Immortal Road.

Lin Shan led most of the people back to Xun Gu Sect, while a small number of people from Bailu Academy stayed behind to help them guard the place.

With Zhong Shenxiu in charge here for the time being, there shouldn't be too much to worry about.

If the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect and the Ghost Valley Holy Land want to invade again, they should take this bridgehead first. I left a positioning item for myself. When Zhong Shenxiu activates it, according to the distance between Lu Xi and Lu Zhong, it won't be long before he can descend through the void!

So you can leave with peace of mind.

About half a day after returning to Tianfu Mountain, news came from the Star Sea.

It turned out that Qian Bu, who was far away in the Ghost Valley Holy Land, learned of the great defeat of the allied forces of the White Deer Academy Holy Land and sent a message to Xinghai through the Nine Abyss Star Vortex.

“Godfather! I have heard that Venerable Viwu has fallen. His killing intent lineage has disintegrated and I have taken the opportunity to absorb and devour it. The Liang lineage leader has lost a great help, so things are finally much better for me. Hehe, thank you, Godfather.”

Lin Shan didn't even need to look to know how happy Qian Bu, that traitor, was.

The Ghost Valley Holy Land suffered a crushing defeat, and its people were filled with anxiety and despair. Only he could manage a smile.

"Father, besides this person, the Ghost Valley Holy Land also has a branch master of the Soldier Soul Stream, who is also a major adversary of mine. If we can eliminate him..."

"Ok?"

Lin Shan was immediately displeased and snorted coldly.

"You little brat, you're really pushing your luck! What do you take me for? How dare you order me around?"

"No, no, no, I had no such intention!"

Qianbu hurriedly explained from the other end of the star vortex, fearing that Lin Shan would misunderstand.

"You now have the formidable combat power of Zhong Shenxiu, a great supernatural being. He is a sharp and swift blade; he can kill Venerable Viwu, and naturally he can kill other Venerables as well."

"If you help me get rid of one more, I can defeat the Liang clan leader fair and square in the internal struggle and seize power!"

"You should know that the position of Holy Master of the Ghost Valley Holy Land is currently vacant. If I am elected, then we will definitely gather the power of the Holy Land to support my adoptive father!"

That's quite a tempting offer.

Lin Shan, however, was not buying it at all!
"Don't make empty promises to your father. We'll talk about that later. First, let's see if you can complete the tasks I'm about to assign you!"

"What are your instructions, Godfather?"

"Do you know how many primordial spirit incarnations Lord Yanxi has in total?"

"Uh, I don't know."

Qian Bu stated that although he had already climbed to a high position, he had only been in the holy land for a short time and had no access to such core secrets.

Moreover, these several Yuan Nian clones are all trump cards that the Nascent Soul stage cultivators must keep secret, and Lord Yanxi would not expose them to the outside world.

Even his closest confidants don't know how many primordial spirit incarnations he has.

"Do you know where his true form is hidden?"

"I don't know."

Qianbu honestly replied that he didn't know either.

Lin Shan didn't blame him; the reaction was expected. Yanxi Shenjun was so lewd that he certainly wouldn't expose himself easily. Asking him was just a last resort.

But his attitude toward Qianbu instantly turned cold:
"Hmph, you know nothing about this and that, what use are you!"

Qianbu trembled with fright over there.

"Godfather, it's really not my fault. Lord Yanxi is always elusive, how was I supposed to know where he was hiding?"

"Do you have any personal items that reveal its true nature?"

"this one"

Qianbu pondered for a moment.

"It seems not, but I can try to ask for it. I wonder what Godfather wants his personal belongings for?"

"That's not something you need to worry about."

Even without being told, it's easy to guess that it's either tracking or cursing. What else could it be?

Qianbu immediately accepted the order and left.

Guigu Hall.

The place was eerily dark and gloomy, with only clusters of green will-o'-the-wisps burning eerily, and occasionally a crisp popping sound coming from the brazier.

The old voice finally rang out in the empty hall after a full half hour.

"What business do you have with this old man?"

Qian Bu then stood up from the ground; he had been kneeling the whole time.

He bowed respectfully to greet the other person and inquired whether they were well.

The god of anguish replied coldly:

"What, you've learned about the fighting at the front, and you've come here to mock me?"

"I dare not. I only heard about the setbacks at the front, so I wanted to share the burden for the Supreme Elder and the Ghost Valley Holy Land."

"How exactly will you share the burden?"

"Bu Yuan is willing to lead the army and personally lead an expedition to Bailu Academy to secure a bridgehead for the Supreme Elder in Lu!"

"Oh?"

Lord Yanxi never expected that at this critical moment, everyone in the Ghost Valley Holy Land was in a panic, and only Qianbu dared to stand up!
But he wasn't easily fooled, and immediately let out a sinister laugh.

