Chapter 353: Putting Order [Subscription Request]

With his own strength, he broke into the Hongyu Peak stronghold guarded by seven foundation-building monks, successfully rescued Lin Wan'er who was detained and restricted in her personal freedom, and killed four foundation-building monks, forcing the remaining three foundation-building monks to surrender.

Zhou Chun's record is extremely impressive in the world of immortal cultivation.

At this stage of foundation building, few people can be as powerful as him.

What’s even more terrifying is that this is not even his full strength!
At this moment, seeing Fu Changqing and the other two people coming to Zhou Chun to surrender and apologize, Lin Wan'er, who had slightly recovered some consciousness under the effect of the "Ice Dew Pill" on Zhou Chun's back, was also deeply shocked.

Although she had heard of some of Zhou Chun's battle achievements before, she had never seen Zhou Chun fighting with others.

After being carried on Zhou Chun's back throughout the battle and witnessing Zhou Chun's powerful strength with her own eyes, she finally realized how strong Zhou Chun was.

Only then did I understand why Zhou Mingde only sent Zhou Chun to calm the situation even though he knew that the situation in Yang State was critical.

"Fu and others believed in slander and almost killed Fellow Daoist Lin. I beg Fellow Daoist Lin and this fellow Daoist to forgive me and give me a chance to atone for my crime!"

Opposite Zhou Chun, Fu Changqing and the other two appeared. They first glanced at Lin Wan'er, who was looking very happy on Zhou Chun's back, and then bowed respectfully together, expressing their willingness to surrender.

This can be considered as a conditional surrender.

However, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to accept the surrender of the three people. Instead, he gently asked Lin Wan'er on his back: "Elder Lin, what do you think? Do you want to accept their surrender?"

His attitude not only made Fu Changqing and the other two on the opposite side panic, but also caught Lin Wan'er on his back by surprise.

After all, no matter in terms of status or cultivation strength, Zhou Chun is definitely higher than Lin Wan'er.

But the attitude Zhou Chun showed now clearly put her first and showed great respect for her.

This attitude really warmed and touched her heart.

At that moment, she looked at Zhou Chun's handsome and fair face and felt an urge to kiss him.

However, as soon as this impulse emerged, she instantly realized that the effect of the [Lie Nu Pills] had begun to backfire, and she was afraid that she could not hold on for much longer.

So she took advantage of her consciousness and whispered in Zhou Chun's ear: "We can accept their surrender, but Fu Changqing must be detained first!"

Although the voice was small, Fu Changqing and the other two who had been paying attention to this side heard it clearly.

Suddenly, the yellow-clothed old man Fu Changqing's expression changed slightly.

Zhou Chun quickly looked at the three of them and said, "You have heard what Elder Lin said. I don't think you will object, right?"

Hearing this, without waiting for Fu Changqing to speak, the old man in green immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, Yang completely agrees with Fellow Daoist Lin's arrangement."

"I don't have any opinion either."

The white-haired old woman followed closely and spoke up.

The answers from the two fully demonstrated the meaning of the word "casual cultivator".

Under the current circumstances, the two of them had no intention of standing together with the old man in yellow, Fu Changqing, and only wanted to protect themselves.

Seeing the two of them like this, although Fu Changqing was angry at their behavior, he also knew that he could not refuse Lin Wan'er's decision.

At that moment, he could only sigh and say, "Well, Fu is willing to obey your orders!"

After accepting the surrender of the three people, Zhou Chun ordered the old man in green and the white-haired old woman to stabilize the people's hearts and take back the stronghold.

Then he escorted Fu Changqing to his own residence.

As soon as they arrived at Fu Changqing's residence, Lin Wan'er on Zhou Chun's back lost consciousness again. She suddenly hugged his neck with both hands and began to kiss and nibble on him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly put her down and calmed himself down.

Then he looked at Fu Changqing with a bad look and asked, "Did you put the seal on Elder Lin?"

"It was indeed ordered by Fu, and at that time it was..."

Fu Changqing's face changed slightly, and he was about to defend himself and explain how he had no choice.

But he was immediately interrupted by Zhou Chun, "You don't need to explain so much to me, just tell me how long it will take to unlock this seal?"

"A quarter of an hour is enough!"

Fu Changqing's eyes moved slightly, as if he understood Zhou Chun's meaning, and he quickly gave an answer.

"Then you will remove the seal for Elder Lin now!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out another "Ice Dew Pill" from his storage bag and fed it to Lin Wan'er.

