Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 409 The Mountain Gate Opens Wide
Lin Jiang removed his hand from Huang Daozi's body, his expression becoming subtle.

He already knew that the other party was the leader he had failed to deal with back then, but he did not expect that this person would escape all the way from the central region to this place, and finally fall into his hands.

Lin Jiang found it difficult to make a judgment.

This person's fate may be shrouded in heavy negative energy, and they are destined to face many calamities.

Unfortunately, his foundation was too weak. Even after consuming the Ascension Pill, his cultivation was still insufficient. Xiaoshan Shen only used the Chaotic Qi Technique to slightly disrupt his immature Body Transformation Technique, and Xiaoshan Shen took the opportunity to practice and kill him.

Not to mention comparing them to the previous military commanders of Daxing, they are not even as good as those half-baked generals of Chen Kingdom.

He casually kicked Huang Daozi's corpse aside and turned his gaze to the back.

A bloody storm was brewing on the streets in the distance.

Yu Wenyun drove the carriage, fighting with great gusto.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was suffocating. The barbarians in the city were routed in the blink of an eye, unable to mount a decent counterattack, and scattered and fled like a tide.

Yu Wenyun dealt with most of the enemies, and the entire street he walked through was even stained crimson.

Unfortunately, there were still many barbarians on the outskirts of the city, and even Yu Wenyun could not eliminate them all at this time.

After a short while, Yu Wenyun drove the carriage back to Lin Jiang and the others.

He and the carriage were covered in blood, which, under the influence of the Dharma, transformed into wisps of smoke and drifted away.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Jiang realized that the man who always wore a stiff and strange smile was actually the strongest fighter in the Daxing General's Mansion.

In a sense, the capital city has a civil and legal ancestor, and Yu Wenyun corresponds to him, much like a martial ancestor.

Unfortunately, his shortcomings in other areas were too obvious, so the position of general was naturally out of his reach. In addition, the belt around his waist restricted most of his cultivation, so his strength was far inferior to what it used to be.

Lin Jiang blew out a cool, damp breath, which, along with a sharp wind, swept across Yu Wenyun's face, cleaning the blood off his body and wiping away the bloodstains on the carriage.

In an instant, Lin Jiang completely calmed his fierce aura, and he returned to being the coachman with the strange smile.

Yu Wenyun looked down at himself and laughed loudly twice:
"How fortunate! I thought I would have to find an oasis nearby to wipe myself down, but your skill is truly convenient."

"An ordinary person might be driven to death by my boasting, but only you can withstand it."

Lin Jiang sighed and said.

"Haha! That's really convenient. Being physically strong has its advantages."

Yu Wenyun smiled.

Lin Jiang remained silent, only looking at the pale faces of the three people inside the carriage.

Yu Wenyun was driving the carriage too wildly, and even Dianxing, with his advanced cultivation, got carsick.

"The men are almost all dealt with. What are your plans next, young master? Are you going to chase after them and take care of all the roaming thieves?"

Lin Jiang could hear the excitement hidden in Yu Wenyun's tone.

It was obvious that he hadn't been able to kill so freely since leaving the battlefield, and now that he had finally had his fill, he naturally couldn't forget it.

Lin Jiang sighed helplessly, "Let's go find the Immortal Mountain first."

"Oh." Yu Wenyun finally suppressed his anticipation and calmed himself down.

Sensing the time was right, Lin Jiang took out the small item given to him by the King of Qi from his bosom, brought it to his lips and blew hard, and a sharp and unpleasant sound instantly spread in all directions.

After finishing his flute playing, Lin Jiang waited for a moment. Soon, he saw a thin mist rising above the street in the distance, and water vapor quietly spreading across the river.

A ship slowly emerged from the fog, with a child standing at its bow.

He forcefully pulled his two ponytails up to his ears and shouted with his mouth open:
"It sounds awful!"

The boat docked beside Lin Jiang and his companions. King Qi leaped off the bow and jogged over, then jumped up angrily and smacked Lin Jiang on the head.

Seeing King Qi gesturing wildly, Lin Jiang hurriedly dodged back and forth.

Unfortunately, he still took a few hits in the end.

Lin Jiang was quite helpless and could only hurriedly speak:
"Didn't you tell me you'd contact me when you got near the sacred mountain?"

"Can't you play it a little better? Can't you play it a little better?"

Lin Jiang was furious upon hearing this:
"Wouldn't it be too monotonous if the world only had beautiful melodies?"

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's righteous and eloquent words, King Qi paused for a moment.

