Immortal through Beast Taming

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly ambushed by a Yin Corpse Sect cultivator, the Red Armor Demon Exterminator's pupils shrunk.

"You want to ask why I didn't chase that kid?"

"Since I've already fully utilized the Heavenly Corpse Transformation, naturally I can't let you benefit in the end."

"After this battle, my cultivation level might drop to Foundation Establishment, but if I can obtain a Golden Core Corpse Puppet, it's not too much of a loss. With my qualifications, forming a Nascent Soul is hopeless anyway."

"With a Golden Core Corpse Puppet, forming a supreme Corpse Pill to achieve a fake core won't have too much of an impact."

The Yin Corpse Sect cultivator coldly said, "That little ghost escaped quickly, but the control of the Five Element Corpse Puppet has returned to me, perfectly suited to deal with you first."

"You don't need to worry, my Heavenly Corpse Transformation will last a while longer. Once I deal with you, I'll find him and kill him too, preserving your good reputation."

The first act of the Yin Corpse Sect Leader after his power surged was to ambush the Red Armor Demon Exterminator. Seeing this, Mo Song couldn't help but comment, "This Yin Corpse Sect brat makes more sense. That Demon Exterminator relaxed his vigilance in front of a Demon Cultivator. How foolish."

"Kid, was this part of your plan too?"

"I merely suspected it was possible, so I tried to return control of the Five Element Corpse Puppet, giving him some additional fighting power. Unlike ordinary cultivators, Yin Corpse Sect cultivators master the Corpse Pill Technique, and even if they fall to Foundation Establishment, they can form a fake core and even turn the enemy itself into a corpse puppet to enhance their strength."

"When his power increases greatly, the possibility of him sparing this Demon Exterminator is extremely low."

"However, the best case would have been if the Red Armor Demon Exterminator reacted immediately, realizing that the Yin Corpse Sect cultivator would strike him first, resulting in mutual destruction. Unfortunately, he didn't react, thinking the common enemy was still me."

"Luckily, with the current situation, it's become much simpler. Once his divine technique's effect wears off... I can take care of him."

"I might even say that even if I leave now, he's already afflicted with the Ice Soul Gu's poison and won't last long." Lin Jing's gaze flickered.

Just like when Senior Brother Ouyang was afflicted with the Ice Soul Gu poison, with no one able to save him.

The mental communication between Mo Song and Lin Jing was not overheard by the twin-bodied disciples held by the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

The two still felt fear; although they had escaped the grasp of the Yin Corpse Sect, falling into the hands of a suspected Gu God Sect demon cultivator didn't seem to promise a better outcome.

"Senior, since he has no way out, please take action to end him."

"Why not handle it yourself? You haven't killed anyone yet!"

"Once the Red Armor Demon Exterminator dies, I bet the Demon Extermination Bureau branch he belongs to will immediately know. I think he's not the only one colluding with the demon sect. Instead of wasting time on this Yin Corpse Sect cultivator, perhaps we should..."

"Those spoils will be mine then." Mo Song sighed, feeling that two early-stage Golden Cores were too weak for Lin Jing to practice upon.

Lin Jing: ???

Pfff!

Suddenly, a branch of a pine tree pierced through the chest of the Yin Corpse Sect cultivator who was preparing to find Lin Jing. The leader of this demon sect had a trace of blood in his eyes and suddenly realized he had been outplayed from the beginning.

Meanwhile, with both Golden Core cultivators now dead, Lin Jing took out a Jade Talisman.

Although he had several Demon Extermination Bureau tokens on him, only this Jade Talisman could enable contact.

It was given by Gao Sheng, but he couldn't reach his Divinity Transformation grandfather.

Given by the Child Immortal, it was even more impossible to contact that Void Profound Old Monster of his.

Only the Jade Talisman given by Ling Yue Sword Immortal Feng Ning could contact this Demon Extermination Bureau's exceptional talent.

