Chapter 479 The War is Over [Subscribe]
Yin Shaotian died from the backlash of the fourth-level ghost king he released.
Logically speaking, his belongings should be dealt with jointly by Zhou Chun and Li Qianyang.
However, Zhou Chun had no idea what Li Qianyang was thinking, and the other party now had a sect elder with the Jindan stage cultivation by his side.
If he didn't speak up, he was worried that Li Qianyang or the Jindan stage cultivator from Zhengyang Palace would not give him any chance.
So he decided to take the initiative and express his needs.
The matter was of great importance, and he could not afford to back down on this issue.
After hearing Zhou Chun's voice transmission, Li Qianyang was also slightly startled and looked at him with surprise.
When Li Qianyang saw Zhou Chun's serious expression, his heart suddenly moved. He nodded to him and said, "This beast was killed by Daoist Fellow Zhou and me. Daoist Fellow Zhou should have a share of the things in his storage bag."
As he spoke, he bowed to the Jindan-stage cultivator from Zhengyang Palace who came to help him and said, "Disciple greets Uncle Master Xiao. Thank you for drawing your sword and helping me to repel the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, the Jindan-stage cultivator waved his hand very kindly and said, "Junior Brother Qianyang, there is no need to be polite. With your ability, even if I don't take action, you will not be afraid of the Ghost King!"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Chun again, nodded slightly and said, "This must be Mr. Zhou, you are indeed a young hero!"
"I don't dare to be praised like this by the senior. I, Zhou Zhengchun, the junior, greets Senior Xiao!"
Zhou Chun quickly bowed and greeted him, his tone very respectful.
Seeing how humble and polite he was, the Jindan-stage cultivator surnamed Xiao had a good impression of him and said immediately, "The ghost king has fled into the Youquan Lake and has a deep hatred for you two. It would be best if you two leave this place first."
"Yes, I (the younger generation) understand."
Zhou Chun and Li Qianyang responded one after another. Then Li Qianyang raised his hand and took Yin Shaotian's relics into his hand. He winked at Zhou Chun, and the two left the lake together.
After retreating to dozens of miles away from the lake shore, Zhou Chun and Li Qianyang finally sat together in their own rest camp.
After the two of them sat down in a stone house, Li Qianyang first set up a soundproof barrier, then looked at Zhou Chun with a serious expression and said, "Is what Brother Zhou said before true? How did you know that Yin Shaotian had communicated with our traitor?"
"This is absolutely true. Fellow Daoist Li, please listen to me and I will tell you slowly."
Zhou Chun nodded seriously, and then told the story of how he was ambushed.
Zhengyang Palace is the most active force in dealing with the evil cultivators, and has no grudges against him. Zhou Chun is not worried that Li Qianyang will do something unfavorable to him in this matter.
He also knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Li Qianyang might not let him check Yin Shaotian's storage bag.
After listening to his story, Li Qianyang could not help but nod and said, "If it is true as Daoist Zhou said, then Yin Shaotian is indeed very suspicious."
"Does Fellow Daoist Li agree to Zhou's proposal?"
Zhou Chun looked at Li Qianyang with a slightly happy expression.
“Of course, without the help of Fellow Daoist Zhou, Li would not be able to kill Yin Shaotian at all, and he might even harm him!”
Li Qianyang smiled slightly, but accepted Zhou Chun's favor generously.
Next, he personally began to erase the imprint of spiritual consciousness left by Yin Shaotian.
After about a quarter of an hour had passed, he erased the imprint of spiritual consciousness in the storage bag, and then poured out everything inside without any hesitation.
The originally empty stone house was instantly filled with all kinds of objects, many of which were magical materials that emitted strange smells.
"Everything is here. Brother Zhou, take a look and see if you can find what you are looking for."
Li Qianyang frowned and handed the storage bag in his hand to Zhou Chun to prove his innocence.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun said a few polite words, then took the storage bag from him and put away those magical materials that obviously could not be used as evidence.
Then he turned his gaze to other items, especially the jade slips and books, and began to examine them carefully.
The matter was of great importance, so Zhou Chun conducted a very thorough examination, and Li Qianyang waited for him very patiently.
After more than half an hour had passed, Zhou Chun finally had a gratifying harvest.
In a jade box, he found a secret book specially collected by Yin Shaotian, which recorded the correspondence between him and some monks of the Tianling Legion.
Although Yin Shaotian did not record the real names of the Tianling Legion monks in the secret book, it should not be difficult to find the identity of the traitor as long as the content of the communication between the two parties is carefully studied.
