Immortal Road.

Chapter 353: Dominating the ruins and forcing them to stop

The Jindan Zhenren on both the good and evil sides had no idea how serious this was. When they saw this kid foolishly shooting the newly acquired spiritual herbs at them, they were overjoyed and reached out to cast spells to capture him.

In their understanding, this is nothing more than a spiritual object from heaven and earth. Even if it has some magical powers, it has not been refined through any equipment or long-term sacrifices. It is basically an ownerless object. Isn't it the same as delivering food if they just throw it over?
They can use their magic power to intercept the spiritual herbs and take them for themselves without harming them.

However, the result was tragic.

As a divine killing herb, the Gray True Ink Divine Grass, infused with Lin Shan's enormous soul power, is comparable to a magic flying knife.

Their magic power is completely incomparable to Lin Shan's soul power. The quality of the two is not even on the same level.

A mere low-level flying sword can break the minor magical spells of Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou, not to mention the God-Slaying Flying Knife that they are using now, which cannot be stopped at all by just relying on grappling spells!

I saw that a dozen grass leaves instantly pierced their palms. Amid screams, wisps of green smoke escaped, indicating that their souls had just been injured by the Soul-Severing Flying Knife, and some of them dissipated between heaven and earth.

A group of people covered their heads and wailed in the air. Only Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu escaped.

Because they are connoisseurs and know that they should not touch this thing, otherwise they will suffer a great loss!
The soul is the most important and mysterious part of a cultivator's body. Once injured, it will be seriously injured!

It will take a lot of effort to heal afterwards, and if you are not careful, it may leave permanent trauma and damage. If it cannot be compensated in time, it will lay unspeakable consequences for the future advancement of practice.

This group of Jindan Zhenren were caught off guard and suffered such a great loss. They all had splitting headaches and were seriously injured.

Everyone was in a panic and had lost all will to fight. They just wanted to find a place to recuperate as soon as possible. They must not allow their souls to be torn apart. Even the search for the relics left by the evil demons from outer space had to be put aside!

Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu were very puzzled. It seemed that when Lin Shan picked the Gray True Ink Divine Grass before, his soul was also injured. How come he looked like nothing happened?
Others don't know that Lin Shan has an inexhaustible source of souls at hand. This is the investment given to him by the immortal book master 'Seven Arrows Book'. It is a piece of cake to use it to make up for the damage to his soul.

At this moment, the fleet from Qingyang Peak displayed their great power. Without the restraint of the Jindan Zhenren, they directly defeated the coalition forces of both good and evil. The two sides were completely at a different level of combat power, and were directly crushed by equipment, organization, artillery, and cultivation level, and had no power to fight back.

We were targeted by concentrated fire for a while and suffered heavy losses!

Lin Shan stretched out his hand and all the soul grasses flew back to him. After being re-infused with soul power, they were thrown out again by him!

The faces of the Jindan Zhenren on both the righteous and evil sides changed drastically, and they ran away in a hurry, bringing a group of disciples under their command and rushing directly into the purple fog formation. It seemed that they were going to evacuate without caring about anything!

Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu hurriedly stopped them and told them to stay together, as they might be able to take revenge first.

This is also true.

After all, they just didn't understand the whole thing just now, so they were caught off guard by Lin Shan and suffered mental damage.

If he really had to be on guard, Lin Shan would not be a match for so many people.

But now, these Jindan Zhenren were selfish and only thought about how to find a safe place to recuperate, for fear of being touched by the Soul-Slaying Flying Knife again.

The world is so big, but of course your own future is the biggest!
Once the foundation of the soul is shaken, what hope is there for the future?
Even though Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu have temporarily become the leaders of the two camps, these subordinates are all disciples of various Jindan Zhenren. They still have to listen to their ancestors at critical moments. How can they control the two of them?
Lin Shan saw that this group of people ran away first, so he turned his target to the two brothers.

Fifteen soul-severing flying knives locked onto the two men's positions. Now it was their turn to change expression, realizing that they could not escape all the attacks even if they wanted to.

If you don't want to be tricked, you can only think quickly.

"Fight!"

The two of them each mobilized their spiritual senses, intending to take advantage of the fact that these spiritual herbs were currently ownerless, and forcibly use their spiritual senses to erase Lin Shan's control and seize control on a spiritual level.

The magic power to capture him is not effective, this dog brother's magic power is too strong, there has been a precedent.

