Immortal Road.

Chapter 484: Exposed on the road, improvisation

"My Lords, I think it's time for us to come clean. When are you going to fulfill your promise and induct us into the church?"

Zuo Ning asked in a deep voice, not wanting to wait any longer.

The man in gray robe chuckled a few times, as if he had him in his hands. After all, this kid had been working for nothing for several years, and he didn't believe that he would be willing to give up all his efforts.

"Two and a half years! If you work hard for us for another two and a half years, we will recommend you to the church."

This group of young men in black exploded!
"Two and a half years?"

"It'll take another two and a half years. Are you crazy?"

"You are clearly pushing your luck. We will never listen to your nonsense again. You have absolutely no credibility at all!"

"Boss, please stop cooperating with them. It's better for us to stop the loss in time than to continue wasting time and energy."

The gray-robed people didn't mind at all. They just stood there watching them get angry with interest, waiting for Zuo Ning's final choice.

"Everyone, if you insist on squeezing us to death, then we'll have to settle the accounts of the past few years!"

Zuo Ning unexpectedly became tough at the critical moment. It seemed that he was going to get revenge for his previous grievances if they didn't agree with him, and he was even willing to fight with the gray-robed man!
"Oh? Interesting!"

The man in gray robe didn't expect that this boy would suddenly become so decisive, which was greatly unexpected.

"Remember when you came to us a few years ago, didn't you say you wanted to learn the magical power I taught you, the Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique? Are you really willing to give up halfway now?"

The young man surnamed Qin immediately rushed to curse, fearing that his elder brother would be bewitched again.

"The Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique is nothing but empty talk. Brother Zuo, don't believe them!"

Zuo Ning looked at the opposite side quietly and asked softly.

"Everyone, do you know the Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique?"

The men in gray robes all shook their heads and said frankly that they didn't.

They are merely disciples in the Qi training stage, how is it possible for them to learn even minor magical skills?
"That's it. You don't know how to do it yourself, so how can you let me learn it?"

"I originally thought that with the help of an introduction, I could enter the sect early and get close to a real big boss, so that I could obtain this technique and bring it back to prolong my father's life."

"As a result, it's just like that. You guys kept dragging it on, wasting so much time, and now you tell me I have to wait another two and a half years."

Zuo Ning's eyes were red and his chest was heaving.

He didn't want to hesitate because of sunk costs, he just wanted to obtain this technique and give it to Master Zuo to practice so that he could lock the soul and temporarily delay the end of his life.

The reason I didn't tell my father was that I didn't want him to feel guilty and worry about me.

I would rather bear the willful misunderstanding to secretly fulfill that filial piety.

And these brothers were his good friends who were willing to help others and share life and death with him when he was young.

Although they are all poor and independent cultivators, they are loyal enough. The facts of the past two years have also proved that they are all people with perseverance and courage.

Until now, she has never left him and has always followed him closely.

Therefore, he will not let go of the time wasted in the past few years. He must give an explanation not only to his brothers, but also to his old father who is about to die!
"Haha, what? Do you really want to do something to us?"

The gray-robed people were fearless. The Dali Kingdom here was an area that the Song Dynasty had no control over, and the Black Lotus Sect had also more or less established a foothold over the years.

If he fights with me, no matter he wins or loses, he will suffer the consequences!
"Of course I dare. Why not?"

Those men in black were young and energetic, with a passion in their bodies. The long-suppressed anger turned into strength and they were full of courage.

"Now we are in our territory, we will kill you to vent our anger, and then flee back to the Song Dynasty. How can you in the sect track us down? Do you dare to chase us to the Song Dynasty?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of those gray-robed men shrank slightly and they leaned back unconsciously.

Zuo Ning nodded. Since these people were of no use to him, he could only send them off as retribution for playing tricks on him for several years.

The people from the Black Lotus Sect were a little scared at first, but after looking around, they suddenly felt relieved. After all, they had a clear advantage in numbers, so why would these young guys want to kill them?

"You have to think about it carefully. Once you completely break off relations with us, everything you have done before will be null and void.

"Take it!"

Zuo Ning didn't waste any words. He just waved his hand and the brothers behind him immediately used their magic to attack.

Although the members of the Black Lotus Sect were prepared, they were still in a panic for a while and were covered in dust.

During the Qi training stage, some low- and medium-level spells can be easily mastered through diligent practice.

However, the activation of magical tools is still far slower than spells. It requires spiritual power to activate the inscriptions and cannot be done at will.

Therefore, the innate magic weapon will be born only after the Jindan stage. It is a treasure that can be activated anytime and anywhere, and its sensitivity is beyond imagination.

The fight between the two sides was somewhat unexpected.

