Chapter 337: Subsequent Plans, Meeting Old Friends
Emperor Qi had already figured it out long ago. Li Ruoxu and Zhou You probably knew each other, and they had already made an agreement.
Li Ruoxu probably didn't fight Zhou You at all, and he probably had some cooperation with Zhou You.
Li Ruoxu helped Zhou You conceal these things, and the two of them ran away together before the matter was exposed.
As long as the two of them ran away, as long as Emperor Qi refused to admit it, the Xiuxian Alliance would not be able to do anything to him.
There was not even a little doubt.
After all, what Emperor Qi said was reasonable.
The Xiuxian Alliance was also a reasonable place, not one of those overbearing Xiuxian countries.
If the Xiuxian Alliance was unreasonable, then they would have no prestige in the Xiuxian world, which would be fatal to the Xiuxian Alliance.
For the Xiuxian Alliance, what they valued most was prestige.
Anyway, it was no big deal to throw all the responsibility to Li Ruoxu.
Since Li Ruoxu could think of this, he must have a perfect plan. The other party must be sure to escape and make the Xiuxian Alliance unable to find him.
So Emperor Qi was very frank and had no psychological burden.
As expected, after listening to Emperor Qi's words, although Venerable Chihuo looked even uglier, he did not embarrass Emperor Qi anymore, because he knew that Emperor Qi was just the ruler of a fourth-level Xiuxian country and did not know those rules.
In addition, with Li Ruoxu's pressure, he naturally did not dare to speak carelessly.
So, Venerable Chihuo believed what Emperor Qi said.
"With the news of these two people reported to the Xiuxian Alliance in time, if we can find Zhou You, your Great Qi Kingdom will definitely be a great achievement, even if it is promoted to a sixth-level Xiuxian country."
Venerable Chihuo said lightly.
Started to paint a pie for Emperor Qi.
However, Emperor Qi was a master of making promises. As the ruler of a country, when he was in power, he was either making promises to his subordinates or on the way to making promises. How could he not know these routines?
However, Emperor Qi did not seem to be surprised. He showed a trace of joy and quickly said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will do my best."
"Yes."
Venerable Chihuo nodded, and then left Tianqi City a little depressed.
Emperor Qi looked at the back of Venerable Chihuo leaving, his eyes flickered a little.
After a moment, he sneered.
He saw it more clearly than Li Ruoxu, how could he not know the purpose of the Xiuxian Alliance's eagerness to find Zhou You.
"If Mr. Zhou really went with him, I'm afraid it would be dangerous."
Emperor Qi thought secretly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Although Emperor Qi was good at playing tricks and was also very good at dealing with people, he was not stupid enough to help the Xiuxian Alliance find Zhou You, so he was just doing superficial work, and he would not actually look for Zhou You at all.
It was good enough that he didn't help Zhou You to conceal it.
With the departure of the Red Fire Venerable, Tianqi City was still not peaceful. With the birth of the first Divine Transformation cultivator in the Huo family, the pattern of the entire Tianqi City began to change.
And all this was seen by the Emperor Qi.
But he had no intention of interfering.
The more violent the people below made, the more he was happy to see it.
As long as it didn't threaten his position.
Moreover, the Huo family could be said to be the most loyal family to the Great Qi Imperial Court. The Emperor Qi trusted the Huo family very much, so he acquiesced to the Huo family's expansion.
...
Three months later.
In a market in Yunzhou.
After three months of traveling, Zhou You finally arrived at the border of Yunzhou.
Yunzhou was the most chaotic continent in the Great Qi Kingdom. The Emperor Qi never thought of managing Yunzhou, and even the demon clan had no intention of attacking Yunzhou.
Yunzhou was in the westernmost part of the Great Qi Kingdom, and was only adjacent to the Demon Sea in the west.
There were no telling how many demon beasts and demon cultivators there were in the Demon Sea.
It is a paradise of chaos and the final destination of countless demon cultivators.
Even the Immortal Cultivation Alliance is too lazy to care about the Demon Sea.
It is said that in the depths of the Demon Sea, there are terrifying beings in the God Transformation Stage.
And Yunzhou is relatively chaotic because it borders the Demon Sea. There are all kinds of monsters and demons in it.
Zhou You came here not to enter the Demon Sea.
But to find some special secrets in Yunzhou.
