Chapter 669 Maitreya
Zizhen harnessed the escaping light and approached Ri Feng Yue Island.
It's the beginning of the year.
The ice in the waters has not receded, the pines and cypresses are withered and yellow, the water is exhausted and the rocks are dry, occasionally dotted with white snow, and the many islands look desolate.
And because there is a third-order formation on Sun Peak Moon Island, it is as warm as spring, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant. A group of monks wander around in groups and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
This method of adjusting the flow of the four seasons is not uncommon. Ordinary second-order formations can also do it, but the scope of influence is by no means so large.
The Qimen Formation not only makes Sun Peak Moon Island feel like spring all year round, but also connects the water veins, making the island full of spiritual energy. If you practice here, you can make great progress.
It was also because of this that the disciples of Situ's family who had come all the way from the deserted city with great reluctance gradually stopped complaining after they arrived.
"Senior."
One person rides the auspicious clouds to welcome him:
"The Supreme Elder is already waiting in the main hall."
"Yeah."
Zizhen regained consciousness and nodded, her beautiful eyes casually scanned the monk below, and said:
"Is my family moving here again?"
"Yes." The person came with a smile on his face:
"Speaking of which, they were very reluctant before coming, but after coming they couldn't bear to leave. They wished they had come and settled here a few years earlier."
Zi Zhen was thoughtful.
Rifengyue Island seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is a raging fire. Many hostile forces of the Situ family have appeared nearby.
And most of them are masters!
But the low-level monks obviously didn't notice the undercurrent.
This was obviously something the upper class deliberately concealed, and only those with enough strength and status like them could detect what was wrong.
Ordinary monks follow the crowd while those in authority control the situation. This is the current situation in the spiritual world.
'The more my family moves here, the more outsiders will think this is the Situ family's escape route, and it will also attract more opponents here, buying time for the real elite of my family to escape. ’
‘It seems...’
‘The situation in Situ’s family is already extremely bad. A thousand-year-old foundation collapsed in one day. Unexpectedly, it happened so quickly? ’
With his thoughts turning, Zizhen walked all the way and came to the main hall located at the top of Sun Peak. The three characters "Yao Sun Palace" above the main hall were particularly eye-catching.
The hall was empty except for one person sitting upright.
But the aura of this person seemed to fill the entire hall. Not only did it not make people feel that the place was empty, but it would actually make it feel cramped.
Situ Tianyun!
An overhaul of the Dao-based perfection state!
Zizhen walked into the hall, cupping his fists and cupping his hands:
"Zizhen has met the Supreme Elder."
"Fairy, please sit down." Situ Tianyun gently stroked his beard, extended his hand to signal, and said with a smile:
"These days, the Tribulation Cultivator Zongheng and Heng Heng also caused several flaws in the Qimen Formation. Thanks to fellow Daoist Zhou who went back and forth to repair it."
"It should be." Zizhen lowered his head and said politely:
"As guests of the Situ family, our husband and wife have been cared for for many years and have been able to live a stable life and fulfill our responsibilities as a matter of course."
"Say what you said!" Situ Tianyun straightened his face and said:
"I appreciate people who value love and righteousness most!"
"Not to mention the tributes given by the Situ family to the two of us, the long-standing friendship between us is no longer an outsider. It's a pity that grateful people have always been rare."
"A few days ago, Huang Jiao secretly colluded with outsiders and almost overturned an entire city!"
Speaking of this incident, even though it had been a long time, he still couldn't hide the anger in his heart and his face was filled with murderous intent.
Zi Zhen pursed her lips.
Huang Jiao is a guest who moved here with her family more than ten years ago. She has been worshiped by the Situ family for hundreds of years. Logically speaking, her loyalty should be enough.
pity.
This woman betrayed the Situ family's trust.
He actually colluded with outsiders to destroy the main formation nodes in Fangshi, indirectly killing several Daoji monks from the Situ family, and then escaped.
No wonder Situ Tianyun was so angry.
"Hey!"
Sighing softly, Situ Tianyun, who seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years, spoke again:
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and world events are unpredictable. There are very few people who believe in people like Xianzi and Daoyou Zhou. To have two of them, the Situ family is so lucky!"
Shaking his head, he looked seriously:
"Fairy Zizhen, I think you already know the situation of the Situ family now, and I won't hide it from you. I plan to treat this place as an abandoned house."
"Using Sun Peak and Moon Island to attract firepower, the real elite of our family will take the opportunity to go somewhere else."
"Really?" Zi Zhen raised his eyebrows, as if surprised:
"The Supreme Elder is leaving?"
"Me?" Situ Tianyun smiled and shook his head:
"The old man doesn't have many good years to live. Going away will only waste resources. It's better to stay and make room for young people."
"And..."
"Once the old man leaves, I'm afraid there won't be many enemies here."
"But, you two can leave."
"Oh!" Zi Zhen's beautiful eyes flashed and she said slowly:
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."
"The fairy's talent is astonishing. She is a person who has the potential for golden elixirs. Fellow Daoist Zhou is even more proficient in formations. There is no need for the two of you to stay and take risks." Situ Tianyun said:
"If you two are willing to follow me, I can arrange for you to leave secretly, and no outsiders will notice."
