Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 223 Lin Shu is already a candle flickering in the wind.

Splash!

As the white mist dissipated, the two chains loosened from Lin Shu's body and spontaneously swam towards one end of the path.

The dark stone statues sat quietly by the roadside, looking no different from those in the temples of Yongzhou City back then.

The chains returned to its arms, coiling around them like a snake.

"Immortal—or rather, immortal status?"

As Lin Shu drifted to the lifelike statue, a burning passion welled up in her heart.

For any living being in the world, immortality is an irresistible temptation, and he was no exception.

Although, judging from the current situation, only the physical body is immortal.

However, it should be noted that after expending a huge amount of evil silver, Lin Shu's painstakingly deduced Phoenix Stealing Heaven Technique only has one chance to take someone's place in death.

The stone statue in front of us can be reshaped countless times!

"hiss."

A burning pain shot through Lin Shu's fingertips.

He then realized that he had unknowingly reached out his hand towards the stone statue, but his soul had not been able to merge into it.

According to Yuan Yuan's previous statement, Young Master Qi dared to have the idea of ​​seizing the ancestor's immortal position because he saw the news of a certain immortal being demoted on the jade tablet.

This means that the position of immortal is given to someone else.

Why is the statue still shaped like a wolf?

Lin Shu frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

He didn't necessarily want this immortal position; he just couldn't quite understand it.

Now that both Young Master Qi and Night Wanderer have been devoured by the Moon-Eating Wolf, the immortal position should be vacant. Shouldn't it be occupied by the virtuous? Why does it still bear the mark of the Qi family?

"The celestial position is the same as an official position —"

He muttered to himself for a long time, then suddenly realized something.

If you consider this statue as an official seal, you can understand it.

If you want to hand over the official seal to someone else, you must first get the approval of the imperial court. Just like a change of position, if someone is demoted, someone else can be promoted.

But since he wasn't part of the imperial court, it was essentially a covert assassination of an official and the seizure of the imperial seal.

In the eyes of Heaven and Earth, the official seal still belongs to the Night Wanderer of the Qi Family, and its power naturally cannot be handed over to the "murderer".

Young Master Qi was able to succeed because he was originally a descendant of the White Wolf Immortal created by the Night Wanderer God. He could be understood as a blood relative who looked very much like the official, which is why he was able to impersonate the ancestor and take his place in the immortal realm.

"never mind."

Lin Shu shook her head.

He was just trying it out; he didn't really intend to become a night watchman himself.

After all, the materials used to create this dark statue were truly strange.

The subtle sense of oppression from the prison above is enough to make one quite wary just by looking at it once.

Once you're inside, it's not easy to get out if something unexpected happens.

No wonder Young Master Qi wanted to leave himself an escape route outside.

"You got off easy."

Lin Shu turned around and, following the original plan, nodded slightly towards the Moon Devouring Wolf.

With a long howl, the wolf spirit transformed into a vast river of black flames, rapidly surging into the stone statue.

It was originally a fragment of Young Master Qi's soul that had devoured the vast evil silver, making it essentially the same as the Night Wanderer. Now, it has been bestowed with the title of Immortal of Mountains and Seas, making it easy for it to assume the position of a half-life immortal.

Click!Click!

The stone trembled, the statue's eyes slowly opened, its fur swayed, and its body transformed back into the form of a white wolf.

Lin Shu then spread out his hand and extracted a fragment of the wolf's shadow soul, keeping it on his body. This would not only make it easier to contact the wolf cubs in the future, but also allow him to continue using this fragment to deduce the cultivation technique.

"Owner----"

The Night Wanderer uttered hoarse calls, as if trying to explain something, but he wasn't used to speaking human language.

After grimacing for a moment, Xiu simply reached out and touched the space between his eyebrows.

"You can do that?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, and found that she could actually use the wolf cub's soul to send her consciousness into the statue and experience what it was like to be an immortal.

It's similar to how he used his essence and blood to observe the world through Yu Sheng's five senses.

rustling.

He manipulated the statue to rise, and the sound of the eerie wind in his ears became much clearer.

Within the statue's gaze, the surrounding environment changed once again.

Along the unfamiliar path, serpentine white mist served as guides, spreading outwards in all directions, extremely vast, seemingly representing the area covered by the authority of the Night Wanderer.

"So, it seems I have jurisdiction over the entire underworld of Yongzhou?"

"Tsk, then I should also have a boss."

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow.

After the wolf cubs finished digesting the souls of the two white wolves, they quickly sent back the corresponding message.

Night Wanderer, Deputy Commander of the Underworld.

Other beings of the same level include the Day-Roaming Gods and the Ghost Kings of various regions.

Half a level above that is the Underworld Marshal, also known as Impermanence.

But this doesn't count as his superior, because everyone is in the same category of half-immortals.

