Chapter 47
Lin Queli condensed his spiritual energy, his fingers like a sword. A thousand feet of spiritual energy instantly came from the heavens and earth, stabbing in all directions!
After the thick smoke cleared, Lin Queli discovered that he had been moved to the bottom of the cliff. He was surrounded by Lin Luo’s killing formation. The sharp blades condensed from spiritual energy in the killing formation were originally about to pierce him, but he had dissolved them all and even returned them to Lin Luo.
Opposite him, a young man who looked similar to him but lacked his delicate beauty and had a more gloomy look—Lin Luo—was now hit by the reflected spiritual energy and thrown several miles away. After falling heavily to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was pitch black at the bottom of the cliff, with only a few rays of light coming from above.
In the darkness, Lin Luo looked even more sinister and terrifying.
Lin Queli’s eyes widened.
“Da Zhuang, I think I’m really amazing!”
【Host, you are the Demon Lord! Of course you are amazing, but you are not yet very good at using it, so it is not recommended that you rely too much on your own spiritual energy here! What if you can’t use it next time?】
Lin Queli thought to himself, that’s true. This isn’t a life-or-death situation yet, and I’m already forcing out my potential.
But fooling Lin Luo… should be enough!
At least now, Lin Luo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and looked at him sinisterly, his eyes fixed, but he didn’t attack again, thinking of killing him in one blow.
He probably also knew Lin Queli’s identity as a transmigrator, so he was a little surprised that Lin Queli had actually exchanged for and had the strength of the Demon Lord.
Lin Queli took a deep breath and, imitating Helan Xue, put on a stern face and said, “What… is your purpose?”
“Purpose?” Lin Luo suddenly smiled. He smiled brightly, like an ignorant and pure child. “Does killing you count?”
“…” A chill ran down Lin Queli’s spine. He thought to himself, this guy must have deceived Immortal Lord Changming and the Changming Clan like this before.
Lin Queli said, “You can’t kill me.”
Lin Luo remained silent, staring at Lin Queli, as if he were examining something.
Lin Queli secretly swallowed hard. He felt that the young man’s gaze was like a poisonous snake.
Just then, Lin Luo glanced at the top of the cliff, at the sky filled with dark thunder. “Taxue Xianzun is coming soon.”
Although Lin Luo’s fate would not be good when Helan Xue arrived, Lin Queli felt that he, this liar, would probably be worse off.
There was no point in them being at a stalemate here!
Lin Queli said, “What is your purpose in binding with the system? Why do you want to destroy this world? This is the place where you grew up!”
He decided to probe Lin Luo’s thoughts and see if they could make a deal.
Lin Luo sneered. “So what if I grew up here? Has this world ever shown me any kindness?”
Lin Queli had a pained expression.
A chuunibyou teenager who wants to destroy the world!
But thinking about it, it was also reasonable. During the time he had replaced Lin Luo, he had never felt any kindness from the Changming Clan, except for Immortal Lord Changming… ah!
Lin Queli said, “Then what about Immortal Lord Changming? I remember he treated you well. Do you want to destroy the world with Immortal Lord Changming in it? Aren’t you afraid of disappointing him?”
Lin Luo was stunned, but his gaze became even colder as he looked at him.
He murmured, “You have to be alive… to be disappointed.”
【Host! I’ve turned on Bluetooth!】
Lin Queli: “?”
To suddenly blurt out such a sentence during such a serious negotiation made him dazed for a moment.
W-what Bluetooth?
【I’ve detected the other system’s driver program. By the same token, the other side can also know ours, but it doesn’t matter. Our program is just to sleep with the Immortal Venerable, get close to the Immortal Venerable to earn points, and repair the plot… besides being a little embarrassing, it’s harmless!】
“…”
“It’s not a little embarrassing, it’s very embarrassing!!”
【But Host, it’s worth it to exchange for information on the other driver program! Lin Luo, he…】
Thump—!
The formation that had been hiding their tracks suddenly shattered and shook at this moment. Lin Queli felt the ground he was stepping on tremble violently.
Ah, ah, ah, ah!!
That god of death, Helan Xue, is coming—!
Lin Luo on the other side reacted quickly and immediately used a teleportation array to leave.
Lin Queli also quickly activated his formation.
【The formation will activate in five seconds—】
【Five!】
【Four!】
Looking at Lin Luo, who was already gone, Lin Queli wanted to cry but had no tears. “Da Zhuang, why can he always escape so quickly, and my formations are all one-time use?!”
【Host, the destruction system and the childbirth… ah, ptooey, the repair system’s item store are different! They mostly have combat items, while we have lifestyle items!】
【Three!】
Lin Queli saw a golden light rise, illuminating the entire dark bottom of the cliff.
At the same time, frost and snow floated around him, and Lin Queli couldn’t help but shiver.
【Two!】
The surrounding scenery began to blur, and Lin Queli was about to complete the teleportation.
He vaguely saw a white figure.
Lin Queli met those cold golden eyes in the swirling spiritual energy.
The next moment, a terrifying wave of spiritual energy came from the white figure, accompanied by the sound of shattering jade and tearing silk.
“…!”
“Whoa—!”
Lin Queli squatted down in fear and subconsciously used his spiritual energy to resist, but this was a drop in the bucket.
The spiritual energy hit him, and he felt the brocade pouch containing the Sky Frost Flower on his waist being snatched away.
【One!】
【Formation activated!】
When Lin Queli opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the familiar cave.
He propped himself up on the stone bed and spat out a mouthful of blood, panting, and his whole body felt numb.
Although he had escaped in time, he had still been hit.
Lin Queli trembled all over, and the fear of death almost made him burst into tears.
