Lin Hongyu, as the nominal first Jindan monk of the Zhou family, although she usually doesn't care about things in the Zhou family, she has accumulated power for hundreds of years, and she also has a pivotal position in the circle of monks of the Zhou family.

Like Xu Fu, who is voting now, he was still a junior who was slowly honed under her back then.

What's more, she is also the Taoist companion of Zhou Daoyi, the elder of the family.

So when she voted for Zhou Zhiqian, things became a little delicate.

Just like Zhou Zhiying was influenced by his father Xu Fu just now and voted for Zhou Zhixiong.

Who dares to guarantee that Zhou Daoyi will not be influenced by Lin Hongyu and make the same choice as his Taoist partner?

At this time, the core clansmen who attended the meeting but did not have the right to vote couldn't help but look at Zhou Daoyi, even Zhou Xinyan, who had not yet voted.

You must know that according to the rules, Elder Taishang has five votes for one person!

Therefore, now as long as Zhou Daoyi chooses whomever he chooses, he will be able to obtain the qualification for the exchange of knotted spirit objects.

"What about you? Which of them are you more optimistic about? ”

Zhou Daoyi didn't seem to know that he had the final decision, but just looked at Zhou Xinyan with a calm expression and asked for his opinion.

Seeing this, Zhou Xinyan's face suddenly showed hesitation.

He actually had a plan for a long time, but now this situation makes him have to think about it more.

Because he couldn't figure out Zhou Daoyi's thoughts, he also cared more about Zhou Zhiying's other background.

But at this time, facing the gaze of many clansmen, he couldn't wait for a long time.

Finally, after carefully weighing it in his heart, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and said: "I also voted for Zhiqian, and I am more optimistic about his success rate!" ”

This slippery head!

Hearing Zhou Xinyan's words, many core clansmen below secretly scolded him for being too tactful.

But now it's two votes against two, and the final choice still falls on Zhou Daoyi.

Everyone's eyes could only continue to turn back to him.

And Zhou Daoyi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and at this time he quickly nodded his head lightly and said: "Since it is two votes against two votes, then this decision will be made by this seat." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Zhixiong and said: "I am also more optimistic about Zhixiong's talisman talent, I hope he can succeed in marrying Dan and make more and better talismans for the family in the future!" ”

When the words fell, Zhou Zhixiong was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly got up excitedly and bowed to him and said, "Thank you Elder Taishang for your attention, the younger generation will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

On the other hand, Zhou Zhiqian, after his complexion changed for a while at this time, he quickly calmed down again, and seemed to have accepted this result.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi also nodded secretly, and immediately said to him: "Zhiqian, although you failed this time, you don't have to be too frustrated, after all, with your longevity, you can continue to wait for the next application!" ”

"Yes, juniors understand."

Zhou Zhiqian bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully.

But in fact, he didn't take Zhou Daoyi's words seriously in his heart.

In another thirty years, he will be more than four hundred years old, and at that time, even if he obtains the knot pill spirit object, the success rate of the knot pill will be affected.

With his temperament, he is obviously unwilling to wait like this.

And after the results came out, the first meeting for the distribution of spiritual objects after the reform of the family this week was over.

Zhou Zhixiong, who had obtained the qualification to exchange for the knot pill spirit object, looked for people everywhere to borrow good deeds after he came out, and was ready to exchange the knot pill spirit object.

With his excellent talisman making skills, he has actually accumulated many family merits over the centuries.

It's just that before, whether it was Zhuji Dan or assisting in opening up the Purple Mansion spiritual objects, as well as some elixir spiritual objects that assisted in cultivation, it cost him a lot of good deeds.

And his goal is to exchange for a complete set of knot pill spirit objects.

Therefore, it is certainly not enough to rely on the good deeds accumulated by oneself.

At the same time, because of his excellent talisman making skills, the core clansmen in the family who have a lot of good deeds, and even Xu Fu and other family elders have a good relationship with him, and they are naturally willing to lend him some good deeds at this time.

In fact, Zhou Zhiqian will fail to compete with him this time, and it may not have nothing to do with this aspect.

