Chapter 158: Follower

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly attacked by the Yin Corpse Sect cultivator, the red-armored Demon-Extermination Guard's pupils constricted.

"You want to ask why I didn't chase that kid?"

"Since I have already fully performed Heavenly Corpse Transformation, naturally I can't let you benefit in the end."

"After this battle, my cultivation will probably fall to Foundation Establishment. However, if I can obtain a Golden Core corpse puppet, it won't be too much of a loss. With my aptitude, I was originally hopeless to reach Nascent Soul."

"With a Golden Core corpse puppet, I can condense a top-grade corpse pill to achieve a False Core, and it won't have much impact."

The Yin Corpse Sect cultivator said coldly: "That kid ran away quite fast. The control right of these Five Elements Corpse Puppets has returned. It is just right to use them to deal with you first."

"You don't have to worry. My Heavenly Corpse Transformation can still be maintained for a period of time. After solving you, I will find him and kill him, and keep a good reputation for you."

After his strength greatly increased, the first thing the Yin Corpse Sect Helmsman did was to sneak attack the red-armored Demon-Extermination Guard. Seeing this, Demon Pine couldn't help but comment: "This Yin Corpse Sect kid is still more like it. That Demon-Extermination Guard actually relaxed his vigilance in front of a demonic cultivator. It's really stupid."

"Kid, is this also in your plan?"

"It's just a guess that there is such a possibility, so I tried to return the control right of the Five Elements Corpse Puppets, to increase some combat power for him. Unlike ordinary cultivators, Yin Corpse Sect cultivators master the Corpse Pill Technique. Even if they fall to Foundation Establishment, they can condense a False Core, and they can turn the enemy themselves into corpse puppets to enhance their strength."

"When his strength greatly increased, the possibility of not letting this Demon-Extermination Guard go is very high."

"However, the best situation should be that this red-armored Demon-Extermination Guard reacted for the first time, realized that the Yin Corpse Sect cultivator would attack him first, and both sides were defeated. Unfortunately, he didn't react and thought that the enemy of both sides was still me."

"Fortunately, this situation is also much easier now. As long as this guy's divine ability expires... I can make a move to solve him."

"Even, even if I leave now, he has already suffered the Ice Soul Gu's Gu poison and won't live long." Lin Jing's eyes flickered.

Just like Senior Brother Ouyang encountered the Ice Soul Gu poison back then, no one could save him.

The mental communication between Shen Song and Lin Jing was not heard by the twins dragged by the Pine-Leaf Rat.

The two were still terrified now. Although they were out of the hands of the Yin Corpse Sect, falling into the hands of a suspected Gu God Sect demonic cultivator, it seemed that the ending was not much better.

"Senior, since he has no way to live, Senior, make a move to solve him."

"Why wait for yourself to solve it? You haven't killed anyone yet!"

"That red-armored Demon-Extermination Guard dies, I guess the Demon-Extermination Division branch he belongs to will know immediately. I think it should not be just him who is in collusion with this demonic sect. Compared to wasting time on this Yin Corpse Sect cultivator, perhaps it should be..."

"Then the spoils of war are mine." Shen Song sighed, feeling that two early-stage Golden Cores were too weak for Lin Jing to practice.

Lin Jing:???

Pfft!

Suddenly, the chest of the Yin Corpse Sect Helmsman who was preparing to look for Lin Jing was pierced by a pine tree branch. This demonic sect Helmsman's eyes appeared with a trace of blood, and he suddenly understood that he had been checkmated from the beginning.

At the same time, with the two Golden Cores dead, Lin Jing took out a jade talisman.

Although he had several Demon-Extermination Division tokens on him, only this jade talisman had the effect of contact.

Gao Sheng sent it, but couldn't contact his Soul Transformation grandfather.

The Senior Tong Zi Xian sent it, even more impossible to contact this Ancestor Kong Xuan old monster.

Only the jade talisman sent by the Lingyue Sword Immortal Feng Ning could contact this Demon-Extermination Division part-time Heaven's Pride.

