Jiuxiao

The group of people returned to their residences, but Zhou Yin and Yun Zong were invited by Qingying to her room.

"I missed the first half of the episode just now, what's going on?"

Yun Zong briefly explained the matter.

Qingying recalled what Zhou Yin said to them later, and couldn't help laughing: "You guys are really hurt, but it's very gratifying!"

Yun Zong sneered slightly: "They just want to make a big fuss and make Shang Xuanzong lose face in front of the sects of the world, so as to elevate themselves and kill chickens and monkeys, but they are too ambitious and pick the wrong target. If they change to Qinggumen or Wanshanmen, Maybe I can really swallow this breath."

Qingying said: "Song Yi'an originally said that their suzerain wanted to see me, but after they left, only one elder was there. At that moment, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what they wanted until I saw your water dragons. Waiting for action," she sighed lightly, "Forge ahead, this is the advantage of Tianyanzong. I used to think that Shangxuanzong was too calm, which was a bit dull, but now it seems that it is better to be calm than to be so arrogant and impatient. Some good!"

Zhou Yin's wrist felt hot, and he got up and walked out.

The two were inexplicable: "Where are you going?"

Zhou Yintou did not reply: "Receive the letter."

After leaving the residence, they took up the Lingyin sword and headed south. Now that they all have the tokens given by Tianyanzong, they can freely come and go.Next to Tianyanzong, there is a small town that is as prosperous as the county seat. This is where Tianyanzong's daily supplies are located, and it is also sheltered under Tianyanzong. On the outskirts of the town to the west, there is a mass grave. Usually few people come.

The bracelet that Zhou Chen gave him before became hotter and hotter, and the wrist around it was hot.

The reason why the piece of water hyacinth bamboo thrown by Tian Yanzong Xiao Chengjun didn't hurt Zhou Yin in the fight between the two sides just now was because the bracelet was working. Now it has been used once, and there are two left.

He also already knew that this bracelet not only can block his attacks, but also let Zhou Chen know his position, so every time Zhou Chen sends a letter, he can also know it immediately.

On the mass graves, the tombs are everywhere, with stray branches, dead vines, old trees and crows, no one dares to come even in broad daylight.

Zhou Yin walked through the tombstones of different sizes, and saw a white crane standing on the tombstone, tilting its head and looking at him, blinking its small eyes.

Seeing him approaching, the white crane flapped its wings twice and opened its mouth, but it didn't spit out the letter like last time, but...

"Dear-kiss-little-yin-yin-quack!"

"One day is like three autumns, I miss you so much that my heart aches!""

The white crane spits out human words, quack quack quack, like a duck.

Zhou Yin: "..."

Bai He: "Don't show such an expression, it is me, I am it, don't you think of my handsome and unparalleled face when you saw it, quack quack!"

Zhou Yin: "..."

Bai He: "I hate it, don't stare at people like this, they will be shy! Hurry up and build a barrier, I want to tell you a big secret!"

Zhou Yin really didn't want to have a conversation with this thing, but it might contain extremely important information, so he had to be patient and build an enchantment.

Bai He twisted his buttocks: "You shrink back first, do you miss me?"

Zhou Yin was silent for a moment: "The hair on your body should be plucked too."

"Quack, murdered my husband! Oh no, this little thing is only temporarily endowed with half of my consciousness, you can pull it out if you like, lady!" Even so, Baihe's small eyes still showed fear, and he jumped a few times. Step, this is Bai He's instinctive reaction, and Zhou Chen can't control it anymore.

Zhou Yin's Canghe sword was already in his hand, and he smiled softly: "Get to the point."

"I'm so scared that my heart is jumping!" Bai He shrank his head: "The point is, the matter you asked in the letter is indeed inextricably linked with the Tianyan Sect."

Zhou Yin asked: "What connection?"

Bai He shrugged his shoulders, and this time he said bluntly, "I don't know!"

Zhou Yin: "..."

Seeing him lift the sword again, Bai He said: "The reason why I have been away from you for so long is actually doing a big thing."

Zhou Chen was used to talking nonsense in front of him, Zhou Yin didn't take it seriously, and just listened, but Bai He continued: "We caught a person from the upper realm."

Only now did Zhou Yin get serious, and he was quite surprised.

"What's the status?"

"It's not too low." Bai He said, "Let's start from the beginning. There are two types of immortals in the upper realm. One is the born immortals, and the other is the acquired immortals, that is, those of you who cultivated."

Zhou Yin nodded: "I know that."

