Immortal Road.

"You bullshit!"

Xu Jizi suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly retorted.

"shut up!"

Zhenjun Shenwu shouted loudly, his eyes as dark as the abyss, warning him not to interrupt midway, and turned to look at Ji Wangzi.

"Go on."

Ji Wangzi swallowed his saliva. Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi were also very nervous beside him, lowering their heads and not daring to look at each other.

"My master said that he is going to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I think the friendship between master and disciple is an eternal principle. Master has taught us well, so we can't just sit there and do nothing. We must find a way to help him."

"Since the old man is already old and his body's Qi and blood are declining, he doesn't have the foundation to break through, so we decided to give him the Blood Infant Pill to help him become an infant."

"But I didn't expect that after Master successfully survived the heavenly tribulation under the protection of the three of us brothers, he would suddenly seize power from us and demand the position of the leader of Luwu Peak!"

"My disciple didn't agree, so he attacked without warning and injured three of us. The Qing League on the other side of the valley saw us fighting among ourselves and decisively sent troops to attack, resulting in our current defeat."

This narrative is told in a leisurely and serious manner.

No matter the cause, process, motivation or logic, they all match exactly. No matter whether Shenwu Zhenjun believes it or not, Jiwangzi and the other two believe it anyway!

"Bullshit! You guys, that's all nonsense."

Xu Jizi was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. How could someone confuse right and wrong and stir up trouble like this? He was clearly the victim, but suddenly he became the perpetrator?
Master Shenwu turned his head and looked at him.

"This is real?"

"No, absolutely not, Uncle Shenwu, you must redress my injustice. It was clearly the three of them who wanted to murder me!"

Ji Yuanzi immediately stepped forward to provide evidence.

"Master, what you said is wrong. If we want to murder you, why should we help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Ji Kangzi also stepped forward.

"Right! Obviously, if the three of us at the Nascent Soul stage want to murder you at the Golden Core stage, we can just do it directly. Why should we help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage before doing it? Isn't that asking for trouble?"

The questions these two people asked were very sharp, and Master Shenwu couldn't help but believe this side after hearing them.

Xu Jizi's throat was suddenly blocked, and he actually felt like he had a point but couldn't express it.

Ji Wangzi sighed repeatedly and shed tears when he saw this scene.

"The four of us, the master and the disciples, are originally one family. Luwu Peak's position in the sect is not stable. But at this time, the master wants to plot against the disciples and others. Otherwise, the position of the peak master will be lost.

You take it!"

Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi were shocked and rushed forward to hug the eldest brother's arm and persuade him to calm down.

Xu Jizi laughed in anger, his face twitching with anger:
"Good, good, good, good boy! You're playing a trick on me."

"enough!!!"

Zhenjun Shenwu shouted loudly, signaling both sides to be quiet, and even scolded Ji Wangzi harshly.

"You are so grown up, and you are still crying. Do you really think I am blind?"

Ji Wangzi's eyes were red, and he looked very loyal and righteous, as if he had given up everything. The two people next to him were afraid that he would mess up the performance, so they nervously made small movements to make him restrain himself.

About ten breaths later.

Master Shenwu thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"I shouldn't have interfered in the internal affairs of your Luwu Peak, but now that the matter has come to the Danding Holy Land's Grandmaster Zhixuan, I must give her an explanation!"

"Today, I will give you a simple mediation between master and disciple. If there is anything dirty in the future, you can discuss it after returning to Xushen Mountain. In the war, you must ensure that the life of the Holy Land takes priority."

"Ji Wangzi, the three of you accepted the military order and led your men north to attack but failed and were defeated instead. You should be punished. Do you know your crime?"

"The younger generation knows the crime and pleads guilty."

Ji Wangzi and others did not dare to talk back and resolutely knelt down and confessed their guilt.

Shenwu Zhenjun turned around again:
"Master-disciple Xu Jizi, you fought a fierce battle with the three of them, which resulted in both sides in Luwu Peak suffering heavy losses. This gave the Qing League an opportunity to take advantage, causing the front line to suffer such a great defeat. Do you admit your guilt?"

"Uncle Master is teaching me that I know my sins and I admit them."

Xu Jizi knew that Shen Wu Zhenjun was serious about this, so he naturally did not dare to contradict him and admitted his guilt readily.

No matter what, they are Yuanying stage cultivators of Xushen Mountain. Whatever Master Shenwu says, it is impossible to damage the strength of the sect. At most, he will just fine them, but his life will not be at stake.

Seeing the four people's attitude of admitting their guilt, Master Shenwu finally calmed down.

