Immortal Road.

This majestic declaration signifies the arrival of the sacred land of Penglai!

Everyone on Tianfu Mountain stepped out of their caves and looked up nervously at the massive ships in the sky. They had just repelled the attack of the enemy's six primordial spirits not long ago, and now they were coming back again!
Moreover, judging from the appearance of a large army pressing in, it seems that all of their main forces have been deployed.

"Leader Lin, you brought us here just to help us deal with the Penglai Holy Land, didn't you?"

Chi Hong, Jian Guhan, Han Hai Zun Zhe, Yu Ming Shen Jun and other members of the Black Lotus camp stared wide-eyed. They had just been rescued by Lin Shan Yuan Nian's clone not long ago, escaping from the depths of the Earth's core to Blackwater Cliff, and then wandering around to the State of Lu.

I thought I was just visiting, but who knew I'd run into this mess? I'm being conscripted now, and I can't run away even if I wanted to!
Venerable Yushe and Lord Shouzhuo both smiled wryly.

Well, you've got a knack for making things up. So we've become your henchmen?

"I apologize, everyone. Penglai is trying to eliminate dissidents while the two True Immortal factions are locked in battle. How can I allow them to succeed?"

Lin Shanle looked at everyone. Lin Fan, Brother Chicken, Demon Dog Lord, and Great Demon Qu Gong all laughed heartily, clearly admiring his ability to pull people together at crucial moments.

In this way, the combat strength of the Xun Gu Sect's high-level leaders doubled, and they gained confidence!
However, the Holy Lord of Penglai in the heavens was unaware that he was standing at the bow of the flagship ship, looking down and directing the disciples on each ship to quickly set up their formations and block the exit from all sides, while calling for Lin Shan to come out and speak.

"Where is the leader of the Seeking Ancient Sect? The sacred land of Penglai has graced us with its presence; why do you not come out to greet him?"

Lin Shan didn't reply, but the Demon Dog Lord beside him was itching to make a move!

It was terribly tricked by Zang Yan back then, and only after going through countless hardships did it reincarnate. Last time, it lost its only Yuan Nian incarnation during the attack on the East Sea. Now it is finally going to have a good fight and can't wait to devour everyone on the other side!

However, Lin Fan reacted quickly and forcefully pressed down on the dog's head. He searched for the rhinoceros demon's location but couldn't find it, so he told it to calm down.

After all, that guy is one of our own undercover agents. If you come out like this, won't you expose everything?
Chicken Bro, however, had no such concerns. He flapped his wings and flew into the sky, cursing loudly at the sky above him!
"Oh, you shameless scoundrels! You launched a sneak attack on the Fallen Pine Mountains and destroyed my demon race's homeland! I, Ji Wuque, swear to never let you live under the same sky! Tell me, what have you done to Ancestor Red Lotus?"

Before the Holy Lord of Penglai could reply, someone behind him couldn't help but jump out.

It is none other than the ancestor of the East China Sea electric eel!

"It was you, you shameless little chick, who dared to kill my son and my incarnation! Today, I, your ancestor, will avenge you!"

"who are you?"

Chicken tilted its head, its comb standing on end, and stared at the person up and down for a long time, but still couldn't remember who it was.

"Ahhhh-"

The electric eel ancestor was almost driven mad with anger on the spot. To be ignored by a little chick was an utter disgrace to it!
At this moment, many old monsters from the East Sea were already laughing in the Penglai group, while more sea creatures were watching the show.

If it is insulted by a chicken like this, it will be difficult for it to hold its head high in the community in the future.

"you wanna die!"

The electric eel ancestor suddenly shot out, aiming straight for Chicken Brother's face!
"scare?"

The war started before it was even declared, which startled even the Holy Lord of Penglai. He quickly sent a secret message to the Electric Eel Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist, don't forget the instructions from the upper realm: this chicken must be caught alive, not dead!"

"understood."

The two sides then openly engaged in a battle of wits on the battlefield, thus beginning the war between the two armies.

