After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 267 Kill Order

When Lu Qingfeng arrived after hearing the news, he could smell the strong, lingering stench of blood from afar. As he flew closer on his sword, he saw only devastation.

The demon army, once dominated the Qingyun Continent under the leadership of the evil child, was a force that struck fear into the hearts of cultivators on the Qingyun Continent. Now, however, they have turned into corpses scattered all over the mountains and fields, lying haphazardly on the ground.

"What...what's going on?!" The cultivators who came with Lu Qingfeng were so shocked that they couldn't speak properly.

"Which powerful being came here to rid this place of these demonic monsters?!"

"Excellent, excellent! There was still a demon army here in the Ten Thousand Mountains this morning. When did such a powerful figure emerge from my Azure Cloud Continent, who could wipe out hundreds of thousands of demonic monsters in just half a day?"

"Perhaps it will be more than half a day, maybe even shorter, not to mention that there are several powerful figures stationed on the demon side, especially that female demon called Evil Child!"

"Elder Lu, wasn't the message passed on to you by Elder Liu? He wouldn't have already..."

With these words, everyone's attention turned to Lu Qingfeng.

Just now, Lu Qingfeng, the Zhen Sect Elder of the Lingxian Sect, received a communication talisman.

At that time, representatives from various factions on the Qingyun Continent were holding a war preparation meeting when they saw Elder Lu, who was usually unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, suddenly change his expression.

After inquiring, they learned that Elder Liu San of the Lingxian Sect's Danzong branch had encountered trouble in this place and requested assistance.

I never expected to see such a scene upon arriving here.

Lu Qingfeng suppressed his grief and indignation.

In fact, Liu San's transmission talisman only said one sentence: "Dream Eater was born from Tang Ling's body, and together with Song Nan, she slaughtered the demon army. When her spiritual power was exhausted, she turned into a cat. After learning of your and my identities, my second sister and I both died."

This is truly a huge piece of bad news.

He didn't even have time to control his expression before attracting everyone's attention.

In his panic, he could only make up a random sentence.

where is it?
Where are my second sister and third brother?!
From the moment he received the transmission talisman until now, he used almost the fastest magic artifact and expended a lot of spiritual power to quickly arrive.

The Dream Eater couldn't possibly be leaving so soon!
He's going to kill the Dream Eater!
Avenge my second sister and third brother!

Just then, a cultivator suddenly shouted from behind, "What is that?!"

Following the direction he pointed, a small black figure darted swiftly through the corpses.

"It's...it's a black cat!"

Black cat?

It's Xiaohei!
It's a dream-eating game!
"The entire demon army here is dead. How could a black cat possibly have survived? Something's fishy! Chase after it!"

Lu Qingfeng suddenly gave chase.

The third brother said in the transmission talisman that the Dream Eater's spiritual power had been exhausted, and catching up should not be a problem.

But he was wrong.

Even though the Dream Eater was told by Liu San's teleportation talisman that "its spiritual power is exhausted and it will turn into a cat," its speed was still faster than that of several powerful cultivators from the Azure Cloud Continent.

No, we absolutely cannot let it escape!

Lu Qingfeng gritted his teeth, took out a pill from his pocket, and swallowed it.

This is a pill that instantly increases a person's abilities a hundredfold, but the price is that their cultivation level will drop by one rank after the boost ends.

Thus, in the eyes of the other cultivators, Lu Qingfeng disappeared from their sight in an instant.

not enough.

Still not enough!

Not enough, not enough!

After increasing the speed, the black dot in front of me kept running at a distance, never too close and never too far, and it seemed like I could never catch up with it.

what happened?

Didn't they say their spiritual energy was exhausted?

Does a dream-eating creature that transforms into a cat possess such immense power?!
Lu Qing was somewhat convinced that the black spot was just an illusion.

Or perhaps it's an illusion woven by dream-eating.

Can't catch up.

It's really too late to catch up.

Are we just going to give up like this?

Lu Qingfeng was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Just as the effects of the pills were about to wear off, Lu Qingfeng suddenly had an idea.

