When Chong Yangzi saw the three people gathered, he spoke softly.
"This place is too far away from your sect. If you rely on your own flight, I don't know how long it will take to return to the sect.
So I will take you to the Blood Lantern Sect. Once there, you can leave on your own. I will handle some things in the Blood Lantern Sect.
Remember, none of you can tell anyone the details of what happened this time.
Otherwise, not only will some sects hunt you down, but Chunyang Hall will also severely punish the three of you, and even your sect!
However, you don't have to worry about hiding these things. We will explain them in the ultimatum jade slip later, and your sect will naturally know the reason. Be sure to remember these.
I will show you three the contents of the ultimatum jade slip in a moment so that you can understand it clearly!"
Chong Yangzi stared at the three people with sharp eyes.
Li Yan and the other two had their own thoughts racing, and they all said "yes" in unison.
Li Yan was thinking in his heart.
“This Chong Yangzi is going to the Blood Lantern Sect, probably to deal with the follow-up matters this time, but he is also taking care of us at the same time.
If the three of us were to teleport back to the Blood Lantern Sect directly, we would probably be detained and questioned as soon as we were teleported, which would inevitably cause a lot of trouble..."
Chong Yangzi then took out a jade slip and asked the three of them to check it one by one. Then he asked Dong Lin Tingyue and Jia Fugui to go on the teleportation array and wait first, while he took Li Yan to a corner.
After the two men stood still, Chong Yangzi looked at Li Yan who had a suspicious look on his face. This was the first time they met again in the past few days.
"Li Yan, I am here to ask you on behalf of the sect, do you want to stay in Chunyang Hall? If you are willing, then you can stay this time. I will inform Pojunmen of your situation.
Or you can go back to Pojun Gate first, pack up your things, and then come back here.
If I am not mistaken, you should be from the lower realm, and your combat power is very strong. Chunyang Hall really needs cultivators like you, and you will definitely be a great help to the sect in the future.
If you are willing to stay, you don't have to worry about cultivation resources. Even the elders of the Blood Lantern Sect who are at the level of God Transformation don't have as many resources as you do. What do you think?"
Chong Yangzi stared at Li Yan and spoke slowly.
They have already checked Li Yan's background, and the Supreme Elder has also personally questioned Li Yan, although he did not search Li Yan's soul or use any spells such as bewitching magic.
However, the supreme elder also used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate Li Yan. After checking, he found that Li Yan should be a peak powerhouse in the late Nascent Soul stage.
It’s just that no one knows what kind of secret technique the other party has practiced. Even Chong Yangzi, who is in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, couldn’t tell.
Moreover, the supreme elder could sense that Li Yan's aura was surging, and it was almost as powerful as that of a person in the early stage of transformation.
Therefore, he instantly understood that the doubts in what Chong Yangzi said could be explained. This was almost equivalent to a Jindan cultivator sneaking attack on another Jindan cultivator. It would be strange if the chance of success was small.
As long as the target is caught by surprise and the purpose is just to knock the enemy off the flying boat, the chances of success are quite high.
Since Li Yan's strength was there, and Chong Yangzi acted as his guarantor, this was one of the reasons why Li Yan and his companions were able to return so quickly and smoothly.
When Li Yan saw Chong Yangzi calling him aside, he actually said these words.
He was not too surprised when the other party found out that he was from the lower realm. If Chunyang Hall wanted to find out the details of one of its Yuanying-level subordinates, it probably had the ability to do so.
It was just that Chunyang Hall wanted him to join, and Li Yan fell silent for a moment.
Chong Yangzi was also surprised that Li Yan did not agree immediately. In fact, he had thought that Li Yan would refuse.
But for a cultivator from a fourth-rate sect, being allowed to directly enter a second-rate sect is a good thing that many cultivators would never dream of.
Logically speaking, after hearing this, Li Yan should have been surprised at first, and then agreed in surprise.
After more than ten breaths, Li Yan finally answered.
“This is very good news, but Pojunmen saved my life. Now that this situation has occurred, I don’t want to leave Pojunmen at this time.
The reason is very simple. To put it bluntly, the entire Chunyang Hall may be in turmoil in the near future.
I just hope that if a major war breaks out, the higher-ups can give Pojunmen a little bit of care.
Now I can only thank you for your kindness. If I come to bother you again someday, I hope you won’t refuse me.”
After hearing this, Chong Yangzi sighed in his heart.
