There is the Ouyang family in the outside world, and the family is not monolithic, Zhou Zhen and several elders forced his father to abdicate.

This kind of internal and external troubles, under great pressure, would have collapsed long ago for ordinary people.

"Okay, I actually joined forces to force my father to the palace, I want to see what these people are capable of!"

Zhou Lie's eyes flashed with a cold light, found a corner where no one was around, and jumped into the courtyard.

Then, he walked through the cascading courtyard to the center of the Zhou family's ancestral house, and strode directly into the spacious council hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that there were already forty or fifty people sitting in the council hall, including middle-aged people and gray-haired old men, all of whom were powerful figures in the Zhou family.

Behind these people in power, there are still seventy or eighty young boys and girls, each of whom is heroic and bright, and is the future elite child of the Zhou family.

These people are usually scattered in various parts of Yanjing City, presiding over the family business, and they will not easily gather together.

Now all gathered in the ancestral house of the Zhou family, it also indicates that something big has happened.

Hundreds of people had gathered in the council hall, but there was not the slightest sound, the atmosphere was oppressive, and the air was so dull that it almost dripped.

Swish!

As soon as Zhou Lie crossed the threshold, hundreds of pairs of eyes suddenly looked at him in unison, among which there were even more profound cultivators in the Divine Martial Realm powerhouse, his eyes were like thunder and lightning, and a single look made people's minds roar, and the spirit of ordinary people was about to collapse.

If it was two years ago, in the face of the gaze and spiritual coercion of so many strong people of the Zhou family, Zhou Lie would probably have been so frightened that his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground.

However, he was no longer what it used to be, his whole body shook slightly, all the pressure disappeared, and then he looked up at the two people in front of him.

His father, Zhou He, sat high on the main seat, and next to him was a beautiful woman, who was Zhou Lie's mother, Tang Rou.

I haven't seen each other for two years, Zhou He and Tang Rou's faces have aged a lot, especially Tang Rou, crow's feet have grown out of the corners of her eyes, and a few strands of white hair can be faintly seen on her temples.

Poof!

Zhou Lie knelt down on the spot, and said in a low voice: "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he has disappeared silently for more than a year, please punish the second elder heavily!"

After speaking, he bowed down, and his voice was already choked.

He felt extremely guilty in his heart, as a son of man, no matter what the reason, he disappeared for more than a year, causing his parents to worry, it was unfilial piety.

"Lie'er, is it really you?"

Tang Rou burst into tears for a moment, and looked at Zhou Lie with some surprise in her eyes.

The young man in front of her is very different from the son in her impression, so that she is almost unrecognizable.

But as a mother, she, by natural instinct, was sure that this was her precious son.

Her son's appearance had changed, but his voice and the familiar feeling had not changed.

She never imagined that her son was still alive.

For more than a year, she was frightened every day, for fear that she would never see Zhou Lie again, and today, she finally saw her most beloved son and got her wish.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. ”

Zhou He's eyebrows trembled slightly on Zhou He's original Gu Jing Wubo's face, and he beckoned: "Lie'er, come here, let your father and mother take a good look at you, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why have you changed so much?"

He almost didn't recognize his son, and in more than a year, Zhou Lie was a completely different person.

Zhou Lie stood up, walked in front of Zhou He and Tang Rou, looked at the second elder, and there were tears in his eyes.

"Lie'er, my good son, let my mother take a look at you. ”

Tang Rou hurriedly took a few steps forward, pulled Zhou Lie over, and sat down next to her.

She held Zhou Lie's face in both hands and looked at it carefully, wanting to see what her beloved son had gone through to make such a big change.

She found that her son's previously weak body had become stronger, and he had even developed muscles, and his appearance had changed drastically, becoming more handsome, more calm, and too much more mature.

"Lie'er has grown taller, her body has become stronger, and she has become more handsome, and her mother almost can't recognize you. ”

Tang Rou burst into tears and smiled, seeing that her son had finally grown up, her eyes showed relief.

Zhou He glanced at Zhou Lie deeply, he felt that his son had changed too much when he came back this time, he was no longer frivolous and arrogant, and his calmness revealed a kind of majesty.

This kind of majesty, he has only felt it in those big people in Yanjing City.

"This child, it seems, has gone through a lot of hardships, and it is no longer what it used to be, far better than before. ”

Zhou He nodded secretly, and found that his son was no longer the same gentleman who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he was extremely relieved in his heart.

