In the middle of the Yunzhong Mountains,

Zhou Yunyang stood outside Linjiang Cave, dozens of meters away from Shao Xiong and his apprentice. Zhou Yunyang said nothing, but the sarcasm on his face was not concealed at all.

"Zhou Yunyang, why are you here?"

Shao Xiong said. Zhou Yunyang was his old friend. In the wilderness north of the Yunzhong Mountains, he had ambushed Zhou Yunyang seven times, but he escaped every time. Zhou Yunyang was not willing to be left behind and also attacked him six times. The two sides were good friends.

"I heard about your embarrassment in the Wilderness. You are a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and it’s bad enough that

you can’t defeat a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. You even block other people’s doors. You have lost face for us cultivators in the Wilderness." "This kid is hiding behind the Eight Gates Golden Armor Formation. This is a third-level formation. Do you have the ability to break it?"

"No."

"Then what are you talking about? You still have the nerve to call yourself a formation master and say that you want to be the Divine Formation King."

Shao Xiong also sneered. Zhou Yunyang has an excellent talent for formations. He is a rare formation master among the casual cultivators. He once said after drinking that he wanted to learn the deeds of the Divine Pill King Li Ruoxu. The Divine Pill King Li Ruoxu used his alchemy skills to suppress the alchemists of the two major sects. He also wanted to use his formation attainments to suppress the formation masters of the two major sects. He claimed to be the man who wanted to be the Divine Formation King.

"I am a late-stage second-level formation master. The Eight-Gate Golden Armor Formation is a third-level mid-grade formation. It is normal that I cannot break it. But you, you are so shameless. Not only do you extort cultivators everywhere, but you also run into a wall in front of the initial stage of foundation building. Tsk tsk, your reputation is ruined!"

"You..."

"Master, just kill him. Now he can't set up the formation." "Don't do it. He didn't come alone."     Shao Xiong held Shao Jie. If Zhou Yunyang came alone, he would have taken action long ago.

"     You old man still have a sharp nose. You can smell it all."     "You dare to mix with the assassins. Aren't you afraid that the two major sects will peel off your skin?"     Shao Xiong said. The confrontation had already begun. His spiritual sense had already locked the surroundings, looking for Zhou Yunyang's accomplices, but he never found them. The fierce murderous intent in the dark has always existed. Shao Xiong guessed that Zhou Yunyang's accomplices were those assassins.     Zhou Yunyang's identity as a formation master is very popular in the wilderness, because formation masters can build bases in the wilderness. A safe base is like a treasure trove in the wilderness. Zhou Yunyang has done this before, but not long ago, their base was destroyed by the beast tide.     "I don't know what you are talking about. What assassin? I don't understand at all."     "Hmph, Zhou, what do you want to do?"     "Nothing, I just want to steal your job. How about I give you a way out? You can get off now, right?"     Zhou Yunyang said with a smile, and Shao Xiong's face was a little uncertain.     He thought carefully in his heart. Zhou Yunyang's formation master skills must not be as profitable as the wilderness in Yunzhong City. He is back. Is there something wrong with the wilderness?     "What if I let you do it once?"     After considering it, Shao Xiong decided not to argue with Zhou Yunyang, and quickly retreated with Shao Jie.     "Brother Zhou, why don't you let me do it? I am 70% sure to take him down. He has a lot of money."     A voice came into Zhou Yunyang's ears from the dark, looming.     "Don't underestimate Shao Xiong, this guy is really a character. I ambushed him six times and let him run away. He won't die so easily."     Zhou Yunyang shook his head. In terms of single combat, he was really no match for him. And once the assassin lost his surprise, he might not be a match for Shao Xiong face to face.     ·······     "Zhou Yunyang, I fuck you (a kind of plant) uncle."     More than ten miles east of Linjiang Cave Mansion, Shao Xiong looked at his cave and cursed Zhou Yunyang with gritted teeth.     His home was robbed. Even the formation of his cave was changed by Zhou Yunyang. It was obviously his home, but he couldn't get in.     "Master, what should I do?"     Shao Jie was also confused and terrified. He had never experienced such a thing. Now he didn't dare to enter his home. God knew what trap Zhou Yunyang had set inside.     "Let's go, I don't want it anymore."     Shao Xiong shook his head and left. The immortal cultivators who have been active in the wilderness for many years have no sense of management, because in the wilderness, no matter how well you manage, a beast tide can make you start all over again. So Shao Xiong took over this cave, and he just regarded it as a safe place to live temporarily. There was no wealth in it, so he just abandoned it.     Half an hour later, an unlucky guy died in Shao Xiong's killing, and the cave he had managed for many years became someone else's home. Shao Xiong asked Shao Jie to guard the house, and he went out to get information.     Five days later, Shao Xiong came back with a gloomy face. Shao Jie didn't dare to speak loudly. He rarely saw Shao Xiong with this expression.     "Master, what happened?"

