I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 430: Dark Spring’s Support, Saint’s Marriage

On the front line of the demonic war, most of the Nascent Soul True Lords of the two camps sense each other from a distance and restrain each other, and generally do not get close to each other.

However, the cold and stern True Lord in black robe and wearing a feather crown, when he sensed Lu Chang'an's whereabouts, had a gloomy expression on his face and approached aggressively.

"Turtle Lu! I thought you would hide behind the Weidao League, but now you have the courage to come to the front line to patrol."

Lord Black Feather flew across the sky, surrounded by black wind and evil flames, hiding the hatred deep in his heart.

Until they were ten miles away from Lu Chang'an.

Lord Black Feather slowed down, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corners of his cold lips.

Among the higher-ups in the Beast King Valley, there is a view that, given True Lord Changqing's temperament, he might not dare to fight to the death in the demonic war.

Because True Lord Changqing has been hiding for many years and his whereabouts are unpredictable, some plans of Beast King Valley and Wujian Sect to target and retaliate against him cannot be implemented at all.

Hearing the enemy's True Lord's title, Lu Changan felt vaguely displeased.

Given his current high status in the Wei Dao League, no one dared to call him by his early nickname “Lu Turtle” to his face.

"If it weren't for Daoist Fellow Hei Yu's 'funding' in the past, I might not have the confidence to personally intervene in the Demonic War."

Lu Changan looked normal, smiling but not smiling, with his arms gently stretched back.

Whoosh!

A pair of domineering black wings several meters long spread out behind it, and a roaring cold black wind suddenly blew up in the sky.

"Black Sky Wing——"

Lord Black Feather roared angrily, staring at the familiar Black Feather magic weapon, unable to hide his exasperation.

【Black Sky Wings】 was a flying treasure that he had refined at great cost and cost, and it possessed an escape speed that was unrivaled in the Eastern Region.

Twenty years ago, Changqing Zhenjun returned to the Daqing East Region. Heiyu Zhenjun was careless and was plotted against by the enemy, resulting in the destruction of his physical body and the theft of his most powerful life magic weapon.

After losing the [Black Sky Wings], even if True Lord Black Feather rebuilt his Nascent Soul body, his overall strength was reduced by several percent, and his strategic position in the Beast King Valley declined accordingly.

“Haha, with this wing, ordinary Yuanying Daoists can’t do anything to you. This is the confidence that Daoist Fellow Black Feather gave me.”

Lu Chang'an was calm and composed, with the black wings behind him fully spread out, and overwhelming wind pressure surged over the area within a radius of dozens of miles.

"you--"

True Lord Black Feather was burning with rage. He managed to keep his body steady under the strong wind pressure, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Not only did the [Black Sky Wings] completely lose contact with its master, it also seemed to have been specially refined and exerted extraordinary power on Lu Changan.

However, without the corresponding bloodline and secret beast-taming techniques, it would be difficult to unleash the true speed of escape of [Black Sky Wing].

"Lu Changqing! If you still want to gain a foothold in the Great Qing East Region and have a way out, then you should return the [Black Sky Wing] wisely. I am willing to pay a certain price and trade with you."

"If not! One day, the six sects of the Holy Sect will dominate the Eastern Region, and the Beast King Valley will completely devour the Guardian Alliance. There will be a day of reckoning, and there will be no room for maneuver."

True Lord Black Feather did not take action to seek trouble, but instead communicated with a cold voice, which also contained a threat.

Lu Changan suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​suddenly destroying the enemy.

At the moment, they are at the front line of the battlefield, with many spies on both sides. If they want to kill the Demon Lord quickly, they will inevitably expose their trump cards.

Lord Black Feather had his Dharma body destroyed by him before, so he had learned a lesson and would be extremely vigilant.

Moreover, his powerful spiritual sense sensed that there was another unfamiliar Nascent Soul aura approaching from behind True Lord Black Feather.

The Nascent Soul aura was unlike that of the Beast King Valley. It was even more profound and mysterious, bringing a slight pressure to Lu Changan.

"Fellow Daoist Heiyu, please don't joke! The [Black Sky Wing] has become Lu's most important life-saving magic weapon, and it is not for sale. If you want to take this wing back, you will have to show your true colors on the battlefield of the devil someday."

Today, the magic war has not yet truly restarted.

Lu Changan didn't mind if True Lord Black Feather teamed up with other True Lords of the Demonic Path to attack him in the Demonic Path War.

