Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 226 The Luo Family's Wind and Sound

"Are you insane! Why would you act as an accomplice to a wicked beast? What benefits did that monster promise you?!"

"A dignified immortal associating with demons?!"

In the misty path, an old man, tightly bound by iron chains, struggled violently, and stone chips kept falling off his body due to the intense movements.

However, the two half-life immortals were evenly matched in strength; otherwise, they would not have been locked in a tug-of-war in Yongzhou for so many years without a clear winner.

Now that he is in the underworld and the mountain god is seriously injured, he has no chance to resist.

Great demons have appeared in the world before.

Not to mention in small prefectures, even across mountains and seas, there are often those monstrous demons who dare to fight and kill immortals.

However, almost all immortals, when they find that things are hopeless and they are trapped in a desperate situation, will calmly face death.

Because they knew in their hearts that even if they were torn to pieces, it would only be temporary.

He will eventually regain his immortal form and return, receiving rewards and honors.

The so-called ferocious demon will be suppressed by the immortals.

At this moment, the mountain god was in a state of extreme panic.

Even if the Night Wanderer's immortal body were truly taken away by Young Master Qi, the other party would have no reason to obey a demon king.

Even if this demon king is fierce, it's still the same.

Something's wrong! Something must be wrong!

"Be quiet."

The majestic white wolf slowly approached, its broad paws pressing down on the old man's shoulders. The seemingly soothing gesture actually pinned him firmly to the ground.

His lips curled up, revealing fangs, and he laughed, "It would be troublesome to mend it; it wouldn't be good if the immortals noticed something was wrong."

To reshape one's immortal body, a large amount of incense offerings and prayers are needed.

Although this old man must have amassed a considerable fortune over the years, he's currently in dire straits, so naturally he's trying to save wherever possible.

Upon hearing this, the mountain god's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils constricting to pinpoints. He was so shocked that he trembled all over and gradually forgot to resist.

They clearly knew that a celestial being was about to come to inspect, and they also knew that the Hengshui Dragon Palace had been under strict surveillance recently.

Under these circumstances, why did the other party still choose to attack him, the mountain god?

"The mountain god of this place has fallen; no matter how eloquent you are, you cannot hide it from the Dragon Palace—"

"Do you dare lay a hand on me?!" He stiffened his neck and roared angrily.

Upon hearing this, the white wolf raised an eyebrow and suddenly chuckled, "Who told you the mountain god would fall?"

He mimicked how Lin Shu had patted Young Master Qi earlier, casually patting the old man's cheek with a loud, crisp slap.

"The only one who will die is you."

"7

The mountain god couldn't understand the meaning of those words at all.

He turned his head in a daze, his gaze passing over the tall white wolf and landing on Lin Shu, who was sitting cross-legged not far away.

The young man had a handsome face, and his black robes made his skin appear even whiter.

His expression showed no trace of the cruelty and ruthlessness he had displayed earlier.

He was more like a refined and gentle scholar.

Perhaps because he was in the underworld, the mountain god stared at that profile and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

No one knows where the original demons came from, but most of the demons in the world are just tools created by the immortal sects to collect offerings.

As a mountain god, he had seen countless demons.

Some of these monstrous creatures had faces full of resentment, others filled with fear and dread, and some were even insane, wishing they could devour the flesh and blood of the immortal offspring alive.

But no matter what, immortals are always in a high position.

Looking down upon living beings from above the clouds, letting their features contort, roar and wail, and gather the most vicious curses with foul language, will not disturb one's own mind in the slightest.

He had never seen a demon so calm and composed, even to the point of ignoring immortals.

It's as if he himself, this mountain god, is nothing more than a pheasant in a cage, not worth paying attention to at all, and can be easily dealt with as he pleases.

""

Lin Shu didn't have time to deal with this mountain god right now.

He was fully focused on digesting what he had learned.

Previously, it had cost him a full one million taels of silver to progress from the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage.

To break through and enter the next realm, even if calculated based on three times the previous experience, a minimum of three million taels of silver is required.

However, having gained so much from this trip, Lin Shu had over 4.8 million taels of savings, so this amount of money was not a problem for him, and was even more than enough.

What he wants to know now is whether he can use this extra part to deduce the inner method into the Reverse Robbery Machine Chapter.

The extra million taels of silver may sound like a lot, but compared to the legendary "Free and Easy Way," it seems like a drop in the ocean.

However, Lin Shu was not just indulging in wishful thinking.

Besides the silver, he also had 320 taels of gold essence to relieve suffering.

Since he was going to possess the mountain god anyway, he decided to feed all the money to the phantom of the Azure Phoenix as a precaution.

