Immortal Road.

Chapter 302: The Emperor and His Ministers Betray
Mr. Bei pointed at the three people and made a bitter appeal to the Kuihu Demon King.

"My lord, haven't you noticed yet? Since these three people surrendered, they have been instigating surprise attacks, and their target has always been Hongya Cave. You are just a pawn used by them!"

The Kuihu Demon King frowned.

"Sir, you are exaggerating. The three military advisors have helped me a lot. If it weren't for them, I would have been killed in Xuanwu's corpse-rejecting place. If it weren't for them, how could the Yuanlu Monster King have been defeated in Jingqilin?"

Zhong Shenxiu couldn't bear it anymore. He found that he had sympathized with Mr. Bei before, but now he thought he was too naive.

"Since my three brothers joined the king's camp, we have always made plans before taking action and have assisted him wholeheartedly without any slackness. On the contrary, you delayed military orders, lost troops, framed and shifted the blame. How can you be the first to complain?"

Mr. Bei was so angry that his nose almost got crooked when he heard this.

The bad guy complains first?
Doesn’t it hurt if you touch your conscience?
“Zhong Shenxiu, I thought you were from the White Deer Academy and I thought highly of you, but I didn’t expect you to be so hypocritical. You are unworthy of being a Confucian disciple!”

Zhong Shenxiu sneered. This old wolf has become stupid from reading too much. Could a wolf demon really be brainwashed by Confucian classics?
The Confucianists in Lu State are nothing more than cultivators who are disguised as Confucianists and use spiritual stones and elixirs. They focus on having clear thoughts and a smooth heart in everything.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness follow the will of Heaven and the wishes of the people. They are in the heart and are not bound by form.

This is the purpose of the "Harmony between Heaven and Man" school.

"As long as I do things with a clear conscience, I don't need you to teach me. You are not worthy!"

"you"

Mr. Bei saw that this guy was as tough as a dead pig and was unable to do anything to him, so he had to turn around and point at Young Master Jiuyou.

"Wei Wuya, if I am not mistaken, you had both magic skills and magic treasures that day, so you must be a demon. What is your intention in coming to our demon clan?"

The magic power of the young master Jiuyou had already been exposed in the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area and Jing Qilin, so he did not hide it at this time, but admitted it openly.

"So what if I'm a demon? To you demons, what's the difference between good and evil? It's just a name for a sect or a camp among humans. Why make a fuss?"

Mr. Bei only reads books on the orthodox path, so naturally he has a tinted eye for those who belong to the evil path.

"The people of the demonic sect are unforgivable, cruel and tyrannical. They kill people and destroy cities and countries at will. Scum like you should just go and cause trouble for the human race. The demon race does not welcome you!"

Young Master Jiuyou looked nonchalant:

"Whether you welcome me or not has nothing to do with whether I assist the king or not. The three of us brothers were entrusted by the Ming Snake Demon King to help the king regain his hegemony. You have repeatedly obstructed us. I think you just can't bear to see the king change, right?"

"I"

Mr. Bei's throat was choked again, and he found that he could not win the argument with this kid at all, so he had no choice but to point the finger at Lin Shan.

"Mr. Lin, that day I saw you raising evil spirits, wantonly indulging them to suck the flesh and blood of living beings and enslave their souls. I didn't expect that you were an evil cultivator! Evil cultivators are the public enemy of all flesh and blood living beings. Did you sneak into the king's camp to fish in troubled waters during the war between the two armies so that you could secretly raise evil spirits?"

"!!!"

Lin Shan was stunned.

He was stunned not because Mr. Bei said he was an evil cultivator, but because Mr. Bei directly enlightened him and provided him with an idea that he had always ignored.

When two armies are at war, can evil spirits be nurtured?
Wonderful!

Why didn’t I think of that???

The reason is that the three evil spirit brothers are too weak, at the bottom of the Jindan stage, so there is not much point in training them carefully. Lin Shan basically has no use for them, so he forgets about them from time to time.

Besides, it’s okay to use it occasionally in the forbidden area now, but if I return to the human race in the future, I can’t use it indiscriminately, otherwise I will be labeled as an evil cultivator, which may bring me big trouble.

But now thinking back, these three guys were still somewhat useful when dealing with the guinea pig demon general. Anyway, the battle between the two armies is in full swing, so it would be good to increase my own strength a little bit.

Thinking of this, Lin Shan couldn't help but nodded to Mr. Bei, with gratitude on his face.

"No, you."

Mr. Bei found that Lin Shan also had an unyielding attitude, so he turned to look at the Demon King Kuihu, but the latter just waved his hand impatiently.

"It doesn't matter where a hero comes from, or what the three military advisors' backgrounds are. I don't care. Only the talented can dominate the world. Mr. Bei, why bother with these details? Let's discuss the important business first."

"But, my king, what if they have ulterior motives and want to use your power to achieve their own goals, but don't care about your hegemony at all? Think about it, if we use all our strength to attack Hongya Cave now, even if we take it, how many demon tribe members will our army lose? Your Majesty will definitely be seriously injured, and the loss will outweigh the gain! Anyway, I have the advantage, so it's better to play it safe!"

