Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 222 The Immortal Was Actually Me

Even as her cultivation level steadily increased, Lin Shu's original intention never changed.

The priority is still to secure one's basic needs before considering anything else.

But the simple word "settling down" has become increasingly complicated.

His initial idea was simply to win over Su Xin, to have more helpers, so that they could work together to deal with Young Master Qi.

This is a typical street survival strategy: two fists can't beat four hands, and numbers are the only way to win.

But later, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Especially after going to the Great Shun Dynasty and broadening her horizons, Lin Shu realized a fatal problem.

Young Master Qi is merely a descendant of immortals; even if he were killed, the predicament of himself and the demons would still remain unresolved.

Even without Young Master Qi, the celestial inspectors would still be present, along with members of the Dragon Palace clan and their subordinates, to purge the demons without any powerful backing.

There are solutions, though.

Joining the Heavenly Demon Palace is at least a good option.

But this method can only save a few people, such as myself and Yu Sheng, Yuan Yuan and Su Xin.

As for those who had been working for the Moon-Devouring Demon Banner since long ago, including Elder Xu, Xie Yutang, and others, as well as Qian Yiru who joined later, and even the many demon lords led by Jinhe—

Neither their strength nor their talent are enough to qualify them for the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Lin Shu doesn't consider herself a soft-hearted person.

However, just because he has entered the Nascent Soul realm and has a way to escape, he will not forget the help and care these people once gave him, nor will he shamelessly say that he is abandoning them for the sake of the "big picture".

Moreover, judging from the behavior of the Heavenly Demon Palace, relying on others is by no means a long-term solution and may very well lead to new troubles.

He was eager to come up with a new way to break the deadlock.

But whether it's the Hengshui Dragon Palace or the so-called higher-level immortals, it seems that they are not beings that can be caught up with in a short time by doing good deeds and doing evil deeds.

If you can't win but still want to live, what should you do?

Lin Shu finally gained a hint of insight from Young Master Qi's experience.

What if I could also have an "official position"?

What the Demon King couldn't protect even at the cost of his life, let a half-life immortal protect!

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

This was the more reliable path he had been trying to find, as he had previously told Yuan Yuan.

However, to possess the Night Wanderer's body, one must recreate the scene from back then, placing oneself in the position of Young Master Qi decades ago and doing what the other had done.

Not only was Lin Shu completely clueless about the mysteries involved, but even Yuan Yuan, another participant in the event, didn't know much about the immortals.

Therefore, he could only rely on Young Master Qi to personally bring him to this "position".

""

Yuan Yuan's plan failed, but at this moment, Lin Shu's plan has just begun.

He finally arrived in the underworld.

And then, it's time to fight for your life.

For Lin Shu, crossing that dark archway felt like an extremely long dream.

I felt completely exhausted and in a daze.

His body became as heavy as if it were filled with lead, yet inexplicably floated and uncontrollably surged upwards.

The surroundings were a desolate, silent blackness, with thick white fog forming wispy patterns that obscured the view and made it impossible to see the road ahead.

Lin Shu tried to adapt to the change, and the first thing she saw when she came to her senses was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

The young man's posture was as if he were soaking in water, his hair gently swaying, his eyes closed, and his head slightly lowered.

The other person was dressed in black robes, tall and slender, with a fair and handsome face, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a very obvious discomfort.

Two chilling iron chains were wrapped around his arms, the other ends of which hung high and disappeared into the vast, fluffy white mist.

Seeing "oneself" at such close range is undoubtedly a rather eerie experience.

With just a glance, Lin Shu understood how Yuan Yuan had lost back then.

Even a powerful demon king, skilled in both internal and external cultivation, couldn't withstand having his soul extracted from his body, rendering him unable to use his full abilities.

Honestly, the fact that they managed to escape alive under those circumstances is already quite admirable.

