Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Six: Family Comes
In the dense forest, a second-level high-grade monster [Qingyun Deer] screamed "Yo yo" and ran desperately between the trees.
And a hundred feet above the dense forest, a young monk in yellow robes, wearing a light yellow robe, stepped on a pale golden flying sword in an extremely elegant manner and chased the [Qingyun Deer] below.
Being able to fly with a sword shows that this young monk in yellow has a foundation-building level of cultivation. With such a level of cultivation, if he really wanted to kill a second-level high-grade monster, it would be impossible for him to escape.
So it is obvious that the young monk in yellow does not want to kill the [Qingyun Deer].
But judging from the fact that he didn't use any magic weapon to attack [Qingyun Deer], it seemed that he didn't want to capture this monster alive.
In this way, its real intention of chasing [Qingyun Deer] is somewhat intriguing.
The young monk in yellow is named Huang Yuanji, and he is the elder of the Huang family, a cultivating family in Anguo. The Huang family is a large family with two monks from the Zifu period. After Anguo returned to the "Six Paths Alliance", the Huang family also took advantage of the situation and switched to the "Six Paths Alliance".
"Six Paths Alliance" has become a vassal of Qingyun Valley, a medium-sized sect within the "Six Paths Alliance".
A few months ago, an order came from Qingyun Valley, asking the Huang family and other vassal cultivating families in Anguo to send middle and low-level monks to Chongxuan Mountain to hunt and collect herbs.
That's right, that's what the decree says. Huang Yuanji also saw the edict personally signed by the golden elixir monk from Qingyun Valley, so he is sure of it.
But Huang Yuanji and those in power in the Huang family all knew that the deeper meaning of this metaphor was certainly not as simple as it seemed.
Chongxuan Mountain is an enclave of the Yuqing Taoist Sect. The monks from the "Six Paths Alliance" suddenly broke into it to hunt monsters and collect elixirs. It is an exaggeration to call it an invasion, but the charge of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" is definitely enough.
Whether this crime is serious or minor, how to deal with it depends on the methods of the "Qingyun Sanren" on Chongxuan Mountain.
Huang Yuanji didn't know what Qingyun Valley wanted to do by issuing this decree, but before he came, the family patriarch and the Supreme Elder personally called him to talk to him and told him not to think too much and concentrate on following the instructions in the decree.
Just ask and do it.
Therefore, after he arrived at Chongxuan Mountain, he would lead some family Qi-training monks into the forest affiliated to Chongxuan Mountain every few days to hunt and collect herbs, and also deliberately set fires to make some big noise, so that Chongxuan in the distance could
The monks on the mountain can see it.
When he first did this kind of thing, Huang Yuanji was very worried. He was afraid that the "Qingyun Sanren" on Chongxuan Mountain would kill him with a sword light from a hundred miles away when he saw this situation.
But as he did more of this kind of thing, without seeing any movement on Chongxuan Mountain, he seemed to realize something, became more confident, and acted more aggressively.
After discovering this [Qingyun Deer] today, he was moved in his heart and did not kill it immediately. Instead, he deliberately drove the monster towards Chongxuan Mountain.
He was going to do something more exciting, so he killed the [Qingyun Deer] at the foot of Chongxuan Mountain to see if the monks on the mountain would still pretend to be blind.
Although it is very dangerous to do so, Huang Yuanji feels that taking an appropriate risk may not be bad for him.
He knew that what was happening around Chongxuan Mountain at this time must have been seen by some beings.
And if Huang Yuanji can perform brilliantly in this world and catch the eyes of some beings, there will definitely be great benefits in the future.
In the distance, Chongxuan Mountain is already in sight. In a quarter of an hour at most, [Qingyun Deer] will be able to run to the foot of the mountain. The highlight of his life is about to come.
Huang Yuanji couldn't help but show a hint of pride in his eyes when he thought of his plan.
He is naturally courageous and dares to do things that most people don't dare to do. It is precisely because of his success in taking risks and gambling in the past few decades that he can go from an ordinary member of the Huang family to the foundation-building monk he is today.
This time, he will make another big gamble. If he wins, he may not have the opportunity to open up the Zi Mansion and become the head of the Huang family.
However, as the saying goes: if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet.
Just when Huang Yuanji chased [Qingyun Deer] and rushed to the foot of Chongxuan Mountain, and was about to take action, six sword rays suddenly came down from the cloud-shrouded Chongxuan Mountain.
not good!
When Huang Yuanji saw this scene, his complexion changed drastically and he quickly made a secret gesture to use the flying sword under his feet to turn around and run away.
But as soon as he turned the corner, several powerful third-level spells struck him from thousands of feet away.
With such a distance, the spell has already exceeded the guidance range of the foundation-building monks' spiritual consciousness, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all.
