Qingxiao has fallen!

When Zhou Chun learned the news, the worries that had originally arisen because the war ended too soon suddenly dissipated, and he only felt refreshed and relieved.

It's like a big stone that has been pressing on your back, and suddenly it's gone!

People always grow!

A hundred years ago, even a few decades ago, Qinglian Guan was a behemoth to Zhou Chun, and he didn't dare to think about the consequences of being an enemy at all.

I know that if it angers Qinglian Temple, a few Jindan monks can make the Zhou family destroy the family and destroy the clan.

But now, after experiencing the battle between the Yuan Demon Legion and the Heavenly Spirit Legion, and after personally fighting with the Jindan period monks, Zhou Chun's mentality towards Qinglian Guan has changed dramatically.

In his eyes, there is only one Qingxiao real person in Qinglian Temple.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's true.

After all, in the realm of the Purple Mansion Period, he can already be said to be an invincible existence, and the only person who can be put in his eyes is a Jindan Stage monk.

And now he also has a great grasp of the knot, and in his heart he has actually regarded himself as a Jindan stage monk.

In addition, the Zhou family has Lin Hongyu, a Jindan monk, and the Jindan family with alliances such as the Su family.

In this way, even though the number of Jindan stage cultivators in these families is not as large as that of Qinglian Guan, it is no longer something that Qinglian Guan can command at will.

The premise is that Qingxiao real people don't exist anymore!

But before that, there was still a real person in Qingxiao in Qinglian Temple.

Because of the existence of this real person in the infancy stage, before this, no matter how much Zhou Chun racked his brains, he couldn't think of a way to mediate with Qinglian Guan.

The things he did before were only things that could be successful in theory, but they might not actually be successful.

But it's different now.

Now, with the fall of Qingxiao Zhenren, after Qinglianguan lost this only Yuan Infant True Person, he actually lost the power to suppress other Jindan families.

In the past, because of the existence of Qingxiao real people, no matter how much Qinglian Guan did too much, the other Jindan families could only endure it silently and didn't dare to say anything.

After all, the strength and longevity of the Yuan Infant Stage True Person are much stronger than the Jindan Stage Monks, as long as they take action in person, it is impossible for any Jindan Stage Monk to escape.

But without the real person of the Yuan Infant Stage to deter on it, even if Qinglian Guan is still much stronger than other Jindan families in terms of strength, it no longer has a crushing effect.

It's really urgent, the Jindan monks are desperate for their families, and they concentrate on hiding in the shadows to hunt the middle and low-level monks of your Qinglian Temple, which can also make your Qinglian Temple suffer heavy losses and lose people's hearts!

Therefore, once Qingxiao Zhenren falls, when any Jindan family faces Qinglian Guan, they have the qualifications to negotiate terms and bargain, and they can no longer really treat themselves as a vassal for Qinglian Guan to drive at will as before.

Zhou Chun had been worried that after the end of the war, Qinglianguan would find an excuse to attack the Zhou family, either explicitly or covertly cut off them, the high-ranking Zhou family, or even directly find an excuse to destroy the Zhou family.

Therefore, he desperately killed the enemy on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions, trying to use his full glory to make Qinglianguan have scruples, and he did not dare to use some clumsy charges to destroy the Zhou family at will.

But this approach is not effective or not, at least the initiative is not in the hands of the Zhou family and him at all, but in the hands of Qinglianguan.

If Qinglian Guan is really determined to do something to the Zhou family, in fact, the Zhou family really has no resistance at all.

It's different now!

Now that Qingxiao has fallen, if Qinglian Guan really does it against the Zhou family again, the Zhou family will have a lot of power to fight back!

Whether it was Lin Hongyu, a Jindan period monk, or the Zhou family's [Nine Palace Yellow Dragon Great Array], they could all pose a threat to the Jindan stage monks of the Qinglian Temple, not to mention that the Zhou family also had several Jindan family allies.

Zhou Chun believed that as long as the Jindan monks of Qinglian Temple were not all crazy, as long as the Zhou family did not touch the core interests of Qinglian Temple, they would definitely not attack the Zhou family in the face immediately after the end of the war.

As for the actions in secret, it's a big deal that after the war, several Purple Mansion monks of the Zhou family will not leave the family mountain gate station!