For example, right now, Lin Shu stared intently at the young man's palm, his gaze falling on the storage ring between the other's fingers. He knew very well that there were two rare treasures from the mountains and seas inside, but he couldn't take them out no matter what he did.

This reminded him of a mythological novel he had read in his previous life.

Inside was a naturally born stone monkey who first traveled across the ocean to learn powerful magic, and then borrowed an indestructible weapon from the Dragon Palace.

Such a powerful person, after getting drunk, had his soul led to the underworld by the underworld officials.

Of course, even after the monkey became a wandering ghost, it could still pull out weapons from its ears and wreak havoc in the underworld.

After a few attempts, Lin Shu realized that he did not have the ability; he could not even return to the body that was below him.

Soon, mocking laughter rang out in front of him.

"I've already said I've won."

The elegant young man, whose clothes were spotless, stood proudly, holding the other end of the iron chain in his hand.

He wasn't talking to Lin Shu, but was laughing at the chaotic mass next to him.

The Night Wanderer witnessed everything, his whole body radiating deep sorrow. These beasts, whom he had always looked down upon, had indeed not disappointed him in the end.

They remain as useless as ever.

Despite the two demons' ruthless attacks and the use of extraordinary treasures, they did not actually harm Young Master Qi's soul at all.

"Old man, you're getting old, so give up your position and see how I can be a good immortal."

Young Master Qi's smile widened, but a chilling glint appeared in his eyes.

Clearly, His previous encounter in the mortal realm had already enraged Him, and now that He has returned to His own territory, He is bound to settle scores with Him.

"A very good soul, much more powerful than I imagined."

"But no matter what your background is, once you come here, you have to obediently kneel before me."

His breathing was slightly rapid as he gazed at the divine soul that had detached from his body.

It's no wonder I took such a huge risk to intercept this body back then. The other party, as a cultivator, was able to condense such a powerful divine soul even after losing his Dao-patterned heart, which is even comparable to the Nascent Soul Immortal Descendant of the Silver-Eyed White Wolf Clan.

What incredible talent!

Now, this body, along with the other person's soul, will belong to me.

"Now that things have come to this, do you still harbor any delusions? Show yourself!"

With a sudden burst of strength from his arms, the iron chains rattled, causing the soul, which was already halfway out of the body, to be pulled even further outward.

Night Wanderers, half-immortals, are in charge of guiding the souls of the dead.

The stern rebuke seemed to carry a suppressive force, capable of directly shattering the souls of the dead.

"My lifespan is not yet over, yet you forcibly lead me to the underworld."

Despite this overwhelming pressure, Lin Shu suddenly spoke up and asked, "Isn't that against the rules?"

"rule?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Qi paused for a moment, then his face revealed undisguised sarcasm as he sneered, "You'll soon understand that here, my word is law."

Lin Shu's attention was not on the other person.

Everyone here is thinking about usurping the throne, so why pretend to be a big shot? I bet this young master Qi doesn't even understand the rules of the underworld.

His peripheral vision remained fixed on the chaotic gray mist beside him.

That must be the Night Wanderer who has been torn apart and lost his original form.

After I die, the next one should be this half-immortal.

If there is any real change in the situation, the other party won't just sit and wait to die.

This means that Young Master Qi's judgment was accurate; the Night Wanderer's authority was sufficient to make him a local tyrant in this area, free from the control of others.

Since that's the case—

Lin Shu's eyes darkened, and she stopped resisting the immense force emanating from the iron chains.

His soul, which had already been partially extracted, was slowly oozing out, and in just a few more breaths, it would be completely ripped from his body.

Young Master Qi's expression gradually became heated.

My choice was right!

If it were an experienced old demon like Yuan Yuan, he would definitely fight back fiercely. At that time, if this fiend joined forces with the old man next to him, he might actually be able to hurt Him.

In contrast, Lin Shu, a newcomer, looked utterly bewildered, which was extremely comical.

As a demon, he has actually become so desperate that he resorts to threatening himself with the help of immortals.

