Chapter 367: Beidou in chaos
Fluct light!
It was already famous in Beidou and was one of the most powerful forces in Beidou!
After Lu Zhou became the Holy Son of Yaoguang, the Holy Land of Yaoguang did not decline because of the severance of ties with the ruthless man who possessed Yaoguang.
Over the years, it has become even more prosperous, gaining more and more power as a holy land of supreme power.
But in recent days, Yaoguang has once again faced challenges.
After Lu Zhou and others returned to Yaoguang from Earth, they found that the atmosphere in the holy land was very unusual, and there was a solemnity in the sky.
Some disciples flew across the sky, all of them looking hurried.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
Lu Zhou stopped several disciples who were hurriedly flying past Yaoguang Holy Son Peak, and asked them curiously what had happened.
"Ah, it's the Holy Son."
"Son, you didn't disappear?"
"It's great to meet the Holy Son!"
At first, Lu Zhou suddenly stopped them, led them to the Holy Son Peak, and asked them what happened. They were still a little dazed.
When they saw Lu Zhou and others appearing in front of them, they were all overjoyed and saluted Lu Zhou at the first opportunity.
"But what happened? Why are you all so flustered?"
Lu Zhou waved his hand to ask them not to be polite, and asked them again what happened.
While asking this, Lu Zhou's heart was moved.
I thought to myself, could it be that those guys are really going to take action?
"Son, the situation outside has been quite unstable these days. Someone is targeting, no... provoking us, Yaoguang."
One of the disciples had an angry look on his face and immediately spoke to Lu Zhou.
The other disciples also looked indignant. When they saw Lu Zhou, they felt like they had found their backbone.
"Oh? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"The story is like this. About half a year ago, news suddenly came out that the Holy Son and your fellow Taoists were all missing. Most likely, they also set foot on the ancient starry sky road and left our world."
As they told their stories, Lu Zhou and others finally understood the whole cause and effect.
Just as they said, about half a year ago, news suddenly came out that Lu Zhou and his fellow Taoists had all disappeared and were no longer in this world.
What's more, it was reported that Lu Zhou and his fellow Taoists got lost in the starry sky after setting foot on the ancient starry sky road, and had encountered disasters, and most of them had died!
As for the rumors, some people even discovered that they had disappeared and were no longer on Beidou.
Lu Zhou, Yan Ruyu and the others were not surprised at all.
After all, they are all famous people in the Big Dipper. They are either the sons of a holy land, the princesses of an imperial dynasty, the jewels of a noble family, or the saints of a holy land!
If one or two or several of these people did not show up within a period of time, it would not attract the attention of some interested people.
But the pity is that none of these people have shown up during this period of time.
This has to attract the attention of some people.
Knowing this, Lu Zhou and his companions did not do anything to create confusion when they left Beidou that day.
For example, leaving behind a clone or something.
In this world, there are countless kinds of magical arts and secret techniques, in addition to these, there are also calculations of divination and so on.
For some things, as long as you are willing to pay a price, some interested people will definitely be able to find out some clues.
Since this is the case, why not see if we can make some arrangements that are beneficial to ourselves through this matter that is bound to be noticed by the outside world.
In the end, it turned out to be true when those people who were paying attention noticed that none of Lu Zhou and his fellow Taoists had shown up for several months.
They immediately felt that there might be something wrong here.
Immediately, they spread the news that Lu Zhou and others were missing, hoping to stir up some trouble.
In response to the news they released, because of Lu Zhou's explanation, the spokespersons of major forces such as Yaoguang and Yaoting all denied it at the first opportunity.
It was claimed that Lu Zhou and others were just practicing in seclusion, and that the news that suddenly emerged were all just rumors and nonsense.
It is nonsense to say that Lu Zhou and others were all lost in the starry sky, encountered disasters, and died.
Although Yaoguang and other forces all made such a negative response to the outside world at the first opportunity.
But obviously, this simple response cannot convince the public.
Especially we must not let those who have ulterior motives believe it.
For example, the ancient tribes such as the Valley of the Gods, the Yin-Yang Sect, the Wang family, and the remnants of the forces of hell and the human world, etc.
