Jun Changxiao had originally planned to fight Gongsun Hou one-on-one, but when the other suddenly rushed over and grabbed his wrist, giving him no chance to react, he realized the gap between them was truly too large.
His ability to fight Liu Sinan to a standstill stemmed from the enhancement of the Difficult to Receive Blade.
Without that trump card, even though Dog Sheng now had strength comparable to a lower-level Truth Seeking Realm cultivator, it would be difficult to contend with a middle-level Truth Seeking Realm expert.
Forget it.
Better use the old method—make him fight eight opponents alone.
The Ghost Eight Generals deployed collectively again, like emotionless killers, or transforming into muscular brutes, surrounding Gongsun Hou and using fists and feet together, quickly beating him until his face was black and blue.
“…”
Liu Sinan was stunned.
Undeniably, the eight Ghost Generals were formidable.
However, during the brutal beating process, not only did that guy not fight back, he even lay on the ground with his swollen face still squeezing out a smile, looking as if being severely beaten made him very comfortable!
This completely didn’t match his impulsive and hot-tempered personality!
“Ha… Haha…”
Gongsun Hou laughed with difficulty, laughing very happily.
“Is this guy sick?”
“Getting beaten so miserably and still laughing?”
The disciples whispered among themselves.
This was the first time they’d seen such a strange person who could laugh so happily while being severely beaten.
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao felt this guy was mocking him, so he said coldly: “Keep beating him!”
“Bang bang bang!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Various big feet fell like crazy.
Before long, Gongsun Hou lay paralyzed on the ground like rotten mud, beaten unconscious, but that face his parents wouldn’t recognize still wore a smile.
“Could this guy, like the Spirit Communication Cat, have some special masochistic attribute?” Jun Changxiao muttered to himself.
“Someone!”
“Throw him in the prison!”
Since he came to my Eternal Sect with the intent to cause trouble and knocked out Du Nan, He Wudi, and others, regardless of his identity or friendship with Liu Sinan, he must be locked up.
Unless… he pays compensation!
“Xiao Mo, search him!”
“Yes!”
Su Xiaomo ran over swiftly, patting him down thoroughly, then shook her head: “Sect Master, this guy doesn’t have a spatial ring on him!”
“Damn!”
Jun Changxiao cursed: “Poor bastard!”
…
“Creak!”
The door opened, and Gongsun Hou was thrown into the Spirit Beast Hall’s prison.
Having been beaten severely, Jun Changxiao’s anger had weakened considerably. Otherwise, he’d definitely send him to the Tianyuan Prison Tower to be handled by the Prison Trio.
Wanshou Demon King locked the door and said coldly: “Daring to cause trouble at my Eternal Sect—an old man hanging himself, tired of living!”
Ah Zi needed to undergo the Mountain of Blades and Sea of Fire for eighty-one days, so Jun Changxiao temporarily had him manage the Spirit Beast Hall’s internal affairs.
Of course.
He still had to do his toilet-cleaning work, because it was arranged by the Hall Master before leaving.
Although Wanshou Demon King had joined recently, he already treated the Eternal Sect as home—after all, there was his former benefactor here, and also… delicious meals.
Beast clans will never be enslaved, unless provided food and shelter.
“Sect Master.”
In the great hall, Liu Sinan said worriedly: “Gongsun Hou has a hot temper. He’ll be hard to control locked in prison—better throw him into some desolate wilderness.”
“Hmph.”
Jun Changxiao’s anger hadn’t subsided as he said coldly: “He beat up this seat’s people. How can I let this go without compensation!”
Given that he was a Demon Exterminator who eliminated evil and upheld righteousness, Dog Sheng wouldn’t harm Gongsun Hou, but since he did wrong, he must be punished.
“As far as I know.”
Liu Sinan said: “This guy loves gambling and loses every time. He probably doesn’t have a single bit of savings.”
“Even better.”
Jun Changxiao said indifferently: “If he can’t pay, he’ll work odd jobs at the Eternal Sect to repay the debt.”
