Immortal Road.

"Xun Gu Cult Supervisory Mission?"

Qianbu raised his head grimly, listened to his men's reports, and looked around the battlefield. His army was sweeping everything, and the Kaoshan Gang, which was originally an ally, was now falling apart.

Two formation spirits in the late Nascent Soul stage were hovering in the sky, and the army of Guigu Holy Land formed a formation to encircle and suppress them on the ground, leaving broken limbs and corpses strewn all over the ground.

This army is the elite force that Qianbu has gathered in the Holy Land over the years. They have fought several battles with the people of Xiongshan in southwestern Shandong and are the culprit that completely destroyed the Kaoshan Gang!
The feud between Qianbu and the people of Xiongshan can be traced back to the struggle for supremacy at Jiuyao Peak in the State of Chu. They can be said to be a pair of old enemies!
They had no chance before in the public eye, and now everyone is separated in the lava sea, without contact with each other, each looking for a way out and fighting on their own. If they meet again, they will have to be ruthless, right?
Master Xiongshan was still leading his men to search around for the Yin-Yang Ladder that Master Liang had told him about, but suddenly Qianbu caught up with him from behind and attacked him without saying a word, knocking him out.

There was no suspense in this battle. The Kaoshan Gang was no match at all and was beaten to pieces by a charge led by Qianbu's army. The people of Xiongshan fled in panic with hatred!
"Brother, should we chase after him?"

Several young Nascent Soul cultivators surrounded him. These people were all his fellow disciples and followers.

"A while ago, Sister Hui Miao from Xun Gu Sect cried to me, saying that the person who bullied her was the leader of Xun Gu Sect, right? At that time, I was busy fighting against the main forces of Haoran Holy Land and Chunqiu Sword Sect, and I had no time to pay attention to what was happening behind the scenes. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen."

Qianbu was actually not very clear about the feud between Xun Gu Sect and Guigu Holy Land, because he had always been the main force in the Yu Sui Han Tan layer, fighting against the two holy places on the front line. He was so busy every day that he had no time to understand the trivial matters in the rear.

Elder Hui Miao is a veteran in the Bingzhen School. He once led Qian Bu for a period of time when Qian Bu first came in, so the two have a close relationship.

So she would confide in him when they met briefly after returning, but the truth of the matter was that the Xun Gu Sect was aggressive, and Elder Hui Miao, a woman, could only swallow her anger when she was beaten.

And the group of Nascent Soul cultivators below have actually long disliked the Xun Gu Sect!
If it weren't for the pressure from Lord Liang, they would have long since found trouble with Grandmaster Manyi and his group!
Now that the third level has lost contact and everyone is fighting on their own, it is a good time to teach the ancient sect's envoys a lesson!
"Brother, the Xun Gu Sect rebelled against Tian Gang and even dared to send people to monitor our holy land! I have never heard of such an outrageous thing in my life. Who the hell are they? Why do they give us orders?"

"Yes, when I first heard that Master Liang agreed to this, I couldn't believe it was so absurd. It's simply the biggest joke of the whole continent!"

"In the eyes of the other three holy places, our Guigu Holy Land has been bullied by slaves and cannot stand up. It is so ugly and unreasonable!"

"I really don't understand why we have to be so humble."

Whenever the people of Guigu Holy Land heard this news, they felt furious. From their perspective, they really couldn't understand it. This was a natural problem of standpoint.

After hearing what everyone said, Qianbu Jing became a little angry.

"Humph, Xun Gu Cult, you are going too far! If you don't know who you are, then let me teach them a lesson!"

"Oh ho~"

Everyone was very happy and rubbed their hands in anticipation, having been looking forward to this day for a long time!

To be honest, they are not afraid of the people on Xiongshan Mountain. They are willing to bear any consequences behind them, let alone the Xun Gu Sect.

A mere local native dares to ride on their heads and shit on them. They must be taught a lesson!
The battlefield below was cleaned up quickly.

The Kaoshan Gang was completely wiped out. Although internal strife was strictly prohibited in the Guigu Holy Land, they were just a group of ragtag troops and no one would speak up for them even if they died.

Immediately afterwards, Qianbu led the army onto the porcelain boat, crossed the lava sea and arrived at an island a hundred miles away.

A tragic drama is unfolding on the island at this moment.

The man on Xiongshan was crying and gritting his teeth, swearing to kill Qianbu, the despicable villain!
Master Manqie and Master Dong Chanzi expressed their sympathy but also advised him to stay calm.

The two of them naturally knew how powerful Qianbu was. He was one of the trump cards of the military formation and the apple of the eye of the Liang vein master. The elite army under his command was invincible. It was not an exaggeration to call him the top strong force in Lei Bohai!
He once single-handedly fought against the three late Nascent Soul masters of the Holy Land!

