Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Although it was said that Li Hong and Zhou Tongyue were given full power to deal with the matter of entering the Cangyuan Immortal City, it was impossible for Zhou Yang to really let go of everything.

This time, he brought most of the high-level members of the Zhou family in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm. If these people made a mistake here and suffered heavy losses, the Zhou family might not follow in the footsteps of the Huang Shamen back then, but it is a step backwards. Hundreds of years is not an exaggeration at all.

So after Li Hong and Zhou Tongyue left, Zhou Yang cautiously restrained his breath, and rushed to a place one or two hundred miles away from Cangyuan Immortal City to lurk.

This distance, if he didn't take the initiative to reveal his aura, would not allow the Jindanqi monks in the fairy city to discover his whereabouts, but it would allow him to receive Zhou Guangxiang's distress signal in time, and kill them in time to rescue them.

Of course, this is only a worst-case scenario.

In the best case, "Cangyuan Loose Man" Li Cang is still alive and can still deter the deputy city lord Geng Zhong, and wait for him and Yin Hanguang to destroy Guo Jinhong before coming to "peacefully take over" Cangyuan Immortal City.

But things often always develop in the worst direction.

Less than half a month after Zhou Yang and Li Hong met, through Li Mubai's mouth, came the latest situation about "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cangyuan.

It turned out that as early as half a year ago, "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cangyuan had passed away.

It's just because of the arrangements he made before his death, and because Geng Zhong has no competitors now, and now that the Li family has blocked the news and started withdrawing from Cangyuan Immortal City one after another, he is unwilling to take the risk to lift the cover.

After all, only he and a few members of the Li family know the real situation of "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cangyuan, and Geng Zhong only learned that his life is not long through the weather revealed by his last appearance.

In case the "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cangyuan deliberately faked his death in order to test his attitude towards the Li family, he would only harm himself if he made such rash progress.

Anyway, most of Cangyuan Immortal City has fallen into his hands, and he has enough patience to wait for the answer to be revealed.

Everything was like this originally, the Li family withdrew from Cangyuan Immortal City, and Geng Zhong just waited a few years to take over.

But Zhou Guangxiang's appearance brought some changes.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The Taoist couple Li Mubai and Zhou Guangxiang reunited. Zhou Guangxiang’s children reunited with their mother who had been missing for many years after decades. These people’s emotional changes and mentality changes are always hidden from those who care of.

And Geng Zhong soon received a report from the eyeliner planted in Li's house, and learned of the mysterious identity of Zi Fuqi monk in Li's house.

After he heard the news, he attached great importance to it, and even went to Li's house in person in the name of visiting "Cangyuan Sanren".

At that time Zhou Guangxiang hadn't left the Li family, with Geng Zhong Jindan's third-level cultivation base, and the insider reminded him that when he arrived at the location, Zhou Guangxiang's whereabouts would naturally be invisible.

Fortunately, because Zhou Guangxiang was wearing the disguise mask given by Zhou Yang, even if Geng Zhong discovered her existence, because her current cultivation base is quite different from when she left, and her aura has also changed a lot, so that He failed to recognize her identity on the spot, but became suspicious based on her identity as a female cultivator in the Zifu period.

Knowing that Geng Zhong had become suspicious, Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai didn't dare to stay in the city any longer, and hurriedly sent a message to Zhou Yang and Li Hong from the Zhou family outside the city, informing them to prepare for retreat, while packing up their things and preparing to leave Cangyuan Immortal City.

But the two of them didn't know that when Geng Zhong became suspicious, when he left, he ordered people to check the information of the middle and high-level monks who had recently entered the city, and at the same time ordered people to watch over the Li family.

So when Zhou Guangxiang and his wife moved, Geng Zhong immediately knew that they were going to run away.

Why are they running away?

Of course it was because the origin of that female cultivator was unknown, she was probably Li Mubai's Taoist companion Zhou Guangxiang.

After discovering this, Geng Zhong immediately became excited.

