Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 456: Grand Master: It’s my turn to show off my skills

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather is clear and suitable for worshiping ancestors and praying for blessings.

There is a custom of offering sacrifices at the end of the year in southern Xinjiang. Because the sacrificial ceremony is held in the twelfth lunar month, it is called the La Festival.

La means hunting, which refers to hunting animals in the fields to sacrifice to the ancestors.

Ordinary people would hold year-end sacrifices, offer sacrifices to all gods during the La Festival, and hunt birds to offer to their ancestors, hoping to receive their ancestors' favor and praying for good weather and good harvests in the coming year.

From the moment a cultivator starts practicing, there are no taboos for him. However, big families like the royal family still maintain the tradition of La Festival. Over time, it has become the cultural heritage of the royal family and is of extraordinary significance.

However, compared to ordinary people, the royal family does not hold the La Festival every year, but once every ten years.

During every La Festival, princes and nobles would bathe and fast three days in advance, and ordinary people would also place sacrificial offerings in front of their doors to show their solemnity.

The streets of the capital of Southern Xinjiang were cleared three days ago. Anyone entering the city was checked one by one, and all shops and taverns were closed to ensure the smooth progress of the sacrifice.

On the day of the sacrifice, the princes and nobles of southern Xinjiang would climb Tianlin Mountain, where the ancestral temple was located, to complete the sacrificial ceremony.

Tianlin Mountain is located in the south of the royal capital. The mountain range is winding and twisting like a giant dragon lying down. The main peak is towering into the clouds, rising into the sky with the momentum of swallowing clouds and spewing mist.

It is said that when the dragon vein of Southern Xinjiang was first born, it was in Tianlin Mountain, so the royal family of Southern Xinjiang set up their ancestral temple here in the hope of prosperity for the country.

The ancestral temple and the dragon vein are located on the same mountain, which makes the people in southern Xinjiang respect Tianlin Mountain even more, and passers-by all kneel down to worship.

It's a pity that the Gu God later caused chaos, the dragon vein in southern Xinjiang mysteriously disappeared, and Tianlin Mountain gradually lost its mystery. However, the royal family firmly believed that the dragon vein would return, and always regarded Tianlin Mountain as an important place for sacrifice.

Lu Zhan stood above the thick clouds, overlooking the mountains below.

Under the sunshine, the clouds and mist on Tianlin Mountain have dissipated, and the mountain is majestic and towering, which really has a sacred atmosphere.

The royal family of Southern Xinjiang still had some foresight. The dragon vein disappeared mysteriously only because it was sealed in a secret realm by the dragon clan. However, it is not far from Tianlin Mountain. If the secret realm is destroyed by time in the future, the dragon vein will naturally return to Tianlin Mountain and protect the national destiny of Southern Xinjiang.

It’s a pity that the dragon soul in the dragon vein has disappeared, and the dragon energy in the dragon vein is also slowly dissipating.

Even if I return to Tianlin Mountain in the future, I am afraid I will not be able to protect the destiny of the southern border.

Lu Zhan put his hands behind his back and looked at the ancestral temple on the mountainside, feeling a little emotional. The dragon veins of Southern Xinjiang have dissipated, and the Grand Master has come to Southern Xinjiang to preside over the situation. This may be the fate of Southern Xinjiang.

Tushan Shiyu, who was not far away, observed the terrain of Tianlin Mountain and reminded:

"Almost done. This is indeed the gap left by King Yong. We should go back."

The royal family was not allowed to bring soldiers or weapons into the ancestral temple during sacrifices, so the defenses around Tianlin Mountain were very meticulous. The reason why Lu Zhan and Tushan Shiyu were able to come in was naturally because King Yong deliberately let them in.

Tushan Shiyu was not very interested in Kongqueshan's dealing with the royal family, but she had recently sent Hu Jiu to seduce the daughter of King Yong and extract some important information.

First: There seems to be information about the dragon vein hidden in the sacred stone of the Erron Auction House.

Secondly, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang also investigated the affairs of Qianjue Valley three years ago.

The Holy Stone is now in Lu Zhan's hands. Tushan Shiyu does not want to conflict with Lu Zhan because of the dragon vein, but he already has some guesses in his heart.

She thought about how Lu Zhan suddenly rushed out from underground that day and saw her taking a bath. She always felt that it was too much of a coincidence... Now it seems that this matter has a more reasonable explanation.

