Immortal Road.

Liang Maizhu then talked about the current situation and conditions in Lu State, which have basically begun to take shape.

The Guigu Holy Land is in the west, and the Taixuan Holy Land is in the east.

The Central Region is divided into two major groups, both names that Lin Shan has never heard of, Haoran Holy Land and Chunqiu Sword Sect!

"These two are both Confucian holy places in this world. They have always been very low-key and not as well-known as other holy places. They participated in the first two rounds of spiritual tides quietly without making a fuss. However, Lu is a Confucian country, and the Central Region is a sphere of influence directly under its jurisdiction."

Elder Hui Miao introduced Lin Shan's background to him. It was the first time that people from other sects and families present heard of him. Even the people on Xiong Mountain didn't know about him.

Even though they were both a force in the State of Lu, the Xun Gu Sect had never received any intelligence at all. Was the Central Region taken over by the holy land of Confucianism?

What shocked him was that, given the relationship between him and Jingyang Academy, the other party had not informed him. It was estimated that they had learned about the alliance between Xun Gu Sect and Guigu Holy Land, and Jingyang Academy wanted to avoid suspicion.

No wonder the Taixuan Holy Land sent people to infiltrate the Central Region. It turned out that they had already known that the place was booked in advance and there were no seats left!
"It is divided into two factions, namely the Confucian family faction and the Confucian academic faction."

"The Confucius, Meng, Xun and other aristocratic families all belong to the Haoran Holy Land. Their ancestors themselves left the Holy Land back then, so it is natural for them to join them."

"The White Deer Academy and the Jingyang Academy have been annexed by the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect. The other party is a Confucianist and a swordsman. It's weird that they dabble in both, but their individual strength is very strong!"

When Elder Hui Miao introduced, it was clear that he was disdainful but also a little fearful. This contradictory mentality was accurately controlled by Lin Shan. It was obvious that the people in Guigu Holy Land looked down on Confucianism, did not agree with Confucian culture in their language, and regarded military culture as the truth.

Confucianism values ​​harmony, while military strategists believe in stopping war through war. The two schools of thought disagree on some level, but there are also some areas where they can be integrated with each other.

Of course, in the end it still depends on your strength. You can only know the truth after fighting.

Master Liang explained the sphere of influence, and then focused on analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each company, as well as future development plans.

"Among the four holy places, our Guigu Holy Land and Haoran Holy Land are the most powerful, followed by Chunqiu Sword Sect, which is slightly inferior, and Taixuan Holy Land is the last."

"Among the major affiliated forces, the family alliance led by Haoran Holy Land, including the local Confucian families such as Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, is the largest; followed by our Guigu Holy Land's ally Xun Gu Sect, and Chunqiu Jianmen's helpers Bailu Academy and Jingyang Academy; and finally, Taixuan Holy Land's puppet Xingchen Society and Epiphyllum Society."

"In general, Haoran Holy Land has the strongest layout in Lu State, followed by Guigu Holy Land, Chunqiu Sword Gate, and Taixuan Holy Land. There is nothing to worry about."

At this point, everyone on and off the stage nodded, and they had a general understanding of this.

Some even laughed and said:
"Taixuan Holy Land is really ungrateful. They just spent the first two decades of their life in a shabby way. Why not just continue to find a remote third-class spiritual tide to occupy? Or they could grit their teeth and fight for a second-class spiritual tide. How dare they interfere with the first-class spiritual tide? They don't deserve it!"

The many Nascent Soul cultivators of Guigu Holy Land burst into laughter. In their minds, Taixuan Holy Land was indeed a holy land, but it could not compete with the mainstream holy lands today, and coming to snatch the first-class spiritual tide was simply courting death!

Look at what you have achieved. How can you compete with the other three?
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Taixuan Holy Land did sound a bit weak. Not only was it weak, it also did not have any strong allies. The puppets it supported were even more vulnerable, and they had basically excluded it from the competition.

"But there is internal information that Haoran Holy Land and Chunqiu Sword Sect occupy the Central Region and have secretly joined forces. They are both Confucian sects, so it is not surprising that they have an exclusive agreement. So in order to avoid being alone, we may have to unite with Taixuan Holy Land. Don't speak too soon."

Liang Maizhu was obviously very cautious when he spoke here.

Because the situation is actually quite delicate. Guigu Holy Land is apparently ranked second, chasing closely behind the first, and there is no gap between it and the third. As a result, the first and third seem to have the intention of joining forces. If forced, they may have to team up with the youngest.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became depressed again.

Lin Shan listened thoughtfully and remained silent. The people on Xiongshan Mountain, who were sitting one seat away from him, also had no expression on their faces and just listened quietly. On the contrary, the local local bosses below had worried looks on their faces and were apprehensive.

