Chapter 326: It Really Happened

Entering the northern border of Liang, Lu Chang'an realized that there were more than twice as many cultivators migrating towards Feng Yuan Country than before.

These fleeing cultivators were not limited to Liang, but included cultivators from all the countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, including scattered cultivators, family cultivators, and clan deserters. In fact, it's quite risky to cross the harsh flying sand rift valley below a false dan real person.

Even so, there are still some Foundation Establishment cultivators who step into the endless desert alone or in groups.

Considering the war situation in the Weidao Alliance, Lu Chang'an had no difficulty in understanding.

Nowadays, the only Immortal Cultivation Countries left in the Wei Dao Alliance that have not been captured are the Beacon Country, Liang Country, and the Jing Country.

Centering on the Beacon Kingdom, which is the largest on the board:

[The western and southern oriented states of Chen and Yan], were successively captured by the Beast King Valley.

The first to be overthrown was the Chen Kingdom, which was lost by the Tian Luo Sect before Lu Chang'an left, which could be considered a disgrace.

Yan was originally the hometown of "Chu Tianfeng" of the Endless Palace, and he moved his clan to Beacon in the early years, not only for the fourth-order medium-grade spiritual veins, but also for his foresight.

[Heng Guo], the eastern backyard of Fenghuang country, was also defeated by the Beast King Valley many years ago, and there is no YuanYing power in that country.

Jing and Liang are located in the northwest and north of Beacon Kingdom respectively.

[The State of Jing, bordering the captured State of Chen to the north and south], became a localized battleground, with no large-scale invasions due to concerns about the Sons of Qi.

In this way, the Liang Kingdom, located directly north of the Beacon Kingdom, is the only major rear of the Wei Dao Alliance today that is not directly caught in the crossfire.

For the middle and lower level cultivators, looking around, there is almost no safe territory to choose from to escape.

There are either dangerous places, such as boundless deserts and poisonous swamps, or areas under the control of the Devil's Way.

Lu Changan counted on his fingers and chose to go to the nearby Royal Beasts Zhou Family as his first stop on his way back to Liang.

The Zhou family is the closest Immortal Cultivation family to the Ancient Ruins.

Zhou Qingxuan, the oldest ancestor of the Zhou family, is over 290 years old and has already entered his twilight years, with more than ten years of life left at most.

......

In a small branch of the Black Mist Mountain Range, there is a large and heavily guarded mountain villa, located in a deep valley and covered by a third-order formation.

In the last few decades, the Zhou Family has entered its heyday, with not only a number of False Dans, but also the birth of a True Dans cultivation Beast Master.

Zhou Qingxuan, who was already old, retired to the second line and handed over the power of the clan head to the newly promoted True Pill junior "Zhou Tianchi".

On that day, Zhou Tianchi, the head of the Zhou Family, was carefully nurturing his spirit animal.

This is the first time I've ever seen a spirit animal in my life!

A note of transmission, flashing with a reddish stream of light, entered the cave.

"Aunt Qing has something important to summon?"

Zhou Tianchi frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.

Over the years, he has been in charge of the family and has become the number one person in the Zhou Family.

Due to the different philosophies of managing the family, Auntie Qing was sensible and seldom interfered in the family's affairs.

However, Zhou Qingxuan was the Zhou Family's highest surviving ancestor in terms of seniority, with a lofty status and notable connections.

Zhou Tianchi didn't dare to be slow, and flew to one of the more remote cave residences in the Zhou Family Villa.

Inside the main hall of the cave, in addition to the Zhou family ancestor, there is a strange man in white.

"Tianchi, today Auntie Qing is introducing you to a senior."

Zhou Qingxuan was no longer the young girl she once was, her crow's feet were obvious, but her features were still pretty, dressed in an ink-colored long skirt, she was about thirty to forty years old, in the appearance of a beautiful woman.

Even if you have taken the Face Repairing Pill, when your lifespan is about to expire, it is still difficult to maintain your face perfectly.

