Chapter 469 Zhou Mingde Breakthrough [Subscription Request]

The red-robed old man who came to rescue Zhou Chun introduced himself as one of the Three Qimen of Shen State. His surname was Liu and his given name was Boyang. He and Wei Yong had been friends for hundreds of years.

This person was entrusted by Wei Yong to secretly stay in the camp headquarters. Once he detected Zhou Chun's distress signal, he would rush to rescue immediately.

This time, it was because he arrived in time after receiving the signal that Zhou Chun avoided a direct battle with the Jindan stage demon.

At this time, entrusted by Zhou Chun, he immediately searched the soul of the "White-haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng who was still in a coma.

In the quiet room, Liu Boyang was seen sitting cross-legged, making hand seals with his hands. Soon he placed his palms on Ge Changsheng's head, closed his eyes and searched Ge Changsheng's soul.

Zhou Chun was outside protecting him.

Less than a quarter of an hour passed, and then Liu Boyang withdrew his hand and slowly opened his eyes.

"How is it? Did Senior Liu find anything?"

Zhou Chun waited for a while, and seeing that Liu Boyang had no intention of speaking, he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing his words, Liu Boyang immediately spoke slowly: "A restriction has been placed deep in his soul, and some important memories cannot be read, but fortunately, some recent events can still be glimpsed."

At this point, his face darkened, and he continued in a serious tone, "My dear Zhou, you are right. These demon cultivators were able to find this place accurately to surround and kill you. It was indeed a well-planned plan. Someone tipped them off, or even turned a blind eye and deliberately let them pass through the heavy defenses!"

"Who was it? Who tipped them off and gave them the backdoor?"

Zhou Chun looked angry and shouted in a low voice with an angry look on his face.

Speculation is one thing, and turning speculation into fact is another.

He had been fighting diligently on the front line to resist the invasion of the Yuanmo Legion, and had shed blood and sweat for the Tianling Legion, but now he was betrayed by his own people.

No one can help but be angry.

Many people believe that if a person lives long enough, sees more things, and gains more experience, his emotions should be restrained and he should not be happy or angry about anything.

In fact, those are all self-righteous thoughts!!
As long as he is still a human being, as long as he has not practiced some special skills and supernatural powers to become heartless and eliminate his humanity, then no matter how rich his experience is, he will still have his own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

In fact, the longer a person lives, the more likely he is to become moody because of his many experiences.

He may not care at all about things that ordinary people care a lot about.

But he may care very much about some small things that ordinary people don’t care about!

A very simple example is that a rich man leaves a large sum of money outside his door and closes the door and goes to sleep at night.

Although he had already prepared himself for the possibility that his money would be stolen the next morning.

But when he opens the door in the morning and finds that the money is gone, he will definitely feel negative emotions in that instant.

Then he could just shake his head indifferently and sigh that people's hearts have changed.

You can also mobilize your own energy in anger and find the person who stole the money.

No matter what choice he makes, it cannot be denied that he was once angry because his money was stolen!

Take Zhou Chun for example now, even though he had guessed in advance that someone must have betrayed the information to the demon cultivator.

Now that his speculation has been confirmed, he can't help but feel angry and disheartened.

Of course he could control his emotions and not express anything.

But he didn't have to do that.

Because Liu Boyang was not his subordinate, nor was he one of the younger generations of his Zhou family. He was his predecessor, a stranger who had little connection with him.

He doesn't need to deliberately control his emotions to show that he can remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis, or to appear to be very sophisticated and determined.

On the contrary, he now follows his emotions and expresses his anger. This not only allows him not to suppress himself, but also makes it easier for people to think that he is a person of character, and it is easier for them to like him and identify with him.

After all, most people don't want to deal with someone who is extremely cunning and hides everything.

It is normal to behave differently in front of different people: family, friends, superiors, subordinates, strangers, and enemies.

Zhou Chun is humble and polite in front of close elders and is not afraid to reveal some of his shortcomings.

In front of ordinary friends and tribesmen, he makes people feel that he has substance, is capable, and is trustworthy.

In front of his boss, he would be humble and polite, carefully figure out his boss's intentions, and try to please him.

In front of his subordinates and juniors, he is dignified yet easy-going, always keeps his word, is capable and convincing.

In front of strangers and enemies, he can act freely according to the situation and does not need to pay too much attention to his words and actions.

