Bai Lin is half-demon, his mother is half-demon, and his father is human. Bai Lin grew up in the demon clan’s territory and was taught to be loyal to the demon clan. He is a demon in life and will be a demon in death.
Bai Lin is currently in the late Jindan stage. When the human and demon races were at war, Bai Lin wanted to go to the front line to fight and make achievements, but was stopped by his mother. She used her connections to transfer him to Chijiao Island, where he was responsible for patrolling the sea. Although he did not make any great achievements, he was safe.
He complained at first, thinking that his mother was ignorant of the overall situation and did not allow him to achieve success. However, the war was too fierce. It had been going on for more than a year, and both the human and demon races suffered heavy losses. Many of Bai Lin's friends were killed. Then he understood his mother's painstaking efforts.
On this day, Bai Lin, as usual, brought more than 20 tribesmen and drove dolphins to patrol the sea.
There are seven people in his patrol team who are at the Jindan stage, and the rest are at the foundation-building stage.
White clouds and sea breeze.
A dozen white dolphins emerged from the sea and moved slowly forward.
"It would be great if I could fight on the front lines. My cousin killed five Jindan cultivators and made a great contribution. He also obtained a large amount of immortal cultivation resources. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be able to advance to the Yuanying stage in a hundred years."
An obese middle-aged man sighed, his face full of envy.
There were some blue scales on the middle-aged man's arms and neck, and a row of golden spikes on his shoulders.
"Lan Hong, you are only in the early stage of Jindan. You will definitely die if you go to the front line. You'd better just patrol! You won't have any great achievements, but you won't be in danger of your life. Many people died on the front line. It's safer in the rear."
Bai Lin patted the middle-aged man's arm and comforted him.
"The rear may not be safe either. Didn't the higher-ups order us to be on high alert? Be on guard against sneak attacks by the human race."
Bai Lin chuckled and said, "This is the rear area, tens of millions of miles away from the front line. The human race should not attack us..."
Before he could finish his words, the sea water below rolled violently and suddenly exploded. Countless blue waves flew up and turned into blue water arrows, heading straight towards Bai Lin and others.
The incident happened suddenly and they had no time to prepare. Fortunately, they were half-demons and their bodies were relatively strong.
Several half-demons in the foundation-building stage were pierced like sieves by dense blue water arrows. They fell from the white dolphin and landed in the sea, and their blood spread along the sea water.
There were many bloodstains on the white-scaled body, and the bleeding did not stop. Blue scales grew on the body, and a misty blue water curtain protected the whole body.
"Send out a warning talisman quickly and inform the clan."
Bai Lin urged hurriedly, and took out a golden talisman. Before he could send it out, the void above his head fluctuated, a black light flashed, and a small tower with flickering black light suddenly appeared above their heads.
There were two ferocious ghost patterns engraved on the body of the small black tower. They seemed to come alive and made "woooo" howling sounds. The small black tower grew at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a huge black tower over a hundred feet in size.
As the huge black tower appeared, it immediately emitted a dark glow that covered the face.
Bai Lin and the others were horrified and wanted to cast spells to resist, but the two ferocious ghosts on the surface of the black tower let out a shrill "woooo" ghost howl, and Bai Lin felt dizzy and dazed.
When he came to his senses, the black light had already covered him.
A dozen half-demons shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye and were sucked into the black giant tower by the black light.
A blue light suddenly appeared on the sea surface more than ten miles away, revealing Lan Hong's figure.
Lan Hong looked panicked. It was impossible for anyone other than a Nascent Soul cultivator to capture his companion so easily. He had to inform his clansmen. As for him, there was no possibility of survival.
He threw the golden talisman in his hand high into the sky. The golden talisman turned into a golden light and flew towards the sky at an extremely fast speed.
A ray of white light flew out from the bottom of the sea and hit the golden light, which instantly froze and was frozen.
The white light was actually a round wheel shining with white light, emitting bursts of biting coldness.
The white round wheel suddenly lit up with countless white runes, and the light of escape increased greatly, instantly appearing in front of Lan Hong. Before he could react, the white round wheel spun rapidly, spewing out a white cold air, hitting Lan Hong's body.
Lan Hong froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, turned into an ice sculpture, and fell into the sea.
A beam of white light flew out from the bottom of the sea, picked up the frozen Lan Hong, and flew towards a small island.
The huge black tower shrank rapidly and flew towards the island.
The island is only a hundred miles long, with an undulating mountain range in the southeast. The white light and the black tower fall into a small valley. The valley is overgrown with weeds, and at the end there is a cave about ten feet in size, with the entrance blocked by weeds.
The escaping light faded, and the white light was revealed to be Fairy Hanyue.
True Man Tiansha walked out of the cave and with a wave of his hand, a small black tower flew into his hand.
"You succeeded! Let's go in and talk."
True Man Tiansha waved his sleeves, turned around and walked into the cave, and Fairy Hanyue hurriedly followed him.
After walking more than a hundred steps, they arrived at the end. A cave about an acre in size appeared in front of them. Han Zhangxiang and many other cultivators gathered in the cave. Together with Tiansha Zhenren and Hanyue Fairy, there were exactly eighty people.
They wanted to capture the demon patrol alive and search their souls to investigate the situation on Chijiao Island.
Tiansha Zhenren shook his wrist, and the small black tower flew out, floating in the sky. He cast a spell, and the size of the small black tower suddenly increased, emitting a black light, and Bai Lin and others flew out of it.
