After confirming that [Tongtian Demon King] could indeed make effective repairs to the secret space, Taoist Lan's agreement with him was concluded.
Zhou Yang could therefore relax and do other things.
After he returned from the secret space, he asked his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and others to guard the two spiritual mountains that were being upgraded to avoid any accidents, and then he went to the far west to attend the appointment in the Immortal Cultivation World alone.
This time he went to the far western land to cultivate immortality. When Zhou Yang passed by the [Death Sand Sea], he made a special trip to see the space crack.
What disappointed and shocked him was that even though the power of the world's origins converged on the boundless sand sea, causing earth-shattering changes in the sand sea, it could not have any impact on the space crack.
What did this space crack look like thousands of years ago, and what it still looks like now.
Zhou Yang could not imagine what kind of powerful force was affecting this space crack, allowing it to resist the laws of the entire world for thousands of years and never healed.
He stared deeply at the crack in the space that still exuded demonic energy from time to time, suppressed the doubts and shock in his heart, turned around and left the place.
After passing through the [Death Sand Sea], Zhou Yang slowed down and observed the sand sea he passed along the way, and then found that there were already many monks from the far western world of immortality moving around here, and some had formed oases.
There are even monks who have set up formations to guard the place.
However, Zhou Yang also discovered that the monks currently operating in this sea of sand are mainly casual cultivators and those small cultivating families.
It seems that the sects and big families under the Great Light Immortal Palace and the [Backlight Alliance] have not yet settled here, or that they have not entered the territory openly and openly.
It can be seen from this that neither of the two major forces currently want to fight again over such a place with unknown potential.
This is actually good news for Zhou Yang.
From his point of view, a boundless sea of sand cultivation world is enough for the Zhou family to develop and utilize for many years.
At this time, a peaceful external environment is extremely important to the Zhou family.
If the two superpowers of Great Light Immortal Palace and [Counter-Light Alliance] go to war, no matter who wins or loses, it will not be a good thing for the Zhou family.
If one party destroys the other and dominates the world of immortality in the far west, it will be a big bad thing for the Zhou family.
Therefore, Zhou Yang felt quite good after discovering this.
And when he thought about what he might encounter when he went to the Great Light Immortal Palace this time, he felt better.
Of course he knew exactly why Yin Hanguang invited him to the Great Guangming Immortal Palace.
If we were just signing a non-aggression pact, there would be no need to invite him with such fanfare.
It's just that Yin Hanguang is about to expire, and he doesn't want his position as palace master to be taken over by someone from Elder Lin's line after his death, so he wants to repeat what happened when he won the position of palace master.
.
In the past, Zhou Yang didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing because he was worried that the matter might fail, causing him and the Zhou family to suffer the consequences.
But now, even if it wasn't for the drop of [Fairy Jade Dew] that Yin Hanguang had promised, he would be happy to use this opportunity to weaken some of the strength of the Great Light Fairy Palace.
What's more, for him, his relationship with the Great Guangming Immortal Palace is entirely tied to Yin Hanguang.
If Yin Hanguang passes away and the person who succeeds him as palace master is not a monk of his lineage, it is hard to say whether the Great Guangming Immortal Palace will have the same good attitude towards the Zhou family who dominate the boundless sand sea of immortality in the future.
one thing.
Now that he has the opportunity to determine who the next master of the Immortal Palace will be, Zhou Yang is certainly not willing to gamble on this unknown possibility.
He traveled all the way west, and soon arrived not far from the mountain gate of the Great Bright Immortal Palace. Then he was not in a hurry to worship the mountain, but privately sent a messenger flying sword to Yin Hanguang.
As expected by Zhou Yang, after Yin Hanguang received his summons Feijian, he did not let him directly go to the mountain gate to worship the mountain openly. Instead, he asked him to hide his cultivation and identity and follow a golden elixir monk who came to greet him to enter quietly.
Inside the mountain gate of Great Light Immortal Palace.
Following the Jindan monk who led the way and sneaking into the mountain gate, Zhou Yang was not taken to the cave of Yin Hanguang's palace master. Instead, he met Yin Hanguang waiting here in an ordinary cave on the mountainside.
At this time, Yin Hanguang's appearance was as old as that of an old man. His hair was gray, his face was sagging and wrinkled, and he was almost exhausted.
After seeing the handsome and handsome Zhou Yang, he actually felt slightly absent-minded, and a trace of envy that could not be concealed flashed in his eyes.
