Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

After Jiang Yu left, a cultivator recalled his face and said:

"Is this the person the Silver Serpent Sect has a bounty on?"

After hearing his words, everyone took notice.

"That's right, it's him, I think his name is Li Feiyu."

"Isn't he the murderer who killed more than a dozen outer disciples of the Silver Serpent Sect?"

How could he be a disciple of the True Talisman Sect?

They looked at Lin Xiao with puzzled expressions.

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Ke Wu said emotionally:

"That's right, he's the criminal the Silver Serpent Sect is hunting. As long as we report his information, we'll receive a reward from the Silver Serpent Sect."

Ke Wu's emotions grew increasingly agitated; disregarding his injuries, he stood up:

"I'm going, haha."

Lin Xiao remained silent, picked up a piece of wood from the side, and smashed it against the back of Ke Wu's head.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Ke Wu, clutching the back of his head where blood was spurting, cursed:

"What the hell are you doing?"

Lin Xiao, with a righteous expression, angrily shouted:

"You really are a shameless scoundrel!"

I only allowed you to follow me yesterday because you sincerely admitted your mistake, but I never expected you to do such an ungrateful thing.

Have you forgotten who just rescued you from the clutches of the Firetail Rat?

"If it weren't for Junior Brother Li, you would have been a victim of the Fire-Tailed Rat long ago."

At this moment, Lin Xiao and Jiang Yu were now bound together by fate, sharing both glory and ruin.

If Jiang Yu's true identity is exposed, his deception as a genius outer disciple of the True Talisman Sect will be exposed.

He had just been extorted for over two thousand spirit stones by Jiang Yu, and hadn't even had a chance to recoup his losses. If this got out now, he would suffer a huge loss.

Moreover, he would be hunted down by the True Talisman Sect. He could tell which was more important.

Ke Wu, no longer caring about anything else, glared and said:

"You're an imposter..."

Before he could finish speaking, the cultivators interrupted him, saying:

"Young Master Lin is right."

Young Master Li just saved our lives, how can we be so ungrateful?

Is this the work of righteous cultivators?

They looked at Ke Wu with hostility:

"You're a thug who collects protection money. We only accepted you into our team because of Young Master Lin."

You really haven't changed your ways; you're hopeless.

He should be arrested and thrown off Qingyue Cliff.

Seeing that he had already aroused public outrage, Ke Wu dared not continue speaking.

Lin Xiao was naturally happy to oblige. Without much explanation, they had already figured it out in their own minds. These guys were truly a group of brilliant minds.

If we don't give them a good beating, we'll be doing a disservice to their intelligence.

Lin Xiao raised his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down.

Clearly, his prestige among this group had reached an extremely high level.

Lin Xiao coughed lightly and said:

There must be some misunderstanding here.

As you have all seen, my junior brother Li is an upright person, how could he possibly harm a disciple of the Silver Serpent Sect?

Someone must be impersonating him to deliberately incite conflict between the two sects.

I think it was done by demons!

Lin Xiao found his words increasingly reasonable and continued speaking at length:

"Tianmen Mountain is now a mixed bag, with countless evil demons trying to make our human race kill each other."

At times like these, we need to be even more clear-headed and not fall into their trap.

The cultivators were persuaded by Lin Xiao's impassioned words and said one after another:

"Young Master Lin is absolutely right!"

Those demons are no good. A few days ago, they created a ghost realm in Lijia Town, causing the deaths of many innocent townspeople.

Even the True Talisman Sect, where Young Master Lin resides, is a victim. At this critical moment, we absolutely must not panic.

They swarmed forward, tied up Ke Wu, and brought him before Lin Xiao:

"Young Master Lin! What should we do with this guy?"

Ke Wu struggled desperately, trying to tell the truth.

Lin Xiao covered his mouth with a blanket and whispered:

"Shut up if you don't want to die."

Seeing the fervent expressions on everyone's faces, Ke Wu felt a sense of fear and had no choice but to nod resignedly.

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, his face full of righteousness, and said:

"We righteous cultivators should still be lenient and compassionate towards these wicked people who have gone astray."

I believe in the inherent goodness of human nature. They weren't like this from the beginning, so we should give them a chance.

"Alright, tie him up and display him for three days. If he sincerely repents, we'll spare his life."

The cultivators nodded in gratitude and said:

"Young Master Lin is indeed broad-minded and magnanimous."

They addressed Ke Wudao:

"Why don't you hurry up and thank Young Master Lin for letting you off the hook?"

Ke Wu rolled his eyes back, almost fainting from anger.

The cultivators shouted:

"Fainting will also be punished."

They spontaneously surrounded Ke Wu and tied him to a tree stump.

