The time when this warrant was issued happened to be when Zhou Yang broke through on the seventh floor. Liniao would not be able to enter the seventh floor of Jiuchigou, so he did not know everything that happened later.
It turns out that cultivators from various sects in the three cities once gathered at Daquan Peak to discuss the matter of annihilating the Ming Clan. The leaders were of course the superpowers of Xingxu and Suiling. The other disciples of the other sects could only passively accept the task. Who can say that they have big fists? .
Zhou Yang and Bo Hai had previously guessed that the number of cultivators entering the third entrance would be as high as that of Suiling City. However, both he and Bo Hai guessed wrong. There were actually as many cultivators entering the secret realm in Xingxu City. The number of eight hundred is more than the two cities of Suiling and Dingbei combined.
When the order was issued, a thousand of the more than 1,400 cultivators in the three cities had already broken through to the Tianyuan realm. At that time, Zhou Yang was in the process of breaking through, so it was very late.
If this kind of power were to fight head-on with the Ming clan, it is not certain who would win, but if they were defeated individually, no one force could stop them. It is no wonder that all twelve branches were wiped out.
Shan Geding came with a mission, and chose to do it after most people broke through. This way, he would be more certain of completing the mission.
Dange and the four major families in Suiling City had already arrived at Daquan Peak, and before the cultivators arrived, they had formulated an action plan, including the distribution of people, attack routes, and the effects to be achieved, etc.
However, they only missed the Great Mystic Master of the Eternal Life Hall. The entire hall including people and treasures disappeared, and even the Presbyterian Council also missed something.
Not only that, although they attacked by surprise, the resistance of the Ming clan was unexpectedly tenacious, especially those branches who were good at controlling beasts.
Each beast controller is equipped with one or several demonic beasts of the same level. Dealing with one person is equivalent to dealing with two or more people. Just a few mountain-protecting beasts from the Yulin tribe swallowed up more than a dozen Tianyuan alive. Master.
Coupled with the restrictions set by various tribes, the army of cultivators suffered a lot and suffered heavy losses.
The secret location of the Presbyterian Church was discovered, but it was heavily restricted and heavily guarded.
In order to attack the Presbyterian Church's headquarters, various factions recruited more than a hundred Tianyuan masters.
Although except for the superpowers of the two cities, the disciples of other sects were cannon fodder, but after the entire war, the bones of less than half of the disciples of Xingxu City alone were buried here, let alone other sects.
It is roughly estimated that after this battle, the losses of outside cultivators have exceeded two-thirds, which is much greater than the losses caused by exploration and treasure hunting.
Of course, to a certain extent, they are lucky.
If it weren't for a sneak attack, if it wasn't defeated one by one, if the Ming Clan wasn't prepared at all, if the branches couldn't rescue each other after the war started, just the people of the Yulin tribe could have summoned thousands or even tens of thousands of monsters to join the battle, plus the Ming Clan. With all the masters from the clan joining, it is possible for the entire army of outside cultivators to be annihilated.
Such a huge loss made Dan Ge furious. He hurriedly sent cultivators to disperse throughout the secret realm, desperately searching for the remnants of the Ming clan, vowing to kill them all.
According to what the Zhou Tian Sect disciple said, of the twenty-seven people from our sect who entered the secret realm, only about ten are left at this time.
Zhou Yang urgently asked about the whereabouts of Cui Kai, Meng Dong, Xi Danjin and others. The man only knew that Tong Lianxue, Cui Kai and Tu Wei were still alive, but Meng Dong and Xi Danjin were in serious danger.
Wu Qiong, who originally belonged to the Tianxing Sect, died in the battle, and He Dongyuan and several other disciples of the He family also died.
Although Tu Wei survived, he died at the hands of Zhou Yang.
There is also He Dongyuan. He will die when he dies, but Meng Dong, Xi Danjin and others have fought alongside him. Wu Qiong also has a good relationship with him and took care of him a lot when he was at Tianxing Gate. Zhou Yang naturally feels sorry for and laments these people. .
"Oh, so many people are trying to break their heads to enter the secret realm, but most of them end up dead here. Why bother!"
Dange? He seems to be a genius, but at the same time, he is also a hard-blooded man who regards human life as nothing.
That Zhou Tianzong disciple didn't know about Tu Wei's murder. It seemed that Tong Lianxue hadn't revealed the matter yet.
"This senior sister is really hard to figure out!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head.
After sending the man away, Zhou Yang burned the warrant, leaving only a sketch of the secret realm.
It has been almost a year since I entered the secret realm. In the past year, there have been at least three major earthquakes in the secret realm.
Different from ordinary earthquakes and mountain quakes, each tremor will bring about huge changes in the sky, and even the starry sky above the secret realm will change slightly.
The first time was in the first half of the year, but it happened twice in succession in the second half of the year, each time more severe than the last.
Zhou Yang didn't know much about astronomy, and he didn't know whether this kind of vibration happened often or just recently.
"Sir, it is reported that this kind of change in the sky occurs once every thousand years, and each time the secret land will suffer a disaster. Later I realized that this kind of disaster was caused by the entry of outside cultivators.
