Master Xuan Jian, a Nascent Soul Stage monk from the [Six Paths Alliance], finally did not dare to fight to the end and chose to compromise.
He couldn't help but not compromise.
They had already lost four golden elixir monks on the Suyun Sect battlefield, as well as a ninth-level golden elixir monk and a seventh-level golden elixir monk whose lives were decided by his words.
Not to mention that there are still many Purple Mansion monks and Foundation Establishment monks from the [Six Paths Alliance] on the battlefield who have no time to escape. If he continues to be stubborn, it may be difficult for these people to escape safely in the end.
The most important thing is that if he does not choose to compromise, Zhou Yang and the "Kan Dispersed" and other Jindan monks can immediately leave to support the Qiantian Sect's battlefield.
With the speed of a Golden Core Stage monk, even if he sends a message to the [Six Paths Alliance] monks over there to retreat, it will be too late.
The final result of this will be that for the [Six Paths Alliance] monks who entered the territory of Chang Kingdom, except for those Jindan monks who are still alive and can escape, most of the other monks will leave their lives here.
And this result is something Master Xuanjian never wants to see.
You must know that there are as many as tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment monks and Zifu monks!
The resources consumed to train these monks are much more than the 200 million spirit stone war compensation demanded by Master Yulong.
Of course, for such a large amount of spiritual stones, the [Six Paths Alliance] will definitely not pay for all of it with spiritual stones. It is very likely that part of it will be converted into spiritual mountains and mineral veins to pay for it later.
This was also a compensation plan commonly used by both sides in previous wars.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yang’s Chongxuan Mountain was also specifically mentioned by Master Yulong, making it clear that it was the territory of the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] and was not within the scope of the so-called compensation.
After the two Nascent Soul stage monks reached an agreement, the two [Six Paths Alliance] Jindan monks who were surrounded by Zhou Yang and others were lucky enough to save a life and hurriedly took the remaining monks of the [Six Paths Alliance] on the battlefield. He left the battlefield and retreated directly to Anguo, north of Changguo, for preparations.
At this point, the war on the Chang Kingdom side is completely over, and the surviving monks of the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] can return to their respective families to carry out post-war reconstruction work.
Their original mountain gate may have been destroyed by the war, but as long as Lingshan is still there, it won't take much effort to rebuild it, and most of the 200 million Lingshi war compensation will be used to fund their reconstruction work.
But this does not include Zhou Yang.
His Chongxuan Mountain has been turned into ruins, and the mountain-protecting formation has been destroyed. Rebuilding it is not something he can do now. He can only wait until the war is completely over and ask the Yuqing Taoist Sect to send people to help rebuild. Mountain protection formation.
Moreover, as Jindan monks, they have no time to rest until the entire war between the [Xuanqing Dao Alliance] and the [Six Paths Alliance] is completely over.
As soon as the war in the Chang Kingdom ended here, the tasks from the top leaders of the Tao Alliance were handed down to the various Jindan monks through Zhenren Yulong.
Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying received different tasks this time.
Among them, Xiao Ying was transferred to a safe fairy city behind the battlefield, specializing in treating the wounded who had retreated from the frontline battlefield. This job was very safe, and Zhou Yang did not object.
On the contrary, the mission he received was extremely dangerous.
Strictly speaking, this is not a Dao Alliance mission in the ordinary sense, but the price he paid for accepting Chongxuan Mountain in the first place.
His mission is to sneak into the territory of the Six Paths Alliance and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the traitor Wang Botong who had betrayed the enemy on the battlefield.
This mission is not ordinary dangerous.
As a person who made "great contributions" to the [Six Paths Alliance] in this war, Wang Botong must be under strict protection now.
Otherwise, if he is easily assassinated by people from [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance], who will dare to follow his example in the future?
If Master Yulong and Zhou Yang had not promised, the Nascent Soul Stage monk would never protect Wang Botong. He would rather return Chongxuan Mountain than dare to accept this task.
Of course, the riskier the task, the greater the reward.
As long as he completes this task and kills the traitor Wang Botong, Chongxuan Mountain will be completely owned by him.
This means that in the future, Xuanyang Immortal Sect or Yuqing Dao Sect can no longer take back Chongxuan Mountain and ask him to compensate for the corresponding losses in the name of him not performing his mission. He will be free again and can freely choose to do what he wants to do.
thing.
