Chapter 562: The blood debt must be paid with blood! Ask for a monthly ticket]
When they first met Zhou Yang a few years ago, they were promised by Zhou Yang that he would give them a chance to be promoted to the Zifu. At that time, Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong vaguely guessed the outcome.
Now they have actually obtained two copies of the extremely precious "Purple Heart Chalcedony" from Zhou Yang. Even though the two of them have developed a calm demeanor during more than two hundred years of practice, they are also extremely surprised at this time and they kneel down quickly.
He kowtows to express gratitude.
They are old people of the Zhou family. Although they have left the Zhou family for hundreds of years, they also know how strict the rules of the Zhou family are and how rare this "Purple Heart Chalcedony" is.
Now, Zhou Yang is willing to make an exception for these two old men who are over 200 years old, and use this precious treasure on them. This kind of kindness is so great that it is difficult to repay, and it is completely worthy of what the two of them have done for the family over the years.
Giving and sacrificing.
When the two got this treasure, they couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
At this time, the two of them were extremely glad that they had chosen to follow Zhou Yang to this far west land.
Although coming here made them suffer a lot and suffered a lot of grievances, they also gained the respect of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, who rewarded them with a large number of spiritual objects to help them practice, so that they, who originally had average spiritual qualifications,
, they can also practice smoothly to the ninth level of foundation building, and now they are given spiritual objects such as "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to help them open up the Purple Mansion.
Life always requires facing countless choices. One right choice may change the destiny of one's life. Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong undoubtedly made the right choice and got the opportunity to change their destiny.
Of course, whether they can ultimately succeed in changing their destiny depends on themselves.
The Gray Rock Mountains did not have the conditions to attack the Zi Mansion, so next, Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong called together all the remaining foundation-building monks of the Zhou family, and after slightly revealing Zhou Yang's true identity,
With the "Purple Heart Chalcedony", he went to the "Tianding Immortal City" established by the Tianding Sect, the largest sect in the Dayun Kingdom, to rent a cave to open the Purple Mansion.
Apart from Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong, there are still ten monks in the foundation-building phase of the Zhou family on the Gray Rock Mountains.
Among these ten people, the oldest one is Li Hong's Taoist monk Zhou Fuyun. He is about to turn two hundred and twenty years old, and because he used too much force when he attacked the Zifu period more than twenty years ago, he suffered from an incurable disease.
Due to his injuries, he had actually long since lost the ability to fight with others. It was even difficult for him to fly with a sword, and he could only barely maintain his normal ability to walk.
The remaining nine foundation-building monks were all born after Zhou Yang first arrived in the Far West, so they are not very old. The oldest is only over a hundred years old, and the one with the highest cultivation level is only at the fourth level of foundation-building.
.
At this time, Zhou Yang called these ten people to the cave, also preparing to have an in-depth conversation with these Zhou family monks, so that they could understand what the real Zhou family was like.
"Fuyun, you don't need to salute. It seems that I am also responsible for you to end up in this situation. It's because I didn't have time to fulfill my original promise to you!"
In the cave, Zhou Yang saw Zhou Fuyun, who looked like an old woman with gray hair, about to bend down to salute him. He quickly waved his sleeves and cast a spell to support her, with a hint of apology on his face.
In order to make Zhou Fuyun and Li Hong a Taoist couple, he had promised her that after her cultivation reached the ninth level of foundation building, she would be given priority to redeem the "Purple Heart Chalcedony".
It's a pity that when Zhou Fuyun's cultivation reached the ninth level of foundation building, he was still trapped in the "Sky Sky Wonderland", so this promise was broken.
That's why Zhou Fuyun forced her way through without the help of "Purple Heart Chalcedony", which resulted in injuries that were difficult to heal and ended up in this situation.
After he came over this time to understand the situation clearly, he did feel a little guilty about it.
"Ancestor, you don't have to blame yourself. The failure of the attack on the Zi Mansion is due to Yun'er's own bad luck. Without that blessing, I can't blame you, ancestor. Yun'er also knows that you have no choice but to have difficulties!"
Zhou Fuyun responded to Zhou Yang's words in a low voice, with a self-pitying tone that made Zhou Yang frown.
If it were other Zhou family children who dared to show such pessimism in front of him, he would definitely scold them.
