Chapter 410 Demon Sect Jinglong, Rumors of the True Spirit
President Ling replied: "Recently, there have been changes in the Demonic camp at the border. As the elder of the Defending Alliance, True Lord Liuyang came to Jingguo to respond."
Lu Changan understood that geographically, the Liang State was located behind the Three Kingdoms. Even if the Yuanying force was born in the Jing State, it was not as large as the former in terms of size and upper limit.
Today's Liang Kingdom is much stronger than the Lihuo Palace era.
The Jinyang Sect was once the number one sect in the Feng Kingdom. At its peak, it was a sect with three Yuanying sects, occupying the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual veins.
As the oldest force in the Wei Dao Alliance, after the Jinyang Sect moved north to the Liang Kingdom, it brought a lot of power resources from this camp and boosted the Liang Kingdom's civilization of cultivating immortals.
Not long after Lu Changan left Daqing, the Jinyang Sect also gave birth to a Nascent Soul monk, leaving the sect still maintaining two Nascent Soul monks.
Soon, two true monarchs with completely different auras came into view.
On that blazing ray of light was a middle-aged man in gold robes with broad shoulders and a broad body. His hair and beard were like combed steel wires. He had a square face and red-gold eyes, which conveyed a burning feeling.
Excluding Master Lihuo, this was the first time Lu Changan saw the True Lord of Six Yangs with his own eyes.
Another white-haired man riding a magic cloud, he looks about thirty years old, wearing the robe of the leader of Xuanwen. He has slanted sword eyebrows, a nose that looks like a hanging gallbladder, and narrow black eyes that look like a deep cold pool.
Compared with Liang Shaotian a hundred or two hundred years ago, the leader of the Demon Cult in front of him was less flamboyant and more experienced.
Lu Changan learned from the intelligence that Liang Shaotian had a hard battle decades ago and used secret techniques to overdraw his life, causing his black hair to turn white overnight and his eyebrows to turn gray.
"Your Excellency, is that Mr. Lu Zhenjun from the frontline intelligence?"
True Lord Liuyang's red gold pupils were shining with strange light, as if he was on guard to detect Lu Changan's authenticity.
Liuyang Zhenjun has heard anecdotes about the turtle talisman master in his early years, and today is the first time he saw it.
It is said that the last time he ran away was nearly a hundred years ago.
Unexpectedly, he appeared this time and was already a Nascent Soul peer with a similar status to him.
When True Lord Liuyang looked at it and asked.
Leader Liang took the first step, raised the sleeves of his broad robe, and took the initiative to salute:
"It is indeed a great blessing for the Weidao Alliance that Mr. Lu Zhen has given birth to a baby. Liang has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"Master Liang commended him. Lu had a baby late in life, his magic power is shallow, and his qualifications are not as good as those of the two."
Lu Changan bowed his hands and returned the greeting.
The two looked at each other, smiling slightly as they recalled their early encounters.
Seeing Leader Liang's reaction, the two of them chatted naturally. True Lord Liuyang couldn't help but look sideways, flashing a hint of surprise.
Lu Changan and Liang Shaotian seem to have known each other for a long time, do they still have an unknown relationship?
Although True Lord Liuyang was promoted to Nascent Soul several hundred years ago, he was still somewhat wary of Liang Shaotian, who was considered a rare strong opponent in the early Nascent Soul stage.
"Welcome Lu Zhenjun, return home with honor."
With Liang Shaotian's endorsement, Liuyang Zhenjun naturally couldn't put on airs and stepped forward to greet him.
"The True Lord of Six Yangs, I have admired your name for a long time."
Lu Changan nodded and returned the salute.
Although it was the first time we met in real life, I was deeply impressed by him.
He transformed Master Lihuo into his fourth life, as if he had simulated that life and the fiasco in his early years, which left a deep impression on him.
Today, I observe the aura of the Six-Yang True Monarch. He has stayed at the peak of the early Yuanying stage for many years. His magic power is powerful. He has reached the peak of Yang. I am afraid that his supernatural powers still have a lot of progress.
In the battle that year, there was not much difference between Master Lihuo and True Lord Liuyang. The main reason was that they were plotted against each other.
"I just got the news that Mr. Lu Zhenjun defeated Zhenjun Black Feather on the front line and destroyed his legal body and spiritual pets. Liang is quite impressed."
Liang Shaotian spoke in a commendable tone and mentioned this matter with the intention of confirming it.
The information obtained hastily, the details of the battle between the two true kings, and the intelligence may not be accurate.
"Destroy True Monarch Black Feather's legal body?"
True Lord Liuyang's pupils shrank slightly and he couldn't help but feel moved.
