Chapter 425: Make new friends and return to the mountain to collect debt
The atmosphere in the hall was anxious and tense for a while.
No one expected that this young Xun Gu leader, who was originally very humble and polite, would suddenly fall out of favor at any given moment.
Lin Shan was thinking very broadly. Looking at the situation, the people in Shangyang Academy were obviously going to make a fuss about this, so why should he be conceited?
Dealing with them will not only waste your time and energy, but will eventually push you further, so it is better to just fight to the end!
In the past, when I had no strength, I would just pretend to be a grandson.
Now that your strength has increased, why are you still afraid of him?
The Lujiang Alliance covers the entire Lujiang River Basin, and there are hundreds of forces, large and small. Jindan Zhenren alone has more than thirty, and there are also some who are not easy to mess with!
Although there is a bit of a gap between it and established forces like Shangyang Academy, its size and scale are generally considered to be on the same level.
There are so many factions in Shangyang Academy, and not all of them may have an old relationship with Jingxuan, but he can only cover the sky in Lujiang League!
What's more, one is in western Shandong and the other is in northwest, what can you do to me?
Upon seeing this, the three professors from Yunchuan Academy quickly broke up the fight to prevent the situation from getting worse.
This script was obviously wrong and inconsistent with their original intention.
"You two calm down, don't act out of anger!"
"Our original intention is to invite both parties to meet, hoping that the misunderstanding can be resolved. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk."
"We also deeply regret the incident involving Jingxuan and the two elders, but people cannot be resurrected. Leader Lin was also forced to defend himself that day. We should each be considerate."
Master Shang Geng sneered, unmoved at all.
"Forced to defend yourself?"
"Joke!"
"There were so many people present that day, and there are rumors that many witnesses saw with their own eyes that the leader of Xun Gu suddenly made a dangerous move during the negotiations, waiting for an opportunity to attack."
"Two senior brothers Jingxuan clearly just came to express condolences. Even though their words were a little fierce, there was no sign of taking action. Why did they talk about self-defense?"
"Young people who don't respect martial ethics, act in the opposite direction, and ignore order will eventually suffer backlash!"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this.
Looking at the problem from his point of view, when the two elders of Jingxuan came to threaten him, it was just the beginning of negotiations. Verbal threats and coercion were all normal operations.
Everyone can see that they have no intention of swallowing up the Lujiang League in one fell swoop. They just want you to cede territory and pay compensation first, and then eat away at it step by step.
In the end, you kid just flipped the table and killed the person with a backhand sneak attack. This is unjustifiable!
Lin Shan curled his lips, there was no need to explain to him.
To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster.
At that time, I had to swallow my anger. Could it be that I was waiting for the other party to keep making dirty tricks and just sit back and wait for death?
What's more, if I don't take action to kill the mastermind, how can I collect those fat men who come to my door?
Young Jindan’s time is precious, right?
There is no time to play conspiracies and tricks with you. Isn’t it good to have time to improve yourself?
Lin Shan is a person who is afraid of trouble. In order to avoid being troubled, he can only solve the source of the trouble once and for all.
It's just that the crisis on the Lujiang League side has been resolved. There are still connections between Jingxuan and Jingxuan in Shangyang Academy, so this falls into the uncontrollable category.
Fortunately, his body is now strong and his waist is straight, so he has no fear of the later stage of Jin Dan.
"You don't have to worry about whether this leader will suffer backlash or not. At least for now, I am living well. And you, come all the way here just to tell me this."
There was a smile on his lips, teasing sarcasm.
"How about you see the real seal under your hands?"
"?!!!"
The eyes of the whole audience were focused, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't help themselves.
Is this young man crazy?
A person in the early stage of Jin Dan dared to challenge the veteran professor of the late stage of Jin Dan. Did he really think that by secretly attacking and killing the two elders Jingxuan, he would be able to secure victory in the late stage of Jin Dan?
Master Shang Geng was also stunned on the spot.
Before he came, he had imagined how he would seek justice after meeting the Xun Gu leader.
But I didn't expect that this kid wouldn't even bother to defend himself, and he would take action!
Next to his hand, another voice came, with an inexplicable sour smell.
"Master Lin, you don't think that in the forbidden land of the cliff, relying on the demon king to support you and commanding demon soldiers and demon generals for a long time, you are really capable of surpassing the late stage of Jindan, right?"
"Huh?"
Lin Shan heard the sound and took a look, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance!
"Oh, who do I think it is? It turns out to be Zhenren Shang Ding."
He shook his head in a funny way. No wonder someone in this distant Luxi dug up the old accounts of the Cliff Forbidden Land.
That day in Hongya Cave, he held military power and forcefully snatched the reed jade stalactite from a group of people, thus offending many of his comrades.
Shi En Sanren is one of them, and this merchant's Master Shang Ding is also one of them.