Moreover, the second-ranked Face Restoring Pill can only maintain the same face for a hundred years. Zhou Qingxuan didn't have much life left, so she obviously didn't want to waste any more resources.

"This is the legendary JieDan cultivator of the Immortal Cultivation World, Realist Evergreen."

Hearing Aunt Qing's introduction, Zhou Tianchi's heart trembled slightly.

The white-clothed man in the field of vision was handsome and gentle as jade, looking to be in his mid to late twenties, yet he had the calm serenity of one who had survived through the ages.

The mana breath on his body, pale and smooth and long, as if a deep-rooted evergreen ancient wood, people look up to the high.

"Latecomer Zhou Tianchi, I have met the Evergreen Master."

Zhou Tianchi dressed in Confucian robes, head wearing a spandex scarf, forty years old literati appearance, solemnly arching his hand and bowing.

Although the same as the true Dan cultivator, before the eyes of the Evergreen real person, but the cultivation world continued for three hundred years of the legend.

More importantly, this person's cultivation is far above his. In the moment of qi touching.

The Psychic Insect Beast inside Zhou Tianchi's storage bag shivered with fear and shrank into a ball.

Zhou Tianchi is not qualified to make friends with the clan's JieDan cultivators, and this is the first time that this situation has occurred.

"No need to be polite."

Lu Changan sat next to Zhou Qingxuan and raised his hand with a smile.

There are also three, six, nine classes of Pillars.

Regardless of seniority, seniority, and cultivation level, most of the JieDan real people in the land of Liang are at least half of his juniors.

"Tianchi, is Uncle Jingxuan's direct grandson......"

Zhou Qingxuan added in a low voice.

"Oh? So it's Zhou Jingxuan's descendant."

Lu Chang'an suddenly realized, no wonder looking at this person's appearance, he looked a little familiar.

Zhou Jingxuan was once the Foundation Establishment Clan Elder of the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan, Zhou Qingxuan's uncle.

When he participated in the Bamboo Leaf Mountain Auction, he was almost killed by Liang Shaotian, but thanks to Zhou Qingxuan's ingenuity at that time, he decisively chopped off an arm to save his life.

Afterwards, Lu Changan built his foundation in Huanglong Immortal City, and cooperated with the Zhou family, and had several dealings with Zhou Jingxuan, who was sitting in the town, so he was considered a half-acquaintance.

"Master Lu, are you returning from the Wind Elemental Kingdom? My juniors have longed for the ancient kingdom in the center of that desert."

Zhou Tianchi knew that Aunt Qing was creating an opportunity for herself to make friends with the Legendary JieDan Realist, so he lifted his spirits and warmly entertained.

"After a hundred years, Realist Lu peacefully returned to Liang, his magical power has risen even higher, breaking many rumors. I'm afraid that the title of the number one loose cultivator in Liang is in doubt."

Zhou Tianchi said in a reverent tone.

The current Changqing real person, with a mid-stage JieDan cultivation, and the possession of a ground quality bloodline XuanShui turtle, is considered the ceiling of the Liang country's scattered cultivators.

Unexpectedly, the compliments were interrupted by Zhou Qingxuan:

"Your Uncle Lu doesn't care to fight for that kind of fame. Don't say that kind of high-profile words in the future."

"Yes, Aunt Qing. Uncle Lu's high morale, indifferent to fame and fortune, my nephew has long heard of it."

Zhou Tianchi immediately changed his tone and called Uncle Lu.

Lu Chang'an sensed Zhou Qingxuan's intention, hoping that he could take care of the descendants of the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan a little after his death.

This time, Lu Chang'an maintained his mid-stage JieDan cultivation, giving the illusion that he would not be able to advance to the late-stage cultivation in his life.

This is in line with the reality.

The middle stage of JieDan is already the best amongst Liang's casual cultivators.

If it is a late JieDan cultivator, his status will be significant, and he will make all the major powers pay attention to him, and even cause the investigation and attention of the YuanYing True Lords.

Secondly, this is a sign of weakness to the mysterious and unknown cultivators from the outer states.

