Immortal Road.

All the disciples obeyed the order and immediately divided into groups and dispersed in all directions.

Half a day later.

Lin Shan counted the godmother's storage magic weapon and found a total of 50 points of ancient charm in it!
Estimate the incense burnt by the godmother's own cultivation, and the large amount of incense burnt to awaken and summon the God of Joy, and the remaining incense burnt almost emptied the Lingshu Sect's funds.

And now the ancient charm reserves in the upper right corner of his enhancement panel have reached a terrifying 562 points!
As long as he has ancient charm in his hands, the more the better, he will have more confidence and stand firmer!

I am more and more confident about the future and full of energy!

Under the sweep of many forces outside,

Even the headquarters of the Joyful Religion could not withstand so many searches. They dug three feet into the ground and not even left any grass behind. The yellow sand that had been blown into the ventilation hole by the great god was cleared away, revealing the oasis landscape once again.

"Master, we cleaned up the battlefield and found no traces."

Lu Xiuming returned in shame, even he was puzzled as to who the other party was and why he didn't reveal any evidence?

"I see."

Lin Shan felt relieved after thinking about it. The other party possessed Lingbao Cave Heaven, and their mobility far exceeded that of ordinary forces. As long as they were careful, it would not be impossible to get away with it cleanly.

It is even possible that the mastermind has not left yet and is hiding among so many people at the scene!
But this time the other party obviously miscalculated. All the incense and offerings in the Huanxi Sect had long been taken away by Gu Hun when he ran away from home. He must be secretly depressed at this moment, thinking that he had worked in vain and gained nothing.

"Glad to meet you all, nice to meet you."

When Lord Xiangren, Alliance Leader Tailong, and Patriarch Qingmang saw Lin Shan coming to them on his own initiative, they were all flattered and did not dare to neglect him, and they all returned the greetings.

"Don't be so reserved. I just want to get some information from you guys."

Lin Shan waved his hand without putting on airs, and at the same time summoned all the Nascent Soul cultivators around him. None of them dared to disobey.

"Fellow Taoist, it doesn't matter if you say so!"

"We will not hide what we know."

"Brother Dao showed his divine power, his Nascent Soul defeated his Primordial Spirit, it really opened our eyes!"

"The wisdom of our predecessors shines throughout the desert, and today's battle will bring eternal glory."

While giving compliments, some people even called their seniors!

When Lin Shan took a look, he found that it was Master Huayun from Huayun Villa. He quickly blocked the old man's mouth and told him that he was also in the Nascent Soul stage and they could just address each other as peers.

"Everyone, think about what we saw when we attacked the Happy Sect's formation before we came here. There was a mastermind sneaking in and using us as a pawn to take advantage of us."

Before he could finish his words, the group of people were filled with righteous indignation and started cursing.

"Those guys are nothing. We're working hard outside to attract the main force of the Joy Cult, while they're secretly reaping the wealth inside."

"Yes, I have long seen that the mastermind behind this has ulterior motives. How could he share this feast with everyone? It turns out he wants to eat alone!"

"In order to break through the formation, we lost more than half of our disciples, but in the end, we didn't get much benefit. It was a huge loss, and it was really painful~"

"That's right, that's right. My disciples have been searching for a long time, but they found nothing. Someone else got there first."

"In my opinion, it might be the Black Lotus Sect that has been making a lot of noise recently and is widely rumored in the cultivation world!"

"Yes, it's these rats."

Lin Shan couldn't help but feel puzzled, especially when someone pointed the finger at the Black Lotus Sect.

"The Black Lotus Cult is behind this. Is it a rumor that it has become very popular recently?"

Half of the people did not make any statement, while the remaining half nodded repeatedly. Based on the rumors they had heard and their own guesswork, it was most likely the Black Lotus Cult!
After all, the Black Lotus Sect and the Joy Sect are both evil cults, both of which need the power of incense, and they have had both cooperation and conflicts in the Vimalakirti Desert before, and their relationship has been up and down.

Add to that the scam of attacking Master Jinglian, which caused such a big fuss and fooled the entire cultivation world!
With these two goals this time, it was hard for everyone not to suspect that it was them.

In short, if any major incident occurs in places around the Virūpī Desert, just blame the Black Lotus Cult first!
Lin Shan listened to everyone's discussion and felt something was wrong. It seemed as if someone was deliberately guiding them secretly. Otherwise, why were more than half of them discussing the Black Lotus Sect!
So, was the Black Lotus Cult the mastermind, or were they also framed?

"During your search, have you found any clues about the person who first lurked in?"

Everyone shook their heads, and it was only natural that no one had found any useful clues.

"The Black Lotus Cult has always been very careful in what they do. How could they leave any obvious evidence for us?"

And it is thousands of miles away from here.

