Immortal Road.

Chapter 568 Born to be a rebel, killing with a borrowed knife

The wind was howling hard on the edge of the cliff, and the atmosphere was frozen and silent for a moment.

All the Golden Elixir True Men of the Demonic Path were watching the show with great interest, and were looking forward to the fight between True Man Qijian of Jidu Peak and the Leader of the Kun Sect!
They are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and each of them has a playful expression on their face, as if whoever dares not to fight is a coward and will be laughed at and looked down upon by everyone.

Lin Shan stood straight, like a sword out of its sheath!
He really doesn't mind having another fight!
Anyway, whether on the righteous path or the evil path, showing strength and getting the first one to stick out gets shot are necessary steps to gaining a firm foothold.

He was already very familiar with this.

Brother Chicken was twitching with excitement, and the two chickens were clinging to his shoulders tightly, wishing they could look up to the sky and scream!
This guy is a troublemaker at heart!

however,
At this moment, Master Qijian suddenly relaxed his aura, smiled, and then his eyes narrowed again, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, making it difficult to predict.

"Hahaha, I was just joking."

"The compensation paid by the Rong Sect belongs to the Rong Sect and naturally has nothing to do with the Kun Sect."

"Master Ji, there is no need to think too much. I was just joking. Please don't create any rifts because of this. This is not what I want."

Lin Shan also calmed down and smiled heartily, as if he didn't care at all.

"Hahaha, Brother Qijian, you are too polite. I was just joking just now to liven up the atmosphere. Who would have thought that I would end up making things worse? Didn't you guys get scared?"

All the spectators were disappointed that they could not see such a good show. They secretly cursed Qi Jian, the old man, for failing to deliver at the critical moment. On the surface, they all smiled and replied:

"Out of the way, out of the way"

This little farce passed in a flash, and everyone started chatting happily again, as if nothing had happened just now.

Only Master Qijian and Lin Shan knew clearly that if they really had to fight, both sides would suffer losses and others would take advantage, so they gave each other a way out at the critical moment and backed down when necessary.

The two occasionally exchanged glances, Master Qijian squinted his eyes and smiled, and Lin Shan also responded with a smile on his face.

It was the first time that Brother Ji sat next to so many magic masters. He always felt that these people were not good people, and each of them had a sinister smile.

As they were chatting, Qianbu kindly sent someone over to bring them food and drinks.

Everyone set up the table and started chatting while eating. It seemed like they had endless topics to talk about, but in fact they were all tests.

Occasionally, there is some information exchange and even some attempts to sow discord.

"Master Ji was just starting his sect, and he was glad to have a capable person to assist him. You should know that Brother Qian Budao is a well-known talent near our Jiuyao Peak. No one can match his ability to manage a sect!"

"That's right! Look at the character of the leader of the Rong Sect. He is selfish and never gives a penny. He is aggressive and tyrannical. Yet, the Rong Sect is still thriving under the management of Brother Qian Budao."

"It's a pity that such talents have never been reused. It really makes us sigh with regret!"

"Brother Qian Budao has changed his master now. I wonder what position he holds?"

Qianbu was holding a wine glass at the side. Suddenly, his hands froze and hovered in the air. He turned his head cautiously and looked at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan was drinking by himself, without even looking at him, and spoke calmly into his glass.

"Why are you looking at me? Why am I asking you?"

Qianbu had no choice but to answer honestly:
"I am currently serving under my adoptive father, temporarily serving as the second guardian of the Kun Sect."

The surrounding magic golden elixir masters all frowned, shook their heads and sighed.

"How can this be possible? Brother Qian Budao is so talented that he should be a deputy leader at the very least. How can he be a mere second protector?"

"Master Ji, I have to say something to you. With such a talented person in front of you, how can you not want to be promoted to a high position and receive generous salary? You are really putting the cart before the horse!"

"Hey, what do you know, old man? This is Master Ji's unique way of controlling people. Leaving enough room for promotion for his subordinates in the future can motivate them to work hard!"

"Oh~~~ So that's how it is! Ahahahaha, I am confused, confused, Master Ji is wise!"

"Oh my, tsk tsk tsk, if a talent like Brother Qian Budao came to me, I would offer him the position of deputy sect leader, but I'm afraid he would look down on me because my temple is small."

These people are weird and cunning, and they are doing injustice to Qianbu, both overtly and covertly.

Lin Shan had a blank expression on his face, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, shaking his wine glass, as calm as a still well, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Qianbu was so frightened that he was shaking all over and breaking out in cold sweat.

He responded with a somewhat stiff fake smile, which was uglier than crying.

"My fellow Taoists, please don't embarrass me. I am just a defeated general. I am grateful to my foster father for forgiving me and sparing my life!"

"How dare I ask for a high position and generous salary?"

