Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 86 Thoughts are Clear (First update, please subscribe and vote)
"What? The Night Fury snake demon is dead, how is this possible?"

While Yue Xu was still busy searching for the trace of the Night Evil Snake Demon in the outer area, he heard someone below come to report that the Night Evil Snake Demon was dead.

His first reaction was to spread false information in an attempt to stop him from continuing to search for the Night Fury snake demon.

But when he saw that the other party was his subordinate in the Demon Slaying Division, he reacted.

This news should be true.

"Who killed the Night Fury?"

Yue Xu stared at the subordinate of the Demon Slaying Division with his eyes wide open, pulled up his sleeve and asked in a cold voice.

This mission is too important for him.

Because someone from above told him that a treasure that would be of great help to his martial arts practice was sent from the treasury of the Supervisory Council.

When he heard that the name of the treasure was the Hundred-Year Yuanpin Pearl, even though he knew that this mission had many pitfalls, he still decided to complete this mission brilliantly. Only in this way could he get the Hundred-Year Yuanpin Pearl.

There are too many people eyeing the Hundred-Year Yuanpin Pearl, and many of them have complicated identities and backgrounds. If it weren't for the rules and restrictions on the part of the Supervisory Office, those with powerful backgrounds would have taken it away directly!

There are a lot of people wrestling right now.

These people are doing the task in the front, and the people behind them are also helping them.

But at this moment, when Yue Xu heard that the Night Demon Snake Demon was dead, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

Not only was this mission not completed as per the requirements, but he also didn't get any useful information. Not to mention the hundred-year-old Yuanpin Pearl that he had been longing for, he might even be punished when he returned.

However, if the demon soul is not dead, then there is still a chance.

"Sir, there are many people near the crime scene, and we are not sure who killed the Night Fury snake demon yet."

"But Miao Ning is already on the scene!"

The subordinate quickly reported.

Two of them rushed to the scene of the commotion.

He came over to report the situation first.

"Come on, take us over to see the situation on the scene."

Yue Xu had controlled his emotions by this time, and instead helped his subordinate tidy up his clothes and patted him on the shoulder.

He wanted to see who was ruining his plans.

I also want to see if the evil spirit is still there.

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate from the Demon Slayer Division hurriedly led the way.

He didn't dare to delay at this time. He knew very well that Yue Xu was not angry at this time, but was just suppressing his anger.

When his anger erupts, it will be terrifying.

He didn't want to get into trouble.

Everyone walked towards the crime scene together.

Among the crowd, Inspector Min and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, when I came here to search for the Night Demon Snake Demon, I was still worried about my tribesmen in the city center.

Given the ferocious appearance of the Night Evil Snake Demon, if it came to their residence, it would surely start killing without restraint.

Monsters don't care who they kill.

Therefore, when they heard that the Night Demon Snake Demon was dead, they were all very happy. However, when they saw Yue Xu's appearance, no one laughed. However, this did not affect their secret happiness.

Moreover, the death of the Night Evil Snake Demon also means that the people from the Demon Slaying Department will leave soon, and they won’t have to search everywhere for the Night Evil Snake Demon every day!

Running for so long every day and searching even at night is very tiring.

Before, they never had to do this every day.

The group quickly arrived at the crime scene.

It was the city center area they had searched before, multiple times, but had found no trace of the Night Fury snake demon.

When Inspector Min and the others saw this, they were even more relieved that the Night Evil Snake Demon was dead, otherwise their relatives might have suffered, because the mansion here was not far from here.

The city center is where the powerful and wealthy live, and the distance between them is not too far.

Some people also blamed Yue Xu for insisting on taking down the Night Evil Snake Demon by himself. If he had asked the experts from Changqing Temple to help, the Night Evil Snake Demon would have been taken down long ago!

But no one dared to point it out to my face.

Yue Xu was very upset at this time, because he had come to this area three times, searched carefully, and deliberately left, and then secretly waited for the situation.

