Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 149 I Must Follow You and Become a Demon!

"..."

Chen Ziheng quietly observed the changes and smiled to himself.

Their ancestor was interested in this disciple.

While in the city, one must be wary of Yu Sheng's identity and can only investigate secretly.

But now, this kid has foolishly left the city on his own initiative, isn't this the perfect opportunity to capture him?

The Demon Mountain is treacherous, let alone subduing the Demon Lord; it's perfectly normal for some unexpected events to occur along the way.

Given the status of his ancestor in Anren Prefecture, even if Yu Sheng had some doubts, his foundation was shallow and he could hardly pose any threat to the Chen family.

"A battle of Golden Core cultivators is a rare sight. Young friend Lin has come with us, which is a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons. It's not a bad thing."

Thinking of this, Chen Ziheng spoke up to defuse the situation.

He said slowly, "Even if this move is a sure thing, young friend Yun is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. With Lin Shu protecting her, there is always more protection."

In terms of strength, this deputy headmaster, who is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, is probably much inferior to Qian Yiru.

However, if we're talking about noble status, he is the only immortal descendant present.

With just a few words, Lei Shouren suppressed his anger and said slowly, "I'm just afraid he's more trouble than he's worth. Since he left the city without permission, his life or death is none of our business. He can take responsibility for it himself."

"If anything unexpected happens, just don't let Immortal Yu Sheng cause trouble at the Demon Slayer Division."

Having said that, the demon-slaying general ignored Lin Shu and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing into the distance.

"..."

Qian Yiru turned around, gave the two of them a deep look, and then used the Divine Phoenix Three Heavens Technique to suddenly disappear from the spot.

Numerous Golden Core experts employed various methods.

Even with Senior Brother Qian's help in riding the sudden wind, Yunniang still found it quite difficult to catch up.

Just then, a gentle breeze slowly enveloped her body.

Yunniang glanced sideways in surprise and saw that Brother Lin looked relaxed and easily followed behind the group, even having the energy to take care of her.

She felt much more at ease.

Rumors circulated within the academy that Senior Brother Lin was skilled in agility techniques and had escaped death from numerous perilous situations.

Seeing it with my own eyes now, it's no less impressive than a Golden Core cultivator! It's simply amazing!

"Don't be so nervous."

Lin Shu casually offered a reassuring remark, but he had already filled the Divine Edge Jade with spiritual power and was using his divided soul to control the area around it.

He still had tens of thousands of taels of silver in his pocket, which he could use the power of the Azure Phoenix to inject into the Mountain God's Mirror at any time.

On this trip, I also brought the idiot along.

Furthermore, since the two demon lords were informed in advance, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Hmm...it's much better now."

Yunniang nodded and stood obediently beside the young man.

She wasn't actually worried that the demon-slaying mission would be unsuccessful.

Five Golden Core cultivators are fighting against a Demon Lord. If they can't even defeat one, then the one in charge of Anren Prefecture should be a Demon Lord.

But she really enjoyed this opportunity to be alone with Brother Lin.

……

Nestled among the mountains.

Suddenly, shouts rang out.

"Sir, those damned spies are closing in on us!"

Several demon generals swept in, carrying two corpses in their hands, but their faces showed no joy whatsoever.

The fact that the group of demon-slaying officers who had been lying in wait suddenly made a move could only mean that they were planning to close the net.

Towering peaks.

The Azure Sea Demon Lord's expression was cold and stern, and compared to before, there were far fewer figures around her.

Almost all the demon generals that could be driven away were driven away.

The remaining few were those who had followed her since she was a little demon, and had come all the way to this day, refusing to leave no matter what.

"Go down."

Night Demon Lord waved his hand, his expression calm.

Compared to these youngsters, he was much older, and after realizing that there was no hope of breaking through, he took a more detached view of life and death.

"My lord..." Ling Liu looked up at the Azure Sea Demon Lord, her gaze shifting back and forth between him and the one-armed old man. Her hesitant manner clearly indicated that she had something to ask.

That handsome demon lord clearly said that if I encountered any trouble, I could send him a message.

Now that a formidable enemy is approaching, why not send Grandpa Duan Yue to seek reinforcements?

"..."

The Azure Sea Demon Lord shook his head, interrupting the little girl.

Beside him, the Night Demon Lord chuckled silently.

He believed that the demon lord truly wanted to save the demons of Anren Prefecture, and was even willing to fight Qian Yiru.