Then use your spiritual consciousness to fight!
Give up physical grappling and turn to mental interception!
However, when they really competed with each other in terms of spiritual awareness, they found out sadly that
Even spiritual consciousness is no match!
How powerful is Lin Shan's spiritual consciousness at the Soul Pill Stage? It is far beyond the reach of these Golden Pill Stage cultivators.

After all, with two pills in hand, the world is mine!
My magic power is several times greater than yours, and my spiritual awareness is also several times greater than yours!
The two men were unable to dodge and were instantly pierced by several flying knives. Green smoke spread all over their bodies and they screamed in agony.

Just at this time, the fleet of Qingyang Peak drove away the two families, turned the bows and concentrated their fire, bombarding them again!

"cough cough"

In the firelight, the two men were in tatters, their faces were pale, and their demeanor was listless. Their spirits were hurt, and they seemed absent-minded in everything they did, unable to give their full effort.

After seeing Lin Shan taking back the spiritual herbs to recharge and getting ready to go.

Decisive choice to run away!
Without the support of the two camps behind them, they had no way of resisting the siege of Lin Shan and the entire fleet of Qingyang Peak. They could only give up the fight for the ruins and flee into the purple fog array on the periphery.

The people of Qingyang Peak hated Zhong Shenxiu very much because of what happened to Taoist Nun Qingsu before. They chased the two of them and attacked them fiercely. They only stopped when they saw that they were getting farther and farther away and they could not catch up with them anymore.

Lin Shan did not chase after him, but instead withdrew all the soul power from the spiritual herbs in his hand.

Fifteen grass leaves were neatly stacked together. The root of the leaf was like a knife handle, and the leaf blade was like a blade. The gray ink color was slightly lighter, which was because he had just used it twice in a row.

He took out the jade box, placed the leaves in it, and used restrictions to block the leakage of spiritual energy and soul energy. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Gray True Ink Divine Grass is still a spiritual herb and has not been refined into a magic weapon. If he forcefully uses it excessively, it is very likely to lose too much of its essence and degenerate and wither, making it unusable.

He still had some common sense in the world of cultivation. "On the Picking and Protection of Spiritual Flowers and Herbs" was a must-read guide, and every low-level cultivator had a copy.

Just now, he had a sudden inspiration in a hurry and took a gamble with a fluke mentality. Unexpectedly, the blind cat caught a dead mouse. These Jindan Zhen people did not know the truth and were greedy, so they were tricked by him.

Otherwise, I would probably be hunted down and killed in this ruins.

Now, because of an accidental attack, both forces were driven out!

I suddenly became the final winner and could occupy this place alone.

"The trauma to their souls is not a minor injury. If these people want to recover after returning, it will probably take at least a month. I can rest assured to search for the ruins here."

Lin Shan pondered in his heart, but did not act in a hurry.

Instead, he sat cross-legged by the stream, took out the spirit stone pill and began to restore his mana. There are void factors in the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the ancient battlefield of the evil demons outside the sky, which are not suitable for direct absorption by the human body, otherwise it may cause transformation and mutation, so it can only be temporarily restored by external objects.

The two previous battles had consumed a lot of energy, so he had to keep himself in peak condition at all times to face the unknown that was to come.

The people from Qingyang Peak stayed in the sky at this time, not daring to disturb them for a moment, and they were obviously a little afraid.

Just now, Lin Shan used his small force to defeat a large one, and forcibly killed ten Jindan stage cultivators, and directly suppressed them all!
This young Jindan from Zixiao Sect is too powerful!

No wonder he dared to lead them to break into the ruins alone. It turned out that he was very skilled and brave. Fortunately, they had thought of escaping before, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to move forward.

Lin Shan ignored them and spent nearly two hours slowly replenishing his magic power. He then checked his soul to make sure there was nothing wrong with it before slowly finishing his work.

The Qingyang Peak fleet still stayed at the entrance of the purple mist, guarding the gate for him. They didn't dare to act rashly, let alone covet the ruins.

"come over!"

Lin Shan waved from afar before the other side dared to sail the boat over.

Deacon Wu and others got off the boat carefully, all of them put on smiles and started talking.

"Master Lin has great magical powers and boundless magic power. The clowns on both sides of good and evil are like ants trying to shake a tree. They are vulnerable and flee in panic like a stray dog."

"Alright, alright, stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Shan didn't have time to listen to these people flattering him, he had important things to do, so he gave some simple instructions.

"You must guard this entrance and not let any outsiders in. The ruins in the mountain are dangerous and unpredictable. I can go in and explore by myself."

The people at Qingyang Peak looked hesitant. They had come with Lin Shan because of instructions from above, which vaguely hinted at supervision and monitoring.

