Chapter 248 Immortal Alliance Envoy
After some consideration, Chu Zheng set the date for opening the mountain gate again to two years later.

By then, the enthusiasm of the Wanzong Qianlong Competition will gradually fade away, and the situation will gradually stabilize.

The special envoy from the Immortal Alliance who came to pick him up should also arrive during that time.

However, considering what the Dongsheng Demon Immortal had said before, he could not wait for the person who came to pick him up. He had to find another way out and leave Cangyun.

He has already obtained the coordinates of the Ten Thousand Worlds Battlefield from Nie Longhu. As long as he can get close to it, there should be some way.

After considering his next move, Chu Zheng came out of seclusion and interacted with many disciples of Taixuan Holy Land.

After a few casual chats, he discovered many problems.

During this period of time, he spent most of his time in seclusion and was somewhat negligent in disciplining his Taixuan disciples.

Now when he came to his senses, he suddenly discovered that among the Taixuan disciples who came to participate in the Wanzong Qianlong Competition, a large number of them had already had considerable disputes with many forces.

After all, they are just a bunch of kids, still in their teens, with their minds still unstable, and it is really difficult for them to resist the many temptations.

Chu Zheng didn't care about the olive branches thrown by various forces, but for these inexperienced disciples, it was really hard to refuse.

This situation is not an isolated case. A generation of disciples that has not yet made any achievements has now been torn to pieces by hands reaching out from all directions.

At this moment, Chu Zheng finally understood why Geng Yiyang had closed the mountain for a hundred years when he opened the mountain gate, allowing only people to enter but not leave, and not allowing these disciples to enter the world too early.

The time of practice is still short and the concentration is insufficient, so one often loses the sense of direction after being flattered by others.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng had no choice but to cut the Gordian knot and invite two Taixuan elders to send all the disciples back to the holy land.

He has not appeared for a long time, and the relationship between him and these disciples is weak. However, Fu Quanliang is different. These disciples were basically brought up by him, like fathers and brothers.

These disciples will listen to Fu Quanliang's words to some extent, and now the situation has not yet developed to the point where it is out of control, so there is still room for maneuver.

This move naturally caused quite a stir in Wanlong City. All forces were worried and kept speculating on Chu Zheng's thoughts.

After sending off many disciples, Chu Zheng once again used his magical power of disguise to transform into Bai Zhixiao's appearance, left Wanlong City, and headed straight for the Taixu Holy Land.

The Taixu Holy Land has been passed down since ancient times. In today's Cangyun Realm, there are very few places with a longer heritage than it.

Endless treasures are hidden in the holy land, and the Taixu Treasure House is his real goal. As long as he can plunder enough resources for cultivation, he can improve his cultivation as quickly as possible without any worries.

If he could successfully empty the treasure house of the Taixu Holy Land, it would be his biggest gain ever, and its value would be immeasurable.

…………

…………

In fact, Chu Zheng had considered relying on Bai Zhixiao's skin and just staying in Taixu to wait and see what happened.

However, in today's Cangyun Realm, there is no one in charge of the way of heaven, and it is the best time to leave this world.

If he stayed here, even if he could rely on Bai Zhixiao's skin to barely escape the disaster, he would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the powerful immortal alliance who would control the Cang Yun Tiandao in the future.

The power of Heaven can clearly perceive the changes in destiny, and then lock onto Chu Zheng's existence, just like Zhao Tingxian did back then.

If Zhao Tingxian had not let him go several times and even covered up for him, he would never have been alive today.

Relying on the extreme speed of the Star-Breaking Shuttle, Chu Zheng arrived outside the mountain gate of the Taixu Holy Land in just one day.

Nowadays, most of the true disciples of Taixu Holy Land and the few top powerhouses are in Wanlong City, and the defenses inside the gate are very empty.

As the master of Taixu Holy Land, Bai Zhixiao naturally had the method to pass through the formation. With the help of his memory fragments, Chu Zheng quickly crossed the protective formation without any harm.

The silver moon was hanging high in the sky, and Chu Zheng's heart was inexplicably touched when he revisited the old place. For a moment, he even felt inexplicably reluctant to leave. This should be due to the residual memory of Bai Zhixiao's soul.

Looking at the Taixu River winding through the void, Chu Zheng became a little wary. Absorbing the fragments of the residual soul would be interfered with by the memories contained in them. This was not a trivial matter and he needed to pay more attention to it in the future.

After collecting his thoughts, Chu Zheng calmly began to approach his destination.

In just a moment, he arrived at the treasure house of Taixu Holy Land.

The treasure house is located on a mountain wall, shrouded in a heavy auspicious atmosphere. A water dragon meanders over the gate, its black scales fluttering, looking lifelike.

