Although it was said that Li Hong and Zhou Tongyue had full authority to deal with the matter of entering Cangyuan Immortal City, it was impossible for Zhou Yang to really let go of everything.

This time, he brought most of the Zhou family in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, if these people made any mistakes here and suffered heavy losses, the Zhou family might not follow in the footsteps of the original Huangshamen, but it is not an exaggeration to go back hundreds of years.

Therefore, after Li Hong and Zhou Tongyue left, Zhou Yang also cautiously restrained his breath and rushed to a place one or two hundred miles away from Cangyuan Immortal City to lurk.

This distance would not allow the Jindan period monks in the Immortal City to discover his whereabouts without taking the initiative to reveal his aura, but it would allow him to receive Zhou Guangxiang's distress signal in time and kill them in time to rescue them.

Of course, this is only a worst-case scenario.

The best situation is that the "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cang is still able to deter the deputy city lord Geng Zhong without dying, and wait for him and Yin Hanguang to destroy Guo Jinhong together, and then come over to "peacefully receive" Cangyuan Immortal City.

But things tend to go in the worst direction.

Less than half a month after Zhou Yang and Li Hong met, through Li Mubai's mouth, the latest situation about Li Cangyuan, the "Cangyuan Sanren".

It turned out that as early as half a year ago, Li Cangyuan, the "Cangyuan Sanren", had passed away.

It's just that because of some of the arrangements he made during his lifetime, and because Geng Zhong has no competitors now, he is not willing to take the risk of lifting this lid when the Li family blocks the news and begins to withdraw from Cangyuan Immortal City one after another.

After all, only he and a few members of the Li family knew the true situation of Li Cangyuan, the "Cangyuan Sanren", and Geng Zhong only learned that his life was not long through the weather revealed by his last appearance.

In case the "Cangyuan Sanren" Li Cangyuan deliberately cheated to death, wanting to test his attitude towards the Li family, he would only harm himself if he was so impatient.

Anyway, most of Cangyuan Immortal City had already fallen into his hands, and he had enough patience to wait for the answer to be revealed.

Originally, everything was like this, the Li family withdrew from Cangyuan Immortal City, and Geng Zhong waited for a few years to take over.

But the appearance of Zhou Guangxiang has made some changes.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Li Mubai and Zhou Guangxiang, the Taoist couple, reunited, and several of Zhou Guangxiang's children re-saw their mother, who had been missing for many years, after decades.

And Geng Zhong soon received a report from the eyeliner placed in the Li family, and learned about the appearance of a mysterious identity of the Purple Mansion monk within the Li family.

After he learned the news, he attached great importance to it, and even went to Li's house in person in the name of visiting the situation of "Cangyuan Sanren".

At that time, Zhou Guangxiang had not yet left the Li family, with Geng Zhong's third-layer cultivation of Jindan, and there was a hint of an eyeliner traitor, as soon as he arrived at the location, his divine sense swept away, and Zhou Guangxiang's whereabouts naturally had nothing to hide.

Fortunately, because Zhou Guangxiang was wearing the disguise mask given by Zhou Yang, even if Geng Zhong discovered her existence, because her cultivation is very different from when she left, and her aura has changed a lot, so that she failed to recognize her identity on the spot, but according to her identity as a female Purple Mansion monk, she became suspicious.

Knowing that Geng Zhong was already suspicious, Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai didn't dare to stay in the city anymore, so they hurriedly sent a message to Zhou Yang and Li Hong and others from the Zhou family outside the city, informing them to prepare to retreat, and at the same time packed up their things and prepared to leave Cangyuan Immortal City.

But the two didn't know that after Geng Zhong became suspicious, when he left, he ordered someone to investigate the information of the middle and high-ranking monks who had recently entered the city, and at the same time ordered someone to watch the Li family's side.

So as soon as Zhou Guangxiang and his wife moved, Geng Zhong immediately knew that they were going to run away.

Why did they run away?

Of course, it's because the female cultivator's origin is unknown, and it is likely to be Li Mubai's Taoist companion Zhou Guangxiang.

After discovering this, Geng Zhong immediately became excited.

