I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 424: Taking charge of the situation and imitating Changqing

The next day, Lu Chang'an revealed his whereabouts and entered the Feng Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. The magical aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator triggered the induction formation.

In the Weidao League, Lu Changan did not have to worry about the calculations and ambushes of the Beast King Valley. This level of difficulty was like entering the territory of the Beast King Valley and killing a powerful Yuanying stage warrior.

Moreover, as a fourth-rank master of divination, he deliberately conceals his movements, making it difficult for the outside world to grasp his specific movements.

"Master Lu."

Accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, Yin Yuanhai came to meet them in a windmill vehicle.

Compared with his enthusiasm last time, Yin Yuanhai's expression seemed solemn, and no emotion could be seen.

After the greetings, Lu Changan got on the windmill and said in a low voice.

"I deeply regret what happened to your junior brother. This time I came to Feng Country on behalf of Jinyun Valley and went to Wuya Palace to express my condolences."

"Junior Brother Situ's funeral has already been simply arranged in Wuya Palace. Master Lu does not need to come in person, and the various sects and forces can just send people to express their condolences."

Unexpectedly, Yin Yuanhai had no plan to take Lu Changan to Wuya Palace.

Lu Changan thought to himself: In this situation, either Wuya Palace has a prejudice against me and expresses their unwelcomeness; or they handle it in a low-key manner to avoid expanding their influence and being used by people with ulterior motives.

"Master Lu has arrived at the right time. Master has just invited the top leaders of the Wei Dao League to the headquarters to discuss important matters."

Yin Yuanhai explained his purpose.

Lu Changan nodded slightly. It seemed to be the second case.

There is actually no point in holding Situ Lan's funeral in a high-profile manner and exaggerating emotions of hatred and confrontation.

This will put the Weidao League on a high pedestal and raise expectations. If no effective measures are taken, it will appear to be powerful on the outside but weak on the inside, and incompetent.

Secondly, it will embarrass Lu Changan, the person involved.

After all, nominally Situ Lan was implicated by him and assassinated by the Beast King Valley in retaliation.

Chu Tianfeng invited the high-level members of the Wei Dao League to discuss specific countermeasures and do things in a pragmatic way. He did not intend to make a big fuss about his disciples or engage in verbal battles with the Beast King Valley.

On the way, Yin Yuanhai said solemnly:

"Master asked me to tell you that Junior Brother Situ's death had nothing to do with Master Lu. This was a plot by the Beast King Valley. Master Lu doesn't need to bring this up again when we get to the headquarters."

"Alliance Master Chu is magnanimous and generous. I, Lu, feel ashamed."

Lu Changan bowed his hands and apologized, feeling relieved.

When he came, he was still considering how to make excuses to ease the relationship with Wuya Palace and Alliance Leader Chu.

Unexpectedly, Alliance Leader Chu arranged the funeral in a low-key manner and took the initiative to resolve the grudge.

This kind of calm handling of the matter is easier said than done.

If this really happens to your own children, it is difficult for parents to remain calm.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the relationship between a master and his disciples that spans hundreds of years is, in some ways, deeper than the relationship between one's own offspring.

……

Arriving at the Wei Dao League headquarters, the Feng Kingdom was greeted by a Yuanying light that looked like a golden moon and a long rainbow.

"Palace Master Jin Yue has also arrived."

Yin Yuanhai and Lu Changan stopped in front of the headquarters and waited.

Jin Yue Zhenjun, wearing a phoenix crown, landed in front of Lu Changan and the other man, and the two sides exchanged simple greetings.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, please accept my condolences! Situ Lan was extremely talented and had an innate Dao body. His death in the revenge of the Beast King Valley is indeed a great loss to the Dao Defense Alliance."

True Lord Jin Yue couldn't help but sigh with regret.

She looked at Lu Changan again, her eyes cold, and said bluntly:
"Master Lu, if you had listened to my advice that day, the relationship between the two camps would not have become so tense. The demon sect will never let go of any grievances."

A few years ago, when Lu Changan visited Aoyue Palace, she proposed a compromise suggestion:

[Black Sky Wing] cannot exert its power in Lu Changan's hands, so it is better to let the Wei Dao League buy it and return it to the Beast King Valley during the negotiation to ease the relationship between the two major camps.

Today's facts seem to confirm the "foresight" suggested by Master Jin Yue at that time.

"It's pointless to say this now. My master has already made a conclusion. Junior Brother Situ's affairs have nothing to do with Master Lu."

Yin Yuanhai had a blank expression on his face and passed over the topic.

"Alas, Mr. Lu is too focused on personal interests and is not as good as Fellow Daoist Jin Yue in seeing the overall situation."

