Immortal Road.

Chapter 414: The Mastermind Appears

Everyone suddenly turned around and looked in the direction they came from.

The speaker was none other than the Lord of Chixiao City!
Master Yang looked grim and shouted angrily.

"Fellow Daoist Chi Xiao, the selection of the leader of the Lujiang Alliance is our internal affair. When did it become the turn of outsiders to comment on it?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord glanced at Lin Shan and found that he was still sitting on the high platform with his eyes closed, not saying a word, like an old tree with twisted roots.

Then he realized that it was his turn to act and stood up to speak for him.

"The Lujiang League is a collective of our seventy-two forces. We should take care of our own affairs. Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to interfere in the election of the leader of the league?"

The old fellow Master Zhankong was not willing to be left behind, so he stood up and stood side by side with Master Yang and the Black Skull Demon Lord.

"Master Chi Xiao, take a piss and look at yourself before you speak. Don't be nosy. Know your identity!"

Master Yang spoke more tactfully, but Lord Black Skull and Master Zhan Kong were not polite.

The Black Skull Demon Lord has high standards and is unwilling to compromise.

Master Zhan Kong had just broken through to the Jindan stage. As his strength increased greatly, this old fellow suddenly became inflated!
Of course, it is not ruled out that the leader and deputy leader are backing him up, and he is supported by an inexplicable self-confidence.

The other eight real people in the alliance all had trembling expressions on their faces, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

They also don't want outsiders to dictate their actions, but they are also afraid that if outsiders jump out to oppose them now, what will they do if the Lujiang League collapses and they are liquidated?
So he sat there without saying a word, allowing the two sides to confront each other.

The small forces below didn't dare to speak. Their strength was not up to par, so they could only look red in the face and glare in anger.

The Lord of Chixiao City smiled slightly, and the Jindan Zhenren from various families behind him stood up one after another. Their auras blended together, and their might instantly overwhelmed this side.

Fifteen to three, a one-sided crushing victory.

"The Yang family and fellow Taoists of Xun Gu Sect, as the largest alliance in the Lujiang River Basin, the Lujiang League needs to assume responsibilities and obligations, and formulate policies and measures that all concern the interests of our entire Lujiang River Basin!"

"Whoever you choose as the leader will have influence in all aspects in the future, and will be closely related to the safety of us, who are also local forces."

"Although Master Lin is strong and talented, he is too strong and vulnerable. He is young and hot-tempered. What if he provokes an enemy we shouldn't provoke? What if that endangers the entire Lujiang River Basin?"

"I am also considering the safety of all our local forces, so I made this suggestion in a tactful way. I hope you can carefully consider it."

His words resonated with the dozen or so fellow practitioners behind him, and they all echoed him.

"Daoyou Chixiao is absolutely right!"

"You are absolutely right. Our Lujiang River Basin is a whole. If one suffers, we all suffer. If one prospers, we all prosper. The Lujiang League cannot just solve the problem internally. We must also get involved!"

"Master Lin is too young. He should have more experience and knowledge before he can take on this position. It's too early now."

"What the leader needs is a broad mind, a broad vision, and the ability to help the struggling clans and families grow and drive the vigorous development of the entire Lujiang River Basin. This is the leader we recognize."

Master Yang and the other three were bearing the pressure from a force that was five times their number. They gritted their teeth, feeling as if a heavy burden had fallen on their shoulders. Their eyes were red and their veins were throbbing.

The key is that this group of people always make sarcastic remarks and come up with all kinds of twisted ideas.

And those eight fence-sitters just stood by and watched, it's so infuriating!
When did such a huge Lujiang League become so cowardly!

"What nonsense! We chose our own leader, so when did we need your approval? This is absolutely ridiculous!"

Master Yang's back unconsciously hunched, and he roared under the pressure, and the Yang family members below were filled with indignation.

The other 62 small forces were also making a commotion in the square, protesting in low voices, and clearly felt that the other side was going too far.

The group of people from Xun Gu Sect looked up at their leader and found that he was still sitting there motionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

True Man Chi Xiao and the True Men of the Golden Core behind him were chatting and laughing wantonly, not caring at all about the anger of the Yang family and the small forces below.

To them, this is nothing but impotent rage.

When you are weak, your temper is a joke!
Only when you become truly powerful, you can be called domineering and have a strong temperament!

Now that the Yang family's ancestor is gone, how can you have any say? Didn't you see that the people from the other eight families were cowering on the sidelines, not even daring to refute a word?

"Friend Yang, Elder Leader Yang has always been someone we all look up to. This is his life's work, and I don't think you would want to just give it up like that, right?"

