Immortal Road.

"After the evil spirit retreats, we will follow the previous practice and split into two groups to act first. Xushen Mountain and its affiliated forces will be one group, and Danding Holy Land will be another."

"The allies of Xushen Mountain quickly seized the three caves that West Valley had developed in the past, searching for the new demonic energy and molten demon crystal cores that appeared during the brewing of demonic energy."

"All the people in the holy land will be divided into two teams, each moving north and south to seize the two caves adjacent to the North Valley Youzhu Holy Land and the two caves adjacent to the South Valley Guigu Holy Land."

"We have to capture at least two this time. If possible, we should expand the victory as much as possible. You guys need to fight again!"

The atmosphere in the central army tent was solemn. Everyone stared intently, listening attentively to the white-haired old man, the leader of the Dan Ding Holy Land, Grandmaster Mingyuan, as he arranged the details of the battle into the valley.

Although Lin Shan was close to the edge of the tent door, he was once a peak master-level figure in the late Jindan period, so he barely squeezed into the upper level.

He listened carefully to the arrangements on the stage, thinking in his mind how to act in the best interest of himself.

Zhang Yunxi was seen sitting in the fourth seat, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyelashes blinking, her profile slightly glowing, staring at the map intently and attentively, completely different from the mysterious person who contacted Lin Shan two months ago.

After Master Mingyuan finished his speech, someone immediately raised some opinions.

"Brother, are we taking too big a step this time?"

Everyone looked over and saw a mature woman in palace dress sitting in the second seat.

"Junior Sister Zhixuan, please speak."

"In terms of strength, we were not at the forefront among the four holy places. We could barely fight against Youzhu Holy Land or Guigu Holy Land. Now we are fighting for the cave with the two holy places in the north and south at the same time. Wouldn't it be a loss to fight on two fronts?"

"That's wrong. We are fighting on two fronts, but won't they be fighting on two fronts too?"

Grandmaster Mingyuan turned and pointed at the map, only to see that the four valleys of east, west, south and north were connected, each with two neighbors, allowing expansion in two directions.

"The resources in the valley seem to be limited at the moment, especially the unknown caves that have been explored. There are only two left in the north and south of our West Valley, and the rest are similar."

"If we fight for the two caves bordering the south or north with all our strength, we will probably have a life-and-death battle with a certain holy land. It is better to occupy one on each side and leave room for the other side."

"Besides, in order not to put all their eggs in one cage, most people will choose to divide their forces and expand their territory in both directions."

"The ones under the greatest pressure should be the Guigu Holy Land in the south and the Youzhu Holy Land in the north, because they are both adjacent to the Penglai Holy Land, the strongest Holy Land in the East Valley. Maybe they have already discussed joining forces to deal with Penglai!"

"Especially at a time like this, we must not put pressure on the other side or cause trouble in the rear. Splitting our forces into two groups shows that we have no ambitions, so as not to arouse their fear."

Grandmaster Zhixuan didn't say much, as if he was still thinking.

Grandmaster Mingyuan looked at the third person, the silver-eyed young man who had remained silent.

"What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"I will follow my brother's arrangements and have no objection."

"it is good!"

He nodded with satisfaction and finally looked at the fourth person, Zhang Yunxi.

"Brother, what you said makes sense. The strong threat from the Penglai Holy Land will inevitably lead to attacks from both the north and the south. Our location is relatively safe."

"But we also have to consider that our strength is originally insufficient. Some time ago, reinforcements arrived from the Youzhu Holy Land and the Guigu Holy Land, while we can only continue to recruit scattered soldiers from the Chu Kingdom. The gap is not small."

"If we only rely on this bunch of rabble, how can we divide our forces into two groups and make progress in capturing a cave each at the same time?"

This is really hurtful.

On the other side, True Lord Shenwu and the cultivators from Xushen Mountain and its affiliated forces were all a little embarrassed and did not dare to lose face in front of the envoys from the holy land. They could only lower their heads and pretend not to hear.

Grandmaster Mingyuan shook his head slightly.

"It's no wonder Junior Sister Yunxi thinks this way, but some things are in the hands of man. Those two families may focus most of their energy on dealing with Penglai. We are not without a chance."

"Besides, as long as we can achieve important results here, the headquarters will make up their minds at the end of the spiritual tide and give up other places to fully support us."

"What we need most now is to try to gain more resources and market share, and show our achievements to the rear. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Yunxi nodded slightly without saying much.

None of the many Nascent Soul cultivators below raised any objection.

Lin Shan finally understood that in Dan Ding Holy Land, Grandmaster Mingyuan had the final say!
This old man probably has a powerful backer behind him, and his seniority in the Holy Land is extremely high. No one else has the right to change what he has decided.