The gray-robed man from the Black Lotus Sect was beaten so badly that he couldn't even raise his head.

The reason was that Zuo Ning was the son of Zuo Zhenren after all, and he had several high-level magical weapons on him, so no one could be his match.

And those little brothers in black were all ruthless guys who dared to fight and fight. They were not at all vague when it came to risking their lives. The people of the Black Lotus Cult exclaimed that they were too fierce.

The toad-like tool man who was usually ordered around by them now showed his fangs and was discovered to be so terrifying.

“Bang bang bang~ whoosh~~”

"Wow!"

"Ah! ú&@%%か."

The barbarians who were working were frightened. Seeing the immortal masters fighting each other over a disagreement, they were afraid of being implicated, so they hurriedly shouted in incomprehensible bird language and swarmed out of the cave.

Zuo Ning held a string of copper rings in his left hand, a staff in his right hand, and a pipe in his mouth, puffing with hot air.

The three gray-robed men on the opposite side were beaten badly by him. Every confrontation felt extremely dangerous, as if they were going to die in the next moment.

The others were also beaten by the men in black and retreated one after another.

It is true that the Black Lotus Sect is a top-tier sect, but its truly elite disciples have either died in the great war between good and evil, or have retreated to the East China Sea with the top leaders. Those who remain are nothing more than local miscellaneous factions whose true strength varies greatly and is far from the level of the top-tier sects.

"Brother Zuo, we can talk it out. I think we can sit down and talk. There's no need to fight to the death!"

Zuo Ning remained unmoved and smiled grimly.

"Then what's the meaning of you secretly taking out the photo stone? Isn't it so that you can go back and complain, and then call in reinforcements to take revenge?"

"Uh"

Several men in gray robes were too embarrassed to tuck them into their sleeves, and then they were hit by the oncoming spell, screaming and falling far away.

The leader of the gray-robed men saw the situation clearly and knew that he was no match for the rich second generation. The followers behind him were not as ruthless as those on the opposite side, so he had to shout at them to run away.

A group of people retreated in a panic, and did not forget to make harsh remarks before leaving.

"Just wait for us, kid. When the time comes, I will show the stone recording your attack to the envoy, and we will definitely seek revenge on you. Just wait! You are dead!"

And the next moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the cave, echoing clearly in the cave.

"Sorry, you don't have this opportunity." The barbarians had all run away long ago, but they didn't expect another group of people to break in openly!
“Keng!～～～”

A crisp metallic sound was heard, and light had already shone in through the cave before anyone arrived, as bright as two headlights, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.

A middle-aged nun walked in, wearing a simple gray monk's robe, holding two blue wish wheels that she had just taken off from her back.

The blue light from the two wish wheels was extremely dazzling. Even Lin Shan, who was hiding in a corner, couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw them. He shed tears due to the slight pain!

"Late Golden Core Stage!"

He was shocked, wondering who this person was and why he suddenly came here.

There was not only one nun coming, but there were also hundreds of female disciples following her. Their clothing styles were different, some were wearing grey monk robes, some were wearing pink long skirts, and some were wearing green tights.

In the world of cultivation, there are so many sects with female disciples, and they are divided into different types of inheritance lineages. Apart from Linyuzhai, the top sect in the South China Sea, there is probably no other option!
The Black Lotus Cult members were just about to run away when they were suddenly blinded by a blue light. They screamed in pain, rubbed their eyes, and fell to the ground, tears streaming down their faces.

Zuo Ning and the others also couldn't open their eyes. They covered their eyes and groaned in pain.

They were fighting each other and never thought that a third party would come in to interfere!
"Remnants of the Black Lotus Sect, you don't want to stay in the Song Dynasty, but you dare to run to my sphere of influence in the South China Sea and act wildly. You are so audacious and your crime is unforgivable!"

The cold voice of the middle-aged nun echoed in the cave, bringing only endless panic.

The members of the Black Lotus Sect were still rubbing their eyes, unable to see who was coming. They could only take out their magic weapons and hold them in front of them, asking for directions.

"Who are you? We are free to come wherever we want. Dali is inland. When did it become part of your Nanhai?"

"Hmm? What? You Nanhai?"

"Could it be."

These Black Lotus members were suddenly at a loss for words and couldn't even speak clearly.

There are many sects in the South China Sea, but who else would dare to come to the inland and speak so arrogantly, except for the top sect that has been at loggerheads with the Beast Taming Valley for thousands of years?
The middle-aged nun sneered and uttered a word.

"kill!"

Hundreds of female disciples behind him rushed up without saying a word, and it seemed that they would not leave anyone alive. No one knew how they found this place, and they seemed to be hurriedly preparing to rush to the next location.

