Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 95 Whether Stone Lake is in chaos or not, the inn has the final say (Sorry for the writer's block)

The inn's lobby suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Liao Xing's eyes widened, his eyelids trembled violently, and even his breathing became sluggish.

The bracelet, radiating a menacing aura, seemed to possess some kind of magic, reflecting in everyone's eyes and freezing all ten-odd figures in place.

Even the Liu family disciple who had been slightly delighted earlier now had a stiff expression on his face, and his smile gradually faded.

They traveled thousands of miles to the border on their master's orders, desperately searching for the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet...

Now, it has appeared right in front of us so abruptly!

"Ha!"

Heavy breathing sounds rang out one after another.

Everyone looked up abruptly, all turning to look at Lin Shu.

In a slightly dim environment.

The young man's fair face still held a smile, and beneath his simple long robe, there was no hint of anything thrilling.

No matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary innkeeper.

However, those originally harmless, clear eyes, reflecting a few flickering firelight, sent a chill down the spines of the Liu family disciples.

They couldn't understand it.

The other party stole the Liu family's magical artifacts, yet they still dare to be so arrogant!

"Let's do it!"

In the dead silence, Liao Xing suddenly burst into a sharp roar.

Although he was somewhat irritable and easily angered, he wasn't so foolish as to think that the boy took out the sword bracelet because he wanted to return it to them.

The moment the bracelet was revealed, the two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

His clothes surged wildly, and his spiritual power roared out, unleashing a powerful aura belonging to the late stage of Jade Liquid Realm.

Although this group of people had never come to Yongzhou Pass for trials, they were a team personally trained by the descendants of the Liu family immortals. They usually handled various important matters in Shuangyun Prefecture and were quite well-known within the prefecture.

Regardless of experience or skills, he is considered top-notch among the disciples of the immortals.

Liao Xing roared and tried to get up. Spiritual light gathered in his palm, illusory like a snake's shadow, emitting a chilling poisonous mist.

Faced with such a sharp aura, Lin Shu casually pressed down on his shoulder.

In an instant, the rampant spiritual energy suddenly dissipated.

"..."

In a flash, the remaining dozen or so people began to make hand seals, and several others took out their magical artifacts.

But at that moment, their eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Liao Xing's reaction was swift and extremely decisive.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he attacked with all his might!

However, he was unable to stand up.

Under the young man's palm, which was devoid of any spiritual energy, Liao Xing's body, which had suddenly sprang up, was strangely forced back down.

Soon, his slightly surprised facial features contorted in an extremely exaggerated arc.

"ah--"

This Liu family disciple, who was at the late stage of the Jade Liquid realm, didn't even have time to cry out before he watched helplessly as his shoulder collapsed.

That spiritual energy that he was so proud of was forcibly shattered by brute force!

Crackling sound.

A dull, teeth-grinding sound.

Liao Xing stared wide-eyed in terror, his pupils quickly losing their luster.

His body slumped down, and beneath his seemingly intact exterior, his bones and flesh had been reduced to rotten mud by that single blow.

"That scoundrel is arrogant!"

At the same time, an angry voice rang out in the lobby.

The long sword, gleaming with spiritual light, slashed down fiercely.

This is a standard magical artifact that the Liu family "borrowed" from the Demon Slayer Bureau through connections.

Although it is a standard product, it does not mean that the quality is poor.

The Demon Slayer Division is under the jurisdiction of the Qi family and enjoys the best treatment in the entire Yongzhou.

The demon-slaying swords used by the captains abandoned many fancy effects, focusing only on sturdiness and sharpness.

In this respect alone, it is considered first-rate among low-grade magical artifacts.

The disciple who made the move was of excellent character. Not only was he not distracted by the sight of the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet, but he also took advantage of Lin Shu's attention being focused on Liao Xing to fiercely strike with his sword!

Just then, the long sword slashed fiercely down on Lin Shu's back.

Many of Liu's disciples immediately showed joy on their faces.

But the next moment, they heard the sound of fine iron shattering.

The disciples stared at the scene before them as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with terror.

Their faces went numb, and their whole bodies trembled involuntarily.

The demon-slaying sword was radiating a surge of spiritual light, yet the blade failed to pierce the youth's flesh.

