Chapter 259 Enemies meet
On the waterside pavilion, the four of them exchanged greetings and sat down.

The Yang family patriarch raised his hand and introduced the two old friends first.

"This is the fellow traveler I mentioned to you a few days ago, and he is also the future rookie of our Lujiang League."

Before he could finish, the old man with the trough nose on his left was the first to smile.

"Haha, I already know. I think it must be Master Lin of Xun Gu Sect! He is indeed a young talent, less than a hundred years old, and very handsome!"

The sound was as deep as thunder and so loud that it spread far away. People in other pavilions were also startled and turned around to look sideways.

Even the lone rangers who were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed on the pool platform opened their eyes, looked over here, pricked up their ears and paid close attention.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounding the pool suddenly became quiet. They shut their mouths and secretly looked over here.

Lin Shan felt a little uncomfortable and forced a smile. He didn't mean to show off, but the old man with the trough nose had such a loud voice.

This is great, it has attracted a lot of people's attention.

However, now that his strength has improved, he doesn't need to be too timid. But he still feels a little uncomfortable being called out in such a broad daylight.

"I'm Lin Shan, and I'm honored to meet you."

On the right was a red-haired old man with a wide smile and a fat belly. He looked at Lin Shan kindly and nodded in greeting.

The Yang family's ancestor didn't care much about it. With his cultivation level of the late Jindan period, everyone on the field knew him, and he was not afraid of attracting attention.

He introduced these two people to Lin Shan.

The old man with rosacea on the left hand has a loud voice and is noisy by nature. He is the grand elder of the Lubei Zhenyue Sect.

The fat red-haired old man on the right is none other than the wandering cultivator Xuchan Cave Master from East Shandong.

Both of them are in the late Jindan stage. They are veteran strongmen of the same generation as the ancestor of the Yang family and are also very famous in the State of Lu.

Among all the Jindan-stage cultivators who participated in the trip to the forbidden area on the cliff, there were really not many in the late Jindan stage. After all, such people are the mainstay of the forces behind them, and if an accident happens, big problems will arise!

In addition, in most sects, there are not many Jindan-stage masters, and they will not put themselves in danger unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, it is not easy for the entire Lu State to gather so many Jindan-stage cultivators.

Among them, all the late Jindan stage ones added together do not exceed one hand!

It just so happened that the three brothers of the Yang family went to the forbidden area together this time. The combination of three late Jindan brothers was such a powerful force that it immediately became the focus of the whole audience!

No wonder the ancestor of the Yang family dared to come out this time. It is obvious that he has the confidence and self-confidence to rely on. After weighing various factors, he has a strong hope of winning the first place. This is also the strongest small group in the whole field.

I have to say that the ancestor of the Yang family is really capable.

The other Jindan Zhenren also glanced over here frequently, all revealing looks of fear.

Lin Shan had just come out of seclusion and had not yet fully understood the various forces. At the beginning, he accidentally joined a group of three powerful people. He didn't know whether he should be excited or helpless.

The advantage is safety. They are the strongest gang in the whole place, and he can avoid taking detours by following his allies.

The disadvantages are also obvious. At that time, he will most likely just be sightseeing. If there are not enough benefits to share, then he will definitely not get any share and will be lucky to have a sip of soup at most.

The three old monsters must need top-grade spiritual objects like the Lu Yu Stalactite more than Lin Shan. In order to prolong their lifespans, there is no way they would share any of them with this young boy. There is no doubt about it.

Therefore, these three people will eventually become Lin Shan's competitors.

But for now, Lin Shan has not expressed his needs clearly, nor has he told people that he really needs the Lu Yu Stalactite. This is the advantage of hiding his purpose.

What's more, he has already reached the Golden Core Stage. At such a young age, it seems that he does not need Jade Liquid to refine his body, nor does he need to prolong his lifespan. No one knows what the purpose of his trip is.