While the two were helpless about this, they were also secretly communicating with each other, wondering if Qianbu would chase after the people on Xiongshan Mountain?
At that time, will they accompany Master Xiong Shan and fight to the end, or will they take the initiative to hand over Master Xiong Shan?
"I remember that before we came here, the leader seemed to have said that the people on Xiongshan Mountain were our insiders, so they should be considered as one of our own."

"But Qianbu is so powerful that we can't resist him at all. Can we stop him with a mantis arm?"

The two were in a dilemma. They were at a loss as to what to do with the man from Xiongshan who was running towards them crying and fleeing. It was not right to chase him away, nor was it right not to chase him away.

But the problem is, how can the two of them compete with Qianbu?
While they were struggling, a fleet floated over the lava sea outside the island, and a disciple came in to report the enemy situation. Grandmaster Manyi and Dong Chanzi hurriedly got up and went out to look.

Because the mantle layer distorts vision and limits spiritual consciousness, even at the Nascent Soul stage, they are unable to see clearly who is on the boat, but they have a hunch that it must be Qianbu who has caught up with them.

The man from Xiongshan also came to them and recognized them at a glance after seeing the familiar enemy situation.

"It's Qianbu! Something terrible is happening!"

He immediately started running around like an ant on a hot pan, muttering to himself.

"Qianbu is a cruel and merciless man with no principles in his eyes. He doesn't even consider the overall situation. He kills even his allies at will. This is how my Kaoshan Gang was slaughtered. I'm afraid the Xun Gu Cult delegation is no exception!"

"Their army is the main force of Guigu Holy Land. With the current lineup on the island, we are definitely no match for them. We can only be devoured alive by them!"

"If I stay here, I will harm you two and all the disciples of Xun Gu Sect. It is better to leave now. I will leave now~"

What is surprising is that Xiong Shan is actually quite particular. He came to the Ancient Sect just to complain, but when he saw his enemies chasing him, he immediately ran away!

Of course, no matter what, I should have run away. Staying would just mean waiting for death, so I might as well just run away.

Grandmaster Manqie and Dong Chanzi were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. It was unrealistic to pretend to keep him, and they also did not want to be implicated.

They could only watch as the man from Bear Mountain secretly jumped into the sea of ​​magma and disappeared right before their eyes.

The Qianbu army on the opposite side did not notice the tricks of the people on Xiongshan Mountain and launched a fierce attack directly on the island!
"Fuck the fucking Xiong Shan I @#￥@%@"

Everyone in the Xun Gu Sect was cursing loudly, and only then did they realize that they had been cheated by this coward!
You ran away secretly and put the blame on us. Are you still a human being?
At Qianbu's command, he sat on the boat and waited for good news, believing that his army was invincible and the Xungu Sect's envoys could be destroyed in a few strokes.

Who would have thought that after a stick of incense had passed, there was continuous artillery fire outside and the attack was still going on.

"Brother, there is a formation master on the opposite island. This turtle shell is very difficult to handle. We can't break through it in a short time."

"waste!!!"

Qianbu immediately stood up and looked at the two thick light curtains in front of him. The army landed and attacked fiercely but failed, and the people inside fought back desperately with the help of the formation.

"Let me do it. I have to slaughter them today."

"Wait, I think I found the whereabouts of the man on Bear Mountain. He just escaped and used the lava sea to escape hundreds of miles away. Should we chase him?"

There is no shortage of tracking experts in the Guigu Holy Land, and they have special secret techniques to detect the whereabouts of the man on Bear Mountain.

Qianbu paused, his expression changing constantly. After comparing the two, he looked at the island ahead, thought about what was more important, and immediately made a decision. "Retreat! It is important to hunt down Xiong Shan first, and it is not important to find the ancient sect. It will not be too late to deal with it later."

Seeing the army sailing away on the porcelain boats, the members of the Xun Gu Sect on the island breathed a sigh of relief. They almost thought they were finished, but luckily, Grandmaster Manyan was there.

The formation master who accompanied the team was indeed reliable. Because the environment here is dangerous, they would set up a large formation for on-the-spot defense every time they arrived at a place. This just came in handy!
Dong Chanzi watched the Qianbu army leave with a worried look on his face and asked Grandmaster Manyi for his next advice.

"What should we do now, should we leave or stay?"

If they leave, they will lose the protection of the formation and their safety will be greatly reduced. But if they don't leave, they are afraid that Qianbu will not catch up with the people and return, and then they will not be able to escape even if they want to.

