Immortal Road.

Chapter 711: Letter from the Immortal, Return of an Old Friend

Something would happen to Master Xiongshan sooner or later. Lin Shan had predicted this, so he deliberately sent him outside.

Fortunately, this Nascent Soul Stage battle did not affect Jiuyao Peak, otherwise the base camp would have been demolished.

It's better for this guy to leave, so that I don't have to keep this hot potato and be caught in a dilemma.

"We are currently screening and recruiting disciples, trying every possible way to expand the scale of Jiuyao Peak. After the incident on the front line, Master Xiongshan suddenly disappeared, causing the once suppressed Juling Sect and Butterfly Valley to start making moves again."

Luanchun pointed out that the core of the current problem is insufficient manpower.

Because the previous three-way battle between the Wild Bear Gang, the Wolf Immortal Castle, and the Nine Stars Alliance consumed too many of the surrounding manpower, and the Kun Sect also clashed with the two major forces in southeastern Chu in the past ten years, and did not have enough time to develop.

If it weren't for the endless support of the Warcraft army, it would have been pushed over long ago!
Now that they have recovered the vast territories of the six outer states and nineteen prefectures, they lack sufficient mountain gate elites to manage them.

In particular, many of the local local bosses, sects and families, the Demon Market and the like under his rule were pretending to obey the Kun Sect but secretly disobeying it. They were still entangled with the Giant Spirit Sect and the Butterfly Valley, and had a secret relationship with them.

This also requires them to spend a long time to digest, suppress, intimidate and subdue.

"We don't need to push those fence-sitters too hard. We just need to manage Jiuyao Peak well. The rest will be verified by time. We can gradually pull them into the Jiuyao Alliance and slowly make them the barrier depth of our territory."

Lin Shan was not too anxious about this.

It would be enough to just bring the six states into the sphere of influence. There was no need to occupy it by force. Firstly, they did not want to arouse public outrage and alienation. Secondly, they did not have any Nascent Soul cultivators at the moment, and the territory was too large to be controlled.

At present, being able to control Jiuyao Peak is the limit. Developing the Jiuyao Peak Alliance headed by Kun Sect is the same as the Lujiang Alliance in the Lujiang River Basin.

Next, he told everyone the ancient legend about the great changes in heaven and earth, the 'Wanhui Year', and told them to monitor the people more, look for newborns with outstanding talents, and bring them back to the mountain gate for training.

Great changes also bring opportunities and hope that will help them go one step further.

Everyone was very excited after hearing this, and they were all thinking about it, and they couldn't wait to send their disciples out to plunder.

"I have recently received news that there have been many changes in the terrain around us, and many spiritual veins have been created. Many forces are fighting for them, and there are chaos in various places."

Luanchun combined what Lin Shan said with the recent mess in the outside world and instantly understood the potential threats contained therein.

Lin Shan was very confident in her abilities and told her to go for it boldly.

"Oh, by the way, a few days ago a black light suddenly flew over and landed on Jin Yao Peak. I tried every method to get rid of it but couldn't. Come and see what this thing is."

"Oh?"

Luanchun took out a gray branch. Nothing could be seen of it. It seemed to be just an ordinary object.

"Bring it to me and see!"

Brother Ji didn't wait for Lin Shan to take it. He just stretched out his wings and snatched it away, fiddling with it excitedly.

But it still can’t be solved!

"What is it, let me see?"

Lin Fan also became interested and tried all kinds of unorthodox methods he created, but found that the branch was very hard and could not be broken at all. He tried burning it with fire, sharpening it with a knife, dripping blood to recognize the owner, and refining it with spiritual consciousness, but none of them worked!
Ke Jizi also took a magnifying glass and began to study it carefully, but he found nothing.

"Why, it feels like a fishing rod made of branches? Master, how about letting me take it back and study it carefully in ancient books?"

"No need to bother."

Lin Shan took it directly from Ke Jizi and inspected the enhanced panel on the spot.

【fishing rod】

Quality: Common

Introduction: It bears the mark of an immortal banished from this mortal world, and contains a channel for immortal messages, which requires the corresponding item to unlock.

Enhancement requirements: cannot be enhanced
"Master, Master?"

Lin Shan pondered for a moment and was awakened by the person next to him.

"Hmm? Well, wait a minute, I have an idea."

The banished immortal from the mortal world, could it be referring to the fisherman in a bamboo hat that he met in the center of the forbidden area on the cliff?
He sent me a message from afar, could it be that
Everyone around was staring at him eagerly. Lin Shan pretended to cough and waved away.

"Everyone, go away and do your own things."

