Chapter 550: Chapter 378: Firm Control Over the Demon Clan_2

Other members of the Demon Clan might not quite understand the current situation, but at least it seemed they wouldn’t have to worry about food.

“Xie Yang, you’ve made arrangements for us, and we are willing to reside here, but what must we do to live freely like you, Cat Soul Feather?”

“From now on, you may call me Daoist friend, which is a custom of the Human Clan. You’ll need to adapt to that.”

“Alright, Cat Daoist friend, my true form is that of a Green-Scaled Snake Demon; you may refer to me as Lv Lin, or you may call me… Green Daoist friend.”

“Green Daoist friend? That sounds… strange. Let’s call you Snake Daoist friend instead. After your arrival here, you’ll be under observation for a while. If there are any with murderous intent… they will be executed on the spot, no room for negotiation.”

Da Xiong, who was in the midst of gutting an eagle, was startled.

“Ah!?”

“What? This… Our Great Bear clan doesn’t exclusively eat vegetarian either.”

Cat Soul Feather smiled wryly, finding this fellow quite interesting.

With cat ears and a human face, warm and tender as a spring breeze, it struck right at the heart of Da Xiong, who was smitten.

“So beautiful…”

Having turned human, Cat Soul Feather retained some fluffy feline traits and was extremely beautiful, the type that could charm both Human and Demon Clans alike.

The other two taciturn, primordial elephant brothers couldn’t take their eyes off Cat Soul Feather either, feeling like a mere “Mysterious Eyes” from her could hook their souls away.

“It’s naturally fine to consume Demon Beasts that haven’t developed Spiritual Wisdom. What I mean by murderous intent is the inclination to kill each other, to harm mortals and low-level cultivators, to snatch treasures and the like…”

“Oh, oh! That won’t happen! We understand rules! We have brought many special items from the Demon Realm, which can be traded with the Human Clan to exchange for things we need.”

The Pig Demon patted its belly, full of confidence.

Although the old Pig’s household didn’t have much surplus food, the Pig Demon liked to collect all sorts of rare and curious things. It would eat anything and stash the indigestible bits inside its belly, accumulating quite a stash over the years.

Furthermore, it had specifically sought advice from Lv Lin, preparing many treasures the Human Clan might fancy.

Its greatest wish was… to find a human partner, have nest after nest of piglets, then use the abundant resources of the human world to provide for its offspring, restoring the glory of the old Pig’s home!

As a member of the Demon Clan, it naturally needed to prepare some treasures lest the Human Clan looked down upon it…

“You’re quite clever for a Pig Demon; good. Having this concept of following rules is the first step to integration with us.”

Yang Shi observed the Pig Demon from the rooftop, thinking it resembled a savvy merchant.

The other Great Demons took note of the importance of ‘following rules’.

Cat Soul Feather continued, “Next, you will live peacefully here for a few years, study some books and the knowledge of the Human Clan, and when we judge you to be qualified, we will take you to meet my master.”

“Can’t we meet Master Tong Tian yet? We’d love to witness someone who can write ‘All beings have spirits, teach without discrimination, and Daoist skill is natural.’ We admire him greatly.”

“Humph~ There are many who admire my master. Countless sects have invited my master to give lectures. If he were to meet with everyone, would he have any time for himself? You’re only here because my master saw you were truly pitiful and helped you out of convenience. You’ll get to see him when you’re worthy.”

Yang Shi threw a bucket of cold water on the six demons.

Yet the six Great Demons now viewed the high personage as even more profound.

“Yang senior is right… absolutely right. We will definitely perform well!”

Lv Lin was very satisfied; at least now they had an environment in which they could survive and slowly adapt.

If they were really thrown onto the streets of the Human Clan now… they wouldn’t dare. What if they said something wrong and were killed by a senior of the Human Clan? Wouldn’t that be a wrongful death?

Cat Soul Feather took out an Array Plate from her bosom; a shield rose around it, covering a large area and extending all the way to the bottom of the spatial passageway.

“This is an Array Plate. I’ve learned some Array tricks from my master and have set up a minor array here. Do not leave its bounds, or else… it will bring about fatal disaster.”

“We wouldn’t dare.”

Lv Lin looked around; the area covered by the array was quite expansive, with plenty of Demon Beasts to catch and Spirit Fruits to pick, greater than all the territories of the six demons in the Demon Realm combined.

“In addition, I have a task for you… My master says this spatial passageway might see other members of the Demon Clan pass through, but he’s going to be busy giving lectures and won’t have time to attend to it. Since my senior brother and I won’t be around much either, we’ll leave it to you.”

“Ah? What should we do?”

“Inform the new Demon Clan members of the rules and have them live here properly. If there are any who disobey or attempt to break the array… you must stop them, and if you can’t, then you will be punished alongside them. By then, forget about seeing my master; you’ll be going straight to Master Lei Huo.”

“Hiss~ We wouldn’t dare! We’ll definitely discipline any coming members of the Demon Clan well!”

The demons hastily agreed.

“If you can discipline them well… it’ll be considered a merit. My master might reward you with a magic skill sufficient to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and, proving your abilities… you may gain your freedom sooner.”

“By the way, my master also said that the six of you demons have a connection with him. Over this period while he’s out giving lectures, the best performer among you will be taken as a registered disciple by him.”

Yang Shi reminded them.

“Thank you, Cat Daoist friend! Thank you, Yang senior! We will definitely perform well!”

The demons were extremely excited; this was exactly why they had come, wasn’t it?

They wanted to eat their fill, learn the Human Clan’s magic, and quickly step onto the grand path of the Nascent Soul.

Just thinking about becoming registered disciples of the Immortal Sect like Cat Soul Feather, how great would that be?
