Immortal Road.

Chapter 408 Leaving the Forbidden Land and Returning to Luxi

After Lin Shan and the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave stayed in Hongya Cave for two days, they resigned and left.

Before leaving, the Kuihu Demon King was reluctant to leave, with tears in his eyes.

"If Military Advisor Lin can't make it in the human race, you can come to the demon race to find me. I will treat you as a king!"

Lin Shan forced a smile and said "sure".

The demon generals also followed to see him off, but most of them were just being polite and didn't have any deep feelings for him.

General Xiong was nowhere to be seen. He was probably still lying down recovering from his injuries.

The three of them got up and headed south.

We passed through the thorny forest, passed the place where Xuanwu refused to accept corpses, crossed the Hongya Plain, and came to the deep mountains and old forests of the forbidden area.

First, look for the Wild Ox Valley mentioned by the Kuihu Demon King.

This area is a wild land and does not obey the orders of the Kuihu Demon King.

It was once one of the military bases of the Yuanlu Demon King, and a large number of backbone personnel were secretly sent there.

Because the Kuihu Demon King was restrained and under the command of Mr. Bei who sought stability, he had no time to pay attention to this place, which was a place without "king's law".

However, with the unification of the southern part by the Demon King Kuihu and the escape of the Demon King Yuanlu, there will be a vacuum period without external threats, and sooner or later he will have time to clean up this place.

Of course, we have to consolidate the territory of the Yuanlu Demon King first before we have the time and energy to do so.

It has only been two and a half years since the old enemy was driven away, and many places still require large armies to suppress and garrison so that the evil generals under his command can deal with them.

There are also special strategic locations like Hongyadong and Xuanwu Jushi, which also need to be managed slowly.

The foreign lands will be put aside for the time being and left for later.

Lin Shan went to look for animal tendons to mend the bowstring of the Xuantai Bow of Silence, and he came to Ye Niugou.

Beef tendons are supposed to be very chewy, but not very tough! Especially the tendons of fourth-level monsters, which are very suitable for making bowstrings.

The three of them are rampant here, searching everywhere.

This arrogant behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the local natives, and all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts rushed over.

However, with two late Jindan stage people supporting them, Lin Shan and his group had nothing to fear.

They fought for several days, resting and fighting, fighting and resting. All those who were not afraid of death in the area were slaughtered. Finally, the three men were exhausted and the battle finally stopped.

As we went deeper, we found a plateau forest farm with abundant grass and water. Wild buffaloes were hiding and roaming freely among them, looking very happy.

Fortunately, it is not an open-air ranch, otherwise it would have been discovered by outsiders long ago.

Lin Shan and the other two immediately started looking for the leader, and three fourth-level demon bulls really jumped out, roaring and roaring at them.

Among them there was a wild buffalo that had clearly developed intelligence. It could be considered a demon beast if not a monster.

If it were an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator, he might have just run away, but their lineup was strong and they killed all the cattle here.

There's no need to worry about the low-level demon bulls. The main thing is the three fourth-level leaders, who started running away when they realized they couldn't beat the three of them, and they also knew to escape separately.

But in the end, he was unable to escape the clutches of the three men. Although he was familiar with the terrain and had the home advantage, the gap in strength was too big and he was still caught and killed.

The essence of the three demon bulls is different.

One is the transformation of an ox horn, a fourth-grade spiritual material, comparable to a magic weapon.

One is the transformation of a bull whip, a fourth-level spiritual material that can enhance sexual performance.

It is understandable that the horns can be transformed into multiple weapons to increase combat effectiveness in daily fights.

I just can’t figure out what the bullwhip is.

What can you, a monster, do by evolving this thing?

Fortunately, the last thing that transformed was beef tendon, which was more than ten feet long in total, so it was no problem to connect them together to make a string.

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was summoned over, looked at the tendon placed on its bony claws, pulled it slightly, and then pulled it hard.

Nodded to indicate it was okay.

Then he went back and told Lin Shan that it would be almost repaired by the time he returned to western Shandong.

The rest of the bull horns and bull whips were divided among the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave.

"Haha, this bull whip is just right for me to use when I get home. I want to take advantage of these last few years to see if I can have a child in my old age."

"Well, I have this idea too."

The two old brothers were thinking the same thing, as expected of them having similar interests for hundreds of years. Lin Shan secretly sneered at them from the side.

You are so old now, can you still muster up your vigor?
Leaving Bison Valley, there is no more delay along the way.

We crossed mountains and rivers and arrived at the outskirts of the Aurora Sea.

Although he did not wait until the hottest month of July this time, as the local tyrant who inherited the throne, the demon king Kuihu had naturally figured out the rules long ago among the demon kings of the forbidden areas of all generations.

