All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 392 The Fake Dragon Lord and Little Taixu

In the drizzle, Shuanghua Honggun leaped and arrived at Ji Ran's side.

Bang!
He raised his hand and patted Ji Ran on the shoulder, his excitement evident!
"How?"

He rubbed the double-flowered red staff in his palm. Although his strength had increased dramatically, he had not been able to make much of a difference on Yingzhou Immortal Island.

Especially since he has mastered the field, he has never used it at full strength.

"Naturally, we should eat at the banquet first."

Ji Ran smiled, her expression becoming much more composed.

Shuanghua Honggun is well aware of his own strength. As a Nightmare Master with extremely strong combat talent, and possessing the Alien Devourer that can transform into a giant Mirage Ghost Scale Beast, even if he is suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate, his combat power is definitely comparable to a level 5!
Before arriving, Shuanghua Honggun already knew that those martial arts figures had risked their lives in Ji Ran's previous mission, exchanging their blood and flesh for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Nanhai County.

Upon learning this, the Double Flower Red Stick immediately became serious, abandoning his previous thoughts of stealing merit through underhanded means. Instead, he proactively asked how to save the person.

This kind of mindset and nature, in Ji Ran's eyes, is more like that of a phoenix guest than a nightmare master. One's true nature doesn't lie, but it will have its own inclinations.

Li Hanzhang, standing nearby, was completely frozen in place as he watched this scene unfold.

It shortens your lifespan!
Are these two groups of demons actually working together?
Based on his understanding of monsters, Li Hanzhang felt that he might really be doomed.

"Little brother, don't be afraid."

A warm fragrance wafted over him, and a beautiful woman gazed at him with captivating, moist eyes, her lips parting slightly as she murmured, "What a handsome young man... but I wonder—"

"who is she?"

"A sly fox."

The man with the double-flowered red stick glanced at it and asked, "Are we going to kill him?"

Bang!

The lust in the fox demon's eyes vanished instantly, and he knelt in the mud, pleading, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"That black bastard Bai Lao made the Dragon Lord close the inn, so the banquet was all Spirit Lords, and there were no Celestials."

With tears welling in its eyes, the fox demon said, "I am willing to join forces with the two friendly spirit lords to recommend the two kings so that we may share the merit together!"

At this moment, the fox demon knelt and kowtowed before the double-flowered red stick, while the old demon on the carriage behind him also knelt tremblingly on the ground, his horse-like face covered in mud.

Ji Ran had told Shuanghua Honggun about her previous encounter at the inn through the cicada's song, and it was clear that the fox demon had heard it too.

"Talk about it."

Ji Ran leaned against the withered tree and asked, "What exactly is the Merit Feast like?"

"Are those江湖人士 (jianghu figures) still alive?"

The fox demon trembled like a leaf!

That calm tone, however, carried a chilling killing intent! As a spirit demon who had reached the fourth rank of Celestial Being, she understood that the man before her, no, this demon, was at least a Celestial Demon!
She believed that if she answered even one word wrong, she would be doomed.

“Alive, still alive!”

The fox demon immediately said, "They are in this town southeast of the Huai River!"

"We...we saved a lot of people!"

"The Tang army has stationed troops to guard the area, and no southerners are allowed to set foot north of the Huai River. Many people have died and sunk into the Huai River."

"Later, Lord Baimu Lingjun cast a spell, and together with Lord Mengshi Lingjun's little Taixu, they created a fake border town!"

"Now, all those who are still alive are in that little void!"

"Little Void, a similar realm."

The man with the double red stick next to him had obviously asked, and he explained to Ji Ran at this moment.

Ji Ran's brows relaxed slightly; it was good that he was alive.

"How should the merit-giving banquet be held?"

The fox demon immediately said, "Originally, we planned to stay at the old dragon king's inn so that he could be involved in karma."

"But that black bastard deserves to die, he ruined everything!"

"Oh?"

Ji Ran raised an eyebrow, realizing the problem.

"At the time, I listened to him and invited that old dragon king to be the person in charge."