After fighting each other for dozens of rounds, Brother Chicken's Five-Colored Divine Light shattered his opponent's supernatural abilities, rendering all his moves useless. It can be said that one force can overcome all methods!

The electric eel ancestor grew increasingly alarmed as he fought, exclaiming that it was impossible.

Because this time it was different from the past, the main body personally went into battle, and even it couldn't defeat this chicken?

"Get out of the way, let me have my turn!"

A loud shout rang out from behind, followed by eight tentacles that coiled around the chicken, layer upon layer, as if to carry it away.

Upon seeing this, the electric eel ancestor quickly retreated. This octopus ancestor was a deep-sea overlord who would whip sea creatures at the drop of a hat and was notoriously difficult to deal with in the circle.

Chicken Bro was in high spirits, not caring who it was at all. He raised his comb and claws, and unleashed a flurry of five-colored divine light!
Ignoring everything else, the octopus ancestor charged forward with its physical body. Its soft, boneless form was flexible and resilient, instantly blocking all harm and wrapping Chicken Brother in its arms.

Then, countless tiny suction cups clung to it, their powerful suction making it impossible to shake off. Chicken Bro was immediately shocked!
"Come here right now, you little rascal, you'll get what's coming to you later."

As it struggled and pecked frantically inside, the octopus ancestor felt a slight sting and then spat out jet-black ink to paralyze its prey!
This ink has an incredible effect; it can make an opponent lose consciousness silently and become a meal. Many old monsters in the cultivation world have wanted to obtain even a small bottle of this ink but could not get it.

Seeing that Chicken Brother was about to be captured, Lin Fan, who had been waiting below, rushed up and unleashed a barrage of plasma attacks that left Octopus Ancestor dazzled. Chicken Brother seized the opportunity to use Taibai Golden Flame to assist from the inside and outside, allowing the two brothers to escape!

After just a brief exchange, it was clear how inclusive the opponent's lineup was. Both of the sea race experts were present in their true forms, and the Octopus Ancestor was even at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, causing those watching from the Ancient Searching Sect below to gasp in astonishment!
The Demon Dog King dared not bark anymore. He sat upright on the ground with his tail between his legs, knowing that he was definitely going to his death with his current behavior. He couldn't help but ask Qu Gong beside him how he felt.

"These two sea creatures are no match for me, but there is still a dangerous aura surrounding the Holy Lord of Penglai."

As the cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and immense physical strength, anyone who could threaten Qu Gong must be no pushover!

"Leader Lin, I'll be right back. Please cover for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Gong took to the air and gave chase.

Upon seeing this, the Electric Eel Ancestor and the Octopus Ancestor were so frightened that they fled on the spot, clearly aware of the great demon's power. Meanwhile, a white-faced old man also stepped forward from the opposing camp.

They blocked Qugong with a direct confrontation!

The two revealed their true forms: one was a demonic being from the south, and the other was a white whale. Both were thousands of feet tall, and they fought fiercely in the sky above Tianfu Mountain, their punches landing squarely!

This was the first time anyone had witnessed a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in hand-to-hand combat. Every punch he threw could shatter the void, and the world seemed like a toy to them.

This is none other than the White Whale Ancestor!

After a hundred rounds of fighting, neither side could gain the upper hand. Suddenly, another head emerged from the shoulder of the Qu Gong Demon Body. It turned out that Gong Qu, seeing that his partner could not defeat the opponent, decided to attack together as the twin demon stars. They even summoned their Dharma forms at the same time.

The white whale ancestor silently withstood the attack, demonstrating the powerful and profound heritage of the sea creatures!

However, in the end, the Holy Lord of Penglai saw that it was about to collapse, so he personally stepped in to help it out of the crisis and escorted the White Whale Ancestor back to the fleet.

Qu Gong did not give chase, but stood solemnly in the sky, calm and cautious in the face of powerful enemies, no longer showing the recklessness of ten thousand years ago.

