Immortal Road.

Chapter 155 Resolving the feud
In the Demon Cult's camp outside the city of Bianliang, there was an open space with rows of flying magic weapons parked.

Lin Shan and a group of younger brothers including Luanchun and Old Man Zhong who came to see him off said goodbye reluctantly and followed the monks one by one onto the large flying boat.

This is a large-scale flying magical vehicle specifically responsible for transporting personnel. Not only does it have a large passenger capacity, but it also has a stable speed. It is also officially operated by the Black Lotus Sect, and most importantly, it is free.

The boat is about a hundred feet long and more than twenty feet wide. It has a five-story building and more than a thousand guest rooms. It is equipped with formations, prohibitions, crossbows, and arrow towers. It is extremely safe and comfortable.

There were a total of thousands of people returning to Donghai from the front line this time. Except for a few exceptions like Lin Shan, most of them were transferred back because of injuries.

The Battle of Dongmen Pass and the Battle of Bianliang both involved the gathering of over a hundred thousand monks, which was equivalent to a large-scale army battle, and casualties were inevitable.

Some people were physically disabled, some had damaged Dantian, some had their cultivation level dropped, and some had loss of essence and blood. There were many problems left over after the war.

Although the demon sects are overbearing, sometimes, it is useless to put the old, weak and disabled people on the front line, so it is better to pull them back to the rear to do logistics. For example, arrange them to the missionary team of the altar purifier and give them a "minimum living allowance" to support them.

The Black Lotus Sect is considered relatively mild among the demon sects. If it were the Blood River Palace or the Hundred Ghosts Sect, if you were disabled on the first day, you might be secretly refined into a blood corpse or a fierce ghost by your fellow disciples on the second day.

As the large transport flying boat took off, carrying thousands of monks, it slowly sailed eastward. A man walked out from behind a tent in the corner of the camp. It was Master Xiongshan.

He silently glanced at Lin Shan who was going away on the Tianbian Boat, and recalled the recent rumors in the camp about this man killing a true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion. His eyes flickered and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

The large transport flying boat flew for a day and a night, flew out of the East Gate Pass, crossed the Luosong Mountains, and entered the eastern part of the Song Dynasty. This area is relatively safe compared to the demon monks. Because the righteous way has been operating in the west for a long time, there are still sporadic resistances everywhere, and the east is slightly calmer.

On the bow deck, one monk after another came out to get some fresh air. Lin Shan also sat aside, looking at the scenery below. White clouds were drifting around him, and countless mountains and rivers were rapidly receding below him. He hadn't felt so relaxed and happy for a long time.

At this time, he had a large number of ancient rhymes and sufficient cultivation elixirs, so he could practice and break through the bottleneck after returning. Moreover, he was highly regarded by the head of the Black Lotus Sect. As long as he completed the task, he would have no worries about his future success.

The target that the headmaster wanted to kill was now sitting on the other side of the deck. He was a middle-aged man with a dull and honest appearance. He was also quietly appreciating the magnificent mountains and rivers under his feet, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Shan didn't know much about the headmaster's motive for killing this man, but which demon cultivator didn't have a life on his hands? Judging from the perspective of good and evil, no one's hands were clean! In the process of fighting for opportunities, killing and robbing are inevitable. The righteous cultivators are just wearing hypocritical clothes, let alone the demons?
And the honest man in front of him was indeed not a good guy. He had been engaged in robbery and murder all his life. He was found by the master's wife and asked to kill the master's illegitimate son. After that, he joined the wife's army.

Now that he realized that his crime had been exposed, he planned to hide back in Donghai and seek the protection of his wife. The reason he submitted the application was to recover from his injuries. As for the injury report, it had been bribed and forged long ago. All the procedures were in accordance with the rules and regulations, and there was nothing wrong with it.

He thought he had done it perfectly, but for a sect leader, there were naturally countless ways to kill him. However, the leader chose a more "safe" method and let Lin Shan "get rid of" him along the way.

As for where it is "safe", in addition to Lin Shan's record of killing the true disciples of the major sects, we have to say that after the head master checked Lin Shan's storage bag that day, he re-evaluated his combat power because of his worth that surpassed that of ordinary Jindan stage cultivators.

With such a huge net worth, it should be enough to take down the target.

