Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 162 I'm here to deliver money, not to ask for money.

The man's short sentence plunged the surroundings into silence once again.

This is the only explanation that makes his previous actions seem reasonable.

But the whole thing is absurd enough!

"..."

Just as Akato was about to raise his head, upon hearing this, he quickly lowered it again.

He trembled slightly all over, and even the tip of his nose was covered in sweat.

The information gathered by the demon generals was all false; those so-called rumors were clearly deliberately spread by someone.

The so-called Moon Devouring Demon Lord is actually only at the Core Formation stage, and he only has a group of minor demons guarding his demon flag.

Shit!

No matter how deep the waters of Liang are, they would never call the man in front of them a "little demon".

This was something the Moon-Devouring Demon Lord did intentionally, wanting to probe the thoughts of this group of outsiders.

Unfortunately, they actually took the bait.

"Senior, you are wise to see the truth. We really didn't..."

Chi Dou instinctively wanted to explain, but before he could finish speaking, he was kicked hard in the shoulder by the Azure Tiger Demon Lord next to him.

They've already been caught red-handed, and they're still trying to argue. Do they think everyone else is stupid?

"We are newcomers and do not know the rules, so we have developed inappropriate thoughts."

"We humbly request that you, senior, calm your anger and speak a few kind words to Lord Devouring Moon. From this day forward, we will be utterly devoted to Dragonspine Ridge, even unto death!"

The Azure Tiger Demon Lord's throat tightened, and he clasped his hands together.

Faced with that sharp sword intent, he dared not utter a single falsehood.

To be honest, the fact that they brought their whole family here when the future of Longjizhang was uncertain means they must have some intention of doing something.

No matter what you say, it all boils down to believing rumors and feeling resentful.

Why does Shi Yue, a Core Formation cultivator, have such a high status even though he doesn't even live on Dragon Ridge?

But faced with such a huge gap in strength, their petty thoughts were instantly crushed.

His subordinates were already so formidable, so there's no need to elaborate on his own abilities.

With Qian Yiru's cultivation level, even under the command of a demon king, he would be a highly valued figure. How could ordinary demon lords like us have the right to offend someone who could make him willingly submit?

"call."

Huang Gong and Xu Po turned around and looked at each other with strange expressions.

Now, the old married couple finally understood why the two demon lords, Xiao Hongling and Yunlong, were willing to sacrifice their dignity to protect that demon flag.

That Moon-Devouring Demon Lord possesses such profound resources, yet he is not at the border; clearly, his mind is not here.

Given the opponent's strength, no matter how fierce the storm that blows in Yongzhou, they can protect themselves.

There is absolutely no need to protect the demons.

What the two were protecting was not a demon flag, but clearly the future of Dragon Ridge.

As long as this banner remains standing, anyone who dares to attack the border will be doing so to offend the Moon Devouring Demon Lord, giving him a reason to take action.

"You really hid it well, even from us." The elderly couple rolled their eyes.

No wonder, every time the topic of seizing the pass came up, Xiao Hongling would be evasive and would not explain why she wanted to kill Zhao Zhiyue.

Now it seems there's no reason why that golden-striped black tiger shouldn't have died.

Border passes are worthless; the only valuable thing is the Mountain God Mirror.

Does he, a mere early-stage Golden Core Immortal descendant, have the qualifications to compete with the Moon Devouring Demon Lord for the Treasure Mirror?

"Uh... um."

The Red Silk Demon Lord's face twitched slightly, and he nodded awkwardly.

She hid a fart!

God knows how Lin Shu managed to persuade such a powerful figure to serve her.

To put it bluntly, the difference between Zhao Zhiyue and that kid is like heaven and earth, with Zhao Zhiyue almost killing him with a single palm strike.

However, if you were to place someone surnamed Zhao in front of Qian Yiru, the difference between the two would probably be no less than that between Lin Shu and Zhao Zhiyue at that time.

There are countless natural barriers in between.