This secret is mainly used to cover up Zhou You's popularity and let Zhou You get some demonic energy.
Zhou You's next plan is to enter the Ten Thousand Mountains, go to the Zhongtian Domain, and look for the "Daoxuan Sutra".
Although the chance is slim, for Zhou You, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is unwilling to give up.
"Daoxuan Sutra" is still Zhou You's primary goal of practice.
Therefore, Zhou You must get a secret method that can cover up the smell on his body.
Otherwise, entering the Ten Thousand Mountains is dangerous even if he has all the means.
And Yunzhou is the most likely place to obtain this secret technique.
…
At this moment.
Zhou You did not disguise himself, but took Xiao Zhuoran to a market town in Yunzhou that is closest to Lanzhou, called Haifang.
Haifang is located above the Lanzhou sea, half of which is in Yunzhou and half in Lanzhou.
It is somewhat similar to Hengshui Market.
But this market town is much larger than Hengshui Market.
After Zhou You came in, he clearly felt that there were many divine senses falling on him, constantly looking at him. Among them, there were two divine senses in the Nascent Soul stage, and most of the others were in the Core Formation stage.
Although Zhou You's cultivation has been controlled in the Core Formation stage, he still received a lot of attention.
Zhou You seemed to be oblivious to those divine senses and walked in the market town with Xiao Zhuoran.
As for the white pond fish, Zhou You placed it in the cave.
Now the white pond fish's sleepiness is getting worse.
Zhou You also asked Li Ruoxu about this matter, but even Li Ruoxu didn't know what the situation was, and he had never found that the white pond fish had such symptoms before.
Li Ruoxu even asked the Bai family, but still did not get any feedback.
So Zhou You could only accept it helplessly and find a chance to find out about this situation later.
Zhou You and Xiao Zhuoran found an inn to stay in. They did not plan to stay here for long, so they did not rent a cave.
After all, if you want to find such secrets, it is not enough to just go to a market.
Zhou You did not think he was so lucky that he could find such secrets right away.
Before, Zhou You asked at the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce, but even the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce did not have such secrets.
In desperation, Zhou You could only come to this place.
As Zhou You expected, he and Xiao Zhuoran stayed in this market for five days, explored all channels, and even encountered two groups of monks who killed and robbed. Of course, the final result was that the monks who killed and robbed were easily killed by Xiao Zhuoran.
But they did not get any news about the secrets.
Even the soul search did not get it.
So Zhou You chose to leave Haifang without hesitation.
In the next two years, the two of them traveled almost all over the market in Yunzhou, but still did not get any related secrets.
Even Xiao Zhuoran felt that this secret did not exist at all.
But Zhou You did not believe in evil.
Because he mastered a similar secret, which he got at the entrance of the forbidden land of the Demon Sealing Land.
At that time, he cheated a lot of magic secrets.
Among them, there is a secret called the Demon Ascension Technique.
This secret is very strange. If it is practiced by a demon cultivator, it can enhance its own strength by 10%.
But if it is not a demon cultivator, after performing this technique, it can imitate the breath of a demon cultivator, making outsiders look like a terrifying demon with raging demon flames.
In fact, if this technique is not practiced by a demon cultivator, there will be no magic means.
It is just a means to cover up the breath.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou You thinks there is also a secret technique similar to simulating demonic energy.
And the secret technique he got at the beginning was obtained from a Yunzhou cultivator.
Seeing that they had entered the depths of Yunzhou and were very close to the Demon Sea, they had not gained anything yet.
When they arrived at this place, they didn't know how many demon cultivators and other cultivators who were killing and robbing had they encountered, and they really saw what a chaotic place was.
Almost two or three waves a day could be encountered. Although Zhou You seemed calm on the surface, he was quite helpless in his heart.
Xiao Zhuoran was greatly shocked, and finally had a new understanding of this chaotic place.
This is Yunzhou, the real chaotic place.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they even let Xiao Zhuoran release his cultivation.
Xiao Zhuoran's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, but even with the cultivation of the late stage of the Nascent Soul, there were still people who wanted to do that kind of murder and robbery.
Once, a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul even blocked their way.
This made Zhou You very helpless.
Fortunately, this kind of murder and robbery situation is becoming less and less.
After all, the cultivation level that was shown before was only at the Jindan stage, and everyone wanted to do a murder and robbery.
