After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

They sent one of them out to check.

While cursing those disloyal people in his mind, the man cautiously made his way to the door.

Upon seeing this, he was first taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief and shouted back inside, "No! It's not those two killers! It's the one the Lord captured last time! It looks like he's with a wolf!"

The demon generals inside the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on? They haven't even gone to him yet, and he's already delivered himself to their doorstep?

"Could it be a trap? What if there are still people lying in ambush outside? If we open the door, those two killers will fall from the sky, and we'll all be finished here."

"Then what should we do? Not let him in?"

"But he's the person the Lord specifically requested. If we leave him hanging, what if the Lord finds out we've got him and he's skinned alive?"

The demon generals talked amongst themselves, none of them daring to make a decision.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we go and invite the Venerable One?"

Just then, another loud noise came from outside the door.

Lin Zhixu was clearly getting impatient, so he lit another lightning-summoning talisman.

Little Black let out a howl, sounding quite imposing.

The demon generals inside the hall shuddered, no longer caring about any conspiracy, and scrambled to run towards the inner hall.

"My Lord! My Lord! The person you've been thinking about every day has come to you of his own accord!"

Li Hanshan was thinking every day about how to bewitch Lin Zhixu and make him willingly return to his side.

Hearing the noise, he was startled.

His first reaction was that he must have misheard.

My second thought was that Yu Linzhou had come knocking on my door.

When he probed outwards with his divine sense, it really was Lin Zhixu himself, with a dog by his side, standing outside setting off lightning.

Li Hanshan became interested and appeared in front of Lin Zhixu in a flash.

He looked Lin Zhixu up and down, and asked suspiciously, "What brings you here?"

He tried to bewitch her for so long without success, and after only two days of peace, why is she coming to him on her own?

Is there really such a good thing?

Lin Zhixu said in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, the Tianheng Sect is investigating who has been corrupted by demonic energy. They've set up a purification array, and everyone has to be purified."

"I have your lingering demonic energy on me; one ray and everything is over. I know I can't escape it, so rather than be taken back for purification, I'd rather come here myself."

"You should still have a spot for me here, right?"

After hearing this, Li Hanshan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Of course! Absolutely!" He waved his hand sharply, and the transparent barrier parted as if alive, revealing a wide path. "Since you've come, this door will always be open for you! Come in!"

Lin Zhixu didn't stand on ceremony and stepped inside.

Little Black shook its fur, raised its head, and followed behind, its eyes warily fixed on the demon generals who were huddled to the side, peeking out.

Li Hanshan glanced at it, a half-smile on his face: "Are you afraid I'll eat you? You even brought guards with you."

Lin Zhixu patted Xiao Hei's head: "This is my battle beast. Now that I'm here, it will naturally follow."

Li Hanshan was overjoyed and even more satisfied, never expecting such a great deal as a buy-one-get-one-free offer.

This dog—no, this wolf—looks very powerful and is worth training!

Li Hanshan glanced disdainfully at the group of timid demon generals.

He's used to throwing his weight around, but after just one beating, he's become so cowardly. It's a disgrace to him.

"Get someone out here! Prepare the best room. From this day forward, he will be the most honored person besides myself. Do everything you can to meet his demands."

The demon generals were dissatisfied, but dared not retaliate because Li Hanshan was present.

Li Hanshan snapped, "Did you hear me?!"

Everyone nodded quickly.

"I heard it! I heard it!"

"You heard that, so hurry up and do it!"

At his command, the demon generals scattered like birds and beasts.

One of them, the fastest of them, vanished in a flash.

The others were a step behind, secretly resentful. This bastard usually kept a low profile, but now he was running faster than a dog.

Li Hanshan turned to look at Lin Zhixu, in a very good mood, and was willing to give him a sweet treat: "You can order these people around as you please. If any of them are blind, just tell me. I'll get revenge for you."

Lin Zhixu nodded, looking completely at ease: "Don't worry, I won't hold back."

He is still useful to Li Hanshan, and Li Hanshan is willing to give him unlimited leniency, so he naturally has to enjoy this treatment without hesitation!

Li Hanshan was even more pleased to see how cooperative he was.

After giving a few more instructions, he turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared.

As soon as Li Hanshan left, the air in the hall turned cold.

The demon generals who failed to escape slowly surrounded them.

The leader's face darkened, and all the suppressed jealousy and hatred surfaced.

He sized Lin Zhixu up and down, then sneered, "Don't think that just because the Lord is protecting you, you can do whatever you want. You're nothing more than a plaything for him to play with for a while, something new to look at. Do you think you'll still be so smug once he gets tired of you?"

Another person chimed in coldly, "Those who know what's good for them will keep their distance. If they really think they're in charge, they'll be dead faster than anyone else."

Lin Zhixu listened without getting angry.

He lowered his eyes and gently stroked Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei's fur stood on end, its fangs slightly bared, and it made a low growling sound in its throat, ready to pounce at any moment.

"Are you done talking?"

The demon generals exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what he was up to. One of them nodded subconsciously.

Lin Zhixu smiled at them.

That smile was clean and harmless, like a gentle breeze in the mountains.

But the next second, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted into the hall, "Your Majesty! Help! They're trying to kill me!"

Everyone was shocked.

The demon generals turned pale, but it was too late to cover his mouth.

Before Li Hanshan had gone far, upon hearing this voice, black energy instantly surged down from the top of the palace.

"What's going on!" He swept his gaze over the crowd, his expression grim.

Lin Zhixu lowered his eyes, looking completely innocent: "They wanted to kill..."

"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" A demon general quickly interrupted, his face full of fawning smiles. "We were just joking with him, but we didn't expect him to take it seriously."

Without saying a word, his black aura whipped out like a whip.

Several demon generals flew out like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily into stone pillars before rolling to the ground, spitting out blood.

"Do you think I'm dead?" Li Hanshan's voice was sinister. "I barely finished speaking, and you dare to disobey me. What? My words no longer carry weight with you? Are you all tired of living and want to rebel?"

The demon generals were terrified, scrambling to their knees and crying out, "Your Majesty, spare us! Your Majesty, spare us! We will never dare to do it again!"

Li Hanshan snorted coldly: "I have other important matters to attend to today, so I will spare you for now. If there is a next time, I will make you wish you were dead."

Seeing that they were afraid, Li Hanshan transformed back into black mist and left.

The hall remained quiet for a while.

The demon generals got up from the ground, their faces ashen.

Lin Zhixu's eyes were filled with anger, but no one dared to say anything more.

This kid is shameless; he's really tattling.

Seeing their reaction, Lin Zhixu stopped pretending.

He patted Xiao Hei's head and chuckled slowly, "How about it? Want to try again? I can shout really loudly."

Everyone: "..."

Try it? You'll lose your life if you try again.

Little Black swished its tail triumphantly, letting out a very soft whimper, as if mocking the creature.

Lin Zhixu was pleased: "Come on, Xiao Hei. Let's go to sleep."
