Immortal Road.

Chapter 519: When we meet again, the offensive and defensive situation changes
"After I tortured the soul in the Deer Head with all kinds of torture, it finally confessed its soul magic to me!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was very proud, and his words seemed to contain an intention of asking for credit and reward.

Lin Shan nodded slightly, and then asked whether the method of refining the soul treasure had been found.

It didn't say anything about this.

The art of colonization is the specialty of the ancestor Lu Que, so naturally he would never reveal it even if he was beaten to death. It would be useless even if he used all his skills.

"Master, this is not a solution. The headless man has been blocking the mountain gate. Our disciples inside the sect cannot go out, and the disciples outside the sect cannot come back. How can we complete the mission? Many things have been delayed, not to mention that the northern front also needs support."

Master Zhan Kong kept complaining, but Lin Shan simply waved his hand to interrupt him.

"and many more!"

"Northern Front? Support? What's going on here?"

What happened during his years of seclusion? It seems like a lot is going on in the outside world.

Zhong Shenxiu and Shui Bingyue are back, and ancestor Lu Que has also come to visit, and there is a problem in the north again.

It's only been thirty years, and there are so many problems without me?
Then will I be able to walk around in the future?
He actually didn't realize that he should look for the causes of many problems within himself instead of blaming his subordinates.

"The Chixiao City and Happy Forest on the northern front were already separated 20 years ago!"

"The Lord of Chixiao City and the Second Master of Happy Forest, who are supported by our Xun Gu Sect, and the Deputy Lord of Chixiao City and the First Master of Happy Forest, who are supported by the Cultivation Family and Merchants, are fighting against each other from the north to the south."

"It is said that the infighting has now reached a fever pitch, with conflicts emerging one after another."

Lu Xiuming read out the movements on the northern front, which were roughly balanced, with both forces divided into two camps.

Lin Shan really didn't expect that thirty years had passed and the problem in the north had not been resolved yet.

The merchants of the cultivation families, it’s endless, right?
"Didn't you say hello to the Lujiang League?"

"The Lujiang League did not act rashly, because this is a one-on-one battle between the Xun Gu Sect and the Shang Shang. If the sect leader uses the power behind him to intervene, the Shang Shang can also bring in Shangyang Academy to save the situation!"

This analysis is correct.

Although Lin Shan is the leader of Xun Gu Sect and Lujiang League, Xun Gu Sect is his own and Lujiang League nominally belongs to everyone.

If the resources and power within the alliance are used for the leader's personal affairs, then the merchants must have reason to mobilize the teachers and students of Shangyang Academy.

The Shang family has a huge influence in the Shangyang Academy, and the friendship between teachers and students is spread all over the world. There are also external aids that can be mobilized.

Things haven't gotten out of hand yet, so I won't take any action unless the enemy does. The war will not be escalated, but will proceed step by step.

Without Lin Shan's approval, the Xun Gu Sect would naturally not take the initiative to escalate the situation. No one wanted to cause trouble, so if they really wanted to make a decision, it would depend on what the sect leader thought.

Before Lin Shan had time to think about the north, there was a sudden noise outside Tianfu Mountain.

There was a loud bang, and the alarm of the mountain protection formation was triggered.

"Oh no, that headless man is here again!"

Master Zhan Kong quickly began to assign his disciples to the Formation Hall to activate various types of mountain protection formations.

The mountain protection formation consumes too many spirit stones, so it is rarely used on weekdays. Even if it is to guard against ancestor Lu Que, only one layer is opened as a warning.

We will open it to full capacity when the other party comes. This is a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and we have to do so.

"Leader, what should I do?"

"Go out and see."

Lin Shan led everyone out and each went to heaven.

The sect disciples on the top of the mountain behind him were busy and running around, and after a while they had opened the entire formation.

“Swish, swish, swish~~~”

Colorful lights stand up from bottom to top, wrapping Tianfu Mountain in an orderly manner.

There are seven or eight floors in total!

Anyway, no one recognized the colorful formation, but after seeing that the headless man had been fighting for three months without success, everyone was basically assured of their own safety.

When the disciples below saw their leader coming out of retreat, they all looked up at the sky with anticipation in their eyes.

"Get out of here, you bastard, you've been hiding in your turtle shell laying eggs all day!"

The headless man was shouting outside the formation, his voice travelling far away and could be heard throughout Tianfu Mountain.

Lin Shan saw ancestor Lu Que again after many years, and it seemed like just yesterday.