If he is like this, other monks can naturally be like this too!
In fact, in the world of immortal cultivation, many low- and middle-level cultivators like to imagine what the life of high-level cultivators is like.

But in reality, the Jindan stage cultivators are completely different from what they think.

Some Jindan-stage monks feel that they have reached the limit of their lives, so they indulge themselves, indulge in pleasure, take in concubines, and enjoy beautiful women, fine wine and delicious food every day.

Some Jindan stage cultivators may become obsessed with a certain cultivation technique and become obsessed with delving into studying a certain skill.

Some Jindan stage monks may be obsessed with wilderness adventures and like to go to various dangerous places for adventure challenges.

These Jindan stage cultivators are not necessarily smarter than Qi Refining stage cultivators, nor are they necessarily more cunning than Qi Refining stage cultivators.

However, the power they possess allows them to crush the Qi Refining cultivators in all aspects, making their so-called cleverness and wisdom and cunning nature all become a joke!
This is also the charm of the world of immortal cultivation!
In the mortal world, smart people can use their wisdom to control the resources of a country or even the world.

But in the world of cultivating immortals, wisdom can only give you a slight advantage in the early stages. As time goes by, wisdom becomes less important.

What matters in the world of immortal cultivation is the strength of one’s cultivation.

However, the strength of one's cultivation is not entirely determined by intelligence and wisdom!
In short, when Liu Boyang saw Zhou Chun angrily asking him about the situation of the person who leaked the information, he did not feel surprised or have any bad impression of him.

He just shook his head slightly and said, "The specific matters were all handled by 'Prince of the Netherworld' Yin Shaotian. Ge Changsheng only knows about these circumstances and does not know the specific details."

At this point, his tone sank again, and he said in a deep voice: "But as long as this kind of thing really happens, as long as those people do this kind of thing, we can always find out something, and we won't let them get away with it forever!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

It’s not that he didn’t believe what Liu Boyang said, but he knew it in his heart.

If there is no definite evidence, it would be very difficult to find out the big fish if we only investigate those people who turned a blind eye and let the demon cultivators enter the country.

I'm afraid the final result will be to deal with some small fish that show up, and then let the matter rest.

But even if he knew this would happen, there was nothing he could do now and he could only continue to wait for an opportunity!
Next, Zhou Chun and Liu Boyang took the "White-haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng to the battalion headquarters and waited patiently for Wei Yong to return.

Zhou Chun also did not give up looking for possible surviving monks from the first brigade, hoping to find survivors and understand what happened after he left.

In addition, he needed a survivor like this to testify for himself and prove that his killing of Yue Feng was in accordance with the rules of the battlefield.

Hard work pays off. After two days of searching by mobilizing his connections, Zhou Chun actually found two survivors.

The two survivors were both cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. When the formation at the base was broken that day, they and other cultivators took the initiative to use life-saving methods to escape, and luckily managed to escape the siege and hide.

With these two witnesses in hand, Zhou Chun felt a little relieved and personally gave them top-grade healing elixirs to restore their vitality.

After waiting at the battalion headquarters for more than half a month, Wei Yong and his companions finally broke through the demon cultivators' stronghold.

However, Wei Yong, who had already known what was happening in the rear, did not seem very happy at this time.

After letting a deputy commander lead the large force back to the base, he personally went back to the battalion headquarters.

"Don't worry, Zhengchun. Since this has happened, I will definitely request a thorough investigation from above. I will never let the brothers who died in the First Battalion die in vain!"

In the battalion command post, when Wei Yong saw Zhou Chun, he looked at him seriously and made his statement without even asking for any details.

Zhou Chun was deeply moved by what he said. He bowed deeply and said, "I would like to thank you, Commander, on behalf of the brothers who died in the battle. With your words, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Well, now Zhengchun, tell me what happened that day."

Wei Yong nodded, and only then did he ask Zhou Chun about what happened that day.

Zhou Chun immediately started talking from the moment the demon cultivator appeared, and recounted what had happened in detail, including his own thoughts when he decided to kill Yue Feng on the spot.

He said that the golden-armored mountain turtle used a stone burrow to carry him to escape because he used a secret beast-taming technique and merged it with the aura of his spiritual pet, which allowed him to be carried by the golden-armored mountain turtle through underground burrowing.

