Immortal Road.

Chapter 750: Asking for a general's appointment, Hei Xun appears

"But there's no harm in talking."

The Kuihu Demon King sat upright, because Lin Shan had helped him drive away the Yuanlu Demon King before, so he naturally had familiarity and trust in him, which was the most rare thing.

"If there is anything you need help with, as long as I have the energy to spare, I will arrange it for you! But what medicinal herbs do you need to break through the Nascent Soul stage? If there are any in my treasure house, feel free to take them!"

"!!!"

Lin Shan was pleasantly surprised. How could this Kuihu Demon King be so nice to me?
It’s different when you have a thigh!

However, he had an idea in his mind and knew that this was because the army of the Yuanlu Demon King was approaching and he happened to arrive there again.

Once you get something, you have to do it!
Reciprocity and exchange of favors are rules that must be followed no matter where you are.

"Thank you, my king. I do want to use this treasure land to break through the Nascent Soul stage. It would be best if I could get a high-quality spiritual vein to help me."

High-quality spiritual vein.

This is what he has always been looking forward to.

Before breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, without the ability to control the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, one must inevitably need a massive amount of spiritual energy to assist in cultivation and breakthroughs. The richer the spiritual energy, the greater the probability of success.

We should try our best to grasp every tiny factor that can increase our success rate and widen the gap between us and others.

Generally, the spiritual veins in the world of cultivation are controlled by the sects and families, especially the high-quality spiritual veins, which are resources only possessed by the top sects!

His Lujiang League and Xun Gu Sect are only mid-grade spiritual veins.

Jiuyao Peak used to be of high quality, but during the destruction of the Jiuyou Sect of the Chu State, many forces in the cultivation world joined forces to lower its rank.

Therefore, if he wanted to find a place with dense spiritual energy, he could only look for the demon tribe.

The throne of the Kuihu Demon King is vast, with many soldiers and generals, and the forbidden area on the cliff is the top of this world.

Speaking of high-quality spiritual veins, there definitely are!

And there is another factor that is the most uncontrollable when breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage:
"Human interference".

He was looking for a breakthrough in the ancient religion. The Lujiang League had too many people and was under great scrutiny from the outside world. Merchants and Shangyang Academy would often cause trouble.

If there is a breakthrough in Kun Sect, the Demonic Sect will be even more worried, unless they ask Huang Xianshi to take charge. However, it remains to be seen whether his old arms and legs can stop the Wu Dao Sect.

As for the Demon King Kuihu, it is easier to deal with him. His lair is so powerful that he is the only one in power. The forbidden area on the cliff is isolated from the world, and there is also the dangerous Aurora Sea.

He can focus on preparing for the breakthrough without having to worry about the outside world.

However, the sudden appearance of the Yuanlu Demon King disrupted his plans, and the Kuihu Demon King was invaded by foreign enemies and was unable to take care of himself.

If he just sits back and does nothing and even hides in someone else's territory to practice, that would be a bit unreasonable.

"Of course I have high-quality spiritual veins here. Don't worry, just take the token I gave you and go directly!"

The Kuihu Demon King is at a point on the map behind you.

It is its long-standing base, the old demon king's cave.

In the past sixty years, a new Demon King Cave was built in order to suppress and maintain stability around Hongya Cave and prevent the infiltration of the Yuanlu Demon King.

However, the Demon King’s treasury, the royal court, the direct lineage, etc. are still in the old Demon King’s cave.

Lin Shan hurried to the front to express his gratitude.

He was also very sensible, and immediately returned the favor, volunteering:
"It takes a long time to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, so there is no rush for now. Right now, the war on your side is the most important thing. Since I have come to the front line, I am willing to do my best to assist the king in driving away the foreign enemies!"

"Ouch~~"

The demon generals in the tent were delighted. They beat drums and gongs and howled like ghosts and wolves to welcome him.

The Kuihu Demon King nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, I was right about you!"

"From now on, you will be reinstated as the military advisor of the king's tent. You will be in charge of the twenty-eight frontline troops and command them from the center. You will have the power to execute first and report later!"

"After I drive away the little Yuanlu kid, I will personally help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

The Demon King Kuihu will personally protect you and give you a hand if any accidents occur during your Nascent Soul breakthrough. This is equivalent to an elder in the late Nascent Soul stage taking care of you throughout the whole process.

This is a treatment that no talented disciple from any top sect has ever received!
Even if Lin Fan came, he would drool!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Shan was excited now. Now he had a high-quality spiritual vein and had agreed to be the guardian. He had to work hard and find a way to resolve the current situation.

For a time, the emperor and his subjects lived in harmony and joy.

When the demon generals saw that he was in power again, they hurried up to him and tried to get close to him.

I'm afraid of making him unhappy, so one day I'll be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder and die without knowing how.

