Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Three: Welcome the Elder Taishang back to the mountain
"Phew, I've been away from home for seventeen years, and I'm finally back!"
In the vast sea of sand, Zhou Yang, who had just left the snowy peaks of the Duanyun Mountains, stood on the flying boat and looked at the endless yellow sand ahead, feeling extremely friendly.
As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
No matter how good the world of immortality is in Liuyunzhou, he is still an outsider there, and his actions are controlled by others and cannot go as he pleases.
But in this boundless sea of sand cultivation world, he is one of the few people at the top of the pyramid, who speaks the truth.
I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. This is what Zhou Yang has always thought.
Speaking of which, this trip home went smoothly. The "Huan Yun Boat" and the "Hidden Spirit Incense" were used to travel through the cloud and mist area of the Duanyun Mountains. As long as I didn't happen to pass by a fourth-level monster, everything was basically fine.
There is no possibility of being discovered.
Zhou Yang did not hesitate to exchange for this magic weapon, and he really made the right move.
"Let's go back to Chihu Mountain first. We have been away from home for more than ten years. I don't know how my Zhou family will develop under the leadership of Guangxiang."
The straight-line distance between Chihu Mountain and Duanyun Mountain Range is less than ten thousand miles. Although the place where Zhou Yang and the others left Duanyun Mountain Range was not on this straight line, they could not go far around. Only a few hours passed, and the green Chihu Mountain Oasis
Just appeared in sight.
Wanting to test the vigilance of the family monks, after Zhou Yang saw the Chihu Mountain Oasis, he simply turned the "Huan Cloud Boat" into a white cloud and hid it in the clouds in the sky, and then released the golden-winged thunder eagle to make it release its hostility.
The momentum flew towards the Chihu Mountain Oasis.
This golden-winged thunder eagle was hatched by him in the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent. Even Zhou Guangxiang did not know that he had this pet, and with his third-level high-grade monster cultivation, Zhou Guangxiang would not immediately send a warning to
Huang Shamen asked for help so that nothing would happen.
Because there was a precedent of the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle attacking the Chihu Mountain Oasis. When the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle exuding strong hostility appeared in the sky above the Chihu Mountain Oasis, it was first discovered by the monks stationed on the borders of the oasis arranged by the Zhou family.
, and then the stationed monks quickly lit special smoke to alert Chihu Mountain.
The special smoke was red, yellow, and green, indicating that a third-level high-grade flying monster had invaded the oasis. Once the smoke rose, it could be seen for hundreds of miles. When the monks from behind discovered it, they would naturally light the smoke to warn those further behind.
"Not bad, not bad. The Lingshan Outpost has been built to the edge of the oasis. It seems that the family's financial income in recent years should be quite considerable, otherwise Guangxiang would not spend the Lingshi on this."
In the sky, Zhou Yang looked at the continuous beacon fire with a slight smile on his face, quite satisfied.
No one was the first to establish artificial spiritual veins at the border of the oasis and send monks to station them. When Zhou Yang went to the Baisha River Oasis for the first time, he rested for a night on such a spiritual mountain, and was even killed by Chen Ping'an of the Chen family.
His son Chen Fangping extorted a sum of spiritual stones from Haosheng.
After the Zhou family acquired a large oasis like the Chihu Mountain Oasis, for the long-term consideration of the family, of course they also formulated a development plan to establish a border Lingshan outpost.
However, when Zhou Yang left, he took away 70% to 80% of the Zhou family's reserve spirit stones. Logically speaking, this plan should have been postponed for a long time before it could be implemented. Unexpectedly, it has been implemented now. This undoubtedly shows that the Zhou family's financial income over the years has been certain.
It's a big increase.
As the smoke spread throughout the oasis, the monks and mortals of the Zhou family in the oasis immediately took action according to two sets of plans.
When those cultivators saw the smoke, except for the low-level monks who were in command of the mortal towns and had to command the mortals not to move without permission, the other monks of the Zhou family and the monks of the vassal Zhou family all gathered towards the nearest Lingshan, preparing to rely on the Lingshan guardian formation.
Resist monster attacks.
But those mortals in the mortal towns quickly evacuated to the nearest underground safety cave under the organization of the official personnel of the city lord's palace.
These two different action plans were decided upon by Zhou Yang when he was still here.
He now sees that everything is proceeding according to the plan he originally made, and a sense of satisfaction arises in his heart.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that Guangxiang has put in some hard work over the years to be able to make these mortals adapt to this plan so quickly. He must have conducted various drills to prevent monster attacks."
He looked condescendingly at the movements of the Zhou family monks and mortals below, and after commenting on them, he followed the golden-winged thunder eagle thousands of miles deep into the oasis.
At this time, Zhou Guangxiang and other foundation-building monks from Chihu Mountain intercepted the two third-level monsters halfway, the Gripen and the Flying Divine Leopard.
When Zhou Yang left, the Zhou family only had three foundation-building monks, Zhou Xuanhao, Zhou Guangxiang, and Zhou Guangxiang. The rest, such as Huang Yi and Ma Shaoyang, were just vassals.
But now, in addition to Zhou Guangxiang and his wife, the Zhou family's foundation-building monks on the backs of the two third-level monsters also have Zhou Guangtai.
And according to Zhou Yang's original plan, if a third-level high-grade monster attacks the oasis, a foundation-building monk must be retained on the Zhou family's Red Tiger Mountain to control the formation.
In other words, if Zhou Guangxiang had not changed his plan to deal with the enemy, in the seventeen years since he left, in addition to the former security elder Zhou Guangtai, a new foundation-building monk, the Zhou family would have had other people build foundations.
