Immortal Road.

Chapter 531: Risking one's life to accompany the other, taking possession of the body for the second time

"Haha, Professor Shang, that's too serious. I'm just doing my job."

Danyangzi seemed ambiguous on the surface, but in fact he and Lin Shan were secretly flirting with each other.

Sometimes, communication between smart people does not need to be made too clear, because those who understand will understand.

But Master Shang Geng was not so easily fooled. As a professor for so many years, he had his own authority, and he also had the seniority to question him on the spot.

"Who arranged this seating arrangement?"

Dan Yangzi smiled slightly.

"The Lord of my mansion is the Son of the Sky God."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became quiet, and everyone stopped what they were doing, fearing that they would miss any of the words that followed.

Because they have more or less heard that if the leader of the Lujiang Alliance in front of them is one of the prominent figures in the State of Lu in the past sixty years, then the lord of the new Hongdu Palace, Kongshen Zi, is also one!
This man has basically become a legend in southwest Shandong in terms of both his intelligence and strength!

He was able to maneuver freely and with ease in the battle of raising Gu, and finally made clouds and rain with a flip of his hand, leading the new Hongdu Mansion to the threshold of the top ten academies.

No matter what era he is in, he is always a trend-setting hero!

Such people are now at the peak of their careers. Their every word and action will be scrutinized by others. If they stomp their feet, the whole of southwestern Shandong will tremble!
Master Shang Geng had no way to respond this time.

If it was arranged by the Palace Lord, Kongshenzi, he had no right to question it, let alone to undermine the host.

However, Shangyang Academy, as one of the top ten academies, also gave him enough confidence.

"Fellow Daoist Danyangzi, you should think carefully. If you gain something in the east, you will lose something in the west."

"The Lujiang League and the Shangyang Academy have a potential conflict, and you can't have both."

"If you make an impulsive choice today, you may lose a vital helper at a critical moment in the future!"

"Don't forget, if you want to be recognized as a person of the corresponding status, you still need the votes of the top ten academies!"

These words can be regarded as a naked threat!
If you, the new Hongdu Palace, want to be promoted to the Hongdu Academy, you will need the consent of the ten old academies!
When the time comes, I will vote against you and ask you if you are in a hurry?
However, after hearing this, Danyangzi was unexpectedly tough.

"True recognition relies on the support of strength. If you want to be respected, you must be strong enough!"

"Master Shang Geng, our Hongdu New Mansion follows the rules and regulations. It is impossible for us to let Alliance Leader Lin suffer any injustice. Of course, we have no intention of making enemies with the Shangyang Academy."

"But if you insist on threatening us, then we will do it!"

"Hongdu New Mansion has nothing to fear."

These words were cadenced and decisive.

Everyone can hear the determination in it!

Not only Lin Shan felt touched, but everyone around him was shocked.

How confident and bold must one be to say such words?
Hongdu New Mansion is indeed a rising star that has risen from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Facing the ten old academies, it is not at all inferior in momentum.

Full of personality!
Moreover, the person who spoke was only a Doctor Danzhuan.

The person opposite is a professor in the late Jindan stage!
Danyangzi dared to speak like this, unconsciously revealing the pioneering spirit and vitality that was bursting out from top to bottom and from inside to outside in the new Hongdu Mansion.

Each of them has their own pride, and they have long reached a consensus not to fear any external threats.

It must also have been approved by the Palace Master and all the Jindan Zhenren.

The Shangyang Academy is indeed huge, but if it really wants to become a stumbling block for the new Hongdu government, then it has to be offended, and there is no need to hesitate.

Lin Shan couldn't help but secretly admire the other party's courage.

Having such a person as a friend will make him feel more at ease about the cooperation.

Master Shang Geng did not say anything more. Given his status and position, he naturally could not say too much, as that would make him look cheap.

After seeing through the secret discord between the two, he immediately turned around and left, with no intention of arguing any further.

"Hey, ancestor"

Master Shang Ding stretched out his hand to keep him, but he didn't know how to start.

He could only watch his ancestor return to Shangyang Academy, while he was left there.

He understood that it was because of him that the ancestor lost face. He could only blame himself for all this. Who could have thought that the Hongdu New Mansion and the Lujiang League were in cahoots with each other and had colluded with each other without anyone knowing when!

If he had known this earlier, he would not have humiliated himself no matter what he said.

Now, in front of so many people, he just felt like he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to back down, like a thorn in the back.

I wanted to just walk away and not endure this humiliation any longer, but when I thought about it, my clan sent me to the banquet, and if I went back in disgrace, I was afraid I would never be able to hold my head up again.