A small path was specially pointed out to him, which was relatively less dangerous and could lead directly to the outside world in the shortest distance.

Lin Shan released the three evil spirit brothers. They were also like fish in water here, leading the three people out of the Aurora Sea Chasm easily, as if it were their own back garden.

When the two brothers saw that Lin Shan was raising an evil spirit, they were hesitant and didn't know whether they should persuade him or not.

Finally, the Great Elder of Zhenyue Sect kindly reminded him:

"Master Lin, Lu is after all a Confucian territory. You'd better be careful when you go back. It's best not to show up evil spirits, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Lin Shan bowed his hands and thanked:

"Don't worry, old brother. I will not take this into consideration and will not give others any reason to criticize me. Besides, the three guys, Mang, Zhui and Ru, have long since given up their evil ways and turned to good deeds."

The three evil brothers nodded like chicks pecking at rice, almost writing "I am a good person" on their faces.

He counted on his fingers.

"Ever since they followed me, it seems that they haven't sucked blood and flesh from living creatures in the past three years. Well, except for the time when I led troops to ambush the demon general Ziyang."

The three evil brothers wanted to cry but had no tears. You also know that we have been suffering since we followed you. We haven’t had sex for several years!
Normally, when they couldn't find any human monks, they would leave the Aurora Sea and run to nearby monsters to satisfy their hunger, so they would never go hungry.

Now, the evil spirit clan has been forced to become a vegetarian. Who can stand this?

However, in front of outsiders, these three guys were very well-behaved, repeatedly saying that they had turned over a new leaf and repented, and would never do anything to harm others when they went to the human kingdom in the future.

Although the Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect and the Lord of Xuchan Cave did not believe it, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye since Lin Shan was their savior after all.

After leaving the Aurora Sea and arriving at the outskirts of the Star-Swallowing Mountains, it is relatively safe here and not as dangerous as the Cliff Forbidden Land. Many places are accessible to those in the Jindan stage.

Lin Shan still remembers that when they first came here, there was a purple forest swamp where plant spirits roamed.

This time when he passed by, he ignored the group of water birds that swooped down on him, and instead tried to attack the tropical rainforest below.

"Master Lin, no!"

Just as the two brothers were about to stop them, the plant spirits below became enraged and began to attack them waving their branches. Among them were several that were ten thousand years old!

The overwhelming branches stretched out, and the entire rain forest seemed to come alive, with demons dancing in an orderly yet chaotic manner, and they were all their clones!
When Lin Shan saw such a big scene and posture, he was immediately shocked. After realizing that he was no match for the opponent, he walked away without looking back.

The two older brothers had no choice but to follow and were also severely beaten.

Three days later.

Walking out of the Star-Swallowing Mountains, you can see Jiangning City in the northeast of Lu State.

There were low-level cultivators walking in groups of two or three below, some going in and some going out of the mountain, and some robbery cultivators hiding in the dark, picking out fat sheep to attack. However, these were of no importance to Jindan Zhenren.

At their level, the fighting and petty quarrels no longer bother them and they are too lazy to care about them.

The three of them first flew into Jiangning City and took a short rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

During this period, there were several familiar Jindan Zhenren in the city. Upon learning that they had returned from the forbidden area on the cliff, they paid a special visit.

I just want to ask if Lin Shan still has the reed stalactites here, and whether they are willing to sell them, or if there are any other natural treasures that can be exchanged.

Lin Shan naturally refused, saying that his reed jade stalactite had been used up, so he turned back to youth and became the Golden Elixir of Youth.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement. Those people made this guess the first time they saw his youthful appearance.

Now it has come true, and everyone is extremely disappointed.

The fact that Lin Shan defeated everyone in Hongya Cave and obtained a piece of Lu Yu Stalactite has long been known to everyone.

If he brought it back openly, he would probably be targeted by many people.

In the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, the demon king Kuihu is the guarantor and the demon army is at their side, so these people dare not act recklessly.

Now that I'm back, it's inevitable that many powerful people will have thoughts.

However, the young man's golden elixir just happened to be a perfect cover.

This group of people came with hope but left disappointed.

Lin Shan still had less than half of the Luyu stalactite in his hand, which belonged to him.

There is also a one-fifth bottle of reed jade stalactite, which was left by the ancestor of the Yang family.

He estimated that the Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect and the Lord of Xuchan Cave should also know about this bottle of Reed Jade Stalactite. After all, the three brothers have always been inseparable and it is impossible for them to hide it from each other.

The reason why these two people didn't fight over it was definitely because this little bit of reed jade stalactite wouldn't extend life for long and wasn't worth getting into a fight about.