With Lu Changan's qualifications, if he reveals his cultivation at the late stage of JieDan, the mysterious foreign cultivator will definitely think that he has received a great opportunity in the relics, and will be prioritized to the first place.

......

Half an hour later.

Lu Chang'an had gained some understanding of the recent situation in the Wei Dao Alliance through the two real people from the Zhou Family.

Over the years, there have been many big events in the Devil's Way War.

For one, Alliance Master Chu had been in the mid YuanYing stage for many years, his divine abilities had greatly improved, and he had designed to bait and kill one of the YuanYing elders of the Beast King Valley a few years ago.

This battle established the prestige and boosted the morale of the Weidao Alliance.

Chu Tianfeng, the name of the first cultivator of the Weidao Alliance, has stabilized people's hearts.

Secondly, the Devil's Way returned the favor by sending the Infernal Sect's protector out to assassinate the Golden Sun Sect's aging Grand Elder.

The eldest elder of the Golden Sun Sect, with a lifespan of less than a hundred years and a peak cultivation at the early stage of the YuanYing period, was ambushed on his way back from a battlefield injury and perished on the spot.

The Infernal Sect's protector's assassination method is a long nail treasure, which can injure the soul, in the same way as the assassination of the Li Huo Shangren in the early years.

Thanks to this attack, Lord Li Huo lost the duel with True Lord Sixth Sun.

"The advantage taken by the Golden Sun Sect back then is now considered to have paid the price."

Lu Chang'an experienced the fourth life of Lord Li Huo's transformation and was happy to see it.

He suddenly had a heartbeat.

In the entire Wei Dao Alliance, the Golden Sun Sect had the longest legacy and deepest heritage.

Now that they have lost a YuanYing True Monarch, they will try their best to cultivate the next YuanYing True Monarch at all costs. At the height of the clan's popularity, there was once a clan with three YuanYing, so there are bound to be resources for baby formation.

Below the YuanYing level, Lu Chang'an had once again heard of Sect Master Liang's formidable reputation.

Over the years, Liang Shaotian's Black Dipper Demonic Flame, cultivated to a whole new level, was incredibly powerful and invincible on the demonic battlefield, invincible under YuanYing.

This is especially true since the Peacock Sage was captured, and there are only a few True Dan cultivators in the Beast King Valley who can compete with him.

If a normal JieDan cultivator encounters him, there is a risk of falling.

Liang Shaotian has also killed more than one Devil Dao Great Cultivator, and was rewarded by the Chu Alliance Master, and ranked first in the Battle Merit List, far ahead of the rest!

Lu Chang'an couldn't help but think of the secret conversation he had with the Heavenly Master before parting.

The Heavenly Master has predicted that the Wei Dao Alliance has not yet finished, under the pressure of the war, there will be stars falling, and there will also be a new star rising, and there will be a change of the old and the new.

At least within a hundred years, it will not be completely destroyed.

Before evening, Lu Changan talked with Zhou Qingxuan alone for a long time, waiting for Xing Peng to come.

Zhou Qingxuan was worried about the future of the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan.

Although the Zhou Clan had produced a True Dan Beast Master, Patriarch Zhou Tianchi did not share her beliefs.

Zhou Tianchi focuses on his personal cultivation and makes friends with the senior members of the clan.

For this reason, he was willing to sacrifice the cultivators and beast pets of the Zhou family to go to war and exchange them for merits.

Not only that.

The Beast King Valley, the Infernal Sect's secret solicitation, and the promised benefits, Zhou Tianchi was also moved.

If the Wei Dao Alliance is defeated and the momentum is not right, Zhou Tianchi will probably defect to the Beast King Valley.

Zhou Tianchi is very interested in the Beast King Valley's Beast Succession.

"Within a hundred years, it would be best not to turn against the water."

Lu Chang'an only mentioned that he would not interfere with the future decisions of the Royal Beast Zhou Family.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, loyalty or betrayal, many times the choice, there is no absolute right or wrong.

