~10 min read 1,836 words

In the silence, the Demon Clan people raised their hands one after another.

"Sect Master Chen, we dare to swear to the heavens!"

"Fine, then swear to the heavens and say what you just said again."

After Chen Ang's voice fell, the Demon Clan people said what they had just said in unison.

Taking advantage of their extreme focus, Chen Ang flicked his fingertip, and a streak of ancient power flew out instantly, landing straight on the top of their heads. In a split second, the ancient power disappeared on their heads, and the few Demon Clan people who were speaking stopped instantly, as if they had been acupoint-struck, unable to even blink their eyes.

Seeing them staring straight at him, Chen Ang smiled softly.

"Since you have sworn to the heavens, I will spare your lives, but this matter of you following me cannot just end like this. Now that you have my aura in your bodies, if you are unwilling to work for me, you won't need me to act; your meager cultivation will turn to ash. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Chen Ang's words, the Demon Clan people wanted to give a response, but their bodies were bound; even if they shouted desperately in their hearts, they couldn't give any response on the surface.

"If you want to answer me, just tell me in your hearts."

Chen Ang pointed out the way, and the Demon Clan people answered in their hearts one after another.

Hearing their response, the smile on Chen Ang's lips grew a bit wider.

"From now on, you are Demon Clan people who follow the Human Race. You return to the Demon Clan, understand the Demon Clan's affairs seriously, and report to me periodically. When the time comes, I will naturally send someone to find you. If I don't find you, you don't need to find me. Do you understand what I mean?"

Soon, the Demon Clan people answered in their hearts again.

After hearing their words, Chen Ang then reached out his hand and released the binding on their bodies.

As soon as the ancient power disappeared, the few Demon Clan people fell to the ground one after another, gasping for air, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle and all their strength had dissipated.

Looking at them, Chen Ang said softly: "With your strength, it is best not to try to challenge me, otherwise it is as simple for me to crush you as it is to crush an ant. If any of you want to try, I can accompany you to the end; if you don't want to lose your lives, then do as I say. Do you understand?"

After hearing his words, the Demon Clan people's faces turned pale, and they nodded one after another.

After patting them on the shoulder, Chen Ang waved his hand casually.

"Go back, go back and reply to them properly."

After dealing with the Demon Clan matter, Chen Ang and the others continued on their way.

On the road, Qing Mei asked with some worry: "Chen Ang, will those Demon Clan people listen to you?"

Knowing what she was worried about, Chen Ang smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, they will definitely listen."

"What if? What if they betray you?"

"There is no 'what if'; they have my aura in their bodies. Once they have thoughts of betrayal, they won't even have the chance to speak. As long as their thoughts move, their lives will naturally be gone."

Understanding what was going on, Qing Mei breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"As long as you are sure, the Demon Clan people are too cunning; I'm afraid they will betray you."

"They won't, just put your heart in your stomach. There is an inn ahead; let's stay there."

Looking up, Qing Mei nodded.

This time they were just sending the Beast Clan people back to their clan and didn't involve other matters, so naturally, they didn't need to hide. If there was a place to stay, they would stay.

Taking everyone to the inn, Chen Ang booked all the upper rooms directly.

Just as they settled down, Wan Shitong came looking for them.

Sticking his head in, he asked with sparkling eyes: "Boss, can we have some wine? The wine here is especially fragrant; I want you to taste it."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang smiled softly.

"Wan Shitong, do you want me to taste it, or do you want to taste it yourself?"

"Hehe, I want you to taste it, and I'll take advantage of the situation by following you, Boss."

Hearing him state his gluttony so openly, Chen Ang shook his head with a smile.

"You, you are only active about eating and drinking; I don't know when this bad habit will change."

"Boss, drinking a little wine isn't a bad habit. I only drink when you allow it; if you don't allow it, I definitely won't touch it!"

"Fine, then just order a few jars, take everyone to taste it, and that's it. We still have to continue on our way tomorrow; don't drink too much and delay things."

Hearing him finally loosen his mouth, Wan Shitong nodded repeatedly.

"Alright Boss, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion; I'm going to order the wine now!"

After speaking, Wan Shitong ran off happily.

That evening, Wan Shitong arranged dinner extremely properly, ordered some of the inn's signature good dishes, and also matched them with a few jars of fine wine.