[The Azure Phoenix that crossed the calamity consumed 320 taels of Calamity-Relieving Golden Essence, greatly enhancing its immortal status.]

【Mountain and Sea Immortal. The Phoenix Crossing Calamity: Childhood】

As the second illusory descendant of the immortals to follow Lin Shu, Qingluan has come all the way from Blackwater City. Although its upper limit is not as high as that of the wolf cub transformed from Young Master Qi's divided soul, it has also reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm after devouring the souls of Yu Qianzhang and Yu Tongxuan.

Now, nourished by a large amount of the Essence of the Calamity, it has undergone a rapid transformation. Not only has its body swelled several times over, but every feather is now gleaming with a flawless white light, and its tail feathers have become exceptionally long.

According to his experience, if the "immortal aura" grows, the amount of good and evil deeds he needs to deduce immortal techniques will be greatly reduced.

'

The mountain god could not see the illusory figure of the immortal descendant, but he seemed to faintly hear a sharp phoenix cry in his mind.

Amidst the lingering sound, an overwhelming pressure seemed to sweep in from all directions.

It was like facing a supreme immortal who, though not showing himself, completely overwhelmed him in terms of bloodline and immortal status!

The unknown is always the most terrifying.

The mountain god looked bewildered, searching around for the source of the phoenix's cry. As soon as his gaze returned, his body trembled involuntarily.

The young man in the distance had stood up at some point and slowly walked to her.

The Night Wanderer, also a half-life immortal, acted like a loyal subordinate, bowing slightly and respectfully making way for him.

Immortals—so obsequious to demons.

This is utterly absurd and ridiculous.

But the mountain god couldn't laugh at all, because Lin Shu had already looked over calmly and said in a gentle voice, "Stop looking, it's time to get going."

As the words fell.

The mountain god finally knew where the phoenix's cry came from.

An enormous, majestic phoenix head, like a mountain falling from the sky, suddenly appeared in Xiu's mind.

His eyes were like the blazing sun, as if they wanted to burn everything in front of him.

Following the phoenix, a magnificent white wolf, its face contorted with malice, pounced upon His soul!

The Great Shun Dynasty, Xingning Prefecture.

This place is one of the major prefectures closest to Hengshui Dragon Palace.

Of course, the distance between the land and water is only relative to other major prefectures. In reality, there is still some distance, and even with the Demon King's speed, it would take a full month to cross it.

But no matter what, the closer you are to Hengshui Dragon Palace, the more dangerous it is.

""

Cangli didn't dare to go to any bustling places to show off. Instead, he chose a tavern on the outskirts of the city and sat in the quiet shop, unconsciously rubbing his fingertips against the wine cup.

His eyes darted around, clearly indicating that he was not paying attention.

He finally had the chance to meet the young master of the Luo family, whom he had longed to see for many years, but he felt no joy at all.

It's not just because of that cryptic statement Lao He once made, that everything is just beginning.

The main reason comes from personal experience.

Under normal circumstances, Cangli should have met Luo Fengming half a month ago.

The delay wasn't intentional; rather, the young master had been repeatedly ambushed by Hengshui, forcing him to temporarily relocate.

Even so, Luo Fengming still showed no intention of going home.

Cangli now feels like he's been tricked.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth in hatred and transmitted his voice to Old He, who was calculating with his eyes closed, saying, "Call me cowardly or a coward! I'll be frank today: Hengshui is clearly serious. If your young master doesn't stop, be careful the Luo family line will end!"

'

In the past, if Cangli had dared to utter such arrogant and rebellious words, Old He would have undoubtedly taken action to teach him a lesson.

But at this moment, the old man simply turned around expressionlessly, remained silent for a long time, and then earnestly corrected, "First of all, it is our young master. Secondly, even if young master Fengming really encounters misfortune, the Luo family still has young master Fengge, so the lineage will not be cut off."

Old He withdrew his gaze, a hint of worry appearing in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he spoke again: "I've already contacted the master."

Upon hearing this, Cangli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this old guy still has some brains; he's not blindly loyal to that extent.

"That's more like it."

He forced a smile: "I heard that Master Luo entered the inner palace many years ago and became one of the elders of the Heavenly Demon Palace. With such a powerful backer, even if the young master does nothing, his future is limitless. Why risk such a precious life to fight with Hengshui?"

"snort."

Upon hearing this, Old He felt a sense of frustration.

If it weren't for the sake of the demons in both countries, there would be no need for this.

However, it's impossible to reason with a carefree demon king like Cangli who only cares about himself.

He was too lazy to waste words, his eyelids drooping, and he started contacting his young master again: "You should go back—at least you should evacuate Xingning Prefecture first."

"Not yet."