Seeing that everyone's attention was temporarily off him, Lin Xiao chuckled and said:

"Of course I can't let you tell Li Feiyu of the Silver Serpent Sect, otherwise I won't get any credit."

I want fame and rewards!

……

Jiang Yu's figure darted through the forest.

The appearance of Lin Xiao and Ke Wu made him realize that Fan Wu's treasure was not known to him alone.

He followed the map he had obtained to find the location, intending to take it for himself.

Soon, Jiang Yu arrived at a secluded hill with more than a dozen caves on it.

This is where Fan Wu hid his treasure, but Fan Wu kept a secret; he did not indicate which cave he placed the treasure in.

The cave was deep and bottomless, so Jiang Yu had to go up and check them one by one.

A shout was given, and an echo didn't come until a minute later.

Jiang Yu frowned and said:

"This mountain is so big, even if I dig for a year or two, I might not be able to get through it."

Fan Wuzang's move was truly subtle.

Aside from those burrowing gophers, it would be difficult for anyone to venture deep inside.

Jiang Yu stood up, picked up the treasure map and examined it carefully, trying to find information from it.

Looking at the symbols on the treasure map, it indicated that the entrance was between two cone-shaped triangles.

However, after searching around, Jiang Yu couldn't find the so-called cone-shaped triangle.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly.

Sunlight streamed down, casting two shadows of trees on the hillside.

Jiang Yu looked up and saw two oak trees in the distance, forming a perfect triangle.

Their intersection points to the second cave entrance on the hill.

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and said:

"So this is where it was."

Jiang Yu waved his hand, and the Spirit Binding Rope appeared in his hand. He prepared to use this item to explore.

The Soul-Binding Rope can travel hundreds of meters in the air.

Jiang Yu made a hand seal, and the Spirit Binding Rope skillfully slipped into the cave, exploring deeper and deeper.

Since Jiang Yu is blind, he can only rely on his senses.

When they had explored 100 meters into the cave, the Binding Rope clearly could not go any further.

Jiang Yu frowned and said:

Something is blocking the way.

He put his hands together, increased the input of spiritual power, and the binding rope became a long straight line, which began to rhythmically strike continuously.

However, judging from the sound, it doesn't seem to be a hard object like rock; it has a soft feel to it.

After being struck a dozen times, a sound came from inside the cave:

"Human, stop!"

Jiang Yu frowned; there was something inside.

His eyes turned cold, and he made a hand seal, transforming the Spirit Binding Rope into a sharp sword that pierced straight towards the demon.

"Ouch!" the creature in the cave cried out in pain, cursing loudly.

"Humans, I'm really getting angry!"

If I come out, you'll be dead without a trace!

Jiang Yu sneered. If this monster really had such great abilities, it wouldn't be staying in the cave and only knowing how to shout.

Jiang Yu said:

Why are you staying in my cave?

The monster in the cave, upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, said angrily:

"I've lived here for decades, how can you say this is yours?"

Jiang Yu said confidently:

"This is clearly mine!"

He had his own interpretation: this was the location of Fan Wu's treasure, and now that Fan Wu was dead, this place naturally belonged to him.

"I'm so angry!"

The monster in the cave became angry, and a strong odor wafted out of the cave, along with a pool of yellow slime that shot out.

Jiang Yu quickly dodged, the slime sticking to the ground behind him, causing the surrounding grass to wither immediately.

Jiang Yu's lips curled down, and he cursed:

"You want to pee, huh? Don't you have any sense of public decency?"

I'm giving you three more seconds. If you don't come out now, I'll have to resort to other methods.

The demonic beast inside the cave said:

"Besides whipping me with this hard chain, what other methods do you have?"

Now look at yourself, are you still able to use it?

Jiang Yu wrinkled his nose:

"The Soul-Binding Rope has gone out of control."

No matter how he tried to activate his spiritual energy, he couldn't connect it with the Spirit Binding Rope.

The monster in the cave's move wasn't just disgusting; it was also very effective.

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said:

"You forced me to do this."

With a wave of his hand, the gong of terror appeared in his hand.

This thing is more effective at forcing such a monster.

Moreover, such a long tunnel can act as a loudspeaker, enhancing the effect of the gong.

The monster in the cave, thinking Jiang Yu had no other options, arrogantly said:

"Come in if you dare! I'm not leaving!"

"Bang!"

The terrifying gong struck fiercely, and a golden ripple traveled from the cave entrance into the cave. The once arrogant demon beast was greatly shaken and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was already seriously injured, and if Jiang Yu continued to strike it, it would probably lose its life.

"efficient."

Jiang Yu had sharp ears and noticed the change in the sounds of the monsters in the cave.

"Bang bang bang!"

