Under the deterrence of Zhou Yang's strong personal strength and prestige, the Zhou family development plan formulated by Zhou Guangxiang was successfully implemented.

In a short period of time, these plans may not be effective, but with the fermentation of time, Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang both believe and affirm that the Zhou family will greatly benefit from this, and the strength and quality of the family monks will reach a new level.

What's more, beating a stick to give a sweet jujube has always been Zhou Yang's usual method of governing the family.

Here, he just scolded and shocked all the clansmen, and then he gave Zhou Guangxiang instructions to select those clansmen who made rapid progress to focus on training in the future assessment.

For those family cultivators who have reached the middle stage of Qi cultivation and can pass the assessment within the specified assessment time three times in a row, they can even give the Tsukidan in the form of a loan.

In the past few years, when he was in retreat, Xiao Ying was not idle at all.

The spirit grass elixir he brought out from the Kunxu Realm, except for some particularly precious things, was handed over to Daoist Xiao Ying for alchemy, along with many fourth-order demon pills.

In just three years, Xiao Ying used the spirit herb elixir he gave, plus the spirit herb elixir in the Zhou family's inventory, to refine five furnaces of Zhuji Dan and several furnaces of fourth-order elixir.

With a large number of foundation building pills in his hands, and now that the Zhou family has become the overlord of the boundless sand sea cultivation immortal realm, he also needs to maintain a certain number of foundation building period monks to support the scene, and Zhou Yang will not be stingy with just a few spirit pills.

Zhou Yang was no longer in charge of specific affairs, and after the family meeting, he returned to Lingxi Peak and retreated with Taoist Xiao Ying.

In this retreat, Zhou Yang wanted to use the power of the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to help Daoist Xiao Ying be promoted to the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion, and at the same time, he himself wanted to see if he could seize the time to make a breakthrough in cultivation.

When Zhou Yang was in retreat, Zhou Guangxiang implemented the reform plan in a big way.

First of all, the production of clan uniforms, the Zhou family has domesticated the "Flame Devouring Spider" for more than two hundred years, and a large number of finished spider silk has been accumulated in the family treasury.

This was followed by the expansion of the staff of the newly merged Gripen Hall.

This Eagle and Lion Hall was formed by the merger of the Zhou family's original Battle Hall and the Security Hall, and the number of monks in the two halls combined was nearly two hundred, but in order to achieve Zhou Guangxiang's plan, this number was far from enough.

So in the next few years, the Zhou family either recruited Keqing to worship from outside, or selected from their own family and several vassal family monks, and gathered nearly a hundred people to join them.

The 300-person Eagle Lion Hall is personally served as the hall master by Zhou Guangxiang's eldest son Zhou Tongxuan, and the two deputy hall masters are also served by a recruited foundation building monk Wang Biao and a Zhou family foundation building monk Zhou Zerui.

However, these people are not the real strongest people in the Gripper Hall, the real foundation of the Gripper Hall is the fourth-order low-grade demon beast Gripon Beast.

The Glion Beast has been in the Zhou family for hundreds of years, and has become accustomed to the worship of human monks, and now even without Zhou Yang, the Zhou family's animal trainers can communicate with it and drive it to do things.

Zhou Yang put it into the Gripper Hall and regarded it as the worship spirit animal of the Gripe Hall, just to give it a stage to play, and he didn't want it to eat and drink for nothing in the family.

You must know that to support a fourth-order demon beast, you will consume a lot of demon beast meat every year.

And the Eagle Lion Beast has exhausted its potential after being promoted to a fourth-order demon beast, unlike Zhou Yang's golden-winged thunder eagle, which still has the hope of being promoted to the fifth order.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yang has never treated these spirit beasts badly.

If the Hippriff didn't follow him, there was no hope for the Fourth Order.

And the golden-winged thunder eagle followed him, eating and drinking well, after returning to the family this time, Zhou Yang fed it two fourth-order middle-grade demon pills in one go, and now he is sleeping in the spirit beast ring to refine the demon pill.

If nothing else, when it wakes up again, it will be able to be promoted to a fourth-order mid-grade demon beast.