Mr. Bei is sincere and genuine, and he truly cares about the demon king Kuihu.

At this time, the Demon King Kuihu suddenly realized that having too many military advisors was not a good thing, as it could easily cause people to become entangled.

In the past, there was only Mr. Wolf, and you would just listen to whatever he said and do it if it made sense. But now you are in a dilemma.

Lin Shan and the other two knew that they couldn't give the Kuihu Demon King time to think. They had to cut the Gordian knot and urge it to advance. If they missed this opportunity, they would miss it forever.

"My king, the opportunity is fleeting. Do not hesitate. Please send troops immediately!"

"Now or never!"

"We are loyal to the king and have no second thoughts. We only care about the king's hegemony!"

"Hahaha, loyalty? Are you worthy of talking about loyalty?"

Mr. Bei sneered and pointed at Lin Shan.

"Master Lin, if you are truly loyal to the king, why not offer your three evil spirits to the king as his personal henchmen? Do you dare to prove it?"

Mr. Bei had a preconceived idea that Lin Shan was an evil cultivator, who would certainly regard the evil spirit as his life and would never hand it over, so he just said it casually.

But he didn't expect that Lin Shan was not an evil cultivator at all, and he really had no obsession with evil spirits. He agreed without saying a word, so decisively!
"Okay! To show my loyalty to the king, I am willing to offer my three evil spirits to the king and serve him as his accomplice!"

To be an accomplice to the tiger means that some tiger monsters will be born with their own accomplice space after their bloodline is awakened. They will collect spiritual lives and enslave them as their accomplices, and go out to find food and fight for them.

When it reaches the level of the Kuihu Demon King, it should have the space of ghosts. This is a racial talent, but it has never been seen used.

Mr. Bei was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Lin Shan to be so straightforward. The evil spirit said he would give it away? And he gave it all away?
Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou had seen some of Lin Shan's background, so they were not surprised by this.

"Snapped!"

The spirit beast bag was slapped and three balls of black mist emerged from it. The evil spirits "Mang", "Guo" and "Ru" were pulled out by Lin Shan nervously. The spirits kept twisting and turning, showing their uneasiness.

Lin Shan deliberately left the conversation outside open so that they could hear it. If they hadn't heard it, they wouldn't have known. When they heard it, they were shocked.

Become an accomplice of the demon king Kuihu?

Wouldn’t that mean lifelong slavery and loss of freedom?

Compared to now, Lin Shan only controls their evil pills, and there is still a chance to regain freedom in the future. But if he becomes the ghost of Kuihu Demon King, he will be a soul slave in this life and will never be able to turn over!
"Mr. Gongzi."

The three evil spirit brothers looked at Lin Shan pitifully, with pleading in their eyes almost overflowing. They were really afraid of being accomplices of ghosts!
Lin Shan stroked them gently with reluctance on his face. He didn't expect that he would have to hand over three younger brothers he had just recruited. However, for the sake of the Lu Yu Stalactite and the Jindan stage, this price was nothing!
The Kuihu Demon King was slightly moved. Seeing that Lin Shan was actually determined to contribute the evil spirit without saying a word, he could not help but shake his head and wave his hands.

"Military Advisor Lin, why do you have to do this? Although I have the ability to control ghosts, I will never steal someone's love. I already know your loyalty."

Mr. Bei stared at Lin Shan suspiciously. He always felt that a person who dared to give up the present must have greater ambitions. "My lord, since Master Lin is so kind, why don't you accept it?"

Mr. Bei is now having a dispute over ideas with Lin Shan and the other two. He advocates steady and cautious progress, while these three are adventurous and radical, so it can be said that a natural confrontation is inevitable, and the opportunity to weaken the opponent should not be missed.

However, the demon king Kuihu looked embarrassed.

Behind the throne, a gray portal appeared. Ripples spread and the portal opened wide. A shadowy figure of a woman with a tiger's head and a human body walked out. She glanced at Mr. Bei with cold eyes, and almost crushed him with just one look!
"Om~"

Ripples vibrated in the void.

A huge soul power spread throughout the area, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage was overwhelming the king's tent. All the demon generals were like small boats in the stormy waves, swaying unsteadily, and their temples were throbbing!
A ghost in the Nascent Soul stage!
There is such a master behind the Demon King Kuihu!

And from the looks of it, it seems to be a demon clan, the Kuihu clan.
"Why did you come out? Have you forgiven me?"

The demon king Kuihu had a look of surprise on his face, his voice was trembling, and he was so excited that he was incoherent. He was so cautious, as if he had seen his lover.

However, the female ghost did not answer, but just said coldly, her voice indifferent and murderous:
"If you dare to let other spirits come in and disturb me, I will die in front of you!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the portal. Gray ripples floated by, the void returned to calm, and everything disappeared.