Their role is to be cannon fodder, and they must be panicking when they hear that the situation is serious.

After Liang Maizhu finished talking about the comparison of the various forces, the next thing to do was to talk about how his own family would make arrangements.

"The spiritual tide is in the Central Region this time. After we gather our forces at Guigu Holy Land, we must lead the army to Leibo Sea as soon as possible. I guess Haoran Holy Land and Chunqiu Sword Sect are close to us and have already prepared ahead of us."

"This time, the Holy Land sent out the Five Sects, together with the original Langhuan Yufu and Kaoshan Gang. They will set out from the south to the north and must arrive at the designated location in three days."

"The Xun Gu Sect in Luxi will be led by Sect Leader Lin and Junior Sister Hui Miao. They will march from west to east and must meet up with us at Lei Bo Sea within three days."

"Time is tight, I hope you can bear with me!"

Everyone agreed, and no one stood out to object.

Master Liang was worried, so he sought the opinions of the masters of the other four of the five meridians, and received positive responses from all of them.

"Where is Master Lin?"

"I'm OK."

Lin Shan could see that the other four sects basically only focused on the military formation sect, and they were just going through the motions to express their so-called attitude of listening to both sides. In fact, Liang Tianqi was the one who monopolized the power!
The Elder Hui Miao beside him is the military supervisor he appointed.

Although three days is a tight time, it is basically enough for a cultivator. He trusts Lu Xiuming's coordination ability.

"In that case, everyone, please get ready and adjourn the meeting!"

After the meeting.

The entire military camp began to mobilize, and various forces began to move busily, but Lin Shan was stopped by someone.

He found an empty house, where only he and the man from Xiongshan were inside.

"Master Lin, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Mr. Xiong Shan was hesitant and a little embarrassed, but when he saw Lin Shan's impatience, he immediately lowered his attitude and started chatting with him about family matters.

"Back then, we were fellow disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. We had some minor frictions at that time, but I'm sure the Sect Master doesn't take it to heart now."

"Who said that! I am a very narrow-minded person!"

Seeing that he was talking about things that were irrelevant, Lin Shan clearly did not recognize that he was the leader of the Kun Sect. He had no idea of ​​his previous experiences and his memory was still stuck in the old almanac from more than two hundred years ago, so he decided to tease him.

The man on Xiongshan was indeed afraid. He kept begging for apology. He looked so humble that even a dog would shake its head when seeing him.

Master Xiong Shan was naturally well aware of the gap in strength between the two. His sharp edges had long been smoothed out through long training, and now when they met, he almost knelt down before Lin Shan!
"Alright, alright, if you have something to say, just tell me, don't give me this."

How could Lin Shan not see that this guy had other purposes behind his courtesy?

There was no more nonsense and he was asked to explain immediately.

Only then did Master Xiongshan raise his head, organize his words slightly, and express his thoughts.

"Master Lin, I have long wanted to make friends with you. It is heaven's will that we can be together again today! I have an unwelcome request, and I hope you can help me. After the matter is done, I will be your strongest support in the Holy Land of Guigu! In addition, I can also introduce you to my master, Master Jinglian."

"what's up?"

"Help me to defeat Qianbu!" "What???"

Lin Shan screamed in surprise and almost scared Xiong Shanshangren, who quickly asked him to speak in a low voice.

"Shh~ Don't spread it out. There are Qianbu's spies outside. This kid is very popular here, especially after he led the troops to conquer Southwest Shandong and South Shandong. He is valued by many vein masters of Guigu Holy Land. It is said that he has been called the pride of the Holy Land!"

"and you."

"In fact, I mainly hate this kid for ruining my good deeds, not only in Lu, but also in Chu. It will take a while to settle the grudges."

There was an inexplicable gleam in the eyes of the man on Xiongshan Mountain. He must have been extremely disgusted with Qianbu, a traitor. It was the greatest shame of his life that he captured him by relying on the power of the holy land!
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down Qianbu, so he joined forces with Linshan.

"It is said that Qianbu has received great support from Guigu Holy Land. It is not easy to defeat him. Besides, you are not strong enough now. I think it is better to take a long-term view."

Lin Shan actually wasn’t very interested in this. His real opponents were the major holy places. Now he just had to lie in wait for the opportunity.

As for the grudge between Xiongshan Shangren and Qianbu, it was nothing in his eyes.

"Oh, come on, Master Lin, I actually have another piece of news. Do you want to hear it?"

"If you have to fart, hurry up and do it. I'm in a hurry to get back and clean it up!"

