When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 869 The plan is revealed
Zhou Qingyun didn't think that she could find any evidence against the Zhou family with just a few words. It was just a confrontation between the two sides, and she just wanted to take the upper hand first.

If we say that this matter was just a small matter of possessing a treasure before the Zhou family took action, then when the Zhou family tried to force Zhou Qingyun to surrender by using their relatives and teachers, it had become a dispute over the great power.

The golden elixir examines the heart and the primordial spirit eliminates delusions.

Zhou Qingyun, who had already achieved Yin God in [Dust and Floating World], knew it more clearly that if one had a bad thought and had a heart of submission, his Tao heart would be damaged. When facing the heart barrier, it would be difficult to achieve perfection. Even if he could still achieve a high-grade golden elixir, he would no longer have a chance to achieve a first-grade golden elixir.

This is also one of the most sinister means used by the aristocratic families. If the surrendered people are still outstanding, how can the master control them? Only by pulling the talented people down from the clouds and dragging them into the mortal world can they subdue them with resources, etiquette, and power.

When it comes to spiritual practice, resources are the most important thing, whether it's the inheritance of Taoism or elixirs and vitality, they are all the foundation of spiritual practice. The aristocratic families control these resources and they already have the upper hand, but there are always geniuses in the world who come from poor backgrounds but have good qualifications and can carve out a smooth path to the sky with just a few resources.

When faced with such geniuses, the aristocratic families would use the above-mentioned methods to pull them into their own camp and corrupt them, and would often offer preferential treatment such as horse bones worth thousands of gold.

There are countless poor geniuses whose talents far surpass those of the children of aristocratic families, but who gradually lost their desire to win due to such means, and thus truly became slaves of the aristocratic families, willing to serve those children of aristocratic families who are essentially far inferior to themselves.

On the one hand, they control resources and take advantage of opportunities, and on the other hand, they suppress outsiders and corrupt their minds. Such means are the basis for the aristocratic families to pass on their power for thousands of years and forever.

Although the Zhou family is still young, the methods they have learned are almost the same as those of the families in Middle-earth that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

Those who don't understand the connection between the two might choose to give in due to the power of the Zhou family. After all, the Zhou family has adopted an attitude of respecting the wise and humble, so they have a way out.

Besides, joining the Zhou family can indeed obtain a lot of resources. It is also a good idea to eat the sugar coating and fight back with the cannonballs.

But for Zhou Qingyun, who saw the essence of the matter, this fight was a fight for the great way, and there was no reason to give in.

I don't know how many similar things this kind of family has manipulated. Anyone who thinks they can pretend to submit first and then plan for the future will have their spirits worn down by the various means used by the family.

The conversation was not concluded, Zhou Leng did not say any more harsh words, and simply turned around and left.

For the Zhou family, the situation escalated to a higher level the moment Zhou Qingyun refused.

After all, there have been rumors in the outside world that if they fail here, it will not only be a serious blow to the reputation of the Zhou family, but will also make those who have already been conquered have inappropriate thoughts.

Yuejiang Island.

"Zhi'er." Seeing his daughter still unwilling to pay attention to him, Luo Xing said helplessly, "This matter was decided by all the teachers, and the beneficiary is your father, how can I intervene?"

"If I deny this matter and protect Qingyun, wouldn't it make the teachers and leaders appear to be indifferent and unkind? Where will they be?"

"Yes, yes, yes. If you say that, then it will become that the teachers and leaders fight for your fame and fortune, and are willing to sacrifice their disciples. But you are only concerned about your own reputation. How can you face the teachers and leaders?" Luo Zhi said unhappily, "So, for the sake of each other's reputation, you watch Zhou persecute my Yuejiang Island disciples and do nothing?"

"Aren't you afraid that your disciples will become disloyal and lose faith with you?"

"Luo Zhi, they are all your teachers, you are not allowed to make irresponsible comments!"

Luo Zhi still looked at his father stubbornly, his eyes red as he said, "In this case, why don't you sell me to the Zhou family as well!"

