Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 135 We Should Have a Territory

Yu Sheng and Lin Shu are very famous.

One is a promising descendant of immortals, and the other is known as the first disciple in the trials.

But what is meant by the trial of the first disciple?

To put it simply, he achieved extremely remarkable results among the younger generation, those who have just entered the world of cultivation.

No matter how dazzling he is, he's still just a greenhorn.

He may receive praise and admiration from others, but it is difficult for him to gain feelings of respect.

Let alone the position of sect leader, even if Lin Shu were to become a lecturer at the martial arts academy, many students would be dissatisfied, believing that their cultivation and strength were superior to his.

Furthermore, with the fall of Yongzhou Pass, the events that occurred there were covered up with the deaths of the immortal descendants.

Of the two hundred disciples who fled, most of them had never even been to Shihu City when they were undergoing trials at the border.

They had never even met the master and apprentice, so no matter how much they embellished the events of their return, it would be difficult for them to provide any details that would be convincing.

At this moment, the four hideous heads and Yu Sheng's sudden display of formidable cultivation completely overturned everyone's understanding of the master and disciple.

"This disciple single-handedly slew four experts at the peak of the Core Formation stage, living up to the name of the sect leader. Master, you are so young, only one step away from the Golden Core stage, and you are already showing the spirit of a prodigy!"

"No wonder the two of them were able to rescue so many disciples from Yongzhou Pass."

"How did she grow up to be this way?"

The onlookers were stunned, amazed, yet also somewhat puzzled.

This place is not only home to martial arts academy lecturers and students, but also to many adult immortal descendants who come to the literature academy for further studies.

Before reaching adulthood, immortal descendants rely on inherited spiritual light to accelerate their growth. However, once they reach the Core Formation stage, under the influence of bloodline constraints, they need a large amount of treasures to nourish themselves in order to make difficult progress in their cultivation.

Immortal descendants whose bloodline power is not pure and concentrated enough may never be able to enter the Golden Core stage in their lifetime, let alone reach the Nascent Soul stage, which is comparable to that of half-life immortals.

The so-called prodigies are those who have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Their bloodlines are powerful; when they consume the same treasures, the improvement they gain far surpasses that of their peers, and their potential is also much higher!

This is the point of confusion for everyone.

Even if Yu Sheng truly possesses extraordinary talent, who would be willing to support her?

Lin Shu was just a trial disciple before, relying on accumulating merits to exchange for the inheritance light. It was already difficult enough for her master to come of age, and she could not do anything more.

This has nothing to do with the person's strength, but rather with his extremely low social status.

Let alone Lin Shu, even if the city lords of Yongzhou Pass squeezed them dry, they still wouldn't be able to gather that much food.

It would require at least a highly accomplished Golden Core cultivator who would spare no expense and empty their coffers to accomplish this.

But don't forget, Yu Sheng is an orphan!

Which senior member of the Yu family would be so crazy as to treat her like this? With so much wealth, why not use it to raise their own children?

"etc."

Suddenly, some of the immortal students realized what was happening.

An orphan... one's own child... could it be Senior Yu Qiheng, the garrison commander of Yongzhou Pass?

Senior Qi Heng was a powerful cultivator at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, who held sway over the border. His only regret in life was that he had no children.

If this elder were to discover Yu Sheng's astonishing talent, coupled with her status as an orphan, wouldn't it be a perfect match?

"I said Yu Sheng was all alone, so why did he dare to confront Yu Duchuan? Turns out he's got the biggest backer on the border."

Many of the Yu family's descendants looked on with envy.

Who wouldn't want to eat the child of an old man who has no descendants?

Yu Sheng not only ate her fill, but the old couple also died tragically. She didn't even need to do anything for Yu Qiheng and his wife, and she was still free. She could even go live with other elders.

Fame and fortune.

This woman is the biggest winner of the demonic calamity in Yongzhou Pass!

Only this reason can explain the terrifying strength that Lin Shu has now displayed.

If Yu Sheng can't afford to support the sect leader's disciple, can't Yu Qiheng afford to support him too?

