After Zhou Chun's eyes met with Master Xuanzhen for a moment, his figure suddenly retreated into the formation at the mountain gate at the rear.
The huge consumption of Thunder Dragon King Baibai also quickly turned into a flash of lightning and flew towards Qinglian Peak.
Seeing this situation, Master Xuanzhen's eyes flickered slightly, and finally gave up the interception.
He was quite sure that he could stop Thunder Dragon King Bai Bai.
But the problem is that it is no longer possible to pose a fatal threat to Zhou Chun who retreated into the mountain-protecting formation.
In this case, without posing a fatal threat to Zhou Chun, the hatred between the two parties is getting bigger and bigger. It can be said that a small loss makes a big loss, and it is not the behavior of a wise man!
Overall, his performance today was enough to show off to the various factions in other alliance countries.
Since he couldn't defeat Zhou Chun in three moves or two even with all his strength, for the sake of the interests of the entire alliance, he couldn't continue to offend people like Zhou Chun.
I believe that all the elders in the alliance will also understand this!
In fact, the original intention of the establishment of the "Tianling Alliance" was just to deal with the powerful coalition of demons and cultivators that invaded the Tianling and Earth Realm at that time. Logically speaking, they should not interfere in the internal battles between the various forces in the Tianling and Earth Realm.
But as time went by, after everyone discovered that this kind of alliance could indeed play a big role in certain situations, they all consciously strengthened the exchanges between various factions within the alliance, and by default expanded the scope of the alliance's powers and responsibilities.
Up to now, the Tianling Alliance has become a de facto interest cooperation organization. With the help of this organizational platform, the elders inside can obtain conveniences and benefits for themselves and the forces behind them.
For example, Master Xuanzhen, a great monk in the late Yuanying stage, indirectly gained the power to drive all the Yuanying stage monks in the world of heaven, spirit and earth because of his status as the leader of the alliance. He also benefited greatly from this, and received considerable benefits from some alliance elders.
!
In this case, he is equivalent to being tied to the alliance's chariot. There are some things that he has to do even if he doesn't want to do them.
Just like this time, the alliance elder Ziyang Zhenren was assassinated by non-alliance monks in collusion with the fallen ghost cultivators. His body was destroyed and his sect's inherited spiritual treasure was taken away.
Several elders from the Yuelun Sect and Yanyang Sect spoke out about this matter, as well as the alliance elders from Fengguo Jingyang Sect testified. They asked him, the leader of the alliance, to come forward to investigate in detail and help the alliance elders to take back the inherited spiritual treasure.
Even though he knew that there would be no good in getting involved in this kind of thing, he still had to make this trip for the sake of reputation and alliance status.
However, taking a trip for this purpose and testing Zhou Chun's true strength was the limit of what he could do.
Now that he has discovered that Zhou Chun is not a soft persimmon that can be easily dealt with, he certainly cannot offend Zhou Chun to death and create a life-or-death enemy for himself without Master Yinyue being able to produce irrefutable evidence!
So after discovering that Zhou Chun had retreated into the mountain-protecting formation, Master Xuanzhen weighed in his mind and had his own calculations.
He raised his hand to take back the sect's inherited spiritual treasure [Xuantian Golden Ruler], then looked at Master Yinyue and said: "Fellow Daoist Yinyue, with Zhou Daoyou's strength and potential, there should be no need to do that kind of thing."
There may be some misunderstanding that cannot be explained clearly about colluding with ghost cultivators to harm you and fellow Taoist Ziyang. In my opinion, it would be better for you two to sit down and talk!"
Hearing his words, Master Yin Yue immediately looked at him with a frown and said, "Do you, Taoist Brother Xuanzhen, suspect that I am lying? With the strength of the Sky Mirror, even if it transforms into a ghost cultivator, it is impossible to threaten me.
And fellow Taoist Ziyang, if Zhou Zhengchun had not restrained fellow Taoist Ziyang at that time, even if Tianjing self-destructed the ghost baby, it would not have been able to hurt me at all!!"
"But fellow Daoist Yinyue, can you provide evidence?"
Master Xuanzhen looked at him with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you can produce evidence to prove that fellow Taoist Zhou colluded with the fallen ghost cultivator, I will naturally not say anything and immediately summon the elders of the alliance to surround the Zhou family's mountain gate and let him
It’s hard to fly without wings!”
"But now if I only rely on your words, Fellow Daoist Yinyue, not only do I dare not do this, but most of the other elders in the alliance are afraid that they are not willing to do this!"
Having said this, he also looked at Master Yin Yue with deep meaning and said: "And I believe that fellow Taoists from other regions, as well as senior masters such as Master Yuanyang, will not be willing to see the power of the alliance being abused in this way!
