Chapter 705: Integrate the overall situation and strengthen in seclusion

On the Jin Yao Peak.

Two groups of people are confronting each other.

On one side was the leader, and behind him were several Jindan-stage cultivators, all of whom were remnants of the Wild Bear Gang. They had just surrendered and been temporarily accepted by the Kun Sect because of their meritorious service.

The other wave was Taoist Cang Xuan and Zhenren Linli. These two people took advantage of the critical point of three days and forcibly captured Luohou Peak and Jidu Peak.

Because of the heavy casualties, he felt that he had made a great contribution.

And this is indeed the case. They have recruited and gathered many Jindan Zhenren from the former Jiuyao Peak. No one wants to leave here, so they stick together for warmth.

But they also knew that if they went against the Kun Cult, they would surely die miserably. They had witnessed the battle at Jin Yao Peak that day, and without the Kun Cult leader taking action, the Wild Bear Gang was completely wiped out.

Now that they have come out of the border, these scattered soldiers and rogue soldiers will definitely not be able to stop them.

This time, the Giant Spirit Sect and the Butterfly Valley actually deployed heavy troops, but they were still wiped out by their sudden attack. Afterwards, when they learned that Ke Jizi and others helped them block the reinforcements, they naturally understood the deep intention of the leader of the Kun Sect, so they dared to come to Jin Yao Peak in person to surrender.

As a result, they met the Wild Bear Gang, a group of people who had also surrendered!

It is precisely because they caused their families to be broken up and their loved ones to be displaced that they naturally hate them to the core.

Now that the man on Xiong Mountain has lost his power, he has the courage to challenge him. They are blocking the top of the mountain and it seems that a conflict is about to break out!
At this time Lin Shan happened to bring people back.

"What are you doing? How can you gather here?"

The two groups looked embarrassed and quickly separated.

"Come in together, it's a good opportunity to assign the next tasks."

Everyone filed in.

In the blood pool hall, baby monsters were being thrown in one after another, while on the other side, special disciples were salvaging them under the leadership of the deacon.

The project was quite large and required a considerable amount of manpower.

These new monster cubs were recently purchased in large quantities from the nearby fairy city, and were selected into the training team after strict selection.

The little fox girl was standing by the blood pool, with a soul-locking pot slung across her chest, chatting idly with the pot's spout.

It is not difficult to imagine that the remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord is doing his best to seduce her inside.

After seeing Lin Shan coming, he secretly gave him a look. This guy has been very dishonest recently, always thinking about going to the Demon City to find a cub to take over. He questioned Lin Shan how long he would drag it out.

"Tell it to first train at least 20,000 demon dogs for the Kun Sect before considering taking it out to seize another body!"

Lin Shan walked through it without paying much attention to this side, and sat on the leader's throne at the end of the hall.

Behind him was Brother Ji, with a spotted puppy lying on his back, looking around with clear eyes. When passing by the blood pool, he showed obvious curiosity.

The Soul-Locking Pot, which was shaking excitedly, suddenly stopped in front of the little fox girl's majestic chest!

".???"

The remaining soul inside seemed to sense something, and soon calmed down and became quiet.

The little fox girl felt drowsy while listening to Lin Shan's speech. Suddenly, without the remnant soul of the Demon Dog Lord chattering to wake her up, she was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"

The Soul-Locking Pot remained silent.

On the stage, a tense and fast-paced atmosphere was brewing.

"The Giant Spirit Sect and Butterfly Valley have begun to gather their forces and have decided to attack the vicinity of Jiuyao Peak!"

"It seems that they feel the time is ripe for harvesting. Southeast Chu is really in troubled times, with one crisis after another."

"Yes, ever since the Beixian Fort was torn apart, the Jiuyao Alliance was destroyed, and the Wild Bear Gang was overthrown, the three major forces were all dispersed. Now only our Kun Sect is relatively independent and complete, but it is obviously unable to control the vast territory of the surrounding six states and nineteen prefectures!"

"We are not yet stable in the new religion. We have barely controlled the Jiuyao Peaks, but we have not yet completely integrated them. Can we really stop the two overlords of Southeast Chu?"

"The Giant Spirit Sect and Butterfly Valley are powerful, and their vassal sects and families are countless. Why don't we temporarily trade space for time, give up the periphery, and focus on repairing our own copper wall and iron wall to form a whole."

Everyone was talking at once, and although they all seemed to be offering suggestions and contributing their ideas, in fact they all had their own ulterior motives and were not of one mind at all.

This subtle atmosphere was also noticed by the top leaders of Kun Sect.

Luanchun and Linshan exchanged glances, cleared their throats and spoke.

"Everyone, silence!"

"Now that the Kun Cult has been reorganized, everyone is welcome to join, but rules must be established to prevent any mistakes from happening in the future. If the punishment is not good, everyone will not be convinced."