"If your Yang family is willing to make concessions and agree to the terms we propose, we can continue to support your Yang family to be the leader of the alliance."

"what do you think?"

This group of people began to split up again, trying to sow discord between the Yang Family and the Xun Gu Sect.

However, Master Yang was clear-headed and knew that he could only survive by being tied to the Xun Gu Sect. He thought that other people’s words were not to be trusted and could not be relied upon at all!
"No need. Before our ancestor died in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, he specifically asked Master Lin to come back and inherit the throne. Our Yang family will naturally follow the ancestor's will and support Master Lin to take the throne. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to instigate."

The Lord of Chixiao City shook his head with a serious look.

"Fellow Daoist Yang is so confused. Who can know what is going on in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff? Sect Leader Lin went there with the old leader, but he came back alone. You guys can easily believe whatever he says?"

Shi Ensanren from Happy Forest also made sarcastic remarks at the same time.

"With Master Lin's personality, do you think Master Yang would be willing to hand over the Lujiang League to him before he dies?"

The group of people from Xun Gu Sect were immediately unhappy.

You talk about our leader in front of us, do you really think we don't have a temper?
Mu Yan had a hot temper and he immediately retorted.

"My leader is a young man with a golden elixir, and he is extremely talented. He will definitely dominate the world in the future! You old thing, how can you be so senior and take advantage of your age to evaluate my leader?"

Shi Ensan looked over coldly, and the aura of the Jindan stage directly locked onto him.

"Where did you come from, youngster? Why are you butting in on a conversation between us adults?"

"I"

Mu Yan was only in the middle stage of foundation building, how could he resist the energy of the golden elixir stage? He immediately felt pain all over his body, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

But this kid was a bit weird. He just felt uncomfortable but didn't take a step back!

"Um???"

All the Jindan Zhenren looked over. Where did this kid come from? How could he hold his head high and hold his chest high in front of a Jindan stage cultivator and not be affected at all?
Master Zhan Kong stood in front of Mu Yan and helped him block the opposite energy.

"We are discussing our own affairs. Why do we have to embarrass the youngsters? Shi En Sanren, you are going too far."

Shi Ensanren looked at Master Zhan Kong and saw that his aura was disordered and his magic power was surging. He realized at a glance that he had just made a breakthrough and had not yet gained control of himself.

"Master Zhankong, I didn't expect you to break through the Jindan stage. How about fighting with me?"

The two are diametrically opposed.

Shi Ensanren took advantage of the fact that he had just made a breakthrough and hadn't even had time to consolidate his realm, so he wanted to pick on the weak and spoke so toughly.

Master Zhan Kong was not willing to be outdone.

"Okay, wait for me for half an hour, and then we'll decide the winner!"

Shi En San Ren was not stupid, he shook his head like a rattle. "You are a master of formations, how can I let you set up the formations calmly and sneak into them obediently? If you want to fight, let's fight openly and see who has more magic power!"

The other dozen or so Jindan Zhenren laughed together and made a scene with all their might.

"Fight one, fight one, fight one."

"enough!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind!
The sound was as violent as thunder and as elegant as the wind, distant and agile, echoing around the Xianyin Pool.

Lin Shan watched them quarreling for so long with cold eyes, and finally opened his eyes.

A huge amount of magic power flashed by, and the sharp aura directly found the opponent's weakness and broke the joint force of more than a dozen people.

As soon as the pressure on Yang Zhenren, Black Skull Demon Lord, and Master Zhan Kong was relieved, all the people on the opposite side suffered a backlash, and their magic power was in disorder, and they almost rioted, and were suddenly ambushed and suffered a great loss.

"Shi En Sanren, I'm sure you are just a layman, so you don't have the guts to act arrogantly in front of this Sect Leader. You must have someone backing you up!"

Lin Shan looked steadily toward somewhere in the void, with a white light flashing in his eyes, reflecting two blurry outlines.

Just now he closed his eyes to rest, but in fact he was exploring the surroundings.

Using the power of his spiritual consciousness to scan the void inch by inch, he indeed found some clues. Then he used his phantom eyes to see through and discovered the uninvited guest hiding in the dark.

"Which two friends are hiding there? Why don't you come out and see me!"

"Since you are here to pay your respects, why do you have to be so sneaky? Or do you have some shameful identity?"

"Or maybe, you want to assassinate this leader?"

Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction Lin Shan was looking.

Sure enough, two figures appeared there.

It seemed as if he knew he could no longer hide it, so he simply walked out openly and bowed slightly on the podium in front of everyone, but his courtesy was very considerate.