The master and disciple were both exceptionally talented monsters. They happened to encounter the childless immortal Qiheng, enjoying the treatment of a prodigy and the mountain master, and successfully transformed these resources into a terrifying foundation.

Now, the two monsters have returned, free from all ties.

Clearly, Deputy Headmaster Yu Mingxuan was unaware of the situation and made an extremely wrong judgment.

Now, Yu Sheng is no longer the deputy head of the martial arts academy who was forcibly promoted.

Lin Shu was not a disciple who was merely nominally in charge of the sect.

Then Senior Mingxuan is going to suffer a lot...

As expected.

In the ruins of the collapsed Qingfeng Pavilion, more than ten martial arts academy lecturers sat on the ground, their faces covered in dust.

Faced with Yu Sheng's sharp and probing questioning.

They looked up, swallowing hard, their faces tense yet somehow revealing a hint of guilt.

After a long silence, someone finally mustered the courage to speak: "Immortal Yu Sheng, Master, Master is usually so busy, how can you keep an eye on every disciple? How would we know what Liu Wentao and the others are planning to do?"

"To destroy Qingfeng Pavilion based solely on the heads of a few people is utterly unreasonable!"

The disciples seemed to be speaking eloquently.

But the expressions on the faces of the people below the mountain instantly turned strange.

Faced with the destruction of the attic and the heads of the three senior brothers, the first reaction of these martial arts academy lecturers was not to be angry for their master, but to instinctively shirk responsibility and try to distance themselves from Liu Wentao and the others.

They practically wore their guilty conscience on their sleeves.

"This world is truly doomed."

The Ruan siblings remained silent for a long time before letting out a deep breath.

The demons have already captured Yongzhou Pass, yet the immortal descendants in the prefectural city are still engaging in these power struggles, attempting to use the demons to eliminate their rivals.

They suddenly realized that being suspended from their jobs and given time off wasn't such a bad thing after all.

It feels like a huge loss to make my brothers, who are also born of the same parents, fight to the death for these immortals!

The others remained silent, but their eyes flickered uncertainly.

Yu Mingxuan, the deputy head of the mountain, held a high position and wielded great power. He would not have colluded with demons for profit, but it was a fact that he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Lin Shu and killed the deputy captain of the Demon Slayer Division.

How could the Qi family possibly let go of this opportunity to attack him?

Originally, that group of silver-eyed white wolf immortals only wanted to suppress Yu Sheng, the younger one, but they didn't expect to gain something unexpected: they dragged out a bigger one.

His reputation is ruined!

Just when the atmosphere became strange.

A middle-aged man in a Chinese-style robe walked slowly from behind, passed through the crowd, and stopped at the foot of the mountain.

He walked with measured steps and remained calm, trying his best to appear composed and at ease, but the slight twitching in the corner of his eye still gave the lecturers and students a clue.

The moment Yu Mingxuan noticed Lin Shu flying through the air, he sensed something was wrong.

He originally didn't want to show his face and planned to investigate secretly before speaking, but he never expected that the master and disciple would be so arrogant as to destroy his Qingfeng Pavilion.

With just a few words, he seemed to be confirming his connection with demons.

Yu Mingxuan finally understood why Yu Duchuan had made such a negative comment back then.

Yu Sheng, that treacherous villain, has just returned to Anren Prefecture. He hasn't even had a chance to sit down properly, yet he dares to harbor thoughts of stepping on me to rise to power!

"These people are indeed Yu's disciples."

"But why they appeared on Demon Mountain, I have no idea."

"Since something has happened, then we should investigate carefully. This is an academy, so why are you in such a hurry? You are acting rashly and have lost the demeanor of a teacher."

Things had already come to this point, and no matter how much resentment and frustration Yu Mingxuan felt, he could only swallow his pride and bear it.

It's all Liu Wentao's fault for being so useless; not only were their hands and feet grabbed, but their heads were even taken away.

Three cultivators at the peak of Core Formation, plus the Flying Locust Demon General, couldn't even defeat Lin Shu.

As for what exactly happened at the Demon Slayer Division...

Now that everyone's dead, that kid surnamed Lin can say whatever he wants.