"Everyone, this is what the boss asked me to prepare for you. Everyone just taste a little; don't get drunk. The boss said we have to continue on our way tomorrow; don't delay important matters because of wine."

After his words were spoken, everyone responded one after another, and at the same time, cast grateful gazes toward Chen Ang.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Chen Ang moved his chopsticks first.

"The dishes here are not bad; everyone try them."

He moved first, so others naturally didn't need to be reserved anymore. Picking up their chopsticks, everyone tasted them one after another.

As soon as the dishes entered their mouths, everyone praised the inn's dishes endlessly, making the innkeeper's lips almost reach his ears.

Perhaps because they praised him to his heart's content, the innkeeper was happy and sent them a few more jars of wine.

Looking at these few jars of wine, Wan Shitong was left between laughter and tears.

"Boss, it's free; should we drink it?"

Hearing his words, Chen Ang asked with a smile that wasn't a smile: "What do you think?"

Sensing the wrongness in his tone, Wan Shitong hurriedly said: "I say we can't drink it; we have important matters tomorrow, how can we drink so much wine? We'll take these jars on the road and satisfy our cravings when there's no place to stay!"

When setting off again, Wan Shitong bought a wooden cart specifically to pull his few jars of wine.

Seeing him pulling the cart like an ox, everyone was amused by him.

Patting him on the shoulder, An Xinyi said with a smile: "Wan Shitong, aren't you being too desperate? You bought a cart specifically for a few jars of wine? In case there's no place to rest later, are you going to pull these few jars of wine all the way to the Beast Clan?"

Hearing his teasing, Wan Shitong rolled his eyes: "Mind your own business; if there's really no place to rest, I'll treat it as a gift for the Beast King!"

"Yo, then this can really be considered a light gift with heavy affection; although the wine isn't precious, pulling it all the way there can be considered doing your best."

"I'm willing; stop talking wind-cooled words here! If you have the ability, don't drink when everyone is drinking!"

One sentence successfully blocked An Xinyi's mouth.

Following behind the two, Chen Ang shook his head helplessly.

"Wan Shitong, there are only mountain ranges ahead; are you sure you want to keep pulling this cart?"

Hearing Chen Ang's words, Wan Shitong looked up and turned his head resentfully: "Boss, are you telling me a bit too late?"

"Not late; if you give up now, you can save some physical strength."

"Physical strength is saved, but my wine and silver are lost; Boss, you did this on purpose!"

Hearing his accusation, Chen Ang spread his hands innocently.

"Don't blame me; the wooden cart was bought by you on your own initiative. If you had discussed it with me, you wouldn't have lost a single bit of silver."

After Chen Ang's voice fell, Wan Shitong wanted to refute a few words, but after thinking about it, he found that Chen Ang wasn't wrong. At the time, he was afraid he wouldn't agree, so he made the decision on his own. Unexpectedly, he ended up lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet in the end!

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since I've pulled it this far, I'm not afraid of the mountain road ahead; I've already spent the silver, so I can't spend it for nothing!"

After speaking, he looked up at the crowd and said: "If you want to drink my wine, help me at a critical moment, otherwise, when we stop to rest, none of you think about drinking!"

Hearing his words, everyone nodded while holding back laughter.

When moving forward again, Wan Shitong changed from the leading position to a follower, pulling the cart miserably and trying his best to keep up with everyone's pace.

In the evening, everyone finally walked onto the mountain road.

Looking at the mountain in front, Chen Ang said with a smile: "We only need to bypass this mountain to reach the Beast Clan."

As soon as he said this, Wan Shitong was dumbfounded instantly.

"Boss, what did you say? You said we have to bypass this mountain? I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

Listening to his incredulous tone, Chen Ang said while holding back laughter: "You didn't hear wrong; we are indeed going to bypass this mountain. This is the road the Beast Clan people brought us; it saves a day's journey compared to the road we usually take."

Learning he didn't hear wrong, Wan Shitong felt bitter in his heart.

Two full days of mountain road—wasn't that going to cost him his life? But he had already pulled it this far; if he really said he was giving up, he was truly reluctant!

For a time, Wan Shitong fell into a dilemma, not knowing how to choose.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ang couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

"Fine, Wan Shitong, stop struggling. Now that the sun has set, we will rest here; hurry up and finish these jars of wine!"

Learning there was a chance to finish these jars of wine, Wan Shitong immediately called everyone and poured wine for them personally.