He came from the Liang Kingdom to provide support, and was half a step behind in acquiring intelligence than the local Liang Jiaozhu. He only knew that the Wu Guishen from the Liang Kingdom in the early years had returned with a baby.
The uncertain part of the information said that True Lord Evergreen fought against True Lord Black Feather, and seemed to have beaten the latter back.
Approaching the border of Jing Kingdom, True Lord Liuyang thought that True Lord Demonic Way did not want to fight and retreated on his own. However, it was exaggerated that he defeated True Lord Demonic Way.
The overall strength of the Demon Lord is generally higher than that of the Guardian Alliance. How can he be defeated so easily?
True Lord Liuyang has fought against True Lord Black Feather. The latter's mobility can come and go freely. He has never taken advantage and is often in a passive situation.
…
"It's just a fluke!"
Lu Changan did not deny the victory and explained: "When Lu returned to the Eastern Region for the first time, True Monarch Black Feather arrogantly underestimated the enemy and did not know Lu's true identity, so he fell into trouble."
He briefly mentioned the process of this battle. Anyway, they were all obvious and conventional methods.
Even the fourth-level poison used is the ordinary version.
Because Lu Changan knew that the fourth-level low-grade infant poison would not be able to kill Nascent Soul cultivators in the short term.
The opponent fled back to the Beast King Valley. As the top force in Daqing, there must be ways to resolve it.
Some of Daqing's long-established forces also have reserves of fourth-level poison, but the prerequisite is to break through the opponent's magical powers, body-protecting shields, and invade the body.
When Lu Changan was fighting with True Lord Black Feather, he controlled the spiritual bird to let the latter come close to rescue him. He also used the Phantom Wood clone to attract attention. Lord Diyan unexpectedly attacked and cracked his protective shield.
In addition, most of the hostile forces have symptomatic antidotes for several common fourth-level poisons in the local area, so the threat is relatively small.
The real threat is rare poisons or non-local poisons.
"The demon king's spiritual pet...the fourth-level poison...that's it."
True Lord Liuyang suddenly realized that he was quite envious of Lu Changan for having a fourth-level spiritual pet.
At the same time, he was keenly aware that Leader Liang was not surprised at Lu Changan's performance, as if it was a matter of course.
"The relationship between these two people is not simple."
True Lord Liuyang was wary and gave up the idea of trying to win over True Lord Evergreen.
The strength shown by Lu Changan exceeds that of ordinary Nascent Souls in their early stages, and is equivalent to the combat power of two Nascent Souls. It may not be a good thing to join the sect halfway.
At this level, Jinyang Sect doesn't have enough opportunities and benefits to win over the other party.
Moreover, Lu Changan has friendships with Liang Shaotian and Zhang Tianfeng, so it is unlikely that he would choose the Jinyang Sect.
True Lord Liuyang was a little worried. It would be okay for Lu Changan to join the Xuanyin Demon Sect. If he joined Jinyun Valley, it might affect the situation of the immortal world in Liang Kingdom.
…
"When Mr. Lu Zhen returns to Liang Kingdom, why don't you pay a visit to our religion?"
Leader Liang suggested.
"That's fine."
Lu Changan thought about it and realized that it was indeed his way.
He and Liang Shaotian had only met three times in the past. The two sides had been wary of each other and their relationship was delicate.
For the first time, in the Mujia Medicine Garden, Lu Changan faked a Nascent Soul monk that did not belong to the era and frightened Liang Shaotian.
The second time, Liang Shaotian looked into Lu Changan's eyes outside Zhuye Shanfang City, with the demonic flames in full force.
For the third time, Lu Changan designed the Peacock Saint to be arrested and possessed by her fourth life. She disguised herself as a senior Nascent Soul through the Baihuan Mask, and instantly killed the five-color peacock spirit bird of Tianpin bloodline in front of Liang Shaotian.
"I want to go to the front line to inspect, so I won't disturb Master Liang."
True Lord Liuyang knew that the two wanted to reminisce about old times, so he did not participate in it.
Lu Changan asked the leader of Liang to land on the Xuanshui turtle and fly to the direction of Liang Kingdom.
The Xuanshui Turtle is more than seven feet wide and occupies a large area. It can easily carry more than a dozen people at the same time.
Liang Shaotian sat down in front of the elder, glanced at the captured Zhu Yuting, and did not ask any questions.
Feeling Leader Liang's glance, Zhu Yuting's entire body was as cold as a shiver, like a little lamb being slaughtered.
Zhu Yuting could not hear the conversation between the two.
"Should Liang be called Fellow Daoist Lu, or Senior Yan?"
