Immortal Road.

After walking for a while, I stopped and found that no one was catching up with me.

Lin Shan and Zhang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

"Shui Xingye and Zi Chengqian can't be out for too long. They are under great pressure on the north and south fronts. The two sacred places of Youzhu and Guigu may take the opportunity to counterattack, so this ambush will stop here."

"Fortunately, you still have the Nine Tribulations King Cauldron as a backup. It turns out that you are the core figure of the Dan Ding Holy Land. You kept it a secret before!"

Faced with Lin Shan's speculation, Zhang Yunxi remained noncommittal.

"Thank you for your help this time, Brother Lin. We agreed before that Penglai will offer you 20 Demon Realm Origin Qi as a reward. Please keep them."

She flipped her hand and really took out twenty strands of demonic energy, and gave them to Lin Shan without any delay.

"Hahaha, then I'll be disrespectful in rejecting it."

Lin Shan was not vague and put it directly into his pocket.

After witnessing the power of Shui Xingye this time, he couldn't help but be alert in his heart. This is definitely a real formidable enemy!

It seems that if I want to fight for the Dark Star fragments, I must plan carefully.

It is probably not realistic for the Avatar of Annihilation to win the championship head-on with just his clone. With the help of all the external forces that can be used, it will make things a lot easier for him in the later stages.

He looked at the twenty strands of demonic energy in his hand and had an idea in mind.

Zhang Yunxi is more optimistic.

"I really thought Shui Xingye was a strong opponent, but after the fight, I realized that he was just so-so. I just tested him a little and he forced him to use his ultimate move, while I haven't even used my true strength yet. This time, the difference between us is clear!"

"Oh? The Red Lotus Karma Fire is not considered the real strength?"

Lin Shan was a little surprised, but he soon figured it out. This was a method bestowed by the Red Lotus Ancestor, not her own talent or magical power.

“But if we really count them, apart from the immortal treasures I have already exposed, this time you exposed the Red Lotus Karma Fire and the Nine Tribulations Cauldron, and Shui Xingye exposed the Great Teleportation Array Talisman and the Nine Abyss Tide Song. In terms of intelligence, we are even, and we didn’t make a big profit.”

"Yeah, that's right."

Zhang Yunxi nodded. Two for two, it was indeed a draw.

However, the Nine Tribulations King Cauldron at most exposed the camp behind her, but concealed her personal combat power, laying the groundwork for the decisive battle in the future.

Don’t underestimate this crucial stroke. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat!

Every time Shui Xingye reveals a method, as long as we are mentally prepared, we can always make a countermeasure and find a way to crack it, just like Lin Shan’s Beishi crossbow cart, no matter how powerful it is, we can balance it in another way.

"It's a pity that Zi Chengqian came to interfere at the last moment, otherwise we would be able to see what kind of Dharma image she was about to display, which would be of great reference to us in the future!"

"It's a pity indeed. Zi Chengqian is also a formidable opponent, and Zi Chen Xinghuan is a genius from the past ten thousand years.
——The magic treasure of the great master Yuxing Zhenjun, its power should not be underestimated. "

"It's just a magical treasure, why is it so serious?"

Zhang Yunxi didn't take it seriously and didn't even take the spiritual treasure seriously.

Lin Shan had witnessed the power of the Zi Chen Star Ring in the Yuxing Secret Treasure and had never underestimated Zi Chengqian.

"Don't be careless, the power of this magic treasure lies in its ability to summon the projection of the Star God!"

"The strength of the Star Lord's projection is a variable, which is closely related to his current realm, but it is also linked to the current Purple Star Lord of the upper realm."

“If the opponent is a formidable and powerful being, once he descends to the lower world, he may be able to crush the lower world with his Yuanying stage strength and high-level knowledge, and he may be comparable to the Yuan Nian incarnation of a Yuanshen stage cultivator!”

"Besides, he has more than one such spiritual treasure."