But who could have imagined that the headmaster of Qiankun Academy would make such a decision?

Just seeing that list made Night Demon Lord feel a little uneasy. Putting himself in that situation, why should he put that young demon lord in a difficult position?

"Please rest assured, my master has made arrangements."

Old Xu stepped forward and nodded in response with a calm expression.

No matter how calm he appeared, he couldn't alleviate the fear in the eyes of the surrounding demons.

"We understand."

The Azure Sea Demon Lord nodded slightly, hesitating about how to ask the Broken Mountain Demon General to leave this place of trouble first.

Her expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly looked towards the distant sky.

Even with the most powerful eyesight, the Demon Lord could clearly see seven figures rushing towards this place.

At the same time, the energy between heaven and earth suddenly began to surge wildly.

"Well!"

She stared at one of the young men, suddenly looking somewhat bewildered and lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Night Demon Lord's expression gradually turned serious, but he also noticed the strangeness in his companion.

The lesser demons under their command gradually recognized the figures and stood frozen in place, as if by unspoken agreement.

Ling Liu stammered, "That demon lord has arrived, but... he's on the other side."

"..."

Night Demon Lord's lips twitched twice.

He had heard of the demon lord's handsome reputation, so without needing anyone to point it out, his gaze quickly locked onto the young man in the flowing cloud sword robe at the end of the group of seven.

Despite knowing that the other party had infiltrated the immortal sects, even the Azure Sea Demon Lord, who was most familiar with him, never imagined that a great demon could achieve such a status in the immortal sects.

Even in confidential matters like slaying the Demon Lord, he had a place.

Why bother being a demon lord? He might as well just be a proper disciple of the mountain.

"A coordinated attack from within and without?"

Night Demon Lord took a deep breath and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

That powerful demon is lurking among them. If we can find the right opportunity, we can deliver a fatal blow to Qian Yiru.

Even if we can't win today, at least we have a chance to save our lives.

"Don't show it!"

The Azure Sea Demon Lord reacted quickly by looking away.

So this was Brother Lin Yao's plan all along.

……

"Get out of the way!"

Lei Shouren glanced at Lin Shu with displeasure.

He said he would not let the other party share even a fraction of the credit.

Amidst the cold rebuke, he casually unleashed his spiritual power to force the man back, and then quickened his pace once more.

Boom! Boom!

They gave the demons no chance to react.

In an instant, five figures descended directly onto the peak, their powerful auras surging and blocking all escape routes.

"Look at your desolate and deserted demon mountain, did you fail to break through?"

Having dealt with the two demon lords for so many years, Lei Shouren could discern the situation at a glance.

He strolled out leisurely, surveying his surroundings before finally fixing his gaze on the Night Demon Lord, and sneered, "You dismissed the demons beforehand? You didn't actually think they could escape from my grasp, did you?"

"Ha!"

Under this overwhelming power.

The remaining demon generals felt a chill in their hearts and instinctively moved closer to the two demon lords.

The fear on their faces wasn't feigned.

Even if there's one of their own hidden on the other side, it's still three against five, and the chances of winning are still slim.

"As expected of someone who has brought in an ally, you speak to me with much more confidence than before."

Night Demon Lord looked around at the group and couldn't help but sigh.

At this point, there's little point in trying to gain an advantage through words.

He clenched his fist slightly, and a powerful demonic force far surpassing Lei Shouren's instantly enveloped the world.

"Tsk."

Chen Ziheng frowned slightly and subconsciously took a step back.

He was the deputy head of the Martial Academy and rarely entered the Demon Mountain. Even though he had long heard of the Night Ghost Demon Lord's fearsome reputation, he never expected that the other party would be so powerful.

If it really comes down to a fight, there will probably be some price to pay.

"laugh."

Lei Shouren scoffed at the Night Demon's mockery.

He glanced at the Azure Sea Demon Lord. Although he didn't know where the demon had gotten the news from or why it was here, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the past, he probably would have found it quite troublesome.

But with Qian Yiru and Chen Ziheng present, this aloof and beautiful woman offering herself up is nothing more than adding another lucrative achievement to their list.

As for the fear shown by this descendant of the Chen family, it's because he doesn't yet understand the methods of the Demon Slayer Division.

"The Seal of the Suanni!"

The demon-slaying general suddenly raised his palm, and a small cyan seal rose into the air.

