Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 152 Recruiting the Demon Lord

The title—Moon Devourer?

The congratulatory expression on the Azure Sea Demon Lord's face gradually faded.

Her delicate face, which possessed a touch of aloofness, appeared slightly dazed. Her red lips parted slightly, and she remained silent for a long time.

Night Demon Lord also looked up in astonishment, finding it hard to believe his ears.

The list of demons to be slain in Yongzhou was suddenly filled by three peerless and ferocious demons overnight, who overwhelmed all other demons and were second only to the two great demon kings, Yuan Yuan and Su Xin.

But that was the attitude of the imperial court.

Among the demons, there were still some powerful demons who were not convinced.

The Night Demon was slightly better off as he hadn't yet broken through to the late Golden Core stage. However, the truly ferocious demons, who were used to fighting with immortals, didn't recognize this ranking at all.

The most famous story about Yunlong Demon Lord is that he was seriously injured by Yu Qiheng, an old bastard who had just entered the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, so much so that he fled to a neighboring country.

Even when they fought, Yu Qiheng was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Even considering the influence of the Mountain God Mirror, this record is hardly remarkable.

The Crimson Silk Demon Lord is not a local powerful demon of Yongzhou, and the extent of his cultivation remains a mystery.

The remaining Moon-Devouring Demon King only managed to become a Demon Lord through this incident, and his qualifications and reputation are still shallow.

In short, the demons of Yongzhou admired the courage of these three men, but did not acknowledge their strength.

Therefore, after Lin Shu swiftly killed the two disciples of the Chen family, the Azure Sea Demon Lord preferred to guess that he was a great demon from the Great Shun Dynasty, rather than considering the possibility of Dragon Ridge.

"Moon-Devouring Demon Lord————"

Bi Hai and Ye Gui looked at each other again, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

If even this newly promoted demon lord is this fierce, then it is conceivable that the remaining demon lords, Yunlong and Hongling, are certainly not just empty names as we imagined.

The ranking of demons on that demon-slaying list might actually be real!

Contrary to what the demons had anticipated, Dragon Ridge was not in a precarious state. At least the three demon lords who controlled the pass still had the power to save the demons of Yongzhou from their dire straits.

Of course, we can leave aside for now how water and fire came to be.

"Hmm."

The demon general Lingliu reached out and covered his mouth.

She suddenly remembered that when she was at Seven Star Mountain, she had complained about Dragon Spine Ridge's actions in front of the Moon Devouring Demon Lord.

The other party remained unfazed at the time, which can only be described as having an exceptionally good temper.

"Qian is aware of this."

Qian Yiru felt the power of the elixir dissolving within his body.

Perhaps it is only by being an outsider that one can see things more clearly.

When he smelled the familiar scent of the pill, he had already roughly guessed Lin Shu's identity.

The immortal blood and flesh contained in the elixir gradually seeped into his Rank 6 Dragon-Tiger Treasure Pill, and the rampant demonic power seemed to be soothed and gradually calmed down.

In fact, with his strength, he could easily establish himself as a demon lord, and would even be considered one of the strongest among demon lords.

The problem is that there are very few examples of Golden Core Realm disciples abandoning their sects.

Therefore, no one else knows how much food they need to feed once they transform into demons.

When Qian Yiru first entered the path of demonic cultivation, he had no way to obtain these things.

Moreover, his identity is so special.

To be honest, if it weren't for that extremely confident demon lord, he wouldn't have dared to easily entertain the idea of ​​taking them in.

You have come to avenge your master.

If you're prepared to perish together with everything, and have no intention of returning alive, then whether you transform into a demon or not makes no difference.

That's why he went to great lengths to gather such a substantial batch of "pledges of allegiance".

Judging from Lin Shu's previous praise, this demon lord was quite satisfied with his pledge of allegiance.

"call."

Thinking of this, Qian Yiru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This subtle, instinctive movement sent a jolt through him.

You should know that he hadn't really taken Lin Shu seriously before.

Even if the other party reveals their identity as a demon lord, the situation will change.

However, according to his initial idea, he would prove his own value with his strong strength, temporarily attach himself to a certain demon mountain as a worshipper, and after he became familiar with the place, he would exchange his merits for resources, and then open up another mountain and establish his own banner.

Throughout the entire process, there was no particularly strict subordinate relationship.

At this moment, Qian Yiru found himself inexplicably feeling as if he were being tested by an elder, and was even delighted to have achieved a good result.

What... what's going on?

Could it be that he was frightened by that scarlet divine blade filled with a violent aura just now?

It doesn't have to be that bad.

That sword's edge would indeed pose a threat to him, but it was far from enough to shake his resolve.

It was clearly because the master and apprentice had been observing everything from behind the scenes from beginning to end.

Like an invisible hand, it quietly orchestrated the situation, ensuring that everything unfolded according to their plans.

He, Qian, possessed formidable cultivation, yet he was as powerless as a chess piece, destined to be manipulated at the fingertips and fall at the whims of the master and disciple.

