“This is… that Jing Qi!” Lou Hong recognized the person.

“He was the one who stole it.” The wolf monarch continued. “We couldn’t find him at Green Robes Sect, and we only knew afterwards that this kid was saved by Honesty Sect. That’s why we…” Had they known that there was a Soul Formation cultivator, and a sword cultivator besides, he would absolutely never have come.

Lonemoon frowned. He had actually more or less guessed that this matter may be related to that intruder, but he didn’t imagine that it was actually him. No wonder so many demons appeared first at that village, and then at Green Robes Sect, and now at Honesty Sect. Jing Qi was the one they were after.

Yet even though Jing Qi knew that he was the one who attracted those demons, why had he never mentioned it? And he didn’t look guilty at all during the whole discussion, but remained in an utterly justified manner. This wouldn’t seem right if it was any other child, and he was no ordinary child.

Lou Hong’s face darkened too. He turned and commanded, “Go to the back mountain and bring the one named Jing Qi.”

“Yes!” A disciple turned and flew off immediately.

The wolf monarch’s eyes brightened with hope.

But Lonemoon didn’t intend to let him go so easily. “Even though you have a reason, just because you killed off the whole Green Robes Sect and ate so many people, I cannot let you go!”

The wolf withered down again and shook even more severely. A Dharma spell was just going to be formed.

“Supremacy, wait!” Lou Hong seemed to have thought of something, and he said, “This wolf monarch had sinned greatly, and our Honesty Sect just happened to lack a mountain-protecting beast. How about we make it stay at the mountain gate for life, as redemption for his sins?”

The wolf monarch nodded violently, “I’m willing! I’m willing! Supremacy, please spare my life. I like protecting gates best, I like it very much. Woof woof!

Lonemoon, “…”

Lou Hong, “…”

Why are you woofing, did you think of yourself as a dog?

“Since the sect master says so, so be it.” Lonemoon made a hand seal, and his finger pointed towards the center of the wolf’s brows, directly dragging out a piece of his Divine Perception and heart blood. He turned to look at Lou Hong. “Give me your hand!”

Lou Hong reached out a hand subconsciously. Lonemoon directly turned his hands towards the hand. Instantly, a blood-colored wolf head symbol appeared on Lou Hong’s wrist.

“This is… a blood contract?!”

“Hmm!” Lonemoon nodded. “Should he disobey, or still dare to eat humans in the future, you can directly activate this seal to kill him. Demons, unlike demon beasts, cannot be contracted, so this is the safest method.”

The wolf monarch’s head bowed down even lower, as he hurried to promise, “I don’t dare, don’t dare!” With that said, he immediately clawed onto the stone platform at the mountain gate and sat down with his back claws on the ground. The huge tail behind him shook in a eager manner, as if he had completely forgotten that he was originally a Demon Monarch.

Lonemoon, “…”

Lou Hong, “…”

Everyone: “…”

Hmm, he was fairly… sensible.

“Only those few small demons are left. They have no blood in their body, they probably have never hurt humans. Deal with them as you wish!” Lonemoon said. He suddenly thought of something, “Oh yeah! Those dead bodies, after taking the demon cores out of them, clean them up and send them to Invincible Peak to Shen Ying. Although they are a bit chopped up, they should still be edible!”

“Eat… eat?” Did they hear it wrong?

“Hmm.” Lonemoon glanced at the small demons left and the wolf monarch, as he said word by word, “Don’t they like to eat humans? I will let them know the fear of those on top of the food chain.”
