Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 131 Enjoying Three Delicacies (Part 1)

At noon, outside the red walls and green tiles.

Dozens of magnificent, armored steeds galloped across the long street and came to a stop outside the gate of Qiankun Academy with great fanfare.

Under the astonished gazes of passersby and students.

Two captains jogged in unison and respectfully escorted a young man dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned sword robe out of the academy.

The moment the handsome young man walked out of the academy.

The senior and highly respected Lieutenant General Lu dismounted and bowed respectfully to the other party.

His voice was deep and resonant, carrying far and wide: "Now that demons are causing chaos, I am deeply grateful to Senior Brother Zhang for extending a helping hand to assist us in subduing them!"

After saying this, the middle-aged man with a square face and black beard turned around and personally led over a spirit horse, saying humbly, "Please, Senior Brother Headmaster, mount your horse."

"Jerky!"

The students, who were unaware of what was going on, all looked bewildered.

The fact that the Yu family had a new disciple who became the sect leader was not publicized, but rather deliberately concealed.

However, since Lin Shu already had a considerable reputation, many people still knew about this matter.

He also clearly understood the vast difference between himself, the disciple in charge of the mountain, and those who were truly disciples in charge of the mountain.

The Demon Slaying Division is under the control of the Qi family, and has always been at odds with the Yu family.

Given Lu Chengyu's status and cultivation level, it would be one thing to behave in private, but to act so humble in public, as if he valued this sect leader even more than the Yu family!

"They're still trying to kill you with praise."

The passing lecturer frowned slightly and glanced at him with considerable displeasure.

The position of Yu Shengxian's family as the deputy mountain is inherently unstable, so they should keep a low profile and accumulate resources and strength.

The Demon Slayer Division has elevated Master Lin to such a high position, bestowing upon him the prestige of a disciple of the sect leader. If he were to perform even slightly worse, wouldn't he be ridiculed instead?

Ultimately, Lin Shu was just a young junior who had just finished his trial.

He gained fame and status slightly above his actual ability simply because he performed too well.

The rule that one can be promoted to the position of sect leader after accumulating 10,000 merit points was set by many immortals. If they did not want to see anyone achieve this, they should have set the threshold higher in the first place.

Does it mean that someone is wrong to do well?

Why resort to such methods to embarrass him in front of everyone?

"..."

Lin Shu raised her eyelids slightly, and with a light leap, landed steadily on the horse's back.

He didn't even glance at the lieutenant, let alone say thank you. Although his expression was calm, it was as if arrogance was etched into his very bones.

In this way, Lu Chengyu, who had reached the perfect Core Formation stage, seemed to have truly become his groom.

Upon seeing this, the officers and lieutenants, after a brief moment of astonishment, all showed indignation on their faces.

"Heh."

Lu Chengyu stiffened slightly, clearly feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He licked his dry lips and handed the reins to the "mountain-guarding senior brother".

"General Lu..." a few people nearby couldn't help but speak up.

"Set off."

Lu Chengyu mounted his horse without changing his expression, and suddenly pulled on the reins. The magnificent horse reared up and let out a mournful cry!

He rode his horse at the forefront, and his eyes finally turned sinister.

Having lost face in the lecturer's courtyard yesterday, he barely managed to suppress his rage and planned to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Unexpectedly, this person took advantage of the situation and didn't say a few polite words in front of so many people, showing no respect whatsoever.

That's wonderful! That's wonderful!

Once we're out of the city, let's see if that scoundrel's flowing cloud sword robe can still protect him!

at the same time.

Lin Shu rode her horse leisurely, seemingly oblivious to the anger in everyone's expressions, and unaware of the danger lurking beneath the glamorous surface.

After all, who cares about a pile of ill-gotten gains secretly plotting something famous?

His gaze swept over the group of people.

A man surnamed Lu who has reached the Core Formation stage is worth at least six hundred taels of silver.

Six mid-stage Core Formation generals, even at a minimum of 300 taels each, would amount to 1,800 taels.

