Immortal Road.
Chapter 953: Tit for tat, capturing the black lotus
"Ok?"
Everyone turned around and saw Lin Shan coming in from outside the tent.
The leader of the Wudao Sect had sharp eyes and a firm tone. He glanced at him, sneered, and shook his head.
"You are such a secretive person, you dare not even reveal your true identity, yet you are just talking nonsense here. Who let you in?"
The patriarch of the Wushan Yin clan did not expect that as soon as he mentioned Cao Cao, Cao Cao would appear. The clan had already informed him about Lin Shan's matter, so he would naturally recognize him.
No matter what happens now, we have to come up and help.
"Brother Wu, calm down. Come on, let me introduce you to someone we, Yin's clan, have recruited from the rear. This is Brother Lei Fengzi."
"."
There was a moment of silence in the tent, no one responded with any polite words, and the atmosphere was very subtle.
The leader of the Wudao Sect had a smile on his face. Who would dare to interrupt him until he spoke?
The leader of the Nether Curse Sect stood aside and did not care about the matter. He was happy to see the clash between the two sects, but he also did not want to steal the limelight.
Others will not show up either, because they just want to watch the fun and no one will mind the trouble, and no matter what happens, it won't affect them.
Yin Jiuchen, the patriarch of the Yin clan, was a little embarrassed. So many people did not give him face, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the Nascent Soul cultivators in his own camp behind him were quite understanding. Although they did not have a good impression of Lin Shan, they still came out to welcome him and warm up for their clan patriarch.
"Thank you very much, everyone. I was delayed by something and am a little late. Please don't blame me."
"Haha, it's okay~"
"You came just in time. We have been blocked here for several days."
"Please take a seat, fellow Taoist. It is a good opportunity for us to discuss how to break through the barrier."
However, the other side did not appreciate it.
For some reason, the leader of the Wudao Sect felt an inexplicable dislike for Lin Shan when he saw him for the first time. He felt extremely disgusted, and the provocation he had just made against him outside the tent would seriously damage his prestige if he did not suppress it!
So he gave a wink and one of his men immediately stood up.
"That's great. Let me tell Brother Lei Fengzi about the current situation!"
"Who is your Excellency?"
"I am Xuanmiao Zhenjun, the internal affairs elder of Wudao Sect."
Lin Shan was a little surprised. What is the relationship between True Lord Xuan Miao and True Lord Xuan Yong?
The other party enthusiastically gave him a detailed introduction, explaining their current predicament, the opponent's tenacity, the shortage of troops, and the consequences of future delays.
Then the key points are revealed!
"Daoyou Lei Fengzi has been hiding in the rear for more than half a month. While fellow Daoists Chengze are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, you can be said to be extremely relaxed!"
"Now that I have led the reinforcements to the front line, it is time to play a role and contribute to breaking through the barrier!"
"Otherwise, my colleagues here have been fighting hard for many days, but you are just watching the fire from the other side. I don't have any opinions, but I can't guarantee that everyone has no grudges in their hearts."
Master Xuanmiao kept saying that he had no ideas, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was adding fuel to the fire!
What is even more surprising is that they use moral oppression right from the start.
"I suggest that when we raise our troops tomorrow, Fellow Daoist Lei Fengzi should lead the charge and give us a good start. Is that okay?"
Everyone was secretly shocked, and the leader of the Wudao Sect showed approval in his eyes.
In this state of affairs, no one would have any quarrels, and there would be no need to stab in the back, just come at it openly!
Yin Jiuchen saw his sinister intentions and naturally came out to protect his side.
"Haha, Master Xuanmiao, don't joke around. Fellow Daoist Lei Fengzi has just arrived at the frontline and hasn't gotten used to the situation yet. How can you rush him into action and send him directly to the first echelon to attack the city? I don't think that's possible!"
"Eh~"
Xuanmiao Zhenjun shook his head and refuted confidently:
"Every time our army came to the city, whether it was Qibei Town, Diantu Zhen, or Donghuang Town, we were forced to attack. Did the enemy give us time to prepare? Why is it that we can't do it here?"
Everyone nodded. This was indeed true. War was a life-and-death struggle. Who would give you the chance to adapt?
"Besides, who among you hasn't led troops to charge into the battle? Even if we take turns, it should be Brother Lei Fengzi's turn. Otherwise, how could he, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, hide behind us and watch the scenery?"
"Yeah!"
"That makes sense~"
"That's true."
"That's right, that's right~"
Seeing that Master Xuanmiao easily stirred up the atmosphere, even Yin Jiuchen had no way to refute it.
"This"
Lin Shan, who was standing aside, understood what was going on. It turned out that this guy had bad intentions and was setting a trap for him under the pretext of introducing the battle situation to him!
