Immortal Road.

Chapter 314: Reincarnation of the Stars, Words Come True

The Xuanwu reinforcements went through many hardships and were tortured along the way until they were exhausted.

After finally escaping from the area surrounding the meteorite crater, those annoying monster habitats were finally gone, and we could continue on our journey in peace.

The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

The sound of heavy horse hooves echoed on the road, and the terrain ahead became increasingly complex.

On his way back, Zhu Duiyou saw the dense trees and steep mountains in this place, and suddenly he laughed out loud for no reason on his horse.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Dai Budong, Zi Yang and other demon generals were already on edge, and were almost frightened off their horses by his sudden startle. They all looked at him in confusion.

"Brother Zhu, why are you laughing?"

Zhu Duiyou's face was flushed, his wisdom was hidden deep inside, he shook his head in disdain, and waved his whip around:

"I am not laughing at others, I am only laughing at the fact that there is no one under the command of the Kuihu Demon King. This place is clearly a dangerous and steep place. If I were to use my troops, I would set up an ambush here in advance. I don't need many, seven troops and horses are enough. No matter who passes by here, even if we escape with our lives, we will be seriously injured."

"I didn't see this at the time, I just laughed it off!"

All the monsters looked at each other in confusion.

However, the words are not yet finished.

Suddenly, there were loud drum sounds from both sides and flames shot up into the sky, scaring Zhu Duiyou so much that he almost fell off his horse!

A team suddenly appeared from the side, with seven large flags flying high. They were indeed seven armies!

Lin Shan led his troops to charge out, followed by three Jindan-stage cave masters, who were ready and prepared to set an ambush.

"Brother Dai, Brother Zhu, long time no see! I have been waiting here for a long time!"

Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou were horrified. In the darkness and the light of the fire, they saw this familiar face and their jaws dropped!

"Wanliu Academy, Bu Peiying?!"

During the battle at the Demon Sect headquarters, the two of them were fooled by this young man one after another in the Confucian army. They were deeply impressed by him, and his voice, appearance and smile had long been imprinted in their bones.

But when he thought about the time when he went to Wangyue City to investigate the death of the Jindan Zhenren in the clan and the true and false Xiongshan Shangren, he suddenly realized it.

"No, you are the president of the Lin's Chamber of Commerce in Wangyue City, Lin Shan!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Lin Shan laughed heartily, gave orders to his men, and led his troops into the battle without hesitation.

"Your information is outdated! I am no longer the old Amon of Wu. You two stray dogs dare to go against me. Go to hell and be reincarnated!"

A blue flying sword suddenly appeared, and the magical power of the magic weapon brought up circles of water ripples, drawing blue halos in the dark night, as fast as lightning.

"Oh!"

Ziyang stood out to block at the critical moment. It was impossible for it to sit idly by and watch the two men being killed. After all, they were the new military advisors of the Yuanlu Demon King. Their bodies were so weak that they could not withstand the attack of the magic weapon.

Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou knew that the situation was critical, so they did not bother with sentimental remarks and immediately led their troops to wait for an opportunity to break out.

Lin Shan was stopped by Ziyang and felt pressured instantly.

This is the trusted general of the Yuanlu Demon King, a terrifying demon who is at the peak of the late Jindan stage!
When the real body appeared, it was more than three meters long, which means it was ten meters high!
The purple hair has a gorgeous luster, the goat's horns are curved backwards, about eight feet long, sharp and hard, with several small whirlwinds surrounding the tip of the horns, the goat's hooves are covered with a carbon black cuticle, and it leaves a trail of purple afterimages behind it as it runs.

If it weren’t for the Wind Escape Talisman, I wouldn’t be able to escape!
Fortunately, when he came, the Demon King Kuihu gave him seven troops, enough for three caves.

Three Jindan-stage demon generals came up to help from behind, and they barely held off Ziyang with four against one. However, the fight was extremely dangerous. They were even more powerful than the late Jindan-stage Puchang Zhenren!

