Return to Golden Cloud, Leader of the Demonic Sect

Lan Chang'an did not deliberately hide his cultivation or identity, and sat calmly and comfortably on Mystic Water Turtle's back.

After entering the Liang Kingdom border, Sensing Array was immediately alerted and discovered by the patrolling monks.

The surging water escape spiritual pressure of the late-stage third-level spirit turtle made other monks afraid to approach, so they quickly reported it.

"Sir, is this True Person Changqing from Golden Cloud Valley a hundred years ago?"

After a moment, three Golden Core Realm Escape Light approached, one of them was thick and powerful, just like a Late Core Formation.

Flame Cloud Escape Light in the middle is a middle-aged monk in his forties or fifties wearing an ancient green war robe. He has gray hair on his temples, a stern look, and a straight back.

"It's Mr. Lu!"

Lan Chang'an nodded, as expected of being Liang Kingdom's hometown, being recognized so quickly.

There are three Core Formation Cultivator in front of me, two men and one woman.

Only the middle-aged and elderly monks in the middle, with Late Core Formation cultivation level, Lan Chang'an look a little familiar.

"I Tuoba Jin, Floating Cloud Sect Grand Elder..."

The middle-aged and elderly Core Formation Cultivator has sharp eyes and a pale golden light, confirming the authenticity of Lan Chang'an.

Boom!

Tuoba Jin's face was shocked. He sensed the Law Power aura on the visitor's body, which was as deep as the sea, and the secret technique of probing was dispersed by the invisible power of Nascent Soul.

His eyes were burning, as if he were looking directly into the blazing midday sun.

The three Core Formation Cultivator couldn't help but groan, showing expressions of shock and disbelief.

Back then, Turtle True Person, a strange person in the Rogue Cultivator world, actually broke through the shackles and climbed to the top of Cultivation World.

"Seen True Lord Lu!"

"Meet True Lord Changqing!"

Tuoba Jin The three Core Formation Cultivator were surprised and immediately bowed and saluted.

"Are you Tuoba Jin?"

Lan Chang'an's eyes fell on the middle-aged and elderly Core Formation Cultivator.

The angular features and gray hair that have been rounded by time can vaguely be traced back to before Yellow Dragon Immortal City, when as Floating Cloud Sect's proud figure, Foundation Establishment challenged False Core's heroic demeanor.

"Liang Kingdom Cultivation World, Core Formation Cultivator named Tuoba Jin, I should be the only one."

Tuoba Jin noticed the attention of True Lord Lu, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

He secretly wondered whether he had unintentionally offended this True Lord Lu at some point in the past.

In his youth, he was very ambitious and arrogant, and offended many people.

The two were monks of the same generation and were of similar age.

It's just that the two sides started out completely different. Before Golden Core Realm, they were not on the same level and had no communication at all.

Moreover, the time of Tuoba Jin Golden Core Realm is much earlier than Lan Chang'an.

"Haha, fellow Taoba Tuoba, don't be nervous. There is no grudge between you and me. It's just that Mr. Lu watched the battle between Daoist Tuoba and Pseudo-Core True Person in his early years at Yellow Dragon Immortal City as Rogue Cultivator."

Lan Chang'an smiles warmly and points out the reason.

"I can't afford the word "pay my respects", True Lord Lu is embarrassing me."

Tuoba Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly.

Lan Chang'an had no friendship with Tuoba Jin. After a few polite words, they flew to the hinterland of the Liang Kingdom.

"Fellow Taoba Tuoba..."

The other two Core Formation Cultivator, with strange expressions, looked at Mystic Water Big Turtle, a tall man in white who was walking away.

Tuoba Jin has complicated emotions. Rogue Cultivator, a little person who was not noticed by him in his early years, has surpassed himself, the former genius, in hundreds of years of practice.

Floating Cloud Sect, where Tuoba Jin is located, was the second sect force of the Liang Kingdom during the Lihuo Sect era. It was stronger than Golden Cloud Valley and once dominated the Liang Kingdom Northland.

However, due to the influence of the Feng Kingdom Golden Sun Sect moving north, Floating Cloud Sect's resource territory in the north has been subject to a certain amount of competition.

