Immortal Road.

Chapter 473: Dumbhead, the Golden Horde

Patriarch Lu Que pressed forward step by step, and it seemed that he was very interested in the chicken head.

"Wait a minute, ancestor. Don't be impulsive!"

Lin Shan and Lin Fan spoke out to persuade them and explained the disadvantages of chicken heads.

"The chicken neck is too small. If it is placed on the neck, the blood supply will be insufficient and it is easy to get glaucoma!"

"Chickens have poor night vision, cloudy and dim vision, severe astigmatism, and are prone to cataracts!"

"The chicken's mouth is narrow, it's uncomfortable to eat, and it leaks when drinking water, which is very inconvenient!"

"A long comb doesn't look good, and a middle part will damage its dignity!"

Patriarch Lu Que was originally quite interested, but after being fooled by these two people, he became slightly shaken.

"Ancestor, I actually don't want to change my head, but the original deer head is gone, and the only suitable one is a chicken head. You guys say that the chicken head is not good, so what should I do?"

Brother Ji tried frantically to save himself, fearing that he would be chopped to death.

"Oh, oh, ancestor! Humans are the leaders of all spirits. Compared to a chicken's head, a human head is of course better! I am a chicken myself, stupid and dumb, how can I tarnish your wisdom?"

Patriarch Lu Que was very annoyed by what they said. He felt as if ants were crawling on his body and yelled in madness!
"Noisy!"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Patriarch Lu Que pointed and said, "Since the chicken head is not suitable, I will change it to a human head. It's you!"

Lin Shan, Lin Fan, and Brother Ji all turned around and looked at Yumuzi.

"???"

Yumuzi's hands were shaking and he was screaming "Fuck" in his heart.

Are you three just passing the ball here?
You keep cheating me, and now it’s my turn?

Ever since I left the mountain gate, I've always had bad luck when I met you guys. It's really like seeing a ghost!
However, the crisis was approaching, and sensing the hungry breath of ancestor Lu Que, he had to find a way to save himself.

"Ancestor, you must not do this!"

"I'm so dumb that I can't even compare to other people. Even a chicken is smarter than me!"

"If you were to replace my head, your wisdom would be lost!"

Patriarch Lu Que paused, his mind froze.

"A blockhead? Aren't you a human? No matter what, your head is not a human head."

Yumuzi quoted from classics and racked his brain to make up stories. It has to be said that honest people sometimes talk nonsense when they are pushed into a corner.

"I have been practicing the Sangyuxuan Wood Skill since I was young. This skill focuses on the way of wood spirits and is the mountain-guarding skill of the Sangyu Peak lineage of the Zixiao Sect."

"This method is too rigid and obscure. I have been practicing it for decades, but the more I practice, the slower I become. Not only has my entire body turned into wood, but my skin has even more wood texture."

"Whenever the elders check on my homework, my stupid brain would shut down immediately. No matter how they called me, I couldn't remember anything. I missed many important occasions!"

"The senior already lacks brains and needs to make up for his lack of wisdom. How can you choose a wooden head that is not worth cultivating?"

"It makes sense!"

Ancestor Lu Que, Lin Shan and Lin Fan, and even Brother Ji couldn't help but nod their heads. This speech was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.

but
Judging from your current reaction, you are not slow!
Ancestor Lu Que was sometimes smart and sometimes confused. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and thought that Yumuzi had good eloquence and a quick mind, so the situation should not be as serious as he said.

"Okay, I won't change it. You're just a blockhead. I'll take you!"

"What???"

Yumuzi was shocked and couldn't understand the thought process of Ancestor Luque. Are you stupid or what? Can't you understand what people say?
In fact, not only is Ancestor Lu Que lacking in nerves, he is also lacking in a brain!
The first three are in conflict with the skills, attributes, and race respectively. After much thought, Yumuzi's head is the most suitable.

"Give me the head!"

Patriarch Lu Que attacked as soon as he disagreed with something. Two blue lights shot out from his chest, about the thickness of a thumb, and moved at an extremely fast speed!

In particular, one could vaguely see two beast souls also rushing along the blue channel, and the next moment Yumuzi's screams were heard.

"what!!!"

Two transparent figures were dragged back along the blue channel. They were two of Yumuzi's three souls and seven spirits. The soul threads behind him were constantly torn apart, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

Old Ancestor Lu Que walked over calmly and stretched out his hand to take off his head.

"Bah!"

At this critical moment, how could Lin Fan sit idly by and watch his fellow brother die?
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm flashed across the sky with incredible power, directly breaking the blue soul power channel. The two beast souls inside let out a hiss, and hurriedly dropped the souls they were carrying and returned to Ancestor Lu Que.

Looking over here, the blue-patterned talisman in Lin Fan's hand lost its spirituality, fell from his hand, and turned into ashes before hitting the ground.

In order to save people, he used his minor magical power, the Thunder Talisman, in a hurry to interrupt the fatal attack of Ancestor Lu Que.

