Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 114 Since they won't let me leave, I won't leave.

"You definitely don't want to get involved."

The Golden Bear Demon General gathered his thoughts and staggered as he climbed up from the small mountain of wine jars.

It patted its wet sleeves and looked at the beautiful woman: "Old Xu is planning to lend you a hand?"

"Um."

The Azure Nether Demon General nodded slightly and said softly, "He didn't carry the flag, so he doesn't need to get involved in this matter. I discussed it with him, and if the situation gets chaotic, he will help me take care of the people and demon soldiers in the mountains."

"If I die in battle at Yongzhou Pass, he will move these people to a safer place for me."

"But if things go smoothly, I need to ask the Cloud Dragon Demon Lord for a reward for his men..."

The beautiful woman paused, her face showing helplessness: "No, they are now under the command of the Moon Devouring Demon General. Anyway, they are helping those little guys get enough resources to sustain them until they form their cores."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiong chuckled: "He always says he'll retire after making one more fortune, but it turns out he's making it all for Xiao Yao. That old geezer."

The two walked slowly out of the wine cellar.

One after another, streaks of light swept over Qingming Mountain, heading towards the left peak under the leadership of the demon soldiers.

"I, Lei Yin, have come to congratulate the Moon-Devouring Demon General!"

"Dawn, I've come to congratulate you on your arrival."

"Shirakawa is here!"

Compared to the desolation of a few days ago, more than ten demon generals have arrived in just one afternoon. It can be said that everyone who could make it has come.

Perhaps out of remorse, these demon generals all brought generous gifts.

There were three corpses of the young immortal descendants alone.

The largest quantity of pills was found, along with a few magical artifacts.

Their previous avoidance was due to their distrust of this Moon-Eating Demon General.

But after Xu Zhonglin's death, all concerns naturally disappeared.

Lin Shu earned the greatest merit in the fight against the Demon Slayer Division, naturally winning the respect of all the demon generals.

However, they did not see the Moon Devouring Demon General in person.

At the desolate foot of Zuofeng Mountain.

The monkey was carefully polishing a brand-new demon flag.

This gaunt young man had lost all his former liveliness.

Even when faced with congratulations from the demon generals, he no longer howled excitedly as before.

"My lord, the demon general, has gone out on business and is not currently in the mountains. Please forgive him."

Xie Yutang bowed respectfully to the demons, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but these things..."

"Sigh, I understand."

Baihe Yaojiang nodded. The other party had just committed a crime and needed to lay low for a while.

It waved its sleeve and tossed the immortal descendant's corpse over, saying somewhat apologetically, "Why be so polite? Just consider it an apology for last time. When your demon general returns, please pass on our message."

Having said that, it had already soared into the sky and disappeared before the group of little demons could refuse.

"And please apologize to the Moon-Eating Demon General on our behalf."

The other demon generals followed suit, offering their items and then disappearing in a flash of light.

"Please accept this; it's all from their kind intentions."

The Azure Demon General strolled over, slowly came to a stop, and glanced at the Golden Bear.

"I've spent all the money I earn on spirit wine, and even my magical artifacts are still held by someone else; I haven't redeemed them yet."

The Golden Bear Demon General coughed twice: "I'm really short of money, really short of money... I'll owe you for now."

As he spoke, he opened the storage bag at his waist and shook it twice in front of everyone.

It was indeed completely empty.

"whee."

Seeing its appearance, the little demons couldn't help but chuckle.

Xie Yutang pursed her lips and had no choice but to put all the treasures into her storage bag.

She raised her head and bid farewell to the two demon generals: "By order of my demon general, we have other matters to attend to, so we will not disturb you any longer at Qingming Mountain. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days. Farewell."

According to Lord Lin, although they had not revealed their presence, it would be best to leave Qingming Mountain.

Firstly, it makes the target smaller, and secondly, it avoids implicating the Azure Nether Demon General.

"Um?"

Just as the beautiful woman was about to offer some words of advice, she suddenly raised her head.

Another streak of light approached, but it didn't come from the depths of the Demon Mountain; instead, it came from the other side towards the Azure Nether Mountain.

boom!

In an instant, a dull thud resounded as the heavy object crashed to the ground.

