Immortal Road.

Qianbu rubbed his eyes, afraid it was just his imagination.

But the cruel reality is right in front of them, tearing away the truth in a bloody way: the leader of the Xun Gu Sect is the leader of the Kun Sect, and Lin Shan is his godfather!

"My son, upon seeing your father, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"

Lin Shan, dressed in a black robe and hood, had a solemn and dignified appearance. For some reason, his voice had a loud reverberation! It buzzed in his ears like a great bell, deafening!
"Puff~"

A sound rang out, and everyone looked closely.

It turned out that some of the disciples of Guigu Temple with lower cultivation levels were forced to kneel down because they couldn't withstand the powerful aura. A large number of them knelt down with a clatter!

Qianbu was furious!
"Alright, alright, so it's you, you old scoundrel! I haven't even gone looking for you yet, and you dare to show up in front of me."

He was so angry that his face turned red and his face twitched. He thought about how he had just been listing the details of how Xun Gu Cult Leader was going to capture Kun Cult Leader, but he never expected that Xun Gu Cult Leader was actually Kun Cult Leader!
The bunch of random things in his hands were exactly what he had played with back in Jiuyou Peak Forest Mountain.

This immense humiliation made him tremble all over, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he struck out.

"Die to me!"

The three ghostly figures behind him suddenly stood up, towering dozens of feet tall, and simultaneously stretched out their large hands to strike down, seemingly intending not only to kill Lin Shan, but also to destroy the entire area around the Xun Gu Sect's camp!
Boom——

A blinding light burst forth instantly, causing most people to close their eyes involuntarily. Their vital energy dissipated into starlight, while a powerful hurricane swept across the surroundings.

Splash splash splash splash~~~
Time seemed to stand still, as the jade shattered in the cold pool and the waves crashed against the shore.

Once the mist cleared, everyone took a closer look.

They discovered that the entire Xun Gu Sect was unharmed, while a large portion of the Ghost Valley Holy Land army's front line had been blown away!

Lin Shan saved everyone with a swift move, while Qian Bu's side was thrown into chaos, clearly demonstrating the difference in their abilities.

"How naughty! How can a father and son be so cruel when they meet?"

Qian Bu was shocked. His hands were trembling slightly, hidden in his sleeves and difficult to control. Although it was just a casual strike, it was not something that an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could withstand, let alone injure him!
Through a brief encounter, he could clearly understand the strength of both sides. The opponent was the weakest, but just like himself, he was also a great master.

No wonder he dared to reveal his identity so directly; it turns out he has also become a great master, so he had to come clean with himself!

"Very well, you don't think that just because you've become a great supernatural being, you can compete with me, do you?"

Qian Bu's eyes were fierce, like a wolf, and he waved his hand.

"Array up!"

drink--

Behind him, the thousands of soldiers from the Ghost Valley Holy Land roared in unison, and the gray military formation power condensed into liquid in the sky, empowering him alone. The three ghostly figures behind him grew larger, and their overwhelming power covered the Jade Shattered Cold Pool, making people feel insignificant.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Seeking Ancient Sect trembled with fear. This was because the vast difference in strength triggered the instinctive fear of living beings. Then, in the next moment...

The three-headed ghostly figures' eyes lit up with red light, attracting everyone's attention. They instantly felt their spiritual energy draining away rapidly, being continuously drawn away by the other side.

The invisible military formation trapped the Xun Gu Sect's camp, covering the entire battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles. It draws power from its opponents to sustain itself; attacking it is equivalent to attacking itself. This is the power of the Ghost Valley Military Formation!
Qianbu Faxiang merged with the spirit of the military formation, instantly possessing the combined strength of the two camps. With just a wave of his hand, the three ghostly figures rushed out and disappeared!
Boom boom boom~~~
A crimson sea of ​​fire filled the area, and only red mist could be seen floating in the deep underground pool. Three shadows darted around, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

"Master?"

The members of the Xun Gu Sect instinctively sought refuge, only to discover that Lin Shan had vanished.

All they could hear were muffled sounds all around, and the sounds of fierce fighting echoed in their ears. This was a war on another level, one that they couldn't possibly observe!
Suddenly, a large, golden club appeared and slammed down on the opposing army.

The members of the Seeking Antiquity Sect recognized it at a glance—it was the sect leader's totem pillar!
This massive club now stretches across the heavens and earth, spanning dozens of miles in length. It is surrounded by red light, and countless starlight seeps out from the cracks in the underground rocks. The hazy, misty light flows with blue starlight as it thrusts into the center with the force of a plow sweeping through a cave!
"Crackling and rumbling~~~"

A black line several miles long was suddenly torn open, and dense thunderous sounds came from within, as if ten thousand thunderbolts were descending upon the world!

A terrified voice suddenly came from somewhere:
"Galactic Divine Essence, tearing through the void, you are a Primordial Spirit Grandmaster!!!"

