Chapter 396: The Taixu Temple’s Celestial Maiden Huayang! The Wrath Lord! The Scholar! The Lin Family.
“Greetings, Lord Cao Cao!” The demons were quick to read the situation and bowed respectfully.
Li Yanchu gave a slight nod, refraining from any further slaughter. His overbearing and ruthless demeanor perfectly embodied that of a tyrannical demon king.
“I am Wolfie, please look after me, Lord Cao Cao!”
“I am Doge, I’m willing to serve you with all my heart, Lord Cao Cao!”
One after another, the demons tried to curry favor, dropping their fierce and lofty titles and adopting a far more fawning tone.
The demon world was simple: the strong ruled, the weak obeyed. The leopard spiritu who’d just been killed lay exposed in his true form, and the others soon forgot him entirely.
One wolf demon was already eyeing the leopard’s corpse greedily. The flesh, sinew, and bones all contained demonic power, and the inner core, a demon pill, could enhance cultivation when consumed.
“If you want to eat, then eat,” Li Yanchu said icily.
The demons exchanged glances, pleasantly surprised. This Lord Cao Cao didn’t seem as unreasonable as they’d feared. He even declined to claim the demon pill for himself. Seeing that, Ling Fengzi also felt embarrassed to compete with his subordinates.
Soon, the demons devoured the leopard’s remains. Their auras visibly grew stronger, the surrounding demonic energy even more oppressive.
Meanwhile, the orange cat watched with disdain, a cold sneer curling her lips at the sight of such bloodthirsty creatures. Ling Fengzi had the highest cultivation among them and was nominally in charge of this mission, but given his deferential attitude toward Lord Cao Cao, it was obvious who the real power was here. And since this “Cao Cao” handled matters so decisively, even generously, their respect for him deepened.
Before long, they were all firmly under Li Yanchu’s command.