For example, the Mu family of Fei Yuehu, through the relationship of Mu Jiu'an, when the camp of the Golden Sun Sect was killed, the smooth surrender, so that the family has prospered for hundreds of years.

......

Late night after.

Xing Peng quietly rushed to the Imperial Beast Zhou Family.

Zhou Qingxuan opened the hidden door of the formation for him and entered the family's important place to report to Lu Changan alone.

"Greetings, Master Lu!"

After not seeing him for a hundred years, the slightly blonde Xing Peng, with red eyes, bowed his head.

In the past hundred years, although Lu Chang'an had come to Liang, he had never appeared in person.

Even if he occasionally obtained information from Xing Peng's side, it was through his puppet alter ego, a member of the Green Dragon Society, who contacted him.

"The wind of pomposity should not be tolerated! Years of absence, no growth in cultivation."

Lu Chang'an didn't have the good sense to kick Xing Peng.

Without his secret help, Xing Peng would not have been able to transform his dan into a true dan. If he was a false dan cultivator, he would be approaching the end of his lifespan now.

However, this kid is very incompetent, after ascending to true dan, he seems to have exhausted his potential and his cultivation has stagnated at the peak of the early stage of dan formation.

However, the quality of this person's pills is ordinary, so this situation is considered normal.

With the relationship of his older cousin, the "Jade Shadow Rudder Master", Xing Peng was very comfortable in the Infernal Sect's Liang Country Rudder, and spent his days fishing and mingling.

"I only need to be there for Mr. Lu, the rest is unimportant."

Xing Peng had a smile on his face, lying flat for a long time.

Even if he was lucky enough to break through the minor realm, it was unlikely that he would be able to go any further and arrive at the upper realm with little change in his lifespan.

If he really had that kind of potential, it might not be a good thing.

Once there is a sign of losing control, Lu Changan will probably cause the Compassion God Ban in his sea of consciousness to kick in.

Instead of making unrealistic advances, it would be better to enjoy the coolness under the big tree and have a good time.

"The Infernal Sect Master and True Lord Lingyu secretly fought, and both sides were injured. The latter, may have temporarily retreated back to the Central Domain?"

From Xing Peng, Lu Chang'an obtained an inside story of the top game.

"It's just a small rumor, the details are unknown and should not be taken seriously."

Xing Peng only had a rough judgment that the Infernal Sect Master had fought with True Lord Ling Yu and was not on the side of the Wei Dao Alliance, the details were not known.

"Has the trail of that mysterious external cultivator been traced?"

Lu Changan inquired about the most concerned news. "Three mysterious foreign cultivators, wanted by the Liang Immortal Cultivation World, have kept a low profile for many years. In the last two years, they are suspected to have appeared in Wang Yue Immortal City."

"Moonwatch Immortal City?"

That was the place where Lu Chang'an secretly formed his Immortal Golden Pill.

This neutral high-ranking immortal city had more than one Yuanying True Lord in attendance.

Lu Chang'an speculated that foreign cultivators from the Great Abyss might be there to procure resources and gain information.

After all, not only were the three foreign cultivators wanted by Liang, they had also killed the Infernal Sect's secret agent, drawing the attention of the Devil's Way.

"And now, the Golden Sun Sect has lost a YuanYing True Lord, and its control over Liang's cultivation world has decreased. That mysterious foreign cultivator is likely to act again."

If Lu Chang'an were them, hibernating for years and adapting to the new world, then they would take the opportunity to make a comeback.

After Xing Peng left.

Lu Chang'an didn't stay at Zhou's house and said goodbye to Zhou Qingxuan.

Zhou Qingxuan begged Lu Changan to make a public appearance at the Royal Beast Zhou Family after dawn, but the latter refused.

It was not that Lu Chang'an was unkind.

Zhou Qingxuan's earlier attack on him, and then Lu Changan devoured the Hundred Souls Compass and levied her as a slave girl, this woman has not been a credit but a hard work.

However, if Lu Changan returns to the Wei Dao Alliance, and the first force that he shows up openly is the Royal Beast Zhou Family, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the mysterious foreign cultivators and bring disaster to the Zhou Family.

