Chapter 41 Tracking the Demon Soldiers, Blocking the Road
Chapter 41 Tracking the Demon Soldiers, Blocking the Road
Inside the dungeon of the Demon Suppression Army in the prefectural city.
Lin Zhou stood among them and, without much hesitation, chose the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard as the synthesis and advancement path.
The reason is simply that the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard's illusionary form realm can be raised to the late stage of the Core Formation realm.
At the same time, Lin Zhou seemed to understand something: if there is a compatibility between level 1 entries, they can work together to synthesize and advance to level 2 entries.
The synthesized Level 2 entries may also be synthesized into Level 3 entries according to this rule.
However, Lin Zhou has only accumulated one level 2 entry so far, and it may take him quite some time to reach level 3.
"Kid."
"Are you an idiot?"
"What are you standing there for?"
The black-faced ghost ape in the dungeon behind him looked at Lin Zhou, who was standing there in a daze, with some confusion. He raised his hand and patted the stone pillar in front of him, and couldn't help but speak.
However, Lin Zhou, who was standing in front of the dungeon, ignored him.
After waiting for half an hour, Lin Zhou turned and walked out of the dungeon.
As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw the jailer scrutinizing him and then warned him, "You are young and have a long way to go. Remember not to go astray. The Lotus Temple that the ghost ape mentioned has become a forbidden area set up by our Demon Suppression Army."
"The forbidden area contains the ghost servants left behind by that ghost ape. Those ghost servants are extremely troublesome, although we managed to kill a few with talismans."
"But the Lotus Temple still has a constant accumulation of yin energy, and new ghosts may be born at any time."
"As for that ghost servant, unless it is a master of internal energy who can mobilize his energy to cover his entire body, he can only resist it to some extent. The rest of you little guys are just there to deliver food."
The black-armored jailer kindly reminded him.
"Thank you, sir."
After thanking him with clasped hands, Lin Zhou left the dungeon.
After leaving the dungeon.
Lu Ling clasped her hands in a respectful greeting to Lin Zhou as he walked out, but because she was in front of outsiders, she did not address Lin Zhou as "master".
The two then left the demon-suppressing army's camp together.
"Young master, if you wish to join the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, you can now use this Demon-Slaying Merit Token in your hand to obtain a spot in the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect."
"It's not just the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, but also the Eight Extremes Sect."
"As well as the Dan Ding Sect and the Xuan Sha Sect, they can both accept this demon-slaying merit and let the young master join their sect. However, since there aren't many demon-slaying merits, the lowest one can get is to start as a menial disciple."
"Why don't you hunt down a few more demon soldiers, young master? After accumulating more demon-slaying merits, you can directly obtain the status of an outer disciple of a major sect."
"Their outer disciples no longer need to do chores in the sect, and they can even receive a monthly quota of pills from the major sects."
"Furthermore, outer disciples are also supported by menial disciples."
Lu Ling offered her suggestion.
"How many ordinary demon soldiers can be exchanged for one outer disciple spot?"
Lin Zhou asked thoughtfully.
His current trump card is the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard, a late-stage Core Formation Realm cultivator. If he can't smoothly control himself when he transforms into the leopard, it will greatly reduce his combat power.
Therefore, before doing so, one must familiarize oneself with the transformation term and the silver-winged flying leopard that it will transform into.
And this perfectly fits the idea of hunting down demon soldiers to gain demon-slaying merit.
"Replying to your question, young master, they are five ordinary demon soldiers."
"Including the merit plaque in your hand, young master, strictly speaking, six ordinary demon soldiers can be exchanged for a spot as an outer disciple of a major sect."
"However, once these ordinary demon soldiers escape from the Great Wall on the border, they will usually hide, making them very difficult to find."
"Although six heads may not seem like many, they are quite rare for the prefectural city."
"Every year, our Lu family sends out many guest elders and young disciples from the family to train. One of the purposes is to enable them to hunt down more demon soldiers outside."
"Used to exchange for a spot as a disciple in a major sect."
"It is precisely because of this that the demon soldiers in Qingzhou Prefecture are even more deeply hidden."
"It is precisely under such rules that the counties under Qingzhou Prefecture have remained so peaceful. Once demon soldiers show up, there are many martial artists who want to hunt them down."
Lu Ling patiently explained to Lin Zhou.
"I see."
Lin Zhou nodded slowly.
At the same time, the second entry was replaced with a Level 1 tracking entry.
A power that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere hovered in front of Lin Zhou, as if waiting for him to trigger it.
"You can kill any wild ordinary demon soldiers that are within ten kilometers outside Qingzhou Prefecture, or within the prefectural city, and earn demon-slaying merits."
Lin Zhou imposed conditions on this tracking entry.
Instantly, the power of the tracking entries in front of him was activated, and the power that was born out of thin air spread out in an instant, flying into all directions.
Only a few breaths had passed.
A red triangular arrow appeared in front of Lin Zhou, pointing towards the outside of the city.
It seems there are no demon soldiers within the city that meet his requirements; they must be outside the city.
However, the two did not rush to go.
Instead, they went to a restaurant in the city and had a good meal. After eating and drinking their fill, they booked two guest rooms and took a nap to recharge before buying two strong, exotic horses at the horse market.
The identity of the Lu family is very useful; as long as you reveal their identity, the horse trader won't dare to ask for more money.
They had only just turned the corner.
They saw a burly young man with a dark complexion standing in the middle of the street, blocking their way.
"Gao Du, get out of here!"
Lu Ling looked at the young man in front of her, whose face was ashen and who had a scar on his left cheek, and angrily rebuked him.
"Lu Ling!"
"Who's that kid next to you?"
Gao Du stared at Lin Zhou with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
In Gao Du's view, Lu Ling's family elders had already met each other, which meant that the marriage arrangements for the two of them had been decided.
But who knew that after Lu Ling returned, according to the Gao family's informant, Lu Ling entered the city with a young man. At first, they didn't care, but when they heard that Lu Ling and that young man had checked into an inn together last night...
He did not return to the Lu family mansion, which greatly angered Gao Du.
He then made an excuse to leave the mansion, wanting Lu Ling to explain herself. After all, although neither of them was particularly interested in their relationship, it had been decided by their elders.
They had no power to resist and could only obey orders.
Therefore, Gao Du was furious after learning about Lu Ling's matter. If the other clansmen found out, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
Before he lost face, he was going to kill that brat next to Lu Ling to prevent future trouble!