Seeing that Lin Shan was finally getting impatient, the man on Xiongshan looked outside stealthily and then whispered to him.

"Qianbu is a candidate for the next Holy Lord of Guigu Holy Land, one of the Yuanshen seeds. It is said that he will be cultivated towards the Yuanshen stage. So if we get any Yuanshen treasure in the spiritual tide, it is very likely to be assigned to him. Then we can rob him secretly."

"Ok?"

Lin Shan's eyes lit up.

Black people eat their own black people?

I like!
What's more, Qianbu is from the Guigu Holy Land and is not one of our own.

He recognized me as his godfather at first, but later ran away without even saying goodbye. How could I let him go now that we meet?
"Sure, let's rob him and beat him up at the same time, that's a good idea!"

The monk Xiongshan had a happy look on his face and was smiling happily!

"Hahaha, then it's settled. We'll hit him hard from behind when the time comes."

After coming out.

Lin Shan and Elder Hui Miao set out together, hurried back to western Lu, and ordered the people from all over the Xun Gu Sect to gather together quickly.

This spiritual tide war is of great significance. Naturally, it is impossible that only Xun Gu Sect will send out people, and Xun Gu Sect itself has only tens of thousands of disciples.

There are more local sects in western Shandong and northwestern Shandong!
In order to make up the numbers, each family was directly forced to send out more than 50% of their cultivators. This was like forcing young men to join the army, and each family dared not disobey. In fact, this matter had already been prepared when Elder Hui Miao came here.

And this is just the beginning.

As the war becomes more and more intense in the later stages, based on the experience of Xushen Mountain, it is foreseeable that 60%, 70%, or 80% of the troops will be recruited.

Not only that, the independent cultivators in the world of cultivation are also to be summoned, and the Xun Gu Sect and the Gui Gu Holy Land have offered generous conditions in order to recruit cannon fodder.

In this matter, there is essentially no difference from the magic path.

Two days later, the large forces gathered from Lujiang Academy, Yunchuan Academy, Luzhong Xianyin City and other places were counted, and all were registered and arranged on flying ships. They were escorted by major Nascent Soul cultivators to Tianfu Mountain and led by Lin Shan and Elder Hui Miao to the Central Region.

This time, the forces of the two domains are gathered, with an army of a full 100,000 cultivators!
It can be said that a full half is gone.

Western Shandong and northwestern Shandong have become visibly empty. Many markets, immortal cities, sects and aristocratic families have very few people and are far less bustling than before.

Millions of people embark on an unknown journey with different moods. Some of them long for opportunities, some just want to stay alive, some just eat and wait for death, and some even go worse, trying to steal and sneak into the holy land to seek wealth and glory at the risk of their lives!

None of these are important to those in higher positions. After all, they are just pawns, and their strength determines how high they can reach.

Finally, we arrived at the destination just in time and on time.

Central domain, Lei Bohai.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the reflection of the water below was like a mirror of the sky.

Master Xiongshan stayed on the shore to support them. He came up as soon as he saw Lin Shan and told them that when Liang Maizhu and others arrived, they found that the other two Confucian sects had already gone down. They were afraid that they would be too slow to catch up, so they had to lead the team ahead.

Let Lin Shan come and quickly go down to the lake to meet them.

"Qianbu led the army and entered as the vanguard, responsible for clearing the way."

Hearing the secret report from Master Xiongshan, Lin Shan nodded silently. He felt a little weird that this guy had become his younger brother without him realizing it.

"Let's rest for half an hour by the lake before setting off again. We have been traveling all day, so there is no need to rush."

He ordered his men to equip all the flying magic weapons with water-blocking equipment to ensure that these troop transport ships could move under the lake.

While we were cleaning up, a team arrived late from the east.

It is the team from Taixuan Holy Land!
The leader was an old man whom I had met once before. He came to Xun Gu Sect but failed in the bid to Guigu Holy Land. It was a bit awkward to meet him again now.

Lin Shan noticed that the Taixuan Holy Land had more than 100,000 people. It seemed that they had turned the four regions upside down. It was really a lot of trouble.

Behind him are his old acquaintances, True Lord Xingyun and Green Radish.

True Lord Xingyun obviously didn't recognize him, but Luluo had worked with him before, so she recognized Lin Shan at once, but she didn't acknowledge him, just glanced at him.

Both sides understood each other.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivators they had seen before and after, they counted and there were at least twenty or thirty of them, about the same number as in the Guigu Holy Land.

“Plop, plop~~~”

The other side did not rest, but jumped directly into the lake, starting the chase.

Seeing that everyone had rested enough, Lin Shan stood up and patted his butt.

"Let's go too!"