Later in Demonic Path War, Tuoba Jin was seriously injured in the battle in order to gain military exploits in exchange for Nascent Soul Formation supplies, resulting in damage to the road base.

In terms of fighting strength and military achievement ranking, he is far inferior to Liang Shaotian and Zhang Tianfeng of that era.

Not to mention Zhang Tianfeng who was once Liang Kingdom's first Golden Core Realm, there are Late Core Formation and Immortal Golden Core who are stronger than him in the Golden Sun Sect.

"I heard that this True Lord Lu, at that time Golden Core Realm was of average quality and his cultivation speed was relatively slow, but in the end he was able to succeed Nascent Soul Formation?"

The female cultivator Golden Core Realm beside her had her pretty eyes twinkling, guessing what was important fortuitous opportunity.

"Perhaps like True Lord Tianfeng, he has transformed his elixir and reunited. After all, in the tens of thousands of years of Cultivation World around, we have never heard of a successful example of Downstream True Core Nascent Soul Formation."

"True Lord Tianfeng once admitted to transforming elixirs. True Lord Lu has a close relationship with that True Lord Zhang. I think they probably have similar experiences."

The three Core Formation Cultivator were discussing True Lord Lu who had returned from Nascent Soul Formation. They couldn't hide their envy and felt a little sour in their hearts.

Without the Nascent Soul elders to protect the law, the process of converting the elixir would be risky. We have to ensure that Golden Core Realm can succeed next time, and resources will be spent repeatedly.

Lan Chang'an Nascent Soul Formation, there must be fortuitous opportunity that is unknown to everyone, such as [Yin-Yang Water] and other spiritual beings from heaven and earth.

However, those who can be promoted to Nascent Soul are almost all fortuitous opportunity who have extraordinary luck.

Reaching the top level of Cultivation World, some of their own secrets are no longer afraid of being known to others.

After crossing the Liang Kingdom border, Lan Chang'an no longer stopped along the way and no one stopped it.

Half a day later, Mystic Water Turtle followed the ripples of Water Evasion and approached Golden Cloud Valley.

"It is indeed the fourth level Spirit Vein. Old Zhang should have a special method for cultivating Spirit Vein. I'm afraid Dao Defense Alliance's support alone may not be enough."

Lan Chang'an remotely senses that in the mountain area where Golden Cloud Valley is located, Spirit Vein is full of energy. The sect's energy is as strong as Cloud Glow Sect.

Golden Cloud Valley's heritage and founding history are greater than those of the Profound Yin Sect. When Lan Chang'an left, he was already a large third-level top-level Spirit Vein.

Two hundred miles apart.

The fourth-level main peak of Golden Cloud Valley, a Nascent Soul-level Jin Rui Escape Light, is shining brightly, like a golden dragon soaring into the sky, with majestic momentum.

"Supreme Elder comes out of seclusion!"

But it was Zhang Tianfeng who sensed the arrival of Lan Chang'an and took the initiative to greet him.

Lan Chang'an stroked the turtle's back with his hand, Mystic Water Turtle's feet rippled rapidly in the black water, and his speed increased a bit.

Golden Cloud Valley Mountain Gate, high-rise True Person, many disciples, can't help but pay attention to Mystic Water Big Turtle approaching from a distance.

The dark green Mystic Turtle, which is seven feet wide, is like a floating hill, riding on the wind and waves, and surges with spiritual pressure like a stormy wave.

"Mystic Water Turtle's car in the late third level!"

"What a grand display! Who is this master?"

The man in white clothes on the turtle's back is handsome and handsome, as gentle as jade, with a few strands of silver in his tied up black hair.

Facing the Nascent Soul sect of the fourth level Spirit Vein, the man stood with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly, handsome and tall, with a noble demeanor that has gone through the vicissitudes of time.

"It's him! Oogway..."

"True Person Changqing disappeared for nearly a hundred years, why... came back again?"

Golden Cloud Sect, some senior Foundation Establishment, Core Formation Cultivator, immediately recognized the identity of the person.

These older monks had their eyes widened and expressions of astonishment. Some of them frowned or showed resentment.

These older monks have deep memories of True Person Changqing in his early years.