He pondered for quite a while before saying with anger:

"Even if it could exist, you shouldn't sing it for me!"

He fumed alone for a long time, his chest heaving with anger, before finally letting out a helpless sigh:
"You... you should learn a proper tune from now on, so that at least next time you call me, it won't sound so jarring."

After saying this, King Qi glanced around.

"Have we arrived in Lanke?"

"Yes," Lin Jiang nodded, "but I still don't know where the immortal mountain is."

"Stay close to me, I should be able to find it." King Qi stepped back onto the bow of the ship and headed out of the city. The others boarded the carriage and followed closely behind.

They quickly left the city. Lin Jiang looked into the distance and saw what appeared to be some barbarians staring at their carriage and the lost ship that had suddenly appeared with extremely fearful eyes.

Yu Wenyun was about to make another move, but Lin Jiang stopped him.

He looked out the window and gently exhaled towards the distant city.

A thin layer of fog covered the entire city.

This is the illusion technique that Lin Jiang set up in imitation of Qingniwa. Under the cover of this technique, it is difficult for the surrounding barbarians to find a way to sneak into the city.

Having accepted the task of protecting the Blue Tech people, I should do it thoroughly.

How could they allow their homeland to become a den of barbarians upon their return?

Looking back at the receding city, Lin Jiang made a hand seal, and the black sea in his mind rippled slightly. Suddenly, a carriage almost identical to theirs emerged from the mist and began to circle the city.

Thus, the surviving barbarians, filled with fear, will spread the word of what they saw today throughout the land.

After all, there are many barbarians roaming this vast wilderness, how can the slaughter be completely eradicated?

As expected, the barbarians in the distance had never seen such profound Taoist magic before. Upon seeing this scene, they were all terrified and fled in panic.

Watching the group of people flee in panic, Lin Jiang finally smiled with satisfaction.

He sat back in the carriage, waiting patiently for the time to depart for the sacred mountain amidst the continuous bumps and swaying of the carriage.

After closing his eyes to rest for a moment, the voice of King Qi came from outside the carriage:

"This is it."

Lin Jiang opened his eyes and got off the carriage.

Looking into the distance, one sees the towering mountain range that King Qi had pointed out during his first visit.

However, just as when we first met, the terrain here is extremely flat, and at a glance, there is almost nothing special about it.

Lin Jiang turned his head to look at King Qi:

Do you know how to enter the sacred mountain?

King Qi rolled his eyes in annoyance:
"Didn't I say before that this place will open once every sixty years? Now you insist that I come up with a way to force my way in, but I can't just build a mountain gate for you out of thin air."

"How long until it opens?"

“The celestial phenomena here have been unusual lately. I reckon that the opening ceremony is approaching.”

King Qi pondered for a moment:

"It could take as little as seven days, or as long as two or three months."

Lin Jiang nodded slightly.

He could wait that long.

The reason he left the Seeking Truth Taoist's place ahead of time was because he was worried that the Immortal Mountain might open at any moment, and Lin Jiang was absolutely unwilling to take the risk of missing it even if there was only a slight chance.

Otherwise, we would have to wait another sixty years.

As Lin Jiang was pondering this, he suddenly felt the carriage door behind him being pushed open.

Jiang Jinyue stepped down from the carriage.

Lin Jiang was about to exchange a few pleasantries with him when his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Jiang Jinyue's current state is unusual.

He could clearly see that Jiang Jinyue's eyes were misty.

It felt as if... he had been possessed by the soul within him!

Lin Jiang's heart suddenly tightened.

Why did a problem occur at this time?
Just as he was about to call upon the distant King Qi to come and help him see what was wrong, Lin Jiang suddenly felt as if a flame was burning inside his body.

This feeling made Lin Jiang instinctively grab his clothes.

His inner vision palace seemed to be resonating with something.

Upon closer inspection, it seems to reflect the moon reflected in the river in the distance.

This?
Under Lin Jiang's gaze, Jiang Jinyue slowly spoke:
"The Dharma Protector of Yuntai descends, and the celestial palace awakens with profound sounds. The wind rustles through the pines in the myriad valleys, and the Heavenly Gate closes at this moment."

The sun hung high above the distant mountain peaks, and a ray of sunlight streamed down through the cracks in the rocks, casting dazzling golden rays.

The surging fog rushed down from the mountaintop, like a cascading waterfall.

Looking out over the mountain peak, Lin Jiang saw palaces seemingly appearing and disappearing in the mist.

Immortal Mountain

They actually opened it like that!
