Yinshan Record

Chapter 262 East Sea Ghost Tiger
As the blade sliced ​​through, a corpse lay sprawled out. The Daoist energy that had pierced through the body to slice He Wuji's father's flesh inch by inch, like the cruel torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death, with pieces of flesh sliding off the skeleton.

The air was filled with the wild laughter of demons.

The tiger demon's voice echoed throughout this world, and the wild laughter of demons resounded in the air.

"What a disciple of White Deer Cave! He talks about benevolence, filial piety, and propriety, but he's actually a beast who killed his own father."

Dark shadows swept across the sky, and thick clouds covered the heavens. Demons and monsters roamed the mountains and fields, shouting and cursing incessantly.

"What a filial son! He actually cut his own father in two with a single stroke..."

"Look at that person's swordsmanship, it's so steady, accurate and ruthless. If I were to cut down my own father, I definitely wouldn't be as steady as him..."

……

Su Che stood in the air, coldly observing everything.

With his current eyesight and Lieque Thunder Eye's ability to sense all kinds of evil magic, he couldn't see any signs, let alone He Wuji, whose cultivation was not as good as his.
This tiger demon's illusion magic is truly remarkable.

He secretly transformed his powerful demonic energy into an illusion, concealing He Wuji's father within, and then put on a rough and uncouth demeanor.

Indeed, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy. If Yan Qi hadn't made a move, He Wuji would probably have surrendered under the shock of his mind.

Yan Qi's sword strike was truly masterful and sophisticated. It struck the ground beneath He Wuji's feet, generating a force that caused him to shift sideways.

As for the words he just uttered, they clearly carried magical power, and should be the method of the East Sea Sword Palace lineage for controlling the mind and eliminating distracting thoughts.

At this moment, He Wuji was filled with distracting thoughts. He stared at the Broken Yuehe Blade in his hand, drops of hot blood rolling down its blade. He reached out a finger, picked up a drop, and put it in his mouth. His expression was blank, and he was only a moment away from falling into demonic possession.

If it weren't for Yan Qi's intervention, this outstanding disciple of the White Deer Cave Heavenly Stable Academy would probably have been crippled.

At this point, Su Che could naturally see that He Wuji, this outstanding disciple of Bailudong, had been outmaneuvered by someone, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The enemy's carefully laid plans were aimed at He Wuji.

As for myself and Yan Qi, we must have gotten involved in this matter unintentionally.

But who is plotting against Bailudong?
Su Che looked at the tiger demon in front of him and felt that there seemed to be something else inexplicable besides the condensed demonic energy around him.

"Think it through. If you just give up like this, then you'll truly fall into their trap."

Yan Qi stood in front of He Wuji, gazing into the distance. In mid-air, the tiger demon released its fierce demonic energy, which surged and created gusts of wind, while countless demonic shadows flickered and vanished in the wind.

The demonic shadows swarmed, heading straight for He Wuji's lost composure.

Yan Qi frowned slightly, and unleashed a harmonious sword intent. As soon as the Yin Demon illusion got close, it was cleaved into the most scattered thoughts.

The tiger demon reappeared, but it was no longer the strong and ferocious figure it once was. It wore a tattered, patched robe, and was emaciated. The only thing that remained unchanged was its four white, evil eyes.

A long banner appeared in his hand, painted with hideous and evil symbols. The banner swayed slowly in his hand, guiding the layers of demonic shadows, as if praising or weeping.

"As the saying goes, 'What is lost on one front is gained on another.'" The tiger demon stood in mid-air: "I never expected that we would not only not lose on the other front, but also have an unexpected joy."

"My original intention was merely to obtain an ancestral weapon from Bailu Cave, but I never expected to encounter a disciple of the East Sea Sword Palace."

He was overjoyed.

Four-eyed ghost tiger.

Su Che couldn't tell, but Yan Qi, who came from the East Sea, naturally recognized the figure of this great demon with a notorious reputation in the East Sea.

"Brother Su, have you ever heard of the name Ghost Tiger?"

The red-clad swordsman looked at the tiger demon standing in the air, holding a long banner.

"This person attained enlightenment in Xuanshan, Cizhou. He was born with four evil eyes and was skilled at bewitching people's hearts. He then went deep into the East Sea. He was cunning and treacherous by nature. Wherever he went, the land was stained with blood. He especially enjoyed devouring and killing all the people in the places he passed through and turning them into ghouls for his pleasure."

