Immortal Road.

Chapter 220: Conquering Lingshan
The Black Skull Demon Lord was in high spirits at this time. He broke the formation one after another and instantly surpassed Master Zhan Kong over there. His speed in breaking the formation was so fast that he was completely different from before.

Master Zhankong and a group of people tried their best to calculate, but they could not keep up with its progress at all. They could only watch as one large formation after another was destroyed by it.

That cannon fodder suicide squad was always in danger, but they managed to survive miraculously. They were like fish in water in the Dai family's protective formation, running around to avoid killing moves, destroying the base of the formation and making it a complete mess.

In the later period, the Black Skull Demon Lord became more and more daring, and with the help of Lin Shan's secret message, he even used his Jindan stage strength himself to command the cannon fodder squad to cause trouble while breaking the formation violently.

“Boom boom boom~~~Crack crack crack~~~”

The Dai family's protective formation collapsed in an instant, the light curtains dissipated piece by piece, the colorful spiritual light in the sky escaped, and the sound of "bang bang bang" continued. Master Zhankong and his gang were stunned! The counting chips in their hands fell to the ground, and they forgot to break the formation and just watched it perform.

This crazy advancement not only scared the top leaders of the alliance on the platform, but also shocked the opponents of the Dai family.

The three Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family stood on the wall building and shouted, "Who is the master on the other side who can break our clan's formation?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was very proud: "I am the elder of the Lujiang League, the vice president of the Lin's Chamber of Commerce, and the Black Withered Wanderer!"

"Black and withered scattered people?"

The three Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family quickly asked Shanyangzi and Chenglongzi beside them: "Two Daoist brothers, have you ever heard of a Jindan stage cultivator named Hei Ku Sanren in the cultivation world of Lu?"

Shanyangzi and Chenglongzi both shook their heads and said they had never heard of the name.

"Based on this person's speed in breaking formations, I'm afraid he is almost as good as a formation master. It's a blessing for us that Lujiang League can invite such a master."

The Dai family's Jindan Zhenren watched as their own protective formations were broken one after another, and couldn't help but tremble with fear, and shouted to the outside of the formation:

"Brother Hei Ku has extraordinary abilities, and everyone in my Dai family admires him. Why did you help the tyrant and force your way into someone else's house today?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord replied coldly: "You, the Dai family, have bullied the Lin's Chamber of Commerce. I have been unhappy with you for a long time. What's more, the Lujiang League is a righteous army. This is a good opportunity to take revenge!"

In fact, it was Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou who burned down the Lin family fish pond and captured the people from Xiongshan. The elders of the Dai family were really unaware of this and hurriedly explained:

"Fellow Daoist Hei Ku, why did you come to this? If there is any misunderstanding, please speak up. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. My Dai family is willing to do our best to resolve it!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord laughed strangely, and while breaking the formation, he teased casually: "You still want to try your best to resolve it? I will give this real person a sacred mountain and blessed land first, and see how sincere you are."

Unexpectedly, the three Jindan Zhenren from the Dai family opposite discussed for a moment and actually agreed decisively!
"Three thousand miles north of here, there is a Tianfu Mountain with a mid-level spiritual vein buried underneath. My Dai family is willing to give it to Brother Hei Ku as a token of our sincerity!"

"what?!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord stopped moving his hands and was stunned for a moment.

The people on the stage were watching the show, but when they heard this, they thought it was not good and shouted:
"Don't believe it, Elder Hei Ku. This is a plot to sow discord. After the Dai family is razed to the ground, won't their property be taken away at will?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord came to his senses and realized that this was indeed the case, and prepared to continue attacking.

A loud shout was heard from the Dai Clan formation: "Fellow Daoist Hei Ku, think carefully. My Dai Clan only has five sacred mountains and blessed lands, which are not enough for the Lujiang Alliance to share. With your meager power, how can you get one from the Yang Clan and the four major families in Wangyue City?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed a little hesitant, and acted a little slowly, wavering.

Everyone in the Lujiang League here hurriedly shouted angrily: "The Dai family is full of tricks and lies, and they are trying to confuse the people. Don't try to deceive Elder Hei Ku!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was hesitant, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, but the Dai family's protective formation did not suppress him, and there were signs of rebounding. Master Zhan Kong and others over there could not suppress him in an instant, and they vomited blood one after another.

The Yang family patriarch hurriedly shouted: "Elder Hei Ku, please don't be confused. The Dai family is untrustworthy. Don't be deceived by them!"

The three Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family laughed out loud: "Daoist Hei Ku is working so hard at this moment, and later he will be doing wedding clothes for the Yang family and the four great families of Wangyue City in vain. Alas, why did he do this?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to be panicking, and quickly turned to look at the general platform: "Alliance leader, is this really the case?"

The ancestor of the Yang family was startled and glanced at the four Jindan Zhenren of Wangyue City without leaving a trace. The five of them looked a little unnatural.

After all, the blessed land of Lingshan is the greatest wealth. Whether it is cultivation, planting spiritual fields, opening up medicine gardens, refining pills, refining equipment, setting up formations, etc., all of them are inseparable from the spiritual land. Unless a large amount of spiritual stones are consumed at one time, otherwise it will be like rootless duckweed.

