The extreme west is Cangyuan Immortal City.

After more than a hundred years, Zhou Yang's mentality has been completely different from the time he came here many times before.

He didn't expect that just over a hundred years later, the Zhou family branch here had already become half of the owner.

Li Hong is a talented person, Zhou Yang had known this for a long time, but he found that he still underestimated this guy's tricks.

In just over a hundred years, this guy developed the Zhou family, the extreme west place that had just barely squeezed into the ranks of the big family at that time, and became the second largest family in Cangyuan Immortal City, second only to the family where the city lord was located.

This ability really shocked him.

And when he learned how the other party did this, he was even more amazed.

"The big banner of Tianding Sect has both advantages and disadvantages. With their support, you make the forces of Yu State afraid of you, but it also makes the Zhou family a common thorn in their side. In order to drive you out of Yu State, they will definitely spare no effort."

"They didn't take action now, just because they couldn't figure out what the Tianding Sect was. Once they figured it out and knew that Tianding Sect had no intention of interfering in controlling this place, once a hundred years passed, there would definitely be no place for you to stay in Cangyuan Immortal City!"

In a teahouse facing the street, Zhou Yang looked at the figure of a low-level monk walking through the street from time to time outside the window, gently picked up the unique spiritual tea on the table, taking a sip, and expressed his opinion on the situation facing the Zhou family in the west.

It turned out that the Zhou family in the extreme west could develop so quickly because Li Hong accidentally saved someone more than 60 years ago.

A foundation-building monk he saved at that time turned out to be the great-grandson of the Nascent Soul-stage monk of the Tianding Sect of the Great Yun Kingdom, and he was also a very favored great-grandson.

The monk sneaked out to travel to the world of immortal cultivation, and exposed his wealth near Cangyuan Immortal City. He was plotted by a group of cultivators and killed him. After exhausting his life-saving objects, he was lucky to be saved by Li Hong.

After the man was rescued by Li Hong, he was grateful for Li Hong's kindness and said that he would protect the Zhou family in Cangyuan Immortal City for a hundred years.

In recent years, the Zhou family in Cangyuan Immortal City has been able to develop rapidly because after returning to Tianding Gate, the man invited a Jindan stage monk to the Zhou family in Cangyuan Immortal City for twenty years.

Li Hong is also a good person. With the help of the Jindan stage monk, he pulled up the tiger skin and put on a big flag. Under the power of the fox, he really cut almost one-third of the cake from Cangyuan Immortal City and handed it to the Zhou family.

Today, the Zhou family in Cangyuan Immortal City has two Zifu-stage monks and twenty-five Foundation Establishment monks, and twenty-two Foundation Establishment monks under their control.

"The ancestors are as wise as a torch, and they can see the key at a glance. The younger generation has also discovered this. Over the years, they have used the help of that person to prepare a place to stay in Dayun. Even if they are driven out of Cangyuan Immortal City, they can continue to maintain the family inheritance with the resources and wealth we have accumulated over the years and the relationship with that person!"

Li Hong looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes flashed with admiration, and then he expressed his plans with a respectful look.

This is a typical thing that he can get a hand and leave. This is something that casual cultivators often do. It seems that although he has become accustomed to being a leader of a force, some habits he develops when he is a casual cultivator, he still has not abandoned them.

Zhou Yang thought about this and couldn't help but say, "You are just a solution. The Zhou family is not a small family now. If you move to the Dayun Kingdom rashly, you will inevitably be excluded by the original forces in the local immortal cultivation world. Even if you have the favor of the Tianding Sect, this exclusion will not be eliminated. Instead, it may make them more vigilant and united."

"Whose family forces that can be passed down in the Dayun Kingdom for thousands of years are not close to those sects of the Dayun Kingdom? Even if the person you rely on is of noble origin, his cultivation is still low. I am afraid that if something happens to you, he may not be able to help you again."

When Li Hong heard his words, his face suddenly became quiet.

Zhou Yang's words were considered to be on the point, which was exactly what he was worried about.

He looked at Zhou Yang with a serious expression, and suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "I would like to ask the best plan for the juniors of the ancestors and religion!"

He is a smart person and knows that since Zhou Yang said that his strategy is a poor strategy, he must have already had a superior strategy, otherwise at most he would just point out the flaws of his strategy.

"It's very simple. Ancestor, I pretend to come forward to warn the city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City now, so that they can't figure out how many forces are standing behind you. Then you can spit out a little something appropriately and you can protect you for another hundred years!"

Zhou Yang smiled indifferently and whispered his strategy.

"But you, ancestor..."

