Immortal Road.

Chapter 464: The general trend of the world, pitting the old and the young

"Oh?"

The demon kings originally thought that everything was fine, but Lin Fan came up and said that a crisis was approaching, which drew their attention back.

The White Centipede Demon King smiled and asked back:

"I have heard a little about the situation in the Song Dynasty. How did the war between you, the righteous human race, and the evil Yan Kingdom involve the demon race of Luosong Mountain Range?"

The demon kings were not completely unaware of the outside world, and they had some idea in their minds. Lin Fan's dangerous remarks were nothing but a joke in their eyes.

The Jianjia Demon King was already unhappy with Lin Fan, so he just spoke frankly and exposed him on the spot.

"Are you trying to drag us all down with you by exaggerating?"

"."

Lin Fan's next words were aborted, and before he could continue to lay the groundwork, the other party made it clear!

All the demon kings laughed and shook their heads. After being exposed in such a hurry, this young human was deliberately exaggerating the truth. Even a fool could guess what he wanted to do.

Lin Fan discovered that the demon kings had guessed his intention, so he simply revealed his own purpose as well.

"My dear seniors, you have sharp eyes. I am here to borrow soldiers."

"However, whether it is alarmist or not, it is not too late to draw a conclusion after reading the letter from our sect leader."

"Here are the jade disc and the letter, please take a look!"

Lin Fan knew that words were not enough, so he took out the token and showed it to the other party to have factual basis.

The Jianjia Demon King ordered his subordinates to present the two items, opened them, and passed them around to the other demon kings for inspection.

They were all nonchalant at first, but after reading it, their faces became a little serious, and they started to communicate with each other through whispers in their small circle.

"Everyone, what do you think of what the Purple Sky Sect leader said in the letter?"

The Reed Demon King placed the things on the table and asked for their opinions.

The various demon kings spoke one after another, with different positions.

"The Fire Fox King of Yanyun Mountain joined the battle and killed a Yuanying stage old monster from Zixiao Sect?"

"It should be correct. We can find out the truth by sending our men out to investigate. There is no need for their leader to lie about this."

"What does the demon tribe of the Yanyun Mountains mean by this? Are they openly weakening the strength of the righteous sect of the Song Dynasty and taking sides with the evil sect of the Yan Kingdom?"

"It seems like the letter says so. It also seems like it has some ideas about our Luosong Mountains."

"That's probably impossible. The overall strength of our Luosong Mountain demon tribe is no worse than theirs. It's completely wishful thinking for them to covet us!"

"But the letter clearly states that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If the righteous path of the Song Dynasty falls, we will be the next."

"Hey, who can be scared by such a trick? The three major righteous sects have been passed down for thousands of years. They have survived many storms. Are they going to fall down just because of the death of an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage? Who are you trying to fool!"

"Too."

"It makes sense."

The demon kings had good concentration and were not frightened by the description in the letter.

Although the letter was stamped with the sect's seal, and the words of a sect leader could not be forged, the fact was nothing more than that the Yanyun front line was breached and an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage died in the Zixiao Sect.

For the Zixiao Sect, this was indeed a matter of concern, but looking at the entire Song Dynasty, Qianyun Pavilion and Yushou Valley had no reaction, so how could the monsters in Luosong Mountains feel a crisis?

Although some individual demon kings, such as the White Centipede Demon King, simply felt that the demons from the Yanyun Mountains joining the war was a bit of a violation of the rules, and expressed a little concern, they generally did not think that the Zixiao Sect would be unable to cope with it.

No matter what, the saying "the lips and teeth are interdependent" is a bit exaggerated, it shouldn't come to this.

After all, the demon kings of Luosong Mountains watched the entire battle between good and evil decades ago!

The three major sects, the Black Lotus Sect, the Blood River Hall, and the Hundred Ghosts Sect, with nine Yuanying stage masters and hundreds of thousands of troops, advanced rapidly all the way, but all were defeated in the Qinling Mountains and blood flowed for thousands of miles!
Now we are just breaking through the Yanyun defense line, the situation is far from bad.

The demon kings discussed it and decided to wait and see.

They are not the ones who are in a hurry. Let the Zixiao Sect handle it for now and send a few monsters to keep an eye on the situation. When they find something wrong, there will still be time to discuss whether to intervene.

The Jianjia Demon King collected everyone's opinions and after reaching a consensus, he left the letter here and returned the jade disc to Lin Fan.

"We understand your intention, but now is not the time to send troops. Please go back and report first. If there are any major changes in the situation, you can contact us at any time."

You can obviously find an excuse to decline, such as being too busy or being tied up in something, but the demons speak so bluntly and tell you clearly that they will not send troops.

Of course, you can communicate with us about the situation in the Song Dynasty. What happens next will depend on how the situation develops.