However, Shi Ensanren was killed by Master Zhankong at the condolence meeting of the Lujiang League.
And this Master Shang Ding unexpectedly ran up to him inexplicably, and he was still at Yunchuan Academy!
The businessman from the Cultivation Family is one of the financial backers behind Shang Yang Academy, so it is understandable that they come together to communicate this time.
Um? wrong!
Is there any connection between Master Shang Ding and Master Shang Geng?
He had some guesses in his mind, but on the surface he remained calm, instead showing an expression of contempt.
"Master Shang Ding, my defeated general, spared your life in Hongya Cave that day. I didn't expect you to dare to scream in front of me today. Have you forgotten what happened to Shi En Sanren?"
"You!"
Master Shang Ding's face turned red and he raised his arms, wanting to point but not daring to point.
In front of so many Jindan masters, just this sentence made him lose face.
For the sake of the dignity of the businessman, since he intervened, he had no choice but to take over.
"Master Lin, you are threatening me with the fate of Shi En Sanren. Are you planning to kill me today?"
Everyone on the Shang Yang Academy side projected their energy to support Shang Ding.
"If you are not afraid of death, you can come here and give it a try!"
Lin Shan was not afraid to release his energy. He withstood all the pressure alone and did not fall behind at all!
If we can really fight, that would be the best.
He was about to return to the Song Dynasty and leave Lu for a while.
The Lujiang League had just been reborn, at a time when internal and external turmoil was shaky and the situation was not yet stable.
If you can establish your authority externally and use this battle to shock all outsiders, you will definitely be able to gain peace for a long time, and you can leave with peace of mind.
Therefore, he spoke fiercely, with hints of provocation in his words. He wanted to induce the other party to take action first, and he took the initiative over justice.
Of course, when I used Shi En Sanren to scare Master Shang Ding just now, I didn't really mean to kill him.
Not to mention that there are many late-stage golden elixirs here to watch, and I have no chance at all. Master Shang Ding himself is also in the middle stage of golden elixir. It is not easy to kill instantly when you are prepared. Master Shang Geng will not sit idly by. In fact, Master Shang Geng knew that Master Shang Ding was not Lin Shan's opponent, so he had no intention of letting him take action. Instead, he came out in person to have a fight with Lin Shan.
"Junior, you are crazy and addicted to killing. Let me take my place today and teach you a lesson!"
"What kind of relationship do you have with Master Shang Ding that you can fight me on his behalf?"
"I am also a merchant, and I am of the same race and lineage as him, so why can't I do it!"
"The merchants will not return to the merchants, but stay in Shangyang Academy as professors?"
Lin Shan wondered in his heart. After joining the neutral force, he would definitely not be able to do whatever he wanted as before. It would be equivalent to the family losing a late-stage Golden Core combat power on certain occasions. At most, it would provide some convenience in other aspects.
Haven't you seen the ancestors of the Dai family and the Yang family back then, and haven't you stayed at Yunchuan Academy as a professor?
Zhenren Zhou next to him sent him a message in time and told him the ins and outs.
"The merchant is an old giant family in the northwest. There is more than one real person in the late Jindan period in the family, so generally one person from each generation will settle in Shangyang Academy to serve as the family's foreign aid."
After hearing this, Lin Shan suddenly realized that no wonder Master Shang Ding was so brave and dared to shout like this to him.
However, even now, the late stage of Jin Dan cannot scare him. He will not know if he can beat him or not, you have to try it!
Just when he was about to leave and accept the invitation to compete, there was a sound from above.
"Wait!"
The three elders of Yunchuan Academy stopped them and came down to persuade them to sit down.
Master Gu's face darkened, with the toughness of his host and an unquestionable meaning.
"Both of you, you are both distinguished guests of Yunchuan Academy. If a fight breaks out this time, how will we, the hosts, deal with it?"
"Our original intention is for the three parties to meet and act as an intermediary for you. It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. We can laugh at each other and let go of grudges. We did not deliberately create conflicts to see you lively."
"If one party really makes any mistakes here, we can't explain it to Shangyang Academy and Lujiang League behind you."
"How about giving us some face and giving up for now?"
Lin Shan and Master Shang Geng looked at each other, then paused and reluctantly returned to their seats.
The face of Yunchuan Academy must be given.
After all, he is the host and he is the guest. If he comes here to be a guest and fights, he will be at odds with both emotions and reasons.
Moreover, Yunchuan Academy had helped him a lot just now, so he still had to respect it more or less.
As for the fact that you can't fight here, it's even more impossible to fight after you get out.
Now in the public eye, it is not only to establish prestige, but also for fairness.
After going out, there is no place to go, no store to stay, and there are so many people in Shangyang Academy. It is difficult for me to defeat them with just two fists. It is completely self-defeating to get together, so naturally it is not advisable.