"Twenty-three years ago, I attained the fourth rank of cultivation in the Kingdom of Chuyun in the East Sea. I then plundered and killed people indiscriminately, intending to seize the Kingdom of Chuyun as my base. However, I encountered a True Person from the Sword Palace who was traveling in the East Sea. Although I escaped with my life, I was still knocked down in cultivation level."

"After that, he roamed the vast waves of the East Sea, taking pleasure in torturing and killing cultivators. The East Sea Sword Palace issued a demon-slaying order, but unexpectedly, he actually hid in the Central Plains."

Yan Qi let out a long roar: "When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? If this demon is allowed to run rampant, it will surely bring great disaster to the Central Plains. I beg Brother Su to help me slay the demon and exterminate evil."

Su Che released the mirage energy from the Chiwen Ring, focused his mind, and became invisible in the air. On the other side, the Prince of Wuling watched everything before him, his gaze drifting to Lady Xie on the other side.

Even with the numerous shadowy figures in the sky, Madam Xie remained calm and composed, like a deer leaping to her left without blinking.

"Does Your Highness want to ask if there is any way to help that Young Master He?"

The Prince of Wuling nodded slowly.

Although he had no interest in talent, he still harbored ambitions to seize power. If he could gain the assistance of Bailudong, it would truly give this prince, who had nothing but imperial favor, more resources.

The Crown Prince has lived in the Eastern Palace for many years, and his shadow has long been felt throughout the Great Liang Dynasty. The Prince of Wuling does not seek complete victory, but at least he must ensure that he is not purged too severely after the Great Liang Emperor passes away.

Even if He Wuji doesn't wholeheartedly submit, saving him at this moment would still be considered a good deed done at Bailudong, one of the four great academies.

No matter what, He Wuji was the master of the fourteen ancestral weapons of Tian Si Academy. If such a martial arts divine sword fell into the hands of demons and evil people, not to mention the terrible consequences, even if the news got out, it would be enough to bring shame to the entire Bai Lu Cave.

"If Your Highness is willing, then you can naturally ask Zhu'er to take action."

Madam Xie looked at Prince Wuling: "But does Your Highness know that our Third Brother Su and the White Deer Cave are irreconcilable enemies? If we save Young Master He today, what will happen to Young Master Su...?"

The Prince of Wuling remained silent for a moment.

Su Che's experiences in Jiankang City back then naturally could not be kept from those who were interested.

Before leaving the palace, he received guidance from inside the palace, who said that Su Che's previous actions were a scheme, and that he must not underestimate this Deputy Commander of the Court of Judicial Affairs after arriving in Cizhou.

To be honest, the Prince of Wuling really wanted to take this man under his wing.

Although the powerful families of Wang, Xie, Yu, and Huan are currently in power in the Southern Dynasty, which emperor did not have the support of the military men of Yongzhou when he ascended the throne?
He was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he really didn't want to see the demon rampant and hoped to save He Wuji. On the other hand, he was worried about angering Su Che and affecting his future plans.

"Your Highness, since it is difficult to control either side, it is better to wait and see."

Madam Xie's words were like a gentle spring breeze, calming the anxious Prince of Wuling back down to earth.

"It's always better to take control of your own destiny than to rely on others to achieve your goals."

Madam Xie suddenly said something that startled the Prince of Wuling.

"Your Highness, don't you agree?"

Above the sky, demonic shadows howled, and a tiger demon held a long banner, chanting incantations.

The incantation murmured, and the demonic shadows that kept rising and falling in the air gradually gathered and condensed, and a hideous half-body god statue appeared in the air.

Its entire body was pitch black, with blood gushing from it. Its six black arms were pierced with various weapons, and its demon head had six vertical horns that stood upright like those of a goat. Its three hideous blood-red eyes were sewn together with blood-red gut thread.

Countless mouths protruded from the skin of the phantom statue, each chanting incantations. The chants rose and fell, sweeping through the minds of the crowd like a raging torrent.

"They come, the security."

The tiger demon waved the long banner in his hand.

“Friend of the Water Margin, you just take your people and leave. This time I will only question the Sword Palace disciples and the White Deer Cave disciples.”

Yan Qi, however, was not prepared to give the two sides any time to negotiate.

A gentle breeze.

He raised his right hand, his little finger hooking a wisp of breeze that went straight into the layers of demonic shadows.

Though the breeze was weak, it shattered all the demonic shadows wherever it went.

Yan Qi shook his sword intent and grabbed He Wuji, who was standing to the side, and was about to retreat.

The tiger demon's divine sense had already sealed off the area below like a spider web, so it naturally saw through his methods.

"Where to go!"
