A person hurriedly ran in from outside the door, it was the young master of the Lu family, Lu Chuan.
"Father, something bad has happened!" Lu Chuan's face looked extremely ugly.
"Why are you panicking?"
Lu Yuncheng looked at Lu Chuan's expression and had a premonition that something big had happened. He immediately stood up from the chair, his palms trembling slightly. His eyelids had been twitching these past few days, always feeling that something was going to happen. When he saw Lu Chuan's appearance, he felt in his heart
I couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Several of our resource points were pulled out, and more than fifty people died. The third elder, fourth elder, and sixth elder were also killed..."
Lu Chuan's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit. He did not dare to raise his head and look at Lu Yuncheng. He did not dare to imagine how horribly angry Lu Yuncheng would be if he told this news.
puff!
Lu Yuncheng spat out a mouthful of blood and slumped down on the chair. His face instantly turned pale, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he stared blankly ahead, with disbelief in his eyes. There were only six Foundation Establishment masters from the Zhou family.
Four of the perfect experts had been killed in just a few days, which made Lu Yuncheng so angry that his brain bloodshot surged.
"Father..." Lu Chuan looked at Lu Yuncheng worriedly. He knew that Lu Yuncheng was so angry that he vomited blood.
"What's going on?" Lu Yuncheng gasped, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
When Lu Chuan saw that Lu Yuncheng had calmed down a little, he narrated what happened and handed the Zhou family token left by Zhou Chen to Lu Yuncheng.
After Zhou Chen killed Lu Yunling, he went to two more resource points and killed the fourth elder and the sixth elder. He did not intend to kill all the strong men of the Lu family. He also wanted the Lu family to continue this show. The Lu family
If the show cannot continue, then how many cancers there are within the Zhou family will not come to light.
"Gather everyone together, including all the Foundation Establishment Realm experts sent to search for Zhou Chen. I will destroy the entire Zhou family!" Lu Yuncheng looked at the Zhou family token in his hand, extremely angry, and his face became extremely ferocious. At this moment, he was
I really can't bear it anymore.
"Father, the Zhou family still has a magic circle. We don't have Zhou Chen's blood, so we still can't get the treasure."
"Don't worry about that treasure. I want the entire Zhou family to bury the dead people of my Lu family! If the Zhou family is destroyed, I don't believe that Zhou Chen won't show up."
"yes!"
…
While Lu Yuncheng was furious, Zhou Chen was already drinking tea leisurely in the teahouse. Seeing the panicked people coming in and out of the Lu family's gate, Zhou Chen smiled slightly. This time he killed more than sixty strong men of the Zhou family.
, and also robbed more than 60 Najies, which contained more than 15 million spiritual stones and some odds and ends.
"The Lu family shouldn't be able to sit still now." Zhou Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly.
As night falls, the Lu family's courtyard is brightly lit. Hundreds of strong men are standing in the courtyard. No one speaks, and everyone's face is solemn. They all know what happened at the Lu family's resource point. The three foundation-building realm
In the Great Perfection, dozens of powerful people in the Foundation Establishment Realm were beheaded. This news was so shocking that it made everyone feel uneasy. In just a few days, plus the powerful people in the Xiantian Realm who were killed, the Lu family was already dead.
Nearly a hundred people.
"Father, most of the people who were sent out have returned, except for the five worshipers, I'm afraid..." Lu Chuan's face was quite ugly. Although there was no definite news, he felt that these five worshipers who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm would not be able to come back.
Lu Yuncheng felt a cramp in his heart. He slowly closed his eyes, frowned, pressed his right hand tightly on his chest, and took a deep breath. During this period, it was like having a nightmare, with constant bad things happening.
When the news reached his ears, his heart was shocked again and again. The man in black robe lingered in his mind like a ghost.
"Set off immediately to destroy the Zhou family!"
…
The Zhou family meeting hall was full of people at the moment. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some looked solemn, some looked plain, and some had weird looks. Zhou Zhen looked at the people in the room calmly.
, observing the changes in expressions on everyone's faces, the Zhou family's informants have informed Zhou Zhen about the Lu family's affairs, and now everyone in the Zhou family also knows that the Lu family has gathered strength to attack the Zhou family.
"Let's talk about it. Now is the time of life and death for my Zhou family. Everyone, please tell me whatever you think." Zhou Zhen sat on the central seat, looked around and said lightly.
