Immortal Road.

In the deep palace, two rows of bottomless bronze pillars stretched out, casting a long shadow in the faint firelight.

Deep in the corridor, a woman stood quietly with her back to him.

"Master Imperial Master, there is a report of battle coming from the front line."

"speak!"

The cold echo echoed in the palace for a long time. The person who came in bent down, glanced at the big red robe embroidered with black lotus in front of him, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look.

"The three towns of Qibei, Diantu, and Donghuang have fallen, the three marshals have been beheaded, the army has suffered heavy losses, less than 30% have escaped, the human alliance has shown signs of approaching the royal court."

"Oh? Donghuang Town was also breached?"

The woman turned around, her face couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, her seductive and hot body was wrapped in a robe, and her tone revealed surprise.

"The three marshals have joined forces, and Donghuang Town is a thousand-year-old stronghold. How can the human race break through?"

"It is said that an outsider appeared in the opposing camp, who killed three people with his bare hands without any effort, and he is suspected to be a physical cultivator in the Yuanshen stage."

"Physical cultivation in the Yuanshen stage, humph!"

Youmei Ji sneered, as if she had heard something absurd.

"You mean, the other party has a Yuanshen stage cultivator who attacked openly?"

"No, it seems that he is only in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he has the physical strength to crush the Nascent Soul stage."

"Nascent Soul Realm, Primordial Spirit and Flesh Body"

She muttered a few words, the air around her became heavy, but the corners of her mouth curled up for no reason.

"Anyone who can master the body-building techniques of the Yuanshen Stage is most likely a person with great magical powers. How could it be possible that he is just an individual cultivator?"

"Could it be."

"The three human clans have found a great master as their backer?"

The man in black below didn't dare to say anything, he just stood there quietly with his body bent, not moving.

Youmeiji paced slowly back and forth a few times and pondered for a while.

"No wonder you dared to move the Cangluan Royal Court. You knew my sect was here, but you still dared to touch the tiger's whiskers. So that's how it is. Don't report it to the Chieftain yet. By the way, has this matter become a big deal now?"

The people below answered:

"It's already a hot topic. The three major tribes have suffered heavy losses. The young and strong have almost been drained out, leaving only the old, weak and sick. This has caused widespread concern among the barbarians. If you want to hide it from the chieftain, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter."

Thinking that public opinion was getting more and more heated and dissatisfaction with the Black Lotus Sect was probably growing day by day, she decided to speed up the process.

"I will keep it a secret from the Chieftain. You lead everyone in the church to guard the palace. No one is allowed to come in under any name. Ensure that the inside and outside of the palace are completely isolated. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands!"

"Also, regarding the collection of totem poles from various small tribes, we need to speed up the process. For those who disobey discipline, you can use tough measures, such as forcing or robbing them. Get them as soon as possible, without delay!"

"As ordered."

This person was just about to go down, but when he thought about the situation outside, he couldn't help but worry and ask for instructions.

"If the humans in the north attack, how should we respond?"

"Draw troops from the six southern towns and send them to Beijing to defend the king. This will be a great opportunity for me to collect all the totems of their subordinate tribes. Isn't this a godsend?"

Youmei Ji figured out the connection, which gave her an excuse to recruit soldiers to the capital. Then she would see if these natives dared to disobey her orders.

As long as the King Chief doesn't show up, the Black Lotus Sect that she runs has the final say in the royal court!
After all, as the national teacher now, he can be said to have absolute power!
"I'll do it right away."

As the footsteps faded away, she was the only one left in the huge palace. She thought quietly for a while, then pushed open the wall at the end of the palace and walked in.

Inside, amidst the smoke, an old barbarian was vaguely sitting cross-legged, motionless.
"What??? Summon the troops from the six towns to defend the king!"

"Are you crazy? What is Youmeiji doing?"

"Hush~ Be careful with your words. She is now the Imperial Master, and her people are everywhere in the royal court."

"But this is too absurd. What if the border is empty and the Wu people invade?"

"Well, that being said, who dares to disobey her orders?"

After hearing this, many barbarian nobles in the royal court could not help but gasp and were almost frightened. They quickly wrote a letter requesting an audience with the King to revoke the order.

But I can’t get into the palace at all!
The place is guarded by disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, like an iron barrel, impregnable. The national teacher, Princess Youmei, is there all year round, and the place is blocked inside and out. These indigenous nobles can't contact the chieftain no matter how hard they try.

The key is that on the vast front line in the south, the Wu Clan has been recuperating for three thousand years and has gradually shown signs of recovery. They often harass Zhongli at every turn, and are more ferocious than the northern humans in the past. Otherwise, there would be no need for the troops of the Six Towns to be on guard!
To withdraw all of them now would be equivalent to giving up six important passes. Who could bear this?
"A woman in power, managing the country, is so short-sighted and careless about the future. The great cause of our clan may be destroyed in an instant."

