"Is there anything else?" Xiao Lingyu asked as he stood still.
"Not only did you not kill us, but you even taught us how to rob. You repay evil with good. It is truly admirable. Please accept our respect!" The bandit leader said as he bowed to Xiao Lingyu with the rest of the bandits.
"Actually, I have many good ideas. I'm just afraid that if I say too much, it will confuse you," Xiao Lingyu said as he waved his hand.
"What other ideas do you have? Can you give us some pointers?" the bandit leader asked curiously.
"Haha, it's good enough that I can tell you this much. Take it as my reward for drinking your Roaming Dragon's Chant. Don't be too greedy. I have no obligation to give you pointers. Furthermore, you won't be able to chew it all up if you're greedy, "Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
After thinking for a while, the bandit leader knelt on the ground. Although the other bandits didn't know why, they all knelt down as well.
Xiao Lingyu only glanced at them indifferently. He didn't ask them to get up. This was the effect he wanted.
"Sir, if you can give us some pointers, we will repay you with our lives!" the bandit leader said loudly.
"Repay you with our lives!" many bandits echoed.
Xiao Lingyu's eyes revealed a satisfied look. He said, "If you really treat me wholeheartedly, I can help you grow stronger quickly."
The bandit leader hesitated for a while, but he made up his mind and said, "We are willing to swear on our souls that we will be loyal to you for all eternity!"
"That's one way," Xiao Lingyu said noncommittally.
After hearing Xiao Lingyu's words, all the bandits in the cave began to swear under the leadership of their leader.
For these bandits, who didn't know if there would be a tomorrow after today, Xiao Lingyu's appearance and words brought them hope, allowing them to see the dawn. This was an irresistible temptation to the bandits. After all, no one wanted to live a precarious life, no one wanted to die, and everyone wanted their cultivation to be more stable.
Xiao Lingyu's pointers just now were only a few words. These bandits couldn't understand the key points in a short time, so they wanted more pointers. They also wanted to rely on Xiao Lingyu. After all, they had all seen Xiao Lingyu's strength. He was definitely much stronger than them. It wasn't embarrassing to follow such an expert.
Xiao Lingyu calmly accepted the bandits' oath of loyalty because he needed manpower. He wanted to establish a foothold in the Devil World. It was too tiring and dangerous to rely on himself. His experience in the Cultivation World also told him that having more people might not be useful, but it was definitely better than having fewer people.
Moreover, Xiao Lingyu also needed to gather some magic stones for himself to make sufficient preparations for his future cultivation. If he went to find magic stones by himself, not only would it take too much time, it would also be very dangerous.
Xiao Lingyu had the intention of making use of these bandits, but these bandits would also benefit. This was actually a win-win situation.
"Since you are so sincere, I might as well say more."
Xiao Lingyu sat down again and began to pour out all his ideas. It was nothing more than some business skills that he learned on Earth, but to these bandits, it was invaluable advice.
After a full four hours, Xiao Lingyu stood up again and said, "Think about what I just said, then go out and give it a try. I will find time to come and take a look."
After saying this, Xiao Lingyu left under the gazes of the bandits and flew towards Mengming City.
This time, it should be effortless for him to gather more than 30 Earth Demon Late Stage subordinates. If these bandits were smart enough and could understand Xiao Lingyu's meaning, it wouldn't be long before they grew stronger and formed an alliance with other bandit groups. Of course, if they weren't smart enough, it was very likely that they would be wiped out very quickly. What Xiao Lingyu needed were smart and capable subordinates, not mediocre people.
Two days later, Xiao Lingyu arrived at the gate of Mengming City. He only glanced at the towering city walls before following the crowd into the city.
The cities of the Demon Realm were the same as many cities of the Cultivation Realm. If you wanted to enter, you had to pay an entrance fee. However, it was only two low-grade devil stones, which Xiao Lingyu could still afford.
Before Xiao Lingyu ascended to the Devil World, he left a large portion of his collection of immortal stones in the Shuntian Academy. But at the same time, the Sky Alliance also gave him some devil stones so that he wouldn't be so poor when he ascended to the Devil World.
Mengming City was relatively prosperous. However, it was different from other cities. Although the buildings here were also grand and imposing, they didn't pay much attention to appearance. Most of them looked like they were piled up with stones and didn't have the slightest bit of beauty.
The cultivators of the Demon Realm had always done as they pleased in all aspects and didn't want to waste time.
Xiao Lingyu didn't come to Mengming City for anything important. He just wanted to buy a few jade slips about the Demon Realm and see if he could find some information about the space between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm.
Going to the Immortal Realm was a mission that Xiao Lingyu had to complete. However, this mission was very dangerous, so he had to prepare early.
