Immortal Road.

Chapter 412: See you again in Xianyin, a pack of wolves arrives

Luzhong County, Xianyin Pool.

It is the only inner lake surrounded by mountains in the vast lake with a radius of 500 miles.

At this time, the place was bustling with people.

This was the place where the 72 forces met in the past. The ancestor of the Yang family raised his arm and started a wave of attack on the Dai family. How majestic!
Now, it is like a vegetable market, with endless quarrels and noise everywhere.

All members of the Yang family wore mourning clothes and tied white scarves on their heads, trying hard to maintain order in the place, but it seemed that their dignity had been lost and it was of no avail.

When the ancestor of the Yang family was alive, these people didn't dare to say a word. But as soon as the ancestor of the Yang family died, their true colors were immediately revealed.

Amid the noise, some irrelevant words were spoken, cliques were formed for personal gain, and collusion was made in public. Many people wandered around and tried to fish in troubled waters.

Shuiyunxuan.

The pavilion in the center of the lake is where a great Yuanying stage master who passed by once wrote an inscription.

The leaders of all major forces gathered here.

The ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City kept sneering and whispering to each other with an impatient tone.

"The Yang family is really unique. The entire family has declined to the point where there are only two Jindan-stage cultivators left, yet they still act so arrogantly. Who are they showing off to?"

"Humph! You've left us here for so long, and there's no one of the same level to greet us. It seems like you're used to bullying others. Do you really think you're an evergreen?"

"The Yang family has long lost its power as a powerful family. It really shouldn't continue to control the Lujiang League. It's time to give up some of the huge territory and business under its name."

"That's right. They are hiding behind and reaping the benefits. They also want us to continue to work like slaves for them. This is a very good plan!"

The leaders of the four sects of Lu Nan also spoke out, and it was obvious that they had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.

"When we took down the Dai family, the Yang family alone took 35% of the profits. They ate a lot of food in one go, and now that they don't have the strength to protect us, shouldn't they give us some of the profits?"

"It is said that of the two remaining old ghosts of the Yang family, one stayed behind in the clan all the time, fearing any mishap, while the other went straight to Tianfu Mountain a few days ago. Tsk tsk tsk."

"Going to Tianfu Mountain? It seems that they are looking for the ancient leader. He really looks down on us. If they want to find someone, they will look for the immortal genius. They disdain us old bones!"

"Even if the Yang family and Xun Gu Sect unite, what can they do? Can they still reverse the situation? Their Jindan Zhenren combined are only half of ours. If they don't give up most of the interests and power in the alliance, I..."

While they were discussing heatedly, four startling rainbows flashed by in the distance and fell into the pavilion.

I heard a young man asking,

"Oh? The leader of Lingyun Sect, right? If you don't give up most of the interests and power in the alliance, what do you want to do?"

The eight people in the pavilion looked up suddenly and saw a young man in white strolling leisurely in the garden, followed by Master Yang, Elder Hei Ku, and Master Zhan Kong, who sat down leisurely.

The leader of Lingyun Sect wanted to respond in a tough manner.

But seeing that Lin Shan had turned from a young man into a teenager, with a faint smile on his lips and a sharp light flashing in his eyes, Yang Jia Zhenren actually respected him very much, and three Jindan-stage monks from Xun Gu Sect came all of a sudden.
The most important thing was that he remembered that three years ago, as soon as Master Lin came out of retreat, he rushed thousands of miles to kill the guardian of Jiuyou Sect, and his heart suddenly trembled!
I can't take the lead in this!
If anyone is to leave, it must be the four great families of Wangyue City!
As soon as I step forward, what if the other party comes and puts a accusation on me to scare the monkeys? Who will help me?

The four sects of Lu'nan are in disarray and do not trust each other. How can they dare to entrust their lives to each other?

The leader of Lingyun Sect suddenly lost his temper and remained silent. He even showed his cowardice at the critical moment! This made Yang Jia Zhenren feel very sorry.

A trace of disappointment also flashed across the eyes of the Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong. They had originally thought that they could catch one right away and give a severe blow to the arrogance of these fence-sitters, but they ended up backing down after just one sentence.

The ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City glared at the leader of Lingyun Sect with disappointment.

With your character, you want to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the pie? Do you have any ambition?

"Master Lin, I haven't seen you for three years. Congratulations on your achievement of the Golden Elixir at a young age!"

"It is said that in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, Master Lin was free and unrestrained, taking the reed jade stalactite from the fire, and even drinking it in one breath to regain youth. Now it seems to be true."

"We are all very saddened by the unexpected death of Alliance Leader Yang. We founded the Lujiang Alliance, how could we bear to see it decline till now!"

