Immortal Road.

Lin Shan was slightly surprised.

It turned out that Ke Jizi was recommended by You Mei Ji herself and sent to the Black Lotus Sect headquarters for further studies. No wonder I was a step late and didn't meet him in the Jiuli land.

It seems that there is a divine will in all things.

"Where is the Black Lotus Cult headquarters?"

"Why, Master Lin is so brave that he dares to face the Buddha directly?"

Youmeiji chuckled and spoke frankly.

"If you really want to go, I can take you with me. Even with your talent and ability, if you rejoin the Black Lotus Sect, you will definitely be entrusted with important tasks by the Buddha!"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'm just asking."

"There is no fixed address. Wherever the Buddha settles down is the headquarters. This Jiazi is the Yunlian Pond in Laiguo in the western part of the continent. I don't know what the next Jiazi will be."

Lin Shan nodded silently and exited the Star Mansion space.

According to the information provided by Tianji Tower, the place where Ke Jizi appeared was indeed in Lai State, so it made sense.

It seems that this old guy probably has his own ideas, so let him be.

He left Wanxiang City and headed north back to Lu State.

a few days later.

Two groups of messengers from the Xun Gu Sect have been waiting for a long time.

"Master Lin, this is a secret letter from our Xushen Mountain's Great Elder. Please check it."

"Military Advisor Lin, this is a bamboo slip sent to you by our king. You must open it in person."

Lu Xiuming asked the two groups of messengers to wait quietly and presented the token.

After Lin Shan looked at them one by one, he rubbed his brows with a headache. Wanhuinian was really a turbulent time, and he had no time to rest for a moment!
He just got back and there was a mess somewhere else.

He also recognized the two groups of envoys below. One was Ji Wangzi from Xu Shen Mountain in the Chu State, and the other was the master of the ape cave under the command of Kuihu Demon King in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff.

Ji Wangzi delivered the letter on behalf of his master Xu Jizi, which said that ever since the battle in the Fallen Demon Valley ended more than ten years ago, all members of Luwu Peak returned to Xushen Mountain, and began to fight openly and secretly with the remaining peaks of the sects that had returned or stayed behind!

After many intrigues, alliances and coalitions, he finally lived up to expectations and took control of this top-notch sect of the demon world.

It is said that in order to become the grand elder, the four masters and apprentices teamed up to secretly kill an opposing Yuanying elder, and even cleansed several lineages, causing a bloody storm!
But now the overall situation has been decided, and Xushen Mountain has become their place of final say.

Luwu Peak has transformed from the fifth meridian to the first meridian, which is considered a remarkable achievement.

However, recently, a force called Kaoshan Gang suddenly emerged in the territory of Chu State. They actually took the lead in attacking and wantonly encroaching on the territory of Chu State.

The other side was just a motley crowd at the beginning, and Xu Jizi was busy fighting among himself to consolidate his power, so he didn't take it seriously as he couldn't get away. But they became stronger and stronger, growing like a snowball. When he felt that something was wrong and wanted to restrict and suppress them, he found it was too late!
Not only did the other party drive away their envoys, they also threatened to divide the State of Chu into three parts with the Kaoshan Gang, Xushen Mountain, and Kun Sect!
Xu Jizi thought of many ways, but couldn't figure it out, so he had to find Lin Shantou.

"So, you came to me just for this little thing?"

Ji Wangzi lowered his head, not daring to look into the deep eyes of the Xun Gu Sect Leader. Even if the other party did not release any pressure, he felt like a thorn in his side!
Lin Shan looked unhappy.

The reason why Xu Jizi was not killed at the beginning was that he felt that the matter had passed and it was a good opportunity to make the next move and secretly control the Chu State's cultivation world.

Later, I was busy with the great master and the rescue of the Red Lotus Ancestor and had no time to take care of it. Who knew that such a thing would happen now.

Failure to supervise and allow grassroots forces to rise is their dereliction of duty, and yet they have the nerve to come to their door and lick their hands. How shameful!

"You are a top sect after all. The other party has risen in a short period of time, so their foundation must be shallow. How can you be helpless?"

Ji Wangzi answered tremblingly.

"Master, although the other party is not as strong as us, their leader has a high level of cultivation and is surrounded by many Yuanying stage masters. We fought against them and were defeated miserably. We have no choice but to come and trouble you."

"A lot of Nascent Souls?"

Lin Shan was stunned.

Even though this realm is nothing to him now, compared with the cultivation world of a country, it can be regarded as the top combat power!

Ten thousand years ago, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the surrounding countries were all well-known and top masters, and were household names in the world of cultivation.

Now, because of the spiritual tide, all kinds of ruffians have risen up and everything is in chaos.

"It is said that the leader of the other side's Kaoshan Gang, Master Xiongshan, had established a territory in Chu State when he was in the Jindan stage before, but was later expelled."

"Now they are making a comeback, borrowing troops from nowhere, and threatening to take back everything they lost!"

"We tried to unite with the Kun Sect in Chudongnan, but they looked down on us and squeezed our already compressed living space."

"Wait, Mr. Bear Mountain?!"

