Immortal Road.

Chapter 190: A Rebellious Mind
In the stormy sea, yellow and green light balls were confronting each other.

Both sides were secretly sweating, fearing that the two Yuanying stage masters would start fighting in the next moment, and the huge aftermath of the fight would crush them into dust.

There was still blood on the corner of Yan Yuanchun's mouth. He tugged at the corner of Master Huang's clothes and shook his head slightly, but the latter was as cold as iron and was not moved at all.

Anyone who dares to hurt my woman must pay the price today, even if it means both of us will perish together!

As time passed, the momentum of both sides grew stronger and stronger, and a shocking battle was about to break out. Just when everyone couldn't help but want to escape from here.

Mr. Jinglian suddenly retracted his aura, the green lotus behind him disappeared, and he slapped five palms in a row like lightning. All five Jindan stage cultivators of Zixiao Sect were knocked aside, and they spat out blood.

Master Huang also looked at him in surprise and doubt. This lightning-fast operation made everyone confused.

"These five men are now seriously injured, and they are fighting against your ladyship in pairs. What do you think, fellow Taoist?" Taoist Jinglian said indifferently, as if he was not the one who attacked.

At the same time, he glanced at the five people behind him and said, "I am only entrusted by your elders to secretly escort you for a while. I am not going to fight for you and the monks of the same level. Do you have any objection to this?"

Everyone in Zixiao Sect quickly shook their heads and claimed that they had no objection.

Of course, they didn't dare to object. It was good enough that the old Yuanying monster was willing to save them. They didn't expect him to fight for them. Now they just injured them to give them a way out. Everyone naturally understood the reason.

Yan Yuanchun also shook Master Huang's arm twice, signaling him to stop while he was ahead.

Huang Xianshi was silent for a moment, then reluctantly retracted his Dharma image and glared at the five Jindan-stage cultivators of Zixiao Sect. Although the five people secretly cursed the old man for being petty, they still looked grateful on the surface.

Seeing that the situation had eased, Lay Buddhist Jinglian no longer lingered. He just nodded to Master Huang as a greeting, and then his figure suddenly went away and turned into a green rainbow that disappeared into the horizon, as if he was not afraid that Master Huang would regret it later.

Huang Xianshi looked at Qinghong with a little fear, and did not make another move. Not to mention that Jinglian Jushi was unfathomable, if he really didn't care and bullied the weak, the elders of Zixiao Sect would probably chase him to the ends of the earth.

Thinking of the Purple Sky Sect's Grand Elder's lightning speed and the unprecedented battle with the Black Lotus Sect's shadow, he suppressed his murderous intent.

All the righteous cultivators on the scene wisely made way and watched Master Huang take Yan Yuanchun and the evil fleet away from the stormy sea. They were all very tired as they almost lost their lives today.

Before leaving, Lin Fan looked at Lin Shan on the flying boat. The two smiled at each other from a distance. There was no verbal communication, but everything was said without words. Lei Yuzi looked at Lin Shan with a complicated expression, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Lin Shan turned around and looked into the distance, not knowing how long it would take him to come back, and what would happen to his old friends by then.

……

Three days later, the flying boat was still passing over the sea.

After leaving the Song Dynasty, we arrived at the South China Sea of ​​Dayan. Anyway, the waters of the eastern coastal countries are basically called the East China Sea and the South China Sea, but the maritime territory of Dayan is obviously not as good as that of the Song Dynasty.

Looking at the continent getting closer and closer, everyone on the boat knew that they were about to enter the territory of the inland cultivation world of Yan State.

The owner of this flying boat, Guardian Yan, has been staying in the attic of the flying boat with Master Huang, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, and has not come out for three days.

As for what the long-unreunited old husband and young wife were doing, everyone wisely avoided gossiping and pretended not to know, each doing their own thing.

Lin Shan was exchanging knowledge about formations with the black skeleton beside him. He felt that he should consciously learn some formations, as they might be useful in the future.

"Squeak~"

The door of the cabin opened, and Master Huang walked out leading the ruddy-faced Guardian Yan.