But I couldn't help but have so many spells thrown at Huang Yuanji!
The sword light under his feet was flying diagonally in the air, avoiding 80% to 90% of spells, but in the end he was hit by a firebird, knocking him to the ground.
Protected by defensive weapons and protective spells, Huang Yuanji did not suffer any injuries from the firebird attack.
However, his flight with the sword was interrupted, and he was quickly locked by the consciousness of six monks of the same level who were chasing him from behind. If he ran away blindly at this time, he would be attacked by six people at the same time.
Although Huang Yuanji was in the middle stage of foundation building, he had no confidence that he would be able to escape safely from the concentrated fire attacks of six monks of the same level.
So he simply stopped, raised his hand and patted the storage bag, took out a third-level defense talisman to activate a new layer of protection on himself, and at the same time levitated the pale golden flying sword above his head, and made an attack
state.
Then his face turned cold, he looked coldly at the monk standing on the six flying swords in the sky and shouted sternly: "I am Huang Yuanji, the elder of the Huang family in Qingye Ridge, Anguo. I wonder why some Taoist friends suddenly attacked Huang? I
The Huang family is a formal member of the [Six Paths Alliance], if several fellow Taoists do not give Huang a reasonable explanation today, Huang and the Huang family will definitely not let this matter go by easily!"
His tone was extremely forceful, as if he was the one taking control, completely forgetting that he was now in the territory of the Yuqing Taoist Sect.
"Explanation? Where you are now is our explanation for attacking you!"
On the flying sword, Wang Yanzhang looked at Huang Yuanji with a gloomy face, waved his hand, and shouted: "Let's take action together and capture this person to scare the monkeys. Let's see if those guys dare to act recklessly in my territory of Chongxuan Mountain again!"
Since the first person who expressed his willingness to die for Chongxuan Mountain a few days ago, Wang Yanzhang was appointed by Zhou Yang to be the leader of several foundation-building monks on the mountain, allowing all the registered disciples on the mountain to follow his orders uniformly after coming down from the mountain.
So after hearing what he said, the other five people, including Zhou Ronghua and several other Zhou family monks, without saying a word, used the fine magic weapons given to them by Zhou Yang to hit Huang Yuanji.
"Stop! Stop it! Huang admits defeat!"
Huang Yuanji was able to stand out from the ordinary members of the Huang family and become a monk in the foundation-building stage. He was also a person who had experienced battles. If there were only two or three enemies, he would still dare to fight. He could face six people of the same level with sophisticated magical weapons at the same time.
Monk, he didn't have any confidence at all, so he gave in.
But his words received no response.
Wang Yanzhang was determined to use him to scare the monkeys, and had no intention of sparing his life.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Huang Yuanji was cut into pieces with swords on the spot, leaving only one head deliberately left behind.
"Wang Wang took the human head and went out to warn the intruders. According to the established plan, all the brothers and sisters started to work in pairs to clear out the remaining intruders in the forest. If you encounter a ruthless character, you can immediately send a signal to call for support.
"
In mid-air, Wang Yanzhang stretched out his hand, and Huang Yuanji's head and storage bag were caught in his hands. Then he casually hung the storage bag on his waist, and then looked at the other people with a serious face and issued subsequent orders.
"I'll wait for the order."
Zhou Ronghua and several other monks looked at each other and bowed to Wang Yanzhang. Then, the two of them found a direction and flew away with their swords. Only Wang Yanzhang and Zhou Shengying remained where they were.
Seeing this, Wang Yanzhang nodded slightly, and then greeted Zhou Shengying: "Junior sister Zhou, let's go too."
After saying that, the sword light under his feet moved, and he flew towards the border of Chongxuan Mountain's territory with his sword.
Huang Yuanji's fall and the action of rushing to Xuanshan quickly spread throughout Anguo's various forces.
Immediately afterwards, the head of the Huang family in Qingye Ridge used the death of the family elder as an excuse to formally submit a letter to the Qingyun Valley behind him, requesting the "Six Paths Alliance" to uphold justice for his fallen elder and severely punish the murderer.
After receiving the petition, Li Boyang, a golden elixir monk from Qingyuan Valley, immediately rushed outside Chongxuan Mountain in person and asked to meet "Qingyun Sanren" and ask "Qingyun Sanren" to hand over several murderers.
Naturally, this request was rejected without hesitation.
And Li Boyang seemed to have expected to be rejected, so he immediately issued an ultimatum. If "Qingyun Sanren" did not give a satisfactory explanation on this matter, the "Six Paths Alliance" would definitely mobilize its army to get a refund for the fallen Huang Yuanji.
justice.
Faced with such words that were close to a declaration of war, "Qingyun Sanren" was not afraid at all. Instead, he made a strong statement in front of Li Boyang, and from now on, he declared the area within a thousand miles of Xuanshan Mountain as a forbidden area, and any non-"Xuanqing Taoist Alliance"
The monks who dare to step even half a step into it will do so at their own risk.