In fact, given that Lin Wan'er's cultivation is sealed now, continuously taking pills like "Ice Dew Pill" would cause considerable damage to her body's vitality.

But between two evils, Zhou Chun had to choose the lesser of two evils. In order to suppress the restless desire in her body and save her face, she had no choice but to do this.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

With Ren Changqing's full efforts, the seal in Lin Wan'er's body was finally successfully lifted, and her magical powers were restored.

As her magic power recovered, her consciousness also recovered rapidly, and she was able to use her magic power to suppress the medicinal power of the [Lie Nu Pills] in her body.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately said, "Elder Lin, you should meditate here to remove the poison first. I will go outside to protect you."

After saying that, he took Ren Changqing outside.

After the two of them got outside, Zhou Chun's face turned cold. He looked at Fu Changqing coldly and said, "Tell me, who gave you the courage to treat Elder Lin like this!"

Previously, when Lin Wan'er came to the Zhou family, she said that because Lin Hongyu had not returned, under the inducement of external forces, people like Fu Changqing began to make moves to seize power.

Now that the power seizure has already happened, Zhou Chun must of course get to the bottom of the matter.

However, facing Zhou Chun's interrogation, Fu Changqing did not give a direct answer, but only whispered back: "Daoyou, please understand. Although I participated in the seizure of power and sealed Daoyou Lin, I did not know in advance that Tian Fengyi had harmed Daoyou Lin, otherwise I would have stopped him!"

"Don't fool Zhou, Zhou didn't ask you this!"

Zhou Chun's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold tone: "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me who is the mastermind behind this!"

These words, filled with murderous intent, made Fu Changqing's eyelids twitch.

He finally couldn't stand the pressure and sighed, "It was Huoyang Sanren! It was Tian Fengyi who colluded with him, using coercion and inducement to deceive us, and that's why we were forced to do something that would let down Senior Lin and Fellow Daoist Lin!"

"What is the cultivation level of Huoyang Sanren?" Zhou Chun asked again with a gleam in his eyes.

Since Fu Changqing had explained it, he no longer had to hide anything and immediately answered, "Huoyang Sanren is also in the late Purple Mansion stage. He once fought with Senior Lin and seemed to be slightly inferior to him. Therefore, he has always been a little dissatisfied with Senior Lin!"

"Is that so? Then tell me clearly how you colluded with Huoyang Sanren and how you plotted against Elder Lin!"

Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully, and immediately asked Fu Changqing to explain everything that had happened.

From Fu Changqing's own perspective, the reason why he, the old man in green, and the white-haired old woman seized power was mostly out of helplessness.

Because Lin Hongyu had not appeared for several years, even though Lin Wan'er swore that she was in seclusion in the Great Zhou Kingdom to form an elixir, no one could prove it.

And even if the story is true, everyone knows that it will take at least ten years to see results in forming a pill, and the success rate is very low, and there is even a high risk of death if it fails.

Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be difficult to accept that Fu Changqing and others had obediently followed Lin Wan'er's orders over the years and handed over the bulk of the base's income to Lin Wan'er.

After all, Fu Changqing and others are not young anymore. In another ten or eight years, they will be very close to the end of their lifespan.

Another situation is that after learning that Lin Hongyu had been away from the Hongyu Peak stronghold for a long time, Huoyang Sanren, who had always been resentful of his defeat at the hands of Lin Hongyu, also wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Although Huoyang Sanren himself did not dare to take action himself because he was worried that Lin Hongyu would successfully form a pill and return, he colluded with a few daring people like Tian Fengyi, and threatened and forced Changqing and others from within.

If Fu Changqing and his companions do not cooperate in seizing power and capturing Lin Wan'er, their lives will be in danger.

Under pressure from both inside and outside, and tempted by some benefits promised by Huoyang Sanren, Fu Changqing and his companions could only launch a power-grabbing operation together, sealing Lin Wan'er's cultivation and imprisoning her.

However, compared with radical elements like Tian Fengyi, elderly monks like Fu Changqing are more stable.

They didn't really dare to send Lin Wan'er to Huoyang Sanren, but just detained her first, wanting to see the situation before making a decision.

After seizing power at the same time, they also saw Huoyang Sanren's concerns, and were no longer afraid that Huoyang Sanren would come personally to occupy Hongyu Peak.

However, Fu Changqing and the others did not expect that Tian Fengyi would be so bold as to take advantage of the opportunity to guard Lin Wan'er and poison her.

I also didn't expect that there was a force like the Zhou family behind Lin Wan'er.

