Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 112 They Won't Let Me Leave?

There was a lot of illicit silver, totaling 650 taels.

However, when it comes to pouring it in, there must be a specific order.

The most important one is definitely the Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf.

Although his soul magic was countered by the Demon Slayer Division's magical artifacts and armor, Lin Shu had never intended to fight this group to the death.

Even if he wanted to make money through good deeds and bad deeds, why would he target the most powerful violent organization in Yongzhou?

It was all because of that captain named Gong Yue who had to impulsively hang Chang Yi up, which then led to the appearance of those little demons.

Lin Shu was new to the area and didn't know many people.

The other party, however, simply waved their hand and they were all surrounded.

This inexplicably ignited a fire within him, and he became so emboldened that he decided to go all the way.

The matter is now resolved.

Lin Shu felt that her hands and feet were still clean and her identity had not been exposed, so there was no need to continue to get entangled with the Demon Slayer Division.

It doesn't matter if the Moon-Eating Demon is put on the Demon-Slaying List, but I can't afford to get that stigma myself.

If we exclude the heavily armed lieutenants of the Demon Slayer Division, the Divine Soul Techniques are incredibly useful for the other cultivators.

Not only does it kill silently and is difficult to guard against, it also has its own illusion magic to conceal the environment and make no big noise.

It's practically essential for murder and robbery.

Moreover, the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord is already very close to the mid-stage of Core Formation, so while improving its immortal techniques, it can also help the wolf grow stronger.

"Let's get through this hurdle first."

Lin Shu made up her mind and began to pour the evil silver into the wolf lord's body.

The technique hasn't even been deduced yet.

The brat immediately ate a full fifty taels of silver to replenish the energy he had used in the previous fight.

"If I borrow your magic again, I'll just..."

Seeing that most of Feng Yinglong was gone, Lin Shu felt a pang of heartache in her eyes and subconsciously clenched her fists.

He gritted his teeth, but still didn't finish the sentence, and transferred another three hundred taels of silver.

With a massive amount of ill-gotten gains at its disposal, the middle-grade level checkpoint was easily breached.

[Sixth Grade Core Formation. Taiyin Blood Illumination: Perfected]

As Lin Shu felt the immortal technique gradually becoming more and more perfect, she turned her gaze to the little wolf cub.

No, this behemoth, which is as tall as my chest when it's lying on the ground, can hardly be called a "baby" anymore.

Perhaps because he had been fed too much before, he did not use up the three hundred taels of silver after breaking through the barrier, and still had about eighty taels left.

Lin Shu sat on the edge of the bed and tossed the coins over one by one.

Finally, it seemed that the Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf had broken through a certain critical point.

With a low growl, its muscles bulged again, and its body became even more robust.

Mid-stage Core Formation!

The silver ingot, which was already flying in the air, was rolled back by the sleeve, and the Filthy Moon Wolf Master bit into empty air.

"Waaah..."

It stared blankly at the young man for a moment, knowing that there was no hope for today, and could only obediently crawl back.

It's not that Lin Shu is stingy.

He was so meticulous in his calculations because what he had left was just enough to break through the Body Tempering Technique.

The remaining 350 taels of silver transformed into black light and surged toward the golden lion statue.

Beneath the dark blue robe, Lin Shu's blood boiled, and crimson mist surged from his pores, causing his muscles and bones to undergo a transformation.

[Seventh Grade Core Formation. Mad Lion Blood Burning Technique: Perfected]

[Sixth Grade Core Formation. Mad Lion Blood Burning Technique: Perfected]

He broke through two checkpoints in a row, using a body tempering method rooted in violent blood energy.

Despite being protected by the "Guardian of Origin" spiritual root, Lin Shu remained conscious under the intense pain, but a trace of killing intent still arose in her heart.

The genuine sense of power brought about by this dramatic change in physique is more captivating than the enhancement of spiritual power.

He was in the early stage of Core Formation using the Inner Method, in the middle stage of Core Formation using the Body Tempering Method, and had the Wolf Lord's powerful magic.

He then had the idea of ​​changing "minor repair" to "major repair".

"call."

Lin Shu exhaled a hot, crimson breath and shook her head to dispel distracting thoughts.

He carefully familiarized himself with his body, which had suddenly gained immense power, and also began to digest the information about internal techniques in his mind.

Unlike Foundation Establishment, Core Formation Realm doesn't have valuable things like spiritual roots, but that doesn't mean it can be passed through casually.

If you don't pay attention to the intricacies involved...

Finally, when it comes to the time to attain the Golden Core stage, it will give the cultivator the coldest answer.