This was normal, Puchang Zhenren was doing quite well in the late stage of Jindan, and his time was up. All his skills were in illusion, not to mention that he had two powerful allies, Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou, by his side at that time.

Now with these three cave masters, Lin Shan didn’t dare to expect them to have any magical powers to protect the sect. Without someone to help him restrain them, it was completely unrealistic to kill a strong man like Zi Yang.

It’s good enough if we can just barely resist!
Fortunately, he didn't need to worry too much, as General Xiong led the Flying Tigers to follow all the way and arrived at the battlefield in time.

"Roar!"

General Xiong relaxed his restraint and in an instant he grew to several feet tall. His body was huge and strong, with thick limbs, bulging muscles, and thick hair as thick as iron, a deep black-brown color.

As it ran, the entire forest was shaking as if the earth was shaking.

Zi Yang and it are old rivals, and the two fought together and were evenly matched.

Lin Shan and the three cave masters assisted from the side. Zi Yang was eager to return home and had no desire to fight. He waited until Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou led his troops to run away before he escaped from the battlefield.

Because of the pincer attack and ambush by the Flying Tigers and Lin Shan, the Xuanwu reinforcements suffered heavy losses again.

There were constant wailings from below, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.

Lin Shan released the three evil spirit brothers and let them enjoy the feast.

Feeding evil spirits requires a huge amount of blood, flesh and essence. How can we see so much in our daily lives?

What's more, these casualties were all demons. The energy and blood of demons were far superior to those of humans, so the three evil spirits had a great time eating them up.

General Xiong instinctively felt a little disgusted. He had no good feelings towards creatures like evil spirits, as long as they were flesh and blood creatures. However, when he saw that they followed Lin Shan's instructions and only devoured the enemy monsters and did not touch the corpses of their own camp, he turned a blind eye.

After cleaning up the battlefield a little, they led their troops to continue the pursuit.

……

"Huff, huff."

Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou fled, panting heavily, and the troops under their command were wounded and exhausted.

The sky was slightly bright, dark clouds covered the ground, and the northwest wind was howling continuously, and I felt a chill coming over me.

Suddenly, heavy rain came, soaking my clothes.

In order to save spiritual energy and demonic power, no one deliberately consumed themselves to block the rain.

The road was muddy and the reinforcements marched in the rain.

As we walked forward, we came to a fork in the road.

One is a straight road, the other is a narrow path.

Comparing the maps, both lead directly to the north.

Dai Budong decided to take a small road for the sake of caution. The main road was not easy to hide and there was a high possibility of being surrounded by the army. The small road was winding and hidden, and could be used to break up into small pieces at a critical moment.

As the water splashed, they didn't bother to clear the mud traces and just rushed forward.

When we reached a terrain that was shaped like a gourd's mouth, the rain slowly stopped.

The reinforcements were tortured mentally and physically along the way, and were tired and hungry. Dai Budong had to order them to rest on the spot and take out food and fodder for the army.

The demon race still needs to eat before they reach the Golden Core stage.

Only after condensing the demon pill can one use this pearl to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to practice. Before that, most people still rely on eating a lot to maintain their lives. After all, the cultivation systems of the demon race and the human race are slightly different, and there is no such thing as fasting.

Just as the army took off their wet clothes and hung them out to dry.

Zhu Duiyou sat under the sparse trees and laughed out loud again.

This attracted the attention of many monsters.

Dai Budong's mouth twitched, "Just now, Brother Zhu laughed at the fact that there was no one under the command of the Kuihu Demon King, which led to the Wanliu Academy. Lin Shan from the Lin's Chamber of Commerce came and lost many soldiers. Why are you laughing again now?"

Zhu Duiyou wore a silk scarf on his head and gently waved a goose feather fan, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"Lin Shan is fine, he is the only one who knows military affairs under the command of the Kuihu Demon King. I laugh at Zhong Shenxiu's lack of strategy and Wei Wuya's lack of wisdom. If it were me, I would also ambush a group of soldiers here. We don't need many, just seven. We will wait for them to tire themselves out. We will be skinned alive if we don't die!"

