Immortal Road.

Chapter 151 The Demonic Church Trial
"Lin Shan, come to the meeting room in the camp quickly, my master is looking for you!"

Luanchun hurried to the quartermaster's office, grabbed Lin Shan and took him deep into the military camp. Lin Shan was dragged by her for unknown reasons, and he didn't know what had happened and why Protector Yan was looking for him so anxiously.

When we arrived at the meeting hall of the central military camp, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was solemn.

On both sides, hundreds of Jindan monks were sitting cross-legged. They were probably the majority of the Black Lotus Sect's high-level combat power.

At the end of the hall, the Black Lotus Sect's leader stood aside with his head bowed. Above him, three Nascent Soul Stage guardians were high up, listening to the leader's report, their faces calm as no one knew what they were thinking.

Lin Shan was also shocked when Luanchun pulled him in. He thought to himself, how could he, who was only in the foundation-building stage, be qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting? How could it be possible?

The two of them quietly went around to the side from the back. Yan Yuanchun, as a Jindan-stage guardian, also had a seat on the right side of the hall. At this time, he waved and called them over. Then, without saying a word, he began to wait quietly.

After a while, some people came into the hall one after another, and finally the situation returned to calm.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the next review!"

"According to Wang Hufa, a local sect of Southern Xinjiang in the Great Song Dynasty, a few years ago, a Black Lotus Buddha statue that embodied the accumulated faith of Southern Xinjiang over hundreds of years was stolen by righteous monks and hidden in the imperial palace."

"During the battle of the imperial capital Bianliang, my sect searched everywhere, and finally found the remains of the Buddha statue in the treasury of the imperial palace."

"Someone has already quietly taken the lead and stolen the Buddha's faith without permission!"

……

His Highness was instantly shocked!

Everyone exclaimed, whispered to each other, and looked around, wondering who was so bold. Stealing faith was a serious crime in the Black Lotus Sect. Even the Golden Core Stage Dharma Protectors did not dare to do this.

A thick dark cloud covered the hall, and a murderous atmosphere permeated the air.

Lin Shan, who was standing behind Guardian Yan, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He had never expected that the Black Lotus Cult actually knew that there was a Buddha statue in the palace, and that the top leaders were personally paying attention to it. Now that the truth has been revealed, they would not find him out, would they?

However, there were many demons who broke into the palace that night. Fortunately, he wanted to hide from "Lei Yunzi" and accidentally concealed his whereabouts to the treasury of the palace.

Moreover, after the enhanced panel absorbs the faith, no trace is left, so it is impossible for the incense of faith to remain on the body. Logically, it should not be a big problem, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

"This case of the theft of Buddha statues will be heard by this True Man in court, and the three Dharma Kings will be in attendance."

"On the night of three days ago, among all the monks in the sect who entered the Imperial Palace, there were 78 people in the Foundation Establishment Stage and 15862 people in the Qi Training Stage."

"All the people in the Qi training stage have been secretly checked within three days. All the suspects in the foundation building stage are now coming forward."

"Under the supervision of the Dharma King, I will not be greedy for the opportunities of my disciples. Please rest assured and hand over the storage bag to me for inspection."

"Those who disobey will be killed!"

……

Hearing the headmaster's stern words and the tacit approval of the three Nascent Soul stage Dharma Kings on the stage, everyone in the hall fell silent and trembled with fear.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators who were called to the main hall began to line up one by one. According to the rules, they allowed the Master to check their storage spaces individually. At the same time, their entire bodies were scanned with their spiritual consciousness and magical power. No one dared to raise any objections.

Human rights? Privacy? None of them exist! This is a demonic cult! Who wants to play this with you?
Lin Shan was also sweating coldly. Although there was no faith in his storage bracelet, there were many shameful things, including many precious things. How could he let others explore it casually?

The straw man that inherited the magical powers of the Wudao Sect, the ancestor tablet of the Penglai Holy Land in the East China Sea, the sapling of the thousand-year-old ancient spiritual tree, and the statue of Happy Buddha obtained from the Jiangdong ruins, all of these are things with extraordinary origins.

There are some things that I don’t even understand their background purpose.

What's more, there are the magic weapons Xu Xing Pan and Duan Shui Jian, the minor magical spell Shui Mu Tian Hua, Huan Ling Wood and Huan Ling Liquid, so many treasures from the East China Sea left by Master Gui, and tens of thousands of spirit stones.

So much wealth is concentrated in a small cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. Everyone knows that there is something seriously wrong with this guy. Most Jindan stage cultivators are not so rich!
Lin Shan was sweating profusely, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He had never thought of running away. There were three Yuanying and hundreds of Jindan gathered on the scene. If he dared to run, he would definitely die.

"I can use my secret method to help you conceal the life energy of the ten thousand year old phantom tree, so go ahead and don't worry."

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord, who had been silent, also realized that something was wrong. However, he did not follow Lin Shan into the palace that night, so he did not know about the Black Lotus Buddha statue. He just thought that Lin Shan was worried that the "Phantom Ancient Tree" would be discovered.