After all, after thirty years of seclusion, my memory hasn't increased much. I have been practicing all the time, so it's like the past!
"Old Ancestor, I haven't seen you for a long time. How did you become like this?"

Lin Shan asked hesitantly, almost unable to recognize him.

Old Ancestor Lu Que was in tatters, with two fingers broken on his left bear paw, a big hole in his abdomen, and even a lame pig's foot. It was hard to imagine what he had been through in the past few decades.

Patriarch Lu Que suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from inside, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel dazed.

This sound.
So familiar.
Why, you just can’t remember?
Is it
"Brother Xianxian?"

He asked with uncertainty.

Lin Shan was really shocked!

It's been so long, and you still call me brother???
The old ancestor is really stupid, no, he has no brain at all!

"Brother, I didn't expect you to still remember me as a brother. I am so touched."

"Shut up, you thief!"

Patriarch Lu Que suddenly started cursing and changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

Lin Shan: “???”

Everyone in the Xun Gu Sect was dumbfounded, unable to understand what the grudge between these two people was.

They were as close as family one moment and enemies the next.

Ancestor Lu Que spoke with grief and anger, pointing his broken-finger bear paw at him, expressing his deepest sorrow.

"Since the day we left Nanman, I thought more and more that something was wrong. Finally, I met a wandering Taoist priest and told him the story. Then he told me."

"All of this, all the sources come from you!"

"You actually stole my head!"

"From the South China Sea to the Song Dynasty, from the Song Dynasty to the Southern Barbarians, you deceived me so much!"

"I have walked countless miles and left my hometown for thirty years before I found you. Do you know how much I have suffered???"

"woooooo"

Finally seeing the culprit, Patriarch Lu Que thought of the sad things in the past and couldn't help crying!

Although I am not involved in the incident, I cannot empathize with them.

But the misery revealed in his words made many people in the Xun Gu Sect feel pity for him, and they glanced at their leader with strange eyes.

Look at the child, he is already in this state, but he still keeps teasing others. No wonder he holds such a grudge and comes to seek revenge.

Lin Shan didn't know what to do for a moment.

The strong ancestor Lu Que couldn't help crying when he saw me. How much suffering did he endure over the years to accumulate to this extent!

The thing is, I didn’t do anything, did I?

"Brother, although I don't know what you've been through, I sympathize with you. It's just..." "Shut up! Do you know what that deer head means?"

"Mean something."

"That is most likely the only soul deer in the world. It can be refined into a soul treasure and colonization suit. It is unique and irreplaceable!"

"Oh? So precious!"

Lin Shan seemed to be thinking about something, and glanced at the Black Skull Demon Lord beside him. The soul fire was burning in the latter's head under his hood, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ancestor Lu Que slammed the formation fiercely to vent his anger.

"You stole my head, wandered around, cheated and deceived people, and refused to return it to me! You really think that I can be fooled, don't you?"

"And that little chicken, I will rip your head off sooner or later!"

The chicken couldn't help but shrink its head, spread its wings to cover its head, and secretly showed its little eyes to watch.

At this time, Lin Shan was communicating secretly with the Black Skull Demon Lord. At the same time, a message came from afar. He took it and looked at it, and changed his tone unprecedentedly.

"Let me correct you, that's not called stealing, that's called robbing!"

"I didn't steal your head, I robbed it!"

"You stole it with your own ability, who told you to return it?"

Patriarch Lu Que was choked and was unable to refute for a moment.

Good man, you’ve been lying to me for so long, now you just come clean and stop pretending, and you’re acting so confidently?
But that's how the world of cultivation is. If your head was lent out and someone else snatched it away, it's better to blame yourself than others.

He became furious and attacked the formation frantically, wanting to rush in and kill Lin Shan.

It’s a pity that everything is in vain. As long as Lin Shan doesn’t go out, he really can’t come in.

Therefore, in anger,
Just angry for a moment.
At this moment, small spots of light flew over from the distant sky, with a clear target pointing straight here.

When getting closer, there were all kinds of rainbow lights, and there were more than twenty Jindan stage cultivators!
The leader was none other than Yang Zhenren, who was in charge of the Lujiang League.

Behind him were the elders and protectors of various families in the Lujiang League. The four great families in Wangyue City, the four sects in Lunan, and the major sects in the Lujiang River basin had all sent people!

"Alliance leader, please don't blame us for being late in coming to your rescue."

The Xun Gu Sect was overjoyed to see so many Jindan True Immortals gathered together. After three months of waiting, reinforcements finally arrived.

