Immortal Road.

Chapter 539: Young Master's Disciple, Ambush Outside the House

"Switch or not, just give me a straight answer!"

Dharma Protector Yin spoke briefly and casually, leaving no room for bargaining at all, which made the two ancestors of the Star-Swallowing Sect frown.

If the Zhoutian star body was captured, they would certainly exchange it without hesitation, but wouldn’t it be too hasty to give away the results of so many years of exploration just because of a piece of news?

"I can give you a hint in advance. The owner of this Zhoutian Star Body has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation is only at the early stage of the Golden Core stage."

Yin Protector seemed to see through the concerns of the two and threw out the availability first.

The two old ancestors of the Star-Swallowing Sect then relaxed their expressions a little, but they were not stupid either, so they turned around and asked back.

"Since this person's cultivation is not high, why don't you from the Jiuyou Sect arrest him?"

"Oh?"

Protector Yin found it a little funny. Looking at the sensitive nerves of these two guys, he had no idea what they were so nervous about.

"Why do we want to capture him? We don't even know why you offer a reward for the Zhoutian Star Body. What are you trying to capture?"

The two ancestors of the Star-Swallowing Sect then realized that they had spoken out of turn and felt a little embarrassed.

But I still think this deal is unfair.

"The news about a celestial body is not worth the information we have gained from so many years of exploration."

"Haha, you two are really greedy."

Protector Yin sneered twice, looking indifferent.

"If I can't buy information from you, I can buy it from other forces. It doesn't matter who you buy from, it's just a matter of how fast the progress is."

"Do you really think you are a rare commodity? Wake up! There are many people eyeing this cave, and we in the Jiuyou Sect are not without a way!"

"As for the news about the Zhoutian Star Body, this is the only one that comes to us, there is no other!"

"Although the purpose of your offering a bounty is unclear, I can guess with my toes that it must be for use in Master Yuxing's cave!"

"Now that this opportunity is in front of you, I just want to ask you if you want to grab it!"

The two of them changed color.

Protector Yin was right. Their Star-Swallowing Gate was indeed ahead of others in terms of exploration progress, but not too far ahead.

Moreover, there are still more than ten years before the cave is opened, which is enough time for those old enemies to find the location.

When you enter the cave, it is extremely important to seize the initiative.

If they can get the support of the Purple Star Ring spirit, they will definitely be able to find more treasures!
Zhenren Zhilian thought about it and felt that they could be exchanged. Zhenren Hongdong next to him proposed another condition.

"You can change, but I want you to hand over another person!"

"People? Who?"

"Do you have a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Hao under your command?"

Protector Yin subconsciously glanced around him and nodded without knowing why.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The Hongdong Patriarch gritted his teeth.

"That guy killed a group of my disciples, and he also killed my beloved disciple Ding Gangniao. I want him to pay with blood!"

"."

Protector Yin looked at the young man beside him who was looking at him with an innocent look.

"Didn't I ask you to send them a letter to make a deal? Why did you kill their apprentice?"

The young man surnamed Hao replied calmly:

"If I don't kill some people, do you think these two old guys will pay attention to me?"

"."

Yin Hufa was speechless, but there was nothing wrong with it when he thought about it. If it wasn't like this, how could he have successfully attracted the attention of the two ancestors of the Swallowing Star Sect and lured them over for a deal in one go.

This kid is decisive and fierce in killing, no wonder he is favored by the young master.

The Hongdong ancestor on the opposite side had been staring at this place and saw the two people whispering. It was easy for him to guess that it was most likely this kid.

Yin Hufa coughed twice:
"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry I can't agree to this. Anyway, the cannon fodder under your command, if they die, they die. You can just recruit new ones from outside. Why are you so persistent?"

The eyes of the Hongdong Patriarch turned red. It turned out that the one who died was not yours. It's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist, right?
"Ding Gangniao is my senior disciple who I have trained for nearly a hundred years! I spent countless efforts to reach the late stage of foundation building and was about to pave the way for breaking through to the golden elixir stage. How could he die in vain?"

"Uh, that. I'm sorry, but in this Star Swallowing Mountain Range, anything can happen. We've all struggled in the devil's way before, so we should leave our lives to fate and not blame others."

This makes sense too.

Have you ever seen anyone from the evil world talk to you about reason?
I met you halfway and I don't like you. I'll kill you, why do I need a reason?

The Hongdong Patriarch was furious:
"Well, this man killed my disciple, so it is only natural for a master to avenge his disciple. I will kill him in person."

