The boundless sea of sand, under the nameless sand dunes.
However, Zhou Yang was said to be hiding under the sand dunes to recuperate and recover. Naturally, he did not know how much worry his hiding had brought to his family.
There is no spiritual vein here in the sand dune. To restore his mana, he can only hold the spiritual stone in his hand to absorb the spiritual power in the spiritual stone and refine it into mana. Naturally, this speed cannot be compared with the third-level spiritual vein.
If he was using third-level spiritual veins, he would be able to recover all his mana in just one day, but if he absorbed low-level spiritual stones, he would not be able to succeed without a day or two of effort.
However, mana recovery is only a trivial matter, and it doesn't matter if it takes more time.
For Zhou Yang, the most uncomfortable thing is the irreversible loss of essence and blood.
He used the "Blood Escape Technique" to escape and consumed more than 20% of his blood essence at once, but taking the "Purple Jade Heart-Building Pill" only restored less than 10%.
Now, the loss of more than 10% of his essence and blood has become the source of his discomfort.
You must know that essence and blood are the foundation of a monk. Damage to essence and blood will affect all aspects.
The most intuitive expression is that Zhou Yang's original image of a prosperous and handsome man has now turned into a pale and languid image of a sick scholar due to excessive loss of essence and blood. Anyone can tell at a glance that this person is physically ill.
The lost essence and blood cannot be replenished in a day, and his cultivation level will not be able to improve even a single inch in a day. At the same time, he can no longer engage in fierce and long-term magic fights. It is best not to do anything that consumes mana.
Otherwise, once the excessive consumption of mana affects the injury and reduces the vitality, it will be more difficult to make up for it in the future, and may even leave injuries that cannot be healed for a lifetime.
Originally, at this time, the best way to deal with it was to go back to your own cave, close the cave and retreat for a few years to slowly regain your strength.
Unfortunately, for him now, this condition is simply unrealistic.
The sand dune had no spiritual veins and was not a place to recuperate at all. He did not dare to enter a deep retreat state in such a place without any formation protection.
Therefore, his original plan was to stay temporarily for two days to recover his mana, and then return to Baisha River Oasis to find recovery strategies after his mana was restored.
But he never expected that Chen Pingzhi, who abandoned him and ran away, did not escape with his life in the end and died in the vast sea of sand.
So when the ancestor of the Chen family cast the "Earth-shaking Relative Seeking Curse" and took Zhou Xuanhao to the sky above the sand dune where he was hiding, he was alarmed by the majestic aura of the Zifu period monk and thought it was the sand dune where he was hiding.
The master from the Zifu period among the bandits came after him. His already pale face instantly turned pale again, and his eyes showed a look of despair.
Then, with a desperate look on his face, he was about to risk his life and use the "Blood Escape Technique" again to escape, when his father Zhou Xuanhao's shout reached his ears in time.
"Where is my son Zhou Yang? My father is here to find you. Come out and meet your father!"
Is it my father's voice?
In the underground secret room, Zhou Yang, who was casting a spell, shook his hands, almost thinking that he was hallucinating due to the loss of essence and blood.
It was not until he heard Zhou Xuanhao's shouts one after another that he was sure that he had heard correctly. He was surprised and happy and quickly escaped from the underground secret room and came to the ground.
When he got to the ground, he saw the ancestor of the Chen family and his father Zhou Xuanhao standing in the sky with swords hanging in the air. Zhou Yang's heart was lifted, and he finally put it back in his stomach.
"Junior Zhou Yang, I have met Senior Chen."
The cultivation and identity of the ancestor of the Chen family were there. Zhou Yang did not dare to be rude, so he could only bow and salute him, and then saluted his father Zhou Xuanhao, who was looking at him with excitement and excitement on his face: "
The child has seen his father."
He was very polite. Even if the ancestor of the Chen family was in a bad mood now, he would not be able to get angry directly. He could only look at him with a straight face and ask: "I don't need these common etiquette. I want to ask you, you and Pingzhi
We went out on an adventure together, why are you the only one here now? What happened during your expedition?"
Zhou Xuanhao on the side heard his question and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something through a message, but a huge power of divine consciousness directly isolated him.
Needless to say, it was obviously the ancestor of the Chen family who took action to prevent him from colluding with Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was not a party to this situation that occurred at the level of spiritual consciousness, and could not discover anything. Moreover, in his opinion, the question of the ancestor of the Chen family was not difficult to answer.
What's more, he also has resentment towards Chen Pingzhi for leaving him and running away alone. Now that the ancestor of the Chen family has taken the initiative to ask, don't blame him for complaining.
Immediately, he started talking about how the two discovered the "Thousand Machines Cave", how they fought against the puppet beast, how they distributed the harvest in the cave, and how Chen Pingzhi asked for help after being attacked by someone, and how he greeted him later.
He told me everything about leaving him and running away without saying a word.
He asked himself that he had nothing to do with Chen Pingzhi during this expedition, so when he said these words, there was no hesitation. It could be said that he said it all in one go, without any falsehood.
