Monster, come to my bowl

When Tu Tianming heard Cai Ji's words, his face was full of disdain.

He sneered and retorted, "What justice do the people need? We, the demon-suppressing guards, risk our lives to protect them. So what if we can get some benefits from them? Their lives were given by the demon-suppressing department. What qualifications do they have to judge us?"

After hearing what Tu Tianming said, Cai Ji finally understood why the Demon-Suppressing Guards of Wuguan dared to be so domineering.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked!

With a city lord who despises the common people, it would be strange if the Demon-Suppressing Guards were not arrogant!

Cai Ji thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Lord Tu, have you ever seen a monster enslaving a human race?"

"No." Tu Tianming answered impatiently.

"I have seen it!" Cai Ji smiled and said, "I have seen a monkey demon king who enslaved hundreds of humans and built caves for him."

"What do you mean by telling me this?" Tu Tianming asked suspiciously.

"What I mean is that you are no different from the Monkey Demon King, or even worse than him," Cai Ji replied.

"Bullshit!" City Lord Tu was furious and clenched his fists, saying, "I am a demon-suppressing guard, how can I be the same as a demon!"

"Hey, don't be impatient! I haven't finished yet!" Cai Ji grinned and said with contempt: "The demon king enslaved humans and provided them with food and shelter! The people of Wuguan worked hard every day, and most of the harvest was handed over to the Demon Suppression Bureau! As for you, not only did you not provide them with food and shelter, you also allowed your men to blackmail them! Tell me, are you more cruel than the demon king?"

"you……"

Tu Tianming was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't help but lose his temper.

But Cai Ji was not afraid at all.

He stroked his chin and continued to taunt, "Lord Tu, you usually do a lot of bad things in Wuguan, such as stealing money and killing people, robbing women, and occupying people's fields, right?"

Bang!

Tu Tianming was finally irritated, and slammed the table, saying, "I am the lord of a city, how could I do such despicable things! You keep humiliating me, do you think I dare not do anything?"

"Fortunately you didn't do it!" Cai Ji didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you would have to go back lying down."

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold!

Clang!

Outside the guest room door, there was a sound of swords being unsheathed.

The two hundred elite demon-suppressing guards who followed the city lord heard everything that happened inside clearly.

When they heard Cai Ji's words, they subconsciously drew out their demon-suppressing swords.

The expression on Tu Tianming's face also changed suddenly.

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the arrogant bald man in front of him, and slowly reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist with his left hand, as if he was going to test the other party's strength.

Unfortunately, Cai Ji didn't give him a chance.

Shopkeeper Cai looked at the demon-slaying sword on Lord Tu's waist and muttered a few words softly.

Click!

The next second, the demon-slaying sword that had accompanied the city lord for more than twenty years shattered along with its scabbard.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The fragments fell on the floor with a slight sound.

Swish!

Tu Tianming felt something light around his waist. He looked down and saw debris all over the floor. His face turned pale instantly.

Haven’t started yet!

Your weapon is gone?

How to fight this?

The strength of both sides is not at the same level at all!

He subconsciously took a step back and asked nervously: "What method did you use?"

“You won’t understand even if I tell you.” Cai Ji curled his lips and said in a masterly manner, “Remember this: there is always someone stronger than you, and there is always someone higher than you! Don’t think that being a city lord means you can look down on the common people! Without the support of the people, neither the Demon Suppression Guards nor the Demon Suppression Division are anything!”

Tu Tianming moved his lips but said nothing.

He wanted to talk back, but he didn't dare.

The bureaucratic thinking in the city lord's mind is deeply rooted and cannot be changed by just a few words.

Cai Ji did not expect to convince him easily.

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to restrain your men, I'll do it for you! When I think it's enough, I'll leave! Let's go back to sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Tianming turned around and walked out without saying a word.

At this moment, the city lord's heart was filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

The demon-slaying sword that had accompanied him for half his life was destroyed in front of him by someone using some unknown means without him even noticing.

This is not only a provocation to him, but also a contempt for him.

Naked contempt!

It's simply a shame and a shame.

This revenge must be avenged!

As for how to report it, I have to go back and think about it first.

Lord Tu of the city understands that a good man will not suffer a loss in front of him.

……

At the same time, Cai Ji was also a little worried.

I just used up a lot of spiritual energy to destroy Tu Tianming's demon-slaying sword using the Holy Word.

And, that's not even the most important thing.

The most important thing is that he originally planned to get a pass from the other party, then hitch a ride with the Demon Suppression Guards, and take the secret passage through the foggy forest back to Zhongzhou.

Who knew that the two sides had different views and the talks broke down as soon as they met!

In this case, we have to find another way to return to Zhongzhou.

Cai Ji lay on the bed and began to think about countermeasures.

"What should we do? How about inventing a compass?"

"Making a compass is not difficult, but I am afraid that I might accidentally enter the Demon Emperor's territory when crossing the forest."

"Eh? I got a compass...!"

"I'm such a genius!"

As he was thinking, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Cai Ji immediately got out of bed and walked to the table.

Wow!

He pulled out a bunch of random things from his mustard bag.

I have been shopping all over Wuguan these days, buying countless useful and useless things.

Cai Ji found a small copper bowl from among the various items, and then took two iron nails. Then he found a transparent gem from among the gold and silver treasures.

He first kneaded two iron nails into the required shape of the iron sheet, then magnetized it with the Holy Word, and then painted both ends of the iron sheet red and white.

Then, he put the copper bowl, iron nail, and gem together and chanted directly with the Holy Word: "Put these things together to form a box-shaped compass!"

Crunchy!

As soon as he finished speaking, several objects twisted and deformed under the drive of a mysterious force, and finally combined into a compass.

Cai Ji picked it up excitedly and found that this compass, which was processed with the Holy Word, had almost no flaws on the surface. The copper shell and the gem fit perfectly, and the workmanship was first-class!

The red pointer below the gem points firmly to the south.

However, guidance is not the only function of this compass.

Cai Ji made it, and it has many more wonderful uses!

He held the compass and whispered the Holy Word: "The red head points to the innkeeper of this inn."

Swish!

As the words came out, the red pointer quickly turned in one direction.

Moreover, the spiritual energy consumed is minimal.

"Hahaha!"

Cai Ji was overjoyed and immediately took the compass back to the bed and started conducting more experiments.

"Point to Wangcai!"

"Point to Xue Yi!"

"Point to the nearest monster!"

"Pointing at the most handsome bald guy in the world... Shit, it's not me?"