Because every time, a large number of tribesmen would be killed, not including those sent by various branches to die. As for three such changes occurring in the same year, there seems to be no record in our clan's classics. "You Chi explained.
You Chi once told Zhou Yang that every time outside cultivators enter the secret realm, the Elders Council will order each branch to send cultivators in proportion to the number of people scattered throughout the secret realm. In the name of going out to experience, in fact, it is to provide services for outside cultivators. A living target.
"So, this situation is unusual." Zhou Yang frowned.
"It's a little unusual. Is there going to be big changes in the secret place?" You Qing was also worried.
"Ignore him, I need to worry more about you two. When the time comes, we and other outside cultivators will teleport out, but you two can't. Once the secret realm changes, you..." Until now, Zhou Yang can't do anything. Didn't think about it.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. It's good to be able to go out. It's destiny not to be able to go out. We accept it." You Chi seemed to be free and easy.
"Yes, sir, as long as you are in the outside world and want to avenge us, it will be fine. But if Dange, the culprit, can be cut into pieces before you are teleported, that would be even better!" You Qing gritted his teeth. road.
"I've also done some scanning during this period. This person's status is also very noble in Xingxu City, and his strength is unfathomable. He is always surrounded by eight guards, so it's difficult to kill him!" Zhou Yang said helplessly! Shaked his head.
"We also know that this person is difficult to deal with, but if he is hiding it, there is always a chance to do it!" You Chi's eyes flashed coldly.
"Okay, I'll continue to contact a few acquaintances and check out Dan Ge's whereabouts from the side." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Thank you, Sir! However, if you are not completely sure, it is better not to take action, so as not to involve the Sir." You Chi said gratefully.
"It's involved, I'm afraid I've been involved for a long time! Okay, let's stop talking about these things between the three of us."
"Yes, sir."
"Hey, I forgot to ask that guy for a drink." Zhou Yang slapped his head.
"My lord, have you committed a crime of drunkenness?"
"It's really a bit slanderous."
"Don't worry, the two of us will find a way to do something."
"No, no! You must not act alone. Haven't you seen that inspections have been intensified these days?" Zhou Yang waved his hand hurriedly.
"My subordinates know the stakes, so don't worry." There was a sneer on You Chi and You Qing's lips.
Zhou Yang was helpless. He knew exactly what these two guys were going to do. In the past three months, more than ten unfortunate people had died in their hands.
Zhou Yang couldn't stop this, after all, he was seeking blood revenge. Not only was it difficult to stop him, but it took his help a few times to succeed.
Having seen Zhou Yang's strength, the You brothers were in awe of him.
But Zhou Yang also made a rule: Zhou Tianzong's people were not allowed to be killed, Bo Hai was not allowed to be killed, and others were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
Regarding this rule, the You brothers were quite helpless. Zhou Tianzong participated in the siege of the Youlin tribe, which was also a big enemy.
However, they did understand Zhou Yang's difficulties. After all, they were in the same sect and had those people die at the hands of adults, which was emotionally difficult to deal with.
But understanding is understanding, and the two of them have never been able to solve this knot.
After Zhou Yang's investigation, it was found that two of the six Zhou Tianzong disciples who participated in the siege of the Youlin tribe were killed on the spot, and one person later died of his injuries.
Tu Wei died in his hands again, so now there are only two people left.
Unfortunately, one of those two people was Tong Lianxue and the other was Cui Kai. Zhou Yang could only smile bitterly. Naturally, he couldn't move between these two people.
In addition to being a disciple of the sect master, Tong Lianxue had shared life and death with him. Another point was that all men had the problem of being sympathetic to women, and Zhou Yang was not immune to this.
Needless to say, Cui Kai was a close friend of life and death. How could he kill a brother in need?
In the dilemma, he could only persuade the You brothers, which was also an important reason why he could not stop the brothers from assassinating others.
Although he killed a dozen Three Cities cultivators, Zhou Yang still lacked wine because not many of the people killed were good drinkers.
It was night, and the two of them were about to go out again, but Zhou Yang forced them to hold them back. During this period, the intensity of patrols increased significantly, and cultivators were frequently killed. This had already aroused the alarm of the higher-ups, and they should stop for a while.
The two had no choice but to obey.
One day, the three people who were on their way met several cultivators.
These people did not ride spiritual beasts, but walked.
The leader is sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cultivation level of Tianyuan 1st level. He has white clothes and a white crown, a tall figure, a face like white jade, and an extraordinary temperament.
The other cultivators' auras were quite powerful, but they followed the young man submissively, their eyes full of awe.
The young man in white's face was as dark as water, and his sharp eyes swept over Zhou Yang and the others like knives and arrows.
Zhou Yang's heart tightened and he was secretly on guard.
The young man in white didn't speak, he just glanced at the followers behind him.
"Hand over your identity token!" The two subordinates understood and blocked the path of Zhou Yang and the others.
Zhou Yang handed over the token without saying a word and motioned to the You brothers to do so.
"Young Master, we are all Dingbei cultivators. Please take a look at them." A follower presented the three tokens with both hands.
"Yeah." The boy in white didn't pick up the token. He glanced at the three of them again and stepped forward.
The subordinates returned the tokens to Zhou Yang and the others, scolded them a few more times, and then followed them.
