Zhao Yuanpu, the great elder of Shenhuo Palace, "Tian Yang Zhenren", is also a famous late Nascent Soul cultivator in Liuyun Continent's immortal world.
Zhou Yang has long heard of the name of this "Zhenren Tianyang", and even knows that the other party also possesses a famous spiritual fire of heaven and earth [Tiangang Thunder Fire], and has used it to cultivate the great magical power of the Shenhuo Palace [
Three Flavors Divine Fire].
Therefore, after Deng Zhenren carried the elder of Shenhuo Palace out, Zhou Yang did not force him too much.
After all, he came here to apologize. Even if he knew in his heart that this was just a formality, he couldn't completely disagree with what he meant.
Moreover, listening to the whispers of the middle and low-level monks in Hellfire City, he knew that his basic goal had been achieved.
If you act aggressively at this time, you will use too much force and destroy your previous achievements.
As soon as he fell silent, Master Qingyang, who had been silent next to him, knew that it was time for him to appear.
"Hahaha, what Fellow Daoist Deng said is not unreasonable. As the saying goes, every injustice has its own owner and every debt has its owner. Since Daoist Fellow Dai still has a teacher and a fellow Taoist, I should apologize to both parties."
After Master Qingyang finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Master Deng and said, "Because of the things caused by the evil disciples, I have disturbed Fellow Daoist Deng's Qing cultivation. Qingyang feels deeply ashamed and asks Fellow Daoist Deng to forgive me."
Faced with Master Qingyang's salute and apology, Master Deng did not dare to make any excuses, and hurriedly replied: "Fellow Taoist Qingyang, you are so polite. Such a big event happened to the sect. As a member of the sect, Deng is naturally responsible."
After speaking, he frowned again, glanced at the many middle and low-level monks occupying the streets in Hellfire City, and said with an ugly face: "This is not the place to talk. Please move to the city lord's palace and wait. Mr. Deng
Take care of things in the city."
Then, without waiting for Zhou Yang and the others to respond, he turned around and flew back to Hellfire City.
After a while, the guard monks belonging to Hellfire City went out everywhere to drive away those monks who made unfavorable remarks about Shenhuo Palace.
"It's done! This Master Deng has done us a big favor. If he does this, the monks who were expelled will publicize this matter everywhere with resentment, and others will take it as a sign of Shenhuo Palace's guilty conscience!"
In the palace of the city lord of Hellfire City, after Zhou Yang released his spiritual consciousness and saw what was happening in the city, he immediately put his hands on his hands and smiled, with a smile all over his face.
When Master Qingyang saw this, he sighed with emotion on his face and said: "Fellow Daoist Deng has nothing to do! If he doesn't do this and allows the rumors to continue to evolve, it will only get worse and it will not end well.
Already."
When Zhou Yang heard what he said, the smile on his face suddenly faded. After pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly with a thoughtful look and said: "Senior is right, let's see who is coming now."
Tianyang Zhenren], what is your attitude?"
Although the mountain gate of Shenhuo Palace is a little far away from Hellfire City, for Nascent Soul stage monks, the difference is only one hour or several hours.
Zhou Yang and Qingyang didn't have to wait long before two powerful Nascent Soul-level auras appeared outside Hellfire City, and then moved straight towards the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
After a while, four figures, three men and one woman, slowly descended into the city lord's mansion.
These four people, two old men wearing red robes, are all at the Nascent Soul stage. They are Zhao Yuanpu, the great elder of Shenhuo Palace, "Tian Yang Zhenren", and Wei Qi, the second elder of "Diyang Zhenren". Wei Qi also has a
His identity is Dai Hongle’s master.
As for the remaining young man and the middle-aged beautiful woman, they should be the family members of Dai Hongle, the Jindan elder of Shenhuo Palace who died under Zhou Guangcheng.
"Junior Zhou Yang, I have met Zhenren Zhao and Daoist Fellow Wei."
"Qingyang has met Zhenren Zhao and met fellow Daoist Wei."
Masters Zhou Yang and Qingyang glanced at the two old men, and they greeted them in advance.
The reason why the two people have different names is because although Master Qingyang is thousands of years younger than "Zhenyang Tianyang" Zhao Yuanpu, as the Supreme Elder of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, this trip represents Xuanyang Immortal.