Before everyone's eyes, it shattered inch by inch, its luster faded, and it fell to the ground like an ordinary thin sheet of iron with a clang!

"Tsk."

A barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashed across Lin Shu's eyes.

He did indeed intend to use these Foundation Establishment disciples to test his physical strength.

Only then will I have a better understanding of what to expect when I encounter stronger cultivators in the future.

But it would be heartbreaking to break the ritual implements.

He casually reached out and took a demon-slaying sword from the dazed person next to him. He gripped the hilt with his five fingers and found it surprisingly easy to hold.

"..."

The disciple who made the move looked down at the demon-slaying sword, which was now only half-broken in his hand.

He looked dazed, then stared up at the sight of a gleaming silver blade.

puff!

As blood splattered onto the table, the last line of defense of these Liu family disciples was completely shattered.

The Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet lay quietly on the table.

But no one dared to reach out and take it.

"Split up and escape!"

Amidst the mournful howls, everyone used their lightness techniques to scatter in panic.

Before the group could even take a step, invisible arrows pierced their skulls from behind.

Boom!Boom!

A green robe fluttered slightly as his tall figure strolled leisurely, expertly wielding a long sword.

Light and shadow flickered on the wall, and figures were torn apart.

When there was no more breathing around.

Lin Shu slightly waved her sleeve, putting the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet back into her storage bag, and then picked up the booklet that Liao Xing had taken out.

……

Shihu City.

Outside the inn.

Before the cooks, servants, and many laborers who had just been driven away could leave, they saw the door being slowly pushed open again.

They stopped in their tracks, puzzled, and then smelled a strong, pungent stench of blood.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they almost cried out in panic.

The handsome young man stepped out calmly, his expression indifferent. He glanced at the cook and the servants, nodded slightly, and said, "Clean it up and reheat the food. It should still be edible."

"Manager Lin..."

The laborers stood frozen in place, instinctively looking into the main hall, their faces instantly turning deathly pale.

The once arrogant and domineering disciples of the immortals were now lying dead on the ground in a pitiful state, barely having closed the door.

Not a single one survived!

Hot food? Is it still edible?

The nonchalant tone, contrasted with the blood-soaked scene in the lobby, seemed extremely eerie.

The cook and the handyman stood frozen in the doorway, staring at the young man in disbelief.

In their impression, Manager Lin usually sat lazily behind the counter and hardly did anything.

He's never even been seen to throw a tantrum, let alone lay a hand on anyone.

The laborers and servants all regarded each other and the little mountain god as kind-hearted people.

But no one ever imagined that Manager Lin would have such a ruthless side!

"spread!"

Soon, the stench of blood attracted several deacons.

They rushed to the inn's entrance, and after seeing the situation, their eyes also widened in surprise.

They looked at the young man and demanded sharply, "What's going on here?"

Although border regions are not as stable as Yongzhou, they are not lawless places where people can kill each other in public.

"..."

Lin Shu stopped flipping through the pages and tossed the booklet over.

His voice wasn't very loud, and it sounded somewhat perfunctory.

However, the chilling undertones within were not concealed: "This group of people are secretly investigating my master and recording his movements."

"After being discovered, they not only refused to hand over the booklet, but also dared to fight back."

"There was no other way but to kill them all."

A few concise words caused the deacons' expressions to change drastically.

Although he claimed to be "helpless," there was no trace of helplessness in the young man's eyes; instead, they were filled with chilling murderous intent.

They were looking down as they flipped through the booklet.

The document was filled with information about Blackwater City, down to the details of a dilapidated woodshed.

"court death!"

Among the deacons were members of the Yu family, whose eyes gleamed at that moment.

Everyone knows that Yu Sheng was trapped in this city and was personally rescued from that dilapidated woodshed by Senior Qi Heng.

The Yu family hasn't even settled accounts with the Liu family yet, and these bastards dare to come over on their own initiative.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem.

It should be noted that just today, news broke that two descendants of the Yu family had encountered trouble.

Just when everyone was on edge.

If you still have to run into bad luck at this time, then you really have no one to blame but yourself.

"Let me see."