However, he only said that Chen Pingzhi left him and escaped alone. He did not say much about how he fought against the two bandits and how he used the "blood escape technique" to escape.
The ancestor of the Chen family listened to his story, and his face did not change at all. Only when Zhou Yang mentioned that Chen Pingzhi left him and ran away alone, his eyes moved slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
When Zhou Yang finished speaking, he had not said anything. Zhou Xuanhao, who had also listened to Zhou Yang's story, was already anxiously shouting for his son's injustice: "Senior Chen, you have heard it. Yang'er definitely did not do anything he did.
Anything that feels sorry for Senior Pingzhi, or the death of Senior Pingzhi, has nothing to do with him!"
Chen Pingzhi is dead!
Zhou Yang looked stunned, finally knowing why the ancestor of the Chen family appeared here, and then his face suddenly turned ugly.
If Chen Pingzhi was still alive, what he just said would be enough to explain to the Chen family.
But Chen Pingzhi died!
After Chen Pingzhi's death, even if the ancestor of the Chen family believed that what he just said was not false, he would definitely not be relieved like this.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Xuanhao cry out for Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Chen family couldn't help but glared at him, and said in a cold voice: "I'm not deaf, and I can still hear the sound clearly. I don't need you, a junior, to teach me how to do it."
work!"
Zhou Xuanhao was so frightened by his glare that he trembled all over. He quickly lowered his flying sword and dropped it to the ground, bowed deeply and said, "Junior doesn't dare. Just now, junior collided with senior recklessly. Senior, please calm down."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang was also shocked. He couldn't help but blurt out loudly: "Senior Chen, one person is responsible for the work. This matter has nothing to do with my father. You want to investigate the death of senior Pingzhi. I can fully cooperate with you.
Please don’t involve the younger generation’s family.”
"Oh, you father and son have a deep love for each other. To say this seems like I am being unkind and bullying the younger ones!" The ancestor of the Chen family sneered, with a hint of annoyance in his words.
What's going on?
The Chen family has lost a foundation-building monk and has become an unreasonable party?
"Juniors don't dare!"
Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Yang, father and son, felt their hearts skip a beat and lowered their heads deeply, not daring to say another word.
The anger of the monks in the Zifu period is not something that the two monks on the first level of the foundation building can bear. If the ancestor of the Chen family is really angered, they will not be able to reap the benefits.
Fortunately, the ancestor of the Chen family was in the late Zifu period after all, and had been practicing for hundreds of years, so he still had the ability to control himself.
Seeing that the two of them had admitted their mistakes and relented, he did not pursue the rude remarks made by the two of them just now. He just looked at Zhou Yang with sharp eyes and asked sternly: "Boy from the Zhou family, let me ask you this, you said that Chen Pingzhi left you alone.
What proof is there for escaping? And why didn’t you finish what you just said? Why did you hide your escape?”
prove?
Who can prove it to yourself?
Bandits?
Zhou Yang's face turned bitter, unable to answer the question of the ancestor of the Chen family.
In fact, both the Chen family ancestor and him knew that it was impossible for a witness to testify in such a matter. The Chen family ancestor's intention in asking him this question was not to ask him to find a witness to testify, but had other intentions.
However, if the ancestor of the Chen family brought up the matter, it would be equivalent to confirming what the other party said before, and it would be suspected of bullying the small, so the other party would use this method to hint that he raised it himself.
But for him, once he brings up that matter, it means that his body and his secrets may be exposed to others. This is something that is very difficult for him to accept, and few immortal cultivators can accept it.
this matter.
He was unwilling to answer, but the ancestor of the Chen family would not see him delaying like this, so he couldn't help but ask: "What? Are you unwilling to answer me, or are you just making up what you said before?"
"Ancestor..." Zhou Xuanhao looked at Zhou Yang who lowered his head and said nothing. He couldn't help but say something to defend his son. Unfortunately, as soon as he spoke, he was overwhelmed by the majestic aura exuding from the ancestor of the Chen family.
I forced myself to hold it back.
"Did I let you speak?"
The ancestor of the Chen family glanced at him sharply, and the warning was already obvious.
Zhou Xuanhao, a dignified foundation-building monk, did not dare to take a breath at this time. He could only lower his head dejectedly, not daring to say another word.
When Zhou Yang saw this scene, he was shocked and angry. How could he want to see his father being humiliated for him again?
He looked up at the ancestor of the Chen family with a red face, and said loudly and resolutely: "Why are you so aggressive, ancestor? You want me to provide witness evidence, but I can't do it, but I can return to the Baisha River Oasis with my ancestor.
, and then in front of the seniors of Huang Shamen, accept the inquiry from the ancestor [Inquiry Skill] to prove that everything the junior said is true and has a clear conscience!"
"Okay, you said this yourself, don't go back on it then!"
The ancestor of the Chen family looked at him deeply, but this time he did not care about his verbal conflict.
He is forcing people like this, why can't he still make people feel a little emotional?
As long as he can achieve his goal, he still doesn't care about this little detail.