"Yu Qiheng..."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yunlong Demon Lord suddenly uttered a name in a soft voice.

Although it is rare for a disciple of the sect to betray the demon, it is not impossible. No one knows what the other party has been through.

Besides, there's Xie Yutang right next to us as an example.

The most important problem is that, at the beginning of their rebellion against the demons, due to their profound cultivation and the pure "immortal aura" on their bodies, they were temporarily unable to use the corpses of other immortal descendants to alleviate the changes in their bodies.

This disciple in charge of the mountain urgently needs the supplies made from the corpse of the Golden Core Realm Wind-Riding Azure Phoenix.

Lin Xiaoyou happened to be holding this item in his hand.

Moreover, he was also a disciple of the Yu family, which gave him the opportunity to get in touch with Qian Yiru.

This explains why, under such circumstances, Lin Xiaoyou did not keep Qian Yiru by his side, but instead sent him back to Longjizhang alone.

Because most of that money is stored with Xie Yutang.

Yunlong Demon Lord's words were enough to awaken Hongling, who was standing beside him.

"I see." She gently clenched her fist.

Regardless, Qian Yiru's arrival solved a major problem for them.

With him stationed at the border, the demons from Da Shun no longer dared to cause trouble.

"I still have some of those supplies left; you can give them to him later."

Yunlong Demon Lord looked at Xie Yutang and whispered his instructions.

Since Young Friend Lin has taken a huge risk to bring such a powerful ally to Dragon Ridge, they should naturally do everything in their power to keep him here.

"I have many more here."

Xie Yutang reached out and touched the storage bag.

For her, these resources were enough to support her cultivation all the way to the Golden Core realm, which was quite generous.

Now that another member of the Yu family has come to manage the mountain, the things must naturally be handed over.

If it were someone else, losing the resources they had already acquired would certainly cause them some disappointment and reluctance.

But a hint of joy appeared on the little girl's face.

Since Qian Yiru has been brought back, it means that our master's current situation is not too bad, and it has not reached the point where he needs to risk his life.

Receiving this message is enough.

Get up.

Qian Yiru's casual remark felt like a pardon to the four demons around him.

While the demons were observing him, he was also secretly scrutinizing them.

In terms of strength, the Dragonspine Mountain demons are no longer considered weak.

Nine demon lords gathered, four of whom were at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Even in Anren Prefecture, there are only four or five experts of this cultivation level watching over things, and the number of early Golden Core cultivators is about the same.

Moreover, most of them are inactive and even less effective than this place.

If there's any qualitative difference, it's that Dragon Ridge doesn't have a top-tier expert like Yu Dongjun stationed there.

But then again, how could a mere border post be compared to a great prefecture?

Under normal circumstances, with the current strength of the demons, they are fully qualified to control Dragon Spine Ridge, and even more than capable of doing so.

However, the current situation at the border is clearly not normal.

The demons will face a combined attack from the Qi and Yu families, which is far too much for them to handle.

"..."

Qian Yiru looked away; these were not things he should worry about.

He did not carry the flag alone, but instead joined the Moon Devouring Demon Flag. Apart from the matters assigned by Lord Lin, nothing else concerned him.

"Are you Xie Yutang?" He stepped forward and approached the demons.

With that familiar sword sound from before, Qian Yiru easily identified the target he was looking for.

"Mmm." The little girl nodded gently.

"My lord has important business to attend to and cannot return to the border for the time being. He said that if you encounter any trouble, you can tell me first."

Qian Yiru did not look around, but the demon lords all understood the deeper meaning in his words.

The Demon Lord Hongling pursed his lips, suddenly recalling the words Yutang had spoken when they had just captured Yongzhou Pass.

No matter how the supplies are allocated, let her keep them first.

Whatever it is, we'll talk about it when her husband gets back.

At the time, she didn't take it too seriously, only slightly wary of Lin Shu's ruthlessness. She never expected that this day would come so soon.

