Chapter 66: Chapter 65 Play the True Demon Path and Kill!

“Ah?”

After listening to the introduction by the old ancestor, Yang Shi was shocked, and there was only one thought in his mind:

“Damn, let him play to kill with the real Demon Path!”

They are all talk in the workshop, but Ding Zhen is serious!

We leap towards gods, he leaps towards demons!

Dong Xi, a nascent figure in the Demon Path destined to become a giant, turns out to be Murong Ziyuan’s henchman!

Who would believe this if it were spoken aloud?

However… Thinking of the old ancestor’s instructions, Yang Shi still felt somewhat apprehensive.

Ding Zhen was eating alone; he slowly walked over and sat beside Ding Zhen.

“I see that fate has brought us together, fellow daoist. May we have a chat?”

Ding Zhen raised an eyebrow and noticed Yang Shi, the memories of Qingshi County flooding his mind.

Is it him?

How did he come to the distant Wan’an County?

Does he recognize me?

Ding Zhen thought it unlikely since he had a mid-grade Magic Artifact that altered his appearance, which even Qi Refinement cultivators couldn’t see through, let alone a mere Innate master.

“Oh? I also find you somewhat familiar… Seems I’ve seen you somewhere before?” Ding Zhen ventured.

“It has been 13 years since we last met in Qingshi County.”

Indeed!

Ding Zhen sharply turned to look at Yang Shi, his eyes brimming with a murderous intent. If it hadn’t been for their location in the Spiritual Food Inn, he would have captured Yang Shi immediately.

“You had better clarify things.”

Under his robe, a golden light flashed.

Yang Shi chuckled, “Brother Ding, don’t be nervous. We are friends, not enemies. Please, lean closer so I may explain.”

Ding Zhen’s mind filled with questions, he leaned his ear closer.

Yang Shi confidently uttered five words:

“Long live the eldest sister.”

The golden light within Ding Zhen’s robe dissipated, his eyes filled with shock.

“You… too?”

Yang Shi took out his own Xuan Stone walking talisman and a Thunder Talisman.

“The eldest sister gave them to me personally; could there be any mistake? I also work for the eldest sister…”

Ding Zhen suddenly realized.

No wonder that year Murong Ziyuan publicly gave an ordinary mortal a Xuan Stone walking talisman—she was planning ahead…

“So, when I was captured back then, was it…”

“We had agreed on it long ago,” Yang Shi said without even blinking.

“I see…”

After this exchange, all of Ding Zhen’s doubts were dispelled, because aside from the eldest sister, no one else knew his real identity—a undercover agent from the Xuan Stone Sect.

Back then, after they were captured by the eldest sister, he thought he was finished, doomed to be whipped to death by the fiercest whip technique of the Xuan Stone Sect. But then… Murong Ziyuan disclosed something to him.

His master, the Demon Blood Lord, cultivated by absorbing people’s resentment.

Year-round, his underlings massacred loose cultivator families and then abducted their children to take as disciples, harnessing their intense resentment for cultivation and simultaneously training them to be the most loyal minions of the Demon Path.

This meant… Ding Zhen’s father had been killed by his own master.

He had not believed it initially, but once he investigated as a member of the Demon Path… it matched exactly what Murong Ziyuan had said; from that day onward, Ding Zhen’s faith in the Demon Path completely crumbled.

He had only one desire: to personally kill the Demon Blood Lord and then erase the entire Blood Soul Valley from this world!

Over the years, the fierce battles between Blood Soul Valley and the Xuan Stone Sect were largely due to him.

While the Xuan Stone Sect had suffered casualties, Blood Soul Valley was severely weakened. If not for the intervention of a mysterious force… Blood Soul Valley would have been eradicated by the Xuan Stone Sect by now.

Recently, he had tracked that mysterious force to Wan’an County, seeking to uncover who was aiding Blood Soul Valley.

Now, encountering another subordinate of the eldest sister, he felt it was probably true, but he remained cautious in his heart.

“Brother Shi, what brings you all the way to Wan’an County?”

Yang Shi spoke softly, “I need to take some items to the Xuan Stone Sect and just passed by here, coincidentally encountering you. The items given to me by the eldest sister can sense the presence of comrades.”

Ding Zhen nodded, Murong Ziyuan had also given him a talisman which could save his life if caught by disciples of the Xuan Stone Sect.

Clearly, the two shared the same master, and he could faintly sense the presence of the eldest sister in the Xuan Stone walking talisman, and that Thunder Talisman… was too distinctive. In the entire Danai Dynasty, only the eldest sister, a Foundation Establishment Thunder Cultivator, possessed such an item.

“Ah… I see, so will you be departing tomorrow, brother Yang Shi?”

“Yes.”

Since it was but a chance encounter, there would be nothing more to it; he was going to track down that mysterious faction tomorrow…

“You and I, brothers at first sight, if there’s anything Ding Zhen can help with in the future, just give the word.” Ding Zhen politely excused himself, then began to drink tea, signaling it was time for the guest to leave.

