Chapter 1306: Chapter 1300: The Watchdog
[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, had Ancestor Tianye and numerous subordinates monitor Grandhaven Prefecture for nearly a century, coveting the ‘Dao of Cloud’ that Banshu Weide had accumulated over many years.
He secretly had people relay news of the Banshu family to Jade Mist Valley, causing Banshu Qingping to face assassination at the border of Grandhaven Prefecture.]
[Upon learning that Banshu Weide had allied with the Immortal Infant and the watchdog, he sent messages to Jade Mist Valley and the Martial Academy, leaving Banshu Weide and the watchdog with nowhere to hide.]
[Banshu Weide and the Immortal Infant fell into a desperate situation.]
[Banshu Weide’s fall into despair was entirely within Li Yunbing’s grasp.
After Banshu Weide fell into absolute despair upon seeing Banshu Qingping feed on Grandhaven Prefecture, Li Yunbing seized the vulnerability to take in all the ‘Dao of Cloud’ accumulation from Banshu Weide’s watchdog physique.
After five years, he glimpsed the Dao of Cloud—]
[Breakthrough, Body Integration!]
[The Dao of Cloud: ethereal and formless, coming and going without a trace!]
[With Banshu Qingping’s half-immortal physique and the body of the ‘watchdog’ being heavily tainted by the extreme evil and demonic qi of the cultivators from the Three Prefectures, upon receiving the ‘Dao of Cloud’ imparted by Banshu Weide, your descendant Li Yunbing decided not to resist the evil qi on Banshu Weide’s body!]
Back in the family.
Li Wei awoke in shock from his secluded cultivation.
The information of his descendants in the family continuously refreshed.
The messages from tens of thousands of descendants dazzled his eyes, but his Body Integration realm Spirit Soul allowed him to notice some crucial content.
The words “Breakthrough to Body Integration” caught his eye.
The older generation of children in the family were all striving to seek their Dao paths.
Li Wei never expected that the first to break through to Body Integration in recent years would actually be Yunbing!
[Descendant Li Yunbing, his evil nature is hard to quell.]
…
In the cloudy sky.
Li Yunlin looked at his younger brother’s transformation.
Demonic and evil qi surged to the heavens. Beside his ear, the old cat’s fur stood on end.
Yet, he remained utterly unfazed, only knowing that if the elders found out about this, they would definitely beat the two brothers half to death.
But Li Yunlin remained calm in his heart.
From possessing a Childlike Heart, to becoming the Patriarch, to becoming a regional overlord tangled in conspiracies, and now falling into the demonic path—he had grown accustomed to his younger brother’s changes.
In the first half of his life, he had been away studying and neglected his duties as an elder brother.
He had failed to stop the family from making Yunbing become that damned Patriarch, and he had failed to stop Yunbing from becoming ‘Jiang Chenghuan’.
And even now, he still failed to stop Yunbing from becoming a demon.
“Clatter, clatter…”
Chains covered in seals appeared one after another. Li Yunlin descended from the sky and landed in front of Li Yunbing, staring intently at his face.
“Brother.”
Seeing Li Yunlin land on the ground, Li Yunbing glanced at the seal-covered chains in his brother’s hands.
Suppressing the thirst for flesh and slaughter that came with becoming a demon, he called out softly.
That day, after the watchdog fell into disaster, the plan he had prepared in Grandhaven Prefecture for many years finally took effect.
The events in Grandhaven Prefecture had been full of twists and turns, but no matter what, one thing was inescapable: Banshu Weide was absolutely going to die.
This was his plan. The entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture was a trap for Banshu Weide.
The nine of them, siblings, along with the Demon Lord, had kept their eyes on the bodies of Banshu Weide and the watchdog.
He had also obtained the entirety of Banshu Weide’s inheritance in the man’s despair.
The family’s Tian Xing Array and Zhao Clan Array were enough for him to completely devour everything of Banshu Weide’s.
“Let’s go home first.”
Li Yunlin silently fastened the Spiritual power-sealing chains onto Li Yunbing. Layer upon layer of seals were placed on him.