After a long time passed like this, he came back to his senses with a lonely expression, smiled bitterly at Zhou Yang and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhou is here. If you don't come again, Yin will have to send someone to urge you."
Friend!"
"Some matters were not handled until a few months ago, but Daoyou Yin has been kept waiting for a long time."
Zhou Yang shook his head slightly and explained casually, not wanting to go into too much detail.
He didn't want to say it, but of course Yin Hanguang wouldn't be ignorant and asked more questions, so he immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you come now, it's still too late. Yin can still do it if he can hold on for a few more years."
"Has Fellow Daoist Yin really made your decision? You must know that once you take this step, there is no turning back. A few years later, this matter may become the biggest stain in Fellow Daoist's life!"
Zhou Yang looked at Yin Hanguang with a serious face and said in a very solemn tone.
"Yin has been thinking about this for a hundred years, and finally felt that he had to do it. If he didn't do it, Yin would die in peace!"
"As for talking about your posthumous reputation, if you can't enjoy it while you're alive, what's the point of talking about it after you die!"
After Yin Hanguang said these words with a cold expression, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yang meaningfully and said: "Besides, for fellow Taoist Zhou, this matter is beneficial and not harmful, right?"
They are all smart people, and there is no need to hide anything from anyone.
How could Yin Hanguang not know what Zhou Yang and the Zhou family had planned?
So what if it's just clear.
If he still had five or six hundred years of life left to activate the [Skull of Light], a seventh-level immortal weapon, he would certainly not have agreed to Zhou Yang's conditions so easily before and given the Zhou family such great convenience.
But now that he is about to die, even if he has the intention to do so, he is unable to achieve it.
What's more, for him, the person he hates the most right now is the fellow disciple who made him waste five hundred years of life without fully fulfilling his merits.
Zhou Yang said that he was not afraid of stains that could not be washed away in the future, but he did not know how regretful and angry he felt when he was unable to take advantage of the situation and destroy the [Backlight Alliance] at once.
For him, since some people don't want him to become the most glorious palace master in the Immortal Palace for thousands of years and let him die with such glorious achievements and legends, then he would rather bear the eternal infamy after death than let that villain
All calculations failed, he died in front of him!
They are all smart people, and Zhou Yang also understood what Yin Hanguang meant, so he did not pretend to persuade him, but asked directly and neatly: "When will Fellow Daoist Yin plan to take action? How will he take action?"
"In half a year, Yin will call all the elders back to the palace for discussion in the name of confirming the next palace master. It will be a good time to see who truly supports Yin and who has already had other ideas!"
"At that time, Fellow Daoist Zhou's mission is to capture this old man Lin Laogou on the spot with a thunderous force, and Yin will take care of the rest!"
Yin Hanguang stated his plan in a cold tone, his words full of chilling air.
Capturing alive a seventh-level Nascent Soul monk holding a seventh-level immortal weapon [Eye of Light] is really difficult.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but glance at Yin Hanguang, who had a cold expression, and wondered whether the other party already knew about his defeat and sparing of Jin Baisheng.
However, since there was no evidence for this matter, he could not directly ask the question, so he answered immediately: "There is no problem for Zhou to take down Elder Lin, but should the [Fairy Spirit Jade Dew] promised by Fellow Daoist Yin be fulfilled?
"
Hearing his words, Yin Hanguang suddenly said with an unhappy look on his face: "What do you mean by fellow Taoist Zhou? Is it possible that fellow Taoist Zhou is still worried that Yin will deceive fellow Taoist?"
"It's not that I don't believe in Fellow Daoist Yin, it's just that Zhou Yang has always been careful in his conduct and work. If he can get this benefit in advance, he will naturally be more motivated to do things well and do them beautifully."
Zhou Yang smiled and didn't care whether Yin Hanguang's attitude was good or not.
Seeing this, Yin Hanguang's face could not help but change from green to red, and it continued like this for a while before he finally nodded and said: "Okay, since fellow Taoist Zhou has said so, in order to make fellow Taoist Taoist feel at ease and do his best to help, Yin Hanguang
I will give [Fairy Spirit Jade Dew] to Taoist friends first, Taoist friends, please keep it."
After saying that, he threw a jade bottle containing a drop of [Fairy Jade Dew] to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang took the jade bottle, opened the cork and inspected it carefully. After confirming that it was the [Fairy Jade Dew] he had taken once last time, he put it away with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist Yin is so happy. Then Zhou will be waiting for fellow Taoist to call you."