"I didn't see this at the time, I just laughed it off!"

As they were talking, the troops in front and behind started shouting together.

The two were so frightened that they threw away their armor and mounted their horses without even bothering to dress. Most of the monsters were still eating, and they looked around in panic. They found that fireworks were everywhere, and flags were flying at the mountain pass. Zhong Shenxiu and his troops had been waiting for a long time.

No more, no less, exactly seven armies!
"I am Zhong Shenxiu from Bailu Academy, nice to meet you two Taoist brothers!"

Dai Budong’s face turned green when he saw this!

This Zhu Duiyou is really good at deceiving people. What a jinx he has!

Even though the monsters were the elite under the Yuanlu Monster King, they were not in good shape and were all frightened.

Zhong Shenxiu waved his sleeves and a white light suddenly appeared. It was his most handy treasure, Taiyuan Guizang Qi!
The two of them didn't have time to react at all. The gap between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage was simply too huge!
At this moment, a long howl came from far away.

The purple sheep's four hooves were flying in the wind, and a series of purple afterimages continued. At the critical moment, it arrived from behind, pulled out the horns on its head and threw them over, blocking Zhong Shenxiu's fatal blow.

"Dang~~~"

An echo was heard at the mountain pass, attracting the attention of both groups.

Zhong Shenxiu did not dare to be negligent. He and the three cave masters behind him stood up to greet him and work together to deal with Ziyang.

Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou hurriedly led their troops to flee and charged towards the Yamaguchi army formation.

After a fierce battle, they suffered heavy casualties and just managed to escape when Lin Shan and General Xiong arrived from the rear.

Zi Yang was originally beating Zhong Shenxiu with four people, but when he saw General Xiong and Lin Shan arriving from behind, he did not dare to fight and withdrew.

I have to say that this monster is really powerful, worthy of being a general under the command of the Yuanlu Monster King. It comes and goes like the wind and is at ease. I am afraid that few people below the Nascent Soul stage can control it.

……

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

"Pfft~"

Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou were so tired that they were out of breath, and even the wildebeests under them were snorting and roaming.

Fortunately, the herbivorous monsters are naturally enduring and are far better than the opposing camp in terms of escape.

As the pursuers got farther and farther away, until they disappeared, they looked back and saw that most of the reinforcements had been killed and all of them were injured.

At noon, the scorching heat arrived.

There was another fork in the road ahead, with two roads, one large and one small, with lush forests on both sides and hills in the distance.

The two of them climbed to a high place and looked into the distance.

I saw that the main road was flat and there was nothing unusual. In the distance on the side of the mountain, there seemed to be some flags waving, but they were vague and could not be seen clearly.

Zhu Duiyou decided to take the small road.

Dai Budong was very puzzled: "Brother Zhu, there may be flags on the side road, maybe there are ambushes, why don't you take the main road?"

Zhu Duiyou was wearing a crane cloak, with wisdom shining in his eyes.

"Brother Dai, haven't you heard the military book saying, 'Make the weak strong and make the strong weak.'"

"Kuihu Demon King doesn't have many soldiers under his command. He has to attack Hongya Cave and block our Xuanwu reinforcements. His troops are definitely stretched. Three waves of troops have been exposed in front, so the remaining troops are only enough for an ambush at most!"

"And the three military advisors under his command were insidious and cunning. In order to accurately bet on the 50% probability, they deliberately planted flags in the wild mountains and ridges to mislead our army and not dare to take the mountain paths. They ambushed them on the main road and waited for us to take advantage of the opportunity."

"I had expected this, but he didn't plan to do it!"

Dai Budong and a group of Dai family members behind him suddenly realized what was going on and began to praise him.

"Brother Zhu's calculations are ingenious, no one can match him."

Those demon soldiers didn't understand the twists and turns here, and with their brains they could only follow Zhu Duiyou. The demon general Lili and the personal guards of the demon king Yuanlu were still guarding them closely, and they just had to follow orders.

The two men then reined in their soldiers and horses and headed towards the small path.