The old man with the trough nose, the chief elder of Zhenyue Sect, also raised questions at the right time, trying to test his attitude.

"Master Lin, why are you going there in person this time? We three brothers will keep an eye out for you on the road."

Lin Shan laughed it off, looking honest and sincere.

"I have just broken through the Jindan stage and don't have a magic weapon that suits me. I heard that the forbidden area on the cliffs of the Swallowing Star Mountains contains the inheritance of many ancient great men, so I plan to try my luck."

When the three heard this, they looked at each other in silence.

Good guy!
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

You just broke through the Jindan stage, not to mention you are a worthless fighter, you don’t even have a magic weapon, yet you dare to go to the forbidden area on the cliff???

play?

I don't know what to say to young people nowadays.
The two old brothers looked at the ancestor of the Yang family together, with obvious questions in their eyes.

You're bringing this burden with you, do you really want him to be your bodyguard along the way?
The ancestor of the Yang family was also stunned. He really had not expected this.

So, this kid doesn’t even have a magic weapon?

Why were you so courageous back then?

But then I thought about it.

Too
Xun Gu Sect is so poor, it has only been established from scratch for more than ten years.
It seems normal to have no magic weapon.

However, why do I remember that Elder Hei Ku has two magic weapons in his hands?
Considering that this trip to the forbidden area on the cliff is a life-threatening one, it is understandable that Elder Hei Ku does not dare to borrow the magic weapon. Even he himself left his most handy magic weapon at the Yang family, for fear that it would be lost outside, and he was prepared for the worst.

However, he had just broken through to the early stage of the Golden Core Stage and had no magic weapon. Isn’t this the bottom of the Golden Core Stage?
Another red-haired old man, the master of Xuchan Cave, a wandering cultivator from northern Shandong, asked Lin Shan with a puzzled look on his face.

"Master Lin doesn't even have a magic weapon. If we three brothers fail to protect him when he encounters danger, won't we become sinners for eternity?"

Although Master Xuchan of the Xuchan Cave said nice things, he was actually worried that Lin Shan would hold him back.

At this time, Lin Shan also climbed up the pole, with a look of belated realization.

"That makes sense, how about you, seniors, lend me a magic weapon?"

The three of them were choked with words for a moment, and immediately shook their heads like rattles, repeatedly claiming that before leaving, they had left their magic weapons to the forces behind them and their disciples, and they themselves did not bring any magic weapons.

Lin Shan couldn't help but frown and sighed, "The four of us are going to a dangerous place, but none of us brought any magic weapons. Aren't we just soft persimmons, at the mercy of others?"

The three brothers also sighed: "Before we left, we all wanted to rely on each other, but we didn't expect that we would think of the same thing!"

The four of them laughed and clapped their hands: "We don't seek eternal fame after death, but we do seek friends to walk the same path with us!"

“Hahahahahaha!~~~”

The unbridled laughter of the four people echoed in the Lotus Fragrance Garden, attracting the attention of everyone in the garden. Everyone became more worried and regarded this small group as the biggest enemy of this trip, remembering every face in their hearts.

Lin Shan knew that if he followed these three people, he would never be able to keep a low profile, so he decided to just go for it and decided that it was more important to get along with his teammates first.

When the three brothers listened to him speak, they all thought he was a wonderful person, and their tone gradually became familiar, without the awkwardness at the beginning.

In a short while, Lin Shan started addressing them as "older brother, younger brother". Those who didn't know would think they were close friends regardless of age. ...

Next, several people were talking.

The ancestor of the Yang family also secretly pointed fingers at the people on the scene from time to time and introduced the identities of these people to Lin Shan.

"That person is Master Hui Chang from Plum Blossom Forest, a cultivator in the early stage of Golden Core."

"That person is Taoist He Yu from Lantian Prefecture, a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core."

"That person is Yin Qing from Chaozhou, a casual cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage."

"That is the Taoist nun Ji Luo from Lingzhongzhu, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core."