Soon, a listless, languid reply came from the other end: "Once I find that long worm, our business will be done."

To truly ignite a deadly battle between the Heavenly Demon Palace and Hengshui, the lives of a few outsiders at the Nascent Soul stage are not enough.

Having finally caught Hengshui Wangsun alone, if they didn't deliver a ruthless blow, once this serpent retreated back to Hengshui, it probably wouldn't dare to come out again.

"Then I'll bring the raccoon dog over to help."

Knowing he couldn't persuade the young master, Old He hesitated briefly before choosing to settle for second best.

This time, Luo Fengming did not refuse.

He hesitated for a few moments, then casually replied, "You wait outside to pick me up. Be careful on the road. As for that stupid cat, let him wait for me where he is—and tell him the way back to the Luo family."

"I see."

Old He slowly stood up, looking at Cangli, who was sitting at the table with a face full of complaints, with a slightly complicated expression.

He sighed inwardly, quickly composed himself, and expressionlessly tossed out a jade slip: "Remember the route, then erase it, and wait here for my message."

After saying that, Old He strode away from the tavern: "If things don't look good, you can handle it yourself."

"ha?"

Cangli's eyelids twitched twice as he looked at the jade slip in his hand.

Are you kidding me?

They wandered around for a while, but in the end, they still couldn't find Luo Fengming.

And what do you mean by "do it your own way"? — If that's the case, then I'm making a quick getaway.

Cangli was filled with doubts.

Could this be the final test for the Luo family when they're recruiting, to see if someone is loyal enough?

For some reason, Cangli sensed something ominous from Lao He's parting instructions.

It's like giving your last words.

He hesitated for a long time but did not get up to leave. Instead, he remained in place and watched warily.

Within the lush mountain forest.

A young man dressed in an elegant long robe leaned against a huge boulder, grinning as he pulled a dragon scale from his body.

Besides the dragon scales, a sharp, broken horn was also stuck in his chest.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!"

As Luo Fengming cried out in pain, he plucked all the scales off his body.

Blood plasma soaked through his clothes.

He reached out and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead.

That broken corner can't be fixed for now, so let's leave it at that.

-

"You son of a bitch, since I said I was going to break off both of your horns, I'm not going to leave you with just one."

Just as he was getting up unsteadily, intending to continue searching for Shui Wangsun's whereabouts, he was startled by a figure that suddenly approached him.

"Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in?" Luo Fengming said, somewhat helplessly.

Old He didn't say anything, he just stared straight at the young master.

In the previous attempts to communicate telepathically, the other party always responded with that nonchalant voice, and gradually, he even began to believe that the situation was not critical.

Until now, I have witnessed the horrific injuries with my own eyes.

Old He was both shocked and furious.

"You've gone too far! You dare glare at me, young master?" Luo Fengming smiled sheepishly at first, then said jokingly, "You don't think that worm is any better than me, do you?"

"Feel sorry."

Old He didn't respond at all, but strode straight towards the young man and grabbed his arm: "I've already informed the master, now I'll take you back."

"Tsk tsk, you old codger, you look so honest and kind, yet you've learned to lie."

Luo Fengming remained unfazed and loudly mocked, "Hermits of the Heavenly Demon Inner Palace are forbidden from interfering in the affairs of the Outer Palace. This is an ironclad rule of the palace. I, the young master, am the head of the Luo family. You dare to touch me today?"

Ironclad rule! Another ironclad rule!

In the entire Heavenly Demon Palace, no one is like this young man, constantly scheming how to use the palace rules to cause trouble.

"Young Master! You'll die from this ailment sooner or later!" Old He was so angry that his fingers were trembling.

"Pah, I'm a long-lived young master, don't try to curse me."

Luo Fengming rolled his eyes at him and pulled his arm back: "Did you release the information I told you to? Has that person from the Ning family been tricked into this?"

Old He was speechless.

Even though the other person is injured like this, all he can think about is how to trick them.

Miss Ning must have had terrible luck for generations to have met such a cousin.

"Um."

Old He responded in a muffled voice.

He couldn't be reasoned with, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only turn around with a dark face and become the trailblazer.

Luo Fengming licked the bloodstains from the corner of his lips, took a step, but then slowly stopped.

In the bleak mountain wind.

Figures appeared from all directions.

The dense moisture, almost solidified, makes one's skin feel slippery.

Just as Lao He's expression suddenly changed.

That hoarse, resentful voice, filled with a hatred that seemed to want to devour them alive, resounded in their ears.

"Luo Fengming, do you know what this place is called?"

"Eagle's Sorrow Gorge —"

"Today, I'll lend you a pair of wings. Let's see where you can escape to this time!"
