Chapter 3118: Chapter 102: The Stories of Rich and Fear That Must Be Told

...

In the end, Wang Fugui still went to the Sunrise Sea of the Void to meet with Great Commander Dread.

And seeing Wang Fugui off, Ji Taichang was in a very foul mood.

No other reason, just because Wang Fugui had harshly reprimanded him at the farewell banquet, saying things like, "Your Ji Family holds the power of Dongxia Military Work, yet you occupy high positions without contributing, not thinking of progress," and so on.

According to Wang Fugui, the Ji Family, as the second largest Prominent Family in East Xia and holding such a tool as military work, could unleash an immensely terrifying power if they were willing to actively reform military equipment, optimize artifact refining techniques, actively encourage civilian artifact refiners to invent and create, and enhance the overall strength of the artifact refining industry in the Dongxia Divine Dynasty.

But unfortunately, the Ji Family did nothing, practically living on past achievements.

In the past hundred thousand years, the overall development of East Xia has almost stagnated, although it hasn’t weakened, there hasn’t been any significant improvement either.

This is partly because the Demonic Clan’s invasion consumes huge amounts of funds, all invested in the Void Sea Battlefield, but the reality is that the Demonic Clan has always been held at bay outside the Void Sea Battlefield; internally, East Xia God Continent is actually relatively stable, yet there still is no development.

Ultimately, both the Xuanyuan and Ji families bear unshakable responsibility for this.

If the Dongxia Divine Dynasty had been managed to be stronger, would there be a need to humble themselves so much now to seek peace?

Wang Fugui’s words lingered in his mind for a long time, making him jump with anger, yet also leaving a bitter taste in his heart.

Aggrieved.

Deeply aggrieved.

For the first time in his life, Ji Taichang was scolded face-to-face by a junior, yet he couldn’t retort.

He couldn’t claim total ignorance of the problems within the Ji Family.

After all, he wasn’t born as the successor to the Tranquil Sky Divine King; he also emerged from many competitors with difficulty, fully aware that there are many issues within the Ji Family.

And these issues are prevalent in many large Prominent Families nowadays.

Knowing a problem doesn’t mean you can solve it. Many real-life problems have no right answers, especially with the intricate entanglements within large Prominent Families, eliminating the ailments is exceedingly difficult.

Moreover, his main focus is on the battlefield, making it hard to attend to family affairs.

The last time he returned to his family, he carried out some reforms, but merely brought up a batch of new young people, hoping a few talented individuals might emerge among them.

It seems now, it’s not enough.

Ji Taichang, increasingly frustrated, within a short span of over ten days, wrote several letters reprimanding the family, ordering them to learn good management and development practices from the Wang family!

Deep down, he worries more that if the Ji Family continues with its lack of progress, it might be completely overshadowed by the increasingly powerful Wang family.

Seeing their master in such a state, his strategists couldn’t help but hold back their laughter.

This time, Marshal Ji was indeed "bullied" quite severely by Young Master Fugui, and what’s more, Fugui’s words made sense.

"What’s so funny?" Ji Taichang shouted in anger and shame, "Just after winning a small victory, are you already floating? Hurry and pass the order, get the left-wing army moving, and take a battle stance to support Fugui."

"Yes, Marshal."

His men quickly composed themselves, their faces serious, and continually took orders.

Time slipped by.

[Sunrise Sea World Group].

This is one of the more affluent territories in the Destroyer Devil Territory, later conquered by Ji Taichang, and now fallen into the hands of Great Commander Dread.

With three changes of ownership, the vast Sunrise Sea World Group has now turned into a living Purgatory.

This is the sorrow of worlds lacking strength.

When not powerful enough, in the face of stronger beings, they often have no choice, merely living under the stronger’s whims, and sometimes surviving well becomes a luxury.

Unless a Taoist Master emerges in the Sunrise Sea World Group to lead them against the Demonic Clan’s invasion. Considering the cost-effectiveness of capturing this world group, perhaps Great Commander Dread wouldn’t persist in a fierce battle, allowing them to stabilize and gradually develop.

Unfortunately, this possibility is exceedingly slim.

Within the Sunrise Sea World Group, there is a vast, magnificent expanse formed by the convergence of several main veins of the Tianhe, known as [Sunrise Sea].

The Great Commander Dread’s vehicle, [Fear Demon Castle], quietly floats within the Sunrise Sea.

This gigantic fortress, not only a residence for the Great Commander Dread, is also an extremely powerful war fortress.

The fortress can carry a large elite army of the Demonic Clan, becoming the main force in the conquest of Different Worlds when they arrive.

Besides, the fortress itself has incredibly exaggerated defensive and offensive capabilities. It’s equipped with long-distance communication devices, auxiliary detection equipment, and more, providing strong support to the army.

The combat effectiveness of a Demonic Clan Great Commander with or without a fortress residence is entirely different.

On this particular day, the Fear Demon Castle welcomed the Human Envoys.

Within the fortress, the massive Great Commander Dread sat majestically on the throne, several alluring female Demonic Gods attendant by his side, with a row of Demonic Clan trusted aide soldiers standing on either side.

The two main Personal Guard Leaders, both of whom are Level Fifteen Demon Lords, stood at the forefront.