The rewards for Zhou Yang in the "Backlight League" are very high. Those who kill or capture Zhou Yang can receive a "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", a fifth-order middle-grade magic weapon, and thirty top-grade spirit stones.

Even Zhou Guangxiang and Xiao Ying, two women who are close to Zhou Yang, also offered rewards.

Geng Zhong, who was about to ascend to the position of City Lord of Cangyuan Immortal City, didn't think much of Zhou Guangxiang's bounty, but he wanted to catch Zhou Guangxiang and interrogate Zhou Yang's whereabouts.

As long as you find out the exact whereabouts of Zhou Yang, even if you report the news to Haoyangzong, you can get a lot of rewards, and you can make an impression in front of Guo Jinhong, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.

So, when Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai had just left Li's house and before they could leave the city in the future, Geng Zhong who got the news had already killed him.

Fortunately, Zhou Guangxiang had been traveling in Cangyuan Immortal City. When he received the message from his sister, he sent the Zhou family monks who were still in the city to disperse out of the city, and rushed over to meet his sister and brother-in-law's family.

So when Geng Zhong was about to take someone out, he rushed to the scene in time, and sacrificed the fifth-order puppet beast that Zhou Yang gave him to save his life to stop Geng Zhong.

Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang are twin brothers and sisters, and as the old saying goes, a nephew looks like an uncle, Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai's eldest son, Li Zifeng, has seven points similar to Zhou Guangxiang in appearance.

Therefore, as soon as Geng Zhong saw Zhou Guangxiang's appearance, he immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.

He couldn't help shouting with excitement on his face: "Okay, Zhou Guangxiang, you little bitch dare to come back. Over the years, Geng and countless monks in this far western land have been looking for you, little bitch and your master. It was so hard to find, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself, it's really wonderful!"

Hearing his words, the expressions of Li Mubai and Zhou Guangxiang, the two closest men to Zhou Guangxiang, suddenly changed.

"Geng Zhong, what do you want to do? The family ancestor is not dead, and you want to do something to our Li family's children?"

Li Mubai blushed in surprise and anger and glared at Geng Zhong, trying to scare him off with the title of "Cangyuan Sanren".

However, what made his face turn pale was that after listening to his words, Geng Zhong sneered and pierced the tiger skin he was relying on.

"Old Ghost Li is probably no longer in the Cangyuan Immortal City right now. Do you think your concealment is perfect? ​​Geng didn't want to touch you before, but he just saw that you know each other, and he doesn't want to end up with a reputation of being unreasonable. , so you think that Geng is afraid of your tiger skin!"

"you……"

Li Mubai pointed at Geng Zhong with a pale face, but he couldn't say a word.

That's right, just three days ago, the body of "Cangyuan Loose Man" Li Cangyuan was quietly taken out of Cangyuan Immortal City by the monks of the Li family, and buried in a secret manor of the Li family.

This news was known by less than ten people in the entire Li family, Li Mubai didn't know why Geng Zhong knew about it, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhou Guangxiang, who had never said a word, immediately pushed Li Mubai to his younger sister Zhou Guangxiang behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, you take Xiang'er and Feng'er away first, I will stop him!"

Hearing his words, Li Mubai became anxious immediately, and shouted loudly: "No, brother, you and Xiang'er go first, I'll stop him, I don't believe that Geng Zhong really dared to kill my Li family's children in Cangyuan Xiancheng !"

"Mubai, stop arguing, I believe in brother, let's go!"

Zhou Guangxiang stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Li Mubai who was about to say something, and was about to leave with him and his sons and daughters first.

"Go? None of you can go!"

A sneer flashed across Geng Zhong's face, and suddenly he pinched the magic formula with both hands, and mobilized the power of the Cangyuan Immortal City's protective formation to seal off the city, trapping several people here.

After finishing all this, he looked at the tiger puppet beast with fiery eyes and said: "This fifth-order puppet beast should be left by Zhou Yang for your life-saving use? It seems that his wealth is bigger than Geng imagined. It is much richer, as expected of a person who once won three battles in a row, but after today, this treasure belongs to Geng!"