"Master, the Lu family is coming fiercely. With our current strength, we cannot fight against it." The speaker was Xu Hongshan, the worshiper of the Zhou family.
"What suggestions does Xu Gongfeng have?" Zhou Zhen glanced at Xu Hongshan and said lightly.
"I suggest negotiating with the Lu family and offering compensation." Xu Hongshan said calmly without changing his expression.
"My Zhou family didn't do anything to the Lu family, why should we compensate?" the third elder said, with anger in his tone.
"Although our Zhou family didn't do anything, outsiders think that the black-robed man was the helper of my Zhou family. Now that the Lu family has pointed the finger at us, we can't defend ourselves." Xu Hongshan continued.
"Does everyone support Xu Gongfeng's suggestion?" Zhou Zhen asked the crowd.
Everyone in the field was talking a lot, some supported the peace talks and compensation, some said they would defend the Zhou family to the death, and some remained silent. Zhou Zhen saw all this.
Zhou Zhen said nothing and kept watching the reactions of everyone present.
"Even if my Zhou family is willing to compensate, the Lu family may not accept it. Apart from these, do you have any other suggestions?" Zhou Zhen said again.
"I suggest that the treasure in the ancestral hall be given to the Lu family in exchange for the safety of hundreds of people in my Zhou family." It was the second elder who spoke.
Zhou Zhen frowned tightly. He said those words just to bring out the matter about the treasure. Unexpectedly, it was his second brother who spoke, and his heart was extremely twisted.
Zhou Chen had been standing in a hidden corner of the meeting hall, isolated by his black robe, so no one could detect his presence.
"Have you finally come out..." Zhou Chen also looked a little sad. Although he had already suspected the second elder, but now he confirmed it, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. After all, he was his second grandfather.
"Second brother, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhou Zhen shouted angrily, a little annoyed and disappointed.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about. Over the years, my Zhou family has been suppressed by other families and has been constantly being cannibalized and declined. It's because of the existence of this treasure. If it hadn't been for this treasure that attracted the covetousness of other families, my Zhou family wouldn't be the same.
As for being reduced to such a situation." The second elder did not show any guilt and replied with a serious face. In his eyes, this so-called treasure is simply a disaster. As long as the treasure is handed over, the Zhou family will be able to find peace.
"Those are things left by Jin Yuan and Luo Xue. They are for Chen'er. We have no right to deal with them." Zhou Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
"That was a good deed done by your son and daughter-in-law, and it was the disaster they caused. Why should we, the whole Zhou family, bear the responsibility? You only care about your own grandson and not the lives of the entire clan. Are you worthy of being the head of the family?"
"Second brother, you have said so much because you just want the position of the head of the family, right?" Zhou Zhen looked at his second brother with a sad look in his eyes.
"I don't want the position of head of the family. I don't think I have the ability. However, I think my son Jintian is fully qualified. With his ability, he will definitely restore the Zhou family to its former glory."
"Jintian, come out." The second elder shouted towards the door of the lobby.
Zhou Jintian, who had disappeared for several days, appeared at the door of the council hall and then walked slowly into the council hall.
"It seems that you have already made arrangements." Zhou Zhen said coldly.
"Brother, please stop being stubborn. I have made an agreement with the Lu family. As long as we hand over that treasure, we can protect the lives of hundreds of people in my Zhou family."
"Shut up!" Zhou Zhen got angry and shouted sternly.
Everyone in the hall had different expressions, some were glaring at the second elder angrily, and some had faint smiles on their faces.
"Master, the Lu family has invaded!" A guard rushed into the meeting hall in a panic.
"Remove all defensive forces and invite the Lu family in." Zhou Zhen became calm at this moment. Since the matter has come to this, pointless resistance will only increase casualties.
"Yes, the head of the family." The guard was a little confused, but since it was the order of the head of the family, he could only follow it.
After a while, Lu Yuncheng entered the meeting hall with nearly a hundred strong men from the Lu family.
"Zhou Zhen, today is the day your Zhou family will be exterminated!" As soon as Lu Yuncheng came in, he shouted angrily at Zhou Zhen, and the anger on his face burst out without concealment.
"Master Lu, our Zhou family is willing to offer you the most precious treasure, please calm down!" the second elder said quickly.
"Zhou Qi, are you in charge of the Zhou family now?" Lu Yuncheng looked at the second elder. He had an agreement with the second elder. Although he had to destroy the Zhou family today, it would save a lot if the Zhou family could give him the treasure first.
trouble.
