Immortal Road.

Chapter 291: Star Shift Trap
The pursuit lasted a whole day and a night.

Along the way, the Yuanlu Demon King gathered his defeated soldiers and resisted many times, but was defeated easily by the Kuihu Demon King every time.

After following for such a long distance, Lin Shan and his two companions discovered that the Demon King Kuihu was indeed the old overlord of the Cliff Forbidden Land. The army of tigers and wolves under his command was truly extraordinary. They were all elites carefully selected from all the carnivorous monsters in the major mountains and plains.

One is worth ten, and that’s not an empty statement.

If the Yuanlu Demon King had not relied on the large number of herbivorous monsters and his own super-model strength, he would have been defeated long ago.

This time, the Kuihu Demon King broke out of seclusion and led his troops to attack with great momentum. He was determined to kill the enemy in one battle and would not give it any chance to develop and grow. His violent attitude was far greater than before.

This style of fighting directly confused the Yuanlu Demon King.

Logically speaking, after fighting for two hundred years, shouldn't the other side have been taking the safe route and advancing step by step?

Why did he go deep into the enemy's territory alone this time, follow behind and pursue us relentlessly?
However, even though he couldn't figure it out, the Yuanlu Demon King was happy with the other party's behavior. After all, he had already arranged it in the back.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

……

Fog suddenly appeared ahead, partially blocking my view.

The faint outline of mountains appeared on the horizon.

The two camps on the plains were still chasing each other. Herbivorous monsters such as cattle and horses generally had amazing endurance, and battle royales were commonplace for them.

Carnivorous monsters like tigers and leopards have enough explosive power in a short period of time, but not enough to last long. This is also limited by the survival rules of the animal world. It is just like this by nature.

Therefore, the charge in combat is more fierce, but the pursuit is more weak.

All they could do was watch the defeated soldiers of the Yuanlu Demon King running farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the fog.

The Kuihu Demon King had been fighting for a whole day and night. It had been a long time since he had such a continuous enjoyment. Without Mr. Bei's steady fighting style, he suddenly felt that this was the most satisfying way and he was in an excited state.

It didn't notice that its demon soldiers were all so tired that their limbs ached, panting with their tongues hanging out, and they were only focused on chasing and attacking.

"Kill! Don't stop!"

"Don't you see they have already lost their fighting spirit? Just hold on a little longer, and victory will be within reach!"

"As long as you can annex the Yuanlu Demon King, all the creatures under its command will become your food!"

"I promise that if we win this battle, we will kill all the captives and hold a three-day feast!"

……

"Ouch~~~~~"

When the demon soldiers heard that they could eat as much as they wanted, they immediately became energetic and their saliva was almost flowing like a river.

Lin Shan and the other two had worried expressions on their faces and looked around hesitantly.

First, he failed to lead his troops to Hongya Cave, so his plan was cut short halfway and he had to make other plans; second, without the restraint of Mr. Bei by the side of the Demon King Kuihu, he became like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, charging forward recklessly without leaving any way to retreat, and when he went crazy he could not stop at all.

It is also possible that it has been suppressed for hundreds of years, so it is just indulged.

It was just that the thick fog around them made them feel that something was wrong.

As for what was wrong, they couldn't tell.

……

A quarter of an hour's gallop in the fog.

The demon king Kuihu was still urging the carriage to move forward faster. Zhong Shenxiu looked into the distance through the hazy light and suddenly found something strange. He quickly shouted to stop.

"My lord, the terrain ahead is complex. It is not suitable to advance in the fog. We should stop and rest!"

The Kuihu Demon King laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"Military Advisor Zhong, why do you need to be so cautious? Fog on the plains is a common occurrence. There is no need to make a fuss."

Lin Shan also felt uneasy, and followed him forward to advise: "I'm afraid that the Yuanlu Demon King will take advantage of the fog and set an ambush ahead. Your Majesty must be on guard!"

"What's so difficult about this?"

The Kuihu Demon King smiled proudly. Things like celestial phenomena are troublesome for ordinary cultivators, but they are nothing for those in the Nascent Soul stage.