Whenever Liang Kingdom and the sect are in crisis, this person will disappear and run away for a while, euphemistically calling it "performing a special mission."

"Hmph! After disappearing for nearly a hundred years, True Person Changqing still has the nerve to come back."

"Let's see what else he has to say this time!"

"Now that Golden Cloud Valley is at its peak of glory, it is unprecedented. This person will definitely rely on his friendship with Supreme Elder to return to the sect."

Several Golden Core Realm veteran cultivators sneered, communicated with each other, and flew out of the mountain gate together.

"Master, why are you back again?"

A newcomer Foundation Establishment who didn't know what was going on was puzzled by the comments of his elders and humbly asked for advice.

It was a time of heated discussion among the sect.

Above the clouds, the mysterious water surges.

The legendary monk who received mixed reviews in the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World let Mystic Water Big Turtle stop over the mountain gate.

Supreme Elder Zhang Tianfeng, Tayun stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile:

"True Lord Lu has returned to the Liang Kingdom, which is gratifying. Zhang also just received information from the Dao Defense Alliance border..."

Compared with the Golden Core Realm, Zhang Tieshan's appearance has not changed much, his face is slightly darker, he is wearing a black robe and coat, his body is tall and straight, like a tall mountain, giving people a majestic and calm demeanor.

"Haha! Daoist Zhang's good management has promoted Golden Cloud Valley to the Nascent Soul force. As Golden Cloud Valley Guest Elder, Lu is honored!"

Lan Chang'an raised his hand and congratulated.

Brother Golden Cloud Valley, who paid attention to this scene, couldn't help but be surprised.

Supreme Elder True Lord Zhang, who had returned from Turtle True Person, had a great conversation.

When Turtle True Person was communicating with her, he shamelessly reached out and patted Supreme Elder on the shoulder. It was really contrary to Heavenly Gang.

Huh?

The few Core Formation Cultivator who came out felt the vague aura on Lan Chang'an, their expressions changed drastically, their minds were shaken, and they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Lan Chang'an came back by riding a turtle, and did not deliberately hide his cultivation, but he did not need to operate Law Power Flying Escape by himself, so he did not emit Nascent Soul spiritual pressure in a high-profile manner.

It is not difficult to identify the cultivation level of high-level monks who are slightly closer.

"Meet... Meet True Lord Lu."

Several aggrieved Golden Core Realm seniors showed stiff smiles, and suppressed all the questioning remarks they had been brewing from the high moral point.

"Everyone True Person, stay safe."

Lan Chang'an greeted these new and old faces calmly and familiarly.

He has been away for nearly a hundred years, and only part of the top Zhendan officials in the sect have been replaced.

The way those senior Golden Core Realms were holding back their anger but had no choice but to give in made Lan Chang'an feel happy and secretly funny.

These people don't know the value of Sect Lucky Star, and they have silently paid for Golden Cloud Valley.

Lan Chang'an is too lazy to argue with them.

"I dare to ask Elder Lu, where have you been in the past hundred years?"

The speaker was an old man with a black beard, Golden Core Realm mid-level cultivation, and couldn't help but ask.

This person's surname is Miao, and he is now Golden Cloud Valley's law enforcement elder. Lan Chang'an has some impressions of him.

If Lan Chang'an is not True Lord.

Elder Miao's original draft was to ask sarcastically, "May I ask Lu True Person, where has he carried out secret missions in the past hundred years?"

"It's a long story. Back then, True Lord was just an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator who was not good at fighting. However, True Lord Wanhe and Peacock Saintess of the Beast King Valley lineage were interested in Mystic Water Turtle and the secret of beast control, and even used a ghost to trap and kill Lu."

"At that time, Beast King Valley was gaining momentum. In order not to drag down or implicate Golden Cloud Valley, who was targeted in Demonic Path War and suffered greater pressure losses, Lu had no choice but to escape from the Dao Defense Alliance and find another way to practice fortuitous opportunity..."

"When Lu left, he informed Daoist Zhang in advance."

Lan Chang'an paused and glanced at Zhang Tianfeng.

"It is true that Daoist Lu stayed in the Dao Defense Alliance at that time. It was indeed very dangerous and detrimental to both him and Golden Cloud Valley."

