Immortal Road.

Chapter 687: Changing sides at the last minute, a fire at home

"Master Huoyao Peak, you originally had the disciple mark of Huoyao Star Lord on your head, but it is now shaky. Hmm, I guess it's about to fall off!"

Just as Zhu Duiyou finished speaking, another scout came to report.

"Peak Master, Huoyao Peak is being attacked by Jinyao Peak!"

"What???"

The leader of Huoyao Peak was furious. He stood up and asked loudly at a certain place in the tent.

"Jin Yaofeng, your Kun Sect attacked me once several years ago, but I didn't bother with you. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, you are still so short-sighted. Do you really think I dare not touch you?"

Jin Yaofeng represented there, where sat a female cultivator in a green dress. She was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. She was not that conspicuous among the many people present and had always been very low-key.

Being suddenly called out, he looked confused.

"Master Huoyao, please don't say anything careless. We in Kun Sect have always been law-abiding. How could we sneak attack and seize your mountain gate?"

Several female cultivators from Shuiyao Peak who were close to her stood up and spoke.

"This matter still needs to be verified, Fire Peak Master, please don't be fooled!"

"Daoist Fellow Luanchun has always been low-key, there must be something fishy about this matter."

"That military advisor from Beixian Fortress doesn't look like a good guy. There's nothing going on normally, but he came all the time. There must be something strange going on!"

The last sentence expressed everyone’s thoughts.

Many people were skeptical, thinking that it was too much of an act for Zhu Duiyou to just talk and then someone else would come to cooperate.
Only the few peak masters involved, after thoroughly interrogating their own informants, believed in their statements.

Some people even used soul search but found no connection with Zhu Duiyou!
"Everyone, I am just observing the qi, interpreting it, and reminding you. I am not colluding with anyone. You can rest assured."

Zhu Duiyou then glanced at Luanchun, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly turned back.

"Hey, your luck seems to be extraordinary, winding and twisting like a vine, as if you are clinging to a dragon or a phoenix, as if you have attached yourself to an extraordinary existence!"

Luanchun didn't believe him at all. She sneered and spit at him, ignoring him completely.

She had just recently broken through to the Jindan stage and was finally able to help Brother Ji. She was appointed as the second guardian of the Kun Sect, in charge of all internal and external affairs of the sect.

It was her breakthrough that enabled the Kun Sect to finally have a Jindan Zhenren who could serve as a facade for the sect.

This time the Nine Stars united to resist foreign invasion. As the representative of Jin Yao Peak, she led the disciples in the sect to join the war. However, due to her low level of cultivation and the absence of the leader of the Kun Sect, she attracted a lot of gossip.

So he established good relationships with several female cultivators from Shuiyao Peak and stood together with them.

He completely scoffed at the information that Jin Yao Peak was going to launch a surprise attack on Huo Yao Peak.

There is no other Jindan-stage cultivator in the sect except her, so who else can sneak attack Huoyao Peak? This is clearly a lie!

Not only her, most other people didn't believe it!

The two peak masters of Riyue Peak and Yueyue Peak originally wanted to meet Zhu Duiyou, but after they really invited him in, they found that he was completely different from what they had imagined.

This kid's few casual remarks made everyone panic and the situation was about to break down.

Zhu Duiyou turned his head and just happened to look at Linli Zhenren, the master of Yueyao Peak, and opened his mouth to say something.

Linli Zhenren suddenly shouted:
"shut up!"

Zhu Duiyou: “.?”

Taoist Cang Xuan from Ri Yao Peak stood up instantly and locked him firmly with the Qi of the late Jindan stage.

"This man is spreading lies to confuse the people, shake the morale of the army, and alienate the alliance. We can't let him stay! In my opinion, we should just kill him and be done with it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.

Then Linli Zhenren also stood up with a murderous look on his face.

"That's right. I have long seen that his motives are not pure. This time he is trying to trick us into losing our composure. This must be a vicious plot by Beixian Castle!"

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and were inclined to agree with him.

Instead, it was the former Luohou Peak Master, Old Man Yanmo, who had previously urged not to let Zhu Duiyou in and whose hometown had been robbed, who spoke out to stop it.

"Don't be impulsive. When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys. If we kill envoys, it has always been the case that the stronger party kills the weaker party. We are already at a disadvantage. If we kill them, we will have to pay an equal price to make up for it in future peace talks. It is actually useless."

This is a very clear statement. Now you may feel gratified for a moment and vent your anger at the moment, but when you want to negotiate later, the other party also asks you to kill your people. Will you agree or not?
Therefore, everything must be equal. The weaker party has no say, and only the stronger party can act with impunity. Those who want to kill you dare not speak out.

