How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

the next day.

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are the largest gathering place of demons within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The demon-hunting team of Wuming Town only dares to operate on its outskirts, because once they enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, they will face terrifying demon king-level monsters, or even the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

For many years, the demon-hunting group has been hunting in the outer areas, but their targets are only demons below the third level of the Creation Realm. They dare not offend the truly powerful demons.

In the deep, silent forest, the group filed forward. The veterans of the demon-hunting team had been here countless times; each carried a weapon, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily, ready to kill any ambushing demons at any moment.

Especially the ten members of the Wilderness Demon Hunting Team, who had been working together for many years and had long since developed a tacit understanding, stood in a semi-circle, while Yuwen Zhan stood at the very front of the team. They only needed to exchange a glance to know what to do next.

As for those martial artists who formed temporary teams, they were all seasoned veterans who had experienced countless battles. Each of them found a suitable position to follow the team, and they were clearly not ordinary people.

Only Li Xianjiu and Li Muyun seemed out of place. Li Xianjiu, using some kind of magic, had her wine gourd grow taller than a person, floating horizontally about half a meter above the ground. She sat cross-legged on the gourd the whole way, sipping small amounts of wine from a small bottle, occasionally letting out a hissing sound, drawing everyone's attention. Her long, white legs swung back and forth on the gourd, and her large, snow-white breasts were faintly visible through her hempen clothes.

Li Muyun walked beside Li Xianjiu. His aura was heavy. Although he looked incredibly light in his white robes, every step he took left a footprint, as if he weighed a thousand pounds.

Li Muyun wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but smile wryly. This rabbit-shaped tenfold gravity was really toughening. Under these circumstances, even if he did nothing, the true essence in his body was constantly circulating, even faster than when he usually sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Suddenly, a chill swept over him, and Li Muyun tensed up instantly.

"hiss!"

A bright green snake, hidden in the grass, suddenly attacked, biting the nearest burly man.

This emerald green serpent is two meters long and entirely emerald green. It possesses the cultivation level of Earth Profound Realm and has always been hidden among the green grass. If it does not attack or reveal its aura, no one will notice it at all.

The burly man was startled and hurriedly grabbed his longsword to defend himself, but the emerald green serpent was exceptionally agile. Its triangular head turned in the air, dodging the longsword, and viciously bit at the man's neck.

Li Muyun flicked his wrist, and the black iron needle transformed into a cold light that shot out and instantly pierced the eye of the emerald green demon snake.

With a splatter, blood splattered everywhere. The beast screamed in pain and spat out a mouthful of poison gas. The big man couldn't dodge in time and could only raise his hand to block. In an instant, the big man let out a painful scream. His arm seemed to be corroded by sulfuric acid, and the white bone was exposed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn beast!"

With a loud shout, the huge axe crashed down, smashing the green serpent's head to pieces. The immense force caused the ground to tremble.

Yuwen Zhan looked at the poisoned man, raised his axe, and said in a deep voice, "This arm is beyond saving."

The big man was also a ruthless one. He gritted his teeth, swung his long sword and severed his own arm. Blood gushed out, and his face turned ashen instantly.

Li Xianjiu sighed softly, then released a burst of true energy, immediately stopping the burly man's bleeding. She said to him, "You were really careless. You can't continue like this. Fortunately, we're not far from the town, so you should go back. Your injuries are quite serious. Go to the Sanbao Medicine Pavilion, and they will treat you and give you all your payment."

The burly man was so moved he didn't know what to say. "Fairy Li, I'm sorry, I..."

Li Xianjiu waved her hand, "Alright, let's go back quickly."

This little incident made the entire team even more vigilant; they had only just entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and already lost one person. The danger here was self-evident. However, everyone nodded repeatedly in approval of Li Muyun's strength and reaction. If it weren't for Li Muyun's intervention, that big man would have lost more than just an arm; he probably wouldn't have even lost his life.

"Xiao Yunyun reacted well, but her attack wasn't ruthless enough." Li Xianjiu said, swinging her long legs. "Sigh, it's so annoying to come out with a team. I need to unleash my divine sense and make sure they don't lose any more members."

Li Muyun scratched his head sheepishly. Indeed, he had participated in far too few life-or-death battles like this. If he had been able to quickly pursue the Flying Dagger, he might have been able to instantly kill the Emerald Serpent. Yuwen Zhan was clearly a seasoned veteran, someone who, when he struck, was sure to kill.

The team continued deeper into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. They only had a rough idea of ​​where the mage was trapped, so they had to search a large area. Along the way, they encountered several more attacks from demonic beasts, but no further casualties were reported. Li Xianjiu's extended divine sense acted like radar; whenever a demonic beast entered within ten meters of the group, Li Xianjiu would alert them, and the group would swarm and kill it.

If she encountered a particularly troublesome venomous snake or creature, Li Xianjiu would unleash a sword strike, cleaving it in two.

Li Muyun also made a few moves during this period. The size and speed of the magical artifact controlled by the immortals are closely related to their own strength. He also practiced controlling the magical artifact given to him by His Highness the Prince of Qin along the way.

This longsword is called the Thunder Sword. It can be used to add lightning attacks. Because the King of Qin knew that Li Muyun practiced the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and this sword was a perfect match for Li Muyun's attributes, he gave it to Li Muyun.

The longsword was much more difficult to wield than the Flying Dagger or the Xuan Tie Needle, given their size difference of dozens of times. Fortunately, the practice along the way had made Li Muyun much more familiar with it. Just now, arcs of electricity crackled in Li Muyun's hand, all of which he channeled into the Thunder Sword. The Thunder Sword, crackling with lightning, transformed into a blue-purple stream of light that pierced the head of a half-step Earth Profound Realm Cloud Leopard, exploding with a deafening roar and shattering it to pieces.

Although everyone present was a seasoned demon hunter who had seen the world, they still couldn't help but marvel at the dazzling and magnificent magic.

"Young man, you've already achieved such cultivation at such a young age, your future is limitless!" Yuwen Zhan came to Li Muyun's side and patted his shoulder meaningfully.

Li Muyun frowned imperceptibly. This Yuwen Zhan seemed rugged, but Li Muyun always felt that there was another side hidden beneath his appearance.

For example, with the first green demon snake, Li Xianjiu was drinking and couldn't act in time. But Yuwen Zhan was clearly a half-step Heavenly Profound, so why didn't he act immediately? Could it be that he was not as good as Li Muyun?

Nodding, Li Muyun subtly avoided Yuwen Zhan's hand.

A flash of coldness appeared in Yuwen Zhan's eyes, then vanished, replaced by a forced smile...