You know, the fifth generation of the [Nine Seals Monument] has been lit up by 75%.

With two or three more Nascent Soul Spirit nutrients, it will be fully illuminated, and the three autonomous reincarnation methods of the secret of the Nine Seals Monument will be mastered.

……

When the two Nascent Soul cultivators were confronting each other.

In the area of ​​influence of the Beast King Valley, in the direction of the former Chen State, a dim and yellow Nascent Soul light flew over in an unusually silent manner.

"Mr. Fang."

Lord Black Feather spoke in a gentle and respectful tone as he bowed to the man.

"Daoyou Heiyu."

A dim light shone down from above, revealing a man with long flowing sleeves and tied hair, about thirty years old.

He is of above average appearance, with deep facial features and a restrained aura.

The person who came was also in the early Nascent Soul stage. Lu Changan did not dodge immediately, but a hint of surprise arose in his heart.

There was a hint of Taoism in the magical aura of this Master Fang that made him feel familiar and friendly.

This feeling does not come from the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, but...

"interesting."

Lu Changan looked at him from a distance and made some guesses about the origins of this Master Fang.

Don't give the two hostile True Lords a chance to meet and approach each other.

Whoops!

[Black Sky Wings] spread its wings and flapped, and a huge black wind enveloped Lu Chang'an. With a speed that was unmatched by that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator, it distanced itself from Hei Yu and the other two and returned to the border where the Wei Dao League was located.

"Oh? The one just now is the legendary 'Eternal Green Lord'."

Master Fang exchanged a few words with Master Hei Yu, and then said with great interest:
"Exactly this person."

Lord Black Feather's cold eyes stared at the direction where Lu Chang'an disappeared.

"This man stole the [Black Sky Wings], and after being blessed, his escape speed is the best among the early Nascent Soul stage, and is stronger than expected. I am afraid that no cultivator below the middle Nascent Soul stage can be his opponent. He is a great threat to our Saint Sect!"

True Lord Black Feather spoke in a sad and angry tone and sighed deeply.

Glancing at Fang Zhenjun who was calm and composed beside him, he smiled and complimented:

"Of course, a great hero like Fang Zhenjun is an exception. I think he is capable of suppressing this kind of people."

What Master Black Feather said was not entirely flattery.

This Master Fang is indeed not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

He came from the Mingquan Sect, the leader of the six sects of the Demonic Path. Even among the leaders of the Demonic Path, his status was very special.

First, Fang Zhenjun is the closed disciple of the grand elder of the Mingquan Sect.

Secondly, when he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, this gentleman was the youngest among the existing cultivators in the six sects of the Demonic Path. He can be said to be a genius.

It is said that Fang Zhenjun possesses some "wisdom from previous lives", his path of cultivation is extremely smooth, and his magical powers far exceed those of his peers. He is suspected to be the reincarnation of a powerful being.

There are rumors that Fang Zhenjun was a cultivator of the Mingquan Sect in his previous life and his seniority was relatively high.

Perhaps it was through the mysterious treasure of the Mingquan Sect that, due to some kind of causal relationship, he was brought back to the sect to practice in this life.

In recent years, Mingquan Sect's support has been mainly in the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance where the war has become more intense.

The situation in the Beast King Valley is relatively stable. The original plan was to slowly assimilate the Defense Alliance, or even to achieve peaceful evolution.

However, with the successive appearance of the three Yuanying combat forces, Lu Changan, Di Yanjun and Xia Xianzi, the Weidao Alliance's leader's war faction had overwhelming initiative and exerted pressure on the border.

The demonic war seems to be about to restart at any time, and the Beast King Valley no longer has a clear advantage in top combat power.

At the request of Beast King Valley, Mingquan Sect finally sent some reinforcements, including several high-level monks.

Although there is only one Yuanying Zhenjun, the leading one, Fang Zhenjun, has a special status and is quite sincere.

"Brother Daoist Heiyu, you are too kind! If True Lord Changqing has the methods described in the intelligence from Wujian Sect, I am afraid I am no match for him."

Fang Zhenjun immediately waved his hand.

I don't know whether he was being modest or telling the truth, but he didn't take the love potion that Black Feather Master had given him.

Following the master's orders, Fang Zhenjun came to aid the Beast King Valley. His main purpose was to gain experience, gild his skills, and gain some benefits from military merit.

