The crescent moon hung high in the sky, a trace of silver light shone on the river, and Zhang Zhixuan stood by the small river, leaving a long reflection in the river.

The breeze blows, the treetops sway gently, and the trees along the boulevard are like shadows.

There was silence, and occasionally there was a frog chirping.

From time to time, the fish jumped up, and there was a slapping sound in the current.

Looking at the night scene in the distance, Zhang Zhixuan's heart also had some mixed feelings.

When he was a teenager, he and Qing Chan often came to this Xiaohe side to play, at that time there were many fishing boats by the river, and countless Zhang family members on both sides of the river made a living from fishing.

Hundreds of years have passed, and there are no mortals near the huge Lingjing Mountain.

For nearly 700 years, Taicheng County has been in great swings.

Even Zhang Zhixuan's side does not have many old people.

The relatives and friends of the youth have all turned into a handful of loess.

Still by his side, only Qingchan and Hanyan are left.

In the dead of night, Zhang Zhixuan often feels a trace of unspeakable loneliness.

Who should I tell about this loneliness?

Time has passed, time has passed, and it has been seven years since the Lanjiang Conference.

In the past seven years, the development of the Ziyang Sect has been smooth.

Tang Baosheng even hit the bottleneck of the infant once, but unfortunately without the assistance of the infant spirit, his foundation is far inferior to those favored by heaven like Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan.

However, Tang Baosheng and Li Yunxiu still have a high probability of refining into Yuanying.

In the past seven years, Qingchan has still been in retreat.

Before the retreat, Qing Chan had already made up his mind that he would never leave the retreat without breaking through the bottleneck.

Qing Chan has been in retreat for twelve years since the Vast Sea Sword Fight, and he doesn't know when he will succeed.

Zhang Zhixuan stood with his hands in his hands, raising his eyes and looking into the distance. Two sword lights shot out from the west and landed steadily behind Zhang Zhixuan.

These two people are Zhang Zhenlin and Liang Wangsheng, who are in charge of the sect's miscellaneous affairs in Ziyang Sect.

These two people are Jindan monks, and Liang Wangsheng is still a descendant of Liang Laozu.

After the Liang family of Montenegro was merged into Qingxuanzong, the development was smooth sailing.

At the beginning, Wei Bohan, Kang Duhe and others took care of them, and later Liang Yuxian, Liang Wangsheng and other people who provoked the Liang.

In the family, two Jin Dan have been cultivated, although they are far inferior to the Zhang family of Tiantai Peak, and their momentum is no weaker than that of the Jin Laozu clan.

"The two of you came together, could it be that something big happened in the sect?"

"Tell the ancestor of the head of the family, the head of the Tao family sent a letter, saying that there is a Mending Tianzhi in his family that has matured, and he wants to dedicate it to the sect."

"His family has actually matured a mending Tianzhi, what does Tao Jingzhen have to ask for?"

He hoped that the ancestor would accept his young son as an apprentice, and give him a sixth-order spirit talisman to leave to the Tao family. In addition, he also wants to merge the Tao Kingdom into our Ziyang Sect. ”

"Calculating the time, Tao Boying has been fighting and killing the Demon Cloud Cave for six hundred years. Yu Laozu once passed down an edict to keep the Tao family safe for 600 years, and it seems that the Tao family is going to find a way back. Tell me about the Tao family's request, should we agree? ”

"The big things of the sect, where is the reason for us juniors to intervene?"

Seeing that the two did not speak, Zhang Zhixuan did not care, and mentioned that he had returned to the sect.

Zhang Zhixuan had just returned to the mountain gate and found that Gu Yan, Lingjun, Han Yan and other Yuanying monks had already come to the ancestral hall. Even heavyweight Jin Dan such as Tang Baosheng and Li Yunxiu also received the news and returned to the mountain gate.

"Tao Jing really sent a letter and wanted us to shelter his people, what do you think?"