In the Nascent Soul stage, one can control the momentum, that is, the power of heaven and earth, and changing the celestial phenomena is just a piece of cake.

It was seen sitting upright on the carriage, without moving a step, just roaring towards the sky.

“Roar!~~~”

The mad wolf's sound waves spread out, layer by layer.

The monsters felt the ground shaking three times and their feet became unstable.

The fog around was motionless.

"."

The demon generals looked at each other.

The demon king Kuihu felt a little embarrassed, so he coughed and stood up.

This time it directly stretched out its tiger claws and sucked towards the sky from afar. All the clouds and mist seemed to be pulled invisibly and gradually began to move slowly, but the movement was not large and was still useless.

The monsters looked around, not daring to breathe.

The demon king Kuihu was immediately furious!

It felt humiliated. As a mighty demon king, it couldn't even get rid of a cloud of fog during the pursuit. This was simply out of character.

"Boom~~~"

A huge demonic aura spread out, and dark blue demonic clouds covered the sky and the sun. In a blink of an eye, all the surroundings were engulfed in fog, and it was pitch black, with no visibility of one’s hand in front of one’s face.

All directions of vision were lost in an instant, and even the magic power in the body had difficulty flowing.

Before Lin Shan and the other two had time to be shocked by the horror of the late Nascent Soul stage, in the blink of an eye, light returned to their surroundings.

It turned out that the Demon King Kuihu had taken back the demonic energy and eliminated all the clouds and fog in the process.

At this time, the scene ahead was revealed.

All the monsters were shocked.

They were on a downhill road at the moment, and standing high and looking far ahead, they could see the entire scene ahead.

Looking at the four mountains standing in front of him, they were flashing a hazy white light. On each mountain, there were incomprehensible ancient scripts, and strings of pictographic symbols were arranged irregularly, like crooked array patterns.

There is a secluded path in the middle that extends to the center of the four valleys. It is an extremely huge basin, which is ten miles in radius.

The Yuanlu Demon King was wearing a white coat and was sitting there quietly waiting.

The four mountains are densely packed with demon soldiers, numbering tens of thousands in total!

When the demon king Kuihu saw this scene, he was also stunned for a moment. He stopped outside and looked around. He didn't expect that the meeting would be like this.

The heavy fog just now was obviously carefully designed by the Yuanlu Demon King. It was definitely not an ordinary natural phenomenon, otherwise it would not have taken up so much effort on it.

The Yuanlu Demon King, who was waiting in the valley, also opened his eyes at this time, with the same surprise.

It seemed that the Kuihu Demon King was just a few steps away from stepping into the trap, but ended up stopping outside the mountain!
The two of them stared blankly inside and outside the mountain, while Zhong Shenxiu was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, he stared blankly at the scene and terrain in front of him, muttering to himself and saying it was impossible.

"The earth has four forces, and the energy comes from eight directions. Therefore, the burial site should be the Azure Dragon on the left, the White Tiger on the right, the Vermilion Bird in front, and the Black Tortoise behind. The Black Tortoise hangs its head, the Vermilion Bird flies and dances, the Azure Dragon is winding, and the White Tiger is docile. If the situation is the opposite, the law should be broken and the death should be achieved."

“Qi moves through the earth. Its movement depends on the earth’s momentum. Its gathering depends on where the momentum stops.”

"This, this, this."

"Could it really be the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting place?"

……

He stuttered here, looking at the four mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, ethereal and ethereal, with curling white smoke and fluorescent dots.

A clear spring stretched in all directions, dividing the exit into eight sections, and gathered at the underground river well in the middle. This was clearly a serious and dangerous place, exactly the same as the description he had seen in the Sutra Pavilion of the White Deer Academy!
Originally, "Xuanwu Rejecting Corpses" was just a gimmick he used to deceive and fool the Kuihu Demon King. After all, he didn't know how the Yuanlu Demon King would ambush, so he just had to predict and avoid it in advance.

Whether or not you encounter it later is actually not a big deal.

But he never expected that he would be so lucky as to guess correctly!

The Kuihu Demon King finally came to his senses after being confused. He sensed the murderous aura in the valley, which made him feel uncomfortable. Warnings of danger came like needles, and he was filled with fear.

