Immortal Road.

"!!!"

In an instant, the world became clear.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle below couldn't help but look up, their expressions revealing disbelief.

"The Electric Eel Venerable was a renowned lightning cultivator in our East Sea, and he was killed in just one move?"

"It was killed by... a chicken?"

"What's wrong with chickens? Do you look down on chickens?!"

"This is an unparalleled prodigy of our Peacock Demon Clan, a descendant of our ancestors. It is said that he inherited the true spirit bloodline of the Pleiades Star Lord. Do you even know who the Pleiades Star Lord is? You bumpkin!"

The demon race and the sea race were arguing and bickering. You know what, the sea race also has a long history, and there are quite a few knowledgeable elders among them.

"Are you talking about that Pleiades Star Lord in the heavens who is clearly a true spirit, yet covets wealth and glory and willingly becomes a lackey of the Star Court?"

"Who doesn't know that the Pleiades Star Lord is the most obsessed with officialdom among the celestial beings? He is a disgrace and a scoundrel among the celestial beings. He abandoned his noble status and used back channels and money to enter the Star Court. He bought his way up to the high position of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, becoming a laughing stock in all the heavens and myriad realms!"

"That news is outdated. It's said that things have changed drastically in the Upper Realm. The Pleiades Star Lord is no longer holding a post in the Star Court. Instead, he has latched onto a high-ranking official in the Celestial Court and is now serving as the harbinger of dawn in the Bright Palace in the East!"

"What? There's actually such a thing?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! He possesses the true spirit bloodline of the Rising Sun, and he still has the nerve to show it off?"

Good heavens, these sea creatures are speaking with such conviction that the demon race, being mostly uncultured, are completely bewildered.

All they knew was that the Pleiades Star Lord was a celestial spirit. Whatever that spirit might be, he was just awesome!

Our young master carries the bloodline of the true spirit, so isn't he bound to take off?
How did it become a disgrace to all the heavens and the myriad realms in other people's mouths? Could it really be like that?
"You're asking for it!!!"

The chicken in the treetop had no idea. It had always been very proud of its origins, but now that someone was talking behind its back and criticizing it, it was bound to be furious.

"A bunch of ants from the lower realm, knowing nothing, how dare they speak ill of the celestial officials? Aren't they afraid of being punished by heaven and having their entire clan wiped out!"

"Haha, you stupid chicken, go read more books!"

The sea creatures all over the mountains and plains were shouting and yelling, which greatly angered the peacock demon clan. The two sides not only fought each other physically, but also verbally!

When a powerful sea creature died, Nascent Soul stage cultivators immediately rushed to its aid, demonstrating an extremely rapid response.

"My son, my son died so tragically!"

An old man with a dark face was holding a large black fish, which turned out to be the dead Electric Eel Venerable. He was crying bitterly and searching for the murderer.

"Who, who killed my son?"

"The ancestor of electric eels is that chicken on the branch!"

When a sea creature pointed it out, the Electric Eel Ancestor immediately turned red-eyed, threw his beloved son's corpse to his subordinates, and personally charged over.

"Who are you, you monster? Who killed my son, state your name!"

"Peacock Demon Clan, Ji Wuque."

Chicken Brother spread his wings and flew into the sky. His wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, and he soared up like a roc. The key thing is that since breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, two vertical white lines have appeared on his bulging chicken breast, one on the left and one on the right, like straps hanging on his body.

“You sea people dared to wage war without declaring war and cause trouble in my demon territory. You should be prepared to shed blood. I will show you what the real Five-Colored Divine Light is.”

"Que'er, be careful!"

The Peacock King below was worried about it and couldn't help but call out its nickname.

But soon, a new powerful sea creature rushed up to restrain them, and the entire mountainside was stained with blood, a truly gruesome scene of flying flesh and blood.

The battle in the sky was even more dangerous!

The Electric Eel Ancestor, taking advantage of the fact that this chicken had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, naturally tried to bully it with his superior strength. However, he had run into a tough opponent. In just over a hundred moves, he was swept aside by the Five-Colored Divine Light.

His magical abilities were repeatedly rejected, each time failing to materialize, leaving him terrified and sweating profusely.

"How is that possible? You're clearly a chicken, so how come you possess the innate divine abilities of the Peacock Royal Family and have even awakened to the level of a great divine ability? Could you be a bastard?"

"Pah! Pah! Pah! You're the bastard!"

Chicken Brother's eyes blazed with fire, and streaks of Taibai Golden Flame flew wildly in all directions, piercing through the space in their path. Under the sunlight, they split into countless light grids, trapping him inside and burning him in the flames!
Despite his best efforts, the Electric Eel Venerable could not break free, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"You just wait, until my true form descends."

"go to hell!"

With a loud shout, this primordial avatar was killed on the spot by Brother Chicken's true form in just ten breaths.

Upon realizing the danger, the sea creatures below lost all will to continue their attack and fled in terror, abandoning their opponents!

