Immortal Road.

"Ok?"

Master Jinglian wants to unite with other holy places to deal with the Black Lotus Sect? This is understandable.

But why would he let his apprentice seek external help?

Look at this guy on Xiongshan Mountain. Is he the kind of guy who can attract foreign aid?

His eyes rolled, and he thought that he still had Youmei Ji in his hands, and maybe she would be able to infiltrate the Black Lotus Sect in the future.

If we go with the large group assembled by Master Jinglian, wouldn't it be more convenient to fish in troubled waters?
"I know about the Black Lotus Sect. It is a cult founded by the reincarnation of the Azure Lotus Fairy from the upper realm. They gather incense and prayer power to revive. Your master, the Pure Lotus Lay Buddhist, is an inspector of the lower realms. His purpose is to capture the criminals."

Xiong Shan was suddenly shocked!

"You know all this?"

Lin Shan curled his lips in disdain, portraying the Holy Land's bad habit of being superior to others vividly. After all, it was not the first time that he pretended to be an envoy of the Holy Land.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself!
"Then let's not waste time. We in the Holy Land are naturally well aware of the origins of your master and disciple! If you didn't have some background, I would not just come to your door to warn you today, but to kill you directly and put an end to it all, wouldn't it?"

"scare!"

The man on Xiongshan was scared like a quail. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he almost had a brush with death.

He immediately knelt down to thank Lin Shan for not killing him.

"Okay, as long as you behave yourself and don't continue to cause trouble in Chu, I won't bother to deal with you anymore. After all, there are so many plans on the continent, and as a high-level official in the Holy Land, I can't take care of them all."

"Ah, yes, yes, you are such a noble man, why would you bother with a nobody like me!"

Master Xiongshan had already learned from the beating he had just received that Lin Shan was a person with great supernatural powers. Naturally, he understood that this was indeed a high-ranking official of the holy land. Although it was a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, and he was puzzled why such a person would come all the way to deal with him, he did not doubt Lin Shan's identity.

He was now filled with another emotion.

Holy Land, these are the top leaders of the Holy Land who are delivered to our doorstep, we must win them over for the master!

To be honest, Master Xiongshan has always felt guilty for not being able to help his master, Master Jinglian.

This time he finally saw the opportunity, and he really wanted to help his master and do his best!
So, Lin Shan didn't try to persuade him afterwards. Master Xiong Shan was very diligent and invited him again and again to deal with the Black Lotus Sect, just like a possessed pug.

Lin Shan didn't want to reveal his flaws, so he had to pretend to refuse impatiently and asked him what benefits he could get from following Master Jinglian to fight against the Black Lotus Sect.
"Benefits? You can discuss this with my master."

Just when Lin Shan thought that the so-called interview was a face-to-face conversation with Master Jinglian, Master Xiong Shan had already taken out a mirror.

The mirror shone brightly, and the face of Master Jinglian appeared in it.

"Xiong'er, why do you call me your master?"

Master Xiong Shan quickly reported to the inside:

"Master, I found a great master from the Holy Land and told him about the harm of the Black Lotus Sect, but my eloquence was limited and I was unable to convince him to join the expedition team, so I contacted you for a personal meeting!"

"Oh? A great master from the Holy Land, you actually met such a person?"

The lay Buddhist Jinglian in the mirror turned around and looked around.

Master Xiong Shan quickly held the mirror in his arms and faced Lin Shan so that the two were face to face.

"Are you a great master from a holy land? I am sorry for making you laugh just now. I don't know which holy land you are from. Maybe I have some connection with you guys."

Lin Shan can now speak calmly to Mr. Jinglian.

"It doesn't matter which holy place it is. What matters is what conditions the layman can offer to impress me!"

This was a very arrogant statement, but Ms. Jinglian was not angry. Instead, she felt it was natural.

Encircling and suppressing the Black Lotus Sect is a risky decision. Once it fails or the news leaks, it will bring immeasurable consequences to itself and the forces behind it. It is normal for the other party to be cautious.

"I can guarantee that in the Black Lotus Sect, all personal gains can be kept exclusively and will not be forcibly distributed. If the Black Lotus Sect is destroyed, all the Taoist friends who participated in it can watch the ascension scene in advance when I return to the immortal world. If you are lucky, you may even be able to temper your body with immortal energy."

Mr. Jinglian leisurely put forward the conditions, and it sounded like a big deal!

Lin Shan originally wanted to bargain, but after hearing what he heard, he couldn't open his mouth at all, because there was no way to bargain!
Watch the ascension and temper the body with immortal energy.

These two things can be said to be unique conditions. No one in this world would dare to say such things, and even if they did, no one would believe it.