It turns out that the people of Wudao Sect are not in harmony with me.
However, through a brief observation, he could also see that a considerable number of people on the field were unhappy with him, probably because he had been hiding in the back to reap the benefits.
This guy used his connections to stir up trouble and successfully put himself against everyone with just a few words.
"Haha, what did I think? It turns out it's just a small matter~"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.
Lin Shan smiled and said sincerely:
"I was delayed on the road and missed the opportunity to fight, which made the three armies unable to advance and trapped in this small place. It is really a sin! Now I accept the invitation of Taoist Xuan Miao and solve the urgent problem. It is indeed urgent. Tomorrow I will lead the way and clear the way for you!"
"!!!"
How do you feel about this?
Are we all trash?
It shouldn't be the same with or without you, so how come the coalition forces can't move forward without you?
Master Xuanmiao was stunned, and even the leader of the Wudao Sect was very surprised. They hadn't even started to instigate the opponent yet, but the opponent had already jumped into the pit!
He agreed too readily, and this move of taking the initiative seemed a bit wrong, which made them suspicious.
Yin Jiuchen frowned, thinking that Lin Shan was being roasted on the fire and had to deal with it in this way. He was worried about him and secretly sent a message to ask him.
"Are you sure, fellow Daoist? Donghuang Town is different from the previous two towns. It is the last barrier in the north of Cangluan Royal Court. It has three tribes stationed there. I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Shan's tone was calm and unhurried, giving people a convincing feeling.
"Even if they don't say it, I have the same intention. I haven't sharpened my blade for half a month. Let me test the other party's quality tomorrow!"
It was obvious that Master Xuanmiao and the leader of the Wudao Sect were also communicating with each other, and they immediately took advantage of the situation to press forward, trying to test his bottom line.
"Siege is no joke. It requires the coordination of the three armies, long-range suppression, cover follow-up, and timely support! We can only provide you with a quarter of an hour of routine input at most. If you don't achieve a breakthrough, all the cover support in the rear will be cut off. Don't expect to drag the army into the water at that time."
"Don't worry, I don't need you to save the situation. Just wait and collect the merits behind me."
Lin Shan's arrogance made Xuanmiao Zhenjun's eyes light up. He immediately took over the conversation, fearing that he would go back on his word.
"There is no joking in the army. You said this yourself, my friend!"
"I only have one request. When the city is captured, give me all the barbarian totem poles you have confiscated. Isn't this a small thing to ask for?"
Lin Shan naturally had a purpose for taking the lead. It was impossible for him to work for these people for nothing. His real purpose was to put the conditions on the table in advance, make great contributions, and take the opportunity to plunder the totem poles!
Since the Wu Dao Sect's people had offered him the opportunity, he would gladly accept it. Seeing this, Yin Jiuchen simply agreed immediately:
"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Lei Fengzi can really make the first contribution, not to mention the totem pole, you will also be given population slaves, strategic materials, and fiefdoms!"
"No, I just want the totem pole."
"Uh"
Yin Jiuchen was choked and quickly tried to persuade him:
"Through the previous battles, we have confirmed that the totem poles of the opposing large tribe are all gone. It is unlikely that you will be able to seize this item. At most, you can take some totem poles from a small tribe. That thing is not as good as a magic weapon. What use can it have?"
Lin Shan insisted: "Those from small tribes also count, every one counts, give them all to me!"
Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.
No matter how hard they try, they just can't understand why a totem pole of a small tribe is no different from garbage to a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, so why are they so obsessed with it?
"No, don't you want people and slaves? After you get the fiefdom in the future, they can help you look after the land, extract minerals, manage the territory, and develop your power. They are easy to use and can also help you multiply and grow."
"Need not."
Seeing that Lin Shan refused to listen, Yin Jiuchen shook his head helplessly and simply ignored him.
Master Xuanmiao also had his doubts in his heart, but at this moment the situation had already been decided and it was difficult to change anything. He could only turn his gaze to the leader of the Wudao Sect behind him.
The other party nodded and agreed together with the leader of the Nether Curse Sect.
Anyway, the most urgent task is to capture Donghuang Town and open the door to the Cangluan Royal Court. They are too lazy to study the matter of collecting totems, and maybe Lin Shan has some hobbies.
"That's settled then. We'll wait for Fellow Daoist Lei Fengzi to display his might tomorrow and lead us in a battle!"
At night, everyone dispersed.
Lin Shan was called by the patriarch of the Yin clan. The two of them looked at the outline of Donghuang Town in the night. It was like a crawling prehistoric beast, a thorn in the way forward.
"Tomorrow I will take out the God-breaking Crossbow and Thunder Talisman Cannon from our clan to help you, but it can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. Hundreds of millions of spirit stones are not a small number. This is the limit of what the Yin Clan of Wushan can do."