Thinking of this, Lin Shan already had a premonition in his heart.

The projection of the Star God summoned by the Golden Core Stage back then and the projection of the Star God with the current Yuanying Stage strength are definitely not on the same level!
At the same time, he was also sighing, wondering why his enhanced spiritual treasure could not summon the projection of the Star God.

Later he figured it out, because the enhanced panel was a very strange thing in itself. It must have been fabricated out of thin air or stolen from an existing technique. It was too busy concealing its origins, so how could it be possible to specifically connect with others?
The only thing that is certain is that every time a Star God projection is summoned, a huge amount of star power will be consumed!

Zi Chengqian had been reluctant to use the star power before in order to cultivate with its aid, but now he was already in the late Nascent Soul stage and could not make any further progress. In this fight for the Dark Star fragments, he would definitely use this peerless killing move at all costs!
However, if he could be tempted to use a "fate collision" before that, and use the disaster star to destroy the Purple Star in the upper realm, the star track would be out of balance and the Star Court would be furious. They would definitely hold the Purple Star Lord accountable, and by then he would be too busy to take care of himself, which would be equivalent to destroying this trick in advance.
Lin Shan's mind was full of calculations. Because of him, two Purple Star Lords had already suffered misfortune, and the third one was probably on the way to being sent to the Star Court Prison.

I watch the punishment!
This move is like cutting off the source of the problem. Once Zi Chengqian falls into the trap, he will abandon his martial arts and will definitely fall flat on his face at the critical moment!

It was obviously impossible for Zhang Yunxi to understand the twists and turns involved, and she couldn't even explain it clearly for the time being because the relationship was a bit complicated.

Just hearing this, a serious look appeared on my face.

"Star Lord Projection. I'll check it out when I get back. I think there should be some records of this from the last Wanhui Year. I hope there are ways to control it."

After she took note of this important news, she discussed future cooperation with Lin Shan and then said goodbye.

Both of them wanted to hide their identities and locations, so they tacitly went their separate ways.

Secretly returned to the front line of the Milun Valley.

Lin Shan's real body was still hiding in the courtyard of the Xing Mansion. Ruyu, who was next to him, had dug a star power pond to plant flowers and raise fish in order to take care of the little toad.

The avatar of Silence brought back two sixth-level molten demon crystal cores.

This was obtained by finding the Demon Dog Lord on the road in exchange for the twenty newly acquired strands of Demonic Energy. One should not sacrifice one's own resources, so once one has them, one should promptly exchange them for combat power in case of emergency.

What surprised him was that the Demon Dog Lord had made his fortune from somewhere and it seemed that he still had stock. He told him to come and patronize him more often if he had business in the future!
Which sixth-level molten magic crystal core mine was dug up?
Xu Jizi has been living a very comfortable life these days.

Ever since he was promoted to Nascent Soul Elder by True Lord Shenwu, although he was threatened and bullied by Lin Shan, he took it out on his own disciples at Luwu Peak!
It was a carrot and stick policy, from Ji Wangzi, Ji Yuanzi, Ji Kangzi to the deacons and disciples, big and small, all were beaten by him one by one.

Now Quanfeng was back under his control, and he lived a very comfortable life every day. It felt so good to be in power again.

The key is that Lin Shan is too lazy to care about him. He just uses this identity to hide. There are basically no restrictions on his freedom. Sometimes, when he doesn't understand something in cultivation, he can even come to ask for advice.

When he is free, he would reply to her. When he is not free, he would just ignore her and practice in the Star Mansion.

Xu Jizi even felt that he had made a profit!

这 是
"Is it for nothing that I can find a senior to guide me in my cultivation?"

"When a person reaches old age, is he suddenly possessed by a big boss? "

"Is the counterattack system only available in the Nascent Soul stage?"

The Jiuyou Sect on the opposite side of the Milun River Valley was very well behaved and never took the initiative to provoke disputes, thus maintaining a balance.