Who would complain about having too many sacred mountains and blessed places?

As long as you have land, you will have wealth, friends and law sooner or later. This is enough property to be passed down for thousands of years!
The Dai family only has five sacred mountains and blessed lands, which will naturally be divided up among the five major forces in the Lujiang League afterwards. How could the Lin Chamber of Commerce, which is at the bottom of the list, possibly take them all!
Isn't this obvious?
The Yang family patriarch hesitated, at a loss: "Well, Elder Hei Ku, listen to me, it's not like that. Afterwards, we..."

The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and suddenly became dispirited and looked like he had lost all his fighting spirit. He stopped breaking the formation in despair.

It didn't matter that it gave up. Its previous brave and aggressive methods of breaking the formation had not been completely cracked in many places. With the emergency repairs of the Dai family, it quickly rebounded. The pressure on Master Zhankong's people doubled, and their faces turned red and their ears and noses were bleeding.

The Yang family ancestor hurriedly comforted him: "Elder Hei Ku, don't be discouraged. We can discuss the division of the spoils slowly later. Breaking the formation is the most important thing now!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord hung his head in dejection, as if he had accepted his fate, and burst into tears:

"I have wasted half my life traveling around, planning and thinking hard, just to find a place for the Lin's Chamber of Commerce to stay. But now a bucket of cold water has been poured on me, and all my plans have gone to waste!"

"If it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. It seems that I will never be able to own a sacred mountain of my own in this lifetime!"

"What Jindan-stage cultivators, what formation masters, are nothing but passing clouds. Even the wish to establish a sect cannot be realized!"

"Forget it, forget it, let's go home."

It waved its hands weakly, and seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. The feeling of shattered hope was heartbreaking, as if it was describing the sorrow of an old man whose old age was unknown but who had no home. All the cultivators of the Lujiang League could not help but be infected by the artistic conception and turned their eyes away, unable to bear to look directly at it.

Everyone at the Dai family's side was secretly delighted and hurried to repair the formation, while silently praying that Hei Ku Sanren would get out of here quickly and not come here to make trouble again. Tell me, why are you joining in the fun when you have nothing better to do?
Is it possible for a casual cultivator like you to covet the blessed land of Lingshan? Why don't you take a piss and look at your origins?
On the platform of the Lujiang League, the four major families of Wangyue City were silent, with flickering eyes and guilty consciences, while the Jindan Zhenren of the other four sects also sighed inwardly. How could they not know that the sacred mountain blessed land was just a luxury for casual cultivators?

The other sixty-two small forces were in a hurry, watching the troops in front who were covering the formation master being beaten down by the Dai family's city defense weapons. Team after team of cannon fodder were sent in by Master Zhan Kong and others to ward off disaster.

They couldn't help but shout in unison: "Elder Hei Ku, please think twice and don't be discouraged!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord turned a deaf ear to him and staggered out of the formation, as if he was really going to return to his hometown to live in hiding. Meanwhile, the Lin's Chamber of Commerce camp was also dismantling their camps. Lin Shan led Mu Yan and others to pack up their things quickly, as if they were also going to cooperate in the escape.

The Yang family ancestor knew clearly that it wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him, but he had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill, beat his chest and stamp his feet, and tried to persuade it:

"With a powerful enemy at hand and victory within sight, why would Elder Hei Ku do this? Why would he do this?"

Leaders of various forces: "Elder Hei Ku, please don't leave. The Lujiang League cannot live without you!"

The monks in the alliance shouted again and again: "Elder Hei Ku, please stay here quickly and don't fall into the trap of the thieves!"

Everyone in the Dai family fanned the flames: "Daoist Hei Ku is very righteous, and the people in the Lujiang League are in collusion, secretly bending the law and oppressing the loyal and good people. It's better not to wait!"...

Seeing the light screens of the Dai family's protective formation light up again one by one, Master Zhankong and others vomited blood, unable to withstand the backlash of the formation. The ancestor of the Yang family finally couldn't hold it anymore and let out a long roar:
"Elder Hei Ku, please return to your seat. I will make the decision today. Afterwards, the Lin's Chamber of Commerce will be awarded a sacred mountain as a reward for the merit of breaking the formation!"

As soon as these words came out, the Golden Core Masters from the four great families of Wangyue City behind him hurriedly spoke up: "Alliance Master, didn't we agree..."

The Yang family ancestor turned around grimly and said, "I won't delay you four families. I'll give him the Yang family's share. You don't have to worry about it!"

The four of them returned to their seats out of shame.

The ancestor of the Yang family turned around and quickly changed his expression. He called out to the Black Skull Demon Lord with a smile on his face. He looked quite magnanimous. He patted his chest and made a promise, and swore an oath in front of everyone.

The Black Skull Demon Lord finally stopped and seemed a little embarrassed.

"Alliance leader, what virtue and ability do I have to bear the grace of the Yang family to cut off my own flesh and feed it to the wolves?"

The ancestor of the Yang family cursed in his heart, your analogy is quite appropriate, you also know that you are an ungrateful person who can never be tamed?

