#344 - I want to take you
Left Envoy Leng You looked at Liang Jin, her expression filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Recalling when she initially tried to recruit Liang Jin, only to be recruited by him instead, she had found the idea absurd and laughable.
After all, the Star Demon Sea was at its peak at that time, with the Black Dragon Kingdom as a solid backing, seemingly assured of victory, just waiting to completely destroy the other two major sects and then steadily ascend to the position of overlord of the Western Desert.
However, things are unpredictable.
In the eyes of Tu Xie Wang of the Black Dragon Kingdom, he neither needed the Star Demon Sea to dominate the Western Desert, nor could he tolerate an independent Star Demon Sea.
What Tu Xie Wang plotted was the complete conquest of the Western Desert.
He wanted to eliminate any major sect or force on this land that could compete with him, so that the entire Western Desert would willingly prostrate at his feet.
In the end, Sect Leader Ming Cangwu of the Star Demon Sea perished together with Wuliang Fawang of the Wuliang Mingwang Sect.
And Tu Xie Wang, who could have intervened to save them early on, remained coldly indifferent, allowing the situation to develop.
With the death of the Sect Leader, Right Envoy Hei Jiu also unfortunately died in battle.
Now, in the vast Star Demon Sea, only Left Envoy Leng You remains among the higher echelons.
"Building Master Meng, have you come specifically to see me make a fool of myself?"
Leng You asked helplessly.
In her opinion, Liang Jin's arrival was probably to mock her for her initial lack of judgment.
Liang Jin said with a serious expression:
"I want to take you in."
"I wonder if Left Envoy is willing to join my Azure Clothes House?"
Leng You was greatly surprised to hear this.
Liang Jin was actually extending an olive branch to her again?
Liang Jin continued:
"If you are willing to follow me, you will be one of the left and right deputies of my Azure Clothes House, with authority only below me."
"Mo Daokuang is the right deputy, and you are the left deputy."
"Of course, top experts like Mo Daokuang naturally focus on cultivation on weekdays and rarely interfere in the daily affairs of the sect. Therefore, many matters in the sect will still depend on your painstaking efforts."
"I think this arrangement should not make you feel wronged."
"Moreover, all the people from the Star Demon Sea that you bring will be accepted by my Azure Clothes House."
Leng You's heart stirred.
When she was in the Star Demon Sea, as one of the left and right envoys, she already held a high position and great power.
Now, if she joins the Azure Clothes House, she will still be able to serve as the left and right deputies. In terms of status and power, it is not inferior to being in the Star Demon Sea.
In fact, she could even be on equal footing with Mo Daokuang, which was undoubtedly a great recognition.
What Leng You cared about most was Liang Jin's last sentence.
Liang Jin was willing to accept everyone she brought, which undoubtedly found a way out for the people of the Star Demon Sea.
It should be known that the situation of the Star Demon Sea is completely different from that of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
The Great Snow Mountain Sect has the Great Qian as its backing. Even if it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Western Desert, it can still go to the Great Qian to seek development.
However, the Black Dragon Kingdom, which the Star Demon Sea relied on, has now completely turned against them, and the Star Demon Sea can be said to have no way out.
Moreover, the Star Demon Sea's plan to collude with the Black Dragon Kingdom to try to rule the Western Desert has failed, resulting in its reputation being completely ruined, becoming a rat everyone shouts at.
Even if Leng You has the will, she is powerless to support it alone.
Now, Liang Jin has extended an olive branch to her, willing to protect the people of the Star Demon Sea with the reputation and strength of the Azure Clothes House.
This is undoubtedly a precious opportunity for the Star Demon Sea to find a way out of desperation.
As the Left Envoy of the Star Demon Sea, Leng You naturally cannot watch the sect miss this last chance of survival.
"Building Master Meng..."
"We have had grievances before, and we have even fought."
"You... are you really willing to trust me?"
Leng You looked at Liang Jin with a complicated gaze.
She and Liang Jin had almost become enemies before, and their relationship was not very harmonious.
This is completely different from the situation between Lu Yingrong and Liang Jin.
Liang Jin laughed and said loudly:
"If I, Meng Xinghun, don't even have the capacity to tolerate people, how would I have the courage to want to take in you, Left Envoy?"