Amidst the swirling smoke and dust, even the mountainsides cracked open.

The figure stumbled to his feet, his face pale and covered in blood, his expression dazed yet also somewhat ferocious.

The old man swallowed the metallic taste in his mouth, then instinctively grabbed the nearest monkey, his voice soft and hoarse as he said, "Let's go... I'll take you to Yongzhou..."

"Grandpa Xu!"

Upon recognizing the person, the monkey's eyes suddenly reddened, and he cried out in alarm, "Who hurt you?"

The other lesser demons also changed their expressions drastically, looking somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

"Hurry up!" Old Xu suddenly roared.

However, his figure was blocked by the beautiful woman.

"How are you going to take them back to Yongzhou in this state?" The Azure Nether Demon General clenched his fist slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. "Still being stubborn at a time like this? You have to tell me what happened!"

boom.

Old Xu wanted to take another step, but suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Is the injury that serious?"

Jin Xiong's eyes widened in surprise as he noticed that the other man's knee had already been shattered by a heavy object.

Golden light emanated from the crack, suppressing Old Xu's demonic power.

"Ha!" The old man gasped for breath, struggling for a long time but unable to stand up. Finally, he said, "Fine, let them stay here for now. Send me out of Qingming Mountain first. My life blood and demonic energy have been taken by the Demon Slayer Division. I can't delay any longer."

"Here you go, thank goodness I didn't lose it."

As he spoke, the old man smiled wryly and took something out from the innermost part of his body, handing it to Xie Yutang.

It was a blood-stained storage bag containing the supplies he had exchanged with the Great Shun Dynasty.

"Please help me send these children out of Yongzhou Pass and let them escape on their own. If I survive this journey, I will repay you with my life."

"call."

The Azure Demon General took a deep breath.

She knew all too well how serious it was to have her lifeblood and demonic energy taken away.

As long as Lao Xu is alive, the Demon Slayer Division can follow the trail and catch up with him no matter what.

"We're not leaving." The monkey struggled to break free from the large hand's grip.

"Nonsense! Do you know what's about to happen? You scattered demons, caught in the middle, will only be crushed to dust." The old man was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of foul blood.

"They are no longer wandering demons," the Azure Nether Demon General suddenly said.

Then, the same words were heard from afar.

"We are not wandering demons!"

Lu Yun carried the carefully polished banner for the monkey, and the two characters "Devouring the Moon" in a flamboyant style caught Xu Lao's eye.

"With the demon flag leading the way, we'll protect you and escape together!" The bald man wiped away his tears.

"Who gave you permission to act recklessly?"

Old Xu was seriously injured and unable to actually break the monkey's leg. He sighed helplessly, "Did you really think that just making a flag spurred you to carry it?"

This is not child's play.

Suddenly, he heard the beautiful woman's voice again.

"It wasn't built just anywhere."

"This Moon-Devouring Demon Banner already bears the names of several immortal descendants, three Core Formation cultivators, and dozens of demon-slaying captains."

The Azure Nether Demon General let out a long breath, his face turning cold: "Setting up a flag outside the mountain, I'll give it a try. If you want to break through the gates of my Azure Nether Mountain, those lackeys of the immortals will have to leave some of their lives behind."

Even a clay figure has a touch of fire.

She doesn't cause trouble, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of trouble.

Which demon general doesn't risk their life? If they encounter trouble, their legs go weak. They would have died in the alchemy furnace long ago.

"..."

Old Xu turned around in a daze, staring at the scarlet flag.

He didn't quite understand what had happened during the time he was away.

"Send him to recuperate first."

After making the arrangements, the Azure Nether Demon General glanced at the burly man beside him and asked, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Tsk, it's fine if I didn't see him, but he just fell right in front of me with a thud. Would it be too cowardly for me to run away now?"

Jin Xiong smiled and winked, saying, "But you have to give me a suitable weapon, otherwise I'll be at a huge disadvantage in a fight."

"make a deal."

The Azure Demon General withdrew his gaze, his voice crisp: "Go ahead and fight. If you break one item, I'll replace it with three!"

In her mountains, there is no shortage of magical artifacts.

……

It was evening.

Yongzhou Pass, Shihu Inn.

