Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

"Wait a minute."

Just as Poison Master was about to leave, a calm voice sounded again, causing Poison Master's body to suddenly stiffen.

At this moment, Master Du couldn't help but turn around. Seeing that the person who spoke was another human who made him feel dangerous, he forced a smile on his ugly face and said, "I wonder what your Excellency wants me to do?"

"It's simple. Release all the humans you've captured, and then tear down the Star-Picking Tower."

Su Mu looked at Master Du and spoke calmly.

Du Fuzi was furious when he heard this, but he could vaguely sense the threat coming from the other party, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Are you going too far?"

"Where is this going too far?"

Su Mu answered very calmly.

"I spent a lot of energy and painstaking effort to build the Star-Picking Tower. I don't know how much effort it took, but you want me to tear it down and try to destroy my hard work. Isn't this going too far?"

In order to win the smile of his beloved, he, the Poison Master, spent a lot of energy. In order to build the Star-Picking Tower, he didn't know that he had to go back and forth to capture humans, and each trip was a risky endeavor.

After all, kidnapping humans could easily lead to being hunted down by the Yiqi Daomeng. He had confronted Daoist priests of the Daomeng several times when kidnapping people. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, he only injured but never killed those Taoist priests. This was undoubtedly an extremely risky thing. After all, if a Daoist League master attacked him, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

Moreover, in order to prepare for the construction of this Star-Picking Tower, he personally discussed ideas with those lowly humans, working day and night...

"Ah……"

Su Mu sneered after hearing this: "It's true that the Star Picking Tower consumed a lot of energy, but what does that have to do with you, Poison Master? If you, Poison Master, could build the Star Picking Tower, why would you abduct humans? It's only because you, Poison Master, couldn't build it that you abducted a large number of humans to help you build it. And every brick and tile of the Star Picking Tower was built bit by bit by the hard work of the humans you abducted. What does that have to do with you, Poison Master?"

"What's more, I haven't held you accountable for your casual kidnapping of humans because you are one of the Five Poison Guardians of the Southern Kingdom. If not, it wouldn't be me speaking to you right now, but my sword."

As he spoke, Su Mu's eyes became increasingly cold.

The Du Fuzi's already ugly face looked even uglier at this moment: "I will not agree to tearing down the Zhaixing Tower."

He was still waiting for the Star-Picking Tower to be built so that he could invite Madam Du to win her smile and win her heart. How could he be easily rejected because of a word from the other party?

Although this human gave him a great sense of crisis, as one of the Five Poison Guardians of the Southern Kingdom, Master Du was not made of clay. His strength was not weak, so he might not be afraid of the human in front of him.

"If that's the case, then it's not up to you."

Su Mu pressed the hilt of the sword, his tone cold.

"Oh, do you think I'm a poisonous master and I'm afraid of you?"

Poison Master also had an angry look on his face, and the eight compound eyes on his face were glowing scarlet at this moment.

The scene suddenly became tense.

“Slow down…”

Seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant and a battle was about to break out at any time, Wang Quan Baiye spoke at this moment.

As Wang Quan Baiye spoke, Du Fuzi and Su Mu also set their eyes on Wang Quan Baiye's funny 'faceless' mask.

Seeing both sides looking at him, Wang Quan Baiye smiled heartily. "If you ask me, how about we both take a step back? The Star-Picking Tower has already been built, and tearing it down would be a waste. How about Master Du just release all the humans he's abducted, and let this matter go?"

After hearing this, Master Du's expression eased slightly, and he spoke sincerely, "This lord is quite reasonable, but could you please give me a little more time? The Star-Picking Tower is almost finished. How about waiting for these people to finish the building, and then I will personally send them back one by one?"

Wang Quan Baiye listened, thought for a moment, nodded, and then set his eyes on Su Mu: "What do you think?"

After hearing this, Su Mu looked at Wang Quan Baiye quietly with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. It seemed that Wang Quan Baiye handled the matter properly and was able to prevent the situation from escalating further, but he did not realize the significance of this matter at all.

Wang Quan Baiye is the sword of heaven and earth, the young master of the Wang Quan family, and the future leader of the "Yi Qi Dao Meng". Can't he see the essence of this matter?

That's right, Wang Quan was born into a powerful family, and even though he was kind-hearted, he never really lowered his sights to those ordinary humans at the bottom of society.

If Master Du can kidnap humans at will just to build the Star-Picking Tower, then other monsters cannot kidnap humans for other reasons?

Are humans born to be abducted and exploited by these monsters?

If they were inferior in strength and power, they might be able to endure for a short period of time, but the Yiqidao League never really weakened the Southern Kingdom.

"I don't think there's room for negotiation on this matter."

Su Mu spoke to Wang Quan Baiye very calmly.

Wang Quan Baiye was stunned. He didn't expect Su Mu to refuse. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with his handling of the matter. After all, this monster did not really harm humans, and it was not a monster that committed many evil things.

If this monster is really cruel and cannibalistic, Wang Quanbaiye will be the first one to not let it go. Even if the other party is one of the Five Poison Guardians of the South, he will not be afraid.

"Tear down the Star-Picking Tower, release the captive humans, and this matter will be over."

Su Mu spoke again.

Seeing Su Mu's tough attitude, Wang Quan Baiye frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak again: "Why not take another step back..."

However, before Wang Quan Baiye could continue, Su Mu glanced at him and interrupted him: "Today, Master Du can freely abduct humans because of the construction of the Zhaixing Tower. Tomorrow, other monsters will follow suit. Do you think this is right?"

"Why should I take another step back?"

Wang Quan Baiye opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

Su Mu, however, did not intend to let Wang Quanbaiye go. Instead, he said in a cold voice, "Do you know that those humans abducted by the Poison Master also have families and children. Almost all of them are strong laborers and pillars of their families. After being abducted by monsters like this, do you know what life will be like for these people's families in the future?"

"You are being generous, taking a step back, but have you ever considered what happened to their abducted families? Their fields are left unattended, their elderly parents are left uncared for, and their young children think they've lost their father..."

He spoke calmly, one sentence at a time, causing Wang Quan Baiye to sweat on his forehead beneath the mask.

Obviously, these were things he had never thought of in his ambition for kingship. From the very beginning, this poisonous master said that he had never harmed humans and did not intend to pursue the matter, but he had never thought of these things, or, he had never thought of these things from the beginning.