His originally frowning face finally stretched out and showed a smile.

"Hahaha, congratulations to the head of the family, your family of three is finally reunited. ”

At this moment, laughter rang out, and a middle-aged man stood up in the seat below.

This person is burly, with thick bones all over his body, his eyes flashing with a strong essence, and his whole body exudes a terrifying temperament.

Zhou Zhen, the number two person in the Zhou family, is second only to Zhou He.

In Yanjing City, the Zhou family has a history of more than 300 years, except for the head of the family, Zhou He, who sits in the ancestral house, the other people in power are scattered in various places in the city to run businesses.

In addition, there is also a senatorial council above the head of the family, all of which are old antiques in the family, old monsters who have lived for two hundred years.

These old antiques have fought for the Zhou family all their lives, and after abdication, they generally choose to concentrate on cultivation, and only appear when major changes occur in the family.

It can be said that the entire Zhou family is a small court, the senators will be the emperor, the head of the family is the emperor, and the remaining few people in power are ministers.

Several people in power led by Zhou Zhen are extremely ambitious, and they are not plotting for the position of the head of the family all the time.

And Zhou Lie poked out the big basket, causing the family to suffer serious losses, and all those in power saw hope, and immediately gathered for a meeting, wanting to oust Zhou He from the position of the head of the family and replace him himself.

The No. 2 person, Zhou Zhen, is the most ambitious one of them, and Zhou He's strong competitor.

He first congratulated him, and then began to make trouble, and said in a quiet tone: "The head of the family, your son came back in a timely manner, our Zhou family has faced a huge crisis this year, all because of the big basket that your son stabbed, now, the head of the family should give you an explanation, right?"

"Oh, I don't know what you want?"

Zhou He's face was calm, sitting high on the main seat, his tone was light, and he had the majesty of the head of the family.

"Our Zhou family is facing the oppression of the Ouyang family, and the property has suffered heavy losses, all of which are caused by your son, and he has brought the family to the abyss of destruction, this is a big crime!"

Zhou Zhen looked around at everyone with his eyes, and said coldly: "I suggest that Zhou Lie be tied up and escorted to the Ouyang family to calm their anger, in addition, the head of the family has no way to do it, and he has an unshirkable responsibility, so he should resign as the head of the family, and we will elect a capable new family master." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several people in power of the Zhou family immediately stood up and began to make trouble.

"What Zhou Zhen said makes sense, I seconded it!"

"This should be done, only by escorting Zhou Lie to the Ouyang family and getting their forgiveness, can our Zhou family avoid the fate of extinction. ”

"Zhou Lie is a harmful spirit, if you keep him in the Zhou family, sooner or later he will poke out a big basket!"

Obviously, these people in power have long colluded with Zhou Zhen to force Zhou He to abdicate.

And now, Zhou Lie, the troublemaker, has returned home, and they have more reason to force Zhou He to abdicate.

"Zhou Lie, an idiot, actually has the face to come back, is this to block his father?"

"Yes, his father's position as the head of the family was unstable, but now that he suddenly went home, Zhou Zhen and the others had even more excuses to force him to abdicate. ”

"Let's take a look, this unfilial son comes back tonight, and Zhou He will not end well in the family meeting. ”

Many young boys and girls from the family looked at Zhou Lie with schadenfreude, with disdain, mockery, and deep contempt in their eyes.

Everyone's faces were excited, waiting to see Zhou Lie's joke.

Zhou Lie's face was not shocked, and he took in the expressions of everyone present.

Sure enough, the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and once the father lost power, this group of people showed their fangs and couldn't wait to replace him.

His eyes narrowed slightly, he knew the truth that if he was outside, he must first settle inside, and now that the Zhou family was scattered into a plate of sand, how could he compete with the Ouyang family?

It seems necessary to carry out a great purge within the family!

"Oh, tie up my son and escort him to the Ouyang family?"

Zhou He's eyes showed anger, "Zhou Zhen, are you trying to kill my son? If I hand over Lie'er to the Ouyang family, do you think he still has a chance to live?"

"If he doesn't die, our Zhou family will perish, as the head of the family, you should be clear about the stakes, right?"

Zhou Zhen smiled slightly, and said in a slow tone.

"Since you said that I am the head of the family, then, I have the final say in the Zhou family. ”

Zhou He shook his head and said: "As a father, I will not bury my son with my own hands, this matter is over, you don't talk about it anymore." ”

Zhou Zhen snorted coldly: "Family master, you still maintain this little beast until now?" If it weren't for him, our Zhou family would .........."