Seeing the old man with a rosy face and full of self-satisfaction, and the delicate and shy appearance of Protector Yan next to him, it was obvious that they were very happy to discuss the Dao, and everyone present started to flatter him tacitly.

"Congratulations to the ancestor for coming out of seclusion, and congratulations to the guardian for recovering!"

Yan Yuanchun seemed to be too embarrassed to see anyone, hiding behind Master Huang like a little woman. Master Huang laughed loudly, obviously enjoying it very much, and asked everyone to excuse themselves with his hands, and then called Luanchun over first.

As Yan Yuanchun's personal disciple, Luanchun was spoiled like her own daughter. Huang Xianshi had also been following them secretly for more than ten years, so he naturally knew this. The three of them were there, talking and laughing about family matters, and they were as happy and close as a family.

After a while, Master Huang called Lin Shan over again.

When Lin Shan heard that it was finally his turn, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Although he had to leave his hometown and go to the distant Lu State, he had a big and thick leg of a Yuanying stage to hug, which might be a blessing in disguise!

With Master Huang's realm of cultivation, if he could be accepted by the Demon Cult and marry into the family of Protector Yan as Yan's Taoist companion, he would definitely be a new Nascent Soul Stage Dharma King.

By then, I will be in power, maybe I can coax him into doing something, and secretly get some Black Lotus Buddha statues to indulge in some meat?
The Black Skull Demon Lord also followed happily. He felt that if his clone wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible, it would be more cost-effective to follow Old Man Zhong. After all, he had fought side by side with him, so it shouldn't be too much for him to help him, right?
The man and the skeleton came to Master Huang excitedly, ready to ask for benefits from Master Huang. But the other party said:
"How brave!"

"Pfft!"

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. This skeleton was very cunning, and it was unknown whether it was real or fake. But Lin Shan was sure that Master Huang had learned this trick of "startling" from Nightingale.

"When I was preaching in the East China Sea, I was forced to work for you. What do you say?"

Huang Xianshi narrowed his eyes and spoke first, with an unfathomable expression on his face. He pinched his beard and looked at Lin Shan, as if he was holding a grudge and wanted to make things difficult for him.

Lin Shan was neither humble nor arrogant. He bowed and said righteously:
"At that time, I was acting in the name of the Dharma Protector Yan. In order to accumulate strength and power for the Dharma Protector, the better my missionary achievements in the East China Sea, the more honor the Dharma Protector would have."

Yan Yuanchun beside her nodded frequently. There was no doubt that Lin Shan was the most capable Foundation Establishment Stage subordinate among her.

Huang Xianshi's tone stagnated, and he felt that his momentum had suddenly dropped. He changed the subject and continued to ask:
"Then what about you forcing me to place the summoning contract on me in the first place? How do you deal with this?"

Lin Shan said sincerely, "Isn't this to protect the safety of my men? Wasn't it this trick that saved everyone from suffering in the poisonous canyon?"

The group of demon brothers behind him nodded one after another, with grateful expressions on their faces. At that time, they were deeply trapped in the Yin Miasma Fantasy Wind Belt, and thanks to Lin Shan for pulling them out, they couldn't help but praise Lin Shan for his foresight.

Huang Xianshi was once again frustrated and flew into a rage. He finally revealed the source of his dissatisfaction:
"When you buried me in the Yanyun Mountains, why didn't you even make me a coffin, leaving me with a mouthful of dirt?"

Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat. At that time, his archenemy Princess Guo and others were nearby, so he naturally did not waste much time. He thought that with the little friendship between them, it would be good enough if he could bury you!
Of course, we can't say this now.

Lin Shan's mind turned, and he suddenly realized:
"Oh! I remember now. When we were at the Nightingale headquarters in Beijing, I remember your palace was filled with music and dancing, and you were surrounded by beautiful women."

Huang Xianshi quickly covered his mouth, his forehead slightly sweaty, and forced a smile: "It seems that I misunderstood my brother."