"The leader of the Ancient Searching Sect is your godfather, and he is also a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Do you really dare to go and make an enemy of him?"

Qian Bu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Although he was once my godfather, he never helped me in the slightest. On the contrary, he constantly made demands on me. The Ghost Valley Holy Land never asked me for anything. On the contrary, they have been cultivating and nurturing me. It is obvious who treated me better!"

"As the saying goes, a loyal minister does not serve two masters, but when it comes to one's master's school, one must put righteousness before family."

"Besides, I am a great supernatural being leading troops there. Zhong Shenxiu is clearly guarding the place. The arrogant and conceited leader of Xun Gu Sect would never personally deal with me; that would be beneath his dignity."

"When I kill Zhong Shenxiu in battle, I will make him lose an arm!"

Seeing his confidence, Lord Yanxi couldn't help but ask a question in his soul.

"Whether the leader of the Xun Gu Sect will personally take action against you is another matter. Zhong Shenxiu just killed the Venerable Weiwu, the head of the Killing Intent Stream of my Holy Land. What makes you think you are Zhong Shenxiu's match, let alone the one who killed such a person?"

Qian Bu remained neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed.

"The reason why Venerable Viwu was killed was because he abandoned his strength, namely the military formation enhancement of the Killing Intent lineage. Without this, he was naturally no match for ordinary great supernatural beings, so it is not surprising that he was killed by Zhong Shenxiu."

"If I had gone there, without the interference of the Ancient Seeking Cult Master, and fought him one-on-one based on real skill, I would never have lost to him."

"This kid is not as scary as we imagine. Everything he has is due to luck. As long as he can hold his ground and with the help of his allies, it won't be difficult for him to make a comeback. I think the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect thinks so too."

Lord Yanxi shook his head.

"You've overlooked the most crucial point: Luxi is so close to Bailu Academy, it won't take Xun Gu Cult Leader a short time to get there. What if Zhong Shenxiu asks for help then?"

Qianbu spread his hands.

"Wouldn't that be perfect? ​​You and the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect can make thorough preparations again, unleash your trump card, and kill his true form once and for all, thus eliminating this person once and for all!"

"."

Lord Yanxi didn't reply. He must have also thought about revenge and how to kill Lin Shan's true form. However, he certainly wouldn't act like Qian Bu, who was too hasty and rushed. He hadn't even discussed things with the Sword Master Minghuang and the Sword Venerable Lvzhu before acting rashly.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now. I'll call you when you're fully prepared for the next round."

Lord Yanxi told him to step back and wait for further instructions.

Qianbu tactfully took his leave, but before leaving, he suddenly brought up something.

"With the death of Venerable Viktor, the Killing Intent lineage suffered heavy casualties, with less than one in ten surviving. I thought it wouldn't be right for me and Lineage Leader Liang to jointly govern the Military Formation lineage. It would be better to give the Killing Intent lineage to me, and I would become the lineage leader. This way, I can separate from Lineage Leader Liang and avoid future entanglements."

After hearing this, Lord Yanxi thought it over carefully and nodded.

He had recently heard about the fact that Liang, the head of the Liang lineage, was forming factions and engaging in open and covert struggles with Qian Bu within the Guigu Holy Land.

In reality, such internal strife only depletes the vital resources of one's own holy land and does not benefit future development.

Now, we might as well give the killing intent to Qian Bu, let him set up his own sect and break away from Liang's military formation, which should alleviate the pressure to some extent.

Thinking of this, Lord Yanxi, for the sake of the Holy Land, did not suspect anything else and assumed that Qianbu wanted to expand his power, so he wrote him a handwritten edict.

"That's right!"

"Thank you, Elder."

Qianbu bowed deeply, took the edict that appeared in the void, and without lingering, turned and left the hall without even looking back.

After he left, a person walked out from behind the main hall.

It was none other than the Liang family head!

"Uncle-Master, are you just going to let him do this, letting him unleash his killing intent?!"

"Hey~ There weren't many people left in the Killing Intent Sect to begin with, just a few big and small ones. Let them do whatever they want."

The god Yanxi turned and left, disappearing as a mottled projection.

"My intention in doing this is also to separate you. You were all pillars of my holy land, why did it have to come to this?"

"Now that he has power and his wings have grown strong, it is best not to clash with him, otherwise I will not take sides."

"Also, after you go down there, mobilize the troops and prepare for the next campaign."

Liang, the clan leader, was unwilling, but dared not show it on the surface and could only respectfully agree.

After they were finished, Qianbu rushed back excitedly, first taking the edict from Lord Yanxi to completely incorporate the Killing Intent Stream!