"Fellow Daoist Shenwu, then as we said before, please take your men to clean up the battlefield first."

"I will follow Grandmaster Mingyuan's orders!"

Master Shenwu had no intention of opposing the other party at all, and he just believed whatever the other party said.

A pre-war mobilization was completed smoothly at an extremely fast pace.

The next step is to take down the stronghold and mobilize all forces!

"Woo~wu~wu~"

Walk out of the central army.

After returning to the base at Luwu Peak, Lin Shan could hear the long echoes of the horn everywhere, spreading far away in the misty black fog.

The huge tripod in the center also rose into the air, slowly shrank, and was taken away by someone and disappeared.

"Master, get ready to go!"

Ji Yuanzi passed by and saw Lin Shan and greeted him.

Lin Shan smiled slightly and nodded to his second disciple.

In the camp, huge ships rose one after another and floated in the air. There were thousands and thousands of them, which was a spectacular sight!
The thousand people from Luwu Peak were divided into four large and ten small flying vehicles, a total of thirteen flying instruments, led by three Yuanying period monks respectively, and ten small boats were in a reconnaissance posture to guard the surroundings.

Apparently, during the years of fighting in the Fallen Demon Valley, the thick demonic energy had greatly reduced visibility, and a system had been developed long ago for safety reasons.

"set off!"

Standing on the bow.

Lin Shan faced the strong wind, watching the large flags waving beside him. The evil spirit in front of him gradually retreated inside, and many ships around him moved forward in unison.

The army of hundreds of thousands of cultivators is composed of the forces of most of the Chu State's cultivation world and part of the Danding Holy Land.

Ji Wangzi held his sword and looked around, gazing into the distance, full of confidence.

"Master, when you were in power, have you ever seen such a spectacular sight?"

"Never."

“Hahahaha, we should make great achievements on this trip, spread our wings like a roc, and soar into the sky for 90,000 miles!”

"As long as my disciple is happy."

"."

While Lin Shan was perfunctorily dealing with his eldest son, he was also chatting with the remaining soul of Xu Ji Zi in Luwu Peak.

"You have to be careful. My disciple is very likely in the Devil's Valley, waiting for an opportunity to attack you. When the time comes, find a deserted place and cry out to the heavens and the earth for help, but no one will respond. You will be killed right now!" "He is in the Nascent Soul stage, and I am only in the Golden Core stage. If he really wants to kill me, no matter how careful I am, it will be useless."

Hearing Lin Shan's nonchalant response, the remaining soul of Xu Jizi became anxious.

"When are you going to help me become an adult? It will be too late if you don't hurry up!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think it's that easy to reincarnate? How can I place you if I can't find a matching body?"

"No need. I have secretly observed the past few days and found a candidate!"

"Oh?"

Lin Shan was surprised. When did the remaining soul of Xu Jizi have a target?
"Just to your left, do you see that guy with a mole on the corner of his mouth?"

Hearing this, he turned around and looked behind the excited Ji Wangzi. A young man was blinking innocently:

"Master, is there something wrong?"

This is Ji Wangzi's disciple, who is also the disciple of Xu Jizi's disciple. There is nothing wrong with calling Lin Shan "Master" or "Grandmaster".

"This boy is already in the Golden Core stage. With your current soul level, it will not be easy to take over his body."

He was secretly chatting with the remnant soul of Xu Jizi, with an ambiguous look in his eyes, which made this 'young man with a mole' feel uneasy.

"It doesn't matter. I still have you. Find a chance to knock him out. I'll swallow his soul and use him as a substitute!"

The remaining soul of Xu Jizi laughed strangely, as if he had seen a rare delicacy.

"Master, are you listening to me?"

Ji Wangzi was spitting and sentimental for a while, then he found that Lin Shan seemed a little absent-minded, and he immediately felt unhappy!
As an apprentice, who doesn’t like to show off in front of the master and show off his or her bold, unrestrained and muscular side?
But this old guy is so ignorant and dares to treat me perfunctorily. I'm afraid he is tired of living!

Lin Shan was speechless, but he had to cooperate with the performance on the surface and put on an expression of great satisfaction.

"My disciple has grown up. He is now 80% as heroic as I was back then. Er, far better than I was back then!!!"

"Is there any? Hahahaha!"

There was a fierce light flashing in Ji Wangzi's eyes, reflecting cruelty in the sea of ​​demonic energy. The strong wind made his hair dance wildly, and a trace of ferocity appeared at the corner of his mouth.

A voice that only Lin Shan could hear lingered in his ears:

"Old man, I will pay you back double for what you did to me. Just wait."