But on the surface, he had to pretend to be polite, smiling and waving his hands:

"Hey, Elder Hei Ku, what are you talking about? Yang originally wanted to give you a surprise, but he almost outsmarted me. What do you think of this?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was still hesitating, feeling unworthy.

"My Lin's Chamber of Commerce has only a few hundred people, but we were allocated a sacred mountain. I'm afraid the leaders of the various forces will not accept it, and all the brothers in the alliance will be disappointed!"

The Yang family ancestor said earnestly: "Elder Hei Ku, you are worrying too much. We have all wanted to give you a sacred mountain for a long time, but we just haven't had the opportunity. Why do you belittle yourself?"

The leaders of the forces on the stage nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Elder Hei Ku deserves a sacred mountain!"

All the monks in front of the alliance, while being beaten by the Dai family's city defense weapons, also echoed loudly with dusty faces: "That's right, that's right, it should be so!"

The Black Skull Demon King had no choice but to return to the battlefield and continue working on breaking the formation after being persuaded by everyone.

Lin Shan led his men and quickly returned to the original camp. They set up camp one by one with great skill, leaving the other nine forces stunned.

When the Dai family saw that Hei Ku Sanren had come back again, they were so anxious that they jumped up and down. They tried all kinds of tactics, such as sowing discord, inflicting pain on themselves, and seducing women, but found that none of them worked.

Their previous wave of rebellion played into Hei Ku Sanren's hands, and not only did it fail to drive away a powerful enemy, but it also gained him enormous benefits!
The Black Skull Demon Lord received the public promise from the ancestor of the Yang family, and this time he attacked violently, attacking the clan protection formation. The last few teams of cannon fodder were all sent in by him, and natural disasters continued to surge inside.

“Kachakaka~Kacha~!!”

The formation that had just been repaired collapsed in an instant, accompanied by a series of flashes of spiritual light around it. The pressure on Master Zhankong suddenly decreased, and he finally got a chance to catch his breath.

The Allied forces once again received good news from the general platform.

"Report, Elder Hei Ku has broken the Liuhe Formation!"

"Report, Elder Hei Ku has broken the Seven Star Formation!"

"Report, Elder Hei Ku has broken the Bagua formation!"

……

The Yang family ancestors and others were all smiling, and the previous haze was swept away. They instantly felt that since Elder Hei Ku was so brave, it seemed reasonable for him to be given a sacred mountain.

Finally, with the help of Lin Shan, the Black Skull Demon Lord broke the last "Ten Direction Formation" of the Dai family in one fell swoop. The chain formation that the Dai family had operated for thousands of years collapsed and turned into light spots in the sky with a rumbling sound.

The ancestor of the Yang family had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He immediately drew out the sword of the leader and swung it forward directly towards the Dai family.

"Army attack!"

All the Jindan Zhenren flew into the air, riding the rainbow light and roaring away. The troops from various forces followed closely behind them, waving their weapons and shouting excitedly:
"Destroy the Dai family to the ground, leaving no one alive!"

"Kill them all!"

"Burn it all!"

“Grab them all!”

Behind the huge group of cultivators, thousands of spirit beasts were released, as well as hundreds of chariots. These were the foundation of the sects of the major forces. At this moment, they did not care to hide them and wanted to rush into the Dai family to rob.

“Ahhhhh!!!~~~”

"Grumbling!!!~~~"

The strange beasts roared and the war horses pulled the carts. In a short while, they had rolled over the outer moat and directly concentrated their fire to break through the outer courtyard wall and kill their way into the Dai family's home. Bricks engraved with inscriptions collapsed one by one and were easily picked up by the monks of the alliance who passed by, thoroughly implementing the principle of grabbing everything.

After all the main forces had entered the Dai family, the Lin Chamber of Commerce and other talents, who had suffered a lot, finally arrived.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was currently being polite with Master Zhan Kong and the others, and was not in a hurry to rush in to grab the credit. After all, breaking the Dai family's protective formation was a great achievement in itself, and the Yang family's ancestors and the others were also happy to see it stay outside.

And these formation masters all looked at the Black Skull Demon Lord in admiration, thinking that he was a big man who was infinitely close to being a formation master. Even Master Zhankong came over, implicitly treating him as a half-disciple, wanting to ask him questions in many aspects.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was almost overwhelmed. Its true level was probably the same as Master Zhan Kong's. How could it teach him? Seeing Lin Shan and others passing by, it quickly left them behind and jumped onto the bronze puppet chariot.

This is also the only chariot of the Lin Chamber of Commerce. It was contributed by Master Turtle from the East Sea after his death. Lin Shan used it all the way from Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, to here. The hooves of the two horses pulling the chariot are almost crushed, and the two bronze puppets on the chariot are also missing arms and legs.

In addition, at this moment, hundreds of people were crowded in this car, and the serious overload was not a big deal. The two war horses snorted with difficulty and slowly pulled them into the Dai family.

But just as they entered the courtyard wall, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded in front.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"Boom~~~"

Five golden pillars of fire shot up into the sky, waves of heat spread violently, and one by one the fire men retreated from the front line. The smell of burning and screams were heard incessantly.

"No, there's an ambush!"