Zhu Duiyou was almost frightened, but fortunately someone came out to help him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained the pros and cons to everyone on the scene.

"I am just an advisor in front of the Beixian Fort. Killing me will not change anything. On the contrary, it will make the situation worse. You should know that Jiuyao Peak, Beixian Fort and Wild Bear Gang are now in a three-way competition. Geographical conflicts are inevitable, but forces can make friends with distant forces and attack nearby ones. Let's not talk about anything else, just..."

"enough!"

The masters of the Sun Peak and Moon Peak are now united in spirit and are working together to test the pressure on the Nightmare Old Man.

"When this man came, he caused Brother Dao to lose his territory and had no place to stand. You are still helping him. It's hard for us not to doubt your motives!"

"you."

The old man, the Nightmare Demon, was so angry that his hands were shaking.

"You actually doubt me?"

Zhu Duiyou immediately took advantage of the situation, held on to his thigh, and dug the person out.

“Fellow Daoist Nightmare, these people are short-sighted and forget their principles for the sake of small profits. They are bound to fail if they try to steal the base before the battle! Since they suspect you, why don’t they come to our Beixian Fort? By then, Jiuyao Peak will be ours sooner or later, and you can still take it back!”

Everyone was furious and stood up to humiliate the messenger.

The masters of Riyue Peak and Yueyue Peak didn't waste time talking to him and took action directly to suppress the envoy!

"I will capture you first today, and then negotiate with the Lord of Beixian Fort to release you as a bargaining chip."

"If he doesn't care about you, then just send him to the Broken Head Cliff and let you drink as much Alpine Cloud Tea as you want in the future!"

Zhu Duiyou was still young, and his magic power was far less than that of these two. Moreover, this was the base camp of Jiuyao Peak, and so many Jindan Zhenren were locking their energy on him, making him unable to move at all.

The two of them are about to arrive!

"Don't push me, there's someone behind me!"

"Boom~~~"

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion outside the big tent, and two crescent moons shot out, forcing the masters of the Sun Peak and Moon Peak to retreat in steps.

The big tent collapsed, and everyone's heads were brightly lit.

I saw dark clouds pressing down on the sky, that was the army formation formed by the evil spirit!

A short man in a black robe was in the middle of the clouds, and behind him was a phantom of a high-spirited horse, running in the air. It was the famous "Sky-supporting Wildebeest Formation" among the demons. Outside the camp, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had already rushed in and began to attack the camp.

A dozen small black dots jumped down from the demonic cloud and headed straight for the central army tent, each riding a rainbow at an incredibly fast speed.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, where are you?"

Hearing the call from afar, Zhu Duiyou shouted excitedly.

"Brother Dai, I'm here!"

Dai Budong immediately led the Jindan Zhenren of Beixian Fort to come and welcome him back.

How could the Jindan Zhenren of Jiuyao Peak let them come and go as they please? They all attacked at the same time!

For a moment, all kinds of magical powers filled the air, and light and shadow intertwined, with battles breaking out one after another.

On the top of a mountain in the distance.

Master Xiong Shan sat in a sedan chair, with more than ten Jindan Zhenren lined up behind him. They looked at the smoke and fire in the camp from afar and remained motionless.

No one had any intention of taking action.

"Let Beixian Fort take the lead first, rush in and fight them for a while, and when both sides are exhausted, we will go in and attack them by surprise!"

These people had no objection, and the true disciples of the Wudao Sect took out a number of props and began to prepare for the ceremony, cursing key figures before the battle to deplete the target's combat power.

Zhenren Linli and Taoist Cangxuan of Jiuyao Peak showed their extraordinary power. After all, they were veterans in the late Jindan period and had the geographical advantage. They relied on the military camp formation to encircle and suppress the people of Beixian Fort.

The short man in black in the sky was not worried at all and commanded the military spirits to swoop down.

Outside the camp, thousands of horses were galloping with great momentum.

"Charge! This time we will lead the charge and break through this barrier in one fell swoop, breaking through the psychological defenses of Jiuyao Peak and making it impossible for them to organize a decent resistance!"

Qianbu waved his hand, and all the cultivators and monsters behind him obeyed his command and acted according to the plan as units.

So many years have passed, and he, a surrendered man, has actually gained the trust of Mr. Bei and obtained the right to control all the troops in Beixian Castle!

This battle lasted for a long time.

The monks from both sides were so bloodthirsty that the mud and blood flowed in the rain, creating a tragic picture.

When both sides were exhausted, a new force came to attack again!
The Wild Bear Gang's army was well-rested and overturned the obstacles on the flanks with overwhelming force. They attacked from both sides and caught the Nine Lights Peak Alliance off guard.
The nine alliances were originally divided in appearance but loosely cobbled together, and now they are surrounded on three sides with one missing, and are gradually unable to hold on.

