I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 433: The Beast King Awakens, and the War Begins

"it is good!"

Hearing Lu Changan's reply, Elder Wanhe was secretly delighted.

Once this boy joins the gambling battle, he will not care about the cost, even if it means sacrificing his lifespan, and unleashing his secret skills, which will temporarily make him comparable to the middle stage of the Golden Infant.

Combined with the unexpected assassination, there is a high chance of killing Lu Changan.

The long nail magic weapon of the Wujian Sect's deputy leader can kill souls. Unless Lu Changan has the strength and foundation of Qingmu Zhenjun, he may not even be able to achieve the Nascent Soul's out-of-body experience.

"..."

Lu Chang'an stepped on the battlement, but stayed where he was, without stepping out of the range of the formation.

"What do you mean, Master Lu? I am so sincere, but you don't dare to come out and fight to settle your personal grudge?"

Looking at the hesitant Lu Changan, Elder Wanhe cursed inwardly, this kid is such a coward.

"Elder Wan He, could you please repeat what you said before?"

Lu Changan said with a half-smile.

"If you still don't dare to fight me in this situation, I will call you 'True Lord Turtle' to everyone I meet from now on."

"it is good!"

Lu Changan agreed decisively, took a step back, and completely returned to the city wall formation.

"you--"

Master Wanhe's eyebrows trembled, his face looked unsightly, and a hint of exasperation was revealed in his hoarse and trembling voice.

He was shocked and confused. Could it be that Lu Changan had seen through him?

This shouldn't be the case.

This plan was not a spur-of-the-moment idea. It was pushed behind the scenes by the leader of the Beast King Valley, who spent a lot of favors to invite the deputy leader of the Wuxian Sect.

Even the three Demon Lords behind him didn’t know the specific situation.

"Turtle Lu, even the old and frail monks of the same level dare not fight you, so you will bear the name of a turtle for the rest of your life!"

Elder Wan He, whose defense was broken, cursed angrily.

"Old fellow, you only have a life span of a hundred years or so. How can your life be as precious as mine?"

"If this old man damages my hairstyle, it will be a waste of time!"

Lu Changan waved his hand and said listlessly.

Elder Wan He's face turned blue, his chest heaved, and he almost exploded with anger.

He had never seen a fellow monk who valued his life so much and was so confident in his arguments.

Yin Yuanhai looked at Lu Changan beside him with a constipated expression.

……

In the important town, the monks from the Wei Dao League watched Elder Wan He leave cursing.

at the same time.

The large sensor array within our own territory produces a warning sensation.

Lu Chang'an noticed the changes in shadows near the city wall and the surrounding grass, trees and stones, which soon spread to a hundred miles away.

The change was so slight that he was on guard and only noticed the clue.

"Sure enough! That old guy plays outside the court and has no martial ethics."

Lu Changan sneered in his heart.

In previous divinations, he captured an uncertain crisis.

Thinking of what happened to "Master Lihuo" in his early years, he naturally became alert.

He could only think of Wuxianmen as the one with such a stealth ability that could hide from his senses.

Moreover, he is most likely a middle-stage Nascent Soul leader of the Wuxian Sect, whose spiritual awareness exceeds that of ordinary Lu Changan.

The Peacock Saint knelt on the ground, tears still lingering in her eyes. She saw the direction where her grandfather retreated helplessly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pei Nu, do you really think you are that important in your grandfather's heart?"

Lu Changan's eyes of pity fell on her face.

"In the gambling battle just now, you were just a cover and a sacrifice. The Nascent Soul cultivator of Wuxian Sect was lurking in the dark, trying to take the opportunity to assassinate Lu."

"If I were to die, do you think you would still have a chance of survival?"

Hear the truth revealed by Lu Changan.

Pei Shuyuan felt a chill in her heart, and at the same time felt the cold murderous intent coming from Fairy Xia.

She just sensed a reaction from the formation. Based on her understanding of the magic world and her grandfather, what Lu Changan said was probably true.

Also.

A granddaughter who has lost the potential to advance to the Nascent Soul stage is no longer as valuable in Elder Wanhe's heart as before.

Elder Wan He's goal is to kill Lu Chang'an, even if it means sacrificing his once most beloved granddaughter.

"Has the Nascent Soul Killer from Wuxian Sect been here?"

Yin Yuanhai looked stern and felt frightened.

Previously, I thought Lu Changan was too timid and overly cautious, and he didn't dare to go out to fight even when he had the advantage.

