Immortal Road.

Chapter 271: Subjugating the Henchmen
"Boy, what do you mean?"

The evil spirits saw that Lin Shan was getting ready to make a move again and was urging the Netherworld Sea of ​​Fire to surround them. They were filled with fear and retreated repeatedly, questioning him.

Lin Shan walked towards him with steady steps and a relaxed look on his face.

"Nothing, I just feel a little tired of living. I want to have a taste of what you all call the pollution of evil spirits."

"What???"

The three evil spirits stared at each other in disbelief.

Are there still people who are tired of living these days?
How can it be? !
"Don't think we are joking. If it comes to that, we, the evil spirits, would rather die in glory than live in disgrace."

"it is good!"

Lin Shan suddenly shouted!
It wasn't a big deal that the noise was making, but it frightened the three evil spirits so much that they trembled and twitched.

"Lin admires heroes the most in his life. I didn't expect that there would be such a righteous man among the evil spirits!"

"Life and death are bearish, do not accept it!"

"Since you are ready to die, I will help you and send you off!"

……

"No, let's talk it over nicely."

The three evil spirits had no time to dodge before they saw the Netherworld ghost fire burning fiercely, creating a huge wave that hit them directly.

"Pong!"

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh~~~”

In the sea of ​​fire, three evil spirits screamed continuously, which made those who heard them sad and cried.

Lin Shan set fire to the evil spirit while frowning and covering his ears, but it was obviously not working in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It's really too noisy, the screams of the evil spirits are really unpleasant to hear.

"Aren't you crazy? And you're also contaminated by evil spirits. Show me one?"

Now that he had the soul source that could cure all diseases, Lin Shan instantly became bolder.

He wasn't kidding, he really wanted to experience it.

He has plenty of soul sources in his hands. He can have as much as he wants. I'm not exaggerating.

However, he really overestimated the willpower of these three guys. After only a short while of being burned, cries for mercy were heard from within the sea of ​​fire.

"Sir, please stop! We are blind and don't know a great man. We won't dare to provoke you again. Please be kind and let us go!"

"Please spare us, sir. We were blinded by greed for a moment. Next time, even if you give us a hundred times the courage, we will not dare to be your enemy!"

"Ahhh! Young Master has great magical powers and boundless soul power. Why bother with a small evil spirit? It is we who have offended the Heavenly Emperor. I hope you will forgive us!"

"Please spare my life~~~"

……

Lin Shan was a little surprised. How could these three guys change their expressions so quickly?
Aren't evil spirits supposed to be flammable and explosive, evil, furious, cruel and vicious?
Why do these three give him the feeling that they are the behavior of erratic villains?
While he was thinking here, he did not relax his hands, but instead increased the intensity of the Netherworld Ghost Fire. This time he decided not to trust them anymore and just burn them to death.

The three evil spirit brothers inside were howling like ghosts and wolves. The black fog was getting smaller and smaller. They could not resist the burning at all. Their spirits were shrinking gradually, but they no longer had the courage to perish together with their loved ones.

If they really had to let their evil pills detonate, they would not be able to make up their minds to do so. Instead, they would cherish their lives even more when facing death.

"Master, please spare our lives! We only ask for a way to live. We are willing to work like you, we really don't want to die!"

"Woo woo woo, since the birth of the Aurora Sea, the three of us have never met a truly ruthless master like you. Today, I see that you are indeed a genius of the soul. We are willing to follow you. I hope you will spare our lives!"

"My Lord, you are a man of great virtue. I think you must be broad-minded and disdainful of arguing with us. Just let us go!"

"Yes, yes, God is merciful and kind."

……

You guys are evil spirits who are plotting and planning to attack people all day long, and you tell me that God is merciful?

Why do I not believe it so much?

Lin Shan sneered and showed no interest in these people.

"Are you qualified to be my subordinates?"

"I heard before that your evil spirit tribe has the Hundred Patterns Evil Pill?"

"One has nine lines, one has four lines, and the other has one line. How bad can your aptitudes be?!"

"Among your evil spirit clan, I'm probably at the bottom of the evil pill stage. If it weren't for the difficult racial talents, I could suppress all of you with one hand!"

"You're not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

The three evil spirit brothers had been burned to the point of being out of breath, and their cries gradually became weaker. They did not dare to refute Lin Shan at all, and could only beg for mercy.

"Young Master is right. We three brothers are indeed not very talented, but that depends on who we compare ourselves with."

"Compared to a peerless genius like you, he is naturally a complete waste. The difference is as big as a firefly compared to the bright moon!"