Two and a half years had passed in the darkness of the Fallen Devil Valley. The northern front was in a long stalemate.

After a bloody battle, Danding Holy Land and Xushen Mountain won a partial victory. After detection, they discovered and occupied a magic cave, and then took the initiative to stop the offensive.

The Youzhu Holy Land and the Qing Alliance were also not idle. They took possession of another magic cave, then divided the border, signed an agreement to cease fire, and began to send out multiple rounds of envoys for negotiations. They were planning to begin defining their sphere of influence.

The south is the main attack direction of the Danding Holy Land. Grandmaster Mingyuan has also captured a magic cave. The situation is indeed proceeding according to the original preset goal.

Wait until everything is settled.

After receiving the order, Xu Jizi led Luwu Peak to enter the northern magic cave and started looting with people from other peaks.

The new magic cave has not been mined yet, and there are indeed many good things inside!

Especially the Green Firefly Magic Diamond, which is almost visible to the naked eye. The mineral veins are like meridians, clearly displayed on the surface. You can't see the end at a glance, and you can't count them. No wonder so many people are digging for it!
The ore in this cave alone is worth more than all the treasures of a top sect.

The molten magic crystal cores and the source energy of the demon world are often obtained by others. The law of the jungle is followed in the magic world, so in the invisible dark corners, many people choose to attack their own people and snatch the fruits of their labor!
Lin Shan would naturally not let it go, and his Jiemie clone personally took action, and everyone he saw was embraced with a smile.

At the same time, he directly reached out and took away what Xu Jizi and Lu Wufeng had obtained. Of course, he would not pick it all up, because then Xu Shen Mountain and Dan Ding Holy Land would definitely notice something was wrong.

He took 80% and left 20% for Luwufeng.

A total of fourteen demonic energy sources, a sixth-level molten magic crystal core, and a bunch of fifth-level molten magic crystal cores and green firefly magic diamonds were harvested.

Mining lasted for more than ten days. After all resources were exhausted, another wave of demons swept in from the Central Valley, driving away all outsiders.

The Danding Holy Land issued an urgent order for all units to evacuate quickly, and personally set up the concealment formation brought from the holy land to clean up the mess.

This round of demonic tide came extremely quickly, and before we were basically prepared, they were driven out of the West Valley and returned to the outskirts of the Fallen Demon Valley.

This time, tens of thousands of people have been stationed in the rear base, and a new round of conscription from the State of Chu has been launched to make up for the cannon fodder consumed this time.

In the camp, the lights were on and all the top leaders gathered together!
"Everyone, the fifth wave of demons is coming, and the final battle is about to begin."

"At present, our Danding Holy Land has five magic cave passages, which is on par with Youzhu and Guigu Holy Land. Although Penglai has six, it is only slightly ahead."

"The results of the last round of battle were outstanding. Thank you all for your bravery. I have reported back to the Holy Land and received the approval of the Holy Lord!"

Grandmaster Mingyuan stood on the stage, his face beaming with joy, his eyes shining.

"The Fallen Demon Valley will be one of the main battlefields for the final battle for the Alchemy Sacred Land in the second round of spiritual tides in the Wanhui Year!"

"In the coming period, the Holy Land will dispatch a large number of elite monks and supplies to support the front line and inject more fresh troops into us."

"And all of you allies, in order to commend you and help you improve your strength, the Holy Land will also be generous in cultivating you and give you due rewards according to your contributions."

The eyes of the monk representatives from the Chu State lit up.

It seems that this time the work was not in vain. After comparing the spiritual tides in various places, the Danding Holy Land found that there was greater hope in the Fallen Demon Valley, so they decided to cancel those worthless battlefields, immediately abandon them and concentrate their attention here.

A corresponding large amount of resources will also flow in. Apart from anything else, there will definitely be no shortage of elixirs for cultivation and breaking through realms!