Immediately, some people shouted in various places, claiming that if Lu Zhou and others were not missing and no accidents had occurred, they would show up!
Yaoguang and other forces immediately responded again.
"Hmph, you are a bunch of idiots who hide their heads and show their tails. You dare not even show your faces and only dare to shout in the dark. Who do you think you are? My Holy Son and Holy Daughter, how can you see them just because you want to?"
The other party's response was also very timely.
After Yaoguang and other forces publicly launched a wave of ridicule, they immediately shouted in various places.
"As long as Lu Zhou and others show up, we will show up immediately, for we are afraid that the so-called Tyrant Immortal has already been destroyed."
The incident escalated and both sides started to exchange verbal attacks.
At the same time, those who were interested in the matter launched a new round of actions.
The revived ancestor king personally took action and used secret techniques to deduce Lu Zhou and others.
Lu Zhou has the Qiankun Pearl and the Emperor's weapons on him. People like Yan Ruyu also have the Emperor's weapons in their hands. Naturally, they are not afraid of some people deducing the secrets of the world on them.
However, not all of his Taoist companions have imperial weapons, and they do not stay with Lu Zhou 24 hours a day.
In this case, due to his limited strength and the fact that they were not in the same world, the ancestor king who took action was unable to deduce the true situation of Lu Zhou and others through his secret technique.
But he also vaguely realized that some of Lu Zhou's fellow Taoists, such as Feng Huang, Saint Daoyi, Saint Dayan, etc., were no longer in this world.
This seemed to have confirmed some of their previous speculations.
It is certain that Lu Zhou and others are no longer in this world. Like Ye Fan, they have all stepped onto the ancient starry road and disappeared!
The last time Lu Zhou and others returned to Beidou from Ziwei, they had always kept a low profile.
Therefore, except for a handful of people, no one else in the outside world knew that Lu Zhou had not only left Beidou once before, but also brought Ye Fan back from Ziwei Ancient Star.
As far as everyone in the outside world knows, Saint Ye Fan has already boarded the Nine Dragons Coffin Flight and disappeared from this world for nearly ten years.
After realizing that Lu Zhou and his fellow Taoists seemed to have disappeared from this world, people like the Valley of Gods, the Wang family, and the remnants of the Yin-Yang Sect immediately became restless.
It's not just them who are ready to make a move, some other ancient tribes are also ready to make a move.
When they come out in large numbers, they will inevitably compete with the major forces of the present era for some cultivation resources and the right to speak in this world.
But because many ancestral kings have not yet recovered, their overall strength has not recovered much.
In addition, Lu Zhou has set up such an alliance centered on him, which really makes some of the ancient tribes seem a little low-key and feel that they have always been restrained!
But now it's different.
If Lu Zhou and others had disappeared from this world, and really left this world and set foot on the ancient road of the stars, then in their opinion, even if the alliance he created still existed, it would definitely not be as solid or operate smoothly as when Lu Zhou was still in this world.
They, especially the ancient forces like the Valley of the Gods and the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, simply did not believe that anyone who set foot on the ancient starry road could return safely.
The ancient ancestor king who could no longer be sensed on that ship gave them the confidence to make this judgment.
They believed that even if Lu Zhou and others could return, it would definitely be many years later.
By that time, the strongest fighters of the major ancient races, those ancestral kings, must have all revived.
By then, even if Lu Zhou came back, they would not be afraid anymore!
They believed that this might be the best opportunity for them to challenge the human race and fight for the right to speak in this world.
At the same time, although those sneaky people think so, they are not fools.
Especially among them, there are forces like Hell and the Human World, which have suffered a lot at the hands of Lu Zhou.
Although they were certain that Lu Zhou and others were no longer in this world, they were also worried that this was another trap set by Lu Zhou and others.
The purpose is to lure out all those who have ill intentions or grudges against him, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
In view of this, they decided to play it safe first.
And this so-called safe way is to keep making attempts in secret.
There were even more noisy rumors that were spread everywhere, claiming in an extremely firm tone that Lu Zhou and others were no longer in this world, had set foot on the ancient starry road, and had been buried in the starry sky!
It is said that these words were spoken by an ancestor king of the Valley of Gods.