Upon hearing this, the fox demon's face suddenly hardened, and she shrieked, "That scoundrel is a black-hearted, foul-mouthed filthy bastard!"

The fox demon looked up and said, "We, the sixteen spirit lords, originally intended to hold a merit feast at the inn where the Dragon Lord shelters wandering ghosts, and give him more than half of our merits. In this way, if there are any problems with the merits in the future, the old Dragon Lord will be the first to bear the blame."

"This can't be considered a scam, since it's more than half of the merit, which would be of great use even to a celestial demon."

"Moreover, the Old Dragon Lord didn't need to participate or even utter a sound throughout the entire process. The karma he accumulated only involved those martial arts practitioners." "But that black-clad fellow pointed it out: if the Old Dragon Lord were still alive, he would have been entangled not only in the karma of ordinary martial arts practitioners, but also in the karma of the Sixteen Cave Spirit Lords!"

"We are demons not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and he naturally does not wish to be tainted by our karma!"

"Well."

Ji Ran nodded; he roughly understood.

This is a group of monsters who want to devour the merits of those martial arts practitioners, but are unwilling to take the risks. After all, everyone can see that the waters of the South are treacherous, so they want to find someone who can handle things.

This behavior is tantamount to seeking help from a master. If you don't point it out, they can pretend to be confused later. If someone asks, then it's like how Lord Yin of Huai River dealt with some criminals of the Han Dynasty—reasonable and lawful.

The Hundred Elders Spirit Lord pointed out that once the matter came to light, it would be the Huai River Yin Lord colluding with the demons of the Sixteen Caves to devour the merits of humankind!

The nature is completely different.

"Then why did he do that?"

"It's all for the sake of merit! If half is given away and then divided again, at most one or two Heavenly Demons will emerge. Those ranked third and fourth will lose the opportunity to break through immediately."

The fox demon took a deep breath and said, "That black fellow is ranked last, he must be acting under the orders of some great spirit lord!"

Ji Ran and Shuanghua Honggun exchanged a glance and communicated through cicada sounds.

Immediately, he pulled from the air and a leather mask appeared in his hand.

[Painted Skin]: A remnant of the leather from a Painted Skin Yaksha, usable three times to transform into different appearances. (2/3)

The Painted Skin Demon has fallen!
I have only used it once in Tianjin World, when I entered the missionary church, and I have two uses left.

"Are you sixteen cave demons familiar with the Old Dragon Lord?"

"I'm not familiar with him. That old Dragon Lord has a rank, which is different from ours."

"That's good."

Ji Ran, imagining the old Dragon Lord's appearance, pasted the painted mask onto his face, transforming himself into the old Dragon Lord's likeness!

Although there were some differences in body shape, his face had become that of the white-bearded old man!

Amidst the fox demon's astonished gaze, Ji Ran calmly said, "Now, I am the Old Dragon Lord."

"You come up with an excuse to make them believe it."

"Is it possible?"

The fox demon shuddered and bowed her head, saying, "Yes!"

next to.

The man with the double red stick chuckled as he watched, then patted Li Hanzhang on the shoulder and asked, "A living person?"

"Yes, he's not dead yet."

Li Hanzhang had resigned himself to his fate, and spoke quite bluntly, saying, "Senior, are you planning to use me as an appetizer at the banquet later?"

"No, I need you to do something."

"What's the matter?"

"Rescue."

"?"

……

It's getting late.

An inn was erected by magic and appeared under the setting sun over the Huai River. The fox demon who built the inn was adjusting her breathing nearby.

However, Li Hanzhang replaced the scabbard of the Nine Dragon Sword with a blood-red short sword, boarded the carriage driven by the horse demon, and drove towards Xiao Taixu, where the Jianghu traveler was imprisoned.

"Can he succeed?"

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Shuanghua Honggun, somewhat distrustful, said, "His skill level is only around level 2."

"He's like a mount."

Ji Ran waved his hand and said, "The Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo is the real body."

"Get ready."

"The feast is about to begin."

"to make."
