Chapter 544: Chapter 546 The beautiful and kind-hearted are easy to deceive
Riding on the Mountain King Dragon when he arrived, this Second Sect Master Chang Huan had such an imposing manner, proclaiming he would kill everyone here, but now he’s like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, making the suffering miners laugh at the ridiculous sight!
“Dad…” Chang Hao also couldn’t believe his eyes, was this the father he respected the most, kneeling before others, not avenging his own mother?!
“I asked you to come here to have a proper talk, if you agree to discipline this little beast properly, all these people can live and take back, getting some doctors isn’t going to be a problem to heal them, hmph, won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin!” Zhu Minglang said.
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s my fault for not knowing what’s good for me, if you can spare my son and my lives, I will definitely work like an ox and horse for you!” Second Sect Master Chang Huan kept kowtowing vigorously, afraid that Zhu Minglang would kill him too.
“Brother Zheng, those half-dead people, get a doctor to treat them and let them do hard labor here at the vein, I’m after all a person with the heart of a Buddha, not fond of killing without good reason, let them do hard labor for a lifetime as penance,” Zhu Minglang told Zheng Yu.
“Good idea. Breaking into someone’s territory and committing violent acts, the crime deserves death, but death is just a moment of pain. That extremely vicious woman obviously hasn’t realized the malevolence in her conduct, her failure to properly raise her son, and even less the sin of harming the innocent. Dying is somewhat regrettable, she should serve a sentence here,” Zheng Yu said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Second Sect Master Chang Huan and his eldest son Chang Hao felt the taste might not be much better than being killed outright.
Dealing with criminals sent to the army wasn’t uncommon for Zheng Yu.
Even if he was the Second Sect Master of the Rock Concealing Sect, once in the hands of the Army Guard, they could still discipline him well, of course, the first thing to do was to cripple his cultivation base.
“Redeem yourselves well, do good for the People of Wutu, behave yourselves, and you might get released early,” Zhu Minglang said to these people from Rock Concealing Sect.
…
After leaving Purple Ore Mountain, Zhu Minglang still didn’t quite trust the people from Rock Concealing Sect, so he said to Zheng Yu, “It’s better to be cautious with this group.”
“Brother Zhu, now that we have our grievances with the Rock Concealing Sect, I have no plans to continue living in peace with them. Once the battle for Absolute Ridge Chengbang in the North Utmost Ridge is over, I will completely subjugate the Rock Concealing Sect. Li Chuan indeed needs some capable and extraordinary forces as a subsidiary power, and the Rock Concealing Sect is quite appropriate to serve us in Wutu,” Zheng Yu already had his own plans.
Zhu Minglang smiled and said, “Then I’ll join you when the time comes. The Rock Concealing Sect should still have some foundations left. The King-Level Realm individuals are not easy for your Army Guard to deal with.”
“Why bother Brother Zhu with such a trivial matter? The King-Level Realm is indeed powerful, but facing the true elite army closing in, at most they can only protect themselves. Besides, how could we in Li Chuan not have King-level strongmen who are nourished by our offerings?” Zheng Yu said confidently.
Coming from someone else, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t have believed such words – individuals of King-Level Realm were more terrifying than one might imagine, and the combined forces of an entire small or medium-sized country might not be able to stop a King-level strongman.
But these words, coming from Zheng Yu, Zhu Minglang found them convincing.
Zheng Yu, from his appearance alone, could be summed up in two words – reliable!
“I’ve heard that the Wutu Vein is extensive, and monsters continuously emerge because of it, hard to fully eradicate. Just as well, my dragons need some experience. This Void Crystal is of great benefit to me. As a token of gratitude, I’ll help you exterminate the Scorpion Demon,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Brother Zhu, aren’t you being a bit disingenuous with that offer? No matter how extensive the Wutu Vein is, it all belongs to the Female Monarch, and what belongs to the Female Monarch, ultimately, is yours. Clearly, you’re cleaning your own mining yard of monsters, how has that become helping me?” Zheng Yu said with raised eyebrows.
“…” Hearing this, it did make some sense.
Li Yunzi had helped him collect many Heavenly Essences, she had little interest in most little creatures on ordinary days, only favoring Little White, of course, that was also paving the way for Zhu Minglang’s Path of the Dragon Shepherd.
In the Wutu Vein, the Heavenly Essence contained within is one of the most precious treasures. Moreover, after being baptized by the Time Wave, all the ores, Spirit Crystals, and essences have been sublimated. Attracted by this immense Spiritual Energy, even more monsters have gathered, and they usually move in groups.
…
Zhu Minglang and Zheng Yu had stayed in Eternal City for a few days.
Zheng Yu was preparing to reorganize the military.
Some leaders selfishly traded the ores and even allowed a faction to enter the mining area. This was an act of embezzlement. Zheng Yu had been away for only half a year and was quite disappointed with the laxity in Wutu.
Zhu Minglang took a stroll in Eternal City, which had been rebuilt and was even more grand than before, especially the jade-white stone statue standing in the city, which was so beautifully crafted it seemed like a goddess worshipped by the common folk!
After inquiring with the hunters and those living in the mountains, Zhu Minglang began to track the traces of monsters.
The monstrous aura was dense. In the peripheral forests of a few nearby towns, one could smell it and even see shallow footprints.
When there were no others around, the Nuwa Dragon revealed herself, staying by Zhu Minglang’s side.
Even in this slightly chilly spring season, the Nuwa Dragon habitually exposed her porcelain-white slender waist.
Her long, alluring dragon form moved lightly, like the graceful skirt of an empress trailing on the ground. Thus she advanced, yet her waist remained upright, which made her upper body stand tall and graceful, exuding a noble and dignified air. The only innocence was on her pure and beautiful cheeks, reflecting a certain naivete towards the outside world.
If one were to describe the Nuwa Dragon’s appearance, it would probably be: beautiful, kind-hearted, and easy to deceive!
Fortunately, Zhu Minglang had already formed a Soul Contract with her, so others couldn’t abduct her even if they wanted to. Otherwise, Zhu Minglang really wouldn’t want to let her come into contact with the dangerous outside world, for fear that some little girl would trick her away and some wicked man would have to spend money on candy hawthorns. The Nuwa Dragon might even help pay for the candy hawthorns.
“Little Ayla, do you like eating candy hawthorns?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“Hmm, yes, they’re tasty,” the Nuwa Dragon replied happily, with her beautiful and unique Night Amber eyes gleaming, and her sweet smile mixed with the alluring charm unique to demon girls.
During their time in Eternal City, Zhu Minglang had bought her a skewer.
“Speaking of which, do you know those Rock Concealing Sect’s spells?” Zhu Minglang remembered this matter and so he asked.
“They, are crude rock hiders. They worship the Earth Nuwa…” the Nuwa Dragon had learned language quickly and could already communicate like a four or five-year-old girl.
“Ah?” Zhu Minglang felt somewhat surprised.
So the god revered by the Rock Concealing Sect was happily eating candy hawthorns right beside him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It’s likely that many of their secret texts are incomplete. The Rock Concealing Sect wasn’t as powerful as imagined, but in the mix of various forces, they were no weaklings either.
“Falling Rock Technique.” The Nuwa Dragon held her beloved candy hawthorn in one hand, and with the other dainty hand—fair, with delicate dragon-scale patterns—she reached out.