At this moment, the soldiers under his command were in disarray. They had not eaten or drunk enough when they were interrupted. Now, they were starving and exhausted.

There had just been a heavy rain in the middle of the trip, and the roads were muddy. In order to reduce the load, we had to throw away a lot of stuff.

Now only one out of ten of their weapons and flags remain, and they look like a lost dog. How can they still be an elite army?
The path went on for hundreds of miles and there was a deep valley ahead. It was deep and quiet, and the army followed the path correctly.

Unexpectedly, the journey was safe and smooth.

We are about to get out of the canyon.

Zhu Duiyou laughed out loud again.

“Hahahaha, um.”

Dai Budong and a group of Dai family members hurriedly wanted to step forward to cover his mouth, but they were one step too late!
hateful
He still made me laugh!
Everyone's hands and feet were cold and their faces were pale.

Youdao is that once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

The past ten years or so in the Chenyuan Valley, a forbidden area on the cliff, have made them gradually forget the fear they once felt when being dominated by Zhu Duiyou, which has prevented them from recovering for a while.

But the series of events just now have made them realize that the former Zhu Duiyou is back!

"Brother Zhu Zhu, why did you laugh just now?"

Dai Budong's voice was trembling. Seeing that he was about to reach the exit of the canyon, he was a little afraid to move forward.

The Dai family members behind him were so nervous that their palms and backs of their hands were covered in sweat.

Even the demon soldiers felt something was not right. They always felt that this military advisor was unreliable. Could it be that he was really as unlucky as his name suggested, causing him bad luck wherever he went?
Zhu Duiyou was still unaware and felt very proud of himself.

He waved his whip and pointed at the cracks in the canyons around him, facing the narrow skylight, pointing at the mountains and rivers, looking very arrogant.

"The Yuanlu Monster King and Mr. Bei once said that Lin Shan, Zhong Shenxiu, and Wei Wuya were resourceful. In my opinion, they are incompetent. If we set an ambush here, we don't need many, just seven brigades, and we will all be captured!"

Before he could finish his words, a cannon rang out.

The ambushers on both sides were all deployed, and the leader was dressed in black and holding a folding fan, looking very elegant. It was none other than Wei Wuya, the young master of Jiuyou!

After counting the number carefully, it was indeed the 7th Brigade, not a single word was wrong!
"I am Wei Wuya, the chief priest under the command of the Kuihu Demon King. Nice to meet you two Taoist brothers."

The young master of Jiuyou greeted him from a distance and smiled.

I couldn't wear it and had a sad face. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

I really can't carry you!

WTF!

You are not the reincarnation of a jinx!
It's nothing but cheating!

……

Ok?
wrong
Dai Budong thought about the past when he and Zhu Duiyou grew up together, and suddenly found that his guess was possible.

Zhu Duiyou is born with extraordinary intelligence. Although he comes from a poor family, he has no resources and no famous teachers. He is idle and unlearned all day long. However, he is able to buck the trend and get admitted into a top university. How else can it be explained except that he is the reincarnation of a star from his previous life?

Not only does he always betray his teammates, but his words often come true, so people say he is a crow's mouth. But is there any difference between him and a jinx?

The key point is that every time after he was done, there seemed to be some kind of blessing from the unknown, and there was always a glimmer of hope for him to escape, as if fate was secretly protecting him. This was really strange.
However, in fact, he didn't have the chance to think too much. The young master Jiuyou on the opposite side acted decisively. The folding fan in his hand flew directly towards him. Several bamboo sticks of the fan bones had turned into sharp blades, carrying a sonic boom that could tear the wind apart. It was obviously an extraordinary magic weapon!
"My life is over!"

Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou sighed inwardly and closed their eyes, waiting to die.

"Snapped!"

A purple goat horn came shooting out at him, so fast that it was hard to keep up with.

The fire brigade captain, Purple Aries, arrived as expected!

Dai Budong looked at Zhu Duiyou beside him in astonishment. Is this the reincarnation of Xingchen?
