I can't be a demon.

Chapter 189: Tens of Millions of Clone of the Nine Spirits Saint
Shen Lian showed murderous intent on his face.

First of all, it is not surprising that the name of the Great Ape Subduing Demon Lord spread to the world, which was definitely influenced by the taboo of Madam White Bone.

As a demon with thousands of years of Taoist practice, Mrs. White Bone's taboos have reached a level close to Taoism, and are even enough to be called [Immortal Law].

Shen Lian was mentally prepared.

After getting involved in the dispute at Mount Huaguo, there is a high probability that some myths and legends will appear in the world.

But... Madam Bai Gu's taboo would not have given rise to a demon named Great Ape Jiangmo Tianzun. Obviously there was another hidden story behind it.

Shen Lian groaned.

"The timing is really a coincidence. The development of the heart's sacrum is coming to an end."

Shen Lian activated his Lingtai Fangcunxin, and blue veins spread across his chest.

If it is a genuine Lingtai Fangcunxin, the gestation of the immortal bone is usually accompanied by a rebirth, and the physical body will gradually approach Guankou Zhenjun.

The horizontal training version of Lingtai Fangcunxin is different.

It's more like the immortal bone is actively adapting to the immortal profound art.

It’s just that Lingtai Fangcunxin has not yet been integrated into the Immortal Mysterious Art, which causes the progress to be unusually slow, and it requires steady effort.

"Haha, it's obvious that some forces are using the name of the Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerable to stir up trouble, or in other words, there is a high possibility of profit in it."

Bang bang bang.

The heart was beating wildly, and the pupil-shaped immortal orifice in the center gradually stabilized.

Shen Lian found it difficult to suppress his celestial bone, as if a new organ had appeared in his body, causing some subtle changes in his martial arts.

【Spiritual Platform Square Inch Heart (First Layer)】

"Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerable, could it be that the White Bone Cave is causing trouble?"

Shen Lian then secretly denied it, "Impossible."

"From the current perspective, the White Bone Cave is a friend, not an enemy. It doesn't look like they would deliberately frame me. Besides, I haven't offended Madam White Bone."

"Well, I guess... I didn't offend you, did I? I'm sincere to my wife!"

Shen Lian covered his chest, and his heart began to swallow blood continuously.

Immediately afterwards, the blood flowing from the heart became extremely viscous, with a faint hint of black gray in color, and its weight increased more than ten times.

Lingtai Fangcunxin's baptism of the flesh became more and more intense.

"Ma Wanhu has suppressed his injuries and officially came out of seclusion not long ago. He must have learned about the local situation before sending a telepathic message to me."

"Since you mentioned the evil spirit, it means that there is indeed a big demon in Taiyuan."

The White Bone Cave is mainly populated by ghosts, and the forces interfering in Taiyuan should come from the monster cave.

After the immortal bone stabilized, Shen Lian took out the Wanhu token and planned to ask Ma Wanhu.

It turned out that the information reserved in the token had disappeared.

It was as if Ma Wanhu had never contacted him.

Shen Lian was also unable to sense Ma Wanhu's exact location through the token, indicating that the latter's situation was not optimistic.

"WeChat chat, right? Retract the message you sent?"

Shen Lian didn't think that Ma Wanhu was intentionally concealing the truth. It was very likely that the forces involved in Taiyuan were closely related to the Jinwu Guards. After noticing Ma Wanhu's actions, they didn't want Shen Lian to intervene.

Not only Ma Wanhu, but also Wang Xin and others who were in Taiyuan had no news.

The only exception was Zuo Yan, but the latter seemed to have no time to take care of the token, and no matter how Shen Lian transmitted his thoughts, there was no response at all.

"You'll know if you try. You treat me as a prisoner, right?"

The heart shrank to the size of a walnut and the blood was no longer pure, but at least it did not affect the performance of one's martial arts.

Shen Lian sneered, said hello to Shen Hansheng, and walked out of the pawnshop.

boom.

A slight jump.

