Zhou Yang's Xuan Gang Jue is about to break through the fifth level. His spiritual power and consciousness have further increased. After running for several days, he feels refreshed and feels no fatigue at all.
The backyard was quite spacious. He and Shen Tugang competed in swordsmanship every day. The Heaven-piercing Sword Technique had reached the peak of the fourth level. The sword beam was more than half a foot long. Before he even touched it, he felt a burning sensation. Come.
If the sword light hits the body, it will definitely hurt someone. It already has the power of a low-grade magic weapon. If it breaks through to the fifth level, his sword will be comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon.
The Wanli Chasing Wind Technique has also made great progress. In an instant, it can move a distance of fifteen to sixty feet, which is beyond the reach of even the peak practitioners of Lingtai.
Wood Breath Jue also moves to the second level. After it started operating, there was no breath at all, and the spiritual consciousness of the spiritual cultivators would never be able to detect him. As for the early Tianyuan master, he was still not sure, but as long as he didn't deliberately explore, it would be difficult to find his traces.
The red line of spiritual light is getting thinner and thinner, but its power has been further enhanced, and it is almost surpassing the middle-grade magic weapon. With his current spiritual power, he can continuously shoot eight red lines of spiritual light.
The control skills, internal vision skills, etc. have all improved significantly under Zhou Yang's hard training.
In addition, he has recently read a lot of books, and his knowledge has been further increased, his vision has been further broadened, his understanding of the monastic world has been deepened, and his path of cultivation has become clearer.
At this time, his comprehensive combat power has exceeded that of ordinary spiritual cultivators, but he has not yet fought against them. He does not know where the current limit of combat power is.
He now has a strong desire to compete with a master. It is best for his opponent to be at the peak of the Lingtai, and it is not an ordinary one.
Shen Tugang was very depressed. It had only been a short time before he was already far away from Zhou Yang. This man was so angry compared to others.
However, he has a character that refuses to admit defeat. He practices harder every day and strives to narrow the gap with Zhou Yang.
More than twenty days have passed, and Yangtian Pavilion's business has improved. Most of the daily necessities have been sold. In another ten days, the next batch of goods will arrive.
Zhou Yang decisively changed the direction of his business, and he still saw certain results, because there was no store in Tu Yan City that specialized in selling daily necessities for cultivators, and Yangtian Pavilion was the only one doing this.
Moreover, his daily necessities are quite complete, including uncommon items in Tuyan and Anping, which has also attracted a lot of popularity.
After more than twenty days, the net profit was around nine thousand spirit stones. Although not much, this is already a very good result considering the previous business conditions.
However, Liu and Liang came again during this period, and all the spiritual stones they earned were unceremoniously taken away, and a thousand were added to them.
Similarly, Zhou Yang and Zhong Pengfei's shares increased to 75%, while Zhou Yang donated half of the shares to Shen Tugang.
On this day, Zhou Yang appeared in the north city of Anping City through the teleportation array. Instead of teleporting alone, he gathered ten people and spent ten first-grade spiritual stones.
It's not that he's afraid of wasting spiritual stones. Now he no longer cares about the transmission cost of a hundred spiritual stones.
First, there was plenty of time and he was not too anxious. Second, there were a lot of people around the teleportation formation today. The previous group had already teleported away ten people, and now seven or eight more people came. It didn't take long for them to gather ten people.
However, after exiting the teleportation array, what they saw was a dazzling dark light and a dense cold air. The ten people teleported out were surrounded by dozens of black-armored guards.
Zhou Yang was surprised. Half a month ago, there were only two guards, and there was no interrogation of past cultivators. But now they are heavily guarded, as if facing a formidable enemy. Could it be that there has been a major change in the Xuanfu Sect's territory?
At this moment, a Tianyuan Realm deacon came forward, cupped his fists to everyone and said: "Fellow Taoists, I'm sorry, all cultivators who enter our Xuanfu Sect territory must have their identities checked. Please show your identity. The card will be inspected and you can leave on your own without incident. I hope you will cooperate and ask for your forgiveness again!"
A senior in the Tianyuan Realm spoke so politely to these Lingtai cultivators. Although everyone was reluctant, they had no choice but to accept the examination one by one.
Zhou Yang didn't care. He was well prepared when he went out. He took a new identity token with him. This token was replaced after he broke through the middle stage of Lingtai. He used Zhou Tian's name. Although it didn't take long to break through to the late stage, But it makes sense after a little explanation.
He was ranked fifth for interrogation. The first three were all fine, but the fourth person looked obviously nervous, and Zhou Yang vaguely felt that he was preparing something.
When it was that person's turn, he suddenly turned back to Zhou Yang and said, "Brother, please take out your identity token quickly."
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then sneered in his heart. He didn't expect that this person would use him as a shield. If you want to put the blame on others, you are looking for the wrong person. If you let it happen, you will become a fool.
"Are you also from Dingbei?" Zhou Yang pretended to be surprised and asked.
The man was stunned and didn't expect Zhou Yang to ask this question, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, quickly take out the identity token and let the seniors check it!"
Zhou Yang smiled but did not move. But the next moment his eyes froze, because the man's preparations were more obvious, but there should still be some time left.
