Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 134 How dare you collude with demons?

In the lush and dense mountain forest.

A rainbow flashed by and disappeared in an instant.

The woman hovered in the air, her face exquisite and aloof, wearing a jade hair crown in the shape of deep blue waves, and a loose long robe that covered her curvaceous figure.

She coldly swept her gaze across the empty Seven Star Ridge below, where the array she had personally set up had vanished without a trace.

A fleeting killing intent flashed across those narrow eyes.

But soon, the Azure Sea Demon Lord sensed something was amiss. She looked at the place where the demons were hiding and found that not only were there no corpses strewn everywhere, but the traces had been cleaned up extremely well.

It gave the impression of an orderly evacuation.

"..."

The Azure Sea Demon Lord closed his eyes slightly and gently made hand seals.

After a careful search, she darted out again, her eyes scanning the mountains intently.

After a long while, she finally saw the orderly procession moving forward in the lush forest.

Tens of thousands of demons, under the command of the demon soldiers, quickly retreated into the deep mountains.

Seeing this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"What happened?"

With a slight step, the demon lord appeared before the numerous demon generals.

Anren Prefecture is not like the border region; it's impossible for all the demons to gather in one place.

The target is too big; if there is even the slightest problem, it is easy to be caught in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Seven Star Mountain was just one of her strongholds. She only came to check it out after she happened to escape from there and discovered something was wrong.

"Lord Bihai!"

Ling Liu exclaimed with delight, "You're back!"

The other demon generals also bowed and then reported in detail: "That traitor Fei Huang betrayed all the information about Seven Star Mountain to the Demon Slaying Division. Not only that, he also entered the mountain and used the demon people to coerce us."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Sea Demon Lord clenched his fist slightly and said coldly, "This lord is still too soft-hearted."

Remembering that Fei Huang had saved many demons, she couldn't bring herself to kill him. She simply drove him away, and they became strangers from then on.

If something similar happens again, we can simply and decisively kill them without having to consider past relationships.

"So, how did you escape?" she asked the demons, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"We previously received a demon general who came from another prefecture."

Ling Liu said with a face full of relief, "His demon lord also passed through Anren Prefecture. After learning about this, he personally came to Seven Star Mountain. He not only killed the flying locusts and the demon-slaying officers, as well as several immortal disciples, but also stayed in the mountain and guarded us until we left before leaving."

"Which demon lord is it?"

The Azure Sea Demon Lord paused for a moment, and the weariness in his eyes lessened slightly.

Now that all the demons are struggling to survive, and with the news that the leaders of the Qi and Yu families are about to enter the mortal world, people are filled with anxiety. It is truly remarkable that a demon lord is willing to lend a helping hand.

"I don't know, that demon lord didn't leave behind a title... but he was incredibly powerful!"

The demon generals looked on with anticipation and began to recount their previous experiences.

Lingliu added softly, "And she's exceptionally good-looking."

"You little rascal."

The Azure Sea Demon Lord glanced at the girl helplessly.

In fact, it is difficult to judge the strength of a demon lord based on the words of the demon generals.

After all, their vision is too limited; they cannot understand the differences between Golden Core cultivators and can only make the most basic inferences based on what they see with their naked eyes.

With the Golden Core realm, there's no need to unleash a powerful immortal technique to deal with a group of Core Formation cultivators.

In this context, the brutal and visceral killing methods of the body-tempering demon cultivators would naturally have a greater impact.

However, the Azure Sea Demon Lord did not refute the demons' guesses in his heart.

She casually glanced back, looking in a certain direction.

Three Golden Core cultivators, carrying the Demon Slayer Bureau's most valuable treasures, came to intercept her. Even with her powerful cultivation, she still expended considerable effort to shake them off.

However, just before that.

She, however, sensed the aura of a battle between Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Just as the Azure Sea Demon Lord was about to turn back, the Chen family mountain master who had been chasing after him suddenly went silent in a very short time.

I initially thought it was the Night Demon Lord coming to help.

With his terrifying strength, which was incredibly close to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he could indeed kill that cultivator quickly.

But now it seems that the one who made the move was most likely this demon lord who came from elsewhere.