Compared to treasures, secret techniques are undoubtedly a pretext that is difficult to expose.

After all, you can't ask Zhou Chun to hand over the secret technique to him!

As expected, Wei Yong did not dwell too much on the earth escape technique, but only expressed his concern about the two things: he killed Yue Feng in battle and captured Ge Changsheng.

After listening to Zhou Chun's narration, Wei Yong lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at him and said, "According to what you said, Zheng Chun, you really can't say you did anything wrong when you killed Yue Feng on the battlefield."

“But Yue Feng is, after all, a late Purple Mansion cultivator, and he comes from a great sect like Huoyun Palace. Even if you are right and have witnesses, I’m afraid Huoyun Palace may not give up easily!”

At this point, he smiled again and said, "Fortunately, Zhengchun, you have captured Ge Changsheng alive. With the information we obtained from searching his soul as evidence, even if we cannot prove Yue Feng's crime of treason, we can still make Huoyun Palace suffer the loss. There is no more reason to embarrass you for the time being!"

It was not difficult to hear from his words that he was not unhappy about Zhou Chun killing Yue Feng, and he still supported Zhou Chun from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Chun was relieved after hearing what he said, and then he told the truth: "In fact, I did regret it afterwards. If I hadn't killed Yue Feng at that time, maybe with him in charge of the garrison, those brothers wouldn't have died!"

Then he shook his head and said, "But what Yue Feng did at that time really made me unable to think too much, so I can only get rid of him first!" Wei Yong heard what he said and immediately waved his hand and said, "You didn't do anything wrong. If I were you at that time, I would definitely deal with this malicious guy first to avoid being harmed by him later!"

"As for those monks who died in the battle, we can only say that they were unlucky and had to endure this disaster in their lives!"

Obviously compared to Zhou Chun, Wei Yong, who has been used to seeing a large number of his monks die on the battlefield, has long been accustomed to such things and will not be emotionally affected by the deaths of these low- and middle-level monks.

After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "This incident has also reminded us that in your current condition, it seems that you are not suitable to lead an army alone to guard the camp. I will recommend you to the higher-ups as the inspector of this camp. In the future, you only need to be responsible to me!"

The position of inspector was originally an undemanding one, and in terms of power, it was completely incomparable to Zhou Chun's current position as the commander of the first brigade.

However, Zhou Chun did not come to the battlefield to fight for power or enjoy the feeling of being in power.

Therefore, he had no dissatisfaction with Wei Yong's decision, and immediately nodded and said: "I will obey the orders of the commander."

Wei Yong was also decisive in his actions. Once he had made the decision, he quickly submitted a report to the emperor to transfer Zhou Chun to be the inspector of the camp, and the decision was passed without much hindrance.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun stayed in the battalion headquarters, practicing hard while waiting for the results of the investigation into the traitor.

After waiting for two or three months, the investigation results that Zhou Chun had been waiting for finally came out.

Just as he thought, without factual evidence, it would be impossible to catch any real big fish by just investigating and collecting evidence from some suspicious persons.

The so-called investigation result was that three Purple Mansion Stage cultivators were found to be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

One of them who had solid evidence was sentenced to death, and the remaining two were merely stripped of their positions and sent to the trap camp because the evidence was not particularly sufficient!
On the surface, this investigation ends here.

As compensation and reward to Zhou Chun, he was rewarded with the [Demon Killing Order] for his contribution in capturing the "White-haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng.

Even though Zhou Chun was not satisfied with the result, he had no choice but to accept it silently.

But he also asked Wei Yong to help him get information about the Leopard Tail Witch, silently waiting for the opportunity for revenge.

Wei Yong disagreed with his idea and thought there was no need for him to do so.

But seeing that he was so determined, Wei Yong didn't try to persuade him any further and could only agree.

But the news he learned later forced Zhou Chun to temporarily give up his thoughts of revenge.

Because the Leopard Tail Witch did not have a fixed position in any team and was relatively free to move, it was not easy for him to find the place where she stayed for a long time.

After all, the intelligence system of the Tianling Legion cannot always help him to avenge his personal grudges.

In this way, time passed day by day, and soon another three years had passed!

During these three years, Zhou Chun has not been able to continue his previous miracle.

