Side Story 23: Meeting Old Knows in a Foreign Land
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since Zhou Yang used the pseudonym "Hanmul" to infiltrate the Ziyao tribe of the "Fire Crystal Tribe".
During these ten years, he kept a low profile and rarely left his place of cultivation.
All the behaviors are consistent with the situation of a person who is wanted by a large tribe.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Zhou Yang knows this very well.
What's more, Dongzhen Xianting did not set a time limit for him to complete the task. As long as he could complete the task before the eighth-level saint from the Ziyao tribe attacked the ninth level, it would not be considered a failure.
So under this premise, Zhou Yang could not be too careful no matter what.
After ten years of lurking, Zhou Yang had a better understanding of the situation of the Ziyao tribe. At least he had found out the names of all the seventh-level sages and eighth-level saints of the Ziyao tribe, and knew the names of most of them. The public information is available in more detail.
Through the analysis of this information, Zhou Yang also knew where he should focus his efforts next.
He decided to find a new backer for himself, one with stronger cultivation and background.
Chidar, the sage of the Ziyao tribe, is just an existence similar to the scattered immortals in the human fairyland, and does not have much sense of existence in the Ziyao tribe.
It is undoubtedly impossible to spy on the news through him.
Therefore, Zhou Yang can only use him as a springboard, a springboard that allows him to reasonably enter the higher level of the Ziyao tribe.
If Zhou Yang wanted to do this among the human race, it would be quite troublesome.
But the "Flame Crystal Tribe" is different. Compared to the human race, and even compared to the demon tribe, the "Flame Crystal Tribe" advocates the law of the jungle and the strong, and worships the strong.
So as long as Zhou Yang is a member of the Ziyao tribe, he wants to follow the more powerful sages of the Ziyao tribe. This is a very common thing in the cultural customs of the "Yanjing Tribe".
Of course, this premise is that he can successfully enter the eyes of a sage stronger than Chidar and be accepted by him as one of his followers.
And this is naturally not a problem for Zhou Yang.
Even if he can't use those fairy weapons, he can't use those commonly used magical powers.
His true level of cultivation is enough to make him an almost invincible existence among the sixth-level venerables.
So after some preparations, Zhou Yang left the practice place arranged for him by Sage Chidar and quietly rushed to the central area of the Ziyao tribe.
This has been a long and arduous journey.
Although the "Fire Crystal Clan" also has the kind of teleportation array across the Immortal Realm, if a sixth-level venerable like Zhou Yang, who has no big background, wants to ride on this teleportation array, he needs a guarantee certificate issued by a seventh-level sage.
Sage Chidar would definitely not issue him such a guarantee certificate.
Therefore, he could only fly on his own and save some time with the help of some ordinary remote teleportation arrays.
As a result, Zhou Yang spent almost seven years simply rushing.
That is to say, Zhou Yang was used to traveling long distances for more than ten or twenty years before. Otherwise, when he first came to the True Immortal Realm, he would have found it hard to bear this waste of time.
After nearly seven years of traveling, he finally arrived at the prosperous place of the Ziyao tribe, a place called "Amethyst Tianyuan".
In terms of terrain, "Amethyst Tianyuan" is a plateau area with an extremely high altitude. This place is rich in many high-quality fire-attribute materials, and it is a very suitable place for the people of the "Fire Crystal Clan" to practice.
There are more than fifty seventh-level sages from the Ziyao tribe, and more than 20 of them have settled on the "Amethyst Tianyuan", and two eighth-level saints live in seclusion here to practice.
This is the true core area of the Ziyao tribe.
After Zhou Yang arrived at the "Amethyst Heavenly Plains", he easily entered the Amethyst Heavenly City built here by the Ziyao tribe.
There are no less than tens of millions of monks and mortals from the Purple Crystal Celestial City living in this Amethyst Celestial City. It is more like a giant settlement than a city.
It is worth mentioning that just like mortals in the human race who want to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, they need to have spiritual root qualifications.
If the mortals of the "Fire Crystal Clan" want to embark on the path of cultivation, they also need to possess "spiritual light", which can be compared to the spiritual roots of human monks.
In terms of proportion, the proportion of mortals from the "Fire Crystal Clan" who can embark on the path of cultivation is actually not as good as that of the human race.
