Chapter 587: Conquest

While Lin Jue continued to practice and comprehend the Dao, in Yishan, clouds and mist were like the sea, submerging most of the strange peaks and rocks, with only the Lotus and Tiandou peaks able to protrude their waists from the clouds and mist.

Several divine officials rode clouds and arrived, looking down and shouting:

"Yishan Dashan Lord!"

The clouds and mist below rolled for a while, but the largest Lianhuafeng remained motionless.

"Yishan Dashan Lord!"

"Is the Yishan Dashan Lord here?"

"I am an envoy from the heavens, do you dare not respond?"

After a long while, three figures ascended to the top of Lianhuafeng.

Looking closely, the one in front was a plain-looking Daoist, followed by two demons, a macaque and a clouded leopard. The macaque held a lantern in its hand, and the clouded leopard also held a lantern in its mouth.

"What business do the divine officials have here?"

The Daoist below was very surprised and asked respectfully.

"Who are you?"

"Replying to the divine officials, this poor Daoist is the master of a Daoist temple in the mountains, currently meditating and practicing on Lianhuafeng. Hearing the call of the divine officials and receiving help from the Dashan Yili Shenjun's messengers, I came up to take a look."

"Which Daoist temple?"

"Fuqiu Temple on Fuqiu Peak."

"Hmph! I could have guessed!" the leading divine official said. "I did not summon you, so why did you come?"

"The Dashan Yili Shenjun is not at home, and no one responded when the divine officials called. This poor Daoist was afraid that the divine officials would waste their breath, so I climbed up here," Ji Yang wiped his sweat. "I wonder what business the divine officials have with the Dashan Yili Shenjun?"

"He is not in this mountain?"

"He is not in this mountain."

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

"What a Daoist!" The divine official in the sky was furious. "Considering you are human, this official has been somewhat polite to you, yet you dare to fool this official!"

"He is really not at home!" Ji Yang wiped his sweat and said, raising his right hand again. "This poor Daoist can swear in the name of the Heavenly Emperor!"

"You still dare to blaspheme the Heavenly Emperor!"

"I would never dare..."

As the master of the Fuqiu Temple of this generation, under the strict selection of his master's "method of knowing people and fate," his talent was far superior to the junior brothers of the mountain.

Although he did not have the unsparing cultivation of that junior uncle whose ability was close to a Great Power, he had practiced to this point, and was only one step away from achieving truth and Dao. Even without a Golden Core, he could step over it at any time. Logically speaking, he was a rare expert in the human world, first-class below an immortal or Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, and his status was not lower than these divine officials in front of him, yet he was very respectful when facing them.

For no other reason—

It was all because of that sentence from the sixth junior uncle: The junior uncle is comprehending the Dao; the later the time, the higher his chance of winning.

Therefore, he was here to delay time.

"What business do the divine officials have here? Why not wait for the Yishan Dashan Yili Shenjun to return, and this poor Daoist will convey it immediately, how about that?"

"You convey it?"

"There is no other way," the Daoist spread his hands, looking left and right. "The divine officials can see that although the two Dashan Yili Shenjun messengers beside me are intelligent and understand human nature, they are not good at speaking. If it were not for this, they would not have been in such a hurry to call this poor Daoist, who was meditating and practicing, to help."

The several divine officials looked at each other and smiled.

They could probably tell that this Daoist was fooling them.

However, firstly, with their abilities, they dared not invade at all. Not to mention the Yishan Dashan Yili Shenjun himself, there were several immortals in this mountain, and many ancient demons in the mountain could kill them. They were civil officials, possessing divine power and magical power, but were not good at fighting.

Secondly, with an existence as extraordinary as the Yishan Dashan Yili Shenjun, and this being the territory of the Southern Eastern Qing Hua Emperor, the Nine Heavens could not send a large army over for some minor matters.