"As the saying goes, I should be loyal to my master and eat his salary. This is what I should do in the future. I will never have second thoughts. Please don't provoke me in front of you."

"Besides, my humble skills only allow me to make a living in this chaotic world. I am far inferior to my adoptive father's profound magical powers and extraordinary Taoist techniques!

"I am only fit to lead the dog and pass the leash, and serve the horse."

Qianbu was very humble and weighed every word carefully, fearing that he would say something wrong.

He had no doubt in his heart, but if he hesitated for a moment, he would be struck hard by Lin Shan!
Because I am a surrendered person, I am naturally labeled as untrustworthy. If I don't stand firm and show my loyalty at this time, I will be courting death!

As for face
How much is face worth?

Compared to life, let alone godfather, even calling him grandpa is fine!
Lin Shan then hummed in satisfaction, drank the wine in the glass, and started refilling.

Qianbu breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his forehead, and knew that he had passed the test.

but,

His idea was good, but the group of magic golden elixir masters around him never thought of letting him go!

Seeing that the rebellion failed and this kid wasn't going to listen, he decided to just expose his weaknesses.

He was praising me to the sky just now, and now I’m stepping on the ground again!

"Master Ji, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"I also have something to remind Master Ji."

"I can't bear to keep Master Ji in the dark, so I hesitate whether to tell him or not."

"I can't stand it any longer. Master Ji must be on guard!"

"What are you doing? Please speak up if you have anything to say."

Lin Shan had no idea what these people were up to, but Qianbu beside him suddenly became nervous again, and had a bad feeling!

"Master Ji, I am a straightforward person. Let me tell you! Brother Qian Budao now worships you as his foster father. To put it nicely, you have adopted a great son. To put it bluntly, it's just alas, I can't say it out loud!"

"Then let me tell you, before Sect Leader Ji, this person actually worked at Tuyao Peak first, and was the adopted son of the then Tuyao Peak elder!"

"He was dissatisfied with the treatment at Tuyao Peak and could not resist the temptation of the leader of the hostile Rong Sect. He cut off his adoptive father's head in a surprise attack and joined the Rong Sect as a token of his loyalty."

"After that, he worshipped the leader of the Rong Sect as his adoptive father and became the deputy leader. He was highly respected!"

"After a fierce battle with you, Master Ji, he attacked and killed Master Rong from behind, and then knelt down again and switched sides, joining the Kun Sect!"

"Before he followed you, he was a slave of three surnames! Now he has become your foster father. That number is 44. Death. Oh, this number is very unlucky!"

"Every adoptive father of this man must have died a miserable death. Master Ji, please think twice!"

"He can't defeat anything except his adoptive father. He is a scourge from heaven and a disaster to the world. He will leave behind a great trouble. It's better to get rid of him!"

Qianbu was completely stunned!

"?????"

Did I provoke you?
Didn’t you just extend an olive branch and offer me a high position and generous salary to recruit me? Why are you taking apart the ladder now?
This. This is to kill me!
For a moment, he didn't have time to think too much. He pushed the table in front of him away and knelt down in front of Lin Shan!
The reaction was so fast that it was hard to keep up.

The table was overturned, and the fruits and wine cups on it fell to the ground, making a non-stop clattering sound, but he had no time to pay attention to it, as his tears and snot were streaming down his face!
"Foster father! Don't listen to the slander of villains!" "The old devils in Jiuyao Peak are beasts in human form. Seeing that our Kun Sect is just founded, they intend to sow discord. Don't be deceived by them!"

"Bu lost both his parents when he was young, wandered around, had a miserable life, and experienced the cold stares of others. He has endured countless rumors and gossips!"

"Now that I have joined the Kun Sect, I will do my best. A loyal minister does not serve two masters. Once I am the soul of the Kun Sect, I will be the dog of the Kun Sect forever!"

"Wherever the leader's troops point to is Bu's mission!"

"Don't be suspicious!"

"Boom boom boom boom~~~"

As he spoke, Qianbu banged his head on the ground and kowtowed heavily, with blood spurting out of his forehead. He looked heartbroken, with tears in his eyes.

Brother Ji is kind and simple-minded. He couldn't bear the pain, so he secretly sent a message to Lin Shan, asking him to plead for mercy for this person.

Lin Shan's face was stiff at this time and he didn't know what to say.

This was the first time he knew about it!
I came across this life, and the first time I got a big child, it turned out to be
A slave of three surnames???

No.

Now, including myself, after changing my surname to Kun, I have become a slave of four surnames.

Should I give him a courtesy name: Fengxian?

Fengxian, is that you?
This guy is so weird, he only targets my godfather!

If it were in his previous life, he might not believe it, but now it is a world of cultivation, and who knows what destiny he was born with.