However, compared to the dragon vein, the most important thing is the Thousand Absolute Valley.

Tushan Shiyu decided to take advantage of the chaos today and let her men search the Saint's Palace and the Southern Xinjiang Palace, while she would take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the Southern Xinjiang Saint and torture her.

Although the Peacock King was investigating the Thousand Absolute Valley, he had limited resources and did not have the key needed to enter the Thousand Absolute Valley.

But the royal family of Southern Xinjiang may not...

Since the Saint of Southern Border has also investigated the Thousand Absolute Valley, perhaps she has the so-called key.

Thinking of this, Tushan Shiyu said:

"Don't look at it anymore. You'll see something when you sneak into Tianlin Mountain later."

Hearing this, Lu Zhan grabbed Tushan Shiyu's hand, looked intimate, and said softly, "Let's go."

Tushan Shiyu tried to shake him off twice but failed, so he resigned himself to being led by Lu Zhan.

After the two turned into streams of light and fled two hundred miles away, they met the Peacock King in a hidden valley.

The Peacock King was wearing armor, holding a sword, and holding a defense map in his hand. When he saw Lu Zhan coming back, he said:

"This is the defense map of Tianlin Mountain given by King Yong. We just need to bypass these main forces and take the people from Peacock Mountain to sneak in from the north as a breakthrough point, and then we can successfully sneak into Tianlin Mountain."

Lu Zhan took the defense map and studied it carefully, saying:

"I just came back from the north. That line of defense is indeed very weak, and they are all King Yong's confidants, so there is no problem."

The Peacock King cheered up, holding his sword, with a ferocious look on his face:

"Today, the Southern Xinjiang royal family will pay for their blood debt with blood!"

After saying that, the Peacock King gathered a thousand disciples and personally led the team towards Tianlin Mountain. These disciples were dressed in the uniforms of southern Xinjiang soldiers, and as long as they could successfully blend into Tianlin Mountain, they would be safe.

Lu Zhan followed behind and took the opportunity to imprint the defense map and spread it out.

Half an hour later, the Peacock King led his team to the northern defense line of Tianlin Mountain. As they approached, two white-bearded old men appeared in the clouds.

The moment the old man saw the Peacock King, he smiled and said:

"Welcome to the Immortals. We are the two Immortals Shou and Qi from Prince Yong's Mansion. We are here to await the arrival of the Peacock Immortals on the orders of the Prince. Please follow my senior brother, Immortal Shou, and he will arrange a place for you."

Although this sacrifice was organized by King Yong, he needed to cooperate with other officials and could not replace all the guards with his own people, so he could only come up with this method.

King Yong stationed all his trusted men on the northern defense line of Tianlin Mountain to recruit helpers from Peacock Mountain.

The Peacock King snorted coldly, glanced at the white-bearded old man out of the corner of his eye, and responded with disdain.

Shouxianzhe knew that the people of Peacock Mountain were arrogant, so he didn't dare to say a word. He hurriedly led the way in front, for fear of attracting other people's attention.

The Qixian people continued to stay where they were to avoid any accidents.

……

"Lu Zhan has sent us the defense map of Tianlin Mountain. We just need to follow the layout of the map and enter from the northern defense line."

In a valley five hundred miles away from Tianlin Mountain, the Grand Lord stood on the top of the mountain, her gorgeous purple skirt fluttering in the wind, and the soft dress outlined her voluptuous figure. She had her left hand behind her slender waist, and her right hand held the defense map in front of her magnificent chest, with a graceful demeanor and a noble and domineering air.

The Thief Saint stood nearby, took the defense map and looked at it, then said:

"The royal family of Southern Xinjiang is really cautious. They are afraid that the defense map will be stolen, so they didn't confirm the real deployment until today. Fortunately, we have Lu Zhan as an insider, but how can we sneak in..."

The thief saint was eager to try, she had been in the world for many years and loved to see big scenes.

When she saw her best friend leading the team in person, the Thief Saint knew that there would be a big event to watch, but she felt a little troubled when she looked at the three thousand people behind her.

Each of these soldiers is a talented person. As long as they enter the battlefield at the right time, they will be able to control the situation.

But the question is...how can they sneak into Tianlin Mountain?

There was indeed a gap in the northern defense line, but that gap was left for the Peacock Mountain demons, not for them.

