Immortal Road.

"Lord Yuxing!"

Lin Shan and the others suddenly turned around and saw that the starlight paved the road in the distance. A figure rushed over quickly, and the Jade Star in the sky had already appeared, firmly fixing the cursed spirit!

"Master, save me~~~"

The cursed spirit screamed and yelled, even after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, it was still the same hopeless case, twisting and turning inside but unable to get out.

"Hahahaha, what master? I, the Divine Lord, am your master! Xing Lingjin, why don't you return at once?"

Yu Xing Shenjun's Star Positioning technique is extremely powerful, able to immobilize a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level from such a distance, truly incomparably strong!

Lin Shan and his avatar tried to make a move, but were blocked by the Holy Lord of Penglai and his men.

Venerable Yushe urgently called out:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, hurry up and leave, or it will be too late! Know when to stop!"

"No, it's my cursed spirit."

Before Lin Shan could finish speaking, two spatial vortexes suddenly appeared above his head, emanating a chilling aura. Clearly, the fall of the two primordial avatars, the Holy Lord of Penglai and the old man in the straw raincoat, had thoroughly enraged the other party, who was willing to summon new avatars from other places to descend!

Meanwhile, towering waves surged in the distant sea, and from the boundary between the sea and the sky, squads of sea creatures wielding tridents rode the water.

"Allies of Penglai, do not panic! The aquatic creatures of the East Sea have come to our aid as promised!"

Two powerful Nascent Soul stage sea creatures have finally arrived. The East Sea is the rear of the Penglai Holy Land. If they were to go out to conquer the continent, they would definitely need to stabilize the surrounding areas in advance. The way to prevent any worries about the rear is to form an alliance with the East Sea sea creatures!

Therefore, as early as the beginning of the establishment of Penglai, its founder swore an oath of blood with the aquatic tribes in the sea, and established a solid friendship to stabilize the rear area.

This practice continues to this day; every Holy Lord makes visiting and contacting people the first thing after taking office.

Now that Penglai Holy Land has been attacked, the East Sea Aquatic Clan is the first to respond to the call to come to the aid, and even dispatched two Primordial Spirit Ancestors at once!

"Fellow Daoist Lin, hurry up and leave, or it will be too late!"

Qu Gong gasped in shock, exclaiming that something was wrong and repeatedly trying to dissuade him.

Lin Shan stared intently in that direction. Yu Xing Shenjun transformed into a starlight and moved swiftly, completely ignoring the fierce battle between the two sides. He cut straight in, his target the cursed spirit.

He had actually been watching the battle near Penglai for a long time. The moment he saw the cursed spirit appear, he couldn't help but want to make a move, but he had endured it until now because of the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation, waiting for an opportunity.

As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

Now that both sides are preoccupied with their own problems, it is the perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of the chaos.

"Hahaha, Grand Steward, why are you struggling? Come back and obediently serve as my subordinate. Wouldn't it be better if we led the Star Palace's hundred races together and recreated the glory of ten thousand years ago?"

"Get out of my way! I am now the cursed spirit of my master, not your chief steward!"

The cursed spirit resisted desperately, which greatly angered Lord Yuxing.

"Hmph! What master? Listen to me, you only have one master, and that is me!"

He spread his large hand, and endless starlight covered it. Under the illumination of the Jade Star, the cursed spirit festered and writhed in agony.

"That brat actually dared to turn you into this inhuman, ghostly figure. I'll settle the score with him sooner or later, but for now, I need to bring you back to my side!"

"No, let me go, I won't go with you."

The screams from that side reached his ears, and the Holy Lord of Penglai saw them and was very surprised. However, he pretended not to hear them and instead wanted to use this to slow down Lin Shan and the others.

In fact, the resurrection of Yu Xing Shenjun is also a mortal enemy of Penglai. They have long been overwhelmed by the mess left by Ancestor Zangyan ten thousand years ago, and now one more or one less will not make a difference.

However, he was happy to see these people fight amongst themselves, so he did not stop them.

Turning around and seeing that his allies from the East China Sea had arrived in time, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now the outcome of this battle should be no more in doubt.

"Old Ghost Yu She, when did you Northern Sea aquatic creatures come to my Eastern Sea to cause trouble? Did you ask our locals for permission first?"

"You think you can mobilize sea monsters to launch a full-scale attack on Penglai? Do you really think this is your home?"

The two Nascent Soul stage sea creatures immediately questioned them, their aggressive demeanor suggesting they intended to surround them.

Venerable Yushe sneered without any politeness:
"Hmph, my Beihai clan can do whatever we want, why should you interfere? You two old geezers are meddling so much, could it be that you've already become Penglai's lackeys?"

At the same time, he was secretly and anxiously advising:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, these two are local bullies in the East Sea. Their backing is powerful and deeply entrenched. If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to escape!"