Huhuhuhu~~~
Lin Shan stood at the bow facing the wind and almost thought he had heard it wrong!

What? Double what? He owes me something.

The remaining soul of Xu Jizi quietly shrank back, and dared not chat with Lin Shan in front of Ji Wangzi anymore, for fear that Hao Daer would attack his original body, and he would not have time to take over the body!
Because it is a joint operation, and this time the purpose is to seize the initiative, the speed is not slow.

Even with the demonic energy filling the air, they still managed to reach the depths of the Fallen Demon Valley after an hour and a half.

"We have now reached the East Valley. There are still traces of the old camp ahead. We will advance a hundred miles to set up camp and then divide our forces!"

Grandmaster Mingyuan of Danding Holy Land gave an order.

Two torrents burst out from the fleet and rushed directly into the Demon Sea, causing a raging black torrent.

After a while, the new camp was built.

The huge tripod was once again erected in the center of the camp, supporting a screen of fire and smoke, and transformed into a formation to protect the camp from harm.

Lord Shenwu was commanding at the front. Each peak of Xushen Mountain and each sect of the Chu State left behind a small number of people to participate in the division and construction of the new camp, while the main force proceeded according to the predetermined plan.

Here it immediately splits into three torrents.

One goes south, one goes north, and one continues to cross from the west!
Ji Wangzi looked at the compass in his hand, which was stubborn and unresponsive. The needle kept jumping back and forth and he couldn't find the direction for a long time. He cursed the sect's weapon refining workshop for being rubbish and continued his mission with Lu Wufeng.

It seemed like I had been here before, so this time I was familiar with it.

Even though visibility and the range of spiritual scanning were compressed, it was still possible to roughly identify the direction and swim freely in the sea of ​​demonic energy, leaving behind strips of gray ribbons to guide the direction of the following ships.

After a while, the surrounding environment changed drastically.

Tall, thin hills came into view, passing around their ships, and the fleet moved through them like dancing snakes.

Until they arrived at a certain place, outside a large dark cave.

"This is Cave No. 2 that our camp has developed. Let's go in and see if there are any good things left behind after the demonic tide!"

There were roars from other peak masters of Xushen Mountain ahead, and small black dots on the boat fell off one after another and stepped into the cave on foot.

Ji Wangzi also began to give orders.

"Everyone abandon the ship and search the cave. Stay alert and follow the wall to the right. Finally, go down the stairs at the fourth underground entrance and meet at the cliff 700 steps away!"

After saying this, he, Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi couldn't wait to leave the main force behind, rushed into the cave and disappeared.

Obviously, because of his strength at the Nascent Soul stage, he planned to go in first to see if he could reap any rewards, and did not want to be dragged down by the disciples below.

The Jindan stage cultivators of Luwu Peak followed suit, passing the orders to the deacons at the next level and rushing in.

The deacons below didn't dare to act recklessly.

Because they had been specifically instructed by their superiors to lead the Qi training disciples throughout the entire process, and anyone who dared to escape without permission would be severely punished!
No one cares about Lin Shan.

Because he is the previous peak master, his seniority and strength are there. Now, except for those three people, the other Jindan stage cultivators don't want to have anything to do with him at all.

"Let's go, hurry up and follow Ji Wangzi's apprentice. This is the perfect opportunity to seize his body!"

The remaining soul of Xu Jizi roared excitedly, urging Lin Shan to follow quickly.

"What are you arguing about? Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Lin Shan glanced at the peak master's token with displeasure. This guy was becoming more and more ignorant, and he didn't care about the difference between big and small kings.

"If you dare to yell again, I will return the Peak Master token to Ji Wangzi and let you yell at him!"

The remaining soul of Xu Jizi suddenly became speechless, and curled up inside, not daring to speak anymore.

This cave was indeed not small. It was extremely cold inside, filled with demonic energy, and there were whistling cold winds that felt like a knife cutting through it from time to time, causing those with low cultivation levels to feel pain all over their bodies.

He gently left the sight of everyone, and no longer controlled Xu Jizi's golden elixir body. Not only was his speed too slow, but his strength was also weak. He turned around and threw him into the Star Mansion, and walked out with him.
It is the incarnation of Nirvana!

Gently stretching his rusty torso, it was finally his clone's turn to come into play.

Lin Shan's real body is not suitable to show up in public, because he has to hide his identity and cannot implicate the Xun Gu Sect, so this time in the Demon Valley, he can basically only rely on his Jiemie clone to take action throughout the whole process!
Relying on the strange Dharma image, he devoured all the way to the late Nascent Soul stage. He raised the troops for a thousand days and deployed them for a moment, and this time happened to be the place to use his skills.

His figure just trembled and then disappeared without a trace.