Because he is so famous now, whenever he appears on the battlefield, ordinary Purple Mansion Stage demon cultivators dare not fight with him. They either try to escape for their lives, or are fought with by cultivators at the "Seven Evils of Yuanmo" level.

As a result, although Zhou Chun fought in more than a dozen battles during these three years, he only killed seven Purple Mansion Stage demon cultivators, and his military exploits were not many.

It’s just that because he has killed too many famous demon cultivators, his ranking among the “Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit” is as stable as a rock and has never been threatened.

Also because he has maintained his position among the "Seven Great Heroes of Heavenly Spirits", he is able to obtain a [Demon-Breaking Order] as a reward every year. He now has eight [Demon-Breaking Orders] in his hand, which is more than many Jindan-stage cultivators!

However, although Zhou Chun himself did not achieve many military achievements, he did gain a lot in three years.

First, Lei Jiao Baibai successfully advanced to a third-grade medium-grade monster after refining the third-grade top-grade monster silver-armored dragon fish demon pill.

After the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle Shitou refined the third-grade low-grade earth-attributed demon pill, his cultivation level also reached the peak of the third-grade low-grade demon beast. Even without external help, he would be able to break through in at most another ten years.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also received two good news.

One is Lin Wan'er, who took the "Xuanxin Zihuan Dan" to open up her Purple Mansion for the second time, and also successfully opened up her Purple Mansion and became a Purple Mansion stage cultivator.

Secondly, Zhou Mingde finally dissolved the barrier of the small realm through hard work, and his cultivation broke through to the late stage of Purple Mansion!
When Zhou Chun learned the good news that Zhou Mingde had broken through to the late Purple Mansion stage, he was extremely happy and specially asked Wei Yong to give him the remaining few "Dragon Spirit Pills".

Because Zhou Chun himself had taken the Barrier Breaking Elixir to break through the realm barrier, he did not dare to take elixirs for improving his magic power to speed up the accumulation of magic power.

However, Zhou Mingde had not taken many pills for many years. He could completely improve his magic power to the upper limit quickly by taking the "Dragon Spirit Pill", and then try to break through the pill formation!
Yes, Zhou Chun wanted Zhou Mingde to break through to the Jindan level as well!
The Zhou family now has "extra" spiritual objects for forming pills. The [Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid] and [Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid] obtained from "Corpse Evil General" Jiang Zhong cannot be used by Zhou Chun when forming a pill because their effects overlap with those of the [Five Elements Spirit Fruit].

So it is entirely possible to let Zhou Mingde give it a try as well.

If it succeeds, you will make a lot of money.

Even if it fails, it is a respect for Zhou Mingde, the ancestor of the family.

He has devoted his entire life to the Zhou family and has never taken advantage of the family. Now that he is old, he should enjoy the support of the family!

At the same time, during the three years of war, the Tianling Legion has recovered nearly half of its lost territory, and the Yuanmo Legion's offensive can be said to be weak and no longer as fierce as at the beginning.

But now the problem arises.

Because the Yuanmo Legion lost half of the territory they controlled, they were forced to shrink their forces and build a stronger defense line.

It would be extremely difficult for the Tianling Legion to break through the remaining defense line and drive the Yuanmo Legion out of the Tianling territory completely.

The war between the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

However, this time, the Tianling Legion has to think about how to completely defeat the Yuanmo Legion and drive it out of the Tianling territory, while the Yuanmo Legion has to think about how to defend the last position and retain the hope of continuing to occupy the Tianling territory.

……

Fengguo, inside the mountain gate of Jingyang Sect.

Just when the war on the front line was at a stalemate, more than 20 Yuanying stage masters on the front line of Fengguo gathered here to hold a high-level meeting.

At the meeting, a middle-aged man in golden armor said in a deep voice: "Now the reason has been figured out. The reason why the number of reinforcements sent by the demon cultivators has decreased is because the space transmission channel they came from has been inexplicably disturbed and has problems. They can no longer send a large number of cultivators in succession like before!"

"Therefore, we must seize this opportunity and drive them into the Absolute Spirit Desert in one fell swoop before the interference of the space transmission channel is eliminated, and completely close the space transmission channel!"

Not long after the words fell, an old Taoist in a white robe wearing a black lotus crown frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Tu Ling, it's easy to say this, but have you ever thought about it? The number of Yuanying stage old demons coming to our Tianling Realm is not much less than ours, and many of them have strange magical powers. In actual combat power, they are even stronger than many of our fellow Daoists!"

