Chapter 432
The one facing Zhang Sanfeng was an extremely strange beauty.
On the Water God Ancestor's side, however, was a strange monk whose head was wrapped in white cloth.
"The Demon Lord has come with no ill intent; I urge you all not to seek death."
The arrivals were precisely the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and her two companions; the one who spoke was the Hand of Death, Black Pupil!
"Tell me—are you Lin Shiyin?"
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen paid no attention to the commotion here, merely fixing her gaze steadily on Lin Shiyin.
"I…"
Lin Shiyin was shaken by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's overwhelming aura until her whole body trembled, and she could only clutch Li Xunhuan desperately.
"This one…"
"I am the Hall Master of the First Month Hall of the Qinglong Society, Little Li's Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan. This is indeed my cousin Lin Shiyin. May I ask what business you have with us?"
Li Xunhuan could see the terrifying strength of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, though there was still a gap compared with Ximen Wudi.
But he vaguely felt that even the Two-Dragon Head after his breakthrough would fall short of this white-clad woman.
Therefore, although he had invoked the name of the Qinglong Society, his tone was still polite.
"Oh! Very well then! Where is your Unchanging Heart Pill?"
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen had come precisely to take revenge on the God of Immortality; she cared nothing for anything else.
"It was destroyed…"
Li Xunhuan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"Destroyed? Good riddance if it's destroyed!"
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's aura flared for an instant, then was immediately withdrawn.
She had originally been a kind-hearted woman; wanting the Unchanging Heart Pill was only to deal with the God of Immortality.
Now that it was destroyed, it didn't matter.
She would simply return to the Wooden Man Alley within Yunzhou Shaolin Temple and continue comprehending the Six Great Demon-Deliverances!
Just as she was about to leave, Black Pupil unexpectedly spoke up,
"Demon Lord, something's off."
"Mm?"
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen glanced at Black Pupil in puzzlement.
"Why does this Lin Shiyin carry the aura of the 'Sea-Hidden Anomaly'?"
Black Pupil flashed to Lin Shiyin's side, nearly pressing his body against hers.
267—The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen Loses Her Composure!
"What are you doing?"
Li Xunhuan was about to shout her down.
Black Pupil suddenly sprang back, stood upright, and nodded to the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen,
"Demon Lord, there's no mistake. This aura of the 'Sea-Hidden Anomaly'—even if it turned to ash, I would still recognize it!"
"Indeed, there is the 'Sea-Hidden Anomaly.'"
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen raised a slender hand lightly, and a ball of black energy shot straight at Lin Shiyin.
Li Xunhuan thought she meant harm to Lin Shiyin and immediately tried to shield her.
But though he wanted to move, he found that at some unknown point he could no longer move even a single finger.
He could only watch helplessly as the ball of black energy pounced onto Lin Shiyin's body.
The black energy instantly enveloped Lin Shiyin; before long, when the black energy dispersed—
Where Lin Shiyin had stood, what remained was no Lin Shiyin at all.
There was only another beauty—one who, at a single glance, would make any man's blood surge.
Only she was, in every way, not Lin Shiyin!
"Are you… Lin Xian?"
Li Xunhuan happened to know her!
"I didn't expect to be seen through after all."
This woman was precisely the top star of the Deyue Tower, the beauty who had captivated countless men—the Great Ming's number one beauty, Lin Xian.
"Why is it you? Where is Shiyin?"
Li Xunhuan was somewhat thrown into disarray; he had clearly gone to rescue Lin Shiyin, so how had he brought Lin Xian out instead?
"It seems you are not Lin Shiyin."
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen smiled, in a tone that brooked no argument,
"Tell me where Lin Shiyin and that Unchanging Heart Pill are, and I can pardon your deception just now."
The price of deceiving the Demon Lord is steep!
But since this Lin Shiyin was Lin Xian in disguise, where was the real Lin Shiyin?
Did the Unchanging Heart Pill still exist?
"You'd better not—"
Lin Xian still tried to talk tough.
But the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen gave her no chance; another wave of black energy pounced over and directly enveloped Lin Xian.
A moment later, the black energy dissipated, and Lin Xian had become a withered corpse, collapsing into the dust.
"So there is still a successor of the 'Sea-Hidden Anomaly' in the world. Black Pupil, do you want to kill this successor?"
The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen smiled, preparing to take Black Pupil and Xue Damo and leave.
"Wait! Are you the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen?"
From start to finish, Demon Lord Bai Suzhen never revealed her identity, yet Jiang Yuyan still recognized her from Ximen Wudi's usual gossip and chatter.
"There is actually still someone in this world who knows me?"
Demon Lord Bai Suzhen turned her head and looked at Jiang Yuyan,
"I am Demon Lord Bai Suzhen. Does this little Miss want to know the whereabouts of the real Lin Shiyin, and the Unchanging Heart Pill?"
"Exactly!"
This time, Jiang Yuyan and Zhang Sanfeng coming down the mountain — their most important goal was to destroy the Unchanging Heart Pill.
Anything that could threaten Ximen Wudi absolutely must not be allowed to exist!
Earlier, Sister Azhu had disguised herself as Ximen Wudi, making everyone believe the Unchanging Heart Pill had already been destroyed.
But now, since Lin Shiyin is fake, clearly the pill just destroyed was also fake!
"Why should I tell you?"
Demon Lord Bai Suzhen gave a cold, fierce smile,
"Moreover, Lin Shiyin and the 'Unchanging Heart Pill' are things I must obtain."
Since the target was still there, Demon Lord Bai Suzhen had no reason to give up.
"How about this! I have a piece of information — shall we exchange?"
"Oh? Interesting!"
Demon Lord Bai Suzhen did not refuse upon hearing this,
"But what information do you think you have that would be worth tempting me?"
As an immortal being on par with the God of Immortality, as one of the very top strongest experts of the Nine Provinces' Wu Lin,
what news under heaven could possibly tempt Demon Lord Bai Suzhen?
"This piece of information is very shocking for you. I only heard my master mention it in passing."
Jiang Yuyan stepped forward, leaned right up to Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's ear, and slowly whispered a secret.
"What? Is what you're saying true?"
Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, who normally remained unmoved by anything, suddenly trembled all over.
The black mist clinging to her side churned violently.
Black Pupil and Xue Damo, who understood her best, exchanged stunned glances.
What matter could make Demon Lord Bai Suzhen so agitated?
"This is what my master said. Whether it's true or not, I don't know either."
Jiang Yuyan paid no heed at all to Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's loss of composure — she simply spread her hands, looking utterly unwilling to vouch for the information.
