"Are you going to die or not?" Luo Jie was starting to lose his temper; these repeated resurrections were giving him psychological trauma.

Junlin coughed lightly, "Ahem, I assure you, this is the last thing."

Luo Jie took a deep breath. "Speak."

"That's right, I forgot to tell you, I can't actually die."

As soon as Jun Lin finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot and then appeared in front of Luo Jie in his full glory.

Luo Jie's eyes widened in shock. What kind of divine power was this?!

Could it be that Junlin is an immortal?

Jun Lin felt a little uncomfortable under Luo Jie's gaze and couldn't help but say, "What's with that expression? I just resurrected a little, didn't I?"

"You...you've been resurrected?"

Junlin made no attempt to hide his feelings, saying, "That's right, otherwise how do you think I could defeat this tree demon? I risked my life for it!"

Luo Jie felt that his worldview had been severely impacted.

So, the explosions he just heard were Junlin self-destructing here? That's too outrageous!

"You're just telling me this like that?"

Luo Jie was somewhat incredulous. If he had such an ability, he would have kept it hidden better than anyone else. How could he possibly tell others?

Jun Lin pressed down on Luo Jie's shoulder and said earnestly, "Of course! Because we're brothers, I believe in you!"

LOL, even if Luo Jie spread the word that he could be resurrected, it wouldn't pose any threat to him.

He even looked forward to Luo Jie doing that, because then he could enjoy the feeling of being hunted down, and the thought of it excited him.

Luo Jie was unaware of Jun Lin's inner thoughts, but at this moment, listening to Jun Lin's words, he was filled with emotion.

"Don't worry, I will absolutely not leak this information!"

The fact that Junlin was willing to share this secret with him shows that he truly considered him a brother he would risk his life for, so he naturally couldn't let Junlin down.

"By the way, didn't you say before that the Demon Heart had side effects? What are they?" Luo Jie suddenly asked.

He hadn't asked many questions before because King's Landing was dying.

But now that we know King's Landing was an act, we need to find out the details about these side effects.

"Oh, it's said that in one's later years, one might be afflicted by something ominous, and then one's whole body will be covered in red hair," Jun Lin explained unhurriedly.

He then pointed to Luo Jie's hair, saying, "Your hair has turned red."

Perhaps because he had just consumed the Demon Heart, Luo Jie's only current state was that his hair had turned red.

As for horns on the head, multiple arms, etc., they haven't appeared yet.

"Contaminated with ominous signs? Covered in red hair?" Luo Jie was startled and quickly plucked out a hair from his head. Sure enough, it was red!

"No way!"

Luo Jie's hands trembled slightly as he imagined himself covered in red hair in his later years.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he immediately cried out with a mournful face, "Brother Jun, you've really put me in a terrible situation!"

Junlin waved his hand dismissively and said, "Hey, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a probability, and it's still a long way off. Whether you can even live to old age is a question."

"That's true." Luo Jie nodded, but then realized something a second later, "Wait, Brother Jun, do you even know how to comfort people?"

"No," Jun Lin said, shrugging. "But what I said is the truth, and you can rest assured that if that day ever comes, you will definitely have a place within my Emperor's Banner!"

Luo Jie's lips twitched. "Then I really thank you."

However... if that day ever comes, joining the Emperor's Banner in King's Landing wouldn't be a bad option.

Junlin patted Luo Jie on the shoulder, "No need to thank me, we're all brothers."

The two talked as they walked out of Huai Village.

Along the way, we saw many villagers whose bodies were pierced by splinters.

The locust tree eventually took action against the villagers, leaving no one alive in the entire village.

As we walked...

King's Landing saw a small body lying quietly on the ground.

It's that little girl from before.

He had already been pierced through the chest by a wooden splinter and had lost his life.

[While it's hot]

"What the hell? You're even more perverted than me!" Jun Lin couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

Luo Jie, standing to the side, was startled by this sudden accusation and was momentarily stunned. "Huh? I didn't do anything?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, I wasn't talking about you," Jun Lin explained, while inwardly condemning the system.

Luo Jie was puzzled, but he saw Jun Lin staring at the little girl on the ground.

He then said, "She has only just died, and her soul has not yet departed. You can take her soul into your Human Emperor Banner, and she can follow the path of ghost cultivation in the future. Although her physical form may not be able to be changed, isn't that what you like?"

Jun Lin looked at Luo Jie with some surprise, "I take back what I just said. I was actually talking about you. Also, I'm not into that kind of thing!"

Luo Jie shrugged, his heart filled with disdain. What's the use of being stubborn? Do you think I don't know whether you like this or not?

Junlin shook his head and said, "Besides, there's no need to do that. Once you enter the Emperor's Banner, you'll never be reincarnated. Her crime doesn't warrant that."

“That’s true, that’s a bit inhumane.” Luo Jie nodded in agreement. Jun Lin, like him, was a demonic cultivator with a conscience.

...

After leaving Huai Village.

The two then embarked on another aimless journey.

Traveling during the day and practicing meditation at night.

More than half a month has passed, and Junlin's cultivation level has also improved to the late stage of the second realm, which is all thanks to taking drugs.

"Where have we come to? Why are there so many people?"