As long as it is delayed until he succeeds in Zhou Chun's marriage, all problems will no longer be a problem.

"Besides, I still have this in my hand!"

Zhou Chun looked at the secret book in his hand, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Then he soon went to meet with the commander Wei Yong.

"My subordinates meet the commander."

In the main hall, Zhou Chun saluted when he saw him, and his face was hard to hide with joy.

"There is no need to be polite, looking at your happy face, is there something happy you have encountered?"

Wei Yong glanced at his expression, waved his hand slightly, and asked with a smile.

"Ahem, it's not a happy event, it's just that there is something I want to present to the commander."

Zhou Chun coughed lightly with some embarrassment and handed over the secret book in his hand.

After all, Qingxiao Zhenren died for the sake of righteousness, although Zhou Chun knew that there must be some transactions in it, but he definitely couldn't say that he was very happy with the fall of the other party.

Even in the face of Wei Yong, it can't be.

Fortunately, Wei Yong didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, but just uncovered the secret book he handed over and checked it.

At this look, the expression on Wei Yong's face also became ugly.

I saw that after he quickly read the contents of the secret book, he looked at Zhou Chun with a gloomy face and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

"It was obtained from the 'Netherworld' Yin Shaotian, at that time, his subordinates and Li Qianyang dealt with this fang together, and in the end, this fang was swallowed by the fourth-order ghost king summoned by himself, and the relics on his body were obtained by his subordinates and Li Qianyang, and the original of this secret book also fell into the hands of the juniors, and Li Qianyang just copied a copy!"

Zhou Chun said the details in a calm tone, and there was nothing to add to it.

After learning that Qingxiao Zhenren had fallen, there was no need for him to desperately smear Qinglianguan.

And Wei Yong listened to his answer, and also looked at him deeply, then nodded and said: "This seat knows, this thing will be handed over to the Silver Moon Patriarch at this seat, and see what his old man thinks." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Zhou Chun saw that the goal was achieved, so he also looked at Wei Yong and asked about the end of the war.

"Although the war is basically over now, many Demon Dao monks are still hiding in remote places, lurking in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, so according to the commanders' intentions, the Heavenly Spirit Legion cannot be disbanded so quickly."

"But even if it doesn't disbanded now, there won't be so many people, after all, the rear also needs some people to go back to guard!"

"Therefore, this seat estimates that in the future, all countries should send some of their own monks back to station in order to hunt down and arrest the demon cultivators who are causing trouble."

Wei Yong didn't hide it from Zhou Chun, and immediately told what he knew.

Listening to his answer, Zhou Chun also put his heart back in his stomach.

This is an official declaration that the war is over!

So he quickly asked, "How is the reward calculated?" His subordinates have also accumulated a lot of battle exploits and [Demon Order] that have not been used! ”

"You can rest assured about this, the reward will definitely be carried out according to the original standard, and there may even be more optional benefits added later, if you don't have anything special to exchange now, you can wait a little longer!"

Wei Yong smiled slightly, which was another reassuring pill for him.

Zhou Chun was also very knowledgeable, and immediately saluted and thanked: "So the juniors are relieved, thank you for the commander to solve the adult's doubts." ”

Then he handed over the photo beads and related demon path materials that recorded that he had killed various demon cultivators before, and asked him to repay his merits.

Since the original battle in the Absolute Desert, these people recorded their exploits through the Shadow Beads, and later they all strongly implored the legion to develop the exchange of this treasure.

And the upper echelons of the legion can be regarded as complying with public opinion, and put on the shelves a batch of photo beads for the monks below to exchange.

However, due to the trouble of refining and the high demand, at that time, only the monks of the Purple Mansion Period were eligible for exchange.

After Wei Yong took the things he handed over, Zhou Chun didn't bother the other party much, and directly took the initiative to retire and leave.

After a few more days of waiting, a further order was given.

According to the order, all monks who have served for more than ten years, as well as monks who have made outstanding achievements, can directly retire and return to their places of origin, and those who do not want to retire can continue to serve in the legion.

Among them, Zhou Chun is undoubtedly in line with the article of outstanding meritorious service.

Not only him, but even Zhou Zhengyong also met the criteria for meritorious retirement for monks in the foundation building period.

It's a pity that Zhou Daoyi doesn't meet the requirements, so he can only continue to stay in the legion to serve.