Zhang Tianfeng nodded and acknowledged.

Lan Chang'an succeeded and Nascent Soul Formation came over, proving the correctness of his strategy, leaving people speechless.

Liang Kingdom In the past ten thousand years, True Lord, who was born in the local non-Nascent Soul forces, is also Zhang Tianfeng.

And this was during a special period of war.

This shows how difficult it is for ordinary monks to reach the top level of Cultivation World due to the solidification of resources and hierarchy.

"Later, Lu was lucky enough to succeed in Nascent Soul Formation. He was no longer afraid of the threats of True Lord Wanhe and Peacock Saintess. Naturally, it was time to return to the sect."

"This woman Zhu Yuting was once the traitor of Golden Cloud Valley. She was captured by this elder and handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal."

After Lan Chang'an said that, he raised his hand and handed over Zhu Yuting from the back of the turtle.

"It is indeed the traitor back then, Demonic Path's mole!"

Elder Miao stepped forward to confirm his identity and handed over his hand to Lan Chang'an to accuse him.

After hearing True Lord Lu's emotional explanation of the causes and consequences, the Golden Core Realm executives present looked relieved.

In his early years, True Person Changqing made very sensible choices, which not only saved himself, but also did not implicate the sect.

If we had stayed in the Liang Kingdom, competition for resources fortuitous opportunity would be fierce, and we would have to face external crises, and we would not be able to achieve what we have today.

Leave Zhu Yuting to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal. Lan Chang'an, accompanied by Zhang Tieshan, enters the Golden Cloud Valley mountain gate.

After becoming the Nascent Soul force, the overall mountain gate of Golden Cloud Valley expanded in a circle.

The back mountain area where Grand Elder was originally located has become the fourth-level Spirit Vein Dao Field.

Daoist Lu Great Sun Peak, who practiced back then, is still there today, but has become a cave for other elders.

"Why don't you see Tan'er?"

Lan Chang'an Divine Sense asked after scanning.

Zhao Tan'er was the only female disciple of Zhao Siyao during his lifetime. He was also Immortal Seedling, the bloodline of the Zhao Family. He was always treated like a daughter.

Zhang Tianfeng replied, "Elder Zhao is performing the guarding mission of the Dao Defense Alliance on the southeastern border of the Liang Kingdom."

Lan Chang'an nodded and calculated silently.

The southeastern border of the Liang Kingdom is in the direction of Moon-Gazing Immortal City and Heng Kingdom.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yechen and Fairy Shi established "Wuye Town" together as a gathering place for Rogue Cultivator and refugees, and it was also in that general area.

"In the fourth level Spirit Vein area, there is an idle hilltop. Daoist Lu Wait a few days and the sect will open up and transform the cave according to your wishes Dao Field."

"It doesn't matter."

Lan Chang'an followed Zhang Tianfeng to the latter's Tianfeng Mountain Dao Field, which was transformed from the hinterland of the back mountain where Golden Cloud Valley Grand Elder was.

Tianfeng Mountain Dao Field, the terrain is not high, mountains and lakes depend on each other, and the scenery is beautiful.

In the cave, there are only one or two old servants and no maids or concubines.

Zhang Tieshan practiced from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, but never married dao companion. He has been practicing alone, running around, looking for fortuitous opportunity.

The two True Lord sat down to have a cup of tea and reminisce about the past.

Zhang Tianfeng did not explore the specific whereabouts of Lan Chang'an in the past hundred years.

The topic mainly revolves around Demonic Path War and the current situation of the Dao Defense Alliance.

In addition to occupying most of the territory of the Dao Defense Alliance, Beast King Valley also occupied no less territory than Dao Defense Alliance in the rear. It is necessary to digest and rectify those affiliated forces.

Within Six Demonic Sects, during the invasion and occupation, there was a dispute over the division of Eastern Region's site resources.

The decades-long truce is due to various factors, including the local influence of True Lord Lingyu and True Lord Qingmu, the behind-the-scenes calculations of Ten Profound Sects, and the distribution of interests within Six Demonic Sects.

In summary, Six Demonic Sects invaded Eastern Region, the basic strategy was achieved, and it has taken root in this territory, making many forces affiliated.