Zong's face naturally meant that he could not call himself a junior, so calling him "Zhenren Zhao" was enough to express his respect for Zhao Yuanpu.
On the other hand, Zhou Yang was different. He was almost two thousand years younger than Zhao Yuanpu, and he came to apologize. It was obviously more sincere to call himself a junior.
Zhao Yuanpu was an old man with a full-faced face and a majestic air. After he waited for Zhou Yang and the two to salute, he returned the greeting with a smile on his face and said: "You two Taoist friends are very polite. Zhao has also heard the names of these two Taoist friends for a long time. Today
It's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you!"
Looking at him, he didn't look like he was here to protest, but rather like he was here to meet a friend he hadn't seen for many years.
On the other hand, Wei Qi, the red-robed old man behind him with his narrow eyes and narrow eyebrows, who didn't look like a kind person at first glance, was not so easy to talk to.
After Zhao Yuanpu finished speaking, this person twitched his eyebrows and said with a strange voice: "The Xuanyang Immortal Sect is really a famous sect. For the sake of a junior from the Zifu period, I have to labor two Yuanying Masters to come here.
My Divine Fire Palace shows its majesty, but I pity Wei’s miserable disciple, who worked so hard to form the golden elixir, and died for no reason at the hands of a child with a yellow mouth just after half of his thousand-year life. It’s really sad and lamentable!”
It seemed that they had discussed it long ago. As soon as this person finished speaking, the young man and the middle-aged beautiful woman, who looked somewhat similar to Dai Hongle, hugged each other and started crying.
"Uuuuuuuuah, husband, you died so miserably. Without your care, how will I and Yu'er live in the future?"
"Dad, you died so miserably. The child is useless. Even your body was unable to contain it. The child is unfilial!"
…
It's a very crude little trick, but I have to say it works.
At least Zhou Yang and Qingyang's originally calm and calm expressions suddenly changed due to the mourning of the mother and son.
The two looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then Zhou Yang, Zhou Guangcheng's father, spoke first.
He bowed his hands to the mother and son, who were holding each other's arms and crying, and said: "The two Taoist friends must be Dai Taoist companions and sons. Dogs are so ignorant that they accidentally killed Dai Taoist friends. Zhou felt deeply ashamed of this. It was Zhou."
Such a tragedy was caused by poor parenting. Zhou hereby deeply apologizes to the two fellow Taoists and asks the two fellow Taoists to accept Zhou's apology."
After saying this, he bowed and apologized to the two of them.
When it came to the discussion, the mother and son were panicked. How could they dare to accept such a gift from a real person in the Nascent Soul stage? They quickly separated their bodies and ran behind Zhao Pu and Wei Qi, and responded in a trembling voice: "I don't dare to be so gifted by my predecessor. What else can I do?"
Seniors, please don’t harm the junior mother and son.”
They didn't dare to fight against Zhou Yang, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally there were others who would.
I saw that Wei Qidang glared and snorted heavily: "Humph, now that everyone is in ashes, what's the use of your apology? Killing to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is a matter of course.
If Zhou Daoyou is really sincere, he will hand over the murderer to the family of the deceased. Now that he has not even brought the murderer, do you dare to say that you are really sincere in apologizing?"
"Fellow Daoist Wei, what you said is wrong!"
Master Qingyang's face straightened, he took over the words and said seriously: "Let's not talk about the other reasons for this matter. From the perspective of the rules of the world of immortality, since the monks have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals to seek immortality, they must
Be prepared to die as a martyr at any time. It is indeed a heartbreaking thing for fellow Taoist Dai to die at the hands of evildoers, but if you ask evildoers to pay for it with their lives, please forgive me for not agreeing!"
When Wei Qi heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Hahaha, look, your true colors have been revealed! Since you don't want to hand over the murderer, why are you here? Could it be that you think my Shenhuo Palace is easy to bully, and you bullied me?
If you are not satisfied, you will kill me and other seniors too, so as to avoid future troubles!"
"If that's the case, just wait and let go..."
"Junior brother, be careful what you say!"
Zhao Yuanpu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked sharply and shouted, interrupting Wei Qi's next words.
