Immortal Road.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of battle cries erupted outside the main hall, a chaotic and captivating cacophony that shook the very soul!

The high-ranking members of the Xun Gu Sect were all startled and stood up to react, but were stopped by many Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Ghost Valley Holy Land.

"you."

"Hahahahaha!"

Elder Huiming was the first to burst into wild laughter, and then ruthlessly attacked Master Mandui and Dongchanzi.

"I've had my eye on the Ancient Seeking Sect for a long time. I can finally teach you a lesson. You even dared to send people to monitor the Holy Land from the opposite direction. You've gone too far!"

This person attacked without restraint, with wide, sweeping movements; it was impossible to tell if he was the real person.

"Hmph, you all ostracized me in the first two levels, now it's time for your retribution, let you know how to face the Holy Land's envoy!"

Elder Huicong also found Ancestor Luque, and his words seemed to reveal a lot of pent-up anger.

However, this can be confirmed as a figure from an illusion, because the real Elder Huicong should not be in the Red Dust Star Sea at this moment, but should still be wandering around the Xun Gu Sect.

"Leader Lin, don't blame our Holy Land for being ruthless. Blame yourself for being too greedy. You were destined to be cannon fodder, yet you still dared to dream of monopolizing those 20% of the treasure. It's utterly delusional! Do you even think you can hold onto it properly?"

The head of the Liang clan questioned Lin Shan in court, shouting loudly.

"Oh? Master Liang, I've always trusted you, but I never expected you to deceive me like this. Not only did you break your promise, but you also intend to wipe us all out!"

Lin Shan sat on the throne of the sect leader, quietly watching the various expressions of the princes. He did not move at all as the Ancient Search Sect and the Ghost Valley Holy Land fought each other. He just stared at the Liang Clan Leader.

"Hehe, only those who know when to yield can survive. I originally thought that Master Lin was a person of great importance, which is why I brought you into the camp of my Ghost Valley Holy Land, thinking that I could catch the last meal of the Wan Hui Nian spiritual tide and let you have a taste of the soup."

"But you, you really think you're something special, and you're going against my holy land at every turn. You've really gotten too bold!"

"Is the 20% profit from the Dark River Layer and the Jade Shattered Cold Pool something you should be entitled to?"

"You should have foreseen this situation today, given your arrogance and haughtiness towards Junior Sister Huimiao back then. So, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

The Liang family head stared intently at him, trying to see even the slightest hint of regret in his eyes.

"Ah~~~"

The Xun Gu Sect was gradually losing ground, and two of its Nascent Soul cultivators were killed by the Ghost Valley Holy Land. The battle at Tianfu Mountain had entered a fierce stage, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Lin Shan watched everything indifferently, without the slightest emotion.

He knew it was all fake, so he didn't care at all, and he didn't need to worry about the lives of his subordinates. It was only the Liang family head...
Is it really a real person?
This is precisely what troubles him: if he kills the Liang clan leader in this illusion, it would be equivalent to erasing him in reality as well.

If half of these people are real people, wouldn't I be causing great harm to the Ghost Valley Holy Land?
If the news leaks out, it will surely enrage the Holy Land!
He didn't want to be noticed by the Holy Land; he just wanted to take this opportunity to see what else the illusion could present to him, and also to use this deduction to simulate how long the Ancient Seeking Sect could hold out if it really encountered an attack from a Holy Land-level power.

Time passed in this stalemate.

He and Liang, the head of the Liang clan, remained inactive, while their men fought fiercely!
The resilience of the Seeking Ancient Sect exceeded expectations; their resistance was exceptionally fierce, with most disciples fighting with all their might until the very last moment.

Master Zhankong's blood splattered across the sky, Ancestor Luque was brutally slaughtered, Dong Chanzi died on the spot, and Wu Hanqiao fought valiantly to his death.
"Master, master!"

Two young men, Lu Tou and Ma Mian, were wailing and holding the corpse of the old master Lu Que.

These two obtained treasures brought back from the spiritual tide of Leibo Sea and have both broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming rare young Nascent Soul cultivators. They are the unparalleled geniuses of the Xun Gu Sect who have made a name for themselves in the Lu Kingdom.

His eyes were bloodshot as he watched his master fall into a pool of blood, filled with hatred for the murderer.

Elder Huicong's face was contorted with rage, displaying the sickly demeanor of a victor, and he shifted his gaze to the two of them.

"Haha, you two are his disciples, aren't you? Just as expected, you're all from the same lineage, with long faces on your heads, neither human nor beast, just die!"

"You scoundrel, give me back my master's life!"

The two young men rushed forward, and soon both perished.

This battle was extremely fierce, with almost everyone in the Xun Gu Sect dying. Only Mu Yan persevered to the end, and his hands were stained with the blood of at least five Nascent Soul cultivators, including some in the late Nascent Soul stage!
He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently. Even though his true energy was about to run out, his gaze remained sharp as a knife, frightening the remaining people into not daring to approach.

