Chapter 57.2 I Am Wang Ke (2/2)

The demons were unable to understand why Zhang Shenxu willingly order his men to take off their storage bangles and place them in Wang Ke’s tub.

“Clang!”

Zhang Shenxu dropped his bangle into the tub and stood aside for the demons to tie him up.

Many demons opened their eyes in disbelief. You just surrendered like that?Aren’t you disciples from the righteous sects?Weren’t you going to sacrifice yourselves for the sake of righteousness?We are still waiting for you to retaliate out of desperation to avoid being humiliated! Why did you surrender just like that?

We have never seen people surrender like this before, in all the years of fighting between the righteous and the demonic sects!Do you think we will spare you if you surrender?

Despite the demons’ disbelief, it was an undeniable fact that those righteous disciples had relinquished their storage bangles, bags, and weapons, placing them in Wang Ke’s tub.

The demons were pulling their hair. What is happening?Has it been such a long time since we’ve been out and about in the world? Why has the righteous way of doing things changed?Are they that easy to deal with now?

The demons looked at Wang Ke, clearly puzzled. Meanwhile, the Golden Crow Sect’s disciples glared at Wang Ke as though conveying a threat; they would expose his secrets and die together if he dared to deceive them.

“Get more people to come and tie these people. They have already surrendered. Quick!” Wang Ke shouted at the demons.

Meanwhile, he returned to where Zhu Hongyi was with a tub full of storage tools and artifacts.

“Parlor Lord, I have collected all the possessions from my big brothers’ murderers. They will get what they deserve. Sniff, sniff. It’s a pity that all my big brothers died in their hands while endeavoring for the sake of our demonic sect. Sniff, sniff. They died such horrible deaths… What should we do about their widows and children? My second big brother had old and sick parents; my third big brother had a handicapped wife; my fourth big brother had an infant… Where will the kid find resources for cultivation without his provision? And the kid still needs to hide and run from the righteous sects’ pursuit. I really… really….!” Wang Ke wiped tears off his eyes as though he were mourning for surviving relatives of the now defunct demons.

These demons sacrificed their lives while working for the betterment of the demonic sect. They died miserable deaths in the hands of the righteous sect, and now I’m going to hand over these possessions for you to manage!So many young brothers, no, I mean so many demonic sect disciples are watching. Could you bear to let these brothers shed both blood and tears?Will you really be that thick-skinned to put these possessions in your own pockets?If you don’t distribute these possessions fairly, how will your men look up to you in the future?Do you still want to lead them?

Indeed, the possessions in Wang Ke’s tub were too insignificant for Zhu Hongyi. He waved his hand generously and said, “Right, you can take all these things back for your Branch Head to settle. Tell him I said to distribute the items to their remaining family members without reserve!”

“Understood. Thank you, Parlor Lord, on behalf of my big brothers! If my big brothers learn about this in the underworld, they will surely be free of regrets after sacrificing themselves for the demonic sect!” Wang Ke replied in gratitude.

Countless demons looked at Wang Ke with eyes reddened by envy. Damn it. This brat snatched all the loot before we could plunder it for ourselves!Can you really keep all those things?

But the Parlor Lord had already given orders. We would not dare to go against him!

And so, the demons could only drool at the loot in Wang Ke’s hands. At the same time, they were thinking about ways to get rid of him.

On the other side, the boss from Gongyi Teahouse and his men had placed the demons’ corpses in the coffins; they had taken off the demons’ possessions and packed them up for Wang Ke separately.

The latter carried the bag filled with possessions and stored the coffins in his storage bangle so they could be buried later.

On the other hand, the Golden Crow Sect’s disciples threw warning glares at Wang Ke when they surrendered, threatening him not to deceive them. But the exchange looked odd in the demons’ eyes. You spineless cowards have surrendered already; what’s the use of looking at Wang Ke with such hateful eyes?I dare you to fight back, right now!

Far in the distance—Zhang Zhengdao continued to curse and swear at Wang Ke. He was primarily envious of the big charlatan he was. Damn you, Wang Ke. You swindled both the righteous and the demonic sides?How did you even do that?And you’re the only one enjoying the benefits?Why!How can you do that!You demons, what a bunch of morons!You just allowed him to take everything?

“Wang Ke, I’m going to bite your butt off if you don’t share some of today’s fortune!” Zhang Zhengdao’s eyes became bloodshot because of jealousy.

In the ruins of the She Clan—Zhu Hongyi and his demon army looked at Princess Youyue again.

“Netherborn? It seems like Qing’er is still prejudiced against me. She hid you here?” Zhu Hongyi walked over.

“What are you trying to do? Don’t come any closer!” Princess Youyue warned anxiously.

“Parlor Lord, I think Immortal Qing cast a defensive spell on Princess Youyue, to prevent anyone from being close to her!” Wang Ke explained.

Wang Ke wasn’t informing against Immortal Qing because there was no hiding it. He mentioned “Immortal Qing” to remind Zhu Hongyi that he should consider her intentions and not act recklessly on his own.

“I know. Qing’er already told me about it before I came here. She placed She Tianba in charge of looking after Princess Youyue. I’m here with all the demonic sect disciples stationed in the Qing Capital on her behalf, all to bring Princess Youyue back for the Nether Demon Assembly! Haha, it’s been so many years since Qing’er last asked me for help! I will certainly take Princess Youyue back in one piece. I won’t even remove the defensive spell she has! Brat, you did well this time around, helping me protect the princess. What’s your name?” Zhu Hongyi looked toward Wang Ke.

“I am Wang Ke! Thank you, Parlor Lord, for acknowledging me!” Wang Ke replied respectfully.

You gave me a lot of benefits, you’re like my own god of wealth. Of course, I should be polite!

“Wang Ke? Good, Wang Ke! Looks like your presence is acceptable for the princess. I will put her under your charge. Don’t let harm come to her, or else I won’t be able to account for it when I see Qing’er! Now, bring the princess along and follow us!” Zhu Hongyi ordered.

“Will do!” Wang Ke acknowledged.

“What are you trying to do?” the princess asked anxiously.

But Wang Ke muttered to her while grabbing her arm, “Good, keep on resisting me!”

“Let me go!” The princess tried to break free from Wang Ke.

But the more she fought back, the tighter Wang Ke restrained her. The demons around them were drooling, craving to eat her up, but none dared to act against their superior’s order.

Countless bats descended at the wave of Zhu Hongyi’s hands. They formed a platform made with black clouds that carried all the group as it rose to the sky, to later head toward the Qing Capital.