However, after failing to find any trace of the Night Fury Snake Demon for three consecutive times, he realized that he had guessed wrong and thought that the Night Fury Snake Demon had escaped, so he went to search in the outer areas.

Now it seems that he guessed the location of the Night Fury Snake Demon correctly, but he guessed its thoughts wrongly.

He was very annoyed. If he could do it again, he would definitely stay here and wait for the Night Fury Snake Demon to appear and capture it alive.

"Sir, I just checked and confirmed that there are no traces of Taoist magic nearby."

"This Night Fury snake demon was directly killed by some powerful weapon, its head and body crushed to pieces."

When the subordinates of the Demon Slaying Division saw Yue Xu coming, they quickly reported what they had found.

He searched the entire area thoroughly but found nothing useful.

It was even impossible to tell what weapon had killed the Night Evil Snake Demon.

Because this kind of brutal method was the first time he had seen it.

"Has the suspect who did the attack been spotted nearby?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xu hurriedly asked.

He directly identified the person who attacked as a suspect.

There are no traces of Taoist magic, so it can be confirmed that it was not the Yuandan master from Changqing Temple who took action.

This was not good news for Yue Xu. After all, if it was a master from Changqing Temple who took action, he could still find someone to blame.

"My subordinates didn't find anyone suspicious among the people who appeared nearby."

"The strongest of these people are warriors who have tempered their fascia. They don't have the strength to kill the Night Fury snake demon."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that someone possesses special means, but I haven't investigated this in detail yet."

"As for whether someone is hiding their strength, or whether there are other masters hiding in the dark, I don't know."

"It was too dark and I couldn't see my surroundings at all."

This subordinate of the Demon Slayer Bureau had just checked on the people who appeared nearby. It was also very simple, just to lend a hand and see the other party's reaction, so as to roughly know the other party's situation.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone is hiding their strength.

Even with lanterns at night, the light is limited.

The people who came to check were basically people from the neighborhood, to see what was going on.

"Are there any traces of the Night Fury snake demon's spirit?"

Yue Xu continued to ask, also asking the question that concerned him the most.

This issue is important to him.

If the soul of the Night Fury Snake Demon has not dissipated, bringing it back can barely complete the mission.

The reason why I didn't ask at the beginning was that there was a possibility that he would be taken away by the person who killed the Night Fury Snake Demon.

"Not a trace at all."

"It's very likely that it perished along with its physical body."

"You will understand after seeing it, sir!"

The subordinate of the Demon Slaying Division shook his head and said.

At the same time, it also shattered the last glimmer of hope in Yue Xu's heart.

"I'll go check out the scene, you guys guard this place."

Yue Xu rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly felt tired.

His mission failed, but there was no useful information at all, and the situation was getting worse and worse, which was very bad for him.

Yue Xu arrived at the crime scene and saw the Night Fury snake demon with its head shot. The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

No wonder his subordinates said there was no trace of the soul. For a Taoist master, if he was shot in the head, his soul would perish together with the other.

This is also an effective method for martial arts masters to deal with Taoist masters.

Unless the soul leaves the body in advance, it will not perish with the body, but in this case, the soul will not last long.

A soul without a body will slowly die away.

For those who practice Taoism, before becoming immortals, the physical body is a limitation, but also a layer of protection, allowing the soul to exist for a long time. Yue Xu searched the surroundings, but found no useful traces at all.

If there were no traces of Taoist magic, he would have suspected that it was a Taoist master who took action.

Otherwise how could it be so clean and neat.

"Now I understand!"

"Why do Taoist scriptures say 'the sky is vast, the earth is vast, thoughts are the greatest, and when thoughts are clear, all things are accomplished'?"

After returning to his rented place, Shi Yi felt his thoughts were clear and he was in a very relaxed mood.

Killing the Night Demon Snake made his mind clear.