"Boom boom boom!"

There were drum sounds outside, and the drums outside the village were beating to convey a message, as if welcoming someone's arrival.

"Wow~"

The tent curtain was opened and a foot stepped into the tent.

Lin Shan's eyes fixed and he was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that there would be someone who would surrender to the Demon King Kuihu?

"Your Majesty, I am late. I just suppressed the rebellion in Xigu, and the thirteen tribes of Miaoxi have been slaughtered!"

The man was covered in blood, with a spear on his back, standing tall, and covered in black armor.

After finishing the report, I glanced over and saw two red lights suddenly lit up!

"Good boy, how dare you appear in front of me?"

Lin Shan's hair stood on end!

Black Ten?

How could this guy appear in the territory of the Kuihu Demon King?
However, before he could react, the pressure around him was instantly relieved, and the Demon King Kuihu directly dispersed his aura and extinguished Heixun's targeted aura.

"Why, Fellow Daoist Heixun knows Military Advisor Lin?"

"Military Advisor Lin?"

Hei Xun looked at the stage and the audience in disbelief. Lin Shan, the boy, was sitting in the first seat on the left, looking down at him from above. He was confused for a moment.

He is just a junior in the Jindan stage, but he has become the guest of honor of the Kuihu Demon King?

I am a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. I came here on my own initiative to seek refuge. I worked so hard to complete the missions and was treated like an ox or a horse.

Is this fair?

He felt very absurd and even more resentful.

"Your Majesty, I had a grudge with this kid before. If he hadn't run so fast, I would have definitely caught him! And it was because of him that I was forced to fail the mission and go into exile."

"stop!"

The Kuihu Demon King raised his tiger paw and called a stop decisively.

"Fellow Daoist Heixun, whatever grudges you had in the past are now in the past. Now that you are both loyal subjects under my command, why don't you put them aside for now and discuss them after the war is over? Is that okay?"

"I"

Heixun held his breath back, feeling very confused.

Comparing the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage, which one is more important? Anyone should be able to decide, right?
According to normal thinking, shouldn't he, upon hearing that I have a grudge against him, immediately hand the boy over to me to decide for myself in order to win people's hearts?

Why are you covering it up?

Since Hei Xun became a Yuanying stage cultivator, he has been standing at a high level, and his way of thinking is no longer on the same level as those below, so he has this idea. He looks at the value of everything.

But from the perspective of a hegemon like the Kuihu Demon King, there is actually no difference between him and Lin Shan. There is no need to send away his meritorious contributor just for the sake of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Besides, in terms of the degree of trust, in its eyes, Lin Shan is far more reliable than this Inhuman who just took the initiative to surrender.

"Why, with such a powerful enemy at hand, do you have any objection?"

The Kuihu Demon King looked at Heixun, who had just arrived a few days ago, with a calm gaze like a deep pool, just staring at him.

Heixun's heart trembled!
Only then did he realize that he had only been with the Demon King Kuihu for such a short time, but he was already meddling in his affairs and getting into conflicts with some of his military advisors. No superior would tolerate this and would definitely want to dampen his fighting spirit!
Otherwise, if he is so rampant now, won’t he be even more outrageous in the future?

That’s right, just be patient for now and settle the score with that guy later!
Immediately bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is wise. I have no objection."

"Well, take a seat."

The Kuihu Demon King nodded and pointed to the first person on the right.

Heixun was clearly a member of the Mist Horse Clan, but at this moment he was walking on his own two legs, and no one knew where the Mist Horse under his crotch had gone.

After sitting down, he looked at Lin Shan face to face, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Lin Shan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, without saying anything or provoking him, he just nodded as a greeting.

He also didn't expect that after Heixun failed to catch up with him, he decisively betrayed the Inhumans and ran to the forbidden area on the cliff to join the demon king Kuihu!

There is nothing wrong with thinking about it. After all, he failed in the mission to capture the Star Spirit Jin and also ran away with the precious Star Core. It would be strange if the Inhumans let him go.

Even if the Wuma tribe doesn't tell anyone, they will definitely try their best to capture him, and the Star Palace Elders' Council will definitely not let him go!
If you dare to hang around outside, you will definitely get into trouble, so you have to hide in the forbidden area.

This place is isolated from the world, which is perfect for him to hide.

However, it happened that the two overlords were competing for supremacy here, which aroused his keen sense of smell. This was a godsend opportunity for him to take advantage of this to gain the trust of a certain overlord!
So after a brief understanding, he chose the old overlord Kuihu Demon King, who was deeply rooted and had the upper hand in the southern part of the forbidden area.

The Demon King Kuihu adhered to the principle of not letting go of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator who came to his doorstep, and for the sake of precaution and observation, he sent him to the rear to suppress the rebellion.