"To be honest, Situ Xuan, Qionghua, and that girl Wang Tian have all left."
"No wonder..." Zizhen looked like he didn't know until now, with a thoughtful expression on his face:
"I need to discuss this matter with my husband."
"Of course."
Situ Tianyun nodded:
"This is a big matter, so we need to discuss it carefully. However, the situation is urgent. You two had better reply as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid there will be twists and turns."
"By the way, I wonder what the fairy thinks?"
"I..." Zizhen lightly touched the armrest with her fingers and suddenly said:
"I heard that Xiao Maitreya appeared nearby?"
"Not bad." Situ Tianyun nodded:
"I know that the fairy has a grudge against the Laughing Maitreya, but this person is very powerful, and he is accompanied by two Taoist female cultivators. For the sake of long-term memory, it is not appropriate to provoke him."
"My hatred for this person is irreconcilable." Zizhen looked solemn:
"If we don't kill this person, we and I will never leave. I hope the elders can help us. We will be rewarded one day."
"This..." Situ Tianyun looked helpless:
"In this case, the old man will definitely create opportunities for the fairy, but Xiao Maitreya is definitely not a good person. You two must be cautious when doing it."
"Of course."
…………
Zizhen had already left, but Situ Tianyun still sat motionless.
"Ancestor."
At some point, a middle-aged man appeared on the scene and asked in a low voice:
"Fairy Zizhen and Fellow Daoist Zhou Yi are not ordinary people, especially Fellow Daoist Zhou. They are very accomplished in formations. Wouldn't it be great if they could leave with the elites of our family and set up formations?"
He heard all the conversation just now.
Although Situ Tianyun said it politely, the middle-aged man knew very well that the ancestor had no intention of letting Zizhen and Zhou Yi leave together.
This puzzled him.
Both of these two can be of great use.
"Indeed."
Situ Tianyun lowered his eyebrows and said:
"This couple is extremely talented. It is rare that they are proficient in formations and the female is naturally talented. However, it is precisely because they are so talented that they cannot follow them."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was thoughtful.
"That's it, Zhou Yi. Although his attainments in formations are astonishing, his cultivation talent is mediocre and poses no threat. He is of great benefit to our family, but Fairy Zizhen is by no means an easy person." Situ Tianyun said:
"She was originally the Lord of Black Mountain and the disciple of Black Wind Old Demon. Not only was she extremely talented, but her hands were stained with blood during her cultivation journey."
"How can this generation be willing to always be inferior to others?"
"It would be fine if my family was powerful. The Situ family today is not what it used to be. Letting her leave with her could cause trouble at any time."
"Sooner or later she will be a complete overhaul of Taoji. Who can stop her then?"
The middle-aged man understood.
Then he let out a long sigh, full of regret.

When Zizhen returned to the island, he saw Zhou Yi sitting cross-legged under a giant tree.
The level of the Qingmu longevity skill is not low, and it can be cultivated to the golden elixir realm. However, it is a pity that the progress of this skill is slow and it is difficult to achieve success.
Unless there is a compatible Taoist spiritual body that can increase the speed of practice, but this kind of person has always been rare.
Fortunately,
Zhou Yi has enough patience and has a golden finger that will last forever.
"Buzz..."
The spiritual light emerged and spread all over the island in the blink of an eye.
A burst of vitality surged out of Zhou Yi's body, and the giant tree withered behind him suddenly shook and stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Young shoots grow, branches and leaves emerge.
On the rocks, there are also weeds that tenaciously break through the cracks in the rocks and quietly poke their heads out.
In just a moment, flowers bloomed and grass grew on the bare island in the cold late winter.
Zi Zhen's beautiful eyes lit up.
"Huh..."
Zhou Yi opened his eyes and exhaled softly.
On the light screen of the sea of consciousness, the Qingmu Longevity Technique also changed.
Aoki longevity skill: Dacheng (1/100)
The Qingmu Longevity Technique at the Dacheng realm has finally progressed beyond the same level of practice. Now Zhou Yi can barely be regarded as a little genius.
Although he is not as good as Zizhen, he can surpass most Taoist monks.
When it reaches perfection or even breaks its limits, it may not be worse than Zi Zhen.
As the skills advanced, the speed of refining elixirs increased dramatically, and the cultivation level that was originally at the peak of the initial stage also progressed to the middle stage of Daoji.
"Papa..."
Applause broke out.
Zizhen comes with a full smile:
"My husband has accumulated a lot, so I am very happy to congratulate him."
"Yes." Zhou Yi stood up:
"I said that my cultivation progress was slow at the beginning, but it will get faster and faster later on. You didn't believe it yet, but do you believe it now?"
"Indeed." Zi Zhen approached:
"My husband is amazing."
"How are you doing there?" Zhou Yi smiled:
"What did Situ Tianyun say?"
"They pretended to let us leave with Situ Ben's family, but in fact he had no such plan, but he can help deal with Xiao Maitreya." Zizhen said:
"What do you think?"