There are also five newly formed Core Formation captains; they're worth at least seven or eight hundred.

And then there are the dozens of captains responsible for searching the mountain...

Wow, this is almost equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator.

Killing them all might attract attention and be difficult to explain upon returning.

But the Demon Mountain is vast, and it's impossible for this group of people to stay together from beginning to end. I should be able to take the opportunity to eat half of them without any problem.

Lin Shu had even figured out how to eat it.

There are too many demon-slaying officers in Anren Prefecture.

The methods of the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord are too similar to those of the Qi family, so he probably wouldn't use them in public so easily.

The wolf cub's magic power was poured into the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet, and then the divided soul was used to control it.

In that case, what does it have to do with me, the sect leader disciple who is full of Azure Phoenix Immortal Power, to have these servants who died under such evil swords?

When exorcising demons, some damage is inevitable, so it's normal not to have won.

Lin was still recovering from serious injuries, but he did his best to kill a rogue demon, which was worthy of this outfit.

"Um?"

As her thoughts raced, Lin Shu suddenly noticed something amiss.

As the Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf grew, his divine soul also increased.

Its spiritual awareness is formidable, in no way inferior to those silver-eyed white wolf immortals who excel in spiritual power.

In addition, the Wind-Riding and Mountain-Patrolling Divine Power, even if its effectiveness is greatly reduced after leaving the mountains, can still resonate with the sound of the wind.

Combined, Lin Shu's sensing range is terrifyingly large.

Just after he left the academy, several unfriendly gazes followed him, and he could vaguely sense killing intent.

"That's interesting."

Lin Shu did not turn around, but a strange look appeared in her eyes.

He was new to the place and unfamiliar with the people and the land. Today was the first time he had left the courtyard, let alone offended anyone.

Who would be so bold as to harbor murderous intent towards the head disciple of the Yu family for no reason?

After a moment's thought.

Besides that group of wind-riding blue phoenixes, there don't seem to be any other candidates.

They're afraid they won't have enough to eat.

It seems the previously drafted plan can be revised again.

"call."

Lin Shu composed herself and quickly left Anren Prefecture City with the demon-slaying officers.

Time flies by, but the scenery before us remains the same: green hills and clear waters.

When he came from Dragon Ridge, he was lying on Yu Sheng's back and didn't notice anything.

Now, riding his spirit horse, he realized that the vastness of this world had far exceeded his comprehension.

Even riding a spirit horse, it would take several days to travel between the prefectural city and the county town below.

"exaggerate."

When Lin Shu saw Wuyang County with her own eyes, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Although it is called a county, this ancient city is obviously completely different from the county town he had in mind.

No wonder Blackwater City was sealed off for ten years and no one cared about it.

Those small counties bordering impoverished areas, with poor communication, probably don't attract much attention.

"Senior Brother Lin, we're almost there."

Lu Chengyu led his group directly around the magnificent city and headed towards Seven Star Mountain.

He already had extremely clear clues, so there was no need to go back to the county to investigate.

Now we are far from the city.

The lieutenants and captains all noticed the change in General Lu's words; he had subtly omitted the words "guardian of the mountain."

A strange smile appeared on everyone's lips.

No matter which sect you belong to, once you enter Demon Mountain, that is the territory of the Demon Slayer Division.

Let alone this fake sect leader, even the real sect leader disciples in the immortal sect, if they want to enter the world to temper their character and need to deal with demons, they must first ask the Demon Slayer Division for advice before doing anything.

Only they are the cultivators who truly understand demons!

"Follow me."

Lu Chengyu dismounted and gazed at the tranquil mountains before him.

He suddenly changed to a rather strange gait, with a spiritual light emanating from his boots, leading everyone to pace back and forth on the flat ground.

As he slowly came to a stop, the mountains in front of him suddenly rippled, and a towering, continuous mountain ridge appeared out of nowhere.

"General Lu has excellent skills; he easily broke through the formation of the Demon Mountain!" The lieutenants and captains praised him.

"Hehe."

