Chapter 1195: Are You Planning to Collude with Demons?

After briefly learning the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint for free, Lin Nuo gained some new insights.

With the skills he scrounged and his own knowledge, he was bound to develop new techniques. If possible, he’d apply for a patent and secure his place in history.

The protagonist’s skills were merely for fun; when it came to technological innovation, he had to rely on this villain.

If it weren’t for his strong ability, then the Sword Saint would have been wasting his breath. Blah, blah, blah—it was like listening to a machine gun, cramming a semester’s worth of classes into just one lecture.

Lin Nuo managed to distill some key points and indeed made great strides. He had to admit that this dog-like Sword Saint made significant contributions to swordsmanship, and his vast knowledge was commendable.

Of course, he wouldn’t thank the dog Sword Saint; after all, he didn’t ask for help.

This really made him a lot stronger.

“Phew!”

Lin Nuo let out a long breath, recalling the dispersed Demon Sword, adjusting his aura.

Fortunately, using the dog Sword Saint’s techniques didn’t cause backlash. If this were in his previous life, he might have been in serious trouble.

“For now, I’ll teach you these. It’s not something you can master overnight. You’ll need to take your time to comprehend it gradually.”

The Sword Saint casually dropped this line, placing his hands behind his back as he turned to leave, acting all high and mighty.

Really, he’d used up all his teachings, and after just a couple of moves he acted like a master, obviously wanting to show off in front of your daughter.

Once the Sword Saint left, Li Ruo’er hurried back. Compared to being close to her mother, Ni Wanqing, who was also a White Fox, she preferred to be close to Lin Nuo.

“Just now, who looked better, me or your old dad?”

“Of course, Young Master is the most handsome~”

Li Ruo’er responded without hesitation. If her old man, the Sword Saint, heard this, he’d probably end up crying in bed for a long time.

“It feels like Young Master uses the sword better than Dad. Young Master might be the future Sword Saint!”

“Come on, I don’t want to be any kind of Sword Saint. But honestly, when it comes to swordplay, your dad is a bit more skilled. Alright, we should head back.”

Lin Nuo looked ahead and saw Mu Yiting returning. A batch of piglets had been sent away; they were the last group.

“Can you still send me?” Lin Nuo asked Mu Yiting.

“If I said no, would you follow me back to my room again?”

“Ah! Young Master can’t go with you!”

Beside them, Li Ruo’er quickly hugged Lin Nuo, not wanting to let him go after finally being reunited.

“You should still be able to continue; I believe in your abilities.” Lin Nuo said seriously.

“Now you trust me? Sigh, after all, I’m considered a princess in a certain country in the Demon Realm, yet I’ve become your servant now.”

“Not at all. Your kindness, I will surely remember and repay.”

Lin Nuo continued earnestly, skillfully painting a big pie.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a big pie—it was something achievable; just a matter of time.

“Alright, I’ll remember for now. Let’s go, don’t drag it out too long, or we won’t make it back. Honestly, if you were still my subordinate, treating my subordinates like this, I’d be quite pleased.”

“I used to take care of your people quite well, you know.”

“Took care? Although I let you command freely, I don’t know how many underlings lost their lives to complete your missions. Sigh, comparing this, I feel worse.”

Mu Yiting stopped questioning. Back then, when Lin Nuo went undercover at her place, the motivations were entirely different, and one couldn’t generalize. Even if the motivations were similar, he probably didn’t view her subordinates as humans.

But he cared so much for these Fox People; it was really envious.

Soon, the remaining people followed Mu Yiting’s lead, preparing to teleport back upon her command.

This teleportation would take quite a while to return here.

“Everyone don’t move or use magic; otherwise, it’ll affect me.”

Mu Yiting instructed. The others stood on her formation and listened without causing a ruckus. Soon, as a flash of white brilliance enveloped them, they left this place.

……

They were back.

Lin Nuo noticed that his Demon Sword had returned to its original Spirit Sword form, and the signs of demonization in his body had considerably weakened.

This time, the chaos between the two realms led to Ling Meng’s forces crumbling, and over half of Li Ruo’er’s Fox People subordinates had fallen. Moreover, the chaos persisted; who knows when they might wake up and find themselves back in the Demon Realm.

“Now, those who have dealt with demons may end up selling their souls to the Demon Realm to help break the barrier between the two realms.”

Mu Yiting said, which was intel she gathered from the Demon Realm.

“But it’s not something ordinary demons can manage; it must involve very powerful ones—most likely the Refining Demon Sect and Qin Dao’s forces.”

“That’s surely not all,” Lin Nuo added.

“Not all?”

“The Xuanyun Sect too.”

“The Xuanyun Sect? I haven’t returned there in a long time; I’m not sure about their current situation. I’ve heard they’ve changed their leader.”

“Yes, Zhang Yuanxu, your master. Though this person hasn’t practiced demonic magic, he’s even scarier than demons. He has ambitions of dominating the world. Alright, it seems it’s time for me to settle scores with him.”

Lin Nuo crossed his arms and gazed into the distance, which was indeed in the direction of the Xuanyun Sect.

“What are you planning? Annihilation? With your strength, you can definitely do it. But, I suspect that if you cause a commotion at the Xuanyun Sect, the Demon Realm might utilize the Demon Soul Power you emit,” Mu Yiting said.

“So you mean I fight them, and the emitted Demon Soul Power might become the energy source the Demon Realm needs?”

“Pretty much.” Mu Yiting replied,

“But as long as it’s not too intense, it shouldn’t be a big issue.”

“Well then, that’s fine.”

Lin Nuo nodded. Let’s go for an assassination then; taking out one should suffice. If he faced the other elders together, the power they unleashed might be exploited by the Demon Realm.

“Then I’ll wait for your good news. As long as you eradicate those who might collaborate with the Demon Realm, the chaos between the realms will settle. But if you take too long, you might still solve the issue without eliminating them.”

“I’ll do it as quickly as possible.”

Lin Nuo said, but even as he spoke, he realized he couldn’t just leave right away, especially since Li Ruo’er and the others had just returned, and they didn’t even have a stable place to stay.

Bringing them along would only slow him down.

Could he entrust them to the Sword Saint? Would this old guy be up for it?

Not very likely; after all, the original script was about the Sword Saint chopping Ling Meng. What if he impulsively went and took out Ling Meng? That would be terrible.

But it should be fine; who knows, maybe Ling Meng would end up taking him down.

“Someone’s coming.”

The calm Sword Saint uttered.

“Indeed.”

Lin Nuo could feel it too, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

“Then are you planning to collude with demons?” Lin Nuo questioned the Sword Saint.

“If Ruo’er chose you, then I accept you. This has nothing to do with being a demon or not,” the Sword Saint replied. Next, they were about to face a large number of cultivators.