"That depends on whether you have that life!"

Zhou Guangxiang yelled, and with a thought, the tiger puppet roared angrily, raised its ax and rushed towards Geng Zhong.

The true combat power of this tiger puppet beast is definitely no worse than that of a third-tier Golden Core stage monk, but the methods are not as varied as the Golden Core Stage monk.

Geng Zhong was blocked by it, and he couldn't spare much strength to capture Zhou Guangxiang and others for a while.

But he was not in a hurry, because with the mobilization of the moat formation, a large number of his immortal city guard monks were coming, and Zhou Guangxiang and others would definitely not be able to break through the moat formation and escape in a short time.

"No, Mr. Geng has already changed the authority of the Great City Guard Formation, and the access tokens in our hands are no longer valid!"

During the formation, Li Mubai took out the Token for entering and exiting Immortal City originally held by the Li family and tried it, then threw away the token with resentment on his face.

He has seen what it means for people to take tea to cool down today.

You must know that this Cangyuan Immortal City was built by the ancestor of the Li family, "Cangyuan Sanren", and the large formation for protecting the city was also arranged by him. As a result, "Cangyuan Sanren" has only passed away for less than a year now, and the deputy city lord Geng Zhong Surreptitiously changed the access authority of the moat formation, it can be seen that it has already produced unscrupulous plots.

It is not an easy task to change the access authority of the Great Guard Formation. Geng Zhong did not plan to commit crimes long ago. He invited a skilled formation master to find out the details of the Great Guard Formation. How could it be possible that "Cang Yuan Sanren" just sat down Not long after his death, he completed the control of the moat formation.

It should be noted that until now, the most important central control token of the original city defense formation is also in the hands of their Li family. This is the biggest reliance of their Li family and Geng Zhong in the negotiation. Unexpectedly, this reliance is actually worthless!

When Zhou Guangxiang heard the Taoist couple's words, there was only a flash of disappointment on his face, and he cheered up and comforted him: "Now we can only wait, Uncle Jiu is outside the city, and he must have received the news at this moment, as long as he When the old man comes, all difficulties will be solved!"

"Senior Zhou has just successfully formed the alchemy for less than a hundred years. Even if his strength was amazing before he formed the alchemy, he is now at the second level of the golden core. OK?"

Li Mubai looked at his Taoist companion unconfidently and asked, his face was full of suspicion.

Sometimes he doesn't understand why his Taoist companion is so confident in that uncle who looks younger than him, blindly confident!

Although he has to admit that that clan uncle is indeed outstanding, after all, it is not just any Jindan stage monk who can successfully form a pill, and then successfully plots against a Nascent Soul mid-stage monk, causing that Nascent Soul Period monks had to abandon their original physical body and reincarnate.

"Hmph, are you doubting Uncle Jiu's strength? If you don't believe me, you'll find out later!"

The matter involved his most admired Uncle Ninth, even if he was the Taoist couple who shared the same bed, Zhou Guangxiang did not show a good face, glared at Li Mubai with displeasure, turned his head and continued to look at his elder brothers Zhou Guangxiang and Geng Zhong battle.

Seeing this, Li Mubai said in his heart that it was a lie if he didn't like it, but the Taoist couple reunited after a long absence, and he didn't want to annoy the Taoist couple because of this quarrel, lest he would stay alone in the empty house for decades.

At the moment, I could only laugh twice, and didn't talk about this topic any more.

Besides Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, who was hiding outside the city and was subconsciously cultivating, rushed towards Cangyuan Immortal City after receiving Zhou Guangxiang's summons.

At that time, because Geng Zhong hadn't made a move yet, it was not easy for him to expose his true cultivation, so as not to overwhelm the snake and make it self-defeating.

However, when he saw the activation of the protective array in Cangyuan Immortal City from a distance, he immediately realized that things had changed, Zhou Guangxiang's whereabouts must have been exposed.

Therefore, he no longer cared about hiding his cultivation, and directly cast the magical power of "Rainbow Golden Escape", and flew out of the protective formation of Cangyuan Immortal City in one fell swoop.