After discovering this, Zhou Yang was happy, but at the same time, he couldn't help but have a look of worry in his eyes.
"I gave Guang Xiang four Foundation Establishment Pills before I left. Only seventeen years later, the Zhou family has produced two Foundation Establishment monks. Could it be that he has changed the redemption standards?"
Twenty thousand family contribution points can be exchanged for one foundation-building pill. This is a clan rule set by him. If Zhou Guangxiang changes this clan rule while he is away from the family, then he will really be disappointed with this successor.
It's not that the clan rules cannot be changed. After all, when he was the clan leader, he changed the clan rules more than once.
But from Zhou Yang's point of view, the clan rule he had set before he came back was relatively a clan rule that took good care of the monks in the clan.
Zhou Guangxiang does not have the ability to predict events like a god, so he knew that he would come back with more than a dozen fourth-level demon pills and the "Condensing Yuan Fruit" tree. In this case, if he tampered with this clan rule, he would be taking advantage of the family's inheritance.
The background is just a joke.
"Let's take another look and see how effective they are in fighting!"
Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Zhou Yang secretly gave an attack order to the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, and the big golden bird roared fiercely and launched a fierce attack.
The combat power of the third-level high-grade golden-winged thunder eagle can even fight against the early-stage monks of the Zifu. Not to mention that Zhou Yang, this golden-winged thunder eagle, has taken the "Qiling Pill" and the heart of the beast, and awakened the beast.
Bird blood.
It flapped its wings, and a stream of pale golden thunder struck at the three and two beasts on the opposite side. These pale golden thunder were so powerful that the Flying Divine Leopard, who had just been promoted to a third-level monster, screamed and fell after being struck by it.
Falling to the ground, the distressed Zhou Guangxiang almost shed tears.
The Gripen, which is also a third-level high-grade monster, fares much better. Although some of its feathers were burned by lightning, it was not serious.
"Stop the evil beasts!"
Zhou Guangxiang has been the clan leader for more than ten years, and the majesty of the clan leader has been initially developed. At this time, he stood on the back of the griffin beast and shouted majestically. He pointed his hand at the golden-winged thunder eagle, and a khaki aura fell on the golden-winged thunder eagle.
On the eagle.
The golden-winged thunder eagle, which was originally as fast as lightning, was suppressed by this earth-yellow spiritual light, and its speed was instantly slowed down by 20 to 30%.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the magical weapons sacrificed by Zhou Guangxiang and others and the breath of wind and fire ejected from the griffin beast's mouth instantly flooded the sky around the golden-winged thunder eagle.
Such a violent attack, if replaced by an ordinary third-level high-grade golden-winged thunder eagle, would not lead to death but also serious injury.
But Zhou Yang's golden-winged thunder eagle is different. After this golden-winged thunder eagle swallowed the heart of a barbarian beast and awakened its bloodline, its physical strength was only slightly worse than that of a barbarian bird of the same level.
The attacks from Zhou Guangxiang and others hit it, but it only lost some feathers, not even a minor injury.
However, it was completely angered by the attack by Zhou Guangxiang and others. It saw a flash of blood in its dark golden eagle eyes, and it was about to use the "violent" talent it gained after awakening the blood of the barbarian.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang, who was watching the battle in the sky, quickly appeared and shouted loudly: "That's enough, stop it!"
"Uncle Nine!"
"The Supreme Elder!"
There were continuous exclamations, but it was Zhou Guangxiang and others who saw Zhou Yang appearing behind him.
Several people looked at Zhou Yang and his wife who appeared in the sky with surprise and joy, and then looked at the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, which put away its hostility and stopped its offensive after hearing Zhou Yang's order. They still didn't understand what happened just now.
Something happened.
"Okay, let's stop chatting. Let's send a message first to let the people of various tribes resume their normal lives. If we have anything to say, we can talk about it when we go home!"
Zhou Yang waved his hand and stopped several descendants who wanted to salute and greet him.
Seeing this, the clan leader Zhou Guangxiang immediately sent a summons Feijian to the monks left behind on Chihu Mountain to explain the situation and ask them to lift the state of emergency.
Then several people boarded Zhou Yang's "Huan Yun Boat" and were carried back to Chihu Mountain by Zhou Yang.
After the "Huan Yunzhou" appeared outside Chihu Mountain, Zhou Guangqing, the foundation-building monk left behind by the Zhou family, had opened the mountain protection formation and led hundreds of Zhou family members on Chihu Mountain to wait outside the mountain.
"People of the Zhou clan, respectfully welcome the Supreme Elder back to the mountain!"
"People of the Zhou clan, respectfully welcome the Supreme Elder back to the mountain!"
"People of the Zhou clan, respectfully welcome the Supreme Elder back to the mountain!"
Hundreds of Zhou family members, led by the family elder Zhou Guangqing, as if they had gone through many trainings, all bowed and saluted Zhou Yang who landed, and shouted in unison.
This shouting sounded from Chihu Mountain, and spread to ten, and then to hundreds, and spread throughout the entire Chihu Mountain Oasis in less than half a day.
All the Zhou family members, whether they were monks or ordinary people, who heard the news that Zhou Yang had returned to the mountain, bowed and saluted in the direction of Chihu Mountain with great joy.
After receiving the news, the heads of several immortal cultivating families who were vassalized by the Zhou family rushed to Chihu Mountain immediately, fearing that being late would leave a bad impression on Zhou Yang and the Zhou family.
What's more, after receiving the news, Zhang Yunpeng, the head of Huangshamen, hurriedly sent Zhou Yuanchen to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to inquire about the situation.