But the "Fire Crystal Tribe" also has their advantages, that is, the survival adaptability of the mortals of the "Fire Crystal Tribe" is stronger than that of the human race, and they can survive in many places where even the human race cannot survive.
At the same time, their diet is wider than that of humans, and they can even eat and digest some poisonous plants and animal meat that humans cannot eat.
After Zhou Yang entered the Amethyst Heavenly City at this time, he also had some curiosity and started shopping in the monk shops in the city that sold cultivation items.
After wandering around like this, Zhou Yang was surprised to find that the "Fire Crystal Clan" actually had very unique insights into alchemy, and in some aspects it was even much better than the human alchemists he had seen.
The alchemy technique of the "Fire Crystal Tribe" does not refine medicines into pill-shaped elixirs commonly used by immortal cultivators, but generally uses three forms of crystals, ointments, and powders as finished products.
Not many of these drugs are taken directly. Many of them are in line with the "Yanjing Tribe's" own practice system and are used for external application and absorption.
Even many drugs that can improve cultivation can be used in combination with multiple drugs to superimpose each other to increase the effect and produce a stronger effect.
These methods of dispensing medicine are very rare in the human monk system and are difficult to implement.
The system of cultivating immortals focuses on the word "pure". Any medicine that may cause one's magic power to be impure is equivalent to poison.
However, under the cultivation system of the "Fire Crystal Clan", the requirements for "purity" are not as high as those of immortal cultivators, especially in the early and middle stages of cultivation.
In short, the alchemy skills of the "Fire Crystal Clan" really opened Zhou Yang's eyes and gave him the idea of learning.
However, apart from alchemy refining, the other skills of the "Fire Crystal Tribe" are quite lagging behind.
Just like magic weapons, "Fire Crystal Clan" monks rarely use magic weapons, and only some high-level monks own so many magic weapons.
For the rest, such as spiritual talismans and formations, the skills of the "Fire Crystal Clan" are also extremely backward, not even as good as those of the Demon Clan.
Zhou Yang feels that the backwardness of these skills is probably related to the fact that these skills are not particularly useful under the "Fire Crystal Clan" cultivation system, and also because the "Flaming Crystal Clan" monks cannot learn these well.
Because it is now recognized in the true immortal world that the cultivation system of human immortal cultivators is the most balanced, stable and powerful system.
There may be some alien cultivation systems that can be better than the immortal cultivation system in some aspects, but overall they are definitely far inferior to the human cultivation system.
If not for this, the human race would not be the most powerful race in the True Immortal Realm now.
After walking around in Amethyst Heavenly City, Zhou Yang opened his eyes and at the same time found out a piece of news that he wanted to know.
In three years, the "Holy Glory Festival" held by the Ziyao tribe every thousand years will be held in the Amethyst Heavenly City. At that time, many seventh-level sages who practice on the "Amethyst Heavenly Plains" will come here to attend the "Holy Glory Festival"
”.
And every time at the "Holy Yao Festival", some sixth-level sages of the Ziyao tribe, like Zhou Yang, who want to change their followers, can gain the attention of a certain seventh-level sage of the Ziyao tribe by showing off their skills or strength.
, become its follower.
Zhou Yang was preparing to show off his skills at this "Holy Glory Festival" in order to gain the respect of a powerful seventh-level sage.
But this is also his preliminary plan, which is based on the situation that there is no strong person from the "Fire Crystal Clan" with very high cultivation level attending this "Holy Glory Festival".
If there is a strong person from the "Fire Crystal Tribe" who is very advanced and can see through his disguise, then he will have no choice but to cancel this plan.
However, generally speaking, this possibility is not high.
After all, it is just a "Holy Glory Festival" held once in a thousand years. Those strong men of the "Fire Crystal Clan" who have begun to overcome the three disasters are unlikely to be interested in this kind of activity, and it is even less likely for the eighth-level saints.
In the next three years, Zhou Yang lived in the Amethyst Heavenly City while traveling around to find out information about the sages who were sure to attend the "Holy Glory Festival".
After all, he is now a sixth-level high-grade venerable. In terms of cultivation strength, he is also in the upper class in Amethyst Heavenly City.
It is not difficult to collect some relatively public information.
In less than a year, Zhou Yang not only got the information he wanted to know, but even volunteered to join the guard group of this "Holy Glory Festival".
