Immortal Road.

Chapter 590: Take advantage of the situation, goodbye brother

In the far north, on a stone cave platform in the middle of a mountainside cliff.

An old spiritual man with purple hair was standing alone outside in the strong wind, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky and muttering to himself inexplicably.

"It's about to start, isn't the Zhou Tian star body coming yet?"

"almost!"

Behind it, two people walked out of the cave. They were the long-lost Hongdong Patriarch and Zhilian Zhenren of the Star-Swallowing Sect!
These two people have been hanging around in the Star-Swallowing Mountains for so long, and it turns out they are hiding here.

They looked up at the starry sky together, their hearts filled with excitement. They had been waiting for that day for too long!

"We deliberately left some clues. I think the remnants of Guo State inside the gate will definitely pass the news to Lu State."

"Master Xun Gu is young and full of vigor. He is impatient and impatient. He will definitely come here immediately. Anyone would be tempted by Master Yuxing's secret treasure, not to mention that he is a Zhoutian star body!"

"His first stop must be the Star Swallowing Gate, and that old man, Taoist An Chun, is no match for him. With so many traitors working together, he can only surrender!"

When Patriarch Hongdong was halfway through his speech, True Man Zhilian took over the conversation with a smile.

"In order to survive, the old man An Chun will definitely follow the request of the Ancient Sect Leader and lead the way to find us. We can't let him find us easily, otherwise he will easily become suspicious."

"At this time, under the high pressure from the Xun Gu Sect Leader, old man An Chun was forced to use his half-baked Yi Shu magical power, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, to calculate our whereabouts!"

"If you can't guess it right once, try again. If you can't guess it right twice, try again three times. There will always be one day when you can guess it right!"

"And by then, we will have waited here for a long time, waiting for the Zhou Tianxing Body to fall into the trap. Isn't that wonderful?"

The two smiled at each other, everything was under control.

"Hahahaha~"

The purple-haired old man in front couldn't help but smile, clapped his hands and praised, saying three good words.

"You two, you have been hiding this from me for a long time. A few days ago, I had never thought that there was actually a way to lure the Zhoutian Star Body here!"

The old man Hongdong and the real person Zhilian walked up to its left and right.

Behind them, ropes were hanging from the top of the mountain. They could only be seen clearly under the starlight. There were more than a thousand disciples of the Demonic Path standing by the ropes, ready for battle!
They dug out hideouts on the steep cliffs, buried special star materials according to the purple-haired old man's request, and set up a super formation with a scale of thousands of people!
In order to prevent the purple-haired old man from using the formation to gain control of the enemy, the two ancestors of the Star-Swallowing Sect ordered all their disciples to master the star materials and guard the base of the formation, which served as a disguised check and balance.

Compared with Taoist Anchun, the old man Hongdong and Zhenren Zhilian are more shrewd and cautious.

The purple-haired old man only wanted to capture the Zhoutian star body and transform the spirit body of the Transformation Device into a human. He also needed the help of the Star-Swallowing Gate, so of course he agreed to let the other party keep a backup plan.

"We handed over the results of our exploration over the years to Young Master Jiuyou, just to exchange for information about the Zhoutian Star Body. It is impossible for us to do nothing."

"It would have been fine if I hadn't noticed it before, but after a deeper investigation, I discovered that the Xun Gu Sect Leader had been eyeing us for a long time! This is such a coincidence, so I might as well use his trick against him and lure him into the trap!"

"It's neither coincidence nor uncoincidence. The leader of Xun Gu is originally a Zhou Tian star body, so it's not surprising that he paid attention to the secret treasure of Yu Xing. The remnants of Guo State fled to Lu State to provide him with clues, which is a perfect match."

"God has blessed me. I was originally thinking about how to lure him over here, but he actually rushed to come to me. If I don't seize this opportunity, how can I justify his years of planning!"

The two of them chatted with each other and talked about the success or failure of the ambush.

"I heard that Master Xun Gu is a genius of the immortal way. He can attack from higher ranks and should not be treated as an ordinary person. Are our arrangements really enough?"

Although these two people have not experienced it personally, they at least consider failure in order to achieve success, and always want to be absolutely sure.

But their concerns were insignificant in the eyes of the purple-haired old man.

"Don't worry, the two of you. This old man's formation is so ingenious that it can turn the world upside down and even make the sun and the moon dim!"

“Don’t even mention that young man Xun Gu, even the Nascent Soul cultivators who died in this formation back then were not few in number!”

"Do you have a clear idea now?"

The old man spoke in a very loud voice, and began to talk about the past in an airy and continual manner.

The two were terrified when they heard the story of how it had followed True Lord Yuxing, sweeping across the world to avenge enemies. Even the thousands of disciples hanging on the cliffs listened attentively, fascinated.

