Lin Xiaodong stayed at Chonghua Palace that night and returned to the upper realm early the next morning.
On this day, when Yantai Chunlan Road went to the upper boundary and reached Yangyun Cave in Jiaojin Mountain, Qiao Juetang was meditating under a tree in the back mountain and called his disciple Ding Ming.
Ding Ming saluted and asked, "What are your instructions, teacher?"
Qiao Jue said solemnly: "Go and invite some of your uncles."
Ding Ming went down the mountain and invited four immortals to meet Qiao Juetang in the lobby.
All the immortals were sitting in a row, enjoying the clean cave in Laoping Mountain. Wang Ziwu asked: "Brother, why did you call me to come with you?"
Qiao Juetang didn't answer but asked: "How is Anshan Road?"
At that time, Han Zhu from Ningtong Cave in Yuanshan Mountain said: "Brother, now there are two immortal heads coming out of Anshan. One is Liu Chengshao from Mingchang Cave in Quanya Mountain, and the other one is Shen Xiangjun from Liangji Cave in Guangwu Mountain."
Qin Haoqing, who was visiting the Xingyi Cave in Hebo Mountain, said disdainfully: "How can a female prostitute be the head of an immortal?"
Ji Qi from Yuanchu Cave in Taiya Mountain said in surprise: "Senior Brother, is it possible that he wants to attack Anshan Road?"
Qiao Juetang nodded and smiled without saying a word.
Wang Ziwu was overjoyed: "Senior brother, now that Anshan Road is in discord and we have lost men and horses, it is the right time to take advantage of the situation!"
Han Zhu stroked his palm and said, "If we take action at this time, how can Anshan Dao be able to fight back?"
Qin Haoqing was eager to give it a try: "It's time to settle the centuries-old feud with Anshan Road!"
Qiao Jue said: "Yao Jizhong was stupid. He first attacked Xinnan Road, and then Yao Di Road, but failed to defeat him. He became a laughing stock and died. It is the retribution of karma. Now it is our turn to be a leader."
You are so majestic! Dear brothers, please go back and make early plans to set off tomorrow!"
The immortals took the order and left.
But it is said that in the upper boundary of Chun'an Mountain Road in Yantai and in Liangji Cave in Guangwu Mountain, Shen Xiangjun was sitting on the blue swimming bed. Suddenly, on a whim, he summoned his disciple Xia Qing.
Xia Qingqi asked: "What are your instructions, teacher?"
Shen Xiangjun said: "Go and invite your four uncles."
Seeing Shen Xiangjun's worried look, Xia Qing went down the mountain and invited Jiang Si from Zhenyang Cave in Shuoting Mountain, Ren Zhaoshu from Ganguo Cave in Fu'an Mountain, Qi Yan from Daowu Dong in Rongguan Mountain, and Renhe Dongge Xuan from Pengbi Mountain.
The Four Immortals came to the hall to pay homage to Lord Shen Xiang. Jiang Si asked, "Why did sister summon us?"
Shen Xiangjun looked to the north with a solemn expression: "Qiao Juetang is coming."
As soon as these words came out, all the immortals turned pale.
Ren Zhaoshu asked in panic: "What should we do?"
Qi Yan clenched his fists and glared angrily: "Fight them! Even if I, Anshan Dao, don't have the Immortal Head, I won't be afraid of them, Lan Chang Dao Xiao Xiao!"
Ge Xuan worriedly said: "We are the only ones who can rely on us, but we are no match for Qiao Juetang."
Shen Xiangjun sighed: "We are facing a formidable enemy. Only by joining forces with Liu Chengshao can we be sure of victory."
Jiang Si spread his hands: "Liu Chengshao hates me to the core, how can he join forces with us?"
Lord Shen Xiang said: "The upper realm of Anshan Road is in danger and cannot be controlled by him."
Ren Zhaoshu shook his head: "Qiao Juetang is calling. It's lucky that Liu Chengshao didn't stab us in the back. How can he share the same hatred with us?"
Shen Xiangjun looked at the distant mountains: "Whether Liu Chengshao cooperates or not, we have to show our attitude first. I will send a letter to him as soon as I can take precautions when I return home."
Jiang Si and others dispersed.
Liu Chengshao received a letter from Lord Shen Xiang that day, and summoned his eldest disciple Huang Quan, saying, "Go and invite Master Shen and the others to come."
Huang Quan took the order and left, inviting the four immortals Shen Xingwen from Guangyun Cave in Yijin Mountain, Feng Xuan from Lianzhen Cave in Jiao'an Mountain, Wu Zhen from Zhengzhan Cave in Liangying Mountain, and Wei Qian from Qingyuan Cave in Yunping Mountain to meet with Liu Chengshao in the lobby.