"If Beast King Valley has more excessive demands in the future, I believe that Fellow Daoist Jin Yue and Ao Yue Palace will step forward and make sacrifices and contributions for the Defenders Alliance."

Lu Changan simply said a few words and did not continue arguing with Master Jin Yue.

He was planning to steal girls from Ao Yue Palace and take Fairy Xia as his concubine, so there was no need for him to argue with Master Jin Yue about who was better.

……

Enter the main hall of the mountain city headquarters.

In addition to Chu Tianfeng sitting at the top, there were also two old Yuanying who had lost the mountain gate.

"Alliance Master Chu, please accept my condolences."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they took their seats in the hall.

Chu Tianfeng looked calm, with no trace of grief on his face, except for a hint of fatigue and fatigue on his face.

Since Chu Tianfeng had made a conclusion in advance, Lu Changan did not mention his "responsibility" and omitted the cliché of regret and apology.

After waiting for half a day, Liuyang Zhenjun of Jinyang Sect and Li Hai of Xuanyin Sect arrived one after another.

There was only one Yuanying Zhenjun in Jing State, and he was at the front line. Li Hai came to mourn on behalf of Xuanyin Sect, but received the invitation and came on behalf of his master.

"Junior Li Hai, greetings to Master Lu."

Li Hai was respectful and went out of his way to pay a visit to Lu Changan, treating himself as a junior.

Lu Changan looked at Li Hai in front of him.

He now looks like a middle-aged man, wearing a black robe, with a sturdy and upright figure, and has reached the peak of the Jindan stage.

From his facial features, Lu Changan vaguely recalled the talented disciple of the Xuanyin Sect in the Qingming Secret Realm of Liang State hundreds of years ago.

Li Hai was a genius with earth spirit roots, and his aptitude was actually better than his master. Unfortunately, with the Xuanyin Sect's accumulation over the years, they were unable to provide a second resource for forming a newborn child, causing him to miss the right age to form a newborn child.

After all the high-level representatives arrived, Chu Tianfeng got down to business and discussed strategies to deal with the Beast King Valley.

It's not just about Situ Lan being murdered.

The six sects of the demonic path have made major moves in recent years, and the Mingquan Sect has freed up its hands to support the other sects.

It was at this point that Beast King Valley launched a strong counterattack.

"Situ Lan was murdered by the 'True Lord Jueying' who was newly promoted to the Wujian Sect in recent decades."

"Jueying is a gifted person, especially good at lurking and assassinating. He has cultivated a shadow magic that allows him to control shadows to assassinate from a long distance. The threat is as great as that of the Nascent Soul. It is very difficult for a solitary Jindan cultivator to resist being attacked."

"During this assassination, Wuya Hall uncovered a traitor who was a true disciple. A Wujian Sect stronghold was found in Fengguo territory, but the core figures had moved away in advance. Only a fake Dan cultivator and several foundation-building members were arrested."

Chu Tianfeng first explained the inside story of the incident.

If the news had not been leaked, and if the Yuanying Zhenjun of Wujian Sect had not taken action behind the scenes, Situ Lan, as the direct disciple of Alliance Leader Chu, would not be able to be defeated by a few Jindan strongmen in a short time.

"True Lord Jueying?"

Lu Changan whispered the name and thought of Xing Peng’s eldest cousin, the former leader of Jueying.

In the past battle with Master Shahai, the Wujian Sect suffered heavy losses, and only the leader Jueying escaped.

Considering Xing Peng's request before his death, Lu Changan gave the unconscious Jueying leader a way to live.

At that time, Lu Chang'an was only in the late Jindan stage. He saw that the leader of Jueying had extraordinary luck and was being cultivated by the top leaders of Wujian Sect, so he was also a little worried.

He then used the alias of "Tianji Taoist" to give healing pills to the leader of Jueying, leaving behind a name behind.

A hundred years later, the former leader of Jueying has indeed achieved extraordinary success and is now a big shot in the Wuxian Sect.

……

Inside the main hall, the pro-war and pro-peace factions disagreed on the countermeasures against the Beast King Valley.

True Lord Liu Yang pondered and said, "Alliance Leader Chu has uncovered the traitor and attacked the Wuxian Sect's stronghold, with certain results. In the next few years, the three countries of the Weidao Alliance will increase their efforts to strictly investigate and clean up the traitors within the Wuxian Sect and eliminate the hidden stakes. After accumulating results, there will be an explanation to the outside world."

"It has always been a normal practice to investigate the strongholds of the Wuxian Sect's traitors. How can we be so perfunctory about it? The demons have violated the unspoken rules and used their Nascent Soul combat power. We must give them an equal counterattack and at least make them pay the same price."

