Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yuan swiped his sword horizontally and directly cut the man's throat.
"What did he say? There are still a group of people following me?" Zhou Yuan's expression was stunned. It was really because the other party was talking too much nonsense that he took action. This can't be blamed on him.
I have offended many people, so who will be the other group of people?
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yuan reached out and took off the mask of the man in front of him.
Seeing this face, Zhou Yuan was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect it to be a rather handsome face.
"One of the Four Dharma Kings, Youquan." A name appeared in Zhou Yuan's mind.
He immediately turned around and walked back to the dense forest. At the other end of the forest, he saw Su Ruobing waiting there obediently.
Su Ruobing also held a sword in her hand. She was hiding on the branch of a big tree, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
It wasn't until she saw Zhou Yuan that she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly jumped down from the tree trunk.
"Are you okay?" Su Ruobing asked worriedly.
Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, "You care about me so much?"
"As poor as I am, how can I not care about my junior brother?" Su Ruobing rolled her eyes.
"You are a junior sister and I am a senior brother."
"You started later than me, and you are my junior brother." Su Ruobing was disdainful.
Zhou Yuan picked his nostrils and said, "It's just a few hours late..."
The two of them continued to walk side by side while they were joking.
Half a day later, the two of them bought two more horned horses in the nearest town.
The journey was non-stop, and soon we arrived at the boundary of Tianluo City.
Looking at the familiar city in the distance, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a sense of home away from home, and couldn't help but speed up.
Walking into the city, there are still familiar scenes and familiar faces.
Some people recognized Zhou Yuan and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I remember when Zhou Yuan broke away from his family and fled Tianluo City in a hurry, but now he finally came back openly and honestly.
Amid the discussion of the crowd, Zhou Yuan and Su Ruobing walked side by side to the Zhou family's mansion. The Zhou family's mansion had been repaired and became more majestic and domineering.
The Zhou family has already become the largest aristocratic family in Tianluo City, surpassing the newly promoted second and third families.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? It's a private residence, please don't disturb anyone else." Accompanied by a scolding sound, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion slowly opened the door. In just a moment, the housekeeper's eyes widened.
"Are you... the third young master?" The housekeeper suddenly trembled.
Zhou Yuan smiled, "It's me."
The butler was originally a guard of the Zhou family, so he naturally recognized Zhou Yuan. He was stunned for a long time before opening the door and letting Zhou Yuan and Su Ruobing in.
The next moment, the housekeeper shouted loudly.
"Master, the third young master is back. The third young master is back."
Hearing the sound, many members of the Zhou family rushed out.
"Third brother."
A girl in green clothes rushed over first. When she saw it was Zhou Yuan, she immediately rushed over excitedly and hugged Zhou Yuan directly.
Then her little head turned rapidly and she looked at Su Ruobing, "Third brother, could this be my sister-in-law?"
"This is..." Su Ruobing suddenly looked embarrassed. This little girl was too enthusiastic.
"My aunt's daughter."
Zhou Yuan explained with a smile, looking a little embarrassed.
It has to be said that Xu Ling'er has grown up, the braid on her head is gone, her hair is smooth and black, and she looks more graceful, smart and beautiful.
"Ling'er has actually awakened the martial arts seal?" Zhou Yuan immediately discovered that a mark appeared between Xu Ling'er's eyebrows.
Xu Ling'er said quickly: "No, I am also a famous genius in Tianluo City now, but I am only a fifth-grade martial arts seal. Compared with the martial arts seal of the third brother back then..."
Halfway through the words, Xu Ling'er realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said and quickly covered her mouth.
Zhou Yuan's martial arts seal was taken away from him back then. This is an eternal pain and should not be brought up.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. My Ling'er is also a genius. If a martial arts seal of this level enters Seven Star Academy in the future, he will at least be an inner disciple."
Zhou Yuan laughed.
"Yuan'er."
At this time, several figures rushed over with excitement on their faces, including father Zhou Canghai, aunt Zhou Mengyun, eldest sister Zhou Ningyu, eldest elder Zhou Changzheng and others.
"Father, aunt, eldest sister..."
Zhou Yuan was also very excited and immediately went to greet them. These were his close relatives.
"Yuan'er, you have become stronger." Zhou Canghai's eyes shone as he looked at Zhou Yuan carefully.
Zhou Yuan did not hide anything and said directly: "The ninth level of foundation building."
"What?" Everyone's eyes widened. For them, this realm was something they couldn't even imagine. It was already a legend in Tianluo City.
Even the head of the family, Zhou Canghai, is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. His aunt Zhou Mengyun is still in the Qi Refining territory. The eldest sister Zhou Ningyu has not activated the martial arts seal, so her cultivation can only reach the first level of Foundation Establishment.
"Yuan'er, I heard from Master Yifan that if you kill Zhuang Tianyi, Xingyue Tower has issued an ultimatum and is looking for you all over the world."
Walking into the main hall, the eldest sister Zhou Ningyu said with a worried face.
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, with my current strength, I'm not afraid of them at all."
Everyone had strange looks in their eyes. Zhou Yuan was right. He was now at the ninth level of foundation building. Not only could he shake the entire Xingyue Tower, he would have no problem just protecting himself.
On this day, the entire Zhou Mansion was full of excitement, just like a festival.
In order to celebrate Zhou Yuan's return, Zhou Canghai held a grand banquet and invited distinguished guests from all over. The city lord Luo Fengtian and his son, the newly promoted families, and many affiliated forces all came to congratulate him.