……

The next day, the sky was clear again.

Yu Sheng no longer cries and fusses like a child trying to find an adult because of the changes in her body.

She knew that the warmth filling her body was because Lin Shu was regulating her breathing again.

From a congenitally deformed fetus to a robust and healthy adult immortal, it all stems from the essence and blood she gave away back then.

"I want to eat a lot of rice." She held a porcelain bowl bigger than her face and gulped down the white porridge.

"Why?" Yan Jin peeled the egg for her.

"Because I need to be strong so I can fight for Lin Shu."

Yu Sheng put down the large bowl and let out a long, satisfied burp with her delicate and beautiful face: "Burp!"

"..."

Yan Jin smiled, handed over the white and tender egg, and casually wiped the grains of rice from the corner of the immortal's mouth.

She didn't tell the other party that the immortal offspring couldn't grow by eating these things.

Because she didn't know what the immortal descendants should eat.

Almost all of the Crimson Heart Flowers planted in the medicinal fields near Shihu City ended up in the mouths of cultivators.

It seems that no matter which family's mistress it is, they never touch these things.

They ate inherited spiritual light in their infancy.

But the inspiration did not arise out of thin air; it came from the elders of the clan.

What do these elders of the immortal family eat?

This seems to be a taboo subject, and no one has ever paid attention to it.

"I have already conveyed to Deacon Chen your intention to leave Yongzhou Pass. He said that with your current achievements, you are qualified to exchange them for a decent territory, perhaps a few populous counties or a prosperous port."

"Of course, if you want to take a position in the imperial court, the Yu family should be able to arrange it, at least a sixth-rank official position."

As she spoke, Yan Jin sighed with emotion.

This is the exalted status of the immortals.

Even if they have just come of age, they can be granted fiefdoms in large counties or serve in prefectural cities, in charge of the life and death of millions of people.

"I don't understand, another bowl, please." Yu Sheng blinked and handed over the porcelain bowl.

"Well."

Yan Jin didn't quite understand either. She stood up and was about to go to the kitchen.

Outside the inn, Deacon Chen walked in with a strange expression: "Little Mountain God, what you told me earlier might have to be put on hold."

"what?"

Yu Sheng looked over in confusion: "Can't I leave?"

Just then, Fan Qingyang stepped out from behind the steward, cupping his hands in a slightly apologetic gesture: "Uncle-Master Yu Sheng, Master has summoned all the Yu family's immortal descendants for a meeting, and asked me to pass on a message to you."

"..."

Yan Jin stopped in her tracks, suddenly realizing that Senior Fan's expression looked somewhat familiar.

She felt just as awkward and embarrassed when her master pushed her out.

They even called him "Uncle-Master" in advance?

That statement must have been really harsh.

"Master said."

Fan Qingyang looked bitter and kept swallowing, as if his mouth was dry: "When Yongzhou was safe, you tried your best to snatch food from your older brother and sister. Now that there's a problem, you immediately want to run away."

"You, you don't even deserve to be... a member of the Yu family?"

After saying that, he subconsciously covered his face with his hand. He had been watching Feng Yinglong get slapped earlier.

To Fan Qingyang's surprise, the lobby was very quiet.

Yu Sheng didn't seem angry.

She could tell, of course, that this disciple had been forced to come and deliver a message.

Besides that, what good are the Yu family?

Who wants to be a member of the Yu family?

Chicks can hold grudges.

Even now, she has never forgotten how terrified and desperate she felt when she stood in front of that group of people in that dilapidated courtyard.

From the moment Lin Shu stood on the street with her elbow in hand, blocking those luxurious carriages, she was already a member of the Lin family.

"Okay! Got it."

Yu Sheng stood up and muttered to Yan Jin, "He even had people stop me from seeing what was going on earlier. How shameless."

"Cough cough."

Yan Jin choked.

Everyone present was a cultivator, and Fan Qingyang had obviously already heard it.

"Let's go take a look."

Yu Sheng strode forward with a carefree air.

Watching the spectacle is fine, but asking me and Lin Shu to help annihilate the Moon-Devouring Demon General is absolutely out of the question.

Don't even think about it!

"I'll go too."

At this moment, Lin Shu slowly walked down the stairs.

Yu Duchuan may sound nice as a city lord, but in reality he's just an adult immortal descendant. If Yu Sheng simply reveals his cultivation level, what right does he have to stop her from doing anything?

But it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

Let's take a look at how Chang Yi is doing.

This kid's recent performance has far exceeded Lin Shu's expectations.