Chu Zheng took a deep breath, looked at the real dragon above his head, and began to make hand gestures according to Bai Zhixiao's memory.

boom--

As seals were cast one after another, the door slowly opened, and the first thing that came into view was countless wooden racks.

The wooden shelf closest to the door has piles of wooden boxes on it. Inside are hidden secrets. They are all storage treasures, containing things like spirit stones, minerals, or some rare treasures.

Chu Zheng stepped into the treasure house, his pupils flashing with intelligence. The overwhelming amount of information made his thoughts confused for a moment. The scene before him was like a dream, seemingly unreal.

The Taixu Treasure House is divided into three floors.

The reserves on the first level are quite diverse and are the heritage of a holy land, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The second layer is filled with many magical weapons, as well as some semi-finished products, such as embryos and elixirs that are still being nurtured. Their values ​​vary in the eyes of different people.

The third level contains the secret manuals of martial arts and magical skills.

The third level of the treasure house requires the Taixu Order to open. In Bai Zhixiao's memory, the Taixu Order had been secretly passed on to a man named Ji Tianzhao a long time ago. He was his designated successor and had been practicing in secret, unknown to many people.

In the Taixu Holy Land, few people remember this person. About four hundred years ago, this person was ranked second on the Hidden Dragon List and was extremely talented.

In addition to this treasure house, the true heritage of the Taixu Holy Land is all in the Taixu Secret Realm.

It was a cave world passed down from ancient times. Not only did it contain the true heritage of the Taixu Holy Land, but it was also home to many cultivators, many of whom were antiques who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Even though Chu Zheng now holds the Taixu Order, he does not dare to risk entering the Taixu Secret Realm.

Once his clues were discovered and those old guys became furious, he would not even have a chance to escape. After all, this place was Taixu, and the Taixu Sword was in the starry sky above his head, and could be chopped down at any time.

Although he could not touch the true foundation, the resources stored in the treasure house alone were enough for Chu Zheng to reap rich rewards.

He showed no mercy and cleared out all the cultivation resources on the first and second floors and stuffed them all into the small world.

In a twinkling, the holy land's treasury, which was originally ablaze with brilliant light, became dim. Many Taixu disciples were awakened from their self-cultivation and unconsciously cast their gazes towards the treasury.

Under the gaze of all Taixu disciples, Chu Zheng slowly walked out of the treasure house with a normal look on his face, and he didn't even use the invisibility technique.

In a short while, the elders of the Taixu Holy Land came to greet them. Their expressions changed slightly, and they all bowed and saluted:
"See the Holy Lord!"

"Holy Lord, when did you come back?!"

"Come back to get something."

Chu Zheng spoke calmly, with no expression on his face, and greeted these elders casually.

There was hardly any sense of stagnation during the conversation, as if he himself was Bai Zhixiao.

This is the terrifying part of soul snatching. The more you talk, the easier it is to reveal your true identity.

Chu Zheng no longer paid attention to the Taixu monks who surrounded him. He dealt with them perfunctorily for a while, found an excuse to get away, concealed his tracks all the way, and rushed back to Wanlong City.

…………

…………

More than a month after returning to Wanlong City, news came from Taixu Holy Land that the holy land's treasury was suspected to have been stolen. Contacting the Holy Lord of Taixu was fruitless, and he begged all fellow Taoists to help search for Bai Zhixiao's whereabouts.

The result is self-evident, naturally there is no news at all.

At this point, they still didn't want to believe that the sect's treasury had fallen into the hands of outsiders. They preferred to think that Bai Zhixiao had done this on purpose.

Therefore, the entire Taixu Holy Land was in motion. Many old antiques came out of the Taixu Secret Realm and returned to the world, searching everywhere for Bai Zhixiao's traces.

While the outside world was in an uproar, Chu Zheng no longer planned to use Bai Zhixiao's skin. He was already immersed in the unboxing process.

The wooden boxes on the first floor of the treasury gave him great surprises, and from time to time they would reveal some rare treasures.

Among them, there are many yin and yang medicinal herbs.

With a large amount of spiritual medicines piled up, in just over a month, Chu Zheng's Qi-refining skills broke into the late Golden Core Realm, and the nine magical powers were about to be fully engraved.

With these resources, it is at least enough for him to practice to the point of returning to the void and merging with the Tao, and he doesn't have to worry about resources anymore.

Chu Zheng already had some ideas about how to escape, but it would take time to perfect them.

…………

…………

Although he had already made plans for the next step, an unexpected event caused Chu Zheng's fate to change again.

The special envoy of the Immortal Alliance has arrived in Cangyun in secret. This haste was far beyond Chu Zheng's expectations.