Grandmaster Manqie looked at everyone's eager gazes and sighed.

"Let's go, move our position first, it's not safe here."

With her decision, everyone below obeyed. They packed up and set off immediately, choosing a place at random to sail into the depths.

And no one knew that a black line flew out from Dong Chanzi's arms, turned a corner and disappeared, and its target was exactly where Master Xiongshan was.

Wow~
A big head emerged from the sea of ​​magma. It reached out to touch its face and shook off the magma on its beard. It didn't even activate its protective aura!

Master Xiongshan's physical training attainments are quite good. Back then, Master Jinglian taught him high-level body-building techniques and provided him with suitable resources in an attempt to train him to become a person with great supernatural powers.

However, although this guy has a water spirit body, his brain is not very bright and his comprehension is dull, and until now he is still neither high nor low.

Mr. Jinglian was completely busy dealing with the Black Lotus Sect. The pressure from Fairy Qinglian was too great for him to take care of his disciple and could only let him wander outside.

Now that he has entered the mantle layer and lost contact with Liang Maizhu and his fellow Guigu high-ranking officials, his umbrella of protection is gone.

Not to mention Qianbu, even if they meet people from other holy places, they will be killed without mercy!

Anyway, this place is hidden and unknown to the outside world. As long as the work is done cleanly, who would know who did it?
Xiong Shan thought that after all, the Xun Gu sect had a master of formations, so they should be able to hold out for a while. After that, the other party would discover their tracks and turn around to chase him, so he would most likely be safe.

However, he was extremely depressed because all his troops were lost.

Even the Yuanying-stage subordinates who had been subdued before were killed. The damn Qianbu was really hateful!
Now I'm alone again, and I don't know what to do.

In his current state, even if he could find the Yin-Yang Ladder, what could he do alone? Without the help of coolies, he couldn't build the ladder even if he worked himself to death!
According to the Liang Vein Master's explanation, the Yin-Yang Ladder is the quietest, largest and most motionless of the many moving and hidden veins in the mantle layer, and it leads directly to the ground!

Of course, because the vision here is reversed, upside down, it looks like a ladder.

Moreover, if one wants to pass it safely, it needs development and maintenance by later generations. This is the experience summarized by the major holy places after thousands of years of competition.

"Hey, let's take it one step at a time."

He sighed. If all else failed, he could just go back to the upper level and seek refuge from Sect Leader Lin of the Xun Gu Sect. This Qianbu was too annoying.

But just as I thought this, Speak of the devil, he appears!
A fleet was sailing from the lava sea behind. The people on board were stunned when they saw the big head, and then they shouted with joy.

"Xiong Shan, you didn't run away, but waited for me here. Could it be that you have figured it out?"

The people on Xiongshan Mountain were shocked.

"Qianbu?! How did you catch up with them so quickly? Impossible!"

How could this man, leading a large army with his family, run away faster than he could by himself?
"Nonsense, your swimming skills down there are no match for me sailing up there!"

Qianbu sneered disdainfully, this guy is really not smart.

The magma sea is extremely viscous and the resistance is so high that you can't swim far. People can definitely go much faster by sailing on the sea and riding the waves.

"But how did you track me?"

"No comment!"

Qianbu waved his hand, and the ships on all sides surrounded the place. The army formed a battle array on the ships, and their auras were connected. Pillars of light formed a circle, locking the Xiong Mountain in the middle in the formation.

The man on Xiongshan Mountain was very panicked and had a premonition that today was not going to be good.

If he were outside, he would have run away long ago. After all, he was born with a water spirit and had awakened water escape skills, so he was particularly good at escaping slipperily.

But the magnetic field interference and underground pressure here make it impossible for him to use all his skills. So the only way left is to fight hard?

But how can we defeat a large family like Qianbu by force?
"kill!!!"

The military soul condensed above his head, and the formation spirit emerged, rushing down from the left and right.

Qianbu stood at the bow of the ship and commanded the army simply by using flag signals, and he beat Xiongshan so hard that he cried out in pain.

Waves surged on the surface of the lava sea, and everyone watched this scene quietly. Various yellow and blue lights intertwined in the array. A small figure was trying his best to resist, but he was ultimately unable to hold on.

"No!!! Master, save me."

As the man on Bear Mountain shouted, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out, and a loud shout came from the void above his head.

"May I ask which Taoist friend wants to kill my disciple? I wonder if you can give me, Master Jinglian, a favor."

"coming!"

Qianbu's eyes lit up; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

Master Xiong Shan has a master with great spiritual power behind him, so it is impossible that he did not leave any means to call for help.

At the last moment, I will definitely summon Master Jinglian.

Then, his goal was achieved!