After saying that, a black light shot out!

Dharma Protector Yin rushed to block it, but it was just a casual attack. The Hongdong Patriarch did not kill him, and it seemed that he was just testing him.

But even a casual attack from a Jindan-stage cultivator would be difficult for a Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator to resist because of the blessing of his transformed magic power.

"Fellow Daoist, what you did is wrong. You killed someone in front of me. Do you really think that the Jiuyou Sect is easy to bully?"

"Humph! If it was a truly top sect, I would have to be courteous and even behave myself like a dog. But your Jiuyou Sect has long been in decline, and you still want to use your past glory to suppress me. Do you really think I was scared?"

"No matter how declining my Jiuyou Sect is, it is still no match for your Swallowing Star Sect. If we get serious, do you think you can stop us?"

"Hahahaha~"

The Hongdong Patriarch laughed loudly and pointed at the Yin Protector from a distance.

"You, the Jiuyou Sect, are surrounded by enemies in Chu State, so you fled to Jin State with your inheritance to seek refuge. If it weren't for the local big sect Yuan Mo Sect protecting you, you would have been divided up by the wolves long ago. How could you still run around outside?"

"And your Wu protector severely cheated us in the secret treasure forty years ago, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"The older you get, the narrower your mind becomes. I am just like that. I hold grudges!"

Dharma Protector Yin was not angry after hearing this, because what the Hongdong Patriarch said was all true and he did not deliberately exaggerate the truth.

Everyone in Jiuyou Sect is busy at the moment. The young master is busy in seclusion, while the protectors Wu and Tie are each carrying out missions outside. He is mainly responsible for Yuxing Cave Mansion.

Firstly, they don't have enough manpower, and secondly, they really don't dare to start a war. That's why they have to act in secret, for fear of alerting others and ruining the young master's plan.

"You are right, but I cannot hand Junior Brother Hao over to you because he is the disciple my young master just accepted in the past thirty years. This trip to the Swallowing Star Mountains is just for training, and he will inherit the future of the Nine Nether Sect in the future."

"It's better if you don't hurt him. We can still sit down and talk peacefully. But if you really hurt him."

"Maybe my young master will come out of seclusion in person to have a good talk with you, the Star Swallowing Sect!"

The two old ancestors of the Star-Swallowing Sect were horrified and their hands and feet were immediately trapped.

"Young Master Jiuyou?!"

They also knew that if they really angered Young Master Jiuyou, what would await them would definitely be thunderous revenge!

Not to mention Young Master Jiuyou, just the protector Wu back then would make them suffer the consequences!

"My young master broke through to the late Jindan stage a while ago. He will visit Lord Kuruo as soon as he consolidates his realm and comes out of retreat. He has no time to pay attention to this place for the time being, so I will be fully responsible." "You two, the news about the Zhoutian Star Body was also told to me by the young master himself, and there will be no mistakes."

"Let's just think of the matter of Junior Brother Hao as his previous recklessness. I'll apologize to you on his behalf. How about we write it off and get back to the deal?"

The old master Hongdong and the real person Zhilian had to give up. The former glared at him hatefully, and found that the other party's expression was still unscrupulous, which made him even more annoyed.

However, in order to gain the upper hand in the future, I had to make the deal on the spot.

After the two parties swore to each other, they put their respective information in a jade slip and threw it to the other party.

Protector Yin took it, looked at it, raised his head, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.

The content inside is quite detailed and can instantly close the progress of our exploration of Zhenjun Cave, so it is indeed true.

When the two people from the Star-Swallowing Gate saw the thing, they were stunned for a moment!

"Lu State? Lujiang League? Xun Gu Sect? Linshan?"

"What the hell is this?"

Yin Hufa was a little surprised by their reaction and thought that these two people might be crazy.

"You haven't heard of Lin Shan? He is the newly rising immortal genius in Lu State. He is very famous and is on par with Zhong Shenxiu of Bailu Academy. He will be a great enemy of our demonic sect in the future!"

"never heard of that."

The old man Hongdong and the real person Zhilian both shook their heads.

They have been buried in the deep mountains and old forests of the Swallowing Star Mountains all year round, leading their disciples in various tracking and archaeological expeditions, exploring the topography and hydrology, and searching for the relics of Yuxing.

They were basically indifferent to the disturbances in the outside world, and left it to the last remaining Jindan Zhenren in the sect to take charge. The two of them concentrated on exploring the secret treasures.

As for the so-called immortal genius, I have never even heard of him.

