Immortal Road.

Chapter 489: Backstabbing on the spot, going separate ways
While he was thinking, the situation on the battlefield below changed rapidly.

The Black Lotus Sect disciples suffered a crushing defeat and were covered in blood. They were beaten to their knees and begged for mercy by Lin Yuzhai's three-veined disciples. Many of them became desperate and attempted to betray the sect to save their lives.

Except for a few smart people who know that surrender is impossible and giving up resistance will mean death, most people still feel that there is no hope and there is no point in struggling.

What overwhelmed their psychological defenses was not the battlefield in the air, but a Jindan-stage demon bird above their heads!

Brother Ji was hanging in the air above the cave, directing Zuo Ning to move around, but no one he targeted could escape.

You said you should fight back, but there is a Jindan stage demon bird watching you from above, pointing out your flaws continuously. And who knows if the demon bird will take action if you really kill the guy in front of you?
Most likely.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this demon bird is here to protect this kid.

But if you don't resist and just run away, Brother Ji will personally bring you back and force you to train with Zuo Ning!
All the members of the Black Lotus Sect were terrified. This kind of unknown waiting was the most painful, and no one wanted to be the next sparring partner.

It's simply cheating!
It’s not that Protector Wang didn’t see the chicken, nor did he want to deal with it to stabilize the morale of the army, but he was being suppressed by Master Jinglin and had no time to spare.

Moreover, it is obvious at first glance that the demons who can speak are no ordinary people!

It would be fine if I didn't join the war, but once I joined, I would be even more unable to resist.

There were constant cries and screams for mercy from those below, but the female disciples of Linyuzhai were all ruthless and merciless, and would not accept any surrender at all. They were told in advance that no one would be spared alive.

We can't let any of them escape because there is still a branch altar that has not been cleaned up.

When the great rout began and chaos reigned, the Black Lotus army lost all morale and scattered in all directions, running wildly towards various cave entrances.

When Protector Wang saw that the foundation he had worked so hard to build up over many years was destroyed, he was not as angry as he had imagined.

He just looked down with a bleak expression, with infinite reminiscence in his eyes.

He once inherited the heavy responsibility of the previous guardian and led his followers in hiding. Finally, in his own lifetime, he waited for the return of the demon army from the Lu State headquarters.

Unite with the local factions in the six regions of the Song Dynasty as guides and strive to restore the former glory.

In the successive battles, he gradually saw the light of hope, but failed at the last moment. Most of his followers were wiped out, and he could only lead the remnants back to his hometown and continue to live.

The strength and determination of the righteous forces in encircling and suppressing the enemies have become stronger and stronger after the great war between good and evil. If they really get serious, they will be found out no matter how hard they try to hide.

So there was no choice but to form a group and run away to Nanman together.

After experiencing lows again and again, those old people back then have long since died or scattered, and only a few are willing to go into exile with them.

Most of these disciples who came after were recruited along the way.

He no longer had the emotions he had in the past, and even when he saw them dying tragically and crying for help, he remained calm and indifferent.

The more you experience, the more you will let go of many things. As long as you are still alive, who can't pull you up?
He glanced at Elder Xiao from the corner of his eye and moved closer inadvertently.

Elder Xiao was sweating profusely at this time. He didn't care about anything else and concentrated on dealing with the pressure brought by Master Jinglin.

This kind of person, who is similar to the deputy peak master level, usually has to put on a smiling face in Zixiao Sect on weekdays, because he is an elder of the outer sect and is in awe of the powerful figures in the inner sect.

Now, fighting with such a person was something he had never thought of.

Moreover, Master Jinglin was fighting one against two, so naturally he would pick on the weaker one first. Most of the pressure was on him, making him flustered for a while.

But what he overlooked was that Protector Wang was not truly of the same mind as him, and the two had only known each other for half a day, so it was impossible for them to depend on each other for life and death.

At the critical moment, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind, and he had no time to dodge!

"not good!"

“Tsk, tsk, tsk~”

It felt like something bitten my waist, and my whole body instantly became paralyzed. My magic power could still function, but my body couldn't move!

Protector Wang took advantage of this opportunity, turned around and rushed outside!

"you!."

Elder Xiao's eyes widened. He was fighting well when suddenly he was stabbed in the back. I wasn't ready to escape yet, why did you run away first!
After all, he was led by Lei Fengzi, and there was no movement from Lei Fengzi's side, so it was naturally impossible for him to run away first. As a result, he was attacked first by Protector Wang. It would rather die than let my friend die.

"Protector Xiao, I'm sorry, I can't die. The Black Lotus Sect needs me, so I have to let you down!"

Although Protector Wang said nothing on the surface, he was quite particular in private and knew how to communicate through telepathy.

