After registering, Linlong immediately became a cultivator of Shading City.
With the tiger demon and the others as witnesses, Linlong was not questioned at all. If he had not gone through this process, it would be hard to say what would have happened if he had queued up in Nanchuan City.
In the following days, Linlong recuperated in Shading City.
With his body technique, this kind of injury naturally healed very quickly. However, his current identity was that of a demon, so he naturally had to pretend to recuperate for a few days.
Unknowingly, three days passed. On the fourth day, a demon suddenly came over and called him to the great hall in the city. This demon was also Tiger Demon Deng Lai's subordinate.
"Elder brother, what's the matter?" Linlong asked doubtfully.
After all, he had just arrived, and the strength he displayed was not very strong. Naturally, this kind of treatment was a little strange to him.
The demon frowned and said, "It's that Elder Kerlin …"
"What's wrong with Elder Kerlin?" Linlong could not help but ask.
Since he had nothing to do in the past few days, he naturally earnestly learned some information and some important people in Shading City. He knew that Elder Kerlin was an elder in Shading City.
"He previously had a conflict with Hall Master Deng. I don't know why he mentioned you today, but he said that you might be a spy from the Ming Region," said the demon.
"Is that so?" Linlong could not help but frown when he heard the demon's words.
He did not expect to encounter such a thing so soon after arriving in Shading City.
"Alright, let's talk as we walk." After saying that, the demon immediately led the way.
As for Linlong, he naturally followed behind him.
After a while, they arrived at the great hall in the city.
That demon brought Linlong in. The moment they walked in, all the eyes of the demons were focused on Linlong.
"City Lord, elders, we have brought Chen Xiao here." Soon after, the demon who brought Linlong in respectfully reported to the people inside.
"You may leave first," said the city lord, who was sitting in the center of the great hall.
The demon who led Linlong in hurriedly left.
"You are Chen Xiao?" At this moment, an elder to the right stood up and said coldly to Linlong.
"That's right. May I know who you are, elder?" said Linlong.
"I am Elder Kerlin of Shading City. Let me ask you, are you a spy sent by the Ming Region?" the old man asked coldly.
"Elder Colin, I am not a spy sent by the Ming Region." Lin Long immediately said.
"Elder Colin, that's not right of you. If Chen Xiao was a spy, he wouldn't have blocked that attack for me." Deng Lai, who was seated on the right, stood up and walked towards Lin Long.
When he arrived in front of Linlong, he said, "Brother Chen, let everyone take a look at the wound on your chest."
Lin Long nodded and took off his shirt. The wound on his chest that had yet to heal was immediately revealed to everyone.
The wound looked very deep. Although it had been three days, the wound was still red.
"This injury is indeed very serious. If Chenxiao was a spy, he would not have risked his life to save Hall Master Deng."
Many Demons in the hall nodded in agreement when they saw the wounds on his body.
Even the City Lord in front of him couldn't help but nod.
"Elder Kerlin, am I right? Brother Chen is not a spy." Deng Lai looked at Elder Kerlin and said.
Elder Colin ignored him and looked at Linlong instead. He suddenly asked, "Which clan are you from?"
"I am from the Lizard Clan." Linlong immediately said.
He was obviously just trying to dodge the question. He didn't expect Elder Colin to say, "The Lizard Clan? Then show me your true form."
Linlong couldn't help but feel shocked. This was his Achilles' heel because he couldn't reveal his demon form at all.
While he was shocked, he was also a little confused. The Demon Clan usually only needed to sense the aura of a certain clan and rarely let others show their true form.
Linlong immediately said, "Elder Colin, due to my injury, my transformation is slightly affected. Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to show my true form."
Elder Colin furrowed his brows and said, "It's just a small injury, how can it affect me …"
Deng Lai, who was standing by the side, disagreed. He immediately frowned and said to Elder Kerlin, "Elder Kerlin, Brother Chen's injury is not small. You should know that the dagger has a powerful energy sealed within it."
After Deng Lai finished speaking, an old man beside him stood up as well. He frowned and said, "Elder Colin, there's no need to force others against their will. I can guarantee with my life that Chen Xiao is indeed from our Lizard Clan."
This elder obviously couldn't bear to see Elder Colin pressuring Linlong like this.
"Since Elder Moke has said so, Chenxiao is obviously from the Lizard Clan."
Hearing the words of the old man called Mo Ke, all the demons present said the same thing one after another.
"Alright, that will be all for now. Chenxiao, you can leave first." At this moment, the City Lord said.
Linlong couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief and left.
The storm passed just like that, but it gave Linlong a reminder to pay attention to this elder named Colin.
After he recovered from his injuries, he followed Deng Lai to complete some missions given by the City Lord. For the first few days, they were all small missions.