This includes the cultivators who remained, their territory, their heritage, and their resources.
Good heavens, they ate until they were all fat and bloated, having a wonderful time!

His followers also left the military formation faction and came to the killing intent faction, following Qian Bu down the dark path.

As a result, Qianbu's power surged, surpassing Liang's lineage leader and gaining even greater prestige in the Ghost Valley Holy Land!
After dealing with these matters, he immediately returned to the secret chamber, took out the edict from Lord Yanxi, and sent it to Lin Shan through the Nine Abyss Star Vortex.

"Godfather, how about this?"

Lin Shan took it and smiled, offering a few words of encouragement:
"Indeed, this is an item imbued with the aura of the true form of the God of Annihilation. My son, you have put in a lot of effort."

Qianbu then revealed that Yanxi Shenjun was planning to join forces with the Chunqiu Sword Sect to assassinate his true form.

Lin Shan nodded indifferently, indicating that he understood and asked him to investigate further and report back.

Immediately afterwards, a curse altar was set up at Tianfu Mountain in Xun Gu Sect!

That old codger, Lord Yanxi, dares to oppose me time and time again. He's really asking for trouble.

This time, I'm going to make you the first one to test the power of my supreme divine abilities!

The Seven Arrows of Nailhead, upgraded with the authorization of the Immortal Book, is completely different from the previous version, and it also has a new altar, which is an integral part of the Curse Divine Power.

Following the instructions, Lin Shan spent a lot of materials to have the Black Skull Demon Lord craft one for him.

Because the materials are all available, and some are even beyond the scope, it is easy to imbue the item with spirit and reach the level of a spiritual treasure.

The only drawback is that the Cursed Spirit is still trying to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage, so it can't help him curse others for the time being, but the Seven Arrows of Nailhead Book is enough to summon creatures.

After arranging all the props, Lin Shan deliberately hid alone in a dark secret room again after such a long time, placed the edict of Lord Yanxi in the center, drew his bow and shot an arrow straight at the straw figure!

Huh~~

The next moment, Lin Shan's Yuan Nian also entered the straw figure.

There was a special passage leading to the depths of nothingness. He quickly floated in, traversing the void space, thinking to himself that this old thing had hidden quite far away.

However, he didn't want to alert the enemy, so he first observed the situation from a distance.

Only then did they realize that Lord Yanxi had hidden himself in a fragment of a world in the outer void.

It's not a fragment of another world, but a place that Linshan once occupied.

Fragments of the Little Yi Continent World!
"No wonder this place looked so familiar. So this is it?"

Lin Shan was very surprised. If it were any other secret realm, he really wouldn't have recognized it, but he knew Xiaoyizhou very well.

Moreover, the original inhabitants have also undergone tremendous changes.

Originally, this place was mostly filled with people who accidentally fell into the spatial turbulence and survived. From the three-way balance of power to the present day, the world has truly changed!

Both the righteous and the demonic paths have disappeared, partly because Sailor Moon took most of the elites with her back then.

The barbarian tribes had long been ravaged and were in a terrible state. Even with a period of rest and recuperation, they continued to decline due to a lack of resources.

Looking back now, there are very few people in the entire Xiaoyi Continent who have surpassed the Golden Core stage, while the true form of Lord Yanxi is serving as a minor Qi Refining stage priest in a small barbarian tribe!
That was really well hidden!
He is currently teaching a few children in the village how to perform tricks.

suddenly,

His expression changed drastically as he sensed something unusual deep within his primordial spirit.

It seemed as if some unknown entity had locked onto me, and then I felt an unbearable itch all over my body, as if I were possessed by something that was gnawing at my body.

"Hahahahaha~"

A hearty laugh echoed from beyond the heavens.

"This great lord was wandering aimlessly in the heavens, and just happened to be lucky enough to receive a huge order!"

Upon closer inspection, a white-boned lord was falling from the sky!
He had personally experienced this. During his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, he acted recklessly, thinking his target was easy to bully, and wanted to devour Lin Shan.

In the end, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he destroyed his own primordial spirit.

Now that the curse list has been spread, it has attracted a Nascent Soul stage White Bone Lord, which is a good start and makes Lin Shan feel very excited.

He leisurely watched how Xi Shenjun would break through.
The other side dared not pretend anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to fight.

The strength of the Nascent Soul stage can be developed in different directions, each with its own focus.

Yanxi God Lord is a member of the military formation school, but where are there so many outstanding disciples here for him to take on? He couldn't win a few moves in a row, so he could only frantically run away, trying to avoid his sharp edge, solve his own curse problem first, and then see how strong this White Bone Lord really is.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

When the White Bone Lord saw that he wanted to run away, he immediately used his signature move.

Soul possession!
