Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 177 Once there's one, there's bound to be two.

She Jinxing was genuinely worried about Shang Lin's safety. Even though he didn't know about Shang Lin's "Tang Monk flesh" constitution, he could guess most of it just by looking at the scorpion's bloodthirsty behavior.

At least we can confirm that their sect leader's blood is attractive not only to Green Demon, but also to other demons. Wouldn't that make the sect leader even more dangerous?

However, in response to She Jinxing's concerns, Shang Lin pointed at the Red Scorpion and said, "Didn't I just take on a new servant? Besides, what danger could there be between me and Situ Pojun?"

Red Scorpion hurriedly said, "I'm injured too. And I won't protect you."

Shang Lin chuckled at him, "The contract I use on you is different from the one on Little Snake and the others. In today's terms, it's an enhanced version. You have no choice."

Red Scorpion clenched his fist, his eyes bloodshot, when a medicine bottle flew over. He instinctively reached out and caught it, only to see the boy say, "Your medicine."

Red Scorpion held the small medicine bottle in his hand, stunned for a long time, and even asked Shang Lin in disbelief, "I have one too?!"

Shang Lin smiled, "Of course, you are my servant now, so naturally I will protect you. Alright, you all should rest and recover. I'm going out now."

After saying that, he turned to Red Scorpion with concern and said seriously, "If you dare to do anything to harm your fellow disciples in the Dragon Spirit Tower, I will not only dig out your inner core, but I will also dismantle you joint by joint into pieces and make the most of you."

Shang Lin's imposing aura inexplicably made Chi Xie's heart tremble. She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi were also startled; they had never seen their sect leader look so fierce before. Moreover, they firmly believed that their sect leader would keep his word, and they all looked at Chi Xie with a bit of sympathy.

Red Scorpion was bewildered by the look, and the Divine Lord added in a gentle tone, "You're new here and don't know, but Shang Lin is a man who always seems to be smiling and gentle and harmless. He actually has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and is much more cunning. You'd better not cross his bottom line. Of course, as long as you don't cross his bottom line, he will treat you with the same sincerity."

Shang Lin didn't hear the Divine Lord's words because he left the tower as soon as he threatened Red Scorpion. As soon as he came out, Situ Pojun immediately stepped forward and asked with great concern, "What happened? Why are you and She Jinxing gone? And why are you alone? Where is She Jinxing?"

"Well, something suddenly came up that I need to take care of, so She Jinxing will head back now."

Shang Lin's expression and tone were the same as usual, but Situ Pojun looked him up and down before saying, "Do you want to change your clothes? You look a bit disheveled like this."

Shang Lin then looked down at himself and realized that his clothes had been torn in several places. His pants were in slightly better condition, but they were still damaged. The little scorpion was really something; it even tore his magic robe.

However, if it weren't for this robe, I'm afraid I would have several more cuts on my body. Could it be that the magic circle is sealing a little scorpion? I don't know, but he must have been attracted by my "fragrance," which is a bit of a headache.

Sure enough, once there's one, there's bound to be two. The ape was the first, the red scorpion was the second, so what's next... Ugh, just thinking about it gives me a headache. The next second, I heard Situ Pojun say, "What are you daydreaming about? Don't you have any clothes to change into?"

Shang Lin subconsciously replied, "Yes, I'll change it right away."

Fortunately, he brought a change of clothes with him when he left home because he couldn't be sure how many days he would need. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have any clothes to change into. This is a disaster area, where would he have gone to buy clothes?

Shang Lin had just changed his clothes when Mo Ce arrived and said directly, "Pack up, we'll go back after breakfast."

Only after saying that did he realize, "Where's the other person?"

Shang Lin hurriedly said, "He had something come up and left last night."

"Gone?" Mo Ce asked instinctively. "How did he leave?"

Shang Lin smiled and replied dismissively, "He has his own methods. Let's go eat."

Mo Ce felt a tiny bit of envy when he thought about how they could defy gravity, so running or even flying on swords wouldn't be so bad, right?

After breakfast, Shang Lin and the others returned along the same route. He had been up all night, so no matter what mode of transportation they took, he just slept and didn't give anyone a chance to build connections.

Situ Pojun knew that Shang Lin was hiding something important, especially since She Jinxing wasn't by his side, and he looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

But when I came back last night, Shang Lin and She Jinxing were no longer in the tent. I even looked around quietly, but I couldn't find them.

Thinking that he could think of another way when it got light, as for making a phone call, heh, that was unrealistic, so he didn't make one. But before it was even light, Shang Lin suddenly appeared.

As soon as the plane landed, Shang Lin rode back to the city in Situ Pojun's car. He was still asleep on the way, as if he could never wake up.

Situ Pojun was a little puzzled. Was he just exhausted? Was he also injured? He subconsciously reached out to check Shang Lin's pulse, but before his hand could even touch him, the man opened his eyes first.

A glint seemed to flash in his dark eyes, and the next second he started yawning again, asking in a sleepy, nasal voice, "What's wrong? Am I home yet?"

Situ Pojun said bluntly, "We just arrived in the city, but what were you doing last night? You look so exhausted. Were you injured?"

Shang Lin thought for a moment, realizing that losing blood was also a form of injury, and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest and good food and sleep."

Situ Pojun pressed on, "So what exactly did you go about?"

Shang Lin rubbed his slightly dizzy head. "I've accidentally taken on another disciple. I might need your help getting an ID card again soon."

Shang Lin spoke casually, but Situ Pojun was taken aback and subconsciously said, "How come you always seem to encounter good things? I've never run into any of our office staff by accident."

Shang Lin chuckled, "Isn't Lan Xuan one? Isn't Shang Jing one?"

Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin and said, "Don't you know how Lan Xuan came to our office? As for Shang Jing, I think he was probably attracted by you too."

Regarding Shang Jing's question, Shang Lin hadn't really thought much about it. Now that he thought about it, his home was in the capital, and the place where he received treatment should also be in the capital. But after he died, he came to City C. Could it really be that he was attracted here by himself, or by the original owner of this body?

Regardless of the reason, Shang Lin didn't care, only saying, "The process isn't important, the result is. They're practically all-rounders in your office, aren't they? Otherwise, how could your office make so much money every day?"

Situ Pojun, "..."