The Black Lotus members had just recovered from their injuries, but their faces were already bloodshot and tears streaming down. When they opened their eyes, they saw the flashing of swords and sabers, and they were unable to resist at all.

"Pfft!"

"Stab!"

"Boom~"

In just a few seconds, the body fell heavily to the ground, deader than dead.

Someone picked up their storage bag and saw that it was full of Black Lotus Buddha statues. He took it back to report to the middle-aged nun, who just said a simple sentence.

"Destroy it on the spot!"

"Oh!"

The storage bag was violently destroyed, and the contents inside were crushed into powder.

"Uncle Master, how do we deal with these people?"

Zuo Ning and a few other young people stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do with their hands.

"Kill them all and let's go to the next place!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a female disciple came over and looked at them like lambs to be slaughtered.

"No, wait a minute, we are not from the Black Lotus Sect. I am here to do business."

Zuo Ning and others screamed and cried out, fearing that they would be killed by mistake.

But the people in Linyuzhai are not so easy to fool.

You assisted the Black Lotus Cult in its atrocities and secretly made and supervised the production of Black Lotus Buddha statues. This is a capital crime!
The certified physical evidence is all there and there is no way to wash it away.

After just one confrontation, the magic weapons of several people were all knocked aside and they were about to be killed on the spot!
"Huhuhu~"

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the cave for no reason, blowing the female disciples all over the place, and all their spells were blown out.

"Who is this coward who dares to interfere in the affairs of Lin Yu Zhai? Get out of here!"

The middle-aged nun swept her spiritual sense and directly locked onto a certain place in the cave.

There was a flicker of golden light, and a small lock appeared in a person's hand and was put away.

"Ahem, fellow Daoist from Linyuzhai, please don't blame me. This young man is the son of an old friend of mine. He asked me to take care of him. I can't let you kill him."

"I can testify that they are just minor rioters and are definitely not members of the Black Lotus Cult. There is no need for you to implicate innocent people."

"As the saying goes, it is better to resolve an embarrassment than to create one. How about giving me some face and letting them go?"

Zuo Ning and the others were originally waiting to die with their eyes closed, when suddenly a young man in white came out and rescued them. They were overjoyed!

Originally I thought I was doomed. This group of people must have followed the Black Lotus Cult and caused great harm to me and others. But luck turned around and there was actually a master protecting me in secret?
Son of an old friend?!
Several people thought quickly and immediately thought that it was related to Master Zuo, and hope appeared in their eyes.

It turns out that even though we were far away in Dali, Master Zuo did not forget to entrust a Jindan Master to come and protect us secretly. This is so awesome!

A few people thought about it and it made sense. Zuo Ning was the only descendant of the Zuo family. It was impossible for Zuo Zhenren to let him go out on his own and take risks, so it made sense to ask someone to look after him.

Zuo Ning felt that it was not that simple. After all, it was not necessarily easy to ask a Jindan Zhenren to come all the way to take care of him.

But now this is their lifeline, so they just have to hold on to it without thinking twice and worry about other things later.

Several people hurriedly rolled and crawled to hide behind Lin Shan.

The chicken on his shoulder turned its head and glanced at them smartly.

The people from Linyuzhai across the street did not act rashly and were also observing Lin Shan.

If it was someone else they would have taken action directly, but the Jindan Zhenren who suddenly appeared in front of them was a young Jindan!
Anyone would have to find out their origins first, especially those from large sects, who would not act rashly to avoid unnecessary diplomatic conflicts during the current confrontation with the Beast Taming Valley.

"Who are you? It seems that there hasn't been a young golden elixir in our Song Dynasty for a long time. I wonder who taught you this and from which sect?"

The middle-aged nun still held the blue wish wheel in her hands. She neither took action nor backed down. Instead, she stared at him with a questioning look.

Dali Kingdom was Lin Yuzhai's sphere of influence and a springboard for threatening the inland. She was qualified to ask outsiders this question.

After all, everything that has to do with the Black Lotus Sect must be taken seriously. This is her mission on this trip!
"Zixiao Sect, Lei Fengzi, nice to meet you, Fairy! I am sorry for causing you trouble when I passed by your precious place. I am ashamed."

Lin Shan was still shameless as always, changing his alias to different people he met. He had many aliases anyway, so he would try to get close to them.

He did this kind of thing so many times that he didn't even feel embarrassed or nervous, and most of the time he almost believed it to be true.

"Zixiao Sect, Lei Fengzi?"

The middle-aged nun looked him up and down with surprise in her eyes. The pure aura of wind and thunder was indeed strong.

"What are you doing in Dali Kingdom, the people of Zixiao Sect?"