Wei Zhenjun, who once came from the Blood Sword Valley and whose mountain gate was destroyed, frowned slightly, and his face, which was as old as orange peel, showed displeasure.

True Lord Jin Yue sneered, "The main reason why the Beast King Valley took countermeasures this time was to find a legitimate excuse. A Yuanying elder's Dharma body was beheaded, so it is inevitable for the Demon Sect to take measures. I agree with Fellow Daoist Liu Yang's strategy. It is best not to escalate the incident and avoid the outbreak of a war between immortal cultivators. Just give an explanation to the outside world."

"Li believes that the Beast King Valley's countermeasures are related to the overall strategy of the six sects of the Demonic Path. Even if there is no incident with True Lord Black Feather, they can find other excuses. This move may be to test our bottom line and split the internal defense alliance."

As a Jindan cultivator, Li Hai should be more tactful in his wording.

Chu Tianfeng's face was calm, occasionally showing some thought, but he didn't express it clearly. "What suggestions does Master Lu have?"

Alliance Leader Chu's deep and calm gaze suddenly fell on Lu Changan.

Lu Changan's main pet is equivalent to the combat power of two Yuanying (Nascent Soul) realms, and has a great say in the Wei Dao Alliance.

"Lu suggested that the Defenders Alliance use this incident as an excuse to deploy troops on the border, mobilize high-level cultivators, and have Yuanying Zhenjun take charge. The Defenders Alliance should enter a semi-war readiness state and put enough pressure on the Beast King Valley."

Lu Changan spoke calmly, but his words were shocking.

True Lord Jin Yue's pretty face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "True Lord Lu, don't joke! Do you want to restart the immortal cultivation war and put millions of cultivators of the Defenders Alliance in dire straits just to save face?"

"One thought away, you will lose your room for maneuver, or perhaps even fall into an abyss that will make you an eternal sinner for all the nations of the Weidao League!"

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Jin Yue, you are too serious. What I proposed is not just revenge for Situ Lan's death."

Lu Changan couldn't help but feel ashamed. He didn't expect that Master Jin Yue's words would be so sharp.

However, these Yuanying Zhenjuns present here do control the fate of many forces, countless immortal cultivators, and all living beings in this world.

The other True Lords, although somewhat surprised, looked thoughtful.

True Lord Jin Yue also came to his senses and his expression eased a little.

"Master Lu's ideas coincide with mine."

Chu Tian showed his approval on the cover and finally expressed his opinion:
"If the Weidao League is content with the status quo and fails to put pressure on the enemy, the Beast King Valley may send one or two Yuanying, including a fourth-level Beast King war machine, to support the Blood Spirit Sect and the Phantom Demon Palace. If that happens, the Seven Nations Alliance will be caught in a dilemma and the situation will inevitably collapse!"

"Once the Seven Nations Alliance collapses, the next one will be the Defense Alliance. By then, they will completely lose the right to choose their own destiny and become fish on the chopping block."

Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

Even those who seek peace do not want to see a terrible situation where they have no bargaining chips and are at the mercy of others.

"Master Lu, this method can be used. It can not only demonstrate our strong counter-attack attitude, but also put pressure on the Beast King Valley to prevent it from supporting the demonic forces of the Seven Nations Alliance."

Liu Yang Zhen Jun spoke in a deep voice, and as a peace advocate, he also chose to agree.

Alliance Leader Chu, Lu Chang'an, and True Lord Liuyang have all expressed their opinions, so it is naturally difficult for other cultivators to object.

Soon, the Wei Dao Alliance will mobilize all major forces and enter a semi-war preparedness state.

This was the first time that Lu Changan participated in an important meeting and decision-making of the Wei Dao League. He became a chess player above the clouds and promoted the fate of the land of immortal cultivation.

……

In the following half day, the elders present discussed the deployment of personnel and resources in preparation for war.

This involves complex interest relations, and in the initial stage only a rough outline can be determined. Specific discussions and coordination of numerous immortal cultivation forces will be required later.

After the meeting, representatives from all parties left the Wei Dao Alliance headquarters.

Lu Changan chose to stay alone.

As a veteran of the Wei Dao League, it is not a bad idea for him to practice here during wartime.

"Please trouble Alliance Leader Chu. I may have to stay at the Defense Alliance headquarters to practice for a while."

Lu Changan said with a smile.

Chu Tianfeng couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I thought Lu Changan had something important to discuss with me, but I didn't expect that he really planned to stay for a while.

After all, the disciple of Alliance Leader Chu was implicated and killed by Master Lu. At this point in time, the relationship between the two sides is somewhat delicate, and contact should be avoided.

"Lu stayed at the Weidao League headquarters for two main reasons."

