Immortal Road.

Chapter 433: Xiaoxi is ambushed and the demon king joins the battle

Master Zuo described the specific appearance of his son Zuo Ning.

Then he handed a token to Lin Shan, which was a round jade ring.

The two big characters "Yichuan" are engraved in small seal script on the front and back respectively. After being identified by the enhanced panel, it is still a fourth-level spiritual material.

"This is the shareholder soul jade of Yichuan Auction House. After I die, it will become ownerless. Please give it to Ning'er. He knows how to bind the soul and inherit it."

Master Zuo explained calmly and then left a way out.

"If we don't find him in the Song Dynasty, we can sell the jade and store the spiritual stones we get in the spiritual manor in Yichuanfang City. There will be someone to manage the trust, and the rebellious son will have something to rely on when he returns."

Lingzhuang, in the world of cultivation, is similar to a bank in the mortal world.

The trust is slightly similar to the trust institution in the previous life. Anyway, it is also a big figure in the world of cultivation, leaving a way out for the second generation of immortals.

This kind of operation can basically be performed by those who have reached the Jindan stage.

Lin Shan put it away and nodded.

Anyway, he had no hope of finding Zuo Ning.

It's normal to not find a needle in a haystack. That guy runs around everywhere all day long, where can I go by chance?
By the time the affairs of the Song Dynasty are completed and still the person has not been found, it would be a good idea to find a trust on the way back to Lu via Yichuan.

Master Zuo was originally hesitant about whether to find a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage to deliver the token, but he was afraid that ordinary people would not be able to resist the temptation and take it for themselves after he passed away.

Now Lin Shan happened to come to the door. This young Jindan must have great ambitions and look down on his Yichuan Auction House, so he could be handed over to him without any worries.

Now that the last worry has been resolved, I feel relaxed all over and my mind is enlightened.

For a moment, his shoulders moved slightly, as if a huge burden had been lifted from him and he had the strength to stand up and walk again.

Lin Shan’s spiritual awareness was not weak and he immediately noticed this change. He knew that this was the so-called “last flicker of life”.

If he hadn't come, Master Zuo might have hung on for another two months relying on his obsession.

Now I’m afraid there’s less than half a month left.

"Real person."

"Um"

The sunlight came in through the window, and it was already sunset outside.

Master Zuo narrowed his eyes, raised his head, enjoyed the intoxicating warmth, and snorted softly through his nose.

A satisfied smile appeared on the old face.

Lin Shan was silent.

Then he stood up quietly and left the place.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the old man through the beaded curtain.

In the sunset, he was at ease, humming a little tune, which seemed to be an unknown folk song.
After leaving Yichuan, Lin Shan headed south.

The Yanyun Mountains stretch between the Song Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty, and there are only a few accessible roads. In order to speed up, he chose the nearest one that can go directly to Daming Prefecture.

But I don’t know if it’s God’s trick or my fate.

When passing by a stream in the middle of the forest, he felt that the place looked familiar.

"Wow~"

A white spider web flew up from below, as if it had been lying in ambush for a long time.

Without thinking, he released the Netherworld Ghost Fire to burn the net, but found that it couldn't burn it!
The two clouds above the head suddenly stretched out their big hands and pressed down with great force.

The clear and bright blue cloud automatically protected its master, but was no match for the two wild clouds and was knocked down by their combined force.

Just fell into the spider web!

"Cotton Monster?!"

Although Lin Shan was trapped, he did not panic, but looked up at the sky in surprise.

Two large clouds stretched out their giant hands and pressed down again, trying to kill themselves.

After intensive study at Yunchuan Academy, he was no longer illiterate and had a rough understanding of some of the rare and exotic animals in the world of cultivation.

This kind of cotton monster that could disguise itself as clouds was the first time he had seen it, and judging from the attack it had just made, it was definitely at the level of a human cultivator in the late Jindan stage!

Two spider spirits several meters in size also jumped out from below, with their hairy legs spread out in all directions. They each placed themselves on the top of a different tree, spraying silk threads to block the surroundings, and were still pulling at Lin Shan in their webs.

Seeing the giant palm from the sky falling again, he took out the totem pillar from the barbarians to prop it up.

"Big, big, big, big..."

The stick rose up in the blink of an eye, becoming big and thick, breaking through the white spider web like a rubber band, and then resisting the two giant hands in the sky.

The hairy spider below let out a strange chirping cry, and then retracted the outer spider silk, and its fangs spewed venom, and two lines of water shot out with a hiss.

Lin Shan just held on to the top, but when he saw the two pools of thick yellow liquid below, he didn't dare to let this disgusting stuff spray up, for fear of polluting the clear blue sky.

He subconsciously pulled out the palm-leaf fan and swung it with force!
"Hula~"

The two water lines rolled back and scared the two hairy spider spirits!
He quickly used the spider web around him to block it, but he had no power to resist and was corroded and penetrated.