"Why did your cousin stop me?"

Ancestor Lu Que roared at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan tried to stop the fight: "He and Yumuzi were brothers from the same sect, how can we bear to see him die?"

Ancestor Lu Que was furious and started cursing loudly.

"Okay, okay, my guess was correct, Old Ancestor. My head is in the hands of you Zixiao Sect members. No wonder you tried every possible means to stop me!"

Yumuzi's two souls returned to their places, and he barely regained consciousness. He had been frightened out of his wits, and without saying a word, he started to use the Wood Release Technique.

slipped away!

"Shu~"

Only fallen leaves were left on the spot, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

However, because his Wood Release Technique was only a spell and had not yet risen to the level of supernatural power, he could only see the green figure flash by from a hundred meters away.

In other words, each Wood Release technique only has a range of about a hundred meters, which is close to the spiritual awareness range of the Foundation Establishment Period.

Ancestor Lu Que mainly cultivates soul power, and his spiritual awareness is even stronger than Lin Shan. How could he let him escape?
He was just about to chase after him, but when he remembered that there were three accomplices here, he couldn't help but hesitate.

His hesitation actually scared the other three!
Lin Shan escaped with the Wind Escape without saying a word, Lin Fan also had the Thunder Escape at his disposal, and Brother Ji was even more amazing, he jumped up with his wings spread, and disappeared in a flash of five-colored light.

Patriarch Lu Que hesitated for a moment, then aimed at Yumuzi and chased after him.

He guessed that his deer head should be on Yumuzi. Lin Shan's cousin Lin Fan favored the people of Zixiao Sect, so he didn't want to see him attack Yumuzi. That just didn't go as he wished!
After running for a while.

Lin Shan stopped to rest and wait for the people behind him.

Lin Fan's lightning speed was not slow, and he caught up with him almost the moment he stopped. Brother Ji took about half an incense stick to fly over. As soon as he came up, he flapped his wings and cursed the two of them:

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to run away? Are you planning to leave me behind?"

"Besides, why don't you take me with you?"

"If it weren't for my Kun Xiang technique that allowed me to fly quite fast, I would have been caught by that old monster behind me and it would have been disastrous!"

Lin Shan and Lin Fan looked ashamed and apologized softly.

"I'm really sorry, we thought you had wings and must have some flying-related racial ability, so we left first. Aren't you coming out too?"

Brother Ji was furious. He jumped onto Lin Shan's shoulder and patted the two brothers on the head, almost pecking them with his iron beak.

"What flying ability? I'm not a flying bird. I'm a ground bird, a walking chicken. Do you understand?"

“I understand, I understand, I understand”

Lin Shan and Lin Fan knew they were in the wrong, so they did not dare to argue and kept admitting their mistakes.

At the same time, I am a little confused about the incoherent words of Brother Ji and what kind of Kunxiang technique he knows. Doesn’t the name sound like a flying technique?
Being able to barely catch up with our minor magical powers of wind and lightning, is that not considered a magical power?
However, Brother Ji also has many secrets. Besides, as the young master of the Peacock Clan, it is impossible for him to not have any cards up his sleeve, so it is not convenient to delve into it.

"What should we do next? Should we go to meet them or..."

Lin Shan looked at Lin Fan and asked for his opinion.

Lin Fan shook his head and told him that it was not necessary.

"Brother Yumuzi has the Wood Release Technique. Even if he can't shake off the pursuers, it shouldn't be easy for the headless Luque to catch up in a short time."

"Anyway, this place is very close to the two major pass cities and the imperial capital of Luosong Mountain Range. The East Gate Pass and Jiangxia Water Village are both vital thoroughfares that connect the east and west of the Song Dynasty. There are Jindan Zhenren from the orthodox sects living here, and there are large formations set up here."

"Brother Yumuzi, as long as you flee to a nearby place and ask for help from the sect and wait for someone to pick you up, your life will not be in danger."

"We are all in a hurry. There is no need to waste time here. Let's just go directly to the capital, Bianliang."

After hearing this, Lin Shan agreed, and Brother Ji had no objection either.

Anyway, they didn't have much friendship with Yumuzi, and their fellow disciple Lin Fan said that everything was fine, so there was no need to pretend to be warm-hearted.

The two men and the demon calmed themselves down and set off again.

What made Lin Shan feel a little heavy-hearted was the wind escape talisman that he strengthened before going to the forbidden area on the cliff in Lu State, which helped him avoid danger many times.

Finally, I have used up all the times.
Bianliang.

The capital of the Song Dynasty, a thousand-year-old ancient city.

It has gone through many vicissitudes of life and has been baptized by wars, but it is still as simple and heavy as ever.

Decades ago, two major wars took place here.

They were the coalition forces of the three evil sects attacking the Zixiao Sect that was defending the place alone, and later the coalition forces of the three righteous sects counterattacked and recaptured the city.

Two major battles in the world of cultivation nearly razed the entire city to the ground.