"Sect Leader Lin, even now you're still not making a move?"

The Liang lineage leader was very puzzled. The Xun Gu Sect was a force that Lin Shan had personally supported, so why had it been able to hold back until now without making a move?

Lin Shan kept observing, looking at every corner of the field, until he had a clear understanding of the situation!
He suddenly clapped his hands and burst into laughter.

"Haha, I see, I get it now."

"What do you mean?"

Master Liang was completely bewildered, not knowing what had gotten into him. However, a Golden Core cultivator behind him felt a chill run down his spine. He tried to get away, but it was too late!
Lin Shan merely trembled slightly before instantly teleporting from the throne to above his head, the massive wind tunnel immediately enveloping him!
"Uncle-Master Duan Tong?"

Master Liang cried out in alarm as the aura of a powerful being suddenly reverberated within. He tried to break free no matter how hard he tried, but could only hear his screams echoing outwards.

"No, that's not right. You're not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator; you're also a Great Divine Power Master!"

The many Nascent Soul stage cultivators outside the Ghost Valley Holy Land were greatly alarmed, and some of them had glints in their eyes, clearly harboring ulterior motives.

Lin Shan had already locked onto these people during his observation. His eyes shone brightly, piercing through the mountain and the valley. A God-Slaying Blade Disc appeared above his head, and one after another God-Slaying Flying Blades flew out with a whoosh!

clang clang clang clang clang
Like lotus leaves, they bloom and spread out in the blink of an eye.

Those Nascent Soul stage cultivators were cut down like grass, each one instantly bleeding on the spot!
With a wave of his hand, an invisible wave spread out, and an aura of misfortune enveloped the entire area, affecting everyone indiscriminately, so there was no need to worry about accidental injury.

In an instant, natural disasters struck, and the lower-ranking disciples cried out for their parents, dying one after another.

The Liang family head, incredulous, pointed at him:
“You you you you.”

"What are you!"

Lin Shan's sudden outburst and subsequent series of actions were clearly the result of careful consideration and countless rehearsals in his mind. He was determined to be ruthless and eliminate all those who were suspected!

Once someone has time to react and escape the illusion, their great supernatural power and secrets are likely to be exposed, and some may even guess that they have also come to the Red Dust Star Sea.

The aura of misfortune was indeed powerful, covering an area of ​​a hundred miles. The Ghost Valley Holy Land was filled with wails, and the lower-level disciples were all caught in various disasters.

Some slipped and fell into the ground fissures, some were surrounded and bitten by Gu worms that could not be driven away, some were shrouded in poisonous miasma and their bodies were covered in pus, and some were enveloped in ice and fire, experiencing a bittersweet sensation.

Meanwhile, Duan Tong, inside the wind tunnel, was struggling against the tyranny of the Ghost Valley Holy Land. He carried tens of thousands of Yin soldiers with him, using the formation to gather strength and resist natural disasters. However, he was being tormented by the constant strangulation of the wind tunnel.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the disciples of the Ghost Valley Holy Land outside and take out the life-saving talisman given to him by the Ghost Valley Grand Elder. This talisman contained the power of the primordial spirit, which could make him immune to illusions and escape from dangerous people.

However, this symbol, once activated, has no effect whatsoever!
Under the cover of the power of the primordial spirit, Duan Tong was indeed no longer disturbed by the illusion, but he was still trapped in the Wind Tunnel Great Divine Power, isolated from the outside world.

"Wait, you're not an illusion, you're a real person too?" Duan Tong was dumbfounded!

He had thought that the Ancient Seeking Cult Master was already amazing enough, but it turned out that this guy was not an illusion, but his real body. He came here, entered the Red Dust Star Sea, and encountered him.

Lin Shan outside gave a cold laugh.

He had known all along that this guy was the real person. From instructing the Liang Clan Master to test the Burning Spirit Illusion Fire to attacking the Seeking Ancient Sect, he had been taking advantage of the chaos, keeping his attention firmly on him.

Even though the Ghost Valley Holy Land has seen several Nascent Soul cultivators die in succession, and even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has perished, they can still refrain from showing themselves, which proves that this person does not belong to the illusion.

Therefore, instead of using the Soul-Devouring Prison to lock the soul, he used the Wind Tunnel Space to completely seal it off!
The Liang clan leader outside rushed forward to rescue him, but Lin Shan easily blocked him. In a fit of anger, Lin Shan threw the True Spirit Thunder Elephant inside. These two combined supernatural powers were originally one, and their joint defense against the enemy inside was not a simple matter of cooperation.

Duan Tong screamed until he was hoarse and smoke was coming out, but no one outside came to his rescue.

Until his military spirit was shattered by Lei Xiang and he was powerfully crushed by the wind tunnel space, he finally died in despair inside, his eyes wide open in death!
woohoo~~~
The wind tunnel and the thunder elephant were removed, and Duan Tong disappeared.