The purpose of this meeting was mainly to celebrate the success. Grandmaster Mingyuan and Grandmaster Zhixuan had a certain prestige in the Danding Holy Land and belonged to the same faction. After their achievements in the Fallen Demon Valley, it was hard for them not to be happy, so they gave out unprecedented rewards.

Not to mention anything else, Luwu Peak alone obtained tens of thousands of pills!
Among them, there are four bottles that are beneficial for Nascent Soul stage cultivation, Xu Jizi, Ji Wangzi, Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi, each of them has a bottle of ten pills. The guardian deacons below have various benefits. Even the low-level pills produced by Dan Ding Holy Land are high-quality!
Zhang Yunxi sat quietly on the stage, not saying a word, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Ever since she and Lin Shan went to Donggu to ambush Shui Xingye last time, she has become extremely low-key since she came back, not participating in anything, as if she had become a decoration.

The matter of privately using the Nine Tribulations King Cauldron must have reached the ears of Grandmaster Mingyuan.

Using public property for personal gain, especially during a war, disregarding the safety of the base camp just for personal gain, the consequences can be imagined!

However, Lin Shan didn't seem to see anything on her face, as if he didn't care at all, and everything was so indifferent.

The celebration lasted until late at night before it finally dispersed.

Xu Jizi had just returned to the camp with his apprentice. After resting alone, he delivered the bottle of elixir to Lin Shan of Xing Mansion with a very proper attitude.

"Sir, this is what I left for you."

"No need."

Seeing that he had been very well-behaved in the past two years, Lin Shan did not withhold his cultivation resources. Otherwise, Ji Wangzi's three disciples would have them, but he, their master, would not have them, and it would be difficult for him to control Luwu Peak if his cultivation level fell behind.

"Next, you should focus on finding out the support strength of Dan Ding Holy Land. Who are the people who have come? Their cultivation strength, identity and background. Find out everything and report to me. Also, pay more attention to the inside information about the upcoming decisive battle."

"understand!"

the other side.

There were only four people left in the big tent.

The joy on Grandmaster Mingyuan and Grandmaster Zhixuan's faces gradually faded, and worry crept onto their brows.

"Brother, the Holy Lord has sent all the people from Elder Tai Yu and Elder Jing Shu here this time, and it seems that they want to fight for power and credit. Are we just going to let them sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor? Are they going to share in the profits of our efforts over the past decade?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. When we were trying to get reinforcements, we should have thought of this consequence. Besides, there are five magic caves corresponding to five void passages. Our current number is obviously not enough."

"But what should we do if they come and fight for dominance? The next round of decisive battle is imminent. How should we arrange the plan to enter the valley? Senior brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Grandmaster Mingyuan nodded and scratched the five magic caves on the map.

"In my opinion, we should divide the new reinforcements into two passages, and we will occupy three passages. The various forces of Xushen Mountain of Chu will be separated into five teams and retained as cannon fodder."

"This time we will split into three groups. I will go one way, Junior Sister Zhixuan will go one way, and Junior Brother Tonghao will go one way. We will cut through the thorns and gather intelligence along the way. In the end, we will see who can reach the center of the Void Maze first!"

"This time the danger is quite great, but it also brings opportunities. I hope we can meet at the end. One more passage means one more advantage. I think the other three holy places will not give up and will each send a large number of reinforcements."

Grandmaster Zhixuan nodded and just looked at Zhang Yunxi who was silent beside him.

"What about Junior Sister Yunxi? How should we arrange for her this time?"

"Humph, you dared to embezzle the Nine Tribulations Cauldron while we were away. Who knows how big a mess you'll get into after you enter the Central Valley Void Maze!"

Grandmaster Mingyuan was still furious when he recalled what happened back then, so he made the final decision.

"She stays outside the magic cave, guarding our retreat route and being responsible for the support. She is not allowed to enter the valley!"