He no longer held back, striking the gong frantically, the ripples of the terrifying gong surging in like waves.

The soil in the entire cave trembled.

The surrounding cave entrances seemed to be connected, and the sound swirled back and forth inside, amplifying its effect, causing the surrounding birds and beasts to fly away.

The monster in the cave could no longer endure it and begged for mercy:

"Brother, I was wrong, please spare my life."

Jiang Yu smiled and said:

"Tell me, whose cave is this?"

The monster in the cave said unwillingly:

"your?"

Jiang Yu seized the opportunity to say:

"Since that's the case, shouldn't you compensate me for trespassing on my territory without cause?"

The monster in the cave was furious: This is clearly my home.

But when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.

He could only say:

"Brother, as long as you stop knocking, I'll do whatever you want."

Jiang Yu followed suit and said:

"First, restore the effectiveness of my Soul-Binding Rope."

The monster in the cave remained silent, but after a dozen seconds, Jiang Yu discovered that the Spirit Binding Rope had reconnected.

Jiang Yu continued:

"Tie your own hands and feet."

The monster in the cave refused:

"Absolutely not! What if you capture me and kill me?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said:

"I swear on my conscience that I will make you obedient and will never harm you."

Otherwise, I'll continue using my own method.

Boom!

Jiang Yu tapped the alarm gong lightly again.

The monster in the cave could no longer withstand the blow and hurriedly said:

"Big brother, I'll do whatever you say, so please don't go back on your word."

Jiang Yu controlled the Spirit Binding Rope, binding the demonic beast in the cave and dragging it out little by little.

Jiang Yu could sense that this monster wasn't very big.

Half a minute later.

Jiang Yu saw the true form of the monster: a one-foot-long yellow weasel with a cloudy white blind eye in its left eye.

It puffed out its cheeks and glared at Jiang Yu with a helpless expression.

This despicable human! He took over my home, and now I'm being manipulated by him at will.

What if this guy is a pervert? My life will be ruined. How will I ever go back to my village and face my fellow villagers again?

Jiang Yu, having witnessed the true nature of the demonic beast, raised an eyebrow:

"Isn't this the protagonist of my 'Worldly Affairs' quest?"

We were supposed to save him; if we had killed him just now, the mission would have been impossible to complete.

Luckily, he finally had a change of heart and took pity on the situation.

Jiang Yu's thoughtful expression looked extremely evil to the weasel.

The blind weasel thought to itself:

"Won't he think of any more horrific ways to torture me?"

Oh no, I've been fooled.

It would have been better to stay in the cave and not come out; at least that way, at least you could have a complete corpse.

Jiang Yu reached out and grabbed the blind weasel, which instinctively closed its other eye.

After a while, he heard the sound of the chains loosening.

The blind weasel opened its eyes and then saw Jiang Yu's smiling gaze:

"What is your surname, brother?"

The blind weasel blinked, wondering what this human was up to.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said:

My surname is Lao.

"So it's Brother Lao, what a nice name." Jiang Yu nodded and asked with concern:

Are you thirsty or hungry right now?

Is there anything I can help you with?

"There's a conspiracy!" The blind weasel eyed Jiang Yu warily.

"Is this guy trying to trick me into going back to the village so he can wipe out our whole village?"

No, I have to get out of here quickly.

The blind weasel thought for a moment, then pulled a storage bag from its fur and said, forcing a smile:

"Human brother, I'm giving you this in exchange for letting me leave."

This is the treasure left behind by Fan Wu.

Jiang Yu took it without any hesitation:

"This was originally mine."

The blind weasel looked tense: It's too dark.

But he dared not say it outright, and cautiously raised his head to say:

"Big brother, what will it take for you to let me go?"

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow, of course, after completing the [Worldly Affairs] mission.

However, he naturally couldn't reveal this matter.

Jiang Yu smiled and said:

"I will leave once you reach a safe place."

The blind weasel thought to itself:

My biggest source of insecurity right now is you.

call!

suddenly,

A huge fireball hurtled toward Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu instinctively dodged.

Whoosh!

Dozens more fireballs came crashing down one after another.

Since he had used up all his Vajra Talismans, he had no other means of defense and could only use the Soul-Startling Gong to block in front of him.

Then he saw dozens of fire-tailed rats surrounding him from all sides.

A huge, fat fire-tailed rat, about the size of an orange cat, jumped out and said:

"Human, put down that weasel in your hand."

He then sniffed it, frowned, and said:

"Wait, why do you smell of my clan's blood on you?"

You can't leave!

The fat fire-tailed rat waved its hand, and a five-meter-high ring of fire appeared, surrounding Jiang Yu.

They approached step by step:

"Surrender obediently, or we'll burn you to a crisp!"
