Immortal Road.

Chapter 663: The current plan, Qinglong shows off his power
"Are you talking about Uncle Zi Chengqian?"

Hao Yun reacted quickly and guessed who he was talking about immediately.

Dharma Protector Wu nodded in agreement and offered his future plans in a mature and prudent tone.

"Demon Lord Kurong took us in because he believed that the young master would achieve great things in the future! It has nothing to do with us."

"Now that the young master has passed away, Lord Kurong is looking for other talents. People like us are dispensable and useless."

"Besides receiving Yu Yin's protection for nothing, there is actually no return or benefit. Why would the Demon Lord keep someone idle to help us shoulder the pressure?"

"That's why his eldest and third disciples have been suppressing us so frequently recently. They have two purposes!"

The guardian Wu had a keen eye and hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

"One is to force us to integrate, break us up or completely submit to them, stop being independent, and eliminate the unrealistic delusion of rebuilding the Jiuyou Sect."

"Second, it will force us to leave on our own initiative. This will not only not damage the reputation of the Demon Lord, but also relieve the pressure from all sides."

"The situation is now like this. The young master has fallen, and the group is leaderless. I am at the mercy of others. I have no choice but to leave!"

"And if we want to continue to maintain the independence of the Jiuyou Sect, we must first rely on a backer, and then abandon everything we have, hide our strength and bide our time, and wait for the right time."

"What the hell are you waiting for!"

Suddenly, there was a curse from the side, accompanied by the sound of overturning the table, and wine jugs, wine cups and jade plates rolled to the ground with a clang.

This attracted the attention of people around.

It turned out to be the Iron Guardian!

Although this old man was white-haired and in his eighties, he stood up at this moment, with a frown on his face and a loud voice!
"At this time, instead of trying your best to preserve the Young Master's legacy, you are still thinking about the future. Do you think there is a future?"

"The young master is gone. What great things can we accomplish with you and me now?"

"Do you expect this kid to revive the Jiuyou Sect in the future? Does he have the ability to do so?"

Hao Yun had an awkward look on his face. He was sandwiched between the two people and had no right to interrupt. After all, he was only in the Foundation Establishment stage and his talent was indeed average.

"I really don't know what the young master saw in you at the beginning. You have no talent, no qualifications, and you just rely on a vague luck. The key is that you are not lucky either."

The Iron Protector was so disappointed in Hao Yun that he blushed and wished he could bury his head in the ground.

The guardian Wu was also pointed at and scolded by him.

"At least we two old ministers are here to help him. If we wait until we are old and buried, who will be able to help him?"

"Only by himself? He won't even be able to protect himself!"

"We must fight now, and use every possible means to protect the foundation that the young master has worked so hard to build. Especially everything that Demon Lord Kuruo has, we cannot lose anything!"

"It's easy to lose something, but it's hard to find it again!"

These words were obviously from the heart. It was not easy for Young Master Jiuyou to lead his subordinates to where they are today. If they just gave up and turned around and led the team away from here to join Zi Chenggan, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Everything that Young Master Jiuyou did during his lifetime was actually to break away from Zi Chenggan and Yuanmo Sect and become independent. Dharma Protector Wu is equivalent to taking a historical step backwards. How could Dharma Protector Tie not be angry?

"Young Master, what do you think about this?"

Dharma Protector Wu knew that he could not win the argument with Dharma Protector Tie, and his own proposal to join Zi Chenggan was out of selfish motives, so there was no need to argue at length here, all he needed to do was to convince Hao Yun.

Hao Yun himself had no opinion. After all, he was only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with limited vision and knowledge, and it was difficult for him to make judgments that suited his own opinion.

On the one hand, he felt that the Iron Protector had always been loyal, and what he said was definitely for the sake of Jiuyoumen. On the other hand, he himself had been subjected to too much exclusion and pressure in the past few days, and he felt that he really could not stay here any longer.

He is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If someone dislikes him one day, a random assassin might kill him instantly!
He was torn and had difficulty making a decision regarding his own safety and future.

The noise they made here was quite loud and attracted a lot of attention. A man with long braided hair and sharp eyes walked over to the stage. As soon as he arrived, he smiled and looked at the two guardians, ignoring Hao Yun in the middle.

"Iron Guardian, Wu Guardian, we are all family. What is there to be unhappy about among family members? Only by living in harmony can we achieve great things together!"