Sob, sob, sob…
It’s like meeting Helan Xue for the first time again!
But although the other side’s formation was very powerful, Lin Queli was unharmed. There were no wounds on his body, only his whole body was aching from the shock of the spiritual energy.
Lin Queli was a little confused. What’s going on?
Could it be that his formation still worked in time and teleported him back before he was killed?
But even so…
“Da Zhuang—!” Lin Queli let out a marmot-like scream. “The Sky Frost Flower was snatched away!! Helan Xue really wants me to die, sob, sob, sob, sob—”
【He probably wants to find you, so he took back the Sky Frost Flower to lure you to find him…】
“Sob, sob, sob, only a fool would go and find him!”
Lin Queli was about to faint. “Then what do I do now?”
【…】
“Da Zhuang?”
【kdbjhkjaluoq&^&

“…”
Useless system!
Let alone the System, Lin Queli’s mental state was also like this now.
The method he had worked so hard to find was gone in an instant. Now the only option left was—to sleep and endure it.
【Sob, sob, sob… Host, I just got myself confused. But indeed, besides a miracle that is not in the system’s calculations, for example, the Tiandi tribe suddenly finds a new Sky Frost Flower, or Helan Xue has a change of heart and shows mercy, otherwise, this is really the only way now.】
Lin Queli swallowed hard. “The miracle you mentioned is probably not possible. Then… can I survive if I endure it?”
【I don’t know. Now there are still three days until the poison officially takes effect. Why don’t you try to sleep? I’ll exchange for a deep sleep item for you. If you can’t make it or show life-threatening symptoms, I’ll wake you up, and then we can perform a kowtow for the Immortal Venerable?】
“…”
【The System specially found a joke for you to ease the tense atmosphere now. This joke is a pun, meaning you can perform a kowtow to beg for mercy, or you might have your head cut off by the Immortal Venerable’s sword. The punchline is…】
“You, shut the hell up!!”
【Oh.】
Bad news, he was hit by Helan Xue’s palm.
Good news, after being hit, the tingling sensation of the furnace cauldron’s outbreak on his body was relieved, because he was busy with the pain.
After discussing, there was no result. Lin Queli lay down with a bit of despair. Before falling asleep, he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, you didn’t finish just now. What happened to Lin Luo?”
【Oh, oh, oh! It’s just that his system, although it’s a destruction system, the destruction system can’t just bind… ah, ptooey, I mean, the destruction system itself is activated by evil thoughts and needs to bind to a dying person with an obsession.】
【When we transmigrated, didn’t we find that Lin Luo was about to die? The situation at that time was that at the foot of the Myriad Sword Mountain, Taxue Xianzun and the Demon Lord’s group were fighting for the sacred artifact, and there were dark thunderbolts everywhere. We knew about this. And Lin Luo himself didn’t want to enter the Myriad Sword Sect. He wanted to escape, but he was first hit by a thunderbolt from Taxue Xianzun, and then he encountered a demon cultivator on his way to escape. At that time, the demon cultivator would definitely kill him to silence him. So the injured him was killed without any resistance.】
【But a moment after he died, he was bound to the system, so he was resurrected, and the ever-bright lamp did not go out.】
Lin Queli thought to himself, so there were so many reasons. He and the System had thought at the beginning that he had been innocently struck by lightning…
Lin Queli scratched his head. “Then he’s quite pitiful. Innocently struck…”
【I was also confused about this at the beginning. First, why didn’t Lin Luo want to enter Taxue Xianzun’s sect? Second, the dark thunder formation of the great master Taxue Xianzun shouldn’t have made such a low-level mistake and affected the innocent.】
【Later I found out that Lin Luo was not innocent! Lin Luo had been secretly cultivating the demonic path since he was young, taking advantage of Immortal Lord Changming’s frequent seclusion. That’s why the Changming Clan said he was unlearned and his cultivation was ridiculously low. It wasn’t because he had no cultivation, but because his cultivation couldn’t be shown.】
Lin Queli: “?!”
No way, he really fell to the demonic path?
This child has been shady since he was young?!
【He was originally of the demonic path. After he died, his obsession became even deeper, so he could bind to the system.】
Lin Queli thought to himself, I don’t know if I should tell Helan Xue and Immortal Lord Changming about this…
Immortal Lord Changming would probably be very disappointed and sad if he knew.
【Host, you should worry about yourself first…】
“Then… good night, Makka Pakka.”
【Good night, Upsy Daisy!】
Lin Queli closed his eyes.
He didn’t notice that after being hit by Helan Xue’s palm, a crack had appeared on the single spirit sand on his wrist’s prayer beads, as if it couldn’t withstand such a huge amount of spiritual energy and was about to shatter. Now the crack was getting bigger and bigger, and it began to flicker with a faint light after Lin Queli fell asleep.
So when the deeply asleep Lin Queli arrived at his sea of consciousness, he was a little confused when he looked at the empty surroundings, which were still floating with frost and snow.
What’s going on?
The surroundings were very oppressive, almost making him unable to breathe. He sensed that something was wrong and told the snowball to hide and not come over. He himself carefully walked forward.
Then, he saw a person standing under the big tree in his sea of consciousness.
The person was dressed in white, with a tall figure.
Lin Queli froze in place.
Now with the item exchanged from the System, he couldn’t wake up at will.
He could only watch in fear as the person before him turned around and was stared at by those golden eyes.
Those golden eyes had no emotion, no fluctuation.
They just looked at him like this.
Yay an update! But is that the dead demon lord or that kid ? I forgot the name so I’m confused
Lin Luo is the kid with an average cultivation (which we now know is because he’s actually cultivating demonic cultivation), MC pretended to be him to get closer to Taxue Xianzun