This process took quite a while before he finally led the completely powerless Li Yunbing onto the clouds, heading in the direction of Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Left behind, kneeling in the darkness at the bottom of the abyss where the battlefield had been, was a skin-and-bones old man.
Banshu Weide.
This expert of the Banshu family, who had allied with the watchdog and ultimately transformed into a half-immortal in his quest to lead the Banshu family back to glory, stared with cloudy eyes at the gradually departing brothers.
In the darkness, he let out a hoarse laugh. “Ha… hahaha!”
A few years ago, when the Li brothers appeared before him during his disaster, he knew everything was over.
However, Banshu Weide actually felt a sense of relief.
In the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture, Banshu Qingping was the ultimate victor.
Now, the descendants of the Banshu family had safely relocated to the Three Prefectures.
With Banshu Qingping around, even if the Banshu family had committed many evil deeds, no one in the Three Prefectures would dare touch their descendants. That was enough.
Even when Li Yunbing, this despicable, utterly inhumane creature, stood before him and threatened him with the lives of the Banshu descendants to force him to hand over everything, he felt absolutely no pressure.
In Li Yunbing, he seemed to see himself.
The conversation between the two Li brothers still echoed in his ears.
“Eldest Brother, what do you plan to do with the watchdog’s corpse?”
“It’s tainted with demonic qi and immortal qi. We have to let Third Uncle destroy it with Heavenly Fire. Yundou and the others can also try and see if it’s of any use.”
“I want to try…”
“Are you crazy?”
“The Demon Lord, Yundou, and the others can protect me. The Blood Moon is coming, and we must seize every single opportunity.
Inside the Blood Moon are Ba Siyu and Min Tiange. I have wanted to kill them for a long time. I am afraid that if I miss this chance, there will never be another.”
“…”
“Hahahaha!”
In the abyss, the sinister, hearty laughter gradually faded away, accompanying the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture as it fell into darkness and was swallowed by the Blood Moon.
Banshu Weide’s aura gradually vanished. His skin-and-bones body exhausted its very last ounce of strength and slumped down.
“The watchdog… I am the watchdog of the Banshu family…”
“The Li Clan’s Yunbing… the watchdog of the Li family.”
Above the Three Prefectures.
Monstrous demonic qi emanated from the chains wrapped around Li Yunbing.
The arrival of a Body Integration realm demon overlord caused experts from all sides to float into the air and peek, watching the Li brothers return home.
Li Yunlin rode the clouds. He had wanted to go a bit faster, but Li Yunbing told his eldest brother to slow down.
This matter couldn’t be hidden anyway, so it was better to let the cultivators of the Three Prefectures know early on, lest there be friendly fire later.
“Even after becoming a demon, your mind is still full of schemes.”
The old cat on Li Yunlin’s shoulder, sensing the prying eyes from all directions, bared its teeth at Li Yunbing.
“You want to set an example for them, to make the cultivators of the Three Prefectures prepare themselves to deal with the immortals!”
“…”
Li Yunlin remained expressionless and continued home.
Li Yunbing revealed a sinister smile toward the old cat, causing its fur to stand on end even more.
This cat was a pure supporter of the Human Race and didn’t like alien races in the slightest.
The Seven Ironclads and the Demon Lord… in its eyes, these people were no different from ghosts.
Their journey disturbed quite a few cultivators.
The Zhangsun family.
Zhangsun Feng and Zhangsun Buhuo floated into the air, their expressions complex as they stared at Li Yunbing heading home.
Zhangsun Buhuo’s mind went blank.
Azure Cloud’s Li Clan’s Li Yunbing—this was the old Li family’s most eligible, top-tier bachelor.
She had already been working on a marriage alliance with the Li Clan, yet upon meeting again, he had become a Body Integration realm demon overlord.
“After becoming a demon overlord, both strength and Spiritual power will experience a substantial leap.”
Zhangsun Feng’s expression was grim.
“The evil thoughts of human nature will erode the flesh and soul. Without sufficient fortuitous encounters, one might even forget everything.
Personality, morals… all of this will change. The person who turned into a demon might still be alive themselves, but to others, it is no different from death.”
Hearing this, Zhangsun Buhuo didn’t dare to think about the marriage alliance anymore.