Li Hong looked at him hesitantly, not knowing whether he should express his worries.

"You want to say that I was wanted by [Backlight Alliance], right? Don't worry, since I said that, I am sure that I can't recognize my origin."

Zhou Yang glanced at him and gave him a reassurance with confidence.

When Li Hong heard this, his face suddenly relaxed and he responded with a happy face: "If my ancestors say this, I will feel relieved."

"But there is no hurry to do this. It's not too late to wait until I leave. Now let's talk about recognizing my ancestors."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, then changed his mind, but talked about his main purpose of coming to the West this time.

After returning to the boundless sand sea cultivation world from Liuyunzhou, he summoned the middle and senior management of Zhou Guangxiang and other tribes to explain what he was going to travel far and said his arrangements.

At the meeting, Zhou Guangxiang suggested that he come to the west again and settle the family branches here.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yang accepted Zhou Guangxiang's suggestion, and then he had his trip to the extreme west.

At this moment, he looked at Li Hong with deep eyes and said in a deep voice: "Old ancestor, I came here this time, in addition to giving you family branches, I am also preparing to bring some outstanding clan members from you to the Immortal World of the Border Sea to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and even to the Immortal World of Liuyunzhou to practice. What do you think about this?"

Recognizing one's ancestors is just a nice saying. In fact, taking people back from the family branches in the extreme west is to draw blood from the branches to strengthen themselves, and avoid the situation where the main branch is weak and the branch is strong.

This is also the purpose of Zhou Yang to split the Zhou family and establish various branches and small families.

Dividing the family can not only reduce the burden on the main family’s resource supply, but also stimulate the competitive spirit of the monks of each branch family and strengthen the family’s hematopoietic function.

As for the hidden dangers caused by the division of the family, if Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, is in charge, it is not worth mentioning compared to the benefits.

Even if Zhou Yang is gone in the future, as long as the main family is strong enough, each branch must maintain loyalty to the Zhou family even in order to continue to obtain advanced treasures such as foundation-building pills and [Purple Heart Cedony] from the main family.

Of course, the above are just Zhou Yang's own subjective imagination. What he wants to do now is to turn the original idea into reality.

And Li Hong, will he agree?

As Zhou Yang's gaze, Li Hong's expression changed slightly, then nodded with a smile and said, "I certainly agree with the proposal of my ancestors. It is the honor of us, the monks of the branch family, to be able to return to our family to recognize our ancestors!"

"I am very pleased that you can think like this, so I will decide this."

Zhou Yang also showed a happy smile on his face and decided on the spot.

So, in the next six months, Zhou Yang cooperated with Li Hong to create many incidents of missing Zhou's monks.

Because the Zhou family's current situation is already a bit subtle, the Zhou family's cultivator was attacked and disappeared. Although it attracted the attention of many forces in the Yu State, these forces were extremely tacitly aware of no one to investigate this matter.

What are they doing in investigating this?

If the Zhou family monks disappeared, it was done by one of them, hard work to investigate the truth will only embarrass the other party.

If these missing Zhou family monks were directed and acted by the Zhou family, it means that the Zhou family was already aware of the situation and was ready to withdraw from the Yu State. They just need to wait patiently for the Zhou family to withdraw and accept the territory left by the Zhou family.

However, when Zhou Wannian, another Zhufu cultivator in the Zhou family, had an accident, in addition to Li Hong, the forces in Cangyuan Immortal City immediately realized that the trouble was going to be big.

According to the news from the Zhou family, Zhou Wannian went out to investigate the missing monks of the Zhou family and died. The soul card he left in the family exploded on the spot, including the previously missing Zhou family foundation-building monk soul card, which also exploded together after Zhou Wannian's soul card exploded.

It can be seen from this that this is a conspiracy to deliberately target the Zhou family and weaken the Zhou family.

As the actual ruler of the Zhou family, Li Hong roared at the City Lord's Mansion and asked the city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City to find out the origin of the murderer and give the Zhou family an explanation while releasing the news that he would ask someone to preside over the Zhou family.

Then within half a month, the various forces had not yet come back to their senses from this change, and a piece of news shocked them again.

Zhao Jingming, the current city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City and the fifth-level cultivator of the Jindan level, was warned by a mysterious Jindan stage cultivator in the city lord's mansion. The meaning revealed in his words was that he actually came to vent his anger for the Zhou family.

With Zhao Jingming's cultivation level, he did not catch the other person, and he couldn't even figure out whether the other person was a man or a woman.

Thinking of the crazy words Li Hong made a few days ago, those forces who wanted to make the Zhou family could not help but remain silent.