In fact, we can't blame Master Yang for being slow, because it takes time for him to gather and integrate the Jindan-stage cultivators from various families to save the situation.

Fortunately, no matter what, they all came.

Because after so many years, the major sects of the Lujiang League have gradually tasted the sweetness and realized the power of everyone adding fuel to the fire, and they all want more.

Now that we all share the same fate, it is naturally impossible for the Lujiang League to collapse.

If the leader's sect is in trouble, Master Yang will take the lead and come to rescue them.

Besides, this troublemaker is just a headless man in the Jindan stage.

This must have been done after everyone had done their research.

If Xun Gu Sect offended a True Lord in the Nascent Soul Stage or a top sect, no one would dare to come to the rescue.

"Everyone, it's not too late, it's just right."

Lin Shan nodded with a smile and secretly gave Master Yang a wink. Everything was understood by both of them.

Now he was surrounded by more than 20 Jindan stage cultivators, and even Patriarch Lu Que was confused.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that there are so many people of the same level here. If he wasn't panicking, he would be wrong.

"Who are you? I'm here to get my head back. I have no intention of causing any trouble. Let me make myself clear first!"

Master Yang laughed and walked out to tell him.

"We are from the Lujiang League. You come to our leader's door to cause trouble. Do you think we should intervene?"

"Lujiang League?"

Patriarch Lu Que couldn't help but turn to Lin Shan and found that the latter was smiling and nodding at him.

"I am not talented, but I am the leader of the Lujiang League."

Ancestor Lu Que: “.”

He really couldn't imagine that this kid had so many connections outside!

What a slap in the face!

No matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly defeat so many opponents of the same level, and he can't break into the mountain protection formation. All his strength is in the realm of spirit and soul, and he is not good at physical attacks, so he can only watch helplessly from the outside.

But when Patriarch Lu Que recalled the bitterness he had experienced along the way, every bit of it came to his mind, and he still roared in a fierce manner.

"Everyone, even if you use your numbers to bully the few today, do you really think I'm afraid of you? At worst, we'll both die together, but we'll also have to take a few people with us before the end!"

As he spoke, a huge amount of soul power was released, and all the Jindan Zhenren of Lujiang League changed color.

Because this kind of strength is even stronger than that of the average late Jindan stage, many of them have never even seen such a master!

"Why do I feel like this is no less than the chief professor of Yunchuan Academy?"

"It seems that I am only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Hiss~ If this kind of person doesn't die, who can stop him from coming to our house in the future?"

The group of people were instantly shaken. After all, they all had families behind them. Who doesn’t have a soft spot to worry about?
When Master Yang saw that things were not going well, he quickly stood up and cheered.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. There are so many of us today, are you afraid that we can't stop him? You dare to come to deal with the leader today, which clearly shows that you are not afraid of the Lujiang League. In order to restore our reputation, we swear that we will not let him go easily!"

Everyone thought it made sense. If they were still cowardly with so many people present, then there would be no need for the Lujiang League to exist.

Lin Shan smiled and said nothing, watching the reactions of each alliance member.

Regardless of whether they are sincere or not, at least they can follow Master Yang, so they are naturally one family. Those who don’t come will definitely be settled later.

Ancestor Lu Que's spiritual consciousness began to spread and spy, looking for a way to escape.

He was not stupid and knew that he could not fight hard at this time. As the saying goes, there is life, there is hope.

Anyway, I am alone, and these people all have names, families and businesses, and it is impossible for them to stay here forever.

Just wait until everyone leaves and then come back. Tianfu Mountain cannot be moved away from here.

However, when he thought this, the formation in front of him suddenly expanded, covering everyone present in an instant!
"You came and wanted to leave, but I don't know if you asked us?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong laughed loudly. They were both masters of formations and this was the main gate of the Xun Gu Sect, so the range of the formation could naturally be adjusted.

In the past, we didn’t dare to let Old Ancestor Lu Que in, and now we are afraid that he will run away.

Master Yang and the others' eyes lit up, and they all surrounded him with bad intentions.

Where are you going to run now?

Patriarch Lu Que's body stiffened and cold sweat began to break out on his back.

If he could still have tried to break through just now, now that he was covered by seven or eight mountain protection formations, there was no way he could break through!
"Brother, are you going to surrender, or do you want me to lead the others to do it myself?"

Lin Shan finally spoke, as the saying goes, times have changed.

The initiative changed hands instantly.
