Chapter 8 The Matter Is Exposed

  The truth comes out

  At this moment, the high-level members of the Zhou family are all gathered in the Fengyundian Hall. This is an absolute high-level meeting, and not a single one of the three generations of disciples has the qualifications to attend. Even Zhou Chaofan, known as the number one genius, does not have the qualifications to enter. A meeting of this caliber has not been convened for many years.

  Normally, a meeting of this scale is only convened when something major happens, at the very least, something that affects the livelihood of the Zhou family.

  This time, the meeting was attended by fewer third-generation disciples, but compared to last time, there were many more new faces. These people all had one thing in common: they emitted a strong aura, and at the very least, they were at the peak of the Fleshly Body Realm, with some being high-level masters of the Spiritual Sense Realm, and even some being powerful cultivators of the Law Enforcement Realm.

  They were all guests of the Zhou family, worshiping and cultivating in secret places within the Zhou family, not asking about worldly affairs, relying on the salary of the Zhou family. Only when something big happened to the Zhou family would they listen to the orders of the master of the Zhou family, wake up from their cultivation, and solve some major events for the Zhou family.

  The highest peak of the Wind and Cloud Hall, Zhou Tianchen's face was solemn, his eyes scanned everyone present, finally saying heavily, "Everyone, today I am here as the head of the family to announce a major event... Our Zhou family will soon disappear from the Great Dry Empire!!!"

  Zhou Tian's face changed, and he slapped the table, standing up. "Big brother, what are you talking about? Our Zhou family is a prominent clan, the master of this city, how can we just disappear? In the entire Daqian Empire, except for imperial power, unless we want to, there is no force that can forcibly destroy us!!!"

  Looking at Zhou Tianbao's furious expression, Zhou Tiānchén shook his head and sighed, "Tianbao, what you said is not wrong. Our Zhou family has several powerful practitioners in the realm of law, plus the power of the various enshrined guests and the guest king. Indeed, in the Great Dry Empire, we are a force that cannot be underestimated. However, there is one thing you are wrong about: the powers of the Great Dry Empire are unfathomable, and our Zhou family, although not weak, still lags far behind some of the larger aristocratic families. Moreover, under the heavens, it's not just the Great Dry Empire."

  At this moment, all the guests, the nobles, and the high-ranking officials of the Zhou family fell silent. There was an existence that none of them dared to mention, not just them, but the entire Daqian Empire also considered it a taboo.

  Zhou Tian pointed at the ground in shock, "Big brother, are you saying...?"

  He nodded, "Not bad, it's them. This time, Zhou Yuan entered the Cang Jing Pavilion and unintentionally cultivated the highest law of the Zhou family, the War God Magic Classic. And the War God Magic Classic had already been cultivated by two people before. When this classic is controlled by a third person, it will self-destruct. At that time, there must be a hint of aura leaking out. As for them, who have always been concerned about the whereabouts of the War God Magic Classic, they will inevitably detect and track it down. By then, it will be the end of our Zhou family..."

  At this point, all the high-ranking officials fell silent.

  A guest of the Zhou family, Feng Daoke, said, "Master, now that the Zhou family is on the verge of destruction, can't we leave? A gentleman does not stand under a wall on the verge of collapse."

  Zhou Tianchen shook his head, "This is the foundation of the Zhou family, I will not leave. If the Zhou family's foundation is destroyed, what face do I have to meet my ancestors? As for you, you are all guests of the Zhou family, there is no need to share life and death with us. You want to leave, then leave, I won't blame you!"

  "Fengdao Ke smiled and said, 'House Master, you still underestimate us. We haven't done anything for the Zhou family in the past, but we've been taking advantage of their kindness. The yuan stones and dan medicines we cultivate every day have never been withheld from us. Now is the moment of life and death for the Zhou family, so naturally we won't turn our backs on them.'"

  At this time, other guests also expressed that they would not leave the Zhou family.

  For a moment, the high-ranking members of the Zhou family felt warm in their hearts, and some people even had a hint of moisture at the corners of their eyes.

  Zhou Tianchen said, "I'm so grateful to everyone, and there's one more thing. I plan to hold a competition among the three generations of Zhou family disciples, as well as the guest officials, to see who will be the one to carry on our Zhou family's legacy, our last hope for the future. I hope that person can avenge us and take on the great responsibility of reviving our Zhou family."

  "And this time's championship reward is the Purple Lightning Sword and the Holy Sonic Garment!!!"

  "Big brother!!!" Zhou Tianbo stood up, his breathing becoming more and more urgent. "This is the treasure of our Zhou family's ancestors! It was left behind by our ancestors, how can it fall into the hands of a third-generation disciple??"

  "Yes, master of the house, this matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly!!!" Another elderly man stood up, he was the alchemy elder of the Zhou family, named Zhou Xin.

  Elder Zhou Ye of the Refining Sect also stood up, "I implore the master to reconsider!!!"

  "You don't need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up. We old folks are destined to rise and fall with the Zhou family, and the Zhou family cannot be completely destroyed. Someone must take on the responsibility of reviving the family, and this champion must be the most talented among all the younger generation. His future achievements will definitely be the highest, and only such a junior has the qualifications to undertake this important task. We must fully support him!!!"

  At this moment, outside Fengyuntang, a servant rushed over and knelt down on the ground, "Master Bing, something's happened!!!"

  "What's going on!!!!!"

  The newcomer's body shook, apparently frightened, "Master Bing, General Manager Li, is dead!!!"

  "Li the manager? Li Zhong!!!! How could it be!!!!!" Zhou Tianbao angrily rebuked, "Speak clearly, what exactly happened, Li Zhong may not be a blood relative of the Zhou family, but he is also a member of my Zhou family, managing all matters in the mansion, how could he die, who did it!!!!!"

  "It's... it's Zhou Yuan, he was killed by Zhou Yuan!!!"

  BOOM!!!!!!!

  Zhou Tian slammed his hand heavily on the table in front of him, and immediately the table was shattered into pieces by a powerful force.

  "How could this be? He first killed Li Shan, then killed Li Zhong. Does he still have any sense of propriety as a member of the Zhou family? Doesn't he put us old folks in his eyes at all? Order Yunlong Guard to go and capture Zhou Yuan for me!!"

  "Hold on?" Zhou Tianchen waved his hand, stopping the servant who was about to leave. "Li Zhong is not like Li Shan, he's a master at the pinnacle of the Spiritual Inspiration realm, just one step away from entering the Law Enforcement realm. And Zhou Yuan, who had only recently broken through to the Blood Aperture realm, how could he have killed Li Zhong? This matter is suspicious, let's go take a look!!!"

  Hooray!

  At this moment, all the high-ranking members of the Zhou family stood up and followed Zhou Tianchen as he walked towards Zhou Yuan's residence. Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan was currently refining the pure energy absorbed from Li Zhong, completely unaware that the entire Zhou family was trembling because of him.