"I will cut off your future offerings to the sect for sixty years. In the future, you will also have to set aside time to create a sect-defending magical power inheritance, or ten minor magical power inheritances for the sect. You will also take turns guarding the Yinfeng Cave for ten years. Each of you will also have to train five or more Jindan-stage disciples for the sect."

These are all mandatory tasks. Generally, sects will use this kind of punishment of sacrifice and redemption for high-ranking and powerful Nascent Soul cultivators.

On the one hand, it will not lose its own talents, and on the other hand, it will increase its foundation.

Xu Jizi and his three disciples naturally would not refuse and they all promised to accept the task.

"This matter is settled. I will tell Grandmaster Zhixuan about Dan Ding Holy Land. You must be more careful in the future and don't cause me such big trouble again!"

"Especially Ji Wangzi, Ji Yuanzi, and Ji Kangzi. The three of you have only just broken through the Nascent Soul stage a few years ago. You have little experience to begin with and are currently in the probation period before entering the Elders Council."

"Now that you've made such a fuss, do you think the elders will still grant you a reduction in your sentence?"

The three of them felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but they had nothing to say and could only lower their heads in silence.

Shenwu Zhenjun took a look at Xujizi:

"Since you have successfully entered the Nascent Soul stage, you are already old enough as a member of the Xu generation, so there is no need for a probation period. This will save the huge Luwu Peak from having no position in the Elders Council."

"The seat that your master, Master Shen Di, once held will be passed on to you!"

"In wartime, keep everything simple. Leave the Nascent Soul Ceremony for later when we return to the sect. You can keep the elder token for now."

An oval iron plate was thrown directly over and was caught in Xu Jizi's arms.

Ji Wangzi and the other two standing next to him were dumbfounded!

We have already entered the Nascent Soul stage for more than ten years, and we are still in the probation period. How can he, a loser who just broke through with the help of elixirs, become an elder directly? ? ?
"Thank you, Uncle Master!"

Xu Jizi accepted the elder's token with a smile, excitement showing on his face. This was the identity symbol of the previous Shen Di Zhenjun, and it was the same level as his master back then, and now he finally inherited it.

It seems that after retreating from the Milun Valley, I didn't care about anything else. Before the three traitors came back and collapsed, I took the risk to go back to the rear to verify. It was indeed a wise move. This bet was right!

Of course, it stands to reason that Xu Jizi was born and raised in Xushen Mountain. After returning to his physical body, he no longer had any flaws, so he naturally had nothing to fear.

Even Lin Shan in Xing Mansion did not expect this outcome!

It was so easy? "So, this step was anticipated long ago?"

Xu Jizi proudly transmitted his voice:
"Of course. My master and Uncle Shenwu have known each other since childhood. I have received Uncle Shenwu's teachings on many occasions. Now that I have the strength, he will naturally favor me."

It turned out that it was the grace of the elders.

Ji Wangzi outside felt like the sky was falling!

"Grand Elder, why? Why can he be promoted to elder by relying on the elixir just after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but we can't?"

Master Shenwu glanced at him sideways and shook his head.

"You are now the leader of Luwu Peak. In a wartime situation, I cannot change the leader at will, lest your disciples become disloyal and disobey discipline. Besides, you are unwilling to let Xujizi replace you as the leader, so I can only let him become an elder."

"."

After hearing these words, Ji Wangzi felt uncomfortable all over, but he couldn't even refute it!

It turned out that the position of the leader of Luwu Peak had become a reason to restrict and involve him.

“But didn’t you tell me at the beginning that I had to wait in line for the position of elder?”

"That's right, your master is ranked before you, isn't he~"

"But he used the Blood Infant Pill to become an infant. Can such an unorthodox method really come out on top?"

"If I remember correctly, even if the three of you joined forces in the Milun Valley, you were still no match for your master alone! If he didn't rely on the Blood Infant Pill to become an infant normally, what would happen to him?"

The eyes of Master Shenwu were as sharp as torches, and he could see through the three people's intentions at a glance.

"Don't think that I am in the rear and don't know what is happening on the front line, so you dare to fool me at will!"

"You three clearly had bad intentions and wanted to murder Master, but ended up losing more than you gained. Now you are trying to confuse right and wrong in front of me. With such a character, how can I let you join the Elders Council without any worries?"

"From today on, Luwu Peak will be led by Elder Xujizi. As the peak master, you should assist him well. If I hear of any internal strife again, you guys should think about the consequences for me."

After hearing these words, Ji Wangzi and the other two finally changed their expressions!
He immediately bowed his head and obeyed the order, claiming that he knew he was wrong and asked for forgiveness.

Who is Shenwu Zhenjun? How could an old monster who has lived for a thousand years, an antique in the world of cultivation, not be able to see the difference between right and wrong and be deceived by a few children?
With his final decision, the internal strife was put to an end.