The ghost fire could not burn this spider silk, but the venom was easily dissolved, which shows how strong the toxicity is.

As it fell, the two hairy spider spirits jumped away, not daring to take the responsibility themselves, but they had no time to dodge and their hairy legs were corroded.

Fortunately, they have eight legs, so they can still jump around even if one leg is broken.

Before Lin Shan could breathe a sigh of relief, a dark blue fox demon walked out of the woods.

Its fur is shiny and smooth, like silk and brocade. Not only can it walk upright, but it can also speak!

"We can't fight for too long here. Let's deal with him as soon as possible and continue on our way to the front line!"

Lin Shan was almost frightened to death!

A demon king in the Nascent Soul stage?
However, when he took a closer look, he found that the other party was still a fourth-level demon in the Jindan period, but his cultivation had reached the peak and he was on the verge of transforming into the fifth level, so he refined the transverse bone in advance and could speak human language.

You know, even General Xiong under the command of the Demon King Kuihu could not reach the stage of refining the horizontal bone!
This shows that this monster, not to mention its combat power, is at a higher level than General Bear.

What surprised him even more was that the moment the fox demon finished speaking.

Several Jindan-stage demons walked out of the woods below, and there were over ten thousand demon beasts of various races all over the mountains.

The rolling evil energy spread out all of a sudden, and that momentum was like thick oil pouring on a raging fire, and it soared into the sky in an instant!

Isn't this the human race's passage? Why are there so many monsters here suddenly?
Play or fight?

He quickly searched:
"I am just passing by. Why are you fellow demons ambushing me?"

The dark blue fox demon was very polite. He bowed first and then spoke in a serious tone.

"Under the tent of the Fire Fox King of Eastern Yanyun, I am the Right Khan Qinghu. I am honored to meet you, Brother Dao."

"Right Khan?"

Lin Shan was puzzled. The positions of these demon tribes were so diverse that they even had a Khan.

The Tibetan blue fox demon commanded the demon army below to hurry up and not delay their journey.

While explaining to Lin Shan very seriously, his straightforwardness was not at all like the word cunning as a fox.

"Brother Dao, you came at an unfortunate time. Our demon king has just made an agreement with the State of Yan to jointly go south to divide up the northern territory of the State of Song."

"This is just the advance team. There are other Khan armies behind us. You are unlucky to have run into us." "I can't tell you too much. The Fire Fox King is at the front line of Daming Prefecture, preparing to ambush the old guy from Zixiao Sect with the Demonic Yuanying. I have to go and support him as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, if you go further ahead you will reach the front line of the battle, which is more dangerous."

The Tibetan blue fox demon talked incessantly, telling Lin Shan a lot of information all at once.

The two hairy spider spirits on the tree below, the two cotton monsters in the sky, and the demon generals on the ground all stared blankly with their eyes wide open.

Are you sure you can say this out loud?
They didn't know whether they should take action or not. What if they interrupted the boss's interest?
The more Lin Shan listened, the more panicked he became, and his heart was shaking.

Looking at the demon army all over the mountains below, passing by the stream in groups and heading south to the front line, he almost fell into them!
The navy blue fox demon was still talking eloquently, as if he was reading a military newspaper.

"I can't tell you too much. My king is conspiring with the Kingdom of Yan to break through the northern defense line within five days and defeat the Zixiao Sect in one fell swoop. Then..."

"I tell you, if I hadn't assisted the king in handling government affairs all day, I would have broken through the Nascent Soul stage and become the new generation of demon king."

"Listen to me, the king probably doesn't want to leave me, so he usually deliberately assigns me a lot of work, just to prevent me from breaking through the realm and leaving it. But I am too talented, and I will improve unconsciously."

Lin Shan was confused after hearing this. It turned out that this Right Khan of the Fire Fox King was a chatterbox?
I don't know what this demon king was thinking. He sent a big-mouthed guy as a vanguard. How can he keep it a secret?

However, since there is such a shocking conspiracy brewing on the front line, I am afraid I can't be stupid enough to go there again. It is better to take a detour.

"Enough is enough!"

"I'm telling you."

"No need to."

"No, listen to me"

Lin Shan didn't expect that there would be strange things every year, and there were especially many monsters. He didn't want to waste time talking to it, so he simply used the power of the totem pole, broke free from the spider web with a light seal, and leaped out.

Then he turned around and left, turning into a rainbow!

The cotton monster in the sky and the hairy spider spirit on the tree suddenly woke up, but were unable to stop it.

The navy blue fox demon reacted incredibly quickly. It just stretched out its claws and circles of wind whirlpools gathered around it. In the blink of an eye, a wall of wind was erected.

"Oh!"

Lin Shan was about to bang his head against the wall, but Cheng Ming Qing Yun came out at the right time to hold it for him.

"Where do you want to go, brother?"

Lin Shan didn't expect that this guy was also good at wind. He didn't believe it and used the totem pole to break the wind wall and tried to escape again.