"You only need to be as loyal to me as you were to Ming Cangwu, and I will definitely trust you as you trust me."
Leng You knew in her heart that after tonight, she and the Star Demon Sea would no longer have such an opportunity.
Moreover, she had always been optimistic about Liang Jin, believing that his future was limitless.
And tonight's battle made her see that Liang Jin's potential far exceeded her expectations.
In particular, Liang Jin is willing to value her and give her trust, which is the most important point.
Joining Liang Jin can not only seek development for herself, but also find a way out for the disciples of the Star Demon Sea. She really does not want to see the brothers of the sect suffer the liquidation of the various sects in the Western Desert and die.
She also knows that Liang Jin is by no means a kind person.
If she is not sensible.
If the Star Demon Sea is not sensible.
I am afraid that Liang Jin will definitely take advantage of the Star Demon Sea becoming a public enemy in the Western Desert to force them to be "sensible".
Rather than being forcibly and violently conquered by Liang Jin at that time, it is better to take the initiative to choose to obey now.
After weighing the pros and cons, Leng You no longer hesitated.
Immediately, she knelt down respectfully and said solemnly:
"Sinful slave Leng You is willing to swear allegiance to Meng Xinghun!"
"With the Star Sea as a mirror, I will die without regret and never change my mind!"
"I beg Building Master Meng to have mercy and accept sinful slave Leng You."
After saying that, Leng You bent down and gently kissed Liang Jin's shoe with her delicate and full red lips.
This is the traditional ritual of the Star Demon Sea to show allegiance.
Liang Jin looked at her with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Mi Qianmeng on the side:
"Qianmeng, your mother has already decided to follow me, what about you?"
Mi Qianmeng twisted her delicate body and said coquettishly:
"You don't know that I am lazy by nature, I just like to eat and drink, and I don't like to work."
"If you don't mind raising me as a rice worm, then I naturally have no problem."
Mi Qianmeng didn't actually care which sect she was in, as long as she could be with her mother.
Liang Jin laughed:
"It's just raising someone, I can afford it."
Upon hearing this, Mi Qianmeng no longer hesitated:
"Alright, I'll follow you from now on."
"As long as you keep taking care of us, my mother and I will always follow you."
As she spoke, she slowly knelt before Liang Jin and kissed his other shoe with her moist, cherry-like lips.
Liang Jin looked at the mother and daughter kneeling and kissing his shoes, and his heart was filled with emotions.
Obtaining this mother and daughter meant he had obtained the Star Demon Sea.
Although the martial arts of the Star Demon Sea sect were not outstanding, the many methods and secret techniques they possessed had left a deep impression on Liang Jin.
Immediately, Liang Jin bent down, reached out his hand, and gently helped the mother and daughter up.
Leng You acted decisively.
She immediately turned around, faced the crowd of the Star Demon Sea, and said loudly:
"I, Leng You, have joined楼主 Meng's command and will no longer be the Left Demon Envoy of the Star Demon Sea."
"Now that the Star Demon Sea's power has waned and destruction is imminent."
"If any brothers in the sect are willing to follow 楼主 Meng with me, I, Leng You, will definitely not abandon them."
The disciples of the Star Demon Sea looked at each other upon hearing this.
They knew in their hearts that now that the Star Demon Sea's leader and Right Demon Envoy were both dead, and the Left Demon Envoy had chosen to leave, the Star Demon Sea truly had no future.
They understood even more that if they missed this opportunity, after the people from the Azure Clothes Tower left, everyone present would be besieged by various factions.
The newest novels are first published on the 6_9_shu_ba!
And now that the Left Demon Envoy had been highly valued by the Azure Clothes Tower, if they joined the Azure Clothes Tower, they would have a solid backer and would not have to worry about being bullied or ostracized.
Thus, a large number of Star Demon Sea disciples made their decision:
"We sinners are willing to listen to the command of the Left Demon Envoy!"
"We sinners are willing to submit to the Azure Clothes Tower and be loyal to 楼主 Meng!"
"Sinners beg 楼主 Meng to take us in!"
More than 90% of the Star Demon Sea disciples present knelt on the ground.
Among them, the Four Guardians and Twelve Star Lords also chose to submit.