The Grand Master had already made up his mind. He looked towards the direction of Tianlin Mountain and said slowly:

"Zhuang, you are good in every way except that you don't use your brain. How hard is it for us to sneak in?"

"?"

The thief felt humiliated by her IQ and looked at her best friend with a bad face. People say that women with big breasts are brainless, but Wei Jinyao has big breasts and quite a bit of brains too. It's really unfair.

The chief master took a look at the gorgeous dress, thought for a moment, took out a modified version of the disguise pill, and used his internal energy to disguise himself.

The stunning and noble face disappeared, replaced by a demonic and evil look, with evil aura all over her body, like a demon queen who had killed countless people.

The Grand Master blinked his charming peach blossom eyes and said:

"We are now the demons of Peacock Mountain. When we get close to Tianlin Mountain, we will have the soldiers crush the demon energy bottle. We will naturally be full of demon energy. I have waited for Lu Guanqi for so long, and it is finally my turn to show my skills."

"..."

The Thief Saint originally wanted to change his appearance, but then he thought that this was not his true appearance, so he turned around and raised his arms and shouted. After conveying the order, he led three thousand men and horses towards Tianlin Mountain.

Tianlin Mountain is heavily guarded, except for a gap in the northern defense line.

The Grand Master followed the route on the defense map and soon arrived above the northern part of Tianlin Mountain. As soon as he approached this place, the Qixian who had just received the Peacock King appeared from the clouds and said in a cold voice:

"Tianlin Mountain is a strategic location, retreat quickly!"

boom--

Qi Xianzhe was responded with a whip kick, which directly sent Qi Xianzhe flying hundreds of meters away, and his long white beard was kicked into stubble.

The chief minister turned around and retracted his legs, with his hands behind his back, looking quite domineering, and said unhappily:

"What kind of bastard dares to block our way to Peacock Mountain? Let your Yong Wang come out and talk!"

"?!"

Qi Xianzhe covered his chest and vomited blood, staring at the seductive and evil witch, and it took him a long time to react.

No wonder she is so arrogant, it turns out she is the enchantress from Peacock Mountain!

But even if she is the enchantress of Peacock Mountain, she can't be so arrogant and rude, right?

He just tried to stop him, but ended up having six ribs broken.

When the Peacock King passed by here just now, I didn’t hit him!

Are the qualities of the demons in your Peacock Mountain so different?

Qi Xianzhe stood up tremblingly, glanced behind the Grand Master, his eyes twitching with shock.

I saw thousands of soldiers following behind, full of evil spirit and extremely ferocious.

Qi Xianzhe felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have taken Peacock King to deploy defenses, leaving Shou Xianzhe behind to be beaten...

Qi Xianzhe asked weakly:

"Why are you here, Fairy? The Peacock King has just gone in. What are you doing, Fairy..."

The chief minister glanced at him and said coldly:

"I am here to support you under the order of Peacock King. Do I need to explain to you? Or are all you people from Yong Wang Mansion stubborn? You even dare to interfere in the affairs of Peacock Mountain? This fairy princess won't talk to you. You call Yong Wang over!"

"..."

Qi Xianzhe was scolded so much that he dared not say a word, so how could he dare to call Yong Wang? His and Shou Xianzhe's only mission was to lead the demons from Peacock Mountain into the mountain, but they did not expect Peacock Mountain to split into two groups.

If King Yong still has to trouble himself with such matters, there is no need for him to exist.

The only thing that needs to be confirmed is the true identity of the team in front of us.

Qi Xianzhe quietly looked up and saw the shining token hanging on the waist of the Grand Master. It was clearly the brand name of Peacock Mountain and could not be faked.

Coupled with the demonic aura and arrogant attitude, he must be the demon from Peacock Mountain.

If it weren't for the demons from Peacock Mountain, who would dare to come and cause trouble for the royal family at this time? Are you tired of living?

Qi Xianzhe hurriedly said, "Please calm down, Fairy. I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. The Peacock King has already headed for the northern defense line. Please go there, Fairy."

"You boy, you'd better keep one eye open and keep watch when you sleep. This fairy may come to talk to you someday." The chief commander snorted coldly, and then led the team into Tianlin Mountain.

"!"

Qi Xianzhe was startled, and his heart beat faster when he thought about the threatening words just spoken by the Grand Master.

No...are the demons from Peacock Mountain really that arrogant?
