After hearing Qi Yuan's words, Yang Jian was stunned.
Then he reacted and his eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good way to solve the problem.
He looked at those demon soldiers with bright eyes. These were all excellent laborers.
After the battle just now, although the two brothers and sisters killed many demon soldiers, and nearly half of them escaped by escaping into the river, there are only about two to three thousand left.
Although these demon soldiers are not strong, they can still compete with each other.
In their eyes, of course they are just the lowest level of monsters, and they can kill many of them with just a slap.
However, after all, they are knowledgeable cultivators. They are physically strong and have magic power to help them. If they really want to mine spiritual minerals, their speed will definitely be far faster than that of ordinary people.
In this way, the matter of sacrificing the palace can be put on the agenda.
Qi Yuan looked at Yang Jian looking at the group of demon soldiers with gleaming eyes, and suddenly shook his head helplessly.
It seems that Yang Jian's talents are all in cultivation and fighting, and his reaction speed to other things is not as sharp as when fighting.
However, it is precisely because he focused most of his energy on cultivation that he gained such tyrannical cultivation strength at a young age.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Jian felt a little uncomfortable with his strange eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"nothing."
Qi Yuan didn't dare to say what he was thinking just now, so he quickly changed the subject: "We just recruited so many demon soldiers, you won't be satisfied just now, right?"
"ah?"
Yang Jian was puzzled: "There are no other monsters here?"
Qi Yuan chuckled: "There are none here, but there are many elsewhere. For example, those demon soldiers who escaped earlier must have fled back to the Dragon Turtle Demon King's lair, so the catfish spirit can go and recruit them.
Not only can you get some free labor, but you can also loot the good things in the dragon turtle's lair.
The Dragon Turtle Demon King is also a person who has become a demon immortal. After so many years, he should have accumulated a lot of wealth.
If you need to be in charge of Guanjiangkou in the future, you will definitely have to train some of your own team.
If you want to train a team, you can't do it without resources, so you have to learn to plan carefully. Now that you have defeated the Dragon Turtle Demon King, of course you have to accept the wealth accumulated in its lair.
In addition, the spiritual mines associated with the spiritual veins are not easy to mine. How can these three to two thousand monsters alone collect enough materials, so you still need to recruit more monsters to work for you."
"More monsters?"
Yang Jian was a little confused. Are there more monsters under the Dragon Turtle Demon King?
Qi Yuan smiled and said: "There is not only one demon king, the Dragon Turtle Demon King, around here. Guanjiangkou is the territory you are responsible for guarding. Are you willing to see other demon kings doing whatever they want on your territory?
Even if you don't mind, I'm afraid those demon kings who are accustomed to being cruel and tyrannical are not willing to suddenly have a true king above their heads to intervene in the affairs of Guanjiangkou.
What's more, when you refine the palace and place it here in the future, and also occupy the best spiritual land in Guanjiang estuary, do you think those demon kings won't have other ideas?"
After hearing this, Yang Jian suddenly realized: "Yes, those demon kings will always be a scourge if they remain, it is better to eradicate them as soon as possible."
Qi Yuan nodded slightly and continued: "Actually speaking, the monsters that often harass the people are mainly monsters with relatively low cultivation levels.
Many tribes also have some brave men. It's not that they can't deal with those little monsters, it's just because they have the support of the monster king behind them that they attack the human race unscrupulously.
Especially these water tribe monsters will cause floods to submerge villages and fields from time to time.
However, if you kill those demon kings, subdue a few big demons like Catfish Spirit who are willing to surrender, and let them manage these demon clans respectively, the effect you will receive will definitely be better than if you simply kill those demon kings.
, leaving these monsters alone no matter how much stronger they are.
This is also the reason why I asked you to subdue these monsters. After all, your Guanjiang estuary has wide waters and abundant spiritual energy. Even if you kill all these monsters, new monsters will breed in the future and continue to cause trouble.
But if there is a big demon to help restrain the new monsters, there will be fewer troubles."
Yang Jian nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but then he asked with some distress: "But, if I subdue them, it would be troublesome to manage so many monsters. Moreover, how much materials would be consumed to raise so many monsters?"
A monster?"
"hehe……"
Finally, Qi Yuan couldn't help laughing: "I didn't ask you to treat them as your direct subordinates, you just need to subdue a few leading demons and let them manage themselves.
As long as your strength can deter them, they will remain loyal to you. As for the ordinary monsters, they can continue to live how they lived in the past, as long as they don't harass the people.