"If we really rush forward to fight, it would be fine if we win, but if we lose, this good situation will no longer exist and we will be reversed by those demon cultivators again!"

"Rather than betting on this probability, in my opinion, it is better to bet that those demon cultivators cannot eliminate the interference of the space transmission channel at all, or even that the space transmission channel will collapse and destroy itself, completely eliminating their thoughts of staying in the Tianlingdi Realm!"

Hearing the words of the old Taoist in white robe, the man in golden armor suddenly glared at him and shouted angrily: "Master Qi, don't you think your suggestion is ridiculous? Even a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage would not think of relying on unknown factors to win the war. I didn't expect that you, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage, would have such a naive idea!"

"Oh, you said my ideas were childish, and I said your ideas were crazy. Only a madman would have such crazy ideas as yours! We have worked hard to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and enjoy thousands of years of life. How can we fight for our lives as easily as those low-level cultivators?"

The old Taoist in white robe smiled coldly and refuted the accusation of the man in golden armor mercilessly. He had no intention of saving face for the other party and did not hide his inner thoughts.

For these Nascent Soul cultivators, sometimes, they just talk like babies. There is no need to be cautious or beat around the bush, just do what comes to mind.

Anyway, no matter how fiercely they quarrel, they rarely actually fight.

Even if they really start fighting, it will be difficult to tell who will live or die.

Why not live more freely and comfortably?

As for the quarrel between the two Yuanying stage masters, the other Yuanying stage masters did not feel surprised, and no one was in a hurry to take sides and express their opinions.

As Yuanying stage masters, there is no intelligence on the battlefield that is beyond their authority, so many people already had ideas about what to do before coming to participate in this meeting.

The difference is that some people are deep-thinking and unwilling to reveal their ideas easily, while others do not mind revealing their ideas first and seek people who share the same ideas as them.

After a quarrel, the man in golden armor simply stopped arguing with the old Taoist in white robe and turned his gaze to a monk sitting at the top of the hall.

He was a white-haired old man in a purple robe. He had a deep and mysterious aura that was far superior to all the monks in the hall.

When the golden-armored man's eyes fell on the purple-robed old man, his eyes suddenly became much more solemn, and his tone was also very respectful. "Master Kunxu, what do you think? You have personally checked the space transmission channel, and you should know it much more deeply than a coward like Master Qi. Do you think it is possible for it to collapse on its own?"

As soon as these words came out, an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage immediately responded, "Yes, Master Kunxu, you are a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and you are quite proficient in the way of space. You might as well express your opinions for our reference!"

"That's right, Master Kunxu, as a great monk, your words carry more weight than those of us. You should tell us what you think first, and then we can express our own opinions and make a decision by voting!"

"I would also like to hear your opinion first!"

It turned out that the old man in purple robe was actually an extremely rare great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!
The status of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage was obviously extraordinary. Even those old Nascent Soul stage monsters in the hall who were in the same realm as him were trying to please him and were obviously much more reserved in their words.

At this time, facing the requests of a group of Yuanying stage old monsters, the purple-robed old man Kunxu Zhenren glanced at everyone with a flickering gaze, and then said lightly: "Well, since all of you Taoist friends want me to express your opinions, then I will say a few words first."

As soon as the words fell, the hall immediately fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Soon, only the calm words of the purple-robed old man, Master Kunxu, were floating in the hall.

"It is true that I have been deep into the demon's nest and close to that space transmission channel. In my opinion at that time, this stable space transmission channel transformed from the opposite space crack is simply a miracle in the world of immortal cultivation. I am afraid that even a master of transformation would find it difficult to achieve this!"

"From my perspective at the time, it was almost impossible to destroy this space transmission channel unless I attacked with all my strength at close range!"

"So if there is nothing wrong with the space channel itself, I don't agree with launching a general attack rashly, because there is hardly any chance to destroy the space transmission channel!"

"But now that the space transmission channel has been inexplicably disturbed and has problems, perhaps even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage can destroy it!"

"So I thought, maybe we can try to organize an attack and see if we can have a chance to destroy that space transmission channel!"

Today I have written 7,000 words, not counting the make-up. I will see if I can write 8,000 words tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to make up for the missing words in the previous two days!