Lin Fan also wanted to use the various diplomatic cases he had found in ancient books before leaving to lobby, but these demon kings just wouldn't be fooled!
No matter what you say, as long as the war doesn't reach us, we will just lie still, eat and drink, and continue to play music and dance!
Only then did he realize that the stories in ancient books were pure nonsense if they were not combined with reality!

What is this, making friends far away and attacking those near, killing with a borrowed knife, taking advantage of a false path, and forming alliances.
Human nature and demon nature are inherently selfish. You won't release the eagle until you see the rabbit. It's impossible to expect others to help you just by saying a few words!

Even though he repeatedly emphasized that it was not the Fire Fox King's individual behavior but an overall conspiracy of the Yanyun Mountains, these demon kings remained indifferent.

It's good that the strength of your Great Song human race has been weakened. We will come out to clean up the situation when you are exhausted. Anyway, the human and demon races have been living in the same area for so long, and they are a bit suffocated being trapped in the Luosong Mountains all day long.

The Jianjia Demon King advised Lin Fan to be at ease, saying that the sky would not fall and the Song Dynasty would not fall so easily.

Lin Fan: "."

Of course I know the sky won't fall, and the Song Dynasty is in deep trouble, but all the pressure is put on us in the Zixiao Sect to bear it. If you are not anxious, then we are!

The Jianjia Demon King seemed to have the ability to read minds. He enthusiastically suggested that Lin Fan should go to Qianyun Pavilion and Yushu Valley to ask for reinforcements, and should not abandon the human race and run to the demon race, which was missing the forest for the trees.

Lin Fan was about to speak when his mouth was blocked again.

Of course I know that if I encounter difficulties, I should first seek help from the human race, but the problem is that both sides are also restrained by external enemies, and they all want to make fun of our Zixiao Sect and have long intended to replace us. How could they send troops to help?

The White Centipede Demon King at the side spoke at this time and said that he could show him a clear way.

"There are several Yuanying stage cultivators in the Song Dynasty who have been wandering around in Luosong Mountains recently. You can persuade these old guys to come out of the mountains. Wouldn't that greatly reduce the pressure on the front line?"

The Blue Shu Demon King and the Tapir Demon King next to them also echoed the words. They had been fed up with these old guys for a long time, and it would be best if they could be asked to leave!
Lin Fan directly stated that he did not know those great gods, and that the Zixiao Sect had no relationship with them at all, not to mention that he could not even find them.

The White Centipede Demon King could only shake his head and sigh, telling him to go back and figure out a solution himself, as we, the demon clan, can’t help him.

We don’t talk about the situation here, we only talk about friendship!
No matter how chaotic the world is, it can't affect our happy life among the mountains and rivers! Lin Fan couldn't help but glance at Lin Shan. Aren't these three demon kings your backers? Why are they making things worse?
Lin Shan shrank his head and did not speak for him this time.

He had just gotten over the incident with the sea of ​​flowers, and the Reed Demon King let him off the hook, so how could he dare to continue to make a fuss? He was eager to keep a low profile!
I don't have that much face to instigate the three demon kings to send troops to your Zixiao Sect. It's a blessing that they could plead for me just now!

The scene gradually changed from being deserted to being noisy.

The demon cave masters in the audience no longer paid attention to Lin Fan. They toasted each other and started eating and drinking. Anyway, if anything went wrong, there were tall guys to take responsibility. The demon kings still had the final say in the Luosong Mountains and they had nothing to do with it.

Lin Fan stood there alone, frowning as he pondered how to explain to his senior masters when he returned.

This script is completely different from what the Great Elder said!

When I actually arrived at the actual site and met the demon king, I realized how difficult it is to drag him into the water!
From the perspective of Zixiao Sect, the death of an elder in the Nascent Soul stage is a big deal. From the perspective of the Demon King, he is dead, so what does it have to do with me?

It doesn’t matter whether the Yanyun demon tribe sends out a full-scale army or not. Let’s wait until they reach the foot of the Luosong Mountains. Anyway, aren’t the headquarters of your three major righteous sects all in the west behind us?
It will still be in time for us to unite by then!
The demon tribe has no means of keeping the enemy out of the country, maintaining a buffer zone, or expanding strategic depth.

After all, the demon kings in Luosong Mountains are not united. Just now, two pairs of enemies stopped fighting after mediation by the Demon King Jianjia at the demon assembly.

Everyone wants to preserve their strength, so who would risk their lives for you humans?
It’s not that the demon tribe doesn’t have knowledgeable people, but when considering their own interests, the overall situation has to take a back seat.

If you want to persuade them to send troops, unless you have connections and friendships, and can use favors or interests to persuade them, it will not work simply by reasoning.

Lin Fan suddenly remembered why the Great Elder suddenly asked him to come as well when the Sect Leader gave the task to Yumuzi. It was obvious that he had anticipated this!
so.
He took out an object with some doubt. It was a thunder lotus seed that he had obtained from the thunder pool in the middle mountain of Zixiao Sect a few days ago.