The demon generals' judgment was correct; this person's cultivation, if not comparable to the Night Demon, was at least far superior to their own.

"Where did this powerful demon come from?"

"The demon lords of the nearby prefectures don't match the demons' previous descriptions. Could it be Dragon Spine Ridge...?"

"That's not right either. Although we don't know the strength of those three demon lords, they all need to guard the border and be ready to resist the counterattack of the immortals at any time. They have no time to meddle in other people's business."

"They may have come from the Great Shun Dynasty."

The Yongzhou Pass has now been renamed Dragon Spine Mountain. Merchants and immortals dare not approach it, but demons can come and go freely and easily gather together.

This is probably why the Demon King Suxin wanted to take over this pass.

The Azure Sea Demon Lord was lost in thought and said softly, "If I meet this Demon Lord again, I must persuade him to take some time to stay for a few days. I will definitely repay him properly."

"After you bring the demons into the mountains, come and see me as soon as possible."

"It's not good to keep getting beaten up like this."

A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes: "In such a short time, you've destroyed several of my demon strongholds and slaughtered tens of thousands of my demon people. It's time for the Demon Slayer Division to bleed a little."

Now that the demon lord has cleaned up the mess for me, saving me a lot of trouble, I can't just sit idle now that I've finally freed myself up.

"Your humble servant obeys!" The demons bowed in unison.

……

It was noon.

Within this magnificent and indescribable Anren Prefecture, a tense atmosphere permeated the entire area.

The fall of Yongzhou Pass had already made the people in the city uneasy.

Subduing demons outside the city is naturally the most important task at present.

Of the several teams sent out, the one led by Lieutenant General Lu Chengyu attracted the majority of attention.

Ordinary cultivators and common people can't understand the intricacies of the immortal sects.

All they knew was that among this group of people was a disciple of the Yu family, the mountain god.

When the mountain lord enters the mortal world, he will surely sweep away all evil!

However, this highly anticipated team has yet to be heard from again, and there is no news about it in the local government gazette.

boom!!

Suddenly, thunder roared.

A powerful aura swept across the sky, carrying a strong scent of demonic blood, and passed by.

No one is allowed to fly within Anren Prefecture. All people, regardless of their status, must be checked by the city guards.

This is an ironclad rule of the imperial court.

However, after seeing the blood-stained flowing cloud sword robe and the suppressed rage on the handsome young man's face, no one dared to intercept him. They could only watch helplessly as he headed towards Qiankun Academy.

"The head of the Yu family has returned! He's carrying several severed heads!"

"Why was he the only one who came back?"

"Such fury... could it be that there's been a problem with the demon-slaying?"

Those who were interested quickly got up and rushed towards Qiankun Academy without prior arrangement.

Amidst the red walls and green tiles, whether they were descendants of immortals from the Academy of Literature or cultivators and students from the Academy of Martial Arts, including many lecturers, everyone noticed the change in the aura of the sky.

They were slightly startled and quickly headed towards the entrance of the academy.

"Is it Lin Shu?"

The Ruan siblings, along with Chang Yi, were still telling Yu Sheng about the many messages they had received within the Demon Slaying Division.

Looking up into the distance, the moment they saw that familiar figure, they all stood up.

Before they knew it, they found that Yu Sheng had rushed out of the courtyard, and they quickly followed.

In an instant, a crowd gathered at the entrance of Qiankun Academy, all staring at the figure that was rushing towards them.

"Teacher Lin, what's wrong?"

Fan Li looked surprised. Seeing the young man land, she quickly went to greet him: "Are you alright? Why are you covered in demon blood and look so pale? Could it be that your old injury has flared up again?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Shu, clutching her blood-stained hair, casually held up several severed heads and coldly asked, "Do you recognize them?"

"This is……"

Fan Li suddenly felt a layer of white hairs and sweat rise up behind her.

He recognized all four heads.

The Demon Slayer List contains records of many demons, some in detail and some in brief.

But given Fei Huang's penchant for showing off, not only his aura but also his appearance had already been described.

"Seventy-second on the official list, the Flying Locust Demon General!"

The cultivators who were watching the spectacle had already shouted out the name of the great demon.

These infamous and ferocious demons cannot be captured by anyone other than a Golden Core cultivator.

