"Wh-what should we do?"
Gu Nanzhi looked at Lord Lin.
He seemed to be a natural-born leader.
It wasn’t just his immense strength, but also his incredibly meticulous mind.
Even she, his aunt, hadn’t considered that Chang Yi’s parents still had to live in the mortal world.
"Tsk."
Lin Shu lowered his gaze slightly, looking at the dark, unconscious face.
’Brother Baodao was growing up pretty fast. He didn’t lack the courage to think and act boldly, and he was much calmer than before when he took action. For a fifteen-year-old who had been coddled at home his whole life, his performance was already quite impressive. His current predicament wasn’t because he made a mistake at some point. It was simply that his strength was too low, and a Great Cultivator had targeted him. But say what you will, whatever else you could say about the Demon-slaying Bureau, their resources were truly abundant. If one could accumulate enough merits, their cultivation progress would definitely not be slow.’
"Hang him back up."
Lin Shu withdrew his gaze and casually waved his sleeve. A Demon-Binding Rope shot backward, tying the boy up again.
"Er."
Monkey was stunned for a moment but didn’t ask any questions. He quickly took hold of him again.
Anyone with eyes could see how ruthlessly the Demon-slaying Bureau treated its new subordinates.
If Chang Yi went back, there would likely be other dangers awaiting him.
Yet even Gu Nanzhi didn’t rush to question him, instead waiting quietly for Lord Lin’s arrangements.
Lin Shu turned and looked into the distance.
Swept up by a wave of Spiritual Power, an exquisite Jade Gourd suddenly flew out from one of the Captains. It was only two inches tall.
He had just noticed that this Captain had been furtively using this item to collect something.
"That’s a Qi-Introducing Gourd, a special Magical Artifact the Demon-slaying Bureau uses to track Demons," explained Xie Yutang, who had clearly seen one before.
Lin Shu mulled it over for a moment, then secretly summoned the Golden Lion Statue.
’This thing had been born from that Mottled Copper Ring. From it, I had only comprehended a Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Formula that left almost no trace of its aura. Afterward, with the dual enhancement of the Cyan Simurgh Essence Blood and the Blood Stone Spiritual Qi, the Fierce Lion Burning Blood Technique’s aura already had little to do with that of the Golden Lion itself. Adding to that the Breath Concealment effect of my "Tribulation" Spiritual Root, I don’t have to worry about anyone connecting this aura to Shopkeeper Lin of the inn.’
He drew a wisp of aura from the Golden Lion Statue and infused it into the Qi-Introducing Gourd.
WHOOSH!
The next moment, Lin Shu flicked a finger, and the gourd vanished into Chang Yi’s robes.
’He trusted that after all Chang Yi had been through, he would know how to produce the gourd without arousing suspicion and use it to its greatest effect.’
’The Demon-slaying Bureau liked to go fishing, did they?’
’Well, I know a thing or two about that myself.’
"All right, let’s go back."
Lin Shu dusted off his sleeves and glanced at Gu Nanzhi. "Inside Yongzhou Pass, I’ll have someone help keep an eye on him."
Hearing this, Gu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She of course knew who Lord Lin was talking about.
With Yu Sheng’s current status, even if she couldn’t exactly do whatever she wanted in Yongzhou Pass, at least in the area around Shihu, not even Yu Duchuan would dare to truly touch her.
If Chang Yi truly ran into danger, with this Little Mountain God stepping in, saving his life wouldn’t be a problem.
At this thought, Gu Nanzhi suddenly glanced at her nephew’s chest.
’There’s something about Lord Lin placing the Qi-Introducing Gourd on my nephew that looks more and more familiar the longer I look. It inexplicably reminds me of that ledger back in Black Water City.’
"What about outside Yongzhou Pass? He’s a Demon-slaying Bureau constable, so he’ll definitely have to deal with Demons..."
Just then, an ill-timed voice suddenly spoke up.
Lu Yun scratched his scalp in confusion.
He was immediately met with several strange looks.
Monkey’s mouth twitched, and he said irritably, "Outside Yongzhou Pass is our territory! Our Lord Demon General calls the shots, got it?!"
He was starting to blindly worship Lin Shu.
With the Moon-Devouring Demon General’s current reputation, even after taking up a banner, he was still just the lowest-ranking among the thirty-odd Demon Generals on Demon Mountain.
But there was nothing wrong with that statement.
With a Demon General secretly watching over him, Chang Yi would naturally be much safer moving through Demon Mountain than the other constables.
All the Little Demons quickly got busy.
Some collected corpses, while others hung up the man.
At Lin Shu’s instruction, Monkey even deliberately left a letter for the Demon-slaying Bureau.
"Phew."
Gu Nanzhi looked at the figure hanging from the large tree.
A Little Demon skilled in healing Immortal Techniques had already stabilized his life force, but to avoid arousing suspicion, they hadn’t treated his external injuries.
"Let’s go. It’s not a good time for you to see him. We’ll leave someone nearby to watch," Xie Yutang said, gently patting her shoulder.
"I understand."
Gu Nanzhi finally looked away and turned to follow the other demons deep into the mountains.
’She just felt that this world was too absurd. They had clearly done nothing wrong, and had even worked so hard to maintain the peace in Black Water City. She had thought everything would get better after the city opened. Who would have thought that stepping across that Black River would lead to a fate where she couldn’t see her own family, a fate where she could barely even protect her own life?’
"Why do I feel like I’m dreaming?"
The group of Little Demons watched the tall, slender figure walking slowly ahead of them.
The Little Demon known as Baldy suddenly reached out and squeezed Lu Yun’s wound hard. "Does it hurt?"
"OW!!"
Hearing the man’s miserable cry, Baldy finally relaxed, so excited his breathing trembled. "It’s real."
A Demon General had really descended from the heavens and taken up the banner for them, just like that.
"Red Face, we have a Demon General! We’re not Scattered Demons anymore!"