Leader Liang's face was calm and he tried to test it calmly.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, his horizons broadened and he learned more secrets of the top level of the world of immortality.
Having been intimidated by Lu Changan more than once back then, Liang Shaotian could not help but see some flaws later on.
"You and I are both Nascent Souls, so we are of the same generation. As for Senior Yan, there is no need to mention it in the future."
Since Lu Changan learned that Jing Wufeng mentioned the secret of Yan Donglai and confirmed that the other party was not dead and that there was still a "thousand-year calamity", he kept secret about the legendary monk.
They even don't want to mention the other person's name.
Yan Donglai has lived for so many years, and he is probably proficient in divination and has higher skills. If he has recovered now, there may be certain risks in mentioning or impersonating the other party's name.
"The 'Shenjun Qingmu' who came to Daqing East Territory back then came to cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Lu?"
Leader Liang continued to ask.
"That's right."
Lu Changan did not deny that this matter could not be hidden from interested people, such as the Celestial Master of Feng Yuan Kingdom.
Liang Shaotian knew some of his details and was particularly concerned about him. It was not surprising that he thought of the Evergreen Gong and guessed the purpose of True Lord Aoki's visit.
"With Daoist Fellow Lu's temperament, if he dares to return to Daqing, I think he already has a strategy to deal with this guy."
Liang Shaotian showed a faint smile, with a cold feeling like an evil villain,
Lu Changan sighed: "It's just that it's not difficult to protect yourself. If you can get an ally like Master Liang, you can increase your chances of winning by 20%."
After returning to Daqing, Lu Changan tried his best to figure out the identity of True Lord Aoki based on many intelligence clues, but was interfered by many secrets.
He also rehearsed the battle with Aoki Shin-kun.
It turned out that Lord Aoki was also good at positional warfare.
The sword formation is a threatening method. As long as you don't fight and fight, and quickly open the distance when setting up the formation, the threat is not as great as imagined.
A complete set of sword formations takes time to set up, which is similar to Lu Changan's puppet army formation, and is slower than the activation speed of a single magic weapon.
If Lu Changan improves his speed, movement and magical powers, he can even pull Master Aoki away in a fight.
This is the disadvantage of exposing a powerful means, especially to a fortune teller.
If Lu Changan reveals the soul-destructive power of [Nailhead Arrow] when he first comes to Daqing, then True Lord Qingmu will probably search for soul defense treasures all over the world.
What surprised Lu Changan was that it seemed that True Lord Aoki had not yet advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The specific reason is unknown, but it may be related to the secret of Changqing Gong, or it may be related to the skills left by Yan Donglai.
Therefore, in his calculations, the threat posed by Lord Aoki now is much smaller than in the past, and there is no such thing as a disaster.
"With my help, can you increase your chances of winning by 20%?"
Liang Shaotian was silent for a moment.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, he can no longer compete with others like the Foundation Builder or the Core Formation Stage, even if it is a small realm.
Such methods were available back then because the inheritance opportunity he obtained was powerful, the magical powers he cultivated were stronger, and he had rich practical experience, thus surpassing ordinary monks.
And when it comes to the level of the Nascent Soul Lord, which inheritance is not strong, does not have a heaven-reaching background or a great opportunity?
Liang Shaotian's magical power is only considered to be at the top level in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and he can't do anything against True Monarch Black Feather who is extremely fast.
His white hair was due to the fact that the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley joined the war and had an extra mid-stage Nascent Soul who dragged the leader of Chu away.
Liang Shaotian and another Nascent Soul early stage teamed up to contain the leader of the Beast King Valley, but they felt even more pressure just by containing him.
…
The Xuanyin Sect is located on the eastern border of the original Jing Kingdom, bordering the Black Mist Mountains.
The Xuanyin Sect has taken root, and after two to three hundred years of operation, the surrounding area has expanded a lot.
Due to the poor foundation, even if a large amount of resources are invested and the formation pulse masters of the Wei Dao League assist, the Xuanyin Sect's spiritual veins are currently only cultivated to the fourth level.
Fortunately, Xuanyin Sect only has Liang Shaotian, who is in the early stage of Nascent Soul. With some spiritual stones and elixirs, his practice will not be hindered.
Because of this, Liang Shaotian never thought of recruiting Lu Changan to join the Xuanyin Sect.
"Meet the leader."
"I've met Mr. Lu Zhen!"
When the Xuanshui Giant Turtle arrived, a group of monks from the Xuanyin Sect greeted him respectfully outside the mountain gate.
The Xuanyin Sect's mountain gate is located in a deep mountain and valley. Its architectural style is similar to a dark-toned castle, full of edges and corners, and full of aggression.