Although the Lingyue Sword Immortal was only at the Golden Core cultivation level, she was a disciple of the Ancestor Kong Xuan Sword Ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Even if Gao Sheng saw her, he had to kneel and call her sister. In the Demon-Extermination Division, she must also have considerable say.

Instead of making a move himself, Lin Jing felt it was better to notify the inside.

Lin Jing activated the jade slip, and the next moment, a familiar voice appeared in his mind.

"Lin Jing?"

"You finally activated this jade slip. Have you changed your mind and decided to join the Demon-Extermination Division?" On the other side, the voice of the Lingyue Sword Immortal came out: "I heard that you also entered the Heaven's Pride Ranking, congratulations."

"Immortal, I have already joined the Demon-Extermination Division under the invitation of Senior Senior Tong Zi Xian."

Opposite, the Lingyue Sword Immortal made a surprised sound, "Senior Senior Tong Zi Xian actually went to invite you in person."

Lin Jing briefly talked about the cause and effect of his joining the Demon-Extermination Division, and led to the incident of the Demon-Extermination Division branch leader colluding with the demonic sect. After listening, the Lingyue Sword Immortal's tone became cold.

"You did very well. This might not be a problem with just one Demon-Slaying Division branch, but rather that many Demon-Slaying Division branches in a large area have developed rot. I will contact my friends in the Demon-Slaying Division in the Void Region to handle this matter."

"It might be very troublesome for you to handle it alone."

"That's fine." Lin Jing nodded.

"However, you were actually able to deal with two Golden Cores. Qi Condensation fighting a Golden Core—if this gets out, the Ancient Kingdom will be shaken."

Lin Jing shook his head: "It's just the power of the Ice Soul Gu. Fairy, you wouldn't think that I could accomplish these things relying solely on my own Qi Condensation cultivation, would you?"

The Lingyue Sword Immortal also said: "I naturally know that the combat power of a Beast-Controlling cultivator depends on the beast they control, but not everyone knows you have the Ice Soul Gu. Moreover, most ignorant people will not pay attention to whether you are a Beast-Controlling cultivator, whether you have helpers with higher cultivation, or whether you borrowed external force. As long as you yourself are at the Qi Condensation stage, you can reap prestige with the gimmick of 'Qi Condensation fighting a Golden Core'."

"I know a few fellow Daoists who graduated from the Hidden Dragon Academy. The rumors about them are no less impressive than 'Qi Condensation fighting a Golden Core,' but no matter how outrageous they are, there will always be people who believe them. However, it is also thanks to these people that the existence of the secret art of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique can be supported."

"That's true." Lin Jing did not deny it. Indeed, if there were too many smart people, it would be difficult for some ordinary academy students to practice the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique by taking things out of context.

It was a pity he didn't have Bai Yuran from the Heavenly Mystery Tower by his side; otherwise, he would have let her write the news. Only then did Lin Jing realize how important it was to have a disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Tower by his side.

A moment later, Lin Jing and Feng Ning ended their exchange. The Lingyue Sword Immortal wanted to entrust the investigation of the Demon-Slaying Division's internal affairs to a friend, and Lin Jing stopped worrying about it. This kind of collusion between black and white definitely existed in more than just the Void Region. It seemed that in the future, he would have to be more cautious regarding the Ancient Kingdom's official cultivators to avoid being sold out.

"You two..." Lin Jing's gaze finally returned to the two twins, and he said: "Introduce yourselves."

"How were you caught by the Yinshi Sect, and what special constitution do you have?"

Seeing that the Demon-Slaying Division Gu cultivator, who had been calm for a long time, finally spoke, the two twins were covered in cold sweat. The boy was more silent and seemed terrified, but the girl still had the courage to speak: "Re—returning to Senior."

"The two juniors are disciples of the Jiang family in Tianshui City. We have the twin constitution and were abducted by the Yinshi Sect while out."

"Twin constitution?" Lin Jing was startled. Shen Song transmitted his voice: "Twin constitution, this constitution is very rare and has many ways to be played. Kid, do a good deed to the end. Give them a stroke of fortune and take them as human pets. As a dignified Holy Son, the followers by your side can't all be animal companions, right?"
