Master Qingyang's love and care for Zhou Guangcheng, the heir to the mantle, is obviously no less than that of Zhou Yang, his father.
After receiving Zhou Yang's message, he quickly came to Huohua Mountain himself.
"I have asked the monks of the sect to pay attention to the news from Shenhuo Palace at any time. At present, they have not confirmed that it was Cheng'er who killed him."
"However, there were not many monks of our sect operating in the wild jungle at that time. Cheng'er also made public appearances in Hellfire City. If you want to hide this matter, I'm afraid you can't. Sooner or later, Shenhuo Palace will find out.
the truth."
"Now my opinion is that before the Shenhuo Palace launches an attack, take the initiative to inform them of the ins and outs of the incident, apologize to them with a generous gift, and ban Cheng'er for a hundred years in the name of punishment. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Zhou?"
As soon as he saw Zhou Yang, Master Qingyang told him the solution he had thought of in a hurry and asked for his opinion.
After all, Zhou Guangcheng is a disciple of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect. The sect pays the most attention to rules. Not to mention that Zhou Guangcheng was not completely justified in this matter. He was just justified and killed a top sect Jindan elder who had no grudge against his sect.
It is also a big mistake and cannot go unpunished.
The rules of the sect usually state that we can punish ourselves, but we can only punish ourselves. It is impossible to really hand over the disciples who have made mistakes and let others punish them. This will not only make other sects laugh to death, but also make other sects laugh to death.
This disciple is heartbroken.
After Zhou Yang heard what Master Qingyang said, he knew that the other party had already made up his mind about this matter, and of course he would not refute him.
However, he still said sincerely: "The junior has no objection to the senior's handling plan, but the junior estimates that the Shenhuo Palace is unlikely to give up like this. It seems that the Jindan monk who was killed by Cheng'er also has a high status in the Shenhuo Palace.
, there seems to be a Nascent Soul cultivator behind him!"
Upon hearing this, Master Qingyang waved his hands and said: "Whether they will give up or not is not important. What is important is that we cannot follow the truth and say that our disciples of Xuanyang Immortal Sect are domineering and bullying others."
Zhou Yang understood immediately.
He narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly and said: "Junior understands, then I will personally go to Shenhuo Palace again and apologize to them. I promise that I will do it beautifully so that outsiders can't fault it."
Immediately Master Qingyang smiled and said, "It's better that you and I go together. After all, Guangcheng is also my disciple."
Compared to Zhou Yang, the guest Supreme Elder, he, the real Xuanyang Immortal Sect Supreme Elder, is undoubtedly more representative of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
Zhou Yang also understood this, so he didn't say anything more. He just bowed his hands and said: "The dog is unfilial and has caused the senior to work hard for him. The junior here apologizes to the senior on his behalf."
The two quickly left Huohua Mountain and took Zhou Yang's Misty Cloud Car together to the mountain gate of Shenhuo Palace.
As expected, things went as expected by Master Qingyang. While they were still on the way, the news that Dai Hongle, the Jindan elder of Shenhuo Palace, had died at the hands of Zhou Guangcheng, a true disciple of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, had already spread in Nanman.
Afraid that others would not know Zhou Guangcheng's identity, he deliberately publicized his identity as the "Second Generation Immortal".
Although Shenhuo Palace did not "officially announce" this matter, both Zhou Yang and Qingyang Masters knew that the news must have been released by Shenhuo Palace on their own initiative.
As for its intention, of course it is to first occupy the moral high ground and make people feel that Xuanyang Immortal Sect disciples are bullying others.
Originally, Zifu's feat of destroying the golden elixir was a feat that many middle- and low-level monks could talk about. However, all the middle- and low-level monks who heard the news would instinctively support the weak side, that is, the Zifu-level monks.
One side.
But when they knew that the Zifu stage monk was able to kill the Jindan stage monks only because he was from a famous sect and had a father and master with great supernatural powers, out of jealousy, the middle and low-level monks would begin to sympathize with him.
Thinking of the golden elixir monk who died in vain.
Isn't that right? I managed to form a golden elixir and lived for thousands of years. However, because of a conflict with a "Second Generation Immortal", I was killed by the "Second Generation Immortal" with the treasures given by my father and master.
Is the person unjust?
I have to say that although the method of Shenhuo Palace is a bit clumsy, it is indeed very effective.
If Zhou Yang and the Xuanyang Immortal Sect do not come forward to clarify the matter in time and allow the matter to spread, both his own reputation and the reputation of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect will be greatly affected, and Zhou Guangcheng will be even more affected by this.
He became a famous playboy in the world of immortality and was hated by many monks.