"That is Master Puchang from Mixian Ridge, a late Jindan cultivator."

……

Lin Shan followed their gaze and looked at them one by one, then wrote down each person's background so that he had a clear idea of ​​them.

When he saw an old man with gray eyebrows on the stone platform in the pool, this person suddenly opened his eyes by sensing and looked towards the pavilion where Lin Shan was.

For a moment, this person's eyes were like the eyes of a whirlpool sea, hazy and dreamy, as if they wanted to suck Lin Shan's eyes firmly, seduce his mind to sink here, never to be able to turn over.

Fortunately, Lin Shan's spiritual consciousness was strong. When his soul pill vibrated, all ninety-nine and eighty-one orifices spewed out soul energy at the same time. His head felt cool and he finally reacted. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The ancestor of the Yang family, the great elder of the Zhenyue sect and the master of the Xuchan cave nearby all had solemn expressions on their faces. They were very wary of the gray-browed old man on the stone platform. At the same time, they were a little surprised that Lin Shan could break free from the illusion so quickly.

"This man is the great elder of Mixian Ridge, Master Puchang, who is approaching his death. He is in the late Jindan stage and is good at illusions and formations. Not only does he have the Misleading Pupil Technique, he is also a master of formations. He is very familiar with arranging various illusion formations and is an extremely difficult opponent."

The fact that these three brothers all rated him as "extremely difficult" shows that he is really amazing.

Zhenren Puchang on the stone platform was also slightly surprised. A young man in the early stage of Jindan was not affected by his pupil technique for long. His spiritual power was really strong. No wonder he could sit together with the three ancestors of the Yang family. It seemed that he had some abilities.

He also knew that the three old men were not easy to deal with, and he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he turned his eyes away and ignored them.

The clear light in Lin Shan's eyes also disappeared. His resistance to illusions was not bad. Others might only see a ball of gray light when looking at the stone platform on the pool, but he could clearly see the whole appearance of Master Puchang. This was the result of applying the illusion liquid for a long time.

Although the Phantom Ancient Tree was temporarily plucked bald by the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, as all its branches were taken away in order to refine his own soul treasure, it was still okay for Lin Shan to let it "bleed" a little, extracting some sap from time to time to stack resistance for himself, without hindering its thriving growth.

It is not easy for trees to produce blood, just water them more.

Lin Shan also knew that the four people were staring at him at the same time just now, and they were just reacting instinctively and alertly, just to show their strength. It was not a conflict, so he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at them.

Along with the introduction by the Yang family ancestor, there were also acquaintances that Lin Shan had met.

For example, at this moment, on the Nine-Curve Corridor, there are two Taoists admiring the lotus in the pond.

"I think that Master Lin had some impression of those two when he was attacking the Dai family. They are the independent cultivators Shanyangzi and Chenglongzi. They are the Jindan-stage cultivators specially invited by the Dai family to help. At that time, these two caused our Lujiang League to suffer a great loss!"

Speaking of this, the ancestor of the Yang family gritted his teeth.

"The Chongyang Tianzhu Formation provided by Shan Yangzi to the Dai family caused the death of two Jindan Zhenren in my Yang family. This hatred is irreconcilable!"

"The Star-Brightening Aurora Mirror provided by Cheng Longzi caused one of my two magic weapons to be damaged and the other destroyed that day. It also seriously injured me and required me to recuperate for ten years!"

"I issued a wanted notice in Lujiang League after the war and offered a reward for these two people for a long time. I have been investigating them in many ways but have not been able to find their whereabouts. I didn't expect to meet them here today. It's true that if you don't take the road to heaven, you will come to hell!"

"It looks like they are also going to enter the Star Devouring Mountains and go deep into the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. If we meet them then, we can just take revenge!"

……

The ancestor of the Yang family had a deep hatred for these two people and it was obvious that he wanted to kill them as soon as possible.