Lu Chengyu chuckled, clearly pleased.

Lin Shu looked around. His understanding of formations was still limited to the concealment formation left by Yu Sheng in the dilapidated courtyard, and the blood spirit stone formation set up by the Zhao family disciples.

It can use a magic array to conceal such a massive mountain ridge out of thin air.

The demons that dared to remain in the Nine Palaces were indeed quite capable.

If he hadn't known the truth, he might have been surprised by Lu Chengyu's methods, but after hearing Lao Xu's explanation... wasn't this just someone selling the method to enter Seven Star Mountain to the Demon Slaying Division?

"Lin Shu, although you are the head of the Yu family and have a noble status, you are still here on behalf of the Martial Academy. Since this is about slaying demons, it would be better to clarify the relationship."

Lu Chengyu turned around and said slowly, "The Demon Slaying Division and the Martial Academy have different styles of operation and are not familiar with each other. They have always acted separately and performed their respective duties."

He waved his hand lightly, and spiritual energy manifested into a clear map in mid-air.

"Seven Star Mountain has three exits. Considering you are alone, I could have taken care of two of them. You only need to guard this last one."

"As long as you don't let the demon soldiers and demon civilians escape, I will truthfully recount your achievements upon our return to Anren Prefecture."

"Is this arrangement reasonable?"

Lu Chengyu's words caused the expressions of those around him to change.

Weren't we supposed to give this guy a hard time and completely shatter his false reputation? Why did we get assigned such an easy task?

Is the head disciple of the Yu family only responsible for guarding against the demon soldiers?

This was arranged by General Lu himself, which was tantamount to giving this person a way out, so as not to ruin his reputation.

"Reasonable."

Lin Shu glanced at the detailed map in mid-air.

The moment we stepped into the Demon Mountain, their defenses were thoroughly discovered.

Exorcising demons this way is quite easy.

He shook his head and turned to walk into the deep mountains.

"General Lu, has the higher-ups changed their minds?"

After the young man's figure disappeared into the mountains and forests, the officers finally asked suspiciously, "We've worked so hard to exorcise the demon, why is he getting all the credit?"

"Benefiting from the situation?"

Surrounded by his trusted confidants, Lu Chengyu's expression darkened, and he finally let out a sneer: "That road was left by me for Fei Huang."

"Locusts?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and a hint of fear instinctively crossed their faces.

They originally thought that following General Lu was just to deal with a few unknown demon generals, but how did they end up involving this ferocious demon!

Even among demon generals, there are differences in their strength.

The method of judgment is very simple.

The Demon-Slaying Ranking includes a total of one hundred powerful demons.

Excluding the Demon King and the Demon Lord, there are fewer than sixty spots left. Anyone who can make it onto the list is one of the top three most powerful generals under the Demon Lord.

The name of the Flying Locust Demon General has been on that list for many years.

It was once the most trusted general of the Azure Sea Demon Lord.

As its name suggests, the demon is cruel by nature, regarding human life as worthless. When it strikes, it is like a locust swarm passing through, leaving nothing but desolation.

Without the intervention of a Golden Core cultivator, it would be virtually impossible to kill such a powerful demon.

"Of course I will not kill him."

"But I'm really curious, after I rescued him and dragged him back to Qiankun Academy like a dead dog in front of everyone, will this esteemed senior brother who leads the academy still have the face to wear that flowing cloud sword robe?"

Lu Chengyu murmured, a vicious smile spreading across his lips.

He dared to make himself a horse-riding servant.

He was determined to stomp this arrogant brat into the mud so he would never be able to rise again.

"Walk."

Lu Chengyu let out a breath of stale air, arranged for the captains to guard the other two exits, and then led his trusted lieutenants along the pre-prepared route.

After having a grasp of the deployment in advance.

The entire ridge was quiet, and no demons noticed that the people from the Demon Slayer Division had already stepped into the depths of the Demon Mountain.

……

Inside the Seven Star Mountain Cave.

The eight demon generals sat on either side, their expressions complex.