"
The Tianling Alliance has two great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage and dozens of monks in the Nascent Soul stage.
If such an alliance would destroy another non-alliance force in order to give a certain sect within the alliance a head start, it would definitely make everyone in other regions feel at risk.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will not conflict with a certain sect of the Tianling Alliance or become enemies with a certain alliance elder in the future!
And such a united alliance of forces is obviously not in line with the current situation of the human race, where a hundred flowers bloom.
He won't be liked by those venerables in the transformation stage.
This truth is not only clear to Master Yinyue, but also to other knowledgeable alliance elders.
Therefore, he knew that Master Xuanzhen was telling the truth.
And since he couldn't produce irrefutable proof that Zhou Chun colluded with the ghost cultivator, Master Xuanzhen could naturally use this reason to refuse to take further action.
If he continues to be entangled, it will be a conflict between him and Master Xuanzhen.
This was not his intention in inviting Master Xuanzhen to come over.
So after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "I understand what Fellow Taoist Xuanzhen means, but I still insist on my own opinion. The matter of Zhou Zhengchun's collusion with Tianjing must be conclusive, and he must also have the secret of ghost cultivation in his hands."
Dharma exists!”
"It doesn't matter. Since fellow Daoist Yinyue insists on his opinion, let's slowly search for evidence. As long as there is real evidence that can prove this matter, I and the elders of the alliance will naturally go all out to eradicate such depraved evil cultivators!"
Master Xuanzhen waved his hand and said in a nonchalant tone, expressing his attitude.
Then he ignored Master Yin Yue and went directly to the outside of the Zhou Family Mountain Gate. He said to Zhou Chun who was inside the mountain gate: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is extraordinary in strength. I admire it very much. I wonder if you are willing to join the alliance.
Will we play for the alliance together in the future?"
Just now, he had an attitude of wanting to capture Zhou Chun in a matter-of-fact manner, but now in the blink of an eye, he took the initiative to invite Zhou Chun to join the Tianling Alliance. His attitude changed so quickly that it was surprising.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun also said with a half-smile: "Oh, isn't Fellow Taoist Xuanzhen going to stand up for the old thief Ziyang? Why did you come to invite Zhou to join the alliance at this time?"
Faced with his somewhat sarcastic answer, Master Xuanzhen was not angry at all.
After all, he was in a different position, so it was impossible for him to be without a temper.
Then he saw him replying with a serious face: "At this moment, at that moment, since Daoyou Zhou has won my approval in terms of strength, then the suspicion of fellow daoist can naturally be cleared temporarily, and an outstanding figure like fellow daoist, and
It comes from the world of heaven and earth, and as the leader of the heaven and spirit alliance, I should invite fellow Taoists to join the alliance out of emotion and reason!"
After finishing speaking, he also pointedly said: "If Zhou Daoyou joins the alliance, according to the rules of the alliance, as long as the private disputes among the elders do not involve human taboos, the alliance will mainly mediate and will not rashly intervene.
put one's oar in!"
The meaning of these words has become clear.
Once Zhou Chun joins the Tianling Alliance, no matter how much troubles Master Yinyue and Master Ziyang make, as long as there is no irrefutable proof that Zhou Chun colluded with ghost cultivators, Master Xuanzhen and Master Kunxu will not be coerced by their righteousness.
I won't trouble Zhou Chun again.
This was actually an important reason why Zhou Chun wanted to join the Tianling Alliance before.
Not only because he became an alliance elder, he could easily integrate into the circle of Yuanying monks in the entire world of heaven, spirit and earth, but he could also avoid conflicts with the great monks in the late Yuanying period on some matters.
Even when encountering some pressure from alien races, they can still hold high the banner of human justice and ask for assistance from the alliance.
Of course, while enjoying these benefits, he will also be subject to some restrictions once he joins the alliance.
For example, when the banner of humanity's righteousness is raised by others and he is asked to help deal with certain powerful enemies, it is not easy for him to stay out of it.
But relatively speaking, the benefits he enjoys from joining the Tianling Alliance are definitely greater than the costs, at least in the short term!
Therefore, he actually has no reason to refuse at all now.
After pondering for a while just pretending to think, he looked up at Master Xuanzhen and said: "Zhou has always had a good impression of the Tianling Alliance. He had also privately asked fellow Taoist Yinyue to help introduce him to join, but it was a pity that at that time
I couldn’t really get what I wanted!”
"Although there were some misunderstandings with fellow Taoist Xuanzhen today, we can be considered as acquaintances."
Having said this, he also clasped his fists and saluted: "Thanks to the respect of fellow Taoist Xuanzhen, I am willing to personally invite you. Zhou is honored and willing to work with all the fellow Taoists in the alliance to protect the tranquility of the world of heaven, spirit and earth!"