"You are the head disciple of my Yu family, a person of noble status who cannot be offended. This matter is due to my mismanagement. At most three months, I will give you a reasonable explanation."

Yu Mingxuan took a deep breath and said calmly, "I will handle things with the Demon Slayer Division myself."

It's obvious that even when someone blocked the door with evidence, it was still a problem.

However, this deputy headmaster's position was far too high. At most, this matter would tarnish his reputation, but it was impossible for him to actually admit to colluding with demons and be punished according to the laws of the court.

The crowd sighed slightly.

"Hahaha, he still has to give us an explanation."

Yu Sheng's face was full of murderous intent, but he was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe through the telepathic message.

Being a little monster is so much fun!

Unfortunately, the old man came out too quickly; she didn't have time to blow up the low hill.

"Don't bother me."

Lin Shu felt quite helpless; the emotions she had painstakingly cultivated were almost completely ruined by this little chick's laughter.

"call."

He slowly closed his eyes and readjusted his breathing.

When she opened her eyes again, those clear eyes were as still as an ancient well.

The blood-stained flowing cloud sword robe swayed slightly, because the energy within his body was uncontrollably overflowing.

Snap! Snap!

The young man casually glanced at the several severed heads on the ground, then suddenly waved his sleeve, and a surge of spiritual power instantly shattered them into dust, including the head of the demon general who represented great glory.

He turned to look at Yu Mingxuan not far away, his voice calm, with only a barely perceptible hint of self-mockery.

"Forget it, there's no need for any explanation."

After speaking, Lin Shu turned around and strode straight towards the elegant courtyard.

His thin back view showed a hint of dejection and disappointment.

Like a young man who has fought his way back from the frontier, his mind is too simple and he is not yet used to the intrigue and strife of Anren Prefecture, which is even somewhat dirty.

Today's events have taught him a lesson.

"..."

Everyone present instinctively looked over.

What Vice Headmaster Yu Mingxuan said about giving an explanation was nothing more than making up some nonsense to appease the gossip. Such a thing was completely meaningless to a disciple who was in charge of the mountain.

This is their first match since their return.

However, it ended in the defeat of the Demon Slayer Division.

Having suffered such a severe blow, are we really going to let people insult us with a bunch of nonsense?

"Ha!"

Yu Mingxuan felt a surge of anger crashing against his chest.

Not only Yu Sheng, but even this disciple wanted to use himself to create momentum.

The people and cultivators in the city were naturally curious as to why the demon-slaying mission involving the sect leader's disciple had failed.

After a little investigation, oh... it turns out there's a traitor in the Martial Arts Academy.

The disciples who led the mountain not only slew the great demon, but also successfully eliminated the spies left behind by the demon and brought back news. It can be said that they were still honorable despite their defeat.

The remaining resentment will naturally fall on another person.

Damn it! This person is Yu Mingxuan!

Add to that the dejected figure as he walked away, and as long as Lin Shu is alive, this matter will always be unavoidable whenever this person is mentioned.

"What are you all standing here for?"

Thinking of this, Yu Mingxuan's forced composure finally crumbled, and he angrily waved his sleeve, saying, "Disperse!"

The lecturers and students in the academy dared not offend this deputy headmaster.

They could only turn around and leave quickly.

But the whispers still carried on.

"He can kill four opponents of the same realm while only at the Core Formation stage. If he were to successfully attain the Golden Core stage, what would become of him! Is this the strength of a disciple who has served as the head of a celestial sect for half a lifetime?"

"No wonder the selection criteria are so strict; I've really learned something new."

"I've heard that two more disciples from the Yu family are coming soon. I wonder who is stronger, Qian Yiru or Master Lin?"

Lin Shu has demonstrated abilities far exceeding those of the disciples, and with those four heads, he has firmly secured his position as the leader of the mountain.

In that case, it's inevitable that people will compare it with other leaders.

"It's definitely Qian Yiru now. After all, it's rumored that he has obtained the Six-Turn Dragon-Tiger Treasure Pill and has reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He also possesses the Yu family's most powerful sword technique. Lin Shi is only at the Core Formation realm. How can they be compared?"