After all, although Zhou Zhiqian seems to have better qualifications, the problem is that he has not been in the family for decades, and his relationship with other clansmen is not very good, and he lacks the opportunity to fight side by side with other clansmen to resist the beast tide.

Therefore, when he competes with Zhou Zhixiong, a genius talisman maker, there will be more people who are willing to support him.

In fact, when he went to Zhou Xinyan before the meeting, although Zhou Xinyan did not clearly state that he would support him, he was generally more optimistic about him.

Zhou Zhiqian himself is estimated to be clear about this situation now, so after the results came out, he quickly chose to accept his fate.

After Zhou Chun learned the voting results, he did not say anything about it, but just asked his apprentice Zhou Zhiying to send Zhou Zhiqian a fourth-order lower-grade defense talisman and 300,000 spirit coins, which was clearly a personal reward for him to create a sword cultivation for the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhiqian is also a smart person, and after receiving the things and words forwarded by Zhou Zhiying, he understood Zhou Chun's meaning.

So after thanking Zhou Chun, he exchanged his family's good deeds for various spiritual objects that enhanced his strength, and then said goodbye to Zhou Daoyi and left the family.

Since his popularity in the family is not as good as Zhou Zhixiong, and his contribution is not as great as that of the other party, he can only look for opportunities outside in the way he is good at.

This kind of thing that everything can be obtained only with the sword in the hand is also more in line with the cultivation path of sword cultivation!

On this day, Zhou Chun was cultivating the "Falling Treasure Golden Light" supernatural power in the cave mansion, and suddenly received a summons from Zhou Daoyi.

After reading the summons, he first continued to practice his supernatural powers for a while, until he successfully defeated the third-order high-grade magic weapon of the Taoist envoy Su Yuzhen with this supernatural power, and then invited Zhou Daoyi to come to the cave to talk about it.

And Su Yuzhen saw that after his magic weapon was defeated, he directly lost contact with himself, and he couldn't help but praise and compliment the Taoist companion: "Husband, this magic power is progressing rapidly, and I think I will be able to defeat the magic weapon in the near future, and it will live up to the name of the treasure at that time!" ”

But after Zhou Chun heard this, he shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's still far away, the opponent I will face in the future, the magic weapon in my hand is at the best level, if this magic power wants to defeat this level of treasure, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of years of hard cultivation to achieve it!" ”

Under the lofty position of the Yuan Infant Monk, the speed of cultivating supernatural powers is naturally much faster than that of ordinary monks.

It's like this "Falling Treasure Golden Light" supernatural power, he hasn't even practiced every day, and he has cultivated to the point where he can defeat a third-order high-grade magic weapon in one or two decades.

But the more any supernatural power goes, the more difficult it becomes to practice.

Although this "Falling Treasure Golden Light" divine power has great potential, theoretically it is possible to defeat the Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

But in fact, the difficulty of cultivating later is even greater than that of the "Golden Escape Technique".

If you want to achieve the point of defeating the best magic weapon, you can't complete it without hundreds of years of penance, and you have to take the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Period as the premise.

But even so, Zhou Chun still had to persist in cultivating.

Because this supernatural power is indeed extremely useful behind it, not to mention that he can also increase the power of this supernatural power through his natal supernatural power [Poor Qi Dream].

Including the [Phaseless Gengjin Divine Light] divine power, it is the same, and now it has almost become the most important divine power for Zhou Chun.

The last time he fought with Xuan Zhenren, the power shown by this supernatural power made him very satisfied, and he was also very much looking forward to the power of this supernatural power after it was completed.

What's more, this [Phaseless Gengjin Divine Light] can also speed up the progress of cultivation through some foreign objects.

For example, if a top-level spiritual material like [Gengjin] is decomposed and absorbed and refined with divine light, it can speed up the cultivation progress of this divine power.

Zhou Chun plans to focus on collecting top-level spiritual materials like [Gengjin] when he participates in some exchange meetings in the future.

Not long after, Zhou Daoyi, who was invited by him to transmit the sound, came to the cave mansion, and Su Yuzhen retired after serving tea to the two, without the intention of interfering with the Zhou family's family affairs.

