Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 171 Recapturing the Old Troops (Part 2)

It was late at night.

Inside the magnificent Azure Phoenix Palace, precious candles still burned brightly.

In the swaying, dancing shadows, the handsome man sat quietly on his golden throne.

He looked down indifferently.

The three families of wandering immortals all bowed their heads and stood silently, trembling with fear.

Even those wild bulls with large horns on their heads dared not mention the fall of their ancestor at such a time.

The other two companies would be even less likely to provoke this prodigy.

The Immortal Jingzhe will give the Fang family an explanation, provided that it does not affect their reputation.

To ensure the news didn't leak out, the herd of bulls was "imprisoned" in the palace from that day onwards, forbidden from stepping outside.

Fang Qingbai can die, but not in a pointless way.

This would make people think that the Immortal Jingzhe was tricked by those wicked creatures, which would damage His majestic image.

If the demons are wiped out before the news of the Fang family patriarch's death is announced, then it won't have much of an impact.

After all, slaying demons always results in death, and the sacrifice of the ancestor helped the people to understand the brutality and ferocity of the demons.

Thinking of this, all the immortal descendants looked in unison at the golden treasure map hanging high in the hall.

Two streaks of light, one red and one black, were moving swiftly through the mountains.

Under the Qingshan Qi Guan Fa (a method of observing the qi of mountains), they are so dazzling that they reflect the mountains and rivers.

The descendants of the Yang and Liu families stared intently at the two beams of light, their unease gradually fading and transforming into powerful confidence.

With the formidable strength of these two ancestors, and since they were traveling together, they would have no rivals unless they encountered a demon king.

As everyone knows, since Yuan Yuan was severely injured by the Night Wanderer and went missing, there has been no trace of the Demon King in Yongzhou for decades.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, the Demon Lord Jinhe, who wields the Eight Trigrams Dragon-Locking Plate, has decided to make a move.

But if that were the case, as long as the Immortal Jingzhe could use this treasure map to learn about the details of these demons in advance, the Mountain God's chariot would descend upon the mountains.

In the current image, at the end of the two swift divine lights, amidst the mountains surrounded by scorched marks, only a wisp of azure mist remains.

The.

This wisp of azure energy was equally powerful, at least at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, but it was so weak and even seemed somewhat vulnerable in front of the crimson and black lights.

"There's only one."

Yu Jingzhe narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his lips, his voice tinged with regret.

It was all for nothing that I lent out two incense-burning magic swords.

If they could catch a glimpse of Shi Yi, these beasts would be doomed.

"It's all thanks to the divine wisdom and ingenuity of the immortal!"

The three families quickly expressed their reverence, sparing no words of praise.

That mysterious demon was too clever for its own good, but little did it know that the Immortal Jingzhe had not lost his composure at all. With a casual command, he precisely struck at the weakest point of the demon horde.

"Oh."

Yu Jingzhe leaned back on his throne, his figure disappearing back into the shadows.

He gently clenched his five fingers and exhaled a breath of fresh air.

The flattering words below sounded more like irony to him.

He, a proud prodigy of the Yu family, a noble being with one foot in the Nascent Soul stage, had actually been reduced to having to outwit and outfight a beast of unknown origin.

The whole thing is ridiculous and absurd enough.

"Whether you escape or stay, you wretched beast—"

"I will reserve the highest position on the city wall for you."

The crimson and black rays of light were already close to the azure aura, but Yu Jingzhe slowly closed his eyes, showing no intention of continuing to look.

If the two great immortals were to deal with a demon lord and something else went wrong, there would be no need for demons to kill them. He wouldn't mind personally dealing with the descendants of these three families, since keeping them around would only ruin his reputation anyway.

Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from inside the palace: "Immortal!"

Yu Jingzhe frowned slightly, looking a bit annoyed, and opened his eyes to scan the area.

Suddenly, the azure energy on the treasure map began to move, clearly indicating that it had sensed an approaching danger.

This is not surprising, after all, Yang Huaixu and Liu Zhaowu are different from Fang Qingbai, who only cultivates his physical body; their auras are extremely rich.

It's normal for Qing Qi, being a powerful demon lord in the late Golden Core stage, to be wary.

But the reason that caused everyone to gasp was—

Instead of fleeing, this wisp of green energy actively went to meet the two beams of divine light!

In the dark mountain forest, only the low chirping of insects and beasts could be heard.

Two long rainbows suddenly swept across the sky, silencing everything.

"It's been so many years since I've had such a tough job."

Liu Zhaowu murmured a sigh.