This must not be overlooked!

On the road of cultivation, the higher your level of cultivation, the more insignificant you feel; the more you know, the more you don’t know!
The key point is that this guy is a demon, so it is understandable that he is fickle.

He felt uncomfortable all over and regretted adopting this son.

but,

Who is Talinshan?
How can you believe rumors so easily?

He also has his own judgment!

"Come here, get closer to me, let me touch you."

Qianbu looked at Lin Shan's pupils which were like dark pupils and was very scared. He didn't know what Lin Shan wanted to do, but he didn't dare to rebel. He had to kneel on the ground and crawl to his side.

The Golden Core Masters of the Demonic Path all around held their breath, all showing expectant looks.

Lin Shan gently placed his hand on his head and stroked it slowly, as if a master was petting his own dog.

Qianbu dared not move at all. His heart and liver were pounding with fear, for he was afraid that if he moved his head any more his head would burst into pieces.

Time passed like this bit by bit.

Everyone felt that the days were passing by slowly.

The life and death of a Jindan Zhenren depends entirely on Lin Shan's thoughts. If he exerts a little force with his palm, he will kill his newly adopted son with his own hands like crushing a watermelon.

While everyone was waiting for his decision,
Little did he know that Lin Shan was touching something.

When the hand reaches the back of the head,

A hard protrusion,

A familiar feeling.

It was transmitted to his mind through touch.

It reminded him of many years ago, when a ship was flying in the sky on a rough sea.

Immortal Master Huang and Dharma Protector Yan were leaning on each other and smiling. A group of demonic cultivators were holding Lin Shan tightly, with a skeleton monster kneeling in front of them, eagerly waiting for salvation.

"Don't stop me!"

"Give me back my sword!"

"I must kill this thief today!"

"I've long seen that he has a rebellious mind!"

Now, the same scene is repeated again.

He felt it.
This kid really has a rebellious nature!
Exactly the same as the Black Skull Demon Lord!
Lin Shan firmly believed in the story that he learned from the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty in his previous life. No matter who the person was, he was always a hidden danger.

Who are you referring to as a traitor?

Isn't that the kind of person he is?
This person is like the Black Skull Demon Lord. Although he is easy to use, if there is no check and balance, he will probably strike back at the first chance!
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and takes precautions against danger before it happens. This is what he should do.

There was murderous intent in his eyes, and he exerted a little force on his hands. Qianbu felt squeezed, and his pupils shrank slightly. The eyes of the surrounding magic elixir masters lit up, and they opened their mouths excitedly. The situation was critical.
"Clang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang~~~"

A wine cup suddenly fell to the ground at this moment, and the crisp sound echoed on the top of the mountain.

Lin Shan suddenly woke up!

wrong!

I almost fell into the trap!
Qianbu is indeed a traitor, but even if he is to be killed, he must not be killed at this critical juncture!

He had just destroyed the Rong Sect and occupied its place. This was the critical moment to demonstrate his ability to win over the remaining base of the Rong Sect and provide an opportunity for Brother Ji to establish the Kun Sect.

At this time, every move will have far-reaching consequences.

If they killed the talents who had just joined them because of a conversation between these evil Jindan Zhenren, wouldn't the remaining members of the Rong Sect have to flee in all directions?
Who dares to work for me?

By then, I will be alone and helpless, how can the Kun Sect survive?
We must not lose the big picture because of short-sightedness.

This is exactly the strategy of the neighbors around me to kill someone with a borrowed knife. If I am really affected by it, then my next move will be difficult!
If I attack the surrounding forces of Jiuyao Peak again in the future, everyone will fight to the death to resist me, because they know that the leader of Kun Cult will even kill the captives, and no one will dare to surrender!
How much resistance would there be?
Even if Qianbu is a time bomb, the matter is already done. We can wait until we recruit more talents and the church becomes bigger and bigger, then slowly dilute his influence and status in the church and secretly deal with him.

Lin Shan made up his mind, put away his murderous intent, and slowly withdrew his hand.

Qianbu's whole body was shaking like a sieve. He had just been through a near-death experience. Thousands of thoughts were running through his mind, and for a moment he even felt like he had been reborn from a great catastrophe.

He knew that he had passed the test.

“Dong dong dong dong dong!!!”

"Thank you, foster father!"

"I will definitely devote myself to you in the future, even if it means death!"

“Dong dong dong dong dong!!!”

This guy kowtowed frantically, and blood began to spurt out of his forehead. It was obvious that he was not pretending to be excited.

Lin Shan closed his eyes and spoke softly.

"Okay, get up."

The Golden Core True Masters of the Demonic Path around looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment.

Just one step closer to success,

What a pity
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the outside world, and a group of people covered in dust rushed to the mountain gate.