The dark blue fox demon waved his hand lightly again, and a wind curtain covering the sky fell down.

It took Lin Shan three strikes to break the magic this time, and the dark blue fox demon just smiled at him the whole time without making any unnecessary moves.

The two cotton monsters and the hairy spider spirit became annoyed and attacked from above and below together.

As a result, the spider web didn't tie up anyone, but instead tied up the two cotton monsters tightly!
It turned out that Lin Shan saw that the situation was not good and had already disappeared using the Wind Escape Talisman.

The cotton monster was extremely strong and tore the spider web apart in one go, then angrily started fighting with the hairy spider spirit.

The dark blue fox demon shrugged, ignored his subordinates who were fighting among themselves, and his body trembled, leaving only a wisp of green smoke in its place.

Hundreds of miles away, Lin Shan appeared.

After using it several times in a row, I felt it was enough to get rid of those monsters and was just about to put it away.

"Shu~"

The sound of wind was heard behind him, and a dark blue fox demon emerged, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"???"

This was the first time that Lin Shan encountered an opponent who, like himself, had the ability to escape the wind.

If it was just an ordinary wind escape technique, it would be impossible for it to catch up with me.

He didn't have time to think about it. Knowing he was no match for his opponent, he quickly continued his wind escape to the north.

The navy blue fox monster laughed a lot, as if it had found an interesting prey and wanted to catch it and play with it.

The two chased each other and ran for thousands of miles.

Lin Shan cursed in his heart, these demons must be crazy for chasing him. I am just a casual cultivator, am I bothering you or what?

The Tibetan Blue Fox Demon rarely encountered a human cultivator of the Wind Element, and did not want to let him go easily.

But while he was chasing, he suddenly received some news and paused.

He stood there and listened to a few words, his face turning pale and blue. While he was hesitating, Lin Shan had already run away and disappeared.

It won’t be easy to catch up anymore.

It thought about it and decided that its own mission was more important. That guy could also use wind escape, so it might take some time to catch him.

He couldn't delay the Demon King's important matter, so he had to put it aside temporarily and put the overall situation first.

Then turned and left.

Lin Shan changed directions continuously and used the Wind Escape Talisman sparingly. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he found that no one was catching up with him.

From this point of view, going south might not be feasible.

Regardless of whether the Tibetan blue fox demon was trying to scare him on purpose or it was true, the Demon King and the Demon Lord jointly launched a surprise attack, which must be on a large scale, and it would be too dangerous for him to go there.

So if you want to go to the Song Dynasty, the only way is by land or by sea.

If you want to be safe, it would be a safer option to go east to the coast of Yan State first, then turn south to the East China Sea, and enter the Song Dynasty from the Jianghuai area in the rear.

The East China Sea is vast and sparsely populated, making it very suitable for traveling alone. It is also not easy to be discovered. The coastline behind is so long that there are many options for landing.

During the conversation between Yi Chuan and Zuo Zhenren, he also gained a general understanding of the current situation between the two countries.

Overall, Yan State had a slight advantage and Song Dynasty took a defensive stance.

This is also the reason why the righteous suffered heavy losses after the great war between good and evil.

During that period, the reason why Yan State did not take advantage of the civil strife to launch a full-scale attack was that it was afraid of provoking a full-scale backlash from both the good and evil sides. By then, if they united against the outside world, it would backfire and would not be in line with their goals.

Therefore, they waited until the three demonic sects retreated to the East China Sea before decisively sending troops to take advantage of the situation.

At that time, the righteous path was preparing for a sea crossing campaign to drive out the three evil sects once and for all. It was already a difficult situation, so it had to grit its teeth and lose a large piece of land in order to recover the East China Sea first.

The Yan State was not in a hurry either. It advanced step by step and slowly digested the occupied territories. After that, it launched new rounds of advances.

The point when Lin Shan returns happens to be the time when the west and the east are about to start fighting again!

But there are two sides to every coin, let’s look at it from another angle.

Although fighting would block his way forward, waste a lot of time, and take a long detour.

However, most of the attention of the Song Dynasty was drawn to the front line, which made it convenient for him to fish in troubled waters in the rear.

Especially when he learned that the remnants of the Black Lotus Cult were still there, his heart began to stir again.

I used to be a messenger of the Demon Cult, and now I have reached the Golden Core Stage, so I must be a Dharma Protector!
what?
You said there is no canonization of a Dharma King in the Nascent Soul stage?

The Dharma Kings in the Nascent Soul stage are all in the far north, and the Song Dynasty has probably been forgotten by them long ago. Where can I find them?
Besides, aren’t local Jindan-stage protectors like Yan Yuanchun also self-proclaimed?
I claimed to be the protector of the Demon Cult, took over and recruited the remaining followers, and infiltrated the remaining branches of the Demon Cult.

Isn't this the most normal thing?

It makes sense and there is nothing wrong with it!