The reward for Zhou Yang in the "Backlight Alliance" is very high, and those who kill or capture Zhou Yang can receive a copy of the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", a fifth-order medium-grade magic weapon, and thirty high-grade spirit stones.

Even Zhou Guangxiang and Xiao Ying, two women who are close to Zhou Yang, also have their own rewards.

Geng Zhong, who was about to ascend to the position of the city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City, didn't think much of the reward on Zhou Guangxiang, but he wanted to catch Zhou Guangxiang and interrogate Zhou Yang's whereabouts.

As long as Zhou Yang's exact whereabouts are found, even if he reports the news to Haoyang Sect, he can get a lot of rewards, and he can leave an impression in front of Guo Jinhong, a Yuan Infant Monk.

So, when Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai had just left the Li family and had not had time to leave the city, Geng Zhong, who had received the news, had already been killed.

Fortunately, Zhou Guangxiang had been traveling in Cangyuan Immortal City, and when he received his sister's summons, he rushed over to pick up his sister and brother-in-law's family while letting the Zhou family monks who were still in the city disperse out of the city.

Therefore, when Geng Zhong was about to take the man, he arrived at the scene in time, and sacrificed the fifth-order puppet beast that Zhou Yang gave him to save his life and stopped Geng Zhong.

Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang are twin brothers and sisters, and as the old saying goes, nephews are like uncles, Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai's eldest son Li Zifeng has a seven-point similarity in appearance to Zhou Guangxiang.

Therefore, as soon as Geng Zhong saw Zhou Guangxiang's appearance, he immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.

He couldn't help shouting with excitement on his face: "Okay, Zhou Guangxiang, you little slut still dare to come back, over the years, Geng and countless monks in this extreme western land, looking for you, a little slut, and your master are so hard, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself, it's really good!"

Hearing his words, Li Mubai and Zhou Guangxiang, the two men closest to Zhou Guangxiang, suddenly changed their faces.

"Geng Zhong, what do you want to do? The ancestor of the family is not dead, you want to do something to our Li family?"

Li Mubai blushed in shock and anger and glared at Geng Zhong angrily, trying to scare him with the name of "Cangyuan Sanren".

However, what made his face pale was that after Geng Zhong listened to his words, he directly sneered and pierced the tiger skin he was relying on.

"Old Ghost Li is afraid that the bones are no longer in this Cangyuan Immortal City at this time, do you think that you are really hiding it seamlessly? Geng didn't want to touch you before, but he just saw your acquaintance, and he didn't want to end up with a ruthless name, so you thought Geng was afraid of your tiger skin!"

"You ......"

Li Mubai pointed at Geng Zhong with a pale face, but he couldn't say a word.

That's right, just three days ago, the body of Li Cangyuan, the "Cangyuan Sanren", was quietly taken out of Cangyuan Immortal City by the Li family monks and buried in a secret manor of the Li family.

In the entire Li family, less than ten people knew about this news, and Li Mubai didn't know why Geng Zhong knew, but he actually had the answer in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhou Guangxiang, who had never spoken, immediately pushed Li Mubai to his sister Zhou Guangxiang behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, you take Xiang'er and Feng'er first, and I'll stop him!"

When Li Mubai heard his words, he immediately became anxious, and shouted loudly: "No, eldest brother, you and Xiang'er go first, I will stop him, I don't believe that he Geng Zhong really dares to kill my Li family disciples in this Cangyuan Immortal City!"

"Mu Bai, don't fight, I believe in big brother, let's go!"

Zhou Guangxiang suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Li Mubai, who was about to say something, and was about to leave with him and a pair of children.

"None of you can go!"

A sneer flashed on Geng Zhong's face, and suddenly with a pinch of the magic technique with both hands, he mobilized the power of the Cangyuan Immortal City Protector Array to block this urban area, trapping several people here.

After doing all this, he looked at the tiger puppet beast with fiery eyes and said: "This fifth-order puppet beast should be left by Zhou Yang for you to save your life, right?" It seems that his net worth is much richer than Geng imagined, and he is worthy of being a person who has won three consecutive battles in the battle of the death, but after today, this treasure belongs to Geng!"