"The matter has been investigated, the disappearance and fall of Zhou Baisheng's parents back then was deliberately faked to death, in fact, both of them were taken to practice in another courtyard under the jurisdiction of the Moon Wheel Sect."

"And Zhou Baisheng still has his own concubines and children there, and they have all become disciples of the Moon Wheel Sect."

"From this, it can be deduced that Zhou Baisheng successfully built the foundation back then, and he should have been supported by the resources of the Moon Wheel Sect, and he himself had already been corrupted by the Moon Wheel Sect and became a traitor to the family!"

After Zhou Daoyi took a sip of tea, he said the results of the investigation in the past two years in a low tone.

With the current strength and resources of the Zhou family, it is good that they have not found any differences before.

After knowing that Zhou Baisheng was a traitor, it would not be difficult to find out the reason for his betrayal by going through the family files, investigating his past travel records and contacts with people, and mobilizing intelligence officers from all sides to collect information.

It's just that this consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can't be done for every tribe.

In addition, if everyone is really investigated like this, it is easy to make people panic insiders.

After all, immortal cultivators are very concerned about privacy, and many Zhou family cultivators are behaving in the family, but no one knows if they are committing adultery outside.

When the time comes, if you find out, whether to deal with it or not is another complicated issue!

And after Zhou Chun listened to Zhou Daoyi's words, he just nodded lightly and said: "The breath on Zhou Baisheng's body that day gave me a sense of familiarity, guessing that it was the soul possession of the real person of Yinyue, and now it seems that the matter is really the Moon Wheel Sect is playing ghosts!" ”

"In this way, counting the few people who were interrogated before, there are as many as five spies planted by the Moon Wheel Sect in my Zhou family, and this is only what we found, and most of the people who have not been found are still there."

When Zhou Daoyi said this, a trace of anger also appeared in his eyes.

Although it is very normal for various forces to plant spies in other forces in the country.

However, the Zhou family is a family of cultivating immortals, and it is undoubtedly very annoying that the clansmen are bribed and betrayed by others like this.

Zhou Chun naturally noticed the anger in the eyes of this elder, and after thinking about it, he said: "In this way, send an official letter to the Moon Wheel Sect in my name, ask them why they want to destroy the relationship between the two forces, and see how they respond first." ”

"Didn't the people from the Burning Sun Sect also find a few? Send them an official letter to question them. ”

Speaking of this, he also said a little helplessly: "Although it is indeed a little painless to do this, but under the current circumstances, the family is really not suitable for blind expansion, it is better to wait for one or two hundred years, and wait for the number and quality of the family to meet the expansion needs, and then find trouble for them, let them cut the meat!" ”

You can't become a fat man by eating in one go.

The current territory of the Zhou family is not yet fully digested, and it is not advisable to blindly occupy more territory.

Therefore, they can only take it step by step, and only after the quantity and quality of the monks have gone up, can they continue to occupy more resources and snowball to expand their own power.

Zhou Daoyi also understands this truth.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Chun's words, he could only extinguish his anger, and then nodded and said, "I understand, then let's do it first." ”

Subsequently, he sent official letters to both factions in the name of Zhou Chun.

Although the two factions received the official letter, they did not reply, as if there was no such thing.

Anyway, they all know that now that the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated, it doesn't matter whether they explain it or not.

If the Zhou family really wants to do something to them, it won't be an excuse.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since Luo Qingni's successful marriage.

On this day, Zhou Chun had broken through a small level on the "Golden Escape Technique", and happily invited Luo Qingni to come to the door to taste tea and discuss the Tao to exchange cultivation experiences.

But he didn't want the two to communicate halfway, Zhou Daoyi suddenly came to the outside of his cave with an anxious look and knocked on the door to ask for a meeting.

This made him frown slightly, and hurriedly let the person in.

"Something is wrong, a crack suddenly appeared in Uncle Mingde's soul card half an hour ago, as if he was worried about his life!"

Zhou Daoyi knew that the stakes were very high, and as soon as he saw Zhou Chun, he directly said the reason why he came in a hurry.

Then Zhou Chun's complexion changed instantly.

"Let's go, go to the ancestral shrine first!"

