Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 221 The Great Corrupt Official of Yongzhou

The Demon King Yuanyuan cultivated both internal and external skills, which is why he was able to defeat immortals with human strength.

Surprisingly, the Moon-Devouring Demon King, who was initially seen as a weakness, performed in an even more shocking way.

Those blood-red claws that filled the sky actually tore apart the immortal body!

Inside Anren Prefecture, everyone felt a surge of heat rising in their chests, and they felt an uncontrollable urge to cheer.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

The Demon King Yuanyuan showed no joy on his face; instead, he became increasingly solemn, his bare upper body taut as if he were a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment.

His reaction quickly brought everyone back to their senses.

If immortals were truly so easy to deal with, why would Lord Yuanyuan have been reduced to hiding his identity and lying low in Yongzhou for decades, afraid to show himself?

The Night Wanderer was indeed not as exaggerated as the phantom image portrayed.

But beneath his physical form, he is still, in essence, an immortal being who transcends all living beings and is considered a half-life immortal!

"Has that missing piece been made up?" Yuan Yuan asked softly, his breath hot.

"Not yet." Lin Shu shook her head slightly.

The Moon-Eating Wolf ultimately disappointed him.

A million taels of silver is not enough to deduce even a single technique of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Arts; even the lowest level of the Eternal Binding Path is still lacking.

"Okay, I'll take the lead."

Yuan Yuan finished speaking succinctly, and before his words had even faded, his figure had already disappeared into the horizon.

The next moment, a raging wave of blood engulfed the falling wolf shadow.

The vicious whip kick was aimed directly at the neck of the white wolf Yin Xian. This strike not only contained the body tempering cultivation of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, but also carried the lifelong demonic power of Yuan Yuan.

This can be seen from the most basic Moonlit Spell.

The Qi family excels in spiritual techniques, but also practices close-combat methods such as the Radiant Moon Claw Technique.

Yuan Yuan was the one who cultivated the latter to its highest level.

At this moment, his entire body began to turn into jade, and the overwhelming moonlight pierced through the white mist, stained red by his blood and qi, and was absorbed into his limbs and bones.

Years ago, it was this very whip kick that signaled the beginning of the Night Wanderer's decline.

But on the other side of heaven and earth.

Lin Shu also moved.

Clearly, both of them understood the principle of striking while the iron is hot.

Even though it was their first real collaboration, they achieved an unspoken understanding that was perfect.

With his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, Lin Shu unleashed the Thousand Meridians Earth-Covering Body technique, sending thousands of scarlet long legs bursting forth from his body. He leaped across the sky, his fists pounding like collapsing mountains.

The long legs twisted and danced wildly as they converged, transforming into a crimson, hundred-foot-long blade in front of his fist.

The sharp sword, carrying the unstoppable force of thunder, pierced through the sky and thrust upwards towards the white wolf's back.

A near-perfect pincer attack from both sides, orchestrated by two generations of demon kings!

The moment Yuan Yuan blasts the Night Wanderer off the sky, at the most unprepared moment, this thousand-legged sword will precisely tear apart His clay immortal body.

Between heaven and earth.

A dull click echoed in everyone's ears.

The white wolf first raised its left arm horizontally, blocking the whip-like leg at the right moment. Under the most violent impact, it was Yuan Yuan's right leg that broke first.

This half-immortal stiffened his neck, his entire face twitching violently.

"roar!"

Xiu roared, its sharp claws gripping Yuan Yuan's ankle. Its hoarse voice, like a broken gong, let out a wild and unrestrained howl.

"My good disciple, do you know what I've been doing all these years when I've had nothing to do?"

"I might understand you even better than you do."

After decades of sitting in meditation, there wasn't much that Young Master Qi could actually do. One of the most important things was to constantly replay that battle in his mind.

Yuan Yuan's style of doing things, as well as his habits during magical battles, had long been deeply ingrained in his instincts.

""

The imposing man's expression hadn't even had time to change.

The white wolf suddenly turned around, his eyes wide open, and with his free right hand, he swung his fist fiercely, smashing it cleanly and decisively against the incoming scarlet blade with a powerful burst of incense smoke.

Its crimson legs shattered inch by inch, like glass.

Lin Shu's expression changed drastically, and he was thrown backward. Even though his reaction was extremely fast and he immediately chose to escape into the raging wind, the residual power of the Incense Fist Peak was enough to shatter his entire right shoulder, causing it to dissipate like quicksand.

