Chapter 55: Knowing the Cause and Effect, Song Jing Loses the Reward, Knowing the Heart of the People, Dongquan Captures the Demon

Seeing that Song Jing was in a miserable state and had lost an arm, Dongquan did not try to figure out how many of his injuries were caused by fighting and how many were intentional, nor did he try to win people's hearts, so he just let him kneel.

"How did you feel guilty? Why did you come back with injuries all over your body?"

Song Jing did not dare to stand up, and let the blood spill on the ground: "Reporting to the master, that day I received an order and went to explore the Little Phoenix Island with three foundation-building cultivators. Everything went smoothly at first. The owner of the Little Phoenix Island, Nalan Zhi, was alone, with only one foundation-building cultivator and no help. The four of us took advantage of the dark night and strong wind to rush into the island owner's mansion.

But there was a trap in the house, which alarmed Nalan Zhi. Nalan Zhi was extremely powerful and had brute force. She seemed to have practiced some kind of physical training method and was invulnerable to swords and guns. We were caught by her accidentally, and one of us was killed on the spot, and the body was cut into two pieces. The remaining two were captured. My subordinates risked their lives, used magic treasures, and summoned the demon god to stop her for a moment, but one of their arms was also taken away, so they hurried back to report the news. "

Physical training? Invulnerability?
Dongquan was a little confused. Most people in this world cultivate their spirits but not their bodies. They have great supernatural powers. Although their physical bodies have various strange phenomena, they are still inferior to their supernatural powers.

Is he a cultivator of ancient methods, or a supernatural being?

No matter what, it’s time to take a trip to Xiaofeng Island!

Thinking of this, Dongquan stood up and said, "Get up, don't kneel anymore!"

He slowly walked in front of Song Jing, and seeing that he didn't dare to stand up, he pulled him up and said, "Since Nalan Zhi was able to fight four people alone, she must have some magical powers. You are not weak, so it's not your fault."

After Song Jing stood up straight, he continued, "But the country has its own laws. You didn't complete what I told you to do. This is a fault. I will impose a small penalty on you. I will record it for now to see how you perform. If you have made meritorious contributions, the small penalty will be waived. Do you accept this?"

"Song Jing accepts the punishment." Song Jing shook his body and bowed.

There are clear differences between right and wrong, just like when the Nine-Headed Insect sent Benboerba to kill Tang Seng and his disciples, even if Benboerba risked his life, he could not kill the Monkey King, so this is not a mistake.

But if an order is given but not completed, it is a fault. Although the punishment will not be severe, the person must be struck, raised high, lowered slowly, and handled with care.

After saying this, Dongquan turned around and said, "It is the same for you. Once you receive an order, I will not pursue it too much or criticize you too harshly beyond your ability, but you must complete it within your ability, and not only complete it, but also complete it beautifully.

I still know some basic refining techniques, and there are still many spiritual objects and precious materials left in that treasure boat. I am here to say this today. If you do a good job, I will reward you, and the reward will be great. I have all the treasures on me, and the spiritual materials in that treasure boat are prepared for you. He Jin and the other four have made great contributions, and I will personally refine treasures for you!"

Dongquan pointed at the four people one by one and said, "If you keep doing this, I promise that you will be equipped with treasures. When you meet your enemies, you won't even need to use your magical powers. You can just smash them to death with your treasures!"

Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this, especially He Jin and the other four. They had seen Dong Quan's treasure refining skills before, so any talk of it being crude was nonsense. Demon cultivators were not rich to begin with, and a weapon refiner had treasures wherever he went. It was impossible for him to end up becoming a miserable demon cultivator in the Sumeru Sea.

How did the Dragon-Catching Heavenly Monarch rise to prominence? It was because of his skill in drawing talismans that he was so popular and was treated as a guest of honor wherever he went.

After Dongquan's words came out, even the five new foundation-building cultivators were less resistant, thinking that this new master was really generous. Even Song Kyoto next to him breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth secretly.

Seeing that the excitement was almost over, Dongquan changed the subject: "I am the most fair person in my life. Merits are merits, faults are faults. I won't take anything that is yours, and you shouldn't take anything that is not yours. If anyone embezzles the credit of others and criticizes their subordinates, watch your head! I also know the temperament of demon cultivators. To say that they are bad is an understatement."