"Oh no! Our East China Sea electric eel ancestor has been killed by a chicken!"

"This Pleiades star official is something else, let's get out of here while the wind blows!"

"With the White Whale Ancestor, a powerful being in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm of the sea race, stationed behind us, we'll be saved once we escape to the main camp."

"Let Penglai deal with this chicken another day; we sea creatures can't handle it!"

"Penglai is dealing with the Red Lotus Demon, this chicken probably won't have time to hunt us down."

These sea creatures shouted and made a ruckus, and while they were running away, they also knew how to confuse the crowd, which shows that they were all very clever and much more intelligent than the demon race.

Upon hearing this, Chicken Brother was indeed concerned about the Red Lotus Ancestor. Instead of chasing after the defeated soldiers, he took to the air and prepared to leave.

The Peacock King shouted from below:

"Where are you going?"

The streak of light in the sky showed no sign of stopping, but left behind a single sentence.

"Clan leader, you stay here and guard the house. I'll go check if Ancestor Red Lotus is alright. *Click!*"

A bolt of golden lightning struck down instantly, and Brother Chicken fell to the ground. He was intercepted by a figure rushing from afar, who turned out to be Lin Fan!
Chicken Brother rubbed his head, wincing in pain, and yelled:

"Ouch! Lin Fan? What are you doing!"

"I'm pulling you back from going to your death. Pack your things now and come with me."

"No, where are you taking me?"

"Never mind all that, it'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

Lin Fan suddenly appeared and immediately tried to persuade it to leave. His hurried and flustered tone made everyone's heart race. At this moment, the Peacock King below also flew up.

"Nephew Lin Fan, you've finally arrived! How's the situation outside?"

"Uncle Peacock, the situation is very bad. Penglai has joined forces with the aquatic creatures of the East Sea to launch a major invasion. This time they are serious and want to wipe out all the forces of our Great Song Dynasty! You should lead the Peacock Clan to migrate to the northwest immediately."

"Has the situation really become this urgent?"

The Peacock King hesitated slightly. This was land rented by their royal family, and they were reluctant to simply abandon it. However, Lin Fan had come from afar to deliver the message, indicating that it was truly a matter of life and death.

The sheer size of the sea creatures just now gave us a clue.

"What about Que'er? Do you want to come with me?"

"No, I must go visit the Red Lotus Ancestor; he must be fighting a fierce battle!"

Chicken struggled to break free, but Lin Fan grabbed its comb with both hands and it couldn't jump out no matter what it did. It was so anxious that it flapped its wings frantically in place.

"Don't get agitated, listen to me. I just came from the ancestor's place. The old man asked me to tell you, whatever you do, don't go to save it!"

"Why? Our ancestor is in trouble, how can we stand by and watch him die?" "Your going will be of no use. The Holy Lord of Penglai has brought several sea clan ancestors and more than ten primordial spirit avatars with him. Half of them are at the late stage of the primordial spirit realm. How can we fight them!"

Lin Fan's voice was deafening, instantly waking Brother Chicken.

The Peacock King gasped in shock upon hearing this. Despite its great supernatural powers, it trembled slightly and asked again in disbelief.

"What did you say? Ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators?"

"Yes, it was only under the protection of the Ancestor that I managed to escape with great difficulty!"

Lin Fan's eyes were glistening with tears, but he held back his sobs and held Chicken Brother down tightly to keep him from acting rashly. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

"Our ancestor instructed me to take you to the northern state of Lu to find my cousin, so that we can reunite at the Xun Gu Sect."

"If there's enough time, we should also bring along the great demon Qu Gong, Demon Dog Lord, Venerable Yu She, and others along the way. We absolutely cannot allow Penglai to defeat them one by one!"

"We absolutely cannot let our ancestor sacrifice himself in vain. We must preserve our bodies to serve a purpose and avenge him in the future!"

"Ah~~~~"

Chicken Bro suddenly roared!

"You treacherous villains of Penglai, all the tribes of the East Sea, I swear I will not become a demon until this grudge is avenged!"

Hearing this, how could it not know that the fate of the Red Lotus Ancestor was probably already foreseeable? The demon race of the thousands of miles of Luosong Mountain Range was entirely supported by the Ancestor.

Once the Ancestor falls, the cultivation world of the Great Song Dynasty will also collapse!

"Where is Lin Shan? Where is he? Why didn't we notify him to come and save the day?"

"My cousin is busy participating in the war between the two immortal factions. Penglai probably seized this opportunity. Almost all the holy lands in this world are involved, so they don't have time to interfere and ruin their plans. That's why they can draw forces from all over the continent to launch attacks in all directions."

"Penglai has already attacked our doorstep, and he's still participating in some faction war?"

Chicken Brother was so angry that he wanted to confront Lin Shan face to face, but Lin Fan could only sigh and say that there was nothing he could do. At this moment, he was the only one who could remain calm.

"Then go find the Ancient Sect and confront him face to face. Don't waste your time here."