"Headmaster Liang manages the business well, and Xuanyin teaches outstanding people."
Lu Changan glanced at the crowd of believers who were receiving him. Although only some of them came, there were three True Alchemy cultivators present.
"If we talk about running the sect, Liang is not as good as Tian Feng Zhenjun from Jinyun Valley. Fortunately, we have some management talents in this sect, otherwise Liang would really not be able to take care of it."
Liang Shaotian is not a deliberately humble person, he tells the truth.
In the Xuanyin Sect, he only focuses on one thing, which is to improve his own magical power and leave the management to disciples who are good at it.
Lu Changan put away the Xuanshui Turtle and followed Liang Shaotian into the main helm of the Xuanyin Sect.
"Xueqing, come here and bring tea and water."
Liang Shaotian waved and called for a girl wearing a moon-white robe, with a pure and picturesque face.
This woman looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old and is in the foundation-building stage.
Lu Changan knew that the little girl being cared for by Liang Shaotian might not be simple.
"This is Liang's disciple 'Zhu Xueqing'. The female disciple adopted by Li Hai has Xuanyin body. My humble disciple Li Hai is away on a mission, so he asked his disciples to come and entertain Mr. Lu Zhenjun."
Liang Shaotian introduced via voice transmission.
"Xue Qing has met Mr. Lu Zhen."
Zhu Xueqing bowed and bowed. His eyes were clear and black, and their clarity and purity were rare in the world of immortality.
She didn't have the fear of the old monster Nascent Soul that most monks had. She didn't even shy away from Lu Changan's gaze and looked at him curiously.
She couldn't hide her surprise at Lu Changan's overly youthful appearance.
"A famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple, what a beautiful piece of jade."
Lu Changan praised, it was hard to imagine that this woman who looked like the moonlight and the first snowfall was actually the owner of Xuanyin body.
Liang Shaotian asked this woman to come over to entertain him, probably because he wanted her to be popular in front of Lu Changan.
…
Enter the main helm of the Demon Cult.
Lu Changan had a faint feeling and looked towards the entrance of a corridor on the back, but didn't see anything.
When Lu Changan was a guest in the Xuanyin Sect, it was not easy for Lu Changan to scan openly with his spiritual consciousness.
The corner of the corridor.
"Lu Zhenjun? It's really him..."
A stout old man with yellowish complexion did not dare to express his anger. He restrained his magic power and consciousness. He only dared to glance at him from the corner of his eye just now.
But unexpectedly, he was still sensed by the True Lord Evergreen.
Xiang Jinglong was horrified, thinking of his early experience of going to Wuqi Mountain to eat Overlord Dinner, and trying to rip off Lu Changan, but luckily he didn't succeed.
During his time in the Liang Kingdom, he took the blame for no apparent reason and was wanted by the Lihuo Palace. Later, he took refuge in the Xuanyin Sect and lived a good life.
But he never thought that he would take the blame again in the Jing Kingdom and be suspected of being the "Master Xiang" who killed Master Hu Xiao.
At that time, Xiang Jinglong's clues led to the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce and found that this chamber of commerce was related to Wugui Zhenren, who was promoted to Zhendan.
As a result, Leader Liang ordered him not to investigate matters related to Lu Changan, and that was the end of it.
A decade or two after Lu Changan disappeared, the evaluation of Xiang Zhenren on the Infinite Sect watch list suddenly increased, believing that he was a potential threat.
Xiang Jinglong's reputation in the Demonic Way has increased inexplicably.
He felt that his life, starting from a certain point, was always in the shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes.
At this time, seeing Lu Changan returning as the true king, Xiang Jinglong finally knew the answer in his heart.
Because the life trajectory of his taking the blame is extremely consistent with the growth path of Lu Zhenjun, which is too coincidental.
"A certain family has taken so many blames for Lu Zhenjun, so he won't kill anyone and silence him, right?"
Xiang Jinglong was shocked when he confirmed the truth.
At this moment, how can he still have the ambition to find out the real murderer?
He just felt that he had no love in life and was frightened.
I'm worried that Lu Zhenjun will miss me and will bear greater karmic crimes in his twilight years.
…
The main hall of Xuanyin Sect.
Liang Shaotian and Lu Changan took their seats as host and guest, while Zhu Xueqing stood aside like a maid to entertain them.
At this time, Lu Changan made some calculations and determined the identity of the peeper, who was causally involved with him.
"Why don't you see your sect's Protector Xiang?"
Lu Changan asked casually.
