Why Was It So Familiar?

In a small forest on the eastern outskirts of the White Emperor City Palace, feudal lords have been releasing Divine Sense, which have traveled to a small cave.

As for the lords themselves, they were already on their way back to their residences.

After all, it's always better to be careful when attending such a gathering. Wu Su Su is no good demon, and in some ways, she's even more terrifying than Bai Jiu Yi.

After confirming that no one was around, they grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them towards the cave.

The pebble fell into the cave without any hindrance, as if the cave were nothing special.

However, when they took out the round bead, which had just been pulled from the chrysanthemum and still carried a faint scent, and threw it into the cave, it was as if the small bead pierced through a thin membrane.

The environment inside the cave changed in the next moment.

After the feudal lords went inside, they discovered that the cave was actually Secluded Paradise.

One of the dark-striped pythons seemed to find the magic array quite interesting, and it went in and out of the cave as if having a great time.

After all the feudal lords entered, they continued forward, only to find themselves in complete darkness, as if all light had been absorbed.

"Ta-da..."

Just as all the feudal lords were marveling at just how deep the cave was, a strange sound rang out.

In an instant, a bright light blinded all the feudal lords. When they recovered by using their Spiritual Power, there was an ice throne in the middle of the cave.

Seated on the throne was a man dressed in a Confucian blue robe.

The man wore a jade pendant at his waist, and a long, translucent sword stood at his side. His arrogant, chin-resting posture was incredibly irritating...

He's also damn handsome!

"Fellow Daoists, greetings! We meet again."

Standing up, Jiang Lin flicked his bangs, spread his arms, and grinned mischievously, looking just like a villain.

"Since you are all here today, it means you intend to join forces with my Demon Race World to plot against the White Empire!"

The dark Snake Demon stood up and then transformed into an old Daoist priest in human form:

"You brat! Although you're one of Wu Su Su's people, we also know that Wu Su Su once invited Bai Jiu Yi to join her in a grand scheme!"

How can you guarantee you weren't sent by Bai Jiu Yi and Wu Su Su to kill us?

Looking at the old Daoist priest's dark python, Jiang Lin thought that soaking its gall bladder in Yellow Wine would definitely be good for his kidneys...

"This senior is right. My master, Wu Su Su, is indeed cunning and treacherous. She has betrayed her allies and engaged in Dog Eat Dog with us Demon Race World quite a few times."

However, I can assure you all that this time I will stand on the same side as you!

With his hands behind his back, Jiang Lin straightened his sleeves (and wiped them with onion juice), and sighed heavily:

"Ten years ago, when Bai Jiu Yi was injured by my master Wu Su Su and ended up in the Wutong Continent, I saved her. I never expected that I was so handsome that she secretly fell in love with me."

Yes, Bai Jiu Yi indeed beautiful! Those fluffy ears, and that tail... cough cough cough...

Jiang Lin wiped the drool from his mouth, straightened his expression, and continued.

"In short, although Bai Jiu Yi as beautiful as Heavenly Immortal, I, Jiang Lin, already have someone I love, my Childhood Sweetheart who lives next door. She is a girl from our village named Xiao Fang."

She is beautiful and kind.

She had a pair of beautiful big eyes and thick, long braids.

Every evening before sunset, she and I would come to that little river.

Before he knew it, Jiang Lin's eyes welled up with tears (and then he added some onions).

"So, even if Bai Jiu Yi tried every trick in the book to seduce and tempt me, am I, Jiang Lin, the kind of person who would betray my Childhood Sweetheart? Does the Childhood Sweetheart type always have to be beaten down by the newcomer type?"

When will my Childhood Sweetheart group finally get a chance to shine?!

So, in the end, I rejected Bai Jiu Yi.

But what I didn't expect was that Bai Jiu Yi, in order to win my heart, actually... gave Xiao Fang...

As Jiang Lin spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down his face (this onion is so incredibly spicy...).

"I wanted to avenge Xiao Fang, but Bai Jiu Yi was just too powerful."

Fortunately, my master Wu Su Su, found me!

To avenge Xiao Fang, I sold my soul to Wu Su Su.

Finally, I infiltrated the Sun Moon Sect, deliberately attracted Bai Jiu Yi's attention, and then deliberately let her capture me and take me to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.

Don't be fooled by how happy I seemed at the Engagement Banquet, and how she behaved like a little kitten around me. In reality, this is all thanks to how much I've doted on her these past few days!

At first I struggled incessantly, then I showed compliance, which finally lowered her guard. With my patient and humiliating infiltration, you are finally able to gather with everyone tonight to plan our great cause!

We've played such a big game!

It's time to wrap this up!

Ladies and gentlemen! Haven't you suffered enough oppression at the Bai Jiu Yi? Aren't you all envious of Bai Jiu Yi and those white foxes in the palace? Don't you want to seize all the treasures and riches of the White Empire?

At this moment, I am an inside agent in the White Emperor City Imperial Palace!

Bai Jiu Yi still injured from her Falling Realm! I know a little about medicine, and I guarantee that she will not recover for at least three years!

Such a golden opportunity!

If not now, when?

Are you going to be cowards for life, or true men for the duration of a cup of tea?

"I know you all still doubt me, thinking I might betray you! So!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Lin raised his left hand, and a Jiang Lin Heart appeared above his head.

"I, Jiang Lin, swear by the Great Dao that this time I will make Bai Jiu Yi pay a bloody price! I will live and die with you all! Otherwise, may my life be struck by lightning and I die a swift death!"

Once the vow is instilled into one's Dao heart, as long as one has not yet ascended to Ascension, one will inevitably be bound by the Great Dao and unable to break free!

Meanwhile, Jiang Lin's lofty aspirations echoed through the cave, both tragic and desolate! A faint light shone on his face.

The next moment, all the feudal lords were moved to tears, and some even swore oaths.

The message roughly stated, "Let's attack White Emperor City together, we'll never be traitors, and we'll divide the spoils afterward."

Jiang Lin then swore an oath of blood with the other feudal lords.

Although a blood oath has little binding force, life is about having a sense of ritual. Besides, Jiang Lin added a little poison to his blood.

This poison is colorless and odorless. It was developed by a guy named Bi You Du from the Sun Moon Sect. Not to mention the Jade Purity Realm, even the Immortal Realm wouldn't be able to detect it unless you're in the right field.

Of course, it definitely won't kill him with poison, but what if it's foreshadowing something?

Watching them drink the blood from their cups, Jiang Lin inwardly chuckled.

Just as Jiang Lin was about to see them off, still envisioning the bright future after conquering White Emperor City, a sword aura struck the cave from the sky, causing the earth to tremble...

And why does this wisp of sword energy feel so familiar?
