Immortal Road.

Chapter 103 The Great Song Dynasty
Lin Shan and his companion drove the flying boat at lightning speed, flying straight to the northeast over the vast East China Sea.

After running for most of the day, he found that there were no pursuers following him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After switching to automatic gear, the flying boat began to slowly navigate itself, and Lin Shan could finally lean on the side to rest for a while. Lin Fan stood up and replaced it with a new medium-grade wind spirit stone. This was the third time he had replaced a spirit stone.

Lin Fan was finally a little overwhelmed: "The middle-grade wind spirit stones are running low. We have already consumed dozens of them since we came out of the capital."

Seeing Lin Shan's gaze turned to him, he pretended to be indifferent: "I mean, we can drive slowly at ordinary times."

But just as he finished speaking, the flying boat passed by an island in the East China Sea. Someone on the island also discovered the flying boat in the sky, and a beam of light flew out from the island in an instant.

Judging from his attire and skills, he is obviously another cultivator in the foundation-building stage of the magic path!

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

Lin Fan stepped forward and quickly switched the car back to manual transmission, and the two of them began their desperate escape again.

……

In the next two days, they found that most of the islands in the East China Sea were occupied by the three sects of the Demonic Path. Some foundation-building cultivators seemed to have the task of defending the islands. When they saw the two of them, they simply chased them and turned back when they couldn't catch up in a short time.

"The East China Sea has completely fallen. This matter concerns the situation of the Great Song Dynasty's cultivation world. I must go back and report to the headmaster!"

Lin Fan began to worry and concerned about the general situation in the world.

After all, the Zixiao Sect is the leader in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world. As a member of the sect and a vested interest, he naturally has to make plans early.

Lin Shan didn't care. He was just a casual cultivator, so no matter how things changed, it wouldn't affect his income. On the contrary, in troubled times, he had more opportunities to develop and grow.

This trip was the greatest harvest of ancient Chinese culture in history. I got hundreds of points at once and almost ate too much!

This time when I return to Yichuan, I will try my best to make use of Gu Yun. I will arm myself as much as possible. I can rely on someone like Lei Yuzi and Lin Fan once, but I can't rely on them forever. The most important thing is to be strong.

The two chatted as they traveled, and finally, after more than ten days, the Song Dynasty's capital, Bianliang, was in sight.

……

After arriving at the palace, the two went directly to the main hall at the back to find Lei Yunzi and told him in detail what had happened over the past half month.

But unexpectedly, although they hurried back without stopping along the way to report the news, Lei Yunzi had already received the news in advance.

"At this point I already know that the three sects of the Demonic Path have returned from the far north with great determination. Not only have they entangled with the remnants of the old army that remained in the Song Dynasty, they have also colluded with the South China Sea's major sect, Lin Yu Zhai. The East China Sea has completely fallen into the hands of the enemy!"

Lei Yunzi looked solemn as he told the two of them the latest information.

It turns out that because the islands in the East China Sea are relatively scattered and there are no large spiritual veins, there has never been a large sect like the Zixiao Sect in charge. There are only small forces and independent cultivators mixed in, like a pile of loose sand.

After all, a true top sect, in addition to its sect-stabilizing magical powers, must also be strong enough to guard an entire country.

However, what is needed to accumulate strength are spiritual veins, spiritual crystals and spiritual mines to cultivate more talents and more foundation.

For example, the Zixiao Sect was formed by the great and powerful people of all generations, who constantly gathered the spiritual veins in one place. This is how the Zixiao Sect, which is now protected by dozens of spiritual mountains, came into being. All the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators gathered together, plus countless low-level disciples, and this is the deterrent power of a large sect.

In a place like the East China Sea, the islands are scattered here and there, and they have long been conquered one by one, so it is impossible for a real top-level force to be formed.

Therefore, the first stop for the three evil sects when they return this time is to occupy the East China Sea as a base and bridgehead, so as to have a seesaw to attack and retake the Song Dynasty.

The battle half a month ago was probably planned for a long time, and the timing of the infiltration was just right, catching the three major righteous sects off guard!
"So how should the sect deal with this now?"