Lu Changan's secret visit and not showing up openly is actually a protection for the Zhou Family.

......

Zhou Qingxuan was slightly resentful and sent Lu Changan out of the cave.

She knew that she was too old to serve her master and did not stay overnight.

Fortunately, Lu Changan was generous before he left, leaving behind a few third-order middle and lower-grade talismans to increase the family's reserves.

Wow!

When he turned back, he passed by the viewing pond inside the cave, and a fish tumbled out of the water, splashing the water of deep fall.

Zhou Qingxuan touched the scene, sad and despondent, and returned to her chambers.

She did not realize that at the bottom of the water feature pool, there was a dark current running, in which a drop of dark blue water was stirred up with the silt, making it difficult to detect. The dark blue water droplet, which was flooded with a faint ripple of strange light, quickly converged.

......

The next day at noon.

In front of the mountain gate of Golden Cloud Valley.

On the reclining light between the clouds of the Xuan Shui surging like a pool of water, a big dark green turtle with horrifying sound was found; on the back of the turtle was carrying a handsome and immortal-like JieDan real person.

"Middle stage of JieDan! Riding on a third-order Xuan Shui big turtle...... which Jiedan master is this?"

The entire Golden Cloud Valley was startled.

After a hundred years of war, many of the old generation cultivators of Golden Cloud Valley have died, and several generations of new disciples have been inherited.

Most of the middle and lower level cultivators in the sect have never seen this one before.

"Lu Wu...... Lu Zhen Zhen?"

"The Evergreen Realist! Wasn't he chased by Beast King Valley and died in a foreign country? Surprisingly, he returned to Golden Cloud Valley today!"

Those who recognized the identity of the visitor were at least older mid-level Foundation Establishment, in addition to the JieDan real person.

Many people were dumbstruck in disbelief.

"Hmph! How dare he have the face to come back?"

A black-bearded True Dan Elder, snorted and lashed out:

"A hundred years ago, when the situation of the Devil Dao War was critical and the clan suffered heavy losses, that Lu Oogway was ungrateful and ran straight away."

"Now, under the leadership of Sect Leader Zhang, Golden Cloud Valley is back in full bloom and flourishing, what is this person doing back?"

Another False Dan real person, indignantly said, "To let this person who lives and breathes, his cultivation is further advanced, promoted to the middle stage of JieDan."

"The Evergreen True Man is afraid that he is scheming for the Sect's third-order top-level spirit vein, and has come back to enjoy a superior cultivation environment."

Lu Chang'an's return drew heated discussions from the high-level cultivators in the Golden Cloud Valley.

Most of the older generation cultivators were dissatisfied with Lu Chang'an's return.

A few real people communicated privately and proposed to Sect Leader Zhang to boycott Lu Oogway and not allow him to return to Golden Cloud Valley.

"That one is the rumored Evergreen True Lord, he is quite elegant."

In Golden Cloud Valley, on a third-order spiritual peak, a man and a woman, two true dan secretaries, watched this scene with interest.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, do you think Golden Cloud Valley will take this person in?" "I can't say. I heard that this person has a close friendship with Sect Leader Zhang......"

The Zhu True Dan female cultivator smiled.

Due to the annihilation of many countries, Liang is the only local area that has not been disturbed by the war in the rear of the battlefield.

Many cultivators from those defeated countries have migrated to Liang to seek spiritual veins and attach themselves to the major forces in Liang.

Among them, the Golden Cloud Valley performed strongly, and its fortune rose, absorbing some talents and new blood, including many guest ministers of JieDan real people.

......

"Farewell, all the real people!"

Lu Chang'an stood up from the Xuan Shui Great Turtle, with a handsome figure, a calm smile, and a voice like a spring breeze.

He looked at the Golden Cloud Valley in front of him, the talents were like clouds, the qi was strong, and the spirit vein of the mountain gate was cultivated to the top of the third rank.

Old Zhang has worked hard!