Yan Yuanchun instinctively felt something was wrong and raised her doubts at the right time: "Huh? Zuo Yong what? Why don't you continue?"

Lin Shan glanced at Master Huang and found that the old man's face was twitching violently. Thinking that this matter was not to be seen in public, he laughed casually and said, "Nothing, it's not important."

Huang Xianshi echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! It doesn't matter!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord also wanted to flatter Master Huang, so he brought his shiny skull closer and echoed, "That's right, that's right, it doesn't matter!"

Master Huang seemed to be trying to shut Lin Shan's mouth in a hurry, but he didn't expect that this kid actually had evidence in his hand. It seemed that it would be unreasonable not to give him a hush money on the spot.

In order to change the subject as quickly as possible and prevent Yan Yuanchun from worrying about it, he happened to see the skeleton monster next to him coming over.

He suddenly had an idea and put his arm around Lin Shan's shoulders. Not only did he put aside his past grudges, he also gave him enthusiastic guidance.

"Brother, this skeleton you summoned is not simple. Its cultivation is likely to be at the Nascent Soul stage or above. Once it breaks through the Golden Core stage, it will most likely backfire on you. It is better to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Black Skull Demon Lord: “???”

I was helping you out of good intentions, but you turned around and advised others to get rid of me?

Lin Shan was not so sensitive. He thanked Master Huang for his kindness and said confidently, "Don't worry, no matter how much its cultivation recovers, I can always suppress it." Master Huang's eyes gleamed, "It's already in the late stage of foundation building!"

"what?"

Lin Shan was horrified, he was only in the middle stage of foundation building!

He quickly turned to look at the Black Skull Demon Lord and found that he was scratching his head awkwardly, with the soul fire in his head swaying left and right.

"No, let me explain."

"no need!"

Lin Shan was murderous. With a clang, he drew out his magic weapon, the Water-Breaking Sword, and looked up and down the skeleton of the beast, as if thinking about where to start in a more "decent" way.

When everyone saw that something was wrong, they came up to dissuade him. Some of the younger brothers hugged his waist, some hugged his legs, some pulled his arms, and some "took away" his sword.

"Boss, calm down!"

"Now is not the time for internal strife"

"Don't let your loved ones be sad and your enemies be happy~"

Lin Shan's expression was not fake, he was angry at being betrayed and deceived, he struggled hard, shouting "Give me back my sword", "I must kill this thief today", "I think he has a rebellious mind".
While everyone was trying to dissuade him, they glanced at the Black Skull Demon Lord and saw that there was indeed a protrusion on the occipital bone behind his head. Everyone was secretly frightened.

However, due to their friendship, he still tried his best to persuade her.

At this time, Master Huang held down the trembling skeleton with one hand, put his other hand on Lin Shan's shoulder, sighed and looked melancholy.

"Forget it, forget it. Considering its hard work over the years, even if it has no merits, let's spare its life!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude: "You are still sensible."

But Master Huang stopped it, took out a piece of golden paper and handed it to Lin Shan with a smile.

"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. As compensation for you delivering the letter to Yichuan for me, I will give you a golden page of the contract. Even if this skeleton monster recovers its Jindan stage strength in the future, you can still control it."

Lin Shan's anger turned into joy, and he immediately gave up the plan to kill the Black Skull Demon Lord. He took the golden paper with both hands, and information popped up on the strengthening panel.

[Contract Page]

Quality: Golden Contract

Introduction: Witnessed by the laws of heaven and earth, the pages of the contract made from Kui cowhide can effectively restrict creatures at the Jindan stage and below. Violators will die and will not be able to enter reincarnation.

Enhancement required: 64 points

……

Lin Shan waved his hand, wrote down the contents of the contract in a fluent manner, and placed it in front of the Black Skull Demon Lord.

"please!"

The Skeleton Demon Lord was in tears. He had finally cultivated secretly to the late stage of foundation building. He was just one step away from breaking free from the constraints of Lin Shan, the "strangely haunted" evil star, and turning the tables to seize the innate spiritual treasure. But suddenly, a traitor like Master Huang popped up!