For a time, a large group of people knelt down.
Knowing that they were not qualified to kiss Liang Jin's shoes, they could only express their loyalty by kissing the ground.
Seeing this, Liang Jin laughed loudly:
"Please rise, everyone!"
"Since everyone is willing to believe in me, Meng Xinghun, I, Meng Xinghun, will definitely not mistreat you!"
Everyone shouted in unison:
"Thank you, 楼主!"
After saying that, they all stood up.
Just then.
A foreign monk came to Liang Jin and bowed:
"Benefactor Meng, my sect's Wrathful King Niu has invited you to come over."
Hearing this, Liang Jin looked in the direction the foreign monk was pointing.
He saw Wrathful King Niu lying in a pool of blood, his breath weak. Although he was dying, he still had a trace of life left.
Xiong Xiang was holding Wrathful King Niu, his face full of grief.
On the side, Wrathful King Ma was leading a group of disciples in chanting scriptures while sitting cross-legged.
There had been rumors before that there was infighting within the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect.
And at the crucial moment when Wrathful King Niu was fighting with Immeasurable Dharma King, they suddenly joined forces to kill Ming Cangwu.
This made everyone realize that the so-called infighting of the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect was just a show deliberately put on for the Star Demon Sea to see.
However, Liang Jin sensed that things were not so simple.
When Wrathful King Niu fought desperately with Huyan Xian, he created an opportunity for Leng You.
But Wrathful King Ma actually stood by and watched.
This caused Wrathful King Niu, who was already seriously injured, to suffer a fatal blow, and now he was on his last breath.
In this way, the internal strife was probably not groundless.
After this battle.
The Great Snow Mountain Sect was almost wiped out.
The Star Demon Sea was discredited and could only seek refuge with the Azure Clothes Tower.
In comparison, the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect suffered the least losses.
Although they not only lost the Immeasurable Dharma King, but now they were about to lose Wrathful King Niu, who was the most likely to inherit the position of Dharma King.
However, among the five great Wrathful Kings in the sect, there were still three survivors, and the power under the Wrathful Kings had basically not suffered much loss.
In the future, it was not impossible for the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect to rise again in the Western Desert.
Liang Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had already made up his mind to control the entire Western Desert!
Therefore, he would naturally not allow the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect to grow stronger again in the future.
What's more, he had sworn to kill all slave owners.
This made him and the large group of monks and slave owners like the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect naturally opposed.
And the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect could not collectively join Liang Jin like the Star Demon Sea.
Both sects existed in the form of a semi-religious sect, but they were very different.
The Star Demon Sea was a cult of personality. Once the leader died, the faith of the believers collapsed, making it easier to change their allegiance.
The Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect believed in Buddhism. The death of a Dharma King would not affect their faith and cohesion.
And Liang Jin and the Azure Clothes Tower could not protect their interests.
Therefore.
For the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect, it could only be completely eliminated.
But Liang Jin also knew in his heart that now was not the time to attack the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect.
In this battle against the Star Demon Sea and the Evil Slaughtering King, the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect also made contributions and paid a heavy price.
Attacking them at this time would seriously damage the prestige and reputation he had worked so hard to establish.
Liang Jin's primary task at the moment was to first integrate internally and consolidate his own power.
Relying on the prestige and reputation he had established in the Western Desert, he would seize the major territories of the Western Desert as soon as possible.
After that, it would be time to compete with the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect.
The Azure Clothes Tower was developing rapidly.
And the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect was severely damaged and would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Time was on Liang Jin's side.
Immediately, Liang Jin strode towards the direction where the Immeasurable Wrathful King Sect was.
The foreign monk led the way in front, leading him to Wrathful King Niu and Xiong Xiang.
At this time, Wrathful King Niu was lying in Xiong Xiang's arms, his breath weak.
He raised his head slightly, and after seeing Liang Jin, he said weakly:
"Benefactor Meng... This monk... requests that you... take in Xiong Xiang."
Liang Jin was silent.
He looked at the scriptures on Wrathful King Niu's body, but found that large areas of skin had been deliberately torn.
This caused the 《Mahākāla Dharma Protector Skill》 tattooed on him to be incomplete and uneven, and it was... worthless.
