Immortal Road.

Chapter 662: Demon Lord’s Layout, Target Appears

The Black Skull Demon Lord's unwilling grumbling voice on the other side of the passage was getting farther and farther away.

"No, wait, why do you make me do all the dirty work?"

The vortex disappeared and Lin Shan took back the summoning flag.

Obviously, the skeleton had been harboring resentment for a long time. Fortunately, he summoned it in time this time, and coincidentally, he had learned the magical power of the Starry Eyes, and saw through its hidden cultivation in one fell swoop!

Otherwise you will be kept in the dark!
"This guy is a thief with a heart of his own. We must be on guard against him."

Lin Shan frowned slightly. He thought that his cultivation was fast enough, but he didn't expect that this guy recovered even faster. There was no doubt that he was using the power of Lujiang League and Xun Gu Sect to plunder for him.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I can get things done for myself.

He has too much to do now and is unable to handle everything. It would be inappropriate to get rid of a capable and coordinated subordinate too early.

And the Nascent Soul stage is obviously not something that can be restored casually. Just looking at the Xinglingjing in Yuxing's secret collection, you can know that it must be a great opportunity to succeed!
Take out the two balls of evil spirits obtained at the trade fair:
"Magnetic fog evil" and "Five poisonous evil".

He exchanged the Peach Blossom Evil with the Lord of Xiyin Cave. Now with these two types added, there are exactly seven types, which are enough for him to perfect the Seven Evils Soul-Locking Technique!
Three months later.

Hearing a noise outside the cave, he came out and opened the cave to take a look.

Master Mo Lian and the others have already gathered outside: "Brother Lian Sha, the Withering and Flourishing Conference is not far away. We have been waiting for you for a long time. How about we go together?"

Lin Shan readily agreed.

With a flick of his sleeves, groups of black beetles flew out, forming a beetle flying boat, inviting everyone to come aboard.

"Hey~"

Two rows of waves spread out in all directions, the leaves and dust on the ground were flying, and the flying boat had already cut through the sky.

The target is directly at the Dead Tree Cliff.

Jiaoning City gradually fell behind us and turned into a small dot, with patches of primeval forest passing below.

Everyone sat at the bow of the flying boat, stroking the moving and crawling beetles and admiring them endlessly.

"Brother Liansha has only been here for three months, and he has already mastered the art of controlling insects to such an extent that it is probably not inferior to flying magic weapons!"

"No, it's just a trick I learned long ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the famous "Flying Guide", right?"

"Oh? Madam White Bone knows this technique?"

Lin Shan looked over in surprise, he didn't expect there was an expert there.

Mrs. White Bone is delicate and weak, charming and enchanting, as if she would fall down if a gust of wind blew.

That slender waist can be held in one hand, and when one sees it, one can't wait to play with it.

Her eyes moved and she giggled at Lin Shan with her hands covering her mouth.

"I know a little bit. I remember that there is a top-level magic sect in the Chu Kingdom, called the Hell Demon Palace! It is a holy place for the cultivation of authentic magic energy, and controlling magic insects is one of the hall's signature skills. The "Flying Treasure Book" is also the inherited magic spell of the hall!"

"What???"

The other people all looked over at him, with strange looks in their eyes, which made Lin Shan feel uneasy.

"Does Daoist Liansha have such a background?"

"No wonder, no wonder."

"I knew that someone with such strength must have an extraordinary background!"

"."

Lin Shan didn’t know what to say. It was the first time he heard that “The Flying Manual” had such an origin!
Fortunately, this is Jin State, so it doesn't hurt to use it. Chu State is far away and not many people know this trick.

It seems that I have to act with caution in the future, otherwise I will offend another major sect if I am not careful!

No matter how he explained afterwards, this group of people felt that there must be someone behind him and he was definitely not a casual cultivator.

I just let them guess.

Two days later, streams of light could be seen flying around, all converging towards one place.

Occasionally, people would fight each other during the process.

"The Dead Tree Cliff is in front of us, not far from here. It is said that no fighting is allowed within a hundred miles."

Mrs. Bai Gu pursed her lips and carefully took the initiative to explain to him.

She even half leaned against Lin Shan, trying to get close to him intentionally or unintentionally along the way, and she was almost about to squeeze her body into his arms!

Master Mo Lian and True Man Xie Xin secretly thought that this boy was so lucky. Madam Bai Gu was a rare and exquisite beauty. She was beautiful and seductive, a rare beauty in the world of magic cultivation.

What do you like about this guy?

Lin Shan didn't care. He tightened his collar and wrapped himself tightly, fearing that he would be recognized by others.

When we arrived at the Dead Tree Cliff, we found that it was much bigger than we had imagined!

A towering tree is lush and green, with flourishing branches and leaves, like a giant canopy holding up the sky, shading an area of ​​ten miles in radius!

