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

It's probably because Li Hanshan had something important to do and wanted to carefully cultivate Lin Zhixu that the number of evil cultivators from the outside world suddenly decreased significantly.

Taking advantage of this time, the major sects seized the opportunity to recuperate and rebuild.

Inside the council hall of the Tianheng Sect.

The senior elders, who rarely have time, held a debriefing meeting.

The Grand Elder sat in the main seat and briefly reviewed the recent situation of each peak, and then brought up matters such as patrols, supplies, and disciple rotation.

The elders in the hall listened attentively, nodding and adding a few words from time to time.

Only Yu Linzhou was different.

He rested his chin on his hand listlessly, his eyes unfocused, clearly not having heard a word.

It's like he's gone back to his old carefree self.

This left everyone feeling both exasperated and helpless.

An elder standing next to Elder Xuanqing muttered through gritted teeth, "Look at him, does he look like he's here for a meeting? He can just find another disciple, why is he making such a fuss?"

Elder Xuanqing sighed helplessly, "It's good enough that he even came. If he hadn't come at all, who could say anything? Wasn't he always like this? He's just reverted to his old ways."

Everyone fell silent.

Grand Elder: "Since no one has any objections, let's conclude our discussion here for today. Dismissed."

Everyone stood up.

Yu Linzhou seemed to come back to his senses, slowly stood up, and even stretched.

As everyone watched his retreating figure, they all sighed in unison.

In fact, Yu Linzhou was not worried about Lin Zhixu's safety.

He believed that Lin Zhixu had enough wisdom and ability to protect himself.

If it were truly dangerous, Lin Zhixu would never have defected.

Moreover, he took Xiao Hei with him, so ordinary people can no longer hurt him.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he predicted.

Lin Zhixu spent two months in the Demon Palace having a very fulfilling time.

Li Hanshan was determined to cultivate Lin Zhixu's talent, and Lin's cultivation progressed at an astonishing speed.

In just two months, he has almost caught up with his previous cultivation level.

Moreover, each breakthrough he made was incredibly smooth. After his spiritual energy was converted into demonic energy, his previously stagnant meridians seemed to have been opened up, allowing him to progress by leaps and bounds. He never encountered any so-called bottlenecks.

It makes people feel that he is the chosen one of Heaven.

If the Heavenly Dao approves of demonic cultivators.

Li Hanshan grew increasingly fond of Lin Zhixu.

Previously, there was still some obsession with "this is Yu Linzhou's disciple", but now there is a genuine feeling of cherishing talent.

Li Hanshan watched Lin Zhixu break through to a higher realm with ease once again, and said with rare emotion, "If only you had grown up in the Demon Realm. Given time, if we joined forces, Yu Linzhou and Yan Lingcang would definitely be no match for us."

"What a pity, what a pity, fate is unfair. But thankfully, after all the twists and turns, you have returned to my side."

Lin Zhixu: "..."

You're getting too into character, aren't you?

Just then, someone came to report that Agu had returned.

Lin Zhixu raised an eyebrow. This person is still alive?

That sword really pierced his heart; although it didn't deliver the final blow, it was still enough to kill him. It's unbelievable that he survived; he's incredibly resilient.

Li Hanshan glanced at him and said, "Perfect, I'll take you out to meet him. From now on, you'll be on the same side. You two had a falling out before, but speaking of which, you stabbed him and almost killed him. We've evened things out."

He continued, "Agu has followed me for many years. He has a bad temper, but he is loyal. I hope you can get along well in the future and not make things difficult for me."

Lin Zhixu nodded, smiling innocently: "As long as he doesn't provoke me, I'll be easy to talk to."

Li Hanshan understood the underlying meaning in his words, nodded, and led him outside.

As soon as the two arrived at the front hall, Agu's voice came through first.

He looked travel-worn, with some lingering injuries on his face, but he was full of energy, excitedly talking to the person next to him.

Upon seeing Li Hanshan emerge, he immediately stepped forward, his voice booming, "My lord! Your subordinate is back! I've handled the matters you entrusted to me perfectly! Those fools have all been dealt with cleanly by me!"

Li Hanshan nodded: "Well done. Agu, you've worked hard this time."

Agu was pleased with the praise and was about to express his loyalty when he saw Li Hanshan turn slightly to the side and beckon to someone behind him.

Lin Zhixu then slowly walked out from behind Li Hanshan.

He was wearing a black brocade robe today, which made him look aloof and noble.

He looked at Agu, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Long time no see."

Agu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, and a surge of color rushed to his face.

"It's you! How dare you come here!" He roared, his demonic energy suddenly erupting. Without thinking, he lunged at Lin Zhixu. "Perfect! Today I'll kill you and avenge that sword wound!"

The demon general beside him watched him with schadenfreude.

Lin Zhixu didn't even move his feet, just stood there, even calmly putting his hands behind his back.

"Agu!" Li Hanshan's face darkened, his voice suddenly turning cold and sharp. "You dare to lay a hand on me!"

The rebuke carried an oppressive force, causing Agu to stiffen and abruptly stop moving.

His chest heaved violently, his eyes still fixed on Lin Zhixu, as if he were about to spit fire.

Li Hanshan said coldly, "From today onwards, he is also one of my people. If any of you dare to fight amongst yourselves again, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Lin Zhixu smiled and nodded: "Please guide me in the future."

Agu looked at his smile and felt it was mocking no matter how he looked at it.

He said incredulously, "My lord, he's already escaped once, why are you still worried about leaving him here? What if this is part of their conspiracy!"

Li Hanshan: "Don't worry, he has already become a demonic cultivator and has no way out. He can't possibly betray us. Even if he returns to the human realm, he will have nowhere to stay."

Agu was about to say something when Li Hanshan interrupted him.

Li Hanshan said coldly, "He stabbed you with a sword, but you underestimated him and didn't dodge. The fact that you survived with such injuries means you weren't meant to die."

"Since it's all in the past, there's no need to dwell on it. From now on, you will all be under my command, and you must work together to serve the great cause of the Demon Clan."

Agu choked.

He did not die, but that was not because Lin Zhixu showed mercy.

He was lucky to be alive, and the Venerable One returned in time, pulling him back from the brink of death and even curing the poison in his body.

Otherwise, he would have died long ago.

After recovering from his injuries for several days, he dreamed of tearing the bitch who stabbed him to pieces.

After finally returning home, he was told that this person should "get along well" with him from now on.

He glared at Lin Zhixu fiercely.

The latter still smiled gently and harmlessly, even tilting his head slightly, his eyes filled with silent mockery.

Ugh! He's going crazy! He's so angry!

Agu's chest felt like it was about to explode, but when he met Li Hanshan's cold eyes, he swallowed all the resentment in his heart.

He knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would not only fail to get justice, but would also annoy the Lord, and might even lose his life as a result.

"Yes." He lowered his head, his teeth grinding together. "I understand."

It's alright, there's plenty of time. One day he'll have a chance to tear this kid apart.

The demon generals watching from the sidelines stopped their gloating smiles.

His eyes turned to despair.

That's it. Even Agu can't do anything about this kid. Does that mean they'll never have a chance to rise up?