Yu Sheng yawned repeatedly and slumped onto the table: "Lin Shu, how much longer are we going to stay here?"

"Little Mountain God, don't worry, it should be within the next three to five days."

"Steward Chen said respectfully."

He has already reported this matter to his superiors.

He also informed the immortal Qi Heng, who was stationed at Yongzhou Pass, that Yu Sheng's immortal descendant was about to come of age.

"Look, I've even prepared a carriage for you."

He pointed outside the inn.

There was a magnificent and luxurious carriage waiting there, ready for Yu Sheng to return to Yongzhou with his disciples once the transfer order came through.

"But before that, it seems that Immortal Qiheng wants to have a talk with you personally, since it involves Senior Brother Lin's promotion to the position of Head Disciple, which is something that has never happened in the Immortal Sect before."

At this point, a strange look flashed across Deacon Chen's eyes.

When Qiheng Xianren first arrived at Yongzhou Pass, his attitude towards Yu Sheng was evident to all.

But this little mountain god has shown some good potential.

Immortal Qiheng also subtly changed his attitude.

Rumor has it that the lineage of the Little Mountain Goddess in the clan seems to have been cut off, leaving only her as a posthumous child.

Since she came from Yongzhou Pass, Qiheng Immortal probably didn't want to miss this opportunity and wanted to gain a grown junior for free, so that his lineage could become more prosperous and strong.

While this move is somewhat regrettable, it can be considered a win-win situation.

"Alright!" Yu Sheng wasn't very interested in Yu Qiheng, but she was very interested in Lin Shusheng becoming the sect leader's disciple and taking her to Yongzhou to live a life of leisure and idleness.

"..."

Lin Shu flipped through the book recording strange tales and events in Yongzhou, then looked up at the carriage outside the inn.

Although I was somewhat reluctant to part with the Mountain God Mirror.

But under the increasingly dense warning of the tribulation clouds, he put away his little scheme.

The merits I've accumulated are enough for me to establish myself in Yongzhou, and I can now start investigating the matter of the missing heart.

Just then, two familiar faces walked into the inn.

The woman with the scar on her face was none other than Ruan Xiangling, a deputy general of the Demon Slayer Division, followed by Chang Yi.

"I have met the little mountain god."

She first politely bowed to Yu Sheng, then sat down at the table as if they were old friends: "Junior Brother Lin, we were just about to go back too. Would you like to come along? We can go and have a look around our Demon Slaying Division."

"It's still uncertain when we'll set off." Lin Shu stopped turning the pages of her book.

Having witnessed what happened outside the city lord's mansion, he realized that the Demon Slayer Division was not an impenetrable fortress.

Putting everything else aside, at least these brother and sister treated their subordinates as human beings.

After discovering that the Demon Mountain was dangerous and not a suitable place for training troops.

They summoned all the new recruits and stopped the other officers from using the group of constables as human spies.

"Okay, but don't get overwhelmed by the choices later."

Ruan Xiangling didn't press the matter further; she was simply there to make herself known: "If you want to join the Demon Slayer Division, remember to look for me, don't just go in directly."

"Hmm... there are quite a few tricks to it. If you get assigned to the other group, you're likely to be led astray by them."

She smiled meaningfully, but didn't say it too bluntly.

As fellow soldiers of the Demon Slayer Division, the question of whether to strive to maintain the stability of the Nine Prefectures or to covet a future and become a lackey of the immortals has persisted for many years without resolution.

Anyway, even now, the other side still has the upper hand.

For example, now, Hong Wei and others have become Yu Duchuan's honored guests.

He himself became a despicable and repulsive creature, someone everyone wanted to kick aside, and could only slink back to Yongzhou in disgrace.

"By the way, I quite like this kid. I'm planning to introduce him to my master. I heard you're from the same hometown, so you can get to know each other better. Maybe we'll even be colleagues in the future."

Disciples of immortals must address the immortals as "Master".

Ruan Xiangling called him "Master," which means there was someone else involved.

"Can you stop looking so terrified? What's past is past, what's there to be upset about? Is Junior Brother Lin any scarier than that Yu Duchuan?"

She patted Chang Yi on the shoulder: "Be very generous and open."