"I am also deeply saddened by Brother Wei's death. It is a pity that such a hero was destroyed in Yuxing Cave. It is really a pity. Even Master cannot let it go for a long time."

"But the dead cannot be resurrected, so you still have to look forward. Now that there is no one who can lead you to development, how about you work under me first?
"My Yanbei Fort is now strong and powerful, and there is great hope that it will inherit the master's throne in a few hundred years. If you follow me now, you will be my loyal subjects in the future. Isn't that better than if you develop on your own?"

The Iron Guardian and the Wu Guardian both refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Ku Yuzi. We in the Jiuyou Sect have our own dignity as a great sect and will not depend on anyone. Even Lord Kurong is just staying here temporarily. Don't mention this matter again!"

Ku Yuzi had just greeted him with a smile, but now he immediately became cold.

"Humph! Do you really think you can continue to pursue your independence like before? What a joke!"

"When Young Master Jiuyou was here, Master only showed some mercy to him because of his father's reputation, so he was allowed to be a little willful. Why do you do that?"

"I am willing to take you in now, which is already a great favor. If you really want to leave here, go out and see how many people want to wipe you out!"

"well said!"

Another person came over, it was none other than Ku Quanzi.

"Third Junior Brother."

"Big brother."

Ku Quanzi smiled slightly and looked over here with a friendly expression. He ignored the two old protectors and looked at Hao Yun instead.

"Young Master, you know that I don't have the strong team like my eldest brother, nor the business connections like my second brother. I am weak and powerless, but I am favored by the master."

"If you can come and help me now, it would be like giving timely assistance. The investment is far better than giving Senior Brother icing on the cake!"

"I can promise here that if I take over the Dead Tree Cliff in the future, I will definitely help you rebuild the Nine Nether Gate!"

"How about you wait and see?"

At this time, Hao Yun shook his head firmly. He knew that once he became a vassal of others, he would lose his autonomy. How would it be easy to become independent again in the future?
Seeing that the three men were as stubborn and hard as stones, Ku Yuzi and Ku Quanzi looked at each other with a sneer in their eyes, and walked away with a cold snort.

After they left, a loud shout suddenly came:
“Yuan Mo Sect’s direct descendant Zi Chengqian has arrived!”

"what?"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked outside.

Zi Chengqian walked in here steadily with the eyes of an eagle and the gait of a wolf, and the steps of a dragon and a tiger. Behind him were two true disciples in the Jindan stage.

The shout just now was made by the people he brought with him!
Obviously, his identity is extraordinary and he needs to make a high-profile appearance to attract the attention of the organizers. Otherwise, if he is negligent, wouldn’t it be a big joke?
"Brother Zi, welcome. I didn't expect that you would come in person this time. Please forgive us for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive us!"

Ku Yuzi and Ku Quanzi were arrogant at Jiuyoumen, but when they came to Zi Chengqian, they immediately smiled apologetically. The treatment was completely different. "It's okay. You two Taoist friends are busy and have important things to do. Please don't delay me. You continue! I'll find a place to sit for a while."

Zi Chenggan waved his hand, asked them to go on with their work, and went straight to Jiuyou Gate.

Ku Yuzi and Ku Quanzi's faces changed drastically. They thought something was wrong and wanted to stop it but they were too late.

"Hahaha, Junior-Martial-Nephew Hao Yun, we meet again."

"Uncle Zi."

Hao Yun hurriedly stood up to greet him. He knew that Zi Chenggan was the young master of Jiuyou's life and death friend, so he respected him very much and was always grateful to him.

"Please sit down. Don't be so polite."

Zi Chenggan sat down beside him and chatted with him about family matters very naturally, like a kind and honest elder.

"I also feel deeply guilty about Brother Wei's death in Yuxing's secret vault. If I hadn't been so deeply immersed in the inheritance, I would never have let such a thing happen!"

"It's too late to say anything now!"

"Brother Wei, I hope everything goes well for you down there. I swear here that I will take good care of your juniors and subordinates. Don't worry!"

"Brother Hao Yun, if you are not happy here, why not move to my place? The door of Yuan Mo Sect is always open to you!"

Hao Yun was very grateful, but he couldn't make a decision for the time being, so he had to refuse temporarily.

However, the guardian Wu beside him jumped out, contrary to his usual behavior, and repeatedly persuaded Hao Yun to take the opportunity to move out and not to stay here any longer, as he had nothing and was constrained everywhere.