Under Zhou Guangxiang's arrangement, hundreds of monks from the Eagle-Lion Hall, in groups of twenty, were divided into five groups to take turns patrolling the traffic roads between the various oases of the Zhou family, specifically cracking down on those sand thieves who robbed the roads, or helping some vassal families to clear out the invading demon beasts.

After the five groups finished the inspection, another 100 people were replaced to inspect, and the three shifts did not stop.

On the other side, as the Zhou family officially became the overlord of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Immortal Cultivation Family and Scattered Cultivators who took the initiative to come to the door to take refuge in it were wave after wave.

The Zhou family did not refuse these monks who took refuge, and they all sent them to the surrounding sand sea to find a new oasis, or rely on small oases to build medium-sized oases.

Although the sand sea is barren, there are still many ownerless oases waiting to be discovered and occupied in the vast sand sea.

In the past, no one went to find and occupy these oases, because if they were far away from the base camp of immortal cultivators, even if they occupied the oases, they would not be guaranteed safety, and it would be inconvenient to communicate with the outside world.

Now that the Zhou family provides safe shelter, and there is such a big oasis as big as Rhino Horn Continent to provide them with a place to exchange and trade, naturally some immortal cultivators are willing to go to the wasteland and take risks.

At the same time, Zhou Guangxiang also did a big thing, that is, to officially excavate the spirit stone mine discovered by Lu Xuewei.

As soon as the news of this spirit stone mine came out, it unexpectedly caused a sensation in the entire boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world, and I don't know how many immortal cultivation families secretly envied the good luck of the Zhou family, and they were able to discover such a top vein as the spirit stone mine.

And after hearing the news, many casual cultivators even sharpened their heads and wanted to enter the spirit stone mine as a miner.

In short, for the Zhou family, everything is developing for the better.

......

The biggest reason why Zhou Tongxuan was able to sit in the position of the hall master of the Eagle Lion Hall with the cultivation of the third layer of the foundation was naturally because his father was the patriarch of the Zhou family.

Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan have a total of five sons and three daughters so far, but only three sons and two daughters have spiritual roots and can practice, and Zhou Tongxuan, the eldest son, is the person with the most outstanding spiritual root qualifications.

He is the spiritual root qualification in the wind attribute, his father is the head of the Zhou family, and his mother is the second apprentice of the ancestor of the family.

As a top-level immortal second generation, he had never worried about cultivation resources since he was a child, so even if he was not a high-grade spiritual root qualification cultivator, he still reached the ninth level of qi cultivation at the age of thirty-one, and he was lucky enough to succeed in building a foundation by only taking one Zhuji Pill.

Compared to him, one of his younger brothers and a younger sister, although they had also cultivated to the ninth level of Qi cultivation before the age of sixty due to the accumulation of a large amount of resources, they were unable to build a successful foundation because they were only inferior spirit root qualifications.

Although Zhou Guangxiang was the patriarch of the Zhou family and a mid-Zifu monk, he had many privileges in the family, but it was impossible for him to use the resources of the entire family to feed his children.

Being able to prepare a Tsukidan for each of his daughters is already the greatest amount of care he can take care of these children.

In the case that other children seem to be difficult to succeed, Zhou Tongxuan, the eldest son, can build a successful foundation in his thirties, which is naturally more valued by Zhou Guangxiang.

He hoped that his son Zhou Tongxuan would be able to take over the position of the head of the Zhou family from his hands.

If Zhou Yang had left descendants, he would definitely not have this idea, but since Zhou Yang had no descendants, as the current patriarch of the Zhou family, of course he hoped that his son could keep this position for the main line.

Therefore, after the Zhou family implemented a new reform this time, he took the opportunity to let his son sit in the position of the master of the Eagle and Lion Hall, and took charge of the most elite armed force of the Zhou family, so that he could use the opportunity of the Eagle and Lion Hall to inspect all parties to accumulate fame and make some achievements to convince others.

Zhou Guangxiang naturally told his son Zhou Tongxuan about these plans, so after Zhou Tongxuan became the master of the Gripen Hall, he often participated in the inspection team in person, and did not miss any opportunity to enhance his reputation.