He was a little surprised by Li Yan's refusal, but after hearing his reasons, he valued Li Yan even more.
What Li Yan said was right. Now Chunyang Hall and its affiliated sects have begun to be in turmoil, and it may become even more severe in the future.
On the day he returned, as soon as the matter was explained, the sect immediately sent two supreme elders in the Refinement Realm, each with six Spirit Transformation cultivators and twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, divided into two teams and went to Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa.
Now, those two sects and all their subordinate sects have been completely controlled, but according to the news that has been sent back, only a part of the cultivators are left in Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa, and the rest have disappeared long ago.
It turned out that the two sects had already made preparations for evacuation in case of an emergency when the female cultivator surnamed Yuan and her companions were away.
But this was originally just a preparation. After the natal tablets of the old woman surnamed He and the female cultivator surnamed Yuan were shattered respectively, the two sects' Divine Transformation cultivators immediately began to contact each other.
However, because the natal card left by the "Bi Luo Demon Vine" was intact, they were still confused and didn't know whether the ambush was successful.
They even suspected that there was a problem with the sneak attack, and in the end only the "Bi Luo Demon Vine" survived, but the other party also knew the purpose of this mission, so they could still continue the mission.
But it is also possible that the "Bi Luo Demon Vine" fell into the hands of Chun Yang Tang alive, so the two sects spent more than a day in hesitation.
Finally, the two sects' Divine Transformation cultivators did not dare to gamble anymore, and teleported away with their direct descendants.
However, as they were a third-rate sect with great wealth and power, it was impossible for them to take everything away. Moreover, many disciples in the two sects were from immortal cultivation families, so they also gave up a lot.
In the end, Chun Tangyang came to nothing, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Chong Yangzi had already thought of this when he figured things out on the flying boat.
At that time, even if he had the ring to control the flying boat, he would immediately turn around and fly back at full speed, and it would still take seven or eight days, and basically all the enemies who should escape would have run away.
It would be better to check the "big fruitless" tree first, as he was afraid that something unexpected might happen there...
After this result, Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa escaped, but their subordinate sects almost suffered a devastating disaster.
Because Chong Yangzi said that when the Blood Lamp Sect and the Seven Tigers Alliance were besieged, all the subordinate monks of these two sects also took action.
Although everyone knew it, how could these subordinate sects not obey the orders of the female cultivator named Yuan and the old woman named He.
But precisely because the real leader had escaped, Chunyang Hall was naturally filled with anger, and regarded all these small sects as being implicated, and would not show any courtesy when taking action.
In the outside world today, Chunyang Hall has dispatched more Lianxu cultivators and disciples to capture the disciples who went out of Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa, as well as all the related cultivators.
Although Chunyang Hall seems to be desperate, it is indeed clearing out the remnants within its sphere of influence to avoid leaving any hidden thorns.
After hearing what Li Yan said, Chong Yangzi could only give up. There was another meaning in Li Yan's words, and Chong Yangzi also figured it out.
That is, if Li Yan joins Chunyang Hall now, just as he worries, Chunyang Hall is likely to go to war with Lianxin Valley.
Although Chunyang Hall, as the main owner, will ask for cooperation from subordinate sects, the main combat force to deal with a behemoth like Lianxin Valley must be the cultivators of its own sect.
The subordinate sects are not fools. They can send monks to take action, but if they are asked to be the vanguard of the attack, they will be acting as pawns. They will definitely be dissatisfied and unwilling to contribute.
Therefore, Chunyang Hall will definitely take the lead, bear most of the pressure, and shoulder the main responsibility for the battle.
As the stabilizing force, the Lianxu cultivator must be attacked, but he will only take action at the critical moment.
In daily battles with enemies, the main combat forces of second-rate sects are only the God Transformation and Nascent Soul, and the Golden Core are just a group of pawns.
In this situation, after Li Yan joined Chunyang Hall, he ended up having little time to practice and had to go on missions everywhere. Of course, it was better for him to stay in Pojun Gate.
In fact, Li Yan had other ideas of his own. The refining cultivators of Chunyang Hall were too terrifying. After being questioned once by the supreme elder, he felt that the other party had seen through many of his secrets.
Of course he couldn't stay here any longer, but he didn't make any final decisions when answering Chong Yangzi. If he succeeded in becoming a spirit in the future and was not ready to cross the realm, he still wanted to rely on the power of Chunyang Hall.