He had no interest in helping True Lord Black Feather to take revenge and fighting a life-and-death battle with the powerful True Lord Yuanying.

……

True Lord Hei Yu and True Lord Fang chatted for a while and then returned to the territory of the Beast King Valley.

Soon after, the two separated and were responsible for guarding different areas.

"This man has no desire to compete. Without sufficient interests, it is difficult to persuade him to join us in fighting against Lu Wugui."

True Lord Black Feather felt regretful and pondered.

Earlier, he sensed the aura of Changqing Zhenjun, and Fang Zhenjun happened to be not far away from him, so he wanted to provoke a conflict and drag Fang Zhenjun into the water.

If he was really alone, he wouldn't dare to get close to Lu Changan and take that risk.

If Fang Zhenjun and Lu Changan had a grudge, that would be the ideal situation.

Fang Zhenjun himself has unfathomable strength, and his master is the grand elder of the Mingquan Sect, the number one leader in the magic world.

Unfortunately, that turtle Lu reacted quickly and ran away the moment Fang Zhenjun arrived to meet him, leaving him no chance at all.

A moment later, True Lord Heiyu returned to the territory of Beast King Valley, a frontline town in the north of the former Feng Kingdom.

"Meet the true king."

"Meet Elder Hei Yu."

Along the way, the monks from the Beast King Valley in the important town of the Immortal City bowed and saluted, and those with lower cultivation levels even prostrated themselves on their knees.

True Lord Black Feather ignored him and came to a third-level cave in an important town on the front line.

"Is Master Pei here?"

Lord Black Feather asked casually before arriving at the cave.

"Reply...Reply to Master Zhenjun, the master is in meditation and will not see any guests today."

The fake female alchemist in front of the cave hesitated and responded cautiously.

"I have something important to discuss with Master Pei."

True Lord Black Feather rushed into the cave as if no one was around.

The housekeeper and the servants did not dare to stop it and remained silent.

True Lord Heiyu laughed loudly, and his spiritual sense swept through the cave, discovering the peerless female cultivator in colorful clothes in the garden.

It was the former Peacock Saint, Pei Shuyuan.

Hearing the voice behind her, Pei Shuyuan did not turn around, and her expression did not show any joy or anger.

The Peacock Saint has maintained her youthful appearance through good methods. She is about 27 or 28 years old, tall and graceful, wearing a luxurious colorful dress, still as gorgeous and noble as before.

At first glance, it looks like a proud colorful peacock.

"Shu Yuan, I just encountered Lu Wugui while patrolling the front line."

True Lord Black Feather came closer and whispered. Pei Shuyuan looked back, her eyes, which had been silent for many years, were filled with a cold and clear light like the moonlight.

It seemed that only that name could stir up some ripples in her meaningless and silent life.

Back then, he was plotted against by Lu Chang'an, his foundation of Taoism was severely damaged, and he even lost his natal pet, the five-colored peacock.

Her cultivation level always remained at the late Jindan stage, unable to go any further, and she had long lost the halo and status of a saint.

After listening to Master Black Feather's description, Pei Shuyuan pondered:

"Even that turtle Lu has arrived at the front line to take charge. It seems that the Weidao League has made up its mind and is unwilling to surrender peacefully. It wants to restart the Immortal Cultivation War."

"Shu Yuan, since Lu Wugui is going to participate in the Immortal Cultivation War, you and I have a chance for revenge. However, this boy has obtained the [Black Sky Wings], which is even more powerful. It is now even more difficult to control him."

"Unless you and I join forces and find a perfect opportunity on the battlefield, then there is a possibility of making a plan..."

Lord Black Feather's voice gradually became gentler, and he took the beautiful woman's slender hand, which was as white as jade.

Pei Shuyuan's arms stiffened and she struggled subconsciously but failed to break free.

The man in front of her had an aggressive aura and his fiery and greedy gaze made her feel uncomfortable.

When True Lord Black Feather was still in the Jindan stage, he had admired the Peacock Saint for a long time, but he had been unable to get her.

In terms of talent and family background, Lord Black Feather at that time even felt a little inferior in front of the Peacock Saint.

If the saint had not died midway, even if he had been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it would still be out of reach.

In recent years, Master Wanhe has not objected to the marriage mentioned by Master Heiyu.

However, Pei Shuyuan has not made a final decision yet.

At this moment, True Lord Black Feather found that Pei Shuyuan's approach to him was not as excessively disgusted and resistant as before.