Bang!
The entire earth trembled, the violent earthquake leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented, staggering about, as a surging storm of stellar energy spread from the center to the edges.

The Guigu army suffered heavy casualties, and its formation was torn apart.

The three ghostly figures, which were originally elusive, now moved slowly, as if cast in lead, and were targeted by the Star Ember Divine Essence to explode at the center, blooming into countless glimmers of light!

Lin Shan emerged from the mist step by step, his expression calm and relaxed, as if it were nothing more than a casual game of make-believe.

He didn't even use any great supernatural powers this time. He simply relied on the advantage of his Nascent Soul stage realm and the Star Essence Divine Essence attached to the totem pole to defeat Qian Bu in one fell swoop!
"You unfilial son, you've only achieved a little success, yet you've become so arrogant and disregard your own family. You've really got a death wish! Your godfather is still your godfather. Dealing with you is a piece of cake."

The Xun Gu Sect was well protected, and Lin Shan had been keeping an eye on it. On the other side, however, there was widespread suffering and bloodshed. Qian Bu's elite forces were wiped out overnight, and the sect suffered a severe blow.

At this moment, due to the backlash from the military formation, his Dharma form was broken, and he was suddenly forced out.

He fell from the sky into the Jade Shattered Cold Pool, soaking wet like a drowned rat, and looked like a stray dog ​​in a panic.

"No, no, this is impossible. Back then, you were just a Golden Core cultivator like me. How come you've become a Nascent Soul expert after only a few decades?"

He roared wildly, his hair disheveled, looking exactly like a madman, shouting and screaming as if he had lost his mind.

"I have experienced countless ups and downs, endured humiliation and hardship, and struggled to get to where I am today. It is not easy for a person with great supernatural powers to achieve this, and the primordial spirit is no ordinary thing."

"This must be an illusion. I must still be in the mortal world, in the sea of ​​stars. I haven't come out yet."

"This is unfair! This is unfair!"

His tone was filled with sorrow, anger, disbelief, and incomprehension, encompassing all the joys and sorrows one could imagine in the world.

The disciples of the Ghost Valley Holy Land scattered in all directions, while the members of the Xun Gu Sect were dumbfounded.

The cult leader was not a great supernatural being after all.

Or is it a powerful being of the primordial spirit?

Lin Shan walked over slowly, looking down at his eldest son with a look of pity on his face.

"Your experience is certainly inspiring, and it may seem like a legend to outsiders, but you must know that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your reach. There will always be people in this world who have experienced more and grown faster than you. Arrogance and pride will inevitably lead to defeat!"

"It's just a tiny, insignificant achievement. Look at your smug and petty character. No wonder you've ended up like this."

"So many years have passed, and you haven't changed at all. Your future achievements will probably stop here." Qian Bu was in a frenzy and collapsed. He looked up to the sky and roared. At the most successful time of his life, he had finally become a great supernatural being and thought he had reached the pinnacle of this world.

But having just started out and before he even had a chance to make a name for himself, he was brutally beaten by Lin Shan, the sixth brother who was pretending to be weak while actually being strong. His psychological trauma was amplified to an extreme degree!
In the face of a true Nascent Soul cultivator, his methods, comparable to those of a great supernatural being, were simply a joke and couldn't last more than a few rounds.

The other party even played along the whole time, never putting up a full-force attack!
At this moment, the victor is king and the loser is villain; there is nothing to say. He is soaking in water, feeling utterly pathetic and hopeless, no different from a beggar.

"Fine, seeing how much pain you're in, I'll just give you a quick death. Remember to be reborn into a better family in your next life."

As he spoke, Lin Shan shook his head and sighed, then reached out and pressed his palm against Qian Bu's head, about to send this unfilial son to his death.

Upon hearing this, Qianbu suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and immediately knelt down, kowtowing frantically.

"Godfather, please don't! Godfather, I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance! I will definitely reform myself and follow your lead from now on! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I am willing to be your dog. Give me all the dirty and hard work! Please don't kill me, Godfather!"

Seeing that he was begging for mercy repeatedly in an attempt to save himself, and even swearing an oath to sign another indenture, Lin Shan felt a pang of pity.

"You unfilial son, how could I, as your father, willingly betray you for the greater good? It's just that your wicked nature is hard to eradicate, and you won't change your ways. I fear you'll become a burden to me in the future, betraying me and turning against me. So, I'll send you on your way."

Qianbu was in tears, his nose running.

"I don't need a godfather. I have value, I still have value!"

"I am, after all, a great master, and it is extremely rare for me to have subordinates who have been trained to this level. They can often run errands for you. Taking me in will save me a lot of trouble."

"Furthermore, my position in the Ghost Valley Holy Land is extremely high, second only to the leader. This can greatly benefit you and the Seeking Ancient Sect, allowing us to form an alliance with each other, which would be very advantageous!"

