Lu Hai led dozens of strong men from the Lu family and were all killed by a mysterious strong man in Black Wind Ridge. Naturally, such a big news could not be concealed. The situation in the Lu family had already exploded, and the whole Qingyang City was full of rumors.
, the other four major families naturally also learned the news.
…
In the Qin family meeting hall.
"Although Zhou Luoxue and Zhou Jinyuan have been missing for more than ten years, the Zhou family was the strongest family in Qingyang City back then, and their influence still existed. It would be normal if a mysterious strong man took action for the Zhou family. If this black-clothed family
The person was arranged by Zhou Luoxue and his wife, so the matter became a bit tricky. In fact, the current Zhou family has no value to our Qin family. We have no reason to take action. The only thing that interests me is the so-called Zhou Luoxue Liu.
The ultimate treasure."
The person who spoke was Qin Nanshan, the head of the Qin family. There was a trace of solemnity on his face at this time. If this mysterious man in black robe is the back-up man left by Zhou Luoxue and his wife, he needs to be treated with caution. After all, he is in the Nascent Soul realm.
The Qin family cannot bear the anger of a strong man.
"Father, although there is news that Zhou Luoxue left a treasure in the Zhou family ancestral hall when he left, we don't know what it is. If this thing attracts revenge from Zhou Luoxue and his wife, it will be more gain than loss."
The speaker was Qin Lang, the young master of the Qin family. He was also the father of Qin Rilong and Qin Ritian. At this time, there was a look of worry on his face. When he was young, he had met Zhou Luoxue, and his strong aura left a deep impression on him.
Deep impression.
Although Qin Ritian died in the Tianyuan Sect, the father didn't seem to care at all, and he never went to the Tianyuan Sect to ask. After all, he knew his son's virtues clearly, and something would happen sooner or later, but for Qin Rilong, he
It's very important.
Qin Nantian nodded and said: "You are right, the anger of Zhou Luoxue and his wife cannot be ignored, but the treasure they left behind must be extraordinary after they spent so much time arranging it. Who can be truly indifferent? Human nature is always greedy.
The Zhou family can survive to this day precisely because they don’t know what the treasure is, so the major families have not taken action. There is not only one family that is interested in this treasure. No matter who takes action first, they will eventually have to face the other families.
No one wants to do a thankless thing to rob, and there is also the existence of the City Lord's Mansion. I think back then, Zhou Luoxue and his wife were close friends with the City Lord and his wife. Although they would not interfere in the affairs of each family due to their status, if anyone were to attack them without reason.
If the Zhou family takes action, the City Lord's Mansion will not sit back and ignore it, so if you really want to take action, you must have a suitable reason."
"Then what should our Qin family do next?" Qin Lang also felt that the matter was complicated, but said unwillingly.
"Of course I, the Qin family, will not be the first person, but we will not give up just yet. Whoever is more anxious at this time will suffer more. The strength of the Lu family has grown rapidly in recent years, and Lu Yuncheng has been coveting the Zhou family's treasure for a long time. This time
Lu Hai was killed by a mysterious man again. With Lu Yuncheng's temper, he must be unable to sit still. As long as the Lu family doesn't take action, other families will definitely not take action first. Once the Lu family takes action, we can respond flexibly according to the situation. In short
, with the strength of the Lu family, it is just wishful thinking to exclusively enjoy this treasure."
"Father is wise!"
The Qin family, the Xing family, the Lin family, and the Zhao family are all families that have been working in Qingyang City for nearly a thousand years. Their family backgrounds are almost the same, and these old family heads are not stupid people. The city is extremely deep, even if Zhou Chen killed them
Outstanding children within the family will not do impulsive things. For them, a family heir is insignificant compared to the interests of the entire family. And they all have similar ideas, and no one wants to take the initiative to be the first.
, since the Lu family is willing to do it, they naturally accept it happily. Not only will they not stop it, but they will secretly fuel the situation. After all, no one can guarantee that Zhou Luoxue and his wife will not return to Qingyang City one day, but even if Zhou Luoxue and Zhou Jinyuan come back to take revenge in the future,
The anger was also directed at the Lu family first.
…
Qingyang City, which is usually quiet and peaceful, has become a lot more lively because of the Lu family's affairs. The Black Fengling incident has become a source of gossip for people after dinner, and the mysterious man in black robes has been praised as a god. Zhou Chen is a trick.
Wearing a black robe, he was sitting quietly in a teahouse drinking tea. He listened with a calm expression as the people around him discussed the news that Lu Hai was killed by a mysterious man. After all, Lu Hai was a Foundation Establishment Realm Dzogchen.
A strong man who is about to enter the Cave Heaven Realm at one point is quite famous in this remote place.
Zhou Chen was sitting by the window on the top floor of the teahouse. From this position, he could just see the main door of the Lu family. As long as there was any movement in the Lu family, he would be informed of it immediately.
Zhou Chen was idly drinking tea. He needed to keep an eye on the Lu family at all times and could not focus on cultivating the Nine Heavens Hunyuan Pearl. As Lie Tianzun said, it was a waste of time, but he could not directly kill the Lu family and force the Lu family to do so.
