Immortal Road.

Numerous figures rushed forward, engulfing the Holy Lord of Penglai.

After a while.

A new late-stage Nascent Soul demonic puppet materialized and approached Lin Shan to pay homage.

"Owner."

Seeing that even the mighty Lord of Penglai had been assimilated into an obedient puppet, the great demon Qu Gong and the others stared wide-eyed, feeling that it was all too unreal.

I had initially thought that this battle, with the few against the many, would end in a heroic death at Tianfu Mountain. Who knew that we would win so easily? Looking back, it all feels like a dream!

"No, cousin, you should have said so sooner if you had such abilities! You've made us worry for so long!"

Lin Fan stepped forward and curiously pinched the face of the Holy Lord of Penglai. Chicken Brother even jumped on his head to defecate, repeatedly ravaging the puppet avatar.

The Holy Lord of Penglai remained unperturbed, standing quietly as they did as they pleased. After all, he was just a puppet of the domain, lacking independent thought and completely obeying Lin Shan's arrangements.

The cowardly Lord Shouzhuo was so frightened that his face turned pale, and Lord Yuming and the Demon Lord Hanhai were not much better off.

Standing before them was none other than the Holy Lord of Penglai, the ruler of the most powerful holy land in this world!
So he was turned into a puppet just like that?

Lin Shan shook his head inwardly. What was this? He hadn't even told them that in the battle just now, the Azure Lotus Fairy had been swallowed up by his own strange clone!
Of course, this is a secret, and the fewer people who know it, the better.

Because of the retreat of the Holy Lord of Penglai, Shui Lingchuan, the White Whale Ancestor, and others took the opportunity to escape, but the hundreds of thousands of Penglai and sea tribe allied troops below could not escape!

Amidst shouts of alarm, the army was routed by the Ancient Seeking Cult, the evil creatures, and the puppet army. The retreat of the high command further demoralized them, leaving them with no choice but to flee in panic or kneel in surrender.

But within this area, where can they run to even if they try?
Those who surrender will not be killed, while those who flee will be executed on the spot!
"Master, in this battle we captured over 15,000 disciples of Penglai and over 73,000 people from various sea tribes. What should we do with them?"

After cleaning up the battlefield and counting the number of people, Lü Xiuming came up to report.

Lin Shan made an arrangement on the spur of the moment:

"All the disciples of Penglai were branded with slave marks and sent to slave markets across the continent for distribution. The sea creatures were tamed into laborers and sent to mine for me!"

"As ordered."

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief. This was too ruthless; they were treating the other party like they were not human!

I'm afraid that by tomorrow, news of Penglai's defeat will spread throughout the cultivation world of the continent. When so many slaves flood the market, won't the Holy Lord of Penglai be furious?
"Brother, now that we have defeated our opponents, why don't we lead a counterattack, fight our way back to the cultivation world of the Song Dynasty, and have another rematch of the Penglai Island?"

Lin Fan was eager to fight back and strongly encouraged Lin Shan to retaliate.

Chicken Brother flapped its wings and jumped around, making the loudest noise among them. At the same time, everyone else nodded in agreement, even the outside helpers like Shouzhuo Shenjun agreed that they should fight back as soon as possible!

The main problem is that we just had a complete falling out, and I'm worried that if the Holy Lord of Penglai goes back and gets angry, he might turn around and start retaliating against the Taixuan Holy Land.
It would be better to go there early and put pressure on them, so as to avoid their own sect suffering the consequences.

"Father, I volunteer to fight!"

Qian Bu took the lead and vowed to lead his troops to conquer the East China Sea.

Chi Hong immediately jumped out. As Lin Shan's loyal underling, he wouldn't allow anyone to flatter him and beat him to it!
"Leader Lin, please let me be the vanguard to conquer the cultivation world of the Great Song Dynasty and use it as a bridgehead for our attack on the East Sea!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Bu immediately looked over. The two seemed to be subtly competing with each other, as if they had met their match.

Lin Shan pondered for a moment. Others did not know that his true form was still in the void outside the heavens. He had eliminated the Azure Lotus Fairy, but there was still the Pure Lotus Hermit he had not killed!

Under these circumstances, his primordial avatar was unable to leave his post to oversee the Xun Gu Sect, and even if the others were to unite together, it would still be difficult to destroy Penglai.

Despite the East Sea Alliance's crushing defeat today, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. At least the main bodies of Penglai Saint Lord, Shui Lingchuan, and others are still intact, and several powerful beings from the sea tribes have escaped back.

"This matter can be put aside for now. I will attack Penglai again when my main body returns. Then we will be absolutely certain of success."

He thought he could wait, but Shouzhuo Divine Lord, Yuming Divine Lord, and others were clearly a little anxious, fearing that the Holy Lord of Penglai would retaliate against their lair.

At this moment, the great demon Qu Gong stepped forward and offered a compromise suggestion.

"How about this? Let me lead everyone to fight our way back to the Song Dynasty and use that place as a springboard. As for attacking the East Sea, we'll leave that to you for now. Right now, we need to put some pressure on Penglai's doorstep and stop them from running amok. What do you think?"