Shen Lian crossed most of the city and headed northwest.

The result was indeed as expected. When the forces coveting Taiyuan saw Shen Lian leaving, they immediately responded, which was obviously something they had planned for a long time.

Rumble.

The sky changed suddenly, and a light drizzle covered Shen Lian's head.

The drizzle in early spring came suddenly, mixed with the pungent aroma of medicine, causing the wild beasts to raise their heads and sniff the scent.

Shen Lian had a strange expression on his face.

As the drizzle fell, Lingtai Fangcunxin's transformation began to accelerate, and Yunling Daoying also let out a deafening cry.

Originally, Yunling Daoying had reached the bottleneck of the third realm, but now, stimulated by the power of the medicine, he began to advance naturally.

Yunling Daoying instinctively opened his mouth and swallowed.

The medicinal fragrance in the air completely absorbed into his body, and his strength became more and more refined.

Shen Lian confirmed again and again and found no problems, then reached out to catch a drop of rain.

【Innate Essence】

[Born from the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, the first time it absorbs the medicinal power it can help the Taoist Infant to transform into a mortal being, but the second time it absorbs the medicinal power it will become possessed.]

"Jiuqu Panhuan Cave?"

"It seems to be the alchemist force belonging to Jiuling Yuansheng."

Shen Lian remembered that Jiuling Yuansheng was the mount of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun in the original work, a lion with nine heads.

Jiuling Yuansheng was one of the few demons who was not interested in Tang Monk's flesh. He indulged himself in becoming an ancestor in the human world. In the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, he accepted a seven-headed lion demon as his offspring, and had countless disciples.

Obviously, the drizzle was an artificially created opportunity, mainly to prevent Shen Lian from moving.

"Even the great medicines of the Tang Dynasty are the leftovers from the cave residence. They definitely can't produce the innate essence. It can be seen that the power in the Taiyuan area is Panhuan Cave."

"The situation of the Jinwu Guard is more serious than expected. The interior is already riddled with holes. Panhuan Cave can actually block the disaster that affects the entire area."

This also indirectly shows how important Shen Lian is in the eyes of various forces.

He communicated with Wan Hu's token and found that if he continued to walk, Ma Wan Hu's aura would weaken. It was obviously a threat to him.

"Nine Spirits Saint, wait, Taiyi Savior of Suffering Heavenly Venerable..."

"I remember that Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is said to have tens of millions of incarnations, and his clones are more numerous than grains of sand. Could it be that Jiuling Yuansheng's magical powers are similar?"

"Nine Spirits Saint wants to refine the Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Lord into some kind of incarnation?"

Shen Lian estimated that his guess was almost correct, otherwise he really couldn't understand why Panhuan Cave targeted the Great Ape Subduing Demon Heavenly Venerable.

"If you had directly seized the title of Great Ape Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerable, I would have no objection at all. But you had to create so many troubles. Do you think that the innate essence can get rid of me?"

Shen Lian controlled the strength to flush the Dao Infant.

The physical body is severely restricted because of Lingtai Fangcunxin, while at the same time it has to take care of the Tao infant.

No matter how you look at it, Shen Lian really couldn't allow his foundation to be damaged, so he traveled for more than ten days to Taiyuan to support Ma Wanhu.

As long as he turned a blind eye, Ma Wanhu and others could escape successfully.

"What can I do?"

Shen Lian turned around and returned to Yanliang Town.

He sat cross-legged at the foot of the banyan tree, seemingly lost in a state of complete concentration.

"I just don't buy into this. I don't want to play any game of pros and cons with you. Any action you take will be considered trouble."

A cold light flashed in Shen Lian's eyes. Since they have come to his door, it is either you die or you perish.

His logic is simple.

Panhuandong is showing fear towards me, which just means that you are not sure you can solve the problem yourself. Well, let's have a try first.

Shen Lian conveyed the message to Zhang Yuanzhen, a captain who was also in charge of Yanshan.