Although Ling Yue Sword Immortal herself only had Golden Core cultivation, as a disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect Void Profound Sword Ancestor, even Gao Sheng would have to kneel and call her sister. Within the Demon Extermination Bureau, she surely held significant authority.

Lin Jing thought it better to notify the internal parties than to take action himself.

Lin Jing activated the Jade Slip, and the next moment, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

"Is that you, Lin Jing?"

"You've finally activated the Jade Slip. Have you changed your mind and decided to join the Demon Extermination Bureau?" From the other side, Ling Yue Sword Immortal's voice came through: "I heard you've made it to the Talent List, congratulations."

"Immortal, I've already joined the Demon Extermination Bureau under the invitation of Senior Child Immortal."

From the other side, Ling Yue Sword Immortal's surprised voice, "Senior Child Immortal personally invited you."

After Lin Jing briefly explained the circumstances leading to his joining the Demon Extermination Bureau, he mentioned the collusion between the local branch leader and the demon sect, to which Ling Yue Sword Immortal's tone turned icy.

"You've done well. This might not just be a problem of one Demon Extermination Bureau branch but rather that of many branches across a large region, which have become infested. I'll contact my friends at the Celestial Expanse's Demon Extermination Bureau to handle this."

"Handling it on your own might be very difficult."

"Indeed." Lin Jing nodded.

"But being able to handle two Golden Core cultivators, fighting as a Qi Cultivation stage against Golden Core—that news will shake the Ancient Country."

Lin Jing shook his head, "It was just the power of the Ice Soul Gu. You wouldn't expect my feats to be solely achievable with my Qi Cultivation stage capabilities, would you, Immortal?"

Ling Yue Sword Immortal responded, "I naturally know that the power of a Guardian Dao Cultivator depends on the beasts they control, but not everyone is aware of your possession of the Ice Soul Gu. Moreover, most ignorant people won't care if you're a Guardian Dao Cultivator, have higher cultivation helping you, or rely on external forces. As long as you're known for 'Qi Cultivation fighting Golden Core,' there's fame to be gained."

"I know several friends who graduated from the Hidden Dragon Academy. Their stories, comparable to 'Qi Cultivation fighting Golden Core,' are equally outrageous, albeit people believe them. It's partly thanks to such tales that the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique remains viable."

"True." Lin Jing did not deny it, indeed realizing that if there were too many smart individuals, ordinary academy students would have a hard time exploiting the anecdotes to train in the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique.

Regrettably, he didn't have Bai Yuran from the Celestial Secret Tower with him to pen the news, making him appreciate the importance of having a Celestial Secret Tower disciple nearby.

After a while, Lin Jing and Feng Ning ended their exchange. Ling Yue Sword Immortal intended to entrust friends with the investigation into the internal matters of the Demon Extermination Bureau. Lin Jing did not dwell further on it. Such black-and-white collusion must not be limited to just the Celestial Expanse, and from now on, he had to be more cautious when dealing with Ancient Country officials and cultivators to avoid being betrayed.

"You both..." Lin Jing's gaze finally returned to the twin-bodied disciples, saying, "Introduce yourselves."

"How did you get captured by the Yin Corpse Sect, and do you have any special physique?"

Seeing the Demon Extermination Bureau Gu Cultivator, who had remained silent for a while, finally speak up, the two twins were drenched in sweat. The boy was more timid, seemingly frightened, whereas the girl mustered the courage to speak, "Re-responding, Senior."

"We are disciples of the Jiang Family from Celestial Water City, possessing a Twin Body, and were captured by the Yin Corpse Sect while outside."

"Twin Body?" Lin Jing was taken aback, while Mo Song's voice transmitted, "Twin Body, that's a rare physique with diverse uses. Kid, if you're going to do a good deed, grant them a fortuitous opportunity—make them your human pets. A dignified Saint Heir can't have all his followers be animal companions, right?"