After the month when the "Holy Glory Festival" was about to begin, the seventh-level sages who were practicing on the "Amethyst Heavenly Plain" rushed to the Amethyst Heavenly City one after another.
It can be said that these seventh-level sages are not low-key at all. When each one arrives, they must make a big noise to announce their existence.
Zhou Yang looked at the arriving seventh-level sages in the crowd, secretly looking for his target.
On this day, a clear phoenix cry suddenly resounded over the Amethyst Celestial City, and then a dazzling crimson fire quickly flew towards the Amethyst Celestial City from far to near.
When the group of vermilion fire approached, the many "Yanjing Clan" monks who had been attracted by the sound of phoenix and turned their eyes here suddenly saw a scene that shocked them.
I saw a Suzaku Firebird with a body length of several hundred feet, pulling a purple-red flaming speeder through the air. A powerful aura rose from the Suzaku Firebird and the flaming speeder behind, which was daunting.
"What kind of bird is that? The breath is so powerful!"
Near Zhou Yang, a sixth-level venerable from the Ziyao Tribe looked at the Suzaku Firebird with surprise on his face, and asked in a low voice.
Obviously, not many people in the "Yanjing Clan" know about true spirits like the Suzaku Firebird.
But they are now in Amethyst Heavenly City, the most prosperous place of the Ziyao tribe.
Some knowledgeable monks from the "Fire Crystal Clan" can still identify powerful true spirits like the Suzaku Firebird.
Therefore, someone soon said in a show-off manner: "That is the Suzaku Fire Bird. It is said to be a powerful bird from the Immortal Clan, with strength comparable to that of a seventh-level sage."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look envious and sighed: "The Sage of Havana is indeed the direct disciple of the Holy Sage. He can even tame such a powerful bird into a mount. It's really awe-inspiring!"
But when Zhou Yang heard these words, his expression suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.
Naturally, he saw the origin of the scarlet firebird at the first glance.
He even recognized the identity of the Suzaku Firebird.
If he saw it correctly, the Suzaku Firebird pulling the cart was Zhu Zizhen who had ascended to the True Immortal Realm with him!
Back then, he, Dragon Saint of the East China Sea, Thunder Feather True Spirit, Tong Tianling, Zhu Zizhen and other immortals and four demons broke through the "Linghuan Realm" and ascended at the same time. However, they were chased by an eighth-level chaotic beast in the chaotic void.
, in the end they can only escape for their lives.
Over the years, because Zhou Yang had never heard any news about the other four demons, he once thought that all four demons had died in the chaotic void.
He didn't want him to see Zhu Zizhen, who had been separated from him, in this "Fire Crystal Clan" now.
Obviously, judging from what Zhou Yang sees now, Zhu Zi's condition is really very bad.
The majestic Suzaku True Spirit was actually enslaved by a seventh-level saint from the "Fire Crystal Tribe" and turned into a cart-pulling animal.
If the Suzaku True Spirits and Suzaku True Sages of the demon clan knew about this news, they would probably be so angry that they would come over and burn the "Havana" sage to ashes!
Even Zhou Yang, after seeing this situation, couldn't help but have the idea of rescuing his friend.
After all, they were friends for many years, and Zhu Zi really helped him a lot when he was weak in cultivation.
Now that he sees the other party in trouble, it would be too heartless and unreasonable for him to just watch with cold eyes and be completely indifferent.
But it would be very difficult for him to save people.
The "Havana" sage is a seventh-level high-grade cultivation, which is equivalent to the cultivation of the late-stage Tribulation.
If Zhou Yang wants to rescue Zhu Zizhen from him, he must expose his own cultivation.
Then it would be difficult to complete his mission to the "Fire Crystal Clan".
Therefore, the matter of rescuing people must be considered in the long run, and it must not affect Zhou Yang's mission of spying on the news.
"But since Fellow Daoist Zhu was enslaved by Havana and became a mount, it also means that Havana won't have much defense against her. Can we use this to try to get information from Havana?"
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, feeling that he had found a new path.
Next, Zhou Yang did not rush to contact Zhu Zizhen, but calmly waited for the "Shengyao Festival" to begin.
As a result, everything was in line with Zhou Yang's wishes. Although there were as many as thirteen seventh-level sages of the Ziyao tribe attending this "Holy Yao Festival", the one with the highest cultivation level was the "Havana" sage.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang decisively stepped on the stage and performed a show of strength, defeating six sixth-level sages of the Ziyao tribe one after another. With this, he successfully caught the eye of the "Havana" sage and was accepted as a follower.