Zhang Yuanzhen practiced the Bear and Bear Sutra. On the surface, he looked like a burly bear-like man, but in fact he was very cautious. After hearing the news in Taiyuan, he hid in Daqi Town under the pretext of seclusion.

Daqi Town is famous for its porcelain, and Zhang Yuanzhen fired it in an underground cave.

Even though he and Zuo Yan have been friends for many years, he is well aware of the depth of the water in Taiyuan and knows that he cannot control the situation with his own strength.

"Captain Zhang."

Zhang Yuanzhen was shocked when he received Shen Lian's message.

"Sir Shen, I'm sorry, my body and soul were seriously injured in the accident. It may take more than half a year to recover. I am really powerless..."

"Captain Zhang, I just want you to do me a small favor."

"A small favor?"

Zhang Yuanzhen swallowed his saliva and could feel the instability of Shen Lian's physical and spiritual state.

"Captain Zhang, please tell me what the situation is in Taiyuan first."

"I... Hey, there really is a demon haunting Taiyuan. Its magical power has covered hundreds of miles, and the imperial court hasn't even found its true form."

Zhang Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In fact, he has always been paying attention to Taiyuan and has tried to go there, but in front of the evil monster, the Taoist Infant Jinwu Guard seems insignificant.

Not to mention, there are already some alchemists among them.

"Panhuan Cave?"

"It is indeed Panhuan Cave. In fact, there are many children of officials in the capital who practice the Nine Spirits Sutra. This is mainly because the threshold for this internal skill is relatively low. Even if you fail to gain entry, your life will not be in danger."

As Zhang Yuanzhen spoke, he slowly walked out of the cave.

"Sir Shen, it's a bit too late now."

Zhang Yuanzhen stood at the entrance of the cave and watched the people coming and going in the town. "From what I know, Panhuan Cave is preparing to use a large magic array to cover Taiyuan Town. I'm afraid it will be completed in twenty days."

"Master Shen, it will take at least ten days to go to Taiyuan. By then, the magic circle will have taken shape."

"I have to continue my retreat, so I would like to invite you to go to Taiyuan Town."

Shen Lian's heart shrank to the size of a peanut. Daoying was also on the verge of promotion, and his body was in turmoil every minute and every second.

Zhang Yuanzhen shook his head helplessly. "Even if I work without sleep, I can only reach Taiyuan in 17 or 18 days, but..."

"It's okay. Just go to Shikou Mountain, which is a thousand miles away from Taiyuan."

"what?"

Zhang Yuanzhen looked puzzled, as Shikou Mountain was just a pass on the official road.

"Captain Zhang, you can set up a statue of Zhong Kui every thousand miles along the way, and then wait for me at Shikou Mountain. This will also ensure safety."

"alright."

Zhang Yuanzhen did not refuse again.

In his heart, he was quite dissatisfied with Panhuan Cave's move to seal off Taiyuan Town. Even though there were not many casualties, it almost made the imperial court useless.

Perhaps the only one who can check and balance the power of the cave residence is Shen Lian.

"The methods of reincarnated immortals and Buddhas are beyond the comprehension of mortals like us."

With Shen Lian attracting the attention of Panhuan Cave in Yanliang Town, Zhang Yuanzhen's danger was greatly reduced, and he traveled day and night.

Shen Lian was still immersed in seclusion, and could occasionally sense one or two spiritual senses spying on him.

As the sacrum takes shape, the blood becomes increasingly weird.

It was as if there was resentment mixed in the blood, which had already taken on a dark green color. Fortunately, his wise eyes did not detect any demonic aura, and the blood did not affect the operation of the Immortal Profound Art.

Yunling Daoying has not made a breakthrough yet, and seems to be waiting for the transformation of the immortal bone.

Three days passed.

Shen Lian was surprised to find that the blood was vaporizing.

After the blood gradually turned into gas, the flow rate suddenly increased fourfold, and the efficiency of the Immortal Profound Art in tempering the body increased by 30%.

"It is worthy of being called Immortal Bone."

"This is only the first level of Lingtai Fangcun."