"I will show you the consequences of betraying me. You will experience everything that Yuan Yuan went through, and even several times more."

His lips parted to reveal gleaming white teeth, and with a sudden tug of his arms, the soul finally left his body, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu seemed to be stunned, her face remaining calm as she silently cast her gaze.

Young Master Qi's pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly realized that the sensation in his hand was wrong.

The boy had clearly detached from the body, but it seemed that something else was still connected to him.

Chi Chi!

Then another sound, similar to scalding oil splashing, rang out.

Between Lin Shu's bare feet, dark flames flickered, a situation clearly not typical of a cultivator.

But now that things have come to this, how could Young Master Qi possibly back down?

"You're playing tricks! Get out here!"

He exerted his strength again, and his handsome face suddenly became somewhat ferocious.

Rumble—

Lin Shu's soul was dragged by a tremendous force and suddenly soared into the sky. He did not use any magic incantations because his body had already been frozen by the Yin energy, and his magic power was completely immobilized.

Unlike Yuan Yuan, he did not charge forward in his soul form to fight the underworld messenger to the death.

Lin Shu simply stood quietly.

The previously rippling flames, under Young Master Qi's force, were suddenly pulled from the body, transforming into a colossal sea of ​​fire that supported the drifting soul.

Young Master Qi stared blankly at the sky, his gaze fixed on the giant shadow he had personally torn out.

Two red lights suddenly appeared in the surging black sea of ​​fire.

Like a lantern, like a blood moon.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly realized that these were eyes of unimaginably large size.

The moment the blood-red eyes appeared, the sea of ​​fire began to twist, gradually transforming into the silhouette of a towering mountain.

A giant wolf with two horns on its forehead and golden stripes between its brows!

The crimson light began to solidify, and pupils appeared in the blood-red eyes.

Its fur is black, swaying in the wind, and its four sturdy legs stand like pillars in all directions.

"call."

Lin Shu stood leisurely atop the giant wolf's head, between its two sharp horns.

His loose-fitting clothes made his strong physique appear somewhat thin.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looking down at the tiny, mayfly-like figures below, and finally stopped hiding the smile on his lips.

As he moved, the Moon-Eating Wolf slowly lowered its head.

The clear, black and white eyes, and the blood-red, enormous pupils, both revealed the same greed and cruelty.

The clear voice and the deep growl intertwined, creating an eerie sound.

"I'm out, and then what?"

'

Young Master Qi's neck throbbed, and he instinctively took a few steps back.

I've seen a ghost!

He was a peerless genius of the immortal sects, a ruthless individual who dared to possess the body of his own immortal.

Faced with such a colossal object, his mind went blank, and he only felt suffocated.

The iron chain in his hand was still wrapped around the wolf, but it seemed so fragile and vulnerable.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Feeling lost and helpless, Young Master Qi cast a pleading look at Chaos beside him.

Just like when he was being chased by Yuan Yuan back then, he instinctively placed his hopes on the ancestor.

Faced with this situation, the Night Wanderer should have felt incredibly relieved.

But Ke's mind was not on this vicious race at all. Instead, she was staring up at the giant wolf in a daze, her gaze falling on the golden markings between its brows.

The next moment, the golden vertical stripe bloomed like a flower.

The skin and flesh below were also torn apart.

The rich, almost dripping golden light transformed into imposing vertical pupils that made people afraid to look directly at them.

Under the gaze of vertical pupils.

The clothes on Young Master Qi's body instantly shattered, and white hair sprouted from his cheeks and body. His entire body also uncontrollably prostrated itself.

Before long, it had transformed into a trembling white wolf.

It's like a stray dog ​​worshipping the wolf king.

Young Master Qi quickly realized just how disheveled he looked.

A surge of intense grief and indignation welled up from the depths of his heart.

He was a young master revered throughout Yongzhou. Even under this oppressive pressure, whose bones were on the verge of shattering, he still fought back fiercely!