"Hehe! The proud peacock of the past will eventually become my woman..."

True Lord Heiyu was secretly delighted and reached out to touch Pei Shuyuan's slender waist.

Marrying the granddaughter of Master Wanhe is not only about fulfilling an unfulfilled wish.

More importantly, only by joining forces with this Yuanying elder with extensive experience in the sect can one have a chance to seek revenge in the war between demons and take back his life-saving magic weapon [Black Sky Wing].

Pong!
Colorful light rippled on Pei Shuyuan's body, and the "claws" of Master Heiyu that were holding her waist were bounced away.

"you……"

True Lord Hei Yu could not help but feel angry. As a True Lord of the Nascent Soul stage, he had been rejected by a female cultivator of the lower realm many times, and his patience had reached its limit.

Pei Shuyuan looked sad and sighed: "Brother Heiyu, you are not Shuyuan's husband yet. As a great master, why are you so rude and impatient?"

Hear the saint's softening words.

True Lord Heiyu could not help but be overjoyed, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart instantly disappeared.

"Shu Yuan, you finally figured it out. Our two families have a common enemy, and it will be beneficial for both of us to work together."

True Lord Black Feather clapped his hands and smiled, and no longer made any move towards Pei Shuyuan.

Master Wanhe's cultivation and supernatural powers are much stronger than his. This lineage's resources, connections, and voice in the sect far exceed his.

However, Master Wanhe has a fatal flaw:
That is, his lifespan is short, and his lineage has not cultivated any new Nascent Soul cultivators.

If he could become a Taoist partner with Pei Shuyuan, it would be of great benefit to True Lord Heiyu. In the future, he could even integrate the resources and influence of True Lord Wanhe.

……

Half a day later.

Lu Changan roughly patrolled the front line.

Part of the area he was responsible for guarding was adjacent to the former Chen State and was located to the west of Feng State.

These include several immortal cities, important frontline towns, and several strongholds.

The Yuanying Zhenjun in one's own camp have a way to contact each other in an emergency. If an accident occurs, the Zhenjun guarding the neighboring camp can arrive quickly.

At the same time, the fourth-level formation of the Wei Dao League can also sense and capture the enemy's Nascent Soul escape light and magic power.

In this case, if the enemy Yuanying wants to attack with a larger force than the smaller one, the success rate will be very low.

The same goes for the hostile forces in Beast King Valley.

While patrolling the border, Lu Changan discovered scouts and spies from the Beast King Valley, including disguised bird and animal spies.

Lu Changan did not take direct action.

"According to the unspoken rules of sect wars in the world of immortal cultivation, Yuanying Zhenjuns check and balance each other and exchange their children with each other. Unless there are special circumstances, they cannot directly attack low- and mid-level cultivators."

"Of course, if the number of Nascent Soul cultivators on the two sides is unbalanced, and one side far outnumbers the other, and no one is being exchanged, then that's another matter."

Although Lu Changan did not take action personally, he sent Di Yanjun to secretly investigate the front-line garrison area and attack underground.

In the days that followed, he simply handed over the patrol task to Di Yanjun.

……

half a month later.

Lu Changan temporarily settled down in the important frontline town "Ice Moon Castle".

This place belongs to the sphere of influence of Ao Yue Palace and was not originally on the border of Feng State. With the evolution of the magic war, this fairy city became an important frontline town.

On this day, a cold rainbow, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, arrived at Ice Moon Castle.

"Greetings to Master Xuanbing."

The visitor was a beautiful lady in a moonlit night gown, with long black hair tied up high, a lotus waist and graceful posture. She looked otherworldly, like a green lotus fairy in a painting of a palace.

"Husband."

Fairy Xia came to the cave and held hands with Lu Changan, just like a pair of immortal lovers.

The two entered the cave and spent a few moments together. Lu Changan then said:

"Wenyue, from now on, the two of us will be in charge of the frontline areas near the State of Chen. I will be more relieved if we can take care of each other."

Regarding this matter, Lu Changan discussed it with Alliance Leader Chu and obtained the latter's consent.

In addition to taking care of each other, Lu Changan can also practice the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" with Fairy Xia to promote his cultivation advancement.

Xia Wenyue has replaced the area originally guarded by his master "Jin Yue Zhenjun", which is also the responsibility of Ao Yue Palace.