Lin Shan suddenly heard an acquaintance's name and quickly waved his hand to stop him from speaking any further.

Back then, Master Xiong Shan was in the southeast of Chu and almost made a career of his own. However, after he was captured and recruited by me, he suddenly disappeared one night.

He only thought that this person was a disciple of Mr. Jinglian, so he ignored him and let him go.

And now, after such a long time, it appears again!

What's going on?

It was originally called the Wild Bear Gang, and now it’s called the Backer Gang. What backer have they found?

Did Master Jinglian give some instructions, or did this person act on his own?

After thinking for a moment, he felt that it would be a bit of an overreaction for him to go and deal with the matter personally given his current status. At the same time, he also didn't want to have too much interaction with Mr. Jinglian.

At the moment, his main task is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between Fairy Qinglian and Buddhist Master Jinglian, while he develops himself secretly.

If I had enough time, I would really like to see what that guy is up to, but I really don't have the time now.

"How about this, I will write a letter immediately and pass it on to the Kun Sect. It just so happens that I have some friendship with the leader of the sect. When the time comes, if you two families unite, it will not be difficult to resist the people from Xiongshan."

"But the Kun Sect rejected us again and again."

"It's okay. I'll take care of it."

Ji Wangzi looked up in surprise. He didn't expect that Xun Gu Sect Master had such a relationship! If they could really persuade Kun Sect to unite, they could indeed stabilize the situation in Chu State.

After making the promise, Ji Wangzi took the token and the letter, said goodbye and returned in a hurry. He could finally go back to report.

Lin Shan looked at his receding back and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The Yuanying stage cultivators of Luwu Peak are all unworthy of being trained. If the main force of Xushen Mountain had not suffered heavy losses in the Fallen Demon Valley, how could they have gotten the chance to hold power?

Never mind, I'll help if I can. After all, the State of Chu is so close, and stabilizing the situation is very necessary.

Next he looked at the other messenger.

This is the patriarch of the ape tribe in the forbidden land of the cliff. Because his size has shrunk and he is closer to humans, he was sent to the human cultivation world by the demon king Kuihu to ask for help!
Here’s how it went:

It turned out that not long after he came out of seclusion, the Yuanlu Demon King in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff also came out at the same time. Not only did he break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, he also stimulated his true spirit bloodline and became a great master of the demon clan!
This news shook the forbidden area of ​​the cliff, and all the monsters inside were trembling with fear, sensing that things were about to change. As expected!

The first stop of the Yuanlu Demon King was to walk out of the forbidden area and visit the powerful demon spirit Master Zuowu in the Star-Swallowing Mountains outside.

After some unknown communication, Venerable Zouwu agreed not to interfere in the affairs of the forbidden area on the cliff, which was equivalent to agreeing to stand idly by.

After all, the forbidden area of ​​the cliff is the inland area of ​​the Star-Swallowing Mountains. If you want to make any big moves, you still have to ask this person for permission, not to mention that it is rumored that Venerable Zou Wu and Venerable Kuisang once had some friendship.

Fortunately, the Yuanlu Demon King had two strategists under his command who were eloquent and silver-tongued. With their eloquent tongues, they successfully persuaded the other party and resolved the external concerns.

This great demon was quite considerate, and specifically informed the Demon King Kuihu and the Venerable Kuisang in the southern part of the forbidden area of ​​this matter, saying that friendship was friendship, and if they failed in the battle for supremacy in the forbidden area, they could come to the Star-Swallowing Mountains to seek refuge.

It can be considered that a good demon has done his best.

However, when it comes to the battle within the forbidden area, both sides will rely on their own abilities and seek external assistance from each other. The old man will not take sides.

This really scared the demon king Kuihu!

Outsiders don’t know that Venerable Kuisang is just a figurehead. He may be able to scare monsters, but if he is really allowed to fight, how can he possibly be a match for a powerful person?

Don’t let him not be able to hold out for one round, otherwise he will become a fish on the chopping board!
Seeing that the Yuanlu Demon King had obtained the approval of Venerable Zuowu not to interfere, he then visited the major demon kings in the Swallowing Star Mountains one by one, seeking support and borrowing troops from everywhere, in preparation for the cause of unification.

The demon king Kuihu felt the urgency and hurried out to look for allies in the same camp.

Although Lin Shan is a human, he once served as a military advisor and was considered a very good friend of it. The two helped each other. Last time, when it came to the mystery of the great supernatural being, he went to the forbidden area on the cliff to ask Old Sang for advice.

It is neither reasonable nor moral to refuse this request for help.

"okay, I get it."

The fact that the Yuanlu Demon King became a person with great supernatural powers was indeed a bit sudden for him, and he was not prepared at all!

Because the demon race has a long lifespan, their cultivation is also relatively slow. It would take several hundred years to reach a small realm.

Even if the other party has true spiritual bloodline, it is not so easy to go from the middle Nascent Soul stage to the late Nascent Soul stage, and from the late Nascent Soul stage to a person with great supernatural powers in one step.

Now his cultivation level has suddenly surpassed that of the Demon King Kuihu, and he is even superior to him. This is really unexpected.