Xu Jizi regained power and took control of Luwu Peak. In just two days, he transformed himself from a prisoner to the ruler.

A beaming smile appeared on his face.

The three disciples hung their heads, looking listless and depressed. They felt extremely regretful!
If I had known, I would have strangled this old man to death in a deserted place when he was in the Jindan stage! Now that things have turned out like this, and there is a boss standing above their heads, their good days are over.

It's been tea time.

Grandmaster Zhixuan returns, and Master Shenwu informs his allies of his decision.

"Just handle it among yourselves and don't affect the overall situation of the Holy Land. You know, it's a good thing that I ran into them this time. If it was Senior Brother Mingyuan standing in front of you, these people would probably be badly injured if not dead."

"I understand."

Zhenjun Shenwu nodded, and master and disciple Xujizi and Jiwangzi also stepped forward to thank him for the forgiveness.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back to the base camp first. You don't need to inform me about the arrangements for the people of Luwu Peak. Just do it in a businesslike manner."

After a few pleasantries, Master Shenwu came and went in a hurry, and soon left again.

Grandmaster Zhixuan glanced at the sand table and closed his eyes, thinking about something.

About half an hour later.

"Report!"

There's news from the front.

"The Milun River Valley position has been recaptured. The Qingmeng monks have retreated back to the second peak to avoid fighting!"

Xu Jizi and his three disciples were secretly shocked, thinking that it was worthy of being the Alchemy Holy Land, as they had just sent people out and the river valley position was immediately recaptured the next moment.

Grandmaster Zhixuan looked up at the four of them, then gave instructions to Xu Jizi.

"You are now in charge of Luwu Peak, right? Lead all the people immediately and return to the Milun Valley to deploy defenses. After the handover is completed, we will switch to a defensive position. Your mission is to hold this place firmly. We don't ask you to make any achievements, but we ask you not to make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"As ordered!"

The four of them looked embarrassed and answered straightforwardly. After receiving the battle order, they immediately went out to fight.

The remaining soldiers of Luwu Peak gathered together, leaving only more than 500 people, a loss of half!
As for the cannon fodder, they suffered heavy casualties. However, the good thing about the Demonic Camp was that they had enough cannon fodder and had more than a thousand more to make up for them. Anyway, they could just transfer more from the State of Chu afterwards.

Then they set off in a mighty force, heading for the front line again!
Along the way, Xu Jizi finally felt proud.

He looked at the three disciples in front of him with a smile on his face. They stood in front of him with their heads hung. Where was the arrogance they had before?

"Master, I was bewildered for a moment and almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, you are very powerful and I escaped without any danger. I will never dare to do that again!"

"Master, please forgive us. We were confused for a moment and just wanted to play a joke on you. We didn't intend to kill you. Please don't take it to heart."

"Master, we were wrong, please forgive us."

These people are now inferior to Xu Jizi in terms of seniority, status, and strength. They finally admitted their mistakes honestly, saw the current situation clearly, and began to respect their teachers again!
"Well, you are not bad people by nature, you are all innocent children, I know that, don't worry about it."

Xu Jizi felt very relieved, but he was not petty and did not want to seek revenge, because the entire Luwu Peak was now back in his hands.

These three apprentices, including all the disciples above and below, are all his thugs. There is no need to break his arms. As long as they can be used and work well for him, that is not a big deal!

Arrival at the Miron Valley.

It was a mess here, with fallen rocks everywhere and bumpy mountain walls.

We experienced two major battles, both of which were brutal.

After the people from Danding Holy Land repelled the Jiuyou Sect and regained the lost territory, they quickly withdrew and returned to their own defense zone.

The Guigu Holy Land on the opposite side must have reacted and might have sent people to raid other lines of defense. Lu Wufeng hurried over to take over, but ran away before he had time to thank his ally.

Only this handover position is left for them.

After Xu Jizi inspected one side, he waved his hand and ordered his disciples to repair the river valley, and Ji Wangzi and the other two to supervise the reconstruction of the formation.

He himself went into the cave alone, and this was where he would survive the tribulation.

He took out a small bottle and smelled an indescribable smell. It was the reward from heaven when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage!

"The Devil's Dew is a legendary rare treasure. Many cultivators have never seen it. They can only hear about it in ancient books and word of mouth. Today, I finally got what I wanted."

He inhaled the aroma to his heart's content, as if he had entered an ice wine cellar in the dog days of summer. The aroma was refreshing and made his whole body tremble and feel numb.

But at this moment, a hateful big hand suddenly stretched out from the Star Mansion and grabbed the small bottle! (End of this chapter)