A streak of light swept across the sky, and Fan Qingyang landed outside the inn, reaching out to snatch the booklet.

He quickly flipped through it a few times.

A hint of anger appeared on his face.

A few days ago, he personally intervened and ordered these Liu family disciples not to interfere in the affairs of Blackwater City anymore.

This booklet is not only slapping him in the face, but also slapping his master in the face.

"I will report it to the higher-ups."

Fan Qingyang clenched his fist slightly and nodded apologetically to Lin Shu: "You don't need to worry too much. The Liu family survives by relying on the Demon Slaying Division. Their disciples don't have the guts to collude with demons."

"These people are probably investigating something else, not conspiring with that Moon-Eating Demon General to harm your master."

Even with this explanation, Fan Qingyang could still understand his disciple.

Yu Qing and Yu Kui have already run into trouble.

This group of people not only wanted to investigate his master, but also happened to be staying at the inn.

There was only one person there, and judging by the time, he was about to go to guard the pass, which meant that Yu Sheng would be left alone to spend time with this group of people.

Anyone would be stressed in that situation.

"That's for the best."

Lin Shu pursed her lips slightly, her voice indifferent.

He didn't appear too arrogant, but he did appropriately express his dissatisfaction.

This perfectly embodies the image of a disciple who watched his master being humiliated by his own clan, gritted his teeth and endured it, but now finds that even his master's life and safety cannot be guaranteed, so he has no choice but to personally step forward to deter the villains.

"..."

Fan Qingyang lowered his eyes helplessly and rubbed his brows.

If any other disciple spoke to him like that, he would surely make them understand the meaning of seniority and hierarchy.

But then he glanced at the many corpses inside the inn.

Fan Qingyang hesitated for a moment, then simply smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Putting aside the fact that their anger was reasonable and even extremely restrained.

In terms of strength alone.

Since they were able to kill all of Liu's disciples.

That proves that Lin Shu is not at all like what they had previously thought, just a child playing around, but actually possesses the same strength as them, the veteran disciples.

If I remember correctly, the other party's Azure Phoenix Jade Token will be issued soon.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should get better soon."

Fan Qingyang glanced at Yu Sheng inside the inn, then at Lin Shu, and subtly made a comment before transforming into a streak of light and disappearing again.

Yu Sheng has grown up, and her disciples have demonstrated sufficient ability.

Although the number of people is a little smaller, it is only temporary.

With the other two immortal descendants missing, this little mountain god's status will inevitably rise dramatically.

"Brother Fan is right, this situation certainly won't last long."

The butlers were all shrewd and perceptive; they could easily understand the meaning behind those words.

They instantly changed their expressions to smiles, cupped their hands to the young man, and said, "Junior Brother Lin, if you ever need anything in the future, feel free to ask us. Please don't hesitate to ask."

Having said that, the stewards, unwilling to provoke the furious manager any further, quickly dispersed.

As for those Liu family disciples who died tragically...

This is Yongzhou Pass.

It is Yongzhou Pass, which belongs to the Yu family!

Yu Sheng is no longer the deformed celestial being she once was.

Let alone the fact that they came secretly under orders from their master, even if their master were here, based on this booklet alone, in front of that Liu family descendant, this group of people would have to obediently die here!

"Want some more?"

Lin Shu ignored the polite words of the group of deacons and instead glanced at the many laborers.

"Come on, come on!" Yu Sheng stood at the doorway, waving to the crowd.

"Thank you very much, Manager Lin!"

The civilians serving on the border were already used to seeing corpses.

Now that they understood the situation, they didn't care about the filth and bloodstains. They rushed in, and the bolder ones even helped the servants clean up the corpses.

Some people went to the backyard to help the cook reheat the dishes.

The inn became lively again.

Lin Shu then led Yu Sheng back to the guest room on the second floor.

"You're so amazing! Can I try it next time?"

The little guy excitedly waved his little fist.

She knew perfectly well that this group of people were the culprits who had trapped her in the city.

I was wondering how Lin Shu would deal with these bad guys while keeping it a secret from the cultivators in the city.

Unexpectedly, those stewards and disciples dared not interfere with the inn's affairs at all!

Everyone had a friendly and amicable attitude.

It's completely different from before.