Lin Shan looked around and saw Qu Gong, Lin Fan, Brother Chicken, Chi Hong, Venerable Yu She, Divine Lord Shou Zhuo, Divine Lord Yu Ming, Venerable Han Hai, plus the Demon Dog Lord and Venerable Zou Wu who were hiding beside him. There were a total of ten Nascent Soul stage warriors!
With their combined strength, they could easily protect themselves, and it seemed that containing Penglai shouldn't be a problem, so they agreed.

At this time, Qian Bu cautiously suggested returning to the Ghost Valley Holy Land to reorganize his troops in preparation for the future attack on Penglai, and Lin Shan agreed.

Now that the great war is over and Qianbu has trained his troops well, there is indeed no need for him to remain confined to his own territory.

Some time ago, the rhinoceros demon secretly sent a message back, saying that he had taken over the Ghost Valley Holy Land on the orders of the Holy Lord of Penglai. But it was just for show. In reality, Mu Yan still held power there.

Now that Penglai has been defeated, we might as well go all the way.

"Brother Qu Gong, before you go to the Great Song Dynasty, go to the Ghost Valley Holy Land first and drive away the rhinoceros demon. It can escape back to the Penglai Holy Land and become our inside man."

Qu Gong accepted the order and left with Qian Bu and the others.

"Master Lin, what about my master? When will you save him?"

Seeing that he was the only one left, Jian Guhan immediately asked about Sword Saint Ma Yuanjue, as this was what he cared about most.

"No rush. Your master has been imprisoned in a secluded place by the Shangxiao Sword Sect. I broke in and took a look last time. He is not in any immediate danger. I will take you there to rescue him when I have time."

While Lin Shan offered these words of reassurance, he felt a surge of urgency in his heart.

Time is of the essence. I must clean up the mess left by the battle between the two True Immortals in the lower realm as soon as possible, otherwise, if it drags on, unexpected changes may occur.

The void beyond the heavens.

A rift suddenly tore open, and a figure jumped out from the spatial turbulence, startling everyone!
"Lord Immortal Envoy?"

"you are back!"

"So, has Fairy Qinglian been brought to justice?"

"Who is that third party? Have you apprehended her?"

Without saying much to them, Layman Jinglian beckoned them to gather around, and then immediately broke through the spatial rift again to go inside.

He had just escaped by self-destructing his domain, but the seed of supreme divine power backfired, and his primordial spirit was severely injured. Therefore, his top priority was to find a place to heal!

However, to prevent himself from being ambushed alone, he enlisted the help of his subordinates, such as the Holy Lord of Haoran and the Sword Daoist, to protect him. They could even serve as cannon fodder in critical moments, though he didn't say it outright.

The matter of the Azure Lotus Fairy was left vague; she simply reached out and scattered jade bottles, placing them in everyone's hands.

"This is the Earth Spirit Pill I promised you. After I recover from my injuries, I will personally instruct you on the matter of ascension."

After receiving the jade bottle, everyone eagerly opened it and found that it was indeed full of Earth Spirit Pills!
Hearing that the patrolling immortal envoy would personally tell them about ascension, everyone was excited and naturally reluctant to leave, following him through the spatial turbulence. Finally, they found a hidden fragment of a world!

Layman Jinglian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In any case, the world fragments are much safer than the main world. In order to escape Lin Shan's pursuit, he deliberately created illusions in the spatial turbulence, which should be enough to delay him for at least three days, enough time for him to recover most of his strength.

As for returning to its former glory before fighting the Azure Lotus Fairy, forget about it. The Dharma Aspect Domain and the Divine Power Domain were destroyed one after another, and it is not something that can be rebuilt in a short time.

He was unsure whether he could successfully rebuild the Dharma body even if he survived the difficult years. Just as he had told Fairy Qinglian, the lower realm was difficult to restore, and only the upper realm had a chance.

However, besides these, he had other ways to deal with Lin Shan, after all, there was still a considerable difference between the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm and the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Although the opponent also possesses supreme supernatural powers, in terms of the number of supernatural powers, who in the lower realm can surpass him?

Just as he settled down and was preparing to heal and recover, he suddenly felt an invisible danger descending upon him, which immediately triggered his sensitive nerves!
"Oh no, who???"

Jinglian Jushi shouted, and the Haoran Saint Lord and others guarding outside the door hurriedly pushed the door open and came in, wanting to protect the emperor, but found nothing.

But at that moment a fishy, ​​foul smell suddenly wafted over, and then Layman Jinglian opened his mouth, and a slippery, thick, long tongue shot out like lightning!
"what!!!"

Caught off guard, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was caught off guard and was pulled away with a scream.

The Pure Lotus Hermit opened his enormous mouth, which suddenly grew larger than his face, like a monster. His densely packed, sharp teeth crunched and chewed the man up and swallowed him whole. His complexion immediately turned rosy, and his breath began to warm up and return to normal!
Everyone was immediately shocked!