There were very few demonic cultivators in the world, precisely because of these transformations.
Most of these cultivators had eradicated those who fell into the demonic path; demonic cultivators were greedy, selfish, and bloodthirsty… gathering the ultimate evils of the mortal realm.
“But Ancestor, do we have a choice?” Zhangsun Buhuo looked toward the pale red sky in the distance, a strange glint in her eyes, as she stroked the spatial ring on her finger.
Hidden inside the ring were chunks of the watchdog’s flesh and records of the demon transformation ritual, sent by the Azure Cloud Region’s Ghost Eye Sect two years ago.
Zhangsun Feng remained silent.
…
Clearpeak Prefecture, Xuanyuan Clan.
Inside the Xuanyuan Clan, there were Iron-Eating Beasts and numerous giant bears raised by the clan.
Beside them, many Xuanyuan descendants were practicing array formations in coordination with the demonic beasts raised by the family.
Patriarch Xuanyuan Yuanhua stroked the spatial ring on his hand. Sensing the demonic qi in the cloudy sky, he ordered his disciples to continue practicing the arrays.
Ancestor Xuanyuan Liqun, bare-chested, opened the door to a secret chamber; inside was a scene of wild debauchery, lakes of wine and forests of meat.
At the door stood Old Bear.
One man and one bear watched the Li brothers head toward Azure Cloud Prefecture, clearly already aware that their Southern Frontier had gained an additional Body Integration realm demon overlord.
“The people of the Azure Cloud Li Clan are incredible; they become demons just like that.”
Xuanyuan Liqun slowly put on his clothes.
“No wonder the Li brothers stayed at the place where Banshu Weide died for several years.
To become a demon, making such a hasty decision just like that… Old Bear, isn’t this why the Azure Cloud Li Clan produces such talents? They are ruthless enough.”
Old Bear frowned.
Having been the Xuanyuan family’s guardian divine beast since childhood, just being able to slack off and wait for death was a good thing to him.
Who would have thought that before he had enough of the good days, the immortals would arrive? He bared his teeth.
“The Red Dust Immortal left us immortal methods and array formations, but at the end of the day, one still needs to become an immortal or a demon to fight immortals.”
“Your bloodlines are too weak, not even comparable to the physical and Spiritual power of us demons. Even if you successfully cultivate immortal methods, what will you use to fight immortals?”
Old Bear viciously took a bite of bamboo, then tossed it aside. He suddenly stood up, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression in front of Xuanyuan Liqun.
“What… what are you doing?” Xuanyuan Liqun shrank his neck.
Although he was stronger than Old Bear, the age gap and the childhood memories of being treated as Old Bear’s toy filled him with a sense of dread toward the beast.
He only heard Old Bear bare his teeth and say, “I’m not eating bamboo anymore. I want to eat meat.”
Old Bear walked away, leaving heavy footprints with each step.
The demonic qi in the sky had not dissipated. Xuanyuan Liqun’s expression gradually grew solemn.
The era had changed; Old Bear wanted to eat meat, and humans wanted to become demons.
He opened the secret chamber, ordered the girls used for yin-yang dual cultivation to leave, and closed the door with a fierce expression, leafing through the immortal method ancient texts left by the Red Dust Immortal.
These books of immortal methods were enough to allow him to obtain ancient methods of utilizing Spiritual power, and even undergo bloodline transformations, in a short period.
As long as he cultivated diligently, it wasn’t impossible for him to battle a Heavenly Immortal.
But this was not enough!
“Exactly how many immortals are inside the Blood Moon?”
Xuanyuan Liqun sat dejectedly on the stone bed that had just seen intense passion, feeling a wave of despondency.
That day at Grandhaven Prefecture, nearly all the experts from the Three Prefectures had gathered, yet it took them seven days just to deal with a single watchdog.
“Fuck, having lived for tens of thousands of years, instead of properly acting as a mighty figure at this age, why the hell am I risking my life like others?”
He slowly picked up the ancient text copied from the Red Dust Immortal.
Immortal Invocation Art: Cultivate ancient immortal arts to awaken fallen immortals.
By suppressing the immortals and resisting the greedy desires they instill, one can become a Half-Immortal.