Lin Shan looked conflicted and seemed quite tempted, but in the end he hardened his heart and refused to give Hao Da'er a chance. He raised his hand to kill him!

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up to kill you. Put your hopes on the next life."

"No! Godfather."

Qian Bu's desperate cries echoed throughout the entire area. Everyone from the Xun Gu Sect craned their necks to watch, while the remaining disciples of the Ghost Valley Holy Land looked on with sorrowful expressions, only able to watch helplessly as Qian Bu knelt there, waiting for death.

But just then, a powerful chill suddenly surged from behind, and the Jade Shattered Cold Pool seemed to have entered the Ice Age.

Click, click, click.
The spatial rift was frozen along the way by frost. A white light came in an instant, obviously having been lying in wait for a long time. It rescued Qianbu from Lin Shan's hands and then fled!

"Haha, you're here just in time! We've been waiting for you!"

Lin Shan laughed loudly, and a giant wind tunnel suddenly rose outside the spatial rift, completely blocking the exit and swallowing the white light whole.

"Sir, you..."

Qian Bu was suddenly released and left outside the spatial rift. He was initially overjoyed that the Ice Python had come to rescue him, but little did he know that this was Lin Shan's trap. Clearly, Lin Shan's real intention was not what he expected, but to capture the Ice Spirit Illusion Python that had been hiding and following him all along!
"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

The wind tunnel echoed with the terrifying breath of a giant python, accompanied by a thunderous battle, as if two different, peerless ferocious creatures were fighting.

Lin Shan stood with his hands behind his back, not entering the battle in his physical form, but simply standing there quietly, with some creature inside serving him.

At this moment, he was not worried about the battle situation at all, and even had the leisure to chat with Qianbu.

"My son, it's all thanks to you that we were able to lure out this ice python. You cooperated very well. It seems your acting skills have improved since we last met."

"not me."

Qian Bu was dumbfounded. He really didn't know that Lin Shan had just been entrapping him, and that he was just an earthworm used to lure fish to bite the hook.

Sure enough, a furious curse came from inside the wind tunnel:
"Qian Bu, you ungrateful scoundrel! I risked so much to save you, and you actually conspired with outsiders to swindle me!"

The ice python had clearly misunderstood. While struggling inside, it was also distracted by eavesdropping outside. Upon hearing this, it was indeed furious, resenting Qian Bu for betraying it and setting it up for her.

Qianbu was so anxious that his face turned pale, and he could only try to explain but was powerless to do anything about it.

Lin Shan continued to sow discord and stir up trouble, trying to disturb the demon's mind.

"Hahaha, you're nothing but a beast, using my son to seek your own personal gain. How can you compare that to the father-son bond we've shared for hundreds of years? You deserve this calamity today. Once you're trapped, don't even think about getting out. Just surrender obediently!"

At this moment, Qian Bu sensed that the aura of the ice python inside had weakened suddenly, and his mind became active. He suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and following Lin Shan's words, he turned around and started cursing the ice python!
"That's right. My godfather is incredibly powerful, and even more outstanding among those of the same level. Since you, a mere little demon, have been locked up, why don't you quickly surrender? Any attempt to disobey will only lead to your own destruction!"

"???"

The ice python in the wind tunnel was suddenly thrown into disarray.

Its original intention was to risk its life to help Qian Bu when it saw that he was no match for him. The main reason was that it had not yet obtained all the ice-melting stones from the Ghost Valley Holy Land, so Qian Bu was still a useful piece.

Who knew this guy would sell himself out so easily!

It's a good thing you still call me godmother. So you don't sell other people's godmothers?

It was so angry it could hardly breathe. The struggle inside became increasingly difficult. It had never seen such a shameless person in its entire life!
At this moment, Qian Bu didn't care about anything else in order to survive. He used all his skills to frantically interfere with the ice python inside in order to please Lin Shan.

Lin Shan chatted and laughed as he looked at another empty space, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

"Don't worry, your family's Supreme Elder is on his way through the void, in less than ten breaths. Guess how he'll save you?"

Qian Bu was overjoyed. The Supreme Elder of the Ghost Valley Holy Land? If this person came, he would truly be saved.

But seeing Lin Shan's confident demeanor, she immediately became a little insecure and quickly forced a smile.
"What does the godfather intend to do with the child?"

"Let's see what price your Supreme Elder of the Ghost Valley Holy Land offers!"

Lin Shan said with a smile.

He wasn't the type to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Qian Bu was no longer a threat to him, so whether he killed him or not was irrelevant. The key was whether he could secure enough benefits for Qian Bu.

"coming."

As soon as the words fell, the void in front of them suddenly tore open, and an old man in his primordial spirit form hurriedly descended.

It was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Ghost Valley Holy Land! (End of Chapter)