"But if we were any other evil spirit, we would be considered normal!"

"The evil spirits that were accidentally born in the Aurora Sea are all wild evil spirits. There is no tribe environment for us to grow. We are completely free to roam. We rely on the fragmentary memories we are born with, and we have stumbled and struggled to get to where we are now!"

"The three of us have been helpless since we were young. Our grandma doesn't love us, our uncle doesn't care about us, and we have gone through so many twists and turns before we could barely make this low-grade evil pill. It's really because the environment doesn't allow it!"

……

Lin Shan listened to their crying and then reacted.

No wonder these three are so weak. They are wild evil spirits without any cultivation in the clan, but they can reach the Jindan stage on their own. It seems that their talents should not be bad. I think they were delayed by acquired factors.

But he was still not moved and continued to output soul power to burn him.

"I don't care what you've been through. Evil spirits are evil spirits. Keeping you around is a hidden danger. Who knows when you'll turn against me. Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?"

The three evil spirits were now exhausted by the Netherworld's ghost fire. They had shrunk in size in the sea of ​​fire and could hardly howl anymore.

"We sincerely surrender to you, sir, and we will never dare to disobey you. If we break this oath, we will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"If you are still not sure, you can sign a paper contract, or even a soul contract!"

"That's right, as long as we can survive, we will follow you from now on!"

……

Lin Shan was still hesitating because he didn't know how to restrain these three evil spirits.

Naturally, he was very tempted to recruit three more followers, but preventing them from betraying him was the top priority.

Paper contract?

The only thing that can restrain the evil spirits in the Jindan stage is probably the golden contract made of Kuiniu leather that the Yuanying stage boss Huang Xianshi gave him to restrain the Black Skull Demon Lord.

This kind of rare item is hard to find because of its materials.

It must be at least the essence of a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage to bear the soul contract that binds the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, to carve and make the golden pages of the contract, one must at least be a master talisman maker before attempting it.

Where can Lin Shan have that thing?

So if the paper contract fails, will we just use the soul contract as slavery?
This is even more uneconomical.

The upper limit of the origin of the Jindan stage and the burden on the soul are predetermined. If he forcibly enslaves a Jindan stage person, it may not have much impact on himself.

If you enslave a lot of people, you will feel uncomfortable, depressed, constrained, heavy, etc., which will affect your future practice, fighting, and even daily life. The purpose of cultivating immortals is to be free and relaxed, so how can you be burdened by external things?

Moreover, if I encounter better summoning contract creatures in the future, won’t I still have to cross the river and destroy them?

Lin Shan shook his head repeatedly and told them that he had neither the golden page of the contract nor the quota for the soul contract, so he asked them to just die in peace.

The three evil spirits cried bitterly and kowtowed continuously in the sea of ​​fire.

"Sir, please don't be so cruel! We really want to follow you!"

"Without the paper contract and the soul contract, we can still think of other ways. There is no need to kill them all like this!"

"Yes, yes, we can give you our evil cores for safekeeping. With this, you can control our life and death at any time. It's up to you to decide whether we live or die."

……

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

When the three evil spirit brothers inside saw that Lin Shan was about to make a move, they gritted their teeth and took out fist-sized gray crystal cores and threw them towards the sea of ​​fire.

Lin Shan waved his hand and took it. Three gray crystal cores fell into his palm. The surface was bulging and seemed to be beating inside, with a slight warm feeling.

The strengthening panel appeared in front of him at this time, helping him to identify automatically.

[Evil Spirit Crystal Core]

Quality: None
Introduction: The companion crystal core of the evil spirit "Mang", the evil body organ, can help it gather and disperse, absorb essence and blood to transform evil spirit. If it is destroyed, the evil spirit will collapse and scatter, and die.

Reinforcement requirements: Cannot be reinforced.

……

This one belongs to the evil spirit "Mang", and the remaining two are from "蠖" and "Ru", which are equivalent to the evil spirit's central organs such as the heart and cerebellum. Once one of them is gone, it will die directly. It is very domineering.

With the guarantee of enhanced panel appraisal, Lin Shan is naturally 100% assured.

Only then did he put away his murderous intent, and with a wave of his sleeves, the green sea of ​​fire slowly receded, revealing three pieces of black mist that had been burned and shrunk several times.

However, in order to verify it, he still used the Netherworld Ghost Fire to burn it slightly, and the three crystal cores immediately showed a tendency to melt.

The three evil spirit brothers over there began to howl like ghosts and wolves again, and the black fog was rolling and it seemed that it was about to dissipate. Lin Shan nodded with satisfaction and stopped.