……

Among the green hills outside the city lord's mansion, there is a flat and wide cliff.

However, with so many people present, it didn't feel particularly empty.

Yu Duchuan sat at the head of the table, with seven seats arranged to his right. Those who were qualified to sit there were all adult immortal descendants like him.

A total of eight people governed 107 earthen cities in Yongzhou Pass.

Beside this group stood many young men and women dressed in blue feather robes, about forty in total.

These are all the descendants of the Yu family who remained in Yongzhou Pass.

"Tsk."

Someone in the room glanced at Yu Duchuan sideways.

Clearly, he was not convinced that the other party was sitting in the main seat and acting as if he was in charge.

They're really making a mountain out of a molehill!

Uncle Qiheng's intention in having this person sweep away the demons was to give an explanation for the deaths of Yu Qing and Yu Kui.

Either capture the Moon-Eating Demon General, or slay two other demon generals.

The corpse was hung up to demonstrate the dignity of the Yu family.

This is tantamount to warning the demons what price they will pay for messing with the Yu family!

Looking at Yu Duchuan's current posture, it seemed as if he was about to sweep away the demon mountain and kill all the dozens of demon generals.

The other party had been eagerly anticipating this opportunity, and finally got their chance to shine, intending to secretly overshadow them.

The result was that things went wrong, and then someone else had to come and clean up the mess. It was absolutely hilarious.

"..."

Yu Duchuan sat silently, looking at the seat to his right.

The nine deputy generals of the Demon Slayer Division had different expressions; some had a cold look on their faces, while others were indifferent.

More than two hundred captains stood solemnly, and behind them were nearly a thousand new recruits and constables.

Everyone was recalled from Demon Mountain.

"call."

Yu Duchuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground in front of him.

These people all had their wrists bound, and their faces were haggard, clearly indicating that they had not eaten or drunk anything.

His voice turned icy: "General Xu and his officers have all disappeared, and you, as his subordinates, have fled back in such a panic... Who gave the order?"

Under the oppressive aura of an adult immortal descendant comparable to a Core Formation cultivator.

The constables were all trembling, not daring to lift their heads. A timid voice came from the crowd: "I don't know, I saw everyone running, so we all ran together."

The others quickly nodded in agreement, clearly unwilling to name anyone.

"Trying to play the 'law doesn't punish the masses' trick with me?" Yu Duchuan's lips curled into a ferocious smile.

He had utterly lost face. Rather than waiting for others to laugh at him, he simply invited this group of people over, not giving them a chance to chat privately.

Then, resolve the problem swiftly and decisively.

These servants were the first thing he needed to establish his authority over.

"I gave the order."

Just then, a man with a dark, charcoal-like face slowly raised his head, his expression unchanged, his voice calm: "I sensed a vast demonic aura sweeping in, and judging that we were no match for it, I released the command arrow to minimize our losses."

Upon hearing this, the other recruits stared blankly, looking dazed.

"You judge that we are no match for them?"

Yu Duchuan almost laughed in anger, slowly standing up: "You're just a minor cultivator who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, when did it become your place to judge?"

Amidst this horrifying questioning.

A weak voice suddenly drifted out from the crowd: "You know we are just novice cultivators who haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet."

Yu Duchuan's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned his cold gaze to Wang Hong: "Insolence!"

Just then, a lazy voice suddenly came from the right.

A spirited woman, clad in black armor and bearing a scar on her face, sat in a chair with one foot resting on the seat and a wild fruit in her hand.

"Excuse me for interrupting."

This woman is named Ruan Xiangling, and she is the same lieutenant who switched directions with Xu Zhonglin earlier.

She was supposed to go to Stone Lake City.

She casually took a bite of the wild fruit and spat out the skin: "Mountain God of the Ferry, you don't seem to be working for my Demon Slaying Division, so why are you interrogating my Demon Slaying Division's servants?"

"..."

Yu Duchuan's face hardened slightly as he looked at the woman with a hint of hostility, then his gaze fell on the muscular man beside her.

Although the Ruan siblings worked for the Demon-Slaying General of Anren Prefecture, they had also learned their skills under the command of the Demon-Slaying Division Commander.

Aside from being apprenticed to the Qi family, the general in charge of the Demon Slaying Division of Yongzhou was also considered a half-master to these brother and sister.

"I'm worried because General Xu's whereabouts are currently unknown," he casually explained.

"He's not missing, he's dead. Isn't it a bit unnecessary to worry about him now?" Ruan Xiangling turned around and corrected her seriously.

"Xiangling, why are you talking to the mountain god of Duchuan?"

