Immortal Road.

"Um?"

Just as this person realized something was wrong, a huge danger approached!
He hurriedly raised his hand and turned around, just about to resist.

However, Lin Shan had planned unintentionally. He also used his soul magic and soul treasure. The Devouring Soul Prison suddenly covered him and blocked all his movements!
A soul-sucking rope climbed up from a tricky angle and tied him up to death.

Pull hard!
A transparent soul was pulled out!

The man's face was filled with horror, and he had no time to react. He stared at the body that was separated from him in panic, wanting to catch it but unable to do so.

Then he was sucked into the Soul-Locking Pot.

His physical body and Nascent Soul were also thrown into the Star Palace.

The whole process took only a moment and there was almost no sound from the outside world. It was quick and easy!

In the Xing Mansion, Lin Shan had already begun the interrogation.

"Tell me, which holy land sent you as a spy?"

"!!!"

The man was still in shock and was already in a trance. He was even more frightened to death when he heard the interrogation.

"Senior! I am the direct descendant of the Taixuan Holy Land. Please spare my life for the sake of Saint Wenxuan!"

He had a preconceived idea that the person who could arrest him without any resistance must be a top-notch powerful person, so he hurriedly revealed his name and brought out the backers to plead for mercy.

There was a person standing in front of him with his face covered by a yellow cloud, and he was a little surprised to hear that.

"Taixuan Holy Land? Holy Lord Wenxuan?"

"Why, do you know him, Senior?"

The man was overjoyed, thinking he was saved, and raised his head with an expectant look on his face.

Lin Shan did not comment.

Before the last wave of spiritual tide, the Taixuan Holy Land had sent people to the State of Lu, and came to the Kong family to cheat. After being discovered by the ancestor of the Kong family, they left in disgrace.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not give up, but secretly came again in the second wave of spiritual tide and supported several Yuanying stage cultivators to cause trouble.

Since I happened to discover him, of course I have to interrogate him thoroughly.

"What is the purpose of Taixuan Holy Land sending you here?"

"Uh"

From the tone of his voice, it seemed that they were not on good terms. This person felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his heart sank.

But he still answered tremblingly.

"The Holy Land has set up plans all over this world. They sent me to Lu just to occupy a position in advance, so that if a spiritual tide appears here or in the surrounding area in the future, I can get the moon first."

"anything else?"

"that's it."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

The man answered honestly that it was just like that. Even if there were any secrets, it was not something a junior like him could know. He was just following orders anyway.

Lin Shan instinctively felt that it was not that simple. He had heard the other party tell True Lord Xingyun that the master was secretly dividing the State of Lu with another holy land. What was going on?

The young monk said that he was not clear about the specific details of the negotiations. He only knew that according to the original division, Lu State was half of one side. When he first arrived, he had a brief meeting with the other party's envoy to discuss the territory issue.

He occupied four regions of northern Shandong, northeastern Shandong, eastern Shandong, and southeastern Shandong, and the remaining four regions belonged to the other side, and no one was allowed to interfere.

As for infiltration into the Central Region, it all depends on one's own ability.

"Do you know which holy land the other party came from?"

"Ghost Valley."

The young man mentioned a term, but Lin Shan had never heard of it before. He just wrote it down secretly and then asked again.

"Then how did you get in touch?"

"My master gave me a magic card, and the other party's messenger also has a similar one. We can use this to communicate in both directions, but we usually don't communicate unless there is something wrong."

The man took out a pear-shaped iron plate and Lin Shan took it in his hand.

【Communication Card】

Quality: Fourth-level magic weapon

Introduction: Designated communication magic weapon, a pair of mother and child mandarin ducks, with a limited distance of 30,000 miles.

Enhancement required: 64 points

He input his true energy to activate it, and the yellow light on the magic card suddenly lit up. Within a breath, a hoarse male voice came from it:

"What's the matter with me?"

"."

Lin Shan said nothing and looked down at the young monk.

This person's eyes were wandering and he was sweating profusely. He didn't understand what this was about and didn't dare to be clever. He just gritted his teeth and communicated with the other party.

"No, nothing. I just wanted to ask how the progress is going on your side."

"."

The other party was silent for a while, and then answered seriously.

"We only took over the southern and southwestern regions of Shandong. Western and northwestern Shandong are a little tricky and require a long-term plan. What about you?"

"Well, I have already conquered three regions. Only Ludongnan is still under attack."

"You are very lucky. Unlike me, I met a tough guy."

When the other party heard this, he was actually a little emotional, but he didn't say much. Instead, he simply chatted about his recent situation and then hung up the phone.

He was obviously very cautious and did not reveal his identity and location. He just had a brief communication with Taixuan Holy Land.

As to whether there is any doubt, it is unknown.