This alone was worth the risk.
What's more, in order to increase his success rate, Master Yulong also privately sponsored him a "Jade Pure Immortal Urn" as a life-saving thing, as well as a special talisman that can disrupt the "Yuanguang Retrospection" magical power of the monks in the Nascent Soul stage.
The "Jade Pure Immortal Urn" can help monks resolve a fatal attack, and it is the most powerful life-saving object. Zhou Yang was able to survive in the [Qiongtian Fairyland] thanks to the protection of this object.
If he had this thing with him, he could go to assassinate Wang Botong, and even if the opponent brought out a treasure like the "Xuanyang Zixiao Divine Thunder" jade talisman, he would still be able to avoid the disaster unscathed.
So next, Zhou Yangming ostensibly escorted Taoist companion Xiao Ying and a group of disciples to a certain fairy city in the rear to recuperate, but in fact, after arriving at that fairy city, he quietly left and went to the heart of the [Six Paths Alliance].
In order to deceive others, he even left two fifth-level spiritual birds, the golden-winged thunder eagle and the colorful peacock, outside the cave of the fairy city, and sneaked into the depths of the enemy's territory alone.
According to the news from inside sources, Wang Botong was transferred to the heart of the [Six Paths Alliance] shortly after he betrayed and surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield of Qian Tianzong.
It was also at this time that the [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] learned the real reason for its collaboration with the enemy and betrayal.
It turns out that Wang Botong had actually met a female cultivator from the Zifu period in the "Ten Thousand Flowers Valley", the top sect in the "Six Paths Alliance" during a trip, and became a Taoist couple with her.
The female cultivator from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was later able to successfully form an elixir because Wang Botong agreed to become an internal agent during the war, and was rewarded with many spiritual objects by the top management of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley to help her form an elixir.
After Wang Botong defected to the enemy in front of the battlefield and betrayed him, he was sent to the territory of Wanhua Valley to meet his Taoist companions.
Because Wanhua Valley is a purely female cultivator's sect, no male cultivator is allowed to stay in the mountain gate for a long time, so Wang Botong and his Taoist monks lived outside on Cuiyun Mountain, a fifth-level spiritual mountain with beautiful scenery.
In addition to the two of them, there is also an elder from Wanhua Valley who has cultivated in the late Jindan stage for a long time. Whether there is anyone else protecting him secretly is not known by insiders.
But even these apparent strengths were enough to make Zhou Yang frown.
The Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is also a large sect with two Nascent Soul stage monks. The fifth-level spiritual mountain where Wang Botong is located is located in the heart of the sect. It is very likely that there is a teleportation array connected to the gate of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.
If this is the case, as long as the teleportation array is not destroyed, the monks from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley can directly support them through the teleportation array.
At that time, not to mention one Zhou Yang, even ten Zhou Yang could not make any waves.
"A frontal attack is definitely not possible. Even if Wang Botong does not have the extra monks sent by the [Six Paths Alliance] to protect him, he must still have the self-defense treasures that the [Six Paths Alliance] rewarded him after his betrayal, and there is also the late Jindan from Wanhua Valley.
The monk is stationed in Cuiyun Mountain, and even if I can find a way to sneak into it, I may not be able to kill him face to face, let alone kill him and then escape from Cuiyun Mountain with the mountain protection formation opened."
"Then if you want to complete the mission, you can only rely on outsmarting them."
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, and he quickly used the method taught by Master Yulong to contact the insider of the [Xuanqing Immortal Alliance] in the Wanhua Valley, and through him he found the late-stage Jindan cultivator of the Wanhua Valley on Cuiyun Mountain.
information, as well as information about Wang Botong and his Taoist companions.
If he wants to outsmart Wang Botong, he must first understand what kind of person Wang Botong is, what kind of people his Taoist companions and the people around him are like, and then make a plan based on the situation.
Information about Wang Botong is easy to obtain. There are many people in the Xuanqing Taoist Alliance who have known him for hundreds of years. Through those people, we can fully understand the general outline of his life.
However, the information about his Taoist companion and the late-stage Jindan cultivator from the Wanhua Valley on Cuiyun Mountain was somewhat difficult to obtain. Zhou Yang waited for nearly three months before obtaining a relatively detailed information.