The old lieutenant frowned and looked over. His name was Hong Wei, and he was the most senior among the nine lieutenants.

As he spoke, he looked at the group of constables and said calmly, "The mountain god is right. These people are perfunctory and cowardly by nature, especially this Captain Chang. He has only just been promoted and has already acted in such a way. Naturally, he deserves..."

Just then, a previously weak voice in the crowd seemed to finally be unable to hold back any longer.

It's bad enough that the descendants of the Yu family are bullying them, but now even the deputy general of the Demon Slaying Division is treating them this way!

"Should I...?" Wang Hong suddenly sat up, his face flushed, and roared in a broken voice, "Should I be killed?"

"Come, come, come."

He craned his neck forward: "I've had enough. First they used their own people as bait, and then they pushed us to the front to be human spies."

"They make us bear all the risks! Damn it, they blame us when they can't win in the end."

"They promised a reward for finding the demon general, but the reward was just tying us up, locking us up for a whole day and night, without giving us a drop of water!"

Wang Hong's unrestrained roars quickly infected the thousands of constables present.

He pointed at Chang Yi with his bound hands: "Come on! Chop him up first. Anyway, his father is just a worthless magistrate of Blackwater City. He can't cause any trouble. Then chop up this young master. Our Wang family is useless. We're just salt peddlers."

The young man turned back and pointed at them one by one: "This one, his father is just a poor supervisor, only a seventh-rank official. And that one, that one should also be killed. His father is even less capable, he can only make a living by working for the Yu family on the river!"

Wang Hong couldn't remember the Demon Slayer's abilities.

But they could readily answer any question about what their colleagues' families did.

The hundreds of constables were all from respectable families in Yongzhou.

Any one of them, taken individually, is nothing but a fart in front of the Demon Slayer Division, but too many farts can be pungent.

"..."

Hong Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, his face darkening.

Once you join the Demon Slayer Division, no matter what your past was, you must completely obey orders, regardless of life or death.

But this was during the demon-slaying.

If we want to behead all these escaped constables, we need to have a good reason to shut them up.

"We've searched for the Qi, and we've found the demon general."

Wang Hong looked miserable: "The most absurd thing is that we've already tried to persuade him, and even Chang Yi could see that there was something fishy going on. We told him not to go in and to come back and discuss it slowly."

"That Xu rambled on and on, talking a lot of nonsense, and then rushed in and lost his life. Can we blame us for that?"

"puff."

Ruan Xiangling couldn't help but laugh out loud, stuffing wild fruit into her mouth and forcefully patting the black armor on her chest.

She never expected that this charcoal-faced man would actually try to persuade Xu Zhonglin.

That makes it even more interesting.

"Xiangling".

Ruan Changfeng glared at her.

Even within the Demon Slayer Division, the two factions disliked each other due to differing ideologies.

However, one should not mock a colleague who has fallen at the hands of a demon in front of everyone.

"It wasn't intentional."

Ruan Xiangling waved her hand: "It's mainly because the way this kid is describing things is so funny."

Chang Yi slowly stood up and said seriously, "My fellow generals, I only received two orders: first, to search for the demon, which we have already completed; and second, to issue a warning, which I did indeed issue."

"This subordinate has not received orders to fight the demon."

"These colleagues are all newcomers who have only recently joined the Demon Slaying Division. We are not strong enough, and are only minor cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. Our only thought is how to survive and bring the message back to warn the other generals to avoid being harmed by that demon."

"If one has to recklessly rush to one's death, then all of us must be buried with General Xu to be considered to have fulfilled our duty."

"Then I confess my guilt."

The dark-faced boy let out a long breath, stood silently in place, and stopped arguing.

Ruan Xiangling threw away the wild fruit and looked over with slight surprise.

This kid is surprisingly calm and speaks clearly and logically even in this situation.

They're quite bold.

"..."

Chang Yi remained silent as he endured the scrutiny of the crowd.

The experience of that mountain god of the river crossing was clearly inferior to that of Xu Zhonglin.

Instead of separating them into different prisons, they were given the opportunity to discuss the matter with Wang Hong.

One person was responsible for explaining the background of the new recruits, while the other was responsible for explaining their responsibilities and reasons.

While kneeling, Chang Yi had made a point of observing the expressions of his many lieutenants.

They did not let go of any opportunity that could save a life.

Throughout the entire process, he never looked anywhere.

But he knew that a young man was quietly watching him, observing his behavior.

Brother Lin was right beside me.

This is Chang Yi's first answer sheet to those three lessons from back then.