With a gloomy face, he waved his hand, and immediately took Zhou Daoyi and flew down to the ancestral hall together, and came to the quiet room where the soul card was stored.

There are old men of the Zhou family who have cultivated above the foundation here all the year round, and the requirement for these monks on duty is that once they come here to be on duty, they will not be allowed to leave the mountain gate for half a step in this life!

At this time, the person on duty here is a white-haired old woman who has the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building.

She was already in the place where Zhou Mingde's soul card was stored, and she looked at the soul card with nervous eyes.

It wasn't until he noticed that someone was coming behind him, and after looking back, he hurriedly bowed to the two people who came and saluted: "Senior Zhou Yuanhe, meet the patriarch, meet the elder Taishang." ”

"Xiaohe, you go out first, we will call you if necessary."

Zhou Daoyi waved his hand and directly let the old woman go out first.

Then he and Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Mingde's cracked soul card and waited together.

All they can do is wait.

Because the place where Zhou Mingde traveled outside was not close to the family, even if Zhou Chun rushed over with all his might, it would not be able to arrive in a day or two.

And if there is a real possibility of his fall, the result should be soon.

After waiting like this for almost half an hour, seeing that the soul card was not really broken, both of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Seeing that Zhou Chun quickly said in a deep voice: "The soul card is not broken, which means that his old man has not fallen yet, but he has encountered a heavy blow that hurts his soul, and there is still a chance to rescue him!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and asked, "Uncle, do you know where his old man has traveled now?" ”

"Two years ago, someone sent the news that he had traveled to Wuyang Kingdom, which was close to the Extreme West Immortal Cultivation Realm, and was going to travel to the Extreme West Immortal Cultivation Realm in the future!"

Zhou Daoyi quickly said what he knew.

According to the rules of the Zhou family, the clansmen above the status of the core clan go out to travel, and every five years they have to ask someone to pass on the news back to the family, roughly informing them of their location and the region they are going to.

In this way, whether there is something on the family side, or something happens, the family sends someone to investigate, it will not be like a headless fly.

Zhou Mingde has traveled for many years, and he has always abided by this rule, often asking some multinational chambers of commerce to transmit news to the Great Zhou Kingdom, which is easy to receive, and then passed it back to the family through the Zhou family monks.

Hearing his answer at this time, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will take his old man's soul card to the vicinity of Wuyang Kingdom to find it, and the family side will be handed over to you, uncle!" ”

When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he immediately responded: "On the family side, don't worry, if possible, you must save the life of Uncle Mingde and his old man!" ”

"I will."

Zhou Chunyan replied succinctly, and immediately waved his sleeves to put away the cracked soul card, and then exchanged a few words with Luo Qingni Chuanyin, who was still in his cave, and quickly left the family mountain gate with Yinlongjun and Feng Yuanjun.

Saving people is like fighting fire, after leaving the mountain gate, Zhou Chun directly let Yinlongjun manifest his body, and then flew to the extreme west to cultivate immortals with Feng Yuanjun.

The flying speed of the fifth-order Thunder Jiao King was naturally faster than Zhou Chun's own, and in less than three days, he came to the territory of Wuyang Kingdom, which was close to the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the extreme west.

In order not to alarm the top-level existence of this country and bring obstacles to saving people, Zhou Chun could only let Yinlongjun and Fengyuanjun suffer some grievances at this time, and return to the spirit beast bag to stay first.

Then he took out Zhou Mingde's soul card.

More than two days have passed, and the crack on the soul card has become a little bigger, but it has not been broken.

This shows that Zhou Mingde's injuries have only worsened and become more serious, and he has not fallen.

Zhou Chun was also a little relieved, and immediately used Zhou Mingde's wisp of divine soul origin in the soul card as a medium, and used the tracing secret method to find out where his body was.

But what made Zhou Chun's complexion change slightly was that he even changed several tracing secret methods, but they did not have the expected effect.

It seems that there is some kind of strong resistance to isolate the arcane method tracking effect!

"If this happens, either Elder Taishang and his old man have been captured and imprisoned in a special isolation formation, or they have fallen into a special secret realm space, or they have fallen into a secret realm cave with an isolation tracking effect!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and he instantly deduced several of the most likely outcomes.