Mr. Bei was sweating profusely. He had followed the demon king Kuihu for so many years, but he never knew that the king actually had a confidante! No wonder he didn't use his racial talent, but used it to keep a beautiful woman in his golden house!

Lin Shan and the three evil spirit brothers were also scared to death. This Kuihu Demon King carried a Yuanying period ghost with him and hid it very deeply. It turned out that he was not an easy person to become the overlord of the forbidden area.

Mr. Bei didn't dare to speak now. He didn't expect that he stroked the tiger's whiskers, which turned out to be the whiskers of a tigress.
The expression on the face of the Kuihu Demon King was complicated, changing constantly from excitement, surprise, to loneliness, regret, and guilt.

After a long time, it put aside its past thoughts and forced a smile at the people below the tent.

"Military Advisor Lin, please put away your evil spirit. After all, you have saved my life. I already know that you are loyal."

Lin Shan took it back as ordered. The three evil spirit brothers breathed a sigh of relief and fled back to the spirit beast bag as if escaping for their lives. They felt that it was safer to stay with the sapling of the ancient phantom tree.

However, even though the matter was over, Lin Shan did not give up. He had originally thought that if Mr. Bei would be quiet, he would let him go, but he did not expect that he would give him face?

In this case, you're welcome!
"Your Majesty, as the ancients said, be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and your great cause will prosper. After so many days of analysis and calculation, I have found that there is actually another reason why Your Majesty has repeatedly failed to kill the Yuanlu Demon King in the past two hundred years."

"Oh? Military Advisor Lin, tell me quickly, what's the reason?"

The demon king Kuihu was originally still feeling sad and melancholy, but as a man, love is definitely not as important as fame and career, and he was suddenly brought back to reality by Lin Shan.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Yuanlu Demon King rose from the grassroots. He was able to grow step by step from humble beginnings and compete with you, Your Majesty. This was all due to the contribution of one person, that is..."

"Mr. Wolf!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the monsters turned their attention to Mr. Bei, who was standing next to the map with a confused look on his face.

Mr. Bei shouted in shock and anger: "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?"

Lin Shan smiled gently and took out a letter from his arms.

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou's eyes lit up. Are they finally going to fall out?
They have been unhappy with that old guy for a long time!

The Ming Snake Demon King had been keeping a low profile, but at this moment he couldn't help but take a few more glances at this guy, wondering what the hell this guy was up to.

After seeing the letter, Mr. Bei's face changed instantly and he pointed at him in disbelief.

"How could you? How did this letter end up in your hands?"

When the demon generals heard this, they immediately realized that something was wrong, and the expression of the Demon King Kuihu also became unusually serious.

Lin Shan did not answer it, but read it out in public, with ups and downs and rich emotions in his voice.

[Letter from the Yuanlu Demon King]

[Thank you for your concern, I am very grateful. I wonder how the demon king is doing these days.]

[Bei Kuan happened to be in the darkest moment of his life as a demon. He was humiliated and wronged. He was lying injured at the table and could not drink and chat happily with the demon king.]

[After hearing the king's words of enlightenment, my heart is open and all my resentment is gone. I have no regrets even if I die for a monster who has found a true friend.]

[Thank you for your invitation, my king. Although the Kuihu demon king is unkind, I cannot be unjust.]

[If there is a good time in the future, I would like to drink with the king under the moon, play chess and discuss battle strategies, which would be a great pleasure for a demon.]

【Respectfully submitted by Bei Kuan】

"Click~"

The Kuihu Demon King crushed the chopping board directly, and all the scrolls, orders, military badges, and letters were scattered all over the floor.

All the demon generals were shocked, as if they had not expected to encounter such explosive news. It was like an earthquake!
"Send it up!"

At this point, the Demon King Kuihu still couldn't believe it and wanted to read the letter himself.

Lin Shan did not dare to delay and quickly handed it over with both hands.

The Kuihu Demon King took it and looked at it for just a moment.

"Keng~"

He immediately turned around, drew out the golden sword with dragon pattern, and pointed it directly at Mr. Bei!
"Bai Kuan! This king has always treated you well, and you said bad things behind my back, and you even dared to have an affair with the Yuan Deer Monster King. No wonder the little deer monster has become more and more courageous in the past two hundred years. It turns out that you have been helping him behind the scenes!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

"You really are my good military advisor!"

The mood of the Kuihu Demon King at this time was completely indescribable. It felt that it had suffered a huge betrayal. It turned out that the confidant it once trusted the most was actually the undercover Lao Liu all along!

Then it all makes sense, the rise of the Yuanlu Demon King, the delayed attack from both sides, and the steady and cautious approach. These are all excuses!

Because they have a close personal relationship, they play themselves around like monkeys!
"Pfft!"

Mr. Bei burst into tears and knelt down for a long time without getting up.

"Your Majesty, I have assisted you for so many years and I am truly loyal and dedicated. I have no second thoughts! Our personal relationship is our personal relationship and it will never rise to the level of a faction. I can show you my heart!"

The Kuihu Demon King looked indifferent.

"In that case, I will grant your wish!"