That kid didn't come back, but he sent someone of considerable influence back to keep things under control.

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably fortunate.

Fortunately, he wasn't thinking about anything else at the time, otherwise Qian Yiru's fingertips would probably be pressing against the Adam's apple of the Crimson Demon Lord today.

"Thanks to the care of the adults, we haven't encountered any trouble," Xie Yutang replied carefully, choosing her words carefully.

Even though the Demon Lord is far away, he still thinks about his little demons.

"..."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Cloud Dragon Demon Lord.

He keenly sensed something was amiss.

Even though Lin Xiaoyou was not present, this proud sword cultivator still maintained a hint of respect in his voice when mentioning him.

This is not something that can be obtained simply by exchanging resources.

"OK."

Qian Yiru nodded and finally withdrew his rampaging demonic power.

He gazed at the distant cave dwelling.

As Yu Qiheng's former disciple, even though he had never been to Yongzhou Pass for trials, he was still very familiar with the terrain of the border region.

"Let's talk somewhere secluded." He transformed into a gentle breeze and swept towards the cave.

Huang Gong and Xu Po were not familiar with this powerful man, so they dared not approach him easily.

The Crimson Silk Demon Lord gave Yunlong a wink: "Let's go, let's follow them and take a look."

A sense of helplessness welled up in her heart.

Lin Shuguang sent someone back without giving any prior notice.

How could a young girl like Xie Yutang know how to use those resources, how much to give, and how to give them in detail?

If he gives too little, it might displease Qian Yiru. If he gives all of it, the man will take the things and leave. Does he think that the demons in the mountains can help Shiyue keep him here?

"Since the Moon-Devouring Demon Lord hasn't given any instructions, you can do whatever you want."

Yunlong didn't say anything more. He took off his storage ring from his knuckles and handed the remaining portion of his healing ring to Xie Yutang.

After saying that, he activated his demonic power and led Xie Yutang toward the cave.

"Ha!"

The mountain demons watched the departing figures for a long time before dispersing.

Huang Gong and Xu Po exchanged a glance, suppressing their shock, and glanced into the distance, seemingly casually: "Keep making a fuss, why don't you stop?"

If the two forces remain deadlocked, they will inevitably have to fight to resolve the internal troubles.

However, as long as one side is exceptionally strong, there will be no conflict.

Faced with these teasing words, even the Crimson Fighting Demon Lord, whose hand had been severed, dared not utter a word in response.

He could tell that Qian Yiru had already shown mercy.

The other person's departure also gave him a chance to reattach his severed hand.

"They all came from Da Shun, so please explain this to us."

The Azure Tiger Demon Lord helped Chi Dou up, looking in the direction the group had left with lingering fear, and spoke much more politely and cautiously.

He spent his whole life playing with birds, only to have his eyes pecked out by an eagle in the end.

I thought the Moon Devouring Demon Lord was the breakthrough point.

Who would have thought that they were the true masters of this border region?

Just as the demons were deep in thought.

Inside the cave at this moment.

Qian Yiru sat to the side and looked at the three figures that entered.

"Don't be afraid," Hong Ling said softly, standing beside Xie Yutang.

"Brother Qian."

Xie Yutang mustered her courage, stepped forward, and placed the storage bag and ring on the table: "My master didn't say anything beforehand, please take them yourself."

Even though Qian Yiru's strength has already exceeded everyone's expectations.

But she believed that since her family was willing to send this person back to help, they must have been absolutely certain of success.

"hiss."

Seeing this, the Crimson Silk Demon Lord couldn't help but lower his head and rub his temples.

Well, that's it, they've laid bare all their secrets.

However, to her surprise, Qian Yiru did not look at the storage artifact on the table, but instead turned his gaze to her.

"I've heard adults mention the Cloud Dragon Demon Lord, but is she one of our own?"

"ha?"

Hongling looked up in surprise and subconsciously rolled up her sleeves.

