Immortal Road.

Chapter 710: Cross-border confrontation, the beginning of the Wanhui Year

Southeast of Chu, late at night.

The camp was quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional chirping of insects, which was the sound of secret signals being transmitted between the sentries in the various camps.

The man on Xiongshan Mountain was lying on his side on the bed, flipping through the military book, but he was actually thinking about...

"Now that the six prefectures and nineteen states surrounding Jiuyao have all been recovered, the leader of the Kun Cult seems to have left for some time, according to insiders. There is no room for development for me to stay here, so why not escape and find another way out?"

He has always had great ambitions, and he believes that with his water spirit body and purple parasitic tentacles, he will be able to accomplish great things.

But who would have thought that with the assistance of Wu Dao Zong, the situation was originally very good, and Jiuyao Peak was just one step away, but it was unexpectedly defeated and lost most of its team members.

Although he has joined the Kun Sect to fight outside, his subordinates are not his own people. They are only temporarily under his command. If they hear that he is going to take people away, they will definitely scatter immediately!

And all his former subordinates were with Taoist Cangxuan and Zhenren Linli. After so many years of subtle influence from the Kun Sect, they probably didn't want to follow him anymore.

"Forget it. Since I was able to build up the Wild Bear Gang in the first place, I can naturally regroup and make a comeback!"

"The leader of the Kun Cult has let the tiger go back to the mountains. He will definitely regret it in the future."

"Huh? Who!"

The tentacles under the Bear Mountain Man suddenly slapped his butt, reminding him that someone was sneaking in from outside. He was so scared that he quickly stood up and was alert to his surroundings.

A loud laugh suddenly sounded outside the tent, and a ghost-like shadow was seen floating slowly outside.

"Haha, little guy, your spiritual perception is pretty good. You can actually detect me. No wonder that old guy Jinglian accepted you as his disciple. It seems you are a spiritual body."

"!!!"

The man on Xiongshan Mountain's heart suddenly tightened and his breathing became rapid.

"Who are you? Do you know my master?"

The person outside approached slowly, and the voice sounded neither male nor female, which made people feel itchy.

"Of course, I not only know him, but I've also fought him before! But that old guy is so slippery that I can't catch him no matter what. So I had to come back to catch you, his apprentice, hehe."

"!!!"

Xiong Shanshen was greatly shocked, his eyes dodged around, and he released his spiritual sense to start thinking about a way out. At the same time, he realized that no one would come to save him.

The other party must be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, who has some grudge against the master, and came here specifically to capture it in order to threaten the master. This is obviously an unsolvable situation!

Because he believed that he could not outrun the Nascent Soul cultivators, so if they wanted to catch him, where could he run?

But in the next moment, another strange laugh was heard.

"Wow, I was wondering, how come Brother Yuan from the team who had been chasing Master Jinglian for so long suddenly disappeared? It turns out he came back to look for his disciple! How could he not call me for such a good thing?"

The newcomer's voice was as unpleasant as a night owl, hoarse and harsh. The man on Xiongshan felt dizzy just by hearing it. At this moment, he was lamenting in his heart, wondering why he was targeted by a Yuanying stage cultivator out of nowhere?
Master, you are cheating me!
In order to fight for Bear Mountain, the two men soon came into a fight, and the intense aftermath of the fight directly overturned the entire camp!
And that’s not all. More mysterious people joined the battle, making the matter even more confusing.

After that day, the Kun Cult's army suffered heavy casualties. Those who escaped back were extremely confused when they talked about this matter. They only knew that the leader of the army, Xiong Shan Shangren, disappeared from then on.
"Where's the pig-headed monster?"

When they came back, Lin Shan and his group squeezed onto the flying boat again and slowly headed home.

Because Lin Shan took three treasures related to the Nascent Soul stage this time, accounting for the majority, the other things were all divided among Lin Fan, Brother Ji, Ke Jizi and the Lord of Xiyin Cave.

As Lin Fan and Brother Ji had higher standards, they only took the things they liked, leaving most of them for themselves.

However, after collecting the storage magic tools of the Holy Son of Wudao Sect, they did not find the pig-headed monster, a creature from hell that had been lost and captured!
"That shouldn't be the case. I heard from the Wild Bear Gang that it was the Wu Dao Sect's people who captured the pig-headed monster and then presented it to the Wu Dao Sect's Holy Son. Could it be that the guy killed it?"

There is no way to figure it out, so I can only stop thinking about it.

So much time has passed that Brother Ji has long since let it go and is no longer so obsessed with the pig-headed monster's life or death. After all, it is just a clone, and the original body is living well in the hell world.

That day, we were halfway through the journey.

Suddenly, the situation between heaven and earth changed drastically, underground mountains and rivers rose up, countless plates squeezed and collided, violent volcanoes erupted, and billowing smoke filled the surroundings!

“Ka-ka-ka-ka~Bang!!!”