But Mr. Jinglian is different!
He was originally an immortal envoy patrolling the upper realm, and was a legitimate immortal.

As long as the Black Lotus Sect can be eradicated, he can ascend back again. At that time, he will just observe and it will be a piece of cake for them.

When one reaches the stage of great supernatural powers or the stage of Yuanshen, who would not be tempted by such exclusive and generous conditions?

Lin Shan realized it all at once.

The number of powerful people that Master Jinglian has attracted is probably more than he imagined!
"Okay, I agree."

He made the decision promptly without any hesitation.

The lay Buddhist Jinglian in the mirror was a little surprised, but still smiled heroically.

"Okay, then we have it settled. However, there is no rush to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Sect. Most of the powerful people in the Holy Land are focusing on the upcoming third round of spiritual tide. They will officially take action after the spiritual tide ends! I will notify you when the time comes, and we will sign the contract before we set off."

"It's a word."

Lin Shan and Mr. Jinglian exchanged a few brief greetings, and the mirror gradually darkened and then returned to its original state.

Master Xiongshan handed him something woven from straw vines and told him that he could use it to receive messages from Master Jinglian.

After checking the enhanced panel, I found that there was no tampering with it and it would not be used for tracking and positioning, so I put it away with confidence.

"Senior, my master has just told me to withdraw from the State of Chu. I will not cause you any more trouble. I will go to the next cultivation world to try my luck."

"it is good."

Lin Shan was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"Oh no, that. Wait!"

The cultivation world next door?
Are you going to cause trouble in Lu again?

"Where are you going?"

"The State of Lu."

Lin Shan’s face turned dark, and I knew it!

This guy is really vicious. He only picks places where I don't get along. Do I have to deal with him again when the time comes?
"Well, since I have just reached a deal with your master, I will kindly remind you that the northern, northeastern, eastern and southeastern parts of Lu State all belong to the sphere of influence of Taixuan Holy Land. You can decide the rest by yourself. Do you understand?"

"Northern Shandong, Northeastern Shandong, Eastern Shandong, Southeast Shandong?"

Master Xiong Shan counted on his fingers and nodded to indicate that he had taken note.

After Lin Shan left.

He immediately summoned all the high-ranking members of the Backer Gang and told them that Xushen Mountain was backed by the Holy Land, so they decided to withdraw from Chu and go to Lu to look for opportunities. After everyone's discussion, since the four regions in the east and north were the sphere of influence of the Holy Land, the four top forces in Lu were deeply rooted in the central region, and the new sect Xun Gu Sect was in the west and northwest of Lu.
Finally, it was decided that the target was the Langhuan Yu Mansion in the southwest and south of Shandong!

When picking persimmons, one should only pick the softest ones. After Lin Shan's "guidance", Xiong Shanshang decided to try his luck in southwest Shandong.

"Oh!"

There was a sound of a door slamming outside the cave, and an old man ran in angrily.

"Boss! Didn't you promise to take me in and take over Xushen Mountain and let me deal with Xujizi? Why didn't you keep your word and lead your men to fight in Lu State?"

When Master Xiongshan looked carefully, he found that it was Master Shennai who had defected from Xushen Mountain.

I immediately had a headache and had to try my best to comfort him.

"Elder Shen Nai is like this. Just now, the strong man from the holy land behind Xushen Mountain came to warn me. Look at the wound on my face. Look at it."

As he spoke, he took off his clothes again, without any hesitation, and showed them to everyone.

Don't look at it, look at it!
Lin Shan hit the child too hard and almost caused him to be reincarnated.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"How can you be so harsh?"

“This is too barbaric!”

"I have some healing pills here, would you like to try?"

Elder Shen Na was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.

Master Xiongshan swallowed all the healing pills and did not exaggerate. Instead, he apologized sincerely and told Elder Shennai that if he wanted revenge, he could let him go and seek other help.

After a heart-to-heart communication, Elder Shennai learned that a person with great supernatural powers had indeed come in person, and it was not Master Xiongshan who staged it himself. He finally had to bow to reality and decided not to bother Xu Jizi anymore.

The man on Xiongshan Mountain waved his hand.

"Pack up and set off immediately!"

Lin Shan first went to Kun Sect, visited Master Huang and others, and then returned to Lu State.

When they arrived at Lujiang Academy, they found that the alien army was attacking fiercely, but Patriarch Lu Que and Mu Yan were as solid as a rock and could not prevent the enemy from making any progress!
After a quick inspection here, he realized that it was a training for his subordinates after all, so he was too lazy to intervene. He left the head of the Yuanlu Demon King and gave it to the ancestor Lu Que, telling him not to rush to replace the head and to wait until this storm was over before doing so.