But his cold and stern look was clearly directed at Zhou Yang and the other two.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, this is pure nonsense. Qingyang and fellow Daoist Zhou came to Shenhuo Palace to apologize sincerely. However, Qingyang must make it clear to Master Zhao and fellow daoists from Shenhuo Palace. I will apologize here.
First, I deplore the tragedy that happened to Daoyou Dai and am willing to make some compensation for his family within my own capabilities; second, I don’t want this misunderstanding to cause you and me to turn against each other and lead to more tragedies!”
As Master Qingyang spoke, he tossed his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "If Shenhuo Palace is unwilling to accept the apology, then Qingyang and fellow Daoist Zhou will not stay any longer and will go home right now!"
After saying this, he looked directly at Zhao Yuanpu, waiting for him to make a decision.
Everyone present knew that there was only one person who could truly represent the Shenhuo Palace, and that was Zhao Yuanpu, the helmsman of the Shenhuo Palace.
Wei Qi's clamor was just a test before Zhao Yuanpu made a decision. No one would think that he could become the master of Shenhuo Palace.
"Hey! Junior Brother Wei lost his beloved disciple. He lost control of his emotions and made a mistake. Please forgive me, my two fellow Taoists."
Under the gazes of Master Qingyang and Zhou Yang, Zhao Yuanpu first sighed and justified Wei Qi's previous aggressive words.
Then he also straightened up his expression and said seriously: "I and Shenhuo Palace have absolutely no intention of antagonizing the Xuanyang Immortal Sect. I have always admired and respected a famous and upright sect like the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and often called on my disciples.
Learn from it.”
"It's just that Master Nephew Dai is the elder of our sect's Golden Core after all. It is an indisputable fact that he died at the hands of a disciple of your sect. As the great elder of Shenhuo Palace, if I can't get justice for him, I will not only be sorry for myself.
It is even more difficult to give a satisfactory explanation to the thousands of disciples in our sect!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Yang immediately asked in a deep voice: "I wonder what kind of justice Mr. Zhao wants? Zhou also told Mr. Deng of your sect before that he was willing to compensate Daoyou Dai's family for Quanzi's fault.
Millions of spirit stones, and the [Millennium Vermilion Fruit] that Daoist Brother Dai wanted to get but never got before he was alive was returned to your sect for disposal. Isn't this enough to show Zhou's sincerity?"
When Zhao Yuanpu heard this, he asked coldly: "In the eyes of fellow Taoist Zhou, is the life of a golden elixir-level monk in our sect only worth a million spirit stones and a [Thousand-Year Crimson Fruit]? As far as I know, Dai
My nephew’s personal net worth is more than this, and yet we have not found even a single bit of his body!”
Zhou Yang's momentum suddenly stagnated, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute Zhao Yuanpu's words.
He knew that the accounts could not be settled in this way, but he could not say that Dai Hongle deserved to die, and it was not worth the more compensation he had to pay!
After a long time passed like this, he spread his hands, shook his head helplessly and said: "Zhou did not hide it from Zhenren Zhao, Daoist friend Dai died under a protective treasure given to Quanzi by Zhou, and his body was long gone.
When he died, all his belongings were turned into powder, so Quanzi didn't actually get any of his relics!"
In fact, Shenhuo Palace had already expected this result. After all, destroying the corpse and destroying traces after killing is something that every immortal cultivator understands when he first goes out for a walk.
But they didn't expect that Dai Hongle would actually be beaten to ashes, leaving not even a single relic behind.
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Wei Qi, who had not spoken since Zhao Yuanpu opened his mouth, immediately said in a sinister tone: "Zhou Dao's friendly method is to give Wei a protective treasure."
The apprentice was beaten to ashes, but I wonder if Wei can open his eyes and see the power of that treasure!"
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Wei, not believe Zhou's words?"
Zhou Yang frowned and looked directly at Wei Qi, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Although this Wei Qi is the second elder of Shenhuo Palace, his cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Nascent Soul. Zhou Yang is not afraid of such a thing at all.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Zhao Yuanpu hurriedly interjected and said: "Even if what Zhou Daoyou said is true, Master Nephew Dai died at the hands of the Young Master, but now the Young Master can't even return his relics.