As soon as they appeared, Chen Xiong held a small mirror with shining blue light and pointed it at Bai Lin and others.
"Certainly!"
Chen Xiong let out a low shout, and the surface of the small blue mirror lit up. Countless blue runes emerged, emitting a blue hazy light that covered Bai Lin and the others. They seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
Fairy Hanyue and several other Nascent Soul cultivators stepped forward, searched the souls of Bai Lin and others, and investigated the situation on Chijiao Island.
After a while of communication, they got some useful information.
There are at least eight Yuanying stage demons stationed on Chijiao Island, not counting the fourth-level demon beasts and fourth-level demon birds. There is a teleportation array on the island, so if it is attacked, reinforcements will probably arrive soon.
Jiao Tianhai is the leader and has the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
This was expected. Chijiao Island was a stronghold that the demon clan had operated for many years, and it must be connected to other strongholds.
"It is really difficult to destroy the Red Dragon Island. Once we attack the Red Dragon Island, we must destroy the Red Dragon Palace as quickly as possible. The teleportation array is in the Red Dragon Palace, and there may be other teleportation arrays. We must fight quickly and it is best to get rid of a few Yuanying stage monsters first."
Fairy Hanyue suggested that since Jiao Tianhai had the body of a dragon, it would not be easy to kill him, so it would be better to choose other targets.
Chen Xiong nodded, looked at the other Nascent Soul cultivators, and asked sincerely: "If you have any suggestions, just speak up. Time is tight. If we delay too long, the demon tribe may find the problem."
"I have a Nine Yang Spirit Control Talisman, which can control a half-demon in the Jindan stage and tell him to do whatever he wants."
Liang Zhange took out a talisman with flowing golden light. The golden talisman had amazing spiritual energy and was obviously a fourth-level talisman.
"It's not enough to control only one half-demon. We can't kill the others! If we do that, it will definitely alert the demon tribe."
True Man Chihe said with a frown.
"Tell them to keep quiet. Fellow Daoists, disguise yourself as Jindan cultivators, pretend to be captured by the demons, sneak into the Red Dragon Island, report to the Yuanying stage demons, and then take action against the Yuanying stage demons."
Tiansha Zhenren gave his suggestions.
"It's easy to stop them from talking, but how can we let them move freely? The demons guarding the entrance are not that easy to fool."
Fairy Hanyue asked doubtfully.
"Kill them all, practice to refine corpses, and then use corpse beetles to contain the corpse qi. It won't be difficult to hide it from the monsters guarding the entrance. However, there are certain risks in doing so. Once your identity is exposed, you will most likely be besieged by the monsters."
Tiansha Zhenren's face was solemn. They could not take over Chijiao Island in a short period of time by force. Once the reinforcements from the demon tribe arrived, they would be in trouble.
The best way is to cooperate inside and outside. A group of people can sneak into Chijiao Island to cooperate inside and outside, but the monks who enter Chijiao Island will take a great risk.
They discussed for more than half an hour before reaching a consensus. They selected ten monks, disguised them as captured human monks, and followed Bai Lin into Chijiao Island to cooperate from inside and outside.
Fairy Hanyue, Liang Zhange, True Man Chihe and ten other Nascent Soul cultivators disguised themselves as captured cultivators and followed the half-demon into the Chijiao Island. Chen Xiong led the rest of the people to support them outside. Once they received the signal, they would immediately lead their men to attack the Chijiao Island.
There is no other island within a thousand miles of Chijiao Island. This was done intentionally by the demon clan. In other words, if no signal is seen, there will naturally be no support. For this reason, Chen Xiong selected ten Jindan cultivators to observe on the seabed to ensure that they could provide timely support to Fairy Hanyue and others.
Among the sixty Jindan cultivators, twenty are in the late Jindan stage. Han Zhangxiang was chosen by Chen Xiong mainly because he had no backing.
Han Zhangxiang didn't say anything and agreed obediently.
Liang Zhange slapped the Xuanguan Lingfu on Bai Lin. With a flash of spiritual light, the talisman disappeared. Bai Lin's facial features were distorted, as if he was resisting.
After a while, Bai Lin returned to normal and looked no different from usual.
Gu Feilong flicked his wrist and a black light flew out. It turned out to be a strange bird with black air wrapped around its body. The strange bird had three bald heads, with a bright red fleshy crown on the middle head and emerald green eyeballs.
"Ghost Dove, Brother Gu actually raised this kind of vicious bird."
Fairy Hanyue was surprised and said that it was rumored that the ghost dove was born in the innate foul air and was born with a pair of ghost eyes. It could restrain demons and monsters, and was proficient in the secret art of seducing souls and could hurt the invisible enemies.
This ghost dove is only of the third-grade upper grade, but its soul-snatching secret technique can also pose a threat to Nascent Soul cultivators.
If the Ghost Dove wants to advance, it needs to devour a large number of demons, monsters, spirits of monsters, or the souls of cultivators.
The ghost dove let out a noisy scream, and a black light spurted out from each of its three heads, covering the half-demons except Bai Lin. An astonishing scene appeared. The souls of these half-demons quickly left their bodies and were sucked into the ghost dove's mouth by the black light and disappeared.
More than twenty half-demons fell down one after another, without any scars on their bodies and with dull eyes.