Although the target had killed his illegitimate son in a surprise attack and obtained the magic weapon that he had specially given to his son, this kid has a great chance and should have a good chance of winning.
Even if the mission fails, even if I return to the East China Sea, I still have a way to kill the target. I'm just giving young people with potential a chance first.

……

While Lin Shan was paying close attention to the target on the other side of the deck, the dull and honest man in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he began to discuss things with the Black Skull Demon Lord.

"What do you think is the best way to complete the mission this time?"

"With your strength, even if you are in the late stage of foundation building, it will only take a little more effort. Why are you asking me?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord answered absentmindedly, ever since he saw the strange creature with purple tentacles with his own eyes that day, and heard that Lin Shan had "close" contact with the strange creature, and he had formed a soul contract with the "close contact patient".

It already felt hopeless in life, no, it felt hopeless in its skeleton life. Originally, it had thought about secretly elevating this clone to the foundation-building stage, and after Lin Shan left the demon camp, it would sneak away to be free and unrestrained.

After all, the silver contract only stipulated that both parties could not fight each other and help each other on an equal basis. But there was no stipulation that they could not leave, and no one could restrict anyone's freedom.

But now that he knew Lin Shan was a "close contact", the weirdness would find him sooner or later, and he knew too well how difficult and terrifying the weirdness was.

Even if it was just a clone, if it was locked by the strange source through the contract, its original body far away in the fifth world of hell would also suffer. So he and Lin Shan became grasshoppers in the same boat, and they couldn't escape at all, which was completely bound!
Instead of running out to work alone, it’s better to continue to hang out with this guy, so that you can be mentally prepared if you encounter something weird one day.

Lin Shan watched this guy in a depressed mood and didn't know how to comfort him. However, for this worker who was at the Nascent Soul stage, he still had to exploit him as much as possible for his own use.

"Brother, you have already reached the foundation-building stage, and we are equals now. We should help each other!"

"Do I need your help? I'm afraid you need my help."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Are you being so distant with me, your brother?"

"Then I will use the resources to restore my Jindan stage strength in the future."

"I'll cover it!"

Lin Shan patted his chest and guaranteed that he had the strengthening panel anyway. At worst, he would wait until it reached the Jindan stage and strengthen the silver contract in his mind into a golden contract. Anyway, this old villain would not be able to escape from his palm!

The Black Skull Demon Lord didn't know about Lin Shan's golden finger. When he heard that Lin Shan fully supported him in recovering to the Golden Core stage, his mind suddenly became active.

If I can recover to the Jindan stage and find a way to cancel the soul contract, I can escape from this disaster star.
Thinking of this, it suddenly rekindled its hope and found that it had something to pursue in life again! It immediately began to do its best to offer suggestions to Lin Shan.

"The task the headmaster has given you this time is to kill the target. It's actually not difficult. What you need to do is to do it cleanly."

"If you kill this person by force on the flying boat, then if there are other witnesses, everyone will know that it was you who did it, and it will also cause trouble for the headmaster."

"If you kill everyone on the flying boat and return to the East China Sea alone, you will clearly tell others that it was you who did it."

"The key is to kill the target without alerting anyone on the ship."

The Black Skull Demon Lord began to analyze Lin Shan in a simple and incisive manner, and the latter nodded repeatedly as if he was thinking about something.

"you mean"

"Curse magic! Use your best skill to curse him directly! I will set up a concealing formation outside his room to ensure that no movement inside can be heard and prevent outsiders from being alerted. After you curse him half to death, we will go over together and kill him quietly."

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord's real idea was that he had had "indirect contact" with the weirdness because of Lin Shan, so before leaving Lin Shan, he wanted to understand this weirdness as much as possible and make plans for his future.

After all, it only knew about the weirdness from the last ancient ruins, and it didn't know the real situation. It only knew that this thing was a great catastrophe of the era, which would destroy all the heavens.
It also wanted to know why Lin Shan's curse power was so magical, why others summoned normal creatures, but he summoned weird creatures, and why it was summoned to this world by him.
"It's feasible! However, the curse requires the target's hair, blood, or personal belongings."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord smiled sinisterly and stood up, his skeleton swaying as he walked towards the dull man at the other end of the deck.