In the main seat sat a young man dressed in hemp clothing, swaggering back in his chair.

He smiled broadly, gently stroking the armrest: "Tsk, how nostalgic. Back then, I sat in a position just like this, leading you all in the battle. Ling Liu, you were just a little demon soldier back then."

"..."

The pretty girl lowered her eyes slightly, and after a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Feihuang, since you still have feelings for us, what do you want from us to let us go?"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense."

The locust demon raised his palm, his smile widening: "I didn't do anything to you. I just wanted to see how you would lead more than 70,000 demons to escape into the deep mountains now that the immortals are planning to purge the demons."

"If you hadn't been causing trouble here, we would have left long ago!" The white-haired old man looked on angrily.

If the eight of them worked together, they could at least force the locusts back, if not kill them.

However, this person knows Seven Star Mountain inside and out, and has long known where the demon people are hiding. Once he makes a move, it will only take a short time for most of the 70,000 demon people to die or be injured.

Several demon generals planned to lead the demon people to flee far away.

The locusts followed relentlessly, like a persistent carbuncle, impossible to shake off no matter what.

"You're bringing up the demon people again. You still can't forget what happened in the past." The demon general Ling Liu glanced at him, her eyes slightly red.

When they were still little demons, Fei Huang was already a powerful demon general, like a brother and father to them, and was respected by everyone. But now he has become like this.

"Of course I can't forget it."

Feihuang laughed loudly, his voice filled with anger: "I risked my life for that woman, going to a major county to ambush the immortal descendants. I only accidentally killed a few mortals, and she wants to banish me? Why should I forget?!"

"No, you didn't do it unintentionally."

The demon general Lingliu slowly stood up and corrected him, "After you killed the immortal descendant, you attacked the houses on your way out of pure anger."

"It wasn't just a few lives, but a total of over 17,000 people."

She suddenly roared in a low voice, "That's the homeland of many brothers and sisters in the mountains before they were banished to become demons!"

Just because the other party was injured, just because they wanted to solidify their reputation as the Locust King and to make their ferocity even greater, they committed this massacre.

This is incredibly brutal; it's chilling.

"oh."

Faced with the girl's overwhelming anger.

The locust demon was silent for a moment, then suddenly licked its lips and shrugged nonchalantly: "So what?"

He calmly stood up, walked to Ling Liu, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her hair, pulling her red-rimmed face close to his, their eyes meeting.

"You are kind-hearted, rescuing all the relatives and friends of these little demons from the hands of the immortals and bringing them back to the mountains, where they became demon people."

The locust demon said with a playful smile, "When the demon-slaying blade cuts off their heads, I hope they will still be grateful to you."

He abruptly shoved Ling Liu aside, scoffing repeatedly: "I also hope that when that bitch Bi Hai hears the news of your deaths, she won't remember that she once had a valiant general like me, and she won't think she did anything wrong."

"The Demon Lord is not wrong." Suddenly, someone stood up.

"..."

Feihuang paused, then slowly turned around, his eyes turning cold: "Is that so?"

He actually still has things to do.

The situation within the Nine Prefectures is currently extremely tense.

In order to survive, he needed to have enough information channels to avoid being hunted down by the Demon Slayer Division.

In exchange for this information, Fei Huang dared not meet with the people from the Demon Slayer Division.

However, he was willing to offer his loyalty and help the lieutenant solve some minor troubles in exchange for the other party only taking away the monster's corpse and leaving behind the supplies that were useless to cultivators.

As for what kind of minor trouble it might be... perhaps severely injuring a so-called leader who is not worthy of the title?

However, before leaving, he suddenly wanted to do something interesting.

The locust demon general grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "How about this? If you admit that the vile woman was wrong, I will immediately leave and no longer keep an eye on those demon people. Would you like to consider it?"

"You..." Ling Liu's face flushed red.

The other demon generals also glared angrily at this person.

Just then, a voice of approval rang out from inside the cave.

"She did make a mistake; she shouldn't have banished you from the mountain."