This is the scariest part!

Thinking of this, Qian Yiru's eyes flickered, and he looked at the young man in the sky with a hint of apprehension.

Faced with this slender figure, he had absolutely no idea how to counter it.

"Don't worry, you won't eat me out of house and home."

Lin Shu sensed the strange gaze and knew that in order to get someone to work wholeheartedly, in addition to displaying martial prowess, there also had to be enough benefits.

He waved his sleeve again, and a thick, overwhelming stench of blood filled the air.

The enormous black shadow crashed to the ground, causing the surrounding demons to retreat in shock and uncertainty.

"A Azure Phoenix Riding the Wind at the Golden Core Realm!"

"It's Yu Mingxuan!"

The Azure Sea Demon Lord and the Night Ghost Demon Lord swallowed almost simultaneously.

As powerful demons of Anren Prefecture, the two quickly recognized the demon whose death was extremely tragic.

On his way back to investigate, Brother Lin also conveniently killed this deputy mountain chief?!

"Well."

Qian Yiru gave a wry smile, realizing that wasn't what he actually meant.

But—it really does look so tempting.

Even though he deliberately focused on teleportation techniques and comprehended the Divine Phoenix Three Heavens Technique, a third-grade Golden Core cultivator, it was not yet perfected, making it difficult for him to hunt down the group of Golden Core-level Azure Phoenixes who had mastered the art of riding the wind and patrolling the mountains.

"Keep it for now. Once things are settled here, take this corpse back to Dragon Ridge, and someone will exchange it for provisions."

Lin Shu spoke casually, as if she didn't think the item was particularly valuable.

Seeing his lavish spending, both Bi Hai and Ye Gui remained silent, as if a dilapidated household had seen a wealthy man in the city and felt quite awkward.

The two demon lords suddenly wanted to ask if the Moon Devouring Demon Mountain was still short of people.

"Yi Ru thanks the Demon Lord for the reward; from now on, he will obey your orders!"

Qian Yiru decisively dismissed his apprehension.

He respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

Aside from the Demon King, the Moon Devouring Demon Lord is perhaps the only powerful demon in Yongzhou who can afford to support himself.

Since there's no other choice, what's there to hesitate about?

"ah----"

Yunniang slapped her forehead hard.

Her eyes were glazed over, completely unable to process what she had seen and heard that day.

Now, all the powerful warriors who came to slay the demons are dead, leaving only that group of terrifying great demons around.

Yunniang was just an ordinary girl from Blackwater City. Even though she had studied at the Yu family for a few months and gained some knowledge, she was still far from having any real experience.

She should have been afraid in this situation.

However, as far as the eye could see, those evil spirits that were rumored to be extremely ferocious all appeared to be led by Brother Lin!

Even after witnessing the entire process, she still couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes.

With a sharp clang of the sword, Senior Brother Qian joined the Demon Sect.

He was anxiously urging Brother Lin to run away when a man suddenly jumped out and punched him a few times, turning Brother Lin into the demon lord that Brother Qian wanted to serve.

Fortunately, even though she had been staying in the mountains for the past few months, she still heard about one thing.

That was the fall of Yongzhou Pass.

The Moon-Devouring Demon Lord was her target on this trip down the mountain.

She never dreamed that this "peerless ferocious demon" would actually be by her side all along.

"Brother Lin, are you now a member of Yongzhou Pass?" she murmured, looking up.

"Young lady, to be precise, Yongzhou Pass belongs to my master, and it's now called Longjizhang," Old Xu gently corrected.

"oh oh----"

Yunniang's eyes gradually cleared.

She quickly said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't correct myself right away. So, am I considered a demon of Dragonspine Ridge now?"

For some reason, when she guessed that Senior Brother Qian was going to take her to join the demon sect, she felt nothing but resistance.

But if that person was Brother Lin, a hint of joy actually welled up in her heart.

"What are you thinking about? You have to go back."

Lin Shu shook her head and landed on the mountain peak.

Before one has fully established oneself, it is best not to give up the identity of a cultivator from a celestial sect.

Anyway, Qian Yiru will take the blame for this.

Someone also needs to go back and explain what happened in the Demon Mountain so that Yu Sheng can take the opportunity to make trouble for that old Azure Phoenix.

"What about Brother Lin?" Yunniang stood there blankly.

"His defection from the immortal sect has nothing to do with me. I wasn't involved in it."

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow.

The fact that someone surnamed Qian dared to become a demon is bound to cause a huge uproar.

As the strongest disciple in Anren Prefecture, I still need to go back and stabilize the situation.

""

Qian Yiru's lips twitched twice, clearly indicating that he understood the other party's thoughts.

"Can we take this opportunity to escape?"

Just then, the demon general Ling Liu suddenly spoke cautiously.

Thanks to the arrangements made by the Moon-Eating Demon Lord, the demons surrounding Anren Prefecture finally had a way to survive.

