Chapter 1214

The distribution of medicines in India was done fairly despite the large number of people involved.

Zhou You was not from the Southeast Zhou, but he was allocated a batch of medicinal materials according to his 'Strong Martial' realm.

Glancing over, Zhou Fu'an skillfully stuffed the medicine into his bag, which was only slightly bulging, which puzzled me.

"Oh, you're looking at this?"

Zhou Fu'an pointed to the bag and exclaimed, "This is a storage bag passed down from my ancestors. It is a secret treasure of the Golden Immortal Path with seal script. This item can hold the contents of a house."

“The tyrant is tyrannical and persecutes the Golden Immortal Path with the ‘Forbidden Word Order’. Those treasures made of seal script are damaged and no one rests.”

"My bag can only hold two or three times its original volume now, it's no good!"

"Hmm, I've heard that the Northern Lands have received many of Xiaoyaozi's relics. If we're lucky, we might be able to get a perfectly intact storage bag."

Zhou You nodded seriously, "Yes, I think Brother Fu'an has amazing luck and will surely get what he wants."

Then he frowned and said, "It shouldn't be like this. The Golden Immortal Path was destroyed so easily. It seems suspicious no matter how you look at it."

"I've heard that so-and-so..."

He deliberately created an air of mystery, using a conversation starter to elicit more information from Zhou Fu'an.

Zhou Fu'an did indeed take the bait. "That's right, the Golden Immortal Dao and He Qi; impressive. After Chongyang Gong died, another Golden Immortal Dao Master appeared. Many people know him, but apart from the Golden Immortal Dao, no one has ever seen him."

"This person is extremely capable. The spies sent by the Heavenly Sacrifice Palace and other aristocratic families have no chance of hiding in his eyes."

"After he appeared, the Jinxiandao organization, which had been in disarray, was completely disbanded and replaced by a unified entity, Jinxiandao."

"Unfortunately, the Golden Immortal Path learned its lesson and became even more secretive, severing its ties with the aristocratic families, making it impossible to find its traces."

Zhou You pondered the title "Golden Immortal Dao Master," and a jolt of excitement shot through him. His intuition told him it must be someone he knew. It seemed he would have to meet this elusive Golden Immortal Dao Master someday.
Under the leadership of Yin Sanfen, Zhou's reinforcements marched out of several southeastern prefectures and headed north.

On the way, Zhou You asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay to travel across other prefectures like this?"

After all, the Imperial Palace still controlled most of the land, and local governors and prefectures remained subservient.
The Zhou family in the southeast were rebellious separatists. They were fine in their own territory, but once they swaggered out, they would definitely be discovered. Such a large group of people could not possibly hide their tracks.

"It's alright, we'll take the military route, which is one of the great artifacts left behind by the Great Thousand Ancestor!"

Zhou You was completely bewildered. What did I leave behind? Military strategy? He'd never even heard of it.

When Zhou You saw the "Way of War," he couldn't help but laugh. So this was the "Way of War."

The seemingly endless, winding crowd moved slowly forward, traversing the plains and undulating terrain, their goal clear: the other side of the mountain beneath their feet.

Walking the military path actually means crossing the mountain, and this mountain is neither an ordinary barren mountain nor a famous mountain in the world.

This mountain is called... Tianzhu Mountain.

Zhou You once refined it into a space, but after advancing to the Earth Sect, he abandoned it and gradually stopped using it.

Unexpectedly, his son Zhou Ding actually used it as a troop transport route to the north.

By using the Tianzhu Mountain space to connect the southeast and north, and avoiding interference from other prefectures, reinforcements can be quickly transported.

What a brilliant idea!

"That's right, it must be Zhou Pan's doing!"

Zhou You remembered that back then, Zhou Pan had become an apprentice of "Bitter Soup" and spent a long time in the Tianzhu Mountain space. His understanding of this item was second only to Zhou You's own.

It was definitely Zhou Pan who unearthed Tianzhu Mountain and gave it to Zhou Ding for use. But...

Tianzhu Mountain has only one entrance and exit, and it is fixed in place and cannot be moved, which greatly restricts its access.

The military path before them burst forth from the void, connecting several southeastern states on one end and the northern lands on the other, with space serving as the bridge.

This is completely different from Zhou You's original idea. After a radical transformation, only the Golden Immortal Path could achieve this.

Moreover, it's not just any ordinary Golden Immortal; it requires sleeping with only a handful of top-tier experts.

Chongyang Gong, Jin Lao, Banzhang Yuhuo, and... Xiaoyaozi, etc.

However, these people have long since passed away, so the one who transformed Tianzhu Mountain into a military stronghold was someone else.

Suddenly, a name popped into Zhou You's mind: "Golden Immortal Dao Master." It must be him who helped Zhou Ding transform Tianzhu Mountain into a military dao.

Thinking about this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile; it was getting more and more interesting.

His sons have quite a few secrets! Who are they keeping up with behind their father's back?
“Brother Youqing, remember this well: when you arrive in the North, be extremely cautious.”

“The methods of sorcerers are unpredictable. Unlike other places, they use incantations, insects, and poisons. Even an inconspicuous speck of dust in the air can be a deadly hidden weapon.”

"Many of our clansmen have been ambushed by similar methods, their skills wasted."

"Also, once you get to the North, you must never come into contact with the Daqian Martial Arts School. If you see those four words, stay as far away from them as possible!"

Zhou You feigned curiosity and asked, "That's a martial arts school named after the patriarch. I heard that one of his disciples is in charge of the business. Why can't we get close to him?"

"Alas, you probably don't know, the witches have wicked intentions."

“Our Great Thousand Ancestor killed countless witches in his early years, especially the Holy King, with whom he had a blood feud.”

"Those sorcerers dream of slaughtering us, the descendants of our ancestors. How could they possibly tolerate the martial arts school where our ancestors started going unscathed!"

"Although the master's surname is Qi, he is not one of those scoundrels. He is extremely loyal and filial to the ancestor."

"The shaman has been trying to pressure us for years, trying to send him to the Daqian Martial Arts School to learn boxing, but he has refused by threatening to kill himself."

Zhou You frowned and said, "If the shaman wants to join the martial arts school, let him be!"

Anyway, I won't learn anything of real value. Those witches want to pay tuition, so I might as well accept it.

Zhou Fu'an said fiercely, "This is a conspiracy. Master Qi is the only disciple of the Great Thousand Ancestor and represents the orthodoxy. If the martial arts school recruits witches, wouldn't that make those savages the disciples and grand-disciples of the Ancestor and tarnish the reputation of the Great Thousand Ancestor?"

"Bah! They're just delusional. None of us Zhou clan members have ever had the honor of becoming the ancestor's grand-disciple!"

I understand now. It was all for his posthumous reputation. Qi Qingdi has worked so hard.

"The witch is treacherous and cunning. She deliberately left the Daqian Martial Arts School and Master Qi as bait to lure those who resist into her trap."

"Therefore, for Master Qi's sake, we must not have any contact with him, and he will not take the initiative to contact us."

"If anyone uses the name of Daqian Martial Arts School or claims to be sent by Master Qi, there's no need to ask any more questions; they are definitely spies. Just kill them and be done with it."

Zhou You nodded seriously, "Kill them, kill them all without hesitation!"

As they talked, the two followed the large group over the mountain. They had already traversed more than half of the military route. Looking down at the foot of the mountain, the northern scenery was faintly visible, and their destination was near.