In addition, the ancestor of the Yang family must have made some compensation, so he was able to get it.

He did not use it before he died, apparently because he thought it would be a waste to drink it, and it would be better to take it back to the family and save it for talented younger generations to use as an aid in refining the Jade Liquid.

Lin Shan had no intention of embezzling the money, so he just returned it to the Yang family intact.

The most valuable asset left by the ancestor of the Yang family was not this, but his legitimate inheritance of the Lujiang League, the legitimacy of the embryonic form of this great power.

In name, the ancestor of the Yang family entrusted his son to the care of others before his death. There is nothing wrong with it in terms of rationality, legality and reasonableness, and there will be little resistance when he returns.

A few petty profits are not worth going against the last wish of the Yang family ancestor.

The two older brothers thought the same thing, and they ignored it and pretended they hadn’t seen it.

In addition to this group of people, there was another group of people who came to visit specifically to check on the two brothers' conditions.

Lin Shan knew that these should be the people and forces behind them that had connections and conflicts with the two of them.

After seeing these two men coming out of the forbidden area on the cliff and the Star-Swallowing Mountains unharmed, and hanging out with the immortal genius Lin Shan, everyone was shocked and left unhappily.

The two brothers sneered endlessly, showing off their arrogance without reservation, so that half of the people in Jiangning City could feel it.

When everyone learned that the two old guys not only did nothing happen after their visit, but also looked as healthy as ever, they had no choice but to suppress their restless urges.

But the absence of the Yang family's ancestor made some people start to have ideas.

While in Jiangning City.

Lin Shan also went to visit the business building of the Yang family's ancestor.

I found out that it had already changed hands.

Its ore recovery building was acquired by other forces, which adopted the Yang family's original layout and policies. Business is booming, but it's a pity that the family is no longer surnamed Yang.

It should be the Yang family, a family of cultivators far away in western Shandong. Because the ancestor of the Yang family has been gone for three years, the family is weak and out of reach. Unable to withstand the pressure from all sides, they were forced to shrink the scale and scope of their industry.

Jiangning City, such a cash cow, had no choice but to sell it to another company.

After so many years of hard work to break the monopoly and fight through the siege, it was ruined by the disappearance of the ancestor of the Yang family.

After a short rest for two days, Lin Shan said goodbye to the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave.

They each have to return to their own territories, and it is time to go their separate ways here.

Western Shandong, northern Shandong, and eastern Shandong are not very close to each other. After this separation, I don’t know when we will see each other again.

Maybe we are separated by heaven and earth.

"Master Lin, we know that you are not an ordinary person. You will surely soar to the sky in the future and surpass us two brothers in no time."

"Haha, then I'll take advantage of the good wishes from the two elder brothers."

"See you later!"

"See you later."

"Hey~"

Without any hesitation, the three of them said goodbye and each turned into a rainbow and flew away.

Lin Shan returned in a straight line, that is, he flew straight to the southwest.

Passing through the central part of Lu, the prosperity here far exceeds that of the other eight regions.

Smoke is rising up and everywhere in the city.

There are many schools and academies in the area.

The local superpowers, the two great families of Confucius and Mencius, the Bailu Academy and the Jingyang Academy, also brought their elites here to take root, radiating in all directions and controlling the four places.

Lin Shan just looked at them silently. He knew that he was far from being qualified to compete with the big guys for food now, and it would be good enough if he could gain a foothold in Luxi.

With the death of the ancestor of the Yang family, no one knows how to end such a big mess.

We can only take one step at a time and see what is waiting for us ahead.

Seven or eight days passed in a flash as we traveled in wind and rain.

The first stop is still to return to their old nest, Tianfu Mountain to look for ancient religion.

As a mid-level holy place for immortals, Lingshan Mansion has, after so many years of development, become quite presentable and has become a beautiful landscape within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Many people from the surrounding mortal cities also learned that there were immortals here, and came here specifically to look for them, but most of them returned disappointed.

When Lin Shan came back, he could see that there were a lot more people in Xun Gu Sect, and it was more lively than before.

It seems that during the time when I was away, the Black Skull Demon Lord must not have had much time to manage the sect, and it was all the people under him who were developing and strengthening this new sect.

"Master? You're back?!"

Gao Zuoda was enjoying the breeze in front of the mountain top, overlooking the sea of ​​forests and relaxing.

Suddenly, I saw colorful rainbow lights flying in the distance, and a young man in white clothes walked down from the clouds.

I rubbed my eyes carefully and confirmed that I was not seeing things.

Although I don't know why the leader has become so much younger, it doesn't affect his vision at all.

"Your subordinate Gao Zuo Da respectfully welcomes the return of the leader!"