Upon hearing this, Night Demon and Azure Sea Demon Lord did not answer, but instead turned their gazes to the young man in front of them.

As one of the three leaders of Dragon Ridge, the other party has done so much, he must want to bring us back to fight against the Immortal Sect together.

As for how to proceed, I'm sure Brother Lin has already made arrangements.

"There's no rush yet."

Lin Shu stretched and said with a hint of amusement, "It's still uncertain who will run away."

With the loss of the Junmao Seal in Anren Prefecture, the demon lords are no longer suppressed. The Night Ghost Demon Lord is already a great demon who is infinitely close to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and Qian Yiru can even exert combat power comparable to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Even the Azure Sea Demon Lord, whose cultivation level was the lowest, was still far superior to Yu Qiheng.

With these three people lending a helping hand, there's so much I can do.

"what?"

The demons were stunned for a moment, and it took them a long time to understand the meaning behind those words.

Fear instinctively welled up in their eyes.

But when I thought that these words came from the mouth of the Moon Devouring Demon Lord, I inexplicably felt that it made sense.

It seems quite normal that the other side, having already led their demons to occupy Dragon Ridge, would now be eyeing Anren Prefecture.

However, this large prefecture was not a barren border region.

Even if the demons take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, intending to seize all the counties, large and small.

Given the current situation, the probability of success is indeed quite high.

It's easy to conquer, but incredibly difficult to hold onto; it's practically impossible.

"Clean up the area, everyone take a break first."

Lin Shu didn't make any definitive statements.

He certainly wouldn't go crazy and attack Anren Prefecture; he was merely trying to take over from within.

To gain real control of this manor, there's no need to consider the Chen family patriarch at all. Loose immortals aren't qualified to take that position. All we need to do is find a way to make Yu Dongjun step down.

"We obey!"

It was clearly the banners of three demon families, but with the young man's command, all the demons bowed and saluted, as if they were subjects of his Moon Devouring family.

Faced with this scene, the two demon lords, Night Demon and Azure Sea, had no objections whatsoever.

If it weren't for Brother Lin Yao's intervention and arrangements, we wouldn't be able to chat so leisurely now; we would have been reduced to ashes by Junmao's seal long ago.

The demons quickly dispersed.

Lin Shu reached out and picked up Lei Shouren's headless corpse, carefully examining the sword marks on his body.

The Yu family sword technique is indeed domineering, and its characteristics are also very obvious.

After examining it, he glanced to the side and whispered, "Come and strike again in a few days."

"Who does Your Excellency intend to execute?" Qian Yiru asked, taking the corpse with a hint of curiosity.

"Qiankun Academy, Star Gazing Pavilion".

Lin Shu smiled, a hint of mischievousness in her voice, and said, "The more ruthless, the better."

"I see."

Qian Yiru paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, I need to go and meditate for a while."

Lin Shu waved her hand and led the fool into the cave.

The two entered the wide cave.

He stopped, turned around to look at the ugly man, and said earnestly, "Thank you."

With Lin Shu's current strength, let alone intimidating Qian Yiru, it would be difficult for him to even completely seize the ill-gotten gains from these people under the control of this sect leader disciple.

What truly helped him take control of the situation was the unexpected punch thrown by the fool.

This was not Lin Shu's intention at all.

He only wanted the fool to save Lei Shouren, never expecting that the other party could shatter the Azure Winged Greatsword unscathed.

They were all cultivators who relied on their body tempering cultivation. Even with his own strength at the sixth-grade perfection of the Demon Lion Prison Suppressing Body, he could not have done this so easily.

As for the later Divine Jade Sword, it was actually a clever trick.

Everyone assumed that he had not mobilized his spiritual power.

In fact, this spiritual power had already been poured into the jade before it left the city.

Other cultivators cannot do this because magical artifacts need someone to control them, otherwise the spiritual energy within them will gradually dissipate.

However, the Qi family's split soul Thousand Threads can perfectly make up for this shortcoming.

It's as if there's always a "cultivator" intently controlling that precious jade.

"I won't tell."

The man frowned and waved his hand forcefully.

The two had agreed to protect each other, so why should Master Lin thank them?

Seeing this, Lin Shu pondered for a few moments, then suddenly asked, "Do you remember who injured you like this, or where you came from?"

Even someone with amnesia can stand up to Qian Yiru head-on, so how could he possibly be an unknown nobody?

If you remember just a little bit of information, you might be able to help the other person find out about their background and who their enemy is, so you can make preparations in advance.

"Well----"

The fool lowered his head, pain welling up in his eyes.

He pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said in a low voice, "You can ask Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao knows everything."

"Who is Xiaobao?" Lin Shu looked over curiously.

"It's Xiao Bao who brought the idiot to Qiankun Academy. He taught me a lot of things and said he would keep the idiot's things for me and return them to me when he had the chance."

At this point, the fool suddenly lowered his head, looking somewhat sad.

"But Xiao Bao hasn't visited the idiot for many years."