"Master Lin, it's been several years since we last met at the Cliff Forbidden Land, but you're still as charming as ever. Congratulations!"

Lin Shan saw who was coming, but did not return the greeting. He continued to sit in his seat without moving.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the two elders Jingxuan! Why don't you go back to Shangyang Academy to retire, and run to my Lujiang League?"

The two elders of Jingxuan.

They were born in Shangyang Academy, both were at the peak of the middle Jindan stage, their skills were of the same origin, and when they joined forces they were comparable to the late Jindan stage. They had met Lin Shan before in the forbidden area on the cliff.

But I never thought that I would come to Lujiang League today to support Shi Ensanren and others.

The two elders Jingxuan walked down step by step, came in front of the fifteen Jindan real people, and smiled bitterly.

"We have long since left Shangyang Academy and become free cultivators, unfettered by cages and nets, and can roam freely between heaven and earth. It's just that our lifespans are drawing to a close, so we need to borrow the help of Sect Leader Lin."

"No, to be precise, it is the reed jade stalactite that the ancestor of the Yang family left behind before his death!"

"Please trouble me!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan frowned slightly, wondering what flaw the Yang family ancestor had revealed when he obtained the Reed Jade Stalactite that was discovered by outsiders.

The two elders Jingxuan did not dare to covet when the ancestor of the Yang family was alive, because the great elder of the Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave were also there, and the three brothers were inseparable.

They didn't have the courage to do it at all, and only dared to come to Lujiang League to ask for it after they died.

Master Yang next to him was breathing a little faster, his heart was tight, and he unconsciously wanted to cover his storage bag, but he reacted with his strong willpower and controlled his hands to remain still.

The two elders Jingxuan glanced between Lin Shan and Master Yang, not sure who had the Lu Yu Stalactite.

The fifteen Jindan Zhenren also felt slightly moved.

They naturally knew the existence of the two elders Jingxuan, which was the reason why they dared to join the Lujiang League.

Only in the late Jindan period can one have the strength to surpass everyone else and coordinate so many forces to form a group with the same short-term goals.

Otherwise, how could the fifteen forces, each unwilling to submit to the other, spontaneously unite together?
It was precisely because of the secret leadership of the two elders Jingxuan that they had a backbone, temporarily put aside their past grudges, and put the idea of ​​dividing the Lujiang League into action.

However, they didn't know what the purpose of the two elders Jingxuan was at first.

This is the first time I heard that the ancestor of the Yang family also obtained the reed jade stalactite.

His belongings before his death must have been brought back by Lin Shan, so
Lin Shan didn't explain.

In fact, he could explain in public that the reed jade stalactite brought back by the Yang family ancestor was only two hundred years old, which was not enough to extend his life by half a century.

If these people don't believe it, he can swear on his conscience.

But it is not necessary.

After his trip to the forbidden area on the cliff, he is no longer the same A'mon from Wu. It can be said that he has been reborn.

Why bother explaining it to others?
"I see. How could these rats have the guts to come to my Lujiang League and pretend to be here to pay their respects but actually act wildly? It turns out that two fellow Taoists are backing them up."

The two elders of Jingxuan bowed deeply and spoke in unison.

"Please help me, Master Lin!"

The four great families of Wangyue City and the four sects of Lunan were already nervous, and when they saw the arrival of the two elders Jingxuan, they became even more anxious and their positions gradually wavered.

The small forces below the square were no longer making a fuss at this time. As the gap in strength between the two sides grew larger, the desire to resist would gradually be extinguished.

In the late Jindan period, when the Nascent Soul has not yet appeared, it is the peak combat power.

Only now do they remember the kindness of the Yang family's ancestor. Although the Yang family occupied most of the benefits in the past, they also bore most of the responsibilities and protected them from wind and rain.

Now, the Lujiang League is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, showing signs of being bloated.

When the two elders Jingxuan brought people to the house, everyone was in a panic and was in a state of panic.

Master Yang's palms were sweaty. He turned to look at Lin Shan and found that he was very calm, with no expression on his face. He was calm beyond his age. He couldn't help but be infected by him and calmed down his restless mood.

Lin Shan lowered his head and spoke lightly in a low voice, without any joy or sadness.

"What if I say no?"

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense to the extreme. Everyone held their breath unconsciously and their nerves became tense.

The rain is coming from the wind!
The two elders Jingxuan were as powerful as dragons, and the aura of the late Jindan period was swaying wildly in the air.

"If Sect Leader Lin doesn't give us this face, then today's memorial service will probably end in bloodshed!"