Lu Chang'an nodded secretly, feeling satisfied.

"So it's Real Lu!"

"Haven't seen you for a hundred years, Zenith Lu's promotion to the middle stage of JieDan is enviable."

Despite not treating Lu Chang'an well, several real people from Golden Cloud Valley greeted him, some of them with smiling faces.

There's no way around it, strength is king in the Immortal Cultivation world.

If not necessary, no one would want to make an enemy of a powerful real person and tear their face off.

This is just a private conversation.

Just like the unpopular villains in the circle, they are belittled and criticized behind their backs, but when they really meet each other, they get along with each other in a peaceful manner.

Including the black-bearded True Dan Elder, no longer as vicious as just a moment ago, face as usual to greet, said "Lu Zhen Zhen Zhen".

Lu Changan did not see the familiar Zhang Tieshan and Zhao Taner.

The black-bearded true dan elder surnamed Miao, Lu Changan left before the other party is still the peak of the foundation, in the battlefield merit, belong to the newly promoted elders, have not dealt with before.

"Lu Zhen Zhen after a hundred years, visiting the Golden Cloud Valley again, what do you intend to do?"

Elder Miao asked right to the point.

"As a Guest Elder of Golden Cloud Valley, Mister Lu is naturally returning to the mountain to serve the sect!"

Lu Chang'an said righteously.

Several real people present, their expressions were stunned, their faces twitching vaguely.

It is hard to believe that this person's tone of voice is so rightful.

Lu Chang'an's choice to return to the Golden Cloud Valley was naturally the result of careful consideration.

He returned to the Defense League for three things:

One, to obtain the Tai Yin Jade Liquid.

Secondly, to resolve the hidden dangers of the external cultivators associated with the Hearing Sea Pavilion.

Third, in the midst of the war and upheaval, to seek the opportunity to form a baby.

The above three things will either be hated or have certain risks.

Except for the first thing, the last two can't be achieved overnight.

Lu Chang'an needs a safe and secure base.

And to have a cultivation dojo with a third-order top-grade spirit vein, cultivation cannot be left behind.

In this case, Golden Cloud Valley is the natural choice.

Cultivating in Golden Cloud Valley is safer. With the help of the clan's power and formation, as well as one's own strength, one would not be too worried about the secret attacks of the YuanYing old monsters.

Although it may bring trouble to Golden Cloud Valley.

However, Lu Changan has a lucky star with a halo of good fortune, so it's not a big problem.

"Cough! True Lu, you are no longer a cultivator of Golden Cloud Valley, and you still need to report this matter to Sect Leader Zhang. However, Sect Leader Zhang is in seclusion cultivating his divine abilities."

Elder Miao coughed lightly and politely reminded.

"Sect Leader Zhang, did he ever explicitly say that he would let Mister Lu remove his name from Golden Cloud Valley?"

"That...... is not true."

Elder Miao was stunned for a moment.

"Alas, all of you real people do not understand the truth. In fact, Lu has never really left Golden Cloud Valley all these years, but was entrusted by the Great Elder and Zhang Zhenren back then to carry out a special mission......"

Lu Chang'an sighed bitterly, with a rather bitter look.

"Now that the mission is complete, Lu Mou has returned to the mountain gate."

"When really happened?"

Elder Miao and the others stared with wide eyes and odd expressions, naturally not believing in such nonsense.

What kind of mission requires running on the road for a hundred years?

"The Grand Elder has passed away. We can only wait for Sect Leader Zhang to come out of the gate and then make a decision......"

Elder Miao prevaricated.

"Indeed!"

Suddenly, the main peak in the center of the Golden Cloud Valley, came a majestic voice. A majestic aura rose up, belonging to the spiritual pressure of the JieDan cultivator, overriding the many real people in the mountain gate.

Only to see, a golden recluse like an auspicious dragon, carrying the contemporary first cultivator of the Golden Cloud Valley, breaking through the air and flying out of the mountain gate.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Zhang."

The JieDan real people and the mountain guard disciples present all bowed and saluted with respectful faces.