Liu Chengshao took the letter and said: "Shen Xiangjun sent a letter saying that Qiao Juetang is coming and wants to join forces with us."
Shen Xingwen curled his lips after hearing this: "Does Qiao Juetang have the guts?"
Feng Xuan grinned and inhaled: "It didn't happen before, but it's not necessarily the case now. Yao Xian's death has changed the situation."
Wu Zhen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "It's really abominable, a bunch of villains who are making trouble!"
Wei Qian pounded the table angrily: "It's all Lin Xiaodong! If it weren't for him, why would the upper world of Anshan Road be like this?"
Liu Chengshao waved his hand: "We will discuss Lin Xiaodong's matter later, but we will discuss Qiao Jue Hall first."
Shen Xingwen asked: "Are they really going to fight?"
Feng Xuan spread his hands: "If it were you, wouldn't you fight?"
Wu Zhen nodded: "Now that the Taoist immortals in Anshan have withered, split into two, and their hearts are not aligned, Qiao Juetang may indeed take advantage of the opportunity to take action."
Wei Qian sighed softly: "If the immortals of Lan Changdao really come to attack, even if they join forces with Lord Shen Xiang, the chance of winning is not great."
Liu Chengshao said: "We have no choice. I will reply to the letter and ask Shen Xiangjun to come over, first to discuss the matter, and secondly to see what kind of people she has recruited."
That night, Shen Xiangjun received a reply, and Liu Chengshao asked her to go to Mingchang Cave early tomorrow morning.
Shen Xiangjun suspected it was a trap and ordered Xia Qing to invite Jiang Si and others.
Jiang Si asked: "Did Liu Chengshao reply?"
Shen Xiangjun picked up the letter and showed it to everyone, saying, "He asked me to go to his Mingchang Cave tomorrow morning."
Jiang Si shook his head: "It's obviously a trap."
Ren Zhaoshu said: "He shouldn't be so shameless that he would attack his comrades first in front of a powerful enemy, right?"
Qi Yan said: "We just ignore him. If he still cares about the upper realm of Anshan Road, he will come if Qiao Juetang calls."
Ge Xuan disagreed: "It was my senior brother who gave him the letter to go first. If we don't go, we will become a handle."
Jiang Si waved his fist and said, "Then go. If we all go together, how can we be afraid of him?"
Ren Zhaoshu also agreed: "Yes, senior brother, we will go together."
Shen Xiangjun hesitated: "My dear brother, if you come with me, you will be making your position clear."
Qi Yan said: "A fight with Liu Chengshao is inevitable. Sooner or later we will fall out."
Ge Xuan nodded heavily: "Yes, senior brother, we are not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Xiangjun nodded: "Okay, then tomorrow morning, everyone will come with me and show Liu Chengshao what kind of people we are."
Early on the second day, Shen Xiangjun, Xia Qing, Jiang Si, Ren Zhaoshu, Qi Yan, and Ge Xuan came to Mingchang Cave together.
Outside the mountain gate, Liu Chengshao, Huang Quan, Shen Xingwen, Feng Xuan, Wu Zhen and Wei Qian were lined up in a strict order.
When Liu Chengshao saw that Shen Xiangjun had many supporters, no less than himself, he couldn't help but his eyes darkened.
Shen Xiangjun bowed from a distance: "Long time no see, Brother Liu Dao."
Liu Chengshao put on a smile and saluted, "How are you doing, sister?"
Shen Xiangjun looked to the north: "Senior Brother Lao is worried about me, and I have to be on guard against Qiao Jue Hall all day long. It's not a good idea."
Liu Chengshao nodded and sighed: "Yes, brother Yao Dao died young, and the burden fell on our brothers and sisters."
Shen Xiangjun lowered his head and said, "My sister is not sensible, so my Taoist brother should be more considerate."
Liu Chengshao glanced at Jiang Si and the others and said, "My sister has many capable people. From now on, in Anshan Road, you might as well be the leader of the immortals."
Shen Xiangjun rolled his eyes, raised his hands and saluted: "My sister is a female, and she doesn't know the general situation, how can she take on such a big responsibility?
When it comes to being the first immortal, senior brother is the most suitable one."
Liu Chengshao did not comment, stretched out his hand and said: "Everyone, please come quickly."
The group went to the lobby and lined up on both sides, with Liu Chengshao sitting in the main seat and Shen Xiangjun sitting in the guest seat.