"Yes, the witch race is far more terrifying than the human race. If we do this, we will completely lose our strategic barrier and be trapped in a cage forever!"

"The royal court clearly still has the most elite Tiger Guards, which are enough to suppress all the evil spirits. Why would they destroy all the arrangements at the border?"

"I guess this woman is trying to lure the border troops into the royal court and then confiscate all the totems of their affiliated tribes."

There were many wise men among the barbarians who saw through Youmei Ji's conspiracy at one stroke, and they were all gnashing with hatred.

What’s even more hateful is that the Chief has done nothing at all. He hasn’t shown up for ten years. He lives deep in the palace, completely ignoring worldly affairs, as if he had abandoned his people!

The leader of the Tiger Guard is also a stubborn man. He controls the strongest military force among the barbarians today. He is not allowed to think for himself and can only obey the orders issued by the palace. This was the iron rule of our ancestors, and it has been continued to this day to ensure the stability of the imperial power.

But there has to be a workaround, right?

Didn't you see that the Black Lotus Cult had infiltrated the country and a foreign woman was in power? And you still became her running dog?
When Youmei Ji first became the national teacher, none of the nobles in the royal court obeyed her. Later, this woman used the handwritten order left by the chieftain before he went into seclusion to urge the Tiger Guards to carry out a large-scale purge, slaughtering dozens of nobles in the royal court!

This is like killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and no one dares to sing a different tune anymore.

Now this woman has summoned troops from all over the world to serve the king, disregarding the fate of the barbarians, and finally completely ignited the anger in their hearts!

They had been living a mediocre life in the past and just endured it.

Now that I can no longer tolerate it, I naturally have to find a way to resist!
"Everyone, since the matter of serving the king has been decided, why not use this opportunity to purge the emperor's side!"

"Oh? How do you clear the court of evil?"

"Tell me quickly~"

"How sure are you?"

Everyone's eyes lit up as they gathered together. Outside, the loyal servants guarded the door to prevent the news from leaking out.

"We secretly contacted the marshals of the Six Garrisons halfway through the journey, and explained the pros and cons, as well as the safety of the tribe. I believe they all understand the righteousness, feel the same way, and join us in the righteous cause!"

“When the time comes and the enemy is at the gates of the city, the six armies will not move, but will turn their spearheads and charge into the palace, beheading the evil cult witch Youmeiji and displaying her head to the public, thus restoring order to the world!”

"Then we can instigate the Tiger Guards to rebel, and together we can wipe out the human coalition coming from the north, recapture the three northern towns, and then go south to clean up the mess." "This is a brilliant plan! I think it has great potential."

"That's right. I have long speculated whether the evil woman imprisoned the chieftain. For this Jingnan Rebellion, why not use the slogan: Expel the evil cult and rescue the chieftain!

how is it? "

"Hahaha, good!"

"That's it."

The nobles were discussing the matter heatedly. They rolled up their sleeves and vied with each other to be the insiders and to welcome the troops from the six garrisons into the city.

"I have an old relationship with the Marshal of Yumen Town, so you can leave this person to me without any worries."

“I have a cousin with the Marshal of Longyuan Town, and this person can send my brother-in-law to persuade him!”

"I am a life-and-death friend of the Marshal of Tiexue Town. As long as I write a letter, he will raise his troops to respond!"

"The Marshal of Feiying Town and I have a close relationship. I will do whatever you ask for!"

"."

Little did they know that on the roof, there was an undetectable bird hiding in a hole in the eaves, its eyes darting around and watching every move of everyone inside.

Two days later.

The three major coalition armies of the human race marched day and night and arrived at the Cangluan King City!
After a night's rest, they set up their formation the next day.

Looking at the tall and ancient city wall in front of me, a feeling of vastness and heaviness comes over me, like a sleeping dragon, bringing people tremendous mental oppression.

The pitch-black basalt reflected the light, and rows of small holes were filled with densely packed crossbow racks, and the battlements above were filled with black gun muzzles.

Large flags fluttered in the wind, with the word "king" and tiger patterns embroidered on them.

"Brother Dao, these are the personal soldiers of the Barbarian King, the Tiger Guards of the Royal City. It is said that they are extremely powerful and were the vanguards that attacked the Holy Land of the Witch Tribe! Now that so much time has passed, I wonder how much of their bravery they have inherited."

Yin Jiuchen, the leader of the Mingzhu Sect, and the leader of the Wudao Sect surrounded Lin Shan. Looking at the city, they felt they had no idea where to start.

