Truth be told, Lin Jin was very hesitant.
He had only planned to stay here for the night to get some rest and cultivate. Who knew he would run into trouble here? Not only that, it was so troublesome that it even involved a demon.
This was Lin Jin's first time meeting this demon. It was much stronger than the old dragon.
The old dragon was a Rank 5 dragon beast, but due to his injuries and lack of strength, he could barely be considered a Rank 5. However, this monster before him was a solid Rank 5. Moreover, it was at the pinnacle of Rank 5 monsters.
In terms of strength, even if it couldn't beat the old dragon, it was definitely much stronger than him. It was best not to provoke a demon of this level if possible.
But then again, Lin Jin was no longer the same as before. If they were to fight, he wasn't afraid.
Xiao Huo's Yin Yang Dharma body wasn't something he cultivated for nothing.
Now, Lin Jin was holding a needle between his fingers. If the other party wanted to fight, Lin Jin wouldn't hold back.
It all depended on the monster's decision now.
A few breaths felt like years to everyone here. Lin Jin remained as still as a mountain. He neither spoke nor made a move. Now, all the pressure was on the female demon.
In addition, she was shaken to see Xiao Huo's Dharma body. Already feeling inferior, she couldn't hold it in anymore. After a moment's thought, she took two steps forward and curtsied.
"Greetings, Mister! I'm Hu Yuzhen from Mount Cang Liang!"
It was a respectful greeting. At this moment, the woman in red no longer resembled a demon. Be it her expression or voice, she was no different from a decent girl. In fact, she seemed like a well-educated and well-mannered girl.
Everyone in the yard felt their hearts pounding. Other than Qingzhu, no one knew what this demon was doing or who she was bowing to.
At least no one would be shameless enough to assume that they were the 'Mister' this female demon was referring to.
Just as everyone was confused and at a loss for what to do, Lin Jin deactivated his Camouflage. In an instant, everyone in the yard saw a man and several beasts appear out of thin air. What was even more ridiculous was that there was a coffin.
Mr. Li and the others immediately recalled Qingzhu's words.
Evidently, what Qing Zhu said was true.
There really was someone here.
But how could this person disappear and reappear out of thin air?
Was this person good or bad? Was it a man or a ghost?
Mister Li and the others had mixed feelings in their hearts. They couldn't describe what they were feeling, but they all hoped that this person was a good person. That way, they might be able to keep their lives today.
On the other side, the North Ridge Duo and the remaining two villains had similar thoughts. They were knowledgeable and knew that the young man was probably not a demon. As long as he was not a demon, it was fine.
To Lin Jin, since the demoness had spoken up, he couldn't play dumb anymore. Moreover, she was well-mannered, so she must be wary of him.
If that was the case, they might not even need to do anything.
Lin Jin got up and saluted them. "Lin Jin was just passing by. Sorry for disturbing you."
At this time, Mr. Li reacted quickly. He recalled Qingzhu's words and knew that his life would be tied to this expert in front of him today.
He immediately took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground.
"We are all from the four cities of Xuyang. This time, we are on our way to King City to study, and we also happened to pass by here. In the end, we encountered a demon. Please save us, sir. Please save us."
Mr. Li was no fool. After confirming that this expert was a living person, he knew that if they wanted to live, it would depend on whether the man would help them or not.
As for whether he could be saved, that was an easy question to answer.
That fiendish demon was indeed terrifying. The group of villains had lost two people in just a few exchanges and the rest were all injured. Their pet beasts were almost all dead while the female fiendish demon remained unscathed. From this alone, one could tell that the female fiendish demon was a terrifying existence.
However, such a terrifying demoness was immediately stunned the moment she entered the yard.
Everyone had clearly seen her dazed expression just now.
Then, as if her personality had changed, the initially arrogant and demonic demoness became courteous like a respectable woman as she bowed at the young man.
If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't afford to offend him, why would she do this?
Mr. Li's family was considered a prominent one in the four cities of Xuyang. Having seen the world since he was young, he immediately made a decision.
That expert was clearly hesitant. He didn't want to get involved in this matter. If he really left, all of them would die in that demoness's hands.
Qingzhu and the others knelt down as well.
Lin Jin had never seen something like this before. However, he had planned to protect these passersby, especially after learning that they were apprentices of the Beast Appraisal Association. He had a good impression of them. Qingzhu was a talented person with innate spiritual eyes. With just a little guidance, she would achieve great things in the future. It would be a pity if she died here.
At this, Lin Jin saluted the demoness and said, "It's fate that we met. You've already devoured two people tonight, but they are also villains who have committed many evil deeds so I won't interfere. I just hope that Miss Hu will stop while you're ahead and not kill again. It won't help your cultivation at all."
This exhortation was very polite, but it also carried a deterrent force.
Lin Jin wasn't someone to be trifled with. Back in the royal capital, he had slaughtered the Jade Dragon Kingdom's guardian dragon beast so he had developed a murderous aura. If this demoness wouldn't listen, Lin Jin would have no choice but to take action.
The demoness pondered for a moment before nodding. "You're right, Sir. Since we met, it's fate. How could I not listen to you, Sir?"
Having said that, she turned to the villains and Mr. Li and said, "The few of you can leave now. Remember, you better not tell anyone about what happened tonight. Don't think that this tiny Jade Dragon Kingdom can protect you. If I want to kill you, even if you hide in that old emperor's palace, you'll still die."
Fiendish demons were fiendish demons. Being courteous was just an act. Being vicious was their true nature.
This threat scared the villains so much that they broke out in cold sweat and nodded vigorously.
Lin Jin stopped Qingzhu. After some thought, he said, "You're quite talented and you have innate spiritual eyes. You're most suited to be a beast appraiser, but you'll need a good teacher to guide you. Remember, when you get to the royal capital, look for Appraiser Tan Xun. Tell him that Lin Jin asked you to look for him. Appraiser Tan Xun will know what to do."
"Appraiser Tan Xun?"
Qing Zhu and her companions were all shocked.
In the Jade Dragon Kingdom, Appraiser Tan Xun's name was well known within the beast appraiser community. After all, he was one of the few Rank 3 beast appraisers in the kingdom. All apprentices had heard of him from the day they entered the profession.
It could be said that Tan Xun, who was a Rank 3 beast appraiser, was a very prestigious existence in the eyes of these apprentices. To think that this man knew Appraiser Tan Xun and even helped Qingzhu build a relationship.
This was an opportunity that one couldn't even dream of.
Mr. Li and the other six stared at Qingzhu enviously.