"First of all, all the appointments will be made. Fellow Daoist Cang Xuan will be the master of Luohou Peak, Fellow Daoist Linli will be the master of Jidu Peak, Fellow Daoist Ke Jizi will be the master of Riyao Peak, and Fellow Daoist Xiyin will be the master of Yueyao Peak. Each of them will have the autonomy of their own mountain gate, but they must obey the command of Kun Sect and ask for instructions on all major matters!"

"The five peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are directly governed by the Kun Sect. Each term is two years, and temporary peak masters are sent in rotation to take charge."

"All the people who surrendered to the Wild Bear Gang must work at the main peak of Jin Yao Peak for five years before they can be transferred to other places to serve."

"Daoyou Xiongshan is sent as an inspector to lead the former members of the Nine Lights Alliance to the outer states to block and slow down the progress of the Giant Spirit Sect and the Butterfly Valley."

"Master Zhiyu, please work harder and rebuild the mountain protection formation for each of the Nine Lights Peaks one by one."

"Do you have any objections?"

The faces of these people turned pale, and they obviously heard the hidden meaning.

Arranging Taoist Cangxuan and Zhenren Linli to Luohou Peak and Jidu Peak means placing them on the opposite side of Julingmen and Butterfly Valley, and moving them out of the old nest that they have painstakingly managed for a hundred years.

The Sunny Peak and the Moonny Peak were given to Ke Ji Zi and Xi Yin Cave Master, with the obvious intention of eliminating their influence.

The five peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are directly under the central government of Kunjiao in rotation to ensure absolute stability.

The surrendered members of the Wild Bear Gang stayed at the main peak, Jin Yao Peak, in order to separate themselves from the people of Bear Mountain and not give him the opportunity to gather his direct lineage.

The purpose of assigning the former deceased Jindan Zhenren of Jiuyao Peak to serve as subordinates of the enemy Master Xiongshan, and sending them to the outer provinces to resist foreign enemies is self-evident!

In fact, there is a deeper meaning behind this, which no one knows except Lin Shan.

Master Xiongshan has a great karma on his shoulders and he absolutely cannot stay in Kun Sect. He must be sent out, otherwise he is likely to face a disaster.

Because his master, the Nascent Soul cultivator Jinglian, is the reincarnation of a patrolling immortal from the upper realm. This was said by Youying Star Lord himself, so it is probably correct!
The waters of this world are very deep, and the upper world needs to send immortals to the earth secretly. It is conceivable that there are major secrets hidden. Even the fact that Master Jinglian was hunted down by many powerful people may not be without the intention of the mysterious forces behind him to secretly add fuel to the flames. As his disciple, Master Xiongshan is involved in major causality. If his secret identity is discovered, he may become a bargaining chip for others to control Master Jinglian!

Lin Shan naturally didn't want to be dragged down or affected by this kind of time bomb, but he also couldn't just kill them and be done with it. Neither Master Jinglian nor the dark forces were anyone he could afford to offend.

Since this guy surrendered to me, I would send him out to fight. He could run away if he wanted to, or stay if he wanted to. I didn't even force him to sign any contract.

Anyway, as the official scapegoat, I can let them mess around outside and just keep the Wild Bear Gang's direct descendants for my use.

Only Taoist Zhui Yu had a bitter face.

There really was a thousand horses galloping through his heart!

You're leaving all the protective formations of the nine sacred mountains to him alone. Do you want to tire me to death?
The mountain protection formation is different from the ordinary fourth-tier master-level formation because it has an extremely wide coverage area and there are tens of thousands of formation bases. What a huge amount of work it requires!

At that time, the Black Skull Demon Lord also kept Jin Yaofeng busy for two months.

Taoist Zhiyu would not rest in the middle and it would take him one and a half years to finish it!
The situation in the hall was delicate, and everyone's eyes were wandering. Although they were very unwilling in their hearts, no one dared to step forward under Lin Shan's gaze.

Luanchun waited for half an incense stick of time:
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's do as you say!"

Although it seems like strong suppression, in the magic world, gentleness will not accomplish anything big, so you have to cut the Gordian knot!
Lin Shan nodded, stood up and left without saying a word, completely handing over power to Luanchun.

Lin Fan and Brother Ji looked at each other, turned around and followed. These two often played and fought, but in the blink of an eye they were arm in arm again.

The others had bitter faces, preparing to cooperate with the next integration process.

The integration of Kun Sect is not a one-day task. During this period everyone was busy, and Lin Shan, the nominal leader, once again went into deep seclusion.

Now that he had settled down, he no longer had any worries, and his main goal became improving his cultivation and developing his spiritual body.

Currently, my main cultivation level is the late Jindan stage, and my Hundan has always been the middle Hundan stage. I haven't had time to improve it since I came out of Yuxing's secret hiding place. Now I have a chance to take a break from my busy schedule and cultivate the two in parallel and make progress at the same pace.

