Chapter 529: I am just a servant, please forgive me
Even behind Dijia's back, the Water Department General temporarily put aside his past grudges and explained the pros and cons to the Immortal Jinting, saying, "Commander, it seems there won't be any accidents this time. We will help the Di Department build a temple. When we return, all matters concerning Xuanzhou will be handed over to the Di Department. This time, Dijia must show his face in front of King Tongyou."
There was a hint of envy in his words. He glanced at the Immortal Jin Ting and said, "But us brothers from the Water Tribe made a wasted trip and gained nothing."
Jin Ting Daxian glanced at him sideways, then slowly turned his head and asked, "Are you blaming me for not giving you the opportunity to perform meritorious service?"
The expectation on the Water General's face turned into red, green and other colors in an instant. His expression kept changing, and he really wanted to rush up and teach Jin Ting Daxian a lesson.
But he couldn't beat Jin Ting Daxian, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, saying with a wry smile, "No, a commander naturally has his own considerations."
Jin Ting Daxian looked at him coldly and said, "I am the commander, I hold the military talisman, and you can only move when I say yes. If I say no, you lie down."
No matter how much the Water General tried to contain himself, he could no longer suppress the anger within him. He argued, "I'm eager to achieve merit, but it's not just for my own benefit. The Celestial Tribe guards Shangfang Mountain and never lacks for food. The Earth Tribe collects incense and is even more prosperous. Only we, the Wind, Water, and Fire Tribes, have to fight external wars, doing the hardest and most exhausting work."
"Now the Wind and Fire tribes are also following the two kings into battle. I wonder how much merit they have achieved and how much reward they will receive. Only we brothers from the Water tribe will follow you and starve..."
With a snap.
Before the Water Department General could finish his words, the Immortal Jin Ting stretched out his hand and slapped him to the ground.
The Water General was filled with shock and anger. He looked at the Immortal Jin Ting and said, "I am the Water General appointed by King Tonghui to command the Water Gods. How dare you bully me like this?"
Jin Ting Daxian rubbed his hands and said, "You talk too much. I just want you to know that if you don't obey, I will kill you."
He squatted in front of the Water General, patted his face, and said, "I know you don't like me and think I'm blocking your position. But I'm new here, and I still have to rely on you to lead the troops in battle."
"You must understand that no matter how high you climb, you are still a servant, but I am not. If you assist me peacefully, I will naturally seek credit for you. But if you disobey, I will kill you and then apologize to King Tonghui. Guess what King Tonghui will do?"
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the General of the Water Department with a smile, and his eyes seemed to turn into two black holes, revealing the shadow of Yue Bei.
The Water General felt that his soul was seized by a strange force, and an evil curse appeared on his body.
He only felt that his soul was suffering from the pain of being burned by fire, but the blood in his body was as cold as black ice.
The fear of death fell on him. He struggled hard, his body twisted, and turned into a dragon. His two short but sharp dragon horns exerted magical power and rushed towards the Immortal Jin Ting.
Suddenly, two tails stretched out from behind the Immortal Jin Ting, one on the left and one on the right, wrapping around his two dragon horns. Fierce magic power poured into the fox tails, trying to bend his dragon horns to the sides.
The Water General cried out in pain, feeling that the dragon's horns were about to be torn off by him.
The Immortal Jin Ting laughed heartily and said, "Don't you know that my mounts are all real dragons? How dare you, a snake-like dragon transformed into a dragon, disrespect me?"
Water currents wrapped around the Water General's body, condensing into a water wheel and smashing towards the Immortal Jin Ting.
The Immortal Jin Ting shook off the Water Department General and threw him to the ground. He stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him, and a bright moon appeared in the circle.
The precious wheel crashed into the bright moon and suddenly turned into splashing water and disappeared without a trace.
The Water General wanted to escape, but he couldn't move.
At some point, his shadow was nailed to the ground by Jin Ting Daxian's tail, and he was completely unable to move.
The Immortal Jin Ting stepped on his back, and he involuntarily changed from a dragon into a human form.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Don't disobey me again. I'm not good at controlling people, and I don't want to play tricks with you. If you don't obey me again, I'll kill you."
"A servant should act like a servant. If you don't understand your place, no matter how high you climb, your life and death will depend on the whims of the great kings, not to mention your status."
The Immortal Jin Ting walked over from his back, and his five tails were pulled up from the ground one by one, releasing the shadow of the Water General.
But every time the tail was pulled out, the attack that fell on the shadow appeared on the Water General. In just a moment, five bloody holes burst out on his body.
The Water General lay on the ground motionless, as if dead.
Jin Ting Daxian knew that he was not dead and would not die.
He was able to transform from a snake or insect into a dragon, and become a general of the water god. He was good at fighting and conquering, which shows his resilience.
This is a monster with a high sense of dignity. The more he is humiliated, the more rebellious he will become.
If he could always climb up, always standing above others, second only to one person and above ten thousand people, then perhaps there would still be hope for him. But unfortunately, as a slave or a subordinate, their life and death were not decided by others from the very beginning.
He has already climbed to the top under Wutongshen. If he goes up any further, he will no longer be a slave, but a master.
Who would allow him to be the master?
Anyway, Wutong Shen won’t do that.
Dijia focused on counting bricks in Wutong Temple, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart. He did not ask about what was happening behind the house, as he just thought he was deaf and could not hear anything.
Jin Ting Daxian glanced at Di Jia and praised: "You are really smart."
Dijia didn't know whether he was praising him or criticizing him, so he could only smile awkwardly and bow to the Immortal Jinting.
Not long after, the Water Department General also walked out from the backyard. There were no holes or bloodstains on his body, and his clothes were intact, but his face was pale.
Dijia glanced at him secretly and then quickly turned his head away.
The general of the Water Department acted as if nothing had happened and took the initiative to apologize to the Immortal Jin Ting, saying, "Commander, I have behaved badly. Please forgive me."
He knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and turned his face to the earth.
Without even looking at him, Jin Ting Daxian said, "That's right, get up."
The Water Department General stood respectfully beside the Immortal Jin Ting without saying another word.
The Immortal Jin Ting smiled with an ambiguous tone and said, "You two stay at the temple. I'll go outside the city and take a look. There's something interesting going on over at the mass grave."
The water general's feet seemed to have taken root and he didn't move.
After Jin Ting Daxian had walked away, Di Jia whispered, "A corpse has appeared in the mass grave."
The Water Department General looked unchanged compared to usual. He asked in surprise, "Corpse? Didn't the monks at Guangjiao Temple hold a seven-day ceremony for the dead?"
Dijia said, "It's not a newly dead body. The mass grave was originally a burial ground, a mass grave. There was a crouching corpse buried there. Now that so many new corpses have been added, the old corpse has been fed with blood and evil spirits, and has transformed into a flying corpse and crawled out."
