Chapter 688: Congenital Spiritual Embryo, Accidental Discovery

The monster had no time to dodge and suddenly enlarged its claws to slap forward, but it was no match for its opponent and only a crisp sound of bone breaking was heard in the air.

"Ke Ling Ling~"

He fell straight down, crashed several times down the mountain and rolled into the ditch.

"Owner!"

As soon as the three evil spirit brothers saw the man in black outside, they recognized Lin Shan through the contract sensing, and each of them had a look of surprise on their faces.

Lin Shan didn't even look down, he flew directly into Jin Yao Peak on the rainbow.

"You dare to invade my Kun Sect with this kind of bastard?"

When all the disciples in the mountain saw that the leader of Kun Sect, who had been missing for so long, had finally returned, they all shouted loudly and their faces were filled with joy!
"The leader is mighty!"

The army of evil spirits and the army of demon dogs were confronting each other below. The seven mysterious caves were still motionless in the air. As long as the supply of mana here was not stopped, an endless stream of evil spirits would jump out.

The three evil spirit brothers rushed out of the mountain protection formation and rushed down the mountain to find the magic gold-level magic dog, wanting to suck its blood and flesh.

Seeing that the situation was clear, the disciples in the sect went out to counterattack under the leadership of their teacher.

"Master!"

Li Yuanjie came forward. He was still in the late stage of foundation building and it seemed that he was not far from the golden elixir stage. However, this door was not so easy to knock on.

Ever since he followed Lin Shan to conquer the Star-Swallowing Sect in the Star-Swallowing Mountain Range and avenged his great hatred and took back the remnants of the Guo State, he has concentrated on settling down in the Jin Yao Peak of the Chu State and developing intelligence work for the Kun Sect.

After Luanchun broke through the Jindan stage, he had to go out and act as the face of the sect, so the affairs of the sect were basically handed over to him.

"Where's Luanchun?"

Lin Shan asked him casually as he walked into the Blood Pond Hall.

"The Luan Protector is at the front line, joining the Nine Lights Alliance to resist the invasion of the Beixian Fort and the Wild Bear Gang."

Li Yuanjie hesitated for a moment and reported Brother Ji's actions again.

Lin Shan paused and scratched his ears after hearing this.

"What did you say? A chicken led its disciples to attack Huoyao Peak?"

Not to mention that the battle is in full swing on the front line, you are stealing someone's home behind their back, which is morally untenable. The key is that your own home has been attacked. If I don't come back, what will happen to Jin Yaofeng?
He couldn't understand Brother Ji's train of thought, so after thinking about it, he decided to wait and see.

Because the monsters that just attacked Jin Yao Peak came from unknown sources and it is unclear whether there will be any follow-up, it would not be wise to leave easily to find Brother Ji now.

He needs to ensure the safety of the base here and stay here for the time being to see what happens next.

"Those monsters just now are my subordinates!"

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the Star Mansion.

Lin Shan trembled, and three people and a monster appeared. Li Yuanjie was almost frightened and quickly took a few steps back.

The little fox girl held the soul-locking pot in her arms, pulled out the cork, and the soul of the Demon Dog King floated out.

Ke Jizi, Xiyin Cave Master, and Taoist Zhiyu also saw him for the first time, and especially when they heard him speak, they all exclaimed in disbelief:

"Nascent Soul Demon Soul!"

Lin Shan sat on the throne at the end of the Blood Pool Hall. There were still a few chicken feathers scattered on the throne, which he destroyed casually. He secretly blamed Brother Ji for not being careful enough. What if such a personal item was picked up and cursed by someone?
It seems that I have to remind it after I come back that the human cultivation world is not the same as the demon world.

"What do you mean? Why would your subordinates attack my Jin Yao Peak?"

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord took a look at the blood pool, sensed a familiar aura in it, and thought for a while before he understood the whole thing.

"It turns out that the person in Chu Dongnan who ruined my plan, destroyed the Rong Sect and occupied the blood pool, was actually you!"

"What do you mean, you supported the Rong Sect?"

Lin Shan frowned, he didn't expect there was this layer.

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord shook his head and told him that it was not all.

"I was just making arrangements in various places. Chu Dongnan happened to take a fancy to the Rong Sect, so he rewarded the leader of the Rong Sect with a drop of blood and gave him a magic dog to breed and grow stronger."

"You destroyed him, but you didn't take over his loyalty and work for me. Of course, I have to investigate what happened."

"Some time ago, I asked my subordinates to lead a team to Chudongnan for investigation. I guess this army was temporarily assembled from the surrounding area. That monster at the peak of the golden elixir is the inspector here."

There is a lot of information contained in it, but Lin Shan quickly grasped its profound meaning.

He had eliminated the remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord from the human cultivation world, but had not taken over the job responsibilities of the leader of the Rong Cult in time, so he attracted attention.

Of course, it is also possible that the Demon Dog Lord had contact with the Kun Cult, but during the time when he was away, Brother Ji "ungratefully" turned them down.

That's why there are Monster Inspectors who gather the nearby army of demon dogs and lead the attack.

"Then you later."