Family members, this is not in line with the rules!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since Zhenren Zhao said this, then Zhou will give Zhenren face and is willing to add 500,000 spirit stones to the original compensation basis. Zhenren
What do you think?"
"Although one and a half million spiritual stones are far inferior to the life of Master Nephew Dai, I have indeed seen the sincerity of Brother Daoist Zhou. As the saying goes that people cannot be resurrected after death, I believe that Master Nephew Dai has a soul in heaven, so I will not
Will he be willing to cause the two factions to kill each other because of him!"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Zhou Yang's compensation plan.
But just when Zhou Yang thought that the matter was settled, he said again: "But I am willing to accept the compensation from Daoist Zhou on behalf of Shenhuo Palace and the family of Master Nephew Dai, just because I don't want to start a fight with the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
Conflict, I don’t want Master Nephew Dai’s death to be in vain, but if I want Shenhuo Palace to let go of the murderer, my son, it’s absolutely impossible!”
"Is Master Zhao just entertaining the younger generation?"
Zhou Yang's face changed, and he said gloomily: "If it weren't for Quanzi's future safety, do you really think that Zhou, a dignified Yuanying monk, would be willing to come over and apologize to two juniors who are not as good as Jindan? Would he be willing to take it for free?
Give away 1.5 million spiritual stones?"
When Zhao Yuanpu heard this, he glanced at Master Qingyang next to him with deep meaning, and then smiled coldly and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please don't forget that if you weren't concerned about your master's identity as a true disciple of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, I, Shenhuo Palace, would have
It is also not difficult to avenge Master Nephew Dai!"
"If Fellow Daoist Zhao says this, then Zhou has nothing to say. If you want to avenge the dead disciple, you can, but please step on Zhou's body first, or when the time comes, Zhou can also avenge the murder of his son.
Launch bottomless revenge on your faction!"
Zhou Yang said and turned to leave.
"Friend Daoist Zhou, please wait!"
Master Qingyang hurriedly spoke to save people, then looked at Zhao Yuanpu with an angry face and said: "Does fellow Taoist Zhao really want to do this? I might as well tell fellow Taoist that my disciple, our sect is in Baoding, if fellow Taoist really
If you don’t want to be kind, then our sect will have no choice but to accept the move!”
Zhao Yuanpu's face changed slightly when he heard what he said. He couldn't help frowning and looking at him and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingyang loves his disciples very much. I understand, but if you say such words, are you not afraid that other disciples of your sect will be disappointed? And you are sure, fellow Taoist
Can I represent the entire Xuanyang Immortal Sect?"
When Master Qingyang heard what he said, his face suddenly became even uglier, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "As an elder of my sect, if I can't even protect my successor, then my sect will chill other disciples. As for the
Whether I can represent the Xuanyang Immortal Sect or not, I’m afraid it’s not up to Fellow Daoist Zhao to decide!”
When Zhao Yuanpu saw this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look thoughtful and murmured to himself: "To be able to make fellow Taoist Qingyang lose his composure for him, it seems that I and this sect have underestimated that fellow Taoist."
The importance of apprentices to your sect!"
After saying that, his face became solemn, his eyes swept over the faces of Zhou Yang and Qingyang, and he said in a deep voice: "You can make me and Shenhuo Palace wave their hands. Which of the two fellow Taoists can stand up and make peace with me?"
If you can survive this fight for half an hour, you can hand over the compensation and leave. I swear on my own reputation and the reputation of Shenhuo Palace that no one in Shenhuo Palace will ever target Zhou Daoyou's son because of this matter again!"
He is at the seventh level of Nascent Soul, two realms higher than the two early Nascent Soul monks Zhou Yang and Qingyang Zhenren. Now that he is saying this, he is obviously intending to bully the younger ones.
Therefore, when Master Qingyang heard what he said, he immediately refused.
But Zhou Yang stopped him directly, then looked at Zhao Yuanpu with a serious face and shouted: "Okay, this is what you said yourself, fellow Taoist Zhao. Zhou is not talented, so come and teach fellow Taoist how to make a good move!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you..."
Master Qingyang looked at Zhou Yang in astonishment, his eyes full of worry.