The sky is full of yellow sand and the wind is howling!
In the endless desert, a few small dots flew across the sky and stopped. They were the witch Youmei Ji and five Nascent Soul stage elders who had escaped from the headquarters of Huanxi Sect not long ago.

Because they were fleeing at full speed, they had consumed a lot of their energy. They were all a little out of breath, with their chests heaving.

But the most important thing is that there are two people confronting each other in front of them!
The place of confrontation was right in front of them!
No matter how they changed their positions, the other party followed them like a shadow, escorting them on the left and right, keeping a close eye on each other at their sides, and sandwiching these people in the middle.

Finally realizing that she couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did, Youmei Ji realized that it was a futile effort and simply stopped.

"What do you two mean?"

The five Joyful Sect elders also stood back to back, facing the two men on their left and right as if they were facing a formidable enemy, because they all felt extremely oppressed!
From a yellow cloud on the right, a clear and melodious female voice came:

"I would also like to ask, this Taoist brother on the left has been following me throughout the whole process and competing with me from a distance, what advice do you have for me?"

You Mei Ji turned around, and for the first time, her cold face was surprised, because this sweet female voice was completely different from the one she had heard from the Black Lotus Sect.
On their left, the old man in coarse linen clothes spoke in a deep voice:
"Girl, I have been watching you for a while. You seem to have had an affair with incense. This is a taboo in the heavens. Do you know that you have violated the heavenly law?"

Youmeiji turned around again and found that the other person was not talking about her, but the person on her right.

"Master Jinglian, you are meddling too much! You haven't even solved the Black Lotus Sect's problems, why are you trying to provoke me?"

There was a surge in the yellow mist, with inexplicable anger:

"Can't you tell if there are any traces of incense on my body? Why do you doubt me?"

The old man in coarse linen clothes on the left is none other than the famous Buddhist Jinglian!
Although it is rumored that this old man is over 800 years old, his face is still energetic and he does not look like he is troubled by death.

"The little girl looks innocent, but you led people to destroy the Chanyin Sect and the Yulan Sect one after another, and also confiscated all the incense offerings. What was your purpose?"

"You were secretly observing me all the way?!"

The yellow clouds trembled slightly and snorted coldly.

"You don't need to care what I want to do! Besides, I'm not the only one who destroyed the Joy Sect. There are also the Secret Zen Sect, the Kaibei Sect, the Kaihe Sect, the Lingshu Sect, and the other mastermind behind the scenes. Why don't you investigate?" "Who said I didn't investigate?"

Mr. Jinglian laughed.

"The first person we investigated was the guy from Xun Gu Sect. But there's nothing wrong with him. He was probably just seeking revenge. It's said that the Black Lotus Sect kidnapped a Yuanying-stage elder from his sect."

"That kid is very good. He even knew to destroy all the incense in public and spread the word about the harmful effects of incense among his disciples."

"He destroyed the Joy Cult, saving me from having to do it myself. I can't thank him enough!"

"Next time we meet, I might ask him to help me deal with the Black Lotus Sect. It's rare to see such righteous people in the lower world."

"Looking for the ancient religion?"

The witch Youmei Ji silently memorized the name. It turned out that the person who had been secretly dealing with her family was called the leader of the Xun Gu Sect. He was probably the young formation master who led everyone to break the formation!
She secretly sent a message to the five Yuanying elders of Huanxi Sect:
"Have we kidnapped any elders of Xun Gu Sect before?"

The five Yuanying elders shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it. This was simply an unprovoked disaster!
The female voice in the clouds on the right also seemed a little surprised.

"Looking for the ancient religion???"

Lay Buddhist Jinglian sensed something and felt a little strange: "Why, you know that too?"

Then he nodded naturally, guessing the relationship between the two as a matter of course.

"That's right. You collect incense and he destroys it. You two must be incompatible. You may even have been enemies for a long time!"

"."

There was silence in the yellow clouds.

Looking for the leader of the ancient sect, who specializes in destroying incense? ? ?
I don't think so. How can the incense be destroyed so easily? After destroying the four sects of the Joyful Religion, maybe he still has a lot of incense left in his hands. I will go and cause trouble for him after I get rid of Youmei Ji!

The witch Youmei Ji, who was caught in the middle, spoke at this time.

She bowed to the left first: "Fellow Daoist Jinglian, since we are not your target, why do you have to follow us all the time?"

Lay Buddhist Jinglian answered earnestly:
"You are the last remnant of the Joy Cult. As long as we can eradicate you completely, the Joy God will not be able to wake up quickly."

The witch Youmei Ji quickly clarified:
"But I was born only a few hundred years ago, and I have no idea how to awaken the God of Joy. If you want to find someone, you should go to the godmother, right?"

"No need, Godmother Shi Luoyu can't survive. I believe that Master Xun Gu, with his strength, will definitely be able to get rid of Godmother!"