Shi Yi could clearly feel that his soul was growing stronger and the shadow of his soul was solidifying rapidly. It felt like he had taken an extremely precious tonic, which made his soul power increase rapidly.

He was a little confused at first, until he thought about the enlightenment mentioned in the Taoist book, and suddenly understood.

Taoist practice is different from martial arts practice. It is a spiritual practice, so belief is very important.

At the beginning, Lou Xuanming told him that great scholars studied hard for many years, and suddenly they were enlightened and became saints after overcoming tribulations. This was because their spiritual accumulation was strong enough, and once they realized the truth, their practice was successful in an instant.

Shi Yi's gains were not that great, but the moment his mind became clear, he understood a lot, and his soul became completely solid, leading him to the peak of night travel.

He could clearly feel the connection between his soul and the earth, and he could also break this connection, which was the key to allowing his soul to go out and not be blown away by the wind.

"In addition to hard work, the practice of Taoism also requires the understanding of life."

“This step has really enlightened me!”

"Night Fury Snake Demon, I really want to thank you, otherwise I would not have understood this."

Shi Yi's mouth corners rose slightly, and he was in a good mood.

Before this, because he had been in a safe state and practicing peacefully, he was unable to perceive some special insights.

What a person wants to understand depends on the environment he is in.

How can you understand it if you don’t experience it yourself?

Just like a healthy person, how can he truly understand the pain of a disabled person?

The hardships in life, the strange looks from others, the inner torment, etc.

The person who says he understands really doesn’t understand.

“Return to the origin as the guide, trace back to the source.”

"Boy, you killed me!"

A snake-shaped soul appeared in Shi Yi's rental house, staring at Shi Yi viciously.

This is the spirit of the Night Demon snake.

The soul body is invisible and intangible, but it has faint traces of being visible.

"You've ruined my path, I'm going to kill you!"

It was not surprising that the Night Demon Snake Demon did not react to Shi Yi, because it was a soul and there was no way a mortal eye could see him.

It pounced directly on him, drove his body into the air, and made him fall from a high altitude, killing him.

Originally, the Night Evil Snake Demon had many methods, but when it allowed the soul to avoid a fatal blow, the consumption was too great, and it could barely maintain the ability to drive away objects. The powerful killing magic was difficult to perform, and it could only use the most instinctive magic.

This is also its last bit of strength, and it wants Shi Yi to be buried with it.

It got the opportunity and thought that its beautiful life would begin from then on, but it didn't expect that this was the beginning of its disaster.

Since it got the opportunity, it has never had a smooth life. It has been displaced all the way, and its life is much worse than before it got the opportunity.

Now it is about to be torn to pieces, which makes it very unwilling.

So it wants revenge and kills the mortal enemy in front of it.

"Monster, die!"

When the soul of the Night Evil Snake Demon approached, Shi Yi took out the electric baton from his waist and circulated his energy and blood at the same time.

With a punch, lightning and blood collided together.

"Damn it, you actually mastered the power of thunder and lightning..."

The Night Fury snake demon felt these two forces and was instantly terrified.

Before it could finish its words, its soul was shattered.

To be precise, it was first dispersed by the electric light, and then completely dispersed by the Qi and blood!
In an instant, a very obvious cold wind blew in the house. This was the power of the ghost, the power that dissipated the ghost.

When Shi Yi lets his soul leave his body, this kind of cold wind will also appear on his body, but the movement is very small.

Martial arts practitioners cannot see ghosts, so they will use this method to investigate and confirm whether there are any ghosts hiding nearby.

Only martial arts masters can see the traces of ghosts.

"The centipede is dead but not stiff."

"Taoist masters really can't be judged by common sense, and the same goes for monsters."

"Fortunately, I didn't try to let my soul leave my body just now. Otherwise, even if my soul had just been promoted to the Night Wandering Great Accomplishment Realm, it would definitely not be a match for the Night Demon Snake Demon."

