Immortal Road.

Ancestor Honglian was busy gathering with the monsters, and when he heard that Lin Shan was leaving secretly, he tried to keep him, wanting to take him to stay as a guest of the monster tribe for some time. However, Lin Shan politely declined, saying that he could come back when he had time in the future.

Zhang Yunxi also didn't want to show up in front of the monster, so she prepared to leave with Lin Shan.

Lin Fan and Brother Ji went there happily!

On the one hand, they wanted to eat and drink for free and show off with the ancestor, but the main reason was that they had just offended Penglai. Both the Zixiao Sect and the Peacock Demon Clan were here, and it was not convenient for them to run away after causing a big disaster and ignore the forces behind them.

They all agreed with Lin Shan that they would visit him when they had time.

"I'll wait for you!"

Lin Shan smiled and said goodbye to his two good brothers. Everyone has his own path. It is good enough to meet each other occasionally. Why force themselves to walk the same path?
As the two rainbow lights disappeared into the sky, the eyes of the Guardian Lord surged with green light, and he asked the Red Lotus Patriarch with a little curiosity:

"Who are those two? They are so young but already have great magical powers. They must have extraordinary origins!"

"Haha, they are indeed extraordinary. They don't want to reveal their identities, so let them be."

The Red Lotus Patriarch watched the two go away, then turned around and smiled, pulling Lin Fan and Brother Ji to his side, introducing the two newcomers to the other monsters.

"I was rescued this time thanks to those two little guys. We will inevitably become colleagues in the future. Let's get to know each other!"

All the monsters in Luosong Mountain Range came forward to curry favor with them. It was estimated that for a long time, the two of them would become the most dazzling celebrities in Luosong Mountain Range under the command of Red Lotus Patriarch!
Fairyland, Baofeng Taoist Temple.

An old Taoist with sparse hair on his head was sipping tea and chatting at the Eight Immortals Table. Opposite him was a young man.

This man has a pretty face, gentle as jade, and skin that is more delicate than a woman's. He is dressed in a white robe and looks very weak, but his demeanor is heroic and open.

"Brother Baofeng has had a great event recently. I heard that he was invited by the Twelve Immortals of the Ditan Temple to participate in the Wilderness Discussion of Dao in the Three Thousand Waters. This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!"

"Ahahaha, no way, no way. I'll just be a mascot, hanging below the twelve immortals, representing the Tuo Tuo tribe to support the occasion and listen to the immortals' teachings. How dare I show off?"

"Hey, Brother Daoist, you are too modest! Everyone knows that your clan's Thousand Miasma Grinding Sky Evil is extremely powerful. It once extinguished the Immortal Miasma that was almost growing up. It is comparable to the top supreme magical power and has saved the vast waters nearby from being ravaged. It can be said that your merits are immeasurable!"

"Hey, Brother Zang Yan, you are flattering me. When it comes to supreme magical powers, it's Kunxu Yanshitao from Penglai, which is well-known in the Japanese fairyland. My little temple can't compare to it."

The boys behind him were all sensible and polite, with red strokes on their brows. They held jade trays and drank tea continuously, with green smoke rising from the fairy stove beside them, which was quite poetic.

Talking about the Immortals' Conference recently initiated by the Twelve Immortals of Ditan in the Japanese Fairyland, both of them were invited to participate.

This frail young man represented the Penglai Immortal Sect in the Japanese fairyland. When he passed by Baofeng Temple, he visited his good friend, Taoist Baofeng, and the two happened to travel together.

As they were chatting, he suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Taoist Baofeng noticed something strange and asked with concern what had happened.

The frail young man lowered his brows and pondered for a while, as if recalling something. Then he shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"I was wondering why, but suddenly my soul started to itch. It turned out that the little red lotus demon from the lower world ten thousand years ago had escaped. Haha, interesting."

"Oh? About the underworld?"

Taoist Baofeng was obviously very interested. As a native immortal cultivator, he was inevitably curious about the heavens and all the worlds.

"My brother has ascended to heaven for ten thousand years, and now he has already stood at the top of the human world, and is only one step away from becoming a true immortal! If he hadn't been waiting for the assessment of the Heavenly Palace Jinque Organization and striving for a place in the immortal class, he would have already become a yang spirit inside and outside, and ascended to heaven! You can even remember such a trivial matter from the lower world, can you tell me about it?"

"Hahahaha, these are just past events. When I was in the lower world, I was just playing around and looking at the sky from a narrow perspective. I didn't go to the fairyland, so I didn't know how vast the heaven and earth were, and how infinite the universe was. Thinking about it now makes me laugh."

The frail young man looked around as he recalled those glorious days, but he described them from a different perspective.

"At that time, I led the Penglai Saint Lord in the lower world, who had reached the middle stage of the Yuan Shen. It coincided with the great tide of the myriad worlds in every meeting of the heavens and myriad worlds. The gravity of the void pulled the spiritual energy deep in the core of the world, forming a prosperous era of spiritual energy explosion!"

