I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

But this immortal seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Tengu looked Li Lin up and down, his gaze lingering on the colorful coral on Li Lin's arm, except for the pair of lifeless, dead fish eyes. In Tengu's elemental vision, a white viper covered in fine scales was seen crawling along the coral reef.

Seemingly sensing the lightning elemental power that shared the same lineage as the Thunder General, the White Viper slightly raised its head and flicked its tongue at Kujo Sara.

"evil!"

The indomitable Tengu General took a step back, a chill rising from the end of her spine, causing the feathers on her back to stand on end.

This fear stemmed from the depths of her bloodline. It seemed that the Tengu clan's bloodline had been etched with a fear of snakes for an unknown period of time. Even so, Kujo Sara only lost her composure slightly before quickly regaining her calm.

After the elemental vision was deactivated, Li Lin's right arm returned to normal, but Kujo Sara knew that it was the "Serpent God Orobas" that Tongxin had mentioned earlier.

It was because Orobas devoured Raiden General's beloved general, Sasa Yuri, that Raiden General was enraged and unleashed the Musou-slash that divided the battlefield, killing Orobas.

Kujo Sara nodded: "...It was indeed very dangerous. I will take charge of these people from now on."

"Lord Shanluo?"

Tongxin was somewhat surprised, but did not object to Kujo Sara. As a tengu that roamed freely in the air, Kujo Sara's mobility far exceeded expectations. It could travel back and forth between the battlefield and Narukami Island in just one hour.

"You will all return to Kujo Jinya as well, beware of ambushes," Kujo Sara then ordered. "I will take them to Narukami Island to meet the Great Lord."

Tongxin indicated that he understood: "Then I will go first. The Way is vast and the spirit is eternal."

After relinquishing their responsibilities in supervising Li Lin and others, they no longer need to be constrained.

Hearing this, Kaedehara Manba thought to himself, "They're taking us to see General Raiden. Once they figure out our identities, they'll carry out the Eye Hunt order. This isn't friendly news."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin thought to himself, "So this novel actually has a main plot. I thought I'd see the Divine Cherry Tree being blown into the sky by the filth."

"Let's go." Kujo Sara gave Li Lin a wary look, gesturing for him to walk in front.

Li Lin remained unmoved, shaking his head left and right as if admiring the scenery.

"What are you doing?" Kujo Sara urged Li Lin.

In the military, this kind of seasoned soldier was the object of Kujo Sara's deepest hatred.

"I'm contemplating life," Li Lin replied calmly and respectfully.

Kujo Sara's forehead veins throbbed, as if she was enraged by Master Li's absurd reason. If Li Lin were her soldier, he would have been court-martialed by now.

"I'll do it." Kaedehara Manyo volunteered to go to the front of the group, and started walking without looking away.

"I have a question," Li Lin suddenly asked after walking a few steps.

Kujo Sara turned her head suspiciously: "What?"

Master Li pointed to the high-heeled wooden clogs on her feet: "Aren't you celestial dogs afraid of falling while wearing these clogs?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Kaedehara Manyo and the head division commander also turned their heads, their eyes flashing with curiosity. To be honest, they were also very interested in this.

After all, the legendary celestial dogs live in the mountains and forests, and you can't see a live celestial dog all the time.

Kujo Sara did not raise any objections, but honestly replied, "We Tengu follow the banner of the Thunder God and possess the secret techniques of wind and thunder. We are known for our freedom in the air and are naturally unlike ordinary people."

The implication is that these tengu are agile and can fly and run fast, so they can run steadily even when wearing single-toothed high-heeled wooden clogs.

"There are also rumors that the mountain shinobi and nobushi who live hidden in the Inazuma Mountains can become carefree tengu after death if they train diligently," Kaedehara Manyo, who was walking at the front of the group, added. "However, this is just a legend in the Inazuma area."

Li Lin opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

Unsuspecting, Kujo Sara stepped forward and then placed one foot on a protruding, smooth stone.

The high-heeled wooden clogs slipped and lost their support, causing the tengu to instinctively lean back as if about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, just as she was about to lose her balance, the black wings on Kujo Sara's back opened, providing buoyancy that allowed her to regain her footing.

As soon as Kujo Sara straightened up, an undisguised laugh came from the side.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff".

Although Kaedehara Manyo felt embarrassed, the emotionally intelligent Manyo didn't express any opinion on it.

As for the head division commander, he was completely oblivious to Kujo Sara's earlier predicament.

"why are you laughing?"

Kujo Sara stared directly at Li Lin.

“I’ve thought of something funny,” Li Lin replied.

"Are you a naughty child?" Kujo Sara asked back.

Li Lin's expression shifted, as if he had realized something: "It can definitely be used next time?"

Kujo Sara ignored him.

The problem is that Li Lin's interest has been piqued, and once his interest is piqued, he's not one to give up easily just because others ignore him.

As the saying goes, "If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain to get through it."

This proverb was just something Li Lin came up with.

“Kujou Sara, do you know?” Li Lin leaned close behind Tengu, and a sandalwood-like fragrance wafted from her short hair, making Li Lin sniff. “General Raiden and Raiden Movie are two different people.”

