Chapter 409: Changes within the church, defection of key members

Chapter 409: Changes within the church, defection of key members

This greeting echoed directly on the top of the mountain, and the entire Tianfu Mountain was shocked.

Many disciples walking up and down the mountain hurriedly poked their heads around, looking for sounds in the distance.

The disciples who were practicing and doing tasks in the main halls of each cave also came out and looked around.

Everyone could tell that the voice just now clearly came from the deputy head of the Chuanfa Hall, Gao Dazhong.

Over the years, the reputation of being tall and big has not gone down well with the Xun Gu Sect.

Even many disciples despise him.

Of course, even if you are secretly despised, you still have to be respectful on the surface.

This person is ruthless and can be regarded as a sharp knife in the Xun Gu Sect. He often takes on all kinds of difficult jobs and does whatever it takes to complete them.

Therefore, he has won the trust of senior officials of Xungu Sect.

However, among the lower-level disciples, most of whom came from various academies and were familiar with Confucian classics, they disliked his despicable behavior.

On the other hand, Gao Daodao goes his own way, does not form a party for personal gain at all, and is not gregarious, as long as there is value for use.

He knew very well what the nature of the Xun Gu Sect was.

Basically, they only serve the leader and deputy leader who are so high above the others that the divine dragon never sees the beginning or end!

What's the use of getting along with the disciples below? Can you lend me a loan shark or something like that?

By the way, it is worth mentioning that since the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" incident ended that year, he quietly incorporated Lao Mo's loan shark organization.

This is also the reason why the poor reputation of the cultivators in the Huo Huo cultivation world is not good both internally and externally.

But with the assistance of external forces, going out to do tasks will always be beneficial, and it will not ruin the reputation of Xun Gu Sect while passing the blame, killing two birds with one stone.

In addition, he has been a fish trader since he was a child. When the Lin Chamber of Commerce opened up the seafood and aquatic products industry, he could also provide a lot of help, which won the appreciation of the general manager Lu Xiuming.

Now three years have passed, Wu Hanqiao, the master of Chuanfa Hall, can no longer suppress him.

"Well, you are a great person, this leader will remember you!"

Lin Shan glanced slightly, nodded his head without hesitation, and stepped forward without stopping.

His father had hoped that this person would "set sail and become bigger and stronger" since he was a child, so the name was quite casual.

This guy was only in the middle stage of foundation building when he came here, and now in the blink of an eye, he is already in the late stage of foundation building!

He seems to be a talented person and worth keeping an eye on.

Gao Daoda was trembling with excitement. He didn't expect to be remembered by the leader, so he trotted behind him. He had the potential to be a bitch.

Along the road, many disciples saw the young man in white coming on the wind. Some old people felt vaguely familiar, while the newcomers did not quite recognize him.

"What are you doing? Don't block the road! The leader is coming, get out of the way!"

Gao Daoda shouted at the disciples on both sides, directly expelled the unsighted disciples, and opened the way for Lin Shan.

A flash of appreciation flashed across the corner of Lin Shan's mouth, and he gave him an affirmative look.

This guy was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

After the two of them passed by.

The disciples gathered together later, whispering to each other in twos and threes.

"That was our leader just now? He was too young!"

"The young man's golden elixir is so beautiful that he is worthy of being a self-made genius!"

"Yes, yes, the name of the leader has spread throughout the Lu Kingdom in recent years. It is said that he is as good as Zhong Shenxiu of Bailu Academy and Shui Bingyue of Jingyang Academy!"

"Tch, Zhong Shenxiu is okay. After all, he is also a genius of the immortal world. How good is Shui Bingyue? Is he worthy of being compared with my leader?"

"It's not like being high and mighty. He usually treats us with arrogance, but when he sees the leader coming, he starts to wag his tail, ah, what the hell is that?"

This group of disciples saw the young man's golden elixir with their own eyes for the first time, and a feeling of admiration arose spontaneously.

In recent years, with the exposure of Hexiang Garden in Jiangning City, Linshan's record of being able to counterattack the Golden Core Stage during the Foundation Establishment Stage has also spread.

The Jindan real person of the Dai family who was stationed in Wangyue City was killed in the Juesha Tiankeng by Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord who were still in the foundation building stage at that time. This has been confirmed by various forces who went to the local area to investigate.

The name of the immortal genius gradually spread.

With the help of interested people, he was even compared to Zhong Shenxiu, the only living genius of the Lu Kingdom, and he was at the forefront of the limelight for a while.

However, most people don't agree.

They felt that it was not that easy for the Immortal Prodigy. Lin Shan probably had the assistance of Elder Hei Ku of the Xun Gu Sect, the ‘formation master’, to have the chance to kill Jin Dan Zhenren.

Therefore, the main force should be Heikuzhenren, and Linshan is just a support player.

The formation master's own status is no less than that of the golden elixir stage monks. In addition, in a place like the Juesha Tiankeng, he has mental arithmetic and careless intentions, so it is reasonable to kill him beyond the level.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone in the Xun Gu Sect, the leader is a genius of the immortal world. He must hold his head high and be confident and proud wherever he goes. This is his family's signature!