Seeing this, Master Xuanzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, it's so easy to say that we don't know each other without saying anything. Zhou Daoyou's words are exactly what I want. Today, with Zhou Daoyou joining the alliance, it will be even more powerful!"
After laughing, he took a deep look at Zhou Chundao: "Today's misunderstanding, I hope fellow Taoist Zhou will not take it seriously. When I return, I will immediately inform the elders of the alliance and have someone send tokens to the elders of the alliance."
But he didn't even mention Zhou Chun inviting him into the cave.
This made Zhou Chun feel a little relieved, and he could feel some of his sincerity. He immediately smiled and nodded gently and said: "Since it is all a misunderstanding, why should fellow Taoist Xuanzhen care? Then Zhou is waiting here.
Fellow Taoist has informed."
"Great kindness! I will take my leave now."
Master Xuanzhen nodded with satisfaction and immediately said goodbye.
Then he didn't look at the gloomy face of Master Yin Yue, and soon disappeared from Zhou Chun's sight.
After Zhou Chun witnessed his disappearance, he also turned his eyes and suddenly looked at Master Yinyue and said: "Fellow Taoist Yinyue, do you want to come and sit in Zhou's cave? There should be no deep hatred between you and me.
, some misunderstandings can be resolved by talking!"
His act of proactively releasing kindness also made Master Yinyue slightly stunned.
But when he saw him, he smiled coldly and said: "No need, I may not have any deep grudge against you, but your existence has threatened the status of our sect and it is related to our fundamental interests. There is nothing to talk about!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Maybe at this time, he was also regretting why he didn't take some risks and take action with Master Ziyang, and directly surrounded and killed Zhou Chun who had just returned from having a baby!
But this is just a habitual regret after something unsatisfactory in life.
Based on his character and the situation of the Moon Lun Sect at that time, sitting on the sidelines was undoubtedly the best choice!
Who could have thought at that time that Zhou Chun, after having a baby, would continue to do major events that shocked Jingguo one after another!
Who would have thought that Master Tianjing would have already found a way to get rid of his control, and had already planned this matter.
Now, although Master Tianjing died, it indirectly led to the death of Master Ziyang's physical body, the loss of spiritual treasures, and also caused Master Yinyue to use a life-saving object and suffered severe injuries.
power!
Yes, until now, Master Yinyue only regrets why he did not act decisively and kill Zhou Chun.
Instead of trying to please Zhou Chun, invest in Zhou Chun!
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, this is an eternal truth.
The Zhou family and the Yuelun Sect are both in Jingguo, so there is a natural conflict between the two that cannot be eased.
As a veteran overlord and the long-term overlord of Jingguo, the Yuelun Sect cannot take the initiative to give up its position and let the Zhou family become the talkative people of Jingguo!
Therefore, even if Master Yinyue knows now, Zhou Chun may be in great trouble in the future, and it is impossible to shake hands with Zhou Chun and make peace now.
Once he did that, it would be equivalent to giving in to Zhou Chun and giving up his identity as the speaker!
In that case, not only would the status of the Lunar Sect be reduced, but the interests of the sect would also be greatly affected!
On the other hand, the Zhou family has obtained the status of the spokesperson of Jingguo, and has obtained huge profit resources. With strong people like Zhou Chun sitting in charge, it will only become more prosperous and prosperous in the future, and the status of the spokesperson will become more and more stable.
After thousands of years have passed, the monks in Jingguo will only know the Zhou family as the overlord of Jingguo. Who will still remember their Yuelun Sect? How can a truly genius monk be willing to join their Yuelun Sect?
To sum up, Master Yin Yue would rather the Yuelun Sect be forcibly knocked down from its dominance by Zhou Chun due to lack of strength in the future, and would definitely not want to surrender now and give up the identity of the speaker without firing a shot!
Anyway, the form of Jingguo and the foundation of Yuelun Sect can basically ensure that they will not be breached and the inheritance will be cut off!
This is the biggest reason why Master Yinyue refuses to reconcile with Zhou Chun today!
Zhou Chun actually knew this very well, so he was not surprised at all.
He looked at the departing figure of Master Yin Yue, and after thinking for a moment, he gently shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, it seems from now on that the first wave of counterattacks by the Moon Lun Sect and the Yan Yang Sect has been defused by him, and there will only be fewer off-board moves for the next two factions.
On his side, whether it is Luo Qingni, who is already preparing to transform elixirs into infants, or Yan Jing Huo Feng, who is diligently practicing the secret method of transcending tribulations, if any one of them can succeed, it will make it more difficult for the two factions to succeed!
