CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164 ASSIGNING MOUNTS

What?

Submit?

Jiang Cheng was a bit taken aback, this is a Demon King after all.

One of the top three powers in the Thousand Spirit Domain, and yet so spineless?

Not even as brave as the Three-Eyed Tiger back then, who at least insisted on being killed rather than humiliated.

And keeping it around doesn’t seem to serve much purpose for me.

With the resurrection skill in fights, there’s no need for any help at all.

"Brother, keeping it is asking for trouble, better to kill it cleanly."

The Three-Eyed Tiger came over and advised Brother Cheng not to be soft-hearted, to just cut it down with one stroke.

It had its own motives.

The Profound Turtle King was its natural rival, keeping it around would certainly not lead to peace.

Plus, clinging to Brother Cheng’s leg that can enhance talent and resurrect people is one thing, but allowing more Demons to compete for business is not okay.

"Spare me!"

"I beg Sect Leader Jiang to spare my life, I’ll do anything..."

The Profound Turtle King, unable to escape, saw Jiang Cheng’s undecided attitude and could only plead madly.

"Brother, showing mercy will only get you harmed."

"If you don’t kill it, it’ll rise again like weeds in the spring!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger acted like a schemer, constantly whispering in his ear.

But the final decision was still up to Jiang Cheng here.

"Oh, shut up!"

Mo Chen, who had never liked it, also came over: "Sect Leader, don’t listen to this Tiger Demon. Just mark a contract on the Profound Turtle King’s Divine Soul."

"It can’t rebel against you in the future!"

He didn’t really care about subduing the Profound Turtle King, but since the Three-Eyed Tiger didn’t want to see it happen, he insisted on making it work.

"Think about it, Sect Leader. Having a Demon King as a mount would certainly enhance your status, wouldn’t it?"

"A mount at the Demon King Level, even some Upper Realm Immortals lack such a privilege."

Under his relentless ’persuasion’, Brother Cheng was indeed tempted.

Imagining the scene was indeed quite dazzling.

The ceiling of the Lower Realm is Saint Tier and Demon King, and I’ve got a Demon King underneath me.

Just thinking about it makes me feel leagues above others.

It definitely boosts my image!

"You’re making a good point."

The Three-Eyed Tiger panicked: "Brother, don’t listen to him..."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand: "My mind is made up. Profound Turtle King, are you willing to be my mount?"

Being a mount is quite undignified, and the Profound Turtle King naturally was unwilling.

But it was faced with just two options: die, or agree.

"I am willing..."

Following Mo Chen’s thoughtful guidance, Jiang Cheng imprinted a contract on its Divine Soul, and from then on, this Demon King became his mount.

After Ah Huang released the constraints, the Profound Turtle King’s Spiritual Power recovered, and its Divine Soul regained freedom.

The system’s prompt sounded again.

"Congratulations on gaining a loyal subordinate, you have earned a reward of 45,000,000 points."

With the system’s certification, there’s no running away from this.

But these points, didn’t the system forget to add another zero?

Lan Ti, at the Daoist Palace Realm, had 250 million, and this Demon King is at the Saint Tier, yet only gets 45 million, could there be a mistake?

Brother Cheng checked it out.

Target: Jade Qilin Xuan Turtle King

Talent: Fifth-class

Can be enhanced: Fourth-class

Points required: 21,000

Damn, a dignified Demon King with only Fifth-class talent, is this for real?

How did it cultivate to this point?

Just looking at those Seven Great Sacred Lands, there must be at least a hundred thousand people with better talent than it, right?

This guy becoming a Saint is an inspirational miracle in itself!

He glanced at those big demons standing dumbly in the sky and felt an instant burst of anger.

I’m standing here on the ground, and you all are still in the sky?

"Quite arrogant, aren’t you? Looks like you also need a good beating?"

This group of great demons numbered 34 in total, a vast number of targets, and Jiang Cheng calculated that even Ah Huang might struggle to lock them all down.

