Immortality by Merit and Sin Coins

Chapter 219: Chapter 121: A Blessed Land Within the Calamity

After Lin Shu forcibly pulled her off, she immediately reached out again, touching his well-defined stomach.

Once she confirmed there were no wounds, the little chick started wailing, ”Why?! Why?! Why did you become a Demon without me?!”

”Stop squawking.”

Lin Shu tapped her on the forehead. ”Get ready to run.”

”Senior Brother Lin, I want to go with you too!” After learning the young man was a Demon, Yan Jin decided without a moment’s hesitation to follow him into the Demon Mountain.

”Yes, bring her! The three of us can be Demons together.” Yu Sheng scrambled to her feet, saying frantically, ”Let’s go, let’s go! We can’t let that old bastard catch us.”

”You two are the ones who need to run.”

Lin Shu glanced over at the stunned Yan Jin and asked, ”You know the way to Yongzhou, right?”

”I do... but what about you?”

Yan Jin’s eyes widened. He had already revealed his identity in Shihu City.

If they hesitated any longer, she feared the Golden Light of the Mountain God Mirror would come for them.

”Listen.”

Lin Shu casually glanced outside.

After the surging black flames dissipated, the two women froze for a moment before they noticed the commotion outside.

In an instant, terror washed over their faces.

It was Demon Qi! A vast, overwhelming Demon Qi that covered the mountains and wilderness, so dense it felt like it could swallow a person whole!

As they listened closely,

roars echoed one after another throughout the majestic mountains of the entire outer Border Region. Just hearing the brutal sounds was enough to send a chill to the bone.

”You’re in charge of directions. Take Yu Sheng back to Yongzhou.”

”If you encounter scattered disciples along the way who aren’t being led by an Immortal Descendant, you can bring them along.”

”If there is an Immortal Descendant...”

Lin Shu tossed several Child Stones to her.

Looking at the familiar objects, Yan Jin understood immediately. Nothing more needed to be said.

”I don’t wanna go to Yongzhou! I want to follow you and be a Little Demon!” Yu Sheng grabbed his arm and began to throw a tantrum.

”Then you can go be a Demon. I, on the other hand, am the Yu Family’s Mountain Master.”

Lin Shu reached out and pinched her cheek.

’Even though the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord’s former consciousness had been erased by the Sin Coin, the missing heart was still a huge problem.

Just in the foreseeable Golden Core Stage, it would severely hinder his Cultivation.

He wouldn’t be able to form a Sixth-Transformation Dragon Tiger Treasure Pill, forcing him to pursue the Illusory and Vague Nine-Turns Purple Sky Golden Core instead.

The elemental imbalance would certainly affect his future path of cultivation.

Besides, in his previous life, he’d heard of people using things like hair and fingernails to curse others.

Those were most likely just folk legends, not worth taking seriously.

But in this world, where even Immortals were real, things were completely different.

If he didn’t figure out what had happened and how to fix it, this would remain a fatal hidden danger that could explode at any moment.

He could either live in constant anxiety or make a trip to Yongzhou.’

”I need this identity, so you can’t mess it up for me. This is a chance for you to make a name for yourself, which will make us all safer.” Lin Shu ruffled the little chick’s head.

”Really?” Yu Sheng froze for a second, then quickly stood up straight and clenched her fist. ”I guarantee mission completion!”

”Be careful, Senior Brother Lin.” Yan Jin hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn’t press him on why he wasn’t leaving with them.

’Is there something else he’s after here in Yongzhou Pass?’

Just then, the inn’s shattered door was gently pushed open.

”Lord Lin, everything has been arranged.” Gu Nanzhi walked in and reported softly.

...

The moment she saw her, Yan Jin’s mind went blank, her expression dazed.

The County Captain, who should have been far away in Anren Prefecture, had inexplicably appeared in the Border Region, thousands of miles from home.

And from her tone, Gu Nanzhi was Senior Brother Lin’s subordinate.

’Trial Disciples don’t have subordinates,’ she thought. ’So that only leaves one possibility: she serves under the Moon-Devouring Demon General.’