The Tianyuan deacon frowned and shouted: "What happened?"
"Deacon, this person does not have an identity token. It is said to be on the person behind him."
"Hmph, take out the token first." He pointed at Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang did not hesitate, took out his identity token and handed it to the deacon. The deacon took the token and glanced at it, then turned to look at the person in fourth place and said coldly: "Where are you from? ?”
"I'm going to Dingbeiren."
"Which sect?"
"A casual cultivator has no family or sect."
"What's the name of the person behind you?"
As soon as the deacon finished speaking, he felt his eyes blurred, and when he looked again, there was no one there.
"Hmph, it's just a cover-up, but you still want to hide it from me, what a joke!" He said with a sneer and disdain.
But his sarcastic look had not faded, and he suddenly froze again because he smelled a familiar smell, the smell of formation material consumption.
"Instant teleportation array! No, this person is definitely not a Lingtai cultivator. He has hidden his cultivation! Quickly spread out and search everywhere. The teleportation will not exceed a thousand feet. If you find it, don't fight with him. Just send a signal. Hurry!" The deacon's expression changed and he shouted an order.
"Yes." The black-armored guards dispersed and chased outside the city. A white light flashed under the deacon's feet, and a ring-shaped magic weapon appeared in an instant. The magic weapon rose into the air and shot into the distance. .
At the same time, he also sent a signal for help to the city.
"Instant teleportation formation!" Zhou Yang was greatly moved. There was such a wonderful formation. He was really too ignorant.
He had seen the maze formation in the shop before in Tu Yan City, and later he had seen the invisible formation at the Tongzhou auction house. Later, when he was being chased by the Three Saints Sect in Cang Beast Mountain, he had also seen the phantom formation. None of the above was enough to convince him. Shocked, but now there is actually a simple teleportation array!
Even if it is simple, it cannot be owned by small sects. Without a formation master who understands the power of space, he will never be able to refine such formations.
At this time, there were only nine cultivators left around the teleportation array who looked at each other. They looked outside the city one after another, and then entered Anping City with their own thoughts.
Xuanfu Sect mobilized troops in this way and arranged a large number of black-armored guards to guard the city gate. There must have been a major change.
"Who is the person who used the teleportation array? He was misled by himself, so he reported himself to be from Dingbei, but he was teleported from Tu Yancheng. No one can tell where he is from." Zhou Yang secretly said guess.
It was impossible for that man to go out without his identity token. The reason why he didn't dare to show it must be related to the Xuanfu Sect's interrogation. Maybe his accomplices had fallen into the hands of the Xuanfu Sect before, but he didn't know it yet. Then the news came from Tu Yan to Anping City.
"What are they plotting against the Xuanfu Sect? Today, the Xuanfu Sect's largest industry is refined copper mines, and its largest foreign affairs activity is its participation in the Battle of Anping River. Is it possible that it is related to these two things?" Zhou Yang's mind raced. , but couldn’t figure out why.
There's no point in thinking about it. Just know that those people are enemies of Xuanfu Sect. It's better not to make unnecessary guesses.
Entering Beicheng, there are obviously more patrol guards, and the interrogation is also very strict. They refused to comment on suspicious outside cultivators and would restrain them first. Some of them were even taken away directly. The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.
When we came to the boundary street between the two northwest cities, the atmosphere was the same. Not only did the number of guards from the Xuanfu Sect more than double, but also the guard disciples from the Cang Beast Palace appeared on the opposite side. Both sides held swords and lined up on both sides to check the passing cultivators.
In the past, the Xuanfu Sect's guards at Jie Street were only at the early stage of Lingtai with the highest level of cultivation, but now there are two captains at the Lingtian realm. Although there is only one Lingtian realm captain in Cangshou Palace, the number of guards is more than the other party. In this way, the strength of both sides is basically equal.
Depending on the situation, the guards from the two factions are still a bit difficult to deal with. I have to carefully investigate the past cultivators who you think are fine.
Seeing the whole picture at a glance, Zhou Yang immediately came to a conclusion. The attitudes of the two factions changed drastically, and the relationship was already tense.
Not only these two factions, but also the two camps in Anping City are already at war with each other. The war is about to break out. The situation that has just stabilized has become unstable again. Chaos has emerged. Anping City is now both uneasy and unfair.
With Chi Fushi's character, Cangshou Palace would not take the initiative to provoke other sects. It should be that his ally Tongzhou Trading Company had a conflict with the other two sects, and Cangshou Palace was involved.
Two hostile camps have been formed, and they are about to tear off the thin fig leaf and fight each other.
Zhou Yang's new identity token was issued by Cang Beast Palace. As for the residents of Xicheng, the Xuanfu Sect had a very bad attitude. Not only did they interrogate them carefully, they also pushed them and even asked them to show their storage bags for inspection.
Zhou Yang naturally enjoyed this treatment, but having his storage bag checked was not only an insult to his personality, but also the past cultivators had no secrets at all, so of course he couldn't accept it.
However, there are more than ten disciples of Xuanfu Sect and two captains who are at the peak of Lingtai. In a real fight, he will never be able to take advantage.