Qu Gong dared not risk his life with Lin Shan this time, and told him not to act rashly. He said that since Lord Yu Xing dared to ambush them today, they could find a way to get revenge later.

But if they fight head-on now and Penglai gains an advantage, all their previous hard work will be in vain!
Seeing that he was powerless to help, Lin Shan could only sigh:
"Alright, let's do as you two say and go."

After saying that, he subtly twitched his finger, and the cursed spirit that was struggling on the other side paused upon receiving the command!
Then he screamed even louder.
"Where to go?"

Two old monsters from the East Sea had already arrived, blocking their retreat. They sneered and immediately went all out, especially after seeing the horrific scene on Penglai Island, which shocked them. They were determined to help them capture the monsters.

Furthermore, his sea creatures promptly drove away the sea beasts, preventing them from causing further harm to Penglai.

"Get out of here!!!"

Qugong's demonic body stretched out, its two heads spewing fire. The billowing black flames emitted thick smoke, polluting the air above the surrounding hundred miles of sea with a smoky atmosphere.

The two attacked together, and seeing that he neither dodged nor avoided, they were overjoyed and wanted to make a contribution. However, they found that their attacks were completely ineffective. The armor of the Tongtian Lingbao protected Qu Gong, allowing him to move freely without any fear of being restrained.

"Hold them off, let me handle this!"

The Holy Lord of Penglai arrived from behind, and strands of water converged into a large net, instantly creating mud and swamps underfoot, while his hands traced ripples.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Yushe was greatly alarmed and quickly reminded Qugong to give way.

"He's a grandmaster of formations; he can create formations in the void. Be careful not to get trapped!"

Qu Gong, though rough around the edges, was actually quite shrewd. He had been keeping an eye on the rear, and upon seeing the Holy Lord of Penglai, he quickly dodged and focused on breaking through the blockade to clear a path for his teammates.

He had absorbed countless attacks; his thick skin and tough flesh astonished even the two sea creature primordial spirits. Just then, the spatial vortex above their heads grew larger and larger, the aura within drawing ever closer—the reinforcements from Penglai were on their way, about to rush to the battlefield!
If the two previous Holy Lords of Penglai were to bring in Yuan Nian incarnations from other places again, every single one of them would be in grave danger!
"Don't worry, everyone, your ancestor is here!"

The void above their heads suddenly shattered, countless tiny holes were pierced, and thousands upon thousands of branches were thrust down, instantly covering the entire sea surface.

Two powerful cultivators were unable to dodge in time and were impaled on a string of gourds, bleeding profusely and screaming incessantly. If it weren't for the intervention of the Holy Lord of Penglai, they would have died on the spot!
"The Crimson Lotus Ancestor???"

His voice rang out in shock and anger, and he abruptly looked up.

Clang, clang!
The sky shattered on the spot, and on the thousands of branches, a huge red lotus was slowly rotating in the spatial turbulence, motionless as if it had existed since time immemorial!

The Crimson Lotus Ancestor departed from the Luosong Mountains of the Great Song Dynasty and descended across the sea in his true form!

"Ancestor!"

Lin Shan was overjoyed. He had just been worried about the arrival of the East China Sea sea tribes, but now his allies had finally arrived.

"Stop talking nonsense and come here. The reinforcements from Penglai are still on their way. Delaying this will be detrimental to us. Let's go together!"

Without any objection, the group rushed into the interlayer of space with the help of the branches and hurriedly jumped onto the giant red lotus.

Boom~
The entire space was trembling violently. The massive, turbulent spatial currents, which had been calm one moment, suddenly burst forth like a flood, completely blocking the view.

Then, amidst the rolling silvery-white waves, the red lotus disappeared with the current!

The two sea creatures hesitated, stopping outside the spatial turbulence, their faces still showing lingering shock.

Should we continue pursuing this?

The Holy Lord of Penglai walked over with a gloomy face, raised his hand to signal them to stop, and quietly watched the group of people walk away, disappearing into a small dot in the distance.

"No need. The Red Lotus Ancestor built a dam in advance to block the spatial turbulence and store water into a reservoir. Now that he has left, the dam has been removed to release the flood. The turbulence is a hundred times stronger than usual, and it is extremely dangerous. Apart from its demonic body, no one else can get away with it. They might even be killed by the enemy! Forget it."

He immediately saw the danger involved. This tactic of withdrawing the dam and releasing the floodwaters was extremely ingenious, using spatial turbulence to create an insurmountable barrier in front of them.

"Let's go back and deal with Lord Yuxing first! That guy is no good either, he's been roaming around, coveting Penglai for a long time, let's take him down first!"

The crowd obeyed the order, channeling their pent-up anger behind them and turning their attention to Lord Yuxing.