Moreover, don’t forget to ask the monsters you have conquered to give you a batch of supplies every year. After all, there are still many spiritual creatures in these rivers. You can use the supplies they offer to train your subordinates.
, isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?
Big monsters like Catfish Spirit, due to their insufficient cultivation, originally did not have the strength to occupy a water mansion, nor could they frighten so many monsters. However, with your support, their status is equivalent to that of a sudden
Raised to the level of the Demon King.
In this case, it is also appropriate to let them bring out some local specialties as a tribute.
Of course, the reason why they pay tribute once a year is just to let them develop this habit. Hundreds or thousands of years later, the newly born demon clan in Guanjiangkou will get used to the existence of your lord, and will become conscious of it.
Please abide by the rules you have set."
Yang Jian silently glanced at Qi Yuan, and he found that this Taoist brother still had a dark heart.
According to him, he not only had to kill those demon kings, but also robbed the treasures accumulated in their lairs, and subdued their subordinates to do hard work for him in mining. Not only that, they had to pay tribute every year in the future, even invisibly.
In the meantime, he also needs to make those monsters get used to the rules he has set.
After thinking about these thoughts carefully, Yang Jian felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he was not one of those monsters from Guanjiangkou, otherwise he might never be able to turn around in the future.
After gathering a group of monsters together, the catfish spirit immediately came to ask Qi Yuan for instructions on what to do next.
Qi Yuan was very satisfied with its awakening, but he did not give it any instructions. Instead, he pointed at Yang Jian and said: "This is the Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun Yang Jian who was personally entrusted by the Jade Emperor of Heaven to guard Guanjiangkou. From now on,
You will be loyal to him.
You have seen the strength of your lord. If you remain loyal in the future, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. If you dare to rebel, you will be beaten to a pulp and you will never be reincarnated."
"The little ones don't dare. The little ones don't dare."
The catfish spirit quickly expressed his loyalty: "Young man must be loyal, and you will never dare to be disloyal."
"Ah That's good."
Qi Yuan said calmly: "This true king of yours is not only profound, but he is also a disciple of a saint, and he is also the nephew of the Jade Emperor. If you have the guts to betray him, I am afraid you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the three realms.
Now the opportunity is right in front of you, whether you can seize it or not depends on your own choice."
These words not only revealed Yang Jian's identity and pointed out his background, but also implicitly warned the catfish spirit that it is best not to have two minds, otherwise there may be no place for it in the Three Realms.
Sure enough, Catfish Spirit was frightened by these words.
It never expected that the identity of this new master would be so terrifying.
Although it is just a wild monster from a small place that has not become an immortal, it has heard of the reputation of the saint and knows that he is the greatest being in the world and must not be offended.
In addition, although many demon kings do not pay much attention to the Jade Emperor, it cannot be denied that the Jade Emperor is the most powerful master in the three realms. Most of the demon kings only pay lip service to it. If we really want them to go against the heaven,
If you do something outrageous and resentful, there will definitely be soldiers from heaven to attack you.
So Catfish Spirit was really shocked when he found out Yang Jian's identity.
But then, a burst of ecstasy emerged in its heart.
Isn't it a good thing to have an owner with such a huge background?
Covered by such a being, which big monster would dare to bully it in the future?
Therefore, after the ecstasy, the catfish spirit becomes more cautious and flatters in his words.
It's just that this guy hasn't read any books, and his ability to flatter is obviously not up to par, and he can only repeat a few sentences.
"Okay, okay."
Yang Jian was upset when he heard it. He waved his hand to interrupt its flattery and ordered: "From now on, I just have to do things well. Well, how many demon soldiers have you gathered now?"
"Return to the Lord."
The catfish spirit cautiously reported back: "The little one has gathered more than 2,400 demon soldiers in total, of which 19 are at the junior commander level, and the rest are all ordinary demon soldiers."
When it said this, its tone paused slightly and said with some hesitation: "But... there is still one thing that needs to be decided by the Lord."
"What's the matter?"
Yang Jian asked.
"May I ask, Lord, what should be done with those women?"
The catfish spirit pointed at the group of 'Yingying Yanyan' not far away, and said: "These are the wives and concubines of the Dragon Turtle Demon King. They were not lost in the chaos earlier. When my subordinates gathered the group of demons, they were also
They all followed."