This group of people also knew what to do and left the hall one after another.

Only Luanchun, Lin Fan and Ji Ge stayed. They were all family members and there was nothing to be shy about.

Lin Shan took out the "Qianjun Hengshan Magical Power to Subdue Demons" from the storage bracelet. This was something that the immortal had left for him, and gently placed it on the branch.

A moment!

A ball of white light emerged, like a blur on the water surface, like the reflection of a mirror in the water. Above it, a man in a bamboo hat was quietly holding a fishing rod, and fallen leaves were floating slowly along the water around him.

The people around were shocked and didn't know what had happened.

"senior?"

Lin Shan asked cautiously, wondering if the two sides could communicate with each other. It was difficult to guess the magical methods of such a big shot.

"That kid, the Wanhui Year is about to begin, why don't you go and get things done for me? How long are you going to wait?"

The man in the bamboo hat spoke softly and swung the rod at the other end of the water, as if he was talking to him.

Lin Shan then remembered that he seemed to have accepted a mission, which was to seal some demon after reaching the late Jindan stage!
But because I was busy with trivial matters, I never had time to take care of it.

As a result, the immortal now came to my door on his own initiative, and I immediately broke out in a cold sweat!

"Please forgive me, Senior. I was not thoughtful enough and almost delayed your important event. I will do it right now, right now!"

"Well, I'm doing this for your own good. After all, right now the world is undergoing a major change, and the seal may be loosened prematurely. The later you go, the greater the danger, so it's better to get this over with as soon as possible and not delay any longer."

"Yes, yes, I will listen to your teachings!"

"In order to avoid the supervision of the upper realm, I was forced to hide everywhere, and I can't take care of this matter for the time being. A while ago, I was discovered by the old ghost in the heaven and had a fight. I can't show my face in public, so you have to take care of yourself from now on."

"As you command! Hmm? The big hand from the upper realm a while ago was targeting you."

Lin Shan suddenly shut up, thinking of the shocking battle a while ago. He didn't expect that the protagonists were the big boss of the Heavenly Palace and the mortal immortal in front of him!

Lin Fan and Brother Ji were eavesdropping with their ears perked up, their scalps tingling with fear.

The little fox girl came over from the blood pool at some point and hid behind Luanchun, listening in confusion.

The man in the bamboo hat sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, with just a slight smile in his tone.

"You are now in the late stage of Shuangdan. Although it is a little slower than I expected, it is still not bad. It should not be a problem to find the demon with the talisman. If you really encounter unstoppable danger, this branch can save your life. Go quickly!"

"Devil???"

Lin Fan and Brother Ji turned to look at Lin Shan at the same time.

What devil?
Lin Shan had no time to deal with them. He just wanted to have a good chat with the boss across the water. He still had many questions about the development of his acquired spiritual body.

But the man in the bamboo hat had already cut off the connection, the picture disappeared, and the white light disappeared.

The branch fell back into his hand very lightly. Apparently, the immortal sensed Lin Shan's interaction with the talisman through his breath, and opened the channel for him.

It would be obviously impolite to disturb them now.

"Oh, that's all."

Lin Shan sighed, feeling a little annoyed that he had not seized the opportunity.

Lin Fan and Ji Ge next to him were just itching and kept asking him what was going on!

Unable to persuade them, he simply told them his mission, which was to go to a place called Zabagon to reinforce the seal.

"Did the boss say he would give you any benefits?"

"Benefits. I think he said that I can go find him when I need to overcome the tribulation of the soul in the future."

"What about the mission? Reinforce the seal? Is it that simple?"

"It's not that simple. I don't know. You guys stay at home. I'll pack up and get ready to leave. It's too late. Don't let that devil escape while the world is changing!"

Lin Shan felt a sense of urgency. He had previously thought of delaying it until his strength improved, but since the immortal had spoken, he naturally had to listen.

What's more, it seems that he has left himself a precaution.
He kept the branch, perhaps it might come in handy in the future.

But at this time, Lin Fan and Brother Ji actually moved in unison, grabbing his arms tightly together, their eyes shining, and exerting great strength!
"What are you doing?"

Lin Fan grinned: "Take me there!"

Brother Ji was very excited: "Count me in!"

Lin Shan was puzzled and shook them twice, but failed to get rid of these two funny guys.

"I'm going out to have fun, not to have a picnic, why are you two following me?"

The two men tried to please him humbly and even massaged his shoulders and legs.

"We'll go with you and help you out. When you go to meet the boss to report, can you please say a few good words for us?"

It turned out that from the indirect hints just now, they had heard that this immortal banished from the mortal world was able to compete with the immortals in heaven, and they all wanted to get close to him.

