When it comes to deeds, there is no heart, and there is no perfect person when it comes to heart.
Whether Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, will become an unscrupulous person like Cao Wenjin and the ancestor of the Chen family, we cannot make a conclusion before the incident happens.
As a younger generation, Zhou Yang did not want to speculate on his elders with malicious intent.
But after thinking about this, he found that he suddenly didn't hate Cao Wenjin and the ancestor of the Chen family so much.
In a sense, these two senior monks, who are highly skilled in cultivation, are also pitiful people.
If they were not forced by the bad environment, these two people would definitely still be willing to become senior masters that everyone respects and admires, rather than tyrants and villains that everyone despises.
Of course, if he doesn't hate them, it's simply impossible to say that he agrees with, sympathizes with, and forgives their actions.
Even if he had the chance, he would never be so ruthless as to trick these two people and make them pay the price for what they had done!
You can harm me, but I also reserve the right to fight back against you. This is the truest thought in Zhou Yang's heart.
The ten days of waiting time passed quickly. Ten days after Cao Wenjin deployed his troops, he finally appeared in the sight of Zhou Yang and others again.
Cao Wenjin appeared alone outside the General Affairs Hall, glanced at everyone outside the hall, and then his eyes fell on the ancestor of the Chen family. He said with a faint smile: "I have kept you waiting for a long time. Now please join me and squeeze Taoist Chen's empty line."
Lou Chuan, I think Daoyou Chen wouldn’t mind if I took a ride on it, would you?”
It's a lie to take advantage of the wind, but don't worry, the people here are real.
Zhou Yang and others knew this as well as Ming Jing, so no one said anything, but all looked at the ancestor of the Chen family.
The ancestor of the Chen family was watched by Cao Wenjin, Zhou Yang and others, but he didn't feel any nervousness in his heart.
After ten days of waiting, he had already thought clearly. Even if he died during this trip, the Chen family, with Chen Ping'an in charge, would still be the Zifu family, and the family inheritance would not be cut off.
So at this time, he looked calmly and bowed his hands to Cao Wenjin and said: "It is an honor for me to be able to ride on the same boat as Senior Cao. How can I not be reluctant?"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and released his empty ship, then made an invitation gesture to Cao Wenjin and said: "Senior, please come on board."
Cao Wenjin was not polite, and immediately entered the building boat with a movement of his body.
Then, Zhou Yang and others followed suit on the building boat with silent faces, and found seats inside to sit down.
After everyone got on the boat, the ancestor of the Chen family, under Cao Wenjin's instructions, directly drove the building boat to fly out of the mountain gate of Huangshamen.
At the same time, another Kongxinglou ship was also controlled by Li Zhengnan, a ninth-level monk from the Huangshamen Purple Mansion. It carried more than a hundred monks from the Huangshamen and flew out of the Huangshamen closely behind Zhou Yang and the others.
.
In this expedition to Rhinoceros Island, in addition to Zhang Yunpeng and Jiang Yuyan who stayed at the gate of Huangshamen, the other four Zifu monks Li Zhengnan, Guo Shuyun, Luo Yunqing, and Xu Kaishan all participated. In addition, there were hundreds of monks in the foundation building period, almost
Occupying 70% of Huangshamen’s current foundation-building monks!
These four Zifu monks, plus the five vassal Zifu monks including the ancestors of the Chen family, are nine Zifu monks, including even the two ninth-level monks of the Zifu, Li Zhengnan and the Chen family ancestors.
In addition to the seven fourth-level puppet beasts and those "beast soul talismans" prepared by Huangshamen for this battle, the fourth-level combat power dispatched by Huangshamen alone in this battle will not be less than two in total.
Tens.
Such a force is not too small even if it is placed in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent.
"Boy from the Zhou family, you shouldn't have come. I didn't mention your name in the recruitment order. I gave you a chance because of our past friendship. Why are you still involved in this matter?"
On the Dakong Tower boat, Zhou Yang was closing his eyes to rest, when Cao Wenjin's cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
This was the first time he received a separate message from Cao Wenjin since he was called to Huangshamen.
"If I say that I came here because I believed in Senior Cao, I definitely don't believe it. So I can only say that all this is God's will. I am born to work hard in this life!"
Zhou Yang responded to Cao Wenjin's question with a self-deprecating tone, but he was actually extremely depressed.
He had to admit that he dared to come here this time because he had an unusual relationship with Cao Wenjin and felt that Cao Wenjin would not cheat him.
The result was obviously that he lost, miserably!
Being lucky can kill people!
Zhou Yang could only sigh like this at this time.
But if he had any regrets in his heart, he definitely didn't.
If he didn't jump into this fire pit, the ones who would come in might be his father Zhou Xuanhao and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
In contrast, he would rather come in by himself.
However, after Cao Wenjin heard his answer, he said in a solemn tone:
"I have reviewed your boy's resume in detail. You have encountered near-death dangers several times, but in the end you were able to survive safely and reap great benefits. This is because you are born with great luck to protect you!"
"If you really survive this time, I will give you and your Zhou family a big gift later!"
