In the evening, the sky was getting dark and it started to rain lightly.

Dots of broken beads splashed in the lotus pond.

Everyone chatted all afternoon, but there were still unfinished thoughts.

Young Master Jiuyou talked the most with Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu, because these two were both immortal geniuses and opponents worthy of his respect.

As for the others, in the eyes of Young Master Jiuyou, the "Second Generation of Demons", they are not qualified at all. After all, he also has big people investing behind him, and his vision is not at the same level at all.

During this period, he had mentioned implicitly many times that he was willing to form a team with Lin Shan to go to the Swallowing Star Mountains.

But he was pushed away by Yang family ancestors and others.

The three ancestors of the Yang family obviously felt that Lin Shan, the immortal genius, was more worthy of dating. The black-robed young man Wu Yazi was of unknown origin and was placed in the team for fear of causing trouble.

In addition, the team of four of them is already a bit saturated. They are afraid that they will not have enough points to meet the treasure by then. How can they bring others with them?

Young Master Jiuyou didn't force it. When he found out that he was not welcome, he stopped immediately, for fear of being discovered by Lin Shan.

Then he hooked up with Zhong Shenxiu from Bailu Academy.

The two met and hit it off immediately, and it didn't take long for them to reach an agreement and decide to form a team together.

This made the older generation in the field very worried, and some Jindan masters also began to look for a team with friendship, fearing that they would be defeated by each other, and they would not even be able to get a drink of soup.

Lin Shan also felt solemn. Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu were mixed together. The combination of "Second Generation Demon" and "Second Generation Immortal" was really a big threat.

But fortunately, I still have three brothers beside me, and they are still the strongest in the game.

Fairy Yueshang frowned slightly. She didn't understand why Zhong Shenxiu didn't go alone, but instead went with an unknown cultivator. Didn't he know that the matter was a secret ordered by his elders?

Forget it, it would be better if he screws up, and then all the benefits will belong to me, Jingyang Academy.

Immortal genius?

tuberculosis?

If you can deceive others, can you also deceive me?

Fairy Yueshang no longer lingered here, turned around, held up a flower umbrella, walked out of the garden, and left first.

The rest of the people also knew that they understood it almost, and dispersed one after another to prepare for the next step.

Lin Shan and the ancestors of the Yang family used their auras to protect their bodies, and the rain hitting the light barrier formed a line with a "plop-pap-pap" sound. They said goodbye to the great elder of the Zhenyue Sect and the master of the Xuchan Cave, and left together.

He could be heard from time to time on the road, and the content of the conversation was inseparable from himself. When he saw him passing by, the monks also put on smiles, which made him very uncomfortable.

…

Returning to the attic of the Yang family, a family of cultivators, in Jiangning City, they ignored the noise in the hall.

The two went up the stairs to the guest room.

Closed the door.

Every room here is soundproofed, so you don't have to worry about being overheard from outside.

The ancestors of the Yang family and Lin Shan sat down separately, made a pot of tea and started chatting about their own affairs.

"Master Lin, please tell me whether the death of the Jindan Master of the Dai family in Wangyue City was really your fault?"

The ancestor of the Yang family looked solemn, as if he needed to confirm again.

Looking at his expression, Lin Shan seemed to have guessed something.

"That's right, but Elder Heikku is a master of formations. He used the power of Juesha Tiankeng to set up the phantom killing formation. We each contributed about half of it. Many of the coincidences are stacked together, which is a fluke in itself."

After hearing the affirmative answer, the ancestor of the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter. Since you were able to defeat the golden elixir at that time, you are a well-deserved genius of the immortal world. There is no need to force or force. What's more, the protector of the Nine Nether Sect died cleanly in your hands, which is enough to prove your strength. So I'm going on this trip.

It can be said that I have some confidence in my heart."

"Oh? Listen to the alliance leader..."

Lin Shan saw something in his words and looked thoughtful.

"This time you and I, together with the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave, are traveling together. It seems that the lineup is strong, and we have also made a unanimous agreement with the outside world. But where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes..."

The ancestor of the Yang family had wrinkles on his face as he patiently pondered.

"Though those two old friends had a close friendship with me back then, hundreds of years have passed and I have been leading the Yang family and the Dai family in the Lujiang River Basin to fight openly and secretly. There is no more interaction between them in northern Shandong and eastern Shandong except for correspondence.

But the two of them often walked around together, and their relationship with each other became stronger and closer over time."

"Coupled with a series of changes later, two former friends of the Dai family died in my hands, causing the remaining two to be wary and prejudiced against me in their hearts. Although they seemed calm on the surface, I could feel the indifference.