The sound of explosions filled the air all around, and even the vital energy surged, the five elements were in chaos, and the strong wind made the small boat in the sky sway.

Lin Shan and others were alarmed and hurriedly walked out of the boat, all of them stunned.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and suddenly it started to rain heavily!

An incomparably huge hand stretched down from the sky and reached straight into the far northwest direction of this world.

Everything changes rapidly and the golden light spreads.

There seemed to be an unknown existence fighting with it. In an instant, it could feel the earth shaking, the sky swaying, and the spiritual energy in the air lost its direction and became chaotic and disordered!
"Woo~~~"

A mournful horn sounded from the upper realm, countless shouts mixed with the sounds of weapons, and surging silver light projected straight down!

But then a black light appeared in the northwest direction of this world, instantly dispersing the silver light and going upstream into the upper world.

There was a burst of screams in an instant!
"Hmph, you traitor! You violated the laws of heaven and disturbed the world. How dare you be so arrogant? You are courting death!"

The loud voice echoed layer by layer.

The huge hand above the sky was pressing down, and one could feel the suffocation even from millions of miles away. It was as if the whole world was frozen and about to be destroyed by one hand!
A blinding light flashed, and a being from the lower realm took action, extending and expanding, and a great road clashed!

Just a moment later.

With his hand broken, he retreated in defeat, disappeared into the sky, leaving behind only his majestic voice that resounded throughout the worlds above and below.

"Today at noon, the army is ready, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are rehearsing for the drill! The rebels in the lower world have been executed, and we have returned with a great victory! We should return to the Golden Palace and have a banquet!"

"Woo-woo-woo-dili-li-li-du-du~~~"

Melodious palace music came from the upper realm. It was the melody played at the celebration banquet after the victory. No one knew who they had killed, and why they celebrated so grandly after losing the battle.

The dark light in the northwest direction condensed and did not dissipate. It slowly disappeared only after the crack in the sky was completely repaired and closed.

Meanwhile, on earth, more violent crustal movement began, the magnetic field became extremely chaotic, and many evil birds became disoriented and did not know where to fly.

Cracks and deep grooves can be seen everywhere on the ground, and fiery red geothermal magma is flowing, causing heavy casualties among humans and beasts in the mortal world.

At the same time, due to the outflow of underground spiritual veins, many new sacred mountains and blessed places have appeared. It is conceivable that this will set off another round of storms and battles in the world of cultivation!

In contrast, many spiritual veins collapsed during the changes, bringing more spiritual energy between heaven and earth, causing the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire world to rise rapidly.

Of course, many sects also lost their ancestral sacred lands and were forced to migrate, wander, fight, and aggravate the chaos in this world of cultivation!
"This is... the revival of spiritual energy. The once-in-a-millennium change has officially begun?"

Lin Fan suddenly remembered the rumor, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he understood the mystery behind it.

Brother Ji and the Lord of Xiyin Cave beside him didn't understand what was going on, but Ke Jizi, who often did archaeological work, had seen related inside information in ancient books.

"It is rumored that one era lasts 1,296,000 years. One era has ten periods, and one period lasts 129,600 years. One period also contains twelve periods, and one period lasts 1800 years."

"Every ten thousand years in history is an unprecedented era of great contention. The whole world is in full bloom, and the spiritual veins accumulated for ten thousand years gush out from the ground. Countless natural treasures are born, and even innate spiritual fetuses are born to compete for this feast and carnival!" "Every prosperous era will be accompanied by bloody storms. The world of cultivation will flow like a river, and corpses will be everywhere. One after another, the geniuses will step on the piles of bones and step onto the top of the crowd!"

"We have just caught up with the right time. We are born in a prosperous era and should be as powerful as the great roc!"

Ke Jizi was so excited that he even began to imagine that he could get a chance to break through the Nascent Soul Stage in this great trend and become a demon king who would dominate the world of cultivation!
After hearing this, Brother Ji sang and danced excitedly.

"Oh, I see. Then the leader of this sect will be able to realize his ambitions and spread the secrets of Kun Sect throughout the world to fulfill his ambitions!"

Lin Shan seemed to be lost in thought. He had not expected that what he had discussed with Old Ancestor Honglian in the red maple forest of Luosong Mountain Range that year would actually happen right under his nose today.

Suddenly!
Wanhui Year.

What a prosperous era this is!
It is not difficult to imagine that in the future, talented and promising people will appear in the world of cultivation in large numbers like a flood of carp crossing the river.

Fortunately, he already possessed first-class spiritual roots, an acquired spiritual body, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of Golden Core early, and he had his own power!
If you take a step late, it will be extremely difficult to climb up from a small shrimp in the Qi training stage, even with the help of cheating golden fingers!
After all, the monsters are practicing so fast, one step faster than the next, and he is doomed to be eliminated if he can't keep up with the times!
"After returning, immediately expand and consolidate the territory."