The next step is to use the formation of the wind spirit body to study the secret technique "Wind Escape Technique" that he has coveted for a long time!
His secret room for training was located in the deepest part of the mountain behind Jin Yao Peak. An area of ​​one hundred meters in radius was designated as a restricted area. Outside the line, there were many sentries, and the deacons and disciples of the Kun Sect took turns guarding it day and night.

No one from outside is allowed to approach.

Because the Kun sect is now a mixed bag and not as pure as before, he places the Ming Snake Tushita flag next to him to prevent any accidents.

This retreat was very long.

Even if one has the soul source in hand and the speed of cultivation is steadily increasing, it still requires a long time to hone one's skills.

During this period, there were constant conflicts and quarrels among the Jiuyao Peaks.

Many foreign forces were infiltrating, sowing discord, and dividing. There were even many spies sneaking in, instigating rebellions, and revolts, which were then suppressed.

The undercurrent was surging and heads fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

The worst incident was when a Jindan Zhenren even rebelled and almost took control of the peak with the help of internal and external forces!
Because of her brutal and ruthless actions and iron-blooded methods, Luan Chun was exaggerated and hyped up by hostile forces, and was even dubbed the female devil in the southeastern Chu cultivation world!
In the outside world, the Giant Spirit Sect and the Butterfly Valley gathered a large number of affiliated forces, formed a mighty coalition, and advanced around to gradually encroach on the legacy left by the Beixian Castle.

Master Xiong Shan brought many Jindan-stage cultivators, all of whom were former masters of Jiuyao Peak, to recapture the Wild Bear Gang's barrier that had been lost before.

The six states and nineteen prefectures were divided into two.

As the two sides compete for territory, friction is inevitable.

After distributing the cake and thoroughly digesting the acquired resources, the Giant Spirit Sect and Butterfly Valley launched a surprise attack in two directions!

Master Xiongshan was unable to defend both sides and was forced to ask for help from Jiuyao Peak.

Over there, Taoist Cang Xuan and Zhenren Linli led the original members of the Wild Bear Gang to come to support, each defending one side.

Although they were restraining each other, they were able to hold the front line, which was better than the potential risk of mutiny and escape.

Lin Fan and Brother Ji have been in charge of Kun Sect.

First, it is to maintain the stability of Jiuyao Peak, which is the basic foundation that cannot afford any mistakes, so as to quickly suppress unstable factors;

The second is to protect Lin Shan and monitor the soul of the Demon Dog Lord.

The leader of the snake woman tribe from another world descended many times during this period, with clones and projections, but they were all driven away by Lin Fan and Brother Ji, who did not give her any chance, saving Lin Shan a lot of trouble.

As expected, the Wudao Sect also took action. The Butian Pavilion responded quickly and sent people to investigate the truth of the matter. They learned that the Kun Sect had killed all of their previous group.

He secretly collected items that carried the personal scent of key figures and continuously cursed the deacons and disciples of the entire mountain, causing sudden deaths every once in a while, making everyone in the Kun Sect panic.

After investigation, Luanchun discovered that there were indeed people from the Wudao Sect secretly contacting the Giant Spirit Sect and the Butterfly Valley. Realizing that the other party was retaliating against him, he quickly organized everyone in the sect to draw attention and keep their personal belongings safe, making sure they could not leak them and not give the other party a chance to curse him.

This kind of precautionary awareness is very common in the magic world. After intensive training, it has obviously blocked many hidden dangers, making it difficult for the opponent to curse.

Although it cannot be completely eliminated, it does reduce the frequency of incidents.

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord has completely become a tool to be used. It works hard every day to help cultivate large armies of monsters and then send them to the front line to resist the attack.

The little fox girl waited and waited but there was no news from the human-faced fox clan. It was as if she had been forgotten by her mother clan. She could only stay here in a depressed mood, guarding the remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord all day long.

Whenever he was asked, "When can I take it to possess another body?", he would answer according to what he had been told before.

"Let's wait until the leader comes out of seclusion."

The Demon Dog Lord was furious. Such a long time had passed. When had that kid gone into seclusion? Why had he been wasting his time like this?

In the secret room.

Lin Shan's aura has been rising steadily over the years. Now, after being doubly covered by the golden elixir and the soul elixir, his aura has become unfathomable!
Moreover, he possesses the secret "Earth Treasure Heart Sutra" of Xushen Mountain, which completely makes up for his previous and later foundations. He can pass all the levels smoothly and his realm is as solid as a rock!
He opened his eyes, and two whirlpools even flew out of his eyes. A storm swept through his eyes, and then calmed down.

He put away the Wind Escape Technique between his knees.

Deep in the mind and soul, a small tornado was slowly spinning, parallel to the magical mark next to it, hanging in the spiritual consciousness area, flashing slightly.

This is the spell mark!
Because it involves the unique talents of the spirit body and the particularity of its integration with heaven and earth, it is not just a simple mark or seed shape, but a truly concrete thing.

Lin Shan looked inward at his soul and his mood became calm.

He opened his lips slightly and gave the long-awaited command to the mark.

"Wind Escape Technique"

"strengthen!"
