Chapter 2327: Servant Zhang Zhou

Niu Yingzi remained behind to explain the matters of West Continent City to the disciples of the Holy Maiden Palace.

Barton Nake only realized upon leaving West Continent City with his servant that this time he would be participating in the Feng Family’s artifact refining competition together with Tang Ming.

Hearing the explanation from the accompanying servant, a strange expression appeared on Barton Nake’s face.

The people of the Feng Family, could they be crazy to be competing with Tang Ming in crafting Immortal Artifacts? He probably hasn’t lost before.

When Barton Nake set off, Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er chose to leave Wanghai City.

Although Bing Jianbo had many words against Tang Ming, he still personally escorted Tang Ming out of the city.

“City Lord Tang Ming, although I am an Immortal Craftsman, surely compared to City Lord Tang Ming, I fall far short, so I will not attend to show my inadequacies.”

Bing Jianbo smiled at Tang Ming and then spoke.

Tang Ming nodded: “Family Head Bing, I still say, West Continent City is in need of people right now, many things require people to do in order to succeed. As City Lord, I’m obliged to recruit people. If the Bing Family chooses West Continent City, I think you will absolutely not regret it; you should really consider it.”

“Hahaha, I will certainly consider it carefully.”

Bing Jianbo gave a fake smile and nodded.

Tang Ming sighed deeply and then said; “Then, I hope one day we can reunite in West Continent City.”

Tang Ming left Wanghai City, Bing Feng, along with a few from the Bing Family, followed Tang Ming. Bing Jianbo looked at the elders behind him, then said; “Integrate the family’s assets. Previously, the Great Elder’s suggestion was excellent, since City Lord Tang Ming can recruit people, then we can also do so. After all, Wanghai City has always been the Bing Family’s domain.”

“Understood, Family Head, I will sincerely go and talk to those small forces.”

The elders, full of vigor, nodded and then spoke.

Yigen and Xue Keke raised a cup of slave’s fresh blood, sipping it carefully, while the slave who had just released essence blood sat trembling not far away, in fear.

Yigen liked this expression from slaves the most, their humbleness, their helplessness, just like an ant. As long as he moved his finger, he could make them vanish from this world.

“The taste is good.”

Yigen licked his lips and looked at the servants beside him.

A few servants stood up and dragged the slave away; that ant now had a chance to live, all just because of a single word from him.

“Young Master.”

An aged voice sounded outside the door, as a humanoid monster walked in.

Its body was human-like, but its head was covered with tentacles and countless eyes.

Yigen and Xue Keke frowned; he disliked this old guy, though he was also from the Slave Clan, he was one of Yigen and Xue Keke’s father’s most trusted people.

This time, to let him step on those lowly Humans from the Taoyuan World, his father ‘painfully’ sent this guy over.

“Ah, it’s Mr. Zhang Zhou. I wonder what brings you here, sir. Didn’t I say that after arriving in the Taoyuan World, all matters are up to you, with no need to consider my feelings?”

Yigen and Xue Keke leaned on the chair, swirling the blood in the cup with his hands, his eyes narrowed, watching Zhang Zhou.

The tentacles on Zhang Zhou’s head were waving as he slightly bowed: “The Young Master and Master trust Zhang Zhou alike, which is Zhang Zhou’s honor, but some matters, after happening, still need to be reported to the Young Master.”

“Hmm. Speak.”

Zhang Zhou’s words pleased Yigen and Xue Keke. This guy, though favored by his father, know to keep his position in check.

Unlike those damned foolish ministers, he is one who can be utilized.

“Previously, the Young Master did not want to leave the body of the Demon Salamander, so I followed your orders and sent vanguards out. The ones who went out were Naim, Barton, and Bernie.”

Zhang Zhou paused here, observing Yigen’s expression. Based on his understanding of Yigen, at this point, Yigen would open his mouth to speak.

Indeed, Yigen straightened his body, a critic of subordinates, he emptied the blood in the cup: “Naim is a talent that can be used, I really like him. Barton is too greedy, but when he comes back, I can probably scavenge off him, finding something I like. As for Bernie, he’s just a fool.”

Bringing up Bernie, Yigen directly smashed the cup in his hand. That guy once intruded into his sleeping chamber when he was with a woman, making him lose interest for the whole night.

From then on, just hearing Bernie’s name would make him fly into a rage.

“Young Master is truly a master of insights. But the news Zhang Zhou brings is not good news. The spiritual imprints I left on them have just completely dissipated.”

Zhang Zhou sighed, slowly lowering his head, not daring to meet Yigen and Xue Keke’s eyes.

Like other natives of the Blood God Plane, the Xue Keke Clan had low fertility, every clansman could provide Blood Ancestor with the power of faith, which, when fed back to the clan, could offer them many benefits.

Although Yigen and his father never collected faith, only relying on clansmen to collect faith, the power given by the Blood Ancestor to their clan offered them many advantages.

Losing three clansmen at once was a significantly important matter for the Xue Keke clan.

“What happened, why did they die, what about their servants?”

Predictably, Yigen Xue Keke erupted in anger, glaring furiously at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou kept his head down, staying silent, showing a look of enduring hardships.

After Yigen’s anger had subsided, Zhang Zhou began to speak; “I have already ordered someone to write a letter to the Family Head, saying that it was my fault for withholding the servants of those three, which led to their demise. I ask the Young Master to spare my life.”

Yigen and Xue Keke were stunned; suddenly realized that when Naim and the others left, it was he who decided to keep the servants back, even when they pleaded, he did not agree to bring them along.

Because Yigen believed servants would cause them to slack off, only without servants would they work hard to develop believers.

“Did I cause their deaths?”

Yigen murmured a phrase and then turned his gaze on Zhang Zhou.

This old guy is indeed smart, if he told my father it was my fault, my father wouldn’t punish me, instead, he’d search for a scapegoat, and this time the most suitable scapegoat is him. At that time, fueled by resentment, I wouldn’t plead for him.

But now, he bears the crime for me, indeed a good dog.