Luo Xing looked at the girl who didn't give in at all, and said slowly: "This matter is not as simple as you think. The Zhou family is very meticulous in doing things, and there is no mistake at all. Qingyun's parents have already recognized their ancestors and returned to the Zhou family. In this way, it becomes that Qingyun has betrayed her relatives and ancestors, which is not righteous."

"If Qingyun had a personal teacher on my Yuejiang Island, we would still have the qualifications to step forward, as parents and teachers are all our elders. But Qingyun has only joined our Yuejiang lineage to practice, and has not become a disciple. What position do we have to step forward for Qingyun?" "Yes, Qingyun has not become a disciple, so in your eyes she is not even considered a member of the Yuejiang lineage. This is why you don't want to stand up for her against the Zhou family and damage your own interests." Luo Zhi said coldly.

"But don't forget, Qingyun is a disciple who was promoted from the lower house of the Dao League, and has automatically obtained the position of the true disciple. In the past, she was able to go to the Tai'a World with me. Maybe she has been regarded as a hidden person by the master and is being investigated."

"Now, the short-sighted actions of Yuejiang Island may have caught the eyes of our master and are being scrutinized."

"Alas!" Luo Xing sighed, "I actually hope what you said is true. Qingyun is your close friend, and I watched her grow up. How can I not hope that she can have a bright future?"

"But this matter involves the Zhou family, and we, the Yuejiang Island lineage, cannot afford to fight for it. We can only give in. This is the instruction of our master, and we must not violate it."

After hearing his father's heartfelt words, Luo Zhi finally calmed down.

Because she knew that this was the fundamental reason. The founder of the Yuejiang Island lineage was just an elder of the Three Immortals Island. Even though Patriarch Tang bestowed grace and treated everyone equally, he even allocated places for true disciples.

But after all, it is different from the direct lineage of Master Zhou Ju and Master Zhou Yao.

The Zhou family is not only a close family of these two ancestors, but also has many disciples who have joined the direct lineage. Its power is far greater than that of Yuejiang.

Therefore, Master Jiang had long ago instructed his disciples to avoid disputes with others, and even if they did, they should be more tolerant.

Luo Xing looked at his depressed daughter and said to comfort her: "From what I see, the Zhou family is only trying to win over Qing Yun. For her, even if she joins the Zhou family, she will not be treated harshly. She may even have more cultivation resources than now."

Luo Zhi, who had calmed down, became furious again after hearing this. He stared at Luo Xing, who looked ashamed, and then said, "Qingyun is already a Yin God in the floating world. She can get any resources she wants. Why does she need to live under someone else's roof? Once she is subdued by the Zhou family, they will be able to use their righteousness to suppress others in the future. Wouldn't Qingyun become a fish on the chopping board?"

Luo Zhi added, "The reason why Qingyun didn't become your disciple is because you are not qualified to teach her. If I remember correctly, you, father, are just a Yin God in the world!"

After speaking his heart out in one breath, Luo Zhi left the house, leaving his old father alone and in a mess.

But no matter how resentful Luo Zhi was, she was just a junior on Yuejiang Island who had just gained the qualifications to recruit disciples and had no say.

When she arrived at Zhou Qingyun's cave, she found that there was someone else visiting besides her, and that person was the Mo Palace exchange disciple Shen Zhimei.

"How did you come?"

"I have been in seclusion for some time to study a puppet. I just came out yesterday and heard these rumors. Today I wanted to come and see Qingyun."

Although Fang Zhi still feels jealous of Shen Zhimei, after a hundred years of living together, the two have become good friends.

"You also know the status of the Zhou family in the sect. Qingyun is really in trouble this time." Luo Zhi said, and suddenly stared at Shen Zhimei with eager eyes, "You are the distinguished guests specially invited by Grandmaster Zhou. Can you come with..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a clear voice coming from the cave, "Don't create problems for Zhi Meitian. This matter is only related to me and the Zhou family, and it should not involve others."

Shen Zhimei looked at Zhou Qingyun, who was still as elegant as ever, and said solemnly, "In the past, Immortal Zhou Ju said that if we have any problems in the Earthly Immortal Realm, we can seek his help."

Zhou Qingyun pulled the girl over and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter. I have a solution. Maybe this is where I need your help."