After saying that, the man changed his tone again: "But strength is strength, and talent is talent. Master Lin is only in his early twenties. Even if he started absorbing spiritual energy from the womb, he has at least cultivated for several decades less than Qian Yiru. It is not impossible for him to surpass him later."

Students at the martial arts academy were more enthusiastic about discussing Lin Shu.

But the group of students from the Faculty of Arts noticed Yu Sheng's difference.

"Did you guys notice just now, Vice Minister Yu...?"

"Which Vice Minister Yu?"

"Of course it's Yu Sheng, who else could it be?"

In the past, when Yu Fushan was mentioned in the martial arts academy, it always referred to Yu Mingxuan.

But now that this elder has become involved with a demon, and the mud on his body hasn't been washed off yet, the title "Yu Fushan" naturally refers to Yu Sheng.

"When Vice Minister Yu was enraged, the blue feathers on his body shimmered with a crimson-gold luster, making him appear incomparably noble. Could it be that his bloodline had been sublimated!"

"Very likely!"

If the same strange phenomenon occurs to someone of low strength, then that person is a bastard.

If the other party displays extraordinary talent, it must be because their bloodline has been elevated and they have broken through their limitations!

"If there's enough food and supplies, wouldn't she be able to break through to the Golden Core stage with ease? At that time, she might even be qualified to take over the position of the old sect leader..."

The immortal descendants come to the Academy of Arts to learn the art of manipulating people's hearts, and they can easily distinguish which mountain is higher.

Although Yu Mingxuan is currently stronger than Yu Sheng, in terms of clan status, given his tarnished reputation, he will likely be far behind.

……

Back in the elegant courtyard.

Yu Sheng finally lost the coldness on her face.

Having followed Lin Shu for so long, she had long since developed her own methods of discerning truth from falsehood.

If the other party doesn't reply to messages for a long time after leaving, it means the matter is serious and they don't want to be disturbed.

However, if they only occasionally acknowledge you with a few words, it means this trip is easy and there is no danger.

"Lin Shulin! Look at me!" the little chick excitedly telepathically transmitted.

"You are not allowed to shrink in front of others."

Lin Shu lay back down in the large bamboo chair.

Having experienced it before, watching the girl turn into a baby and then waiting for praise, he now finds it hard to have any expectations for that phrase.

"No, that's not it."

Yu Sheng took a slight step, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot.

A gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, eventually reappearing beside the bamboo chair.

"whee!"

With her arms on her hips and her face beaming with excitement, she telepathically transmitted, "I can go out and be a little monster with you!"

"..."

Lin Shu paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow.

With a qualitative leap in his own body tempering technique, the chicks also improved, thus achieving the perfect Core Formation cultivation level.

However, supernatural powers also require personal effort to comprehend.

Moreover, even Yu Duchuan, who is also at the peak of Core Formation, has not mastered something as advanced as riding the wind and patrolling the mountains.

That little guy who keeps saying he wants to just coast along and wait to die is actually secretly getting caught up in the fierce competition, isn't he?

"Why do you want to be a little monster?" Lin Shu suddenly asked curiously.

The two left Blackwater City together. In his memory, the little guy was actually a person with little ambition and a very easily satisfied personality.

Logically speaking, her current situation should be more than enough to meet all her needs.

"Because we need a lot of land!"

Without hesitation, Yu Sheng said, "Then we'll take in those who are suffering the most, and prevent others from bullying them!"

At this point, she suddenly felt a little lost, clenched her sleeve tightly, and muttered softly, "And I really missed you when you weren't here."

For most of the immortal descendants

Due to their long lifespan, even ten days or half a month, or even several years, would be a memory that would quickly fade for them.

But Yu Sheng has been awake for less than half a year now.

In her short life, the young man in front of her occupied almost her entire being.

"understood."

Lin Shu glanced sideways at the several figures that had followed them from outside the courtyard.

"Huh?"

Yu Sheng looked up and found that the other party had stopped there and made no further mention of the promise made earlier.

She paused for a moment, then pouted angrily.

Lin Shu is indeed a big liar!

"Senior Brother Lin, are you alright?"

This time, even the most carefree Ruan Xiangling quietly changed how she addressed people.

