Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 66 This person is fit to be used by me

"Master Lin! The gang has ordered you to come over."

Dong Cheng rushed into the courtyard, his expression a mixture of fear and relief.

He knew the other person had gone to the southern suburbs last night.

But he never expected that in just one night, not only would four ferocious wolves die, but the entire Cunning Fox Hall would be wiped out. The moment Dong Cheng heard this news, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Although the government office had hung fifty corpses, a notice was issued.

But he knew better than anyone else that if the government really had this intention and had arranged for action...

That constable surnamed Chang had already been taken home and locked up, so there was no need for him to deliver the message himself, since the county magistrate was his relative.

There's no need to overthink this; it could only have been done by Master Lin!

Fortunately, the authorities took responsibility for the matter; otherwise, if the truth had been discovered, Dong Cheng could almost imagine how terrifying the gang leader's wrath would have been.

"My dear grandfather, you are truly—"

Dong Cheng couldn't find the words to describe the young man in front of him. He let out a long breath and slapped himself hard.

This matter ends here; I would rather die than reveal it.

"Let's go."

Lin Shu straightened her clothes a little.

So many gang members have gone missing, all because they went to prepare for Bai Xin's birthday celebration. If Xia Mingtang hadn't come to Sifang Street, they would have been discovered long ago.

The original intention was to use the government office to distract the Blackwater Gang and make them investigate for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nanzhi admitted it directly.

Faced with her somewhat arrogant provocation, even if some members of the gang still suspected something was amiss, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand their ground, not wanting to lose face.

This action actually extricated Lin from the situation.

The idea of ​​opening up the city was just a thought.

Lin Shuke wouldn't be so optimistic.

He didn't even place all his hopes on Yu Sheng, so why would he wait for a woman he'd only met twice to take him out?

As for what the county constable was thinking, only meeting him would reveal the answer.

"Master Lin, haven't you met the gang leader yet?"

Dong Cheng, who was following behind the other party, suddenly became alert.

Master Lin joined the Cunning Fox Gang, and the fox was gone. He saw Tian Jingyuan, and Tian Jingyuan died. Now he's going to see the gang leader.

He certainly didn't think that Master Lin was a match for a Foundation Establishment stage expert, but he still had to be wary of the other party's violent personality, lest he offend someone later.

"The Blackwater Gang has three Foundation Establishment stage experts. The leader, Daoshanlong, was hot-tempered in his youth. He married the second leader, Fuhailong, and they went out to make their way in the world. Later, they returned to the city and single-handedly founded the gang. Over the years, I've heard that his temper has become much milder."

But that's just hearsay.

Dong Cheng shook his head and continued, "The third leader, Guo Jianglong, joined the gang halfway through. He was originally the young master of the Cheng family. He had been away from home since childhood and had learned a lot of skills. So he came back to visit his family and was trapped in the city. It was only in the last few years that he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

""

"Having heard that the Cheng family had a grudge against the county government, he simply joined the Blackwater Gang—"

"Which Cheng family?" Lin Shu suddenly stopped and looked over.

"Which other Cheng family could it be? The one that sells medicinal herbs." Dong Cheng was taken aback. Why was the other party so interested in this cross-border dragon, who had the least seniority and the lowest profile, when they paid no attention to the first and second leaders?

He scratched his head: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Shu withdrew her gaze.

Yunniang seemed to have said that Master Cheng only had one daughter and never mentioned any young master.

However, this young girl was just a maid, of low status, so it was normal that she didn't know some things.

In addition, he is quite wary, so what he says may not be true.

But I have to say, the story of this third leader sounds more and more familiar the more I hear it.

It was so familiar that it felt like it was taken directly from a county constable.

"You have no idea, ever since our gang leader came to our aid, and the Cheng family has mastered the skill of cultivating medicinal herbs, their power has grown stronger and stronger."

When the conversation turned to gossip, Dong Cheng almost forgot his previous worries and marveled at it.

The entire western part of the city was in a state of panic.

The moment the government posted the notice, every citizen with a modicum of common sense, no matter what they were doing, obediently went back to their homes.

Fierce wolves gathered, and a white tiger crossed the street.

Even the three dragons that dwell in the northern city seem to have revealed themselves.

Having lost a large number of foxes, the remaining forty or fifty people were enough to silence the entire city.

At this moment, they all gathered in the attic.

The first one was an old man with gray hair and a white beard. His face was deeply lined with wrinkles, showing his advanced age. Only a short scar at the corner of his eye added a touch of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air to him.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, his knuckles tapping lightly on the table.

Beside him stood a plump woman in a red robe and gold thread, her face grim.

Clearly, these are the two leaders.

As for the dragon that crossed the river, it sat down about ten feet away, yawning incessantly.

The wolves remained silent.

Even the tigers temporarily suppressed their anger, until they saw two figures arriving late, at which point their expressions suddenly turned fierce again.

,

Oh no, we got so into the conversation that it felt like it was about to end.

Dong Cheng trembled slightly. He was already feeling guilty, and now he didn't even dare to lift his head.

