In the middle of the night, Zhou Zheng quietly returned to Zhou's mansion.

Just about to retract into the hardwood bed, Zhou Zheng suddenly noticed something unusual behind him, and hurriedly looked back.

"Where have you gone?" Old Ancestor looked at Zhou Zheng with a serious face.

"I just went to relieve you, master, are you still resting?"

"What are you going to do in black?"

Zhou Zheng realized that the time was too tight, and he didn't have time to change out of this stealth suit.

"Isn't this a habit of wearing, hehe. ”

"Have you gone to the county seat?" asked the ancestor in a stern tone.

He consciously told Zhou Zheng that Ancestor had discovered the fact that he was out, but he still planned to hide the facts.

"No, master, what are you thinking?"

"I got the information, Ren Zimo will stay in the county seat today. Old Ancestor said expressionlessly.

However, Zhou Zheng was already sweating profusely at the moment, and he felt that he was really right, and his secret operation was exposed.

"Ren Zimo, who is that, master?"

"Fart!" Old Ancestor roared angrily, shaking Zhou Zheng in fright. "You tell Weishi now, are you going to find Ren Zimo?"

"Master, listen to me!"

"Bastard!" Old Ancestor only felt angry at this moment, and he wanted to throw Zhou Zheng out of the room.

Zhou Zheng looked at the ancestor nervously, for fear that the master would do something extreme, and the most serious one would even be expelled from the sect by himself.

However, after a long time, the ancestor only sighed heavily.

"What happened to you tonight? It seemed that the ancestor had accepted this fact, and Zhou Zheng dared to take a big breath and told the ancestor all the details of what happened at night.

After hearing this, Old Ancestor's face suddenly changed, and he asked in an incredulous tone, "You reported your own surname and family?"

"Is there anything wrong with the master? The other party was obviously startled when he heard that I was from the Zhou family, and hurriedly ran away. Zhou Zheng had a triumphant expression.

"So you reported your own home?" Old Ancestor still looked at Zhou Zheng with an incredulous expression, Zhou Zheng was stunned in place, he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"Didn't you always want to know about the Heavenly Mandate Sect?"

"That's because I've always wanted to protect you, and I know that you're curious, and if you catch something, you'll definitely keep asking for it, I just don't want you to get too involved. ”

"But now that you have already caused trouble, in order to prevent the next accident, the teacher must tell you the truth about the Heavenly Mandate Sect back then. ”

"The truth of the Heavenly Mandate Sect?"

"Back then, your grandfather Zhou Yan personally crusaded against the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and at that time, as the sect master of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, the Acropolis, personally commanded the battle against Zhou Yan. However, Acropolis was not Zhou Yan's opponent at all, and soon the situation was in a one-sided form, and at this critical juncture, Acropolis's sister Wei Yingqiu appeared, intending to rescue her brother, but she was also not Zhou Yan's opponent. ”

Zhou Yan captured the two generalissimos of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and the remaining soldiers were also demoralized and surrendered one after another. The news of Zhou Yan's annihilation of the Heavenly Mandate Sect soon reached the imperial city, and the patriarch of the Great Yan Dynasty praised Zhou Yan heavily and allowed Zhou Yan to make any request, as long as it did not go beyond common sense, the patriarch could satisfy him. ”

"Then what was Grandpa's request at that time?"

Zhou Yan asked for Wei Yingqiu to be released. Old Ancestor sighed and said.

For a moment, Zhou Zheng looked at the ancestor in disbelief, he thought that he had heard it wrong, but the ancestor's expression was full of regret.

"Seriously, Grandpa's request at that time was to release Wei Yingqiu, the younger sister of the Heavenly Mandate Sect Sect Leader Acropolis?"

"That's right, when the patriarch heard it, he reacted the same way as you. However, the words were released, and the patriarch was embarrassed to take it back, so he had to agree to Zhou Yan's request and release Wei Yingqiu. ”

"Grandpa... Do you like Wei Yingqiu?"

"I can only tell you what I know, that is, after this, Acropolis escaped from the prison and re-founded the Heavenly Mandate Sect in the rivers and lakes, and soon after, Wei Yingqiu also carried some of the clansmen left behind at that time, and also founded a Heavenly Mandate Sect, so in fact, strictly speaking, there are two Heavenly Mandate Sects in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Two Heavenly Mandate Sects, which one did we encounter before?"

"I don't know, but one thing I'm pretty sure of is that the mysterious person you met last night is likely to be the Heavenly Mandate Sect of the Acropolis faction. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because of the claw work. According to what you described, the martial art used by the opponent should be Nether Claw. ”

"Nether God Claw, isn't that your martial art, master?" Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered that when he had just learned the Four Combination Duel, the Ancestor used the Nether God Claw to attack every time, while Zhou Zheng was only allowed to use the Red Sun Duel to resist.

"The Nether Claw was taught to the Acropolis by the old man. ”

"Acropolis?" Zhou Zheng said in surprise. "But why do you have an intersection with the Acropolis, master?"

"Because at the Heroic Martial Arts Conference that year, Zhou Yan's opponent at the peak was the Acropolis. ”

"And this kind of origin?"

"Before that, the three consecutive Hero Martial Arts Conferences were won by people from the rivers and lakes, so when Zhou Yan stepped on the top, it was the hope of the entire Great Yan Dynasty. ”

"But didn't you say that you are the one who wins in the end?"

"Ahem, that's true, I was the winner of that Heroic Martial Arts Conference. ”

"Then why did Grandpa become the hope of the Great Yan Dynasty?"

"Because... Because at that time, only Zhou Yan and I were the representatives of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the remaining four challengers were all from the Jianghu Sect. And in order to try his best to keep the reputation of the Great Yan Dynasty, Zhou Yan chose one person to challenge four contestants and win the game in the form of wheel battle... Old Ancestor said with an embarrassed expression.

"So... Master, you are so inferior!" Zhou Zheng could have long thought that the ancestor's usual boasting was somewhat exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be exaggerated to this extent.

"It's amazing that Grandpa can pick four. Zhou Zheng's eyes were full of admiration.

"To get back to the point, why the teacher wants to tell you this, is because the Heavenly Mandate Sect headed by the Acropolis is a cult on the rivers and lakes, with strong strength and extremely ferocious and violent combat methods. The reason why you were able to retreat last night was probably because you met the lowest disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and at the same time, it was because they had more important tasks on them, so you were able to come back safely. ”

"Why?" Zhou Zheng said unconvinced. "Even if we do fight last night, I will definitely not be inferior to them. ”

"And have you thought about anyone else?"

Zhou Zheng was suddenly stunned.

"What about your family, your friends, and your lover Shangguan Yun, are you sure you have the strength to protect them all?"

After listening to the ancestor's words, Zhou Zheng gradually fell into deep thought.