This is the most basic etiquette towards a disciple who is in charge of the mountain.

"Actually, senior brother, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Lu Chengyu was never up to any good, and Yu Mingxuan is even more vicious. This setback is definitely not your responsibility."

Ruan Xiangling picked up the water bottle, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and vigorously wiped her mouth.

She still speaks her mind without restraint.

But Ruan Changfeng, unusually, did not stop it.

The open and covert struggles between the two families also fueled his anger.

The Qi family was thinking about how to suppress Yu Sheng, the lieutenant was preoccupied with how to thwart Lin Shu, and the vice-headmaster of the martial arts academy was plotting to take the opportunity to eliminate his own sect leader.

None of these people who live off the people's hard-earned money are truly concerned about the well-being of the people of the nine prefectures.

It's just that people like Senior Brother Lin, who want to do something practical, are being wronged.

"It's alright."

Lin Shu originally intended to clear her name, disgust Yu Mingxuan, and pave the way for Yu Sheng.

After all, he doesn't like to suffer in silence.

Sending money is one thing, but the other party dared to send someone to assassinate me, so of course I can't just stay silent and endure it.

But Lin Shu had no intention of deceiving others into sympathizing with her.

He nodded slightly and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

That's right.

Ruan Changfeng sighed, "If Lu Chengyu has already perished, the mountain demons, having been provoked, will certainly not give up. Wuyang and the surrounding counties will most likely be in grave danger."

"Given General Lei's usual practices, he would never allow his trusted confidants to do something so dangerous."

"Just now, the government office sent a transfer order. If nothing unexpected happens, we seven or eight lieutenants should be putting on our black armor again."

Faced with such blatant favoritism.

Instead of complaining as before, Ruan Xiangling smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Vice Minister Yu, we will ensure that the counties under your jurisdiction are well protected."

Whether it's dangerous or not, someone has to guard it.

They joined the Demon Slayer Division, isn't that what they do?

"We'll take our leave." The brother and sister had come specifically to discuss this matter.

Although their strength and resources were not comparable to those of General Lei's confidants like Lu Chengyu, they would never do anything similar to disgust the master and disciple again.

"Thanks!"

Yu Sheng swung her arm forcefully.

After the group left...

She then realized that she was still sulking.

He simply squatted down on the ground, hugged his knees, and stared at the ants on the ground.

"..."

Lin Shu withdrew his gaze, reached out and rubbed her head, and transmitted his thoughts to her, saying, "You should comprehend the supernatural power well. There will always be a chance for you, little demon, to make a move. When that time comes, you must not tarnish the prestige of our sect."

"I don't believe it."

Yu Sheng muttered something to herself, but couldn't help looking up at the young man with suspicion: "When will that be?"

Lin Shu stared into those expectant eyes and suddenly smiled.

He pondered for a moment, then said softly, "I will try my best to give us some territory... maybe not that big, but we should have some."

"Really?!"

Yu Sheng suddenly sprang up, hooked her arms tightly around the young man's neck, and smiled radiantly.

"real."

Lin Shu nodded seriously.

Along the way, he has completely given up his original dream of becoming a deity.

Although there are currently no clues about the heart.

But he sometimes wonders what he would do if he could really resolve these worries one day.

He was unwilling to be a dog for the so-called immortal descendants, but since the inner immortal techniques were all improved by good deeds and evil money, and the immortal energy used for foundation building came from Yu Sheng, he could not possibly become a demon.

Being caught in the middle always makes one seem like an outsider.

Moreover, since Yu Sheng's thoughts have already changed, it will be difficult for her to reintegrate into her original community.

Lin Shu also didn't want this little chick to be assimilated by the ethnic group and become that disgusting creature.

If one could, like many demon lords, occupy a piece of land and do what one wants without being restrained by others, it would seem like a good choice.

However, the prerequisite for doing so is that one possesses sufficient strength to deter all sides and protect the peace of the region.

We're still a long way off.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Yu Sheng exclaimed in delight, "Then when that time comes, will I not have to go to class anymore?!"

boom!

Lin Shu flicked her forehead and casually corrected her, "You don't need to attend their classes anymore."
