Chapter five hundred and sixty-one: Daoist friend's great prestige! Ask for a monthly ticket]
The sudden addition of "Tianjian Zhenren" was obviously beyond Zhou Yang's expectation, and he almost fell into the opponent's trap.
Obviously, if he admits in public that he is a traitor to the "Counter-Light Alliance", then "Master Tianjian", as the leader of the alliance, can naturally kill him with one sword.
No matter what his reasons are, betrayal is always betrayal!
Fortunately, he was alert in time and remained silent without answering the other party's question.
Lu Xuanji also reacted quickly and quickly moved Zhou Yang behind him to protect him.
When "Master Chihua" saw this scene, his face darkened, he looked at "Master Tianjian" coldly and said sarcastically: "Why, Tianjian, you are so angry from shame, do you want to vent your anger on a junior?
"
"Master Tianjian" did not deny this, but said lightly: "Those who deceive their masters and destroy their ancestors should be killed!"
"The great authority of Taoist friends!"
Lu Xuanji sneered, then narrowed his eyes and looked at "Master Tianjian" and said: "The death of Guo Jinhong is also due to me. Do you want to kill me too?"
"You are not from my far west land, but you come into my far west land to kill people. Naturally, I will not ignore you!"
"Master Tianjian" responded very forcefully. As soon as he finished speaking, the sword behind him was unsheathed with a clang.
"Let me teach you your brilliant strategy today!"
He draws his sword at the slightest disagreement. As expected, "Tianjian Zhenren" is a pure swordsman.
Although Lu Xuanji was not a swordsman, he was still good at handling swords. He immediately used his flying sword to engage in a sword duel with the "Master Tianjian".
His flying sword is a red-gold flying sword, named "Xuanyang Evil-killing Sword". It is a sixth-level high-grade flying sword passed down from ancient times. This sword has been used by many Xuanyang Immortal Sects.
It is used in sacrifices by the Supreme Elder, and the quality is absolutely top-notch.
The flying sword of "Tianjian Zhenren" is a silver flying sword. The sword is three feet long. When it is taken out of the sheath, it emits an extremely sharp sword energy. This sword is the secret method of his Taixuan Sword Sect.
The natal flying sword he sacrificed was called "Tai Xuan Tao-Zhan Dao Sword", which he had also warmed and refined to reach the sixth level.
The two flying swords of gold and silver were clashing back and forth between the two envoys of the ninth-level Nascent Soul "Half-step True Immortal". In the sky, only countless gold and silver sword lights were seen disappearing and reappearing.
Zhou Yang couldn't even see clearly where the Feijian body was.
Fortunately, the two "half-step true immortals" have reached the ultimate level of control over the power of the flying swords. Although they are fighting swords, there is very little sword energy leaking out, and the power is restrained and controlled on the two flying swords.
Such a sword fight lasted for about half a quarter of an hour and ended with Lu Xuanji withdrawing his sword on his own initiative.
"My fellow Taoist swordsmanship is superb and is close to the Tao. The name of Heavenly Sword is indeed worthy of the name!"
"As far as the skill of wielding a sword is concerned, Lu is willing to be defeated."
Lu Xuanji withdrew the flying sword and made it float above his head. He looked at the "Master Tianjian" opposite him with a solemn expression, but he openly admitted that his skills were inferior to others.
"If you still have any magical powers, feel free to use them."
"Master Tianjian" stood with his sword hanging, but he was unwilling to let it go.
Lu Xuanji knew that "Master Tianjian" wanted to measure his true strength to decide how to resolve today's matter.
If his performance is mediocre, then "Tianjian Zhenren" will definitely not give up easily. If possible, he will summon "Tianlei Zhenren" Lei Wanpeng and others who are watching the battle behind to surround him, in order to keep one or two of them.
Therefore, he did not talk nonsense and directly responded: "Since fellow Taoist said this, Lu will teach fellow Taoist some clever tricks."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and once again used several powerful sixth-level magic weapons, and combined with his own magical powers, he started a battle with the "Tianjian Zhenren" in the air.