What also surprised and angered Li Boyang was that after this tough statement, the "Qingyun Sanren" personally took action to expel him.
A battle between the Golden Core Stage monks soon broke out outside Chongxuan Mountain.
However, what is shocking is that facing the "Qingyun Sanren" who only has the fourth level of Jindan cultivation, Li Boyang, whose cultivation level is two levels higher than him, was defeated, and he was defeated very quickly. The whole process was less than
A quarter of an hour.
Although Li Boyang claimed afterwards that he was just not ready, if he had to do it over again, he would never lose so easily.
But people only heard him say this, but did not see him going to Chongxuan Mountain to find another "Qingyun Sanren" for another battle.
There is a saying that goes well, don't just listen to what he says, watch what he does.
Li Boyang's behavior of only talking but not doing has made them understand a lot of things in the eyes of truly knowledgeable people.
Ever since, the situation suddenly and strangely calmed down.
Li Boyang, who threatened to mobilize a large army to attack Chongxuan Mountain, never showed up again, and not a single person was seen in his so-called large army.
It seems that this storm has just passed.
But are things really that simple?
Zhou Yang doesn't think so.
He took action to drive away Li Boyang to show his strength and tell those who wanted to attack Xuanshan that he was by no means the kind of soft persimmon who could be manipulated at will.
Instructing Wang Yanzhang and other disciples to kill the "Six Paths Alliance" monks who broke into the territory of Chongxuan Mountain was an expression of his determination not to give in an inch of territory.
He dared to kill the monks of the "Six Paths Alliance" and was not afraid of revenge.
This signal was enough to frighten those behind the scenes who sent people to test for a period of time.
Before the people behind the scenes figure out his confidence, the temptation to Chong Xuanshan will definitely stop.
However, Zhou Yang knew that once the people behind the scenes figured out that he was bluffing, the army of the "Six Paths Alliance" would definitely rush to the foot of Xuan Mountain.
Therefore, he must turn the imaginary into reality during this period of time and truly find a backing that will make the enemy afraid to act rashly.
This backer can only be Xuanyang Immortal Sect and Qingyang Master.
Therefore, after the battle with Li Boyang, Zhou Yang waited until he confirmed that the enemy had been frightened by him, and then told his disciples to continue patrolling the territory every day to frighten the enemy, while quietly leaving Chongxuan Mountain and rushed to Xianyang City in person to seek help.
It is a coincidence that when Zhou Yang arrived in Xianyang City, Zhou Guangxiang had just arrived in Xianyang City a few days ago with a Zifu monk from Huangshamen, and was getting familiar with the situation and preparing to find someone to contact him.
So he could only suppress the idea of finding Master Qingyang for the time being, and temporarily asked Xuanyang Pavilion for a vacant cave to entertain these family members.
"There are six family members who are here with my nephew this time, three foundation-building monks and three Qi-training monks. If Uncle Jiu is still short of people, these people can be dispatched by you."
"In addition, my nephew also brought two million low-grade spiritual stones and some specialties of Boundless Sand Sea this time. Uncle Jiu can also leave them to you for disposal if you need them."
In the cave, after Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Yang sat down, they took the initiative to tell the story of their coming here without Zhou Yang asking.
Although it was his first time to come to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent, Wu Nanli, a monk from the Zifu period of Huangshamen who was traveling with him, was an old horse who knew his way around and had been here twice before, so it was impossible for him to get lost.
With the help of Zhou Yang's "Huan Yun Zhou" who stayed in the family, and the standard "Hidden Spirit Incense" to cover his aura, they could be said to have had no surprises along the way, and they arrived at Liuyun Continent smoothly.
Fairyland.
And with the meeting with Zhou Yang in mind, Zhou Guangxiang was not in a hurry to travel to other places and came directly to Xianyang City.
At this time, after hearing Zhou Guangxiang's words, Zhou Yang pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "I'm not busy with this matter. Please tell me about the situation of the family first. In the past twenty years since I have been away, there has been no problem with the family."
What's the matter?"
"Uncle Ninth, you are worrying too much. With the foundation you left behind, our Zhou family is now cultivating immortality in the boundless sea of sand. We basically have no opponents, so how could anything happen?"
"If anything, it's that since you asked the family to disclose information about the Immortal Cultivation World in the Far West and Liuyun Continent, the middle-level monks in the family have always been clamoring to come to Liuyun Continent to help the Immortal Cultivation World.
you."
"Hehehe, they talk nice, but you and I both know that these guys just heard about the prosperity here and want to come here to seek further opportunities."