Bai He said: "Although the mainland is divided into fragments and separate governments, the situation in the upper realm is more complicated. Those who come first look down on those who come later, so those born immortals naturally don't pay attention to the monks who ascended later, thinking that they are occupying Only by taking advantage of the cheap can you get promoted, let’s call them the innate faction and the backward faction. There was a time when the upper realm was dominated by the innate faction, and they did everything they could to suppress the backward faction. The mainland at that time was not like it is now This is getting exhausted day by day, and there are still a few people who can ascend, but the Xiantian faction is very strict. In order to prevent some powerful individuals from ascending, they will not be controlled after ascension, and they will be used by the backward faction. Hands and feet, making the opponent fail to cross the tribulation..."

"and many more!"

Zhou Yin's heart sank, and a thought flashed through his mind. Bai He was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by him.

Bai He tilted his head to look at him, his small eyes were full of concern. "Gah, why is it swollen?"

For him, in his previous life, he had no other distractions and practiced hard, just for the sake of being able to ascend to the upper realm one day.Although the second life is a human being, his thinking has changed a lot. Cultivation is not only for cultivation, but also many things that he had ignored before. , Undoubtedly, it has become a knot in his heart that is difficult to untie. He has always known that if he can reach the state of the late stage of transformation again in the future, then the hurdle left by the previous life is likely to expand into a demon, which is difficult to overcome.

However, what Zhou Chen said now caused a storm in his heart.

Could it be that his fall back then was not due to his own shortcomings, but because of another hidden reason?

Rao Zhou Yin's face remained unchanged, but his eyes still revealed some emotions.

"How do you know about this?"

Bai He said: "The person I captured said that, are you alright?"

Zhou Yin said: "No, you can continue talking."

After all, this white crane was only Zhou Chen's wisp of consciousness, and he couldn't detect his emotions as accurately as before, so he continued after hearing the words: "But later, in the long-term intrigue, the backward faction gradually became stronger. The Xiantian faction contended, but the Xiantian faction could no longer take the risk of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred to completely eradicate it. The two factions were at a stalemate, and they took opposing positions on many things. However, not Everyone in the Upper Realm is willing to stand in line and support one side with a clear-cut banner, so a centrist has been born from this."

Zhou Yin said: "What is a centrist?"

Bai He said: "The composition of the middle faction is relatively complicated. Among the two factions, those who are expelled as sinners, there are also those who marry the innate faction and the backward faction but are not accepted by the two factions, and there are those who are unwilling to be inferior and are ambitious. "

Zhou Yin raised his eyebrows: "Three legs?"

Bai He said: "Not to mention, the Xiantian faction and the backward faction are powerful, and the middle faction is trying to survive in the cracks. But no matter how they stand on their own, as people from the upper realm, their attitude towards the Taichu Continent is almost the same. .”

Zhou Yin hummed, did not interrupt again, and quietly listened to it continue.

As a human race, no matter how high their status is, it is impossible to understand these secrets of the upper realm.

"Aura comes from all over the world, and it can also come from various spirit stones. Chaos divides the world, and everything in the world lives in the same world. There are countless resources. Just like aura, chaos can only be created after tens of thousands of years. Nuwa Fuxi and other ancient gods were raised, but now the sum of the countless creatures in the sky and the earth consumes more than tens of millions of times more spiritual power than the ancient ones, and unless they return to chaos again, they cannot be regenerated."

Bai He groaned, with sarcasm in his words: "As the upper realm, although there is an enchantment separating them from the Taichu Continent, making them a superior existence, they also need spiritual power to support them. Without spiritual power, immortals can't be immortals anymore. , and have to hang out with a foreign race that they regard as ants, noble as a fairy, how could it be possible?"

"So, they figured out a way."

Zhou Yin was silent for a moment, "Kill all the aliens?"

Bai He shook his head: "No, except for monks, other people don't know how to practice, and it's impossible to waste spiritual power. The monster clan is hiding well now, and the only ones left by the monster clan are all old monsters with great abilities. , they may not be able to move, and the demons are in another world."

"So, from beginning to end, they only have to deal with monks."

There was silence.

Bai He said again: "Do you know how many monks there are on the mainland now?"

Zhou Yin said nothing.

Bai He said: "Large sects like Shangxuanzong and Tianyanzong must have at least a few thousand people, plus other sects of casual cultivators, the total number is no less than [-]. This number is naturally nothing compared to the population of the entire continent. , but for the creatures that grab spiritual energy, it accounts for a very large proportion. If there are no monks..."

Zhou Yin continued: "There will no longer be anyone competing with the upper realm for spiritual power resources, and the monks themselves are the closest existence to the gods on the mainland. Their pursuit of power is better than worshiping the gods. Will be happy to see such an existence, and would rather face a group of ordinary people who will only worship them."

Bai He said: "Yes, if there is no monk and you have seen the boundless magic power of gods, not to mention ordinary people, even the royal families of various countries will raise the gods to a new height. From now on, what they worship, There are only high gods, and there will no longer be monks who can be seen close at hand."