"The Qimen Formation is not a complete third-level formation. If given another hundred years, the Situ family may be able to gain a foothold here." Zhou Yi touched his chin:
"Now, more and more positions are being breached, and I am afraid it will be difficult for peripheral markets to hold on for long."
"By the way..."
"People from the Yun family came over and said that if you and I are willing to join the Yun family, we will be generously rewarded. If we are willing to turn against the Situ family or even break the Qimen formation, we will receive even more generous gifts."
Zi Zhen shook his head slightly.
After all, they had been together for decades, and no matter how weak their relationship was, they wouldn't be able to backhand him with a knife. She would definitely not agree to this matter.
"As for Laughing Maitreya..."
From Zhou Yi’s perspective:
"The Yun family is willing to make peace."
"Say peace?" Zizhen sneered:
"If the Yun family can bring Xiao Maitreya's head, I might as well agree to have some contact and make peace, then forget it."
"It's not necessary to be so decisive." Zhou Yi touched his chin:
"Maybe..."
"There's more to talk about!"
"But before that, we should talk to Situ Tianyun, an old man, about how such a dangerous thing like attracting enemies requires some reward."
"This is exactly the reason." Zizhen patted his hands:
"Let's see if we can get a magic weapon from the Situ family. After all, it's a life-and-death business."
The two hit it off immediately, and after Zhou Yi stabilized his cultivation, he went to Ri Feng Yue Island. Of course, he didn't have any magic weapons, but he had a lot of good things.
Four third-level cloud thunder beads, one-time self-destruction magic weapon Dark Sky Shuttle, elixir to restore mana, elixir to increase cultivation, etc...
It's obvious.
Most of what Situ Tianyun gave them were things they could use to fight for their lives. He probably wanted the two of them to pay for their lives and not leave any treasures that could be passed down as inheritance.

As the name suggests, the Laughing Maitreya people are chubby and smile all the year round, giving people a kind and friendly feeling.
But people who are familiar with him all know that this man has a ferocious temperament, is cruel and murderous, and is extremely fond of beauty. It can be said that he loves all women.
However, his methods are extremely good, his strength is outstanding, and there are many vassals around him, so he can do well wherever he goes.
Everyone knows that Laughing Maitreya was born in Buddhism and was proficient in many Zen techniques and secret techniques, especially the way of joy, and he can be called a master.
"Hehe..."
A sweet laugh rang out, and Miss Yun Piaomiao landed beside Laughing Maitreya. Her delicate body seemed to be exposed under the gauze, and she was full of charm.
Viewed from a distance, it looks like a delicate girl dancing around fat flesh.
Yun Piaomiao has always been regarded as the sweet girl of heaven in the Yun family. She has outstanding appearance, graceful figure, and extraordinary cultivation. She has many admirers.
I'm afraid no one could have imagined that she would act out such a charming way on a piece of meat.
"It seems there is news."
Facing the temptation of the beautiful woman, Xiao Maitreya remained unmoved and said calmly:
"What do the Yun family plan to do?"
"Zizhen has extraordinary talent and cultivation. If she can bring in her own strength, it would be a dream. However, since she has a grudge against you, my grandfather will definitely care about your face." Yun Piaomiao smiled and said:
"But, her husband is not ordinary."
"Zhou Yi?" Xiao Maitreya frowned, as if he disliked this name very much.
"Exactly!" Yun Piaomiao nodded:
"After all, Zizhen is a casual cultivator and does not have a top lineage. At most, he is a monk with perfect Taoism. Our Yun family has no shortage of masters."
"But that Zhou Yi is very likely to be the next master to become a third-level array mage while alive, and his value is comparable to a golden elixir."
"If we can get him, our Yun family's foundation will last for hundreds of years at least!"
How rare is a third-level array mage?
It is because of the existence of the third-level formation that the Situ family can still survive even without the Golden Pill Grandmaster and many enemies.
"So..." The corners of Xiao Maitreya's mouth twitched:
"The Yun family plans to hand me over in exchange for Zhou Yi and his wife's favor?"
"Hey!" Yun Piaomiao waved her hand:
"Even if our Yun family is a bit dirty, we will not be so upright and treacherous. My grandfather will not agree to it first."
"But..."
Her beautiful eyes flashed and she said:
"You seem to have met a few elders' women. They always hold a grudge against you. There's no guarantee they won't do something against you secretly."
"Hmph!"
Laughing Maitreya snorted.
The skills he practices are extremely special and have incredible allure to women, especially those who are easily aroused by love.
In addition, he likes women and refuses to accept anyone who comes, so naturally he touches the wrong people intentionally or unintentionally.
even.
Even a concubine of the current head of the Yun family, Yun Pianmiao's elder, had sex with her without anyone knowing.
The last time he was in danger was because of a woman, and it was the same this time.
"A third-level array master is indeed rare, but he must be alive. A dead array master is worthless."
He snorted lightly, smiling with a sinister expression on Maitreya's face:
"And that bitch Zizhen deserves to die too!" (End of Chapter)