On the other hand, Master Lin remained unfazed, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

I still need to work on developing a thick skin!

"Reporting back to the gang leader, I've investigated."

Suddenly, two figures flew through the air, clasped their hands and said, "Aside from the notice of hanging the corpse, the yamen has neither sent anyone to search for the gang members nor seems to have taken any other action."

"Should we... do something?" the person asked tentatively, looking up.

Despite its seemingly weak strength, the Cunning Fox Hall was actually responsible for the needs of the other three major halls, such as collecting relics of immortals, various medicinal herbs, and the things that the White Tiger Hall liked.

Besides, they relied on their own brothels and theater troupes to find out any news in the city, so that everyone could get the information as soon as possible.

Now it's gone just like that, as if the Blackwater Gang's ears and eyes have been shut down.

Then, Daoshanlong stopped banging on the table and slowly opened his eyes.

He remained silent for a long time before saying hoarsely, "The Ferocious Wolf Hall should increase its vigilance and observe for a while before making any decisions."

After years of stalemate, the other side's sudden change of behavior suggests something might have gone wrong, and we need to figure it out in advance.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

The foxes all died, and several wolves were also lost.

That's it?!

In the corner, the dragon that had crossed the river raised its eyelids, a hint of coldness flashing in its pupils.

"call."

Daoshanlong sensed the doubts that his subordinates were trying so hard to conceal, and he let out a soft breath.

Ten years ago, he genuinely wanted to replace the government, but now he has a different perspective.

This is actually quite good. They can enjoy the blood and flesh of half a city to their heart's content. Outside of Blackwater City, no Foundation Establishment cultivator gets this kind of treatment.

If he waits until the city opens, and as long as he hasn't committed any serious crimes, he can simply withdraw and leave. The court probably won't waste too much energy on him.

"Ahem!" The plump woman next to him suddenly coughed lightly, as if to remind him.

"——"

Daoshanlong suddenly realized something, but he couldn't take back what he had already said, and his expression froze slightly.

I think so.

As he spoke, Cheng Yi slowly stood up, casually glancing at the person in the main seat: "If you're really getting old, why not just retire and enjoy your retirement? What do you think?"

This sudden turn of events clearly stunned everyone once again.

The third leader, who has relatively little experience and has always been low-profile, is now so directly provoking the gang leader. Could it be that he wants to take over?

What shocked them even more was...

The gang leader's face twitched, clearly indicating extreme anger, yet he clenched his fists tightly, forcibly suppressing his rage.

I don't know what they're afraid of.

""

Lin Shu watched this scene quietly.

He sensed something was wrong the moment he walked in.

It's not that the three leaders have too much of a difference in temperament. After all, Dong Cheng said that this dragon who crossed the river came from outside, and given his youth, he should indeed be more like a cultivator from a celestial sect like Gu Nanzhi and Yan Jin.

But the problem is that this person doesn't resemble those two disciples from the immortal sects either.

Yan Jin exuded an aura of despair, and judging from her intention to take action that morning, this woman was clearly on the verge of losing control of her murderous intent.

Gu Nanzhi was slightly better, after all, she was at a higher level, but no matter how normal her expression was, she could never hide the exhaustion and haggardness.

But this dragon crossing the river looked very tired, and it kept yawning.

No matter how you look at it, all the other person is showing is annoyance; beneath this appearance lies a lack of a sense of bewilderment.

The more agitated and bored he became, the more like an outsider he seemed!

"Tsk."

I originally just wanted to go through the motions.

For some reason, Lin Shu suddenly recalled Yu Sheng's words from earlier.

If she were that descendant of the immortals, she would choose to imprison this place with a magical artifact, entrusting a wisp of divine thought to it. If that wasn't secure enough, she would send another disciple to keep an eye on it.

This little chick is spouting nonsense.

But this time, the more I listen, the more believable it seems!

Lin Shu adjusted to a more comfortable position, a strange glint flashing in her eyes.

At the same time, the dragon that crossed the river actually stopped talking and its expression returned to normal.

Just now, I couldn't help but make a comment, and that was it.

He stopped provoking the leader and instead turned to face a certain direction, saying, "Want to chat?"

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Then the light fell directly on the handsome young man.

Greedy Wolf?

Cheng Yi seemed to be doing this deliberately for everyone's benefit, approaching the young man at a leisurely pace.

At the same time, the anger that the leader had finally managed to calm down suddenly surged up again.

The Mountain-Slaying Dragon's eyes were icy cold, but they weren't directed at Cheng Yi. Instead, he stared straight at Lin Shu, even harboring murderous intent.

It was as if they would immediately take the other party's life if they dared to agree!

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

Anyone with eyes could see that Cheng Yi was clearly using him to provoke the leader.

Any Qi Refining cultivator with a modicum of sense should stay far away from the open and covert struggle between the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, lest they get involved.

But Lin Shu appeared unusually relaxed, looked up to meet his gaze, and calmly said, "Okay."

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yi was taken aback.

Then, he burst out laughing with satisfaction.

Good, good, good! You're really greedy, and you're really arrogant!