This item was made by the Qi family in imitation of the Yu family's Mountain God Seal. There are nine of them in total, named after the Dragon Son.

When used to deal with cultivators, it is not even as good as a high-grade magic weapon, but when it comes to demons, the power of this seal can even be comparable to those spiritual treasures.

Roar!

The lion-shaped seal swelled in the wind, accompanied by a deep, muffled roar, and a rich luster poured down.

"What is this?"

The demons present trembled in unison, their eyes filled with intense disbelief.

Ling Liu and the other demon generals, feeling their demonic power nearly dissipate, finally understood why their master had asked them to leave ahead of time.

Under this precious seal, they were not even qualified to fight against the deputy general of the Demon Slayer Division.

Previously, due to Lin Shu's presence, the demons still harbored a sliver of hope, but in the face of the mysterious methods displayed by the Demon Slayer Division, that hope was instantly extinguished.

"After all these years, you still only know this one trick."

The Azure Sea Demon Lord's face turned pale, and his aura was suppressed by nearly 50%. In an instant, he went from a mid-stage Golden Core demon to a low-stage Golden Core demon.

The Night Demon Lord's cultivation was much stronger, but he was still under the same suppression. The vast demonic power he had released earlier was instantly suppressed.

The two forcibly mobilized their demonic power, and a fierce look appeared on their faces.

There's no need to win; just risk your life to create an opportunity for that young demon lord!

"To deal with you bastards, the tricks don't need to be novel, as long as they work."

"I will control this seal. You two will follow Senior Brother Qian and Senior Chen. Do not let a single demon escape."

Lei Shouren spoke calmly and quickly made arrangements.

Seeing the chaotic state of the two demon lords, Chen Ziheng's expression relaxed considerably.

So that's how it works.

Even if Qian Yiru's strength is questionable, if he had any cultivation at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, none of this would have happened today.

Thinking of this, he politely turned around and said, "Yi Ru, would you like to go first?"

While there was also the reason of cherishing life, the main reason was that the Chen family's status in Anren Prefecture had reached its peak. No matter how great the merits he made, the scattered immortal family could not possibly turn the tables and suppress the half-life immortal sect.

Why not do a favor?

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ziheng's eyelids suddenly twitched.

Lei Shouren glanced to the side and was also greatly shocked.

Under the domineering Suanni Seal, Qian Yiru's expression remained calm, but his face was devoid of color.

His vast aura was actually suppressed to the level of barely reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Senior Brother Qian, what's going on?!"

Lei Shouren looked on in bewilderment and instinctively let out a low growl.

Even if Yu Qiheng were to perish, Qian Yiru's spiritual power would deteriorate. With his cultivation level, maintaining this for a year or two would not be a big deal.

Otherwise, the Yu family would not have felt comfortable letting him enter the world.

"this……"

The fierce expressions on the faces of the two demon lords suddenly turned into astonishment, and they looked up at the sky with some confusion.

Lin Shu hovered casually in the air, quietly looking down, as if she had expected this.

Was this also arranged by the other party?

"call."

Qian Yiru let out a soft breath, and the corners of his lips gradually turned up.

After enduring so much, the time has finally come to dispel the resentment and anger in my heart.

He flicked his finger slightly, and his deeply hidden demonic power suddenly surged forth.

Of course, a normal transformation into a demon cannot happen so quickly.

However, if the cultivator actively catalyzes the process, the situation is completely different.

Given his strength, it's hard to imagine anyone believing he would try to fall into demonic ways.

Therefore, he had to make himself look more like a demon.

In addition, one must make sufficient contributions in order to obtain the resources needed to stabilize one's realm.

A combination of factors has led to the current situation.

"I am but a humble man, so I will offer the lives of these four as a pledge of allegiance to the Demon Lord."

As he raised his eyes, the rampant demonic energy instantly transformed into five illusory azure phoenixes, each several tens of feet long.

Boo!

Amidst its clear cry, the Azure Phoenix spread its wings, its body transforming into a colossal sword shadow.

A resounding clang of swords echoed through the mountains and rivers as five giant green-winged swords swiftly crashed down, suppressing the remaining four people in the arena.

The last sword hesitated for a few moments, but did not strike Lin Shu and Yun Niang. Instead, it hovered in the air, blocking their path to survival.

With Qian Yiru's cultivation and methods, even if he guessed that Lin Shu had hidden strength, he was not worried about the other party escaping at all.

