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

Chapter 400 Mao Shen
Inn.

At this moment, Bai Mu Lingjun made a hand seal, and a gust of wind swirled around his fingertips. He opened his mouth and spoke softly, but Ji Ran, who was right next to him, could not hear him. He only saw a ripple swaying in the wind before it suddenly dissipated!

"Dragon Lord, Dream Eater should receive the message and arrive in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Ji Ran nodded, but found the method of communication used by the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord quite astonishing. It must be a communication spell utilizing wind elements. Similar abilities among travelers must have been acquired from the heavens. No one could create them themselves.

Through the talismans of this world, Ji Ran could roughly guess that the profession system was a way for ordinary people to quickly improve, but it was also a limitation.

It granted professionals the ability to use advanced skills, but it didn't impart any knowledge of the underlying logic of magic. Of course, some officials who enjoyed music and those who advised others did some research on this, but with little success. Even the Special Operations Department didn't have a dedicated research department.

"please."

Ji Ran raised his hand in greeting, and Bai Mu Ling Jun nodded, facing the demons.

At this moment, a strange look still lingered in his compound eyes; he didn't quite understand the old dragon king's actions. But his strength was undeniable, and his merits were beyond question.

Especially the Fox Spirit Lord, who was worried that things might get complicated if he waited too long, actually swallowed the merit at this moment!
A dense spiritual pressure emanated from her entire body, visibly increasing little by little! All sixteen Spirit Lords had no issues with their cultivation levels. Although their strength varied, their ability to break through to the fifth rank was limited by their accumulated merit.

Ji Ran has done her too many good deeds!

It won't be long. Judging from the current situation, it will only take a short while before we can leap over the Dragon Gate and ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm!

With a Spirit Lord who had broken through in public present, Bai Mu knew that his grand feast to unite the demons of the sixteen caves had completely benefited someone else.

A century of chaos is approaching, and those with courage and shrewdness will likely be as numerous as carp crossing a river.

With a slight sigh, Lord Baimu accepted it.

Now, what he needs is to use the Dragon Lord to ascend to the Heavenly Demon realm! Without the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, the celestial immortals would lose their greatest check on the cultivators of the world! Only by becoming a Heavenly Demon can one have the qualifications to participate in the game!

"Everyone!"

At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord waved his dark yellow sleeve, his gaze sweeping over the demons, and pointed to the bamboo slips on the table.

“We’ve been brothers and sisters for thousands of years. Even if someone really becomes a god, it’s not impossible for us to part ways amicably.”

"But if he becomes a deity, he won't go to the Taoist temple to receive incense offerings or worship the immortals. Instead, he'll pretend to be ordinary and stay by our side. That's despicable!"

At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord sneered, "Today, I regard the Han people in that small Void as a feast. The Three Sects and Seven Schools, however, regard us as having performed meritorious deeds!"

"Whoever wants to eat me, wait."

"Then let the Dragon Lord weigh his merits!"

As he spoke, Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord calmly looked at one of the demons at the table and said, "What do you think, Mountain-Moving Spirit Lord?"

"What does the Great Spirit Lord mean?!"

The bull demon that was called out glared angrily, stood up, and its huge body, which was a full ten and a half feet long, made it look like a small mountain.

"Thirty years ago! A dragon overturned the land in Helai County, and I killed 170,000 people!"

"Thirteen Taoist temples, all buried alive!"

"Among all the Spirit Lords present, not one of them can compare to my karmic burden!"

The Mountain-Moving Spirit Lord had a cold and stern expression, with surging evil energy behind him, revealing the blood debt he had committed!
"indeed."

The Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord nodded and said, "Everyone knows that you used magic to cause the earth dragon to turn over and gain karmic retribution."

"But in the same year, the current head of Longhu Mountain, He Xuanzhen, was promoted to the first rank of Shangqing Dadong Scripture.

"And it's only been three years since he was promoted to the second rank of the Scripture Master. Where did that enormous amount of merit come from?"

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Moving Spirit Lord's expression clearly showed a moment of panic!

However, he coldly replied, "Great Spirit Lord should ask He Xuanzhen about this."

"What a coincidence, He Xuanzhen actually did say it."

“However…” Bai Mu Zhenjun said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, “It was said to Qing Lu Zhenjun.”