Ms. Jinglian actually has great confidence in Lin Shan!

"I have observed this young man. He has good methods and schemes. He also chose the right time. The Godmother's golden body is in his hands. He is inherently invincible. There are also many forces besieging the Joy Sect. He is absolutely safe."

Having said that, how could the people in the yellow clouds on the right not understand?
Ms. Jinglian was well aware of the actions of both the Xun Gu Sect and her side to secretly destroy the Huan Xi Sect, but she had been indulging them in the early stages just to use them as guns!

After using them to get rid of the Joy Cult, he could then come out and finish off the process and get rid of her, killing two birds with one stone.

This is the real case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

"As the biological daughter of Lord Huanxi, you must be carrying a large amount of incense from the Yulan Sect. If Lord Huanxi gets hold of it later, it will be a disaster! Therefore, I will eradicate all evil and will never allow the incense to be lost. Unless you are willing to take the initiative to hand over all the incense to me and destroy it in front of me, I can let you go."

Mr. Jinglian was very serious and even thought of the fact that Lord Huanxi would need incense to find Lady Youmei to recover, so he came in advance to track her down and kill her to prevent any trouble.

It can be said that he is thoughtful and far-sighted.

Youmei Ji was stunned and didn't know how to excuse herself for a moment!
The five elders of the Joyful Sect sent a message to each other, suggesting that they might as well have a fight with Master Jinglian to see who was the best. However, they were directly rejected by Princess Youmei.

Because as one of the three leaders, she knew too well about the evil ways of Master Jinglian!
How powerful is the Black Lotus Sect?
He stirred up the cultivation circles of so many countries, laid out a network for a whole sixty years, and set all kinds of sieges, interceptions, traps and traps, but still failed to kill him.

Instead, he is still alive and well, and even threatens to take down the Black Lotus Sect. What kind of ruthless person is he?
We are happy to teach these three or two cats and dogs left, why would we fight with this old guy?

Why!
The woman in the yellow cloud on the right obviously also knew about the battle record of Master Jinglian. This was a truly indestructible cockroach, an existence that even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage could not do anything about. The number of cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage who died at his hands was estimated to be more than one hand!
After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, I decided not to continue to pester him.

"Okay, since you are so determined, I will not interfere with the remnants of the Joy Cult."

"The power of incense and vows is the poison of the world. I will naturally abide by the heavenly rules. If I seize it, I will destroy it. I will not use it without permission and allow it to spread. You can rest assured about this."

"I hope that in the future, when you are going to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Sect, Daoist Fellow Jinglian can contact me. I am willing to serve you!"

After saying that, he turned around without looking back and headed straight towards the sky.

Ms. Jinglian narrowed her eyes, did not chase after him, but smiled and shook her head.

"Not everyone can take advantage of the crazy people in the Black Lotus Sect. Even I have almost been in dire straits many times."

The witch Youmei Ji looked terrified, and the five Yuanying elders around her were sweating profusely.

The people in the yellow cloud could still restrain Master Jinglian if they hadn't left. Now that they had left, not only did they abandon them, but they also gave Master Jinglian the opportunity to attack with all his strength!

"Master Shenpo, what should I do?"

"Don't panic. I actually have one last resort. It was left to me by the sect leader, Senior Brother Gu Hun, before he left. It's called the Virudharma Incense Mantra. It's said that as long as there are enough incense, one can temporarily rival the great supernatural powers. Let's try our best."

The ruins of the headquarters of the Joyful Sect.

Lin Shan was still chatting with many Nascent Soul cultivators, especially talking about the crack in the sky of Viruo Beimo.

"It is said that it comes from the inter-domain transmission of the immortal world, and there will be immortal treasures dropped. If you can get a precious immortal item at that time, you may be able to soar to the sky from then on!"

"Yes, even if I don't get any treasure, as long as I can breathe in a little bit of the spiritual energy, it's worth it!"

"If, if, a magical weapon were to appear in the world, wouldn't that be..."

"You think too much. It is said that the immortal weapon is as heavy as a world! If it falls, it will collapse the sky! Can you catch it?"

"Indeed, each stage of treasure requires corresponding strength to use. How can a child wield a broadsword? Immortal weapons can only be activated by the immortal essence of immortals. If you don't reach that level, you can't use them at all!"

"It is said that during the spiritual tide twenty years ago, the cracks in the sky on the Dixi Plateau were very similar to the ones this time."

"I don't know who spread this news. It's said that the Black Lotus Cult is secretly fanning the flames. Is it true?"

Lin Shan listened to their conversation and couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Why is the Black Lotus Sect everywhere? No matter how big or small the incident is, it is always blamed on the Black Lotus Sect? Is it that the mainstream of the cultivation world is now taking the blame?
Is it the Black Lotus Sect? (End of this chapter)