"what?"

Night Demon Lord and Azure Sea Demon Lord, along with their numerous lesser demons, were all stunned by this sudden turn of events.

What do you mean by... offering these four lives as a pledge of allegiance to the demon lord?

Which demon lord did he intend to offer it to?

The two looked at each other and consciously excluded themselves from the discussion.

You can tell just from the moment Qian Yiru made his move.

Even though he was suppressed by the Suanni Seal, which made his cultivation level slightly inferior to Lei Shouren and Chen Ziheng, this person still dared to fight against four opponents alone.

What an arrogant spirit and what strong confidence in one's own strength!

The targets he must serve could not possibly be two demon lords whose homes are being besieged.

"The sect leader has defected..."

Chen Ziheng's voice was hoarse.

He never expected that he would encounter such a terrifying thing after finally getting out of the house.

But the next moment, the immortal descendant had no more chance to feel regret.

He roared, his clothes ripped apart, and his entire body transformed into a colossal black spider, its eight long legs coming together as it used all its strength to resist the giant sword that was descending upon it.

boom!

The colossal creature was suddenly blasted away, crashing into the majestic mountain opposite, before soaring into the clouds, frantically trying to evade the pursuing sword shadows.

"Qian Yiru, the Yu family has treated you well, why are you being treated like this!"

Lei Shouren roared as he used the Suanni Seal, which was originally a treasure for suppression, but he forcibly used it as a defensive object.

Fortunately, this treasure was very effective against demonic power, and with the help of his two close attendants who took to the air and worked together to activate the seal, he was able to barely stop the attack.

Do you know Kim Hyung?

Upon hearing this, Qian Yiru suddenly chuckled softly.

"..."

Lei Shouren was radiating spiritual light as he watched helplessly as the sword shadow blasted cracks into the Suanni Seal.

He spat out blood and flew away wildly. The remaining two lieutenants also scattered and fled, no longer daring to confront the Azure Winged Giant Sword head-on.

Jin Heng, the Golden Core disciple of Yu Qiheng who failed to overcome the calamity.

"Ugh."

"What we call gold is just money."

Qian Yiru shook his head sadly, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.

Families with some standing tend to disperse their members to various other families to avoid arousing suspicion from the immortal sects, so hiding their identities is a common practice.

This elder in the clan had taken care of me countless times along the way.

Just as Qian Yiru was gradually gaining a foothold and finally had the spare energy to take care of the other party, he received news of the elder's death.

He did indeed come down the mountain to seek revenge.

But it wasn't to avenge Yu Qiheng; rather, it was to seek justice from the Immortal Sect for the elder who had "failed to overcome the calamity."

"Let's start with you guys."

Qian Yiru calmed his mind, casually pressed his palm down, and focused on four things at once. Several sword shadows, carrying the power to tear the sky apart, actually killed the four cultivators of the same realm without any chance to fight back.

Everyone knows the prestige of the mountain masters, but few truly understand the vast difference between them and ordinary cultivators.

"Ho! Ho!"

Yunniang stared blankly at this scene.

Suddenly, the question that Senior Brother Qian had asked me about "future prospects" came to mind.

Suddenly, she understood everything.

"Brother Lin, let's go!"

"He's going to lead you astray into the demonic path!"

Yunniang turned around abruptly. Qian Yiru did not lay a hand on the two of them, not because he intended to show leniency.

Instead, he wanted to take advantage of her deteriorating spiritual power and the fact that she hadn't yet joined a sect, to forcibly abduct her and force her into a demon form.

Brother Lin was completely innocent and suffered a terrible misfortune!

"..."

Lin Shu casually reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, but her expression gradually became serious.

Qian Yiru's strength did indeed exceed his expectations.

To be honest, trying to snatch some ill-gotten gains from under those sword shadows is actually quite tricky.

After all, judging from the current situation, even without my intervention, these people would have perished here anyway, so I must get their heads.

If you miss out on even one or two ill-gotten gains, it can really be heartbreaking.

Lin Shu observed the state of the group, her mind stirring slightly.

The divided soul has already taken control of the Divine Jade and is ready at any time.

Suddenly, a shout rang out in the air, followed by a surge of spiritual energy that directly empowered Lin Shu.

"Senior Brother Lin, you excel in lightness techniques; I'll help you escape!"

"Once this message is sent back to Anren Prefecture, it will surely be a tremendous achievement for Immortal Yu Sheng!"