"Presumptuous!"

Zhou He was furious and shouted: "You can also call the little beast!" Zhou Zhen, I advise you to keep your mouth clean, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"

"You're welcome, you're trying to do it with me, it's just right, I've long wanted to learn your stunt as the head of the family!"

Zhou Zhen suddenly broke out, strode towards Zhou He, and slapped out a palm, his eyes were hideous: "You have been in the position of the head of the family for too long, so let me down!"

He slapped it out with one palm, every inch of the muscles and muscles on his arm were shaking, and the true qi was boiling in the palm of his hand, and suddenly exploded, as if he could blow up the mountain, and directly displayed the Zhou family's ancestral king-level mastery "Collapse the mountain!"

"It's a fight!"

The eyes of the young children of many families lit up, and their faces were full of excitement.

They knew that the show was finally on.

Zhou Zhen immediately began to challenge the throne of Zhou He, the contemporary head of the family.

"Good time!"

Zhou He stood up, used the true qi of his whole body, and suddenly punched out, the fist was like a tiger descending the mountain, and like a thunderbolt and angry, the true qi turned into a fist light the size of a water tank, and rolled away towards Zhou Zhen's collapsed mountain.

It is also the ancestral heritage of the Zhou family, a king-level master, mixed yuan boxing!

Rumble!

Under the collision of the two king-level martial arts, the invisible qi waves spread wildly in all directions, and the hard floor tiles under Zhou He and Zhou Zhen's feet exploded inch by inch and turned into powder.

Under the blow, Zhou He stood still in place, but Zhou Zhen was really angry, and he took three small steps back in a row.

Victory or defeat is a score, obviously Zhou He's skills are superior, and Zhou Zhen is slightly inferior by three points.

"Zhou Zhen, you are just a beginner-level Divine Martial Realm, although the collapse of the mountain has been completed, but if you want to compete with me, you are still a little short of heat. ”

Zhou He's face was full of pride, and he waved his hand and said, "Step down, when you will be promoted to the middle-level Divine Martial Realm, it will not be too late to challenge the position of the head of the family." ”

"Hmph, what are you proud of? I still have a stunt that I haven't shown, let's have a good fight today!"

Zhou Zhen looked unwilling, ripped off his coat casually, and threw it on the ground, revealing the bronzed skin all over his body, and his whole body was full of strong fighting spirit.

"Okay, let's stop, today is the family council, discussing the future of the Zhou family, not a life-and-death struggle, you are not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a white face, wearing a cyan robe, holding a folding fan, and dressed as a scholar, stood up.

With a slight wave of the fan in his hand, a fresh breeze suddenly appeared, removing the murderous aura around him, revealing his profound cultivation.

The third person of the Zhou family, Zhou Tai!

Cultivation, the primary level of the Divine Martial Realm.

"Zhou Tai, I don't know what you think?"

Zhou Zhen's momentum retracted and retreated.

"Hmph. ”

Zhou He sat back in his chair and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Tai, I don't care what you think, or that sentence, if you say that my son is escorted to the Ouyang family, don't mention this matter again, even if I, Zhou He, are killed by the Ouyang family, I will not hand over my son." ”

"Zhou He, as the head of the family, while holding power, you must also shoulder responsibility, you should understand this truth, otherwise you will not be a competent head of the family. ”

Zhou Tai shook the folding fan lightly, and said in a flat tone: "The decline of the family is all caused by your son's jealousy, and the whole Yanjing City is watching our jokes, so he can be exempted from the death penalty, and the living crime is inevitable, if you don't hand him over to the Ouyang family, then expel him from the Zhou family and completely break off the father-son relationship with him, after all, he is a scourge, with him in the Zhou family for a day, we will never have peace!"

Zhou Tai, who is a scholar, is ruthless and vicious when he speaks, leaving no room for it.

"Don't think about it! Whoever dares to expel my son from the Zhou family, I will fight with him, even if it is death, I will bite off a piece of meat on him!"

Finally, Tang Rou, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke.

She was like a she-wolf guarding her cubs, staring at everyone present with a fierce face.

Tang Rou knew very well that this Zhou Tai had sinister intentions, and if Zhou Lie stayed in the family, he could still be sheltered, and his life would be worry-free for the time being.

But if he was expelled from the house, if he was discovered by the Ouyang family, he would definitely not live for a few days.