And now, only the Yuanying Great Perfection has the courage to do this.
Of course, no matter what level of cultivation, as long as you dare to touch them, the final outcome is death.
Along the way, Xiao Zhuoran didn't know how many cultivators he killed.
But what surprised Zhou You was that he actually met an old friend in Yunzhou!
Wang Feng!
He was once the eldest disciple of Taixuan Sect and the owner of the mutant spiritual root wind root.
At the beginning, he had a close relationship with Li Ruoxu, Huo Qi, Xue Youli and Zhao Zitan, and often gathered in Xuanbaozhai. Later, Zhou You also joined in.
Zhou You had a good relationship with them and had transactions with each other. Zhou You could say that he had gained a lot of benefits from them.
Since Zhou You left Taixuan Sect Market, he had never seen Wang Feng again. Unexpectedly, he met Wang Feng in a market closest to the Demon Sea in Yunzhou.
Sixty years have passed.
Wang Feng has changed from a high-spirited young man to a middle-aged man with gray hair. Although his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Jindan, it is not good enough in this chaotic place.
Occasionally, you can see a hint of ruthlessness in Wang Feng's eyes.
If you want to survive in a chaotic place like Yunzhou, you can't survive without being ruthless.
When Zhou You saw Wang Feng, Wang Feng was setting up a stall to sell some monster materials. When he saw Zhou You, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, he said in surprise: "You, you are Brother Zhou!"
Zhou You smiled: "Brother Wang, long time no see."
Wang Feng was overjoyed, stepped over his stall, came to Zhou You, pressed Zhou You's shoulders, looked up and down at Zhou You's appearance, and said excitedly: "Brother Zhou, I, I didn't expect to see you here, it's incredible!"
Wang Feng no longer has the stability of the past.
When he saw Zhou You, he was obviously out of control.
Zhou You smiled and said, "I can't believe I can meet Senior Brother Wang here."
The two of them recognized each other, which attracted the attention of many cultivators.
Wang Feng knew that this was not the place to talk. He looked at Xiao Zhuoran and felt that Xiao Zhuoran was extraordinary and unfathomable. He was also shocked in his heart, but he didn't think much about it. After putting those things away, he said, "Junior Brother Zhou, let's go back and talk about it?"
Zhou You smiled and nodded, and then went to his cave with Wang Feng.
The cave was quite simple, but the spiritual energy was sufficient, and it looked like a third-level spiritual vein.
It was enough for Wang Feng to use himself.
It can be seen that although Wang Feng has changed a lot, he is obviously living well in this chaotic place. The price of this third-level spiritual vein in the market is not low.
After Wang Feng led Zhou You and the others into the cave, he brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Zhou You and the others.
Then he said excitedly: "Junior Brother Zhou, I didn't expect to see you here. We haven't seen each other for... 60 years, right?"
Zhou You nodded: "Yes."
Wang Feng sighed, and looked at Zhou You again, and found that Zhou You's cultivation was the same as his, also in the middle stage of Jindan, and couldn't help saying: "I knew that Junior Brother Zhou was not an ordinary person. It's only been 60 years, and he has caught up with me."
"I am no longer the same person I was back then, but Junior Brother Zhou is still as charming as ever, which is really enviable."
When they first met, Zhou You's aptitude was low, and his cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building, while Wang Feng was the first genius of Taixuan Sect, with mutant spiritual roots, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast. At that time, he had already reached the great perfection of foundation building.
And now when they meet again, their cultivation is the same.
This is really sad.
Of course.
Zhou You showed his true cultivation, otherwise Wang Feng would probably be scared to death.
Zhou You smiled and said, "I've just had some luck over the years. My qualifications are far inferior to Senior Brother Wang. If I don't have the opportunity in the future, I'm afraid I'll be left behind by Senior Brother Wang soon."
Wang Feng shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly, "Who can predict the world? I'm trying to make a living in this chaotic place, and I may not see the sun tomorrow."
After a pause, Wang Feng said, "Junior Brother Zhou, why did you come here? This is not a good place. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
Zhou You said, "I'm here to find a secret method. If I can find it, I will leave as soon as possible."
After a pause, Zhou You asked, "Senior Brother Wang, why did I only see you today? I don't know...where are Junior Sister Zhao and the others now, and how are they doing?"
Speaking of this, Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then showed helplessness on his face, with deep regret in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