After researching several pieces of information and planning and weighing it for several days, he finally came up with a solution that seemed feasible.
The method is very simple, that is, first make the tiger leave the mountain, and then change the situation.
To lure the tiger away from the mountain, we must first lure out the late-stage Jindan cultivator from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley on Cuiyun Mountain.
Zhou Yang then disguised himself in his own appearance, carried out the strategy of stealing the sky and changing the sun, and returned to Cuiyun Mountain openly and killed Wang Botong on the mountain.
The reason that prompted him to make this plan was a preference of the late-stage Jindan cultivator from Cuiyun Mountain.
The late Golden Elixir cultivator from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley on Cuiyun Mountain is named Shi Yulian. He has a seventh-level Golden Elixir cultivation level. He likes to collect seeds of various spiritual lotuses for planting and transplanting.
In fact, many high-level monks in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers have this kind of preference, because this is the subtle influence of their practicing skills on them.
The monks in the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley will choose a kind of flower as their natal spiritual flower, and then they can collect the aura essence of this natal spiritual flower through the exercises they practice to improve their cultivation. Shi Yulian's natal spiritual flower is the lotus.
For Shi Yulian, the more types of spiritual lotus she collects and plants, the more effective it will be when she collects the spiritual essence of these lotus for practice.
On Cuiyun Mountain, she opened a large mountain lake and planted dozens of different varieties of Linglian.
According to the records obtained by Zhou Yang, every time there was news about a new variety of Linglian, Shi Yulian would personally rush over to purchase it for confirmation.
Of course, if someone could give her a new variety of spiritual lotus, she would generously reward him.
Zhou Yang was planning to use a fourth-level spiritual lotus seed he brought from the far west to lure Shi Yulian away from Cuiyun Mountain, and then he would change his appearance into Cuiyun Mountain and kill Wang Botong.
This plan is bold and risky.
But precisely because of this, it is unexpected and unprepared.
To make this plan successful, Zhou Yang needs to achieve three things, one is to provide tokens for entering and exiting Cuiyun Mountain's formation, one is to simulate Shi Yulian's aura, and the other is to prevent the monks from Wanhua Valley from supporting Cuiyun Mountain through the teleportation array.
The former point is easy to say. There are not only Shi Yulian and Wang Botong on Cuiyun Mountain, but also many disciples from Wanhua Valley, as well as Shi Yulian's own disciples.
Those disciples of Wanhua Valley may need to verify their integrity by the monks guarding the formation inside Cuiyun Mountain before they can enter or exit Cuiyun Mountain. However, Shi Yulian's disciples have special tokens that allow them to enter and exit the formation freely.
Zhou Yang only needs to use a little trick to deceive one of Shi Yulian's apprentices and capture him, so that he can temporarily obtain the token, and then lure him out of Cuiyun Mountain before Shi Yulian discovers that something happened to his apprentice.
However, the most troublesome thing lies in the last two points.
The appearance and shape of immortal cultivators can be easily changed, but the aura is difficult to imitate. If Zhou Yang wanted to imitate Shi Yulian's aura, he could not do it on his own, so he had to turn to the Yuqing Taoist Sect for help.
If you want to prevent the monks from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley from supporting Cuiyun Mountain through the teleportation array, only a top sect like the Yuqing Dao Sect can do it.
He directly used the "Xianling Jade Book" to contact the real person Yulong, informed the other party of his plan and difficulties, and asked the other party for help.
Master Yulong admired his bold plan very much, and also gave him solutions to his difficulties.
It turns out that in the world of Immortal Cultivation in Liuyun Continent, there is a medium-sized sect called "Huanfa Sect", and its sect has an inherited treasure called "Huanhui Cloak". As long as you wear this "Huanhui Cloak", you will not be contaminated anymore.
Using something with someone's breath as a medium can simulate that person's breath.
The best thing is that when the [Illusion Cloak] transforms into a simulated breath, the monk can also adjust the strength of the breath.
In other words, even if Zhou Yang is at the fifth level of Jindan, as long as he puts on the [Illusion Cloak], his simulated aura can be as strong as Shi Yulian himself.