But this is not an unacceptable thing for the Zhou family.

Therefore, after learning that he could retire, Zhou Chun found Zhou Zhengyong and prepared for the two to return to the family first.

It's just that when the two of them set off, Zhou Zhengyong suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and proposed: "If you go back to the family here, you just happened to pass near Sanxian Mountain, and I haven't been back for many years, so it's better to stop by this time to have a look." ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was also slightly stunned.

Sanxian Mountain is the location of the original mountain gate of Sanjue Gate, and it can also be said to be the ancestral land of the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Chun was already in Yasukuni when he came to this world, although he fused the memories of the original body, he had never really lived in Sanxian Mountain after all, and he didn't have many special feelings there.

However, at this time, he glanced at Zhou Zhengyong, who had already grown gray hair on his head, and Zhou Chun immediately understood what the other party meant.

So he quickly nodded and said, "Brother Yong, you're right, it's time to go over and have a look." ”

Then they let the golden-winged tiger come out to walk, and the two brothers went to the location of the Three Immortals Mountain together.

The Golden-winged Tiger was extremely fast, and in less than half a day, he took Zhou Chun and the others to the vicinity of Sanxian Mountain.

After the Three Peerless Sects were forced to leave Yasukuni, these Three Immortal Mountains fell into the hands of the She family, a cultivator family close to the Corpse Demon Sect.

Later, with the invasion of the Yuan Demon Realm, the She family followed the Corpse Demon Sect to join the Yuan Demon Legion, and this place also became the station of the Yuan Demon Legion.

But now this place has long been breached by the Heavenly Spirit Legion and has become a battalion headquarters station.

Although Zhou Chun and Zhou Zhengyong had retired from the Heavenly Spirit Legion at this time and handed in their identity tokens, after all, Zhou Chun's reputation was loud enough.

After learning that he had come to his family's hometown to pay his respects, the Jindan monks who were sitting here also gave them face and let them in directly.

When you enter the Three Immortal Mountains, the first thing that catches your eye is the three thousand-zhang peaks, which are an important part of the origin of the name "Three Immortal Mountains".

After the spiritual veins of the Three Immortal Mountains were leveled by the mages of the Gaoming Array, there was a spiritual eye on each of the three peaks, and the concentration of spiritual energy on the three peaks was basically the same.

At the beginning, the three families of the Three Peerless Sects each occupied a mountain peak as the foundation of the family.

It's just that after more than a hundred years, during which it has been full of wars, in addition to the mountains and rivers of today's Three Immortal Mountains, which can still match the Three Immortal Mountains in Zhou Chun's memory, the rest of the traces of the Three Peerless Gates are almost completely non-existent.

"Hey! It's just that just over a hundred years have passed, and it has completely become a human being! ”

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar mountains and rivers under his feet, even if Zhou Zhengyong had a thousand words in his heart, he could only turn into such a sigh in the end.

Zhou Chun had already expected this.

But he didn't comfort Zhou Zhengyong anything, just silently accompanied the other party to walk around the mountain, relying on the past.

When Zhou Zhengyong walked all over the place he wanted to go to, saying that it was enough, the two of them went together to say goodbye to the Jindan monks stationed here.

I didn't want to say goodbye, but the Jindan monk stationed in the garrison suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Actually, if Zhou Daoyou wants to regain his family's hometown, it is not without a chance. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chun was also shocked, and immediately exclaimed: "Why did Senior Lu say this? ”

"Isn't that simple? Although this time the demon cultivators of the Yuan Demon Realm were driven away, the original forces of the Fengguo Immortal Cultivation Realm were also shuffled, and only the most powerful corpse demon sects had successfully escaped from the high-level and some elites. ”

"Zhou Daoyou, you have made outstanding achievements in this battle, and the Zhou family is the former owner of the Three Immortal Mountains, if you can find a senior who can speak in the legion to help speak, it should not be difficult to recapture the family hometown here!"

Monk Lu surnamed Jin Dan smiled slightly and expressed his opinion.

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun quickly calmed down.

That's right, Brother Lu's words sounded very correct and reasonable at first glance.

But the problem is that even he has to be called a predecessor, and he must be a real person in the Yuan Infant Stage.