The Daoist below wanted to delay time, and they were also going through the procedures, step by step—

First, send divine officials to invite the Dashan Yili Shenjun to the Nine Heavens. If he went, he would surely never return. If he did not go, then send martial gods to capture him. If he dared to resist, the next step would be the arrival of True Lords, spirit officials, and celestial soldiers and generals.

"The Dashan Lord of this place has occupied Yishan for a long time. During this period, as a Dashan Yili Shenjun, he enjoyed offerings but did not manage this immortal mountain well. Instead, people often entered Yishan and died in the mountains, and there were evil demons and ghosts in the mountains that went out to cause chaos. These matters have already been told to the Dashan Lord some time ago. Please have the Dashan Lord of this place go to the Nine Heavens to accept an investigation!"

"In addition, there is one more thing. There is a nest of cat demons in this mountain who were once Earth Gods. We came last time to invite them to the Nine Heavens to cooperate with the inquiry, but they disappeared without a trace. Could it be that the Dashan Lord of this place was afraid that they would provide testimony unfavorable to him and captured and imprisoned them?"

"The divine officials must have made a mistake," Ji Yang said immediately. "The Dashan Yili Shenjun of this place is benevolent and generous, and kind-hearted. These matters must have nothing to do with him!"

Pausing as he spoke:

"As for what the divine officials said about the Fourth Aunt and the Daoist friend of Scissors Peak, this poor Daoist knows. Hehe, I assume the divine officials also know that our Fuqiu Peak and Scissors Peak are neighbors, and the Fourth Aunt's family and the Daoists of our Fuqiu Temple are also family friends. It is just that a few days ago, hearing that the Heavenly Emperor was wantonly eliminating demons everywhere in the human world, and was somewhat, somewhat indiscriminate, the Fourth Aunt was afraid, so she hid away."

"She has quite a bit of nerve!"

The divine official above laughed:

"Anyway, we have come, and the words have been spoken. We will come again tomorrow. If the Yishan Dashan Lord is still not here, it will be regarded as resisting the decree. Next time, we will go into this mountain to find him."

"When the Dashan Yili Shenjun returns, this poor Daoist will definitely inform him."

The divine officials rode clouds and left, and the Daoist below also wiped his sweat and walked back.

The two Dashan Yili Shenjun messengers followed him silently. With a lift of the lantern, under the light, a set of steps actually appeared on the steep and dangerous Lianhuafeng, leading to the foot of the mountain.

As the divine officials said, they came again the next day.

Ji Yang still went to deal with them, only saying that the Dashan Yili Shenjun was still not there, and begged them to grant a few more days.

The divine officials left with a smile.

Three days later, they came again, bringing more than a dozen spirit officials and divine generals, all wearing armor and helmets, looking extraordinary and imposing, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Is the Yishan Dashan Lord still not back?"

"The Dashan Lord has already returned! This poor Daoist will go and report to him immediately!"

"This official will wait here!"

"..."

"Divine official! The Dashan Yili Shenjun is sleeping!" Ji Yang said. "Why don't the divine officials wait another day? The Dashan Yili Shenjun has always been kind-hearted. After waking up, he will definitely follow the divine officials to the heavens!"

"If it were up to this official, waiting another day would be fine, hehe, but unfortunately, the several martial gods are impatient and do not want to wait."

Ji Yang then looked at the several martial gods.

But before he could speak, the several spirit officials and divine generals all widened their eyes, looking fierce:

"Knowing that the Nine Heavens has summoned him, yet repeatedly avoiding it, does he not put the Nine Heavens divine beings in his eyes?"

"Not at all! The several martial gods must not be impulsive!"

"Move aside! Whether he is at home or sleeping, we will know once we go down and take a look!"

"This is the Dashan Yili Shenjun's dojo! It is not good to trespass!"

"What Dashan Yili Shenjun's dojo? This is the human world, the human world under the Nine Heavens. Since the Dashan Lord of this mountain has not been recognized by the Purple Emperor, he is not counted as a Dashan Yili Shenjun! Ordinary people can come, so why can't we divine beings?"