For the next six months, Zhou Yang has been hiding in this ordinary golden elixir monk's cave, waiting patiently for the day when Yin Hanguang takes action.
On the day mentioned by Yin Hanguang, all the elders in the Nascent Soul Stage of Great Guangming Immortal Palace, a total of twelve elders, gathered at the mountain gate to discuss the selection of the next palace master with the master of the Immortal Palace.
According to the rules of the Great Bright Immortal Palace, except that the current Palace Master can nominate any Nascent Soul Stage elder to run for the next palace master, the other Yuanying Stage elders who want to participate in the palace master competition must obtain the support of three elders in advance.
, to gain the right to stand for election.
If there are several candidates at the same time, then the current Palace Master and all the elders will vote together to decide the next Palace Master, but the Palace Master has three votes.
Under this mechanism, the candidates nominated by the Palace Master undoubtedly have a great advantage.
After all, the fact that the current palace master can ascend to the position of palace master means that he has the support of most of the elders of the elders group.
As for the successor he nominated, in addition to receiving his three votes, he would also naturally get votes from the elders who had supported him in the first place.
Yin Hanguang was nominated by the previous palace master "Zhenhua Zhenren" because of his great achievements in retrieving the [Eye of Light], an immortal artifact inherited from the sect, and finally succeeded in taking the throne of the palace master of the Great Light Immortal Palace.
But before he retrieved the [Eye of Light], the sect's inherited fairy weapon, "Zhenren Chihua" actually preferred Elder Lin. It could almost be said that Elder Lin had been appointed to succeed the Immortal Palace Master.
Well, many immortal palace elders also walked with Elder Lin in advance.
Yin Hanguang made an unexpected move and took away Elder Lin's almost default position as Palace Master. It's no wonder that Elder Lin held such a grudge against him and would rather give up the cultivation of the Immortal Palace to unify the far west.
The possibility of the immortal world would not allow him, Yin Hanguang, to accomplish such extraordinary feats.
And this time Yin Hanguang chose the successor of the palace lord again. Even though he knew that even if he took the position of palace lord, he could only sit for two or three hundred years, this elder Lin did not hesitate to risk all his wealth to win over the other elders and insist on destroying Yin Hanguang.
plan.
It can be said that he succeeded.
Because when Yin Hanguang named his nominee, an elder with only the fifth level of Nascent Soul cultivation, only four people in the twelve-member elder group, including the nominated elder, voted in favor.
These four votes plus the three votes in Yin Hanguang's hand make seven votes.
The remaining eight people, including Elder Lin, all voted for Elder Lin.
Eight to seven, Elder Lin won the election by just one vote.
But after Elder Lin won the victory, before he had time to celebrate happily or ridicule Yin Hanguang for his incompetence, Yin Hanguang crushed the jade communication talisman he had been holding in his hand.
In a moment, Zhou Yang, who had been waiting outside, rushed into the meeting hall in an instant, and used the [Fire Lotus Eyes] magical power with lightning speed to seriously injure the elder Lin, and then put him into the [Qianyang Gold]
The tower was suppressed.
With the cooperation of Yin Hanguang's formation in removing the meeting hall, all this was completed in a flash, and the whole process took less than ten breaths.
Those elders who supported Elder Lin never expected that Yin Hanguang would dare to take action inside the mountain gate at the risk of serious consequences.
What he didn't even expect was that Zhou Yang could in the blink of an eye inflict serious injuries on Elder Lin, who was in possession of the seventh-level immortal weapon [Eye of Light].
By the time they recovered from this shocking incident, the situation was already extremely unfavorable to them.
After losing Elder Lin as their leader, even though they still have seven Nascent Soul monks and one late Nascent Soul monk, they have no chance of winning against the combination of Yin Hanguang and Zhou Yang.
"All the elders are important figures in the Immortal Palace and are the most elite part of the Immortal Palace. The loss of any one of them is a bad news to the Immortal Palace. Therefore, please do not act rashly, so as not to cause any embarrassment to both parties.
Tragedy happens!"
"Yin hereby promises to all the elders that as long as all the elders forget the unpleasantness that happened today and swear to support the new palace master and continue to serve the Immortal Palace, today's events will be treated as if they never happened, and no one will pursue today's case under any excuse.
thing!"
In the meeting hall, Yin Hanguang's eyes swept across all the elders of the Immortal Palace, and he spoke out his plan with a majestic expression, showing the style of a winner.
