I Can’t Be Sword God



467 Fengzheng sect and the people of Heluo

Li Chu’s mind immediately went over and realized that the sound came from a water tank under the eaves. There was a faint demonic aura that was blocked by the water surface. He could see water overflowing from the tank, and a trembling shadow was hidden in the tank.

Monster?

It seemed to be very afraid and was hiding from something?

Li Chu was new to the place and did not know the situation, so he did not react immediately.

It was also because Yu Qi ‘an had reminded them before they came that the countries in the Western Region were attacked by demons all year round. Over time, they had become accustomed to it. Nowadays, there were even many demons and humans living together, so if you saw a demon here, as long as it didn’t do anything to hurt people, you didn’t have to be surprised.

Before Li Chu could think further, there was another knock on the door. It was very urgent.

“Who are they? This time, even if the God of heaven were to come, there wouldn’t be a room left!”

The brawny lady boss opened the door again while cursing. However, when she saw the person outside, her angry face suddenly stiffened, and then turned into a flattering smile.

Aiyo, what wind has blown you over? please sit down.

There were seven or eight big men in red and white robes, each wearing a tall white hat with a golden arch embroidered on it. In Jinque country, this was the uniform of the country’s officials, similar to that of constables.

The strange thing was that although there was a man in the team who was also wearing an official’s uniform, he had a Black dog’s head. His eyes looked no different from a human’s. He was actually a dog-headed Constable.

The leader was a big man with a full beard. He frowned and said, ” “Don’t talk nonsense. Quickly bring everyone in your shop here.”

“Ah?” The lady boss was shocked. it’s the middle of the night. Officers, what’s the matter that requires such a big fuss? ”

“If I tell you to go, then go!” a Carp Spirit has escaped from the manor of the righteous Feng sect, ” the man with the full beard shouted. the whole city is now on lockdown and is vigorously searching for it. We can’t let it escape!

“Ah, yes, yes, yes, I’ll go right away.”

When the lady boss heard this, she understood the seriousness of the situation and quickly asked the waiter to wake up all the guests.

The guests here were all traveling merchants who had been on the move for the whole day. Naturally, they were all unwilling to be woken up from their sleep. One or two of them were cursing and swearing, but when they arrived at the lobby and saw the Jinque state’s official with a knife and a hat, they didn’t dare to make a sound. After all, if he wanted to do business here, he couldn’t easily offend the officials.

The five people from deyun temple were also pulled over. They were all a little listless, especially the little koi fish, who swam all the way with his eyes closed.

“Is everyone here?” the bearded man looked around and asked.

“Sir, they’re all here,” the lady boss replied.

“Alright,” he said. The bearded man nodded and gestured to his men. go and search for any remaining ones!

“Yes!”

His subordinates responded and immediately scattered.

In the crowd, Wang longqi was resentful. He asked for the reason and couldn’t help but say, ” “If the fengzheng sect has lost their people, why are the Jinque Kingdom’s officials looking for them?”

Yu Qi ‘an chuckled. hehe, you don’t know.

Then he explained to Wang longqi.

……

As it turned out, the fengzheng sect of the twelve immortal sects of he Luo city had been developing rapidly in recent years, and their business was growing bigger and bigger. And their main business was the business of selling demons.

As for this righteous sect, it was originally an Orthodox Daoist sect, relying on the unique secret technique of righteous bestowment for demons to start. It could be considered a unique skill, but it was still far from a large immortal sect.

Later on, a sect leader had a sudden idea and set a rule to sign a hundred-year demon slave contract with the demons who came to ask for a title. Gradually, he gathered a large number of demons with strong cultivation to work for him.

Later on, the reputation of the righteous sect grew, and the number of demons who came to seek a title also increased. The righteous sect also had a new problem.