And Zhou Chunke didn't have the ability to go to a real person in the infancy stage to help the Zhou family talk, even if he went to find a real person who worshiped the moon, the other party would not agree to this.

So this thing seems to be possible, but in reality it is not possible to do it at all.

What's more, Sanxian Mountain is not only the hometown of the Zhou family, but also the hometown of the Li family of the pill and the family of the formation You family.

If it was learned that the Zhou family had occupied Sanxian Mountain on the grounds of recovering their hometown, the two families would have to intervene as well.

But for Zhou Chun, even if he didn't want the spiritual land of Sanxian Mountain, he didn't want to rebuild the Three Peerless Gates with these two families.

After all, the current Zhou family has every hope of reaching the heyday of the Three Peerless Sects with the strength of one family.

These thoughts quickly passed through in his heart, but Zhou Chun's face still saluted and thanked Brother Lu surnamed Jindan: "The juniors understand, thank you Senior Lu for your guidance." ”

"It's easy to say, Zhou Daoyou walks slowly."

Brother Lu surnamed Jin Dan watched Zhou Chun and the others leave with a smile on his face.

After leaving the Three Immortals Mountain like this, Zhou Zhengyong suddenly asked to go and see the nearby Zhou family mortals.

Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

It's just that because the demon cultivators wantonly killed people and practiced in the territory of Fengguo, the number of mortals in these areas ruled by the demon cultivators was less than one in a hundred compared to before.

The cities and villages where the Zhou family mortals used to live are now in ruins, and no one survives.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhengyong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "These demon cultivators have really lost their conscience, and they don't know how the mortals of the Yuan Demon Land Realm survived!" ”

Zhou Chun knew a little about this.

As far as he knew, the mortals of the Yuan Demon Realm could not form a state at all, they all existed in the form of city-states and tribes, and they often fought at war with each other.

Those mortals who died on the battlefield, their corpses and souls would be used by the demon cultivators who accompanied the army to practice.

Most of the time, the materials for demon cultivation are obtained in this way.

Only in some special circumstances, when large-scale blood sacrifices are needed, will the demon cultivator forces above the city-states and tribes directly slaughter the city.

From this point of view, the demon cultivators are obviously just bad, not stupid, and they all know that they can't be solid and fish.

It's a pity that in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, these demon cultivators chose to consolidate Ze and fish, probably because they didn't think they could really occupy this place at the beginning!

"Since you can't find anyone, forget it."

Zhou Chun glanced at the ruins under his feet, and persuaded Zhou Zhengyong.

He was also in a hurry to go back to discuss relevant matters with Zhou Mingde, and he didn't want to waste time because of some trivial matters.

However, just as he persuaded Zhou Zhengyong, and the two were about to return to Zhou's house on the road again, suddenly a roar of fighting methods sounded from the mountains not far away.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhengyong immediately said: "Let's go over and take a look, maybe there is the existence of mortals from my Zhou family there." ”

"Then let's go over and have a look."

Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately grabbed Zhou Zhengyong and flew to the place where the battle took place.

Relying on his powerful divine sense, Zhou Chun discovered the situation on the battlefield from a long distance.

It turned out that a team of Heavenly Spirit Legions was besieging and killing several demon cultivators, and there was indeed a mortal settlement near the battlefield.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately grabbed those demon cultivators and handed them over to the monks who surrounded them.

And then he sent them all away in the gratitude of those men.

After that, he and Zhou Zhengyong went to the mortal settlement, and asked the surviving mortals here: "Is there a person surnamed Zhou among you?" Can anyone still remember the Zhou family of the Three Peerless Gates? ”

Hearing his words, there was a commotion among those mortals.

There are many people who seem to have something to say, but they don't dare to really speak out as if they are afraid of something.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong immediately said: "You don't have to worry about anything, the two of us are also surnamed Zhou, but the descendants of the original Zhou family of the Three Peerless Sects, even if you are not surnamed Zhou, we will not make a move on you mortals!" ”

As soon as these words came out, even a middle-aged man who looked seriously lacking in qi and blood stood up, looked at the two of them with surprise on his face and said in a trembling voice: "Really? You, no, are the two immortal masters really the monks of the Zhou family of the Three Peerless Sects? ”

"Naturally, it's true, why should we monks deceive mortals like you for this!"