He didn't know whether this matter would ever end or what kind of trouble would come next.

"Don't worry about it for now, you can put it to rest and focus on your development."

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord told him that Marshal Gu under his command would definitely seize the time to consolidate his position after his death and eliminate the influence he had left behind. After digesting all the forces, he would then try to maintain internal stability and external peace.

This little thing of Chu Dongnan's was not a big deal in the eyes of a Yuanying stage cultivator.

It can only be regarded as a small episode, after all, the plate is so big.

"Of course, you must make good use of this blood pool to train an army of demon dogs of your own."

Lin Shan glanced at it indifferently.

"Belong to me? I'm afraid not!"

"Your bloodline has been catalyzed. It is easy to control them. In the end, it is just to cultivate your power."

"I saved up all this with great difficulty, and now it has become your bargaining chip."

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord is very thick-skinned and doesn't care about being exposed.

"This is a mutually beneficial thing. I can help you train and fight, and you can provide me with the shelter and resources I need. After I recover my cultivation, I will take you to the Nascent Soul stage."

"okay!"

Lin Shan waved his hand and stopped talking to it about these nonsense.

"There are so many monsters out there, do you want to capture them and expand your army?"

"Right on my mind!"

The remaining soul of the Demon Dog Lord went out. The little fox girl received instructions from Lin Shan and stayed with the Soul-Locking Pot closely, keeping a close eye on it.

The three evil spirit brothers outside were also secretly instructed, so they were not afraid that the old guy would escape.

Lin Shan turned around and preached to the newcomer:

"My three Taoist brothers, this is my base camp in Chu State, the Kun Sect of the Nine Lights Golden Light Peak. When the real leader comes back, he will naturally settle everything."

Ke Jizi, Xiyin Cave Master, and Taoist Zhiyu all agreed.

Li Yuanjie got acquainted with the three people and took over Lin Shan's Xing Mansion, which housed several hundred disciples and apprentices brought from the State of Jin by the three families.

They went down to register and allocate caves for settlement. Half an hour passed.

The three evil brothers came back, and they were all burping from eating so much that they had trouble floating.

"Rogue,"

"Received,"

"Ru,"

"See Master!"

Lin Shan looked at these three guys. Their meals had obviously improved a lot since they hadn't been with him. He didn't know where they often ate, but now they were almost at the middle stage of the Golden Core!

Jian Dan let the three of them meet the sapling of the ancient phantom tree and the void butterfly, but the two were sleeping and transforming, so they couldn't say hello to them.

After a while.

Li Yuanjie sent someone to report that he had subdued an army of more than 8,000 demon dogs, most of which were injured and disabled. He was organizing his disciples to participate in their treatment on the mountainside.

If this force can be used well, it will indeed be a considerable fighting force.

He walked out of the hall, looked at the distant mountains, and overlooked the mess on the entire peak. He couldn't help but sigh at the turbulent times.

A colorful light flew over the sky.

“Huh~~Huahuahua~~~”

The huge wind pressure blew up the leaves all over the sky as it descended.

Brother Ji spread his wings, supported his true form as a demon, and finally flew back with Luanchun and many disciples on his back.

"Ohhh! You kid, you're finally back!"

When he saw Lin Shan, Brother Ji became very excited. He turned over and threw everyone down. He jumped up and down, retracted his real body and became smaller, and came to his shoulder.

"Where have you been? Why are you not at home when I get here?"

Lin Shan and Luan Chun nodded and greeted each other. The latter took a group of disciples and went downstairs to treat their injuries and settle them down.

When Brother Ji talked about this, he sighed continuously, with his head drooping listlessly.

"Alas, I went to attack Huoyao Peak, and I had already taken it! But the front line collapsed, and Beixian Fort and the Wild Bear Gang marched straight in and drove me out again."

"Oh? The frontline was defeated. When did that happen?"

Lin Shan had a premonition that the situation was serious. Li Yuanjie had clearly said that the front line was in a standoff, so how could it suddenly collapse?
Brother Ji had obviously talked to Luanchun and understood what happened and the outcome, so he told him everything.

It turned out that the Jiuyao Peak Alliance was originally quite powerful and had been able to hold off external forces for several months. However, due to Zhu Duiyou's visit, Luohou Peak and Tuyao Peak were stabbed in the back one after another, causing the alliance's morale to become unstable and was taken advantage of by Beixian Fort and the Wild Bear Gang.

The old Nightmare Demon turned against the alliance and caused heavy losses, resulting in heavy casualties.

Luanchun was able to escape with the support of Jindan Zhenren from Shuiyao Peak.

The two pursuing troops took advantage of the situation and divided into two groups, marching straight in, one attacking Muyao Peak and the other attacking Huoyao Peak.

Brother Ji had just conquered Huoyao Peak when he was attacked by the man from Xiongshan.

Its two wings were no match for four hands, so it had to rely on its speed advantage and escape with the disciples of Kun Sect. On the way back, it met Luanchun, and they returned together.

Afterwards, intelligence from afar continued to arrive.