The catfish spirit does have a headache. After all, these are the wives and concubines of its previous master. It is really difficult to deal with and put them away. After all, it has just pledged allegiance to a new master and secretly took away the wives and concubines of its previous master.
If you let it go, I'm afraid it will be thought that it has second thoughts.
But if he were to be taken under his command, he would also be criticized by other monsters, and his reputation would be bad. The previous master had just died, and it had taken over other people's wives and concubines. Is this ridiculous?
Qi Yuan turned around and saw the group of women gathering together, trembling, waiting for their unknown fate.
After all, if beings like them really meet someone who is cruel, they might be able to eradicate them, lest they still have the seeds of the Dragon Turtle Demon King in their bodies and come to seek revenge when they grow up.
Because they were gathered together, many of them could not see their faces clearly, so Qi Yuan walked over, intending to take a closer look at what these women were like.
As a result, when he came closer and circled around the group of women, he was suddenly disappointed.
It was seen that most of this group of demon women had not fully transformed, and most of them still retained the characteristics of the demon tribe.
Some of them had fish gills, fins, and fish tails. They still had some redeeming features, but Qi Yuan really looked at those banshees with fish heads that had not transformed.
I really don’t know how lustful the Dragon Turtle Demon King is, that he even dares to marry such a banshee. This taste is really unique and eye-opening.
As Qi Yuan walked in, the group of female monsters suddenly became commotion.
After all, they all saw that their master was killed by this man.
Among the demon clan, the strong have always been respected. Since Qi Yuan can kill the Dragon Turtle Demon King, he is certainly a far more powerful person than the Dragon Turtle Demon King.
The reason why these banshees were willing to marry the Dragon Turtle Demon King in the first place was certainly not because of any love relationship. There was no habit of falling in love among the cruelly competitive low-level demon clans. The reason why they married the Dragon Turtle Demon King was
King, just because the Dragon Turtle Demon King can protect their safety.
Otherwise, who would want to share the same man with hundreds of female seductresses.
Now seeing Qi Yuan, a man who was more powerful than the Dragon Turtle Demon King, these banshees were immediately moved.
If you are under the protection of this person, you should be able to live peacefully in the future.
What's more, Qi Yuan is much more handsome than the Dragon Turtle Demon King.
With this thought, a few conceited and beautiful people immediately gave Qi Yuan a few winks. What's more, they were still posing there, using the methods they used to seduce the Dragon Turtle Demon King, and planned to use them on Qi Yuan.
On Qi Yuan.
If it were just these few pretty female fairies, that would be fine. However, when the other female fairies followed suit, Qi Yuan was instantly disgusted.
I am a man who has his own heart, so how can I look after you vulgar fans!
Besides, even if you want to seduce me, can you find a few beautiful ones to come over? You guys all have carp heads and grass carp tails, and that female monster with a pair of dead fish eyes bigger than your fists. You just want to wink at me. This is not
Do you mean to be disgusting?
What's more, the junior sister is watching from behind. Not only the junior sister is here, but also the future mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Don't you embarrass me by acting like this?
"Shangxian, my koi son..."
A conceited and beautiful succubus walked out first, wanting to get close to Qi Yuan to see if she could catch his eye.
As a result, when the other banshees saw this, they were afraid of falling behind, so they rushed forward one after another.
Seeing that these female monsters were about to surround him, Qi Yuan was immediately startled.
He quickly pointed at Yang Jian and said to the group of female monsters: "Here, do you see, that handsome and handsome man is your future master? At the same time, he is also the master of the area near Guanjiangkou. I want to express my gratitude to him."
Be loyal and go to him."
After saying this, Qi Yuan immediately turned around and ran away, not daring to stay with these female monsters.
Yang Jian was secretly looking at Qi Yuan's joke with amusement. Unexpectedly, Qi Yuan suddenly pointed the finger at him, and he was speechless.
However, his way of handling things was much simpler and more crude than Qi Yuan's, and he was also more effective in dealing with these banshees.
Yang Jian glared directly, and a huge aura surged from his body, which immediately frightened the group of banshees, and they did not dare to take another step closer to him.
He glanced at Catfish Spirit and said, "I'm not interested in these things. You can just deal with these little things yourself."
Yang Jian didn't care whether the seeds of the Dragon Turtle Demon King remained in the bellies of these banshees, and directly handed these banshees to the Catfish Spirit to deal with on their own.
As for whether the catfish essence should be kept for his own use or sent for mining, this has nothing to do with Yang Jian. He only needs the catfish essence to take care of the waters for him.