More than 2,000 years ago, a Yuqing Taoist monk from the Yuqing Taoist sect was benevolent to the "Huanfa Sect". Now, although that Yuqing Taoist monk has passed away, the Yuqing Taoist sect is still there, and he wants to come and pay tribute to the "Huanfa Sect".
"No matter how brave you are, you won't dare to be ungrateful and refuse this kindness, so it shouldn't be difficult to borrow the "Illusion Cloak".
As for preventing the monks from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley from supporting Cuiyun Mountain through the teleportation array, that would be even simpler. The Yuqing Taoist Sect established its sect with talismans. There is a talisman in the sect called the "Chaotic Sky Talisman", which can release a special talisman after being activated.
The power disrupts the space in a nearby area, making the small and medium-sized teleportation array temporarily useless.
After reading the reply from Master Yulong, Zhou Yang had to sigh that these large sects are so good and have such profound foundations that they are enviable.
Taking the "Huanfa Sect" as an example, maybe the monks from the Yuqing Taoist Sect who were kind to them at the beginning just did it casually and played a casual chess game to form a good relationship.
This can be seen from the moment he passed away without using this favor.
But favors are favors. The Yuqing Taoist Sect can not use this favor, but the "Huanfa Sect" cannot help but remember this kindness, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Receiving kindness from others will be remembered for thousands of years, but being ungrateful will lead to death.
The debt of gratitude between immortal cultivators is the most difficult to repay, especially the debt of gratitude from a top sect like the Yuqing Taoist Sect.
In fact, isn't Zhou Yang himself like this now?
It was also because of the great favor he received from the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and the benefits granted by the Yuqing Dao Sect that he had to take on this dangerous task of assassinating Wang Botong.
Top sects such as the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and the Yuqing Dao Sect have been able to survive for thousands of years. In addition to the fact that the Yuanying Stage monks have never been extinct, it is also because they have "many help from the Tao". Whenever there is danger, they will
Can summon a large number of helpers to help him.
Zhou Yang was very envious of the Yuqing Dao Sect's foundation, but he also knew that this kind of thing could not be achieved overnight, but was the result of generations of accumulated efforts.
And if you want to do this kind of thing successfully, there is another very important prerequisite, that is, you must be strong enough.
The Yuqing Taoist Sect was powerful enough, so even if the monks themselves had passed away, the "Huanfa Sect" would not dare not repay the favor left by their senior monks.
If the roles of the two parties were reversed, it would be difficult to say whether the "Huan Fa Sect" would be willing to return this favor.
Next, Zhou Yang found a remote place to lurk near Cuiyun Mountain, and waited patiently for Master Yulong to deliver the things he needed.
During this period, he also contacted the internal monks of the Yuqing Taoist Sect and asked them to help investigate the intelligence of Shi Yulian's disciples on Cuiyun Mountain and look for opportunities to lure them out and capture them.
More than two months passed before the things he wanted were delivered to him.
As soon as he got the thing, Zhou Yang first refined the [Illusion Cloak] magic weapon, and then tried to use it to simulate the aura of Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
Sure enough, this magic weapon is indeed a treasure that even Yulong Zhenren and other Yuanying stage monks have praised. The simulated Xiao Ying aura makes even a Taoist monk like Zhou Yang who has been with it for hundreds of years, simply from
I can't detect any difference in my breath either.
It's just that as a Taoist monk who has practiced dual cultivation of Yuan Shen, there will be a special connection between him and Taoist partner Xiao Ying. If someone wants to use the [Illusion Cloak] to simulate Xiao Ying's aura to deceive him, he is afraid that he will have to kill himself.
After eating the evil fruit, he took advantage of his plan and killed him.
However, Shi Yulian did not become a Taoist couple. Wang Botong and his Taoist couple on Cuiyun Mountain were not particularly familiar with Shi Yulian herself. Zhou Yang pretended to be her and entered Cuiyun Mountain, so it was basically impossible for anyone to detect him through his aura and appearance.
He is fake.
So after confirming that the [Phantom Cloak] was indeed available, Zhou Yang began to formally launch the plan.
He first went to the Immortal Cultivation Family where Shi Yulian's fifth disciple was born, sneaked into it quietly, controlled the top management of the family, and then had someone send a message to Shi Yulian, the fifth disciple, asking him to return to the family.