There is not a single plant growing around the cliff where it has taken root. It is completely bare and there are no flying insects or animals.

As the saying goes, a single flower stands out from the crowd.

Other plants have no ability to compete and naturally cannot survive.

Under the tree, a huge platform was built.

A large number of monks had already taken their seats, and there were also a lot of dwarfs walking around. When I got closer, I found that they were little people with big noses and short legs.

"This is the goblin tribe, which belongs to the alien race. They are naturally good at mining, smelting copper, and finding fire. After being captured by the Demon Lord Ku Rong, it is said that the tribe served in Yanbeibao!"

The Godmother looked at these dwarfs with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

Who wouldn't like the Inhumans, as they are the founders of their own religion?

A capable bald young man wearing a bright red ribbon walked out. Upon seeing them coming, he hurried forward to greet them, smiling and bowing.

“Welcome everyone!”

"Master Mo Lian of Panlong Mansion, Master Xie Xin of Bu Nian Peak, Godmother Ji Sheng of Baihua Sect, and Lady Bai Gu of Bai Gu Demon Lord!"

"Who is this"

The man looked at Lin Shan and couldn't help but pause.

"Haha, this is the master of Liansha Cave, a fellow cultivator we met on the road. We came here together because we had a common rapport." Master Mo Lian stepped forward to introduce him, taking the initiative to resolve the awkwardness.

At the same time, he secretly sent a message to Lin Shan:
"This person is the youngest and youngest disciple of Demon Lord Ku Rong, Ku Quanzi. It is said that he was snatched from a large demon sect. He has the best talent among all the disciples and is highly valued by the Demon Lord!"

Lin Shan quickly bowed.

Ku Quanzi was arrogant and proud, and he returned the greeting indifferently, obviously thinking that Ku Quanzi had no background and was not worthy of making friends with him.

Master Mo Lian hurriedly sent a message to Ku Quanzi, telling him about the performance of the Lord of Liansha Cave at the Jiaoning City Trade Fair and his extraordinary strength, which finally attracted Ku Quanzi's attention.

This person was quite frank and turned back to apologize to Lin Shan:
"I didn't know your ability just now, so I was a little negligent. It's my fault. Please don't mind. Please follow me."

Lin Shan nodded, not taking it seriously. It was just a pseudonym after all, and he had no intention of joining the Demon Lord Kuruo. This trip was just a side job.

Ku Quanzi led them to a seat and then went to entertain others.

As people came and went, there were countless Jindan and Foundation Establishment cultivators on the field!
The scale of this scene was not small. It was said that not only the Jin State, but also the independent cultivators from the surrounding countries came specially, not to mention those major forces that were on good terms with the Demon Lord Kuruo.

Although this kind of conference is intended to select talents and there are some innate thresholds, the number of independent cultivators is huge!

The standard of the banquet was not bad. With the power and status of the Demon Lord, it was no problem for him to provide them with a feast of the most delicious food.

During the meal, Lin Shan sensed something was wrong.

Mrs. White Bone, who was traveling with him, had no problems on the way, but after coming here, not only did she sit next to him, she even rubbed against him intentionally or unintentionally!

He moved to the side without leaving a trace and glanced at Madam White Bone beside him. He originally thought that this name was due to her magical powers, but he didn't expect that she was really the wife of the White Bone Demon Lord!

Good man, you are the wife of the Demon Lord, why do you always stick to me?
"Brother Liansha, we are here to watch the ceremony just for the sake of formality. But you are different. You have a chance to take the first place. Don't hide your incompetence!"

Master Mo Lian was telling the story nearby.

"Demon Lord Ku Rong is a veteran Yuanying-stage cultivator of our Jin State. He not only has a wide range of friends and connections, but even if he stomps his feet, the Jin State will tremble three times!"

"Moreover, he is also one of the leaders of the loose cultivator camp!"

"Among them, Jiaoning City is the geographical center of all the immortal cities in the northern part of Jin State. It holds a pivotal position. All the major forces have industries in it and must rely on it."

"In the slave trade, their goblins are recognized as the slaves with the highest quality, the best training, and the most complete after-sales service. As a result, they are boycotted by the aliens. However, those aliens in the human kingdom can do nothing about it."

At this point, Xie Xin Zhenren took over and gave him an example.

"You know the remnant of the Jiuyou Sect who fled from the State of Chu a century ago. They have been hiding in the Yuanmo Sect and dare not come out. They are being watched closely by countless people from the outside world, waiting to eat them alive!"

"Later, Young Master Jiuyou was appreciated by Demon Lord Ku Rong, and these covetous people disappeared in an instant! All the people in Jiuyou Sect can now be active in Jin State openly without fear of any threats!"