Now, he finally understood why Lu Chang'an, a casual cultivator who possessed a secret, could remain prosperous in the world of immortal cultivation for hundreds of years and become the second-in-command of the Weidao League.

Lu Changan did not tell Yin Yuanhai that the lurker just now might be a giant in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"It seems that I have entered the sight of the leaders of the six sects of the Demonic Path and have attracted their special attention."

Lu Changan thought.

That is to say, as a fourth-rank divination master, he was able to avoid danger and seek good fortune, thus evading the murderous plot of the Demon Sect.

Information related to the Wujian Sect emerged in Lu Changan's mind.

Wujian Sect has two people in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and the one coming this time might be the deputy sect leader who has been in office for less than a hundred years.

If they were to fight head-on, the threat he posed to Lu Changan would be limited, lower than that of other mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

This is because the characteristics of Wuxian Sect's martial arts focus on concealment and assassination, and its head-on combat is inferior to that of the middle stage Nascent Soul of the same level.

"The six sects of the Demonic Path are attacking various places in the Eastern Region. They have a large area of ​​occupied territory in the rear that needs to be maintained."

"It is very rare for a Wuxian Sect mid-Nascent Soul cultivator to temporarily come to the Weidao League battlefield. It is unlikely that he will stay here permanently. After all, this is not the Wuxian Sect's territory."

Lu Changan estimated that it would cost a lot for the Beast King Valley to ask such a big shot to take action.

This level of existence is used to deal with difficult characters and high-threat targets, such as Aoki Masamune in the past.

Lu Changan's previous performance was enough to qualify him.

……

"Fellow Daoist Yin, Wen Yue, it's best if the two of you don't leave the important fairy city alone in the near future."

To be on the safe side, Lu Changan reminded the two people around him.

In fact, in the same realm, it is easy for the middle Nascent Soul stage to defeat the early stage, but it is difficult to kill it, and it requires some effort.

Every veteran Yuanying has a life-saving trump card and an escape technique that is enough to sustain them for a period of time.

Even if it was a Nascent Soul cultivator, in the case of a head-on attack, the old Nascent Soul early stage cultivator's hidden tricks would allow him to struggle a little and not be killed instantly.

After all, every Yuanying Zhenjun is a big figure standing at the top of the world of immortal cultivation. Each of them has extraordinary luck and is not that cheap.

On the front line of the battlefield, due to the existence of the sensing array, once the Nascent Soul magic power is used, the tracks will be easily exposed, and nearby friendly Nascent Souls can provide quick support.

As long as there are two early Nascent Soul stage humans working together nearby, the middle Nascent Soul stage still has the advantage and can move forward and backward freely, but it will be more difficult to kill it.

"I understand."

Fairy Xia nodded, and after receiving Lu Changan's message, she knew that someone from Wuxian Sect who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul had been there.

"Master Lu is right. It's not wrong to be more cautious."

Yin Yuanhai thought to himself that there were few of those demonic Nascent Souls that he could defeat.

It is better to listen to Lu Changan's advice. Although it is a bit risky, your life will be safe.

"This time, my husband humiliated the Peacock Saint in public, making the Beast King Valley furious. His goal has been achieved. Next, how do you plan to deal with this girl?"

Xia Wenyue's eyes turned and fell on the Peacock Saint who was kneeling on the ground in silence.

"The strategic goal has been initially achieved, but this woman may still be of use in the future."

Lu Changan said thoughtfully.

He could see that Fairy Xia felt somewhat repulsed by her previous act of humiliating the Peacock Saint in public.

"My husband has already humiliated her. If you want revenge, it is better to execute him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he stays by your side, he will become a variable and hidden danger."

Xia Wenyue looked directly at Lu Changan and suggested.

"It would be a waste to kill him. We can take him back to the headquarters as a hostage."

Yin Yuanhai shook his head subconsciously, looking at Pei Nu, who was so beautiful and dressed as a bride.

"This woman will be an ordinary female slave from now on and will no longer be displayed to the public. Slave Pei is not only Mr. Lu's personal slave, but also Wen Yue's maid."

Lu Changan looked at Xia Wenyue and asked.

There is no way. Fairy Xia has achieved the Nascent Soul stage and is on par with us. She has a different status and identity and is qualified to raise questions.

Lu Changan's "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" relies more on Fairy Xia to make up for the deficiency of "Eternal Green Technique" that has no subsequent techniques.

When discussing Taoism on weekdays, Fairy Xia is very obedient and cooperative, although a little conservative.

She is not an NPC, nor is she an accessory without her own opinion.