This prodigy from ten thousand years ago, having just captured the cursed spirit, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Steward Jin, it's been ten thousand years! You've been bullied and enslaved by these juniors to such a state; you're truly pathetic. Once I return, I'll restore you to your original state and let you be your true self again! You must remember, when I delivered you from the Star Cocoon, your original rank was that of a Supreme Star Spirit."

"Lord Yuxing, you have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and you've come to hell by default. Since you've come all the way to Penglai, then stay here with us!"

The Holy Lord of Penglai led his men back in a menacing manner and blocked his retreat.

Lord Yuxing smiled confidently, not taking these people seriously at all. He simply and slowly imprisoned the cursed spirit in his personal space, and then let the Yuxing in the sky shine brightly. A guiding pillar of light carried him slowly upward.

"Penglai, ten thousand years ago, Zang Yan, together with three other holy lands, sealed me under the Thunder Wave Sea, attempting to make me die helplessly in darkness. Who knew that I possessed the Starry Night Sleep Technique, and was able to wait until the arrival of this Wanhui year to break free!"

"So many Venerables were sealed by you at the same time, each one essentially buried alive. They possessed extraordinary abilities but could only die silently and obscurely over time. Only a few who sealed their lifespans were able to survive. What enormous sins did they commit?"

"Now that I, the Divine Lord, have returned in glory, I will personally annihilate you all in the years to come! I am in no hurry. Just wait, that day is not far off. Don't let me find an opportunity."

He spoke slowly, each word clear, so that everyone in the Penglai Holy Land could hear him clearly, his words filled with a strong sense of revenge.

The Holy Lord of Penglai sneered repeatedly.

"Hmph, you think you can turn the world upside down by yourself?"

"Going it alone and falling out with the great demon Qu Gong and his gang, you might already be hated by them. Your only natural ally has been turned into an enemy. How can you possibly overthrow my Penglai?"

"Now, relying on your primordial spirit to unleash part of the advantages of your star destiny, you think you can get away with this and act innocent, treating our Penglai Holy Land as nothing? You're seriously underestimating us!"

As they spoke, the two enormous spatial vortexes above their heads finally welcomed their owner.

Another avatar of the Holy Lord of Penglai and the old man in the straw raincoat descended from the void once more!

The moment the two emerged, they simultaneously covered the sky, using some unknown method to completely sever the connection between the celestial star and this place!
The body of Lord Yuxing, which was slowly rising, suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air, staring at the people of Penglai.

"Uh, no, that's not it."

Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. He was supposed to jump out using the Star Projection technique in the next moment, but who knew that the other party would interrupt his spellcasting, which was far beyond his expectations.

An awkward smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Gentlemen, actually I have no deep-seated hatred for Penglai. I was just joking around."

The Holy Lord of Penglai ignored his nonsense and commanded everyone in heaven and on earth to attack together, determined to take him down!
"If killing them doesn't stop them, then surely you can be stopped? You're not getting away today."

The Luosong Mountains are covered with a sea of ​​red maple forests.

Lin Shan and the others were rescued by the Red Lotus Ancestor and escaped from the East Sea back to the Song Dynasty.

Arriving at their long-established stronghold, a base camp firmly held in the eastern barrier, they finally managed to stop, where they could be considered temporarily safe.

The Crimson Lotus Ancestor went to the rescue in his true form, having seized the opportunity to investigate from various sources and confirmed that the various deployments of the Penglai Holy Land had returned to provide support and would not come to raid his home, before daring to take the risk.

"This time, we killed the two primordial incarnations of the Holy Lord of Penglai and the previous Holy Lord, as well as four other great supernatural beings and more than ten thousand disciples under their command. We plowed up their island twice and even retrieved the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure, the Water-Dividing Flag. It can be called a great victory, which is worth announcing to the cultivation world and celebrating properly!"

The great demon Qu Gong recalled the fierce battle just now, feeling exhilarated and exclaiming how satisfying it was.

Venerable Yushe smiled and nodded frequently. Although the battle had been full of twists and turns, it had at least severely damaged Penglai, enough to make him feel the pinch.

"It's a pity about the Demon Dog Lord's Yuan Nian clone and Fellow Daoist Lin's cursed spirit. We also lost two Yuan Shen stage warriors. Please convey my apologies to the Demon Dog Lord. I will make it up to him when I return to the North Sea."

Lin Shan waved his hand in agreement, indicating that he would appease the Demon Dog Lord upon returning, acknowledging that they had indeed acted wrongly, sacrificing the other party for the sake of the team.

Although the spirit of the curse was captured by Lord Yuxing, the primordial spirit embodiment he condensed during his spiritual journey through the heavens during his breakthrough to the primordial spirit is still there!
In other words, he had two cursed spirits; one was captured, and the other remains!
In principle, it does not affect the execution of the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, and it can also be used to transmit information about Lord Yuxing through another undercover agent.

"By the way, how badly is the damage to the Heavenly Treasure Water-Dividing Flag? Is there any possibility of repair?" (End of Chapter)