"Thank you very much."
The two were facing each other at this moment, and their thoughts were completely different.
Yin Jiuchen was skeptical in his heart, but considering the recommendation of the great elder Yin Jiuling, he decided to provide appropriate help and investment to see what Lei Fengzi was capable of.
Lin Shan was not worried about tomorrow's battle at all. He was just thinking about what means to use without revealing too many of his cards.
Suddenly, a green light flashed slightly in another part of the mountain.
"who???"
Yin Jiuchen shouted loudly, and his spiritual sense at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage covered the area instantly, but it was a step too late.
How could someone be secretly spying on me?
Lin Shan said nothing, turned into a flash of lightning and flew away. Nothing could escape his star-piercing eyes, and he caught the opponent's tail in an instant.
A shadow wrapped in a black robe kept changing its position, flying close to the ground among the mountains and forests.
But a flash of lightning came from behind, following like a shadow, blocking the way in less than ten breaths.
"Where to go?"
A huge hand woven from lightning and thunder covered his head. Although it was just an ordinary true essence seal, it was able to trap the black shadow in an instant due to its overwhelming realm and strength!
As the net shrank, the black shadow jumped up and down. It had no way to go up to the sky or into the ground, and it ran left and right but couldn't get out.
He could only watch helplessly as he was caught and tied up!
"What strength do you have? How dare you spy on me?"
Lin Shan lightly grabbed with his five fingers, and the lightning net flew in front of him. A figure appeared inside. It was a middle-aged Yuanying who looked terrified. His whole body was numb and he couldn't muster any strength. The electric shock made his mouth tremble and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Yin Jiuchen, the patriarch of the Yin clan, arrived late. Seeing that Lin Shan easily caught the peeper, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
This burst speed, the lightning element is indeed swift, it is simply beyond the reach of others!
With just one move, he immediately began to take Lin Shan seriously and even began to look forward to tomorrow's battle.
"Fellow Daoist, judging from their attire, they must be members of the Black Lotus Sect. They haven't been seen for a while, but now they come to our camp to spy on us in the middle of the night. Maybe they have some conspiracy."
When the people in the net heard the voice and saw Yin Jiuchen, they became even more panicked.
How could he not recognize the patriarch of the Wushan Yin clan?
Now he had no way to escape and was busy thinking about how to survive.
Lin Shan didn't let him wait too long. After searching his body and taking away the magic storage device, he interrogated him while checking him.
"What's your name? What are you doing here tonight? What's your mission?"
This person was very respectful, responsive, and his answers were clear and to the point. He obviously knew that he was in a bad situation and explained things very consciously.
"My name is Zang Yu. I came to the coalition camp tonight on a whim before leaving. After finding out the general situation, I set out to leave Donghuang Town and return to the Cangluan Royal Court to report to the national teacher."
"Are you planning to leave? By the way, why didn't you take action along the way? Didn't the Black Lotus Cult team up with the barbarians?"
Yin Jiuchen had long been puzzled. The Black Lotus Cult had never appeared, casting a shadow over the coalition forces' hearts, and they were always afraid that the other side was hiding some conspiracy.
Zang Yu was a little embarrassed, but in order to save his life, he still smiled bitterly and said:
"Your army is unstoppable when the three parties join forces. How can I help the barbarians defend the city with just a few of my men? What else can I do except run away?"
"."
Yin Jiuchen didn't expect to hear such a reply.
"You, the Black Lotus Sect, didn't deploy auxiliary forces in the three towns?"
"Yes, but not much, far from enough to turn the tide of the battle."
"But when you launched a counterattack, you defeated the Wu Dao Sect and even pushed them all the way to Qibei Town."
"That was back then. After we helped them gain a foothold, most of my men withdrew from Jiuli. After all, there are so many arrangements on the continent. It's impossible for us to just stay here and guard the house for these barbarians without doing anything, right?"
The Black Lotus Sect has indeed made many arrangements in this world, especially after the gradual rise of the Fairy Qinglian, it is impossible for them to only focus on the Jiuli land, which is only a part of the chessboard.
"Who is the Imperial Master of the Cangluan Royal Court? He seems to be very mysterious and has never taken action. Could he be a high-ranking official in the sect?"
"The Imperial Master is my sect's new Saint, You Mei Ji, who was appointed by the World Honored One to be in charge of all matters concerning the Nine Li."
Lin Shan was checking his storage magic weapon and suddenly raised his head when he heard this!
"Princess Youmei???"
The woman was also holding two fragments of the [Yellow Turban Warrior] from the fairyland, causing the thirty-four pieces in his hand to be delayed in being completed.
Now, I suddenly heard news from an old friend, and I immediately perked up!
