Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 549 - 4: Demon Lord
A short time later, Lin Jing finally got his hands on a smartphone, and the moment he held this device, his emotional turbulence was even more intense than when he was holding the celestial-grade ore.
Huang Qianyun and Huang Zhixin stood not far from Lin Jing, watching this ancient cultivator expertly operate the latest model of smartphone, they were bewildered - wasn’t he supposed to be an elder just awakened from ancient times? How could he be so skilled with a phone?
Or perhaps, he had already been awake for some time and learned how to use a smartphone from the tourists who climbed the mountain.
Then, Lin Jing pondered, recalling his QQ account and password...
This recollection took quite a while, causing Huang Qianyun to break into a sweat.
"Elder..." He couldn’t help but interrupt Lin Jing’s thoughts, speaking softly, "Elder, since you’re from the ancient times, would you like me to help you contact the Taoist Alliance and register your identity?"
"Taoist Alliance?"
"Yes, that way, no matter where you go next, it will be very convenient. Also, things are different now compared to ancient times; many things can’t be done without a legal identity."
In Huang Zhixin’s memories, Lin Jing had already learned that the Taoist Alliance seemed to be the official organization responsible for overseeing cultivators, with many Foundation Establishment experts in residence.
"No time."
He replied indifferently, continuing to recall his account and password, which left Huang Qianyun rather helpless.
He was well aware that such an elder from ancient times would surely be unwilling to be regulated.
"I’ve got nothing left to do here, you can leave first..."
Lin Jing began to dismiss them, but just then, a sudden commotion arose in the distance, accompanied by a loud noise, and a giant serpent, spanning a hundred meters, quickly slithered over.
The disturbance from this Snake Demon did not affect Lin Jing’s recollection, but it did make Huang Qianyun’s complexion change in shock, not understanding why this great immortal would suddenly arrive.
Just about to take his leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Demon Beast?!"
Upon seeing this demon beast, Huang Zhixin’s face turned pale; when did she ever see such a potent Demon Power presence? Beside her, Huang Qianyun patted her shoulder, signaling her not to be nervous.
"This is Huang Mountain Demon Lord, a demon beast recognized by the Taoist Alliance, don’t be afraid."
Upon hearing her grandfather say this, Huang Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief, albeit she was startled to learn for the first time that within Huang Mountain, there existed such a formidable demon.
Could it be that the commotion caused by Lin Jing’s departure was what attracted the opponent here?
However, since her grandfather mentioned that this was a demon beast acknowledged by the Taoist Alliance, she felt at ease.
At least... it should not act aggressively.
"Greetings to the Demon Lord elder." As the Snake Demon approached, Huang Qianyun and Huang Zhixin paid their respects courteously.
The Snake Demon’s massive head lifted, gazing at the three of them. It seemed to recognize Huang Qianyun, and directly asked, "Just now, I sensed in my sleep that an extraordinary treasure had emerged here, where is the treasure?"
Huang Qianyun bitterly smiled, "Elder, you sensed wrongly, there is no treasure; it was just this elder coming out of seclusion, causing a fluctuation of spiritual power."
"Elder, this is Demon Lord elder, the hidden great demon of this place. You don’t need to worry, Demon Lord elder has made a pact with the Taoist Alliance, promising not to hurt humans," he turned and informed Lin Jing.
"Indeed, but it’s also promised that Huang Mountain is given to me, preventing Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from coming here to compete with me for Spiritual Qi..." The Snake Lord squinted its eyes, staring at Lin Jing, discovering more and more of Lin Jing’s extraordinariness.
"Also, who says there is no treasure here? Isn’t he one?" The Snake Lord’s eyes grew more strangely demonic, as it slowly detected a tempting aroma emanating from Lin Jing!
Longevity Immortal Body!
Longevity Immortal Body, even in the ancient immortal realm Earth where extraordinary physiques abound, is still a rare and extremely tempting delicacy for demon beasts.
It’s no wonder this Snake Demon, recognizing Lin Jing’s unique nature in an instant, although it was also due to Lin Jing being undefeated for too long, making him indifferent to concealing his Longevity Immortal Body.
"Ah?!"
At this moment, upon hearing the Snake Demon’s words, both Huang family members were stupefied, not understanding the intent...
"Haha..." Ignored the Snake Demon all along, Lin Jing, irritated by the incorrect password, sensed the Snake Demon’s desire, and finally spoke up.
"How many years has it been, how many years since a demon beast dared to covet my flesh? Your sense of smell is sharp."
"However, is it good to so blatantly display the desire to eat humans? Is this what your safeguard taught you?"
Lin Jing shattered the Snake Demon’s inner thoughts, causing Huang Qianyun beside him to narrow his pupils.
Demon Lord... could it be wanting to eat the elder?
"How could that be? I wonder how this Daoist friend is addressed..." The Snake Demon indeed wanted to consume Lin Jing’s flesh, but it couldn’t discern Lin Jing’s cultivation.
Its Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation, even on this planet, was top-notch.
The opponent surely had a magical treasure to hide cultivation.
First, understand the opponent’s situation, then figure out how to devour him!
"You are not worthy to know." However, Lin Jing’s next words caused the Snake Demon to immediately show an angry expression.
"Courting death." It roared furiously, this land, when had anyone dared speak to it this way.
Beside him, Huang Qianyun’s complexion also turned pale instantly, never expecting this ancient elder to be so irritable.
Finished.
His first thought was that they were doomed.
Huang Qianyun heard rumors that this Demon Lord was extremely powerful, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators were not its match, which is why, when facing a demon beast, the Taoist Alliance sought friendliness and made a pact with it.
If it were any weak demon beast, it would have long been slain.
Giving Huang Mountain to it, making it its abode, was in the hope that someday they could leverage its power.
Offending such a great demon, even if this elder was at Foundation Establishment stage, the prospects were bleak.
He grabbed his granddaughter’s hand, ready to escape at any moment to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
But next moment.
Boom!
What awaited the Snake Demon was only Lin Jing flipping his hand, squeezing, while the Snake Demon was held by some invisible force, suspended in the air.
"Only to this extent, not qualified to become my Daoist friend."
The Snake Demon’s eyes were filled with terror, shock.
"You..." The Snake Demon was frozen, its mind overwhelmed with fear, unable to struggle, gazing in shocked terror at the human who casually controlled it.
"Old man, you just mentioned this beast had made a pact with that Taoist Alliance, promising not to harm anyone, so why did I see traces of human consumption on it? Within a year, it has consumed at least fifty living humans... This Taoist Alliance is not clean, right?" Lin Jing looked at Huang Qianyun, leaving Huang Qianyun at a loss for words from shock.
Not knowing whether to be shocked at Lin Jing flipping his hand to crush the Demon Lord, or at the Demon Lord secretly eating humans, violating its pact with the Taoist Alliance.
"You... you... I am sworn brothers with the ancestor of the Zhuang family... you... dare..." The Demon Lord under Lin Jing’s grip wanted to say something, but Lin Jing shook his head.
"Never mind, why should I care so much, just remember in your next life not to want to eat everything."
Bang.
Lin Jing directly crushed the Snake Demon, its blood and flesh exploding in all directions. Lin Jing waved to the two Qi Cultivation cultivators nearby, saying, "Alright, you can go."
"Well, this scattered snake meat, consider it a reward."