At this stage of the sect’s development, they weren’t that short on money. If Gongsun Hou couldn’t repay, forcing him to stay would also be good.
“Making him do odd jobs will be even harder.”
Liu Sinan understood this old friend well—not only was his temperament impulsive, but he also cared about face. Making him stay and do odd jobs at the sect would be more painful than directly giving him a knife.
“Don’t worry.”
Jun Changxiao smiled wickedly, confidently: “Anyone who falls into this seat’s hands, no matter how iron-boned, cannot escape a certain law!”
…
“Creak.”
The next day, the prison opened.
Xiao Zuiji walked in first and skillfully set up a chair.
Jun Changxiao sat down and waved his hand lightly.
Su Xiaomo swiftly came forward, binding the unconscious Gongsun Hou with iron chains, then directly hoisting him up.
“Splash!”
Cold water poured over his head, stimulating his consciousness.
Gongsun Hou groggily opened his eyes.
When yesterday’s scenes returned to his mind, when Jun Changxiao’s appearance entered his vision, an excited expression once again appeared on his face.
“Young…”
“Young my ass, beat him again!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Su Xiaomo wrapped the chains around her fists and launched a combo attack on Gongsun Hou, beating his face into a grimace, then… his head tilted and he fainted again.
“Splash!”
Cold water was poured again.
This time, taking advantage of the moment he just woke up, Jun Changxiao spoke first: “You don’t need to talk, just listen.”
“…”
Gongsun Hou kept his mouth tightly shut, his eyes still flickering with excitement.
Su Xiaomo and Xiao Zuiji were speechless—this guy definitely had a strange ailment where he felt uncomfortable if not abused!
“You injured two of my sect’s disciples and one high-ranking member. You need to pay the corresponding medical fees.” Jun Changxiao said: “If you have no objection, nod. If you object, shake your head.”
Gongsun Hou nodded.
Liu Sinan, standing outside the prison, immediately widened his eyes.
This guy actually agreed to pay medical fees? Simply inconceivable!
Jun Changxiao was also surprised.
He’d originally thought this was a tough character, but hadn’t expected him to be so cowardly.
“If you have money, nod. If not, shake your head.”
Gongsun Hou shook his head.
Jun Changxiao interlaced his ten fingers with a serious expression: “Since you can’t pay the medical fees, you’ll stay at my Eternal Sect doing odd jobs to repay the debt. Agree, nod. Disagree, shake your head.”
“With that guy’s personality, he’d never agree.”
Just as Liu Sinan was thinking this to himself, Gongsun Hou nodded with difficulty, leaving him instantly dumbstruck.
Big brother!
You’re way too cowardly!
Disappointment gradually appeared on Jun Changxiao’s face.
He naturally hoped to recruit this powerful Demon Exterminator, but surrendering after just two beatings showed absolutely no backbone.
Today he can be cowardly toward me.
Tomorrow he’ll be cowardly toward others too.
“How about this.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Hand over your soul essence.”
Gongsun Hou surrendered too quickly, making Dog Sheng look down on him, so he didn’t plan to take him into the sect. Instead, he chose to forcibly control him and purely use him as a servant.
Liu Sinan frowned.
Handing over one’s soul essence was tantamount to having one’s life and death controlled by another. Any martial artist would find it difficult to accept—that guy would definitely be furious…
What the hell!
Why is he nodding again!
Seeing Gongsun Hou nod up and down without hesitation, Jun Changxiao’s facial expression also froze.
He’d played the game of making martial artists hand over their soul essence many times and was quite skilled at it, but the parties involved all went through difficult consideration or were threatened even more severely before compromising.
In contrast, this guy!
After just getting punched by Su Xiaomo, he directly obeyed every command—he was cowardly to the point of having an attitude about it!
Or could it be that I, Jun Changxiao, have finally awakened the legendary Aura of a King, where the strong willingly submit upon seeing me, and beauties willingly throw themselves at me?