Judging from his tone, it seemed that he thought Zhou Yang had a high chance of surviving.
Zhou Yang was confused by his words.
From Cao Wenjin's words, it is easy to tell that he has no ill intentions towards himself and the Zhou family, and is even very willing to be kind to himself and the Zhou family, or to sell himself well.
But if that's the case, why didn't he exclude himself and the Zhou family from the expedition team, and why did he also include Zhou Yuanchen, who was in the Huangshamen of the Zhou family, into the expedition team?
"Don't think too much, living people have the value of investment and friendship, while dead people can only be buried in the soil and wait for reincarnation!"
As if he knew what he was thinking, Cao Wenjin said the reason in a cold voice without any concealment.
This reason immediately left Zhou Yang speechless.
Obviously, he has become a "test subject" during this expedition.
Cao Wenjin wanted to use this "experiment" to confirm whether he was worth investing in and befriending him.
Frankly speaking, Zhou Yang didn't have much objection to Cao Wenjin treating him as a "test subject" because he himself agreed with what Cao Wenjin just said.
The most obvious example is that he also "tested" Huang Yi in this way.
It's like making friends. Sometimes it's very simple to determine whether a friend is worth making friends with. That is, when you lend money to him, will he repay the loan and repay the money on time?
The kind of person who borrows money without repaying it, obviously no one wants to make a true friendship with such a person.
And sometimes you can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to test out a person's nature, which is not too bad.
Cao Wenjin now wants to use this expedition to "test" whether Zhou Yang really has the luck to protect himself, and whether it is really worth investing in his friendship.
After thinking about this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied: "Senior is really calm, junior has learned a lesson!"
"Just be more careful. I'll stop here. Everything depends on your own performance!"
Cao Wenjin finally said a few words coldly, and then directly cut off the sound transmission.
No one knew about the sound transmission conversation between the two, because at this time, many people in the Dakong Building ship were talking to someone through sound transmission with their mouths moving slightly.
When Zhou Yang did this, others just thought he was talking to a familiar monk. Who would have known that the person he was talking to would be Cao Wenjin, a golden elixir-level monk!
And after talking with Cao Wenjin, a monk in the Golden Core stage, Zhou Yang became vaguely looking forward to the upcoming expedition.
Cao Wenjin, as a golden elixir monk, was at a special juncture when his lifespan was exhausted and he was about to die. At this time, he said he wanted to give himself and the Zhou family a big gift. How big would it be? What kind of gift would it be?
?
There is no doubt that when Cao Wenjin gave him and the Zhou family a big gift, he must have valued the potential of him and the Zhou family, and wanted to be kind to him, so that he would remember this kindness and not be an enemy of Huang Shamen in the future, or even
Help maintain the Huangshamen inheritance.
In this case, the gift is too light, and it is obviously impossible for him to do this.
Although immortal cultivators value favors, they also have a clear understanding of the weight of favors.
It is very unrealistic to expect people to risk their lives to repay a small favor.
Time passed day by day, and the ancestor of the Chen family flew the empty ship under the command of Cao Wenjin for nearly twenty days before finally arriving at the rhinoceros horn continent that Cao Wenjin mentioned was thousands of miles away.
The reason why it took so long was because we encountered extremely bad sandstorms several times along the way, so the ancestor of the Chen family had no choice but to lower his empty boat to rest for a while.
Of course, the sandstorm cannot pose a threat to the ninth-level monks of the Purple Mansion like the ancestor of the Chen family, but in such an extremely severe sandstorm, the mana consumed by a large flying magic weapon such as the Skywalking Tower Ship will be ten times that under normal circumstances.
Several times, the ancestor of the Chen family was of course unwilling to do this, so he could only lower the empty boat and wait for the sandstorm to pass before taking off.
At this time, after the two empty ships stopped thousands of miles away from the so-called Rhinoceros Continent, Cao Wenjin asked all the monks to disembark and rest, and talked about the plan to attack Rhinoceros Continent.
"In this attack on Xijiaozhou, Daoyou Chen and Zhengnan will restrain one of the [Golden-horned Rhinoceros]. I will try to kill the other [Golden-horned Rhinoceros] in the shortest possible time, and then go over to help."
"So in order to create an opportunity for me and the other three to kill the [Golden-horned Rhinoceros], you and the remaining Zifu monks, as well as some ninth-level foundation-building monks, must hold back those fourth-level monsters on the oasis."
"As for the remaining foundation-building monks, your mission is to deal with those third-level monsters and prevent them from helping the fourth-level monsters deal with our Zifu monks."
"Finally, some people will inevitably run away after the war begins. Before the war begins, please take a few drops of blood each and leave them in these jade bottles for my safekeeping!"
In the vast sea of sand, Cao Wenjin glanced at Zhou Yang and hundreds of other monks, and spoke out his battle arrangements in a deep voice.
Then he waved his hand, and each white jade bottle fell in front of Zhou Yang and others, waiting for everyone to present their "testimonials."
As long as everyone's blood is in hand, anyone who wants to escape from the battlefield must first think about whether he can escape the pursuit of the "Ten Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Technique"!