The reason why we don't take action now is mainly because fairy cities like Jiangning City also have rules. Fighting is not allowed in the city, otherwise it will cause too much damage and easily affect the reputation of the fairy city.

He didn't want to break the rules now and anger the local tyrants. Otherwise, once the various formations in the city were activated, he would be in trouble even if he was in the late Jindan stage.

Moreover, there were dozens of Jindan-stage masters present. If he dared to kill people by force, he would easily become the target of public criticism, which would affect his subsequent trip to the forbidden area on the cliff.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now that we are at the forbidden area on the cliff, are we still afraid that these two brothers will run away?

Lin Shan and the other two brothers also shared the same hatred and made promises one after another.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, we will not stand idly by when the time comes. A hero has three helpers, and we will not let you fight alone!"

The Yang family's ancestor was very pleased and bowed to express his gratitude one by one.

"I have the three of you to help me, so I don't have to worry about not accomplishing this great mission!"

They are very sympathetic to each other here.

At the Nine-Turn Corridor, two Taoists, one white and one gray, seemed to be admiring the lotus, but they were actually very nervous!
The two men were Shanyangzi and Chenglongzi. They kept secretly glancing at a pavilion in the pond and communicating with each other through telepathy.

Shan Yangzi was upset: "Brother, the Yang family's ancestor is here too, what should we do?"

Cheng Longzi became even more nervous: "How would I know? This old guy is in the late Jindan stage. Who knows that he doesn't stay in Lujiang League to enjoy his old age, but instead runs to the Swallowing Star Mountains to take risks when he is full. Isn't this a disease?"

Shan Yangzi pouted his goatee and said, "How about we not go this time?"

Cheng Longzi frowned and said, "I have waited for two decades to figure out the pattern of the aurora borealis. This year, I just happened to calculate a certain secret and I can capture such a powerful weapon myself. Are you sure you want to give up?"

Shan Yangzi's eyes wandered: "This weapon is powerful, but life is even more important. If you die because of it, wouldn't it be a loss of the greater for the smaller?"

Cheng Longzi was unwilling to give up: "With the Xingyao Aurora, I can go to the nest of the Chongming bird that you found that year, hunt down the Chongming bird in the late Jindan stage, and capture all the chicks at the same time. That's a chance to get rich overnight!"

Shan Yangzi struggled: "I also know that it is not easy for us to be independent cultivators. This opportunity to get rich quickly is too rare, but the two of us are only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. How can we fight against the old master of the late stage like the ancestor of the Yang family?"

Cheng Longzi said fiercely, "Have you forgotten that we have been secretly selling off our property over the years and have gathered enough materials to refine two more Chongyang Fire Pillars. Together with the three that Master Dai gave us before he died, we can fully recreate the power of the Chongyang Heavenly Pillar Formation and be able to defeat a late Jindan cultivator!"

Sanyoko is indecisive, while Chenglongzi is very decisive, which can be seen in some occasions.

Shan Yangzi was still hesitant: "The Yang family's ancestor is not alone. He is also helped by the Zhenyue Sect's Great Elder and Xuchan Cave Master, who are masters in the late Jindan period. How can we defeat three people?"

Cheng Longzi raised his lips slightly, "Brother Dao, you worry too much. Although the three brothers call each other brothers, they are actually not in harmony. Weren't the two brothers of the Dai family killed by the ancestor of the Yang family himself? Do you really think they are as close as brothers?"

"Besides, the Star-Swallowing Mountains are so huge that even if we really try to hide, they may not be able to find us!"

The two of them talked to each other for a while, and finally Chenglongzi made the final decision. Shanyangzi was not firm in his position and agreed to continue with the original plan.

It's done!

Find wealth in danger!
The two of them were on high alert, secretly observing the actions of the three Yang family ancestors at all times, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

As for the other young man in the early Jindan stage in the pavilion, they chose to ignore him for the time being.