They have not yet figured out how deep the relationship between the Zhou family and the Tianding Sect is. Now the Zhou family has invited another Jindan-stage cultivator who is proficient in concealing and stealth to make a comeback.

If they want to take action against the Zhou family, they really have to consider whether they can resist the assassination of the mysterious Jindan stage cultivator.

Therefore, after various confrontations of light and darkness, Li Hong finally reached a reconciliation with those forces on behalf of the Zhou family. The Zhou family gave up part of the territory and interests they had previously occupied, and each family was not allowed to extort any open exclusion of the Zhou family from then on.

At this time, the Zhou family was only Li Hong and a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators among the top leaders. Their strength was several times lower than before. For all forces, they were no longer threatening.

So after Li Hong learned that the Tianding Sect would not interfere in the Yu State, the forces pinched their noses and accepted the matter.

After Zhou Yang left Li Hong three parts of [Purple Heart Jade Chopin] and fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills, he brought the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had declared their "fall" and one Purple Mansion Cultivator to return to the boundless sand sea cultivation world.

Back at the Bordered Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, Zhou Yang personally presided over the ceremony of the monks of Zhou Wannian and other family branches. Then he prepared to take the Zhufu period monk Zhou Shimin and the Foundation Establishment Period monk Zhou Shimin and Zhou Shijie, three Zhou family monks in the extreme west, mixed with several other Zhou family monks in the Zhou family monks in the Bordered Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm to go to Liuyunzhou to practice the immortal world.

"Jinpeng, I will leave the Zhou family to take care of you. Remember my instructions and don't get close to Duanyun Mountain!"

At the top of Lingxi Peak, Zhou Yang gently stroked the head of the pet Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, and made his final advice with a serious expression.

The fifth-level low-level monster, Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, is the trump card he left to the Zhou family. With this clan-suppressing spirit bird, no one in the boundless sand sea cultivation world can shake the Zhou family's status.

"Don't worry, Master, Jin Peng will definitely keep your instructions in mind and take good care of the Zhou family for you, and will never let you down!"

Zhou Jinpeng narrowed his eyes and enjoyed his master's caress, and responded to his master's instructions with his mouth.

Being able to speak people's words is the key to Zhou Yang's reassurance that the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle is in charge of the Zhou family.

The wisdom of the fifth-level monster is no worse than that of humans. Zhou Jinpeng can communicate with others with others, and can easily communicate information with the people of the Zhou family. Once something happens, it can instead order the Zifu period monks of the Zhou family to cooperate with it to fight and provide it with assistance.

What Zhou Yang is most worried about is that the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle will be discovered by the demon kings in the Duanyun Mountains, which will definitely bring disaster to the Zhou family.

So he had to repeatedly remind Zhou Jinpeng to stay away from the Duanyun Mountains.

Fortunately, Zhou Jinpeng was raised by him since he was a child and signed with him [Demon Soul Contract]. He had no sense of identity with the demon clan in the Duanyun Mountains, otherwise he would not dare to leave it alone to take charge of the Zhou family.

After comforting and pampering, Zhou Yang took Zhou Wannian and seven Zhou family descendants to Liuyunzhou to the Immortal Cultivation World.

After returning to the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyunzhou, Zhou Yang placed the seven Zhou family junior monks he brought back to the Zhou family in the Daoxuan Kingdom, allowing them to follow the Zhou family there to familiarize themselves with the new environment. He returned to Chongxuan Mountain and prepared to go into seclusion to attack the late stage of the Jindan again.

Originally, his last failure to attack the Jindan later was because he wanted to slowly rise with decades of water grinding.

But the plan is always not as fast as the change. Now he will go to the Donghuazhou Immortal Cultivation Realm soon, and he will definitely encounter many dangerous battles by then. With his current cultivation level of the sixth level of the Golden Pill, he always feels that it is not safe enough.

If he can break through to the seventh level of the Golden Pill and enter the late stage of the Golden Pill, at least in the Golden Pill stage, he doesn't have to worry about anyone who can beat him.

Moreover, as long as he enters the late stage of the Golden Pill, he can barely activate the [Tian Tian Canglong Cauldron] to assist him in continuing to practice the fourth level of the "Canglong Body Refining Technique", and once again greatly improve his practical ability.

These benefits are visible, and for these things, Zhou Yang also wants to try it out again.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

After taking three spiritual pills with diligent cultivation at one time, with the help of the violent drug power brought by the spiritual pill, he finally forcibly broke through the barrier and entered the late stage of the Golden Pill.