Then the first outcome is ruled out in the first place.

Because if you can do that, the best way at this time is actually to kill the person, so that it will be difficult for the tracking secret method to take effect again!

If the latter two cases are the case, then it is necessary to find out the situation with the local monks.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun immediately turned his cultivation into a mid-stage Jindan monk, and then immediately flew to several large markets in Wuyang Kingdom.

Originally, according to his own thoughts, he wanted to directly arrest a few local Jindan monks and ask for the intelligence information he wanted.

But after he went to Fang City and investigated a little, he knew what happened to Zhou Mingde.

It turned out that just a few days ago, a void secret realm suddenly appeared above an ancient battlefield in Wuyang Kingdom, attracting many monks who rushed to enter it to explore and hunt for treasures.

But now that the entrance to the Void Secret Realm has been jointly controlled by the Earth Mother Sect, the largest force in the Wuyang Kingdom, and the other two major forces, prohibiting monks from not the three forces from entering.

After Zhou Chun found out about the news, he immediately knew that Zhou Mingde had entered that Void Secret Realm.

The so-called Void Secret Realm, as the name suggests, is a secret realm space formed in the void.

Some of this Void Secret Realm was originally naturally formed, but more of it was artificially created.

It is said that in ancient times, this kind of Void Secret Realm was very popular, and those powerful forces would open up some such Void Secret Realm to hide treasures or do something inconvenient for outsiders to know.

However, in order to artificially open up this kind of Void Secret Realm, first of all, you must at least have the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant, and then you must find a suitable space gap to master the method of opening up the Void Secret Realm, and then spend a lot of rare resources to arrange the space formation to maintain the operation of the secret realm.

Therefore, after the ancient period, many artificially opened up Void Secret Realms collapsed and disappeared on their own because they were not properly maintained.

The Void Secret Realm that can still exist in the Immortal Cultivation Realm today is either a naturally generated secret realm space, or there is a large force that consumes resources to maintain it for a long time.

Seriously speaking, Zhou Chun had also been to such a Void Secret Realm, that is, the "Heavenly Spirit Trial" that he had participated in when he had only cultivated during the Qi cultivation period.

That place of trial, which was a natural secret space that the Heavenly Spirit Sect had discovered and mastered, had been transformed into this unique place of trial.

From this, it can also be seen that the Void Secret Realm is not all full of opportunities and treasures.

Some Void Secret Realms have a thin spiritual energy, and in addition to being able to use it as a large warehouse, it actually doesn't have much use.

But since this Void Secret Realm that appeared in Wuyang Kingdom has made several big forces such as the Earth Mother Sect pay so much attention to it, I'm afraid it is not the kind of Void Secret Realm that is useful for chicken ribs!

After understanding the situation in this way, Zhou Chun suddenly frowned, and couldn't help muttering: "It's a little troublesome now, many Void Secret Realms will exclude Yuan Infant Stage cultivators from entering, if I want to go in to save the Supreme Elder, I can only send an avatar to save it, and I don't know if the secret realm will isolate the connection between the incarnation and my body!" ”

Over the years, Zhou Chun naturally did not ignore the cultivation of the Taiyi Two-Point Divine Technique, and this technique was not very far from the second layer of Dacheng realm.

But before cultivating the legendary "Second Elemental Baby", the main body still needs to maintain a strong connection with the avatar to keep the avatar running.

Otherwise, the avatar will not have the support of the body, and the split soul will directly fall into dormancy to maintain its own immortality.

And despite his worries in this regard, Zhou Chun quickly rushed to the vicinity of the location of the Void Secret Realm.

When he arrived near the location of the Void Secret Realm, he found that the three major forces of the Wuyang Kingdom had already placed martial law on the area hundreds of miles near the entrance.

And many immortal monks gathered outside to watch, discussing the situation related to the Void Secret Realm.

Zhou Chun also easily inquired from some monks who had witnessed it before, and learned that before the monks of the three major forces appeared and blocked the entrance to the Void Secret Realm, there was indeed a Jindan Stage monk who broke into the secret realm with a fire attribute fourth-order demon beast spirit pet.