The consequence of not pleasing the immortal descendants is that one is rather poor, and apart from what is needed for cultivation, it is difficult to offer anything else to attract others.

Moreover, he was a highly sought-after top disciple in the trials.

Then they would have no choice but to use every possible means and leverage all the connections they could.

"I'll go arrange my return trip now, you guys continue chatting."

Ruan Xiangling stood up and headed towards the door.

Deacon Chen also stood up to say goodbye.

Once there were no more outsiders in the inn.

Yu Sheng finally raised his head and waved his sleeve to set up the newly learned soundproofing spell.

This little black-faced boy finally found a chance to be alone with Lin Shu, probably to ask about his aunt's whereabouts.

However, what the little chick didn't expect was...

Chang Yi still looked flustered, only his fingers moved quickly across the table.

"Those subordinate generals intercepted a demon general at the border, named Duan Yue. It is said that this demon is related to the Moon-Eating Demon General."

"They took its lifeblood and demonic energy."

"They are planning how to attack the Demon Mountain, and there may be action within the next day or two."

He didn't even touch the tea; he simply made rapid gestures with his fingertips.

If he were not a cultivator, an ordinary person would probably not be able to understand what he was writing.

Chang Yi didn't know if this information would be of any use.

He only knew that his aunt was in the Demon Mountain, so he tried his best to collect all the information about the Demon Slayer Bureau.

Fortunately, he was valued by Lieutenant General Ruan and kept by his side, which gave him more opportunities to talk to the general.

"..."

Lin Shu stared at the table and slowly closed the book in her hands.

His fair and handsome face revealed no emotion.

He merely raised his eyelids slightly: "I want to know how many people they've deployed, what arrangements they've made, and where they plan to launch a surprise attack."

"Um!"

Chang Yi nodded vigorously without hesitation.

Brother Lin did not grade his answer sheet.

But by assigning the task without offering any further reminders, he was in itself acknowledging his own shortcomings.

This indicates that, in the other party's eyes, he already possesses the ability to handle certain matters independently.

After thinking it over, a slightly childish smile appeared on the charcoal-faced man's face.

Chang Yi has never smiled like that since his aunt went missing.

Because he knew he had no one to rely on, he could no longer act like a child, and he had to keep everything buried in his heart.

Only at this moment could he relax for a little while.

The young man took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and turned to leave the inn.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"I don't understand at all."

Yu Sheng opened her eyes wide, puzzled, and asked, "Aren't we leaving?"

Lin Shu reached out and ruffled her hair: "Someone doesn't want me to leave."

He really couldn't understand it.

There are many demon generals in the Demon Mountain, and quite a few of them are ambitious and planning to make a big splash.

Why do these immortal descendants and their subordinates always pick on those who just want to live a peaceful and stable life?

From Gu Nanzhi to Chang Yi, then to that group of little demons, and finally to the Demon General Duan Yue.

They not only did not do anything bad, but they also kept saving lives, such as the people of Blackwater City and the laborers of White Tooth Mine.

As a result, none of them ended up well.

Is it really true that the kind-hearted are always bullied?

With his lifeblood taken, given the old man's personality, he certainly wouldn't want to burden others and would most likely flee alone.

But those meddlesome little demons probably won't just stand by and watch.

They're all a lot of troublesome people.

However, since they had already taken up the evil flag to make a quick buck, they couldn't just give up halfway through.

These were not scattered demons to be slaughtered at will, but his demon soldiers who devoured the moon.

"Oh, what should we do then?" Yu Sheng scratched his head.

She still didn't quite understand.

But no matter what, I'll just follow Lin Shu's arrangements.

"..."

Lin Shu put down her book and glanced at the luxurious carriages outside the inn.

The Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf was still hungry.

The internal laws urgently require a large amount of good deeds.

In this situation, someone suddenly grabbed him.

They were making it look like they wouldn't let us leave.

Thinking of this, a faint glint of malice flashed in Lin Shu's eyes.

Fortunately, there was still some time before the tribulation clouds descended, so he didn't mind having another meal.

Under Yu Sheng's watchful gaze.

The young man stood up, strolled upstairs, and casually said:

"Then I won't leave."