The strong men of the "Fire Crystal Clan" are very high-profile and always like to show off their strength in various ways, including powerful and gorgeous travel tools, magnificent palaces, and even a large number of followers.
Just like this "Havana" sage, he has more than 60 sixth-level sages under his command. Every time he travels, most of them will accompany him to highlight his existence.
Therefore, for Zhou Yang, becoming a follower of the "Havana" sage is only a small step towards the success of his plan.
How to gain the trust of the "Havana" sage and become his confidant is the focus of his next step.
The place of cultivation of the sage "Havana" is a place rich in spiritual energy above the "Amethyst Heaven".
After the "Holy Yao Sacrifice" was over, Zhou Yang followed him back to the place of practice along with the many followers he brought, and then received a nearby cave as a reward.
But for the time being, that's it for Zhou Yang. He is a newly recruited follower in the "Holy Yao Festival" and has not made any achievements. It is impossible to get the special attention of the "Havana" sage.
Zhou Yang is not in a hurry. What he wants to find out most now is why Zhu Zizhen was captured and enslaved by the sage "Havana".
So after settling down, Zhou Yang began to make friends with the sixth-level sages who had long followed the "Havana" sage. He gave gifts and said good things, and tried every means to find out Zhu Zi's real situation.
After much inquiring, Zhou Yang almost knew what happened.
It turns out that about 800 years ago, Zhu Zizhen, who was seriously injured, suddenly appeared in the area of the Zi Yao tribe of the "Fire Crystal Clan" and killed several sixth-level venerables.
After the sage of "Havana" learned the news, he personally went to capture Zhu Zizhen.
As a result, just like Zhou Yang at that time, he was no match for the Immortal Guards of the Ascension Platform. Facing the "Havana" sage with a seventh-level high-grade cultivation level, Zhu Zizhen was no match at all.
After a fight between the two sides, she didn't even have a chance to escape, so she was severely wounded and captured by the "Havana" sage.
In the following hundreds of years, the sage of "Havana" has been trying every means to subdue Zhu Zizhen.
It was not until more than two hundred years ago that Zhu Zizhen was truly tamed by the sage "Havana" and agreed to become his mount.
This led to the scene where Zhou Yang saw the Suzaku dancing in the sky in the Amethyst Heavenly City.
After finding out all this, Zhou Yang could only sigh that Zhu Zi was really ill-fated.
He didn't know what Zhu Zi really went through before she met "Havana", but judging from the situation after she met "Havana", it was obvious that her luck was really bad.
In comparison, although he didn't have an easy time when he entered the True Immortal Realm, at least he was still free.
After inquiring about Zhu Zizhen's situation clearly, Zhou Yang thought about it carefully, but still did not contact him easily.
Now he is not sure what the relationship between Zhu Zizhen and the "Havana" sage is. If his contact with Zhu Zizhen is known by the "Havana" sage, his end will be in danger.
Zhou Yang planned to follow the predetermined plan and first become a confidant of the "Havana" sage, and then choose an opportunity to observe Zhu Zizhen's condition.
Only after he is sure that Zhu Zi is truly trustworthy can he inform the other party of his existence.
Time passed, and soon Zhou Yang had been lurking beside the sage in "Havana" for more than thirty years.
After thirty years of hiding, Zhou Yang finally became a close follower of the "Havana" sage through his unremitting efforts. Even the "Chidar" sage he had followed before knew that he had now become a "Havana"
The red man before the sage.
At this point, Zhou Yang has stood at the pinnacle of what his superficial cultivation can achieve.
If he wants to improve his status within the Ziyao tribe, he must "break through" and become a seventh-level sage.
But that is absolutely undesirable.
Because the rules of the Ziyao tribe are that newly promoted seventh-level sages must go to see the eighth-level saints and receive their teachings.
As long as Zhou Yang dares to show his face in front of the eighth-level saint, it is absolutely impossible to hide his true identity.
But with the identity of the sixth-level venerable, it is impossible to find out the whereabouts of the strongest saint in the Ziyao tribe.
Even if the sage "Havana" trusts Zhou Yang very much now, it is impossible to reveal such secrets to him.