On this day, Zhou Tongxuan, who was returning to Lingxi Peak to rest after a patrol, suddenly received a task arranged by the patriarch, asking him to lead a team of people to the oasis where a vassal family is located to help the vassal family solve a third-order demon beast that attacked the oasis.

The Zhou family has only occupied this area of the Rhinojiao Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm for more than a hundred years, except for the demon beasts in the Rhino Horn Continent and the surrounding area of thousands of miles that have been cleaned up by the Zhou family monks, the number of demon beasts in the sand sea outside is much more than the oasis in the Baishahe Oasis Immortal Cultivation Realm that has been developed for thousands of years.

This kind of demon beast attack on the oasis has often happened over the years, and the foundation building monks of the Zhou family have often received this kind of demon removal task, and Zhou Tongxuan has had this experience since he was in the Qi training period.

So after he received the task, he didn't think much about it, just regarded it as an ordinary task arranged by his father Zhou Guangxiang to help him accumulate fame.

However, when he led a team of twenty people to the small oasis where the vassal family was located, he found that things did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.

According to the information he knew, the Immortal Cultivator family who occupied this small oasis was surnamed Yuan, and there was a total of one ninth-level Qi cultivation cultivator, one seventh-level Qi cultivation cultivator, and three mid-Qi cultivation cultivators and six early-stage Qi cultivation cultivators.

Before he came, it was said that two of the Yuan family monks on this small oasis had already been killed, and the rest were all cowering in panic in the third-order lower grade formation arranged for them by the Zhou family, waiting for the Zhou family's rescuers to come to help.

But when he came here, he found that the formation had already been broken, and all the Yuan family monks inside had disappeared without a trace, but some of the spiritual herbs and elixirs planted on the spiritual mountain were not damaged at all.

The most suspicious thing is that the thousands of secular mortals of the Yuan family on the oasis have also disappeared, but Zhou Tongxuan has not found even a trace of blood.

"Something is wrong, if it is really a demon beast attacking the oasis, even if everyone is eaten by it, it should leave some blood stains on the ground, right?"

"Moreover, this Yuan family's mountain protection array was personally arranged by my father at the beginning, and the third-order demon beasts in the news, even if they can break the formation, it is impossible not to leave a trace at all!"

Zhou Tongxuan was keenly aware of the inappropriateness, and he couldn't help but recall the news he received.

If memory serves, the news says that a wolf-like third-order demon beast attacked the oasis because the Yuan family monks found wolf paw prints near the scene of the disappearance of the clansmen.

"Did any of you find the wolf paw prints?"

He glanced at the twenty Eagle-Lion Hall monks he had brought with him, and asked the question in his heart.

Everyone shook their heads.

This small oasis is not large, twenty people act separately, it is easy to search the entire oasis, if there are demon beast claw prints left, it is impossible for these experienced monks not to find out.

On the contrary, an old monk with a somewhat old face seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Hall Master, my subordinates did not find wolf paw prints, but found a large number of human footprints on the west side of the oasis, and the footprints lead to the sand sea!"

"Really, take me there. ”

Zhou Tongxuan's expression moved, and he asked the old monk to lead the way.

The group, led by the old monk, soon arrived at the west of the oasis and saw the footprints of the man in his mouth.

I saw that on the soft sandy land to the west of the oasis, countless people's footprints, large and small, led to the sand sea, and it seemed that a large group of human beings had entered the sand sea from this place.

"Why did these people enter the sand sea? Could it be that those vanished mortals of the Yuan family fled into the sand sea from here in order to escape the hunting of demon beasts?"

Zhou Tongxuan looked at the dense human footprints on the ground, and this guess couldn't help but flash through his mind.

On the surface, this speculation seems to be reliable, after all, it is normal for a group of mortals to choose to abandon the dangerous oasis and flee into the sea of sand in a panic when all the immortal cultivators who sheltered them have all died in the mouths of the demon beasts.

Wrong!

Since they are in a panic, they should be running for their lives in all directions, how can they gather together for a migratory escape?

Zhou Tongxuan frowned, feeling that he definitely didn't want to guess so simply.