Lu Changan should respect her opinions appropriately.

"it is good."

Fairy Xia felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

Pei Shuyuan knelt on the ground, feeling relieved but feeling even more sad inside.

She never expected that the person who was willing to plead for her and gain a little respect would be Lu Changan's woman.

……

a few days later.

The news that the Peacock Saint was humiliated and enslaved in public spread to the rear of the Beast King Valley camp.

The cultivators in the Beast King Valley were shocked and excited.

This situation is like when a big country is conquering and invading, and its noble princess is abducted by a small indigenous country and publicly humiliated.

In the past, I was the one bullying your small indigenous country, but now the situation has turned around. How can I tolerate this situation?

It is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

For a time, everyone in the Beast King Valley was outraged, and the calls for war became more and more intense.

Even among the top leaders of the Beast King Valley, the calls for war were growing louder and louder.

The factions of Elder Wanhe and True Lord Heiyu, the two Yuanying-level masters, have unquestionable influence in the Beast King Valley.

Including the Peacock Saint, she has many admirers in the Beast King Valley, some of whom are veterans in the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage.

Several small-scale fights broke out on the front lines of the two camps. The clashes between the scouts were even more brutal, with casualties on both sides.

The situation is somewhat out of control.

……

The former Yan State, the Valley of the Beast King. In the huge valley, there is a magnificent and rugged giant building complex, including the animal garden, bird nest, soul washing pool, etc., which surround the "Beast King Hall" in the center.

Beast King Hall.

Elder Wanhe landed on a flying crane and walked into the hall.

"metropolitan."

Elder Wan He first saw a bearded man in a purple robe, “Master Meng” of the Beast King Valley.

"Senior brother."

Sect Leader Meng had a stern face, but when he saw Elder Wanhe come in, he nodded slightly.

"Great Elder."

Elder Wan He then saw the fat old man half-lying down at the upper position, who looked like a big-bellied Buddha.

"Alas, this elder has always loved peace and does not want to have a final war with the Weidao League."

"However, with this kind of scandal, the radical faction within the sect can no longer be suppressed."

The great elder, with sleepy eyes, touched his exposed belly and sighed weakly.

Hearing this, Elder Wan He looked slightly embarrassed.

Today, he and True Lord Black Feather are considered the representatives of the radical faction, and they have also persuaded Sect Master Meng.

It's not that they have to fight.

Rather, it was the slap in the face from the Wei Dao Alliance this time that was too severe a humiliation and angered the people of the Beast King Valley.

The Peacock Saint herself is not that important, but she is the bond for the marriage between the two True Lord factions.

That slap from Lu Changan not only slapped the two True Lords in the face, but also brought shame to the Beast King Valley, the top sect of the demonic path that was feared in Daqing.

"Once the final war breaks out, many people will die. You must think clearly..."

The fat old man was eating broad beans and speaking compassionate words.

However, there was an inexplicable sense of disharmony between what he said and his nonchalant and lazy expression.

Elder Wan He knew very well that this great elder had lived the longest in the Beast King Valley, and that the largest number of high-level monks in the sect had died at his hands in the past thousand years.

However, the strategy of formulating peaceful trade methods and slowly assimilating the Wei Dao Alliance came from the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley.

If nothing unexpected happens, in a few dozen or even a hundred years, the Defense Alliance will most likely disintegrate, assimilate, and integrate into the camp of the Beast King Valley.

However, in recent years, a change has occurred.

That is Lord Changqing.

Sect Master Meng said in a deep voice: "If we don't start a war, how can our Beast King Valley have the face to be ranked alongside the six holy sects?"

"Unfortunately, the previous plot against Lu Changan was unsuccessful. Even if we had only severely injured him and caused his Nascent Soul to leave his body, we would have been able to stabilize the situation and the morale of the army."

Elder Wan He said with regret.

The deputy leader of Wujian Sect was invited by Beast King Valley at the cost of favors and money.

He is also in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, not a cultivator from Beast King Valley, so he will not always cooperate and help at the risk of his life.

"There is no mistake in the name. Lu Changqing is very smart and has the protection of the divination of the 'Heavenly Master'. It is indeed very difficult to kill him."

The Great Elder shook his head. It was just an attempt anyway.

He spread his hands and said, "If you want to fight, then fight. How are the war preparations going?"

Sect Master Meng pondered and said, "Most of the war beasts that were reserved for the Xiuxian War, including the fourth-level beast kings, have reached the end of their lifespans. In addition, the support for the Seven Nations Alliance has almost been used up."