Even whether the "Havana" sage himself knew about this is a matter of debate.
The situation has developed to this point, and Zhou Yang is undecided about what to do next.
But the good news is that after becoming a close confidant of the "Havana" sage, it became much easier for Zhou Yang to contact Zhu Zi.
And through his many contacts, it was basically certain that Zhu Zi was not forcibly enslaved by the sage from "Havana" using any secret technique.
She will serve as a mount for the sage "Havana". It should be some kind of contract between the two in private.
In this case, Zhu Zi really should still be trustworthy.
The premise is that when Zhou Yang contacts her, he must not be discovered by the "Havana" sage.
This is not difficult for Zhou Yang.
Because the "Havana" sage can no longer improve his cultivation level, he usually does not need to practice in seclusion at all. He often goes out for banquets or visits someone from time to time.
And he doesn't always take Zhu Zizhen there.
Zhou Yang only needs to wait for the "Havana" sage to be away from the cave and quietly contact Zhu Zizhen.
After waiting like this for another five years, Zhou Yang finally got this opportunity.
On this day, as a close entourage, he followed the "Havana" sage to a banquet with a seventh-level sage who was also practicing on the Amethyst Heaven.
For unknown reasons, this time the sage of "Havana" did not let Zhu Zizhen pull the speeding car to travel, but instead built a treasure ship.
Zhou Yang's real body was accompanying him on the treasure ship, but his incarnation was released long ago and hidden in the cave.
After he was sure that the treasure ship was far enough away, he used secret techniques to notify the incarnation.
Then his incarnation quietly took action.
The place where Zhu Zizhen currently lives is on top of a giant tree where the Sage Cave is located in "Havana".
Although the "Havana" sage also arranged a formation around the giant tree, with the formation level of the "Fire Crystal Tribe", the formation he arranged was useless compared to Zhou Yang.
What Zhou Yang really needs to guard against is the "Havana" sage staying on top of the giant tree to monitor the real incarnation and spiritual pets of the emperor.
Because of the existence of these monitors, Zhou Yang was bound to be unable to appear directly in front of Zhu Zizhen to talk to him.
But fortunately, this incarnation of him has the ability to control thousands of trees, can communicate with vegetation, and borrow shapes from trees.
I saw Zhu Zi actually lying in the bird's nest on the giant tree and practicing.
Suddenly she frowned and couldn't help but look down at the branches below her.
A branch that didn't exist suddenly reached into her bird's nest and stabbed her body.
And just when she lowered her head to look at the branch, a line of small words suddenly appeared on the branch.
"Does Fellow Daoist Zhu still remember Qianyang in the Linghuan Realm?"
Seeing this line of small characters, Zhu Zizhen's eyes flashed with a trance at first.
Then his expression was shocked, and his eyes instantly showed a look of great excitement.
She knew the origin of Zhou Yang's incarnation. Looking at the branch now, she immediately understood where it came from.
After Zhou Yang's secret incarnation discovered Zhu Zizhen's emotional change, he immediately realized that his goal had been achieved.
So a new line of text quickly appeared on the branch.
"Fellow Taoist Zhu reflected his own experience here. Zhou will contact fellow Taoist Zhu later and tell him how to escape."
As the text appears, a branch emerges that can temporarily serve as a carrier of information.
Seeing this, Zhu Zizhen immediately suppressed his excitement and imprinted all his experiences after being separated from Zhou Yang in the chaotic void into the branch, and was received by Zhou Yang's incarnation.
After receiving this information, a new line of fonts on the branch reappeared.
"Zhou's true form is now hiding among Havana's followers. Fellow Taoist Zhu can continue to be patient for now, and Zhou will contact fellow Taoist later."
After this line of font appeared, the branch quickly withered, and finally turned into an ordinary branch and fell into the bird's nest.
Zhu Zizhen looked at this scene, and the excitement in his eyes gradually dissipated.
She tilted her head and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, but she began to think about the purpose of Zhou Yang's appearance in the "Yanjing Clan".
She was not a fool, and of course she understood that Zhou Yang could not have come to rescue her after knowing that she had been captured by the "Havana" sage.
It can only be that Zhou Yang himself came to the "Fire Crystal Clan" with a special purpose, and then accidentally discovered her existence.
Now that Zhou Yang has contacted her, he is afraid that in addition to rescuing her, he also wants to use her to help him do things.
