Chapter 246: Seeing people's hearts for a long time
The content of this family meeting soon spread throughout the Zhou family through word of mouth from those who attended the meeting. The news revealed by Zhou Yang during the meeting did have an immediate effect on stabilizing people's hearts and boosting morale.
During the meeting, Zhou Yang also issued several orders, that is, for all the monks to start strengthening their war preparations, and to start hoarding spiritual grains and monster meat, while vigorously refining magic weapons, spiritual pills, spiritual talismans and other items.
War is about to begin!
This is the realization that many Zhou family monks had after seeing their family's actions.
Then they soon discovered that it was not that war was about to break out, but that war had already come.
In Baisha River Oasis.
Luo Yunqing suddenly led nearly forty foundation-building monks and more than four hundred late-stage Qi-training monks to the outside of the Baisha River Oasis, threatening that the Chen family and the various immortal cultivating families in the Baisha River Oasis would be killed if they did not fall to their side.
Eliminate rebellion.
Chen Ping'an had just accepted Zhang Yunpeng's mediation and reconciled with the Zhou family. At this time, he must have been reluctant to turn to Luo Yunqing's side.
And he is not optimistic that people like Luo Yunqing can succeed.
The most important thing is that even if he joins Luo Yunqing's side, he may not get many benefits.
Luo Yunqing may not be able to give him what he wants, and he may not need what Luo Yunqing promises.
This is the reality.
So after receiving Luo Yunqing's ultimatum, he stalled for time while using the communication circle established by Huangshamen to send summons orders to the Zhou family, Yang family and other families. At the same time, he sent a summons to Zhang Yunpeng of Huangshamen.
Ask for help.
Zhou Yang was originally preparing to go back to Chihuling Ziyun Cave for seclusion to attack the eighth level of foundation building. At this time, he received an emergency summons from the Chen family. He could only suppress this plan temporarily and discuss the response with the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
policy.
"After the nest is overturned, is An's egg intact? The Chen family asks for help. Unless our Zhou family wants to fall to Luo Yunqing, we will definitely need support!"
"But the current situation is that we don't know if the personnel strength Luo Yunqing brought this time is really the only one he has exposed so far, and we can't guarantee that he will not change his target to attack us after finding out that he cannot destroy the Chen family.
The spiritual mountains of these foundation-building families!”
"So we can support, but while supporting, the family's defense cannot be relaxed."
As the clan leader, Zhou Yang was the first to express his opinion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan nodded in agreement and said: "Xiaojiu, you are right, we really need to be prepared for both. In my opinion, we can support the Chen family at the same time.
Let most of the low-level monks of the family take refuge in Red Fox Ridge, so even if Luo Yunqing really leads people to attack our Zhou family, the most we can do is give up the oasis to them for the time being!"
"The oasis is here, and no one can take it away. Even if Luo Yunqing occupies this place, he, a monk from the Purple Mansion, cannot condescend to sit here. After he leaves, sooner or later, this oasis will still belong to our Zhou family!"
Giving up the two third-level spiritual veins, Yuquan Peak and Haoyang Mountain, is of course a huge loss for the Zhou family.
But Zhou Minghan knew that these losses were only temporary. After Zhou Yang succeeded in opening the Zifu, the Zhou family would not only be able to easily recapture the two spiritual mountains, but also take a big bite out of the hands of Luo Yunqing.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain something!
Zhou Minghan has lived for more than two hundred and thirty years, how could he not understand this truth?
His opinion coincided with what Zhou Yang had in mind.
In fact, Zhou Yang wanted to say this just now, but he was worried that the elderly Zhou Minghan would not be able to accept this opinion, so he didn't put it forward immediately.
Now it seems that he took it for granted.
Although Zhou Minghan is old, his mind is still very clear and he can distinguish the important from the important.
So he happily said: "My grandson fully agrees with your opinion, great-grandfather. I will leave it to you to move people to Chihu Ridge. To support the Chen family, let my grandson take Guangxiang there!"
When Zhou Minghan heard what he said, his expression changed and he looked at him with frowning eyebrows.
After staring at Zhou Yang for half a cup of tea, he nodded gently and said, "Okay!"
"Then it's settled. My grandson will reply to the Chen family right away and then go to Chihu Ridge to pick up Guang Xiang."
Zhou Yang slightly avoided Zhou Minghan's gaze and quickly settled the matter.
On the other side, Chen Ping'an was also happy after receiving the reply from the Zhou family.
If the power of the entire Baisha River Oasis cultivation world could be united, and with the help of formations, Luo Yunqing, a powerful dragon who came from afar, might not be able to suppress a local snake like them.
But not long after he smiled, his face gradually darkened again.
Because after the Zhou family responded to the message, no one from the other families who received his message, including the Yang family of Jinquan Valley, sent an accurate reply saying that they would support the Chen family.
It was not until nearly a day after he sent the summons that two or three families responded one after another saying that they would send people to support them, but among these families, there was still no Yang family from Jinquan Valley.
"Okay, okay, it turns out that a distance can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart!"
"Who would have thought that in times of crisis, the people who are really willing to share the adversity with our Chen family would be the Zhou family who were once hostile to us!"