You went in alone, and we were guarding outside. We couldn't see what was found in there, and we didn't know what was there or how much was there.
At the critical moment when the alien evil relics need to leave Xiaoyizhou, everything worth studying cannot be given up. As a person from Qingyang Peak, not only can I not participate, but I also have to work as a gatekeeper for you?

It was clearly you who came to us, what's going on?

Lin Shan earnestly began the reverse PUA brainwashing:

"Everyone, we, Zixiao Sect and Qianyun Pavilion, are as close as a family. How can there be any distinction between yours and mine?"

Everyone secretly complained, "I didn't see you share the newly acquired Gray True Ink Divine Grass with us."
"The ruins are extremely dangerous. I'm sure you've all heard how powerful the evil demons from outer space were in the past. If you don't reach the Golden Core stage before, you'll die. As the leader, I have to consider your safety!"

Everyone felt upset. You forced us to break into the Purple Mist Ruins without considering our safety, right?
"What's more, the outer area of ​​the mountain, including the purple mist entrance, is not only our way in, but also our way out. If the good and evil forces come back and block our way out, wouldn't we be helpless in the depths of the ruins?"

Everyone was stunned. This seemed to make some sense, but why did it take all of us and only you to guard the retreat?
"The evil demons from outer space are ever-changing, cunning and evil. If they possess others, they will instigate and alienate each other, which will inevitably lead to internal strife and chaos. Therefore, it is safer to be alone!"

Everyone was hesitant. Are you talking about the 'Demon from Beyond'? Is this definitely the same as the Evil Demon from Beyond?

Seeing that they were being fooled by him, Lin Shan used the aura of Zixiao Sect's identity and his knowledge and experience as a Jindan stage cultivator to add fuel to the fire, his tone becoming heavier and more decisive.

"The word 'evil' in 'heavenly demon' means it must be somewhat similar to the evil spirit. If you really want to risk your lives and follow me in, I will definitely not hold back if I find anything wrong!"

The implication is that if I were in there and I made a subjective judgment that "something is not right with you", I would probably do something against my own will and take action against you!
Even if you die then it will be in vain because you are possessed by an evil spirit!
"!!!"

Now Deacon Wu and the others were all dumbfounded. They looked at him, not knowing what to say.

The other party has a lot of twisted logic.

I really want to refute, but I can't.

Look at this, is this even human language?
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Everyone felt aggrieved, but thinking of Lin Shan's previous feat of single-handedly taking on ten Jindan Zhenren from both the righteous and evil families, they had to force themselves to hold back and bow their heads respectfully. No one dared to joke with their lives.

"Master Lin is absolutely right. It seems that it is only safer for you to go and get the evil treasure from outer space in person."

"We will be guarding your retreat route outside, so you can go with peace of mind!"

"Yes, yes, we won't follow them!"

"When the time comes, leave some behind. Ahem. You have already given instructions to the Peak Master, so we can report back when we return."

……

These people were helpless and knew that Lin Shan wanted to make some extra money, and he wanted to eat for himself without giving them any benefits. However, due to the difference in strength and the rules of Qingyang Peak, they could only obey his orders.

Lin Shan turned around, curled his lips, and a sneer flashed across his eyes.

You are not my direct subordinates, why should I take you to drink soup?
When we go in, if we encounter unknown dangers, I will have to distract myself to protect you. I am so idle that I will cause trouble for myself!
What if this group of people suffer heavy losses inside, and he will have a hard time explaining when he returns to Qingyang Peak. It would be better for him to stay outside and guard the retreat route. It would be safer and less worrying, isn't it?

And most importantly, if he really came across something extremely precious in there, once it was seen by these people, he might have to kill people to silence them in order to avoid being exposed.

I asked you to stay outside to protect you!

If you don't even understand this, have you lived all these years in vain?
It's not that the people at Qingyang Peak didn't think of this, but they were all righteous people. Even if there were dirty tricks going on in the dark, they had never seen anyone kill people to silence them, let alone dare to massacre an entire fleet!

But Lin Shan is different. He positions himself as neutral, both good and evil, and follows his heart. Qianyun Pavilion is his enemy, so he naturally has no psychological burden in dealing with his enemy.

It's just that these people are still kept in the dark.

After giving some general instructions, he casually set up a few restrictions outside the cave entrance on the mountainside as a simple warning. He thought that the people from Qingyang Peak would not dare to touch them.

Then he followed the source of Yuzicui Creek and walked into the cave alone.