Master Jinglin glanced at the rainbow light that was escaping into the distance, but did not chase it. Instead, he continued to deal with Elder Xiao.

Because it is not so easy to take down a Jindan in the late stage in a short time, not to mention that the other party is determined to escape.

If she went after him and left Elder Xiao to Lin Shan and the demon bird, it was not impossible, but she was worried about the many female disciples of Linyuzhai below.

After all, when you go out with a team, you have to take care of your younger generations by yourself and cannot rely on others. This is human nature.

The pressure on Elder Xiao increased dramatically, and his feet felt like they had taken root. The poison in his waist spread throughout his body, and in the blink of an eye it surged up to his face, revealing a zombie-like blue color.

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but ask Lei Fengzi for help while eating pills crazily. He had accumulated detoxification pills for hundreds of years, and he didn't know if they were expired or not, but he just stuffed them all into his mouth!

The moment of life and death is crucial.

Lei Fengzi was being beaten and was pinned down by Lin Shan so hard that he couldn't even lift his head. If he hadn't been strong enough, he would have collapsed and run away.

Finding that Elder Xiao was in danger, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms without time to think and threw it directly at Elder Xiao!
"then!"

Elder Xiao was overjoyed, knowing that the antidote inside must be of precious elixir grade. Once he took it and restored his mobility, he would have hope of escaping!
I was really unlucky today. I thought it would be so easy to infiltrate the Black Lotus Sect and make great contributions to become successful from now on. However, I didn't expect that Lin Yuzhai would come to kill me and I was tricked by the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect and became a scapegoat!
When I escape, I will make the people of the Black Lotus Sect pay!

But just as he was holding back Master Jinglin and was eagerly preparing to take the small bottle.

Suddenly, a hateful iron mouth snatched away his life-saving medicine!
"call out!"

A chicken returned to the bottom, flapping its wings and crowed, and threw the small porcelain bottle directly into Zuo Ning's hand.

"Oh oh oh! Just in time for you to use it, hurry up and take it, and go find someone to fight with!"

Zuo Ning was as tired as a dead dog. He had no idea how many people he had fought with. It was common for the Demon Cult to poison people. He was poisoned several times and was just waiting to ask Lin Shan for help after the fight.

As a result, Brother Ji directly snatched away Lei Fengzi's detoxification pill.

After taking one, my face becomes visibly rosy, my fatigue disappears, and I feel refreshed!
What kind of elixir is this? It's so powerful?!

Zuo Ning was greatly encouraged, and his aching right shoulder suddenly felt full of strength!

"Kunshan, rely on it!"

He just happened to see a hapless guy beside him who was in a panic, and he knocked him against the wall of the cave with a Kunshan kick, and he was almost dead. Then his shoulders shook up and down wildly, and he had already mastered the back-swaying to release the force.

The guardian Xiao in the air was so angry that his eyes were about to burst! A mouthful of blood spurted out instantly!

"My Baodan!"

His face turned increasingly darker. Protector Wang's paralyzing poison was very effective. He wanted to buy himself time to escape, so he couldn't just suppress it.

Zhenren Jinglin saw it all, and he pinched the magic spell in his hands, with a bright blue light, and pressed forward step by step, not forgetting to praise Brother Ji.

"here you go!"

Lei Fengzi was dumbfounded. This precious pill was taken out from the treasury in the peak by his master before he went down the mountain to Nanman, in order to prevent him from having any accidents. It was given to him for emergency use at the critical moment.

In the end, he didn't use it. Elder Xiao was poisoned, and he couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so he let a chicken take away his life!

The key point is, it was given to a small fry in the Qi training stage to eat!

You are only in the Qi training stage, do you really need to eat such a precious pill? ? ?

Zuo Ning displayed his extraordinary power below, and felt that he had endless strength all over his body. Kunshan could use it casually, and no matter how much his shoulder was overdrawn, his body could recover instantly, inadvertently helping him achieve a brief period of skill freedom.

Elder Xiao was unable to move and could only hold on, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he would surely die if he stayed!

"Elder Xiao!"

Lei Fengzi was extremely anxious and asked him through voice transmission how his health was and how long it would take to be released from his confinement and regain his freedom.

Elder Xiao was surrounded by blue ribbons, and the rippling water waves made his figure so hazy, with flames dancing strangely inside. Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times, but if they were to merge and then collide, the power of the explosion could be imagined.

It was like a dream inside, and all one could hear were various sounds of fierce fighting. Elder Xiao was trying his best to resist, but his body was gradually becoming hunched over, and the blue color was becoming increasingly intense.

"Let's go."

Suddenly, an old sigh came from inside, echoing in Lei Fengzi's ears.

