Journey To The Supreme God - Chapter 39
Even though being a slave is worse than death. Still, for most people especially these bandits, their lives are still far more important.
They are all not experts with principles that cannot be broken. They are just bandits. Bandit itself is a very dirty and despicable job. Falling into slavery is not too embarrassing for these bandits. As long as they are still alive, then everything is fine. At best, their lives are no longer as good as before.
Even before Qin Tian started counting, cries of oath had already been heard from their mouths.
“I swear by heaven as a witness that from now on I am your slave. If I dare to disobey your orders or betray you, then let heaven punish me with everlasting death, without being able to reincarnate again.” Each bandit shouted their oath.
Even the three bandit leaders were no exception. They were even among the first to swear an oath.
They did it all because they were afraid, Qin Tian would kill them.
From the start, they did not doubt Qin Tian’s words.
Seeing everything that had happened so far, they already considered Qin Tian as a young master of a certain powerful clan.
For people from powerful clans, bandits like them didn’t have much price. If they want slaves, they can easily buy it.
Just making them slaves without killing them is already the mercy that Qin Tian gave them.
For this reason, the three bandit leaders also did not hesitate when taking an oath that would make them slaves.
In truth, Qin Tian would not kill them if any of them did not swear when he counted to three.
Qin Tian wants to make them slaves because he really needs them.
If any of them did not take an oath, at most, Qin Tian would only use other methods to force them.
Fortunately, none of these bandits did not take an oath, making it unnecessary to waste time.
As soon as the bandits swore an oath, they could feel a kind of bond in the deepest part of their souls.
The bond seemed to be able to extinguish their souls at any time if they disobeyed the oath they took.
After they swore, the land that held them back soon weakened, allowing them to get out easily.
They then lined up neatly with the three leaders at the very front.
Although the sissy bandit and thin bandit were injured, they acted as if nothing had happened to their bodies.
Qin Tian smiled faintly after he obtained dozens of slaves who would become his subordinates. Even though they might no longer be useful in the future when his own cultivation increased, at this time, they were still very useful to him. He can use them to do things that he cannot do. And with the oath of slavery, it was impossible for them to betray him.
He then flapped his wings once more before arriving in front of them.
There is not a single living creature, even one who does not have the intelligence that is happy to be a slave. However, even if they were unhappy, they all still displayed their best expressions when facing Qin Tian, their new master.
The sissy bandit also no longer dared to show a strange look at Qin Tian. He just showed a polite expression like a good servant girl.
Even the thin bandits who hated Qin Tian gave a very friendly expression to Qin Tian as if he was his own father.
As for the bandit’s first brother, his expression was more stable. He showed an expression of respect, but not exaggerated. The little intelligence he possessed made it possible for him to know how to be a useful subordinate. He needs to look smart so he can always be the leader of a bandit group under Qin Tian. Even if he was the most powerful, if he did not look smart, Qin Tian might choose another bandit to lead their group. He certainly did not want that to happen. As a slave, he could not refuse. He could not even show displeasure if Qin Tian changed his position.
Landing in front of the bandit group, Qin Tian immediately spoke. “You can call me young master Qin. Now say your names.” Qin Tian said while glancing at the three bandit leaders.
He just needs to get to know the three bandit leaders. As for the other bandits, he was too lazy to get to know them.
The bandit’s first brother was the first to introduce himself. He took a step forward and said, “Em, this humble slave named Hu. Hu saluted young master Qin.” He introduced himself politely and respectfully while cupping his two fists.
’em.’ Qin Tian nodded at Hu. He was quite satisfied with Hu. Besides being strong, he is quite a bit smart. He is indeed suitable to be a bandit leader, thought Qin Tian.
Qin Tian then glanced at the sissy bandit and skinny bandit, waiting for the two of them to introduce themselves.
They both did not dare to delay. Immediately the two introduced themselves to Qin Tian in a more polite tone.
The sissy bandit was named Ang, while the thin bandit was named Bao.
Qin Tian doesn’t really care about their names. He immediately changed the topic. He asked about their background and where they lived and what they usually did besides being a bandit.
As a leader who knows everything, Hu is the one who explained about them to Qin Tian.
They live in a small town across the brink of death.
With Hu’s explanation, Qin Tian now knows that the mountain in front of him is called the abyss of death because those who fall into the abyss or deliberately enter it, no one ever comes out even a saint. There are many legends about the abyss, but it is most clearly said that it was the place of death of a god who challenged the Great Emperor Yan.
These bandits usually ventured in the mountains of the brink of death while robbing adventurers who were weaker than their group.
They sometimes also rob small tribes around.
Apart from doing work as bandits, part of their time is just for fun in the city. Only after their wealth has run out, they then do their work. Of course, in the city they will not say that they are bandits.
If it is known that they are the ones who often attack the group of adventurers, they will definitely be directly destroyed by other groups of adventurers who live in the city.
Normally, they would kill all their targets so that their secrets would not be leaked. And they will sell their spoils elsewhere.
After listening to everything about them, Qin Tian did not know whether the right choice brought these bandits. But since they had sworn to be his slaves, he would not just throw them away. He then changed the topic again.
“Now, hand over your storage ring to me.” Qin Tian said while his gaze was on the ring in the bandit leader’s hand.
Qin Tian’s words shocked all the bandits. As a young master of a powerful clan, why would their master want their little treasure? All bandits wondered.
But because it was Qin Tian’s order, no one dared to question it. All the bandits immediately took off their rings and handed them to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian smiled in satisfaction at the dozens of storage rings in his hand. Even though the wealth of the bandits may not be much, it is still very much for him who has nothing.
“I’ll return it later.” Qin Tian said while tying all the rings.
After the ring was tied by him, he immediately peeked at the space inside the ring. Even though there are many storage rings, he can actually see everything as if there is only one ring.
And what he saw in the ring, made Qin Tian couldn’t help but smile. In fact there are some things that surprised him.