Just a little!
If Zhong Shenxiu hadn't reminded it, it would have almost stepped into this place!
It turned around with a look of relief, feeling convinced.

"Military Advisor Zhong is truly a genius. He was able to predict in advance that Xuanwu would reject the corpse. He is truly a genius!"

Lin Shan and Young Master Jiuyou were also stunned. They didn't expect Zhong Shenxiu to be so powerful. When he called for the Kuihu Demon King to stop, could it be that the aura of luck was exerting its power, giving a warning in the dark?

Is it true that a person who is blessed with great fortune is so evil?
The Yuanlu Demon King in the valley was horrified. He heard the conversation on the hillside outside the valley from afar. His heart was like a bottle of sauce had been overturned, with mixed feelings.

It had no idea where the old demon king Kuihu had invited such a human think tank from, who could actually see through its ambush at a glance.

The Yuanlu demon king shouted from afar:

"Who are you? Why can you recognize the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting terrain?"

Before Zhong Shenxiu could answer, the demon king Kuihu spoke for him.

“Hahahahahahaha, this is my newly recruited military advisor, the genius of the White Deer Academy of the human race, Zhong Shenxiu!”

"Mr. Zhong is well-versed in history and the present, has a wide range of knowledge, has read a lot of books, and is a great talent of the time!"

"Your little trick has long been seen through by my military advisor!"

……

The Yuanlu Demon King’s eyes almost popped out.

"Old Kuihu, isn't your military advisor Mr. Bei? When did you change him?"

The Kuihu Demon King was so proud that the tiger tail behind him began to sway.

"This king is eager to seek talents and know how to assign them to the right positions. When I meet a great talent, I will naturally entrust him with important tasks. Yuanlu, you will never understand this king's heart!"

The Yuanlu Demon King was extremely jealous. He had always envied the Kuihu Demon King because he had Mr. Bei by his side. Mr. Bei was an experienced demon who was reliable and did everything in an orderly and steady manner.

If it weren’t for Mr. Bei, the Kuihu Demon King would have been overthrown by it long ago!
How could I wait until now?

However, things did not always go as planned. Not only was old Kuihu extremely lucky, he even got a new think tank. He immediately realized that all his efforts over the years were simply adding fuel to the fire!
"Old Kuihu, Bailu Academy is a major force in the human race. How did you get in touch with it?"

The Kuihu Demon King was now even more proud and laughed continuously with a cocky attitude.

“Although Military Advisor Zhong was born in the White Deer Academy, he is related to my good friend, the Ming Snake Demon King. He happened to pass by the forbidden area of ​​the cliff and lent me a hand!”

"Yuanlu boy, this is the truth that those who are in the right path will have many supporters, while those who are in the wrong path will have few supporters."

"I have dominated the forbidden land for so long and have a wide range of friends. How can you compare with my connections among the demons?"

……

The Ming Snake Demon King, who was pretending to be an old servant in the team, had a strange look on his face. I don't think I'm that close to you, am I? He really knows how to flatter himself.
However, its cultivation is far from recovered now, so it naturally lets it go.

When the Yuanlu Demon King heard that the Kuihu Demon King actually had external help, he felt very upset.

It had also gone out to seek external help, but the herbivorous demon kings in the Star-Swallowing Mountains were all afraid of causing trouble and were jealous of its true spiritual bloodline, so few of them were willing to make friends.

However, seeing that the Kuihu Demon King had gained another military advisor, the Yuanlu Demon King was still unwilling to give in, and actually started to poach the Demon King in person, and loudly advised this side.

"Mr. Zhong, the human genius opposite, is from the White Deer Academy, so he must be a righteous and reasonable person."

"Old Kuihu is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. He often goes on spring patrols and autumn hunts to kill my people. All tribes have suffered from him for a long time. Why are you helping him to do evil?"

"I, Yuanlu, raised an army to rebel in order to restore order to the forbidden southern land, drive out the tyrant, and enjoy eternal peace. This is my lifelong ambition!"

"Sir, if you can give up your evil ways and join my army today, I will treat you as a king!"