Ancestor Lu Que was so overjoyed that he held the new deer head in his arms day and night. Especially the six pairs of antlers on the top of the head, they were so beautiful that they almost drove him crazy!

Lin Shan didn't stay long and soon returned to Tianfu Mountain.

Continue to go deeper into seclusion and start boring practice.

The Nascent Soul Path has already reached its peak, and thanks to the return of star power, only the late Soul Infant stage of cultivation remains.

I currently have seven bottles of Nine-Aperture Divine Pills, all of which were collected from Taixuan Holy Land and Danding Holy Land. Theoretically, they are enough to assist in cultivation for a long period of time.

Without soul source, soul cultivation has to rely on one’s own hard work.

Southwest Shandong.

When the smoke cleared, the battlefield was in ruins.

Fan Jingchen, deputy leader of the Lujiang League, walked step by step across the ashes strewn with corpses, looked at the tragic scene of blood flowing like a river, and stood there in silence.

Behind him, the people of the Lujiang League were walking in the blood, some deep and some shallow, with surprise and faint joy on their faces.

The reason is simple. The Langhuan Yu Mansion had been in confrontation for so many years, but it was destroyed overnight!
The palace was defeated and disintegrated by the external forces, and the palace owner, Empress Langhuan, was killed on the spot by Master Xiongshan!

"Empress Langhuan is a remarkable woman, with excellent talent, beauty, and courage. She is a great enemy of our Lujiang League. I didn't expect that she could be killed so easily."

"What a pity! Such a beauty was strangled in the bud before she could show her talent in the Wanhui Year and become a trend-setter in the spiritual tide. Even as an old rival, I feel deeply saddened!"

"Bah, how shameless! You are an old rival, are you worthy? If there is anyone who is truly qualified to sympathize with each other, it is probably our Alliance Leader Fan and Empress Lang Huan who sympathize with each other!"

"Right, right, right. Alliance Leader Fan must be overwhelmed with emotions right now. Your opponent of so many years finally died at the hands of someone else."

When Fan Jingchen heard what the person behind him said, his heart was bleeding with pain, but he had to cooperate on the surface and put on an expression of relief.

He hated Xiong Shanshangren so much. This guy came out for no reason and disrupted the situation. He easily wiped out the Langhuan Yufu, which had established a firm foothold in southwest and southern Shandong and had been deeply rooted for decades, making him look very incompetent.

The key point is that the layout and configuration of the holy land were also broken up, making all his efforts over the years go to waste!
During this period, the Xun Gu Sect grew stronger and stronger, and had taken on the heavy responsibility of governing the two regions of western Shandong and northwestern Shandong alone, keeping the alien race out.

In comparison, the Lujiang League, which originally occupied an important role, is now becoming increasingly insignificant and even has no say.

And now, the great enemy of Langhuan Yu Mansion is gone, and he, as the deputy leader, has no reason to lead his own troops outside.

Lu Xiuming from Xun Gu Sect has received the news and sent a notice, asking him to lead his troops back to the Lujiang River Basin immediately. Troops from all the alliance members should also be transferred to Yunchuan Academy as soon as possible to fight with the aliens.

This is nothing more than an attempt to divide his military power!

Once he reaches Yunqi Cliff, where there will be many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xungu Sect, he will be completely deprived of his status in the Lujiang League.

If you want to turn the situation around by then, it will be too late.

"It seems that we have to take a risky approach."

He pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and shouted to the people of Lujiang League behind him.

"Everyone, now that the Langhuan Yufu has been destroyed, it is time for us to expand our territory. While our backers are helping us suppress the bandits and internal strife, we should quickly seize as much territory as we can."

There are some savvy people among the crowd who have clearly pointed out the risks of doing so.

They had clearly won the victory with great difficulty, but instead of going back to rest, they had to get involved in the quagmire of the dispute with the Kaoshan Gang.

Don’t let something like the Langhuan Yufu come along at that time, wouldn’t there be no peace forever?
However, Fan Jingchen insisted on his own way and was determined to expand the territory!
As a result, the Lujiang League ignored the rear and led their troops to advance further.

When Master Xiongshan found out, he was furious that someone dared to come and steal the fruits of his labor.

So, the two sides finally met.

Ten years later.

Lin Shan was woken up from his retreat by the beeping of his interstellar pager.

Zhang Yunxi's voice came from the other side.

"Friend Lin, I have returned from outer space. The situation is urgent and we don't have much time left. This may be the last time we work together."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. The evil demons from outer space are about to escape from this world and embark on a formal interstellar journey. I don't have time to make good use of this time. You come first, and we will prepare to encircle and suppress the God of Joy before we leave!"