There were too many demon slaves and they couldn’t take them all in. After all, they had no intention of usurping the throne, and there was no point in keeping such powerful demons. One or two of them didn’t have many life skills, but they ate a lot. In the past, one disciple had to take care of two or three demon slaves. Now, one disciple had to take care of more than ten demon slaves. There were too many demons under the sect, and it was really impossible to keep all of them.

The higher-ups of that generation’s righteous faction thought of a brilliant plan.

That was to sell the demon slave contract. Anyway, for demons, as long as they passed the lightning tribulation and successfully transformed, it didn’t matter who they became demon slaves to. For the righteous fengzheng sect, selling a monster with a big appetite could also be exchanged for a large amount of money, which could be used to develop the sect, recruit more disciples, and expand the scope of its influence.

Human trafficking had always been illegal in the Heluo dynasty, but the sale of demons was not included. This was a huge gap in the law.

In addition, Feng Zhengzhi had bribed the officials and nobles in Zhaoge city, and they were fed well, so no one came to find trouble with them.

In the end, not only did they help the demons that were about to transform, but they also found demons that had not yet transformed. They made an agreement to help you in the future and then directly signed a contract, which directly expanded the supply channels.

The fengzheng sect relied on this business to earn a fortune, and in a short time, it became one of the twelve immortal sects.

However, after more than a hundred years of development, the upright Feng sect had encountered a new problem, and that was the market saturation.

The general view of the Heluo dynasty was still biased against demons, and the common people would not be willing to come into close contact with them. Even if the officials and nobles were willing to raise demon slaves for fun, how many could a family raise?

If they wanted to sell the monsters of the fengzheng sect, they could only go through cruel internal competition. In the past, they only needed to twist their bodies and call out something nice, but now they had to learn all kinds of talents.

To put it simply, it was the inner scroll.

Facing this bottleneck, the righteous faction finally found a new way out. Since the market could not digest it, he would expand to new markets.

At this time, the Western Region, where demons and monsters were rampant, became the main target of the fengzheng sect.

Compared to Heluo, where only the upper class kept demonic slaves, the common people in the Western Region had a much greater demand for demonic slaves. Daily labor, safety protection, and some unspeakable things could all be solved by the demon slaves. They didn’t have a natural rejection of demon slaves, so they were the best consumers.

As for the problem of ordinary people not being able to afford the expensive demon slaves, Feng zhengzheng considerately suggested that they pay on time. As long as they paid the first deposit, they could take the demon slaves home, and the rest could be paid in full in the next twenty to thirty years.

Later on, they even introduced shared demon slaves, which could be rented for a period of time at a cheap price.

Although you could choose not to buy it, how could you do that when others have it and you don’t? Who would rent a demon slave for their entire life? Nowadays, the general trend in the Western regions was that if your family did not have a demonic slave, the girl would feel that her safety was not guaranteed and would not marry into your family.

As a result, many families would even use most of their lives to work in exchange for a demon slave.

Feng Zhengzhi’s power in the Western regions had rapidly grown to a prosperous point. Even though its roots were in the Heluo dynasty, its main battlefield had long been the Western Region.

In order to take root in the Western regions, Feng Zhengzhi had always maintained a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Western regions, sending large amounts of money and slaves. In exchange, he would naturally receive the best treatment.

Just like now, when a demon slave of Feng Zhengzhi sect escaped, there were actually officers who sealed the entire city to help find it. This was the result of Feng Zhengzhi’s many years of management.

……

These words naturally left the few of them dumbfounded.

oh my, these people from Feng Zheng sect are all good at doing business. Wang longqi exclaimed, ” if I can learn this skill, it’ll be a long time before my family’s business can flourish.

“The key is not just the business, but also the core technology.” “It’s because of Feng Zheng’s ultimate technique that we were able to develop further,” elder du said.

“Amazing.” Wang longqi nodded and sighed.

The few of them were having a heated conversation when they suddenly realized that the people around them had dispersed. Only the five of them continued to stand there.

The dog-headed bailiff was approaching him with an unfriendly expression.

“Why?” Duranke asked in confusion.