As soon as Lin Shan broke through the golden elixir stage, he was able to go to Jingchuan, Ludong, and kill the Jiu Youmen Qiu protector, who was once the great demon sect of the Chu Kingdom, and his strength was recognized by everyone.

He is indeed a young and handsome man, but his reputation as an immortal genius is still open to question.

Now that all the disciples have seen with their own eyes the peerless talent of the young Jin Dan, they are naturally more convinced of their subjective judgment.

The leader must be an immortal genius!

No matter how awesome Zhong Shenxiu is, can he be a young golden elixir?

As for Shui Bingyue, one of the three most famous beauties in the Lu Kingdom, Nascent Soul Seed, has disillusioned many male cultivators in the Lu Kingdom since it was revealed that she was Lily, and there are many who are driven by love and hatred.

This is just like when a popular celebrity is revealed to be in a relationship or getting married, many of her fanatic fans will directly turn into blackmailers, which is unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, there is one in the Xun Gu Sect.

As for being a high-ranking person, everyone feels unlucky when they see him. He is a scum of the cultivation world who makes loan sharks. Many girls are stuck in the quagmire because of this and are unable to extricate themselves. He is really not a thing.

Come to the main hall on the top of the mountain.

The senior officials of Xun Gu Sect had heard the commotion and gathered to greet them.

The chief manager, Lu Xiuming, led a group of people from the Internal Affairs Hall.

Mu Yan from the Foreign Affairs Hall led a group of Mu family members.

Wu Hanqiao of the Chuanfa Hall brought a group of people from the academy sect.

These people each have their own teams and factions, which is normal.

However, the Formation Hall only had a group of disciples and grandsons of Master Zhankong, but the old man, the master of the hall, did not come.

"Where is Master Zhankong?"

Lin Shan looked around, but he really didn't see the old man.

Lu Xiuming reported back to him.

"Master Zhankong has been in seclusion for more than two years in order to break through the golden elixir stage. Only Elder Heiku can enter the secret room to communicate with him."

Lin Shan was a little surprised when he heard this. This old boy has been saving his fortune for most of his life, and finally he has enough confidence to take a chance on the Golden Elixir Stage?

In the past two years, the Black Skull Demon Lord has often visited him, not only to help take care of him, but also to borrow materials to help fight in Linshan over there.

But nothing has gone wrong so far, so I think everything is on track. There are many ways to break through the golden elixir stage.

Let’s not talk about streaking on your own to see a lucky breakthrough.

There are also many spiritual objects, spiritual places, and elixirs that can assist. Some are good, some are bad, some are expensive, and some are cheap.

Master Zhankong is in seclusion in his own sect, and his middle-grade spiritual veins are pretty good. He opened a small stove for himself, arranged several buff formations, and then worked as a formation master for so many years, so he must be worth a lot of money.

I think I have planned all kinds of auxiliary things by myself, so I don’t need others to worry about it.

Lin Shan nodded and looked to the side.

The two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong, the two tyrants of Yushan under Mu Yan, stood there honestly, still looking stupid.

At the Intelligence Hall, the subjugated prince Li Yuanjie is also here. He has become much more capable recently and has many elites behind him.

Wu Hanqiao also broke through to the middle stage of foundation building. Although he was a little later than that kid Mu Yan, he was still a genius.

The key thing is that behind him, there are three more young people who are in the early stages of foundation building. After introduction, they turned out to be juniors from Jingyang Academy. After graduation, they learned that the seniors were doing well in Xungu Sect, so they came here to join them.

Lin Shan is very satisfied and has no dissatisfaction with the growing power of the 'Academy Sect' in the religion. After all, it is still a small fight now. It is the rising period when everyone is needed to contribute to the flames. The more natural talents, the better.

Mu Yan's face looked very ugly. His 'family faction' and 'academy faction' had been competing for so long and were gradually at a disadvantage.

How can a small family compare its probability of becoming a genius with graduates from major academies?

These newly recruited academy students will naturally surrender to Wu Hanqiao Dharma Hall. This is a natural faction.

In the Foreign Affairs Hall, had it not been for the strength of the two tyrants of Yushan in the later stages of foundation building, they would have had no right to speak.

When the Xun Gu Sect was first established, there was also the Donghai Loose Cultivator, a follower faction of the Demonic Black Lotus Sect. They were among the first group of old people to follow Lin Shan.

In recent years, due to the end of their lifespan, less than ten people have gradually died, and they are all getting old and stay in the Black Skeleton Demon Lord's cave to take care of themselves and do other things.

Lin Shan could only sigh slightly at this point.

Fifty years have passed since he first entered the Black Lotus Sect when he was building the foundation, and now he has established his own branch.

These casual cultivators from the East China Sea are not qualified to begin with, and they have been wandering all the way, missing the best years of practice. None of them can break through the foundation building period. It is normal for their lifespan to be almost at the end.

This is how the world of cultivation is, a new generation replaces the old.

Lin Shan already had some experience with this, so he didn't force it.