"Master Lu, I am handling this matter, please wait a moment."
"Oh? Since there is something exciting to watch, I don't mind waiting a little longer." Lu Yuncheng sneered, with amusement on his face. The Zhou family was in doom today, so he didn't mind watching one more show.
"Brother, do you really want to persist in your stubbornness?" The second elder turned to Zhou Zhen and said. He did not call Zhou Zhen the head of the family, because in his eyes, Zhou Zhen was no longer worthy of being the head of the Zhou family.
"Second brother, I won't talk to you too much. Since you don't agree with me and elect Jintian to succeed the family head, let's vote. If everyone supports Jintian, it's not a bad idea for me to hand over my position as the family head."
Zhou Zhen looked around and said calmly that he had no nostalgia for the position of the head of the family, but just wanted to see what was going on inside the Zhou family.
"Those who support Jintian's succession as head of the family, step forward." The second elder said.
The second elder took a step forward, the sixth elder also took a step forward, and the third elder, the fourth elder and the fifth elder stayed put.
"Second brother, it seems that there are not many people supporting you." Zhou Zhen said calmly, feeling a little relieved in his heart. The result was better than he imagined. At least the Zhou family was not hopelessly bad.
"Since it's a vote, all the Zhou family members present should have the right to choose." The second elder looked calm, as if he had anticipated this situation.
The five Zhou family priests in the field all took a step forward, except for an old priest, who was the oldest priest in the Zhou family.
"Brother, there should be no objections this time." The second elder looked at Zhou Zhen and said calmly.
Zhou Zhen smiled slightly and said to Zhou Jintian: "Jintian, are you willing to inherit the position of the head of the family?"
The second elder looked at Jintian with a smile on his face. Zhou Zhen's words showed that he had given up and the matter had been completely implemented.
"I don't want to!" Zhou Jintian replied coldly.
"What?" The smile on the second elder's face froze instantly, and he looked at Zhou Jintian blankly, wondering if his ears heard it correctly.
"Second brother, did you hear that? Jintian doesn't want to." Zhou Zhen looked at the second elder with a smile.
"Gui Zi, what are you talking about?" The second elder yelled at Zhou Jintian angrily.
"I am willing to accept my great grandfather as the head of the family. Father, don't be stubborn. My eldest brother and sister-in-law have been kind to our Zhou family. We cannot repay kindness with enmity. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the Zhou family should work together instead of fighting for power!" Zhou Jintian said sincerely.
Said to the second elder.
Before the Lu family took action, Zhou Jintian had quietly returned to the Zhou family and informed Zhou Zhen about what the second elder had done, and hoped that Zhou Zhen would not embarrass the second elder too much. After all, his original intention was just to protect the Zhou family. In fact, that
Rizhou Jintian appeared in Tianbao Pavilion just pretending to cooperate with the second elder. His purpose was to find out the content of the negotiation between the second elder and the Lu family and find an opportunity to stop it all. However, his power alone was too small, so he could only hide in secret and look for opportunities.
Zhou Luoxue and Zhou Jinyuan had saved his life back then, and now he was able to shoulder the responsibility in the Zhou family because of Zhou Luoxue's advice. For this sister-in-law, Zhou Jintian felt extremely grateful and respected, and when they left, he had told
Let him protect the Zhou family well. It is impossible for him to betray the Zhou family, let alone Zhou Luoxue.
"Shut up, you traitor! Do you want the whole Zhou family to be buried with me?" The second elder was so angry that everything he had worked so hard for was destroyed in the hands of his son.
"What a bloody drama. Is it over? Zhou Qi, it seems your plan failed, but it doesn't matter. I have no intention of fulfilling my agreement with you anyway. The Zhou family will all die today!" Lu Yuncheng sneered.
Looking at the second elder, he had no intention of letting the Zhou family go, he just wanted to see the internal strife in the Zhou family.
"Master Lu, even if you kill all the Zhou family, you still can't open the ancestral hall formation. Please give me some time, I will definitely..." The second elder said with a bitter look on his face.
"Zhou Qi, how much time have I given you? It's useless whatever you say today. You can only blame your own incompetence." Lu Yuncheng interrupted the second elder and said coldly.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly there was a sudden, childish voice in the field.
