Inside the stronghold of Ruby Peak.

I saw that in the room, there were seven or eight storage bags open in front of Zhou Chun, and he was counting the treasures one after another.

The reason why there are so many storage bags is, of course, because the relics of several Huang Family Foundation Monks he killed in Shen State are also here.

He was busy with the road before, and he didn't have the heart to count the things, so he happened to check them at this time.

To be honest, this kind of one-time inventory of seven or eight foundation building monks' storage bags has not been experienced by Zhou Chun for many years.

The last time I participated in the war against the Dragon Sect.

However, this happy experience is unforgettable.

At this time, after some counting, Zhou Chun's face was also full of smiles.

Originally, after returning from the Great Zhou Kingdom, he and the Zhou family became poor ghosts.

Especially himself, from a big guy with a huge amount of 200,000 spirit coins, to a poor ghost with less than 10,000 spirit coins in his personal property.

He urgently needed to earn a large amount of spirit coins to fill his wallet, so that he could buy treasures that would help open up the Purple Mansion.

But in the past few years, he has been busy in the family, and he has no chance to earn any extra money.

I didn't want to be ordered to come to Yangguo Town this time, but I made a lot of money all at once!

Even if you don't mention the invaluable wooden charm, the spirit coins in these seven or eight storage bags alone add up to more than 76,000!

The rest of the second-order magic weapons add up to as many as ten.

There are also various talismans, elixirs, elixirs, and spiritual materials, and there are quite a few of them.

With such a harvest, how could Zhou Chunxi not smile and be extremely happy.

With these gains in hand, it seems that it won't take three or five years for him to try to find spiritual objects to help open up the Purple Mansion again.

After happily collecting all kinds of harvest materials, Zhou Chun began to think about what to do next.

Now that the chaos inside the stronghold has been suppressed and quelled by him by violent means, Fu Changqing and the three of them have been frightened by him, and they should not dare to do things under his nose anymore.

But external pressures cannot be ignored.

If that Huoyang Sanren learned that the people close to him in the Red Jade Peak stronghold had been killed, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have the intention of coming to the door in person.

And in the face of a late-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion, Zhou Chunke had no power to resist.

In addition, the mining of the [Tuyuan Jingyu] vein also needs to be restored urgently, after all, Shanyangzi is waiting for the Zhou family to deliver it to the door regularly, and if it is delayed for too long, it will definitely make him feel annoyed.

In the end, it is the matter of taming the wood charm, if this spirit is not tamed for a day, it will have the possibility of escaping one day, and it is easy for it to bring death to Zhou Chun himself because of its exposure.

These things should be the main thing he will do next.

And things have to be done one by one, and they must be done in a matter of priority.

The most urgent thing now should be to solve the external pressure that may be faced.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Chun felt that he couldn't passively take over this matter, and he still had to take the initiative.

So he took the initiative to write a letter to Huoyang Sanren, which explained the relationship between Lin Hongyu and the Zhou family, and wrote the Zhou family's three purple mansions and two third-order demon beasts on it.

Obviously, Zhou Chun's intention in writing this letter was to deter the Huoyang people and let the other party know that even if Lin Hongyu was not in the stronghold of Hongyu Peak, this was not something he could wantonly touch.

After the letter was written, Zhou Chun asked the old man in Tsing Yi, Yang Jincai, to personally send it to Huoyang Sanren.

This is undoubtedly a chore, but Yang Jincai, an old man in Tsing Yi, also knew that he had no choice but to go to the stronghold opened up by the Huoyang Sanren with a bitter face.

It is said that this Huoyang Sanren would have a conflict with Lin Hongyu at the beginning, and it was also because he fell in love with the place of Hongyu Peak and wanted to snatch it.

It's a pity that he was still inferior in the end, and was injured by Lin Hongyu and escaped.

After that, he could only open up a stronghold in another place more than 700 miles away from the stronghold of Hongyufeng, and recruited a group of scattered cultivators to establish his own Huoyang stronghold.

The time when Yang Jincai took Zhou Chun's letter to the Huoyang stronghold was the third day after Zhou Chun set things right, and the Huoyang Sanren in the Huoyang stronghold had just learned about this from the eyeliner arranged in the Hongyufeng stronghold.

When he was about to go to the Red Jade Peak stronghold to check the situation in person, he received the news that Yang Jincai came to visit.

"Recently, I heard that there was another internal conflict in the stronghold of Hongyu Peak, Tian Fengyi and other Daoists even died in the conflict, Yang Daoyou is from the stronghold of Hongyufeng, I don't know if I know the details of this matter?"