But Zhou Fuyun was already miserable enough now. If he reprimanded her again, it would not only appear that he was inhumane, but he would also be afraid of causing greater harm to this woman whose confidence was shattered, so she could only endure it at the moment.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. Ancestor, I will not admit my mistakes. I can no longer help you with the matter of opening up Zi Mansion, but you
You can make a request to me that is not too excessive, and as long as it satisfies you, I can agree to it!"
Hearing his words, before Zhou Fuyun said anything, the other nine Zhou family foundation-building monks in the cave all looked at him with eyes filled with envy.
These monks have just learned about the relationship between Zhou Yang, a golden elixir monk, and their Zhou family. Some of them have not yet digested the shock of the news, but this does not prevent them from understanding what Zhou Yang's words mean.
What.
One of the ordinary-looking foundation-building monks in yellow had particularly eager eyes. He looked at Zhou Fuyun expectantly, his lips moved, and he seemed to hesitate to speak, which immediately attracted Zhou Yang's attention.
Seeing that this man's face was somewhat similar to Li Hong's, he immediately understood that this man must be the son of Zhou Fuyun and Li Hong.
Among the nine foundation-building monks of the Zhou family, Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong each have a son among them. Zhou Yang had already known this from their mouths before.
"Yun'er is deeply grateful for the great kindness of our ancestors. Please ask our ancestors to take Ze Qian back to the boundless sand sea to practice. In addition, when our ancestors return to the family, please take Yun'er with you. The fallen leaves will return to their roots. Yun'er will also
I want to be buried in the clan tomb on Chihu Mountain after my death!"
Zhou Fuyun's turbid eyes glanced at her son Zhou Zeqian, who was looking at him with an eager look on his face. She sighed in her heart, but she still couldn't bear to brush the child off and expressed her request.
Zhou Yang heard this and immediately agreed: "No problem, when I return to my family, my ancestor, I will take you mother and son away together, and set aside 100,000 family contribution points from my personal name for your son!"
Unless a monk in the foundation-building stage of the Zhou family can only enter and exit after the foundation-building is successful, the family contribution points left to his descendants before he dies will definitely not reach 100,000.
Zhou Zeqian may not understand what so many family contribution points mean, but Zhou Fuyun knows that Zhou Yang's compensation is enough to make his son's future cultivation path smooth. At least he doesn't have to worry about not having enough family contribution points in front of the Zi Mansion.
Problem.
"Ancestor has been so kind to me. Yun'er is extremely grateful. Ze Qian, please kowtow to my ancestor and express my gratitude."
She quickly asked her son to kowtow to Zhou Yang to thank him, and she also bent down and bowed deeply.
This time Zhou Yang did not refuse, and accepted the courtesy from their mother and son calmly, and then waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's talk about old things later. Now, ancestor, let me tell these younger generations about the true situation of the family today!
"
In the next two years, Zhou Yang stayed with the monks of the Zhou family in the limestone mountains. While waiting for the news of Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong's attack on Zi Mansion, he also took the opportunity to explain the cultivation methods to the nine Zhou family foundation-building monks.
Dao, explain the situation of the Zhou family in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, spread the influence of yourself and the Zhou family, and let these Zhou family monks understand where their roots are.
The foundation-building monks of the Zhou family in the far west were extremely surprised when they suddenly had a golden elixir-stage ancestor. When they learned that the Zhou family actually occupied a large oasis of spiritual mountains in the boundless sea of sand, they became
After becoming a minor overlord in the world of immortality, she felt infinite yearning for her.
There is a famous saying that people in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to enter the city.
This is the case for the monks of the Zhou family in the far west and the monks of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Boundless Sand Sea.
In the eyes of the Zhou family monks in the Far West, they only saw the freedom, power and wealth of the Zhou family monks in the boundless sea of sand cultivation world, which were things they could not get here in the Far West.
They couldn't imagine what a desirable life it would be for a foundation-building monk to occupy a third-level spiritual vein and an oasis, and to rule hundreds of thousands of mortals and dozens of Qi-training monks.
They couldn't imagine what an enviable life it would be for monks in the foundation-building stage to have an independent cave atop the fifth-level spiritual mountain.