The dog-headed Constable swept his gaze around and said, ” “There’s demonic Qi here!”

He was looking at where the five of them were standing.

“Oh?” The bearded man walked over with his men and asked, ” “Are you sure?”

“That’s right, there’s demonic Qi here!” The dog-headed Constable looked around the five of them, then glared at du Lanke without hesitation. don’t move!

As he spoke, he sniffed with his dog nose. As he sniffed, he was a little confused. why doesn’t your body seem to have any demonic aura? ”

Sir, ” elder du spread his hands, ” is it possible that I’m just saying ‘it’s possible’? in fact, I’m a human? ”

“What?” The dog-headed Constable looked up at him and immediately shook his head. you’re even darker than me. How can you be human? Impossible, you must be a monster.”

Dulanke was speechless for a moment. Then, he said, ” “We do have a little monster here, but it’s not me. I’m a pure human.”

“Who is that?” The bearded man asked.

“It’s me.” The little koi fish obediently raised its hand.

The dog-headed Constable took a look at the little koi fish and then at du Lanke. He said firmly, ” “Impossible.”

Then, it continued to suck on du Lanke’s body. If it couldn’t smell him from above, it would smell him from below.

tsk, tsk. old du pushed him away and said, ” if you continue to inhale, you’ll get the stench of your athlete’s foot. Why don’t you go and try smelling someone else? ”

The dog-headed Constable really couldn’t smell the demonic aura, so he turned around and walked to the little koi fish. He didn’t even need to get close to it before he shuddered. the demonic aura really does come from this little girl.

“Yes.” The little koi fish nodded.

The bearded man walked over and asked with a frown, ” “What kind of Yao are you?”

“I’m a koi,” the little carp answered honestly.

The bearded man’s eyes darkened. take him down!

A few of his subordinates immediately swarmed over.

“Hey, what are you guys doing?”

The few of them immediately protected the little koi fish. The little girl was shocked and hid behind Li Chu.

The old Daoist coughed and smiled, ” “Officers, this is against the rules, right?”

The bearded man’s face sank. the one who escaped from the fengzheng sect was the carp Spirit. Someone saw the demon escape here with their own eyes. We naturally have to capture her for questioning.

In fact, he had his own plans in mind. In short, the higher-ups had instructed them to capture that demon. If he really couldn’t complete his mission, he could catch this little koi fish. At least there would be a demon to compensate him.

Unfortunately, his plan was going to fail.

Just as the officers were about to arrest him, Li Chu stepped forward. He looked at the bearded man indifferently and said softly, ” “You can’t arrest her.”

“Heh, this is the Jinque Kingdom, not a place where you have the final say,” “If you dare to stop me again, I’ll kill you without mercy!” The bearded man said angrily.

Li Chu’s eyes lit up.

For some reason, the bearded man’s heart suddenly jolted, and he jumped back in shock. He asked, ” “Do you still dare to make a move?”

However, after a moment of apprehension, he felt strange again. The little Daoist in front of him hadn’t moved at all, so why did he feel like he had almost died?

we’re from Heluo, the eastern land, ” Li Chu said indifferently. we have the clearance vouchers, and her name is on them.

As he spoke, he glanced at old du.

Old du immediately understood. He took out the clearance voucher from his backpack and handed it to the bearded man. He said coldly, ” “Have you seen lady Yue ‘er’s name? However, if this little koi fish in front of him was not convinced, he could go to Heluo City Pass and ask. And Yingluo, did you see what’s written on it?”

The bearded man’s face suddenly turned green. He paused and did not say anything for a long time.

The fierce-looking officers behind him did not dare to make any more movements, as if they had been hit by a petrification spell.

Old du felt very proud to be watched by the surrounding crowd. He simply picked up the pass document and read the words on it loudly.

“Citizens of the Heluo dynasty, when you encountered danger in the foreign land, you were killed. Don’t be afraid, don’t give up!”

please remember that you have a strong country behind you!