The alienation of Dan, I think I will never be able to go back to the past..."

The ancestor of the Yang family lamented the impermanence of the world, and was obviously helpless at the look of anger in the eyes of the good brothers in the past when they were talking to each other.

Lin Shan also noticed something in the lotus pond during the day. The great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave obviously had a closer relationship. The ancestor of the Yang family sometimes wandered on the edge, lacking a tacit understanding that had been developed over the years.

Even when five people from Yunchuan Academy became sworn brothers, the ancestor of the Yang family killed two brothers in a row. This is human nature for anyone to be on guard against.

Regardless of whether you have a feud or a rivalry between families, the black history of brother murder cannot be erased.

"So, I just opened the skylight and spoke frankly. The four of us will join forces at the introduction. In private, the two of us are still a team."

Lin Shan immediately understood what the ancestor of the Yang family meant, which was equivalent to dividing the team into separate factions.

Two against two.

He and the ancestors of the Yang family faced off against the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave.

On the surface, they maintain a reluctant balance of numbers so that they can report to the outside world in unison when encountering an accident. If they discover or obtain any natural treasures, then the two of them will help each other and fight for each other's interests.

The ancestor of the Yang family naturally had his own considerations in doing this.

First of all, the other two old friends formed a circle of their own and were naturally defensive about him. He could only join forces with Lin Shan to start a new business as a bargaining chip to fight against each other.

Furthermore, Linshan’s Xun Gu Sect and their Yang family are both part of the Lujiang Alliance, a geopolitical alliance.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This kind of alliance is actually more reliable than the so-called old brotherhood.

In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Lin Shan is a member of the Lujiang League, and the ancestor of the Yang family is the leader of the Lujiang League. The two naturally have interests bound together.

What's more, Lin Shan's identity as the Immortal Prodigy has now been revealed. If he is no longer around in the future, if the Lujiang League wants to maintain its current base and even become bigger and stronger, perhaps this burden will have to be handed over to this young man.

In the eyes of the ancestor of the Yang family, since he can destroy the Dai family and kill two old brothers for the sake of the family, he can also win over geniuses and stalemate with the other two old brothers for the Yang family. This is a normal choice for him.

.

His original idea was to bring Elder Heiku from Tianfu Mountain over. There would be a formation master in the team, who would be able to balance the power of those two people.

Later, when he brought Lin Shan here, he was already prepared to fight alone and did not expect Lin Shan to be of any help. After all, it was impossible for a warrior to go deep into the forbidden area and whether he could save his life.

After witnessing Lin Shan's hidden achievements today, the ancestors of the Yang family were overjoyed. Now they can take out the preparations they had made before, which also gives each other an extra layer of protection. In the future, they can not only take care of each other secretly on the road, but also when encountering danger or sharing treasures.

, I won’t be too passive.

Lin Shan nodded, the Yang family ancestor's actions were exactly what he wanted.

Because who knows if I go looking for reed jade stalactites this time, I will be targeted by Young Master Jiuyou...

He also needs allies to rely on to deal with the threat posed by Young Master Jiuyou. The more people, the better, and that guy will not dare to attack him.

Of course, you can't completely leave your back to others. It's right to keep an eye on everything.

And not only must he be careful not to lose the Star Gate device, he must also rely on this sense in the future. He may be able to follow the clues and secretly follow Young Master Jiuyou into True Lord Jade Star's secret...

Lin Shan was naturally jealous of True Lord Jade Star's inheritance, but he didn't know much about it. He only had a general understanding of it after hearing a brief description from his subordinate Li Yuanjie.

Finally there is a clue here, so naturally I hold on to it tightly and cannot let go.

After the ancestor of the Yang family settled a matter of concern, he left with satisfaction.

However, Lin Shan could feel that the overlord of the Lujiang League seemed to have some unspeakable secrets and worries about the future during his trip, which cast a layer of gloom in his heart.

…

In the blink of an eye, time passed quietly.

At the end of June and the beginning of July, the stars are surging.

Beyond the sky, beyond the endless world, a star palace stands in the eternal void, with clusters of nebulae supporting the palace. It is magnificent and illuminates the universe.

"Winter~~~"

"Winter~~~"

"Winter~~~"

The melodious bells spread throughout the sea of ​​​​stars, and countless stars and sand began to rise and fall following the sound like waves.

In the huge star palace, on the white jade stone steps in front of the main hall.

A thin child opened the door. It looked like he was just a small star servant in the Star Palace. He had a gauze cap on his head and a whisk in his arm.

"The time has come, the star orbits have adjusted, and the sub-stars have fallen."

"start!"
