Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Kongming was also confused after hearing this. Logically speaking, a primordial demon king should not be afraid of a mere monkey demon. He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply stopped worrying about it.

At this moment, the herdsmen looked at the wolf demon in the arena. This was the high priest they had always worshipped, and now it had killed so many of them. They could not accept it for a while.

Then the tribal chief turned to look at Kongming and the other two, and said with courage, "Thank you for your help, but he is our tribe's priest, who has protected our tribe for a hundred years. I wonder if you could spare his life?"

"What high priest? He's just a wolf demon. In my opinion, we should just kill him with a rake to prevent future trouble!" Zhu Ganglie was filled with a sense of justice when the tribal chief addressed him as a master, but he forgot that he was also a demon.

"No, no! If you kill the priest, what will we do if we encounter monsters or other tribal forces attacking us in the future?"

The tribal chief hurriedly waved his hand, his face showing deep worry. The herders echoed his sentiment, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown danger and dependence on the wolf demon.

"Then you might as well worship me, Old Pig, and I'll protect your entire tribe..."

Kongming turned and glared at Zhu Ganglie, saying, "Do you want to ensure that their tribe will never have swine fever again, or do you want to ensure that their livestock will thrive?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie shrank back, momentarily carried away by his smugness, and completely forgot that they had come to evade capture.

Then, Kongming turned to the tribal chief and said, "If we don't kill this wolf demon, it might try to harm us again after we leave. What should the chief do?"

Upon hearing this, the tribal chief was at a loss for what to do. The wolf demon had guarded them for hundreds of years, and to kill it so easily was truly unbearable for these simple and honest people.

"This...this...please, Immortal Master, show me the way!"

Kongming waved his feather fan, a troubled look on his face, and stared at the tribal chief, saying, "We were just passing by when we saw the wolf demon committing atrocities, so we pretended to stop. You want me to solve your worries? Aren't you being a bit too demanding?"

"Please, Immortal Master, have mercy! Our tribe will certainly build a Temple of Longevity for you and offer sacrifices there year after year!" The tribal chief, hearing Kongming's tone, seemed to have a solution, and immediately knelt down to plead. The other herders followed suit...

"Ah...so be it! It's fate that we met. I'll stay in your tribe for a few days and help you solve this problem!" Kongming said, feigning helplessness.

"Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"

A group of herdsmen bowed to Kongming again, and then the three of them were invited into the tent by the chief.

"These next few days I'll let my pig pet reveal its true form and properly train that wolf demon. I believe that demon will definitely not dare to act so beastly again!" Kongming said casually, taking a sip of mare's milk.

Upon hearing this address, Zhu Ganglie immediately began to grunt and groan. He was called a brother when he asked Zhu Ganglie for favors, but now that he turned his back, Zhu Ganglie called him a pig pet. Was there any justice in this world?

Upon hearing that Kongming was willing to resolve this worry for him, the tribal chief was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I will follow the Immortal Master's arrangements!"

"Furthermore, our sect has strict rules that you are not allowed to reveal any information about us. If you dare to leak any information, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Kongming said sternly, his eyes sweeping over the herdsmen present.

"Please rest assured, Immortal Master, we will never reveal a single detail to the outside world."

The tribal chief nervously assured him, after all, even the tribe's priest had been won over by the other party, so how could he dare to have any other thoughts? Even knowing that Kongming was being hunted, he dared not have any disloyal intentions.

Afterwards, Kongming and Su Yao changed into herdsmen's clothes, while Zhu Ganglie revealed his true form and mingled with the wolf demon.

The herders were so impressed by how obedient their ancestor was to Zhu Ganglie that they began to mistakenly believe that Zhu Ganglie was the one they were worshipping.

This also made Zhu Ganglie famous within the tribe, and his status rose accordingly, subtly overshadowing the wolf demon's previous prominence.

Kongming was unsure whether the cultivators involved in the pursuit had left, so he decided to observe for a few more days before making a decision.

As for Su Yao, she had no choice but to follow Kongming due to the circumstances.

……

"You cunning fellow, if I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead!" A Golden Core cultivator stood on a flying spirit beast, looking around.

On that day, after breaking through the Eight Trigrams Formation, they continued their pursuit in the previous direction, but they couldn't even see a trace of Kongming, so they began to search separately.

After several days, he was exhausted. At this moment, he saw the mortal tribe below and prepared to go down to rest before going to search again.

When he landed on the grassland, Kongming was aware of his every move and immediately ordered several quick-witted herdsmen to go and meet him.

"Welcome to our tribe, Immortal Master!" a herdsman knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Quickly prepare a secluded place for this immortal master." After saying this, the Golden Core cultivator swaggered into the tribe.

He paused briefly as he passed the tribal altar.

“Master, that is our tribe’s high priest. As for the wild boar, we intend to tame it.”

"For the sake of the tribe's reproduction and animal husbandry." The herdsman repeated exactly what Kongming had taught him.

The Golden Core cultivator nodded, his gaze lingering on the wolf demon for a moment. Although he was surprised by the demon's cultivation level, he didn't think much of it.

Generally, these demons, due to a lack of cultivation resources, would become priests in some tribes in order to obtain resources, and their strength was still somewhat inferior to that of a human Golden Core cultivator.

Therefore, he figured this demon wouldn't dare to mess with him. After all, most human cultivators exist in the form of sects, and daring to offend a cultivation sect would only lead to death.

As for the wild boar, it wasn't even on his radar.

Meanwhile, a few days earlier, Kongming had ordered a secret chamber to be dug in a remote place just in case, but of course, this was not for his own use.

Soon, the Golden Core cultivator was led into the secret chamber by the herdsman. He waved for the herdsman to leave, then closed his eyes and began to meditate to recover his depleted mana.

In the distance, Kongming gazed toward the secret chamber, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Let me show you the taste of my most amazing invention from my past life, 'Nine Cannons Hidden in One Cannon'."

As Kongming finished speaking, a deafening explosion rang out, shaking the entire tribe.

"This...this...could it be the wrath of the gods?" The bewildered herders in the tribe were terrified by the sudden explosion and knelt down to pray...

Postscript: The "one cannon containing nine cannons" is one of Zhuge Liang's ten great inventions and also the earliest prototype of a landmine, said to have enormous destructive power. These are all historically verifiable, including the Kongming lock mentioned earlier...