"It depends on whether you have that life or not!"

Zhou Guangxiang shouted loudly, and as soon as his mind moved, the tiger puppet beast roared angrily and lifted the big axe and pounced on Geng Zhong.

The real combat power of this tiger puppet beast is definitely no worse than that of a third-layer monk of the Jindan period, but the means are not as varied as those of the Jindan stage monk.

Geng Zhong was blocked by it, and he couldn't spare much strength to capture Zhou Guangxiang and the others for a while.

However, he was not in a hurry at all, because as the city protection array was mobilized by him, a large number of immortal city guard monks belonging to him were coming, and Zhou Guangxiang and the others would definitely not be able to break the city protection array and escape in a short time.

"No, Old Horseman Geng has already changed the authority of the Great Protective Array, and these access tokens in our hands have become invalid!"

In the formation, Li Mubai took out the token token for entering and exiting the immortal city originally held by the Li family and tried it, and then threw away the token token with a face full of resentment.

What makes people go to tea and cool, he has seen it today.

You must know that this Cangyuan Immortal City was established by their Li family ancestor "Cangyuan Sanren", and the city protection array was also arranged by him, but the "Cangyuan Sanren" has only passed away for a year now, and Geng Zhong, the deputy city lord, secretly changed the access authority of the city protection array, which shows that he has already had a bad intention.

It is not an easy thing to change the access authority of the big array of the city protector, Geng Zhong didn't have a bad plot a long time ago, he invited a clever formation master to understand the details of the big array in advance, how could it be possible that not long after the "Cangyuan Sanren" just sat down and passed away, he completed the mastery of the big array of the city guard.

It must be known that until now, the most important central control token of the original city protection array is also in the hands of their Li family, which was the biggest reliance on the negotiation between their Li family and Geng Zhong, but I didn't expect that this reliance was actually worthless for a long time!

When Zhou Guangxiang heard the words of the Taoist, his face only flashed with a look of loss, so he regained his spirit and comforted: "Now I can only wait, Uncle Nine is outside the city, I will definitely receive the news at this time, as long as his old man arrives, all difficulties will be solved!"

"Senior Zhou has just succeeded in forming a Dan for less than a hundred years, even if his strength before he became a Dan, now at most he is a second-layer cultivation of Jindan, this Cangyuan Immortal City's city protection array is a fifth-order mid-grade magic array, can he do it?"

Li Mubai looked at his Taoist companion a little unconfidently and asked, his face full of suspicion.

He sometimes didn't understand why his Taoist companion was so confident in that clan uncle who looked younger than himself, blind confidence!

Although he also has to admit that the clan uncle does have his merits, after all, not any Jindan stage monk can successfully plot against a mid-Yuan Infant monk as soon as he succeeds in marrying the Dan, causing the Yuan Infant monk to have to give up his original body to take reincarnation.

"Hmph, are you doubting Uncle Jiu's strength? If you don't believe it, you'll know later!"

The matter involved the ninth uncle whom he admired the most, even if it was a Taoist couple who shared the same bed, Zhou Guangxiang did not give a good face, glared at Li Mubai with displeasure, and turned his head to continue to watch the battle between his brother Zhou Guangxiang and Geng Zhong.

When Li Mubai saw this, he said in his heart that it was false if he didn't like it, but it hadn't been long since the two Taoist couples reunited after a long absence, and he didn't want to annoy the Taoist couple because of such a quarrel, so as not to keep the empty house alone for decades.

I could only laugh twice at the moment, and didn't say much about this topic.

Speaking of Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, who was hiding outside the city and cultivating, hurriedly rushed towards Cangyuan Immortal City after receiving Zhou Guangxiang's summons.

At that time, because Geng Zhong hadn't done it yet, it was not easy for him to expose his true cultivation to fly away from the clouds, so as not to startle the snake and make it self-defeating.

But when he saw from a distance that the protective array in Cangyuan Immortal City was activated, he immediately realized that things had changed, and it must be Zhou Guangxiang's whereabouts exposed.