"However, in recent years, I have ordered people to go to the Black Mist Mountains to hunt second- and third-level monsters to obtain new beast sources, which are enough to reserve for the consumption of a new round of immortal cultivation wars."

The Great Elder frowned for the first time: "It's a bit hasty, you should restrain yourself."

"The Seven Nations Alliance has not yet gained a firm foothold, and the Guardians Alliance has not yet completely taken control. It is not yet time to attack the Black Mist Mountains."

When the six sects of the Demonic Path expanded eastward, the Beast King Valley chose this area. One of the reasons was that they were attracted by the endless supply of beasts in the Black Mist Mountains.

Once they completely capture the territories surrounding the Wei Dao League, develop the source of beasts in the Black Mist Mountains, and operate for a few hundred years, the Beast King Valley may have a chance to become the leader of the Holy Gate.

"The high-level monks of the Beast King Valley are so precious. How can we continue to fight in the war and consume them excessively?"

Sect Master Meng knew the Great Elder's concerns and added:

"I have already ordered the Beast Hunting Hall not to go deep into the hinterland. Anyway, there are too many monsters in the Black Mist Mountains, and we will drive some away every time there is a beast tide."

The Six Demonic Sects used to be in the Central Region, not bordering the Black Mist Mountains. Although they had heard some rumors, they were not too afraid.

Several hundred years ago, great Nascent Soul cultivators were born in the ten sects of Xuanmen, but none of them destroyed them.

After the defeat, the righteous and the evil reached an agreement, and the main forces of the six evil sects withdrew from the Central Region stage, and their territory was close to the Black Mist Mountains.

You must know that the great Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ten Xuanmen Sects was no match for the Grand Elder of the Mingquan Sect before he advanced.

The Grand Elder of the Mingquan Sect was a genius who had spent too much time and energy on cultivating such great magical powers as the "Second Yuanying" and "Styx Purgatory".

Otherwise, the one who is promoted to the great monk may not be the one from Xuanmen.

With the constraints of Daqing's natural environment and thousands of years of wasted luck, at most only one miracle can be born.

……

boom!
Suddenly, an inexplicable vibration came from deep under the ground in the Beast King Valley.

When we arrived at the Beast King Palace, we only felt a slight tremor.

The Great Elder, the Sect Master, and Elder Wanhe, who were discussing the war, fell into a brief silence.

"How is the seal of the Beast King? Is it loose?"

The great elder spoke.

The war beast king that was bred and born by the secret technique in the Beast King Valley is actually a pseudo-fourth-level beast. It is not a real [Beast King], but it has absorbed the essence and blood of the sealed beast king.

The truly strongest beast king possessed heavenly blood and half demonic blood. He had a long lifespan and had been sealed in the Beast King Valley, in a deep sleep.

Sect Master Meng replied, "There is no problem with the seal formation. The Immortal Cultivation War is about to begin. Now, during the preparation period, we need to take the essence and blood of the [Beast King], which will awaken it and occasionally shake it to impact the seal."

This strongest [Beast King], which Beast King Valley cannot fully control, once nearly brought disaster to the entire clan. Once on the battlefield, they may fight without distinguishing friend from foe.

If it can truly take control, Beast King Valley will have a chance to compete for the position of leader of the six sects of the devil.

But the reality is that only the two mid-Nascent Souls of the Beast King Valley can barely control it together. Otherwise, the out-of-control [Beast King] may destroy the gate of the Beast King Valley.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Beast King Valley will not use this forbidden double-edged sword.

……

half year later.

At the front lines of the three countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, monks, war beasts and birds from the Beast King Valley camp continued to gather like a tide of locusts, and the army was approaching.

In the past few months, there have been constant small-scale battles and frictions on front-line battlefields across the country.

Fortunately, the Weidao League had already made preparations and drills for war more than ten years ago, and had stationed sufficient armies of monks on the borders of various places.

In the frontline area guarded by Lu Changan, the invading army of monks from the Beast King Valley is more numerous than in other areas.

There have been several incidents of fighting between hundreds of monks.

The Wei Dao Alliance was the defending side, so their casualties were relatively small.

However, part of the battle damage in the Beast King Valley was borne by the war beasts and pets.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Chang'an stood above the clouds and could not directly intervene in the offensive and defensive battles on the demonic battlefield below.

With the vast spiritual awareness of the Nascent Soul stage, one sees middle and lower-level cultivators dying in battles every day, in various tragic ways.