"Old man Zhong! Do you remember the friendship we shared in the Dirty Poison Canyon?"

Huang Xianshi looked puzzled: "No."

The Black Skull Demon Lord roared again: "Do you remember the battle in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, when we chased and killed the foundation-building cultivators on the puppet chariot together?"

Master Huang was confused again: "No."

The Black Skull Demon Lord turned around and looked at the group of demon brothers fiercely: "You were also on the puppet chariot at that time, do you remember?"

The younger brothers glanced at Master Huang and Lin Shan, then turned around and said in unison, “No!”

The Black Skull Demon Lord gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "When the Gongsun family of Shangdang County was imprisoned, I risked my life to maintain the gap in the formation and helped everyone escape. Do you remember?"

Master Huang and all his demonic disciples collectively lost their memories: “Never!”

The Black Skull Demon Lord looked up to the sky and sighed: "A real man is born between heaven and earth. He should wield a three-foot sword and perform unparalleled feats. How can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time!"

Lin Shan handed over the golden page of the contract: "It's not up to you, sign it or not?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord stretched his neck and said, "Sign!"

……

Finally, under the coercion of Master Huang and Lin Shan, the Black Skull Demon King was forced to re-sign the golden contract. The content of this contract is as follows:

[Lin Shan will give Black Skull Demon Lord help as appropriate to help it recover some of its strength. Black Skull Demon Lord will help Lin Shan unconditionally at any time and anywhere, and may not escape or harm him.]

This time it can be said to be a true overlord clause!

After signing this unequal treaty, the Black Skeleton Demon King's bones were scattered all over the ground. He seemed to have lost all hope in life and felt hopeless. He felt that escaping from Lin Shan's clutches was a long way off, so he couldn't help but collapse on the ground and started to rot.

Lin Shan was not panicked at all. After all, the contract was very restrictive this time. When the time came, he would have no way to refuse. He could not lie flat, so he could only work for me obediently for the rest of his life.

The contract given by Master Huang this time was equivalent to directly saving him 32 points of Ancient Rhythm, which was just right.

……

Next, everyone controlled the flying boat and started a new journey with great confidence.

Before, everyone was unhappy because the future was uncertain and life and death were hard to predict. Now with a great master like Huang Xianshi in charge, when they go to the Black Lotus Sect headquarters, they will be the loyal followers of the new Dharma King in the Nascent Soul Stage!

By then, you will have the best food and drink, and all kinds of church resources at your fingertips. Wouldn’t that be great?
Everyone was looking forward to the future in fantasy, except for the Black Skeleton Demon Lord who was sitting alone at the bow of the boat, splicing his own ribs.

It had originally been planning intensively to secretly recover to the Jindan stage before Lin Shan so that it could abolish the contract and take away the innate spiritual treasure. However, it did not expect that old man Zhong would see through its cultivation level.

Now, even the Jindan stage has been shackled. I am afraid I can only wait until I recover to the Yuanying stage before I can take the initiative.

Infant stage.
For the sake of the innate spiritual treasure, I endure it!
The flying boat was stable along the way, crossing the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and passing through more than ten countries. During the journey, they also encountered several dangerous places, monster bird attacks and even natural disasters, but they were all suppressed by Master Huang.

The Nascent Soul Stage is worthy of being the high-end combat force in the world of cultivation. No one dares to provoke them when they are outside, and they have smooth sailing all the way.

Lin Shan also took advantage of this free time to practice diligently. After using the phantom liquid on time and in the right amount, he could clearly feel that his eyes were shining. He could clearly see through the formation prohibitions on the flying boat. Even if the formation principles were not well understood, it was no problem to just see through them.

In addition, he usually uses the Virtual Star Disk to temper his body with star power, which has greatly improved the strength of both his soul and body. As long as he persists for a long time, he will gradually become a level higher than the cultivators of the same level.

In this way, more than a year passed unknowingly, and the flying boat slowly traveled a million miles, and the State of Lu was in sight.