"You have worked hard, Brother Heixun. I will never forget your contribution. Come, I will toast you!"

"No, no, this is what I should do."

Heixun quickly picked up the jar and started drinking. In order to show his loyalty, he asked if there was any other task he needed to do.

The demon king Kuihu was not sent out further, but instead specified that he would stay at the front line tomorrow and take orders in front of the tent just like Lin Shan.

"Follow the order!"

"Oh, by the way, Military Advisor Lin, the chicken on your shoulder."

The Kuihu Demon King watched curiously as Brother Ji lay on Lin Shan's shoulder, holding a small wine bottle in his mouth. He tilted his head back and drank sip by sip, spilling the wine as he drank.

L.

The broken bowl was placed in front of him, filled with new grain sent from the Larch Mountains.

"Your Majesty, this is my good brother, the young master of the Peacock Demon Clan in the Luosong Mountains in the south. We have been traveling together for decades."

Brother Ji put down the bottle, spread his wings and folded them in front of his chest, and bowed in a very formal manner.

"Chicken Wuque, Happy New Year to Senior Tiger King!"

There was a flash of platinum in the eyes of the Kuihu Demon King, and he stared straight at Brother Ji, as if he was observing something.

Brother Ji seemed to be provoked into confrontation, with white light coming out of his eyes, and he looked into its eyes!

For a moment, the big tent was blindingly bright, and all the demon generals and cave masters covered their eyes, unable to look straight ahead.

Only Lin Shan and Hei Xun were not affected.

After a moment, the Kuihu Demon King withdrew his gaze.

Brother Ji closed his eyes tightly, leaving two lines of blood and tears!
Lin Shan was shocked: "Your eyesight just recovered a while ago, and now you've overused them again, what's wrong?"

The demon king Kuihu threw a bottle at him and told him that it was okay.

"This is a bottle of Yangyuan Eye Solution, which can help it heal quickly and restore its eyes to their original state. Apply it on it."

Lin Shan took it and the enhanced panel showed that it was indeed the fifth-level spiritual liquid!
The Kuihu Demon King is wealthy and has no shortage of materials.

After applying the drops to Brother Ji, he opened his eyes quickly as expected. There was no bloodshot and his eyes were clear and bright. The effect was really amazing.

"How does it feel?"

The Kuihu Demon King asked with a pleasant expression.

"Oh, it's okay."

Brother Ji was a little scared and replied weakly.

“I haven’t asked your master yet, but is it the Peacock King Kong Qing of the demon clan?”

"Yes, you know the patriarch?"

“There was an intersection.”

The Kuihu Demon King's face and tone showed admiration. He said that when he participated in the Southern Demon King Conference, he had the honor of talking with the Peacock King and was very impressed by his magical powers.

So when I meet this descendant today, I vaguely see the shadow of my old friend in him, so I can’t help but take better care of him.

"This is my token. If you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me."

He immediately and generously gave away the 'Demon King Order'!
It’s exactly the same as the one I gave to Lin Shan back then!
Hei Xun who was standing next to them was stunned, and jealousy rose in his heart. Why should a chicken be treated differently, but I can't get such good treatment?
The Demon King's Token is a symbol of a Demon King's identity.

Every recipient of the Demon King's Order must be carefully selected by the Demon King, and the Demon King will only give one to those juniors who he thinks are worthy of his investment.

It is impossible to become a cabbage, otherwise it will lose credibility.

Brother Ji was pleasantly surprised, and quickly thanked the Demon King Kuihu, playing with the Demon King's figure and couldn't let it go.

Heixun endured all this silently, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

Day two.

The armies of both sides gathered and once again sounded the clarion call for a war.

The Yuanlu Demon King was majestic and awe-inspiring. He held his sword and looked around, waving at the Tianwen Terrace in the sky.

The Kuihu demon king looked down from above, and seeing his old rival coming out again, he could not help but say to Lin Shan and Hei Xun beside him:
"This guy has been unusual recently, completely different from before, especially his military formations, which are unpredictable and free from the Five Constant Virtues. It's like he has divine help!"

"Oh? That's how it is."

Both of them expressed their surprise and wanted to take a closer look at the capabilities of the Yuanlu Demon King.

The first one to come out was an old bull with strong limbs. It had a cold and aggressive look in its eyes. It stood upright and looked thick and strong.

"This is Qingniu, the right-hand man of the Yuanlu Monster King who guarded the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area back then?"

Lin Shan recognized it at the first sight and was greatly surprised. He did not expect that this monster could transform from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in a short period of time just like General Xiong.

Heixun volunteered:

"My lord, let me meet it!"

The Kuihu Demon King smiled and nodded, telling him to act with caution and to retreat at any time if things became impossible.

"Don't worry, it's just a bull demon."

Having said that, he looked at Lin Shan provocatively and flew down the platform without looking back.