They were fascinated by Zhou Yang's words about the generous treatment of the Zhou family's foundation-building monks, and they were extremely eager to become one of them and receive the kind of generous treatment that they could only dream of in the past.
And when they asked Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Jindan stage, Zhou Yang would always say gently: "Of course, no problem, you are all the children of my Zhou family, as long as you are the children of my Zhou family, you will
We will treat everyone equally and will never treat every clan member who is loyal to the family badly."
These foundation-building monks still believed in the words of the Golden Core Stage monks. There was absolutely no need for such existence to lie to them.
Therefore, with just a few words, Zhou Yang initially gained the favor of these Zhou family monks, and many of them were already looking forward to a beautiful new life in the future.
This is the prestige of those who hold power and power.
If it were a monk below the Golden Core stage, even if it were Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong, the two patriarchs and elders of the Zhou family in Cangyuan Immortal City, such words might be able to deceive the young clansmen who are not very experienced in the world and do not know the situation.
, but these foundation-building monks who knew the inside story of the family would only sneer at this, and would not believe the pie he drew at all.
However, when the person who painted the cake was replaced by Zhou Yang, a monk in the Golden Dan stage, these people believed it because they knew that Zhou Yang, who was also the painter, had the power to turn the cake into reality, and the two of them believed it.
It is impossible for the head of the family and the elders who rely on the "Netherworld Blood Contract" to force them to be loyal to the family have such strength.
This kind of thing is the same even if it is put into the ordinary world. When a big event happens somewhere and the people are in panic, even if ordinary people know the truth and tell these people, not many people will believe it or even directly accuse them.
He spread rumors.
But if it were the parent official who had local power to speak, even if what he said was completely contrary to the truth, I believe his people would be far greater than the person who told the truth.
This is the power of authority!
Of course, drawing people's hearts can only temporarily win people's hearts. If you want to be truly convincing and loyal, you have to turn the cakes into reality and let people really taste the sweetness and deliciousness of the meat cakes.
Zhou Yang is quite confident that he can accomplish this.
There are not many monks from the Zhou family here in the Far West, and even if they are treated according to the treatment given to the monks from the Zhou family in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World, he can still afford it.
After waiting like this for more than two years, Zhou Yang finally received news about Zhou Tongyue and Li Hong.
The result made him half happy and half sad. What he was happy about was that Li Hong successfully opened the Zifu and was promoted to a monk in the Zifu period, thus extending his lifespan again.
What is worrying is that Zhou Tongyue failed to open the Zifu and suffered internal injuries. It will take a long time to rest and recover, and he may not be able to fully recover until the end of his life.
So after receiving the news, he could only ask Zhou Tongyue's son to take the healing elixir to "Jiuding City" to take care of his father, and let Li Hong come back to prepare for the Zhou family's migration back to Cangyuan Immortal City.
After Li Hong, who was promoted to the Zifu, returned to the Gray Rock Mountains, Zhou Yang directly called him to the cave and told him his arrangement.
"It is inevitable that something will go wrong. You will disperse and migrate back to Yu State on the grounds that you cannot bear the harsh conditions of the big families in Dayun State. After you arrive in Yu State, I, my ancestor, will take you with you in the name of avenging the Li family.
Li Mubai goes to Cangyuan Immortal City to kill Geng Zhong, and will eradicate his accomplices based on the list you provided, paving the way for you to return to Cangyuan Immortal City."
"After that, Ancestor, I can no longer show up. You can only handle everything by yourselves. The last help I can give you, Ancestor, is to let Guangxiang exchange a fourth-level puppet** for you at an underground exchange meeting.
, I will leave you ten more foundation-building pills!"
It's not that Zhou Yang doesn't want to leave more trump cards for Li Hong, but with the Zhou family's previous background, if he takes out too many high-level treasures at once, it will make people doubt the relationship between the Zhou family and him, and bring disaster to him.
What's more, the help he gave to the Zhou family this time was already great enough. Two copies of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" and a fourth-level puppet beast, plus ten foundation-building pills, added up to almost 700,000 to 800,000 low-grade spirits.
stone.
In addition, he personally killed Geng Zhong and disrupted the situation in Cangyuan Immortal City. These were not without cost.
Li Hong is a smart man. Smart people know how to advance and retreat, and are sensible.