"Very well, the aquatic creatures of the East Sea are indeed quite capable. With such strength, why are you willing to submit to Penglai and serve as lackeys of the human race?"

"Hehe, don't say such harsh things. The aquatic allies and Penglai are equals. You don't need to sow discord."

Seeing that the surrounding formations were complete, the Holy Lord of Penglai immediately ordered his army to begin deploying!
Drink~
In perfect unison, blue light waves instantly rose up, enveloping the entire Xun Gu Sect. In a short time, a sixth-order Grandmaster-level formation was erected out of thin air! The title of Grandmaster of Formations of Penglai Saint Lord was well-deserved.

Master Zhan Kong of the Seeking Ancient Sect and the Black Skull Demon Lord, mixed in with the crowd, were taken aback. The layman watched the spectacle, but the expert saw the details. Just by showing a move, they could feel the difference between them.

Lin Shan immediately led all the primordial spirits to fly up into the sky, but hid the Demon Dog Lord in the Star Palace.

This lineup surprised even the Holy Lord of Penglai!
Half of them were outside his intelligence, and he didn't know when they arrived to reinforce the Xun Gu Sect, which clearly made him misjudge the situation, but fortunately the problem wasn't too serious.

Because there are a few more avatars of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, strictly speaking, it doesn't have much of an impact.

"Leader Lin, you have repeatedly opposed my Penglai, not only attacking my East Sea territory but also slaying three of Elder Shui's Yuan Nian avatars. If this grudge is not avenged, it will be difficult to convince the people!"

"Hahaha, stop with the pretense. Since ancient times, those who act justly have many supporters, while those who act unjustly have few. Do you think that just because you can call people to come after me, I have no friends?"

Lin Shan scoffed, while the expressions on the faces of the people behind him varied.

Those who were originally on his side were fine, but the newcomers who were forced into the role were clearly in a passive position, and now they were being called out one by one by the Holy Lord of Penglai.

“Fellow Daoist Shouzhuo, your Taixuan Holy Land was only established last ten thousand years ago. At that time, it was only because my Penglai Patriarch Zangyan gave you a break that you were able to establish your sect. Now you are actually helping the wicked to deal with the En family. Aren’t you afraid that Taixuan will be in trouble afterward?”

Lord Shouzhuo wore a bitter face. He was very unwilling to admit it, but there was nothing he could do. He was sure he would regret getting on Linshan's pirate ship, but it was too late to say anything!

They could only bow slightly, leaving everything unsaid.

The Holy Lord of Penglai snorted coldly, his icy gaze fixed once more on Divine Lord Yuming:
"The Holy Land of Yuhuo is located in the northeast of the continent. It has always kept to itself and has had no interaction with Penglai for tens of thousands of years. Now that it has come to help the Xun Gu Sect Master, does it intend to start a war with Penglai?"

Lord Yuming was much more assertive, replying neither servile nor arrogant:

"Master Lin has saved me many times, and I should repay him today. No need for further words."

"What about the Sea Demon Lord of the Tonghe Islands?"

The Holy Lord of Penglai knew each person intimately and was familiar with their background.

"Did you get permission from your tribe's leader, the Water Demon of the Qinghe River, to come and support the Xun Gu Sect without authorization?"

The Demon Lord of the Vast Ocean stepped forward and retorted with unwavering force!

"You need not worry about that. My affairs are unrelated to the forces behind me."

“good good”

Seeing that these people were unyielding and determined to align themselves with the Xun Gu Sect, the Holy Lord of Penglai had no choice but to turn against them. Even if it involved other forces outside, he would seize this golden opportunity to wipe them out!
Seeing that the second Grandmaster-level formation was ready, and another layer of sky-blue light curtain opened, enveloping the entire Tianfu Mountain, he felt even more at ease, knowing that the Xun Gu Sect members would not be able to escape today.