The group of spirit officials and divine generals were truly brave. Even though they knew this was Yishan and they could never be a match for a Dashan Yili Shenjun, they were not afraid at all. They rode white clouds and flew down, diving headfirst into the rolling clouds and mist in the mountain below.

The divine officials followed them.

"Eh, eh, eh..."

The Daoist on the mountain top waved his hands repeatedly to stop them. Seeing he couldn't stop them, he looked regretful: "It is a good thing that the several divine beings from the north are brave and fearless, but they are too reckless. The clouds and mist in this mountain are obscuring, alas, how can those who are not familiar with the road distinguish the direction..."

The divine beings really got lost in the clouds and mist.

They were clearly flying down along Lianhuafeng, but once they were in the clouds and mist, they were confused by the fog and could no longer find Lianhuafeng.

Not only that, but they couldn't fly out even if they wanted to.

"Why didn't you listen?"

Ji Yang clapped his hands and sighed, returning to report.

This could delay them for a while, but not for too long.

A few days later, the Nine Heavens discovered that the divine official envoys had not returned. A divine being who looked like a pregnant woman appeared in the sky, opened her mouth and blew, blowing out a hurricane that dispersed the fog and miasma in the mountain. Only then did the divine officials and martial gods come out.

After another period of time, there was suddenly thunder in the sky. Listening carefully, one realized it was war drums like thunder.

A deer in the mountain was leisurely eating grass when it was suddenly startled and shook its whole body, then

looked up.

There were also Daoists practicing in the mountain temples and monks chanting Buddha in the mountain temples. Hearing the thunder, they all ran out of the doors in a hurry to check.

They saw that the firmament was already covered with white clouds at some point. On top of each white cloud stood densely packed celestial soldiers and generals. There were True Lords standing in front stepping on golden wheels, immortals standing on the clouds looking down, dragons pulling war chariots made of gold, armored giants carrying huge stones burning with raging flames, and warships and pavilions floating in the air, with flags fluttering.

Yili Shenjun Long She lifted his chin, and a divine official rode a cloud forward and shouted to the bottom:

"Bold Yishan Dashan Lord!"

"You have occupied Yishan in the human world, calling yourself a god, not protecting the peace in the mountains, and not respecting the Nine Heavens Orthodox Gods. The Heavenly Emperor has repeatedly issued decrees to summon you to the heavens, yet you dare to resist the decree. Today, I am sending troops to capture you! Why don't you surrender immediately!"

The voice was like thunder, echoing endlessly in the mountains.

Flying birds were startled, mountain stones fell from cliffs, and even the clouds and mist in the mountains seemed to be pushed by his voice, changing.

A moment later, a voice came from the mountain:

"I am a spirit of the mountains, naturally conceived from the essence of this heaven and earth and the spiritual charm of the mountains. I am naturally the god of this mountain. Where does the talk of occupying Yishan and calling myself a god come from?"

"This is the human world. The human world is the human world under the Nine Heavens. Without the Nine Heavens' decree, you are an evil god!"

"Below the mountain is the human world; above the mountain is the Nine Heavens."

"You actually consider yourself a world! You truly have the intention of rebellion!" Yili Shenjun Long She pressed the precious sword at his waist. "Today the great army has arrived. If you do not surrender and follow me back to the Nine Heavens to confess your crimes, I will eliminate you, return this human mountain realm to the human world, and establish a human god to manage this mountain well!"

"I am the spirit of Yishan. This is Yishan. In this mountain, relying on you, you are still far behind."

"Beat the drums!"

There was another burst of thunder drums in the sky.

The peace of the great mountain was immediately broken.

I do not know how many Daoist temples, monasteries, and hermit huts were in the mountains. At this time, people kept running out, panicked, not knowing why.

There were also people who had picked up swords, wanting to protect the Dashan Yili Shenjun of this place.

Just as the Dashan Yili Shenjun had protected them for many years.

Almost at the same time, in Mount Feng, there were also True Lords visiting.

They came to find him for Fuyao.