For him, the help Zhou Yang provided this time was something he had never dared to think about before, so he had no idea of bargaining with Zhou Yang at all. He would agree to whatever Zhou Yang said, at most.
Give some suggestions of your own regarding some details.
After several days of discussion like this, Zhou Yang left Dayun Country and went to the Panshi Wasteland to meet up with Zhou Guangxiang and his wife who were still hiding there, and by the way contact Zhou Guangxiang and others who should have returned from their travels.
Li Hong quickly followed his arrangement and refused the solicitation from those families in the Dayun Kingdom on the grounds that he was promoted to the Zifu Stage, and arranged for the monks of the Zhou family to withdraw from the Dayun Kingdom one after another.
After Li Hong was promoted to the Zi Mansion, the Zhou family was no longer the kind of soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated. Although the families in the Dayun Kingdom were a little angry at Li Hong's lack of appreciation, they did not want to really attack them because of this.
After confirming that they were ready to leave Dayun Country, they left them alone.
Zhou Guangxiang and his wife, who were far away in the rocky wasteland, had always followed Zhou Yang's instructions and did not try to go out to inquire about any outside information.
Even now, they still don't know the news that the Li family was exterminated by Geng Zhong.
It wasn't until Zhou Yang came back and told the story of his trip, and also mentioned the genocide of the Li family, that these people realized that so many big things had happened outside in the past few years.
"Old thief Geng Zhong, I, Li Mubai, will fight with you until death!"
On the wasteland, after Li Mubai learned about the tragic situation of the Li family being wiped out, his vision went dark and he almost fainted. When he came to his senses, he looked at Cangyuan Immortal City with splitting eyes and howled angrily.
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Yang quickly winked at Zhou Guangxiang to signal her to appease his Taoist companion.
After Li Mubai calmed down under the comfort of Zhou Guangxiang and his two children, Zhou Yang looked at him and said: "Your Li family has been implicated by me in this matter. People can't be resurrected after death, and Zhou can't do anything more. I can only kill him for you."
Geng Zhong, kill his accomplices to comfort the spirits of those who have fallen from your Li family!"
"Guang Xiang has told me about the past these days. Uncle Jiu, you are right. What is wrong is that old thief Guo Jinhong, and what is wrong is that ungrateful beast Geng Zhong!"
Li Mubai opened a pair of blood-red eyes and looked back at Zhou Yang. He shook his head first and did not entirely blame Zhou Yang for the destruction of the Li family. Then he gritted his teeth and roared with a ferocious face: "There is only one junior now.
Please, when Uncle Jiu goes to kill Geng Zhong, please take this junior with you. I will kill this ungrateful beast with my own hands, and kill all the monks in their Geng family with my own hands!"
The hatred of genocide is irreconcilable!
Li Mubai's normal personality may be a bit cowardly, but after learning the bad news that the entire Li family was wiped out, he only wanted revenge, and all he could think about was "revenge."
Although Zhou Yang had expected this scene for a long time, seeing him like this now, he felt ashamed in his heart.
He had some responsibility for the destruction of the Li family, but the responsibility was not big, because as Li Mubai said, it was entirely Guo Jinhong's responsibility to anger the Li family. Zhou Yang actually did not use any power from the Li family to avoid the "Counter Light Alliance"
"wanted.
On the contrary, after rescuing Li Mubai and leaving Cangyuan Immortal City, he also asked Li Mubai to summon him and reminded the Li family to be careful that Guo Jinhong vented his anger on them. It was because they themselves did not take his warning seriously.
But using Li Mubai's hatred for Geng Zhong to help the Zhou family return to Cangyuan Immortal City was a bit unethical for Zhou Yang.
He felt guilty and wanted to make some compensation, so he immediately said: "After you have taken revenge, Mu Bai, please come back to the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea with us. Although the Li family was destroyed, you are still there.
As for your son and daughter, when you reach the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea, I will set aside a spiritual mountain for you and let you rebuild the Li family there!"
"Thank you Uncle Jiu, but I'm not in the mood to think about this now. Let's wait until I complete my revenge."
Li Mubai thanked him casually but didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yang's words.
He has been blinded by hatred. Before revenge, nothing can concern him.
After Zhou Yang understood this, he didn't say anything more. He just asked him to wait for some more time until the Zhou family successfully migrated back to the Yu Kingdom and received news before he took action.
