Chapter 2591: Shame
I couldn't postpone it, but the matter of swornship really made me feel a heavy responsibility, so I could only focus on persuasion first. However, Lu Ge and the Demon King were also a little drunk and even said that they would be sworn in everything. I was quite helpless and could only set up a table of incense with them.
But when he was about to become a sworn brother, the demon king seemed to have sobered up. He waved his hand and said he would not bow down, allowing the slightly drunk Lu Ge to persuade him. He would not bow down until he could.
I was very curious and asked immediately: "I said Gu Rong, you have always been the only one. Can't this be like this this time? Could it be because of the injury before?"
When the demon king Gu Rong heard this, he immediately sighed: "Oh, I was sobered up just now. Now that I am sober, I suddenly remembered the old things that happened back then. I no longer have the intention of becoming a sworn person. Let's do things. Let's rely on interests. Let's just let go of other brotherly friendship?"
"This..." Lu Ge was also a little depressed. After a while of persuasion, he woke up most of himself. Now he doesn't want to worship him anymore. It's not good for him to force him. After a while, he said, "Brother Gu Rong, you should tell me, what happened before?"
"My people and I have the ancient veins of "天", so we are born with an advantage over other monsters in absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. That is, my father was also a famous demon king back then. Later, the territory of the four major sects eroded our territory more and more. One day he also besieged and died, causing a large area of demons to be unified again. The demons in this area were rampant and fought for their own battles. At that time, I hid in this place with a group of people and lived in this area for a long time." Gu Rong was mentioned as sad and began to talk about the past.
"So that's it. Did the demon clan have been a unified force here before?" I asked immediately.
"Yes, after everyone was dispersed, they each had their own territory, but they could no longer stop the immortals from entering our territory. I didn't have much impression of what happened before. Because when my father died, I was still young and my mother raised me, right in this cave." Gu Rong's memories were long and he actually started with the history of development here.
"After my mother died, I took over the entire clan. Although I did not have the strength to unify this area, relatively no clan dared to attack us. Gradually, I forgot my mother's instructions and kept me away from you immortals..." Gu Rong said, shook his head: "I wouldn't have saved him if I had known. This guy is ungrateful and has now become the head of the sect..."
"Ah?" Lu Ge and I were surprised by each other, and Gu Rong continued, "He was seriously injured back then, and I kindly saved him. After he returned, he began to come to me frequently and asked me to help them collect various fairy grasses and some precious ores. He exchanged them with some things we didn't have. Because fairy grasses and ores are not of much use to our tribe, we helped them find them with the idea of bartering, and even led him to the destination. Every time, he gained a lot, and often we didn't ask for a reward, so we got very little, but at that time, I regarded him as a brother!"
"It's so too much!" Lu Ge said depressedly.
Gu Rong quickly sneered: "Haha, it's still too much. After many years, because he got a lot of useful things from me, he exchanged for enough resources and gained the trust of the sect, his cultivation level was getting higher and higher, and we also got the edge of the energy covered by the energy he promised. They also promised not to let the disciples attack my clan..."
"This is what you deserve. What is this sect called? I have been walking in this area for many years, but why have I never heard of it?" Lu Ge asked curiously.
"You probably haven't grown up at that time! Besides, we have to keep secrets in doing this. Otherwise, if other sects know about it, wouldn't there be many more things?" Gu Rong said.
"Yes, such shameful things are really hard to say..." Lu Ge said.
"Yes. Later, I looked back and thought, it was indeed too much back then. I led my tribe and almost walked into the abyss of destruction... We originally thought that after he became the head, good days would continue. But what caught us off guard was that after he took office, he rarely appeared in front of us. However, the small sects under his jurisdiction kept driving us to pay a certain amount of fairy grass and what they wanted every other season, as they lived around them for a temporary residence and were protected by their expenses. We had a fight at first, but the number was reduced by half, so we could only barely agree. But who knew that after they communicated and asked us to do this, secretly, I didn't know how to collect three tribes to help them collect fairy grass in the deep forest. Although our tribe was huge at that time, what if several companies compete?" Gu Rong said bitterly.
"A few companies compete, even if the amount you want to pay is reduced by half, I'm afraid the materials you have to collect will not be so easy to collect." Lu Ge knows the tricks best because he himself takes this path.
"Yes, when they modified the contract, they had already communicated with the tribes that were jealous of our good treatment, allowing them to compete with us, but we were still ignorant. Until we found that many parts of the tribe that could be picked were gone, we suddenly realized that at that time, the children of the tribe were exhausted and could no longer complete these materials in the first season." Gu Rong said angrily.
"What did they say at that time?" Lu Ge was very curious.
"Hmph, in the face of the doubt, they only said that it was the work of other sects. At first, they didn't know that the guy came, and told us that this was the arrangement of the sect. I was still caring about brotherhood at that time. After he reduced half of the resources, I didn't say anything, but who knew that after the next few seasons, things became increasingly difficult to find. Under the competition, it even triggered a war between our tribe. After several times, I and several demon kings became mortal enemies! But there was no way, for perhaps a large number of
Vital energy... Our clan is going to continue. Look at my cultivation level, because of the vitality of their sect. We have reached this state so quickly, so we also have a glimmer of hope and feel that it would be better to endure for a few more seasons. But their Danyun Sect not only ignored the war between our clans, but only saw that we could not hand over the resources they wanted. Then we began to expel us. If we stayed there, we would even kill us!" Gu Rong's hideous giant eyes were blazing with fierce light like a blazing flame.
"Danyun Sect? Then why did you get here later?" Although I guessed the result, I finally let the person involved say it out better.
"Later they really came to expel us. Just when we were discussing returning to our place, they took advantage of the night to siege and annihilate our tribe, including him! His reason is very simple. He said that we can't protect us for nothing. It takes a lot of materials to prepare. I was so angry that he didn't expect that I had saved him back then? When I helped him find the materials, how many seasons could I give him?" Gu Rong was furious, and the huge half-demon hand hit the ground, cracking the floor, which showed his anger.
"I really didn't expect that turning against each other is faster than turning over a book." I sighed, and Lu Ge was already gritting his teeth and said angrily: "Who is this guy? He is so shameless?"
"Zhao Ji! I will never forget that you almost killed me. If it weren't for you, my brothers and sisters wouldn't have died to protect me!" Gu Rong roared angrily, as if the world was shocked by him!
I silently twisted the name, and Lu Ge was already inexplicably surprised and said, "Zhao Ji, is it Zhao Ji from the second-level sect of Danyun Sect?"
"Not bad! I've been seriously injured for many years and can only hide here with the remaining tribes, but he firmly sits in the position of head! Haha, it's so ironic!" Gu Rong Youyou sneered.