……

"King's appearance?"

Now not only the Kuihu Demon King was shocked, but all the demon soldiers under the Yuanlu Demon King were also whispering.

Wang Xiang, the prime minister of the demon king, is a very powerful position among the demons.

Even Mr. Lian Bei doesn't have this treatment.

It can be seen how eager the Yuanlu Demon King is to seek talented people.

Zhong Shenxiu was ready to make a move, but he didn't dare to show any abnormal expression on the surface. After all, the Demon King Kuihu was right beside him, so how could he dare to act like a traitor?

If the Yuanlu Demon King had offered his conditions earlier, his three brothers might have really joined the Yuanlu Demon King in order to enter Hongya Cave. But now that they have joined the camp of the Kuihu Demon King, they are fickle and will surely die a miserable death!
The key point is that the Yuanlu Demon King also knows that it is impossible to turn against him now, and he is just using a strategy of sowing discord. Zhong Shenxiu will naturally not be fooled.

He bowed politely:

"Thank you for your kindness, Yuanlu Monster King. I am deeply grateful. Hunting among natural enemies is a natural law. It is not the fault of Kuihu Monster King. Moreover, it is often said that a loyal minister should not serve two masters. Please forgive me for not being able to obey your order!"

The Kuihu Demon King felt relieved, raised his tiger paw and patted his shoulder, then curled his lips at the Yuanlu Demon King with contempt.

"Yuanlu boy, don't worry about it! Military Advisor Zhong brought the letter of recommendation from the Ming Snake Demon King to help me get rid of you. How could he possibly surrender to you? Forget about it!"

The implication is that the road is blocked.

Tell the Yuanlu Demon King that Zhong Shenxiu is the Mingshe Demon King's man, and he is here specifically to help me deal with you. Don't think about poaching him.

Zhong Shenxiu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this was not good. When he heard that the Yuanlu Demon King had extended an olive branch, he was thinking of finding a time to secretly abandon Lin Shan and Young Master Jiuyou and go to the opposite camp and enter Hongya Cave first.

I didn't expect that the Demon King Kuihu would actually block his own retreat!

After hearing this, the Yuanlu Demon King's face darkened. He looked at Zhong Shenxiu unkindly a few more times and had no choice but to give up.

But it still looked over provocatively:

"Old Kuihu, there is no point in saying more. I am standing right here today. Come over here if you have the guts!"

The demon king Kuihu is not stupid and is not interested in provocation.

"Yuanlu, since I know how dangerous this place is, I will definitely not fight you in the battle formation, so just put away your little tricks!"

Lin Shan and the other two looked at each other, knowing that the plan seemed to be successful for now. They could just hold out for the time being and delay the situation, trapping the Yuanlu Demon King outside the formation and making it difficult for him to back down, while waiting for good news from Mr. Bei.

When the demon king Kuihu saw how the situation was developing, he naturally acted according to the plan as he had discussed in the camp.

He was just about to order his monsters to set up camp on the hillside.

The Yuanlu Demon King on the opposite side suddenly smiled coldly:
"Kui Hu, now that you've come here, do you really think you can get away with it? I've been preparing for this day for so long, how could I not have a backup plan?"

"The Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Land is a place I specially chose for you to bury your bones. If you don't have a taste of it today, how can you be worthy of every day and night that I have planned for so many years?"

"The great battle formation, start!"

Before they could react, a bright light blinded them.

There were earthquakes one after another under my feet, countless pieces of gravel and dust flew everywhere, and deafening roars continued.

A large blue formation flashed out behind them, enveloping them all, covering the inside and outside of the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Land. The clear sky disappeared in an instant, the night fell, the stars were rolling, and countless stars were hanging in the sky to embellish it.

The Tan Lang and Qi Sha in the void outside the sky light up one by one, forming a mysterious pattern.

The monsters felt dizzy and the world was spinning around them.

next moment.

I have been teleported into the valley and am standing in the basin.

They didn't have time to get angry.

The Yuanlu Demon King had long disappeared, and what came into view were four purple tornadoes reaching into the sky, howling towards them with fierce wind pressure.
