Chapter 109 The Cunning Fox Demon is Imprisoned by the Pure-Hearted Taoist Priest (23 chapters)
"I'm telling you, you two have really gone too far. This isn't a no-man's-land," Lin Muhan said with a dark face.
Every time he sees those two being all lovey-dovey, he feels heartbroken.
"No wonder you said you weren't interested when I offered to help you get the treasure during our previous deal. I never imagined there was no real treasure at all; it was all a setup by you."
"But... I'm very curious, Yu Sheng, what exactly are you trying to achieve by setting up this scheme? By bringing in all the major sects and the demon race, do you want them to fight each other?"
"But you shouldn't be a bloodthirsty person, so I'm very curious about your purpose?"
Faced with Lin Muhan's questioning, Yu Sheng smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we get there."
"It's best to keep it a secret until then."
Lin Muhan carefully considered Yu Sheng's words and his intuition told him that this matter was probably related to Yun Heng.
Or perhaps it has something to do with the Star and Moon View.
Before Lin Muhan could finish speaking, Yu Sheng gave him a warning glare.
Yu Sheng's attitude confirmed his thoughts.
"Why are you asking so many questions? The agreement to cooperate with you will stand, don't worry."
"Let's hurry in too, or we'll miss out on the excitement."
Yu Sheng led Yun Heng ahead, with Lin Muhan following closely behind.
For a moment, all three of them fell silent.
After navigating through layers of maze, the three arrived at an underground stone gate. Yu Sheng activated a mechanism, and the gate opened, revealing a seemingly bottomless staircase below.
The three of them climbed the steps and walked for a long time before finally seeing a glimmer of light.
Upon reaching the exit, they discovered a massive altar.
People from several sects were standing around, including two demon kings from the demon race.
Lin Muhan saw Yan Anhuai and his restless master in the crowd from afar, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Upon seeing the commotion, the people at the altar all watched the three of them warily.
Seeing that the three people had no signs of injury, they became even more vigilant.
They were all injured to varying degrees, some more seriously, some less so, but compared to Yu Sheng and his two companions on the other side, they were utterly disheveled.
Lin Mingji was seriously injured. First of all, he was foul-mouthed and unlucky. Of all the paths available, he chose the most difficult one and strangely ended up in the ranks of various sects.
Then, unsurprisingly, they were ganged up on.
Then, by sheer bad luck, he ran into Jin Shuo again, and remembering how Jin Shuo had tried to harm him, he got into a fight with Jin Shuo.
He was the one who lost, of course.
So, he was the worst off among the group, his clothes were almost tattered, and anyone who didn't know better would think he had crawled out of a garbage dump!
Upon seeing Yu Sheng and the other two enter unharmed, Lin Mingji completely broke down.
"Yu Sheng, why are you all alright?!"
"And who's that guy dressed all in black? Is he too ashamed to show his face?"
He can't afford to offend Yu Sheng and Yun Heng, but how could he not afford to offend a cowardly coward?
Hearing his words, Lin Muhan chuckled.
He raised his hand and removed the hood from his head and the mask from his face, revealing a face that bore a resemblance to Lin Mingji.
But that face was clearly superior to Lin Mingji's.
After seeing the face clearly, Lin Mingji took two steps back. If his subordinate hadn't helped him up, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
He pointed at Lin Muhan's face with a look of horror.
He's back.
Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he would dream that Lin Muhan would come to take revenge on him. He had been terrified for many years, but he never expected that this day would actually come.
"Lin Muhan, I knew you weren't dead!" Lin Mingji stared intently at his face, his eyes turning into scarlet vertical pupils, his resentful gaze filled with a hatred that seemed to want to devour Lin Muhan.
Lin Muhan slowly walked up the steps towards Lin Mingji, twirling a dagger in his hand, his voice chilling, "My dear brother... have you missed me?"
Lin Muhan leaned forward, the dagger pressed against Lin Mingji's face. "Brother, I miss you every single moment."
"I miss you... Go to hell..."
"Lin Muhan! You!"
Lin Mingji took a big step back, seemingly very afraid of him.
"What are you afraid of, little brother? Aren't you always been incredibly bold? You were able to use despicable means to seriously injure me, so why are you retreating so often now?"
"What, are you scared?"
Lin Mingji collapsed to the ground.
Staring into those golden, vertical pupils, Lin Mingji grabbed Lin Muhan's sleeve. "Brother, brother, I know I was wrong. I'll give you back the Demon King's title, please let me go?"
"I promise, I promise I'll behave myself from now on, brother..."
Before Lin Mingji could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked down at his chest and saw a hand piercing through it.
Lin Muhan took her hand out of his chest, holding a still-beating heart in her hand. With a forceful squeeze, the heart instantly turned into a pile of minced meat.
Lin Mingji then realized what had happened, his eyes wide open, seemingly not understanding why he had died like this.
"Tsk, I thought you were capable, but you're getting dumber and dumber. I should have known better than to cooperate with that person. I've just incurred a favor for nothing."
There was a deathly silence all around.
Lin Muhan wiped his hands clean with disgust. He noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned around and met Yan Anhuai's shocked expression with his mouth agape.
He just found it somewhat amusing.
But the next moment, he saw Yan Anhuai's face suddenly turn pale, and when she met his gaze, her eyes were filled with unconcealed terror.
His heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, the way he killed Lin Mingji just now seems to have frightened An Huai.
Does An Huai think he's some kind of ruthless villain?
Lin Muhan felt uneasy. He wanted to explain to Yan Anhuai, but he also knew that now was not the right time.
With so many people from various sects present, it would certainly not be good for An Huai to know that he knew him.
Lin Muhan had no choice but to suppress his urge to explain and returned to Yu Sheng and Yun Heng's side.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be Mu Han. No wonder your figure seemed familiar before. And Xiao Ji, how could he secretly harm his older brother who was so good to him!"
Jin Shuo sighed, but there was schadenfreude in his eyes.
Alas, that idiot Lin Mingji is finally dead.
However... I didn't expect Lin Muhan to still be alive, and it seems he's even cooperating with Yu Sheng. It looks like the annexation of the snake clan will have to be put on hold for now.
Lin Muhan snorted coldly, "Jin Shuo, how dare you talk about that idiot? Didn't you also kill your father to seize the title of Demon King?"
"You're no good yourselves, so don't judge others. After all, it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black; you two are equally bad..."
Jin Shuo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