In the room, Huoyang Sanren, who was wearing a red robe and even had crimson hair, looked at Yang Jincai standing below with a calm face, and his tone was also plain, as if he had never interfered in the affairs of the Red Jade Peak stronghold.

But Yang Jincai didn't dare to really think that his mood was as calm as his tone.

After hearing this, he replied very respectfully: "Senior Mingjian, this is the reason why the junior was ordered to come to meet the senior today. ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter written by Zhou Chun to Huoyang Sanren from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it forward: "This is a letter written by Zhou Zhengchun, a new Daoist friend from the Hongyu Peak stronghold, to Huoyang seniors, and the juniors are specially ordered to deliver it." ”

"Zhou Zhengchun Daoyou?"

Huoyang Sanren listened to Yang Jincai's words, and seemed to grasp the main point, and immediately glared at Yang Jincai and shouted: "You mean that the death of Tian Fengyi and other Taoist friends was not done by the Purple Mansion period monks?" ”

From what he said, it was not difficult to hear that he didn't know much about what was happening in the Red Jade Peak stronghold.

And Yang Jincai also knew why he reacted so much, and immediately nodded after hearing this: "Yes, Zhou Zhengchun Daoist who killed Tian Fengyi and other Taoist friends is indeed only a late stage of foundation building!" ”

"He's only one man?"

Huo Yang Sanren asked in disbelief.

"It's true that it's a person, but he's a beast cultivator who has domesticated a few second-order demon beasts!"

When Yang Jincai said this, he couldn't help but think of what he saw that day.

The majestic posture of the thunder and lightning dragon, as well as the fierce image of the golden-winged tiger that swallowed a foundation building monk alive, are still heart-wrenching when they think back at this moment.

And after hearing his words, and looking at his trembling appearance, Huoyang Sanren was even more curious about Zhou Chun in his heart.

At the moment, he waved his hand and said: "This letter is not busy with this seat first, Yang Daoyou, you should first explain the events of the day to this seat in detail, there must be no omission!" ”

This was said as if Yang Jincai was his subordinate.

But although Yang Jincai was not his subordinate, he didn't dare to disobey his orders at this moment, so he could only honestly tell what he knew that day.

After speaking, he also took the initiative to excuse himself: "Huoyang seniors Mingjian, that's all the juniors saw that day, as for what the situation was before, the juniors don't know." ”

Huo Yang Sanren didn't say anything about his words, because he was still shocked by what he said.

To be honest, if he didn't know that Yang Jincai didn't have the need to deceive himself, he shouldn't dare to deceive himself, and Huoyang Sanren would definitely think that he was talking nonsense.

One person broke into a stronghold with seven foundation building monks stationed to save people, and beheaded four foundation building monks in a row, forcing the remaining three who controlled the guardian array to surrender voluntarily, this is something that a foundation building monk can do?

Not to mention that Huoyang Sanren is hard to believe, if you are any Purple Mansion monk who first hears about this, I am afraid that it is also difficult to believe.

However, the situation that Yang Jincai said seems to make people have to believe it, after all, if a foundation building period monk really has the configuration of Zhou Chun, it seems that he does have the ability to have more than one enemy.

This made Huoyang Sanren also have great curiosity about Zhou Chun's origin.

So he was not interested in the letter in Yang Jincai's hand, but at this time, he raised his hand and directly took the letter into his hand to check it.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, he is also shocked and angry.

What was surprising was that Lin Hongyu was not a casual cultivator at all, and there was a major cultivator immortal family behind her.

It was Zhou Chun, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, who was angry that he dared to threaten himself with this kind of letter!

I saw him "bang" and threw the letter in his hand on the ground, and shouted angrily with an angry face: "The junior is so bold! ”

This suddenness also frightened Yang Jincai's legs, and even when he knelt on the ground and shouted: "The seniors spare their lives, the juniors don't know anything, the juniors just came to deliver the letter!" ”

An old oilman like him does not have any psychological obstacles to this kind of kneeling and begging for mercy, and it can be said that he has long been used to it.

Seeing this, Huoyang Sanren glared at him angrily and shouted: "Go back and tell that junior, he is limited to come over in person within half a month to apologize to this seat, otherwise this seat will personally go to Hongyu Peak and help Lin Hongyu teach him a good lesson as a junior who doesn't know how to respect and humility!" ”

"Yes, yes, the younger generation must bring the words, and they must tell Zhou Daoyou truthfully!"