All of them were slaughtered. Zhou Chen was always thinking about how to set up a trap to catch all the strong men of the Lu family and solve the problem of Qingyang City as soon as possible.
I saw that the door of the Lu family opened, and a middle-aged man in white robes with an upright figure and an extraordinary temperament walked out. It was Lu Chuan, the young master of the Lu family.
Lu Chuan glanced around briefly and quietly walked into an alley.
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, concealed his aura, disappeared directly on the spot, and followed immediately.
Zhou Chen followed Lu Chuan through dozens of alleys. These alleys were sparsely populated and no one would pass by them on weekdays. If he had to do something, Lu Chuan would not go through the alleys. Zhou Chen guessed that Lu Chuan must be so secretive.
We are going to have a secret meeting with someone, and this person may be Zhou Jintian. Zhou Chen does not intend to kill him. Lu Chuan is the contact person between the Lu family and the Zhou family's internal ghosts, and is a key figure. Killing him will make it inconvenient for Zhou Chen's plan to be implemented.
.
After walking for half an hour, Lu Chuan stopped in front of a small courtyard door. He pressed his right hand on the door. There was a flash of light around him. The courtyard door was opened and Lu Chuan stepped in.
This small courtyard was obviously shrouded in an array. After Lu Chuan entered, Zhou Chen appeared in front of the small courtyard door. This was just a level three induction array. As long as someone entered the array, it would be sensed inside.
But this method was naturally not a problem for Zhou Chen. A piece of talisman appeared in Zhou Chen's hand, which was the formation-breaking talisman. However, Zhou Chen did not forcefully break it, but only temporarily cut off the formation along the formation path.
He made contact, opened a hole at the edge of the formation, turned on the stealth mode, and ducked directly into the courtyard. After a few breaths, the formation automatically recovered.
Zhou Chen released his spiritual consciousness and determined Lu Chuan's location. In a blink of an eye, he came to the window. Through the detection of his spiritual consciousness, he found that there were two people in the house.
"Why are you here with me?" An old and deep voice sounded from inside the house.
"There's something I need to confirm with you." Zhou Chen recognized Lu Chuan's voice.
"What happened at Black Wind Ridge?"
"Yes, do you know who that person is?"
"I don't know who the man in black robe is."
"Isn't it invited by your Zhou family?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, was he really a member of the Zhou family? Although Zhou Chen had expected it, he still didn't want Lu Chuan to meet the Zhou family.
"As far as I know, the Zhou family didn't ask for any help."
"Let's leave this matter aside for now. How much time do you need to open that formation?"
"I already know how to open that formation. The key secret key is Zhou Chen's blood essence."
"Zhou Chen's essence and blood? According to the news I got, Zhou Chen has left Tianyuan Sect and his whereabouts are unknown. Didn't you say it in vain?"
"Although Zhou Chen left the Tianyuan Sect, he will definitely return to the Zhou family. The formation was set up by the couple, and the treasure was also left to Zhou Chen, so he will definitely come back to get it."
"My father has no patience anymore. You'd better handle this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame our Lu family for using strong tactics. I'm afraid your demands won't be met by then."
"I will take control of the Zhou family as soon as possible. As long as Zhou Chen comes back, the formation can be broken. But you can't go back on what you promised me."
"I'll give you a month. If there's still no progress, don't blame me, the Lu family, for being ruthless, hum!"
The door was opened. Lu Chuan walked out of the room and walked out of the courtyard. Zhou Chen outside the door quickly entered the invisible state and jumped directly onto the roof beam of the corridor. Zhou Chen did not follow Lu Chuan. He also wanted to confirm.
, who is in the room?
After a while, a man in black robe walked out of the room and slowly walked out of the small courtyard. The brim of the man's hat was pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly. This black robe also seemed to have the function of isolating the breath, but Zhou Chen passed
From the figure of the man in black robe and his understanding of Zhou Jintian, he realized that the man in black robe did not look like Zhou Jintian, and the last time Zhou Jintian appeared in Tianbao Pavilion, he was not wearing any black robe.
After the man in black robe walked out of the small courtyard, he disappeared directly, which shows that this person's level is not low. The existence of the induction formation makes Zhou Chen dare not easily follow him by force. Moreover, it is not worth the gain to scare the snake at this moment. After all, the Zhou family is internally
This mole is not the only one who is still unsure. Although he wants to confirm the identity of the man in black, if exposed at this time, it will make the other party wary and affect the overall situation. Anyway, the current initiative is still in his own hands.
As long as Zhou Chen doesn't show up at Zhou's house, the other party doesn't have much to do.
The key is his own essence and blood. Zhou Chen deliberately let Zhou Zhen leak this matter. Zhou Chen hopes that things can speed up. If he remains in such a stalemate, he will never be able to solve the internal problems of the Zhou family. Things in Qingyang City will not be solved.
After dealing with it, Zhou Chen could not leave the Northern Territory with peace of mind.