"Ha!"

A three-zhang-tall figure stood proudly in the sky.

He single-handedly defeated two great demon kings at the same time.

Even without that illusory physical form, He remains invincible!

With intermittent, heavy breathing, Young Master Qi's face was still twitching, clearly indicating that his inner emotions were far less composed than they appeared.

My first battle since reappearing in the human world has been dragged into such an undignified state by these two beasts.

This filled His eyes with gloom.

"The Prisoner's Hand!"

Young Master Qi had no intention of letting the young man go. He swung his right hand from his sleeve, turning it into a fist and then into a palm, his five sharp fingers forming a claw-like grip.

In the hazy white mist, countless indistinct outlines suddenly appeared.

These figures exuded a chilling aura; anything from the mortal realm that came into contact with them would have its magic frozen and its body stiff.

"Die!"

Mortal cultivators cannot understand its mysteries.

However, Yuan Yuan's sudden roar, his decisive act of shattering his right foot to break free of his restraints, and his frantic punch at the white wolf, all demonstrate the dangerous nature of this immortal technique.

He had clearly suffered greatly from this move, Yin Yu Prison, before.

Boom!Boom!

Young Master Qi took two punches to the face.

Strangely, the lifelike wolf head on the sleeve emitted a muffled sound like a stone artifact, and instead of blood flowing out, it developed a barely perceptible crack.

This is one of the reasons why immortals are so powerful.

Even setting aside their authority and supernatural powers, these clay statues of gods themselves already surpass most living beings in the world. Not to mention cultivators, even immortal descendants can only look up to them but not reach them.

"Don't rush, after I deal with him, it will be your turn."

Young Master Qi smiled cruelly and immediately launched a counterattack.

Immortals and powerful demons, renowned for their divine soul techniques, actually engaged in a battle resembling that of wild beasts within the city of Anren.

The world was shrouded in white mist; this was a forbidden zone where even sudden gusts of wind prohibited passage.

Riding the wind to patrol the mountains?

joke!

This is the underworld; mountains, seas, wind, and fire are all at my command!

Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment before his cheek was torn apart by the sharp claws, but he still couldn't help but look up at the sky.

It should be noted that, according to the plan agreed upon by the two, less than one-third of it has been implemented at this point.

It's fair to say that the real battle of wits never even began.

Lin Shu's performance was already excellent, even exceeding his original expectations.

But this is not an assessment, but a life-or-death struggle.

There's no such thing as excellent or bad; if it's not enough, ... and if it's not enough, it'll cost you your life!

"Still dare to get distracted?"

Young Master Qi chuckled; he had never experienced such a thoroughly enjoyable feeling.

With the help of the Night Wanderer's immortal body, he was finally able to avenge his previous humiliation and experience the feeling of completely suppressing this traitor.

As for the young man surnamed Lin, he turned out just as expected.

This is the underworld; the other side has no way out.

"."

Sure enough, a sudden gust of wind swept into the air, but it could not break through the white mist.

Surrounded and intercepted by a dense array of figures, the figure in black robes was finally forced to reveal itself.

Lin Shu watched the evil spirits surging towards her feet, feeling the flow of blood in her body slow down, and the golden peak talisman hidden on her body seemed to gradually fall into slumber under the aura of the underworld.

He truly deserves to be called a half-life immortal.

It is like mastering all techniques, without the slightest flaw or weakness.

To win, one must first transcend boundaries.

"Sirius - The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls".

Amidst countless worried gazes, Lin Shu remained expressionless, slowly extending his five fingers. In an instant, a ghostly soul banner swaying in the wind appeared in his palm.

Ten Thousand Soul Banners?

Before Young Master Qi could even turn around, a playful smile had already crept onto his face.

He knew that the Qi family's magical treasure had long since fallen into the other party's hands.

But isn't it a bit absurd to use a Yin-Yang magical artifact to deal with a celestial official who is in charge of the order of the underworld?

But before the mocking voice could even leave his lips, the white wolf's face suddenly turned horrified, for he caught a glimpse of golden light out of the corner of his eye.

What the hell is this Ten Thousand Souls Banner?

If he weren't so self-assured, he would have already started swearing.

As a celestial official in the underworld, I am in charge of the souls of those who have perished, whether human or beast.