Tengu continued walking: "Liyue person, your sweet talk has gone a bit too far."

Although Li Lin's disrespect for Thor infuriated her, now was not the time to correct his misconceptions.

The main issue is that she might not be able to beat Li Lin.

Li Lin's eyes widened; this was the first time someone hadn't reacted to his verbal barrage.

Driven by wickedness, Master Li immediately followed behind Kujo Sara and began reciting the seditious poem incessantly.

"When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom and all others wither. The fragrance soars to the heavens and fills the air, and the whole city is full of travelers."

"The Demon Puppet Sword Demon has only one eye, stirring up the rebellion of the Inazuma world."

"Slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare melons and violets. When the Coral Palace comes, we will not pay grain, taxes, or other taxes. Let everyone have a good time."

"Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet people still complain that Heaven is unkind. They do not know that calamities are everywhere, and the suffering of the common people is caused by the Thunder God. People are born into different classes, and the noble are always favored by the Thunder God. The wealth and honor of a person are all determined by Heaven, while the poverty of the common people is the punishment of the gods."

"Suddenly, a madman sharpens his knife in the night, and the Inazumatsu sways high above the heavens. From this day forward, the world will be turned upside down, and the slaying of gods will need no mercy. The Heavenly Commander says: Kill! The Temple and Shrine Commander says: Kill! The Investigation Commander says: Kill! The Narukami Grand Shrine says: Kill! Inazumatsu, all who disobey, Sangokiya says: Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"I was not born to chase after deer, nor do I care to build a golden platform for the sea god. The three great ministers are all like dogs, always trembling prey under the knife. Order the King of Dongshan under my command, and when the city is breached, there is no need to sheathe your swords."

The white viper wrapped around Li Lin's arm stared wide-eyed in fright, trembling.

Orobas had only one thought in his mind: Li Lin, you fucking sold me out?

240 doesn't feel as good as Python... the image quality.

To be fair, Kaedehara Manyo thinks it's incredibly lucky that Li Lin wasn't beaten to death when he was a child.

As for why I didn't say "now," it's because Li Lin defeated Kujo Sara in one round.

To be precise, it was a single move; Kujo Sara didn't even have time to make a move.

More precisely, Kujo Sara had no intention of making a move; she simply wanted to turn around and have a proper discussion with Li Lin. However, as soon as she turned around, she was subdued by Master Li's shocking shout and then swept to the ground by a sweeping leg.

It is clear that Li Lin, who lacks martial ethics, had been plotting this for a long time.

By the time Kaedehara Manyo and the headmaster realized what was happening, Master Li, who had done the dirty work, was already sitting on the back of the Tengu, lost in thought about life.

Kaedehara Manyo felt he should be furious, or at least show some emotional reaction, but he wasn't surprised by this turn of events, and even felt a little smug about Kujo Sara's defeat.

It's certainly good to defeat the enemy fair and square, but it's not necessarily bad to use underhanded methods to quickly resolve the situation, since duels in front of the emperor are essentially no-rules duels.

The victor gets to meet Thor, while the loser is executed by Thor with a single blow.

So it seems like winning or losing doesn't really matter?

Anyway, they're all going to get a taste of the cheesy movie's pun.

Realizing this, Li Lin was so angry that he slapped his thigh repeatedly—not his own, of course, but Kujo Sara's; he was afraid of hurting himself if he slapped his own.

At this moment, the nine Sara on the ground slowly awoke.

"You are attacking important officials in Inazuma."

Kujo Sara did not make a move against Li Lin, or rather, she was in no condition to do so. More importantly, she seemed to realize that she was no match for someone as shameless as Li Lin.

So she resorted to language to achieve her goal.

Li Lin, his neck stiff with anger, shouted, "It was clearly you who attacked me, the Rock King Emperor! I will report you to the Heavenly Court!"

"Hehehe, you don't want Lei Yingdian to be called into Tianli's office, do you?"

Unfortunately, no one believed that Li Lin was the new Rock King Emperor, which made Li Lin feel extremely unfulfilled.

"Oops, did I let it slip?" Li Lin said, unwilling to give up. "Actually, I am the Rock King Emperor. If each of you donates one million Mora to me now, I will appoint you as kings of equal rank in the future."

Even Kujo Sara, who was sitting on his butt, began to complain with a hint of weariness: "The ruling class in the mortal world would not simply divide up their territory like that."

Moreover, isn't Li Lin a member of the Rock King Emperor's retinue? How come all the retinues of gods are so arrogant?

However, when Kujo Sara thought of Inazuma's Yae-no-miya priest, she could roughly understand it.

"You don't seem to realize what kind of environment you're in," Li Lin chuckled. "I hope some of you, the fish and turtles, will recognize your place."

Kaedehara Manyo, standing to the side with his hands in his pockets, gave Li Lin a bad idea: "Since you're going to have a duel in front of the emperor sooner or later, and it'll most likely be against Kujo Sara, why don't we just consider this the result of a duel in front of the emperor?"

"What a delightful duel!" Li Lin gave Kujo Sara a thumbs-up. "Well played."
