Beastmaster

Chapter 313: I will be the first one to appear on this day

Jing Cangming squatted down, just at the same height as the sitting Dong Huang, and looked at Dong Huang seriously and affectionately, "Master, just tell me! Don't you trust me?"

Dong Huang laughed and shook his head, "Cang Ming, it's not that I don't trust you. I do. I trust you so much that I can let your friends go. But what can you do now that you know these things?"

Jing Cangming said, "Even if it's nothing, I don't want everyone to call you a tyrant! This is not a good word!"

Dong Huang laughed and said, "Silly child, I am already old, do I still care about what people say about me?"

After hearing this, Jing Cangming didn't know how to ask further. After a moment, he looked at Donghuang with firm eyes and said, "Master, as your disciple, I feel I am qualified to know your thoughts."

Donghuang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you have to remember, don't let anyone else know about this except you and me."

Jing Cangming smiled happily when he heard that, then nodded heavily!

"This matter dates back to ten years ago."

Hearing this, Jing Cangming instantly perked up. Wasn't it the time when the Northern Continent was attacked by a foreign country ten years ago? Could this have something to do with the Eastern Emperor?

"Oh, by the way, aren't you from the Northern Continent? You must know what happened in the Northern Continent ten years ago, right?" Donghuang asked Jing Cangming curiously.

Jing Cangming nodded and thought to himself, "Sure enough, it is related to the Northern Continent. Could it be that Donghuang is also related to a foreign country?"

"Wasn't the Northern Continent attacked by a foreign country ten years ago? I was in the Northern Continent at that time."

"What are you doing in the Northern Continent?!" Jing Cangming asked in confusion.

"Just taking a stroll when I have free time," Donghuang said casually.

Jing Cangming didn't dare to continue thinking according to his own ideas. If this matter was really related to Donghuang, then...

"Master, please continue."

"I witnessed with my own eyes the destruction of the Northern Palace by pagans. The scene was so horrific that I still cannot forget it."

"So what does this have to do with people saying you're a tyrant?"

"The East Continent was not like this ten years ago. At that time, the East Continent was peaceful, almost the same as the Northern Continent. But since I witnessed the cruelty of that battle, I know that if the Northern Continent fell, the next to fall would be either the Western Continent or my East Continent!" said Dong Huang.

Jing Cangming nodded. He agreed with Donghuang’s words very much. The only two continents bordering the Northern Continent were the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.

"After I came back, I looked out over the entire East Continent. If the East Continent was destroyed in my hands, I would be a sinner for all eternity. Instead of trembling with fear over such a problem every day, I might as well change the East Continent myself!"

"But hasn't everyone in the East Continent been a beast general since ancient times? Isn't that enough to resist foreign countries?" Jing Cangming asked.

Dong Huang shook his head. "Kid, you are too naive. The growth rate of foreign nations is beyond our prediction. Among the foreign believers who attacked the Northern Continent, there was one person I met. He was only in his 50s at the time, but in just two years, he became the Beast Emperor!"

"At this rate of cultivation, if all foreign believers are like this, do you think the entire East Continent or even the entire Beast Control Continent will be their opponent?"

Jing Cangming fell into deep thought after hearing this. It was indeed true. He had not fought many battles with foreign countries, but not a few either. Their strength really changed day by day.

"So after I came back, I decided to do daily training. Oh, that's the daily battles you see. The purpose is to keep everyone in combat form at all times, and to keep their physical strength at its peak at all times."

"But fighting like this every day might backfire."

Dong Huang said, "If this were any other continent, it would definitely be counterproductive, but don't forget, the East Continent's ability to refine medicine is second to none in the entire Beast Taming Continent. With the recovery of elixirs, everyone's health will be fine. I'm even worried that you don't have enough elixirs, so I will distribute them to all forces every month."

Jing Cangming was shocked, he never thought that Donghuang's action was to resist foreign countries. At first, Jing Cangming thought that he was going to invade other continents. It seems that not only everyone, but even himself, knew too little about Donghuang.

"Then why do you let the loser offer sacrifice to women?" Jing Cangming continued to ask.

Dong Huang said bitterly, "Women will become obstacles to a man's growth. I asked them to offer women as sacrifices to help them break away from love. Moreover, I took good care of those women and would not harm them. After all the women in their forces had been offered as sacrifices, I would not let them offer sacrifices anymore. But I did not expect that they would actually engage in the slave trade. So, in a rage, I made these women fight each other!"

Jing Cangming sighed upon hearing this, "Master, your original intention was good, but isn't this a bit extreme now?"