Next, you have to slowly chew on some hard bones, such as Seven Nations Alliance.

As for the Dao Defense Alliance's Three Kingdoms, Beast King Valley just doesn't want to pay too much, otherwise it can be conquered by force.

"Decades ago, the situation in the Dao Defense Alliance was in danger. Beast King Valley proposed to make the remaining three countries vassals. They only need to surrender to Six Demonic Sects and pay a certain proportion of resources every year. From then on, the two sides became the same camp and invaded other territories together."

Lan Chang'an Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat.

If an agreement had been reached at that time, Liang Kingdom's hometown would now be affiliated with Demonic Path, and his situation would be in trouble.

Beast King Valley is currently not short of land. This proposal has a certain degree of sincerity and is also tempting to the Dao Defense Alliance.

"At that time, some high-level officials in the league were interested, but in the end they were sternly rejected by Alliance Leader Chu."

Zhang Tianfeng couldn't help but pause after talking about this.

Lan Chang'an was thoughtful, but Chu Tianfeng did not agree in the end, possibly because of the secret support of True Lord Lingyu and Ten Profound Sects behind him.

"Later, both sides took a step back."

"Dao Defense Alliance must agree to a trade agreement with Beast King Valley. Both parties will set up some neutral trade zones to allow monks from both parties to trade and do business. The agreement stipulates that Dao Defense Alliance's immortality cultivation materials can only be purchased with Beast King Valley trade, otherwise it is smuggling. However, Dao Defense Alliance was double-teamed by Beast King Valley, and apart from the Liang Kingdom who could barely communicate with the Fengyuan Kingdom, there was no other channel."

Hearing this, Lan Chang'an looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.

Beast King Valley Although the war ceased, it launched another invisible war without bloodshed.

In addition to depriving the Demonic Path camp of economic benefits by establishing an intermediate trading place, the Demonic Path camp's superiority, rich inheritance resources, and various soft powers will also attract Dao Defense Alliance monks.

After one or two hundred years of this, Beast King Valley will be able to subtly, slowly penetrate and assimilate the Three Kingdoms Cultivation World.

If we continue to corrode and bribe the higher-ups, we can even trigger a peaceful evolution in a shorter period of time, causing Dao Defense Alliance to collapse on its own.

Zhang Tianfeng is also silent.

The analysis of Artifact Spirit believes that Dao Defense Alliance will be merged into Demonic Path sooner or later. No matter whether it is obedient or confrontational, it cannot change the trend of the times.

"If we only deal with Beast King Valley, one of the Demonic Sect, there doesn't seem to be that big a difference in strength between the Dao Defense Alliance. If another Nascent Soul Middle Stage is born, can the situation be reversed?"

Lan Chang'an said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

He came back from Great Abyss, and had seen or heard a lot of forces at the level of Beast King Valley, so he was not that afraid.

Zhang Tianfeng couldn't help but glance at Lan Chang'an and said in deep thought:

"It's very difficult! Beast King Valley is sure to win and cherish the feathers. In order to avoid excessive losses, he has never used all his strength to fight. Moreover, Wujian Gate's infiltration and secret assistance are impossible to avoid."

"If you want to reverse the situation, you must kill Beast King Valley and Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

Kill Nascent Soul Middle Stage?

Lan Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head when he heard it. This is really difficult.

Competing Nascent Soul Middle Stage, defeating Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and killing Nascent Soul Middle Stage are three levels of difficulty.

Twin Dragons of the Central Region, the famous Great Abyss, failed to reach the third place that year. That belongs to the field of Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

"And it's best to kill Beast King Valley Grand Elder, one of the leaders of the Demonic Sect, otherwise the situation may not be reversed. But in the entire Great Qing, almost no one can do it."

Zhang Tianfeng shook his head and added.

"Demonic Sect Leader? Beast King Valley Grand Elder Divine Ability How?"

The impression of Lan Chang'an before leaving Great Qing is that Proud Moon Palace's predecessor, Nascent Soul True Lord, died at the hands of Beast King Valley Grand Elder.