Lei Shouren, who wields the Suanni Seal, is Qian Yiru's primary target. In a short time, he has been covered in sword wounds and looks like he is on the verge of death.

At this moment, as he let out a mournful howl, he actually parted his spiritual power, intending to help the two disciples in charge of the mountain escape.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Golden Core cultivators perked up.

No matter how strong the man surnamed Qian is, there is a limit. If another person comes and distracts him, the chances of us escaping will increase even more.

"..."

Qian Yiru glanced at Lin Shu briefly, but didn't pay much attention to her.

Keep in mind that there are still two demon lords on the summit who haven't made a move yet.

If the other party had any sense, they should have realized that I was deliberately showing leniency and would never dare to take any more risks.

"Can't!"

When Yunniang saw that her senior brother Qian was looking at her, she opened her arms without hesitation, her face filled with anger.

How could a general of the Demon Slayer Division act so shamelessly!

Previously, he had said that this matter had nothing to do with Brother Lin, but now, in order to escape, he deliberately attracted Brother Qian's attention.

"Everyone, split up and escape!"

Regardless of whether Qian Yiru was distracted, Lei Shouren reacted quickly after speaking, abandoning the Suanni Seal and rushing out of the mountain.

This is his last chance!

"That's about it."

Just as Qian Yiru was using all his sword skills to chase down the fleeing figure, a calm voice rang out from the sky.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sensed an extremely chilling sharpness.

When the disciple in charge of the mountain turned around and looked at Lei Shouren again, he saw a figure leaping high into the air.

The man first threw a punch at the sky.

In full view of everyone, he shattered the dozens of feet long azure winged sword shadow with a single punch!

Snap! Snap!

Amidst the swirling spiritual light, the man turned and unleashed a series of palm strikes, shattering Lei Shouren's spiritual power and brutally breaking his limbs in his terrified gaze!

The man, with his ugly face, glanced at Qian Yiru with slight displeasure.

Master Lin said that people shouldn't be killed indiscriminately, as it can easily cause trouble; remember to leave them alive.

This person is so stupid, they can't even remember something this simple.

He carried Lei Shouren, who was lying like a dead dog, and walked slowly toward the lonely peak.

"..."

Qian Yiru stared blankly as his sword shadow was shattered.

A look of intense surprise suddenly welled up in his eyes.

Even though his cultivation was suppressed by the Suanni Seal, the other party didn't seem to be using their full strength at all.

"This is……"

Whether it was Lei Shouren, or the remaining figures in the air, including the two demon lords on the lonely peak, they were all stunned by this scene.

Today's events were already bizarre enough, yet another twist has occurred.

Someone actually managed to neutralize Qian Yiru's attacks with sheer physical strength—where did this monster come from?!

Even those who didn't know the idiot were so shocked they were speechless.

Those who had seen him before, such as Bihai and Lingliu, were now completely numb, their minds blank.

The man did not use any lightness techniques, but instead walked steadily up the mountain. This action made him seem to disregard everyone else, and he even appeared more arrogant than Qian Yiru.

Throughout the entire process, not a single person dared to move an inch; they all stared intently at his figure.

Until the man walked up the mountain, picked up Lei Shouren, tossed him into the air, and said in a gruff voice, "Master Lin, caught him!"

His tone was as relaxed as if he had just pulled a turtle out of a stream.

"Heh heh?"

Lei Shouren suddenly encountered so many changes.

While suffering severe injuries, his spiritual energy was also almost completely depleted, and he nearly fainted.

But when he heard the address in his ear, the expression on the face of this demon-slaying general suddenly became extremely strange.

He seemed to be both crying and laughing, like a madman.

How many more Lin Ye's are there in the audience?!

Sure enough, as he was thrown into the air, a slender hand casually gripped his throat.

"so……"

Lei Shouren felt the powerful force coming from his neck and stared intently at the handsome face in front of him.

He trembled all over, his voice now tinged with despair: "You also plan to join the demon sect?"

Lin Shu gently shook her head and explained earnestly, "I don't need it."

"..."

The sudden appearance of the ugly man had already left Yunniang somewhat bewildered.

The other person's address, "Brother Lin," left her mind blank, as if it were filled with mush. She could only stare at Brother Lin in a daze.

The next moment, the young man slightly increased the pressure with his fair fingers.

Lei Shouren's head was forcibly ripped off!