However, since the Profound Turtle King and ’Colorful Deer King’ are now part of his group, exterminating them isn’t impossible.

The group of great demons in the sky heard this and hurriedly shrank down and descended in fear.

"No, no!"

"We’re not arrogant in the slightest; we’re very obedient."

"We were blind and deserve to be punished, plead for forgiveness..."

"Yes, yes, Sect Leader Jiang, spare us a path."

"Sect Leader Jiang, I, this little demon, have never done evil. I don’t kill, I just eat grass, I’m a good demon..."

Spare a path?

Only eat grass?

Brother Cheng almost wanted to laugh.

Seeing them all pitiful now, would I feel the same without the system or Ah Huang?

This group of great demons voluntarily came to kill at his doorstep.

"If you want to live, then stay here and be mounts for my disciples."

"Huh?"

All the great demons looked at each other, clearly reluctant.

Great demons are on the same level as Ascending to Saint, and at this level, their intelligence is no less than that of Ascending to Saint humans.

Being made into mounts, of course, they were a hundred times unwilling.

Especially since none of Feixian Sect’s disciples have Ascended to Saint, their power was far inferior to theirs.

"Seems this Sect Leader is being overly demanding of you all."

"Alright then, I’ll kill you to save you from the hardship."

With a thud, immediately one of the great demons knelt down.

"I am willing, I am willing..."

The other great demons quickly followed suit, nodding their heads as well.

There was no other way, better to live disgracefully than to die a good death.

And thinking carefully, Jiang Cheng appeared omnipotent, so sticking with him could be promising.

Being a mount for his disciples might even lead to them gaining heavenly elevation as well.

Thinking of it this way, it seemed not so unacceptable.

"Elder Mo, you go arrange it."

To subdue them as mounts, a contract must be marked on their Divine Soul.

This complex operation was beyond the capabilities of Feixian Sect’s disciples.

If the demon beasts resisted, things could backfire, reversing master and servant roles.

This is also why high-tier demon beasts in the Cultivation Realm are rarely subdued as mounts.

Such a contract requires mutual consent.

Elder Mo nodded with great honor: "Certainly, Sect Leader!"

Feixian Sect had over 70 disciples, and with only 34 great demons here, more than half were bound to end up without mounts.

So how to choose these people?

The Sect Leader had now delegated this authority to him!

This was a hallmark of becoming the number one confidant beside the Child of the Plane, at least in his eyes.

All the Feixian Sect disciples surrounded him tightly.

An Ascending to Saint level mount means a powerful ally dozens of times stronger than oneself.

This is a great opportunity, who wouldn’t want it?

"Think, Elder Mo, I am Shan Tai... we just talked this morning. Don’t you think our relationship obligates you to give one to me?"

"Come on, with how we get along, you know I deserve one, right?"

Almost the moment he took on the task, Mo Chen had already picked a few candidates.

Ji Linghan, Sect Leader’s longest-serving disciple, exceptionally talented, and the one Sect Leader looks upon most favorably.

Even if there’s just one, it has to go to her!

Lin Ning, one of the standouts in the Third Generation, who only came second to Lin Ning in entering the Daoist Palace, was deserving as well.

Luo Yuan, Tang Ru, top among the Third Generation, next only to Lin Ning in talent, also suited for the position.

And for those dunderheads Shan Tai, Qin Chang, Gan Ziyi...

Fine, seeing how we usually get along, I guess I should give them one too.

As soon as he took on the task, before even a second had passed, Mo Chen had already made several selections.

Ji Linghan, being the woman who had followed the Sect Leader the longest, deserved one for sure!

Lin Ning, with his talent second only to Ji Linghan in entering the Daoist Palace, also deserving.

Luo Yuan, Tang Ru, outstanding among the Third Generation, just shy of Lin Ning, also deserving.

And these few goofballs, Shan Tai, Qin Chang, Wei Miao...

Alright, given our usual rapport, it’s only right to give one to these guys too, isn’t it?