He resided in Frost Cloud Prefecture and had once served the Silver-Eyed White Wolf Immortal. Since the three Qi family prodigies each had their own territories, only a few ordinary Qi family descendants were stationed here, so his status as a rogue immortal was quite high.

Putting aside other matters, for any major or minor issues that arise on a daily basis, the Demon Slaying Division can be instructed to handle them.

Unfortunately, Yu Jingzhe was too outstanding, and he completely eradicated the Qi family's power in Shuangyun Prefecture, even driving out the Demon Slaying Division personally dispatched by the imperial court.

Left with no other choice, he had to seek refuge with the Yu family.

-

In order to climb up to this future Nascent Soul giant, even he, the ancestor, was treated like a servant and ordered around at will, which was really not his usual way of doing things.

"Be content, at least you weren't asked to avenge Fang Qingbai."

Yang Huaixu responded coldly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the great demon of unknown origin, but compared to this group of Yuan Yuan's old subordinates who knew him well, that beast was too mysterious.

The unknown means that changes may occur.

He raised his eyelids slightly and continued, "This is the only time. Consider it a chance to stretch your muscles."

Once the Wind-Fixing Pearl is captured and its restrictions are lifted, Yu Jingzhe would be more than happy if his men didn't intervene, lest they steal his thunder.

He is a descendant of a family of immortals, but he has been learning those so-called methods of controlling people since childhood.

If Lao Fang hadn't died, the other side probably wouldn't have wanted to transfer Xue Chan over at all.

"It's time to get out and about, otherwise these beasts will probably forget my reputation soon."

Liu Zhaowu suppressed his feelings of emotion. This trip wasn't a complete waste. He should at least be given a magic sword to keep for self-defense in the future.

Before them, a mere demon lord couldn't cause any trouble.

"Don't let it get away."

""

Yang Huaixu reminded him that the real danger never lies with the demons.

If they return empty-handed, Yu Jingzhe's wrath will be something the two of them will find unbearable.

"rest assured."

Liu Zhaowu chuckled. Even if that demon lord had a few more legs, he still wouldn't be able to move against his thunder magic.

Almost simultaneously, the two brought their sword fingers together and lightly swept them across their eyes.

Golden light, like fire, suddenly leaped up in his pupils.

Thanks to the prodigy of the Yu family, the two of them, as wandering immortals, were fortunate enough to experience the unique magic of a half-life immortal.

In an instant, the image of the "Ten Thousand Miles of Green Mountains and Vast Skies" appeared in their minds.

Before the golden light in his eyes, the dark mountain forest appeared like a treasure map, revealing signs of burning.

The circle of fire expanded rapidly, burning away the illusion, and the ashes drifted down like snowflakes, revealing its true form.

Several majestic peaks stand tall, resembling the palm of a giant.

Yang Huaixu and Liu Zhaowu looked indifferent, their eyes focused, eager to find the talisman holder as soon as possible.

But in the blink of an eye, their expressions froze.

The cold mountain wind howled, and the moonlight was dim and unclear.

On each majestic peak stood a figure; at a cursory glance, there were a total of seven people.

Lingering clouds covered the sky.

They looked down at the two from their elevated position, as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

"What's going on?"

Liu Zhaowu's face twitched violently. He raised his head, his eyes sweeping over the figures with apprehension.

'

Yang Huaixu did not respond, but cursed inwardly.

What's going on? What else could it be!

The brilliant and arrogant immortal in the family, after causing Fang Qingbai's death, was once again made a fool of as a fool!

What utter nonsense about weak defenses! These bastards had already anticipated Yu Jingzhe's intentions and guessed that he would immediately turn his attention here after learning of Fang Qingbai's death.

It's likely that even the fleeing demons were a deliberate illusion created by these people to lure their so-called prodigy into a trap.

However, who is in control of everything? When did such a powerful figure emerge among the demons, daring to manipulate Yu Jingzhe so easily?

Thinking of this, Yang Huaixu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his emotions.

His golden eyes flickered uncertainly, first landing on the four familiar former subordinates of Yuan Yuan.

"Stone Wing————"

Four powerful demons, two in the late stage of the Golden Core realm and two in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

In the eyes of the loose immortals, a demon lord in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm is not particularly troublesome, and even Cao Xuan in the late stage of the Golden Core realm is not that difficult.

The only truly troublesome one is Shi Yi, but the Wind-Fixing Pearl in his hand has little effect on immortal descendants outside the Yu family.

Such a display of force alone is far from enough to ambush the two of them.

Yang Huaixu's gaze went straight to the last three figures. With the help of his immortal abilities, he quickly recognized the cold and beautiful woman as the Azure Sea Demon Lord who had appeared on the treasure map earlier.