"That's right. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. It is your blessing to meet me today. If it were any other Confucian monk in Lu, I'm afraid they would punish the evil and eliminate the evil directly, and would not give you a chance to live!"

"Since you are able to survive, then you must work hard for me and not slack off for even a moment!"

"If you dare to disobey me, I will not show mercy when I strike you down!"

The three evil spirit brothers burst into tears and said they dared not. They floated to Lin Shan and knelt down one by one to express their loyalty.

"Your Excellency's great kindness is like a rebirth. From today on, we will turn over a new leaf and become new people."

"It wasn't until today that we realized that what we have been waiting for is to follow you!"

"From tonight onwards, if you tell us to go east, we will never go west, even if it means going through fire and water!"

……

The ghost fires in the surroundings suddenly burned fiercely, and the surging sea of ​​fire illuminated the spiritual space.

Lin Shan wanted to test the truth of their words: "Are you really going through mountains of swords and seas of fire? Then let's try it?"

The three evil brothers had sad faces. They had no choice but to walk towards the sea of ​​fire reluctantly, preparing to jump in with tragic looks on their faces.

"No need. I was just testing you with my words. I already know your loyalty."

Lin Shan couldn't really let these three jump in, so he held them back at the critical moment.

The three evil spirit brothers could not help crying and bowing their heads in gratitude.

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. Now I am grateful that you have not abandoned me."

"I am willing to be your foster father!"

"I am willing to be your foster father!"

"Ru is willing to be your foster father!"

……

"No, no, no, forget it, godfather. I can't bear it."

Lin Shan waved his hands hurriedly. He was quite sensitive to the word "godfather" and was afraid that his old age would be uncertain. He wanted them to recognize their own status and not have any unreasonable expectations.

The three evil spirit brothers shut up unhappily.

The evil crystal was handed over to someone else. Thinking that his life was in someone else's hands, he could only live under someone else's roof and obey orders.

Lin Shan suddenly had three more followers, and his mood instantly brightened up. Promising big things was his specialty.

"Don't worry, following me will definitely give you a bright future!"

"If you perform well in the future, I will not be stingy with rewards and will help you grow."

"Also, when I break through to a higher level in the future and your role becomes dispensable, I will return the evil crystal and let you go freely!"

The three evil brothers were originally listless, but when they heard this, their eyes immediately lit up and they felt that there was hope for the future.

One by one, they couldn't help but howl like ghosts and wolves.

"Young Master is as magnanimous as the sea, with a broad mind and a lofty spirit. We are deeply impressed!"

"Hey~ keep a low profile~"

The smile on Lin Shan's face grew brighter. Regardless of whether these three guys could do the job or not, at least they were good at flattering people, which could be considered a core competitiveness.

The three evil spirit brothers lowered their heads and looked submissive, and they were very aware at this moment. It seemed that they were born to be lackeys.

Lin Shan thought about it and placed them in the spirit beast bag, letting them accompany the phantom ancient tree first.

In the spirit beast bag.

The young sapling is replenishing nutrients and working hard to restore its vitality. With the help of green mud and soft soil, it has barely escaped its sickly appearance.

However, when he saw three uninvited guests breaking into his lair, he couldn't help but tremble and shake.

The three evil brothers did not act rashly. They chose a place not far from the sapling as their home.

……

After everything was settled, Lin Shan cleaned up his sea of ​​consciousness to make sure there were no hidden dangers left. Then he returned to reality. What just happened was just a short moment and it didn't last long in the outside world.

However, in the prismatic world in the Aurora Sea, Lin Shan was the only one left, and the Yang family's ancestors and others were indeed missing.

Lin Shan probed his spiritual consciousness into the spirit beast bag to ask where the three evil brothers, the Yang family ancestor and others had gone.

The answer was that the three brothers had been lost long ago. They took advantage of the fact that Lin Shan had no companions and dared to take action. Their target was the youngest one with the lowest cultivation level. But who could have expected that Lin Shan was so strong against them.

"The situation is not good. The three allies of the Yang family's ancestors are missing. What should we do next?"

"Oh no, don't I have evil spirits? I can just ask them directly!"

"As the local boss of the Aurora Sea, I think you have already figured out the route!"

The three evil spirits nodded in unison, expressing their willingness to be the guide and bring Lin Shan out of the Aurora Sea safely.

But at this time Lin Shan had a new idea.

"Since the Yang family's ancestor is missing, why don't I use my evil spirit ability to secretly follow the Nine Nether Young Master?"