But those enormous shadows that appeared one after another in the sky, these things clad in golden armor, wielding long spears, and indifferently looking down upon the mortal world, could clearly no longer be called simple dead souls.

The dense military formation, like heavenly soldiers and generals, stretched out behind the young man like a long dragon.

As Lin Shu's gaze moved.

"roar!

'

A unified, low roar that soared into the sky shattered countless shadowy outlines with a crisp, clean sound.

The golden light was like the blazing sun, and the white mist melted away like grease.

Even Young Master Qi felt a stinging pain in his back; those sharp, piercing gazes seemed to be a silent accusation.

Ghosts roam the earth daily, and the underworld is in chaos.

What crime should be punished?

Lin Shu lowered her eyes, her voice icy: "Kill!"

As the words fell, thousands of figures, like a golden river, flowed down from the sky.

"Still dare to get distracted?"

Yuan Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart.

Although he knew that Lin Shu possessed a rare treasure from the mountains and seas, he had only heard of it by name and this was the first time he had witnessed the full power of such a treasure.

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Yuan Yuan pinned the white wolf to the ground and rained down punches upon it.

As these golden-armored figures surged forward, engulfing the two of them, an unstoppable smile appeared on his blood-stained face.

The plan to tie the game is already halfway complete.

At this moment, the handsome young man stood on the cloud, holding the soul banner, commanding thousands of troops to charge downwards like a general.

On the contrary, the Night Wanderer, with his burly body, could only roll around on the ground in a sorry state, waving his arms wildly, barely managing to defend against the long spear that was being slashed at him.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell which was the celestial official and which was the great demon.

"You wicked beast! How dare you fabricate the Yin God Army Formation!"

Young Master Qi never imagined that his return as an immortal would lead to such a wretched situation.

Xiu's eyes were bloodshot, and her neck was being tightly gripped by that ant-like man.

"I think he's much more reliable than you."

"If he had been the one who joined me in that attack, the Night Wanderer would probably still be hiding somewhere, rebuilding his immortal form."

"I really didn't expect you to be such a waste—fortunately, he gave me the opportunity to experience the feeling of personally slaying an immortal."

As their eyes met, Yuan Yuan's voice became rapid, trembling with excitement.

Veins bulged on his forehead, all his attention was focused on that thick neck, blood was drawn from the tiger's mouth, but he still refused to let go.

"You probably won't beg for mercy like you did back then, will you?"

"...

'

Faced with Yuan Yuan's repeated provocations.

Young Master Qi's eyes gradually returned to normal from their furious redness.

Even with his neck gripped, His voice remained deep and resonant: "Are you deliberately provoking me?"

The massive white wolf gave up struggling, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly revealed a strange smile: "Disciple, you still haven't figured out one thing. The reason I was able to replace that old thing is because I am stronger than him."

"In every way, he is superior to Him!"

"I always know in my heart that things like gains and losses, or grudges, only have meaning if you win first."

As the white wolf uttered each word.

Yuan Yuan's heart suddenly sank.

Immediately afterwards, he heard again the voice that had terrified him for decades.

"The underworld, ferry the departed souls—"

The white wolf's eyes were filled with moonlight, and his entire face became devoid of joy or sorrow.

Immediately afterwards, His body suddenly became illusory.

The moment Yuan Yuan realized that his hands had grasped at empty air, his expression turned extremely ugly.

The fact that he and Young Master Qi were separated by two realms meant that this move was not aimed at him.

In the chaotic city of Anren, white mist swept across the land, and accompanied by a tremendous roar, a dark archway rapidly rose from the ground.

Young Master Qi's figure flickered out and then stood in front of the archway.

Along with his figure, the youth in the sky also became illusory.

Two jet-black chains had somehow crossed space and were now firmly bound to Lin Shu's arms.

The three-zhang-tall white wolf had a hunched back, resembling a shepherd leading cattle on a rope.

The last time He turned back, He looked at Yuan Yuan with a playful expression and said in a deep, meaningful voice, "Wait for me to come back."

Then, Young Master Qi slowly stepped into the dark archway, and disappearing with him was the Moon-Devouring Demon King, who was holding a rare treasure from the mountains and seas.

The white mist dissipated, and the entire city of Anren instantly returned to its original state.

Apart from the broken walls and ruins, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

"Lin Shu!"

Yu Sheng took off and frantically searched around.

No matter how loudly she shouted, there was no response from the heavens.