With the endorsement of the Zu Wang, and the commotion already being so loud, Lu Zhou and the others did not show up.
To be honest, more and more people really believe that Lu Zhou and others are probably no longer in this world.
"In addition to this, they also took action. The first target they attacked was some of our mines outside the Taichu Ancient Mine."
It was Saint Lord Yaoguang who spoke.
He had already received news that Lu Zhou and others had returned to Yaoguang.
As soon as he got the news, he rushed to Shengzi Peak and met Lu Zhou and others.
Compared to those Yaoguang disciples, Saint Lord Yaoguang obviously knows much more about some things.
He waved his hand and asked the Yaoguang disciples to retreat. He then told Lu Zhou and others in person about some of the things that had happened in Beidou in the year since Lu Zhou and others left Beidou.
"Did they show up and rob our mine in the Taichu Ancient Mine? Or did they do something else?"
Yao Xi asked.
Saint Yaoguang shook his head.
"Since this is a test, they will definitely not show up directly!"
"We don't know who is behind this!"
"But I think it should be them!"
"They hid their identities, broke into our mines many times, killed people, and robbed some of the source stones we had mined."
"The reason why Jaco and the others were a little panicked earlier was because one of our mines in the Northern Territory was attacked again!"
"They are here to report the news!"
Speaking of this, Saint Lord Yaoguang's face was filled with anger, and murderous intent was in his eyes.
But dealing with this matter really gave him a headache.
There is no other reason, Yaoguang has more than one mine in the Northern Territory.
Since ancient times, there has always been a saying that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Those guys were fighting guerrilla warfare with them, just causing destruction, killing, and robbing mines, but not directly occupying the territory, which really gave them a headache!
In this regard, Yaoguang did take corresponding preventive measures.
Yaoguang once launched a large-scale attack and deployed strong men to guard each mine.
As a result, Yaoguang suffered even greater losses.
The strong men sent by Yaoguang might have encountered an ambush halfway.
Or after the forces are dispersed, those guys will concentrate their strength and launch a sudden attack to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
In just a few months, Yaoguang has lost more than a dozen leader-level figures.
As for the monks below the leader, and the miners, there are even more!
It is not an exaggeration to say that this situation would occur!
In the original novel, the Thirteen Great Bandits had looted Yaoguang and the mines of other holy sects in the Northern Territory.
Not to mention, there are forces like Hell and the Human World that are far more powerful than the Thirteen Great Bandits!
If some ancient tribes get involved, it would be even more serious!
"What about the holy places and families such as Yaochi, Jiang Family, Feng Clan, Daoyi, and Zifu?"
It was Shiyao who asked.
These forces all have mines in the Northern Territory. Some forces, like Yaoguang, also occupy mines in addition to the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Her meaning was obvious.
I'm just asking whether Yao Chi and other forces have encountered any temptations or provocations?
The question is not whether these forces took action after Yaoguang encountered these provocations.
There is no need to ask about this matter.
She, Lu Zhou and others all believed that action would definitely be taken.
This is indeed the case, these forces have all taken action.
"Not only them, some of your friends, such as the Thirteen Bandits, those small bandits, and that monkey, they also took action, but..."
Saint Lord Yaoguang said to Lu Zhou that after the Jiang family and other forces got involved, some of their mines in the Northern Territory would occasionally encounter some sneaky attacks.
"Not only that, the situation is getting worse now!"
"It is no longer limited to the mines. Some of our bases in various places and people walking outside have also begun to encounter attacks."
“Including your friends.”
"Fortunately, your friends were prepared because you had informed them in advance, so nothing bad happened to them!"
"Not only that, we have also used this to set up traps and killed many attackers."
"In general, we didn't suffer much loss in this battle. They suffered greater losses."
"Until now, due to one test after another that has become increasingly intense and gradually clear, you have never shown up from beginning to end."
"Now basically everyone has determined that you are no longer in this world."
"It's almost the same as you expected. Just half a month ago, an ancient tribe openly stood up and called on us, Yaoguang, to withdraw from all mines and bases in the Northern Territory."
"Oh? Which ancient tribes are they?"
Lu Zhou asked.