"Something happened in the Wilderness, the demon tribe counterattacked, and all the strongholds in the Wilderness were destroyed. Now only the strongholds of the two major sects are struggling to hold on, but it seems that they can't hold on anymore."

"No way, didn't the two major sects say that they had an old man who had attained the state of transformation to be in charge?"

"I don't know the details, anyway, I only know that something happened in the Wilderness."

"How will this affect us?" "

The impact is too huge. The Wilderness is also the money bag of the two major sects. Now that the money bag is broken, they have to get it back from somewhere else,"

said Shao Xiong. The two major sects have never been easy to deal with, and one is more ruthless than the other when it comes to harvesting independent cultivators. Now that the income from the Wilderness is gone, they have to get it back from other places. Where to collect it from? Naturally, they will collect it from the independent cultivators. He, Shao Xiong, is also one of the independent cultivators, and is also the target of the two major sects' harvesting.

"Is this why Zhou Yunyang and his group came back?"

"Not only him, but more than half of the famous people in the wilderness have returned. This Yunzhong Mountain Range will be very lively in the future,"

said Shao Xiong. There are many ruthless and capable people in the wilderness. In the past, they hung out in the wilderness and had no impact here, but this time so many people came back, things became difficult to deal with. For example, his blackmail plan will definitely fail and will not work.

"Then what about the master's plan..."

"No hurry, keep a low profile first and see how things develop. Don't be a hero,"

said Shao Xiong. In the wilderness, he is not one of the top ones. He has to wait and see. Survival is the capital, and those who stand out will die first.

·······

"Fellow Daoist Lin, have you decided?"

Zhou Yunyang appeared in front of Lin Jiang's cave. That day, Zhou Yunyang drove Shao Xiong away and did not attack Lin Jiang, but made new demands.

Zhou Yunyang asked Lin Jiang to hang out with him, promising that not only the cave could be preserved, but also great benefits, and there would be no shortage of various resources in the future.

Lin Jiang's eyes flickered at this time, and he was a little hesitant, because in the past few days, he had contacted Fan Tong and others and had learned some news that many ruthless people from the north of Yunzhong Mountains had returned, not only Shao Xiong and Zhou Yunyang, but also others.

The original foundation-building cultivators in the south, those at the initial and intermediate levels, were almost all gone, even Fan Tong had run away, abandoned his cave, and hid in Yunzhong City. Fan Tong told Lin Jiang that something big must have happened in the north, and these vicious northern cultivators had treated them, the southern cultivators, as fat sheep, and many people had been killed, so he asked Lin Jiang to run away as soon as possible.

"Daoyou Zhou, can I ask you a question, what happened in the north?"

"This is not what Daoyou should consider, Daoyou just need to answer me, agree or not"

"If you don't agree, you will die" "

Daoyou are smart, that's it"

Zhou Yunyang said with a smile, something big happened in the north, the scattered cultivators' strongholds were swept away, and only the two major sects were left struggling to support, but he dared to conclude that the monster clan's offensive would not last long, and the cultivators would make a comeback.

During this period, he had to recruit more brothers, and when he returned to the north, he could use them as cannon fodder. Of course, if they were some capable and technical ones, they could be cultivated as confidants.

"Then I choose not to agree"

Lin Jiang answered directly, he was like this, he would be soft but not hard.

Of course, Lin Jiang also analyzed the pros and cons, he didn't know what kind of person Zhou Yunyang was, and he didn't know what his work style was. If he went to his side, he would definitely be cannon fodder, and Lin Jiang naturally didn't want to.

"If you don't agree, then it's okay. Daoist Lin, just stay at home and don't come out."

Zhou Yunyang smiled. It's not easy to force someone with a solid cave to come out. He can't break the third-level formation, but he can stay. He is much more patient than Shao Xiong.

"Then don't bother Daoist brother to worry about it."

Lin Jiang directly hid his figure and returned to the cave.

But Lin Jiang was in a bad mood. He knew that now there was a problem in the middle section of the Yunzhong Mountains, and it would become more and more difficult to survive in the future. But Lin Jiang was very reluctant to give up the cave.

He not only invested a lot of spirit stones in this cave, but also lived very comfortably. The core area of ​​hundreds of acres was so big that he could play however he wanted. The same was true for sand sculptures of all sizes. In Yunzhong City, they could only step in a very small yard, so whether it was from the perspective of interests or emotions, Lin Jiang was unwilling to give up.

Then Lin Jiang could only choose to hold on to the end. Even if the talisman was not counted, Lin Jiang was confident now. The Explosion Technique plus a set of super-high-quality spiritual equipment was really powerful.

"Going under is not about giving in blindly, compromising, and avoiding. You still have to strike when you need to,"

Lin Jiang comforted himself. He couldn't keep hiding. He had to find an opportunity to kill a few powerful ones to deter others.