Zhou Yang smiled nonchalantly and said: "In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the dog. As his father, it is natural for Zhou to wipe his butt. Senior Qingyang, please rest assured. Zhou understands what he is doing."
What."
His confidence in saying this naturally comes from his confidence in his own strength. He is confident that even a late Nascent Soul monk cannot defeat him in half an hour.
But others don't see it that way. Although the gap between the two small realms of the late Nascent Soul stage and the early Nascent Soul stage is not as big as the gap between the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage, it is not much different.
If a late-stage Nascent Soul monk is determined to kill an early-stage Nascent Soul monk, it is very likely that he can do it.
Therefore, even Zhao Yuanpu couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing Zhou Yang's words: "Poor parents in the world, Zhou Daoyou's love for his son is really touching. If Taoist friend can really survive half the time,
In an hour, I am also willing to make friends as Taoist friends!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything more. He just stretched out his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please."
When Zhao Yuanpu saw this, he immediately put away his expression and returned the salute seriously: "Fellow Taoist Zhou, please come with me."
Then he flew directly out of the city lord's palace and flew towards the place outside the city near the wild jungle.
Finally, the group of people stopped at a height of 10,000 feet in the outer area of the wild jungle.
In the sky thousands of feet high, the invisible wind is more powerful than a knife, destroying gold and corroding bones as if it were nothing. Ordinary golden elixir stage monks can't hold on for a quarter of an hour when they reach this height. However, Zhou Yang didn't even use the protective spell. The body's defense is immune to the damage caused by the wind.
Even Zhao Yuanpu, a late-stage Nascent Soul monk who was thousands of feet away from him, couldn't do this.
Therefore, after seeing this scene, even Zhao Yuanpu couldn't help but exclaimed: "I have long heard that Zhou Daoyou has a body-refining magical power that is first-class. There is no one in the entire Liuyun Continent cultivation world who can do this." The human monks who competed with fellow Taoists really lived up to their reputation when I saw them today!"
Then a light flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "However, compared with the body refining magical power of fellow Taoist Zhou, I want to see the power of [Qianyang True Fire] mastered by fellow Taoist Zhou, and see how the same top fire magic power is. Is our [Three Flavors Divine Fire] better, or my fellow Taoist [Qianyang True Fire] is sharper!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately responded and said: "Since Taoist Fellow Zhao has such an interest, Zhou is naturally willing to fulfill it. Fellow Taoist, take a look!"
After speaking, he rubbed his hands together, and a ball of pure golden [Qianyang True Fire] quickly rose in his palms, then burned more and more intensely, and quickly transformed into a several-foot-long golden fire dragon under his control and flew out. .
"Well done!"
Zhao Yuanpu shouted with excitement, and with the same rub of his hands, a ball of silver-purple divine fire quickly rose from the palm of his hand, turning into a fire phoenix with a wingspan of several feet and swooping towards the golden fire dragon.
A dragon and a phoenix met in mid-air, and like two real creatures, they roared and hissed and fought close to each other, vowing to extinguish each other.
Because it was to see who had the more powerful fire magic power, neither Zhou Yang nor Zhao Yuanpu injected an extra point of mana into the two fire dragons and fire phoenixes. They just relied on their respective ability to control the flames and used their spiritual consciousness to control the flames. Control the battle between two fire dragons and fire phoenixes.
Zhou Yang is actually at a disadvantage in this regard, because Zhao Yuanpu has lived nearly two thousand years longer than him after all, and Shenhuo Palace is an expert at playing with fire. In terms of the ability to control flames, even if he often uses [Qianyang True Fire] The weapon refining is no match for Zhao Yuanpu's ability to control the [Three Flavors Divine Fire].
But he is not without advantages. First of all, his [Qianyang True Fire] is an innate magical power. He is born with it, and the flame will not resist his control.
The second is his [Qian Yang True Fire], but it has been amplified by the [Qian Yang Orb], a seventh-level fairy weapon. Compared with the [Qian Yang True Fire] used by normal Nascent Soul monks, it is at least as powerful as the [Qian Yang True Fire]. It should be increased by one to two percent.
Don't underestimate this 20%, this is an increase for a top level fire magic power!