How could a young and impetuous person endure such a humiliation!

"Ho! Ho! Roar!"

He was panting heavily, his spine was erect, and his limbs were trembling as he tried to stand up again.

However, the silent black flames on his body, devoid of any heat, were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the anger in Young Master Qi's heart.

That was the saliva of a giant wolf.

He slowly raised his head and saw the terrifying head that was now almost within reach.

Young Master Qi's silver eyes nearly exploded, and his half-open mouth trembled violently.

What finally broke down the last shred of defense in my heart was the respectful trembling voice that rang out beside me.

"This humble deity pays respects to the venerable immortal."

That damned old bastard actually called this lowly split soul that dared to defy him—an immortal?!

The chaotic gray mist tried to curl up on the ground.

Those golden, vertical pupils already revealed the other party's identity.

Although I don't recognize this giant wolf, nor do I know which lineage of mountain and sea immortal it belongs to, whether it is from the underworld or the mortal realm.

But official rank is official rank, and immortality is immortality.

The latter is what truly determines the status of an immortal.

Although this giant wolf was strange, it possessed the qualities of a celestial being but lacked the corresponding aura of authority and the strength befitting its noble status. It looked as if it had just been born.

However, as long as one possesses the Mountain and Sea Immortal Rank, even if one is temporarily out of the public eye and does not hold a formal position, one can fill in any vacancy at any time.

"Actually, I quite agree with what you said earlier."

Lin Shu slowly approached Young Master Qi, half-squatted on the ground, and reached out her palm to lift the white wolf's chin.

He casually straightened his head: "People have to accept getting old, and when it's time to step down, they should."

Their eyes met, and Lin Shu said in a gentle voice with a smile, "But is there any possibility that, in front of me, you're also an old man?"

,

Young Master Qi stared at the face and suddenly felt that it looked quite familiar.

That faint smile, and the fierceness hidden in his eyes, seemed to be things he was once most proud of.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu didn't give him much time to think.

The young man patted the dog's head, slowly stood up, and the moment he turned around, his eyes turned icy cold.

"They ate them."

Upon receiving the order, the Moon-Eating Wolf eagerly opened its blood-red maw.

Faced with those sharp fangs and a throat that seemed like an abyss, Young Master Qi's emotions finally broke down.

He wanted to take everything from Lin Shu, but he never expected that the other party thought the same way.

His soul, his immortal status, and even his ancestors all became food for this fiend!

"Immortal, I know I was wrong!!"

"laugh."

Hearing the desperate cries behind her, Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

They put so much pressure on me for so long.

Now that you've lost the bet, you finally think about getting off the table.

"Whoosh!"

The raging black flames swept across this cold and gloomy land. The wolf cub never imagined that it would one day be able to turn the tables and devour the main soul.

Thinking of this, it chewed with even more relish.

Lin Shu stopped smiling and looked at the chains floating in the air.

Things went much more smoothly than he had imagined.

I thought it would be a life-or-death battle, but I never expected that the pressure from the immortal would be so terrifying.

If the Moon-Eating Wolf is this terrifying, what kind of power must a true immortal from the mountains and seas possess?

"Tsk tsk."

Lin Shu felt a pang of emotion.

His gaze sharpened slightly as he began to try to draw upon the wolf cub's power.

next moment.

The dark chains in the air swayed slightly twice as he looked at them.

The crisp, rustling sound was incredibly pleasant to the ear.

The wispy white mist that had been obscuring our vision gradually receded to both sides and then disappeared completely.

The scene that reappeared was a gloomy and desolate path, with gusts of cold wind howling.

But aside from these anomalies, it doesn't look much different from a country path in the mortal world.

Seeing this, Lin Shu's slightly tense mind slowly relaxed.

He didn't even rush back into his body.

Just as Young Master Qi said earlier, right now, on this very spot beneath our feet...

His words are the rules.