Judging from my current experience of advancement every time, even the Void Refining cultivator at that time might not be able to see through it.
"Okay, if you want to come to Chunyang Hall in the future, you can just come and find me.
By the way, I'll give you this thing as well. In view of your contribution this time, I applied to the sect and got this reward."
After Chong Yangzi said this, he immediately changed the subject.
At the same time, he flipped his hand and a fruit with a green glow appeared in his hand. It was a "big fruitless fruit". Li Yan was stunned when he heard what the other party said.
When he saw clearly what was in Chong Yangzi's hand, even with Li Yan's calmness, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would give him another "Big Fruitless".
"Senior, you are..."
Although the other party had just explained it very clearly, Li Yan was a little hesitant for a moment because of what a treasure "Da Wuguo" was.
Don’t think that this item is only useful to those below the Void Refinement Realm, but even a Void Refinement Realm cultivator cannot easily take out such a treasure.
"Alright, we have already wasted quite some time. We need to set off immediately. I still have many things to deal with!"
An impatient look appeared on Chong Yangzi's face, and he threw the "Big Fruitless" over.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior! If I can make a breakthrough in the future, it will all be thanks to you, Senior!"
Li Yan was involved in the "Big Fruitless" incident. He did not expect that the seemingly cold Chong Yangzi actually had such a personality.
The "Big Fruitless" that Dong Shuang Tingyue and the others had obtained before was an unexpected gain in this robbery battle, but the other party had clearly allowed the three of them to keep it for themselves.
But before leaving, Chong Yangzi actually asked for one more "Big Wuguo" for himself. This time, all four "Big Wuguo" were used up.
At the beginning, Li Yan was thinking about killing this man. However, the other party's behavior made Li Yan, who always regarded himself as a real villain, feel mixed emotions for a moment, and he even felt sorry for the first time.
This cannot be blamed on him. He has too many secrets. In order to save his own life, usually the first thing he thinks of is killing anyone who falls into his hands.
Chong Yangzi didn't think so at the moment. Dong Lin Tingyue and Jia Fugui were indeed involved in this accident.
But according to what the two men said, they and some other monks did hold back some enemies, but the most critical turning point here was all because of Li Yan.
Although, it was later found out that Li Yan was a cultivator who ascended from the lower world and was indeed extremely powerful, which explained the reason for the death of He Hong and the others.
But there are still some parts in his words that seem a little unclear, but it is a fact that Chong Yangzi is alive.
Chong Yangzi didn't want to find out the whole story. The fact that Li Yan had such incredible fighting power already showed that he had a secret.
After getting to know Li Yan a lot, he naturally valued Li Yan's fighting ability, so he did not hesitate to use his connections and begged the Grand Elder, and only then did he get another "Big Fruitless"!
The world of immortal cultivation is full of murderous intentions and is cold and ruthless, but there are also people like Chong Yangzi who are grateful and repay their kindness.
The Tao is ruthless. Everyone has a different Tao heart, some are bloodthirsty, some are sword-hearted, some are benevolent, and some are lewd...
The monks are used to seeing life and death, but there are always some people who still keep a candle in their hearts, remove the darkness, and see the fairyland in their hearts.
Li Yan himself is a person who is both good and evil. He cannot be said to be bad, but he is definitely not good either. He is suspicious and never thinks of being a gentleman.
"He is a true immortal cultivator! This is how immortals should be..."
Li Yan thought in his heart.
… …
When Li Yan's "eight people" flew thousands of miles away from the Blood Lamp Sect, these people began to separate and then disappear.
When they were finally 50,000 miles away from the Blood Lamp Sect, the last few remaining people stopped in an empty space.
As they stopped, three figures quickly solidified. They were Li Yan, Dong Lin Tingyue, and Jia Fugui. The rest of the people who flew away together had disappeared.
Before, they were teleported to the Blood Lamp Sect together with Chong Yangzi, and there were five other figures teleported with them.
Moreover, after the Blood Lamp Sect's teleportation array appeared, among all the people, only Chong Yangzi revealed his true face.
As for the rest of the people, he used magic to conceal their auras so that others could not see their faces and cultivation levels.
As soon as Chong Yangzi showed up, he gave orders directly to the two monks guarding the formation, asking them to take these people away from the Blood Lamp Sect immediately.
The two Blood Lamp Sect monks also knew Chong Yangzi, and the magic array they teleported over was exactly the special magic array leading to Chunyang Hall.