The two of them fought directly in the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory", where the never-extinguishing "Nine Heavens Gang Wind" could eliminate the aftermath of their fight and not cause too much damage to the earth below.
Otherwise, if strong men of their level were fighting below, a sword energy would fall to the ground and it would immediately shatter the mountains, rivers and the earth, causing great trauma to the earth.
Zhou Yang looked up at the sky from below and saw the fierce light of swords and the shining of lightning in the sky. The figures of both parties could no longer be seen at all. He could only see the sound and light caused by the release of power from both sides.
Occasionally, the sword energy that has not been completely eliminated by the "Nine Heavenly Gang Wind" falls from the sky to the ground. It will immediately leave a crack on the ground that is hundreds of feet long, and all the flowers, plants, trees, birds and beasts within a thousand feet around the crack will
All the fish and insects were shattered into powder by the sword energy.
Sometimes purple thunder and lightning will fall, causing the ground to collapse and causing fires that can spread for dozens of miles.
These are just the aftermath of the aftermath, which shows how terrifying the power of two "half-step true immortals" is once they fight with all their strength and unleash true fire.
This battle lasted for nearly half a day before it ended.
When the two finally returned, each looked a little embarrassed.
Lu Xuanji's robe was torn with many holes by the sword energy, turning him into a beggar's attire. A strip of tender new flesh could also be seen on his cheek.
"Master Tianjian" has simply changed into a robe, but the white hair on his head is much shorter, and it seems that he has just been born again.
"This matter will not end here. Fifty years from now, I will have a life-or-death showdown with you, Chihua, above the West Sea!"
The returning "Master Tianjian" took a deep look at Lu Xuanji, then turned his eyes to "Master Chihua" and expressed his decision in a cold tone.
This is how he dealt with Guo Jinhong's death.
"Okay, then as you wish, we will have a life-or-death showdown in fifty years!"
"Zhenren Chihua"'s face darkened, but he agreed on the spot without showing any signs of weakness.
Being able to let two "half-step true immortals" from the ninth level of Nascent Soul fight for his life and death, Guo Jinhong's death can be regarded as unjust.
Therefore, even Peng Yuanjing, the only Yuanying-stage monk in the Haoyang Sect, did not object at all when he heard the decision of "Master Tianjian" to deal with it.
So, the matter was settled.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang, together with Lu Xuanji and others, left the territory of the "Backlight Alliance" and entered the Great Light Immortal Palace under the "escort" of a group of Nascent Soul Stage monks from the "Backlight Alliance".
It is foreseeable that after this incident, Zhou Yang's wanted order in the "Backlight Alliance" will not be canceled, but more rewards will be added.
However, this is of no use to him who plans to develop in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent in the future. Anyway, the benefits he got this time are big enough, and paying such a small price for this can be said to be a huge profit.
And regardless of the increased reward, in fact because Guo Jinhong, who had the deepest hatred against him, is dead, even if he shows up on the territory of the "Backlight Alliance" in the future, he will only attract the siege of some Golden Core monks. Nascent Soul monks are
It is unlikely that he would come out to hunt down a golden elixir-level monk for that reward, unless he killed someone he cared about.
But with his current strength, will he be afraid of being surrounded and killed by some monks of the same realm?
"Little friend Zhou, the matter here is over. I am going to return to Yunzhou to cultivate immortality. Do you want to leave with me?"
On a certain mountain peak within the Great Guangming Immortal Palace, Lu Xuanji and Zhou Yang, who had already said goodbye to Yin Hanguang and "Zhenren Chihua", stood on the top of the mountain and were also saying goodbye.
"This junior has some matters that have not been settled in this far west place, so I will not leave with you, Senior Lu. This is the map of the place where the teleportation array is located. There is a ghost servant kept in captivity by this junior to guard it. Senior, if you
If you want to use the teleportation array, just go there."
Zhou Yang respectfully presented the map of "Demon Falling Valley" and gave his answer.