Through this brief conversation, Lin Shan instantly extracted some useful information!

The other party claims that they have already taken control of the two regions of southern Shandong and southwestern Shandong?
Isn’t this the sphere of influence of the emerging force Langhuan Yufu?
Is it
Is Langhuan Yufu the pawn supported by Guigu Holy Land?
"Senior."

The young monk called him softly, looking anxious.

"Can you let me go?"

"Do you think I look like a horse herder?"

Lin Shan sneered. Since this person was a tentacle extending into Lu from the outside, he must of course cut it off!
But before that, we should try to get as much useful information as possible.

Next, Lin Shan continued the interrogation, mainly to learn more inside stories of Taixuan Holy Land and Guigu Holy Land, which correspondingly exposed the fact that he was not a top-notch powerful person.

This person was obviously not stupid. He answered some questions at first, but later, after roughly guessing that he could not survive, he simply gave up struggling and gradually became desperate and kept silent.

Lin Shan had no choice but to start soul searching!
However, soul searching can only detect some scattered memory fragments, which are less than one-tenth of the total, and most of them are about the daily life of cultivation.

This involves the sect's secrets, because once the soul oath is touched, it will be automatically destroyed. This is obviously a measure reserved by the master behind it.

Even so, he only saw the tip of the iceberg!
The Taixuan Holy Land was founded by the great master Taixuan in the Yuanshen period at the end of the last Wanhui period. It integrated the eighteen top sects in the eastern part of the continent, divided them into eighteen lineages, and has been passed down to this day.

The Holy Land has its own circulation mechanism, and each vein governs itself, regardless of priority. On weekdays, the eighteen vein masters discuss matters together. Only when the Ten Thousand Years begins will a Holy Master be elected to unite all the veins and jointly respond to the spiritual tide opportunities!
This shows that

The Taixuan Holy Land is similar to an alliance. Each sect in the holy land maintains a high degree of autonomy, but everyone lives in the holy land and will only be integrated at special times, and are collectively referred to as Taixuan to the outside world.

The Holy Lord is a leader elected by everyone, representing the face of the holy land. He is responsible for foreign affairs and overall planning. However, the real pillar of the holy land is said to be the elusive Supreme Elder!
Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart.

This supreme elder is probably either in the Yuanshen stage or a person with great supernatural powers. He will not show up unless it is a critical moment, and he wants to remain mysterious to deter external enemies.

Of course, this is just the model of Taixuan Holy Land.

Each holy place is different. Maybe the Holy Lord is the one with the highest cultivation level, and this person doesn’t know the situation of other places.

For example, when he and Tai Xuan agreed to divide up the Guigu Holy Land in Lu, he was completely in the dark and had no idea of ​​the other party's inner situation.

His personal belongings were also turned out by Lin Shan. Although they were indeed much richer than those of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, they were nothing in his eyes now.

The only thing that caught his attention was a pentagonal square token engraved with a writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

【Taixuan Messenger Token】

Quality: Fifth-level spiritual material

Introduction: The identity token of the Taixuan Holy Land envoy 'Qin Shen', made of the fifth-level spiritual material Donghuang Nanmu.

Enhancement required: 128 points

"The Holy Land Messenger."

Lin Shan's mind turned, and he began to feel sick.

Isn’t this a ready-made vest?

From now on, when I go out, I will just pretend to be an envoy of the holy land and cheat people. Anyway, it is Taixuan Holy Land that will take the blame, so what does it have to do with me, Lin Shan?
This token is exclusive and bound to this young man only. The enhanced panel gives his name as Qin Shen.

After the soul-searching, his memory was disordered and he became a vegetative state.

Lin Shan did not kill him, because there must be a soul lamp in the holy land. If Qin Shen died and the lamp went out, he would definitely be cancelled from the holy land. How could he pretend to be someone else?

It is better to keep this person's soul for now and not alert the enemy. As for the arrangements of Taixuan Holy Land in Lu State, do not destroy it for now.

Especially when the envoy from the other Guigu Holy Land has not been confirmed yet, any rash changes may alert the other party.

As for Qin Shen's Nascent Soul, it was handed over to the Avatar of Destruction.

The clone devoured more than a dozen Nascent Souls in the Vimalo Desert. Logically, he should have been able to break through to the late stage long ago, but he was suppressed by Lin Shan.

My original body is not even in the late stage, how can your clone be in the late stage?
The realm of the clone cannot exceed that of the original body. This is a necessary safety measure to prevent strange possession of the body.

Now that he had broken through, he released the control over his clone and no longer restricted it from breaking through on its own. Anyway, no matter how much energy the Nascent Soul in the late stage swallowed, it could never be stronger than the Primordial Spirit.

As for what Qin Shen said to True Lord Xingyun before, that the holy land had allocated a lot of resources to him, it was all empty talk!