"Where is the ancestor? Is he just going to leave him here and ignore him?"

At this moment, the Peacock King hurriedly came up to persuade the Chicken Brother, telling him not to act rashly, but to preserve his useful body so that he could avenge the Red Lotus Ancestor in the future.

Penglai has clearly chosen this moment to launch a purge against the entire continent. As a wise demon, its patriarch can naturally see that the Xun Gu Sect, the Sea Serpent Clan, and even the Demon Dog Lord and the Great Demon Qu Gong may all be targeted by Penglai.

Everyone is too busy taking care of themselves to count on any support.

"Hurry up and leave, or it will be too late!"

After much persuasion, Brother Chicken had no choice but to follow Lin Fan, and the two escorted the Peacock Demon Clan northward.

Along the way, one could see the flames of war raging below. The Luosong Mountains were a battlefield, with large numbers of demons fleeing the forests and forced to enter human territory.

The scale of the carnage was unprecedented. Penglai and the East Sea had joined forces, intending to wipe out the entire mountain range!

In western Shandong, we seek out ancient religions.

Lin Shan opened his eyes, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Stepping out of the secret room and into the center of the courtyard, I looked around at the sky. The sun was shining brightly at noon, but the temperature was unusually low.

"Master, you've come out?"

He turned around and saw that it was the little fox girl.

The only person who could freely enter and leave his cave was this former maid, but he hadn't seen her for quite some time, and he wondered why she had suddenly come today.

"I heard from Lü Xiuming the other day that you went back to the Human-Faced Fox Clan in the Devouring Star Mountains to visit relatives?"

"Hmm, why is Steward Lü bringing this up?"

The little fox girl was somewhat puzzled, but her face looked a little off, as if she had something on her mind, which was slightly different from her innocent demeanor before.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Lin Shan immediately noticed something was wrong.

"No, absolutely not! I just missed you, so I came over for a bit. It's about time I left now."

As she spoke, the little fox girl inexplicably lifted her leg to leave.

"and many more!"

Lin Shan stopped her directly, staring at the sachet at her waist, and shouted.

"Who is hiding inside? Why don't they show themselves?"

"Hehehe, as expected, I couldn't hide it from Leader Lin."

An aged voice echoed from within, and a wisp of primordial energy drifted out from it. To Lin Shan's surprise, it was...
"Venerable Zouwu? What are you doing here?"

The little fox girl's eyes immediately reddened, and she knelt down in front of Lin Shan.

"Young master, please don't blame me. It was the Venerable One who threatened me with my mother and forced me to bring it here. I had no choice but to come, as it holds the lives of the entire Devouring Star demon race in its hands!"

"Hehe, little fox, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever threaten your mother?"

This time, Venerable Zouwu was much more amicable. Last time, he came with great force, wanting to argue with Lin Shan about the death of the Yuanlu Demon King, but was directly shut down.

They came without prior notice this time, which suggests they have something to rely on.

"Speak! What did you do to the Qinghe Demon King? Look how much my maid is crying! How dare you bully someone from my Xun Gu Sect? Do you want to die?"

Lin Shan's tone suddenly turned icy, and a murderous intent enveloped the entire courtyard.

The Venerable Zouwu smiled, showing no fear or worry. After all, it was just a wisp of primordial thought that had come, so he wouldn't be heartbroken if it was lost.

"Don't worry, Master Lin. Qinghe Demon King is my capable assistant. I won't do anything to her. I'm only here to make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

"When I arrived, I saw a Nascent Soul stage junior from the Xun Gu Sect with a deer head and twelve branched antlers. I think his name was something like Daoist Lu Que, right? He seems somewhat familiar?"

Lin Shan could hear the sarcastic tone in the other party's words, which meant that he had probably discovered clues about the death of the Yuanlu Demon King. However, things were different now. He could kill a mere demon race master and that was it. What could you do about it?

"Oh? Venerable Zouwu has come to interrogate me? You might as well just lead the Star Devouring Demon Clan to declare war on me. I'll be waiting for you."

"Hey, Master Lin, look at you, still got that temper. Young people are so hot-tempered, they're ready to fight at the drop of a hat. Why don't you sit down and talk it out?"

The Venerable Zouwu went straight to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, asking Lin Shan to negotiate calmly as well.

"I can let bygones be bygones regarding the killing of Yuanlu, but there is one condition I hope you will seriously consider, as it concerns the safety of everyone in your Xun Gu Sect."

"Oh!"

Lin Shan slammed his hand on the table, showing absolutely no respect for it.

"Who do you think you are, daring to barge into my cave without permission and demand to negotiate? You're not worthy!"

He opened his Star-Slaying Demon Eyes, looked up and surveyed his surroundings, his eyes sweeping across the sky like sharp swords.

"If I'm not mistaken, you found a powerful backer, which is why you suddenly feel so confident."

Elder Shui, stop hiding! I know it's you, come out! (End of Chapter)