After realizing the other party's cultivation level, she reluctantly put her sleeve down, but her face still held a hint of resentment.

She had been running around doing things for that kid at Dragon Ridge, like a wronged little wife, but this guy, a newcomer, had just said one sentence and the three of them had become "one of us," while she had become an outsider.

Did you make a mistake!

"Uh! The Crimson Silk Demon Lord also took good care of us," Xie Yutang quickly explained.

"it is good."

Qian Yiru's next move completely extinguished the anger of the Red Silk Demon Lord, leaving him standing there dumbfounded.

The man opened his storage bag.

boom! boom! boom!

The next moment, a thick, pungent, and nauseating smell of blood filled the surroundings, turning the spacious, interconnected cave into a stench reminiscent of a slaughterhouse.

The two-headed blue phoenixes landed on the ground.

Hundreds of corpses were piled up into a small mountain.

"This is what my master asked me to give to you."

"I see that your demonic power is abundant, so you probably don't need the supplies for the time being. I'll borrow this portion first, and you can deduct it from here later."

Qian Yiru accepted the storage ring and storage bag: "Lord Lin said that you can distribute them according to the recent situation."

"..."

This time, it wasn't just the two goddesses who were stunned.

Even the most composed Cloud Dragon Demon Lord's eyes became somewhat dazed.

A Wind-Riding Azure Phoenix in the late stage of the Golden Core realm!

Hundreds of Core Formation Immortal Descendants, each exuding the aura of their respective schools!

The sheer amount of flesh and blood piled up was more than ten times greater than the harvest on the day of the capture of the pass.

Qian Yiru didn't come to ask for supplies; he came to deliver them...

With this late-stage Golden Core sword immortal making a move, it's barely acceptable that he could kill these immortal descendants.

But what's even more terrifying is that, judging from what this person said, he actually handed over such a huge harvest to Xie Yutang to handle.

This only shows that the other party has already accepted his status as a subordinate of Devouring Moon from the bottom of their heart, rather than it being a transaction.

Even though Lin Shu still prioritized Xie Yutang, Qian Yiru didn't complain.

What prestige this is!

"What is my husband busy with these days?"

Xie Yutang looked away from the pile of corpses, feeling his mouth dry.

If any immortal descendant or cultivator were to see these things, the entire Yongzhou would probably immediately erupt in chaos!

"I have no idea."

Qian Yiru shook his head.

Lin Shu gave him enough trust, but she did not treat him as an indispensable right-hand man that others might think she needed to keep by her side at all times.

Clearly, only those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with that ugly man with a face full of scars are qualified to truly participate in the adults' "important matters".

With my current abilities, perhaps I'm still a bit too low.

They can only be responsible for simpler tasks like looking after the little demon.

The rest of the explanations were just euphemisms to save face.

If it were truly important enough, Lin Shu could have simply let him collect the supplies and immediately return to Anren Prefecture.

"..."

The expression on the face of the Crimson Silk Demon Lord gradually became strange.

For goodness' sake, she actually saw a hint of melancholy on the face of this top-tier cultivator in the late Golden Core stage.

It's like being unwilling but helplessly forced to return.

If I stay by the side of that Moon-Devouring Demon Lord, will I be able to become an immortal or something?

She is now even starting to doubt whether the Lin Shu she and others are talking about is the same person as the "Lin Shu" that the other party knows.

Could there be some misunderstanding?

"What do your parents look like?" she suddenly asked out of the blue.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yiru looked over with some doubt, wondering if this was some kind of rule for joining the Devouring Moon's banner.

Do we need to accept the demon lord's appearance first?

Although he didn't quite understand this rule, he still nodded and said, "A handsome young man with a face like jade."

"Hey, that should be right."

The Crimson Silk Demon Lord stood rooted to the spot, deep in thought. After a moment, he said, "What about my figure...? What are you doing?"

"Brother Qian Yao, we will turn these corpses into provisions as soon as possible. You have come from afar and helped us out of this predicament. We are truly grateful. Please rest for a while."