If Lu Changan saw his own cultivators fleeing in the middle of a battle, he would kill them without mercy.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Chang'an was the focus of Beast King Valley's attention, and was always confronted and restrained by hostile Nascent Soul cultivators.

He and Fairy Xia were guarding an area adjacent to each other, facing three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Beast King Valley.

They are:
Fang Zhenjun, Guo Zhenjun, and Heiyu Zhenjun.

Among them, Guo Zhenjun is not a direct descendant cultivator of the Beast King Valley, but a Nascent Soul cultivator who occupies the area and affiliated forces in the rear.

There are at least three Nascent Soul cultivators of this kind who rely on powerful forces in the Beast King Valley on the battlefield of magic.

If it weren't for the need to manage the vast territory in the rear, the Beast King Valley and its affiliated forces would be able to mobilize even more Nascent Soul True Lords.

……

Dozens of miles away in the clouds, Lord Fang looked down at the fierce fighting on the battlefield below and said calmly:

"Master Lu, this is the immortal cultivation war that you initiated. If the three countries of the Weidao League were willing to peacefully attach themselves to the six sects of the Holy Sect, there wouldn't be tens of thousands of cultivators going to the battlefield to die."

While he was speaking.

A seriously injured fake dan monk from the Weidao League was surrounded by a dozen war beasts from the Beast King Valley and was quickly torn into countless pieces, leaving bloody marks on the ground.

At the same time, several foundation-building monks from the Beast King Valley camp were killed by thunder from the Jindan monks of the Wei Dao League.

"Master Fang, if I remember correctly, you six sects of the Demonic Path are the invaders, right? The nations of the Defenders Alliance, and even the vast Eastern Region, have been ravaged by the flames of war from the Demonic Path camp for years."

Lu Changan said in a sarcastic and lukewarm tone.

"Is it a crime for us to defend our homeland and interests and expel the invaders?"

The Wei Dao League is only a small part of the vast Eastern Region that has been invaded.

There are also places like the Defense Alliance and the Seven Nations Alliance, where many immortal cultivation forces have formed alliances to resist the invasion of demons.

However, most of the resistance failed, and they were either destroyed or surrendered to the six sects of evil.

"The law of the jungle prevails in the world of immortal cultivation. The Saint Sect's torrent and the eastward expansion strategy are unstoppable!"

Fang Zhenjun said in a cold, matter-of-fact tone.

Lu Changan sneered and said, "Such a powerful Saint Sect was also expelled to the Eastern Region and fought for territory in a remote area."

Fang Zhenjun was not angry at all, and said calmly:
“If Master Lu possesses the magical powers of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and dominates a state and the Tianheng Continent, I will also bow down and respect him.”

"Well! We have been at a standoff for many days without any fighting. Today, let me, Lu, experience the strength of the disciple of the leader of the Demon Sect, 'Stereo Demon Lord'."

Lu Changan learned that the evil cultivators were accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing power rather than virtue.

Whoosh!

As soon as the words fell, the two True Lords approached each other, their Nascent Soul magic power exploded, and a magic cloud ring with a radius of one mile condensed above their heads. The green and yellow spiritual energy of heaven and earth roared and collided.

Wan withered vine hands!

Lu Chang'an waved his big hand, stirring up surging magic power. His arm suddenly expanded, extending withered yellow vines, turning into a twenty-foot-long vine giant hand, emitting the evil aura of decayed Yin wood, and slapped away horizontally.

This is Lu Chang'an's evil wood-based secret technique of bullying the weak. While capturing the target, he can devour the target's essence and blood to heal his own injuries.

"Humph!"

Lord Fang's sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he was calm and unhurried. He raised his hand and condensed a funnel-shaped ball of dim yellow dark water, which seemed to be pregnant with the dust of billions of dark stars.

Bang, chichi!
The Wanku Teng Hand that Lu Chang'an threw out, the majestic and continuous evil power of the Wood Dao was entangled by the dim dark water, and it disintegrated and split at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after several rotations, it disappeared without a trace.

What was strange was that the magical power that Fang Zhenjun condensed increased his aura by 30% out of thin air.

It seemed that part of Lu Changan's magic power was diverted and converted.

"My last intuition was correct. The technique this gentleman practices contains the rhyme of the Tao related to the power of reincarnation."

Lu Changan tried and it was immediately verified.

"Mediocre!"

There was a hint of disappointment on Fang Zhenjun's face, as if he had overestimated his opponent's strength.

He waved his hand and sent out a roaring dark yellow water, like a circling ancient yellow dragon. After several rotations, its power increased and it surrounded Lu Chang'an fiercely.