"Forget it, I'll just bear the humiliation for now!"

Master Shang Ding shamelessly sat back down without saying a word.

"Harm~"

There were a lot of boos all around, and everyone was obviously dissatisfied with the result. They all hoped that the merchants and the Lujiang League could have some friction on the spot, which would be fun to watch.

As a result, the merchant just gave up!

This greatly disappointed the many onlookers, and their evaluation of Master Shang Ding plummeted. At the same time, they began to have new speculations about the relationship between Hongdu New Government and Lujiang League.

Danyangzi and Linshan exchanged a few pleasantries, nodded in tacit understanding, and left to go work elsewhere.

Lin Shan also ignored the Taoist Shang Ding who was sitting below him. After all, this guy was just a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He was not worth worrying about.

The reception continues.

From time to time, people came up from the mountain and were led to the square to find a seat to sit down until the seats were gradually filled.

The atmosphere became more lively, and the sound of clinking glasses could be heard everywhere.

At this moment, a sudden shout attracted everyone's attention again.

"Isn't that Zhong Shenxiu from Bailu Academy? Why is he here too?"

When Lin Shan heard this, he paused and looked outside quickly with Master Yang.

A scholar in white, surrounded by the stars and supporting him, was walking towards this side, chatting and laughing.

There were constant voices of doubt all around, and everyone was wondering why Zhong Shenxiu came here.

Lin Shan didn't understand either.

Logically speaking, Bailu Academy is closed now, and no one should break the rules unless it is necessary.

The last time I went to the forbidden area on the cliff was because I was asked by an old antique from the Confucian sect to get information about the mysterious man in the bamboo hat, so I made an exception and went out of the mountain.

Even after returning from Xiaoyizhou, he did not have time to look for Lin Shan. He just sent a message asking Lin Shan to go to the central part for a talk, but Lin Shan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

I knew it was inconvenient for this kid to go out, so I just left him alone.

But this time, this kid was invited to the opening ceremony of the new Hongdu Palace, which really revealed something unusual.

Several gentlemen from Hongdu New Mansion surrounded him, smiling widely, and seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation. One could not help but wonder whether Bailu Academy had already expressed its intention to support him.

Master Shang Geng sat in his seat at the Shangyang Academy, watching this scene coldly, and couldn't help but think of that aspect.

Could it be that the new Hongdu government doesn't care about its threats because it has already received support from the Bailu Academy?

Other academies also began to have wild thoughts and become suspicious.

If Bailu Academy supports it, then only Jingyang Academy’s attitude will remain. Is there any need for them to remain neutral?
As Zhong Shenxiu walked along, representatives of various forces on both sides greeted him one after another. This guy was very versatile and handled everything with ease.

No one cared about his generation, they all valued his identity and the power behind him. Sometimes, they even forgot that he was once the immortal genius of Lu State!

Until they passed by Lin Shan's table.

Master Yang stood up and greeted him. Lin Shan was just prepared to deal with him casually to avoid getting entangled with this guy.

But Zhong Shenxiu seemed to have noticed this a long time ago, and the first thing he said shocked everyone.

“Second brother, why are you so distant when you meet your brothers after half a century? But aren’t we close enough?”

The gentlemen in Hongdu New Mansion opened their eyes wide and watched Zhong Shenxiu suddenly stop here and greet Lin Shan with an unpredictable smile. They were all surprised and confused.

This is the first time everyone has heard that Zhong Shenxiu and Sect Leader Xun Gu are actually brothers?

How come we never got this news?
One of them was surnamed Zhong, the other surnamed Lin. I guess they were not biological brothers, but sworn brothers.

If they become sworn brothers, one is the second brother and the other is the third brother, then who is the eldest brother?
Everyone couldn't help but have questions in their mind, and instantly imagined a series of big dramas.

Lin Shan was being stared at by so many people that he had no choice but to reply.

"It's you, Third Brother. How are you?"

"You are so good, Lin Shan! You still remember me. Why are you sitting there?"

Zhong Shenxiu suddenly opened his mouth and shouted!

It startled everyone.

Master Yang almost thought that the other side was going to take action!

What’s going on? Aren’t these two brothers? Why do they seem to be at odds with each other?

Lin Shan was also a little confused by his move. He didn't know what was wrong with him all of a sudden, and he actually felt a little uneasy.

But he remained calm on the surface.

"Third brother, how can you talk to your brother like that? As your elder brother, it is only natural for me not to stand up. According to seniority, you should be the one to bow to me. Don't make the mistake."

