Chapter 242: A Lonely Man



After Gonggong confirmed again and again that Qin Xiyao wanted to let him go, he confidently summoned the mountain spirits and monsters that had followed him before.

Ask them if they want to follow you out of the Demon King's Cave.

Among those mountain spirits and wild monsters that followed him, except for the two attendants whose cultivation was slightly higher, most of the others were at the Jindan and Yuanying stages!

After they surrendered to Gonggong, Gonggong only cared about his own enjoyment and did not help them improve their cultivation.

Even though there are piles of elixirs that can improve cultivation in the castle's warehouse, Gonggong is unwilling to give them a single one!

In the Demon King's Cave, Gonggong lived in a palace, but they didn't even have a broken thatched hut to live in!

It's raining, but I still have to be busy in a corner of the Devil's Cave.

For a moment, they regretted joining Gonggong and wanted to leave the Demon King's Cave!

However, the cunning Gonggong had already anticipated that they would leave, so he asked his followers to keep an eye on them.

The followers around him followed Gonggong and lived a life of luxury. Of course, they listened to Gonggong very much and took turns patrolling around the Demon King's Cave all day long. They had no chance to escape!

Qin Xiyao drove Gonggong away from the Demon King's Cave, which was exactly what they wanted!

Only a fool would follow Gonggong and wander around the world!

"Will you stay in the Demon King's Cave, or follow me to venture out into the world?"

When Gonggong saw that the mountain spirits and monsters who had followed him were unwilling to follow him out of the Demon King's Cave, his face instantly turned red and he felt extremely upset.

These mountain elves and wild monsters who used to keep their heads lower than their toes in front of him, now stabbed him in the back when they saw that he had lost his power!

Gonggong's words echoed in the Demon King's Cave. No mountain spirits or wild monsters paid any attention to him. Even the followers who used to follow him around in a domineering manner remained silent.

"You are mountain spirits and monsters! You are aliens! Don't think that if you take refuge with humans, they will treat you well!"

When Gonggong saw that the mountain spirits and monsters were ignoring him, and even his followers ignored him, he began to fan the flames, trying to make the mountain spirits and monsters panic.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"If you want to stay in the Demon King's Cave, I will treat you well. If you want to leave, I will set you free!"

Qin Xiyao frowned slightly. She was originally thinking in her mind how to deal with these mountain spirits and monsters.

Forced by Gonggong, he revealed his trump card!

After getting Qin Xiyao's promise, all the mountain spirits and monsters dispersed and started to busy themselves in their own positions!

Gonggong looked down upon these mountain spirits and monsters from the bottom of his heart, so apart from letting them do menial work, he would not make any use of them!

Except for the two waiters who were good at illusion, all the followers around him were cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.

Cultivators have always regarded mountain spirits and wild monsters as aliens. Therefore, if mountain spirits and wild monsters make mistakes during their work, they will punish them more severely.

Because Gonggong values ​​them, they are very powerful in the Demon King's Cave!

"What about us?"

These Nascent Soul cultivators were also reluctant to follow Gonggong out of the Demon King's Cave!

After all, Gonggong is already a lonely man. If they follow Gonggong out of the Demon King's Cave, not only will they not be able to eat delicious food or drink spicy drinks, they may also have to take care of Gonggong's daily life!

The wild goblins and monsters in the Demon King's Cave, and even the cultivators who did odd jobs in the Demon King's Cave, had all been bullied by them. They were also worried that if they continued to stay in the Demon King's Cave, without Gong Gong's protection, they would be retaliated by the wild goblins and monsters.

"You only have two choices: either follow Gong Gong and leave the Demon King's Cave, or stay in the Demon King's Cave!"

"I won't pursue your past behavior in the Demon King's Cave, but if you continue to behave recklessly, I will not let you off lightly!"

Qin Xiyao didn't want Gonggong's followers who were at the Nascent Soul stage to follow him out of the Demon King's Cave, nor did she want them to do anything wrong in the Demon King's Cave.

Under Gonggong's relentless pressure, she had no choice but to reveal her cards so that they could weigh the pros and cons themselves.

These followers are used to eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks in the Demon King's Cave. How could they be willing to follow Gonggong and wander around the world and suffer?

All they wanted from Qin Xiyao was a promise!

"My Lord! We want to stay in the Demon King's Cave!"

After receiving Qin Xiyao's promise, they immediately severed ties with Gonggong! Calling Gonggong "King" was a way of giving him face!

"You bunch of ungrateful wolves! I've been very kind to you!"

Even his own followers were about to betray him. Gonggong's heart ached instantly. In such a huge demon cave, when he lost power, no one was willing to share the joys and sorrows with him.

"Xiyao! I've treated them well! If they can betray me today, how can they not betray you in the future?"

"This king suggests: these followers cannot be kept!"

Gonggong was unwilling to leave all the followers in the Nascent Soul stage to Qin Xiyao, so he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and instigated Qin Xiyao to kill all these disobedient followers!

The followers of Gonggong never expected that their king would be so cruel and leave them no chance to survive!

"Female Taoist Priest! Since we have decided to stay in the Demon King's Cave, we have no intention of betraying you!"

They were worried that Qin Xiyao would believe Gong Gong's words and kill them all! Therefore, they hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Xiyao.

"I said, you owe me a life, do you admit it?"

Qin Xiyao narrowed her eyes and said.

Qin Xiyao wanted to use these cowardly followers, so she just gave them a dose of strong medicine and scared them so much that they kept kowtowing to her.

"We admit it!"

Qin Xiyao listened to the deafening sound and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"What else do you have to say? They've been with you for so long, simply because they didn't want to wander around the world with you and endure hardships, and you're so cruel as to kill them all?"