It turns out that the third elder of Tuyao Peak who attacked Luohou Peak in the rear, and the second in command of Huoyao Peak who attacked Tuyao Peak in the rear, were undercover agents of Beixian Fort and Wild Bear Gang respectively!
He had been secretly instigated to rebel several years ago!
Now, taking advantage of the tense situation on the front line and the emptiness inside, they launched a sneak attack, sowed discord, affected the fighting spirit, and disintegrated the Jiuyao Alliance in one fell swoop!

After the homes of Luohou Peak and Tuyao Peak were robbed, they should have been sealed off and no one should have been left alive, but they deliberately let a few people escape to report the news.

Zhu Duiyou's timing of visiting happened to be when he calculated that the two messengers were about to arrive at the front line, so he arrived early, pretending to check the fortune and making a mystery, in order to deal a fatal blow to the major Jindan monks in the alliance!
This caused people to separate, intrigue, fight against each other, and become suspicious of each other.

While taking care of the rear, we also had to deal with the joint attack from both sides on the front line, so the battle was naturally won!

Zhu Duiyou went on the mission alone, disregarding his own life, which shows his strategy and courage!

Mr. Bei arranged the demon army formation in advance and hid in the clouds to provide support, and did not let him down.

On the contrary, the former Nightmare Master of Luohou Peak, who was dissatisfied with his own people stealing his home, turned against his side in the battle, which became one of the important factors in the victory of this battle. After later learning that the third elder of Tuyao Peak who stole his home was an insider of Beixianbao, his expression was quite interesting!

But he had already surrendered, and it was too late to regret now. He could only hold his nose and follow Beixianbao all the way to the end.
The entire process was closely linked, and Jiuyao Peak was severely damaged as a result. It will probably be difficult for it to organize a decent resistance in the future.

Coupled with the fall of Muyao Peak and Huoyao Peak, four out of nine peaks have been lost. Any discerning person can see that the situation is precarious and shaky. I'm afraid that in the end they will all become the territory of Beixian Castle and the Wild Bear Gang!
Lin Shan let out a long sigh after listening to this.

The changes in the world of demonic cultivation are really rapid, different every day, and the situation can change drastically if you are not careful.

When he left, the Wild Bear Gang was still fighting for territory with Beixian Castle outside, while Jiuyao Peak was aloof from the world and watched the fight from the top of the mountain.

It's only been a few years now, but the enemy has already broken in and the situation is almost irreversible!
"No, the Third Elder of Tuyao Peak and the Second Master of Huoyao Peak are both insiders of the external enemy, so they are going to attack others. Why are you joining in the fun?"

He didn't understand why Brother Ji wanted to attack Huoyao Peak. Aren't you just bored?

Could it be that you are in contact with those two outside?

Brother Ji raised his head, the flesh under his iron beak shaking back and forth, and he defended himself with confidence.

"How can I be the same as them? I have my own reasons!"

"Why don't you know that the Jiuyao front line is in the alliance? Luanchun was in the camp at that time. Aren't you afraid that you will implicate him?"

Lin Shan really didn’t understand. This guy was being too outrageous.

Brother Ji flapped his wings and took out a stone egg and placed it in front of Lin Shan.

"Do you still remember this innate spirit fetus?"

"Ok?"

Lin Shan looked at it carefully for a while and had a vague impression that it seemed that when they were in Lu State, Brother Ji, together with the Black Skull Demon Lord and the Pig-headed Monster, the three brothers went to the deep mountains and old forests in the east of Lu and found it according to the clues left by the Lord of Xuchan Cave.

Later, no matter how hard he tried to figure it out, and since there was no way to put it into the storage space, Lin Shan stuffed it into the nest of the Rong insect to gather dust.

When leaving Kun Sect, Brother Ji asked for it back from him, saying that he wanted to stay and incubate it slowly.

Although he couldn't understand the principle of 'rooster sitting on eggs', he let it play with it if it wanted to, and Lin Shan didn't delve into it further.

After so many years, is it possible that life can still exist there?
"I heard a piece of news that there is a fire cave in Huoyao Peak, which was used by the master of Huoyao Peak to hatch beast eggs. His current Jindan-stage spirit beast couldn't break out of its shell at first, and later it was hatched after being tempered in the fire cave for 49 days!"

Brother Chicken flapped his wings. After hearing the news, he took it very seriously and secretly planned how to seize the fire cave and hatch the innate spiritual fetus.

The result was good, it really gave it an opportunity!
But the tragic thing was that just after they captured Huoyao Peak, Master Xiongshan arrived with a large force of the Wild Bear Gang and the Wudao Sect and drove them away again.

“Lin Shan, this is an innate spiritual fetus. If it is born, it will definitely be an extraordinary existence. It can even grow to the Nascent Soul stage at the lowest level! Aren’t you tempted?”

Brother Ji shouted excitedly, speaking with certainty.

"I was in that inflamed cave and I could clearly feel something unusual happening inside the egg. I'm not lying to you!"

"Oh, really?"

Lin Shan didn't think anything of it at first, and thought it was just playing house, but when he heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore!

If the innate spiritual fetus can really be hatched, then the Kouyan Cave must be taken back at all costs!