After a moment's silence, he said to his subordinates, "Follow these footprints into the sea of sand and see if you can find anything." ”

After finishing speaking, he paused again, and added: "Be careful not to enter the sand sea too deep, the enemy's strength is unknown, and everything is important to protect yourself." ”

Then the sword light under his feet moved, but he flew towards the Yuan family's Lingshan, ready to search there again to see if there could be any missed discoveries.

It's just that what Zhou Tongxuan didn't expect was that his normal decision directly buried the entire team!

When he searched on the Ling Mountain of the Yuan family and found nothing, he found that none of his subordinates who went to search for clues in the sand sea came back.

What shocked and frightened him was that after he searched in the direction where those subordinates had left, he couldn't even see a trace of the fighting technique, let alone the figures of those subordinates.

This is really no one alive, no corpse dead!

"Dangerous! Extremely dangerous! I must inform my father and my family of this news immediately!"

Zhou Tongxuan hurriedly flew towards the Yuan Family's Ling Mountain on the oasis, he remembered that the communication circle there had not been destroyed, and through that communication circle, he could directly pass the news to the family and ask the family to send a higher-level monk to rescue him.

Long before Zhou Yang went to the extreme west, the Zhou family obtained the arrangement method of the communication circle from Huangshamen, and built a communication circle in each vassal family at any cost to facilitate contact.

The Yuan family was able to report the news of the demon beast's attack on the oasis to the Zhou family in time, also thanks to the help of the communication circle.

Otherwise, if the Zhou family wants to find out that the Yuan family has been destroyed, they don't know how long it will take.

However, the enemy in the shadows seemed to have discovered Zhou Tongxuan's plan and soon launched an offensive against him.

At that time, Zhou Tongxuan, who was flying in mid-air, suddenly heard a beautiful sound of fairy music in his mind, and then the speed of his sword flight couldn't help but slow down, and gradually even landed towards the ground.

However, just as the enemy who was secretly attacking was about to kill him after he landed, a piece of jade magic weapon he wore suddenly released a cold aura that rushed straight into his head, helping him wake up from the beautiful sound of fairy music.

"It's not good, it's the magic of phantom sound ecstasy!"

Zhou Tongxuan, who came to his senses, his complexion changed drastically, and he immediately understood what the kind of fairy music he heard just now was.

He didn't even bother to look for the enemy's location, so he hurriedly reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a third-order "Soul Suppression Talisman" and pasted it on himself, and then he had time to find the enemy.

Soon, he found an enemy who had used the illusion of sound to attack him.

I saw that in the sand sea below, a fox-headed wolf-like beast was looking up at him with a surprised face, and the emerald green eyes were full of surprise.

"It's not good, it's [Jade-faced Fox Wolf]!"

As soon as Zhou Tongxuan's eyes met the pair of turquoise fox eyes, he trembled, and exclaimed with horror on his face.

[Jade-faced Fox Wolf] is a very rare demon beast, and its rarity is not in any way below the [Three-Tailed Demon Fox] that Zhou Yang once killed.

This kind of demon beast is naturally proficient in the art of phantom sound ecstasy, and can control the demon beast of the same level or immortal cultivator as a slave through this magic of phantom sound ecstasy, and the wisdom of this demon beast is also extremely high, and it is not below human beings at all.

The [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf] in front of Zhou Tongxuan's eyes was already a third-order high-grade demon beast, which was why he was easily confused by his Phantom Ecstasy Technique just now, without any resistance at all.

If it weren't for the jade magic weapon he was wearing, it was a heart-clearing magic weapon carefully refined by his mother Liu Xuanxuan that was specifically aimed at this kind of ecstasy spell, which helped him wake up from his ecstasy state in time, and at this moment he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground and become the food in the mouth of this [jade-faced fox wolf], just like his disappeared subordinates.

Thinking of those subordinates, his face changed, and he had already guessed where those people had gone.

Sure enough, within a moment, after the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf] recovered from his surprise, he saw his missing subordinates again.

I saw that the [Jade-faced Fox Wolf] roared lowly, and the soft sand in front of him was a bulge, and out of it came an earthy yellow giant python with a body length of more than ten zhang, and his subordinates, as well as several strange monks who should be the monks of the Yuan family, were hanging on the back of the giant python at this moment.

