Chapter 323 Mirror Flowers and Moon in the Water
When the two brothers join forces, it's more than just one plus one equals two.

The demon army must have more soldiers, and the coordination and formation strength will be at a higher level. This is equivalent to one-third of the troops under the command of the Kuihu Demon King. It immediately became the strongest force in the entire field, and can even compete with others!
Now everyone was unable to stand.

"You two, you have clearly each obtained a portion of the Luyu stalactite, why are you still coming here to compete with us for food? Your eating manner is really too ugly!"

"That's right, young man, don't be too greedy. Sometimes you have to quit while you're ahead, otherwise you might end up with nothing!"

"You must have heard the saying, 'A greedy snake swallows an elephant.' In the end, the mantis stalks the cicada. It's not too late to leave now, because there may be someone else behind!"

"The greedy ones are divided into gold and hate to be divided into jade, and the dukes are resentful of not being given the title of marquis. You two youngsters have really had enough!"

……

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu didn't expect that they had just arrived and hadn't said a word when they were immediately boycotted by everyone.

The Jindan True Persons criticized and cursed them, and those who didn’t know would think that they were some unforgivable criminals!
The question is, what bad things have we done?

Isn't it a matter of each person's ability when fighting for spiritual objects?
The truth is that there were two groups of people who fanned the flames before they arrived and exaggerated their deeds, which immediately aroused everyone's jealousy and resonance.

Those with higher cultivation would think that these two guys are obviously not as good as me, but they relied on the demon tribe’s soldiers to get the Reed Jade Stalactite. If this isn’t cheating, then what is it? They didn’t get it by real ability, but by scheming and taking advantage of the situation. It would be strange if they could accept it.

Those with low cultivation levels would feel that these two guys, whose cultivation levels were similar to mine, relied on their relationship with the Demon King in the forbidden area on the cliff to get the treasures that I wanted but could not get. Naturally, I would feel extremely unbalanced.

In this way, a united front was immediately formed and the two brothers were immediately isolated.

There was a steady stream of cultivators rushing over from outside the field. The number of people on the opposite side was increasing, and the number of Jindan-stage cultivators was approaching the thirty mark. The pressure on the two of them was also increasing.

They knew that they couldn't go against everyone at this time. As the saying goes, a righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few. Now the two of them have become the target of public criticism, and they can't force themselves to step forward, as that might anger everyone, and the consequence will be that the first bird to stand out will be shot.

Zhong Shenxiu came out and bowed:
"You have really misunderstood us. We have no intention of competing with you. We are just curious so we have this view. Please continue, continue, just pretend we don't exist."

The Jindan Zhenren glared at him, feeling that he was deceiving fools.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Shan quickly came out and shook his head and sighed:

"Third brother, what are you saying? It is bound to cause misunderstanding among fellow Taoists! In fact, the two of us led the troops here with the intention of maintaining order and providing a fair and just competition environment. If any Taoist brother grabs the spiritual milk, we can also help escort him away as a friendly gesture."

It would have been fine if he didn't explain, but after he said this everyone became even more annoyed.

Escort? Are you planning to rob the gang members later?
However, there were many smart people, and someone soon discovered that the two brothers were obviously delaying time, as if they were waiting for something.

As for who they are waiting for, outsiders have no idea, but these two people naturally know it clearly.

He is their nominal good brother, Young Master Jiuyou!
As long as Young Master Jiuyou can arrive in time, the three brothers will join forces. That would be a total of two thousand elite soldiers, half of the troops of the Demon King Kuihu, which would be enough to wipe out these people!
When the time comes, how to divide the reed jade stalactites here will naturally be a matter for the brothers to settle accounts and resolve internally!

Sharing it among three people is definitely better than sharing it with so many people.

The old ghost Black Dragon stepped forward in time and added fuel to the fire in a sinister tone: "Everyone, it is not a good idea for us to waste time here. Since these two guys want to fish in troubled waters here, why don't we kill them first?"

"By then, we will have two more Luyu stalactites for us to share. Isn't that wonderful?"

As he was in the late Jindan stage, his proposal was immediately supported by many masters of the magic path.

Everyone has been annoyed with these two young men for a long time. They clearly have plenty of life left, yet they insist on competing with us old guys for things. A full man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man!
Even Shang Ding Zhenren and Shi En Sanren from the Confucian school of Lu State expressed their support and echoed the idea of ​​Black Dragon Old Ghost.

Seeing that a group of Jindan Zhenren were exchanging glances frequently, they seemed to have some intentions.

The two brothers were now very anxious. They didn't want to fight with everyone before they even started the fight. This would be a complete lose-lose situation!
Zhong Shenxiu asked unkindly, "Who are you? I don't think we have ever provoked you, have we?"