Since she came here quietly, it means that—

The Yang family's wandering immortal slowly lowered his eyelids and looked at the two people who looked like master and servant with a gloomy expression.

He sighed dejectedly, "I still couldn't avoid it."

That mysterious demon was surprisingly young, and its ferocious armor clearly indicated it was no ordinary creature.

He truly deserves to be called Yuan Yuan's successor.

Putting everything else aside, his sheer courage in leading a horde of demons to contend with the prodigy already bears a resemblance to that of the Demon King.

However—Yuan Yuan suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Night Wanderer.

Those who are like him, what good end can they possibly have?

"On the other hand, now that I'm actually standing here, it seems there's really no need to avoid it."

A domineering smile appeared on Yang Huaixu's face.

No matter how many schemes and tricks there are, they must ultimately be put into practice.

"If you want to keep that thing of yours for your own use, you'll have to do some hard work today." He glanced to the side, pointing at the incense-burning magic sword.

"It's a bit troublesome, but still within an acceptable range."

Liu Zhaowu had already composed himself. His withered palms calmly emerged from his sleeves, and layers of black scales appeared on his skin in a wave-like pattern.

Black mist enveloped his lower body, and a thick python tail replaced his feet.

"What arrogance!"

Cao Xuan suddenly clenched his fists.

Despite the astonished expressions on the faces of these two wandering immortals, he and the two demon lords who came to lend a hand were no different.

The three of them initially disbelieved that a demon lord whose identity was still unclear could deduce that Yu Jingzhe would take action in this area.

But who could have imagined that Yang Huaixu and Liu Zhaowu would actually walk over like that?

They obeyed as if they were following orders from the Moon-Devouring Demon Lord.

That guess was way too accurate!

If the other party hadn't revealed this information, I would probably be dead tonight.

After thinking it over, Cao Xuan felt a deep sense of lingering fear. Looking at the arrogant appearance of the two rogue immortals, he couldn't help but feel a surge of malice.

Damn it, they dare to be so arrogant even when they're surrounded.

Even if I can't beat you two, I'll risk my life to get as much flesh as possible from you!

"...

Shi Yi looked at Lin Shu with a complicated expression and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Yao."

Unlike them, Jinhe was not skilled in teleportation magic, so it would take him some time to get here. However, the demons had made preparations in advance, so delaying them for a moment was not difficult.

He no longer hesitated and was about to wave his arm to order someone to take action when he was interrupted by a clear voice.

"If you can avoid taking action, then do so."

Lin Shu stood amidst the lingering clouds, quietly gazing down below.

"what?"

Not only was Shi Yi taken aback for a moment, but Cao Xuan and the other two demon lords also looked puzzled.

Although they were grateful to the Moon-Eating Demon Lord for saving their lives, they still didn't quite understand what those words meant.

They've come to our door to attack us, why aren't we doing anything?

Are we supposed to reason with these two rogue immortals?

"retreat."

Lin Shu didn't explain much, but simply gave a soft instruction.

The group concealed their presence using the Bagua symbols on their hands. Currently, it is confirmed that only Cao Xuan has been seen through by the Green Mountain Diagram; the other demon lords may still be in an unknown state.

If everyone acts together, their presence will be exposed.

This made Yu Jingzhe aware that five characters had gathered here, which might attract the arrival of this prodigy.

If it's not necessary, cover it up if possible.

The other demon lords wanted to say something more, but the Stone Wing Demon Lord gritted his teeth, stared at the thin figure covered in ferocious armor, and forcefully waved his arm, saying, "Listen to my command!"

The moment Yang Huaixu and Liu Zhaowu set foot here, it was already proven that the Demon Lord of the Moon Devouring was far more powerful than they could ever imagine.

And there's no need to question the other party's intentions anymore.

After all, if it weren't for his prior arrangements, he would still be by Yuexi's side, and he wouldn't be able to wait here so calmly.

Since the young man has given the order, he must have his reasons. The demons only need to obey!

Upon hearing this, the demon lords had no choice but to suppress their doubts and rush back together.

But within just a few breaths, they realized something was wrong.

Because the person who gave the order did not retreat.

Lingering clouds drifted by, a dark red cloak billowed wildly, and ferocious demonic armor was bathed in moonlight.

Lin Shu stood alone.

Even that ugly man was sent down the mountain by a sudden gust of wind he conjured.

"wrong!"

Stone Wing Demon Lord suddenly realized what was happening.

Brother Devouring Moon Demon did not intend to temporarily avoid the limelight, but rather to face the two rogue immortals alone!

"Are you crazy?!"

Cao Xuan exclaimed in surprise and turned to go back.