Not long after this, Zhou Guangxiang received his message first and found the Panshi Wasteland.
Zhou Yang immediately gave him a fourth-level middle-grade puppet and asked him to wait in a certain fairy city in the Yu Kingdom. After Li Hong brought the Zhou family monks into the Yu Kingdom, he would enter the fairy city to participate in an underground battle with him.
Go to the exchange meeting, and then exchange the puppet** to Li Hong's hands.
As for why it is a fourth-order mid-grade puppet beast instead of a fourth-order high-grade puppet beast, of course it is because the fourth-order high-grade puppet beast needs high-grade spiritual stones to activate it, and with the Zhou family's background, it is unlikely that they can exchange for this kind of puppet beast.
Treasure of spiritual things.
A few months later, the monks of the Zhou family entered the Yu Kingdom. After Zhou Guangxiang and Li Hong completed the transfer of things and sent the news, Zhou Yang, who had been waiting patiently for the news, immediately went to Cangyuan Immortal City with Li Mubai, who had been impatient for a long time.
.
He and Li Mubai first restrained their cultivation, changed their appearance, and sneaked into Cangyuan Immortal City. After arriving outside the city lord's palace, they suddenly revealed their cultivation and attacked and killed the guards outside the city lord's palace.
By the time Geng Zhong, who was practicing, noticed something was wrong and activated the formation of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yang was already inside the City Lord's Mansion.
In the past, Geng Zhong felt that with the help of the formations from the City Lord's Mansion, he would not be afraid even if the late-stage Jindan monks came.
But after he played against Zhou Yang, he suddenly felt like he had been cheated.
Zhou Yang pursued a quick victory this time and had no intention of holding back.
He first sacrificed the fifth-level tiger puppet beast recovered from Zhou Guangxiang's hand, and then sacrificed several magical weapons such as "Lion Fire Ruyi", "Taiyin Zanpakutō", "Shaking Gong", etc., together with
His natal magic weapon "Qianyang Golden Pagoda" pressed towards Geng Zhong.
Later, he even sacrificed the seventh-level fairy weapon "Qian Yang Baozhu" and released the enhanced version of "Qian Yang True Fire" to set fires everywhere in the city lord's palace.
As a result, under his fierce attack this time, the city lord's palace formation could not hold up at first, and he blasted it to pieces!
After losing the support of the formation, Geng Zhong, who was on the third level of the golden elixir, had not been able to move for three rounds in Zhou Yang's hands before he was taken into the tower using the "Nirvana Soul-Burning Divine Light" combined with his natal magic weapon "Qianyang Golden Tower".
Suppressed.
At this time, less than a quarter of an hour had passed since he rose up and took action until Geng Zhong was captured and suppressed. The other minions of Geng Zhong in the city had just gathered their forces and rushed here to look for the savior.
This saved Zhou Yang from having to exterminate his family one by one. Dang even released the sixteen "Dayan Divine Light Swords" that had not been used for a long time, and easily strangled these most loyal accomplices of Geng Zhong.
His spiritual consciousness is powerful, and he has already memorized the list of Geng Zhong's accomplices drawn by Li Hong and Li Mubai for him. At this time, his spiritual consciousness covers most of Cangyuan Immortal City. As long as he sees the people on the list and portraits, he will be taken away by flying swords.
That man's head.
While Zhou Yang was killing Geng Zhong's accomplices who were in the Purple Mansion period or on the ninth floor of the Foundation, Li Mubai entered the Geng family's manor in the city with hatred in his heart.
The formation of the manor has been broken by Zhou Yang for him, and the strong men of the Geng family inside have also been killed by Zhou Yang. His cultivation level on the sixth floor of Zifu is completely enough to crush the Geng family, which has the highest cultivation level in the manor but is in the late stage of foundation building.
monk.
The bloody killing lasted for half an hour before it ended.
When Li Mubai walked out of the manor covered in blood, there was no living cultivator inside, only headless corpses on the ground!
Li Mubai specially prepared a storage ring to hold the heads of the corpses. He would follow the example of Geng Zhong treating the Li family monks in a blood-for-blood manner, and use the heads of all the Geng family monks to build a temple outside Cangyuan Immortal City.
Pay homage to those members of the Li family who died in vain.