Zhou Guangxiang smiled and shook his head. He casually talked about the Zhou family's situation over the years, selected some important things, and said nothing more.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang didn't pay much attention to these official matters. Instead, after listening to his words, he suddenly asked: "How are Guangxiang and his wife?"
When Zhou Guangxiang heard him ask about this, he immediately grinned and said: "Of course, according to Uncle Jiu's original instructions, we allocated a medium-sized oasis to my sister and brother-in-law's family as the foundation for the brother-in-law to rebuild the Li family. Now the two brothers-in-law
All the children are married and have children, and my sister gave birth to a second son eight years ago."
Zhou Yang felt a little depressed when he heard this.
Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai are also high-level monks, but they have already given birth to two sons and one daughter, and they are both monks with spiritual roots.
And since he and Xiao Ying officially started dual cultivation, they haven't even seen half of their children for so many years, which really makes him a little depressed.
It is easy to understand that monks in the Nascent Soul stage have difficulty in giving birth. After all, that kind of existence is already called a "half-immortal", and the body begins to transform into an "immortal body".
But the golden elixir stage monks are not included in this category.
Although the fertility rate of golden elixir stage monks is much lower than that of ordinary mortals and middle- and low-level monks due to their cultivation, it seems to be rare for Zhou Yang to not have a child in more than ten years.
Sometimes Zhou Yang even doubts whether the exercises he practices have restrictions on fertility, or whether the "Qian Yang Treasure Body" limits his fertility.
However, after carefully checking the "Qian Yang Immortal Sutra", he did not find any introduction to this aspect, and after searching various aspects of the "Qian Yang Treasure Body", he did not find any record of this aspect.
All in all, this incident was indeed a bad thing that made him quite depressed.
However, it was not easy to talk about such private matters with a junior like Zhou Guangxiang. He could only suppress the depression in his heart, nodded with a smile and said: "As long as you live well, Uncle Jiu will be relieved if you live well."
After speaking, he raised his hand, took out dozens of bottles of elixirs, and placed them in front of him.
"There are one hundred and fifty foundation-building pills here, as well as five bottles of fourth-level elixirs that can improve monks in the Purple Mansion Stage, and twenty-three bottles of third-level elixirs with different functions. They are all refined by your ninth aunt over the years.
, you put it away first."
As expected by Zhou Yang, when he heard the words "One hundred and fifty Foundation Establishment Pills", Zhou Guangxiang's eyes widened immediately and he looked at him with a face full of shock. He didn't say a word for a long time.
As the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Guangxiang is not someone who has never seen the world. For example, he currently carries more than two million low-grade spiritual stones, which is worth hundreds of foundation-building pills.
But for a clan leader like him, spiritual stones are far from being comparable to strategic materials such as foundation-building pills.
If possible, even if he was only given eighty foundation-building pills, he would be willing to spend all the spiritual stones on his body.
"This, this, this..."
Zhou Guangxiang looked at the pile of pill bottles in front of him with his mouth wide open. After a long time, he sighed with a complex expression: "This is so precious! Uncle Jiu, please give such a precious thing to your nephew. He will return to the family
Before, I was afraid that I wouldn’t even dare to sleep!”
He couldn't even imagine how much trouble it would cause if someone knew that he, a seventh-level cultivator from the Purple Mansion, actually carried one hundred and fifty Foundation Establishment Pills.
"Why can't you sleep? You know this and I know it. No other person knows about it, so you can just put it away safely."
Zhou Yang shook his head, not caring about his nephew's worries.
He actually understood what Zhou Guangxiang meant, but he really couldn't leave now.
"My nephew understands. Please ask Uncle Nine to thank Aunt Nine on behalf of my nephew and the Zhou family."
After Zhou Guangxiang was silent for a while, he finally nodded, put away all the pill bottles with a wave of his hand, and then bowed deeply to Zhou Yang to express his gratitude.
Zhou Yang accepted this gift generously, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, Uncle Jiu, I have something to do and I have to go to Xuanyang Immortal Sect. I will give you this cave for the time being until I come back."
Later, I will discuss with you the matter of those clansmen staying in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent."
What happened at Chongxuan Mountain at this time had already been informed by Zhou Yang to the Xuanyang Immortal Sect through the communication circle. He had also notified Xuanyang Immortal Sect in advance of coming to see Master Qingyang in person.
Therefore, when he arrived at Xuanyang Immortal Sect, Master Qingyang had already left seclusion and met him in his "Qingyang Cave".
What Zhou Yang didn't expect was that as soon as he met Master Qingyang, he told him a piece of news that shocked him on the spot.
"Senior Brother Lu passed away a year ago!"
This short sentence instantly helped Zhou Yang solve the mystery of the "Six Paths Alliance" suddenly launching a test against Xuanshan.
At the same time, it also made him realize that his plan for this trip might not be so easy to achieve.