The fights among high-level monks are more dangerous and one could die if one is not careful, so both sides are relatively restrained. However, in certain situations, they become caught in a dilemma!

"Old Nightmare Demon, what on earth are you doing? Why can't you even take down two youngsters in such a long time?"

The masters of the Sun Peak and the Moon Peak were fighting desperately with the master of the Beixian Fort in the sky and the demon army. The task of hunting down Zhu Duiyou and Dai Budong was given to the old man Nightmare.

But this old guy didn't make any progress at all, which made the two of them very angry.

Little did he know that on the battlefield, things were changing rapidly and Zhu Duiyou was still fighting and persuading.

"Fellow Daoist Nightmare, think about it yourself. Was your Luohou Peak harvested by the people of Jiuyao Peak?"

"You fought bravely on the front line, and they sat back to reap the fruits of your labor and stabbed you in the back. How short-sighted!"

"If you associate with them, you will lose everything sooner or later. That's for sure!"

"And now, you are actually homeless, so why don't you just come to us and fight for the world together? When the time comes, we can conquer Jiuyao and you can choose any place you want!"

Master Nightmare was very excited. He was thinking while fighting, and it was obvious that his confidence was shaken and he was on the verge of collapse.

At this time, the Wild Bear Gang also sent out their troops to attack, and the timing was just right.

Finally, after Zhu Duiyou's strenuous encouragement, he finally agreed and was convinced.

Qianbu had just led his troops to attack the main camp at this time. Master Yanmo secretly sent a message to his own men, and they turned against him at the same time!

The Jiuyao Alliance collapsed in an instant, and the military lost all morale and fighting spirit.

Many Jindan Zhenren were shocked. They had been keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully. They couldn't help but hesitate when they saw this scene.

They retreated secretly one after another, and finally, when they realized that the situation was hopeless, they decisively led their subordinates to withdraw.

"Master Nightmare, you traitor, it's all your fault!"

The Sun Peak Master and the Moon Peak Master looked up to the sky and sighed, cursing angrily. When they saw many of their allies starting to flee, they had no choice but to leave.

"Humph, a man who knows the times is a hero."

Master Nightmare knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to argue with them.

"You will all be like me in the future. No matter how early or late it is, the people of Jiuyao Peak are all of this character. Sooner or later, you will be stabbed in the back one night."

Lin Shan traveled all the way and finally arrived at the State of Chu.

He went straight to the Jiuyao territory and Jinyao Peak to see how the Kun Sect was developing now.

But when I got here, I was suddenly stunned!

At this moment, Jin Yaofeng was engaged in an endless battle.

Outside, the army of demon dogs all over the mountains were jumping and crawling madly on the cliffs of the forest, running all the way along the mountain protection formation.

This number is even more excessive than that of the Rong Sect back then!
The remaining disciples of Kun Sect were now all huddled in the mountain protection formation, contributing their meager strength.

There was a Jindan-stage monster in the sky, and also a Magic Gold-level magic dog, commanding and attacking at the same time.

The three evil spirit brothers were present inside and did not dare to go out to fight with others. They could only stand in the formation and fight each other. However, they also had their own little tricks. They quietly absorbed the essence and blood of the corpses of the dead demon dogs, turning them into blood mist and secretly absorbed them.

And Brother Chicken has never appeared. It seems that no one has ever seen him and no one knows where he has gone!

This battle was too intense. The enemy's army of demon dogs came in waves. I don't know why they were so obsessed with this place.

Seeing that his side could no longer hold on, and even the three evil spirit brothers were about to pack up and prepare to flee, Lin Shan quickly stepped in himself.

Seven evil holes were lined up with "bang bang bang bang bang bang"!

Evil spirits walked out one after another with hot steam of different colors. Their models were completely based on what he saw and heard in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. According to his own understanding and summary, he molded various beasts and birds, which was equivalent to the seven demon armies under the command of the Kuihu Demon King!
He has gradually become familiar with the "Xuandong Xiyin Technique" over the past few days. With the help of someone like Master Xiyin who has a profound understanding of the technique and provides explanations, it would be strange if he didn't make rapid progress.

It takes a long time to cultivate evil spirits, and he doesn't have that much time, so he can only develop them in terms of quantity first.

Just as there was an urgent need for manpower, he sent down densely packed evil spirits to engage in a life-and-death battle with the army of demon dogs.

The magic gold-level magic dog outside was quite intelligent. It suddenly turned around and found Lin Shan, and shouted, asking who he was.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Lin Shan didn't respond at all, but attacked directly, using a stick to increase his magic power and swinging it downward fiercely!