"Zhou Chen?" Everyone looked at Zhou Chen who suddenly appeared in surprise. Lu Yuncheng's face showed joy, and his eyes were full of greed, as if he had seen a treasure.
"Old Gou Lu, don't you just want that treasure? I can give it to you, but I'm afraid you won't dare to ask for it." Zhou Chen said calmly with a smile on his face.
"You brat, I haven't settled the matter with you about Feiyu yet. Since you showed up today, I will destroy you first and then use your blood and essence to create a magic circle."
Lu Yuncheng's face was ferocious. Thinking of his favorite grandson being beaten into a cripple by Zhou Chen, the anger in his heart burst out uncontrollably.
"Can you swallow this treasure by the Lu family? Why don't you wait a little longer until everyone is here? I want to see how many people covet the Zhou family's treasure." Zhou Chen planned to do it without stopping.
All the families that coveted the Zhou family's treasure were wiped out in one fell swoop.
"Don't waste time here. I will destroy your Zhou family today, and no one can stop me!" Lu Yuncheng said coldly, preparing to order the strong men of the Lu family to take action.
"What about me?" A rich male voice suddenly sounded outside the door. When everyone heard this voice, they quickly turned their heads to look.
"Lu Yuncheng, you are very powerful. You don't have the final say in Qingyang City. What do you want to do by bringing so many people here? Are you going against the grain? If you dare to cause trouble in Qingyang City, do you take me, Mo Tai, seriously?
inside."
The man's voice was rich, ringing in everyone's ears like an explosion. The powerful momentum was released, making everyone feel more pressure. The person who came was a strong man in the middle stage of the cave world. Standing next to Motel was a man in white robes.
A handsome man, with a burly guard and an old man standing behind him.
Zhou Chen glanced at the man in white robes in surprise, it was Pang Qingyan, and Pang Qingyan smiled slightly at Zhou Chen.
Lu Yuncheng's face changed greatly, and he quickly raised his hands to Mo Tai and said: "Lord City Lord, please make the decision for me, the Lu family. This week, the Zhou family killed hundreds of powerful people from my Lu family. Today, I am just here to seek justice.
"
"Oh? You said that the Zhou family killed hundreds of powerful people from your Lu family. Do you have any evidence?"
Mo Tai frowned. He didn't know that the Zhou family had killed so many people in the Lu family. If it was true, then the matter would be a bit tricky.
Lu Yuncheng took out the token, handed it to Mo Tai, and said, "Please take a look at it, Lord City Lord. This is the token left by the murderer at the scene."
Motel took the token, glanced at it, frowned, and saw the word "zhou" written on the token. He turned his eyes to the side and looked at Pang Qingyan. Pang Qingyan remained calm and showed no expression.
Motel looked at the token, thought for a while, and said calmly: "It's just a token, how can it prove that the person was killed by the Zhou family? Maybe someone deliberately framed the Zhou family."
"Lord City Lord, you..." Lu Yuncheng was a little anxious. Motel was clearly favoring the Zhou family.
Zhou Chen waved his hand, directly interrupted everyone's words, and said nonchalantly: "No need to say anything, let me tell you, it is indeed our Zhou family who did it. Your Lu family wants to seek revenge from my Zhou family, just come here.
Already."
Now that the Zhou family's moles have appeared, Zhou Chen doesn't need to continue acting with the Lu family. If the city lord prevents the Lu family from taking action, he will have no reason to take action.
"Zhou Chen, you..." Motel was so angry at Zhou Chen that he could have resolved the Zhou family's crisis today with just one sentence. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen himself admitted it. In this way, even he could no longer stop the Lu family, and Zhou Chen was considered
The son of his old friend really didn't want anything to happen to him, and before he came, Pang Qingyan said he would keep Zhou Chen safe no matter what. How could he explain what he thought would be an easy solution when things turned out like this?
"Thank you City Lord for your kindness. My Zhou family appreciates it. However, I hope that my Zhou family can still handle matters on their own." Zhou Chen had no expression on his face and bowed his hand towards Motel.
Motel's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at Pang Qingyan next to him. At this time, Pang Qingyan's face was also full of confusion, but he was not panicked and nodded towards Motel.
"Hey!" Motel shook his head helplessly.
Lu Yuncheng looked ecstatic. He didn't expect Zhou Chen, a stupid young man, to admit it to himself. He was caught off guard by Motel's intervention and was already at his wits' end. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