Lu Changan is worried about True Lord Jin Yue. It would be best if the True Lord guarding nearby is someone he trusts so that he can be reliable at critical moments.

In addition to Xia Wenyue, Zhang Tianfeng and Master Liang are both Nascent Soul cultivators that Lu Changan trusts within the alliance.

"My dear, has there been any unusual movement in Beast King Valley recently?"

Fairy Xia will soon go to the adjacent areas to guard and patrol, and take the initiative to inquire about the situation.

"The Beast King Valley is not ready for a full-scale war yet, so we need to exercise restraint for now. Many of the war beasts used in the war of cultivating immortals have a relatively short lifespan. After several decades, we need to stimulate the birth of the war machine 'Fourth Order Beast King' in advance to start a war again."

Lu Changan obtained general information through the Wei Dao League's intelligence channels, including the insiders who infiltrated the Beast King Valley.

Over the past few decades, the two camps have traded with each other and infiltrated each other, and internal collusion among the middle and lower levels is inevitable.

"By the way, Wen Yue needs to be cautious with the powerful reinforcement from Mingquan Sect, 'Master Fang'. However, the frontline area that he is in charge of is mainly adjacent to my husband, so there won't be much of a problem."

Lu Changan gave a few more suggestions.

After learning the source of Lord Fang's information, Lu Changan became wary of him and understood Lord Black Feather's sinister intentions that day.

……

Three days later.

Fairy Xia left Ice Moon Castle and went to patrol the adjacent front-line area.

Lu Chang'an pondered for a moment, then took out a few rare divination items, floated them around his body, and did some divination calculations.

"Don't alarm that old immortal in the Beast King Valley."

Lu Changan stopped there, vaguely sensing the invisible resistance of the fourth-level divination, and stopped further deduction.

With the remote blessing from Heavenly Master, his divination power is now theoretically greater than that of the Great Elder of Beast King Valley.

But in the end, it didn't go beyond one level.

After arriving at the front line in person, the cause and effect and destiny are closer. If you make in-depth calculations related to the magic war, it will be easy for them to detect it.

Fourth-level divination master, this is Lu Changan’s hidden skill.

As long as Beast King Valley or Qingmu Zhenjun doesn't know, he is basically invincible in this war and game.

After this divination, Lu Changan once again verified his conclusion.

"Provoke a war between immortal cultivators and take advantage of the chaos to obtain the nutrients of the Nine Seal Monument. The sooner the better."

Today, the Mingquan Sect's strong support mainly comes from the Seven-Nation Alliance, which bears greater pressure.

There was even a small number of reinforcements from the Beast King Valley in the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance.

However, the opponent of the Weidao League, the Beast King Valley, is not yet ready for an all-out war.

Right now, Lu Changan needs an opportunity, a suitable entry point.

There are actually many excuses for war.

However, the Wei Dao Alliance is good at defense, and it is easy for them to be defeated one by one if they take the initiative to attack.

For general conflict excuses, Beast King Valley may restrain itself and will not take the initiative to start a full-scale war.

Fortunately, Lu Changan soon got an opportunity.

……

This evening.

Di Yanjun, who had been out for inspection and a meal, came back and brought the latest information to Lu Changan.

Lord Diyan devoured and killed many demonic scouts in the front-line areas, providing his master with the latest intelligence.

"Saint Lady Peacock and True Lord Black Feather will be married soon? Is this news true?"

One of the pieces of information made Lu Changan excited, as if someone had given him a pillow when he dozed off.

Lu Changan had always kept a record of the revenge for the Peacock Saint's pursuit and killing in his notebook and had never forgotten it.

If it was just the Peacock Saint, this entry point would be far from enough.

Killing or capturing Pei Shuyuan is of little significance, it would just mean more hostages or prisoners.

However, the marriage between the Peacock Saint and the Black Feather Master is a political marriage between the two Yuanying factions in the Beast King Valley, and it is of extraordinary significance.

Moreover, Lu Changan could guess with his toes that once Master Wanhe and Master Heiyu joined forces, they would definitely deal with him, their enemy, in the future.

"Master, rest assured, the information is confirmed to be correct!"

Di Yanjun said firmly:

"Master Black Feather announced the date of his wedding last night and is planning the wedding. As the two camps are on the verge of a war, the Demonic War is imminent. The two 'immortal lovers' guarding the front line did not get married in the rear of the Demonic War, but chose to hold the wedding ceremony in an important immortal city near the front line."