Lu Changan said calmly:

"First, Lu is willing to help the Weidao League find out the traitors and strongholds of Wujianmen or Beast King Valley. At least find out the high-level people in the middle and late stages of the True Dan, which is enough to counter the counterattack of the Demonic Path."

"Wujian Sect is good at infiltration and concealment. Is Master Lu sure he can accomplish this?"

Chu Tianfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as tall and straight as a mountain, his bearing extraordinary, and at this moment, a hint of joy appeared on his calm face.

"I think we should be 50 to 60 percent sure."

Lu Changan smiled, his tone relaxed.

As long as the Weidao League gave him enough intelligence clues, with the mysterious ability of the fourth-level divination master, it would not be difficult to catch the high-ranking demons below the Nascent Soul stage.

The key point is that Beast King Valley and Wuxian Gate never thought that Lu Changan possessed the fourth-level divination skills.

Most people believe that Lu Chang'an is blessed with good fortune, protected by the Heavenly Master's destiny, or possesses a treasure that can conceal the secrets of heaven.

"These are the relevant intelligence collected by the Wei Dao League."

Chu Tianfeng trusted Lu Changan very much. He took out a jade slip, engraved confidential information on it, and gave it to Lu Changan.

"I have another small matter that I need the attention of Alliance Leader Chu..."

Lu Changan then mentioned the matter of taking a concubine.

"Now that we have entered the stage of war preparations, it would not be difficult to transfer Xia Wenyue to the headquarter of the Wei Dao League. However, if Daoist Fellow Jin Yue knew about this later, he might feel alienated."

After listening to Lu Changan’s specific (freebie) plan, Chu Tianfeng was stunned and his face twitched slightly.

If Lu Chang'an pays a price, he can openly take a concubine.

Of course, he also saw that Lu Changan and Jin Yue Zhenjun did not get along, and did not want to plot against the latter.

"Hehe, if the Weidao League hopes to give birth to another Nascent Soul cultivator, it can't be like the peace-loving Jin Yue Zhenjun who shares the same hatred for the enemy and completely lean towards the Ao Yue Palace, right?"

Lu Changan chuckled.

"Master Lu, could it be..."

Chu Tianfeng was moved, showing surprise for the first time, and looked at Lu Changan with sharp eyes.

Lu Changan nodded, confirming his guess.

"If that's the case, Chu will definitely cooperate!"

Chu Tianfeng was overjoyed and agreed to the deal immediately.

As the leader of the Weidao Alliance, Chu Tianfeng is seriously worried about the lack of top combat power in the camp.

Considering the relationship between master and disciple, he gave Situ Lan a chance, but the latter needed to prepare some opportunities for forming a baby himself.

Situ Lan failed, and some of the resources he had prepared for forming a baby were taken away by the Wuxian Sect.

Chu Tianfeng was in grief and depression, but he had to remain calm, not reveal his inner emotions, and handle the matter impartially.

Lu Changan's current behavior is like sending a pillow to someone when he's about to fall asleep.

The Beast King Valley was looking for an excuse to kill a Yuanying seedling of the Weidao League. If a new Yuanying could be cultivated as soon as possible, it would be the most powerful slap in the face.

Lu Changan also confirmed Chu Tianfeng's magnanimity and willingness to support talents from other sects, so he confessed his plan to him.

……

half a month later.

The Weidao League has already entered a state of preparation for war, and the major forces in the Three Kingdoms' immortal cultivation world are inevitably in panic and confusion.

Some middle and lower-level monks who were unaware of the truth fled upon hearing the news.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by the law enforcement monks of the Wei Dao League who were well prepared.

The false war mobilization indeed exposed some problems, which was completely within Lu Changan's expectations.

The monks who were captured and fled would naturally be severely punished.

Some of the monks who fled tried to make excuses, shouting loudly:
"We are not running away, but following the example of 'Master Changqing'. We will protect ourselves first, and then return to our hometown when our magic power is fully developed in the future!"

This statement immediately attracted a response:
"That's right! We just have low magic power. We will save our fighting spirit and determination to fight against the devil for later."

Snapped!Snapped!
The fake Dan Zhenren who was enforcing the law slapped him a few times:

"How dare you slander 'Eternal Lord'? Your crime is even more serious!"

"what?!"

Those cunning monks who were trying to use the name Changqing Zhenjun as an excuse were suddenly dumbfounded.

The same thing can be done by Changqing Zhenjun, but they cannot.

For mentioning it, not only was there no forgiveness, but the crime was made even more serious?
"Humph! You ignorant youngsters, are you actually dreaming of imitating the Evergreen Legend?"

The Jindan cultivator who was enforcing the law sneered and said sarcastically.

"Why don't you ask where this strategy came from to catch so many of you runaways?"