His proper superior was a clerk surnamed Liu, who was none other than the true Immortal of Mountains and Seas.

"What is the Hengshui Dragon King? Is he on par with Liu Gongcao?" Lin Shu had no intention of making an enemy of Hengshui, but even if it was just for self-preservation, she had to find out what level the other party was at first.

"The Gongcao is only responsible for recording and transmitting messages, and doesn't have much real power. The one who can truly rival the Hengshui Dragon King is the Judge who oversees the responsibilities of the Hengshui lineage of the underworld," the wolf cub replied earnestly.

"call."

Lin Shu counted on her fingers and let out a long breath.

He finally understood why the Half-Immortal was so eager for incense offerings.

As the deputy commander, above him are the Yin Marshal Wuchang, then the Gongcao, and only then the Judge—

Despite the large size of the area it manages, this is definitely a grassroots unit.

"Fine, grassroots it is then. Local officials are more powerful than county officials, at least I've at least got my feet on the door."

According to Lin Shu's plan, he would kill immortals, impersonate officials, deceive his superiors and subordinates, and secretly hide the demons of Yongzhou from under the nose of Hengshui Dragon Palace.

To get this done properly, only a local immortal from Yongzhou could accomplish it.

However, there is still one problem.

There's more than one demigod in Yongzhou!

Although Lin Shu also wanted to do the same and use the phantom of the Azure Phoenix to possess the Mountain God, once the news of the Night Wanderer's arrival in Anren Prefecture spread, catching up with the Mountain God, who was known for his speed, would be like a pipe dream.

The other party could also report him to higher authorities at any time.

Lin Shu, who had just relaxed, suddenly felt an unbearable headache again.

Why is it so hard to have a piece of land of your own?

Just as he was worrying, the wolf cub brought some "good news".

"Master, it seems He has arrived."

Among the half-immortals, there is a connection between them, let alone the two old partners, White Wolf and Azure Phoenix, who are even more familiar with each other.

Even though they are now separated by life and death, the wolf cub still sensed the man's arrival.

"Um?

'

The young man paused for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.

It seems like your Uncle Lin is finally going to settle down completely.

The wind howled.

The vast city of Anren was no longer in turmoil, only deathly silence remained.

As the white mist dissipated, the Demon King and the Night Wanderer vanished from the mortal realm. Even ordinary mortals with no cultivation could easily escape this place of trouble.

But in the middle of the city, many figures still stood.

Yuan Yuan stood there, his gaze unfocused, looking somewhat lost and dejected. Yu Sheng, on the other hand, had already broken down emotionally, staring blankly at the empty void.

Neither the Demon King nor the Mountain Chief showed any intention of issuing further orders.

This means that everyone can leave on their own.

But no one left.

Whether it was the great demons like Jinhe Shiyi, or the demon-suppressing generals led by Su Jingci.

-

Qian Yiru, who joined halfway through, and Xie Yutang and Xu Lao, who carried the banner of evil from the very beginning.

Even Old Yang, whose cultivation was so weak that it could be said to be almost non-existent, stood there stunned, supported by Jin Gui.

Chang Yi gripped the knife handle again and again.

Before a half-life immortal, all beings are equal, from Nascent Soul Demon Kings to ordinary mortals; in reality, there is no difference.

They couldn't change anything, but they still chose to stay.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was the closest the demons—or rather, the mortal cultivators—had ever come to defeating an immortal.

They risked their lives, disregarding survival, just to see with their own eyes the outcome that might have been predetermined.

Then, along with this result, they vanished into the world.

"Mountain God, shall we make our move now?"

On a distant cloud-covered peak, Yu Zhanming rubbed his hands together excitedly: "We can't let the Qi family steal the limelight!"

Those powerful demons and traitors are all gathered together like fools right now. Isn't this a walking achievement?

Ahead, the aged figure stood with its back to him, offering no response whatsoever.

"Well."

Yu Zhanming took a moment to realize what was happening, his face full of embarrassment.

For the mountain god, there is no need for any merit.

In essence, "merit" is nothing more than bait thrown out by the other party to get the immortal descendants to work for them.

Not to mention the mountain god, even I won't need this thing after today.

The Yu family descendants were either dead or scattered, and the only remaining prodigy even chose to betray the family in a fit of madness.

He, Yu Zhanming, was already the only choice for the Mountain God. It could be said that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was a sure thing. At worst, he would just have to follow the path of the Tongxuan Ancestor again.

They actually dominated a generation in this way?

Yu Zhanming swallowed hard, his eyes filled with absurdity and disbelief.

How could someone who did nothing become someone like Master Qi?

Of course, there was some exaggeration in becoming the chief in this way, but after decades or centuries, when the next generation comes, who would dare to question this newly appointed clan elder!

The younger person's intense emotions did not affect the elderly person in front of them.