Zhong Shenxiu remained silent and just stared at Lin Shan quietly.

After a while.

Suddenly he smiled, bowed and clasped his fists.

"I was reckless. Now I am honored to meet you, brother!"

Everyone was confused and felt that Zhong Shenxiu changed his expression faster than turning pages of a book.

Lin Shan also didn't understand what Zhong Shenxiu was up to. If he hadn't had some self-control, he would have been almost stopped by this guy!

I came from Nightingale, and I'm used to the noise. Do you still want to kill me?

Seeing that the boy saluted him again, Lin Shan returned the salute with a forced smile.

"Why do you have to be like this, Third Brother? There is no need for us to be polite to each other. Follow the gentlemen from Hongdu New Mansion and sit up there!"

"Not urgent."

Zhong Shenxiu coughed twice, and his face turned pale and rosy, as if his lung disease had recurred over a long period of time and he had returned to the appearance of a sick scholar.

"Brother, I have something I want to tell you. Let's take this opportunity to have a long talk!"

The gentlemen from Hongdu New Mansion who were accompanying him looked at each other, thinking that this genius from Bailu Academy really had a very unique way of thinking.

Are you here to show your support for our new Hongdu Mansion, or are you here just to reminisce about the past?

Zhong Shenxiu didn't look around, just stared at Lin Shan.

Although Lin Shan was extremely unwilling, he couldn't admit defeat. He also wanted to see what this kid was going to do.

Why did Bailu Academy release him, what was their stance on the issue of Hongdu New Prefecture, what was the motive behind his previous fickleness, and what happened to the others after they returned from Xiaoyizhou?
"what ever."

Zhong Shenxiu smiled after hearing this, and asked the people from Hongdu New Mansion to help add a seat next to him. It turned out that it was set up according to the order of the brothers. He sat right next to Lin Shan and squeezed the merchant out!

Master Shang Ding was angry but dared not say anything, he only regretted that there was no crack in the ground for him to study.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, the seats for Bailu Academy are at the top. Why don't you come sit over there with us? There are professors from the ten major academies there for you to communicate with."

Although it was not convenient for the new Hongdu government to reject his idea and gave him an additional seat at the foot of Linshan, they still tried their best to persuade him to go up.

In any case, Master Shang Ding was directly ignored and had no say at all.

"No need, I have something important to discuss with my second brother, we can discuss our affairs later."

Zhong Shenxiu said nice words, but in fact he was unshakable. The Hongdu New Government could not force him, so they had to temporarily follow his wishes.

"Third brother, you came to me so blatantly, without even trying to avoid suspicion. Do you have any idea to show to others?"

"Haha, second brother, you obviously have a lot of things you want to ask me, why are you avoiding me?"

After everyone else left, the two of them started communicating with each other.

"You came to southwestern Shandong for a mission, so you couldn't have come just to see me."

While asking, Lin Shan winked at Yang Zhenren, who understood and left, going to a place with fewer people and acting as a sentry guard.

"That's right. It's okay to tell you. I did come down the mountain for another reason, but it has little to do with Hongdu Academy."

"I just want to keep an eye on one person."

"You know, we brothers are about to face a disaster!"

Zhong Shenxiu started the scary part again, but Lin Shan was already used to this kid's sudden startles, so he remained calm.

Tilt your head and continue waiting for him to fart.

"."

Zhong Shenxiu felt very uncomfortable when he saw that Lin Shan did not ask him what the matter was, but just waited for him to tell him.

But keeping it hidden wasn't a solution, so I took the initiative to speak it out.

"Look at the third row from the end of our banquet row. That's where the Luxibei camp is located. Does that old man look familiar to you?"

"Who is it?"

Lin Shan turned his head away.

I hadn't noticed it before, but I was totally stunned at first glance!
Huh?
Looks a bit familiar!

Isn't this what it is? How come he was reborn?

Mixianling, Puchang Zhenren.

He was once killed by the three brothers of Linshan in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. Afterwards, Lingjian Qingguyan was divided equally, which prompted them to become sworn brothers in Peach Garden.

But now, a dead person suddenly appears in front of him alive, which makes people have wild thoughts and feel scared.

"He is no longer Master Puchang. He is the old snake that fought with us for the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk. If you don't believe me, take a closer look!"

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Lin Shan quietly turned back to look.

I discovered that this Puchang Zhenren was indeed slightly different from normal people. He often liked to "hiss" silently without realizing it, and his body was twisting unconsciously, as if he had not fully adapted to this body.

The Ming Snake Demon King!