It's just that Old Ancestor Hongdong and True Man Zhilian are both experienced and it's impossible for them to be blown away by it.

Especially since this formation can kill Yuanying stage cultivators, could you please be more reliable?

"Senior Qi Ling, it's not that we two don't trust you. Back then, we had Yu Xing Zhen Jun with us, and your own spiritual treasure, the Purple Star Ring, to assist us. But now."

Now you are just a spirit, how can you replicate the power you had back then?
The purple-haired spirit instantly became unhappy, his face looked as sullen as a donkey's and he seemed to be very stubborn.

"I am a master of formations! In the world of cultivation, I can be on par with those in the Nascent Soul stage. How dare you two little brats look down on me?"

"Back then, Yu Xing was just a useless guy with a weak spiritual root. How did he climb up step by step and become famous all over the world? It was all thanks to me!"

"I tell you, if it weren't for me, he would have been a loser all his life! Later, when I asked him to build a physical body for me and reincarnate as a human, this ungrateful bastard actually said that humans and spirits have different paths!"

"joke!"

"Ancestor, I just want to be a human being. I want to be a human being even in my dreams, not a spirit trapped in a corner!"

"But not only did he not help me, he also left me in the cave to be the guardian of his inheritance."

The purple-haired weapon spirit became angrier as it spoke, and its rage seemed to burn through its body. To the outside world, its shadow could be seen twisting left and right.

"He won't let me grow up, so I have to grow up to show him!"

"You think it's a good idea, Protector of the Way!"

"The inheritance you left behind, as well as all the treasures, are all made for me!"

"All of this is mine! You owe me!!!"

The shrill roar echoed in the canyon, startling countless bats. The disciples of the magic sect on the cliff were frightened and almost fell into the valley and were doomed.

For a bunch of little people like them to get involved in the past events between these big shots is simply gambling with their lives!

But there is no way. Low-level cultivators in the demonic world are mostly cannon fodder, drifting with the tide and having no autonomy at all.

The eyes of the old master Hongdong and the real person Zhilian occasionally exchanged with each other. They listened to the purple-haired spirit going crazy without any expression and were not interested in the grudges of the past at all.

The only thing that made him feel at ease was the ability of the Purple Haired Spirit Weapon Formation Master.

I think this formation, which requires the coordination of thousands of people, must be extremely powerful.
"The full name of this formation of mine is the Purple Palace Hundred Refinements Starry Array."

"With the help of the star power of the Purple Star in the sky, we can arrange the star chain lines on the ground, and condense the nebula according to the meaning of the North Pole Ziwei to refine the enemy in the formation."

“Even if Master Ren Xun Gu has three heads and six arms, he will be frozen in my formation and his soul will be frozen to death!”

"Then I will take over another body and reincarnate as a human, and the mission will be accomplished!"

The purple-haired spirit spoke slowly and described the steps of his formation and the changes in each stage, so that the people of the Star-Swallowing Sect would have a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

Patriarch Hongdong and Zhilian Zhenren put themselves in the situation based on the calculations and found that if they were to fall into this formation, they would definitely die!

There is no hope of turning the tables or escaping at all!
Zi Chen Bai Lian Xing Dou Formation.

The super formation prepared by the purple-haired spirit specifically for capturing the celestial bodies in the sky requires a thousand people and countless star materials. It is expected that no one in the Jindan stage can resist it.

This one should be stable!

"Whoo~"

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that this formation didn't target them, but it was still scary to think about it.

Although the leader of Xun Gu is a man of natural talent, he is still a little green in social experience. This time, he plunged into the search, thinking it was a great opportunity, but he didn't know that a huge disaster was waiting for him.

"When the time comes, Senior Spirit of the Weapon will take over the body of a human, then we..."

"Your benefits are indispensable."

The purple-haired spirit promised them a huge profit in advance, and the two nodded in agreement. Three days.

Taoist An Chun took Lin Shan to search three different places. Although there were traces of the Star-Swallowing Sect's past activities in all of them, no one was found.

He consumed three of his lifespans for this, and his hair turned a little greyer.

Lin Shan also figured it out.

Precognition and fortune-telling are all about probability, and you can't get it right every time.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, which is the true portrayal of metaphysics.

Some deviations are reasonable. After all, lifespan is actually consumed. It is impossible that the old man would think his life is too long and joke with his lifespan.

"Sir, looking at these traces, it seems that they were left not long ago. The people from the Star Swallowing Sect are probably nearby."

Li Yuanjie led people to conduct a thorough investigation and reported to him after returning.

Lin Shan did not comment, turned around and looked at Taoist An Chun, and found that the old man was also looking at him eagerly.

