481 Rules and Incense
On the same day, Lin Qiye made a detailed plan for the follow-up.
In the evening, Butcher and the others gathered.
Looking at Butcher, Chang Shi, and Hou Tu, Lin Qiye couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
“Why didn’t Lonemoon come?”
When he broke through today, Lonemoon wasn’t there. Now that he had something important to announce, she wasn’t here too.
“My Lord, Lonemoon is now in seclusion. She should be about to break through,” Chang Shi said respectfully.
Lonemoon’s talent was not weak. Long before she met Butcher and the others, she had the potential of breaking through to the Embodier Realm.
It was only because she was with Lin Qiye that her life was too comfortable. As for her cultivation, she was slow and stopped at the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Lin Qiye also knew about this, so he nodded and did not ask further.
“Since she’s in seclusion, I’ll tell you guys first.”
The few people had solemn expressions as they listened attentively.

Butcher didn’t have much of a reaction to this, but Chang Shi and Hou Tu were shocked.
According to Lin Qiye’s plan, he wanted to recruit all the demons in the vicinity.
“My Lord, do you want all of them? There are 1,300 mountain lords under the jurisdiction of Holy King City, and the number of lesser demons under them is uncountable. Rashly gathering so many would not be easy to manage!”
They believed Lin Qiye’s strength was enough to suppress all the demons in this area. However, there were simply too many demons in the Holy King City.
Even if those demons were forced to submit to Lin Qiye’s threat of violence on the surface, there was no way to investigate if they were up to something bad behind the scenes.
“This is indeed a problem. If those guys use your name to do evil, it will inevitably affect your reputation.”
Butcher also nodded.
Lin Qiye smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. I’m not asking you to subdue them immediately. Food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things naturally have to be pushed forward bit by bit.”
“Chang Shi and Hou Tu, contact your friends. If they are willing to join me, show them the rules I set. If they can accept it, they can stay. If they can’t, don’t bother.
“As for the rest, it will naturally be resolved once you’ve settled this matter.”
Chang Shi and Hou Tu looked at each other. After receiving the terms from Lin Qiye, their faces lit up with joy.
“We understand, my Lord. Leave this matter to us!”
The two patted their chest with confidence.
Lin Qiye nodded and turned to look at Butcher.
“Butcher, for the next period, you will cooperate with them. If there are any disobedient people, I will leave them to you.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
Butcher wasn’t sure what Lin Qiye was up to, but he obeyed his orders unconditionally.
After they took their leave, Chang Shi and Hou Tu were so excited that they started to talk about it.
“Our Lord’s plan is really wonderful. We don’t even need to do anything. I’m afraid those guys will be willing to stay put.”
“Hehe, at this rate, not to mention Holy King City, even the demons of the Imperial Kingdom will sooner or later be under our Lord’s command!”
The two chatted enthusiastically, but Butcher was like a block of wood, not saying a word.
Chang Shi couldn’t help but look at Butcher curiously.
“I say, Brother Butcher, aren’t you curious about the Lord’s plan?”
Butcher smiled. “Our Lord’s plan naturally has its profound meaning. We only need to follow his orders.”
“Tsk!” Chang Shi and Hou Tu waved their hands uninterestedly.

The next day, early in the morning, many mountain lords near Tata Village received Chang Shi and Hou Tu’s message.
Most of them were good friends, and some had chosen to stay behind to stop the enemy during the last battle against the crimson python.
“What do you think of the Holy Infant City God Temple recruiting subordinates?”
“Of course, it’s a good thing. Look at Chang Shi and the others. Since they followed the Holy Infant, their strength has now left us a hundred thousand miles behind!”
“That’s right. What’s more, Chang Shi and the others only revealed this information to us. They didn’t disclose it directly. They’re taking care of us for the sake of our friendship!”
“I agree. The earlier we join, the more advantageous it will be. We can’t miss this opportunity!”
Many demons acquainted with Chang Shi and the others gathered to discuss.
Soon, most of them decided to join Lin Qiye.
However, there was also a small group who had different views.
“Aren’t you guys being too optimistic? Don’t just look at the good side and forget about the other conditions. It’s not that easy to get benefits from the hands of the Holy Infant.”
“That’s right. Look at what it says here. Anyone who joins must strictly abide by the following conditions. If there is any violation, severe punishment will be imposed!”
“I can’t accept these rules. For example, this one doesn’t allow us to eat humans and wants us to help humans instead. What logic was this? I, the great mountain lord of the Wuyou Mountain, will help those weak humans? You must be joking!”
“Right! If we were to submit to him and be tied up like a dog, what was the use of having a high cultivation realm? It’s better to stay in this realm forever!”
There were not many demons shouting, but most of the demons present fell silent.
