Whether it was because of fear or lack of authorization from Qingzhuo, the hall leader did not harm anyone in the Tongxin Association when he escaped.
All the imprisoned disciples were rescued, including Nie Shuangting and the Fifth Elder.
The fifth elder's surname is Zhuge, and her given name is Yu. She is a female cultivator with a second-level cultivation base.
She is a second-level alchemist. She usually stays in the mountains to refine alchemy and provides a large number of low-level elixirs to the Tongxin Association.
As for why a good second-level alchemist should stay among casual cultivators and not take up idle positions such as serving as an elder in the family, that is another story, and I won’t go into details.
Zhuge Yue had only two disciples assigned by the club, namely Dantong and Yaotong. This is unlike the other elders who all have their own teams. Even the youngest Zhang Qianfan has more than a dozen brothers. The one with the largest number was Nie Shuangting, who had about thirty people under his command.
The disbandment of the alliance and the escape of one of the hall masters meant that Maojiao Mountain had been exposed and the foundation had to be abandoned.
In addition, this time he has greatly offended the Disbanded Alliance, and he is likely to be pursued by the other party in the future.
In this case, the people who gathered together had no choice but to go their separate ways.
Zhang Qianfan and his men, Zhuge Yu and his two disciples, as well as some of the Second Elder's men, as well as Li Qing and several other former Yu Gu's subordinates, a total of twenty-four or five people, are willing to follow Lord Yang to Wushui County settle down.
This finally greatly alleviated Yang Zhen's manpower shortage problem, and it was not in vain for him to go through life and death for Zhang Qianfan.
Of the remaining thirty-odd people, less than half will leave Tongxin Society and find their own way out, and most of them are former Yu Gu's tribe. The remaining people continued to follow Nie Shuangting and wandered around.
It seems that this president has managed to win over a group of loyal subordinates.
However, according to Chen Ru's guess, President Nie probably has a foundation similar to Maojiao Mountain where he can rest and recuperate.
Finally, there is Yu Gu. He leaked Tongxinhui's location to others, and Nie Shuangting could no longer tolerate this person. In the end, together with the prisoners of the Disbanded Alliance, they were all handed over to Yang Zhen for disposal.
After these matters were dealt with, it was already the morning of the second day. Yang Zhen said goodbye to Nie Shuangting and others, took Zhang Qianfan, Zhuge Yu, Zhao Yueer Zixue and others, stuffed a bunch of prisoners into spirit beast bags, and returned to Chongzhou that day.
After returning to Wushui County, the group gathered in Yang Zhen's courtyard with great interest and began to divide the spoils.
Zixue and Zhao Yue'er changed their appearance slightly to avoid being recognized.
Liu Rou also came out of the space happily and participated in counting the stolen goods.
A total of eight foundation-building monks were captured this time. The storage bags obtained were far less than those obtained in the Liangjiabao battle, but there were a full five space rings, and the items collected inside were of higher quality.
Flying boats, elixirs, exercises, third-level magic weapons, etc. are all dizzying.
All seizures were divided into ten points, with Zixue taking seven shares, Yang Zhen, Zhao Yue'er and Zhang Qianfan each taking one share. Everyone had no objection to this.
However, after the distribution, most of Zixue's seven shares were left to Zhao Yue'er. She only took away a few high-grade spiritual stones, two third-level water system talismans and other few items.
Among the trophies she returned was a white jade hairpin. The hairpin head is a phoenix bird spreading its wings and is extremely exquisite in workmanship. Especially the bird's head is hollowed out and carved. The white phoenix holds a pearl in its mouth and looks back. Its appearance is so lifelike that it makes people marvel.
It's a pity that this Phoenix Hairpin is not of high grade. It is only a first-grade medium-grade magic weapon, which has some calming effect.
"This looks like something used by women. Who found it in the storage bag?" Yang Zhen asked casually.
Liu Rou remembered the details very clearly and replied crisply: "I found it from the ring called Qingzhuo."