A spiritual letter of summons from Yuanling Holy Land pulled him out of his peaceful practice.

In fact, less than a month after he received the Blood-Transforming Sword, the special envoy of the Immortal Alliance had already arrived in the Cangyun Realm, but he had been investigating in secret and had never rashly contacted Chu Zheng.

However, the one who came was not a true immortal, but a powerful person from the immortal calamity secret realm, who had passed the eighth level of heavenly calamity and was named 'Xiao Heng'.

This special envoy came to Cangyun not to pick up Chu Zhenglijie, but to investigate the incident of the immortal treasure, or in other words, to investigate the cause of death of the two demon kings.

Soon, the special envoy followed the remaining clues of the fairy treasure and found the Yuanling Holy Land, and then directly summoned Shang Liangyi.

In response to the special envoy's questioning, Shang Liangyi still gave the same explanation as before. He said that he saw two evil beasts committing crimes on the road, so he killed them with his magic treasure.

The special envoy did not comment on this statement, but turned around and called Chu Zheng.

…………

…………

The sun was high in the sky, the morning light faded away, and the dew on the branches and leaves rose into thin green smoke under the sunlight.

Chu Zheng looked calm as he slowly walked into the hall. As soon as he entered, he noticed something was wrong.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat tense. A figure sat in the main seat, dressed in a moon-colored robe, with a handsome face and an ethereal aura.

It was Xiao Heng, the special envoy of the Immortal Alliance who came to investigate the matter.

"Chu Zheng, nice to meet the special envoy." Chu Zheng clasped his fists and bowed.

"Saint Lord Taixuan is so young, but he has already achieved great success. He will surely become a pillar of our Immortal Alliance in the future."

Xiao Heng smiled faintly and said, "I asked the Holy Lord to come here this time because I have something to ask you. I heard that when Shang Liangyi activated the immortal treasure, the two demon kings were chasing you?"

"Indeed." Chu Zheng nodded and said frankly: "I heard from the two demon kings that they seemed to be ordered by some Dongsheng demon fairy to come and kill me."

"Oh?"

Chu Zheng's straightforwardness made Xiao Heng's face suddenly stiffen, and he spoke again:
"Why does the Dongsheng Fairy want to kill you?"

"The descendants of the Cangyun demon clan were all wiped out by me. It is normal for the Dongsheng demon fairy to want to kill me."

Chu Zheng did not show much anger, but at this moment, his heart was beating like a drum.

In front of Xiao Heng, some obvious lies could not stand up to scrutiny, so one could only tell the truth.

"I will write a letter to the Immortal Alliance and ask the True Immortal to come forward and verify it with the Dongsheng Demon Immortal. If it is true, I will definitely give you an explanation at that time."

Xiao Heng's face was cold and righteous. He stood up and walked out of the hall:

"During this period of time, please ask Taixuan Saint Lord to stay in Wanlong City and wait for the Immortal Alliance's reply."

Chu Zheng looked at his departing back, his eyes gradually darkening. The moment he saw Xiao Heng, the calamity energy around him began to surge.

If he didn't tell the truth and avoided the question, Xiao Heng would probably attack him on the spot. Given the huge gap in their realms, he might not be his opponent even with a semi-immortal treasure in his hand.

Now that the matter has been made clear, Chu Zheng has made a decision and can make plans to escape.

…………

…………

A few days later, Chu Zheng's expression suddenly changed. He used his magical power of disguise and quickly transformed into Bai Zhixiao's appearance.

A jade disk emerged from his palm and instantly turned into a water mirror, reflecting the other side of the galaxy.

"You bastard who doesn't keep his word! I've already given you the magic treasure, why are you still betraying me?!"

The moment the water mirror emerged, the Dongsheng Demon Fairy's gritting teeth could be heard, filled with brutal murderous intent.

At this moment, her eyes were wide open, her body was shaking uncontrollably, and demonic patterns appeared on her fair face because she could no longer suppress the demonic energy that was about to boil over.

There was a spark of light hovering above her fingertips, it was a message.

"What do you mean?" Chu Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, somewhat surprised. Could it be that Xiao Heng really helped him deliver the letter?
"If you hadn't said it yourself, Feng Yue and the other two would never have mentioned my name. If it weren't for you, how could Chu Zheng know that I was the one behind it?!"

Dongsheng Demon Fairy calmed down his anger, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "If you want to die, I will grant your wish."

"This letter is in your hand..."

Chu Zheng came back to his senses, looked at the spiritual light on the fingertips of Dongsheng Fairy, narrowed his eyes suddenly, and said slowly:
"Is Xiao Heng also yours?"

This message is here, and the Dongsheng demon fairy is still safe and sound. There is no need to explain the reason.