"No, I'm really not kidding this time. That big devil is very powerful. I need the immortal talisman to seal him. If you come with me, what if something goes wrong?"

Lin Shan spoke to them earnestly and seriously.

But who knew that these two had just heard it all!
"Didn't the Immortal say that we can go to the late Jindan stage? You are in the late Jindan stage, and so are we. Our cultivation is not worse than yours, so we are not holding you back, right?"

"But, as a soul cultivator, I have a strong spiritual sense, so I can barely go over and give it a try. Your spiritual sense is not enough, what if you are affected by the evil thoughts of the devil?"

This is what Lin Shan is mainly worried about.

But his words were obviously unpleasant to hear, so the two of them began to kidnap him out of loyalty.

Lin Fan: "Are you brothers?"

Brother Chicken: “Is it buddy?”

"."

After the debate was passed, Lin Fan used his thunder magic to prove that he had special control over evil thoughts, and Brother Ji used the Taibai Golden Flame to prove that he could also burn evil thoughts, and only then did he reluctantly gain Lin Shan's approval.

"Well, then don't be so reckless and just follow me and don't go too far."

"Save it, save it!"

The two of them nodded and bowed, trembling with excitement at the thought that they could also participate in the immortal mission.

The little fox girl is not going to do this anymore!
He immediately stepped forward, pushed them apart, and grabbed Lin Shan's sleeve.

"You said you would send me back to the Fox Tribe. When will you fulfill your promise?"

Lin Shan was stunned and apologized awkwardly, telling her that he had to make up his mind in an emergency. After all, the task of the man in the bamboo hat was definitely more important, so he had to put her matter aside for the time being.

"Wait for me. I will definitely send you back after I finish this matter. Okay?"

"no!"

The little fox girl no longer believed his lies. After this time, there would probably be a next time. This guy had so many things to do that she couldn't even count them all. She was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to get a place with him.

Holding the soul-locking pot in his arms and pulling out the stopper, the roar of the remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord came from inside again.

"You bastard, you said you would find a body for me to take over. How come it's been so long and you still haven't found a solution???"

The rumbling sound was deafening and echoed throughout the hall.

"I have been training monsters for you for ten years, and you didn't even ask about it. How can you bully an honest person like this?"

This really made Lin Shan feel ashamed.

To be honest, the remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord has worked diligently and served the Kun Sect like a slave for ten years. He has never been lazy or played any tricks. With his own efforts, he has relieved most of the pressure on the front battlefield and filled the gap caused by the shortage of manpower.

It must be said that although the prince is arrogant, he keeps his words and does things decisively!

Lin Shan couldn't delay any longer.

He also knew that this was too much and might arouse people's dissatisfaction, so he had to ask tentatively:

"How about you follow me first, and I'll look for it for you on the way?"

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord hummed and grudgingly agreed to his plan, signaling him to hurry up and stop wasting time.

"And here I am, don't think of leaving me behind!"

When the little fox girl saw that the Soul-Locking Pot was in Lin Shan’s hands again, she hurried forward and snatched it back into her arms.

"No, you are safe staying in Kun Sect. I will send you off when I come back. If you really can't wait, I can ask Taoist Cang Xuan or Master Lin Li to send you off."

Lin Shan didn't want to bring this burden along, so he told her to be more careful and not to cause trouble.

But the little fox girl refused to do so. She didn't trust others and insisted that he send her off personally. Otherwise, he should take her with him first. Otherwise, she was afraid that Lin Shan would disappear again after running away this time. How could she find him after not seeing him for several years?
In desperation, Lin Shan had to put the little fox girl into the Xing Mansion to prevent the little ancestor from making a big fuss.

Turning his head to look at Luanchun:
"We are going out for a while. If everything goes well, we should be able to come back soon. If we are delayed on the way, it is hard to say what will happen."

"Well, it's okay, you can go without worry, I'm here with Kunjiao."

Luanchun was considerate and patted his shoulder gently.

In a trance, so many years have passed. The girl who used to tease me in Yichuan Market, who was willful, capricious and eccentric, has lost her innocence and become sensible and reasonable after the baptism of time. What kind of process did she go through?
Lin Shan nodded silently. Many times, he was busy outside and ignored the fact that there were people carrying the burden behind him.

"Oh, by the way, my master sent me a letter from Green Spirit Mountain a while ago, saying that Senior Huang had just returned recently. If you are on your way, would you like to go and see him?"

Lin Shan suddenly shuddered!
"Who, who are you talking about? Senior Huang?"
