If we were to talk about the most popular Taoist in the recent times in both the human and demon realms, it would have to be Lin Changze from Mt. Longhu. He has astonishing memory and perseverance in repeatedly verifying, and has actually written a book that almost summarizes all the characteristics of demons in the world, called the "Hundred Demon Compendium."
As soon as this book came out, it caused a frenzy in the three realms. Only one demon used force to burn the precious book to ashes.
"All the demons in the world have it, why did this stinky Taoist overlook me?"
Although there are many powerful demons in the demon realm today, the only ones who can be called kings are the ancient demon king Mo Yuan, who has long resided in the north, and his disciple, the currently furious demon king Jiang Shi.
Mo Yuan has never encountered a rival in the demon realm, and he is also unequivocally recognized as the top existence in the "Hundred Demon Compendium" by Lin Changze. However, his only disciple, Jiang Shi, has never appeared in the "Hundred Demon Compendium" from beginning to end.
So in order to clear her name, Jiang Shi decided to personally go to the mortal world's Mt. Longhu to settle accounts with Lin Changze.
Since she could remember, Jiang Shi had never set foot outside the demon realm. Firstly, it was because there was a boundary seal between the human world and the demon realm. Secondly, she herself was unwilling to leave his side. So, no matter how many demons who had been to the mortal world told her how good it was, she had never been moved in the slightest.
But now it's different. It's true that personal matters are trivial compared to important matters of life. Even if she doesn't care about her own status, she cannot bear the thought of being pointed at because of Mo Yuan. Moreover, she has heard that many dissatisfied demons have recently gone to the mortal realm to settle scores with that stinky Taoist. She believes that if she speaks up, Mo Yuan will definitely agree.
However, she never expected that after she earnestly presented various reasons to him, the young man sitting on the throne of carved ice and jade, always with a cold expression, would shake his head without hesitation and say, "You cannot leave the demon realm."
"Why?" Jiang Shi was puzzled. "I'm not going to the mortal realm to kill, set fires, or harm the people. I just want to find that annoying Taoist to clear my clan's name."
"Clear your name?" Mo Yuan looked at her with clear eyes. "Do you think anyone would dare to trouble you under my protection?"
Jiang Shi had nothing to say.
After all, Mo Yuan's protection of his loved ones was almost widely known throughout the entire demon realm.
Relying on his support, she used to swagger through the demon realm for a long time, making anyone who she told to go east never dare to go west.
But when it came to matters of the mortal world, no matter how she tried to persuade him, Mo Yuan remained silent.
If it were any other demon, being rejected by their own king would have deterred them from entertaining any other thoughts, but Jiang Shi was different. She had been doted on by Mo Yuan since she was young and had inherited his most authentic demon techniques. Even though she knew Mo Yuan would not agree, as soon as he entered seclusion, she swiftly arrived at the edge of the seal and effortlessly broke the barrier using the techniques she had quietly learned from Mo Yuan.
"Little Taoist of Mt. Longhu, prepare yourself and wait for this king with a clean neck."
In Jiang Shi's imagination, the person who could write a book like "Hundred Demon Compendium" must be a stubborn and unyielding old Daoist. However, when she concealed her figure and sneaked into Mt. Longhu to finally find him, she discovered that the object of her search was a remarkably elegant and refined young man.
For some reason, upon seeing him for the first time, Jiang Shi inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Fortunately, that feeling was only momentary. In the next moment, when he reached out to brush the purple wisteria petals off her shoulder, she was already standing calmly in front of him, her hand firmly gripping his throat with the vines she conjured: "Lin, do you know who I am?"
"Of course, I know who you are. I know that you are the disciple of the ancient demon king, Mo Yuan, and now the Wood Demon King, Jiang Shi. I even know that you were once a mortal girl from a family that had been in the flower business for generations. At the peak of your family's success, you were the sole supplier of royal flowers."
He spoke very seriously, and she could see no trace of lying in his eyes. But when she thought of Mo Yuan, and of his kindness to her over the centuries, Jiang Shi still shook her head firmly, her almond-shaped eyes coldly fixed on him. "I don't believe a word you say. I'm only here to ask you one thing: are you willing to rewrite the 'Hundred Demon Compendium'?"
However, Lin Changze looked at her and smiled without anger. "Jiang Shi, now that you are the Wood Demon King, you should naturally know that no matter what kind of demon it is, it will have its own demon form. But what about you? Have you never been curious about your own demon form all these years? Or perhaps, do you even have a demon form at all?"
The eyebrows slightly furrowed, Jiang Shi tilted her head slightly, thinking back to the day she opened her eyes in the demon realm. The cold and aloof young man reached out and gently touched her forehead, saying to her, "Her name is Jiang Shi, a demon transformed from the Southern Hanging Flower Water Brocade Tree."
From that day on, it was a memory for a lifetime. Although she had searched the entire South and never found the tree he spoke of, Jiang Shi never doubted Mo Yuan's words. After all, during the long and tedious cultivation in the demon realm, he was the only one who gave her warmth and hope.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Changze finished speaking, she immediately cut in firmly, "Stinky Taoist, don't try to sow discord here. As long as it's what Mo Yuan said, I believe it. I don't believe a single word of what others say."