After the female cultivator from the Purple Mansion came back, Zhou Yang followed the same method and suppressed her in the "Qianyang Golden Pagoda". From her body, she obtained a token of entry and exit from Cuiyun Mountain, as well as something with the aura of Shi Yulian.
At the same time, the insider monks of [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance] also appeared in a fairy city tens of thousands of miles away from Cuiyun Mountain with the fourth-level spiritual lotus seeds given by Zhou Yang, deliberately letting a cultivating family who had some relationship with Shi Yulian know about it.
In order to claim credit, he was induced to report the news to Shi Yulian in Cuiyun Mountain.
Now that the plan is here, everything is going smoothly.
As expected, Shi Yulian, as recorded in the data, attached great importance to the alien spiritual lotus that he did not have in his hands. After receiving the news, he quickly left Cuiyun Mountain and flew to the fairy city.
And Zhou Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, waited until she flew three to four thousand miles, and immediately disguised herself as her and flew back to Cuiyun Mountain.
"Didn't Master go to Magnolia Fairy City for business? Why did he come back so soon?"
The two disciples of Shi Yulian who were guarding Cuiyun Mountain's mountain protection formation saw "Master" leaving and returning. They couldn't help but asked about the situation in confusion, but they did not stop Zhou Yang from entering Cuiyun Mountain.
While Zhou Yang was stimulating the tokens he received from Shi Yulian's fifth disciple to enter the formation, he imitated Shi Yulian's voice and said slowly: "I thought about it carefully on the way, but I still felt a little worried about this, so I sent a message to let him know.
Junior Sister He from Magnolia City helped buy those Linglian seeds."
Unexpectedly, Shi Yulian's second disciple became even more puzzled after hearing his words, and asked with surprise in his tone: "Master He has been having some problems with you, Master, will she be willing to help you?"
Is this busy?"
Oops!
Zhou Yang secretly thought that it was bad, he didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and soon he snorted coldly: "Huh, why are you talking so much today? It's a taboo to make irresponsible remarks about the teacher. It seems that the teacher is still too lenient with you on weekdays, so much so that you can't even follow the sect rules."
I don’t even care about it anymore!”
"Master, forgive me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have discussed the matter between you and Uncle He. I hope Master will forgive me this time."
Shi Yulian's second disciple was indeed frightened by Zhou Yang's harsh words. He quickly flew out of the formation and came to Zhou Yang to beg for mercy.
Seeing this opportunity, how could Zhou Yang let it go? He immediately took action to restrain the woman and took away the control flag of the Cuiyun Mountain Protective Formation from her body.
Then he knocked the girl unconscious and hid it in a hidden place. His consciousness swept the entire Lingshan Mountain, and he soon discovered where Wang Botong and his wife were.
What makes Zhou Yang happy is that apart from Wang Botong and his wife, there is no third Golden Core Stage cultivator from the Six Paths Alliance on Cuiyun Mountain.
Wang Botong himself is only at the fourth level of the Golden elixir, and has only been promoted for less than ten years. His Taoist companion has only been cultivating the elixir for less than a hundred years, and his cultivation is still at the first level of the Golden elixir.
How could such two people be opponents of the evil star Zhou Yang?
He first used Shi Yulian's voice to deceive the couple out of the cave, and then used the "Chaotic Sky Talisman" given by Master Yulong to disrupt the space laws on Cuiyun Mountain, causing the teleportation array on the mountain to lead directly to the gate of Wanhua Valley to lose its effect.
He showed his true colors and launched a surprise attack.
As expected by Zhou Yang, Wang Botong did have a treasure like the "Xuan Yang Purple Sky Divine Thunder" jade talisman on his body. After discovering that Shi Yulian was actually pretended to be Zhou Yang, he used this treasure without hesitation.
However, Zhou Yang, who was protected by the "Jade Immortal Urn", was not afraid of his attack at all, and took the initiative to inspire this life-saving thing to carry it.
Next, Wang Botong and his wife, without this life-saving thing, naturally could not escape Zhou Yang's vicious hands, and they both died at Zhou Yang's hands in less than two quarters of an hour.
After Zhou Yang killed the couple, he just collected their bodies and trophies and fled directly from Cuiyun Mountain. He did not embarrass the ordinary disciples of Wanhua Valley on the mountain, and even captured several disciples of Shi Yulian.