The sect also needs fresh blood, which does not mean that resources must be given to the elderly to forcibly retain their original memories.

There is no need to attach too much importance to life, old age, illness and death. The road ahead is still long and I will experience more.

Just let the gang of East China Sea boys follow the Black Skeleton Demon Lord and slowly live out their lives in Tianfu Mountain. It would not be bad to die in peace.

After looking around, Lin Shan seemed to think of someone again.

"Where's Yu Jiao Niang?"

This little girl got into trouble because she went around collecting supplements, so she came to the Xun Gu Sect in an attempt to escape, but was taken as a concubine by the Black Skull Demon Lord.

Later, he failed to manage the information hall well, and was kicked out of the position of hall leader by Lin Shan. He has not participated in the decision-making level since then, but he is still the backbone of the foundation building period. I didn't see him today.

"Reporting to the leader, Yu Jiao Niang defected a month ago when Elder Heiku was out."

"It is said that he couldn't bear Elder Heiku's whipping and taking supplements day and night, and he often got beaten and scolded when he had bad sex, so he ran away overnight."

"After I got out, I spread the word everywhere that I taught how to be overbearing, unreasonable, and disobedient to the law. The mountains and the mountains were full of smoke and smoke."

Wu Hanqiao answered quickly, his voice gradually lowering as he spoke, for fear that Lin Shan would be angry.

Everyone in the church was filled with indignation and hated this woman's shamelessness.

Not only defecting, but also going out to slander the Xungu religion everywhere, which is a typical example of cheating.

If she hadn't been the concubine of Elder Hei Ku, and it was inconvenient for his group to intervene, they would have mobilized all their strength to go out and capture this woman and execute her.

Lin Shan was displeased on the spot when he heard that someone dared to slander the sect he founded.

He knew that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord said he was going out at that time, but in fact he was teleported to the outer void and the cliff forbidden area by him through the summoning flag, and joined forces with him to deal with Qingyang Peak.

That's why Yu Jiaoniang was given the opportunity to escape.

After the Black Skull Demon Lord came back, he was busy repairing the magic weapon all day long, and had no time to pay attention to the mess. He might not even know about Yu Jiaoniang's defection.

"I'm already aware of this matter. It's just a minor matter. Let's discuss it later."

Lin Shan waved his hand, a mere defection in the foundation building period was nothing worth caring about to him.

Just wait until the Black Skull Demon Lord frees up his hands and lets it resolve itself.

After all, Yu Jiaoniang is his concubine, and there is no need for him to overstep his bounds, and the disease of mustard moss is not even considered, it is insignificant.

Surrounded by everyone, Lin Shan walked up to the main hall.

The leader's throne at the end of the hall has not been sat on for so many years, and it is still spotless.

Naturally, the people under my command are always diligent in brushing, so that no dust or anything else will be left behind.

Lin Shan sat in his exclusive seat, leaning on the back of the throne, feeling a long-lost sense of relaxation.

Back at home, my tense nerves could finally relax.

Everyone below saw the leader squinting his eyes and taking a rest, so they didn't dare to disturb him and could only wait quietly.

a long time.

Lin Shan slowed down for a moment and finally spoke.

"If anything big happened during my absence in the past three years, please pick some key points and talk about it!"

He still closed his eyes and rested his mind, tapping his fingers gently on the armrest, his voice was very soft and rhythmic, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Lu Xiuming, the general manager below, came out and began to report.

He also knew the importance and chose some major events to report.

As for such a trivial matter as Yu Jiaoniang's defection, it is nothing compared to the current situation where the Xun Gu Sect has two Jindan Daoists and more than ten foundation-building monks.

"Master, since you left, the overall situation in Lu has not been much turbulent in the past few years. All disputes and conflicts are within each region and have not risen to the level of orderly reshuffle."

"The major ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage are still living abroad and have not returned yet. Their internal information has also been tightly blocked by the big forces and has not been circulated."

"There is a turbulent undercurrent here in Luxi. The redistribution of interests caused by the collapse of the Dai family has been gradually digested, so the relatively peaceful vacuum buffer period has ended, and many people have turned their attention to the Lujiang River Basin."

"Because the Lujiang League has lost the support of the ancestor of the Yang family, many forces are ready to move, teasing, and even ready to attack, just waiting for the dust to settle in the cliff forbidden area."

"A month ago, a rumor came out from nowhere. It was said that among the Yang family, a family of cultivators, the soul lamp of the ancestor of the Yang family suddenly went out, and the alliance leader had fallen into the forbidden land on the cliff."

"As soon as the news came out, and we didn't know whether it was true or not, it caused an uproar. Many forces have sent people to the headquarters to express their condolences. It was obviously to express condolences, but in fact it was a test, and even forced the palace!"

"Master, I don’t know the ancestor of the Yang family"

Lu Xiuming raised his head hesitantly. The two of them followed him together before setting off, but afterward, Lin Shan came back alone. It was inevitable that there would be bad suspicions.

The importance of the ancestors of the Yang family in the Lujiang League is self-evident, and everyone knows his weight.

If something really happened