The three elders had good intentions, but it was a pity that it was self-defeating. After today's meeting, the relationship between the two parties was finally forged.
However, Linshan didn't take it too seriously since there were too many lice but it didn't itch.
Master Shang Geng knew that this boy was incompetent and there was nothing he could do here, so he said no more.
But Master Shang Ding still had an inexplicable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Lin Shan.
Because the atmosphere was quite awkward, no matter how much we talked about it, it couldn't be relieved, so we had to break up the meeting.
It was not convenient for Lin Shan to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly resigned with the three professors and Zhenren Zhou, then flew out of Yunqi Cliff and turned into a rainbow and walked eastward.
If you have the fire, you will succeed in your studies, and there is no need to stay any longer.
On the mountain peak, people from Shang Yang Academy watched. Master Shang Ding asked Master Shang Geng: "Are we going to pursue him?"
The latter shook his head, turned around and walked away: "No need, let him go."
A group of people followed and left. Master Shang Ding pondered for a moment, took out a small bird, took out the talisman, whispered a few words, tied it to his paws and let it fly.
Looking at the direction, it is exactly the northwest of Lu State.
Tianfu Mountain, looking for ancient religions.
Lin Shan is back after a year and a half.
The mountain and the mountain are a little deserted at this time, and there are only a few people there. Most of them are out on missions. There have been a lot of things recently, and many places need to be used.
Lu Xiuming was reporting to him.
"The construction of the Immortal City over Xianyin Pond was officially started half a year ago. Elder Heiku and the heads of various families are supervising the construction. It is said to be huge in scale, with over 10,000 monks. Just the preliminary plan covers an area of hundreds of miles!"
"Recently, various small forces in the Lujiang River Basin have also applied to join the Lujiang Alliance. Deputy Alliance Leader Yang has also reviewed them one by one. A total of more than 200 have been accepted. Now the number of members of the forces in the alliance has reached 300!"
"All the forces in the Lujiang River Basin are within the river!"
"The investment from all forces within the alliance has been put in place, and the first batch of joint law enforcement teams has been established, witnessed by ten elders and thirteen law protectors."
"The Master Mu of the Foreign Affairs Hall, along with Song Zhong and Shang Lu, along with a large number of disciples, are going out to conquer and encroach on Chixiao City step by step."
"The senior deputy head of Chuanfa Hall also led a large number of disciples and non-staff personnel to secretly erode Happy Forest."
Lin Shan leaned against the leader's throne and nodded after listening.
As for the Lujiang League and Xianyinchi headquarters, he basically doesn't have to worry. With the Black Skull Demon Lord and Yang Zhenren in charge, there's probably nothing going to go wrong.
In order to minimize losses, Mu Yan and Gao Daoda were still bound by reputation and rules, and it was inconvenient to forcefully occupy other people's territory, so they chose to take a step-by-step approach like when Jing Xuan and his men led people to the Lujiang League. cannibalization strategy.
For example, Mu Yan secretly supported the son of the lord of Chixiao City in Chixiao City, and competed with other heirs for the position of city lord, achieving the goal of seizing power as a puppet and killing Li Daitao.
To grow taller and bigger, he means intruding from the outside while ordering his "non-staff personnel", that is, the loan shark organization that succeeded Lao Mo, to infiltrate and cause trouble internally. A two-pronged approach to attack steadily.
Lin Shan was not in a hurry, just treating it as military training. The Xun Gu Sect's bastards always had to go out and experience things, and find ways to find some place for them to practice.
"By the way, what will happen to the franchisees in other places in Luxi who owe us spiritual stones? Have Shiqu paid back?"
Lu Xiuming shook his head and said that he had not received a penny.
"It's still the same as before. If you default on payment, you'll have to take it to the end. And all of us in the sect have to build Immortal City recently and attack Chixiao City and Happy Forest. We really don't have the extra manpower to go outside the Lujiang River Basin to collect debts. So.”
"Hmph!"
Lin Shan felt unhappy at this moment. These grandsons had not paid back the money they owed for so long. Seeing that the Lujiang League had undergone earth-shaking changes, and they still dared to continue to oppose them, they must have the support of other forces in Luxi behind them.
And his top priority now is to find the magic weapon as soon as possible, and he also needs to spend time to warm it up. He has no time to deal with these messy bad debts, can he just keep putting it off?
"Master, I have a plan. We can get the debt back without any effort on our part. We just need to wait quietly and count the money."
Lin Shan looked down and saw that it was Li Yuanjie from the Intelligence Hall.
This kid has been running the intelligence hall conscientiously since he took refuge in him. He has never made any mistakes. He is a model of talking less and doing more. He has won everyone's praise for his stable character.
"If you have any ideas, tell me quickly!"