In its eyes, a spiritual object like the "Phantom Ancient Tree" is definitely something that even an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage would be tempted by. It is only right for it to help this kid. Otherwise, once it is discovered, it will definitely be in trouble if it follows him around in the future.

Lin Shan was overjoyed when he heard the Black Skull Demon Lord's telepathic message. As a Nascent Soul creature from the Hell World, this guy possessed countless magical powers and secret techniques. It would be great if he could help cover them up.

But at the same time, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Wasn't this guy just in the Qi training stage? How could he transmit sound with his spiritual consciousness?
He swept his spiritual sense towards his waist and found an invisible barrier blocking his detection. After hesitating for a moment and deciding to force a breakthrough, the Black Skull Demon Lord's true cultivation level was exposed.

"Fuck! When did you recover to the foundation-building stage?"

Lin Shan almost popped his eyes out. This guy had recovered to the Foundation Establishment Stage without anyone noticing right under his nose, and he was totally unaware? You know, the Foundation Establishment Stage was the red line they had drawn together, and this old bastard actually broke the rules and sneaked into Chencang!
"Hush, don't get excited. Let's get through this first. We are all in this together. This is not the time for internal strife."

The Black Skull Demon Lord was also startled. Seeing Lin Shan's consciousness fluctuating so violently, it would be bad if he attracted the attention of the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage. He immediately comforted him and told him that they were now sitting on the same boat and they should get through the difficulties first.

"Please help me cover up the other treasures as well. I will let this matter go!"

Lin Shan saw the Foundation Establishment cultivators walking into the hall one by one, and only a few were still hesitating. The Dharma Protector Yan beside him kept comforting and urging them, knowing that time was running out and he could not afford to care about the Black Skull Demon Lord secretly building his foundation.

However, the Black Skull Demon Lord showed confusion at this time, and his voice transmission was filled with doubt and disdain.

"Except for the Phantom Spirit Ancient Tree, the rest of your junk, do you think the Black Lotus Sect's leader would be interested in it?"

In the eyes of the Black Skull Demon Lord, Lin Shan’s magic weapons, minor magical powers, miscellaneous high-level spiritual materials, etc. might cause ordinary Jindan stage cultivators to have distracting thoughts, but what has the head of a top sect not seen?

As the leader of a sect, he has hundreds of thousands of monks under his command, and controls hundreds of thousands of miles of territory. He has countless rare treasures in the sect. What does Lin Shan's rags have to do with that? Why would he care about these things!
Lin Shan stared at the Black Skull Demon Lord with some suspicion. Could it be that he couldn't recognize the "straw man" with the Seven Arrows? And the tablet of the founder of the Penglai Holy Land in the East China Sea? What about the Happy Buddha statue of the Happy God Lord?

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately figured it out. If these things were not "enhanced panels", he himself would not know what they were. Even if the Black Skull Demon Lord was knowledgeable, he could not be comprehensive, so the Black Lotus Sect's headmaster might also be...
"Lin Shan, hurry over there, there are only a few of you left."

The guardian Yan beside him comforted him softly. This beautiful woman took him to many places from Yichuan Market. Although she did not give him any special care along the way, overall she was very kind to him and showed him the way. Especially after she learned that he was able to kill a master of a big sect, she valued him very much.

Lin Shan nodded to the Guardian Yan and Luanchun. The little girl was gentle and sensible at this time. She patted his back gently and told him not to worry. After all, she had seen Lin Shan use magic weapons and knew that this boy was rich. She was always afraid that others would covet his wealth. It was normal for him to have paranoia. The hundreds of Jindan-stage cultivators in the field were sitting peacefully, each with their eyes closed. No one dared to interfere with the search operation of the headmaster.

The 78 Foundation Establishment Stage juniors who were queuing in the main hall were all scanned inside and out by the Master's divine sense. Their storage spaces were also carefully checked. Some were sweating profusely, some were trembling with fear, and some were so frightened that their trouser legs were almost tightened.

Which demonic monk doesn’t have some shameful things on him?

Some people secretly hunt down fellow monks and use their corpses to refine corpses.

Some people robbed and killed the descendants of Jindan monks in the sect, for fear that the elders present would recognize them and grind them to ashes!

Some people like to collect the underwear of female practitioners in the sect, and there might be lost clothes of some female Jindan-stage practitioners present.

Some people have strange personalities and like to curse their fellow disciples. They secretly collect hair and personal belongings and curse them every day.

Some people have perverted personalities and like to draw some pornographic picture books, including imagining the naked bodies of some female Jindan cultivators.
……

There are constant conflicts within the Demon Sect, it is simply a mess, and it is unbearable to watch. It is fine if it is not discovered at ordinary times, but once it is exposed, there is no doubt that they will start fighting among themselves and destroy themselves first.

The headmaster looked through the storage instruments one by one, frowning more and more. It was a good thing that he was investigating these things alone. If they were made public, the Jindan stage people on the scene would tear these young people to pieces. The young people nowadays are really stupid.
At the same time, he couldn't help but fantasize in his heart. He glanced at the people on the field without leaving a trace, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Junior Brother Zhao's eldest disciple died inexplicably fifty years ago. It turned out that he died at the hands of his own people.