As long as we can find this traitor, we can naturally follow the clues to find the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes!
"Please take a look, Fellow Daoist Li. The contents of this secret book are enough to prove that what Zhou said is true."
After Zhou Chun took a quick look at the contents of the secret book, he handed it to Li Qianyang.
Seeing this, Li Qianyang took the secret book without hesitation and began to look through it.
After roughly reading the contents recorded above, Li Qianyang snorted angrily: "Humph, these guys are so bold that they dare to betray their alliance comrades and collude with the demon cultivators!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what are you going to do with this?"
Hearing his question, Zhou Chun immediately said without hesitation: "If Fellow Daoist Li is willing to give this item to me, I will give it to our camp commander Wei Yong, and ask the commander to submit it to the legion to find those traitors!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qianyang nodded and said, "You can give the original copy to Brother Zhou, but please allow me to make a copy as well!"
"no problem."
Zhou Chun agreed immediately.
Then he asked Li Qianyang to use the jade slip to copy the contents of the secret book.
After Li Qianyang finished copying, he handed the original secret book to Zhou Chun, then pointed to the other spiritual objects in the room and said, "You and I will split these things equally. What do you think, Brother Zhou?"
"Zhou has no objection."
Zhou Chun took a look at those things and quickly nodded in agreement.
In fact, he was already satisfied with getting the secret book, but if he could get an extra reward, he would definitely not refuse it.
Moreover, he did make a great contribution to killing Yin Shaotian, so it is reasonable for him to take a share of his relics.
There were certainly many good things among Yin Shaotian’s relics, but there were no spiritual objects that could form the elixir. Perhaps, like Yan Wuji, he had given all these good things to his elders for safekeeping.
Zhou Chun and Li Qianyang each took a few third-tier magic weapons and talismans looted by Yin Shaotian, and divided the remaining elixirs, spirit coins and other sundries together. They each got 40,000 to 50,000 spirit coins, and some valuable spirit objects.
While the two of them were dividing the things, another disturbance occurred at Youquan Lake. It turned out that a Jindan-stage demon cultivator of the Corpse Demon Cult had awakened a large number of dormant corpses at the bottom of Youquan Lake with a secret method, and summoned a large number of corpse servants and minions to attack the low-level cultivators of the Tianling Legion.
Due to a moment of carelessness, quite a few Qi Refining cultivators were really deceived and lost their lives innocently.
After learning about this, Zhou Chun and Li Qianyang hurried back to the front line and each took action to wipe out those refined corpses.
After another half an hour of hard work, all the dead bodies that crawled out from the bottom of the lake were finally suppressed, and all the demon cultivators who did not have time to escape were also beheaded.
The Jindan stage demon cultivators in the sky had already moved to another battlefield together with the Jindan stage cultivators of the Tianling Legion who were chasing them. Only the three Jindan stage cultivators of the Zhengyang Palace who had previously worked together to break the formation and consumed a lot of energy were left to take charge of the situation.
Seeing that the situation was settled, Zhou Chun immediately brought Zhou Zhengyong and Xu Fu back to the camp to prevent any further trouble.
Afterwards, they meditated to restore their magic power while waiting for the commanders of their respective camps to return.
Unexpectedly, before Wei Yong came back, he received a summons from three Jindan-stage cultivators from Zhengyang Palace, who summoned all of them, the Zifu-stage cultivators, to the big tent in the camp to discuss matters.
"Just now, the three of us received a message from the front line that the demon cultivators in the mountain gate of the Corpse Demon Cult headquarters have already broken out, and are now trying to break through our defense line and sneak into the rear to cause chaos. When you go back, immediately gather the troops of this headquarters and disperse them into large groups to advance towards this area. Make sure not to let go of any demon cultivator who tries to escape from Feng Country!"
Inside the big tent, a Jindan-stage cultivator from Zhengyang Palace, upon seeing Zhou Chun and the others arrive, directly announced the reason for gathering everyone and distributed tasks.
After hearing his words, the expressions of many monks present changed drastically.
Especially for cultivators like Zhou Chun who came from a family of immortal cultivators, their faces instantly became as gloomy as water, and their mood suddenly became much heavier.
They all knew that if they allowed these evil cultivators to sneak into the country where their family was, it would definitely bring great trouble to their family.
Those demon cultivators were all evil and vicious, and were full of resentment towards the cultivators from various Tianling countries.