Dongquan smiled slightly, and everyone else smiled as well, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. "In the past, you guys were always taking bribes, and I turned a blind eye to your greed for spiritual objects, and let them go. As the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If I control you too much, you will not feel comfortable." Dongquan spread his hands.

“But don’t overdo anything. If you rats eat up the granary, you will be the ones who will suffer. So, you should know the limits. If there is not enough supply when you need it, then you will have to experience my Dongquan’s methods!
Another rule, I'll make a rule, we are all on the same boat, we should behave like powerful people, don't be like those stupid and greedy beggars, who always want to extract souls and refine human pills.
You are rich now, and you have a boatload of treasures for you to make. Don't be petty. Don't do those things that are against the will of heaven and earth, so as to avoid the retribution of karma and the three disasters and six calamities. Even if the disasters don't find you, I, Dongquan, will personally send you into the calamity."

These words, combined with warnings and threats, frightened everyone into not daring to utter a word. If this were regarded as a sacred law, it might at least keep them quiet for a while.

The hall was silent for a while. He Jin seemed to remember something and said, "My lord, I have something else to report."

"explain."

"The owner of Black Reef Island, Li Dahe, is a close confidant of the Dragon-Catching Lord and has surrendered to him very early. If he doesn't cooperate..."

"If you don't cooperate, I'll kill you. I don't need to teach you how to kill people, do I?"

"I am very familiar with this matter," He Jin laughed, "but if we kill Li Dahe, we might attract the Dragon-Catching Heavenly Monarch. In addition, 70% of the income from the market must be turned over on time. This is the rule..."

"Let's just talk about it first. If there is a conflict, contact Panlong Island and make concessions. It is common for the island owner to change. With profit in mind, Panlong Island will not even care about this. At most, they will hand over 90%. Anyway, they will have to pay back the principal and interest. When I finish dealing with Xiaofeng Island, I will go find him without the need for that damn Dragon Capturing Heavenly Monarch to come."

As soon as these words came out, everyone got a little agitated. He Jin even rubbed his hands and stepped forward: "My Lord, that Heavenly Lord who captures dragons is very powerful. Of course, I am not questioning your power. Please tell me the truth so that the brothers can be prepared."

Dongquan snorted coldly: "I refined a treasure today, which is the most suitable for me. Before refining, I was 100% sure. After refining, I was 120%. It just so happens that my treasure has not been sacrificed yet. Do you want to try my magic weapon?"

He Jin lowered his head and stared at the magic knife on Dongquan's waist. He felt dizzy and dizzy for a moment, unable to control himself. He felt a surge of thoughts in his mind, countless greed, anger, infatuation, madness, regret, despair and other evil thoughts surged in his mind, even the soul was about to fly away.

Dongquan flicked the hilt of the knife with his fingers, and the clanging sound reached his ears. He then woke up and gasped for air. He felt that this was the first time he was so close to death. He knew that the demon soldiers were powerful, so he dared not look at them anymore and waved his hands repeatedly: "My lord, the demon soldiers are very powerful. You must not try them."

Dongquan ignored him and held Song Jing's shoulder with one hand: "You lost your arm because of me, I will get it back for you."

The nine-foot-tall man trembled slightly when he heard this.

Dongquan slapped him in the face and cursed, "What are you doing? You really bring shame to the demon cultivators. Don't even think about staying under my command when you go out."

As he said this, he put down his knife and walked out. When he reached the door, he said, "You demon cubs followed me. If you get bullied outside, that's a loss of face for me. I will certainly get it back for you. However, if you get beaten up for some bullshit, don't blame me for being the first one to clean up the mess. I'm a demon cultivator master, not here to clean up your mess."

As he spoke, he walked out, crossed the threshold, stopped, and said, "What are you still standing there for? You want to be a scumbag with no cultivation, you don't even have a bit of sense, follow me, can you show off your strength?"

Song Jing was the first to respond and followed with big strides. Now he was behind Dong Quan, silent. The others cheered, and the group walked out in a mighty manner.