Because it is impossible for any holy land to have so many resources that it has nowhere to use them, so it would not specially reward so many good things to outsiders.

The truth is, after Qin Shen achieved certain results in Lu, he reported them to the Holy Land. His master gave him a certain reward. He then took out a small portion of what he had obtained and rewarded it to the Nascent Soul cultivators in Lu.

Not to mention, this model is not bad. This guy is quite knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

It’s a pity that Lin Shan didn’t know how to contact Taixuan Holy Land, otherwise he would also want to claim some cultivation resources. It just so happened that his soul source had been used up, and he didn’t know where to borrow investment from!

Who doesn’t know how to take advantage of others?
"Forget it, let's wait for Taixuan Holy Land to contact me."

He is very brave now. After all, the Holy Land has so many plans, and it wouldn't hurt if a parasite like him sneaks in.

If the benefits are really great, it is not impossible to help them with some face-saving projects.
After collecting the items, he walked out of the Star Mansion and returned to the outside world.

Looking into the distance, the two armies of monks started a new round of attack.

The Ludong coalition led by Yin Wujiu, the True Lord of the Blood River, is attacking the important town in southeastern Lu. Luluo leads the local sects and families to rise up in resistance.

The battles between the two sides were extremely brutal, with numerous casualties. The cultivation world in Lu State had suffered from constant wars in recent years and had suffered enormous losses.

Lin Shan quietly watched the battle end. At dusk, both sides withdrew their troops and waited for another day to fight.

late at night.

Yin Wujiu, the True Lord of the Blood River, was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing in the camp. Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly. He opened his eyes and glanced outside the tent, and then his figure trembled!
Disappeared in the camp.

Ten miles away, under the moonlight, a figure stood alone on the ground.

"Messenger, you're looking for me?"

"How things went."

True Lord Xuehe said anxiously with a hint of flattery:

"That woman is a bit tricky. She is probably not a casual cultivator, but is probably from a famous sect. However, after many days of fighting, I have figured out all her tricks. In another half a month... no... in another seven days, I will definitely be able to take over Southeast Shandong!"

Lin Shan didn't turn around. He imitated Qin Shen's voice and snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

"You are such a loser. True Lord Xingyun of Lubei completed the unification of the two regions yesterday, but you are still dithering here. I doubt whether it is necessary to continue cooperating with you!"

After hearing this, True Lord Xuehe was shocked and hurried forward to beg.

"Emissary, give me three more days! I will definitely take over Southeast Shandong. I swear!"

"You have to go through so much trouble to be a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul. If I let you infiltrate the Central Region in the future, what will you use to fight against the four great families in the Central Region?"

"I"

True Lord Xuehe was almost choked and cursed in his heart!

You also know that I am only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. How can I complete those unreasonable tasks of yours?

If it wasn't for cultivation resources, who would be willing to put up with your bullshit?

"This envoy has observed today that the girl seems to be quite good, so I plan to recruit her into my team. Let's end this battle here."

"What? Then what should I do?!"

"You? Humph~ You should withdraw your troops back to Ludong, integrate Ludong and Ludongnan as soon as possible, and then prepare to deploy in the Central Region to avoid being overtaken by another holy land."

"Mr. Envoy, how could you do this?!"

True Lord Xuehe was shocked. He and Green Rose had fought for so long, but in the end they had to merge.

Then wouldn't all his work be in vain?

"Does this envoy need to consult you about what to do?"

There was an unquestionable tone in Lin Shan's voice, which was also an indirect help to Luoluo. After all, she was Sailor Moon's best friend, and she had a slight acquaintance with him at the beginning, so it was a matter of convenience.

But Master Xuehe was not going to let it go, and his tone suddenly became a little tougher.

"Emissary, our Blood River Palace has been joining the Taixuan Holy Land since the beginning of the Wanhui Year. My master was promised by the Holy Lord to be the leader of the 19th vein in the future. My uncle sacrificed himself for the Holy Land in the outbreak of the spiritual tide. My brother Yin Wuming even established a country at the southern end of the continent early on and made great contributions!"

"You simply ignored my efforts, recruited new people to cooperate with you, and left the old people aside. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the master?"

"Even if he doesn't say anything else, at least he can still have a say in front of the Holy Lord."

Yin Wujiu was no pushover either. When he heard that the envoy wanted to start a new business, he actually threatened him secretly.

Lin Shan originally didn't bother to care about him, thinking of being a peacemaker and resolving the dispute, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to threaten him back?
If he really lets him go forward, won't Qin Shen's identity as the Holy Land's envoy be exposed?

Is that okay?

"It seems that you are not willing to accept my toast, so you'll have to drink the wine for punishment. Well, since you are seeking death, I will send you off!" (End of this chapter)