"There is no need for a map. It is too extravagant for me to use this large-scale teleportation array alone. It only takes less than a month. If it is not urgent, there is no need for such luxury."
Lu Xuanji shook his head slightly and did not pick up Zhou Yang's map, nor did he think of using the teleportation array to leave.
Indeed, even for someone like him who is a "half-step true immortal" at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, spending thirty-six high-grade spiritual stones in less than a month just to hurry up is too extravagant.
The purpose of that large-scale remote teleportation array is mainly for monks below the Nascent Soul stage who cannot easily cross the "Sea of Death", or for quick support.
Even in the Great Light Immortal Palace in its heyday, no Nascent Soul Stage monk could afford to use this large-scale remote teleportation array alone to save less than a month of travel time.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Yang could only take back the map, then looked at him with admiration and sighed: "Senior Lu is so cultivated and so frugal. This junior is really admired and ashamed at the same time!"
I never thought that after Lu Xuanji heard what he said, he looked at him with a strange expression and said, "You really know how to flatter me in every possible way. You said this because you already knew that I don't know how to use the teleportation array, right?"
You have seen this all!
Zhou Yang secretly thought in his heart.
But there was no trace of embarrassment on his face and he said: "If Senior Lu hadn't been a frugal person, I would have been unable to express my admiration for you, so these words are definitely from the bottom of my heart.
Nothing false!"
Lu Xuanji was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, you are an interesting kid. If I had met you a few hundred years ago, I might have been tempted to accept a disciple like Junior Brother Qingyang.
What a pity! What a pity!”
It's a pity that he doesn't have long life now, and Zhou Yang is getting more and more mature, so the idea of recruiting disciples is out of the question.
Lu Xuanji left and soon turned into a stream of red light and disappeared from Zhou Yang's sight.
However, before he left, he left a gift for Zhou Yang, which were ten dragon scales ripped from the body of the sixth-order dragon "Chi Xiao".
If there are enough scales of a sixth-level dragon, and a sixth-level master with superb weapon refining skills can refine them, it is very likely that a rare sixth-level defensive magic weapon can be refined.
However, this kind of sixth-level weapon refining master is harder to find than the sixth-level dragon scales, and the price of asking him to refine the weapons will not be lower than the value of the sixth-level dragon scales used to refine the weapons.
So Zhou Yang quickly gave up this idea, and decided to wait until his weapon refining skills reached the fifth level, and then use this object to refine a powerful defensive weapon for himself.
Next, Zhou Yang secretly sneaked into the territory of the "Backlight Alliance" and sneaked into the Dayun Kingdom adjacent to the Yu Kingdom.
The Dayun Kingdom is located between the Yu Kingdom and the Jinyang Kingdom. When Zhou Yang came to the far west for the first time, he set out from the Yu Kingdom to the Jinyang Kingdom and passed through the Dayun Kingdom.
However, the territory of Dayun Kingdom is mountainous and the terrain is complex. In addition, there are only three major sects of cultivating immortals in this country. Unlike Yu Kingdom, where there are many sects, it is actually an excellent cultivation environment for some small families and casual cultivators.
In some remote mountains of Dayun Kingdom, there are many second-order or third-order spiritual veins that are looked down upon by major cultivation sects and major cultivator families. These spiritual veins are either in poor locations, or the areas are barren and have little spiritual energy.
Product output has never been taken seriously by big forces.
But for some casual cultivators and small family cultivators who just want a place to live, this kind of place is worth fighting for.
The Zhou family of Cangyuan Immortal City, as early as thirty years ago, occupied a second-level high-grade spiritual vein in a remote place called the Gray Rock Mountains in the Dayun Kingdom, and spent spiritual stones to upgrade it to the third level.
Low grade.
Nowadays, most of the Zhou family monks who have evacuated from Cangyuan Immortal City have moved here.
For the remote limestone mountains, the Zhou family with more than ten foundation-building monks is undoubtedly a giant. Therefore, since the Zhou family monks migrated here, other small families and casual cultivators living on the spiritual veins here have
They all expressed their surrender and sent some local specialties as tribute.