Yunlong Demon Lord sighed softly and stepped forward to block Hongling's figure.

He dared not let the other party continue to act recklessly.

If I ask a few more questions, I'm afraid I'll ruin the reputation of the Moon Devouring Demon Banner for my young friend Lin.

However... he was genuinely curious.

How could the Moon-Devouring Demon Lord, residing in the Nine Palaces, have accomplished such an astonishing feat?

Now that so many immortal descendants have died, it will surely provoke the wrath of the immortals. How will they escape?

"Thank you all for your help."

Qian Yiru barely recognized Lin Shu's team, and his attitude softened somewhat.

"polite."

Yunlong collected all the corpses and led the two women out of the cave.

The three left the peak and arrived at the earthen city below.

He looked up at the well-repaired inn in front of him, his gaze wandering, and remained silent for a long time.

"What are you thinking about, senior?"

Xie Yutang suppressed her anxiety. No matter what happened outside, she could rush to Anren Prefecture and see everything with her own eyes.

"I'm thinking..."

Yunlong Demon Lord lowered his eyes and smiled: "Since I gained the ability to protect myself and left that person's side, it has been a long time since I have experienced being treated like a junior."

The previous half-portion of supplies could also be interpreted as his contribution to the capture of the pass.

But this time there was no other reason.

"That one?" Xie Yutang asked, somewhat confused.

"He was raised by the Demon King Yuanyuan," the Red Silk Demon Lord casually explained.

"Young Lin really does look like him."

Yunlong sighed, "He always does things that surprise people, he doesn't mind helping others, and he's used to facing a lot of troubles alone. Others have no idea what he's going to do."

That sounds like a compliment.

But both Hong Ling and Xie Yutang could hear the deep worry in their voices.

Because being like the Demon King Yuanyuan is definitely not a good thing.

As we all know, this demon king ultimately met a terrible end.

……

Anren Prefecture, Qiankun Academy.

The fallen leaves were swept into a pile.

The fool squatted in the clean courtyard, shoveling food into his bowl.

He chewed and mumbled, "I'm going with Master Lin to catch dogs. You have to take good care of yourself. If anyone bullies you, just tell me when I get back."

"Telling you is utterly useless."

Old Yang smiled. He didn't know why Master Lin wanted to bring the fool along. Perhaps he was used to being taken care of, or perhaps he had some other important use for him.

My own strength is too weak to be of any help, and I can't ask too many questions.

He could only pat the man on the shoulder and say, "Be careful on the road. When Master Lin brings you back, I'll have Jin Gui cook you something delicious."

"Okay, haha."

The fool wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

After hearing Lin Shu say that the dog was dead, he became much more organized in his speech, though he still habitually chuckled.

at the same time.

Inside Xianyun Pavilion, countless figures were still coming and going.

Lin Shu leaned against the tree trunk, chewing on a blade of grass, gazing listlessly at the horizon.

He stared at the dense tribulation clouds that only he could see, but his eyes showed less fear.

As long as you always plan for the worst.

It seems there's nothing left to fear.

As dusk fell and the last group of people left the hill, he straightened up and led the withered old man behind him into the attic.

Behind the mountain of memorials on the desk.

The cool and aloof girl chewed on her pen earnestly, looking quite obedient as she pondered deeply.

When she encountered something she didn't quite understand, she would turn to Gu Nanzhi beside her and humbly ask for his guidance, while the Ruan siblings would quietly wait for his reply.

"Lin Shu!"

Only when she sees a certain figure will Yu Sheng wave her arms in surprise and become that lively persona.

"I'll bring you someone; just call him Kober."

Lin Shu nodded slightly and said casually, "When I'm not at the academy, I'll discuss anything with him."

"This old man greets Miss."

The gaunt old man's entire body was hidden inside that oversized blouse, giving him a somewhat sinister appearance.

Although his voice was hoarse, he was extremely respectful.