"Well, now that I've told you the information, Lin Shan possesses the Zhoutian Star Body. My young master said it himself, and it's true. What to do next is up to you."

Protector Yin then turned around and left with his men.

The old man Hongdong and the real person Zhilian did not try to keep him, but discussed secretly and were unable to make a decision.

"What is the origin of this Lin Shan? How can he possess the Zhoutian Star Body but not be controlled by the top strength?"

"It is indeed strange, but according to what Yin Protector said before, only Young Master Jiuyou knows that he has the Zhoutian Star Body. Maybe the people of Lu are not aware of this secret?"

"What about the Immortal Prodigy? This is an extraordinary identity, enough to prove that his strength is far more than what it appears on the surface."

"That's right. Besides, since we are in Lu, it's not easy for us to go over and arrest him. This is also a problem."

"It doesn't matter. We still have time. Let's send someone to Lu to get some information. When we come back, if we are sure, we will do it ourselves. If we are not sure, we will tell the spirit of the Purple Star Ring in advance and see if we can extort some treasures from it!"

"Hmm? You mean, the spirit of the Purple Star Ring has already..."

"Shh~~"

The Hongdong Patriarch was extremely cautious and even encrypted his messages.

"In fact, we have already found the place where the Purple Star Ring Spirit is sleeping. We can wake it up when the time comes."

"Since this old guy became independent, he has lost control of his cave and has been forced to operate outside the cave."

"It can only go in when the cave is opened. If I follow him in advance, then..."

Northwest Shandong.

Primeval deep forest.

"Brother, we should be there soon. We have been traveling day and night these days. With the speed of Puchang Zhenren's group, they are probably still eating dust behind us!"

"Yes, Third Brother, I hope this time we can get rid of this great enemy once and for all!"

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu saw the undulating mountains in the distance, with wisps of smoke floating in the air, looking so hazy and unreal.

This is the legendary Mixianling, one of the most famous dangerous places in the State of Lu. When Master Puchang was alive, he made this place as solid as an iron plate.

It contains endless illusions, one layer upon another, one ring after another. Once you enter, you may get lost forever and there is no chance of getting out.

It’s not that there haven’t been people who have fallen into this trap before, but those who have fallen into it have never gotten out.

This is what makes this place mysterious.

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu did not get close, they also knew that this place was not easy to deal with. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so they chose a place over a hundred miles away, which was also the place that Master Puchang had to pass through to return home.

Respond to ever-changing situations with constancy and prepare for hard work with ease.

As for the formations, they were also on hand, but they were all of inferior quality, and might not be enough to deal with the Jindan stage, but they were still deployed.

During this period, they never saw anyone coming out, and no disciples from Mixianling had ever gone in, as if it was a dead zone.

after one day.

Finally, a rainbow light flashed in the distance, white and dreamy, and it looked very realistic, just like Pu Chang Zhenren when he was alive.

Wait until he passes by here.

A huge axe appeared above his head, pressing down on him!

Master Puchang was shocked and hurriedly tried to resist without any reaction.

And this Purple Axe of Creation is a top-level magic weapon. When it comes to attacking, it cannot be stopped by a hasty move.

Master Puchang didn't have the strength to muster up, and was about to fall from the air. Unexpectedly, someone was already waiting here, with a huge stick standing tall, also attacking him from both sides.

"Who are you? How dare you ambush me? Are you tired of living like this?"

Master Puchang was filled with shock and anger, and he howled loudly.

But these two magic weapons were so ruthless that they were designed to kill him, without any room for negotiation.

After fighting for several rounds, Master Puchang suddenly found that he seemed to have met a tough opponent. It was clearly two late Jindan cultivators who were secretly teasing him.

Because he had never seen the other person's face, he could only take a defensive stance and test him with words.

"Sir, if you have something to say, you can just talk it out. Why do you have to fight?"

"I am the Great Elder of Mixianling. If you don't mind, come sit with me and have some tea. Why do we have to fight?"

"I wonder if there is some misunderstanding between us?"

The two men ignored it and decided to kill the old snake.

Master Puchang finally got angry. After this period of time, he finally discovered the evil guy who was hiding in the dark!

"Two shady rats, come out here!"

"Shh!"

Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu suddenly revealed their figures, but their true identities were revealed and there was no need to be afraid.

Just come out with a swagger.

"Yes, it's you two!"

Master Puchang was a little panicked at first, but when he suddenly found out that it was these two guys, his anger turned into joy!