A living person simply vanished from the world without a trace, as if they had never existed in this mortal realm.

Where is my Lin Shu?

Yu Sheng suddenly rushed to Yuan Yuan's side, her tearful eyes wide open, and shook his shoulders forcefully with both hands.

The demons arrived one after another, all staring anxiously at the lord.

"Father!" came Su Xin's sharp cry.

The man swayed slightly as he regained his senses, his gaze sweeping blankly over the crowd. He licked his dry lips and said softly, "The plan failed."

1

"What plan—tell me quickly, what plan?" Yu Sheng was trembling all over. Despite their bloodline connection, this was the first time she had completely lost all feeling for Lin Shu.

Yuan Yuan did not respond further, but stared blankly in the direction of the archway.

Actually, what the two of them agreed on was very simple.

Because dealing with immortals isn't that complicated, or rather, there aren't many options.

It consists of only three steps.

First and foremost, we must withstand Young Master Qi's initial offensive. This is the most basic requirement. If we cannot achieve this, everything else is just empty talk.

The second step involves that great battle from back then.

At that time, perhaps because the immortals held demons in too much contempt, Yuan Yuan achieved the same effect as he does today all by himself.

Just when he thought victory was in his grasp and that the immortals were nothing more than this.

The Night Wanderer abandoned fighting with magic and instead used the authority that belonged to immortals.

It was that dark archway.

Yuan Yuan inexplicably went to the underworld, where his proud demonic power and physique lost their effect, leaving only the white wolf tearing at his soul in the most cruel way.

Caught off guard, he suffered a crushing defeat, one that he could not forget even after he became mentally impaired.

That's why Yuan Yuan told Lin Shu that the chances of winning were zero.

No one can defeat a celestial official in the underworld; it's not something that can be changed simply by having more cultivation.

This time, however, he was mentally prepared.

With his previous experience, Yuan Yuan was confident that he could exhaust Young Master Qi's mental strength before his soul was torn apart.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Shu did not use her full strength in order to minimize her presence and to keep her distance from Young Master Qi from start to finish.

The Moon-Eating Wolf's magical power had already been completely poured into the Mountain God's Chariot.

They were just waiting for Yuan Yuan and his opponent to emerge from their fierce battle in the underworld.

The moment he returned from the underworld, exhausted, what awaited him was the magical treasure from the mountains and seas, which, with the might of the mountain god's chariot, would utterly shatter his immortal body.

Although immortals are immortal, it still takes time to rebuild their immortal bodies.

This gave the demons more room to maneuver.

This is what is known as a "draw".

In terms of sentiment, Yuan Yuan was a "traitor" who betrayed Young Master Qi, and had even tried to kill him years ago, making him a true enemy.

From a profit perspective, Lin Shu is a fragment of Young Master Qi's soul, and every loss he suffers will affect Young Master Qi's gains.

From any perspective, it should be oneself who is dragged into the underworld.

'

The Demon King Yuanyuan fell silent and closed his eyes.

Even he had to admit that Young Master Qi was truly constrained by his bloodline. Putting that aside, he was far more difficult to deal with than the Night Wanderer from back then.

They are greedy enough, yet they can maintain extreme rationality.

No one in Yongzhou was more greedy than him, nor was anyone as tolerant.

Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, there are no more obstacles in its path!

The surroundings were completely silent.

Even Su Xin was seeing such a desperate expression on her father's face for the first time.

The first great demon king to dare to attack an immortal, ultimately felt powerless in front of an immortal descendant.

Unfortunately, everyone's attention was drawn to Young Master Qi's laughter as he left.

So no one noticed that just as the two iron chains wrapped around his arms, Lin Shu in the sky slowly rubbed his cheeks with his palms and let out a long breath.

He needed to cover the smile he couldn't suppress with his hand, and his handsome face and eyes were filled with an indescribable greed.

I finally fell for it —

Since the descendants of immortals can seize a half-life of immortal status.

Why can't that demon do it?

Lin left Blackwater City, took the Ink Dragon Sword and Bracelet, entered Yongzhou Pass, and seized the Mountain God's Treasure Mirror.

There's no reason for someone to enter Yongzhou and then ignore the best treasures.

Good things belong to those with virtue.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Young Master Qi, Lin Shu even held back from Yuan Yuan.

The million taels of silver and two hundred taels of karmic fire gold essence that created the immortal descendant of the mountains and seas were precisely what he had prepared for this moment.