”Ah... Her! Ah... h-h-her!!”

The little chick’s gaze shot back and forth between the busty woman and Lin Shu.

Seeing how familiar the two of them were,

she suddenly recalled Lin Shu’s recent strange behavior—all those times he wasn’t home.

”I don’t want to run away anymore! Just call a Demon over to eat me! I want a Demon to eat me right now!” Her fair, delicate little face suddenly flushed red.

”Master, Senior Brother Lin and the others are discussing important business. Please don’t make a scene.”

Yan Jin snapped back to her senses and quickly dragged the heartbroken little chick out of the inn.

This was no time to be jealous, not when they were enveloped in such terrifying Demon Qi.

’But I have to admit... Master’s earlier guess was frighteningly accurate.’

”The Little Mountain God doesn’t seem to like me very much. Did I do something wrong?”

Gu Nanzhi looked away, puzzled.

She thought back carefully. From their first meeting until now, aside from that one time she’d investigated the Old Woodshed, she couldn’t recall doing anything to offend the other girl.

”Ahem.”

A strange look flickered in Lin Shu’s eyes as he shook his head. ”It’s nothing.”

’It’s not that you did anything wrong. It’s more about... genetics.

You can’t really blame County Captain Gu for that.’

”Alright, go on.”

He summoned eight hundred taels of Sin Coin and used some of it to restore the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord’s Magical Power to its peak.

With this initial capital, he no longer had to be as frugal as he was when dealing with Yu Xin. He could afford to be a bit bolder during this demon calamity.

Lin Shu strode out of the inn.

The Yongzhou Border Region stretched for thousands of miles, but only the area around Shihu City was quiet.

Thanks to the arrangements he’d made over the past few days,

with Yu Sheng’s strength, as long as she didn’t get lost and wander into the attack range of another Demon General, there would be no major issues.

There was no need for her to leave in a hurry, either.

Every Immortal Descendant Disciple she rescued would further build her reputation in Yongzhou.

Since he was the one who had given the order, Lin Shu could also earn some Merit Coins from her actions, making it a win-win situation.

Soon, a magnificent Cyan Simurgh rose into the sky from Shihu City.

Its massive form easily drew the attention of the disciples fleeing in panic.

”I am Yu Sheng of Shihu City! If you wish to live, flee with me!”

It had to be said that while she could still be childish,

when it came to important business, Yu Sheng never dropped the ball. She had already composed herself.

Her clear voice rang out, audible even to the people in the several nearby Earth Cities.

While many other Immortal Descendants abandoned their disciples and fled in terror, not daring to even reveal their true forms, a member of an Immortal Family who dared to stand tall was exceptionally conspicuous.

Of course, doing so was also incredibly risky.

After all, the primary targets for the Demon Evils were these Immortal Descendants—they held old grudges against them, and they could also be exchanged for resources.

But around Shihu City,

whether it was the Qingming Demon General or the other Demon Generals she had summoned, all stood leisurely among the mountains, as if they couldn’t see Yu Sheng at all.

The Group of Demons had long since received the news.

This Immortal Descendant from Shihu City was being raised by the notoriously ferocious Moon-Devouring Demon General.

He was just building up hype for his own little cub.

”Prepare to die!”

Seeing that hundreds of disciples had already gathered, the Golden Bear Demon General strode through the air. His Demon Qi swept across the sky as he swung his blade down at the Cyan Simurgh.

Startled, Yu Sheng instinctively flapped her wings.

The next thing she knew, the Demon General was sent flying backward over a hundred zhang, fleeing in a pathetic state and leaving only a terrified shout behind.

”As expected! As expected of the Yu Family’s Celestial Pride! Just you wait, this General will be back!”

...

The terrifying Demon Qi vanished in an instant, and the panicked disciples from the various families finally stopped screaming.

They looked up at the enormous Cyan Simurgh in the sky, their eyes wide with shock.

No one had ever imagined that Immortal Yu Sheng, who had only just come of age, possessed such courage and power.

In contrast, the City Lord’s Mansion remained utterly silent.

In comparison, the so-called City Lord seemed utterly cowardly!