The Holy Lord Haoran was so frightened that he quickly retreated, and the Sword Daoist also fled in a panic. The others ran away without looking back.

The Celestial Envoy ate people?!
"Gah gah gah, this old man's body is so young! Wow~ Is he a sixth-grade Azure Lotus incarnation? How can he still have so much yang energy? It's like a celestial being descended to earth. The spiritual energy in your blood is a bit unusual."

A strange laugh came from within the Pure Lotus Hermit's body; something was frantically vying for control with him.

His face was sometimes eerie and sometimes ferocious, with all sorts of strange expressions appearing one after another, which frightened his gang members quite a bit, and they all watched from a distance without daring to approach.

Could it be that the immortal envoy suffers from a split personality? Or has he been possessed?

Their imaginations ran wild. They recalled the mysterious person who had recently become involved in a third party's affair. Could it be that guy killed the Azure Lotus Fairy and then possessed the patrolling immortal envoy?
"Hmph! How dare a mere brat in the Void Transformation stage of Hellfire dare to act so presumptuously within my body! Speak! Who sent you!"

Layman Jinglian shouted angrily, but only received a strange, mocking laugh.

That guy's laughter was genuine. As a Void Realm cultivator, it hadn't taken any orders in the lower realm for a long time. But because of the sudden influx of traffic, it was overjoyed and quickly sent its projection down.

He was reborn into the body of a human at the Nascent Soul stage!

Realizing that work had finally come, and that there were finally big jobs available for Void Realm cultivators in the lower realm, he was overjoyed beyond words!
It knew that such large orders were rare on ordinary days, and once they appeared on the cursed platform, there would definitely be many Void Realm veterans eyeing them. If it failed, someone else would definitely snatch them away.

So he used all his strength to fight this person. The two of them used their skills in turn, which were reflected on the face of the Pure Lotus Hermit, with changes in brightness and darkness. His aura fluctuated wildly, making people tremble with fear!
The stalemate lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Ahhhhhh, you just wait! I, the Heavenly Toad Void Emperor, will not let you get away with this!"

Boom!

The Pure Lotus Hermit calmed his trembling body instantly. A deafening explosion came from within him, and he suddenly opened his eyes, radiating a dazzling divine light that spread throughout the entire small world as bright as day.

Then his breath instantly subsided, and he pressed down with both hands to suppress the riot.

"Excellent technique! This is a curse!"

The celestial messenger is indeed worthy of his title; he resolved the matter in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

The Haoran Saint Lord and the others outside mustered their courage a little and began to peer into the cave, looking like thieves.

"What are you standing there for? Come in!"

Only after a shout from inside did they nervously and obediently walk in.

When Layman Jinglian noticed the discrepancy in the number of people, she immediately frowned.

"Why are there six people? Where did the missing one go?"

"."

The crowd looked on with surprise, trembling and afraid to speak. They just stood motionless against the wall with their heads down, their hesitant expressions making everyone anxious.

"talk!"

Seeing that Layman Jinglian was angry, they had no choice but to admit it.

"Sir, that person just swallowed it for you."

"Ok?"

Layman Jinglian quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and found that there was indeed blood. Then, looking at the people outside, she raised her head in surprise.

"Did I do this?"

"Correct!"

"Ugh~~~"

The thought of having eaten a human was unbearable, even for a reincarnated immortal. He lay on the ground, retching incessantly. His appearance was too disgusting to bear, so the Holy Lord Haoran and the others covered their faces with their sleeves, as if to avoid the sight.

after awhile.

After vomiting most of it, Layman Jinglian finally tilted his head back, patted his chest, and let out a long sigh.

"How hateful! They actually used this trick to disgust me! I'll remember this!"

Then, as if remembering something, he frowned and muttered to himself:
"How could there be a cursed divine power in the lower realm, let alone a supreme divine power? Could it be the Seven Arrows of Nailhead?"

Because this supernatural power is so famous, known to everyone in the myriad realms, it can be considered the ancestor of curses, so he couldn't help but think this way.

If it's the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, wouldn't that mean you get three chances to curse a day?

Just as I was thinking of this, I suddenly felt a pain in my shoulder!
Tear it~
Small, bluish-gray mushrooms sprouted from his body, like tiny umbrellas spread out along the ridgeline, blooming side by side on his left and right shoulders!

These mushrooms all had noses and eyes, wore eerie smiles, and even started singing a nursery rhyme:

"Red umbrella, white pole, after eating we lie down on the plank, lie on the plank we sleep in the coffin, then we're buried together, burying the mountain, the mountain cries and screams, the whole village comes to eat, eating brings umbrellas, the whole village lies down on the plank together."

The children's voices were interspersed with multiple overlapping notes, which sounded creepy!
The faces of the Holy Lord Haoran and the others outside changed drastically. They were so frightened that they ran out in a panic, afraid that if they were a step too late, they would be infected.

Who dares to curse the patrolling celestial envoy?! (End of Chapter)