Zhou Yin, rare, sighed lightly.

This game has been laid at least since a long time ago, and even his death in the previous life is one of the moves in this game.The side playing chess is the upper realm immortal clan who occupies an absolute dominant position in the Three Realms, and the other side, even if they pull all the monks in, will have a slim chance of winning.

What's more, there are still variables in the monk camp.

For the first time, he felt that he could not see the future of something clearly, and there was a fog ahead.

"A Yin, don't worry, I will help you." Bai He said softly, as if he wanted to touch him, but found that there were very few movements he could do, so he had to stretch his head over.

Zhou Yin said: "Although they put everything on the monster race and caused conflicts between the monster race and the human race, the biggest purpose is still the monks. As long as you don't come forward, nothing will happen. There is no need to wade into this muddy water."

Bai He said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. The matter is far from that simple. I'm afraid that if they clean up the monks, the next target may be us. I'm not alone. The elders in the clan will obey. There is one more thing, the things you asked me to check are not easy to check, although I know they are related to Tian Yanzong, but I can't find the connection between them and the upper realm."

Zhou Yin hummed: "Don't check on your side, I'll let Yun Zong and the others check it out here."

After finishing speaking, he paused, "Just now you said that the upper world is divided into three factions, and all three factions support this plan?"

Bai He's voice seemed to be filled with a smile: "As expected of my family, A Yin, I asked the key points as soon as I asked. Naturally, not all of them support it. The Xiantian faction is the initiator of the plan and is also a staunch supporter. Most of the backward faction support it. Only a few people are worried that in the future, after dealing with the monks, the innate party will turn around to deal with the backward party. The majority of the middle party regards the mainland as a way out. They are a group of people who are rejected by the upper world, so naturally they will not applaud this plan. However, they are not the ones who rule the upper realm, and they can't play a big role."

So even if there were disagreements within the Upper Realm, that small group of opposing opinions would not be enough to shake the entire plan of annihilation.

Zhou Yin asked: "Where is the person you arrested?"

Bai He said: "His father is a congenital immortal, and his mother is an ascended monk, so he has been excluded by the two factions since he was born. He was imprisoned in the most desolate place in the upper world since he was a child. After his power awakened, he found an opportunity to escape. He came out and turned the desolate land into his own territory, and gathered some people around him. The Emperor of Heaven couldn't do anything to him for a while, and he didn't want to mobilize people to crusade here, so he turned a blind eye. This time he was able to capture him alive , took a lot of effort."

Zhou Yin: "You can just say that he is the leader of the centrist."

Bai He was very wronged: "How can that set off my brilliance and martial arts?"

It twisted, and looked at him with fluttering small eyes. "Then what are you going to do now?"

Zhou Yin thought for a moment: "I'll check Tianyanzong first, and I'll contact you later."

Bai He said worriedly: "You mustn't take the matter on yourself. At worst, you will go to the monster clan. We can stay together forever, love each other, never separate, and prostitute in the daytime... quack quack!"

With a brush, the white hair was shaved all over the ground, half of the wings were bald, and the white crane curled up on the edge of the stone in aggrieved manner, almost falling down. "If you don't say it, don't say it!"

Zhou Yin squeezed his forehead: "You can go."

He is not that great when he takes the monks on his shoulders, but if all the monks on the mainland are wiped out, as one of them, he can't live in hiding. This is not his style.

The white crane with only a sliver of consciousness attached to Zhou Chen was frightened by him, so he reluctantly let go, and ran away crying: "Gah, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it started in chaos and ended up abandoned, woo woo woo...!!"

Zhou Yin kept watching it disappear into the clouds before getting up and leaving.

Back to Tianyanzong, because of Qingying's presence, Zhou Yin just told the things related to Tianyanzong.

After hearing this, Qingying smiled wryly: "I'm afraid I don't have time to investigate for the time being."

Seeing that Zhou Yin seemed suspicious, Yun Zong said: "The Tianyan Sect just sent an invitation card, and tomorrow is the martial arts meeting. It will last for three days. After the end, the sect meeting will be held to discuss dealing with monsters."

Qingying couldn't hide her worry: "A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. Since we came here, we have lost the opportunity. I'm afraid they want to make up for today's matter. Wan Qingqing returned to Shangxuanzong, but there has been no news. , I am afraid that something will happen at the door."

Yun Zong said: "If something really happens, we alone won't help. If we rush back now, it's in their favor. Why don't we just have a quick fight!"

Zhou Yin also said lightly: "God blocks and kills God, wait for the opportunity to move."

Seeing how heroic they are, Qingying also cheered up, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's advance and retreat together."