Shi Yi felt somewhat relieved because he had just killed the Night Evil Snake Demon, which made his thoughts clearer and his cultivation improved.

But I didn't expect to encounter hidden dangers.

"The teleportation function was still cooling down. If I hadn't dealt with the Night Fury snake demon's soul, I might have been in danger!"

This was also the most direct time that Shi Yi faced danger.

He had encountered dangers before, but they were all within his control. This time, it was beyond his expectations.

"Next time if I attack a Taoist master, a demon, or something else, and I hit it with one strike, I should go back to Blue Star directly."

"No matter what tricks these Taoist masters have, it will be impossible for them to find me across the border."

"Now, every failure is a learning experience."

Shi Yi calmed down and summarized the process of this battle.

When he is happy, he may be in danger.

It was also because the Night Demon Snake Demon didn't know that he could see ghosts, and he had prepared some self-defense measures on him, otherwise he would have been in danger this time!

"But this time it's confirmed that electric batons have a significant killing effect on ghosts."

"Increasing the power will definitely increase the lethality."

"Looks like we should go abroad and buy more powerful electric batons!"

Shi Yi glanced at the electric baton in his hand, which had played a very important role just now.

The moment you touch the ghost, it will be dispersed immediately. This function is so useful!
"I don't know how powerful the lightning-struck wooden magic weapon that Master Song has someone create will be."

What Shi Yi was looking forward to more was the lightning-struck wood. After all, it was a magic weapon, a magic weapon that was more suitable for souls to use and could exert greater power.

While Shi Yi was thinking about this, the gloomy wind in the room completely dissipated, leaving only a suspended crystal.

"Is this a demon crystal?"

Shi Yi was very surprised when he saw this scene.

After a monster dies or its thoughts dissipate, it is possible that it will leave behind monster crystals, which are the essence of the monster's soul power. However, a weak monster will not be able to leave behind monster crystals. Only the strong monsters can leave behind monster crystals.

As far as Shi Yi knew, the Night Evil Snake Demon's Taoist cultivation level was only at the Yuandan level during its heyday. Although it was very powerful in the county, it was not at the level of being able to leave behind demon crystals.

Not to mention that the Night Evil Snake Demon was seriously injured and its cultivation level dropped. It should only have the ability to drive away objects. In this case, it is basically impossible for it to leave behind the demon crystal.

A divine light flickered in Shi Yi's pupils, but he did not see any breath of ghosts in them.

He used the electric baton to shock the demon crystal a few more times, but there was no reaction. This confirmed that there was no demon soul hidden inside!
Shi Yi stretched out his hand, wanting to pick it up and check it out, only to see the demon crystal fly to his brows and then disappear into his brows.

A strange memory appeared in Shi Yi's mind.

In this memory, he turned into a night snake demon. He was born in an eggshell, grew up little by little, became enlightened by accident, came into contact with spiritual practice, and grew up slowly. In the Yonghuai River, he saw the Sky Dragon King flying to the sky to transcend the calamity.

A broken demon crystal fell from the thunder circle and landed in the Yonghuai River, causing a flood in the Yonghuai River.

It found the broken demon crystal in the water and swallowed it, but was seen by a human Taoist master who used a powerful Taoist spell on it, seriously injuring it.

If it had not dived into the Yonghuai River, it would have died at the hands of that human Taoist master.

Afterwards, it followed the river and sneaked into Danjiang, and later hid in Ninghe County.

In the end, it was inexplicably killed, ending the life of this night snake demon.

"No wonder the demon crystals were able to be gathered together. It turns out it was because of that Heavenly Dragon King Demon Crystal."

After Shi Yi accepted these memories, he finally understood the reason!
He also knew why the people from the Demon Slaying Division had never been able to capture the Night Evil Snake Demon. It turned out to be because of the broken demon crystal that fell from the Sky Dragon King when he was undergoing his tribulation.