At this point, one of the opposing party disagreed:
"Lord of Penglai, why did you ask them but not me?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was none other than the Venerable Burning Fire, Chi Hong!
The man looked over, his eyes bloodshot and panting, clearly resentful and feeling slighted.

The Holy Lord of Penglai gave a casual, offhand reply.

"Burning Fire Venerable Chi Hong, a lackey of the Black Lotus Sect, I know you, you mere wagging-tail dog, not worthy of my attention."

"you"

Chi Hong was furious and wanted to rush forward to fight, but he regretted that he was not strong enough.

But who knew that his outburst would upset yet another person!
"Lord of Penglai, you've told them all, why not me?"

Jian Guhan, with an arrogant expression, walked to the front of the stage with his sword in his arms.

The Holy Lord of Penglai smiled contemptuously and immediately exposed his background.

"Sword Saint Ma Yuanjue's little disciple, your master has been captured by the Shangxiao Sword Sect and thrown into the Nine Revolutions Taiyuan Furnace to be refined for many years until he is almost turned into pus. You still have the mind to come to the Ancient Sect to join in the fun. Tsk tsk tsk, should I say you are pathetic or lamentable!"

"What???"

Upon hearing this, Jian Guhan was thrown into a panic. He never expected that his master, who had been missing for so long, would be captured by the Shangxiao Sword Sect again!

Lin Shan held him down and told him not to panic.

"Don't worry, once I'm free, I'll personally go to the Shangxiao Sword Sect and rescue your master! Anyway, he's been locked in that furnace more than once or twice, and he's still alive and well, isn't he?"

The Holy Lord of Penglai laughed and refuted him: "I'm afraid you won't live to see that day when you have time. Today, Tianfu Mountain will be the burial place for you!"

At this very moment, the third Grandmaster-level formation was completed.

A water-green light curtain rose into the air, forming a trio with the previous blue and sky-blue lights, completely sealing off the Xun Gu Sect and completing the prelude to trapping them!

"Sect Leader Lin, you really have some nerve. With the army pressing in, you just sit there watching my Holy Land disciples set up their formation without moving an inch. Are you being arrogant or cowardly?"

Lin Shan shook his head nonchalantly, glancing at the void above his head beyond the world. There, the magnificent fireworks had already dissipated, the battle between the Azure Lotus Fairy and the Pure Lotus Hermit had ended, and their true forms were chasing each other from beyond the heavens.

"It doesn't matter, these formations are not important, we never intended to escape anyway."

"Not running away? Then we have a deal: nobody's allowed to leave!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, the Holy Lord of Penglai glanced at the void beyond the sky, and then waved his hand to send his entire army to charge forward. Tens of thousands of troops from Penglai, the Sea People, and the Sea Clan galloped and roared!

Nearly thirty Nascent Soul stage cultivators around him all mobilized, transforming into rainbow light and moving like swimming dragons, unleashing all their supernatural powers and spiritual treasures, showing their full confidence!
Half of these sea creatures came in their true forms, while some sent out several of their primordial avatars. The entire East Sea had come out in full force!

Compared to the Xun Gu Sect, which has only ten members at most, the number of people is three times less. How can they fight?

Everyone on Lin Shan's side had a solemn look in their eyes. They gritted their teeth and their hands were trembling. They knew that they were at a disadvantage and there was no way to retreat. There was nowhere left to hide in this vast world. The only option was to fight to the death!

"kill!"

The two sides sensed something was wrong as soon as they met.

Because, centered on Linshan, a force field covered in gray ripples is quietly spreading, unknowingly pulling everyone into a magical battlefield.

At first, they thought it was an illusion array, but the malevolent aura and mist were so real that they vaguely thought it was a blessed land.

But when the Fiend Emperor appeared with nearly twenty Nascent Soul stage Fiend Soul Puppets, instantly wiping out the numbers of both sides, the discerning Penglai Saint Master suddenly realized something was wrong!

"This...this...this...could it be a domain? You actually hid so many people inside a domain!" (End of Chapter)