The old ghost Black Dragon twisted his mouth, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, his forehead was twisted with deep wrinkles, and his tone was filled with ill intent.

"Hahahahahaha, I will never change my name or surname. I am one of the Four Evils of Jiaozhou, the Black Dragon Wanderer. Have you heard of me?"

Zhong Shenxiu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

He really had never heard of it.

The old ghost Black Dragon was furious and was about to say something when Lin Shan next to him felt that the old man looked familiar.

He asked hesitantly:

"Are you the black shadow who tried to attack me but was slapped away by my army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at them with inexplicable meaning.

The old ghost Black Dragon dug his toes on the ground in embarrassment, his scalp tingling as if he was under a scorching sun, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Master Shang Ding and Master Shi En beside him also looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect that this guy was so stubborn.

We were just instigating you to cause trouble, but you actually went up to fight against the demon army?
The old ghost Black Dragon was so angry that he jumped over the wall: "Good boy, you pissed me off!"

Just when he was in a dilemma and had no choice but to take action, a new voice came from the side.

"These two young men don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Brother Black Dragon, why should you be angry? Sharp words are only for the momentary pleasure. The one who laughs last is the winner."

A middle-aged demon walked slowly from a distance. Every step he took was precise and precise. The distance in space was compressed. He was clearly half a mile away from him the previous moment, but the next moment he was in front of him in just two or three steps.

"Shrink to the ground!"

Those with discerning eyes immediately recognized this magical power and looked at the newcomer in surprise.

The Black Dragon old ghost was not unfamiliar with this person, and even with his arrogance, he couldn't help but treat him with dignity.

"Xu Shen Mountain, Xu Jizi!"

One of the seventy-two peak masters of Xushen Mountain, the top demon sect in the Chu State. He is in the late Jindan stage, majestic and famous throughout the Chu State.

Shrinking the distance into an inch is a simplified version of the sect's signature magical power, "A World Away Within Reach". It is also a well-known and top-grade minor magical power. No matter it is for traveling or fighting, it is extremely difficult to deal with and appears and disappears unpredictably.

As soon as Xu Jizi appeared, he shocked everyone, because he was the leader of a top sect, who had been in power for many years and was in charge of the inheritance of a lineage. His status and position far exceeded that of others, and some people could not even reach him!
“If the two Lu country’s immortal geniuses died in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, I’m afraid that the old guys in the Confucian School would be sad for a long time, right?”

These words sounded arrogant, but when spoken from Xu Jizi's mouth, they had a different kind of domineering aura that made people have to believe them.

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu couldn't help but stand closer. They knew too well how powerful this kind of great sect leader was. He was the head of a lineage, and his magical powers, as well as his wealth, far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators. If they weren't careful, they would most likely be killed on the spot!

This is not over yet. After Xu Jizi appeared, another pair of masters came.

The two elders of Jingxuan.

After seeing Zhong Shenxiu, it seemed that he did not expect him to come. He already had a portion of Lu Yu Stalactite, but he was looking at the one in the bowl and wanted to eat the one in the pot?
"Zhong Tianjiao, we two old men let you go earlier for the sake of the White Deer Academy, but now you dare to fight for the spiritual milk. Are you planning to force you fellow Taoists into a dead end?"

The corners of Zhong Shenxiu's mouth felt bitter, how could he not know how difficult these two old men were? When they joined hands, they were truly in the late Jindan stage. Moreover, they used to be from the Shangyang Academy, but since they withdrew, they are now independent cultivators!
Others might be tempted by this background trick, but these two old men definitely won’t!
As the number of Jindan-stage cultivators on the field exceeded thirty, and three Jindan-stage late-stage fighters came out to support them, the Lin Shan brothers began to sweat on their foreheads, realizing that they seemed to have caused a big trouble without realizing it, and they seemed to be unable to bear the consequences of arousing public anger.

Those ordinary Jindan stage cultivators were okay, the demon army could barely resist them, but the three late Jindan stage cultivators were not something they could handle.

At the critical moment, where is the big brother? !
Where did Young Master Jiuyou go?

As the eldest brother, why do you give up at the critical moment?

They waited and waited, but nothing came. Lin Shan even suspected that the young master of Jiuyou didn't even want the spiritual treasure in his hand!

In fact, Young Master Jiuyou really can't take care of them now.

At this moment, he is leading his army in pursuit all the way northwards, following Mr. Bei relentlessly, vowing to seize his military inheritance, which is the mantle of the great military master Guiguzi.

Of course, he is not the only one who is hunting down Mr. Bei. There is also General Bear and various demon generals, who are also following the orders of the Demon King Kuihu to wipe out the remnants.