Zhou Yang was currently on the Zhou Family's Lingshan Mountain, enjoying a second-level spiritual fruit called "Rat Fruit".
This kind of "rat fruit" looks like a peanut, but it is much larger than a peanut, as big as a walnut. It is a specialty of the Gray Rock Mountains, because there are many kinds of rat monsters in this mountain range, and this spiritual fruit is also
They mostly grow in the nests of rat demons, hence their name.
For monks in the Qi training period, this item can heal internal injuries and restore essence, blood and vitality. It is one of the tributes paid to the Zhou family by small families and casual cultivators in the Gray Rock Mountains.
But for Zhou Yang, who has reached the Golden Core level, this food is just a food with a unique taste.
"So, you are living quite well here now?"
In the cave, Zhou Yang suddenly showed a thoughtful look on his face after listening to Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong's report on the Zhou family's situation after moving to Dayun Kingdom.
"It's true, but it's just fun in the midst of hardship!"
"This limestone mountain range is so barren that even a second-level elixir can make people break their heads to fight for it. In terms of resources, it is not much better than when we were in the boundless sand sea. Even if the Zhou family can occupy the entire limestone mountain range,
You can’t support so many monks in your family.”
"Now, with the help of the spiritual stones and treasures given by our ancestors, we can temporarily appease those tribesmen. When these things are used up, if we don't do anything, I am afraid that people will be scattered!"
Li Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he couldn't agree with Zhou Yang's words.
The casual cultivators and small families in the Gray Rock Mountains think that the Zhou family's incomparable scenery is a good sign, but how do they know that underneath this scenery, there are actually many hidden dangers.
Then he seemed to be afraid that this was not enough to attract Zhou Yang's attention, and said with a worried face:
"Although this limestone mountain range is remote, it has not escaped the sight of the big families and sects in Dayun Country. After our Zhou family retreated to Dayun Country, several big families have sent people overtly and covertly to recruit us.
"
"Previously, I could use the excuse that my old master was still alive and my footing was not stable, but in the past few years, I can already feel that their patience is about to run out. If I don't choose a family to depend on as soon as possible, and I refuse to move out,
If we look at this limestone mountain range, I'm afraid they will join forces to kill us first and then divide our wealth!"
People become humble when they leave their hometown, no matter where in the world they are.
The Zhou family moved from Cangyuan Immortal City of Yu State to the limestone mountains of Dayun State. The local powerful people in Dayun State will definitely know about it, and they will definitely not be indifferent.
If they hadn't been wise and only settled temporarily in this remote and barren gray rock mountain range without expanding outward, someone would have been eager to find an excuse to kill them in order to collect all their wealth.
Despite this, it is impossible for them to develop stably here. Those families in Dayun Country who have Zifu Stage monks are not willing to see the Zhou family with more than ten Foundation Establishment Stage monks settling next to them, and then someone
One day, a Zifu family appeared and was equal to them.
The Zhou family is willing to rely on them and become vassals, and they can still allow the Zhou family to exist depending on the situation.
Of course, afterwards, they would definitely find various excuses to transfer the Zhou family's foundation-building monks to fight monsters, which would eventually weaken the Zhou family's strength and make it impossible for the Zhou family to threaten their main family.
A person as smart as Li Hong would not fail to see this, so he never thought of living in this limestone mountain range forever.
"So, you still want to go back to Cangyuan Immortal City, right?"
Zhou Yang stared at this smart and capable family member and helped him say what he wanted to say but didn't say clearly.
"Ancestor, please show mercy!"
Li Hong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
When Zhou Tongyue next to him saw this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Ancestor, please have mercy!"
"I can help you kill Geng Zhong and his henchmen, but without Geng Zhong, Cangyuan Immortal City cannot be ruled by you. With your strength, at most you will become one of the powerful families!"
"Now that the Li family has been destroyed and Li Mubai is wanted, my original plan to put the Li family in power cannot be realized. Once you return to Cangyuan Immortal City, you will have to fight alone in the future!"