Several Yuan Babies of the sect, Qingchan has closed the dead pass, and Liu Lingjun is also dedicated to cultivation, and he no longer cares about this kind of mundane affairs.

Seeing Zhang Zhixuan asking, Liu Guyan groaned a little and was the first to speak.

"To be honest, the territory occupied by the sect is already very large. The nine kingdoms of the Southern Wilderness, including Wu, Yu, Song, Lai, Chen, Liang, Pei, Xu, and Fei, all fell under the control of the sect. Among the nine countries, Wu and Song are all big countries, and there are sixth-order spiritual mountains in the territory, and the products are also quite abundant, although the remaining seven countries are small countries, they also have vast territories, and the sect also occupies the six counties of the Qi country, and there are also some enclaves in the southern wilderness that belong to the sect, and the territory we control is actually no less than the top ten sects of the Great Zhou.

Although Tao Guo is densely populated and very far away from the core of the sect, this enclave is like chicken ribs for the sect, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless, and it does not have much effect on the increase of the strength of the sect. ”

Xia Youqing frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Tao Jingzhen is willing to seek the near and far, why don't you find the nearby Akashi Sect?" ”

The Akashi Sect is a small sect of the Great Zhou, and there is only one Yuanying monk in the sect, who has joined this sect, and the Tao family has four Jindan monks, so it is easy to maintain a strong independence.

"The one who is eyeing the fat of the Tao family is not only the Akashi Sect, but also the behemoth Cave Xuanzong. Dong Xuanzong sent a message very early, asking the Tao family to dedicate Bu Tianzhi to them. Although the Dongxuan Sect is the weakest of the ten major sects of the Great Zhou, there are also eight Yuan Babies in the sect, and there are also nine great monks of the Yuan Infant in charge. Akashi Sect is a small family, how dare to compete with Dong Xuanzong. ”

Han Yan nodded, and asked Sihong, the advocate of the Internal Affairs Mansion: "The territory of the Tao Kingdom is close to the Great Zhou, and there is no teleportation array connected to the territory of the Ziyang Sect, if you want to control this place, the top priority is to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array. The cost of building such a teleportation array is no less than cultivating a sixth-order spirit vein, is the balance of the sect's treasury enough now? ”

Looking at the meaning of the cold smoke, he obviously wanted to swallow the fat of the Tao family in his mouth.

Zhang Sihong nodded and said: "There has been no major war in recent years, although the development investment has been increased, the balance of the sect in the year is still more than hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and after more than a hundred years, the spirit stones accumulated in the treasury of the sect have exceeded 40 million, not to mention the construction of an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, that is, the construction of three, and the financial resources of the sect are also enough to use." ”

"The cultivators of the Tao family's territory are of little use to us, but that strain of Replenishing Tianzhi is the foundation of the development of the sect, and this spiritual grass is one of the main medicines of the three flavors of Peiying Pill, and this is the reason why the Dongxuan Sect is eyeing this thing."

Inside the Ziyang Sect, there is also a collection of Peiying Dan Fang, and Zhang Zhixuan is also a sixth-order lower grade alchemist, so he naturally knows the importance of this thing to the Ziyang Sect.

The Ziyang Sect has been able to develop and grow over the years, in addition to Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan's different talents, another important factor is the battle exploits of the Demon Cloud Cave.

The high-level monks of the sect went deep into the Demon Cloud Cave several times to fight for their lives, hunting and killing demon cultivators in exchange for spiritual objects to form babies, while Xia Youqing and Hanyan all relied on Jiuxiao Gangyu to marry babies.

The decisive battle of the Demon Cloud Cave is coming soon, after removing the Ten Thousand Tribulation Patriarch, the Nine Heavens Gang Jade in the hands of Qingyunzi and Yu Daoren will only be left to the disciples, and if the Ziyang Sect wants to continue to develop, it must take precautions and plan early.

This sixth-order Tianzhi of the Tao family, the Ziyang Sect must take it in his hands, even if he offends the Dongxuan Sect, Zhang Zhixuan will not hesitate to do it.