If they were allowed to sneak into various countries, they would definitely not be safe, whether for the purpose of killing people to practice martial arts or simply for revenge.
Soon someone spoke up with concern, "I dare not disobey the order of the senior, but the hundreds of men under my command are either killed or injured. There are less than a hundred men who are able to fight. If we act alone, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat some powerful demon cultivators and let them escape!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately agreed with them, and even Zhou Chun couldn't help but nod his head.
Many cultivators here now, including Zhou Chun himself, have participated in more than one battle in succession. They have suffered great losses in both their magic power and mental state, and some people have even been injured.
It can be said that the current strength of many cultivators is less than half of what it was in their prime.
Under such circumstances, asking them to immediately encircle and suppress the demon cultivators who broke out separately would be really asking too much.
But the Jindan-stage cultivator from Zhengyang Palace said calmly, "Don't worry about this. Most of the demon cultivators who break out and prepare to sneak into other countries are only at the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages. The truly capable demon cultivators are all breaking out towards the Jueling Desert, preparing to cross the Jueling Desert and return to the Yuanmo Realm!"
"And you should know that not only are you in poor condition after a series of battles, but the condition of those demon cultivators is definitely worse than yours."
Things had come to this point, and everyone could not help but look at each other. No one dared to continue to shirk responsibility and risk offending their superiors.
But no one dared to take the lead and obey the order easily.
To put it bluntly, although the three Jindan-stage cultivators of Zhengyang Palace have noble status, they are not the direct superiors of many cultivators present.
Faced with a mission that could endanger their lives, they had no choice but to be cautious.
Seeing this, the faces of the three Zhengyang Palace Jindan stage cultivators quickly darkened.
The Jindan-stage cultivator who spoke glanced at everyone fiercely and said, "What? Are you guys trying to disobey orders?"
"I dare not, but I am willing to follow your orders!"
A Purple Mansion Stage cultivator under the command of Zhengyang Palace hurriedly responded.
Then Li Qianyang and some other people also responded and expressed their support.
"The junior will also follow the instructions of the senior."
Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and he quickly followed suit.
He is now considered a benchmark. No one dared to object to him. Even though some monks were reluctant in their hearts, they still followed suit and agreed.
Finally, everyone complied with the order.
Seeing that everyone had agreed to the order, the three Zhengyang Palace Jindan-stage cultivators looked much better. Then the one who had spoken nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, there is no time to lose, and you can take action as soon as you return!"
Not long after, many soldiers of the Tianling Legion, who had just finished a battle and had not rested for long, had to leave the camp again and head to the next battlefield.
Before leaving, Zhou Chun found Zhou Zhengyong and gave him the spirit beast bag containing the golden-winged tiger for safekeeping, so that he could use it to escape when encountering danger.
As for Xu Fu, he was an outsider after all, so Zhou Chun was showing him mercy by simply giving him a third-grade low-grade defensive talisman.
"Since the demon cultivators inside the Corpse Demon Sect's mountain gate have taken the initiative to break out, this war can be considered over. All we have to do next is to kill these demon cultivators who have broken out, and the cultivators from various families who were forcibly conscripted can return home."
On the way, Zhou Chun combined various known information and made some deductions and guesses about the direction of the battle.
Then his mood became complicated, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The end of the war is undoubtedly a good thing for the vast majority of monks, as it means they can finally go home and have a good rest.
But for him, I really don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
With mixed feelings, Zhou Chun quickly devoted himself to the task of hunting down and killing the demon cultivators who had broken through.
Compared with others, Zhou Chun has a significant advantage in this regard.
He released Mu Mei to help him find the traces of the demon cultivators, and then attacked and killed those exposed demon cultivators.
Even if your magic power is exhausted, you can find a place to meditate and recover.
After wandering outside for seven or eight days and killing more than a hundred demon cultivators, Zhou Chun found that there was no gain, so he took the initiative to return to Wei Yong's base.
Just as Zhou Chun returned to the base and was about to meet Wei Yong to hand over the secret book he had obtained from Yin Shaotian, he suddenly heard the news of the death of True Man Qingxiao.
"Master Qing Xiao has fallen!"
Zhou Chun muttered to himself in shock, and then a feeling of ecstasy rose from the bottom of his heart.
If he had not retained some rationality and controlled himself, he would have laughed out loud with joy on his face.
I found myself becoming a weakling in the competition. Every time I reach the end of a major plot, I always fail. I have an outline, but I just can't write it! I am so annoyed! I will go back to sort out the gains from the war and quickly form the elixir, hey!