The civilians suffered heavy casualties, and countless were displaced.

However, nearly forty years have passed, and this place has been rebuilt because it is the place where the dragon vein is revived.

The Song Dynasty royal family is just a puppet. As long as the three major righteous sects behind them do not fall and they have no intention of changing a spokesperson, their rule will be as solid as a rock.

Sporadic rebellions and uprisings in the mortal world can never overthrow a regime or change a dynasty.

Of course, except for very few exceptions.

For example, in Beiyuan and parts of Hetao, because of the call of new Nascent Soul cultivators, the sects and families in the area were forced to follow suit and split up the territory and break away from the Song Dynasty.

Lin Fan also talked about this with Lin Shan on the way, and Lin Shan was also very familiar with this character.

Blood River Palace, Yin Wuming.

This person is very famous, and almost everyone in the cultivation world in the Song Dynasty knows him.

During the war between good and evil, he had already risen to fame, made great achievements in the Demonic Alliance, and earned a great reputation!

Together with the Zixiao Sect's Nascent Soul seed and the leader of the younger generation "Lei Yinzi", they are known as the two new stars of righteousness and evil, and are the most promising heroes to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Shan had met this legendary genius three times!
He remembers every time clearly.

The first time was when he was in the Qi training stage. After exploring the ruins of the Jiangdong Huanxi Sect, he went to the East China Sea with Lin Fan to attend Master Gui’s birthday celebration.

At that time, the three demon sects happened to attack from afar. Diaobie Island is located in the southern center of the East China Sea and is a strategic location, so the demon sect sent a total of three Jindan stage guardians to take action.

However, out of consideration for Master Gui's strength, and to ensure the successful capture of Diaobie Island, the Xuehe Palace sent Yin Wuming to lead the battle.

Facts have proved that Master Gui is not just a name, he has actually condensed half of the Dharma image in the Jindan stage. If it weren’t for a top genius like Yin Wuming who has cultivated to the late Jindan stage, he would not be able to suppress it!

After this battle, Master Gui left his hometown and wandered around. Because of the hatred he held, he often caused trouble for the evil sect in the East China Sea.

The Demonic United Front Department then set up a "Joint Detective Team", with Yin Wuming as the team leader, to personally search for those who jumped the most violently.

This marked the beginning of Master Gui’s nightmare. He was blocked and beaten severely several times, and his space for movement and survival became smaller and smaller.

The second time, he became a messenger of the Demon Cult in Lin Shan and went to the Ezo Sea to preach. He accidentally cursed the orifice-eating worm, causing the seriously injured Master Gui to backfire and die, and then he obtained all his inheritance.

Yin Wuming also led the joint detective team of the three evil sects to chase after him. After a fruitless search, he ordered Lin Shan to cooperate with the investigation and detained him for a full six months before letting him go.

It was a good experience for me to experience the tyranny of this genius.

The third time was when the Demonic Path was completely defeated and on the road to the battle royale, Lin Shan and Yin Wuming fell into the hands of the "King of Dharma" who was attacked by the power of billions of incense sticks and wishes.

Under the strong pressure and encouragement from the third personality, "Martial Arts Sword Saint" Ma Yuanjue, they work together to compete for the spot of the only true disciple.

It was also at that time that Lin Shan was taken seriously by Yin Wuming because he beat everyone else and came out on top.

Later that night, three Yuanying elders of Zixiao Sect arrived together, and Sword Saint Ma Yuanjue was alone to cover the retreat. Lin Shan led his fellow demon brothers to escape back to the East China Sea, and Yin Wuming also took advantage of the chaos to escape and his whereabouts are unknown.

Unexpectedly, just over half a century later, when I returned to the Song Dynasty, I heard the rumor that this person had successfully conceived a baby and established the Golden Horde in the north!
"Yin Wuming has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He probably doesn't have the guts to challenge the Song Dynasty directly. He probably has the support of various sects in the Great Yan Kingdom's cultivation world behind him."

Lin Fan was filled with emotion when he spoke of this.

Yin Wuming of the Blood River Palace was truly a legendary figure. He did not follow the demon army to retreat back to Lu State. Instead, he stayed in the Song Dynasty and grew tenaciously until he became a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage!
Ally with the State of Yan, make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones, become independent and survive in the cracks, and leap from a chess piece to a chess player!
In the world of cultivation, everyone talks about it with great relish and calls it amazing.

"We have no right to interfere with Yin Wuming's affairs. Zixiao Sect has already sent a Yuanying-stage elder to Beiyuan to investigate. I think Qianyun Pavilion and Yushou Valley will also send people to take over this matter. It's too early for us to get involved at this level."

Lin Fan simply told his brother about the general situation in the world so that he would not be completely in the dark. At the same time, he reminded him to stay as far away from the remnants of the three evil sects as possible.

On the surface, Lin Shan naturally agreed repeatedly, but as for what he really thought in his heart, outsiders had no idea.