It's just that these people have been controlled by the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf]'s Phantom Sound Ecstasy Technique, and they are no longer under his command at all, and even as soon as they appeared, they followed the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf]'s orders and launched an attack on him.

The monks who can be selected into the Zhou Family's Eagle and Lion Hall are all ruthless characters among the Qi cultivation period monks, although those twenty people are only Qi cultivation period monks, but under the attack together, ordinary foundation building early stage monks will be in a hurry when they encounter it, and they may not be able to win.

If that's just the case, then that's all, although Zhou Tongxuan's cultivation is only three layers of foundation building, but he has a lot of treasures, but even the monks in the late stage of foundation building may not be his opponent.

But the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf], a third-order high-grade demon beast, and the third-order high-grade demon beast giant python under its control, would not be just a spectator.

Especially the [Jade-faced Fox Wolf], although Zhou Tongxuan relied on the help of his mother Liu Xuanxuan's refining of the Pure Heart Magic Weapon and the "Soul Suppression Talisman", he would not be controlled by his phantom sound ecstasy technique, but he would inevitably be subject to some interference.

And in battle, a little distraction is enough to kill.

It was an extremely hard battle.

Zhou Tongxuan was under great pressure during the battle.

For him, the enemy's strength is still secondary, and the most unbearable thing for him is to kill those of his own men and those monks of the same clan with his own hands.

He knew in his heart that although those people were under the control of the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf], they were actually all alive.

As long as someone can kill the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf], these people will be able to remove the control and return to normal.

However, the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf] was so cunning that he didn't fight him head-on at all, and always hid behind the giant python and many human monks to attack him.

And as the battle progressed, another third-order rat demon and a third-order demon wolf were summoned by the [Jade-faced Fox Wolf] to join the battle.

Although the two newly added demon beasts were only third-order low-grade demon beasts, Zhou Tongxuan had more than one enemy, even if he had many spirit runes given by his parents and extremely precious third-order puppet beasts, he also fought extremely hard and tragically.

In the end, after the battle lasted for more than half an hour, Zhou Tongxuan was forced to use the magic path secret technique "Blood Boiling Technique" that Zhou Yang used when he was facing a desperate situation, and with the help of the mana obtained by burning essence and blood in exchange for this secret technique, he activated two fourth-order attack spirit runes in a row, and with the power of the fourth-order spirit runes, he finally succeeded in killing the cunning [Jade-faced Fox Wolf].

Although he killed the [Jade-faced Fox Wolf] who was causing trouble, Zhou Tongxuan was not happy at all.

Because before the death of the [Jade-Faced Fox Wolf], those human monks who were controlled by it had all died at the hands of his kind.

Moreover, he himself was injured in the battle, and after using the "Blood Boiling Technique", he was even more severely injured and lost his ability to move.

But he didn't dare to stay in place to heal, because the strong smell of blood on the battlefield could easily attract other demon beasts to come over, and his current state was afraid that even a second-order high-grade demon beast could clean him up.

So he could only reluctantly release a second-order wolf-shaped puppet and carry himself towards the Yuan Family Spirit Mountain on the small oasis.

By the time Zhou Yang on Lingxi Peak received the news and rushed to the small oasis of the Yuan family, Zhou Tongxuan had already passed out because of his injuries.

"Huh, it's just that the blood is lost too much and he passed out, otherwise this kid really has three longs and two shorts, and Guangxiang that kid is afraid that he will feel guilty for a lifetime because of this matter!"

Zhou Yang checked the situation of Zhou Tongxuan, who had been unconscious, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then remembered this junior's achievements this time, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Zhou Guangxiang wants to support his son to inherit the position of the patriarch of the Zhou family, and he has no objection, but the premise is that Zhou Tongxuan must have real skills.

Now it seems that this kid doesn't talk about other skills, at least this fighting ability is quite satisfactory to him.

He had personally used the "Blood Boiling Technique", a secret technique of the Demon Dao, and had also written about his experience after using this secret technique.

Zhou Tongxuan knew the sequelae of the "Blood Boiling Technique", and dared to use this desperate secret technique to fight the enemy, not to mention anything else, this ruthlessness alone has proved that he is not the second generation of the Immortal who only relies on his father's shadow.