Fortunately, after they learned about this on the way, they speeded up and rushed outside the Hellfire City, the largest and busiest fairy city in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
Originally, their target was the location of the mountain gate of Shenhuo Palace, but when they learned about the rumors spread by Shenhuo Palace on the way, Zhou Yang decided to change the target and go to Hellfire City.
Compared to Shanmen, which only has monks from Shenhuo Palace, clarifying the matter in Hellfire City, where hundreds of thousands of monks have gathered, is undoubtedly easier to restore the reputation.
Moreover, apologizing in public shows their sincerity even more.
Zhou Yang visited the Hellfire City once when he was cultivating in the Zifu period. Later, he entered the wild jungle several times, but he never entered this place.
Coincidentally, when he came outside Hellfire City again this time, it was also a dark night, just like the first time he came here.
Hellfire City at night is undoubtedly much more beautiful and spectacular than during the day.
The fire in the hundred-mile-long natural fire abyss in the west of the city soared into the sky, illuminating hundreds of miles on both sides of the river bank like daylight.
On top of the hundred-foot-tall "Sacred Fire Altar" in the city, an eternal flame burned blazingly, bringing light and warmth to the surrounding area for dozens of miles.
But tonight, there is another huge lighting source in the sky outside Hellfire City.
Zhou Yang stood in the air thousands of feet high in the sky dozens of miles away from the east of the city. With his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he activated the magic power "Qianyang Golden Light" that he had mastered during the Foundation Establishment stage. In an instant, golden light shone across the sky.
The dark night sky suddenly became as bright as day.
Such a big movement, coupled with Zhou Yang's unabashed aura as a Nascent Soul monk, naturally alerted most of the monks in Hellfire City. Countless monks quickly walked out of various buildings and looked to the east in horror.
Tian Tian, I don’t understand who dares to do such an act that is close to provocation outside Hellfire City.
Facing the gazes of countless monks in Hellfire City, Zhou Yang arched his hands with a calm face, and shouted in a deep voice like thunder: "Xuanyang Immortal Sect's guest, Supreme Elder Zhou Yang, and our sect's Supreme Elder Qingyang Zhenren,
I’m here to apologize for the accidental killing of the elder of the Shenhuo Palace, Dai Hongle, by the dog Zhou Guangcheng, and also invite fellow Taoist Deng from the Shenhuo Palace to come out and see him!”
This is not an apology!
This is obviously to establish prestige!
Seeing the golden-robed young man covered in golden light, who looked like a god coming to earth, many monks in Hellfire City began to get excited.
As the saying goes, watching the excitement is not too big a deal.
It is suspected that Zhou Guangcheng, a true disciple of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, killed Dai Hongle, the golden elixir elder of Shenhuo Palace. The final conclusion has not yet been made. Now his father Qianyang Zhenren Zhou Yang and his master Qingyang Zhenren came to the Hellfire directly under the jurisdiction of Shenhuo Palace. People outside the city showed off their power, but they said they were here to apologize.
Any monk who sees this scene will know that there will be a big drama next.
Sure enough, a moment after Zhou Yang's voice fell, a huge fire suddenly burst out from the natural fire abyss to the west of Hellfire City.
The fire rushed from west to east like a bolide, and soon crashed into the golden light area outside the East City. Finally, it stopped thousands of feet away from Zhou Yang and the two of them, revealing a red man wearing a fiery red robe. Old people.
"The great prestige of friendly friendship!"
The red-haired old man was surrounded by fire, and he carved out a piece of sky for himself in the golden light area. He looked at Zhou Yang with a gloomy face and sneered: "Those who know the inside story, maybe they are really Taoist friends who are here to apologize." , people who don’t know the inside story see Fellow Taoist being so majestic and think that Fellow Daoist has some dissatisfaction with our Shenhuo Palace and deliberately comes to establish his authority!”
The voice of the red-haired old man was not concealed in any way and could be heard by most of Hellfire City.
When the monks in the city heard his words that were obviously full of resentment, they became even more excited. They stared at the three Nascent Soul Stage monks in the sky with wide eyes, ready to watch a good show.
However, Zhou Yang seemed to have disappointed them. Facing the ridicule of the red-haired old man, he raised his hands with a look of shame on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist Deng's words are serious. Zhou has no way of teaching his son, so that the evil son wants a magical medicine." So I went with the noble sect Dai Daoyou, and accidentally killed Dai Daoyou."
At this time, even Shenhuo Palace didn’t know why Dai Hongle had a conflict with Zhou Guangcheng and ended up losing his life. Otherwise, they wouldn’t just spread rumors to force Zhou Yang and Xuanyang Immortal Sect to come out and clarify. They would have already “officially announced "Let Xuanyang Immortal Sect and Zhou Yang give them an explanation for this matter.
Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, not only Deng Zhenren of Shenhuo Palace was stunned, but also the monks who were watching the excitement couldn't help but whisper.
Naturally, the words these people said were very unfavorable to the Shenhuo Palace.
Two monks with different levels of cultivation are fighting for a spiritual elixir. This kind of thing can easily make the casual cultivators in Hellfire City and the low-level monks from small and medium-sized forces associate it with each other, bringing it into their own perspective and remembering some of the things they have been subjected to by others. Seizing opportunities.
Obviously, in the subconscious mind of most monks, they would not think that Zhou Guangcheng, a monk at the Zifu stage, would take the initiative to snatch the elixir discovered by Dai Hongle, a monk at the Golden Core stage.
Then the situation must be that Dai Hongle, a golden elixir-level monk, saw Zhou Guangcheng discovering a rare elixir, and relied on his golden elixir-level cultivation to try to rob it. Then Zhou Guangcheng refused and used the large elixir given by his father. The powerful treasure killed the opponent in one fell swoop.
In this way, things make sense.
Zhou Guangcheng's cultivation in the Purple Mansion Stage was obviously unable to control that power, so he accidentally killed Dai Hongle, a Golden Core Stage monk who was also from a top sect.
Yes, that must be the case!
And Zhou Yang's intention also lies in this.
Since Shenhuo Palace wants to play a public opinion offensive with them and want to occupy the commanding heights in public opinion to ruin their reputation, then of course he cannot remain indifferent and let it develop.
Although he kept saying that Zhou Guangcheng did something wrong, in fact, in his heart, Zhou Guangcheng's mistake was not to kill Dai Hongle at all, but that he should not have provoked someone who could kill him for a spiritual medicine that he did not lack.
Strong enemy.
So when he came to the Shenhuo Palace to apologize, it was just as Master Qingyang said, just to show off and give the Shenhuo Palace some face.
Originally, it was a normal thing for a cultivator to die fighting for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and it was nothing new at all.
What's more, the thousand-year-old red fruit didn't originally belong to Dai Hongle, at least Zhou Guangcheng didn't snatch it from him.
Since he didn't think his son was wrong for killing Dai Hongle, Zhou Yang had no sense of wrongdoing when facing the Shenhuo Palace. Now he used words to create a public opinion offensive to counterattack the opponent. Naturally, he did it logically and without any psychological barriers.
At this moment, he saw Master Deng and many monks in Hellfire City being brought into the situation by his words, triggering endless reveries. Before Master Deng could recover from his words, he looked guilty.
He bowed to him and said: "Zhou is deeply ashamed of this. He has already taught that evil boy a lesson and banned him for a hundred years. He will not be allowed to come down the mountain until he achieves the golden elixir!"
Hearing his words, Master Deng's face changed slightly. How could he not understand the true meaning of Zhou Yang's words.
What does the so-called hundred years of confinement mean to a high-level monk?
It only takes a few long retreats and it's over.
This kind of punishment is actually a means to protect the disciples from being retaliated against, and it is also a common method used by major forces.
Zhou Yang's words like this now, in Deng Zhenren's view, are a warning to himself and Shenhuo Palace, warning Shenhuo Palace not to think about taking revenge in private.
How could he not be annoyed?
I saw the muscles on his face trembling for a while, as if he was about to say something back to Zhou Yang.
But before his voice came out, Zhou Yang seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately said: "Originally, this time I came to apologize, the evil son came to personally apologize, but now the evil son is seriously injured.
Because of his poor health and inconvenience in walking, Zhou had no choice but to shamelessly come over in person to apologize to Fellow Daoist Deng and Shenhuo Palace."
"Of course Zhou also knows that empty words cannot truly show sincerity, so he is willing to pay millions of spiritual stones to the family of Dai Daoyou's teacher for Quanzi's wrongdoing. At the same time, he is also willing to compensate the thousand-year-old red fruit that caused their conflict.
Leave it to the family of Master Dai Daoyou!"
Deng Zhenren's words were immediately suppressed in his stomach.
He really wanted to say this just now, but this time Zhou Yang was obviously prepared, but he seemed passive.
But after all, he is still a Nascent Soul monk, and he cannot be easily controlled by Zhou Yang.
His face darkened and he said coldly: "Deng is just fulfilling his duty to guard Hellfire City. Whether Taoist friend Zhou wants to apologize or plead guilty, it is better to wait for the great elder of our sect, the master of nephew Dai, Taoist companion and others.
After you come here, go and explain to them in person!"