"What are you waiting for? Keep calculating until you figure it out."

Taoist An Chun had no choice but to obey the orders. His life was in their hands and he had no choice.

after awhile.

He sighed, and a few more wrinkles appeared on his face, pointing in a direction.

Lin Shan waved his arm.

"set off!"

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are dense.

The mountains here are tall and majestic, rolling and undulating, and the howling of wild beasts can be heard from time to time.

There was only one large crack in the canyon, which was bottomless when you looked down, and there were no unusual sounds from any animals.

"Sir, the hexagram shows that it is right below."

Taoist An Chun prayed in his heart, hoping that he would not make any more mistakes this time. He could not stand any more trouble.

Lin Shan looked down quietly.

The abyss spanned the mountain range, with no end in sight, like a huge mouth without boundaries, ready to devour someone.

It was pitch black without a trace of light, just like a dead zone.

"Master, why don't you let me lead the team to explore the way first?"

Li Yuanjie was behind them asking for orders, and of course they had to take risks at critical moments. This was the meaning of being subordinates.

"No need."

Lin Shan raised his arm to stop him.

Instead, he turned around and instructed Taoist An Chun:
"Send your men down to explore the way."

The evil disciples of the Star-Swallowing Sect swallowed their saliva wildly, and their legs could not help but tremble as they looked at the pitch-black place under their feet.

Taoist An Chun was powerless, so he had to call for a disciple in the foundation-building stage and ordered him to lead ten people down.

The disciple wanted to cry but had no tears, and was obviously reluctant, but he did not make a fuss or quarrel, because he knew he had no choice, so he gritted his teeth and picked some people who he had a good relationship with on weekdays to go with him, mainly because he was afraid that they would fail and cause trouble halfway.

Lin Shan and others watched helplessly as the disciple descended on the dark clouds, and then disappeared into the night without even a wave of foam.

After half an hour, if you can’t wait any longer, you can stop waiting, Lin Shan ordered coldly.

"continue."

Taoist An Chun had no choice but to bite the bullet and arrange another group of people to explore the way under the resentful gazes of many disciples.

This time, everyone was asked to light a soul lamp to facilitate observation of their life and death.

These disciples of the demon sect did not make any noise or fight. They knew very well how cold-blooded and ruthless the high-level monks were. Nothing they said would work. The only thing that would help them was to find a way to survive down there.

Another foundation-building disciple carried a magic weapon and led people down.

In just one stick of incense time, all the soul lamps were extinguished!
"Huhuhu~"

The strong wind was still howling in the sky, making everyone feel cold inside.

I've tried it once and twice. If I try it again, I'll be asking for death!

"Are you sure that Patriarch Hongdong and Master Zhilian will bring people to stay here overnight?"

Facing Lin Shan's questioning, Taoist An Chun's forehead was covered with sweat, and he stammered, not knowing how to respond.

Lin Shan scanned the entire room, and everyone lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look him in the eye.

The abyss below still stands, eternal and isolated from the world.

After seeing this, he nodded and did not force it.

A torrent of black beetles circled in front of him, and after being endowed with divine consciousness by him, they turned around and entered the huge crack in the canyon.

Then wait quietly for the results.

After a moment, Lin Shan's expression changed slightly and his brows frowned.

All the black beetles lost contact, their spiritual thoughts were wiped out, and no images of reference value were transmitted back.

Immediately afterwards, another group of golden rhinoceros beetles came out, and he once again endowed them with divine consciousness and sent them away.

This time it was obviously different. The Rhinoceros Beetle was much stronger. Before it died, it took a quick glance and saw a faint flash of blue light, which seemed to have triggered some restriction or formation.

"Nice, a little weird."

Just as Lin Shan was about to investigate further, Taoist An Chun suddenly felt something and a look of joy flashed across his eyes.

In the darkness in the distance, a gray light shot out quickly, and the aura of the late Jindan period was not concealed.

A long roar, full of publicity and domineering, echoed for a long time in the depths of the Star-Swallowing Mountains, without any fear of causing any unnecessary trouble.

"You ran quite fast, running around here and there, making it hard for me to find you!"

The person who came was aggressive and had a clear goal, and he started by questioning!

"Master Anchun, I'm a little late. I'm so glad you're okay."

"I deeply regret what happened to the Star Swallowing Gate. I only regret that I couldn't stop it sooner."

"Now, I have come to rescue you from the clutches of the devil, so don't be impatient."

"Let me take a good look today, who is so arrogant that he dares to bully my friends from Jiuyou Sect."

Before he could finish his words, the visitor suddenly widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

"Second brother? Why are you here?"

Lin Shan smiled slightly and clasped his hands together.

"Brother, how are you?"