They were just a little curious about the eight shadowy figures in the formation. They thought these people were being mysterious, but they didn't dare to ask any questions.
They didn't even dare to inform the people first before letting them leave. Immediately, someone took the sect token and led these people out of the sect.
Chong Yangzi just stood there until Li Yan and the others disappeared, then he turned around and looked at the elders from the Blood Lantern Sect who had rushed over...
Li Yan and the other two looked around and confirmed again that no one was following them, then they breathed a sigh of relief.
The other figures that came out with them were actually illusions created by Chong Yangzi's magic. After leaving the Blood Lantern Sect, they disappeared one after another along the way.
Chong Yangzi explained this to the three of them before they were teleported, saying that this was the Chunyang Hall's way of protecting Li Yan and the others in accordance with the ultimatum jade slip.
The news they released to the public was that a number of Divine Transformation cultivators were ambushed in this robbery battle, while some cultivators from the Blood Lamp Sect and the Seven Tigers Alliance survived.
Who are they specifically? How many Yuanying and Huashen are there? The jade slip will not tell you.
Of course, the number of survivors cannot be too large, otherwise Lianxin Valley would not believe that after their painstaking ambush, when their entire army was wiped out, how could the other side still have so many people alive
Once the ultimatum jade slip was sent to the subordinate sects, Lianxin Valley was anxious and of course eager to know what had happened this time.
They couldn't get Chongyangzi, but they would think of the other surviving monks from the lower sect. After secretly capturing one or two of them, they would know the general situation of the incident.
However, due to the large number of people who survived from Chunyang Hall, it would take time for Lianxin Valley to verify them one by one.
It is very likely that Lianxin Valley will want to find Chen Xingshan and his group of Jindan cultivators first, and then those Yuanying cultivators, because the surviving Yuanying cultivators will most likely have their memories modified.
Chunyang Hall will also take the opportunity to set up an ambush and wait for someone to come and inquire.
When Lianxin Valley finally realized that this was a trap and Chong Yangzi was the only Divine Transformation cultivator left, a lot of time must have been wasted.
And it would take an even longer time to verify so many Nascent Soul cultivators one by one.
If Lianxin Valley thought about the ambush by Chunyang Hall in the early stage, they would have many concerns. It is not certain whether they will continue to look for Li Yan and others in the end.
When they really find out about Li Yan and the other two, firstly, Lianxin Valley will become less confident;
Secondly, this incident may have happened a long time ago, and most of the information is no longer of any use due to timeliness.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be concealed in the end, but what Chunyangtang wants is a time difference and the timeliness of the news.
Li Yan and the other two were very impressed with Chunyang Hall's approach, as they were worthy of being a powerful sect in charge.
Once they reacted, all the plans were linked together and almost flawless.
In the air, Jia Fugui clasped his fists towards Li Yan and the others.
"This time, Fellow Daoist Li saved my life, so I won't say any more nonsense. In the future, if you need my help, please let me know.
I hope that Fellow Daoist Li can come to my Abacus Sect when he is free. If you have any magic weapon or elixir you like, just let me know and I will give it to you.
If you have any needs at this time, you can just let me know. Magical weapons, elixirs, raw materials, etc., I will do my best to prepare them after I return. How do you think?"
The direction of the Abacus Gate is opposite to the sect of Li Yan and the others, so now that they have arrived here, they are out of the sight of the "Blood Lamp Sect" and Jia Fugui is about to leave alone.
He was also grateful to Li Yan, but more importantly, after seeing Li Yan's terrifyingly powerful methods that were beyond his reach, he wanted to make friends with him.
After hearing this, Li Yan wanted to wave his hand and leave.
He gained a lot of benefits from this trip, but at the same time, he also exposed a lot of his cards.
It’s better not to let such things happen in the future.
But suddenly something occurred to him and he spoke.
"Since Brother Jia Dao said so, I do have something I would like to ask Brother Jia Dao for help.
Your sect is also a business community, so you are well-informed and must have come into contact with many people in the same industry. But I wonder if you have heard of the business name 'Guiqulaixie'
If you know, please let me know. I don't need any other benefits."
Li Yan didn't beat around the bush.
After Jia Fugui asked him to ask for the magic weapons and elixirs he needed, Li Yan immediately thought of another possibility.
He did not transmit this sentence aloud, so Dong Lin Tingyue on the side could also hear it clearly.