This treasure was obviously extraordinary. As soon as it was taken out, a dazzling blue light instantly filled the area within a hundred meters!
Afraid that others can't see it!
"what?"

The demon kings on the stage had originally ignored him and were chatting and laughing among themselves, but suddenly they were attracted by the flash of precious light and their attention was drawn to him.

"This thing looks like a thunder lotus seed, which is quite rare."

"It is said that only the strange thunder lotus planted in the thunder pond can produce it!"

"The only place with a thunder pond in the territory of Song State is Zixiao Sect. Could this be..."

"I seem to sense a kindred spirit from it."

"That's right. This Thunder Lotus Seed is exactly the Purple Gold Thunder Lotus that our Zixiao Sect's previous ancestor brought back from the outside world and planted in the Thunder Pond in the center of the sect. It is a treasure that can only be bred once every hundred years!"

Lin Fan proudly shook the Thunder Lotus Seed in his hand and explained to the old monsters on the stage.

After hearing this, the demon kings nodded, acknowledging that this thing was indeed a treasure, and couldn't help but ask questions in confusion.

"and then?"

"And. Uh. Uh?"

Lin Fan was stunned by the question and his raised hand became slightly stiff.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the demon kings, he had no choice but to speak awkwardly.

"In the Thunder Pond in the center of our sect lives the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor, the guardian spirit beast of our sect. This Thunder Lotus Seed is the token it gave me before I came here."

He took the initiative to point it out, and then the demon kings all suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, that's what I meant. How come I can sense the aura of the demon king up there?"

"It turned out to be the Thunder Crocodile. This old guy is still alive?"

"It's hard to say, but it's possible. After all, the lifespan of the Thunder Crocodile Clan is not short. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they can't live for two or three thousand years."

"Hey, you guys are really out of touch with the news! Decades ago, when the demons attacked the Zixiao Sect, this guy fought back with flying colors, and his strength remains as strong as ever!"

"It's its business that it's willing to be a lackey for humans, but what does it mean by bringing the token to us to show us?"

Lin Fan opened his eyes wide and looked around frequently, trying to see which demon king had a relationship with the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor, so he could quickly aim at the target and try to please him.

It turned out that after listening for a long time, it seemed that the demon kings were not very interested.

Apart from acknowledging that this guy is indeed old enough in terms of seniority and his strength is worth mentioning, there is nothing else to say!

So, the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor doesn’t have any friends among the demon clan?

A lone monster?

In fact, the monsters become spiritual pets for humans and eventually become mountain guardian beasts. If they get to this point, they will basically be despised by their peers.

No matter how senior and powerful you are, in the eyes of the demon king you are just a watchdog for humans and will definitely be criticized.

In addition, the misjudgment of the Grand Elder of the Zixiao Sect, who mistakenly believed that the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor had connections in the Luosong Mountains, led to a series of misunderstandings regarding the request for help.

Lin Fan couldn't help but wonder.

He remembered the day when he broke into the Zhongshan Thunder Pool. The huge and ferocious prehistoric giant crocodile, with its bloody mouth wide open and teeth bared, boasted to him how powerful it was among the monsters in the past.

All the demon kings, big and small, in Luosong Mountains have to respectfully call him Grandpa when they see it!
result,

That's it?

I came all the way here and showed you your token, but you didn't react at all?
If you meet one or two demon kings and they don't recognize you, that's understandable. Maybe you just didn't meet the right acquaintances.

But this is a gathering of monsters!

Except for a few exceptions, most of the demon kings in Luosong Mountains have gathered here, and none of them are interested in you. Doesn't this prove a problem?
"Damn it, that old crocodile tricked me!"

Lin Fan was filled with indignation and kept cursing in his mind.

It is obvious that when the Grand Elder of Zixiao Sect was a child, he had also heard the bragging of the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor. Now both the old and the young were deceived, and the truth is revealed!
The Thunder Crocodile Ancestor gave Lin Fan the Thunder Lotus Seed because he saw potential in him. Who knew that this kid would actually use this thing to go to Luosong Mountains to find the Demon King? The key point was that he was assigned by the Grand Elder of Zixiao Sect!

These two people actually believed it!

The demon kings on the stage chatted for a while, then changed the subject and ignored him.

Anyway, the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor has long since left the demon clan and is not worthy of associating with us. In the eyes of the demon kings, its token is not even as useful as the Demon King's Order in Lin Shan's hand.

For the sake of Lin Shan, the White Centipede Demon King saw that Lin Fan was standing there alone and stupidly, so he kindly reminded him not to waste his time. He should first collect the treasures, and then go to the table below to eat and drink, so that his trip would not be in vain.

Lin Fan followed the instructions in a daze and walked towards Lin Shan's table. It seemed that this mission was a failure.

When the two brothers met again, they were speechless for a while.