Thinking of this, Yu Sheng jumped up with a face full of admiration and hugged the young man's arm tightly: "That's so prestigious!"

"..."

Lin Shu quietly concealed the emotions on her face.

He used the lives of these Liu family disciples to demonstrate his skills to Fan Qingyang.

After all, if Yu Sheng wants to take over the siblings' inheritance, in addition to his own potential, he also needs to demonstrate enough strength to control the situation to those above him.

Forget about large territories for now.

But a small earthen town is still worth trying to acquire.

Secondly, he was also observing the Yu family's attitude.

If the identity of a disciple of the Yu family cannot be fully utilized...

Lin Shu, whose body tempering was already comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator, had to consider whether or not to leave.

In retrospect, this identity still has some use.

Even if it doesn't guarantee that he can be protected by the Qi family, it will at least make it easier for him to act and gather more information.

"call."

Lin Shu banished her distracting thoughts and began to tally her gains.

There are eleven disciples of the Liu family, ranging from the early to the late stages of the Jade Elixir cultivation.

The price ranges from three to nine strings of cash.

Another fifty-eight strings of bad money were acquired.

Although it's not as much as the White Tooth Mine, it's still free and there's no risk involved.

Go do your business.

Lin Shu chased away Xiao Yusheng and stepped into the guest room.

"I told you to wait a bit, would I lie to you?"

Sensing the renewed excitement of the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord, he didn't rush to mobilize the evil money, but instead took out the storage bags to check them.

This group of people isn't particularly strong, but perhaps because they're out on behalf of their master, they have quite a deep foundation.

He carried a total of six demon-slaying swords.

The pills used to replenish Qi were piled up to the brim, and a large number of immortal talismans were also prepared in an exaggerated manner. The aura emanating from seven or eight of these talismans actually exceeded that of the one that the demons had sent earlier.

"High-grade immortal talisman?"

These talismans can unleash a power almost equivalent to the full-force attack of a late-stage Jade Liquid cultivator.

Moreover, it doesn't require any spiritual energy to be consumed, and several can be summoned at once.

In a battle between people of the same realm, the slightest difference can mean the difference between life and death.

Unfortunately, they encountered a Core Formation cultivator, and by the time they wanted to use it, it was too late.

After Lin Shu finished inspecting them, she was about to put them all away.

His gaze suddenly stopped as he noticed a wisp of black smoke in the corner of the storage bag.

"what?"

Lin Shu took it out and twisted it in the palm of his hand.

He quickly realized that this wisp of immortal aura must have been bestowed by their master, and was used to regain control of the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet.

However, unlike the green aura that Yu Sheng released earlier when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, this black aura, though only a wisp, revealed a complete snake shadow upon closer inspection.

Is this the aura of an adult immortal descendant?

The Filthy Moon Wolf Lord stuck out its tongue, watching its master's increasingly animated expression, and suddenly felt that something was amiss.

……

Outside the inn.

At the end of the dusty, smoky street.

Chen Xiangzhu stood there with a complex expression.

For her, the situation involving the Yu siblings had both good and bad aspects.

The downside is that she is also a descendant of immortals, and she also needs to be wary of the demon general who intends to carry the flag.

But as long as you are careful, all that's left is good.

As the most senior young immortal in Shihu City, Chen Xiangzhu would have been able to take on Yu Qing's disciple very quickly if the Yu family hadn't been there. Perhaps she would even have had a chance to extend her reach to the Nine Border Passes and the White Tooth Mine.

But now... someone suddenly told her that Yu Sheng has grown up.

Have you noticed something?

Deacon Luo stood behind her, his gaze fixed intently on the inn.

From laborers to stewards, everyone was intentionally or unintentionally circling around this place, coupled with Fan Qingyang's earlier tactful reminder.

If we consider Shihu as an ordinary county town.

That inn was clearly the one that had been used to humiliate Yu Sheng.

It now even has a hint of the atmosphere of a government office hall!

"If this continues, I'm afraid the young master of the Chen family will be driven out of this earthen city. You should know how greedy that Lin fellow is."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangzhu gritted her teeth, her expression contorted as she looked back, and unusually, swore:

"You're talking nonsense!"