"Otherwise, if True Lord Qinglu didn't see any benefits, he wouldn't have joined the Taoist sect and become a minor deity."

Upon hearing this, the Mountain-Moving True Lord was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically!

"Moo!"

With a low roar, the earth suddenly shook!
The ground beneath the ox's feet was about to turn into quicksand! The ox's feet were already sinking into it, and it was about to escape!
"Let you go?"

Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord's voice was calm and utterly undisturbed. Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed like a ghost!
bass!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four cold, clear arcs of light appeared out of thin air almost simultaneously, as fast as lightning!
The yellow ox demon, which was about to turn into sand and escape, suddenly froze—its four limbs were severed at the root in an instant!

The wound was as smooth as a mirror, and there wasn't even time for blood to spurt out.

"Roar--!"

Amidst the agonizing roars, the Yellow Ox Demon unleashed a torrent of quicksand that surged towards Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord like countless enraged giant pythons!

However, the clear light rippled slightly again, like the sun shining brighter than snow, and all the quicksand it touched instantly collapsed, turning into the most primordial dust and disappearing without a trace.

There was no earth-shattering clash of magical power; the only thing that Bai Mu Ling Jun did was to use his swordsmanship, which was extremely fast and extremely precise!
That pure swordsmanship sent a shiver down Ji Ran's spine as he watched!
This is definitely a sword technique beyond the level of a grandmaster!
Zheng——!
A clear, cold slash of a blade finally reached my ears.

A long, transparent blade, as clear as a cicada's wing, pierced silently through the thick nape of the ox's neck like a venomous snake, and emerged precisely from its Adam's apple!

Bang! ! !
The immense force dragged the ox's limbless body downwards, pinning it firmly to the heavy table!

Strangely, the transparent blade was shrouded in a layer of misty spiritual energy, like a seal that completely locked away the bull demon's immense spiritual power!
Its eyes were filled with terror and disbelief, but it could only lie slumped on the table like a lump of rotten flesh, unable to muster even a shred of strength.

The sleeves of Bai Mu Ling Jun's yellow robe slowly fell down, and three equally transparent longswords hung at his side, trembling slightly and emitting a dangerous hum.

The eyes of all the demons in the room trembled, and they all lowered their heads, with not one questioning the matter.

He was also demonstrating his strength!
Ji Ran could tell that even if Bai Mu wasn't a Heavenly Demon, his strength wouldn't be much weaker than a fifth-rank demon.

At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord looked at the Yellow Ox and said indifferently, "It seems that you are indeed working for that ox-nose."

"You took on someone else's karma and allowed them to gain immense merit, only to be reborn as a dog in return."

As Bai Mu spoke, he turned and bowed to Ji Ran, saying, "Dragon Lord."

"Moving Mountain is the Mao God I identified."

"However, Qinglu Lingjun's bamboo slips mention another one, but there are no clues whatsoever. I would appreciate it if Dragon Lord could point it out!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran nodded.

"Mao Shen is well-hidden; there's no way to trick him out of a second one."

The moment he heard Ji Ran utter the word "fraud," Bai Mu Lingjun abruptly looked up, his gaze filled with surprise.

Ji Ran just chuckled lightly. It's hard to say that Bai Mu hadn't tried to see what he was thinking.

There was no causal connection between the ox and the bamboo slip. This indicates that the ox and the bamboo slip have no connection whatsoever. The Hundred-Eyed True Lord's words were merely a tactic to deceive the ox.

However, the scalper had a guilty conscience and, after experiencing emotional turmoil overnight, dared not gamble and only thought about escaping, thus exposing his identity.

Indeed, there was a faint causal link on the bamboo slip, connected to the snake woman!

But what caught Ji Ran's eye was that there was an extremely thin causal link on the snake woman's body that connected her to him—it was the Shangqing Sect token!
She is the hair deity of the Shangqing sect.

Ji Ran raised an eyebrow, knowing that this demon might be of great use.

At this moment, the long-necked snake woman was still trying to remain calm, drinking blood wine. Ji Ran looked around, and when her gaze lingered on the snake woman, her body visibly stiffened.

"However, Lord Ling is overthinking it."

Ji Ran withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "There is no second Mao Shen here."
