Immortal Road.

Chapter 795: The All-Pointed-Attack, Master Shenxiu
A big drama has come to an end.

The host and guest enjoyed themselves happily.

Next, the ceremony to welcome the return of the leader will be continued, and then it will be time to have a banquet and talk about business.

Before this, Lin Shan asked the Black Skull Demon Lord two questions.

The first is about the failure of Lingbao Xuxing Plate;
The second is about its silent advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.

"The spiritual treasure is ineffective, what on earth did you do?"

This incident really scared him, he was almost tricked by this skeleton! But fortunately, he had been holding back from moving Gu Yun, and had not strengthened the "Wind and Thunder Art" or Feng Bo Pavilion, just in case!

He really got the result right.

The Black Skull Demon Lord secretly transmitted the message:

"It's nothing, actually. I guess the reason why the Void Star Disk can break the formation is because it is connected to the stars in the sky, so it relies on the starlight to penetrate the interior for calculation."

"I built several large formations to completely block out the galaxies in the sky. The Void Star Disk became blind. Without the help of the power of the stars, its effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced."

"Brother, I am just reminding you to be careful of others using this trick against you in the future. Every failure is a lesson for you."

Lin Shan understood instantly that the reason why the Virtual Star Disk was always successful was because it relied on the numerous stars in the sky, which were like satellites monitoring the sky, looking down at the earth to help it locate the terrain of mountains and rivers, as well as to calculate the loopholes in the formation.

If we lose the satellite, we will be like a blind person and will become ineffective immediately!
The Black Skull Demon Lord is a master of weapon refining, so he has some understanding of the principles involved and can therefore make targeted cracks.

Lin Shan took note of it secretly, realizing that even spiritual treasures were not omnipotent and also had their flaws.

"Then what happened to your Nascent Soul?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord answered honestly. It turned out that in order to break through the Nascent Soul stage before Lin Shan, it specially contacted the main body of the Hell World and asked them to spend a huge price to find a ray of Demonic Energy, and then send it here.

"Cross-border delivery, do you have this ability???"

Lin Shan widened his eyes, looking unconvinced.

If it were so easy to resell between the two worlds, he would have made a fortune long ago!

"Ahem, no, because the target is small, only a wisp, and both sides consume a lot of resources."

When the Black Skull Demon Lord spoke of this, he was obviously feeling guilty.

At this moment, Lu Xiuming had sorted out the accounts of Xun Gu Sect over the years and brought them to Lin Shan's desk for him to read. Only then did he discover a big, eye-catching word "debt" on it!

Lin Shan turned over, wow!
After being away for sixty years, the sect, which was once rich, not only failed to accumulate huge wealth, but instead owed a huge foreign debt!
"How did you do it?"

He looked at Lu Xiuming in disbelief.

The latter gave a helpless smile and looked at the Black Skull Demon Lord, and reported truthfully:
"70% of all expenses were taken away by Elder Hei Ku, and no one knows what he did with them. The remaining 30% was spent on the war on the northern front."

The North and the Shang Dynasty and Shangyang Academy have been at war for years. It is understandable that war does cost a lot of money.

The Black Skull Demon Lord, out of his own selfish desires, had even gone into debt to find the Ancient Sect. Lin Shan was dumbfounded when he heard this!
Seeing the skeleton's embarrassed look, he probably had an idea about cross-border transmission of objects, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

On the contrary, the war in the north lasted so long that it was able to train countless elite talents for the Xun Gu Sect for two generations, so the money was well spent.

But now that I'm back and have had enough of the fight, it's time to close the net.

Lu Xiuming roughly told him about the development of Lujiang League in western Shandong in recent years. It has basically become a regional hegemon and is deeply tied to Yunchuan Academy, with one responsible for education and training and the other responsible for job placement after graduation. It has attracted many talents from other parts of Lu.

There have also been many changes within the alliance.

The most important thing is that with the active development of the allies, the original elders, including the four major families of Wangyue City, the four sects of Lunan, etc., have gradually failed to keep up and have been gradually replaced by other sects. This is also a part of the replacement of the old with the new and the change of power.

This is generally the law of normal development of major forces, and there is a lot of experience from the past that can be learned.

Lin Shan just listened and had no intention of intervening.

Then talking about the war on the northern front, it was full of twists and turns!
In Chixiao City, there was originally cooperation between Patriarch Lu Que and Master Zhan Kong, who were able to attack or defend, and firmly took the initiative.

The Shang family was unable to win, so they had to invite the Shang family ancestor who had been in seclusion for a hundred years to come out and stabilize the situation again.

But then, Mu Yan, the long-missing genius of the Xun Gu Sect, returned in an accidental battle and burned most of the Shang people to death in one fire!

It is said that there were countless casualties at the scene and the devil's fire burned for three months without being extinguished.

