The Fierce Wolves Gather Again

"Mm!"

The Porcelain Doll shook her head forcefully, sat down on the edge of the bed with a plop, and said dejectedly:

"Immortal Sect disciples are divided into two types: Mountain Masters and World Walkers. It's mainly a difference in cultivation methods. I don't really understand it either. It seems the former have better treatment, as they don't have to wander around everywhere."

She patted her belly pouch, "But you don't have to worry, you can be whatever you want."

"Why?" Lin Shu asked, a little confused.

"Because..." The cub pulled at the corners of her mouth, forcing a resigned smile, "You most likely won't return my Essence Blood, and you're worried about your evil deeds being discovered by others, so you definitely won't let me recruit any other disciples."

Clearly, she had gradually accepted her situation.

"Makes sense."

Lin Shu nodded, showing no intention of refuting.

"I told you, don't listen to that woman talking nonsense. Our Yu Family are Mountain Gods, we have a lot of prestige!" Yu Sheng stood up unsteadily, beginning to encourage the young man.

She genuinely felt he was very fragile now, without even a heart. What if he got scared to death?

Then she would be finished too.

"When we get out, this Immortal Scion will take you to sweep through Yong Province. No matter who left that method in your heart, we'll make them spit out their heart!"

"So can we go out now?" Lin Shu glanced at her indifferently.

"Uh." Yu Sheng deflated like a balloon, slumping back down and swinging her feet without speaking.

Lin Shu withdrew his gaze as he had expected, not feeling disappointed.

Regardless, one thing the Little Chick said was right.

He needed sufficient status to gather more information about the White Wolf phantom.

The Yu Family could temporarily serve as one possible path.

Thinking of this, he looked into the void.

Several prompts flooded his vision.

[Qi Condensation Third Stage. White Bone Soul Burial: Perfect]

[Qi Condensation Fifth Stage. Red Moon Dharma Eye: Perfect]

[Qi Condensation Sixth Stage. Spirit Sparrow Qi-Eating Method: Perfect]

One internal method and two immortal methods, totaling one hundred strands of Spiritual Power, enough to support him in having decent combat power in the Mid Qi Condensation stage.

But the flaws were also obvious. White Bone Soul Burial was high-grade, but it mainly relied on creating illusions to scare people. Red Moon Dharma Eye was even more so; it wasn't a method purely for killing.

"Not hard enough."

Lin Shu murmured to himself. He had discovered that these so-called immortal methods were closely related to Half-Life Immortal, the origin.

For example, the Silver-Eyed White Wolf was perhaps better at influencing others' minds, so the two cultivation methods it passed down almost evolved in that direction.

Forming a complete school of its own.

To delve into other systems, like the saber techniques Liu Zhen used, he would need to find other Immortal Auras.

Moreover, Lin Shu remembered something else.

When feeding the two types of Immortal Aura, prompts about "Condensing Immortal Body" had appeared.

The White Wolf had even explicitly stated that the Evil Immortal was not yet formed.

If he fed it enough and condensed it into an Evil Immortal phantom, would he be able to obtain new methods?

Even controlling the Wolf Soul and making it his own would prevent it from escaping his body.

He realized he still wasn't clear enough about how to use Virtue Coins and Evil Coins.

He could only say that the number of Copper Coins was too small, so he could only ponder it slowly later.

"..."

Lin Shu collected his thoughts and focused his attention on his current situation.

Actually, everything Gu Nanzhi had said could be summarized in a few sentences.

The people in the city had become somewhat frenzied by an unknown fear, and the cultivators of the White Tiger Hall were even worse.

Even though she was the County Lieutenant, it was difficult to deter a group of lunatics who felt their lives were nearing their end.

These people's minds weren't working well, so don't provoke them!

Lin Shu reached out, gently probing his collar, then abruptly pressed it against the emptiness beneath his clothes.

A barely perceptible coldness appeared in his eyes.

The closer they are to death, the more unmanageable they become?

As if anyone's mind was working properly.

The incident on Four Directions Street had indeed caused quite a stir.

The desolate Broken Firewood Courtyard welcomed so many people in one day.

He hadn't expected a third wave.

A taciturn figure stood at the entrance, clad in a green robe, exuding a touch of loneliness.

"Why are you alone today?"

Lin Shu chewed on a steamed bun filled with salted meat. Regardless of the taste, it was at least steamed by Yun Niang's own hands, and it was cleaner.

"He had something to attend to, so I came by myself."

Yan Jin glanced into the courtyard, then turned around. Without further explanation, she said softly, "Let's go, the Hall Master is waiting for you."

With her back to the firewood yard, she quickly hid the unusual glint in her eyes.

No matter how she looked at it, she found it hard to connect the languid young man in the courtyard with the matter she had heard about.

Greedy Wolf took office, and within a day, Liu Zhen was dead, his corpse exposed in the street.

And the yamen had made no move whatsoever until now.

The death of a well-known constable had spread throughout West City, and many had heard the name Greedy Wolf.

Yan Jin knew even more.

After all, this Greedy Wolf had only stepped into Green Willow Alley to guard the Magpie Nest a little over half a month ago.

"Alright."

Lin Shu put down his bun and strode out of the courtyard gate.

He found it quite amusing.

He had seen many people who curried favor with whoever was in power, but he had rarely seen someone change their tune so quickly.

Bai Feng's attitude had gone from initial indifference to enthusiasm after he killed Tian Jingyuan. It had only been two days, and the man didn't even show his face now.

This could only mean that whatever awaited him today was likely not good news.

The two walked onto the long street at a leisurely pace.

It was the Full Fortune Restaurant, just like last time.

The shopkeeper, who had originally stood at the entrance to welcome them, used to bow and scrape to everyone from the Blackwater Gang, his mouth full of auspicious greetings.

But the moment he saw Yan Jin and Lin Shu, his emaciated body seemed to snap like a twig in the wind. He wished he could bow his head to his knees, not daring to breathe.

Previously, there had only been Silk-Pulling Wolf, a fearsome presence. Now, another Greedy Wolf had joined.

Two ruthless individuals were meeting!

Compared to last time, there were at least twenty more Fierce Wolves this time.

They didn't go directly into the private room but stood chatting in the hall.

Upon seeing the two enter, everyone's expression changed.

The most obvious was Yin Ling. He instinctively retreated to the back of the crowd, hiding his somewhat pale face, and quietly shouted along with the others:

"Master Lin is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately buried his head.

Master Mo stood at the front of the crowd. After a moment's hesitation, he still took the initiative to smile and nod at Lin Shu: "You're here."

For some reason, every time he saw this young man.

The thought that he should retire and live out his days grew stronger.

It was thanks to Little Yin that he hadn't reprimanded him last time, otherwise, it would have been difficult to back down today.

"..."

Lin Shu nodded in response.

As if to confirm his earlier guess.

The polite greetings from the crowd were suddenly interrupted by an enraged roar from the private room.

"There's no need to persuade me further!"

"First, the promised infant wasn't delivered, and now you've intercepted my Immortal Medicine."

"Did you bring this starving dog in specifically to bite me?!"