"The Yang family, what a Yang family!"
Chen Ping'an murmured to himself with a gloomy face, his eyes flashing with terrifying murderous intent.
Including the former Zhou family, the Chen family is very considerate to these families.
Let’s not talk about anything else. When the ancestor of the Chen family was still alive, every “Foundation Building Conference” held was a huge favor to the participating families.
In the past two or three hundred years, various foundation-building families in the Baisha River Oasis Immortal Cultivation World have relied on the "Foundation-Building Conference" to obtain Foundation-Building Pills and successfully built foundations, at least more than ten people.
There are several families who have successfully continued their family inheritance because they obtained Foundation Establishment Pills from the "Foundation Establishment Conference".
As a result, now, less than two years after the death of the ancestor of the Chen family, those families who have benefited greatly from the Chen family immediately do not take the Chen family's orders seriously. This makes Chen Ping'an grit his teeth if he can.
He murmured to himself with a cold face: "I, Chen Ping'an, have written down this matter. When this calamity is over, I will make you traitors who cheat on you understand that since I, the Chen family, can give you foundation-building pills to help you,
If we continue the family inheritance, we can also take back these and destroy your whole family!"
Luo Yunqing gave the Chen family three days to consider, which was enough for Zhou Yang to travel from Yuquan Lake Oasis to Chihu Ridge, and then to Baisha River Oasis.
After he rode the griffin beast and led Zhou Guangxiang to the outside of the Baisha River Oasis, in order to prevent Luo Yunqing from using the "encirclement and reinforcements" tactic, the two of them used the "Golden Cicada Hiding Breath Technique" to restrain their breath and pretended to be monks in the Qi training period.
Went to the white hump of the Chen family.
It just so happened that at this time, the Chen family was gathering scattered clansmen to return to the family. The two of them headed to White Camel Peak at this time, but they were not very conspicuous.
After arriving outside the White Camel Peak safely, Zhou Yang immediately sent a message to Chen Pingan Feijian to inform him of his whereabouts, and then Chen Pingan personally asked someone to open the formation and let the two of them enter the White Camel Peak.
Arriving at the White Camelback, after some polite greetings, Zhou Yang looked directly at Chen Ping'an and asked: "Senior Chen, I wonder if there is a reply from Huang Shamen? How do you plan to fight this war?"
"Head Zhang is still unable to get away, but he has promised to send someone with a fourth-level puppet beast to support him. According to him, as long as we can hold on for a year and a half, Mrs. Jiang should be able to officially practice
Cheng [Heretic Golden Elixir] is out of seclusion, and then he will be able to come in person to help us repel the enemy."
Chen Pingan's eyes flashed and he whispered Huang Shamen's reply.
After the battle in Rhinoceros Continent, Cao Wenjin took back the fourth-level puppet beasts that had been given to various Zifu stage monks to control. Now that he thinks about it, this was the most correct thing he did at that time.
If this were not the case, no other family would be able to withstand the attacks of Luo Yunqing, a monk from the Purple Mansion, and several fourth-level puppet beasts, except for the Huangshamen Mountain Gate, which is guarded by the fifth-level formation.
"Stand and wait for help?"
Zhou Yang whispered to himself, but there was no surprise.
After all, Luo Yunqing is on the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion, and Chen Pingan is only on the second floor of the Purple Mansion. With such a big difference in cultivation, even if Chen Pingan's combat power is better than that of ordinary monks of the same level, he can still be on par with them.
Not bad.
But don't forget that Luo Yunqing is not just one person, he also has Guo Shuyun as his accomplice.
Who knows if Guo Shuyun is hiding in secret now, waiting for Chen Ping'an to leave the protection of the formation, and then joins forces with Luo Yunqing to attack and kill him?
And as far as Zhou Yang knew, the few loose cultivators from the Zifu period who were originally very low-key in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World are now frequently showing up, seemingly wanting to make a difference.
These people were previously feared and suppressed by the Huangshamen. Now that they have emerged under such circumstances, it is difficult to say whether they have reached any agreement with Luo Yunqing and Guo Shuyun, the two Huangshamen traitors.
Zhang Yunpeng did not dare to go out of the gate of Huangshamen, probably because he was afraid that Luo Yunqing and others were trying to lure the snake out of its cave, luring him out of the gate of Huangshamen so that they could surround and kill him.
He knew this, so he was not surprised by the choice of Zhang Yunpeng and Chen Ping'an. He just continued to ask: "Can Senior Chen reveal how much our current defensive strength is?"
When Zhou Yang asked about this, Chen Ping'an's face instantly turned ugly.
He replied in a low voice: "Based on the most optimistic estimate, our defensive strength this time will not exceed fifteen foundation-building monks, but there will be thousands of Qi-training monks."
After years of recovery, the Chen family's foundation-building monks have returned to seven, and together with the foundation-building monks from the four vassal foundation-building families on the Baisha River Oasis, there are eleven people.
Adding these eleven people to the two members of the Zhou family, there are thirteen people.
After listening to Chen Pingan's words, Zhou Yang didn't know what was going on, and his face turned dark instantly.