There were many shops that sold jade slips in Mengming City. Whenever Xiao Lingyu came across one, he would go in and take a look. The number of jade slips he collected increased.
Every time he left a shop, he would continue to look for other shops while scanning the jade slips with his mind. His brows gradually furrowed.
Through the information in the jade slips, Xiao Lingyu knew that the Blood Moon Continent he was currently in was in the northwest of the Demon Realm. The space between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm would only appear in the east of the Demon Realm because the space barrier between the two realms was there.
In other words, if Xiao Lingyu wanted to go to the Immortal Realm, he had to go to the east of the Demon Realm first.
However, the Demon Realm was vast and boundless. Even if one could continuously teleport from the Blood Moon Continent to the east of the Demon Realm, it would take a very long time. It was said that it would take at least a few thousand years.
Xiao Lingyu didn't have the ability to use the teleportation array without waiting in line like he did in the Cultivation World. Therefore, the teleportation time would be many times longer. Moreover, the teleportation cost was also not small.
Most importantly, even if one was teleported there, they might not be qualified to enter.
In that independent space, there were a lot of resources. For the Demon Realm, which was relatively poor in resources, entering that independent space would undoubtedly allow one to obtain a lot of supplies. Of course, one could also obtain benefits by killing the cultivators of the Immortal Realm.
In the same realm, cultivators of the Demon Realm were often stronger than cultivators of the Immortal Realm. Therefore, every time those independent spaces opened, the battle between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm in the connecting space between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm was mostly won by the Demon Realm.
Since there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Great Clans of the Devil World naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. They would send their most powerful disciples below the Profound Devil Realm into the battlefield. And in the same connected space, only ten thousand people could enter. Those who weren't very strong and didn't have a strong background could forget about obtaining a quota.
10,000 people seemed to be a lot, but for the vast Demon Realm, it was too little. The cultivators who could enter were all top experts in the Spirit Demon Realm.
This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of going to the Immortal Realm for Xiao Lingyu. Therefore, his expression was very heavy and his thoughts were a little erratic.
"Get out of the way!"
Just as he was deep in thought, a loud shout was heard.
Xiao Lingyu came back to his senses and looked to the front. He saw a very tall magical beast that looked like a horse. It was pulling an iron cage and driving over at a leisurely pace.
On the back of the demonic beast sat a middle-aged burly man with a malicious face. In the iron cage, there were more than 20 cultivators in ragged clothes who looked like beggars.
There were obviously runes flowing on the iron bars of the iron cage. It should be very sturdy.
"Prisoners?" This word instantly appeared in Xiao Lingyu's mind.
"Save me! Save us … "
The cultivators in the cage all had miserable expressions and were all calling for help from passersby.
However, this was the Demon Realm, and the city was full of demonic cultivators. Most of them were indifferent and ignored the people in the cage. Some even laughed in disdain.
Outside the cage, there were a few cultivators who were dressed similarly to the burly man. They waved the high-quality leather whips in their hands and lashed at the cultivators who were calling for help. They constantly cursed and scolded.
"Looks like class oppression is really everywhere." Xiao Lingyu sighed in his heart. Although he sympathized with these cultivators, he didn't have any intention of helping.
In the Demon Realm, it was difficult for everyone to protect themselves. How could they spare the energy to care about the life and death of others?
"Save me!"
Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to stride away, he heard a very clear and childish voice in his ears.
Someone was transmitting a message to him, and it was a child.
Xiao Lingyu was surprised. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little boy in the cage looking at him expectantly.
"He can actually transmit a message to me." Xiao Lingyu muttered to himself.
"Why should I save you? Saving you will definitely cause a lot of trouble. There are so many people here. Why did you choose me?" Xiao Lingyu stopped in his tracks. His lips moved a few times as he transmitted a message back.
"Because along the way, you are the only one who sympathizes with us. If you save me, I can give you unimaginable benefits. I definitely won't let you save me for nothing." The boy looked immature, but his words were not bad.
"Haha, you should find someone else." Xiao Lingyu laughed and turned to leave after transmitting a message.
Xiao Lingyu was not that bold to make a move in the city. The city guards in the city could easily kill him ten thousand times over, unless he could instantly disappear after making a move.
"You've wasted a great opportunity. I feel sorry for you."
The boy's voice sounded again, but Xiao Lingyu was unmoved. He continued to stride away.
However, he had only walked less than a hundred feet when he heard a loud shout. Then, there was an explosion, and the nearby buildings trembled at the same time.
Xiao Lingyu turned around and saw a cultivator wrapped in a hazy demonic aura. He couldn't see his appearance clearly. He swung a broadsword at the cage.