Master Huang's second son was suffering from a serious illness all day long, probably because he was cursed by his own people;

Junior Sister Qian’s underwear is always lost. It turns out that the legendary “magic thief” in the sect is the old man in front of her?

Junior Sister Yan's figure is really enchanting, and this erotic painting book is so lifelike, what should I do? I also want to collect it!
It turns out that the illegitimate child whom I secretly raised a few years ago was not killed by my first wife, but by this kid in front of me.

Ok?
……

The headmaster almost fainted! He was just daydreaming and secretly making fun of others, but suddenly he became the victim. You can imagine how devastated he was.

The case is finally solved!
The case of my illegitimate son’s murder has finally been solved!
The person queuing in front of him was a middle-aged man in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He had an honest and dull look on his face, and was looking at the headmaster with reverence. If you didn't know him, you would think he was one of the rare upright gentlemen in the Demon Sect.

A hint of murderous intent flashed across the headmaster's lowered eyes, but with so many high-level monks of the sect gathered together, it was not suitable for internal fighting. If he took action, it would cause chaos, and the overall view he had cultivated over the years did not allow him to do that.

Anyway, there is plenty of time in the future, and there is a long way to go. I am not in a hurry and I am not angry!
Hu~hu~
After calming down, the headmaster smiled kindly, reached out and patted the honest middle-aged man in front of him, like an earnest elder:
"Good boy, go down!"

The honest man bowed and retreated, thinking to himself that something was wrong. He had followed the order of the eldest lady to kill the headmaster's illegitimate son, and had secretly used the unique magic weapon given to his son by the headmaster for so many years. Now, how could he not be recognized when someone searched his storage bag?
The two slaps he gave me just now must be some kind of tracking method. I can't escape even if I run to the ends of the earth!
I heard that the headmaster's wife has just arrived at the temporary headquarters in the rear of the East China Sea. I have to go back quickly to seek shelter.

……

Let’s not talk about the little episode for now.

It was finally Lin Shan's turn to step forward. He felt nervous as he looked at the master in front of him.

What the Black Skull Demon Lord said before made sense, but who knows if others can recognize those treasures. Even if they can’t, how do he explain all his other things?

Fortunately, the two of them communicated well in advance. Not only did they cover the saplings of the Phantom Ancient Tree, they also transferred the belongings of the royal foundation-building elder and the Happy Buddha statue into the storage bag of the Black Skull Demon Lord, so as to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Time passed by tick by tick, and he felt like every second seemed like an eternity, which was extremely tormenting.

His entire body was scanned inch by inch by the powerful spiritual sense of the late Jindan stage. The vortex of wind and thunder spiritual power in his body was slightly unstable, and goose bumps popped up like mushrooms after rain.

But who knew that the headmaster opposite him was thinking:

"It turns out that Master Donghai Gui did not flee to the open sea, but this kid inherited his wealth. This is really a good opportunity! Seeing that he is so young and has a strong physique, it seems that he is worth cultivating."

Some of Master Gui's things were all on record, so Master Zhang was naturally aware of them. But in his eyes, this little bit of wealth was nothing, and with his broad mind and vision, he could only admire it, and had no intention of coveting it.

However, the most important purpose at the moment is to find the lost faith of the giant black lotus Buddha statue in the palace, so Lin Shan's little matter can be put aside for the time being. Anyway, this kid is rich and can live a carefree life without relying on the Black Lotus Sect's training.

As for whether he was an accomplice of Master Gui or not, Master Zhang didn't care at all. The Demon Sect was open to all, and Master Gui's death was the end of everything. Since all the wealth was inherited, this kid was one of us after he joined the Demon Sect, so who cares what he did before?

"Yes, you are fine, you can go down."

Lin Shan retreated in a daze, and was encouraged by the headmaster, a rare moment of relief. He finally let go of the tension in his heart and returned to the seat next to Protector Yan.

……

After all 78 suspected Foundation Establishment cultivators present were checked, the head master's face darkened, because he could not find any trace of "incense faith" at all.

All the Jindan stage cultivators on the field were silent, feeling the calm before the coming storm.

The head sect master looked around with a grim gaze, and finally fixed his gaze on a demon sect monk below.

"Were these the only monks who entered the palace that night before the remains of the Buddha statue were discovered?"

"Reporting to the Master, it is indeed so!"

"you sure?"

"Uh, this. This."

A confidant of the headmaster who was reporting below was sweating profusely, stammering and at a loss. The headmaster had countless experiences, how could he not know that this kid was hiding something?
"Anything else? Say it!"

"I got wind of the rumors and found that many people heard that Master Xiongshan had been to the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace Treasury that night. However, after investigation, we found that Master Xiongshan had just arrived at the Bianliang front from the East China Sea yesterday."

"Where is Master Xiongshan now?"

"Right in the camp!"