The cultivators flew for another half day before catching up with Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng was lying on the ground, almost on the verge of death, his face showing utter exhaustion, as if he had aged decades in an instant. "Elder Lu!"

"Elder Lu, what's wrong?"

"Elder Lu, have you been able to capture that remnant of the demon race?"

"Foolish! Elder Lu is already in such a state, how could he possibly catch him? That demon must have escaped!"

Lu Qingfeng managed to squeeze in a conversation amidst the chatter of the crowd.

“That’s not…not a remnant of the demon race.”

His voice was weak and feeble, "I just... I just caught up with that black cat, and then I realized..."

At this point, without saying a word, tears welled up in her eyes.

"What happened to Elder Lu?"

Everyone became more and more curious.

"That black cat...it's actually my good-for-nothing little disciple—Tang Ling of the Ancient Banyan Academy of the Lingxian Sect!"

The cultivators were in an uproar.

"Is it Tang Ling, the one Elder Lu introduced after she left?"

"I remember now, isn't she that poisonous woman who poisoned Elder Kida at Zhenchao Pass?"

The crowd was chattering away, giving Lu Qingfeng a headache.

He never expected that his little disciple would become so famous in the Azure Cloud Continent, though not for a good reason.

It doesn't matter; the more famous he becomes, the less time he needs to explain.

How did she turn into a black cat?

Finally, someone brought up the key point.

Lu Qingfeng quickly took over the conversation, breaking the noisy atmosphere.

"The message talisman says that the third son... Elder Liu was seriously injured and died by Tang Ling."

"Tang Ling has only been cultivating for a few years, could it be... a sneak attack?" a cultivator immediately asked in confusion.

"When I first received the news, I couldn't believe it at all. I was eager to get here and see what was going on. I didn't expect that after catching up with the black cat and fighting with it, the black cat gradually revealed its human form. It really was..."

At this point, Lu Qingfeng deliberately paused, feigning deep sorrow, and even shed a few tears at the opportune moment.

Actually, these tears were genuine emotions, but they weren't for Tang Ling, but for Liu San.

The other cultivators offered words of comfort upon seeing this.

"But...why does Tang Ling possess such strength?" someone asked.

After all, Lu Qingfeng hadn't gotten to the point from the beginning.

"You may not know this, but the black cat's original form is actually one of the legendary four great magical beasts—the Dream Eater. I had dealings with it many years ago, and I never expected to see it again now."

Lu Qingfeng said, "Dream Eaters can attach themselves to a person's body and gradually devour their consciousness. Perhaps my little disciple's consciousness has already been devoured by Dream Eaters... or perhaps she was originally a Dream Eater in disguise..."

Everyone's expression changed.

"This...this...it's actually a dream eater!"

"No wonder he was able to kill so many people in such a short time."

"Our troops have been leaking information all along; it turns out there are spies among them!"

"But Dream Eaters are magical beasts, so why should they be enemies of the demon race?"

"I've heard that among the four great magical beasts, the Dream Eater is not close to any race, roams outside the Three Realms, and is unpredictable—perhaps killing so many people was just a spur-of-the-moment thing?"

"Then why did it run away when it saw us? It has killed so many people, why would it be afraid of a few of us?" Someone touched the cold sweat on their forehead in fear.

"The transmission talisman also said that the Dream Eater turned into a black cat because it lost too much spiritual power due to killing too many people in a short period of time," Lu Qingfeng said. "Everyone, the most urgent task right now is to take advantage of the Dream Eater's loss of spiritual power and issue a kill order in the human realm to kill the Dream Eater, so as to avoid a greater disaster!" Lu Qingfeng said.

Yes, that was his purpose.

Originally, he wanted to capture the Dream Eater, since it was the rarest magical beast in the world. Moreover, it was a beast, and for any cultivator, possessing and taming the Dream Eater was equivalent to possessing immense power, and could even dominate the world.

But that's impossible now.

Because Liu San and his identity have already been exposed in Tang Ling's mind.

He was unaware of any other connection between Dream Eater and Tang Ling, so he had no choice but to kill him to prevent future troubles.

"Today, I, Lu Qingfeng, will uphold justice even at the cost of family ties!"

He clenched his fist tightly.