Zhou Yang was shaking his head as he spoke.
This is not how things should have turned out!
If "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cangyuan could live a few more years and live to this day, Zhou Yang could join forces with "Cangyuan Sanren" to put on a play and kill the arrogant and domineering Geng as a friend of "Cangyuan Sanren"
He was loyal, and then the "Sanren of Cangyuan" entrusted him with the task and asked him to sit in the Immortal City of Cangyuan and help the Li family continue to be in power.
There were no Nascent Soul monks in Yu State, Zhou Yang had a disguise mask given by Lu Xuanji to cover his face at that time, and "Cang Yuan Sanren" himself testified for him, so he was very sure that this matter could be successfully accomplished.
It's a pity that God's will played a trick on people, and the plan could not change as quickly as it did. He did not expect that "Cangyuan Sanren" would die so quickly, nor did he expect that Geng Zhong had penetrated so deeply into the Li family, and that Zhou Guangxiang's secret meeting with Taoists and his children would be exposed.
come out.
This series of changes made his original plan unworkable at all.
Before coming to this limestone mountain range, Zhou Yang also considered how to settle the Zhou family here. He prepared two options for Li Hong and the others.
The first is to go to the territory of the Great Guangming Immortal Palace and rely on the Great Guangming Immortal Palace. Based on his friendship with Yin Hanguang, he only needs to say hello to him, and the Zhou family will definitely not face any difficulties there.
The second is to let the Zhou family develop in the Dayun Kingdom. Anyway, the relationship between the Zhou family and Zhou Yang has not been exposed. He can definitely find a cultivating sect or a big family to join him in the Dayun Kingdom, and then he can still secretly fund some spiritual aid.
its development.
At this time, after shaking his head and sighing, he still expressed his two opinions.
"I appreciate Ancestor's kindness, but if we go to the Great Guangming Immortal Palace, our relationship with Ancestor will be completely exposed. When you are not here, Ancestor, if the Haoyang Sect wants to take revenge on you, Ancestor,
If you take it out on us, we won’t be able to stop you at all. I’m sure the Great Light Immortal Palace won’t send experts to stay in charge of our Zhou family, right?”
"As for the Great Cloud Country, we cannot stay any longer. The size of our Zhou family is here. Even if we find someone to join us, those big families will definitely not fully trust and accept us. And how can those big sects accept someone like us who has no one?"
A family with a mortal foundation takes refuge? Are we going to send all the family’s children into the sect in the future?”
Li Hong also shook his head and declined Zhou Yang's two proposals without hesitation, and explained the reasons for his rejection.
Zhou Yang is not unaware of these drawbacks, but even if there are these drawbacks, there is always a way out.
But again, Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong are in charge of the Zhou family here now, and they know the situation best. It is not easy for him to intervene rashly and make them do what he says.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future due to his forced arrangements, he will be less responsible. What he is most afraid of is that the Zhou family here will become alienated from the family and completely break away from the family.
"Okay, since you insist on returning to Cangyuan Immortal City, I won't stop you, ancestor."
He nodded, respecting Li and Hong's choice, and then with a wave of his hand, he took out two jade bottles and threw them to them.
"It happened that I bought three copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] not long ago in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. These two copies are rewards from my ancestor and my family for your hard work over the years. Although you two have already lived for more than 210 years,
It does not meet the family's conditions for the use of this kind of spiritual object, but ancestor, I will do something special this time. I hope you will take care of yourself and don't live up to the expectations that ancestor, me and the family have for you!"
To be honest, Zhou Yang had been debating for a long time whether to give two precious "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong, two old men in their 210s.
Although the Zhou family is now wealthy, luck is still important in obtaining such spiritual objects, and the young members of the family who meet the requirements are not enough!
But Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong did indeed make great contributions, and those who have made great contributions must be rewarded, which is the principle he has always adhered to.
Especially Li Hong, Zhou Yang is very optimistic about this junior now, very much hopes that he can continue to work for hundreds of more years, and really wants to see what surprises this junior can bring to him in the future.