It was because he couldn't care about hiding his cultivation anymore, and directly used the "Rainbow Golden Escape" magic power, and flew away to the outside of the protective array of Cangyuan Immortal City.

When he arrived, Geng Zhong happened to be fighting with the tiger puppet beast of Zhou Guangxiang's imperial envoy.

After he saw this scene through the shield formed by the city protection array, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he frowned, and locked on Geng Zhong with murderous intent.

Geng Zhong, who is only on the third floor of Jindan, is not in Zhou Yang's eyes, such a good thing, if he really makes a full shot, he can win it in three moves.

On the contrary, the large array of city protection is a bit tricky, and with his strength, it will take some time to break such a large array.

Fortunately, although Geng Zhong activated the Great Protective Array, it was only partially activated, and the power of the entire Great Protective Array was not activated.

If the protective array of an immortal city like Cangyuan Immortal City was opened, not to mention Zhou Yang, even a Jindan ninth-layer cultivator would not be able to break it by one person.

However, if this kind of city protection array wants to be fully opened and exert its maximum power, it must be deployed in advance and arrange people to hold the base of the formation, which cannot be done in a short time.

This gave Zhou Yang the opportunity to break the formation and save people.

I saw him standing in the air outside the array, and with a wave of his hand, a silver long knife was sacrificed by him.

He has a lot of powerful magic weapons in his hands, but to achieve the goal of breaking the formation and saving people as quickly as possible, it has to be this "Taiyin Slashing Knife".

"Slash!"

He pinched a magic trick in his hand, and with a low cry in his mouth, the silver long knife suddenly burst into silver light, and it fell like a silver meteor on the Cangyuan Immortal City Protector Array.

Bang!

With just one sword, the shield formed by the Immortal City Protective Array shook violently, and the roar spread throughout the city.

"Good, good!"

In the formation, Li Mubai looked up at the scene, his legs couldn't help shaking, and his face was full of shock.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen a Jindan period monk make a move, but an attack as powerful as this knife just now was definitely not something that an ordinary Jindan period monk could do, at least he knew that Geng Zhong would definitely not be able to do it.

Then his eyes flashed with joy, and he looked at Zhou Guangxiang with blazing eyes and asked, "Lady, what kind of cultivation is Uncle Jiu? This kind of strength is definitely not something that a Jindan early stage monk can have!"

"Hmph, who told you that Uncle Nine is a monk in the early stage of Jindan? Uncle Nine is a genius who has been successfully promoted to the middle stage of Jindan not long ago!"

Zhou Guangxiang snorted coldly, and answered the Taoist question with a proud face.

Hearing her words, Li Mubai's mouth suddenly opened wide enough to swallow a goose egg, and he didn't speak for a long time.

He remembered what he had said about Zhou Yang's strength earlier, and his white face suddenly became bloodshot and red, which was ashamed.

When Zhou Guangxiang saw him like this, not only did he not comfort him, but said proudly: "I warn you, in the future, you had better be respectful to my ninth uncle, otherwise even if I don't settle accounts with you, the eldest brother will definitely not spare you!"

"I, I know. ”

Li Mubai opened his mouth, like a defeated rooster, and his face was full of frustration and helplessness.

There's no way, who told him to talk about cultivation now, he can't compare to Zhou Guangxiang's brother-in-law in terms of cultivation, in terms of family background, the Li family, who has lost the Jindan period monk, can't be compared with the Zhou family, which makes him really not have much confidence when facing Zhou Guangxiang's brother-in-law.

Speaking of Geng Zhong, Geng Zhong was also taken aback after seeing the power of Zhou Yang's knife.

He naturally recognized Zhou Yang, but he never thought that Zhou Yang, who had only been married for less than a hundred years, already had this kind of strength.

Thinking of him Geng Zhong, it has been close to four hundred years, and now he is only a third-level cultivation of Jindan, whether he can break through the bottleneck of his cultivation and promote to the middle stage of Jindan in this life is still unknown.

And what about Zhou Yang?