When he arrived, Geng Zhong happened to be fighting against the tiger puppet beast of Zhou Guangxiang's imperial envoy.

After seeing this scene through the shield formed by the moat formation, he breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and locked on Geng Zhong with murderous intent.

Geng Zhong, who is only a third-level Jindan, is not in Zhou Yang's eyes. If he really uses all his strength to make a move, he can take it down within three moves.

On the contrary, the big formation protecting the city is a bit tricky, and it will take some time to break through such a large formation with his strength.

Fortunately, even though Geng Zhong had activated the Great City Defense Formation, it was only partially activated and had not activated the power of the entire City Defense Formation.

If all the protective formations of an immortal city like Cangyuan Immortal City were opened, not to mention Zhou Yang, even a Jindan ninth-level cultivator would not be able to break through it by himself.

However, if this kind of protective formation wants to be fully opened and exert its maximum power, it must be deployed in advance and arrange people to guard the foundation, which cannot be done in a short time.

This gave Zhou Yang the opportunity to break through the formation and save people.

I saw him standing in mid-air outside the formation, with a wave of his hand, a long silver knife was sacrificed by him.

He has a lot of powerful magic weapons in his hand, but to achieve the goal of breaking through the formation and saving people the fastest, it must be this "Taiyin Zhanpakutao".

"cut!"

He pinched a magic formula in his hand, and with a low shout, the silver long knife suddenly burst into silver light, like a silver shooting star, it crashed down on the defense formation of Cangyuan Immortal City.

Boom!

With just one blow, the shield formed by the Great Array of Immortal City's moat shook violently, and the roar spread throughout the city.

"Okay, that's amazing!"

Inside the formation, Li Mubai looked up at the scene, his legs couldn't help shaking, his face was full of shock and he raised his head in amazement.

It's not that he hasn't seen a Jindanqi monk make a move before, but a powerful attack like the knife just now is definitely not something that an ordinary Jindanqi monk can do, at least he knows that Geng Zhong will definitely not be able to do it.

Then his eyes flashed with joy, and he looked at Zhou Guangxiang with piercing eyes and asked, "Lady, what kind of cultivation level is Uncle Ninth? This kind of strength is definitely not something that a monk at the early stage of Golden Core can possess!"

"Hmph, who told you that Uncle Nine is an early-stage Golden Core cultivator? Uncle Nine is a genius, and he was successfully promoted to the middle-stage Golden Core not long ago!"

Zhou Guangxiang snorted coldly, and answered the Taoist companion's question with a proud face.

Hearing her words, Li Mubai opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a goose egg, and he didn't speak for a while.

He remembered what he said earlier about doubting Zhou Yang's strength, and his fair face suddenly flushed with blood, which was embarrassing.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Guangxiang not only did not comfort him, but said with a proud face: "I warn you, you'd better be respectful to my ninth uncle in the future, otherwise even if I don't settle accounts with you, elder brother will never let you go you!"

"I, I see."

Li Mubai opened his mouth, like a defeated rooster, he answered with a dejected face full of helplessness.

There is no way, who told him that in terms of cultivation now, he can't compare with Zhou Guangxiang, the eldest brother-in-law, and in terms of family background, the Li family, which has lost the Jindan stage monks, can't be compared with the Zhou family. When Zhou Guangxiang was the eldest brother-in-law, he really didn't have much confidence at all.

Besides, Geng Zhong, after seeing the power of Zhou Yang's knife, Geng Zhong was also taken aback.

He naturally recognized Zhou Yang, but he never thought that Zhou Yang, who had only formed a pill for less than a hundred years, would already have this kind of strength.

Thinking of him, Geng Zhong, he has been forming alchemy for nearly four hundred years, and now he is only at the third level of the golden core. It is still unknown whether he can break through the bottleneck of his cultivation and advance to the middle stage of the golden core in this life.

And what about Zhou Yang?

In less than a hundred years, he has jumped three levels in a row and reached the fourth level of Jindan. This kind of cultivation speed really makes Geng Zhong both shocked and jealous, terrified and jealous.