"The explosion of the Wanhui Year is staged, and this first explosion has produced countless geniuses. We must cast a wide net to find them in the mortal world, bring them back to the mountain gate and train them well."

"Moreover, treasures are emerging from all over the place, and they will be obtained by independent cultivators, creating many uncontrollable beings. We will also send people to collect and hunt for treasures!"

"Don't be afraid of offending others, because this world is a dog-eat-dog world. If you don't offend others, others will offend you!"

Lin Fan had obviously seen related cases in Zixiao Sect before, so he taught Brother Ji directly by words and deeds, telling it what to do in such a prosperous era.

Brother Ji naturally nodded the chicken head and accepted it all.

"Hurry back. We can't be delayed on the road. We need to make plans early."

Lin Shan directly increased the speed of the flying boat to the maximum and flew eastward with everyone.

Return to Jiuyao Peak.

I found that the terrain here can barely maintain its original state and there are no major flaws.

After all, the nine sacred mountains form a mountain range, and the spiritual dragon below is connected head to tail, so it is relatively solid and not so easy to be pried open and shattered.

It is conceivable that even those top-notch, thousand-year-old sects would not have their foundations shaken so easily.

Turbulence usually starts from the bottom and gradually spreads.

In the beginning, the big sects were relatively restrained. Only when a treasure worthy of a fight appeared would a war in the world of cultivation begin!
The top of Jinyao Peak.

It was extremely lively at the moment, with teams of disciples running around, all being urgently mobilized and assigned, following the deacons who had received the mission, and scattering down the mountain.

In the Blood Pond Hall.

The little fox girl sat alone by the pool, holding the soul-locking pot in a daze.

Luanchun inside was at the front, discussing things with the Jindan stage cultivators below, including Taoist Cangxuan, Zhenren Linli, Taoist Zhiyu, etc., but Master Xiongshan was the only one missing.

"Da da da da da"

Lin Shan and others walked in.

When Luanchun saw them coming back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had finally found her backbone. She was extremely exhausted during this period of time, and her nerves were so tense that she dared not relax for a moment.

"What's wrong? How did the discussion go?"

"Master, something big has happened!"

"Oh?"

At this time, Brother Ji was sharp-eyed and immediately discovered that a key person was missing.

"Where is Master Xiongshan? You didn't come to greet me personally when I came back?"

Everyone looked embarrassed:

"Uh, that's what I was just about to say. The man on Xiongshan has disappeared."

"What???"

Lin Shan was suddenly startled, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt as if his prediction had come true.

"Why did you disappear?"

"It is said that there was a battle between several Yuanying-stage monks that night, which affected our front-line military camp. Then Master Xiongshan, as the commander-in-chief, disappeared in the chaos and has not been heard from since."

Luanchun summarized the accounts of those who had witnessed the incident and escaped that day and came to this conclusion.

"It seems that he didn't escape on his own initiative, but was abducted by a Yuanying stage cultivator."

"you sure?"

"Many people saw in the dark that the Master of Xiongshan was captured by a masked man in white clothes. Afterwards, several Yuanying stage masters came here in person to find the witnesses in the military camp that night to learn more about the situation."

Has anyone in the Nascent Soul stage ever been to Jin Yao Peak?

Lin Shan and Lin Fan looked at each other and took a breath at the same time.

Fortunately, he just wanted to find out the situation from his subordinates and was not here to cause trouble.

Luanchun and other high-level officials did not dare to interfere and could only let them do as they pleased. After the powerful men learned about the situation, they had no time to stay here and hurried out to chase after them, not daring to waste even a moment.

During the time that Lin Shan was out, he just happened to miss these people perfectly.

"Whoo~~~"

They all breathed a sigh of relief, especially Brother Ji, whose heart was beating wildly with fear. Those big guys from the demon sect might be too lazy to come and cause trouble, but if they met them by chance, they might just roast them and have a snack!

But he suddenly looked at the little fox girl beside the blood pool with suspicion and asked:

"She's a foxy girl from the demon race, and there's no demon king who'd like to kidnap her?"

It is reasonable for people in the magic world to capture a human-faced fox demon in the Jindan stage and bring it back to the cave to be treated well and play some indescribable perverted games with it.

How is it possible to be unscathed?

"Ahem, this fox girl had a token on her body. She took it out and showed it to the demon lords. They all shook their heads and left."

Luanchun explained to them in a low voice that the Qinghe Demon King of the Human-faced Fox Clan was in the late Nascent Soul stage and was very famous in the Star-Swallowing Mountains. Even the Nascent Soul Demon Lords did not dare to provoke him after hearing about him.

"."

Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat. He turned around to meet the resentful gaze of the little fox girl, pretending not to see it and changing the subject.

"If Xiongshan is gone, it's gone. Don't worry about it anymore. Have you noticed the recent changes in the outside world of Jiuyao Peak and made relevant responses?"