Dong Huang smiled bitterly, "I know, but isn't the effect good now? For the sake of daily rewards and women, everyone is practicing and improving desperately to keep themselves in the best condition. If a foreign country invades one day, I can't guarantee that the East Continent will win, but I can at least guarantee that everyone will be a soldier!"

To be honest, after listening to Dong Huang's words, Jing Cangming actually didn't know how to refute it. Extreme? Extreme! But this method is indeed very effective. At least now it seems that everyone is improving themselves like chicken blood, although the purpose is not pure.

Jing Cangming began to hesitate whether to tell Donghuang about his plan. He felt that now was the best opportunity to get Donghuang on board, but he was not sure whether what Donghuang said was true.

"So Master, everything you do is to preserve the East Continent?" Jing Cangming asked.

Dong Huang nodded and said, "So, I don't care if people call me a tyrant. What I care about is whether the East Continent will have the strength to fight when it faces life and death! Instead of being slaughtered like chickens."

"Master, what about your son..." Jing Cangming hesitated.

Upon hearing this, Donghuang was immediately saddened, "My son, he died at the hands of a foreign country."

"Ah? What's going on?"

"Not everyone in the East Continent is warlike. In the beginning, there were many people who yearned for peace. Not long after the Beast Fighting War began, they left the East Continent one after another. Those who stayed were what you see now. So, I began to aggressively recruit people from other continents to join the war." At this point, Dong Huang clearly had some regrets.

"Later, a man appeared. That guy was a pagan. He fought all the way and was the champion of the Beast Emperor Ladder every day. But this guy didn't know when to stop. No one in his hands left alive. But there was no rule against killing at that time, so there was nothing we could do."

Jing Cangming was immediately furious, "Damn foreign country!"

"Alas, my son was about to take part in the battle of the Beast Emperor Stairs at that time, wanting to take down that guy in one fell swoop, but... he failed," Dong Huang said with a somewhat sad expression.

Jing Cangming sat next to Donghuang and comforted him, "Master, what happened next?"

Donghuang looked at Jing Cangming and nodded with emotion, "Later, I personally took action to suppress that guy. Since then, although I did not set a rule not to allow killing, it is obvious that everyone stopped when they should, and there were not many deaths."

"If that's the case, why do you allow foreign believers to appear in the East Continent so brazenly?" Jing Cangming asked in confusion.

Dong Huang smiled bitterly, looked at Jing Cangming and said, "Silly disciple, do you really think I don't want to kill those guys? Those guys are here to stare at me! Staring at the entire East Continent! If you kill one, another will come, over and over again. But every time you kill a foreign believer, the next one will be stronger. Wouldn't that harm the people!"

"Alas, we will never have a peaceful day unless these foreign believers are completely eradicated from the Beast Taming Continent," Jing Cangming said with some melancholy.

Dong Huang said, "It's a pity that the five continents are not united. If everyone could work together, maybe my Eastern Continent would not be like this today, right?"

As he spoke, Dong Huang lowered his head, and drops of crystal clear liquid fell from his face and evaporated in mid-air due to the high temperature.

"Master?" Jing Cangming quickly looked at Donghuang with concern.

Donghuang cried, the tyrant in everyone's eyes cried. Perhaps if Jing Cangming had not appeared, only Donghuang himself knew why he did everything he did?

Donghuang sniffed, raised his head and choked up, "I'm fine, I just have been holding in grievances for ten years, and I'm happy to be able to express it today."

Jing Cangming had the answer in his mind at this time, "Master, if there is an opportunity to unite the Beast Control Continent to face the outside world, will you join?"

Dong Huang heard this and immediately raised his head to look at Jing Cangming, with an incredible look on his face, but soon, the look disappeared, and he smiled bitterly and said, "How is it possible? The five continents have always been independent, how could they bend and cooperate?"

Jing Cangming stood up and looked at Dong Huang seriously, "Master, if there really is such a day, can you agree to let me join?"

Dong Huang looked at the serious Jing Cangming and actually believed his words a little. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and said to Jing Cangming, "Okay, if there is such a day, I will lead the East Continent to be the first!"

After saying that, Donghuang turned around and left back into the house.

Jing Cangming stood in the yard, looking at Donghuang's back, a smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself, "Don't worry, Master, I promise this day will come."

In the room, Donghuang sat on the bed alone, staring at the ceiling in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Jing Cangming was holding a huge octopus foot, which was wrapped in the same fire leaves, "Master~Octopus foot~"
