...

Subsequently, some of the lower-grade demon artifacts, the corpse storage coffin, and the already ruined Yin Sha poison corpse, having attracted no interest, ultimately entered the unsold phase.

Wang Shouzhe proposed, "For this portion of the spoils, I will first inquire with the Academy to see if they want to purchase them. If they don’t, they’ll be sold to the black market of the Hundred Islands Guard."

Once it enters the black market system, it is bound to be bought by some hidden troublemakers, and it might eventually find its way back to the territories of the Yin Sha Sect.

However, those items are quite valuable, and Wang Shouzhe, as the leader of the alliance, can’t just hold onto them without selling, considering it concerns the interests of every family.

And the Academy, already of high status, earns astronomical sums just from the Insecticide Powder tax revenue. To prevent these demon artifacts from aiding the enemy, they might have no trouble buying them.

Moreover, there is the lower-grade spiritual artifact "Nameless Sword," which is not actually named Nameless Sword but rather unknown. Whoever buys it can name it themselves.

In the end, this sword fell into the hands of Ancestor Yuanbai of the Liua Family, who acquired it for the low price of 10 points, making a small profit.

Wang Shouzhe guessed that Ancestor Yuanbai bought this sword, most likely for his brother-in-law, Liua Yuanhui. After all, Liua Yuanhui had just advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm not long ago, and this lower-grade spirit sword was most suitable for him.

With this, Liua Yuanhui’s combat power would increase significantly, and his survival ability would also greatly improve.

Finally, there were just two storage rings left.

After some hesitation, Ancestor Ruhong of the Chen Family directly acquired a lower-grade storage ring for 10 points.

This was also the first storage ring for the East Port Chen Family.

While storage rings are quite useful, they do not enhance combat power, so many lower-ranked families prefer to carry items inconveniently rather than purchase storage rings. After all, these items are not cheap, and even if they had the money, they would surely prioritize buying lower-grade spiritual artifacts to enhance their strength.

Then, there was a middle-grade storage ring.

Everyone looked around at each other, yet no family placed a bid.

The Changning Xu Family, although coveting it, merely did so with longing.

Involving the Space Law, storage rings are a special spiritual artifact with strict material and crafting requirements, and their rarity ensures their value never declines.

Given the choice, they’d rather spend the money on a middle-grade spiritual artifact to significantly enhance their family’s combat strength and foundation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, then I’ll offer 38 points," Wang Shouzhe said with a smile when no bids were forthcoming, "consider it a small bargain for me."

Naturally, no one objected.

Amidst unanimous approval, Wang Shouzhe secured ownership of this middle-grade storage ring.

Unlike others, Wang Shouzhe had substantial requirements for storage rings. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

After all, he plans to venture into the Outer Domain, and the more supplies he can carry, the better, along with having more hidden trump cards.

Moreover, he possesses an upper-grade spirit shield, a middle-grade spirit sword, and Bloodthirsty Vine combat tactics, so he naturally prioritizes enhancing his carrying capacity.

The extra storage ring could be given to Ancestor Longyan, as her elderly self had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, and she should maintain some prestige when going out.

However, in total, the Wang Family spent 64 points, owing a deficit of 9 points in the spoils pool, amounting to an outstanding debt of over 28,000 Qian Gold.

Following that, it’s time to repay the finances as needed and distribute the funds accordingly.

As for Zhou Zhenwu’s share, it will naturally be sent to him.

Amongst this, neither the Golden Sand Xu Family nor the Yingxiu Lu Family obtained any treasures from the spoils, so their points will be directly converted into Qian Gold.

With Qian Gold, they can naturally procure the resources they need.

Such a distribution of spoils made all families feel extremely fair and satisfied, and their goodwill towards Wang Shouzhe soared again.

What they didn’t know was that Wang Shouzhe’s approach was simply a loot distribution principle he learned from organizing raids in games in his past life.

Applying it in this Mystical World, it fit perfectly.

After distributing the spoils, it naturally led to a period of feasting and drinking.

Finally, everyone parted ways happily.

...

After the night banquet of the Changning Huangfu Family, the Qianma Huangfu Family was sealed under the charge of "treason and treason," and their downfall spread quickly, causing a great uproar in the Changning Guard.

The merchants, tenant farmers, craftsmen, and others relying on the Qianma Huangfu Family were all in a state of unease, feeling lost about the future.

The common people who were not implicated showed interest, secretly speculating about whom the Qianma Huangfu Family might have offended to have their roots exposed.

Of course, most people condemned the Qianma Huangfu Family for treason, deeming them worse than pigs and dogs.

Yet, the various noble families of Changning Guard fell into an eerie calm.

Only beneath the surface, subtle undercurrents continued to flow.

The majority of things in this world are like this; by the time the ordinary people get word of it, many rounds of power struggles have usually occurred, and everything has settled.

As for the dangers behind the scenes, aside from the participants, outsiders rarely know the details.

Thus, after some time with arrests, closures, interrogations, and a series of procedures, the case against the Qianma Huangfu Family quickly reached a conclusion.

The implicated Huangfu family members, household generals, key members, and others were all apprehended and sentenced to reclaim the Barbaric Region, facing a life-or-death outcome with scant chances of survival in the future.
