Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

The ground creaked underfoot.

Lin Sheng kicked aside the broken branches and withered bones on the road, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Along the way, they encountered many mutated spirits or wild beasts, all of which were killed and burned cleanly.

As they approached the depths of Wuzhi Mountain, the fog grew thicker and thicker.

Cao Xing exhaled, and a wisp of flame flew out of his mouth and landed in the white mist in front of him.

The intense heat of the flames caused the mist to dissipate, revealing a clear path, but in a short while the white mist enveloped the area again, and the flames were also dispersed by the thick mist.

"Have you noticed the fog on Wuzhi Mountain? Senior brother, this place is not right," Lin Sheng said, looking at the ever-present white fog around them.

Cao Xingyi said, "It's getting thicker and thicker, and it's been lingering for a long time."

He took out a magic talisman and infused it with profound energy. The talisman flew into the air and emitted light, forming a clear and transparent barrier that covered the two of them and separated them from the mist.

Unable to penetrate the barrier formed by the magic runes, the white mist continued walking, becoming particularly conspicuous in the thick white mist.

"Junior brother, have you noticed that this mist is everywhere, as if it is consciously seeping into the surroundings?"

Cao Xingyi glanced around, the mist seeping into various bushes and wild trees, even the gaps in the bones were not spared.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if this stuff continued to get inside the body.

Lin Sheng remained noncommittal; he had also noticed this situation and said, "I think perhaps someone is manipulating it secretly; this fog is too strange."

"Even the scanning of divine sense is interfered with; this fog has an interfering effect."

The surroundings were silent, and the few sounds of wild animals that could be heard before had quietly disappeared.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Sheng saw a huge figure appear in front of him, which was gnawing on a humanoid body.

At such close range, even with the white mist obstructing the view, one could still discern that the other party was a demon.

Lin Sheng immediately drew his sword and said, "Senior brother! There are man-eating demons ahead!"

The knife was drawn with a sharp swirl, echoing clearly through the forest.

Lin Sheng looked to his side, his expression one of shock. Cao Xingyi had disappeared without him noticing.

Such a grown man just vanished like that.

Looking up at the talisman, it was still functioning normally, and there was no sign that anyone had left.

He took a deep breath, knowing he needed to calm down, and threw out several magic talismans, which circled the barrier to monitor the surrounding area.

Lin Sheng rushed forward and, before the other man could react, plunged the knife into his eye socket. Then, with a scream, he sliced ​​off half of the man's brain.

"roar!!!"

The demon, wounded and bleeding, lunged straight for his head.

Lin Sheng stepped aside, his blade flashing, and with a glint of light, his opponent's body was cleaved in two.

However, the Cavern Furnace did not react at all.

The demon's blood and organs fell to the ground, emitting a strong stench.

With the help of the Cave Mystery Furnace, Lin Sheng knew that this thing was not as simple as it seemed. Even though it had a vivid appearance, it was at least not a demon.

He turned his gaze to the side and looked at the body that had just been devoured.

However, this was not a human. When Lin Sheng arrived in front of it, he realized that it was a skeleton with no flesh or blood left, wearing a long robe, and the jade-like bones had a hint of emerald fluorescence.

"Skeletons from the Jade Realm?"

"How could there be skeletons from the Jade Realm on Misty Branch Mountain?"

The bones have a jade-like color, and the changes in the jade's texture are characteristics of the jade's habitat.

One by one, unexpected situations began to emerge, and these increasingly unpredictable events gradually built up unease in Lin Sheng's heart.

The spell that was just cast is still active, and the surrounding area is safe.

Lin Sheng planned to leave to find Cao Xingyi. Even though the other party was quite strong, the current situation was not suitable for anyone to go alone.

Just as he was about to set off, he noticed a yellowed cover under the skeleton.

Lin Sheng used his knife to cut open the other person's clothes, completely exposing the object, which turned out to be a book.

Pick it up, shake off the dust, and two worn characters are revealed: Daily Affairs.

"Is this the diary of this Jade Life Realm cultivator?"

His intuition told him that this was important, so he quickly flipped through it.

"My master said he has some commitments and cannot come here today, so he has left everything to me to handle."

I'm so glad I can finally get some rest.

I also really want to work hard for the adults' great cause, but everyone needs a break.

Next page.

"The master was away for a week this time, and when he came back he brought a newcomer with him. He is someone who is not even at the Jade Life Realm, yet he says he can be of help. I wonder what the master saw in him."

He's just a guy who messes around with demon materials, yet he claims to have his own ideas.

I see these lunatics who pretend to be geniuses every day.

None of us from the Dalin Pavilion said anything, really.

Turn to the next page.

"It's been two months since this kid came to Izumi, and I didn't expect him to actually achieve something."

He actually used himself as an experiment, and managed to achieve a breakthrough in the formation from the perspective of demonic materials.

What is this? Is it a lucky accident?

He has some ability, not quite a genius, but his use of demonic materials makes him practically a madman.

"After achieving some success, he won't let me call him 'kid' every day anymore; he insists I call him by his name."

He's not much of a person, but his name is alright: Gu Yanchuan.

Lin Sheng's hand trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Gu Yanchuan! That madman who spreads forbidden magic!"

"If this is the organization behind Gu Yanchuan, then this person is probably...."

Lin Sheng looked at the skeleton and understood its identity.

But judging from the tone of the other party in the diary, it seems that their status is higher than Gu Yanchuan's, so why has it become like this now?

Furthermore, judging from the other person's appearance, it was clear that they had been dead for a long time, but Gu Yanchuan had only died recently.

Lin Sheng continued to flip through the pages, quickly scanning the contents, which were mostly just casual conversation and jokes.

Until I saw a piece of content that was divided into four paragraphs.

"Gu Yanchuan's side has been greatly improved. Now, Master, we should proceed with the next step of the plan."

"We're about to officially intervene in Izumi Town; a new dojo is about to be established: Shizuru."

"The purpose of establishing Shuangshizi is not to expand; the key is in its establishment. Establishment is enough."

Its establishment signifies that the adults' plan has begun to progress smoothly.

"Next, we will gradually contact the other dojos. Liuyun Dojo has a background with the Martial Virtue Division, so we cannot contact it."

The Nine Knives Sect is afraid of death and should not be contacted.

In my opinion, Jin Tang and Fei Yan harbor resentment, and it would be best to take advantage of that.

"Gu Yanchuan will be in charge of the forbidden laws. He will start by gradually contacting and disseminating them from the perspective of demonic materials."

He seems quite enthusiastic; let's see how long he can keep going.

The ban on the law is still a little short; let's not delay it.

"The matter of the Fire Virtue Sect and the Bee Queen Sect can be used as a convenient opportunity to obtain what we need."

Fire Virtue Sect, Bee Queen Sect.

Hong Chao!