Liang Maizhu's eyes were wide open, and his cheeks were bulging, making him look rather adorable.

"Where did you kidnap my Grandmaster from the Holy Land?"

Lin Shan couldn't help but chuckle, and finally saw him off.

"Since everyone's dead, you don't need to live on either."

Bang!
The Liang lineage leader died on the spot, and the entire army of the Ghost Valley Holy Land besieging Tianfu Mountain was wiped out.

The illusion collapsed instantly!

After the scene changed, I returned to the clouds in the sky.

He didn't blink the entire time the illusion dissipated. Dozens of illusions were overlapping each other, meaning that dozens of real people were present in the illusion just now!

The cultivation levels among them varied, ranging from Nascent Soul cultivators to Qi Refining cultivators.

"."

More than half of the storage bags Lin Shan was holding vanished into thin air, leaving behind only exquisite items.

The spoils captured in the illusion cannot be taken out of the illusion, but real people can.

"In other words, I wiped out dozens of people from the Ghost Valley Holy Land in one fell swoop, including a great supernatural being!"

He didn't have time to sort through so many spoils, fearing that some of them might be sensed by powerful beings with primordial spirits. So he quickly picked out the valuable items, and after the enhancement panel confirmed that they were correct, he put them into his possession.

Destroy everything else on site!
Then they quickly changed their appearance and flew rapidly along the clouds. Hundreds of miles away, another giant stone plaza came into view.

He realized that no matter which direction he went, he would eventually arrive here. There was more than one stone forest above this cloud layer; it was just a matter of taking the wrong path.

This time, the person they encountered was not the down-on-his-luck schoolteacher, but a middle-aged swordsman sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed!

At this moment, there were more than a dozen disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect around him, respectfully surrounding him and whispering about something, probably because they had just come out of the illusion.

Upon seeing Lin Shan pass by, especially noticing his attire from the Vast Holy Land, they neither attacked nor greeted him, but simply watched him from afar.

Lin Shan was puzzled, but he did not stop. Instead, he quickly passed through the area and headed north, where he encountered another stone forest.

This time, during the sensing, only a few stone pillars flickered slightly, while the others remained closed.

His sense of crisis intensified, and without bothering to choose carefully, he quickly picked one. A tremendous suction force came from his palm, and he was instantly pulled into it!

And not far away,
Not long after, an old man in black robes flew over and came to the place where Lin Shan had just emerged from the illusion. He remained silent and casually flicked his fingers, as if performing a ritual.

"Who, who on earth could kill Grandmaster Duan Tong? Could it be a Nascent Soul Ancestor from another holy land?"

The old man was completely baffled, and at the same time, he felt a dull pain in his chest.

"Cough cough cough, this is bad, we can't stay here any longer."

He immediately wiped away the traces with his hands, effectively cleaning up Lin Shan's mess.

Then they quickly left the area.

Not long after he left, the middle-aged swordsman that Lin Shan had encountered earlier in the Giant Stone Square arrived with a whoosh, the powerful wind pressure shaking the clouds in the area.

Of course, his attention wasn't on the ground, but on the old man from before.

"What were those old fogies from the Ghost Valley Holy Land doing here? Didn't we agree to divide the territory into five sections, each responsible for guarding a part of it?"

Lin Shan's expression was solemn at this moment.

Because he had come to a battlefield, or more precisely, a battlefield of great supernatural beings, where his opponents were the Flame Venerable Chi Hong and a middle-aged scholar.

This man had a strong face, and his clothes, made of fine silk and satin, were both elegant and noble. He had sharp, angular features and a composed expression.

"Lord Wenxuan, why aren't you properly inspecting your own territory? What are you doing here?"

The Holy Master Wenxuan, also known as the middle-aged scholar, was strolling leisurely, engaging in combat with Venerable Burning Fire Chi Hong while glancing around into the distance.

His eyes possess a profound magic; once you're captivated, it's hard to escape.

Lin Shan finally figured it out!

In the illusory world of the mortal realm, opponents are matched according to one's strength. Great supernatural beings can only meet other great supernatural beings, and Nascent Soul cultivators will face off against Nascent Soul cultivators!

So he travels back and forth to visit all the great supernatural beings.

He remained motionless, hiding there quietly, watching the two sides fight.

The Venerable Burning Fire, Chi Hong, was quite skilled. He fought with the Holy Master Wenxuan for over a hundred rounds, but in the end, he used his Thousand-Mile Fire Escape technique to escape.

Lord Wenxuan did not pursue, but simply stood there slowly, seemingly waiting for something.

Until the sea on both sides suddenly appeared, the passage in the middle was particularly spectacular, looking like a floating bridge built over the sea.

Then the sitting whale suddenly leaped up!

Lord Wenxuan jumped up.

Lin Shan was startled, wondering what was wrong with the other party and why they were making such a commotion. Where were they going?