"That's right, it must be the silver long sword magic weapon. He must rely on that fifth-level high-grade magic weapon to have such strength. That is not his real strength, it must be like this!"

Geng Zhong stared fixedly at the silver long knife, and attributed all the credit for Zhou Yang's blow to this fifth-order high-grade magic weapon, unwilling to believe that it was Zhou Yang's own strength.

"Let you be arrogant now, after I tell Senior Guo Jinhong the news of your appearance, let's see how arrogant you are!"

"At that time, I will definitely ask Senior Guo to reward me with this silver long saber magic weapon."

He thought viciously in his heart, but the offensive against Zhou Guangxiang became more and more fierce.

The appearance of Zhou Yang made him feel great pressure, and now he is not absolutely sure whether the large defensive formation can block Zhou Yang's attack.

So he is going to take Zhou Guangxiang and others first, and then take the hostages to retreat to the City Lord's Mansion, which is the core of the entire moat formation and has the strongest defense. As long as he retreats there, he will have enough time to fully activate the moat formation. Array.

At that time, he might be able to trap Zhou Yang in the city and suppress him with the help of the large formation protecting the city, and then gather the strength of the entire city guarding monks to kill Zhou Yang!

It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

After Zhou Yang discovered his movements, he not only accelerated the frequency of his saber attacks, but also sacrificed magic weapons such as "Lion Fire Ruyi" and "Yishan Yin" to join the attack.

In this way, after dozens of breaths of time, the shield formed by the protective formation was smashed by him, revealing a huge gap. The next moment, his figure flashed, and he had already appeared in the protective formation.

"Zhou Yang, let's let you be rampant for a while first. In a few days, senior Guo Jinhong will come here. At that time, Geng will see if you can still be rampant!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Geng Zhong's voice full of resentment quickly spread throughout the city.

But he found out that after Zhou Yang broke the shield of the formation, he already knew that there was nothing to do, so he slipped back into the city lord's mansion first, and didn't dare to fight Zhou Yang head-on.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sneered and said: "Hey, no matter how bad Zhou is, he won't be like a turtle like you who only knows how to shrink in a turtle shell and scream. People like you are worthy of it." Stealing the position of city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City?"

When Geng Zhong heard him calling himself a "shrinking turtle", he was also very angry, and couldn't help cursing angrily: "Who wouldn't say big words? If you really have the guts, don't run away. If you still dare to stay here after seven days, Geng will kneel down and call you grandpa!"

"Forget it, you are a big-hearted grandson who always wants to recognize his grandfather when he meets everyone. Zhou respects you and is not sensitive. Anyone who loves him will want it!"

Zhou Yang shook his head in a dignified manner, and many people noticed the disgust on his face.

For a moment, the uncontrollable and cheerful laughter echoed everywhere in the fairy city, sweeping away the tense atmosphere of turmoil and chaos.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...""

Geng Zhong is in a hurry, in a hurry!

The dignified Golden Core Stage monk, at this moment, was as anxious as a street thug, swearing and swearing, without any trace of the Golden Core Stage monk's demeanor.

But at this time, Zhou Yang was too lazy to argue with such an incompetent coward, and directly moved his hands, bringing Zhou Guangxiang's brothers and sisters, Li Mubai and his son all in front of him, and then the clouds and light under his feet were flying golden auspicious clouds in an instant After rushing out of the fairy city, he disappeared in the sight of the monks all over the city.

At this moment, the chic back of him leaving behind the clouds formed a stark contrast with Geng Zhong who was still swearing and swearing in the city lord's mansion.

Maybe Geng Zhong himself didn't expect that at this very moment, many monks' impressions of him changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

The shrewd and capable image that he spent hundreds of years painstakingly shaping, was directly dismantled because of today's scene, and was defined by many monks as a hypocritical, cowardly and shameless villain, who would only hide in the city lord's mansion incompetently and furiously.

And when what happened today spread through the mouths of monks all over the city, his reputation of incompetence and cowardice could never be washed away.