After returning to Qingyang City from Heifengling, Zhou Chen had already visited Zhou's house and briefly explained his plan to Zhou Zhen, asking Zhou Zhen to cooperate with him in implementing it. However, only four people knew the news.
The second elder, fourth elder, fifth elder, sixth elder, and third elder were still on their way back from Tianyin City at this time, so they were excluded.
"I didn't expect that the Zhou family has become so rotten inside. I'm afraid things are more serious than what seems. Who could this person be?"
Zhou Chen frowned and murmured secretly. Judging from the current situation, apart from Zhou Zhen, there is probably no one in the entire Zhou family who can be completely trusted. Even if the man in black robe just now was not one of the elders,
It must also be related to a certain elder.
"The Lu family still wants to wait a month, but I can't wait any longer. If you don't take action, I will force you to take action. Let the storm come sooner."
…
As night fell, Zhou Chen quietly sneaked into Zhou's house again. After taking the saint's essence and blood last time, the formation eyes were also destroyed, and the formation set up by Zhou Luoxue had stopped functioning.
The eye of the magic circle is the bottle of saint's menstrual blood. Although it is a six-level magic circle that operates autonomously, with the saint's essence and blood as the eye, even the strong Nascent Soul cannot break it, because the saint's blood essence and blood exudes slightly.
Its power is also terrifying, and its energy source continuously provides energy for the magic circle and maintains its operation.
However, judging from today's conversation between Lu Chuan and the man in black robes, they have not yet discovered that the formation has stopped functioning. Zhou Chen plans to come back to repair the formation's holes and make up for this loophole in time.
Zhou Chen did not disturb Zhou Zhen. Zhou Zhen's room was isolated by the formation. Zhou Chen guessed from the slight fluctuation in the room that he should be at the critical moment of breaking into the Cave Heaven Realm.
Zhou Chen came directly to the ancestral hall. This time Zhou Chen planned to use the Five Elements Bagua Flag to provide power for the formation and temporarily maintain the operation of the formation. The formation set up by Zhou Luoxue was a six-level formation. Although Zhou Chen could not arrange it now,
It is impossible to master it, but it can still be done to provide the power of the formation eye and allow it to operate autonomously.
Zhou Chen inserted the formation flag into the formation, using the formation flag as an eye to provide the power for the operation of the formation. After this period of training, the number of formation patterns on the formation flag has reached 3,000, which can last for at least ten days.
Although the power of its operation cannot be compared with before, ordinary people cannot tell it just from the appearance.
Of course, what Zhou Chen wants to do is not only this, he also wants to lay out a five-level killing array based on the original formation. Currently, Zhou Chen can draw and carve five thousand array patterns, and with the cooperation of the array flags, he can barely arrange it.
A five-level formation.
…
Lu family meeting hall.
"Chuan'er, send more people out to search for Zhou Chen's traces in the cities on the road from Tianyuan Sect to Qingyang City. We must find him and bring back his blood, life or death, and arrange for manpower to monitor the Zhou family.
, once you find Zhou Chen appears, come back and report immediately."
Lu Yuncheng's face was a little anxious. In the past few days, the entire Qingyang City was talking about the Black Wind Ridge, pointing fingers at the Lu family as if they were a joke, which made him extremely angry. The Lu family has developed rapidly in the past few years, and it has also made the Lu family's
Everyone is a little bloated, and they cannot afford to suffer.
"Father, wouldn't this be too laborious? There are at least dozens of Tianyuan Sects in Qingyang City. Our Lu family can only mobilize more than 60 people in the foundation building realm. We also have to protect the family's resource points, so the manpower is a bit tight.
ah."
Lu Chuan looked a little helpless. He knew the situation of the Lu family very well, and he was also responsible for manpower mobilization on weekdays.
"I have a feeling that we can't wait any longer. The Zhou family has already begun to take precautions. The man in black robe helped last time, and I don't know what strong person will be invited next time. The more time we give them, the more passive we will be. Now that we have
Knowing that the key to unlocking the formation is Zhou Chen's blood essence, there is no need to wait any longer. As long as you get Zhou Chen's blood essence, all problems will be solved. With me and your Uncle Nan sitting in charge of the Lu family, who dares to touch the resource points?
, all the people were spared to help find the person."
Lu Yuncheng's attitude is very resolute. He is famous for his fiery temper and his love of face. He is also well known in Qingyang City.
"Father, I always feel that something is a little strange." Lu Chuan frowned slightly, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Our Lu family and Zhou family have been fighting to the death for a long time. You told me to endure it when Fei Yu was crippled. Now Lu Hai has also died at the hands of the Zhou family. Everyone in Qingyang City is watching my Lu family joke.
, how do you want me to endure it?"
Lu Yuncheng clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he hated the Zhou family deeply in his heart. With his fiery temper, his patience had reached its limit. No matter whether Zhou Luoxue and his wife would retaliate in the future, he didn't care. He just wanted to get that right now.
A treasure, maybe once you get the treasure, you no longer need to be afraid of Zhou Luoxue and his wife.
"Yes, father." Lu Chuan was a little helpless, but he also knew his father's temper, and I'm afraid it would be useless to persuade him.