The eight demon generals looked at each other in bewilderment; this voice was not from them.

They quickly turned around, their pupils then contracting: "Duan Yue?!"

At the entrance of the cave, in addition to the elderly man who had been received a few days ago, there was also a handsome young man dressed in a flowing cloud sword robe.

The words just now clearly came from the latter.

What truly terrified everyone was that the demon general Duan Yue, whom they had treated with such care, had brazenly brought a disciple of the Yu family's mountain-heading sect into Seven Star Mountain!

"You certainly know how to talk."

Fei Huang was also puzzled as to why the two, whose statuses were so different, would stand together.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Since he could betray these wicked beasts, other demon generals could naturally do the same.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why this Broken Mountain Demon General was so bold as to appear in front of the immortal disciples instead of contacting them through an intermediary.

Never mind, it has nothing to do with me.

The Flying Locust Demon General twisted his neck and mocked, "But to think you can please me with just a few words is a bit of a pipe dream."

For the sake of the provisions from Seven Star Mountain,

Since they've come to us, it saves us the trouble of looking for them.

A ferocious look appeared on his face, and his boundless demonic power raged and swept across, instantly engulfing the entire cave.

This ferocious demon, listed on the demon-slaying list, shed all its laziness the moment it made its move.

"Die!"

The locust let out a long howl, and with a flick of its fingers, its entire body suddenly stretched out, like thousands of ghostly shadows, attacking from all directions.

The demon generals of Seven Star Mountain were still in a daze.

They had no idea what was going on when the locusts attacked the sect leader disciple.

With its powerful demonic energy surging wildly, this ferocious demon's cultivation progress did not slow down at all after being expelled from the mountain gate; in fact, it was even greater than before.

He has already transcended the category of demon general and is almost on par with you!

But under the horrified gazes of the demons, the young man stood quietly in place.

Only when the shadowy figure reached him did the man finally make a move.

The opponent did not mobilize any immortal power, nor did they even draw their magic sword.

The signature sword cries of the Yu family were not heard inside the cave.

He simply lifted his foot casually, and amidst the fluttering of his clothes, the spotless sole of his boot precisely imprinted itself on the lower abdomen of the Flying Locust Demon General.

The entire process was completely silent, and there was absolutely no alarming display.

"..." The locust demon general was stunned in mid-air.

His lips trembled rapidly, clearly wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The immense, ocean-like force did not leak out in the slightest, but instead tore his body apart with overwhelming force.

Faced with this pure power, the demonic energy within him seemed utterly ridiculous, and the Immortal Abode of Mountains and Seas was instantly annihilated.

Immediately afterwards, the figure shattered before everyone's eyes!

pat!pat!

Dozens of pieces of rotten flesh were splattered on the cave walls, and the still grinning head was thrown out and crashed onto the main seat with a thud.

His face was still smiling, but his dull eyes held an indescribable fear and helplessness.

This expression clearly shows that the locust had no idea what was happening before it encountered a deadly terror!

The rampant demonic power quietly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Rotten flesh continued to fall from the wall, and the stench of blood quickly filled the air, reminding the demons that what they had just witnessed was not an illusion.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their victims; the one who kills a mere mortal is rewarded with six hundred taels of silver."

"She should have just killed you."

Lin Shu calmly walked to the main seat, picked up the head, put it into her storage bag, and finished speaking the words she hadn't finished earlier.

Apart from that sentence, the entire cave was completely silent.

Even the bravest demon general, Ling Liu, was now slumped in his seat, trembling like a quail.

The other demon generals also felt their legs go weak.

The demons are all people who risk their lives; they wouldn't be so terrified by the sight of someone dying tragically.

The problem is that what they are seeing is beyond their comprehension.

Everyone says that the disciples of the mountain master are terrifying, but the mountain master of a half-life immortal is even more so.

But only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know just how terrifying it can be!

With just one kick, the young man extinguished the fighting spirit of the demons, so much so that they dared not even entertain the slightest thought of resistance.