On the fifth day, they received a more important mission. This mission was to capture a group of bandits.
In the Nanchuan Region, not all demons obeyed the orders of the Nanchuan Region's Demon King. Naturally, it was the same in the other regions.
Moreover, some demons were gluttonous and lazy, so groups like bandits naturally appeared.
This time, the bandits they were supposed to capture had robbed some of Shading City's resources time and time again, causing the Shading City Lord to hate them. This time, they received news that the bandits would set up camp on a mountain outside of Shading City at midnight tomorrow night. They would then wait for an opportunity to rob a batch of resources that were being transported to Shading City from other places.
After confirming this news, the City Lord ordered them to capture the bandits in one fell swoop.
In the end, this heavy responsibility was given to Deng Lai and another hall master. They were ordered to lead their subordinates to encircle the bandits.
Linlong was not weak, so Deng Lai naturally allowed him to participate.
Very soon, it was the next night. Deng Lai and the other hall master immediately led their subordinates toward the mountain.
They only stopped when they were a certain distance away from the mountain. They were prepared to continue advancing when it was close to midnight.
Time passed minute by minute. When it was almost midnight, they immediately surrounded the mountain top.
According to their previous agreement, Deng Lai led his subordinates to the left, while the other hall master led his subordinates to the right.
When they approached the mountain, Linlong felt that something was amiss. This was because he realized that there was no powerful aura on the mountain. Instead, he sensed the aura of many demons on the left side of the mountain. Moreover, they were not weak either.
"Hall Master Deng, there seems to be something wrong with the situation. Do you want me to go forward and investigate?" Lin Long immediately asked Deng Lai.
Deng Lai seemed to feel that something was amiss as well, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Be careful. Retreat immediately if you notice anything amiss." After that, Deng Lai instructed Linlong and the other demon to scout ahead.
Once he was allowed to, Linlong immediately moved to the left.
After moving forward for a while, his powerful divine will picked up some of the conversation between the demons on the left.
"Gu Ze, there's still no movement after so long. Could something have happened? Are they not coming?" One of the demons said worriedly.
"Brother Wolf, don't worry. Elder Colin is reliable. That Deng Lai will definitely rush over with his subordinates. When we receive the signal, we will immediately rush over and deal with them together with Hall Master Luo. No matter how smart they are, they will not expect to be besieged. Moreover, Hall Master Luo is one of us," the demon called Brother Gu replied.
"That's good. When the time comes, they won't be able to escape!" The first demon said fiercely.
"This time, they will definitely fall into our hands," the demon called Gu Ze said.
"I don't care what happens to the others. I only want Deng Lai and Chenxiao to die as an offering to my brother's soul in heaven!" the first demon said again.
…
Although the voices of these two demons were very soft, how could Linlong not understand that these demons had set up a trap for them to fall into?
These demons were not the bandits, but the people from the Wolf Clan who were killed by the tiger demon previously.
If Linlong did not follow them, Deng Lai would definitely fall into the other party's trap.
After realizing this, Linlong immediately retreated.
"How is it?" Deng Lai asked the moment Linlong returned.
"I didn't discover anything, but it's frighteningly quiet up ahead. Therefore, I think we have to be extremely careful later on," Linlong replied.
The reason why Linlong said this was naturally because he had his own plans.
"Alright." Deng Lai immediately nodded.
He would rather believe that it was true than not.
After a while, the other demon returned and said that he didn't discover anything.
Then, Deng Lai continued forward with his subordinates.
After walking for a while, when they were close to the demons on the left, Linlong immediately walked to the side. When Deng Lai and the other demons did not notice him, he immediately used the Seven Rose Styles.
His target was the nearest enemy Demon Race member.
After a sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out, the demon was directly hit by the Seven Rose Styles.
Although Linlong did not use the strongest power of the Seven Rose Styles, such power was enough to seriously injure the demon.
Immediately, the demon let out a miserable shriek.
Such a sound immediately allowed Deng Lai and the other demons to determine that there was someone on the left.
At this time, they did not have the time to study why the ear-piercing sound suddenly rang out.
"Hall Master, the situation doesn't seem right," a demon beside Deng Lai said.
"Everyone, follow me to the left!" Deng Lai ordered without hesitation.
With his rich experience, he immediately determined that the demons on the left were probably trying to ambush them. He did not know what had happened, so he suddenly exposed himself.
Since the other party had set up an ambush, they definitely had sufficient manpower. Of course, they could escape at this time, but it was not the best choice.
In Deng Lai's opinion, the best choice was to strike first and catch the other party off guard.
After Deng Lai gave the order, his subordinates all rushed to the left.