"We propose that the Yang family should allocate a portion of spiritual land and industries to help each family grow and develop. Only when all members of the alliance are wealthy can the Lujiang Alliance truly grow stronger!"

These four old fellows are obviously much more slippery than the leader of Lingyun Sect. What they say is neither soft nor harsh, and sounds reasonable.

Your Yang family has taken all the benefits, but you don't have the strength to keep them. Shouldn't you give them up and allow everyone to develop?
Only when the entire league grows stronger can the Lujiang League regain its former glory.

Now it is no longer the time when the ancestor of the Yang family was still alive. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry.

“Master Lin, since Master Zhankong has also become a Golden Core True Person, the Xun Gu Sect now has three Golden Cores in its sect. So this time when the Yang family’s assets are divided, the Xun Gu Sect should take the lion’s share!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Yang's expression changed immediately!
These four old guys are really insidious!
He is very good at using flowers to pay tribute to Buddha. He wants to pry away Xun Gu Sect just by talking. Wouldn't his Yang family become isolated and the target of public criticism?

The Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong were very moved after hearing this.

Right!

Logically speaking, if the Yang family really shares the profits, shouldn't we get the lion's share?
Why should we help the Yang family?

Lin Shan's face was calm, and he was not bewitched by these four old guys.

From his perspective, not only the Xun Gu Sect, but the entire Lujiang League is in his hands!

The four great families in Wangyue City and the four sects in Lunan are trying to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune. Whether the Lujiang League can stand up depends entirely on subsequent developments.

They are not short-sighted, but they do not have the ability to turn the tide!
When one is not strong enough, one naturally tries to protect himself while trying to gain some small benefits for himself first, without caring about what is happening in front of and behind him.

But Linshan is different!
His goal was to encompass the entire Lujiang League and make it his tool and back garden to protect the Xun Gu religion.

Since he has the ability, he will naturally look further ahead.

Without the status of a giant in the cultivation world, the Yang family could no longer maintain so many industries. If they wanted to make concessions, they would have to do so afterwards, not now!

If we give in now, the whole alliance will be in chaos!
Everyone is only concerned with dividing up their own people. If external forces take advantage of the situation and invade, who will unite to resist?

Strength determines vision, and vision determines height.

Things have different priorities. It is impossible to only focus on the present and ignore the future.

Moreover, the Yang family is now their staunch ally supporting them, while the four great families of Wangyue City and the four sects of Lunan are just fence-sitters.

Why would we rush to help a fence-sitter and dismember our allies?
"What the four Taoist friends said may have some truth, but the most urgent task now is to resolve the external danger of the Lujiang League first. The matter of the Yang family can be discussed later."

After hearing this, Master Yang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Shan was trying to make a move towards him.

If Xun Gu Sect also joins the camp to divide up the Yang family, then the Yang family will be surrounded by enemies.

Fortunately, Master Lin knows the big picture.

The ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City shook their heads repeatedly.

"Master Lin, what you said is wrong. Haven't you heard the old saying that one must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies?"

"That's right. Before a war, we must prepare military pay and food supplies first, so that the soldiers will fight for their lives and the front line can be stable." "Now everyone in the alliance has suffered for the Yang family for a long time. We should divide up their property first and get enough benefits, so that we can drive everyone to work for the alliance together!"

"Why should we work so hard to protect the Yang family's property? The Lujiang League is not the Yang family's umbrella of protection. It is the joint efforts of all of us!"

After hearing this, the Jindan Zhenren from the four Lunan sects gradually became bolder and became eager to make some moves.

Lin Shan was unmoved. This bunch of fence-sitters were just trying to take advantage of him. If he gave them what they wanted now, they might run away the next day!
"Everyone, when the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken. Your development and progress over the years are all due to the support of the Lujiang League. If this big tree falls, not only will the Yang family be liquidated, but you will probably not be much better off."

Everyone understands this truth. In recent years, not only the Yang family and the Xun Gu Sect have developed well, but other families have also developed well, but they have not progressed as fast as these two families, so they are jealous.

If the Lujiang League collapses, they will lose this protective umbrella and will certainly no longer have such a good space for development.

But surprisingly, the eight ancestors all had vague looks and talked about other things, as if they didn't care much about this.

Lin Shan and Master Yang immediately understood that these old guys had probably already prepared a retreat, and might have already established contact with other external forces, so they were so fearless.

Of course, if the Lujiang League can survive, it would be best if it did not collapse. That way, they are still the veteran seats and can have a great deal of autonomy and voice.

If I had surrendered to the enemy, my life would definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.

However, their strength limits their choices. They can only try to make some money in the alliance, take one step at a time, try to please both sides, and survive in the chaos.

While they were discussing in the pavilion.