Now the opponent's defense is broken!
They accused Mu Yan of using the "Demon Fire", a purely demonic method that killed innocent people indiscriminately and committed a heinous crime.

This is because all karmic fires are definitely the result of too much killing, which has led to the accumulation of one's own karma and thus condensed into flames.

It is a product of cause and effect, so it is most likely his own and it is unlikely to be inherited from someone else.

And since it is related to cause and effect, the fire is naturally extremely powerful!

The Shang people were afraid and called on the entire Lu cultivation community to denounce and criticize!

Under strong pressure from public opinion, in order not to implicate the Xun Gu Sect, Mu Yan secretly escaped into the enemy's territory in northwest Shandong and began to launch sneak attacks.

The Shang family and Shangyang Academy sent people to encircle and suppress the sect, while using it to discredit the Xun Gu Sect.

This trick was indeed effective and really caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and even attracted the attention of the top forces in the central region of Lu State.

It is said that in recent years, due to the gradual return of the Yuanying ancestors, the major forces have gradually opened their mountain gates and reappeared in the world.

The first thing that was called in was the Bailu Academy’s intervention!

The other party sent an envoy directly to the Lujiang League to hold them accountable. It was obvious that they looked down on the Xun Gu Sect and did not even go to Tianfu Mountain on purpose.

The deputy leader of the Yang family, the patriarch, received the envoy. Facing the questioning, he was also confused. He knew that since Lin Shan was not around, the Ancient Sect could not come up with any solution, so he quickly invited people from the Yunchuan Academy to mediate.

As a result, the envoy refused to accept the proposal and called the Shangyang Academy and the Shang people, as well as the Bailu Academy, Yunchuan Academy, and Lujiang League, to hold a five-party meeting. However, the main person, Xun Gu Sect, was not included!

In the end, under the pressure of three to two, they forced the Xun Gu Sect to hand over the murderer and cede land and pay compensation!
When the news reached Tianfu Mountain, it didn't even make a splash.

The Black Skull Demon Lord didn't even bother to give them a second thought and just threw them away like waste paper.

At that time, Skeleton was busy breaking through the Nascent Soul stage and thinking about how to deal with Lin Shan after his return. How could he have time to care about all those trivial things?

After the ruling was made, the Xun Gu sect turned a blind eye and continued to do as it pleased.

It directly pissed off the envoy from Bailu Academy!
Go back and file a complaint directly, and at the same time involve the Lujiang League as well. After all, the leader of the Xun Gu Sect is the leader of the Lujiang League?
The people of Shangyang and Shangyang Academy were overjoyed and sat back to watch the show. Bailu Academy had just ended the mountain closure and was in the process of reorganizing the order of the cultivation world, but they ran into such a rebellious person. Of course, they couldn't just let it go.

After waiting for several months, after internal discussions and allocations, a group was sent to western Shandong.

He did not go to Lujiang League or Xungu Sect, but went directly to the front-line Chixiao City and began to enforce the law.

But who would have thought that Ancestor Lu Que, who was in charge of the front line, didn't buy it at all!

I don’t know what they talked about, but they actually started fighting on the spot and a conflict broke out!

The people from Bailu Academy had no experience fighting against soul cultivators, and were severely injured by Elder Lu Que on the spot, forcing them to flee in embarrassment.

The merchants are even happier now!
The Xun Gu Sect is courting its own destruction. They even defied and attacked the Bai Lu Academy. How audacious!
Things turned out just as they expected. After further fermentation, the Bailu Academy was in an uproar. From professors to students, everyone believed that the Lujiang League, this new upstart, was too rampant and must be severely dealt with to put an end to its arrogance.

At the same time, this incident also shocked the State of Lu and caused widespread spread in the world of cultivation.

Now Lu Xiuming of Xun Gu Sect panicked. He discussed with Deputy Leader Yang of Lujiang League for a long time and even prepared for a do-or-die battle to preserve the last retreat of the elite spark.

But something bigger happened during this time.

Jingyang Academy was attacked by unknown persons, who were three demonic cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Just when the academy was in danger, Shui Bingyue appeared out of nowhere!

He came out all at once, drove them all away, and intimidated the surrounding countries.

Next, when Bailu Academy was preparing to impose sanctions on the Xun Gu Sect, he stepped forward to stop them, saying that the confrontation between other domain forces was normal and they should remain neutral and fair.

Finally, the ancestor of Bailu Academy was forced to compromise out of fear and temporarily let the Lujiang League go, but left a hook.

If a top-level force loses face, it must find a way to redeem itself and give an explanation.

That is, to allow the people from Bailu Academy to go to the northwest of Shandong to find the culprit "Mu Yan" and bring this young man who practices the evil fire of karma to justice!
The results were surprising.

This kid Mu Yan wandered around the vast area of ​​northwest Shandong. Not only did he make the Bailu Academy, Shangyang Academy, and the Shang people run around in circles, he even became stronger and stronger, and killed quite a few people.