Loose Immortals are already the most important figures in Yongzhou. Those cultivators who can surpass them are all extraordinary talents.

Moreover, it's one against two, and who knows if these two have any other tricks up their sleeves.

We are demons! Not those cowardly immortal descendants hiding behind cultivators and disciples, we don't value our lives that much!

The conversation between the two rogue immortals earlier had already revealed their extreme arrogance.

Unexpectedly, there were beings even more arrogant than them —

"Hehehe".

Yang Huaixu suddenly laughed.

This was the first time he had shown such rage since he entered this place.

A wandering immortal can accept being ambushed.

Just like a lion spotting a group of hyenas lurking in a dark corner, it may be a bit tricky, but all it needs to do is tear at them, and the splattered blood and flesh will surely terrify these scoundrels.

But he couldn't stand being looked down upon.

Because—immortals cannot be insulted!

"It seems you can keep that thing safe now."

Yang Huaixu's voice was hoarse. Before he could finish speaking, several feet wide fiery wings had already emerged from his back, and dazzling, gilded feathers surged wildly from beneath his skin.

Those wings, like flowing flames, far surpassed the wings that Stone Wing Demon Lord had formed with demonic power, both in terms of aura and level.

It suddenly trembled.

The gaunt figure soared into the sky, flames flowing out, staining the dark sky red and swallowing the wisps of clouds.

Even the dim crescent moon was illuminated as if it were a burning red golden hook.

Even though he was angered by the youth's arrogance.

But Yang Huaixu did not lose his composure.

This fiend is a traitor to the Qi family; he must have mastered a whole set of divine soul techniques.

This kind of unpredictable method would be incredibly effective against Fang Qingbai, that raging bull, but he wouldn't give him a chance to use it.

"Hey!"

The sea of ​​fire converged and transformed into a magnificent bird that blotted out the sky.

It indifferently looked down upon the world, and then, carrying a wave of heat, swooped down toward the figure on the solitary peak.

Its enormous size and dazzling red light made it seem as if the sun had fallen, trying to melt away this land and its mountains.

Even the demons in the distance felt their skin cracking under the heat, as if all the moisture in their bodies had been evaporated.

This is the power of a wandering immortal!

"You didn't need to stick your neck out."

"Any monster could escape this place today."

"Only you are destined to perish here."

Yang Huaixu was enveloped in crimson flames, with even his eye sockets brimming with flames, making him resemble a fire god.

For Yu Jingzhe, this mysterious demon was probably the thing the other party valued most.

The distance between heaven and earth can be reached in an instant.

However, this wandering immortal from the Yang family suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Because until now, he has not felt any impact on his spirit.

On the solitary peak, the young man's fair face was slightly flushed by the heat, and even his armor gleamed from the heat.

He slightly raised his chin, and his clear, white eyes held not panic, but a faint sense of bewilderment.

What are you wondering about?

Yang Huaixu frowned, but showed no sign of slowing down his movements.

A towering wave of fire engulfed the mountain in an instant.

Lin Shu was actually quite curious.

Fang Qingbai is a three-hoofed bull who specializes in physical training, so he needs to fight in close combat.

But the opponent was a spirit bird that wielded fire magic—

What gives them the right to step into the three feet of ground in front of them?

He really couldn't figure it out, so he decided to take the initiative and test the waters first.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu simply raised her arm.

Enveloped in scorching flames, the skin beneath his armor began to char, and his flesh gradually withered, but this did not prevent him from unleashing his powerful punches.

The next moment, the fist covered by sharp gauntlets plunged into the sea of ​​fire and landed firmly on Yang Huaixu's chest.

Even without deliberate training, the bodies of immortal descendants are far stronger than those of ordinary cultivators.

The wandering immortals are even more extraordinary.

But at that moment, the flames of the Buddha suddenly halted the turmoil.

Yang Huaixu stared blankly down for a long time, only to see that all the feathers on his body were trembling violently. After a short while, they suddenly burst out from the roots, and the flesh beneath the feathers made a loud cracking sound.

Actually, my thoughts are similar to yours.

"He might be able to walk."

"But you definitely can't leave."

Lin Shu smiled slightly, revealing a clean and pure smile.

Pure and unadulterated by any other emotions.

I just want to eat this spirit bird!

The fire magic he had been waiting for was finally being delivered to his doorstep.

Before the words had even finished,

Yang Huaixu's lips trembled, and he let out an uncontrollable howl: "Ahhh!!"

His skin and flesh cracked and split open like a dense spider web, and half of his wings were blown off.

The fiery waves that had blotted out the sky suddenly dissipated.

This renowned immortal was sent flying backwards amidst a shower of sparks from the Buddha Mountain!