"Elder Xiao?"

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Elder Xiao was transmitting the message in a hurry; the situation had become so critical that no time could be lost.

"Go away, don't worry about me. I can't leave. Remember to report to the sect when you go back. I died in the line of duty!"

"Elder, if we reveal our identities, Lin Yuzhai may not dare to kill us."

Lei Fengzi looked reluctant and didn't care whether it was a cross-dressing or not. The most important thing was to save his life first.

"It's useless. Go away."

Elder Xiao's voice gradually weakened, and he was suffering from a heavy blow.

"Master Jinglin, we are actually from the Zixiao Sect, and we have come to Nanman specifically to investigate and destroy the Black Lotus Sect! I am Lei Fengzi, and that is my sect's outer sect elder."

The fight inside was in full swing. Master Jinglin's face was blurry and his expression could not be seen clearly. It was also unknown whether he heard anything or not, but he did not stop attacking.

Lei Fengzi was still shouting loudly over there.

"Master Jinglin, we are really from the Purple Sky Sect. We sneaked into the Black Lotus Sect and pretended to be friendly with them just to catch them in one fell swoop!"

There was still no response there.

His opponent Lin Shan had a blank expression on his face and didn't explain anything. He just pressed the two of them down.

When Protector Liang saw Protector Wang running away, he wanted to follow him, but his magic fire was entangled by the Netherworld Ghost Fire and he could not separate for a while.

His magic fire has not yet been able to condense into a fire seed, because it is not his innate magic fire. Unlike Lin Shan’s Netherworld Ghost Fire, which was the innate fire of the guardian Qiu of the Jiuyou Sect, he left behind a fire seed for refining after his death. As long as the fire seed is there, it can continuously give rise to flames.

If we give up now, all our previous efforts will be wasted!
Seeing that one has been practicing the magic fire for sixty years and will be able to condense the fire of life in a few decades, who can be willing to give up halfway?

He just wanted to take back the magic fire and retreat while the young man in white and Elder Xiao could still hold on, following Protector Wang.

But how could Lin Shan let him get what he wanted so easily?

He secretly mobilized his soul power and poured it all into the Netherworld Ghost Fire. The dark green soul fire burned vigorously, and "boom" it immediately enveloped the magic fire of Liang Protector!
"呲~"

Protector Liang felt a chill all over his body, not only because of the invasion of the Netherworld Ghost Fire through the Demon Fire, but also because of his mood at the moment.

He wanted to run away, and he treated the disciples below him like grass, but the problem was that he had been refining the magic fire for a whole sixty years, and this was it.
Just as he made up his mind and gritted his teeth to let go.

Elder Xiao's final voice transmission was filled with determination.

Lei Fengzi had known him for many years, but had never encountered such a situation. Although they were very close, it seemed as if they were worlds apart. The blue field where water and fire blended together became an insurmountable chasm!
"Go! Go."

Lei Fengzi did not hesitate any longer. He deeply remembered the hazy Zhenren Jinglin and engraved the voice and appearance of this middle-aged nun firmly in his mind. He turned around and rode away on the lightning in a whoosh!

He even threw away the magic weapon in his hand and threw it directly over to block the final blow!
"Crack!"

The totem pole was swept past, breaking it in two.

Lin Shan was trying harder, intending to capture both men, but Lei Fengzi's departure directly led to the guardian Liang leaving as well.

I don’t want any of it, whether it’s magic fire or not.

The two of them ran separately, one on the left and one on the right, in tacit understanding, to avoid being caught in the same trap.

In fact, it was also because Protector Liang couldn't catch up with Lei Fengzi and didn't want to take the blame for him.

What Lin Shan faced was the question of who to chase.

pick one of two.

He really wanted to chase after Lei Fengzi and deal with this middle school boy who was pretending to be him and ruining his reputation, so as to prevent him from spreading the fake Buddhist name everywhere.

But Lei Fengzi also has the dual spiritual roots of wind and thunder and they are practicing together. It is not certain whether he can catch up with him without the Wind Escape Talisman.

As for Liang Hufa, he just didn't know if he had the Black Lotus Buddha statue that he cared about the most! Could he harvest the ancient charm?
In comparison, between money and face, Lin Shan chose the former!
What is face in front of ancient charm?
"The remnants of the Black Lotus are unforgivable. Even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth today, I will definitely kill them!"

He spoke righteously, as if he was so upright, but in fact, he was just putting on a show and went straight after Protector Liang!

Brother Ji glanced casually at him and ignored him. He continued to instruct Zuo Ning and let him chase whoever he wanted.

"Peng~"

The Netherworld Ghost Fire completely devoured the Demon Fire and completed its mission.