Looking at what is written in the letter brought by the demon envoy below, the Kuihu Demon King was on pins and needles the whole day, fearing that the Yuanlu Demon King would lead his armies to attack him. The torment of waiting can be imagined.

Lin Shan roughly counted on his fingers and found that more than half of this cycle of sixty years had passed and was about to enter the last twenty years. The third round of spiritual tide preheating was about to come. It seemed that there was still enough time to go to the cliff forbidden area to serve as the fire captain.

It’s a good opportunity to meet the Yuanlu Demon King, a powerful demon king, and see what the difference is between him and humans!
After simply instructing Lu Xiuming to guard the house, he did not stay for a few days and hurriedly left with the demon envoy, rushing towards the Star-Swallowing Mountains in northeastern Shandong.

The forbidden area on the cliff is Hongyaye.

Tens of thousands of demon troops were lined up, roaring and training with great momentum. They were all elite troops who had been tempered in blood and fire over the years.

There is a high platform on the grassland behind me.

Many fifth-level demon kings were sitting on it. In front of the chopping board were various kinds of fruits, spiritual herbs, and aged spiritual wine. A closer look revealed that they were all herbivorous demons.

The Yuanlu Demon King was slightly tipsy and raised his glass to review the troops, intending to demonstrate his martial virtues and show his power. He asked the demon kings below for their comments.

"As you all have seen, are my troops strong and powerful?"

The demons praised and applauded.

"He is indeed the strongest soldier in the world. I cannot compare to him!"

"Brother Yuanlu's army is truly powerful, disciplined and vigilant, and the demonic aura is overwhelming. I dare to ask who in the world can rival it?"

"Oh my, we can tell from just these two battle formations that the army's spirit is condensed and the soldiers are full of killing intent. If we really fight, I'm afraid those useless guys in my family won't be able to hold out for even one round!"

"This level of military formation attainment is comparable to the Ghost Valley Holy Land of mankind, right?"

Faced with the flattery of the demon kings, the Yuanlu Demon King had a smile on his face, but was extremely humble.

"Oh, no, no, my ability is just like showing off my skills in front of you. Otherwise, why would I invite you all to come here from thousands of miles away?"

"To be honest, I have to thank everyone here for their support. When I dominate the Forbidden Cliff Land in the future, I will definitely lead everyone to enjoy the third round of the Wanhui Year Spiritual Tide!"

"This military parade is the opening ceremony. Next, we will march southwards with unstoppable force to unify the southern part of the forbidden land and fulfill our long-cherished wish!"

"Done!"

It raised the jar and drank it all.

The many demon kings below the stage also shouted loudly and gulped down the drink. They drank it all up and no one dared to leave any.

When the Yuanlu Demon King was young, they were extremely arrogant. Although they acknowledged the true spirit bloodline on the surface, they were actually jealous and disgusted.

But now that the other party has become a rising star of the demon clan with great magical powers, they immediately changed their faces and turned into bootlickers. They understood what the other party meant with just one look and all wanted to get close to him.

With just a wave of his hand, the people of the Star-Swallowing Mountains responded!

This time the lineup is not small. These demon kings have arrived in advance, and their armies are still behind, and will gradually come to Hongyaya to meet up.

At that time, it will be the day to declare war on the Kuihu Demon King!
Logically speaking, there is a sixth-level great demon, Venerable Kuisang, over there, and it would be a bit hasty for them to take sides in such a hurry when the battle situation is unclear before the battle starts, but in fact, these demon kings are very shrewd.

They are betting that the future of the Yuanlu Demon King will definitely surpass that of the old antique Venerable Kuisang.

Therefore, all the monsters that can come here understand one thing: winning or losing is not important, what is important is to follow the dragon in times of need, which is the so-called merit of following the dragon.

When talking about the well-organized battle formation of the Yuanlu Demon King's army, someone on the stage suddenly burst into tears!
Two human military advisors stepped forward from the side:

"My king, why is this so?"

The Yuanlu Demon King's eyes were wet with tears as he looked up at the sky.

"I am now where I am today thanks to all of you. But when I think about Mr. Bei not being able to be here, it is a real regret in my life, and I can't help but feel sad."

The two of them couldn't help but burst into tears when they heard this.

"Mr. Bei's spirit in heaven will surely see us succeed and live up to your trust!"

“Woooooooo~~~”

The demon kings in the audience were all dumbfounded. They didn't know what was going on. Why did they become sentimental while drinking? Why did they start crying without any warning?
However, the life of a monster is like a play, which depends entirely on acting skills. Everyone immediately responded by crying, covering their faces with their sleeves, mourning the unknown Mr. Bei.

The two humans secretly glanced and watched to see who dared not to cry. They would secretly write down the names of those who were disobedient or troublemakers in their little notebooks and would definitely find a chance to make things difficult for them.

"My lord, we have recently found out in the human cultivation world that the murderer who killed Mr. Bei has finally appeared and found him!"

"Oh? You mean Qianbu? Where is that dog?"

When the Yuanlu Demon King heard the name, he gritted his teeth and wished he could tear the main culprit to pieces and ravage him.

"It is said that he entered the Guigu Holy Land and was given an important position."