Otherwise, if the young master Jiuyou was alone, he might be killed by Mr. Bei who would react and gather the remaining soldiers to form a formation. He was just taking advantage of the situation to seek benefits for himself, just like Zhong Shenxiu of Linshan borrowing soldiers to fight for the Lu Yu stalactite.

It’s just that everyone has different goals and different paths, so naturally we can’t work together.

It is normal that the two brothers cannot wait for their eldest brother.

The atmosphere in the field gradually solidified. Xu Jizi, Heishan Laogui, and the two elders Jingxuan began to take the lead in communicating with each other. More than 30 old monsters in the Jindan stage had flickering eyes and looked up and down at the two brothers and the demon army, as if they were dividing the work to deal with whom.

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu's hair stood on end. Seeing that their elder brother would not arrive anytime soon, they decided to lead their troops and retreat first!

Just then, another group of figures arrived from a distance.

Three old men came together. They were none other than the ancestor of the Yang family, the grand elder of the Zhenyue sect, and the master of Xuchan Cave!
When Lin Shan saw this, he was instantly overjoyed and quickly raised his hand to greet him.

"Alliance leader, come to me quickly!"

The three ancestors of the Yang family looked around with puzzled expressions, as if they had just come out of isolation from the world and were completely unaware of anything.

When they saw the two young men, Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu, standing back to back, they could not help but be a little surprised. When they saw the army of six-hole demons gathered around them, they almost popped their eyes out!

What on earth did these two do in the two months since they left our sight? How did they get involved? And they kidnapped so many demon soldiers!
Were you possessed by another spirit, or did you accept the demon king as your godfather?
……

After a brief consideration, the Yang family ancestor did not hesitate and led his two old brothers towards Linshan.

Now the two brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the support of these three brothers in the late Jindan stage, they don't have to run away with their tails between their legs.

Just looking at these three people, why do they look like they have just experienced a big battle?
Moreover, their behaviors are not as close as before, and there seems to be a slight distance between them?
Lin Shan observed carefully and inadvertently noticed some details. It seemed that during the period when he left the team, some conflicts had occurred between the three brothers, which were unknown to outsiders.

However, the ancestor of the Yang family was more or less on the side of Lin Shan. After all, he was a member of the Lujiang League. The other two old brothers were also consistent when dealing with external affairs.

The ancestor of the Yang family was very happy that Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu would establish a cooperative relationship. This would be beneficial to the development of the Lujiang League in the future and would allow them to build relationships with the Bailu Academy.

However, what he didn't know was that these two people were just brothers on the surface, but at the moment they were standing on the same front, being polite to each other and talking and laughing.

Now the two sides were evenly matched again. With the three new forces of the Yang family's ancestors, Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu became bolder and stood up straight, not planning to leave.

The other side started to get anxious.

The Jindan masters of Lu State knew very well that these three were all veterans in the late Jindan stage, and they all advised them not to help the tyrant.

Shang Ding, the head of the Shang family, even pointed out that both Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu were carrying reed jade stalactites, in an attempt to alienate them.

The three ancestors of the Yang family were also surprised when they first heard it. They turned around to look at the two brothers, but after weighing the pros and cons, they decided not to move their position.

They were all people with sharp foresight and knew that as geniuses of the immortal way, these two people must have some unknown means, so it would be no problem for them to keep the Reed Jade Stalactite in their hands.

Now they have turned to the other side and after driving these two away, they will have to argue about distribution with more than 30 Jindan stage cultivators.

As for those who stayed here, Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu were only two people. Whether in terms of proportion or deterrence, they could ensure the maximization of their own interests, so the three brothers were not moved at all.

Instead, he showed disdain, saying that people like Shang Ding Zhenren and Shi En Sanren were not worthy of alienating the relationship between him and the two geniuses of the immortal way. Those people blushed on the spot and almost lost face.

Xu Jizi, Black Dragon Old Ghost, and the two elders Jing Xuan realized at this time that since they could not reach an agreement, they could only force their way out.

There are so many people here that there are not enough to share, so we might as well just take advantage of the chaos and see who gets it first. It all depends on luck!

Just when they decided to take action.

In the middle of the circle of stalactites that was surrounded by water, the underground river below suddenly splashed water, and a transparent human figure formed by the water flow condensed. The graceful figure looked like a woman.

He bypassed the blockade in a blatant manner and took advantage of the confrontation between everyone to get under the Lu Yu stalactite.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one had time to react or stop him and get the basil filled with lotion!
"stop!"

Everyone was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly, looking at the human body condensed from the water, holding a woven basket in his arms, picking flowers and the moon, as if he were a fairy Ling Xu, and all of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

When Zhong Shenxiu saw it, he blurted out: "The magical power of clones, flowers in the mirror and moon in the water!"

"You are Sailor Moon!"

"Stop her quickly!"