Master Yifan did not come because of the tense relationship between Zhou Yuan and Xingyue Tower, and it was not convenient for him to come forward.
The Zhou family is now in Tianluo City. It can be said that they can call the wind and rain, and respond to hundreds of calls. Even the city lord Luo Fengtian has to give some thumbs up.
That night, Su Ruobing pulled Zhou Yuan to a deserted place with a bitter look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan asked with raised eyebrows.
Su Ruobing's pretty face turned red, and she said to Zhou Yuan: "Please, please explain to everyone, they all say that I am your one..."
"Which one?" Zhou Yuan continued to ask knowingly.
"They all say that I am your fiancée, but I am obviously not..."
"I didn't say yes either." Zhou Yuan laughed.
Su Ruobing immediately rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuan and ran away with a blushing face.
Zhou Yuan shrugged helplessly.
In the dead of night, Zhou Yuan, Zhou Canghai, Zhou Mengyun, Zhou Ningyu and others gathered together.
"Father, aunt, and eldest sister, I just want to take a look at you when I come back this time. After a while, I will go back to the imperial capital." Zhou Yuan said, "In addition, I decided to persuade the Tianpeng Hunting Team and the Fuling Hunting Team.
, integrate them together and integrate them into my Zhou family."
"Is it necessary? My Zhou family is now in Tianluo City, and it is a first-class wealthy family." Zhou Ningyu said.
Zhou Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Of course it is necessary."
If the eldest sister went out for a trip, she would never think so.
Tianluo City is too small. If the Zhou family is placed in the imperial capital, it cannot be considered a family, it can only be regarded as a family.
Zhou Canghai is the head of the family and has certain foresight. He immediately smiled at Zhou Yuan and said: "You want to develop and strengthen our Zhou family. I have no objection to this. You are my son, Zhou Canghai, and the young head of the Zhou family. In the future,
Everything is yours."
"Actually, my dream is to pursue martial arts, and I don't want to manage the family. Father, you should consider my eldest sister." Zhou Yuan scratched his head.
"Your eldest sister is about to get married, so I can only count on you."
Zhou Yuan was stunned and joked: "Marrying someone? Whose family is so lucky?"
"City Lord's Mansion."
"Marry Luo Yun?" Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Ningyu in surprise.
"Father, what are you talking about? I didn't promise that boy." Zhou Ningyu blushed and rolled her eyes.
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Canghai immediately laughed.
Finally, Zhou Yuan learned that Luo Yun had been pursuing the eldest sister, but the eldest sister never agreed.
However, the two seemed to be quite a match. The Zhou family was the first family, and Luo Yun was the young city lord. The two families were well matched.
"By the way Yuan'er, do you have any news about your mother when you go to the imperial capital this time?" Zhou Canghai suddenly became serious.
Zhou Yuan also fell into silence.
When he was very young, his mother left the Zhou family with her second sister and disappeared.
When he left Tianluo City, his father once gave him a letter and told him his mother's name. However, during the past few years in the imperial capital, Zhou Yuan also asked around.
Relying on the ability of the eldest prince Yun Chen, it is very easy to investigate a person.
However, there is not a shred of news about her mother, Jiang Shaoling.
Seeing Zhou Yuan's expression, Zhou Canghai had already guessed the result. It was not that easy to find Jiang Shaoling when she left without saying goodbye.
"It's okay. It's been many years. She may have gone to another place. It won't be too late to look for her again when you have the chance in the future." Zhou Canghai sighed.
Zhou Ningyu put her hand on Zhou Canghai's shoulder, "Father, don't think too much about it. My mother must have had no choice but to leave back then. I believe she and her sister are both safe and sound."
During the past few days of living at home, Zhou Yuan also went out frequently to investigate some things.
As expected, the Bai family never returned to Tianluo City. I heard that they seemed to have gone to a distant town and became villagers there, living a life of slash-and-burn farming.
As for the Jiang family and the Xiao family, although they are still in Tianluo City, they have declined very seriously.
Among the major forces, they have even existed in name only.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan also investigated Jiang Ziyue, and the news he received was that Jiang Ziyue had never come back since the last time she followed Henry Zhang to Seven Star Academy, not even a letter.
That Jiang Ziyue was really heartless. For so many years, she didn't even know that the Jiang family was destroyed.
As for whether she traveled around with Mr. Fang Jing and whether she died at the hands of Feng Mo Sect, Zhou Yuan did not dare to make a conclusion easily.
After all, Jiang Ziyue awakened the second-grade Bianhuahua and became a genius even more amazing than Henry Zhang. How could the Feng Mo Sect let a peerless genius die like this?
In the past few days, Zhou Yuan's main target of investigation was another group of people who were secretly watching him.
On that day, Youquan, one of the four Dharma Kings of Xingyue Tower was killed. Naturally, what Youquan said when he was about to die could not be groundless.
The people Zhou Yuan offended include not only Xingyue Tower and Yun Zheng, but also the nine major families in the imperial capital.
In the academy's life and death arena, many children from the nine great families died in his hands.
However, he still didn't find anything useful in the end. The other party was hiding it and he was hiding it, so it was not easy to investigate in the first place.
He was determined to find Ivan. After all, with Ivan's ability, it would be easy to investigate the matter, but considering his relationship with Xingyue Tower, he still didn't go.
I noticed nothing unusual, or maybe there was something unusual but Zhou Yuan didn't know about it.
A few days later, Zhou Yuan asked Su Ruobing to stay in the mansion, while he rode the horned horse straight out of the city and headed towards the Diling Mountains.