Lin Fan continued to ask Lei Yunzi about the game plan between the major sects, and Lin Shan beside him was listening quietly. Lei Yunzi obviously did not hide anything, and did not avoid Lin Shan listening. At the same time, he told Lin Fan not to go overseas recently, and it would be best to stay in the sect for a while. The three sects of the Demonic Path had already settled in the East China Sea.

They didn't know how to convince the South Sea sect Lin Yu Zhai to contain the inland sect Yu Shou Valley. At the same time, another local magic sect Huangquan Sect in Dayan in the north also went south and confronted Qianyun Pavilion.

Now the only one that can take action is the Zixiao Sect. They may be able to defend, but it is obviously beyond their ability to fight three sects of the Demonic Path out of the East China Sea alone.

The current situation is unclear, and it is still unknown what the higher-ups will think next, so it is best not to run around.

Lin Fan asked about his senior sister Lei Yuzi's news. Lei Yuzi said that he didn't know either, but told Lin Fan not to worry. It was said that a Yuanying-stage elder in the sect had come out of retreat to the East China Sea to pick up Lei Yuzi, so nothing should go wrong.

As for the Song Dynasty's capital Bianliang, all the formations have been prepared. Even if the demons attack, they will be enough to resist the Jindan stage cultivators for a day or two.

The various large and small righteous sects and families also began to set up three lines of defense at the border of the East China Sea - Luosong Mountains - Bianliang to deal with this demonic calamity.

While Lei Yunzi was chatting with Lin Fan and Lin Shan, two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Song Dynasty royal family walked in from the door of the main hall. One of them was the old man who had captured Lin Shan that night, and the other was a middle-aged man who was probably just back from the outside world.

The two royal foundation-building masters had apparently also heard the news and came to discuss the defense of the capital with Lei Yunzi.

They were also worried about the three evil sects. After all, they had participated in the nationwide campaign to clean up the Black Lotus Sect. They were considered pawns of the righteous side and naturally were in the same boat. They were also afraid of being liquidated by the evil sects.

The few of them chatted from day till late at night, and then they went their separate ways.

……

After returning to the side hall, Lin Fan finally said goodbye to Lin Shan. He planned to return to Zixiao Sect as soon as possible, and this training had to be terminated halfway.

As he spoke, Lin Fan seemed to be quite emotional, pulling Lin Shan's sleeve and chattering non-stop.

"You and I, brothers, will work together and create a great story in the world of cultivation in the future!"

Lin Shan got goosebumps after hearing this and quickly slapped his hand away, "I'm sorry, I'm not gay and I don't have a homosexual tendency!"

After the two of them said goodbye to each other, Lin Fan left the capital city on a flying boat overnight.

……

Lin Shan had a look of unwillingness on his face. Hidden in the palace was a giant black lotus Buddha statue brought back from Zangke County. This matter had been on his mind for a long time, like a thorn in his throat.

But now there are two people in the royal family who are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he has no way to do it.

After thinking for a while, he also prepared to leave the capital. After all, it was not a good idea to stay here and wait for opportunities. What if the next target of the three evil sects' attack was here, it would be too late for him to leave.

However, before leaving, Lin Shan returned to Nightingale, intending to inquire about Princess Guo's news and see if there was any chance to get rid of her.

Recently, several book friends have asked me this question, and I will give a unified reply here.

Why does the protagonist come out to take risks? Why doesn’t he stay low and practice?
Because the golden finger is to collect and strengthen everywhere, if you hide and practice it, it will be equivalent to destroying your own martial arts.

If you don't use the golden finger and waste your life to practice slowly, what's the difference between you and a passerby? Just wait to die of old age.
Moreover, the collection of ancient rhymes is all about seizing the opportunity. If a few years pass and the Jiangdong ruins are completely looted, where will the protagonist go to find them? As the old saying goes, opportunity waits for no one.

For book friends who ask good questions or find bugs, I will patiently explain and absorb.

I can only ban those who use bad words and curse others.

Many places are linked together with the outline. I can’t figure it out for now, but you will understand it when the foreshadowing comes out later. I won’t spoil the plot.