In less than a hundred years, he has cultivated to jump three levels in a row and reached the fourth layer of Jindan, this kind of cultivation speed really made Geng Zhong shocked and jealous, extremely frightened, and extremely jealous.

"Yes, it must be that silver long knife magic weapon, he must rely on that fifth-order high-grade magic weapon to have such strength, that is not his real strength, it must be like this!"

Geng Zhong stared at the silver long knife with his eyes, and completely attributed the credit of Zhou Yang's blow to this fifth-order high-grade magic weapon, unwilling to believe that it was Zhou Yang's own strength.

"Let you be arrogant now, and when I inform Guo Jinhong's predecessors of the news of your appearance, see how arrogant you are!"

"When the time comes, I will definitely ask Senior Guo to reward me with this silver long knife magic weapon. ”

He thought viciously in his heart, but the offensive against Zhou Guangxiang became more and more fierce.

Zhou Yang's appearance made him feel great pressure, and he was not absolutely sure whether the city protection array could block Zhou Yang's attack.

Therefore, he was going to take down Zhou Guangxiang and these people first, and then retreat to the city lord's mansion with the hostages, which was the core of the entire city protection array, and the defense was the most powerful, as long as he retreated there, he had enough time to fully activate the city protection array.

At that time, he might be able to use the power of the city protection array to trap Zhou Yang in the city and suppress it, and then gather the strength of the entire city guard monks to kill Zhou Yang!

It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

After Zhou Yang discovered his movements, he not only accelerated the frequency of knife attacks, but also sacrificed magic weapons such as "Lion Fire Ruyi" and "Mountain Moving Seal" to join the attack.

In this way, after this onslaught for dozens of breaths, the shield formed by the city protection array was smashed by him with a knife, revealing a huge gap, and the next moment, his figure flashed and had appeared in the city protection array.

"Zhou Yang, let's let you be rampant for a while, in a few days, Guo Jinhong's predecessors will come here, and then Geng will see that you can still be rampant!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Geng Zhong's resentful voice quickly spread throughout the city.

But after he found out that Zhou Yang broke the shield of the formation, he already knew that he couldn't do anything, so he slipped back to the City Lord's Mansion first, and didn't dare to fight Zhou Yang head-on.

When Zhou Yang heard his words, he couldn't help but sneer: "Snort, no matter how bad Zhou is, he won't be like a turtle with a shrunken head like you, who only knows how to shrink in the turtle's shell and shout, a person like you is also worthy of stealing the position of the city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City?"

Geng Zhong was also so angry when he heard him scold himself as a "shrinking turtle", and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Who can't say big words? If you really have a kind, don't run away, if you dare to be here in seven days, Geng will kneel down and call your grandfather!"

"Forget it, you are a turtle grandson who wants to recognize his grandfather when he meets someone, Zhou is not sensitive, whoever loves wants it!"

Zhou Yang shook his head in a decent manner, and the disgust on his face was seen by many people.

For a while, the joyful laughter that couldn't help but echo everywhere in the fairy city swept away the tense atmosphere of the previous rumors and trees.

"Ahhh......h

Geng Zhong is anxious, anxious!

The dignified Jindan monk was so anxious at this time that he was like a street scoundrel, and he scolded with a lot of swearing, and there was no trace of the demeanor of a Jindan monk.

But Zhou Yang was too lazy to talk to this kind of incompetent coward at this time, and directly took Zhou Guangxiang's brothers and sisters and Li Mubai's father and son in front of him, and then the clouds under his feet rushed out of the fairy city in an instant and disappeared in the sight of the monks in the city.

At this moment, the chic back of him driving away from the clouds formed a stark contrast with Geng Zhong, who was still swearing and scolding in the city lord's mansion.

Maybe Geng Zhong himself didn't expect that at this moment, many monks' impression of him changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

The shrewd and capable image that he spent hundreds of years painstakingly building, just because of today's scene, the direct personality collapsed, and was defined by many monks as a hypocritical and cowardly shameless villain, who would only hide in the city lord's mansion in a frenzy and fight with mouths.

And after the events of the day spread through the mouths of the monks of the city, his reputation for incompetence and cowardice could no longer be washed away.