"Wanhui Year? I understand this. We also have a similar time period in the fairy world."

"Yes, at that time, my sect was located deep in the East China Sea. Because Penglai trees stand out in the forest, other holy places in that world united to contain me. So they all secretly went to the Song Kingdom on the edge of the East China Sea and instigated the sixth-level plant spirit Honglian in the Luosong Mountains to oppose me and restrain me from going out when the spiritual tide erupted."

"With Brother Zang Yan's talent, it is normal for him to be feared by the forces of the entire world!"

"At that time, I was young and full of vigor, and that little Red Lotus demon was not bad either. We were both in the middle stage of the Yuan Shen, so it took a lot of effort to deal with it. If I didn't deal with it, it would block the door and I was stuck. It was a dilemma."

Taoist Baofeng listened with great interest, interjected comments, and asked him how he broke the deadlock.

The boys nearby also listened attentively. It was obvious that they admired the past of this ascended master very much and wanted to learn wisdom from him.

"Later, I took the initiative and went to befriend this monster in person, constantly giving him gifts to gain his favor."

"Brother, are you planning to divide and attack the other side?"

"No, I know very well that if it is not of my kind, its heart must be different! It wants to be on good terms with me today, it is nothing more than me being polite to it. In the future, the courtesy will stop, and the feelings will disappear, it will still block the door of my holy land and act wildly!"

"Yes, that is indeed a profound insight."

"So I took advantage of his arrogance and lured him out of his lair. Then I laid a net, created a special sealing treasure, and gathered the strength of all the disciples in the sect to capture him in one fell swoop!"

"It feels so good! That's how it should be!"

"In fact, I had a way to kill it at that time, but I chose to let it go and suppress it instead. First, I didn't want to completely offend the demon camp in the lower realm. Second, I used it as bait to lure out those sewer rats who were making trouble in secret. Whoever wanted to save me would be killed! I killed five or six waves in total, clearing the way for the future spiritual tide."

"Great! Really brilliant!!!"

Taoist Baofeng clapped his hands in praise, and the many boys behind him secretly rejoiced, just like the male protagonist in a cool novel, feeling extremely happy.

It is not difficult to imagine how high-spirited Zang Yan was in the lower world back then. He competed with various heroes, used intrigues against each other, made friends with those far away and attacked those nearby, and became the biggest winner in the end.

Sing all the way, and even ascend to heaven!

This is a true genius. He is unrivaled in both strength and courage.

If Lin Shan knew the truth of the past was like this, from the perspective of Penglai Saint Lord Zang Yan, it really had nothing to do with right or wrong, but rather it was magnificent!
Of course, from the perspective of Red Lotus Patriarch, there is nothing wrong with calling him a despicable villain, he is just unscrupulous.

If he heard his old enemy, whom he had been thinking about for thousands of years, now call himself the Red Lotus Demon, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood!

"It just broke free of the seal in the underworld and destroyed the Yuan Nian I left behind. Haha, it seems that it holds a grudge~"

The frail young man chuckled leisurely and didn't take it to heart at all.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically. He has traveled all over the fairy world, made friends with all kinds of powerful people, and his knowledge and experience have risen several levels. How could he still look down on the loach that came from the lower world back then?

"Hahahaha, yes."

Taoist Baofeng drank it all in one gulp and immediately forgot about it, just as if it was a brief episode that passed by in a flash.

"Next we have to set off for the Three Thousand Waters. It is said that the Twelve Immortals of Ditan will give a lecture for five hundred years! I am really looking forward to comprehending the laws this time and finding a chance to become an immortal!" "Hahaha, let's go together and encourage each other."

Leaving the Larch Mountains, on the way back.

Lin Shan and Zhang Yunxi flew the rainbow side by side. Both of them were immersed in the experiences of the past two days and did not communicate much. It was not until they flew over most of the Song Kingdom and arrived in the Yan Kingdom that they were ready to part ways.

"Let's stop here. I have to go to the west of the continent next. I won't see you off."

"Okay, if you need anything in the future, use the pager to contact me."

Zhang Yunxi looked him up and down with a look that seemed to have some deep meaning.

"Tell me the truth, what method did you use to break the seal for Red Lotus Patriarch?"

"Tongtian Lingbao."

Lin Shan did not hide it from her. Even if he didn't say it, the girl would probably have guessed it. They were all family, so there was no need to hide anything.

"I knew it."

She took a deep breath.

"You have the Tongtian Lingbao, the Yellow Turban Warrior puppet from before, and the Northern Division Crossbow Cart. These three treasures are enough to rival the Yuanshen!"

"Once I have finished dealing with things in the west, we can start hunting down the God of Joy."

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer, we must do it before the third round of spiritual tide erupts."

"You know, I don't have much time left."