“Actually, there is one thing I need Brother Ding’s help with.”

“Cough cough~ What is it?” Ding Zhen choked on his tea.

“Along the way, I encountered quite a few demon cultivators… surrounded by dangers, many times I nearly perished outside. Brother Ding, your art of disguise is superb. Is there any way you could help me disguise myself as a demon cultivator as well? It would avoid a lot of trouble on the road…”

Once disguised as a demon cultivator, he could secretly take them out.

“This… The most distinct feature of a demon cultivator is their own lifebound demon artifact, utterly evil, and you, being a martial cultivator, are unable to condense your own lifebound demon artifact. Without a demon device, it is very difficult to disguise…”

“Brother Ding, may I have a word with you alone?”

“Hmm?”

The two left the Spiritual Food Inn and came to the inn where Yang Shi was staying.

Whoosh~

He dumped out 13 dimly lit demon devices from his bag, including blood copper coins, a soul summoning banner, a blood soul claw, a white bone shield…

“Is Brother Ding referring to these items?”

Ding Zhen’s eyelids twitched violently, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

“Is this what Brother Yang mentioned… the road being fraught with dangers, nearly dying multiple times outside?”

It’s the demon cultivators who are surrounded by dangers, right!

“Hey! They are all inconsequential ones… I was thinking of exchanging these for some spirit stones at the Xuan Stone Sect.”

A martial cultivator and innate master saying… Qi Refinement realm demon cultivators are inconsequential?

Inverted Heavenly Gang!

At that moment, Ding Zhen was convinced that Yang Shi was definitely one of Murong Ziyuan’s people; a freak for a subordinate made perfect sense.

In his case, as an undercover agent, he seemed almost normal.

“In that case… I will perform some disguise techniques on you.”

With so many demon devices, he could disguise Yang Shi as a titan of the demon path; on this journey… none would be more demonic than him.

After spending a total of three hours, Ding Zhen managed to reactivate these demon devices, reviving them, while he himself was quite drained and had to take a Gathering Spirit Pill to replenish his spiritual power.

@@novelbin@@

“Brother Yang, although these demon devices have a nefarious origin… their power is indeed much stronger than regular magic artifacts.”

“After my repairs, I’ve removed the previous owner’s mark. Once you use your blood to claim them, they will keep you safe, but remember… do not reveal them in front of righteous cultivators.”

Yang Shi dripped his blood onto the demon devices, which entered his body one after another.

The vast demonic Qi ran wild through his meridians, but Yang Shi only needed to slightly circulate his Qi Blood, and these were suppressed within minutes.

The dense Qi Blood power of an innate master could suppress demonic Qi.

“This is a demon Qi talisman that I made myself. Just input a small amount of spiritual power… innate True Qi as well, and it will activate the aura of the demon devices within you, hiding all righteous cultivation techniques. Even Foundation Establishment stage practitioners of the demon path would not notice.”

Yang Shi clenched the demon Qi talisman in his hand and input a slight amount of True Qi. His body’s 13 demon devices emitted a dense, bloody demonic Qi. No less than slaughtering tens of thousands would reach this extent!

“Brother Ding truly is a good person! If there is ever a need for Yang Shi’s assistance in the future, I will certainly not refuse.”

With these items arranged, not only would Yang Shi’s hunting of demon cultivators go more smoothly, but he also gained many more life-saving means.

Although he lacked spiritual power to wield the demon devices, their passive protection function could still be triggered!

Want to fight me? You will have to get through these 13 protective demon devices first!

“Hey~ Now I can truly play the real demon path killing game!”

Yang Shi was very pleased within, finally not envious of Ding Zhen anymore.

At the same time, he marveled inwardly: The old ancestor was truly formidable, managing to deceive Ding Zhen with just a few words, gaining such great benefits.

Yang Genshuo also felt a slight pride.

“Murong Ziyuan’s protection is truly too desirable!”

If Bai Heyu considered half of the Yang Family’s support, then Murong Ziyuan, who provided the family with three Thunder Technique talismans each year, accounted for the other half!

Seeing Ding Zhen was about to take his leave.

Yang Genshuo glanced at his character card and a flicker crossed his eyes.

“Hold on, it seems Brother Ding knows Gold Element magic? Can you work with the Golden Spirit Sword Skill?”

“Hmm? I know a bit… what about it?”

“Could you make some Golden Spirit Sword Skill talismans for me as personal defense?”

“Today’s exertion was quite substantial, and though I’m willing, I’m also spent…”

With Yang Shi’s thick face, he might have just bowed and let it be, but the golden characters floated by the heavenly ancestor, making him grit his teeth and continue with the next line:

“Leader Ding, you wouldn’t want the fact that you are an undercover agent of the Xuan Stone Sect to be exposed, would you?”

Ding Zhen: “?”