"The influence and prestige of Demon Lord Kuruo can be seen from this in Jin State."

The Godmother Ji Sheng also sighed repeatedly. Even though she came from a big sect, she wanted to join the Demon Lord Ku Rong.

"The Demon Lord currently has three disciples. The eldest disciple is stationed in Yanbei Fort, the second disciple is in charge of Jiaoning City, and the third disciple stays in Kushu Cliff. They have all made their own achievements and have been entrusted with important tasks. In the future, they will all be giants in the world of cultivation!"

"Brother Liansha, from your voice, you should be quite young, and you have been able to cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Core at such an early age. If you can become the disciple of the Demon Lord, you will have a bright future!"

“No matter what background you had before, it won’t conflict with you here. The Demon Lord is tolerant and open-minded. His eldest disciple, Ku Yuzi, was originally an abandoned child of the Yu family, a family of demonic cultivation. Now he has left the family and joined the independent cultivation camp, and has been entrusted with power and trust!”

Having said that, how could Lin Shan not understand?
These people thought that they were abandoned followers of some powerful force and were hunted down all the way and forced to flee to the State of Jin. In addition, they killed too many people on the way, so they hid their heads and dared not show their faces to others.

This guess is very reasonable. Considering his age, cultivation, appearance, behavior, wealth, etc., it is very close to the truth!
There are also many abandoned disciples in the Demonic Kingdom. After all, their conduct has never been very decent, and they always get into trouble. The old monsters in the upper echelons also have ulterior motives, which leads to constant friction among the various forces.

It is understandable that young people like Lin Shan rebel.

"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."

He knew that these people made friends with him because they must have seen his strength and potential. So, it wouldn't hurt to just come and hang out and make some friends.

During the journey, he kept looking around, looking for people related to Young Master Jiuyou.

Not to mention, he actually found a large number of seats near the front desk, and there was an old acquaintance of his sitting there.

Duck protector!
At this time, the old fellow was talking to a burly man with a dark face next to him, and they were talking to a young man in the foundation-building stage.

Lin Shan opened his starry eyes and suddenly glanced over there!

Fortunately, it was in the qi-watching mode and no one was alarmed. All I saw was one red and two black qi pillars standing tall, extremely bright.

The red one is the young man in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the middle, bright and eye-catching, at the peak of his career!

The dark ones are the two people beside him, looking gloomy and shaky!
It doesn't take much thought to figure out that the young man in the middle is most likely the so-called disciple that his good brother uses to neutralize his bad luck - 'Hao Yun'!
Next to them are naturally the Wu Protector and the Tie Protector.

You know what about Hao Yun, he is just as his name suggests, he looks ordinary on the outside, nothing special about him, but from the perspective of luck, he is very prosperous and flourishing!

The fire was raging, rolling and surging, as if it was about to soar into the sky, and it could not be extinguished!

It can be said that this is the luckiest person Lin Shan has ever seen!
"Brother, you have something. Where did you find such a person?"

Lin Shan was a little surprised. This luck was too good. If Young Master Jiuyou really brought this person with him into the Yuxing secret treasure house, he might be able to survive.

As for the two guardians beside them, they were in great misfortune and looked like they would not live long.

This...could it be that luck is turning against me?
Will you be unlucky if you follow a lucky guy?

He couldn't help but take a few more glances and discovered that both the Wu Protector and the Tie Protector were in the late Jindan stage of cultivation, but they both couldn't hide their worries about the future, and their concerns were definitely different.

One is a traitor, the other is a loyal and devoted guardian.

But, this disaster
I'm afraid we're going to face a bloody disaster!

Lin Shan seemed to be lost in thought, wondering how he could get in touch with them without arousing suspicion.

At this time, the protector Wu was still trying to persuade Hao Yun earnestly.

"Young Master, the young master is dead. This is a fact that even the Lord Demon has to acknowledge. Why are you so stubborn?"

"We have been ostracized by Ku Yuzi and Ku Quanzi here anyway, so why don't we just leave and get out of this life of living under someone else's roof?"

"When the young master was here, these people could only be suppressed. Now that the young master is gone, they are jumping for joy more than anyone else!"

"Can you bear to see the team left behind by the young master being pushed to the margins step by step, gradually reduced in number, and then slowly declining and dispersing?"

Hao Yun sighed and looked at the people coming and going at the Kuruo Conference. The lively and prosperous atmosphere here formed a sharp contrast with the cold and indifferent world on his side, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Guardian Wu, I know that staying here is just waiting for death, but you tell me, the Nine Nether Sect is surrounded by enemies. If we don't rely on Lord Kuruo Rong, who else can we turn to?"

"Have you forgotten that your master had a close friend who protected the Jiuyou Sect for decades?"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Wu Hu's eyes, and he began to persuade her patiently.