The head of the Yu family actually killed him with his Core Formation cultivation. Such strength is truly terrifying!

Moreover, this is only one of four heads.

Could the other three also be equally ferocious demons?

Compared to the shock of the crowd outside the academy, the students and lecturers were pale-faced.

"This, this is Master Liu! And Master Wang and Master Cui!" Screams suddenly erupted from the crowd.

"They are lecturers at the martial arts academy and also disciples of Yu Fushan."

Fan Li stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered as to what had happened. As fellow lecturers at the martial arts academy, why were the heads of these three senior figures in Lin Shi's hands?

"Yu Fushan..."

Lin Shu's eyes turned cold.

He took a step, his body reeking of blood, the glaring crimson color causing everyone around him to hold their breath.

As everyone stared at the young man's back, they finally realized that this was a ruthless man who had fought his way through the bloody borders, and he was not the gentle and refined person they usually saw.

The lecturer and his students looked on in disbelief and instinctively followed the other person.

They hurried on their way and arrived at the foot of a quiet hill within the martial arts academy.

At the foot of the mountain stands a stone tablet inscribed with the three characters "Qingfeng Pavilion".

Lin Shu slowly stopped and looked up at the pavilion on the low hill.

His voice was slightly hoarse, yet it carried a chilling coldness that was clearly audible to everyone.

"The officers and lieutenants of the Demon Slayer Division were attacked by demons, and their fate is unknown."

"I chased the demon general for thousands of miles, fighting him with all my might, but then I was stabbed in the back by my own people."

On the young man's blood-stained, pale face, a mocking smile played at the corners of his lips, as if he were mocking himself or ridiculing someone else.

His gaze was serene as he casually tossed the four heads to the ground, his voice gradually revealing a palpable ferocity.

"So, can someone give me an explanation?"

"Explain who exactly is colluding with the demons."

There was nothing in the area Lin Shu was facing.

But everyone knew who he was questioning and fully understood the source of his rage.

The Yu family, who had been in charge of the mountain, returned from the border.

Despite his injuries not yet healed, in order to preserve the reputation of the mountain god, he braved his wounded body to go outside the city to slay the demon.

He possesses terrifying strength to fight off the great locust demon. Even if he encounters an ambush set by demons, he has the power to turn the tide and may be able to successfully eliminate all the demons.

In the end, they lost because of their own people. How ironic!

"..."

The crowd fell silent, their expressions varied.

In fact, Qingfeng Pavilion doesn't need to explain too much; it only needs to explain one thing.

That explains why Liu Wentao and the other two lecturers left the martial arts academy, went to the Demon Mountain, and appeared beside Lin Shu.

Of course, it can also be interpreted as a desire to protect.

But such words can only fool outsiders. Anyone with a bit of status knows what the Yu family's attitude is towards Lin Shu.

The other party is a burden to Yu Sheng, seriously affecting the future of this immortal descendant.

They had long wanted to separate the two, and they wished Lin Shu would die outside the city, so how could they possibly protect him?

"broken."

One of the lecturers suddenly shuddered.

If it were anyone else, Qingfeng Pavilion might have been able to brush it off with a few words.

Who is Ke Linshu?

Everyone in Anren Prefecture knew Yu Sheng's attitude towards him.

This is not a disciple questioning an immortal; it is clearly a conflict between two immortals!

Sure enough, the crowd gradually parted.

The aloof young woman walked slowly, her bright eyes already filled with murderous intent.

She suddenly rose into the air and instantly arrived at the pavilion on the low mountain.

Everyone knows that Qingfeng Pavilion is filled with the beloved disciples of Vice Headmaster Yu Mingxuan.

But at this moment.

Yu Sheng kicked the plaque hard, unleashing the same aura of a Core Formation Perfection cultivator.

Boom!

The entire attic rumbled and nearly collapsed completely.

She suddenly waved her sleeve, and thousands of emerald green, crisp sword feathers appeared out of thin air, hanging in the sky.

With a sharpness capable of tearing apart everything, it was like a divine phoenix bowing its head, pointing directly downwards, as if it were ready to kill at the slightest provocation.

"Are you all mute?!"

"Lin Shu asks you, who is colluding with demons!"