"Which wealthy family did you steal this from?" Yang Zhen twisted this jade hairpin, which was more artistic than practical, looked at it for a moment, and handed it to Liu Rou:
"You have a good memory, so I'll give it to you."
Zhao Yue'er has always been wearing the phoenix lotus hairpin he gave her, so she doesn't need such a low-level magic weapon.
Liu Rou happily accepted it and immediately inserted it into her bun.
Her hair was as green as a waterfall, and her skin was smooth and white. After wearing this white jade phoenix hairpin, she was as bright as a spring flower, as bright as an autumn moon, and everyone was full of praises.
…
The next day, Zhao Yuer and Yang Zhen jointly wrote a report and submitted it to Chongyun Palace. The general idea is that the thieves of the Disunion Association invaded the Tongxin Association, and they rescued each other in a righteous manner.
Also delivered with the official document were seven prisoners of the Disbanded Alliance.
Yu Gu was controlled by Yang Zhen with a heart-eating insect and sent to the Kongming Stone Mine. At this point, the mine finally has a strong guard.
A few days later, Chongyun Palace sent someone to deliver rewards from the Sect General Affairs Hall, totaling 23,500 sect contribution points, which were received by Yang and Zhao.
Yang Zhen didn't know how to evaluate this contribution point. I heard that the calculation is very complicated depending on the cultivation level of the prisoners of the Disbanded Alliance, their status in the alliance, the number of secrets shared, their importance, etc.
And the whereabouts of the seven prisoners did not surprise him. After some interrogation, they were all sent to Hanzhou and became soldiers under Yin Luxiang, who had already led an army in Hanzhou.
…
Hanzhou, Pingmo Palace
This palace is located three thousand miles east of the Demonic Castle. It is a newly built palace with sapphire floors, white stone pillars, glazed tiles, and purple gold eaves. It is magnificent and majestic, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious.
This was specially built by Yin Luxiang after he came to Hanzhou, and it became his residence. Now in Hanzhou, he is known as the Master of the Pingmo Palace, and is on par with Kuang Niansong, the master of the Yumo Palace.
Despite the sect's explicit request, Hanzhou defended the demon clan's various affairs. Among the two Jindans, Kuang Shuai was the leader and Yin Luxiang was the deputy. But in fact, Yin Luxiang has always firmly controlled the men in his hands, and with the help of his relationship with the sect over the years, he has been continuously collecting prisoners distributed from various places, and his strength has grown rapidly.
On this day, in the main hall of Pingmo Palace, the tall and handsome former master of Zhenguo Palace was reading an official document that had just been delivered, and a young man stood beside him.
Yin Luxiang frowned, his face gradually darkened, and finally he put away the jade slips and cursed bitterly: "A bunch of trash!"
"Ancestor," the young man on the side asked respectfully, "What happened?"
"It's a little thing." Yin Luxiang looked at the young man next to him, calmed down, and said in a friendly manner: "Xing'er, how are you preparing?"
This young man was Yin Nanxing. When he heard the ancestor's question, he straightened his chest, cheered up, and said loudly: "My grandson has spent these days reading and writing, practicing martial arts, swordsmanship, and cultivating his character. He no longer cares about the past, and his mind Great progress. ”
"Oh?" Yin Luxiang's eyes narrowed: "Grandpa, let me ask you, do you still hate the guy who forced you to swear the inner demon oath?"
"I..." Yin Nanxing hesitated in his heart. Yang Zhen was the one he hated the most. He was the inner demon who had not been able to advance to Foundation Establishment so far. How could he not hold grudge against her?
He raised his head and found that his ancestor was staring at him with bright eyes. He suddenly felt excited in his heart and knew that this was the ancestor's question to him. If he didn't answer well, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He gritted his teeth and said the answer he had thought up these days:
"Yang Zhen, you are just a whetstone on my growth path! When the knife becomes sharper, will you still hate a stone?"
PS: I originally wanted to publish two chapters in one. I have to go out in the afternoon, so I will publish one chapter first.