"Decades ago, the famous "True Lord Qingmu"Eastern Region was ambushed by Beast King Valley Grand Elder and Wujian Gate Nascent Soul Middle Stage. He was seriously injured and almost died."

"Information obtained from Ten Profound Sects, Beast King Valley Grand Elder is almost immortal. This Demonic Sect leader possesses a magical fourth-level Heavenly Silkworm, although not good at head-on fighting, has the effect of prolonging life and maintaining youth. Every hundred years or so, the mysterious Heavenly Silkworm can give the host the ability of "Cocoon Rebirth"."

"Hundreds of years ago, Elder Beast King Valley was besieged and killed by many Ten Profound Sects Nascent Soul True Lord. He paid a heavy price, leaving his Law Power exhausted, seriously injured and on the verge of death. As a result, Beast King Valley Grand Elder"Cocoon Rebirth" on the spot, the injury healed instantly and returned to its peak Law Power state, directly killing those Mystic Sect who paid a heavy price True Lord collapsed on the spot..."

Zhang Tianfeng When I mention this, I feel a sense of powerlessness.

Lan Chang'an can imagine the desperate scene at that time. What a heavy price it would have to pay to kill one Nascent Soul Middle Stage. It can be said that we were running out of ammunition and food, and we were using all our means.

As a result, the target is directly full of health and mana, which is nothing!

"As expected of one of the leaders of the Demonic Sect."

In Lan Chang'an's impression, Beast King Valley Grand Elder can probably be ranked in the top three among Six Demonic Sects.

After learning more of the Demonic Sect's secrets, Lan Chang'an realized that it would be difficult to change the general trend of Eastern Region Demonic Path's invasion with just one or two Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Unless it is Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, who transcends the boundaries of a state and forces Six Demonic Sects to admit defeat and withdraw from Great Qing, the most prosperous Central Region.

Lan Chang'an returns to Great Qing. It can only be said that it is safe to protect itself. It may be able to affect some areas, but it cannot yet dominate the Eastern Region pattern.

The two True Lord chatted until late at night.

Lan Chang'an then took his leave and stayed temporarily in the sect guest room, waiting for the opening of the cave Dao Field.

"Tiezi, that boy has a lot of good things, and he seems to have the aura of a specialty from the sea. This Artifact Spirit confirms that he should have rare materials to repair Spirit Treasure."

A voice with a milky voice but a mature tone sounded in Zhang Tianfeng's mind.

"Specialties from the sea area? Has Daoist Lu ever been overseas or near the sea area?"

Zhang Tianfeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be surprised.

Great Qing is an inland area. Apart from a long tradition, it is difficult to find new sea specialties.

"Daoist Lu dares to reply to Great Qing, and his strength is probably no less than that of "True Lord Qingmu", and can compete with Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Zhang may not be able to come up with something that makes him excited."

Zhang Tianfeng smiled bitterly, spread his palms, and took out a black Broken Metal Staff.

At first glance, it looks like a fire stick.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, Zhang Tianfeng allowed the original Spirit Treasure Fragment to absorb a large amount of gold and iron essence. Under the induction of Artifact Spirit, it searched for and integrated two pieces of Spirit Treasure Fragment into Great Qing Eastern Region.

In addition, he used his superb weapon refining skills to integrate and refine many fourth-level and above treasure materials, and then he gave birth to a barely formed Incomplete Spirit Treasure.

Nowadays, the quality of Incomplete Spirit Treasure is slightly better than the general best Law Treasure, and it has some magic of Spirit Treasure; due to the dominance of Artifact Spirit, the consumption of Law Power is lower.

There is still a long way to go from True Spirit Treasure, but there are traces to follow.

Zhang Tianfeng is satisfied with this. After all, the several generations of owners this Artifact Spirit has experienced include at least Nascent Soul Great Cultivator and many Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarch.

"Tiezi Don't worry!"

Artifact Spirit said in a proud tone:

"That kid captured True Lord Black Feather's [Black Sky Wings]. He wants to transform it to suit himself and exert his true power. Generally, fourth-level weapon refiners can't do it. This Artifact Spirit But has a feasible plan. Moreover, True Lord Qingmu and Lan Chang'an are both Evergreen Art practitioners and are enemies of each other. There are many places where he needs to rely on you."