Zhou Zhengyong bowed slightly, and didn't care about the other party's rudeness.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof", and shouted with joy: "The immortal master is above, and the descendant Zhou Dongyun will visit the immortal master!" ”

"And me, I am also a descendant of the Zhou family!"

"Zhou Hu, a descendant of the Zhou family, greets the Immortal Master!"

"Zhou Mei, a descendant of the Zhou family, greets the Immortal Master!"

As if he had opened an opening, as the middle-aged man fell to the ground, many mortals of the Zhou family fell to the ground one after another.

When other mortals who were not surnamed Zhou saw this, they showed a panicked look, and many of them also fell to the ground with their bows, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

And just when Zhou Chun wanted to open his mouth to let these people get up, a young man kneeling on the ground suddenly kowtowed to him and begged: "Master Immortal, Lord Immortal, please save Lian'er!" She is also a descendant of the Zhou family, please save her!! ”

And after the young man finished speaking, among the other mortals of the Zhou family who knelt down, some people quickly followed him to plead for mercy.

"Yes, Master Immortal, please save Lian'er, she is a good girl, she saved a lot of us before!"

"That's right, Master Immortal, since you are the immortal master of the Zhou family, please be sure to save Lian'er, she is also an immortal cultivator of my Zhou family!"

Listening to these pleading, Zhou Chun was also a little curious.

He knew that mortals were generally afraid of immortal cultivators, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for immortal cultivators, not to mention that these mortals of the Zhou family should have been tortured by demon cultivators, and it stands to reason that they are even more afraid of immortal cultivators.

In this case, if they can plead to him in unison to save someone, that person must be extraordinary.

When even waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, you make things clear first, if you want Zhou to save people, you must also see people first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man who was the first to plead hurriedly told him about the situation, and led him to the place where the woman named "Lian'er" was.

When he followed the young man to the outside of a cellar, Zhou Chun almost understood the situation.

He swept the cellar with his senses, and saw that in the cellar, which was nearly two feet deep, a beautiful woman was lying quietly on a small bed, her eyes were closed, and her face was pale.

The woman looked extremely beautiful at first glance, but because Zhou Chun was a divine scanner, it was easy to find the shocking situation under this beautiful face.

I saw that the woman's body covered with a quilt below the neck was covered with all kinds of hideous blood marks, which seemed to have been slowly cut by someone with a knife, and in addition to the blood marks, there were many sores that had healed.

This woman also has cultivation in her body, which is about the third layer of the Qi refining period, but it is the breath of magic skills.

And the breath of life on her body is now extremely faint, almost dead.

The young man who brought Zhou Chun obviously knew about the woman's situation, and when he saw that Zhou Chun was just standing at the mouth of the cellar, he knelt down again and cried and begged: "Those demons threatened her with the lives of all of us in order to let Lian'er cooperate with them in cultivating magic skills, Lian'er, she endured endless pain and refused to commit suicide in order to save us, please save her, Lord Immortal, you must save her!" ”

Zhou Chun roughly understood the situation clearly at this time.

Those demon cultivators should have escaped from the nearby battlefield after the stronghold of the Three Immortals Mountain was breached.

Because they didn't have time to flee to the rear, and they happened to establish a secret stronghold here in advance, they had been hiding here, controlling these mortals as slaves to supply and cultivate.

And the woman in the cellar should have the spiritual root qualification, and was cultivated into a blood slave by one of the demon cultivators of the Blood Bone Gate.

In order to make the woman willing to be her own blood slave, the demon cultivator threatened the lives of her relatives and friends.

As for the scars on the woman's body, it is estimated that they were caused by some kind of perverted habit of demon cultivation.

Zhou Zhengyong was beside Zhou Chun, and he also heard the situation clearly, and after discovering the tragic situation of the woman in the cellar at this time, he couldn't help but sigh: "For the sake of relatives and friends to be able to sacrifice themselves to feed the devil, I will not give up even if I cut a thousand knives, this woman is really noble, but unfortunately she was born at the wrong time!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Thirteenth brother, if you can save it, let's save this woman, even if you abolish her cultivation in the future and let her be a mortal!" ”

He usually wouldn't call Zhou Chun that way.

Now that it's called that, it says a lot.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun listened to his words, he also nodded lightly and said, "I'll try my best!" ”

If you can't make it up today, you will continue to make up the word count tomorrow.
