Chapter 379: He Lied To Us! (1)
Su Jingxing paused and said in a low voice, “But, the condition has to be changed!
“I don’t need all the Winged Ones to serve me. You alone will do.
“And it doesn’t have to be a hundred years. 30 years will do.
“How’s that?”
Su Jingxing looked at Sha Lou with a smile.
The latter’s eyes flashed, and he nodded. “Of course, no problem. Sha Lou greets my Lord!”
With that, he knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Su Jingxing.
Then, without another word, he began to swear an oath.
An oath between a ruler and his subject made with the mind as the foundation and the soul as the guide.
This was not an oath between master and servant.
The latter allowed the master to decide the fate.
An oath between a ruler and his subject gave the ruler the ability to apply many restrictions on them, but he did not have the right to kill at will.
This was different from that with true emperors and ministers.
In ancient times, the emperors could kill the ministers at will, and the ministers could also revolt and kill the emperors.
With this oath, Su Jingxing could not kill Sha Lou, but he could punish him.

As for not wanting the entire Winged Ones and only Sha Lou, it was because Su Jingxing had seen through Sha Lou’s little schemes.
The “entire Winged Ones” that Sha Lou mentioned was just the team that was trapped in this forbidden area and could not leave.
They were not the real Winged Ones at all.
He didn’t know if the real Winged Ones existed on Earth Star, but they definitely did on other planets and worlds.
What right did a Transcendent-grade like Sha Lou have to represent the entire Winged Ones?
He was just playing with words. When the time came, not only would Su Jingxing not get the help of the Winged Ones, he would also anger those in other worlds and planets.
And even if he was exposed, Sha Lou wouldn’t admit to such little schemes.
The other party’s attitude was clear. He didn’t even want his freedom anymore. What else do you want?
Su Jingxing didn’t expose him, but he wouldn’t let him cause trouble either. He directly targeted Sha Lou himself.
In this way, Sha Lou had no escape.
The moment he made the oath, a line appeared in Su Jingxing’s mind.
A unique soul branch line that led to the outside.
From this moment on, Sha Lou would be Su Jingxing’s first subordinate. Other than not being able to kill him, he would be at Su Jingxing’s mercy for the next 30 years.
Of course, Su Jingxing wouldn’t be so lame as to hit and scold a Transcendent-grade for no reason.
As a Winged One in the Transcendent-grade, without wings, his strength was greatly reduced.
But if he could grow wings again, he would definitely be a great helper.
Therefore, this deal was worth it.
…
“You guys roasted your former clansmen on a fire because you wanted to eat them?”
Now that his identity was established, Su Jingxing spoke casually.
“Of course not.”
Sha Lou smiled bitterly. “They are of the same race, after all. Why would we eat them? The reason why we set them on fire was to see if we could turn them back.
“According to the messages left behind by our ancestors, the Sword Demon Iron has the ability to stimulate sentience under the burning of flames.
“Coincidentally, two Sword Demon Half-Demons broke into our territory for some reason. I captured them and turned them into Sword Demon Iron. Together with four of my former clansmen, we roasted them.
“I don’t know if this method will work. At the very least, there’s no good news yet.”
“I see.” Su Jingxing nodded. “According to what you said, doesn’t that make the Sword Demon Iron a treasure material?”
“Yes.”
Sha Lou said seriously, “The Sword Demon Iron is one of the best materials to forge divine and Dao weapons. The Sword Demon Half-Demons are a little lacking. I was referring to the true Sword Demon Iron that is transformed from the Sword Demon!”
“Dao weapon?” Su Jingxing did not probe further. Instead, he caught the word “Dao weapon” and asked curiously, “Dao weapons and divine weapons are not the same?”
“Of course not.”
Sha Lou did not look down on him or mock him. He replied seriously, “Divine weapons are powerful weapons evolved from Divine Weapon Seeds, and the Divine Weapon Seed comes from the Divine Weapon World. The Divine Weapon World is extremely mysterious, and few people in the world know where it is.

“Dao weapons are different. Apart from being naturally nurtured by the Great Dao of the universe, they can also be produced through engraving with Dao marks on them using great divine arts.
“Dao weapons have grades, and there are traces of the Great Dao on them. The more Dao marks there are, the higher the grade, and the stronger the power.
“To put it simply, the power of a divine weapon is fixed and cannot be advanced, but Dao weapons can continuously become stronger, right?” Su Jingxing concluded.
“That’s right. The might of a divine weapon is determined by the seed, but the might of a Dao weapon is determined by people. The deeper one’s comprehension of the Great Dao of the universe, the more marks one leaves on the Dao weapon, the stronger its might,” Sha Lou explained.
Swish!
A glow bloomed.
Su Jingxing took out the Heaven Sealing Staff and tossed it to Sha Lou. He said calmly, “See if this is a Dao weapon. If so, what grade it is.”
Sha Lou hurriedly took it and held it in his hand. He carefully sensed it. A moment later, he nodded and said, “This staff is indeed a Dao weapon. There are two marks of the Great Dao on it, so it is a two-mark weapon.”
A two-mark Dao weapon?
Su Jingxing nodded and took back the Heaven Sealing Staff from Sha Lou.
There was no need for him to hide this from one of his own.
Su Jingxing now knew that there were many types of spatial treasures.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the Bone Demon’s memories only contained the latter half, Su Jingxing wouldn’t have needed to get this information from Sha Lou.
Sword Demon Iron, Dao Weapons, Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, Winged Ones, Divine Weapon World…
There are too many unknowns and mysteries.
Su Jingxing sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He called out, “There’s nothing else. Let’s go down the mountain. The sooner we complete the oath, the sooner we can leave this d*mned place.”
“Yes!”
Sha Lou responded respectfully.