But even so, she still had to accept Zhou Yang's favor.
Because without Zhou Yang's help, she would have no hope of getting rid of the enslavement of the "Havana" sage on her own.
So in the following days, Zhu Zi really looked forward to it day and night, hoping that Zhou Yang would contact him again and tell him the plan to rescue him.
As for Zhou Yang, after accompanying the "Havana" sage to the banquet for half a month, his body returned to the cave and received the information transmitted by Zhu Zizhen from the incarnation.
After reading this information, he realized that Zhu Zi's luck was much worse than he imagined.
It turns out that after they separated in the void of chaos, Zhu Zizhen also embarked on the road to the true immortal world alone.
There were many stumblings along the way. Although Zhu Zizhen was tortured by the chaotic beast, he was lucky enough to reach the True Immortal Realm.
But her luck ran out here.
When entering the True Immortal Realm, Zhu Zizhen did not settle in the Demon Clan region, nor in the Human Clan Immortal Realm, but settled in the territory of the "Fire Crystal Clan".
And as soon as she landed, she was discovered by two seventh-level sages from the "Fire Crystal Clan", who joined forces to fight her.
The final result was that Zhu Zizhen was unable to defeat four hands with two claws, and was injured by two seventh-level sages of the "Fire Crystal Clan". He had to hide in the underground magma to escape.
But before she could recover from her injuries in the underground magma, she encountered another ancient beast whose strength was comparable to a three-disaster level powerhouse, and had a battle with it.
As a result, she was severely injured again and had to escape from the underground magma to the ground.
And because of her fierce battle with the ancient beast, the powerful energy fluctuations attracted the seventh-level sage of the "Fire Crystal Tribe", causing Zhu Zizhen to be chased by another seventh-level sage for a long time.
Although she later escaped the pursuit of the seventh-level sage, she plunged into the territory of the Ziyao tribe and was discovered by the sixth-level sage of the Ziyao tribe who wanted to take advantage of her.
When she became angry and vented her anger on those sixth-level sages and killed many sages of the Ziyao tribe, she attracted the sage "Havana".
What happened next was just as Zhou Yang knew, she was eventually defeated and captured by the sage "Havana".
And the reason why she gave the "Havana" sage as a mount was indeed because she reached a contract with the "Havana" sage after being tortured unbearably.
Since she no longer takes the initiative to escape and provides transportation services for the "Havana" Sage, in exchange for the "Havana" Sage's guarantee of her life, she can no longer be tortured with any punishment.
The contract lasts until the "Havana" sage is promoted to the eighth-level saint or dies.
So if Zhou Yang wanted to help her out of trouble, it would be very simple.
Either forcefully take her away from the territory of the "Fire Crystal Clan" so that the "Havana" sage cannot find her.
Either kill the "Havana" sage and the contract will be automatically terminated.
"With Havana's love of showing off, he will definitely show off everywhere after getting Fellow Daoist Zhu as a transportation mount. I wonder if he took Fellow Daoist Zhu to show off in front of some eighth-level saints of the Ziyao tribe?"
Zhou Yang feels this is very possible.
It was a pity that since "Havana" was on the mountain, he did not dare to take the risk of making more contact with Zhu Zi to avoid being discovered by the other party.
At the moment, I can only secretly wait anxiously for the next opportunity.
This wait lasted another seven years.
Seven years later, the sage "Havana" suddenly received a call from his master. He hurriedly rode on Zhu Zizhen and asked Zhu Zizhen to carry him to the place where his master practiced. There was not even a sixth-level sage accompanying him.
bring.
As a result, I don't know what instructions the "Havana" sage received from his master. After he came back, he announced in public that he would go into seclusion to try to overcome the three disasters, and asked all his followers to guard the cave without any slack.
This sudden order also made many sixth-level venerables under his command confused, but they could only obey it.
But Zhou Yang soon suddenly discovered that the "Havana" sage was not trying to survive the three disasters in retreat in the cave, but quietly left the place of practice in the name of retreat.
Even Zhu Zizhen never discovered this!
This aroused Zhou Yang's curiosity. Even though he left his avatar in the cave to deceive the sixth-level sages with illusions, he went to follow the "Havana" sage in person.
But he didn't follow him very far when he lost track of the "Havana" sage after he entered a teleportation array.