Outside the city, copper pillars with barbarian patterns were inserted into the ground, forming circles of light paths and forming an impenetrable formation.

Further down the river, there is a moat with turbulent waves. You can see groups of giant scaly tails flapping their wings on the surface of the river, but no one knows what kind of creatures they are.

Behind the moat are antler fences, caltrops, tripwires, spikes, etc. There are also suspended sentry towers, arrow towers, and artillery platforms in the air, with clear layers and staggered rotation around the city wall.
Especially that huge disc in the sky!

The circles of barbarian cloud patterns made people dizzy. The edges overflowed and poured down like a curtain of water, covering the entire city, giving people an overwhelming sense of security.

"Xiao Xin, can you find out the weakness of the opponent's formation?"

Lin Shan secretly asked the spirit of the Xuxing Disk and received an ambiguous reply.

Obviously, the city defense formation of the Cangluan Royal Court is not just at the fifth level. After all, it had the ability to destroy the holy land back then!
Even though it is not as good as before, the legacy of the predecessors cannot be underestimated, and it is not something he can easily understand.

Even if you can find the weak point, if you don't use your real ability, ordinary means will not be able to break it!
The humans were also working together to discuss how to attack the city, but they no longer had the confidence they had when they set out, and many of them backed out before the battle even started when they arrived at the scene.

If Lin Shan hadn't been there, they would probably have turned around and ran away!

After the last battle in Donghuang Town, the leaders of their three alliances all began to wonder whether Lin Shan might be a great master of the human race!
After all, apart from this, it was too magical to think that one could easily fight three people alone and crush the peak Nascent Soul stage without relying on magic weapons and supernatural powers. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was almost certain, so I decided to follow him and give it a try.

Now that the enemy is at the gates, everyone is counting on him and waiting for his decision.

Lin Shan's eyes were filled with stars as he looked towards the tower above the main gate. There was a pair of familiar eyes there, also looking at this side.

He knew the woman's name:

Phantom princess!
The last time they parted in the Vimalo Desert, he personally killed the godmother Shi Luoyu and the leader Gu Hun, leaving only Youmei Ji who disappeared.

The most important thing is to take away the fragments of the two Yellow Turban warriors.

To be honest, compared to the Northern Division's crossbow cart, the Yuanshen stage puppet produced by the fairy world, assuming that both consume one sixth-level spirit crystal, is definitely more cost-effective!
He has been envious for a long time!

Because he didn't gather them all at the beginning, he could only use the Northern Master Crossbow Cart continuously in the Fallen Demon Valley, consuming a sixth-level spirit crystal each time to condense a crossbow arrow, resulting in the final effect being not very ideal.

This time when he saw Youmei Ji, he was determined to get both the Yellow Turban Warrior fragment and the totem pole!

However, the problem now lies in how to break the city defense formation first.

As long as the formation remains intact, the army outside will not be able to attack and can only stare at the people inside and stand outside the city stupidly.

"Wait for a moment, I'll go forward and look for any flaws."

Everyone did as they were told and did not move, and the three armies followed the order.

Lin Shan flew into the sky alone and began to explore the barbarian formation bit by bit.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and no one came out to stop them, nor did anyone take any remote action, nor did anyone provoke him. Everyone just looked at him.

He touched it left and knocked it right, trying every suspicious place.

After thinking for a long time, he returned to the camp and waved back.

"withdraw troops!"

late at night.

He was outside the city again.

After investigating during the day, he realized that the current level of the weapon spirit Xiaoxin was no longer enough to help him break the formation simply and effectively, so he decided to use other tricks.

Looking at the great magical seed deep in the soul, it has become full from shriveled, and the data on the strengthening panel shows:

The current misfortune value of Misfortune Siphon has reached 100!

However, since it reached level 100, it has never gone up again. Lin Shan had pondered over this for a long time. If the disaster power requires energy from the disaster star, the transmission and storage of the misfortune value might be linked to one's current luck, fate, and cultivation.

Now the pillar of luck above his head seemed to be full, and he felt as if he was holding up a long, thick water pipe. He guessed that this was his limit.

But if he wants to break through his luck, he currently has no idea how to start.

Fortunately, the first and second forms of this magical power are sufficient, so he decided to test it out in Cangluan King City!

Anyway, he is not of my race, so there is no need to restrict me.

There are exactly 100 points of misfortune value, and I will activate them all at once to see how powerful the second form is!

He stood in the air, looking at the huge royal city beneath his feet, stretched out his hand, and slowly pressed down.

Gentle whirlpools of wind gathered together and swirled from all directions into his palm. The evil wind expanded into a three-meter-high vortex. The world within a hundred miles boiled in an instant, and an indescribable charm spread across the world.

"Aura of Doom!"
