Chapter 260 - 155: Please, Demon Venerable, Execute Them!_2
After the previous incident at the inn, his impression of the boy had grown increasingly favorable; he found the match with the Sect Master to be a match made in heaven, a perfect union.
Despite the boy’s somewhat lower cultivation, it was no issue; if worse came to worst, they could find some Dual Cultivation Technique for the Sect Master to carry him along in advancement.

After securing Yelü Miaomiao and Er Liang in a hidden and safe location, Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly sought an isolated corner for some temporary rest. Mumbling complaints, the man grumbled, "You’re the Demon Venerable, couldn’t you give some kind of warning beforehand? Why decide to possess me at this moment, what took you so long?"
Just before, an abrupt sensation of swelling pain had assailed Jiang Shouzhong’s body, accompanied by a heavy dizziness, as if a massive stone were pressing on his heart... the symptoms were exactly like the ones before the last time the Demon Venerable had possessed him.
Jiang Shouzhong immediately understood that the Demon Venerable seemed unable to hold back any longer and wished to borrow his body to appear in the world.
Of course, if he insisted on maintaining control over his own body, even the imposing Demon Venerable couldn’t forcibly occupy him. But given the current situation, Jiang Shouzhong was rather keen on the Demon Venerable causing some trouble sooner rather than later, to prevent Mengniang from being spied upon by the Yata Mirror for Detecting Demons.
Thus, he quickly found a nearby inn ruined by enormous boulders, selected a relatively clean patch of ground in the rubble, and without hesitation, lay down.
As Jiang Shouzhong drifted into a hazy state between sleeping and waking, the Water Moon Dream Mirror quietly appeared above him, emerging as if from the void and rippling circles of radiance.