In an instant, he became the number one wanted person on Lu State's wanted list!
Many people in the world of cultivation would hear rumors about him every once in a while, either that he had killed a certain celebrity or that he had shot a certain master to death.

Until recently, a professor in the late Jindan stage of Bailu Academy died in a group of volcanoes in northwest Shandong, which finally caused a public opinion frenzy!

In the late Jindan period, he also holds the title of professor. He can be said to be a top figure in the Confucian academic field in the State of Lu. His students are everywhere in the Central Region. Except for the great Confucian scholars, who would not show respect to him?

There was a shock inside Bailu Academy, and they held a meeting to discuss why there had been no results after so many years of efforts, and why they were repeatedly slapped in the face.

In the end, everyone was amazed at the boy's growth rate, and they all agreed that they could not allow him to continue to develop. However, this alone was far from enough to invite the Nascent Soul stage ancestor to go in person.

What generation is the ancestor? How shameless is he to bully the weak to this extent?

Just at this time, the genius of Bailu Academy, Zhong Shenxiu, came out of seclusion!

Once out of seclusion, the young boy will become Nascent Soul!

The flash blinded everyone on the spot, and everyone was horrified.

Originally, Shui Bingyue of Jingyang Academy was the first to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and had surpassed Bailu Academy. Now, the appearance of Zhong Shenxiu, a young Nascent Soul, has immediately regained the limelight.

Unlike Sailor Moon's low-key attitude, Bailu Academy made a high-profile announcement this time that all forces from the Lu State that could reach the top in the cultivation world were invited to attend the ceremony.

The Yuanying Ceremony is so grand that it can be said to be the most grand in the past few hundred years!

After witnessing this with their own eyes, many people were shocked and depressed, and went back unhappy. It is a tragedy for everyone to live with such a genius.

Bailu Academy even regarded him as the hope for the rise of Confucianism in the Wanhui period!
Later, regarding the matter of Mu Yan, after being commissioned by many older generations of the academy, it was decided to ask Zhong Shenxiu to take action on their behalf and capture this beast!
Zhong Shenxiu was at the height of his fame, and in order to solidify his position as the leader of the Confucian school, he readily accepted the task, declaring that he would eradicate all evil and clear up the world.

"It is said that Master Shenxiu has been preparing to leave for northwest Shandong after visiting the friendly forces of Bailu Academy one by one a few days ago."

Shenxiu Zhenjun is Zhong Shenxiu's new title now.

Lu Xiuming lowered his head respectfully, obviously concerned about Mu Yan's safety. He emphasized reporting the matter to Lin Shan first and asking him to make the decision.

"Mu Yan."

Lin Shan tapped the table with his fingers, lost in thought.

Many high-ranking members of the Xun Gu Sect nearby were looking forward to it. From their own perspective, they all had deep feelings for Mu Yan and believed that this young man was not a bad person by nature.

Even if we are criticized by thousands of people, we are still family, so of course we have to turn our elbows inward!

Especially the merchants spread the rumor that Mu Yan killed innocent people indiscriminately, and none of the elders of Xun Gu Sect believed it, and they were even more unhappy about Bailu Academy's interference.

Now that the leader is back and Elder Hei Ku has also reached Nascent Soul stage, their ambitions are growing wildly, and they are all eager to fight as soon as possible, to establish achievements, expand the territory, and become loyal followers of the dragon!

"Master, why don't you let me handle this matter? It's a good opportunity to make amends for my crime!"

"Not only will I bring Mu Yan back to you, but I will also take away all the Shangyang Academy and other businesses!"

"Anyone who dares to oppose my Xun Gu Sect will be suppressed and killed!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord approached cautiously and volunteered to share his worries. The main thing was to quickly accomplish some achievements, otherwise he would not be ashamed to ask for soul sources.

Lin Shan just shook his head and replied indifferently.

"You are no match for Zhong Shenxiu."

"I"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was frightened on the spot!

This demon lord has been dominating hell for so many years, but I can't even afford to offend a Nascent Soul boy who just broke through. Are you kidding me?
Lin Shan was not joking, he knew that times were different now.

In the past, when his realm was low, the Black Skull Demon Lord followed him, and with his advantage of a high vantage point, he was able to always attack his opponents from a lower dimension.

But now that it has reached the Nascent Soul stage, what it has learned is already on par with its opponents and it no longer has an overwhelming advantage.

In other words, now we can treat it as a normal and normal Nascent Soul stage, without any filters or halos, otherwise it is very likely to cause a big mistake!
By that time, if Mu Yan cannot be rescued and the Black Skull Demon Lord's background is exposed in the fight, the losses of the Xun Gu Sect will be even greater.

You have to know that the opponent is Zhong Shenxiu, the immortal genius of Confucianism.

"Third brother, it seems that this time, I have no choice but to meet you in person!"