"You too, if you encounter any troublemakers, you can come and find them."

Lin Shu then looked at the Ruan siblings beside her.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

The brother and sister stood up and bowed to the old man, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The battle between Senior Brother Lin and Chen Wenxi has left the other's identity a mystery to this day. Some speculate that he is Young Master Qi, while others say he might be a senior member of the Yu family, otherwise why would he help Yu Sheng?

In any case, after shedding his disguise, this "Senior Brother of the Mountain" was clearly too lazy to continue the act.

He began to use his influence to help Yu Sheng build momentum.

The old man before them, though he had not revealed his aura, already gave the brother and sister a feeling of unfathomable depth.

He's at least at the Golden Core stage.

Judging from Senior Brother Lin's trusting demeanor, he might even be a reclusive late-stage Golden Core cultivator used to replace Yu Dongjun and Chen Wenxi.

"Go ahead," Lin Shu said softly.

As he spoke, the old man had already quietly stood behind Yu Sheng.

"..."

Yu Sheng glanced at Ke Bo behind her, as if she was gradually realizing something.

Lin Shu wouldn't let someone else take care of him unless it was absolutely necessary; he would only do so when he was about to leave.

She clenched her sleeve tightly, but showed no sign of anything amiss. Instead, she continued to peruse the memorials, her fingertips trembling slightly.

"Keep busy."

Lin Shu turned and left with a normal expression.

After absorbing a great deal of resources, Night Demon Lord finally managed to cross that threshold and enter the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

He then carefully selected several magical treasures from Chen Wenxi's vast collection and gifted them to him.

With a little time to adjust, he will become a truly top-tier ferocious demon.

This is already the strongest fighting force that Lin Shu could leave for the little chicks.

He had no intention of taking Yu Sheng to Shuangyun Mansion.

After all, Yu Jingzhe wields the Mountain God's Carriage, which is far too dangerous. If a conflict were to break out between the two sides, and the loser were to lose, they would not even have a chance to escape.

But danger often represents opportunity.

Shuangyun Prefecture not only has the Yang family's immortal descendants who are skilled in fire magic, but it must also have a large amount of merit money.

Most importantly, if he could seize the Mountain God's Carriage, he would have the ability to traverse the Nine Provinces in a short period of time.

Not only has the efficiency of making money been greatly improved, but it will also be easier to run away with Yu Sheng if any trouble comes along in the future.

"Is everything arranged?"

Lin Shu walked down the low hill and came to a secluded spot.

The aloof and beautiful woman and the scarred man had been waiting here for a long time.

"I've already sent people ahead to scout ahead." The Azure Sea Demon Lord looked around with considerable emotion.

She hadn't experienced this feeling of peace and security in the world for a long time.

In the past, even if one set foot in the mortal world, there would definitely be something to do; it was nothing like the leisurely life we ​​have now.

If the demons under his command could also return to this mortal world and no longer have to hide in the Cold Mountain, how wonderful that would be.

Unfortunately, this is something we can only dream about.

Lord Lin's ability to temporarily take control of Anren Prefecture is something that ordinary demon lords wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But things will come to light sooner or later.

This great mansion will eventually return to the hands of the immortal sect.

What they need to do now is to save as many demons as possible before these things get out, and take advantage of the temporary convenience of Anren Prefecture to send the demons to Dragon Ridge.

Only that border pass could truly become the home of the demons.

"Let's go."

Lin Shu took a step forward, preparing to use his Wind Riding Technique to patrol the mountain.

Suddenly, a cry piercingly choked back tears echoed in my mind.

"Lin Shu! I'll wait for you obediently in Anren Prefecture. I'll be very good! Come back soon!"

She dared not say anything more, fearing it would affect the other person's mood.

After all, ever since Blackwater City, Lin Shu had been annoyed by her own noise.

"..." The handsome young man paused slightly.

After a moment, he chuckled softly and responded gently with his mind.

"it is good."