Now, because of the appearance of Zhou Chun, their attempt to seize power has become a joke, and several radical elements were all killed on the spot.

As the matter has developed to this point, Fu Changqing is filled with emotion and great regret.

After Zhou Chun understood what had happened, he also had an idea of ​​the situation at Hongyu Peak and knew what he had to do next.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Chang Qing, "You stay here and don't leave at all, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he asked the Golden Winged Tiger to guard Fu Changqing in the yard, while he went into the room to check on Lin Wan'er's condition.

After meditating for a while, Lin Wan'er had suppressed most of the restless desire in her body. After Zhou Chun came in, she was temporarily able to stand up and talk to him.

She stood up, straightened her messy clothes, and then bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "It's all thanks to the clan leader tonight. If the clan leader hadn't arrived in time, I would have been killed by the thieves. I will never forget this kindness!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hurried forward, grabbed her wrist, helped her up and said, "Elder Lin, you are too polite. The elder went to a foreign country to expand the territory of our Zhou family and made great contributions to our Zhou family. As the patriarch, how can I watch the elder fall into trouble and not help him!"

After saying this, he let go of his hands, knowing when to stop.

Lin Wan'er heard this, but still said: "Anyway, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. I will remember your kindness today. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you with my life."

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I think I need to stay in seclusion for a few days to recover my strength. I'll have to trouble the clan leader to help stabilize the situation in the next few days. After I come out of seclusion, I'll tell the clan leader about the situation in detail!"

"No problem, Elder Lin, just rest assured and recuperate. With Zhou here, everything will be fine!"

Zhou Chun agreed without hesitation, and was confident that he could stabilize the situation.

However, before Lin Wan'er went into seclusion, Zhou Chun left the base and brought back the Golden-Armored Rock Turtle and the Wood Spirit.

Afterwards, he sent Lin Wan'er to Lin Hongyu's cave for seclusion, and then he began to take over the stronghold.

He called the remaining three foundation-building monks in the stronghold to his front and started to lecture them.

"Listen carefully, all three of you. Don't say that Senior Lin just went to the Great Zhou Kingdom to meditate in seclusion. Even if she is really gone, this Hongyu Peak stronghold is still the territory of my Zhou family. It is not your turn to seize power!"

"From now on, if you three behave well and serve the base as you did before, you will receive all the benefits you deserve."

"If anyone dares to play any tricks in front of me and I find out, don't blame me for not warning you now!"

At the end of his speech, Zhou Chun's tone also revealed a cold murderous intent.

He knew that the only way to deal with these cunning and unscrupulous cultivators was to make them truly afraid, and only then would they behave themselves.

Otherwise, these guys will try their best to fool people as long as they think they can.

At this time, his prestige from killing four people in a row was still there, and they heard that there was a powerful family behind him. Fu Changqing and the other two were shocked and scared. They didn't dare to have any ulterior motives, and they patted their chests and promised to be obedient.

After this lecture, Zhou Chun asked the three men to bring the personnel and property information of the base for his own review.

Although the real purpose of establishing the Hongyu Peak stronghold is just to provide cover and convenience for the mining of [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade], it does not mean that there is no money to be made here.

As a base for independent cultivators, it itself is extremely attractive to them, and Lin Hongyu's reputation as a late Purple Mansion cultivator is enough to make this place famous.

Those independent cultivators who come here to practice have to pay spirit coins, and setting up stalls and shopping inside will also bring income to the stronghold.

A large part of these incomes are net income, and there is no need to share them with the Qi Refining cultivators below. All of them belong to the Foundation Establishment cultivators above and Lin Hongyu.

When the situation was the best, the base could earn tens of thousands of spirit coins a year, 50% of which would be taken away by Lin Hongyu, and only 30% to 40% would be distributed to Changqing and others.

Precisely because the profits are so huge, Fu Changqing and others would want to seize power after Lin Hongyu was absent from the stronghold for a long time.

After all, if they took over Lin Hongyu's income, each of them could earn more than one thousand spirit coins every year, which would be more comfortable than those foundation-building elders of the Zhou family.

The bulk of the income from the previous few years was taken by Lin Wan'er on behalf of Lin Hongyu. With Lin Wan'er being detained, the wealth was divided up by Fu Changqing and others, and a lot of it was given to Huoyang Sanren.

But fortunately, the relevant account books are still there, and Lin Wan'er herself can testify.

Zhou Chun checked the account book at this time, and first asked Fu Changqing and others to return the things they had taken from Lin Wan'er, and then began to count the belongings of Tian Fengyi and others who were killed by him.