Yang Jincai nodded yes again and again, and then hurriedly got up and left the Huoyang stronghold as if fleeing for his life.

After he returned to the Red Jade Peak stronghold, he told Zhou Chun about the various reactions of the Huoyang Sanren after seeing him.

After finishing speaking, he saw that Zhou Chun was just contemplative, so he said cautiously: "In Yang's opinion, it is true that Huoyang Sanren is angry, but I am afraid that he does not really want to come over and forcibly occupy the stronghold of Hongyu Peak, most of those words are to find a step for himself and take the opportunity to blackmail a fortune!" ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, and he knew very well what he meant.

Yang Jincai's meaning is undoubtedly that he wants Zhou Chun to go to the Huoyang stronghold in person to apologize for his crimes, as Huoyang Sanren said, so as to give Huoyang Sanren face and lining, so that he no longer has thoughts about the Hongyufeng stronghold.

To be honest, it's not impossible to do this, if you can really settle things and calm people down, Zhou Chun is not reluctant to give up his son and his lining.

However, Zhou Chun was even more worried that this kind of show of weakness would further fuel the arrogance of the Huoyang Scattered People, making him think that the Zhou family was simply unable to send stronger forces to the Red Jade Peak stronghold, and then breed a stronger greedy heart.

Therefore, Zhou Chun did not give Yang Jincai any response, but said lightly: "Zhou knows, Zhou will consider this matter, Yang Daoyou, you go back and do your part first!" ”

Seeing that he didn't respond, although Yang Jincai was a little disappointed and worried in his heart, he hurriedly responded without revealing anything on his face: "Yes, yes, then Yang will retire first." ”

In the next few days, Zhou Chun did not have any intention of going to the Huoyang stronghold to apologize, but just meditated and practiced in his residence with peace of mind.

His calm posture made Yang Jincai and Fu Changqing all mutter, not understanding what he was thinking.

But Huoyang Sanren was only targeting Zhou Chun, even if they really came to the door, as long as the three of them surrendered quickly, they would not have to worry about their lives, so they didn't worry much.

After five days of this, Lin Wan'er finally got out of the customs.

The vitality she had lost at the moment had not fully recovered, but it no longer affected her pure thinking and activities.

Seeing her out of the customs, Zhou Chun told her the reply of Huoyang Sanren.

Then he said: "Zhou doesn't know much about this Huoyang Sanren, and I don't know if he is just trying to give himself a step, or if he is deliberately using it to test him, Elder Lin, what do you think about this?" ”

Hearing his words, Lin Wan'er groaned slightly, then shook her head and said, "Actually, the concubine doesn't know much about the temperament of Huoyang Sanren, so she can't tell what he means. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun with a straight face and said: "But if you want the concubine to decide, the concubine thinks that the patriarch doesn't need to apologize to him at all, that will only make him underestimate the patriarch and the Zhou family!" ”

"Oh, why did Elder Lin say that?"

Zhou Chun raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Wan'er with a look of wishing to hear about it.

Lin Wan'er didn't sell Guan Zi either, and immediately explained: "Because Huoyang Sanren is a real loose cultivator, and judging from the experience of dealing with these loose cultivators as a concubine for many years, most of the loose cultivators are in awe when they face those sect family forces. ”

"If a certain sect family gives in in front of them, they are likely to intensify their demands for more benefits!"

She may not understand why this is herself, but after Zhou Chun listened to her words, she understood everything.

Because Zhou Chun had seen similar people in his previous life.

A low-level person who was originally oppressed everywhere, when he turns over one day and has the strength to bully others, he will be bullied even more ruthlessly.

In many cases, only those who have been oppressed and exploited will know how to better oppress and exploit others.

It's ironic, but it's a real situation.

Even in this immortal cultivation world, the most ruthless exploitation of ordinary casual cultivation is not the various sects and families like the Zhou family, but those high-level casual cultivators who have grown up from the bottom of casual cultivation.

It seems that those low-level casual cultivators in this Red Jade Peak stronghold, they are obviously responsible for guarding the "Pure Spirit Pavilion", but there is not much rent collected in the stronghold that can be distributed to them at all.

The real benefits they can obtain are probably that they can give themselves or their families the right to practice for free for an unlimited period of time outside of the task, as well as the convenience of occasionally consulting those who are scattered during the foundation building period about difficult aspects of cultivation.

"I understand what you mean, Elder Lin, then we'll ignore his answer and see if he dares to really knock on the door!"

Zhou Chun nodded, when he made a decision.

First update!