In the end, he had no choice but to return to the cave and let the incarnation come into contact with Zhu Zizhen again.
This time, because the main body was nearby, Zhou Yang directly transferred the consciousness of the main body into the incarnation, and had a conscious communication dialogue with Zhu Zizhen.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, we haven't seen each other for many years. Are you all right?"
In the bird's nest, Zhu Zizhen was shocked when he heard this familiar voice, and his eyes were full of trance.
After a long time passed like this, she replied with a tone full of emotion: "Yes, I can see fellow Taoist Zhou again in this real immortal world after so many years. I really can't believe it, it's unbelievable!!"
Listening to her words, Zhou Yang couldn't help but think of his past experiences, and then sighed: "How could Zhou be the same? I think back to the time when the five of us worked together to break through the world and soar, but ended up being scattered halfway. How could I have thought about it at that time?
, one day we can meet our old friends again in the real immortal world!"
"Yes, it is indeed a happy event to meet old friends again. It's a pity that I am now trapped in a prison, so I can't celebrate with fellow Taoist Zhou while drinking wine!"
When Zhu Zizhen said this, his eyes dimmed and his mood became extremely low.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang quickly said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, since Zhou is able to meet Fellow Daoist again, he will help Fellow Daoist escape from the cage and regain his freedom no matter what."
What he said was categorical and his tone was extremely firm.
After Zhu Zizhen heard what he said, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
I think back then, Zhou Yang was just a junior that she could kill easily. He even knelt down in front of her and begged her to beg her to take action.
As a result, now, time has changed, and she has become the one who is trapped in a prison and needs to be rescued.
This feeling is difficult for ordinary people to understand!
Of course Zhou Yang didn't know what Zhu Zizhen was feeling at this moment. After giving the other party his guarantee, he quickly continued: "It's just that when Zhou came to the Yanjing Clan this time, he also came with a heavy responsibility. After the mission is completed,
Before, I didn’t dare to expose my whereabouts easily, I’m afraid I have to trouble fellow Daoist Zhu to suffer for some more time!”
When Zhu Zizhen heard this, his eyes suddenly moved. He immediately suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and replied softly: "Oh, but I don't know what kind of important responsibility Zhou Daoyou has? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Zhu, when Zhou came to the Yanjing Clan this time, he was calculated by others and was forced to come here. The task is also very difficult to complete, and Zhou still has no clue."
After Zhou Yang said this, he told Zhu Zizhen exactly what his mission requirements were.
After listening to his story, Zhu Zizhen's eyes also changed, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I actually want to spy on the whereabouts of the strongest person in the Ziyao tribe. This is offending fellow Daoist Zhou. This is obviously to force fellow daoist Zhou to a dead end!
"
Zhou Yang's own family knew about his own affairs, so he had no complaints about it. At this time, it was as if he had not heard Zhu Zizhen's words, and he just asked in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhu has been with Havana much longer than Zhou. I don't know what may be happening there."
Did the above help Zhou in this matter?"
When Zhu Zizhen heard what he said, he immediately showed a troubled look and said: "Young Daoist Zhou are asking about me now. Although I have been captured by Havana for a long time, he has always been very wary of me. How can such things be allowed to happen?"
I know."
This answer made Zhou Yang's heart sink and his heart became cold.
But he did not give up, and soon asked again: "Does Fellow Daoist Zhu know what instructions Havana got when he went to see his master this time?"
"I don't know about this, but I've been by his side for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I've seen him in such a hurry. I guess it's not a small matter."
Zhu Zizhen shook his head slightly, still confused.
This made Zhou Yang feel even worse, and he couldn't help but say: "Of course it's not a trivial matter. This guy in Havana said he was in seclusion, but in fact he has secretly left the cave and I don't know where he went!"
"What? Havana sneaked away!"
Zhu Zi was really shocked, as expected he had never discovered this.
Then he couldn't help but said: "This is really strange. This guy from Havana has an arrogant and domineering temperament. He always wants everyone in the world to know when he goes out. But now a guy like him does such a thing. It seems that he is going to do something like this this time."
What you do is no small matter!”
"Yes, Havana's intention to go out this time is not trivial. Could it be related to the whereabouts of the strongest man from the Ziyao tribe?"
In the cave, Zhou Yang murmured to himself, his face changing, and he was faced with a major decision.