"Xiang Zhenren has worked hard in the Xuanyin Sect and has a high age. Even though he has taken the longevity pill, his lifespan is not long. Now he is taking care of himself in the sect and guarding the important place of the mountain gate, so he is not alarmed."
"Oh I got it."
Lu Changan calculated his age and found that Xiang Jinglong was older than himself and indeed his life span was short.
"Xiang Zhenren's youngest son celebrates his tenth birthday today, and Xue Qing has just been there."
Zhu Xueqing added from the side.
"I forgot about it."
Liang Shaotian chuckled and immediately ordered: "Xueqing, you can bring a birthday gift to Master afterwards."
It turned out that Xiang Jinglong had a son in old age, and he was a high-grade spiritual root with good qualifications.
This young son is a seedling of immortality cultivated by Xiang Jinglong.
As one of the loyal founders of Xuanyin Sect, the sect will invest more resources in favor of his youngest son.
"Xue Qing thanks Master for his thoughtfulness on behalf of 'Shao Long'."
Zhuxueqing leads the way.
Shaolong?
Lu Changan was startled and couldn't help but ask: "What is the name of Xiang Jinglong's youngest son?"
Liang Shaotian said slightly embarrassed: "The name of his youngest son is Xiang Shaolong."
In Xuanyin Sect, Xiang Jinglong likes to flatter his superiors, especially Leader Liang, who was a face-conscious person when he was young.
Coupled with his loyal and hard work, Xiang Jinglong was taken care of by the leader, bestowed with top-notch physical training techniques, and enjoyed good treatment.
In order to show his friendship with the leader, Xiang Jinglong named his youngest son Shaolong.
The word "Shao" can be associated with the name of the leader; it can also refer to the youngest son, which makes it difficult for Liang Shaotian to criticize.
Xiang Jinglong was very shameless and wanted Xiang Shaolong to recognize the leader as his adoptive father, but the latter refused.
"Lu and Xiang Zhenren were old acquaintances in their early years. Today is the tenth birthday of his youngest son, Xiang Shaolong, so Lu also gave him a birthday gift."
Lu Changan thought for a while and took out a spirit shell with a blue luster from the space ring.
Liang Shaotian glanced at it and found that the Lingbei was a valuable third-level rare item. It was helpful to cultivation in some way. It didn't seem to be a product of Daqing.
He looked strange, and he had the impression that Lu Changan and Xiang Jinglong had little friendship, and they even had a feud at one time.
Liang Shaotian didn't ask any questions and let his disciple accept the birthday gift to express his gratitude.
…
Two hours later.
Lu Changan declined Liang Shaotian's dinner reception and left the Xuanyin Sect.
Liang Shaotian asked Xiang Jinglong to come over in person to express his gratitude, but Lu Changan also refused.
Lu Changan gave Xiang Jinglong a valuable birthday gift to reassure him that he would not cause trouble for him.
Back then, in the middle and lower classes of the world of immortality, this person was allowed to take the blame to gain time for Lu Changan to stabilize his cultivation and develop.
Nowadays, the positions of both camps are consistent, and the past grievances and feuds cannot be mentioned.
Bearing this cause and effect, Lu Changan could not give away the rare Lingbei items to his youngest son Xiang Shaolong without any expression.
Lu Changan took the Xuan Shui Turtle and left Xuanyin Sect.
When leaving the border of Jing Kingdom, Lu Changan glanced at the north side of Xuanyin Sect, in the direction of the Black Mist Mountains, and showed a hint of fear.
During this conversation with Leader Liang, he learned a difficult secret about Da Qing.
In the black mist mountains that cross Daqing, there are rumors that there is a "human-faced dragon" with quasi-true spirit bloodline.
That human-faced dragon has a long lifespan. Although it has not reached the late fourth level, it is rumored that the leaders of the Six Demonic Sects or the Ten Xuanmen Sects are quite afraid of it and dare not go to the Black Mist Mountains to develop their power.
Fortunately, the rumored "Human-faced Jiao" reached an agreement with the evil leader of the Daqing Middle Territory many years ago, and he and the human monks are on equal footing.
If the human monks don't take the initiative to provoke them, the human-faced dragon won't do anything either.
"There are many wonders in the world of immortal cultivation. Even if Daqing does not have a Nascent Soul cultivator, it cannot be too high-profile. Otherwise, it may be noticed in advance by powerful and mysterious beings..."
Lu Changan secretly thought to himself that after returning to Daqing Realm for the first time, he could be a little more steady, and he was indeed not wrong.
A few days later.
Lu Changan rode on the Xuanshui giant turtle, crossed the wasteland and natural chasm between the two countries, and finally arrived at the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, which had been apart for nearly a hundred years.