The Iron Protector firmly opposed it, and the two of them gradually started to quarrel and argued fiercely.

in the distance.

Lin Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand holding the teacup paused.

"what happened?"

Someone next to him asked him what was wrong, and he shook his head slightly to indicate that nothing was wrong.

Zi Chengqian arrived, and the Star Gate device in his storage bracelet jumped slightly, but was quickly suppressed by the Void Star Disk.

The other party has no way to accurately find this place.

Because this Star Gate artifact was originally refined by the Young Master Jiuyou, and later the Young Master Jiuyou died, so this treasure became ownerless.

Zi Chengqian refined the main body of Youxing Sect, but could only vaguely feel that something was missing, and could not sense the sub-device like the young master of Jiuyou.

Lin Shan was quite confident in his ability to hide, but he was worried that this guy would instigate and persuade the people from Jiuyoumen. In addition, the protector Wu was a traitor and might abduct Hao Yun and others. He had no way to return the token to them in person.

And now, he had no choice but to watch.

Some time passed.

The number of visitors outside gradually decreased, and the branches and leaves of the giant canopy tree slowly shrank, indicating that the Withering and Flourishing Conference had officially begun.

The purpose of this conference selection is to select outstanding talents, so the first thing to start is the battle of magic!
One by one, independent cultivators came on stage and left, each displaying their magical powers in a colorful and spectacular manner.

The cheers from the audience were getting louder and louder!
Lin Shan's horizons were broadened, and he discovered that in the Demonic Kingdom, there were indeed many masters hidden without showing their abilities.

They are just free and easy on weekdays, but when they really need to stand out, no one will hold back.

There were several people on the spot who became corpses after coming out because their opponents did not deliberately control their strength!
No one off the field was surprised. In a fight, there will always be casualties. Since he dared to come up, it meant he was aware of this.

Until later, an old man killed several people in a row, his body covered in blood, which was quite horrifying.

"I'll meet you!"

A familiar figure leaped up from below and rushed over like a moth to a flame!
The old man hurriedly caught it and suddenly took a few steps back. His expression did not change, but a huge wave of emotions was surging in his heart!
"Little Qinglong!"

This person was none other than Xiao Qinglong, the abandoned disciple of the old ghost Black Dragon.

This person had been encountered in Yuxing Secret Treasure and even in the later Nine Heavens Gangfeng, and then disappeared without a trace.

I didn't expect that today, I would actually come to the meeting of Demon Lord Kuruo.

It looks like he's going all out to take the top spot!

"Ah~~ How is it possible? How did you suddenly become so powerful?"

The old man was wounded and bleeding profusely. He was defeated by Xiao Qinglong, but he was still unwilling to accept it and kept questioning him in a harsh voice.

"Go away! You are not needed here, and there is no need to embarrass your fellow practitioners."

Xiao Qinglong naturally occupied the central area, and even arrogantly shouted to everyone, asking who dared to come up and take his stage!

Two people followed suit and were knocked down without exception. One of them was even sucked into jerky!

"The Spirit Coffin Demonic Core Technique is a heaven-defying technique that can absorb essence and blood and improve cultivation. Xiao Qinglong has already reached the peak of the late Jindan stage and is only one step away from trying the Yuanying stage. He is taking this opportunity to prepare for the huge amount of essence and blood he needs to break through."

"Look, there's a bloody corpse in the coffin behind you!"

"One, two, three, four, five, nine, ten!"

"Hiss, ten blood corpses, that's ten Jindan stage fighters!"

There were many people on the field who knew what he was doing. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of their necks and broke out in cold sweats. This was too strong, simply inhuman!

No matter who goes up, they are sending him supplies, making him stronger and stronger, and giving him greater hope of breakthroughs in the future.

This kind of person is sometimes just a madman, killing people regardless of the occasion just to satisfy his own goals. Maybe even the selection of the Demon Lord is not as important as his own affairs in his eyes.

"Who else???"

The little green dragon howled wildly, his eyes were bloodshot, and a sweet smell of blood, accompanied by the breeze, blew to everyone.

The audience was silent.

No one went up to challenge him. Most of the independent cultivators valued their lives very much and would not take their lives lightly when they knew that this was an evil star.

"Brother Liansha, how about you go up and kill his arrogance?"

The White Bone Lady next to him came up quietly and stealthily, with a refreshing smile on her lips and a gleam of red apricot in her eyes. She looked at him like a pool of autumn water, full of inexplicable expectations.