There were footsteps coming from the corridor in the lake.

"Master, there seems to be a riot outside. Some people are fighting without following the rules because of a disagreement."

Lin Shan turned around and saw Gao Zuoda coming to report.

At the same time, the ancestors of the other eight families of the Yang family also received similar news.

The immortals looked outside the pavilion and saw several disturbances taking place by the lake. Points of light were flying around, and there was indeed a chaotic fight going on.

There are good and bad forces among the 72 forces. Some hope that the Lujiang League will not collapse, some have already secretly colluded with Qu Kuang, and some have hatred against each other.

They used to live under the same roof with a pinch of their noses, but now seeing that the situation is not optimistic, they are ignoring the overall situation and starting to fight among themselves.

"With a powerful enemy at hand, it's bad enough that these people don't think about making progress, they even dare to disrupt the morale of the army. I order them to be suppressed!"

Lin Shan gave the order without hesitation, and Gao Zuoda took it and left.

Master Yang had no complaints about Lin Shan's meddling in other people's affairs, and he whispered to his clansmen to help Xun Gu Sect suppress the rebellion.

The four great ancestors of Wangyue City frowned.

"Master Lin, now that the leader of the alliance has passed away, the alliance is leaderless. Shouldn't all matters be decided by all of us elders?"

"It's too hasty for you to make the decision by yourself, bypassing all of us!"

"That's right. According to the rules set during the original alliance, the Xun Gu Sect only has one elder position, which is Elder Hei Ku. The other eight of us haven't spoken yet!"

"After all, those people outside are all members of the alliance. The minor frictions and disputes are conflicts among themselves. There is no need to suppress them all the time, right?"

Master Yang excused Lin Shan.

"You may not know that before my ancestor died in the Cliff Forbidden Land, he designated the next leader as the successor, and that was Sect Leader Lin."

The Jindan Zhenren from the four sects of Lunan were not willing to be outdone and spoke up one after another.

"But he is not the leader yet, so he is a bit too nosy!"

"Yes, your hand is so long. You have just broken through the Golden Core Stage a few years ago and your qualifications are still shallow. How can you take the position of leader?"

"If you continue to act as you please and act arrogantly and domineeringly, the Lujiang League will be handed over to you in the future. Wouldn't that mean you can cover the sky with one hand?"

"Being young and energetic is a good thing, but you can't be too aggressive!"

Lin Shan suddenly turned his head and looked at the leader of Lingyun Sect. His aura surged, his eyes gleamed with brilliance, and his magic power unleashed like a dragon!
"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Uh"

The leader of Lingyun Sect was stunned.

Everyone is talking about you, not just me, why are you targeting me only?

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The other few people were startled. Could it be that this Master Lin was planning to catch someone and make an example of him?
The leader of Lingyun Sect broke out in a cold sweat and unconsciously moved to the side. He was too frightened to say anything.

After a while, the riot outside ended.

Gao Zuoda came back to report.

"Report to the leader, all those who participated in the fight have been suppressed by the leader of the Mu Hall!"

"Well, go down and help the Yang family maintain order. If there are any troublemakers, kill them on the spot!"

"Yes!"

The four great ancestors of Wangyue City saw that this couldn't go on any longer.

If we allow this kid to build up his prestige, will the Lujiang League really let him take over?
When the ancestor of the Yang family was around, he was the one who crushed all of them to the point where they couldn't breathe. Now there's another kid who's riding on their heads and shitting on them. This is intolerable!
"Master Lin, it's not that we don't recognize your potential, but you are still young. In order to avoid premature death, you should concentrate on your cultivation. As for the position of Alliance Leader."

Lin Shan sneered.

"Why, besides me, who among you has the guts to inherit the title of leader? Tell me what it is?"

Everyone's tone froze and they were all silent.

The Lujiang Alliance is now a broken ship in the midst of wind and rain. Whoever succeeds as the leader will be responsible for this mess. When the time comes, external forces will come to settle accounts and they will not let the leader go even if they let others go.

So apart from Lin Shan, no one else dared to inherit this hot potato.

"Humph, you have the will but not the guts. Even if I give you a chance, you are useless!"

Lin Shan stood up suddenly.

"From now on, if you all don't want to take over as the leader, then I will refuse your request!"

Everyone wanted to object, but suddenly someone came from outside to report.

In addition to the Lujiang League, Jindan Zhenren from more than a dozen other forces in the Lujiang River Basin have come here with their disciples, and are only ten miles away from the Xianyin Pool!
The foreign enemy is here, and is very close!
These old-timers immediately changed their tune and put on smiles.

"The position of the leader is of great importance. It is a matter of life and death, and it is natural that it must be Master Lin!"