66

"

The mountain god of Yujia Mountain stared blankly at the center of the city, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

There is only one thing He cares about.

That person who came out of the underworld—was it the Night Wanderer or Young Master Qi?

If it's the latter, then until another Underworld General is transferred from above, Yongzhou will belong to him alone.

Without a sound, His eyelids suddenly twitched twice.

Yu Zhanming also suppressed his excitement and looked curiously into the city.

A chilling white mist rose again.

With violent tremors, the majestic, dark archway rose inch by inch from the ground, and Anren Prefecture, which had finally returned to normal, instantly transformed back into a ghost town.

Yin and Yang are in reverse!

Yu Sheng staggered backward, the last glimmer of light in her eyes extinguished like a candle flame.

Even though everyone thought that Lin Shu couldn't possibly defeat an immortal in the underworld, she still held onto hope.

Because that young man, through countless seemingly impossible moments, managed to escape danger and achieve his current position.

But if Lin Shu wins, then she shouldn't return using the methods of a celestial official from the underworld.

This archway, which breaks the boundary between Yin and Yang, is the method of the Night Wanderer.

"kill!"

The chicks let out a low growl as their eyes turned bloodshot.

Her crimson-gold wings shot out with a whoosh, transforming into long, slender feathered blades between her arms.

Lin Shu's continuous breakthroughs in body tempering cultivation had long since brought her to the limit of the Golden Core Realm.

Unfortunately, the Golden Peak Body Tempering Method that followed used runes to carry blood and qi, which had nothing to do with his own physique, so Yu Sheng naturally didn't benefit from it.

Ninety-nine percent of her magical power came from that young man.

With such forced growth, she would probably never be able to overcome this hurdle on her own.

But now, the "on-the-spot bond breakthrough technique" that Lin Shu often mocked actually worked on this beautiful figure.

"Die!"

Yu Sheng leaped into the air, and with the violent impact of the blood vessels within his body, the threshold began to loosen at an extremely fast speed.

Her azure feathers flared up like flames, then her entire body transformed into a dazzling crimson gold, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, slashing straight at the faint outline emerging from the archway.

What a load of bullshit, Young Master Qi! What a load of bullshit, Night Wanderer!

I'll give you a taste of my sword first!

Under Yu Sheng's leadership, countless brilliant lights shot forward in an instant, and all sorts of trump cards were used to bombard the same direction. No one noticed that Yuan Yuan's back suddenly trembled.

The demon king first slapped Su Xin, who was rushing out from the side, and then reached out and pulled Yu Sheng down.

The two women turned around in surprise, only to find that Yuan Yuan was staring straight ahead at the archway.

As the white mist dissipated, the outlines gradually became clearer.

To everyone's surprise, there were actually two figures.

"————"

The tall, slender young man stood with his hands hanging down, the cloth strip that was originally used to tie his hair was gone, and his jet-black hair was fluttering in disarray.

His large, black robes were tattered and swayed in the raging wind.

Sharp claw marks covered his fair skin, so deep that the bone was visible.

He stood tall and straight, but his face was so pale that it was completely bloodless. Even his bright eyes could not hide the sense of exhaustion and weakness.

He was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if a slight push would cause him to collapse completely.

It's hard to imagine what kind of fierce battle could have brought a powerful demon king, skilled in both internal and external cultivation, to such a state of utter exhaustion!

Everyone quickly stopped what they were doing and dared not make any rash moves.

As another silhouette emerged from the archway, they all widened their eyes and held their breath.

The Moon-Eating Demon King is alive, but so is the Night Wanderer!

"Heh."

The majestic white wolf, three zhang tall, crouched on the ground, its head lowered, obscuring its face and eyes.

His posture seemed to be expressing submission to the youth before him, or perhaps he was temporarily stuck in a stalemate due to serious injury.

This situation nearly shattered everyone's hearts.

So even immortals bow down to demon cultivators?

The two remained motionless, making the scene extremely eerie.

It was expected that the Night Wanderer would win, but Lin Shu's victory, though beyond everyone's expectations, was still something to celebrate.

But what's going on here? It's a draw?

Just as everyone was distracted, the young man, who was the center of attention, secretly glanced into the distance.

I've heard that curiosity killed the cat.

Who knows, you might even catch a deity by fishing for it?

Lin Shu didn't know whether the mountain god had come for her or the night wandering god, or why it was lurking nearby. So she simply presented both of them to the other party in a harmless way.

It's like a silent declaration: neither of us is doing well anymore, so do whatever you want.

"Mountain God! What's going on?!"

Yu Zhanming's face twitched violently, to the point that he could hardly breathe.

He had already imagined all the splendor of the future in his mind.

Unexpectedly, even when the immortal himself intervened, something unexpected happened.

That little demon king actually has a chance to return to the human world?

What gives it the right?!