Lin Shan nodded. He understood what she meant by the fact that time was running out. He still felt that returning to the Milky Way was a bit of a dream, like a fairy tale. He could not make up his mind to go with them. However, he was a little confused.

"In that case, why not go now?"

He is not too busy now, but he is worried that in the next twenty years, at the end of the Jiazi year, the major holy places will set up layouts all over the continent, and he will have to hurry back to Lu to defend his home.

The previous Taixuan Holy Land, Guigu Holy Land and the Kongsanghai alien tribe have already shown some obvious signs of intervention.

But Zhang Yunxi shook her head.

"I have more important things to do, preparing for what's to come."

"Both my Void Battleship and your Tongtian Lingbao lack driving energy. Without them, it will be very difficult to deal with Yuanshen!"

"We are going to the western part of the continent to pass through the space nodes we left behind and find the Zeta Fleet, the alien evil demon fleet, so-called in this world, to find more star modules from them!"

The sixth-level spirit crystal ore mother is sold out, and we really need replacement crystals. According to the energy level, immortal magic weapons, puppets, and star element modules can also be used.

Lin Shan asked her if she needed help, and if so, he could accompany her.

"No need, I can handle it by myself, you just need to improve yourself."

The two agreed to meet next time and then parted ways.

Watching the other party get up and leave, Lin Shan sighed with a little melancholy, knowing that they would be together less and less every day, but he did not stop to linger, and returned northward.

When passing through Kaiyuan Realm Wanxiang City.

He resisted the urge to go in and rip off the stall, Huitongbao was such a rip-off!

Before going to the land of Jiuli, I spent a lot of money to buy intelligence, but when I got to the actual site, it was completely different. In particular, there was no introduction at all about the background of the Black Lotus Sect's Phantom Princess moving into the Cangluan Royal Court and the Witch Clan's High Priest eyeing her covetously!
If he was still in the ordinary Nascent Soul stage and had not become a person with great supernatural powers, he would definitely fail!
However, if I go in and make a scene now, wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing my identity?

Tell everyone that the great master who suppressed Jiuli was actually you?
"Keep a low profile. We'll have to settle this account sooner or later, but not now!"

Lin Shan had no intention of letting go of the profiteer who sold expired information. He was not afraid of Huitongbaohao, but mainly because he did not want his identity to be known by the Black Lotus Sect and the Penglai Holy Land.

But since he was already here, he decided to give it a try and stepped into the door of the Tianji Tower next door.

"What kind of information do you plan to buy, fellow Taoist?"

Tianji Tower and Huitongbaohao are right next to each other. It is said that there is actually a big boss in secret, but this whole street is full of intelligence business. In short, it’s all the same. He picked a bigger storefront to try his luck.

"I need you to help me find someone's whereabouts."

Lin Shan used the Zodiac Spirit Cloud to cover his face, and used the Virtual Star Plate to cover his aura. At this moment, his face was hazy and could not be seen clearly, but there were many such people in Vientiane City, especially those who came to buy intelligence and did not want to reveal their true colors.

He was then invited into a private room and given general information about his subordinate, Ke Jiezi.

The other side's manager invited him to take a seat and made him some tea. He whispered something like "wait a moment" and then left. He was probably looking through files collected from various places.

About half an hour later.

squeak~
The door opened and an old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses came in.

"Fellow Daoist, here is the information of the person you are looking for. The price is an ancient treasure."

Lin Shan secretly cursed these people in his heart for being pure profiteers. They resold the information at such a high price and were really good at getting something for nothing. How much would their annual operating turnover be?

However, he had just killed and robbed people in the Jiuli land and the red maple forest, especially killing two powerful masters, and his net worth had skyrocketed again. A mere ancient treasure was nothing to him.

He just took out one item at random as an exchange and got the relevant information about Ke Ji Zi on the mainland.

The news heard before was not much different from what we heard from the Yin Clan in Wushan. However, after a brief appearance in the Cangluan Royal Court, it unexpectedly reappeared with a group of people from the Black Lotus Sect a few months ago, located in the Yinfeng Demon Cave in the southwest of the continent!
Ok?
Lin Shan instantly lost his composure. This Ke Jizi was really good at running around. How did he get involved with the Black Lotus Sect again?

Judging from the description in the intelligence, this guy seems to have blended in and become a part of it.

As for how he got in, it seemed to be connected to the period in the Cangluan Royal Court not long ago.

Thinking of this, his mind sank directly into the Star Mansion and asked the imprisoned Youmei Ji, and placed the appearance of Ke Jiezi in front of him.

"Do you know this person?"

Unexpectedly, Youmeiji recognized it at the first sight!

"Isn't this Ke Jizi? I personally recruited him into the Black Lotus Sect. I saw that he was very suitable for finding the power of faith, so I specially recommended him to the headquarters for further studies.

Why, you have feelings for him too?"
