The breeze was warm, and thick clouds hung above the sky, through which the sunlight passed, forming visible but untouchable pillars of light that illuminated the earth, and everything was still as usual.

Zhang Mochen took a deep breath and ended today's morning exercise, but his father Zhang Tianfeng was not around.

Zhang Mochen put away the silver sword, stood and looked up at the clouds in the sky, and recalled in his mind every move and style of the duel with Li Ziya.

"Li Ziya is very strong!"

After a long time, Zhang Mochen sighed in a low voice, and subconsciously stroked his left armpit with his right hand. This was left by Li Ziya's sword qi, because the wound was relatively hidden, Zhang Tianbing did not find it yesterday. Although it was only a flesh injury and did not hinder major events, the blood that kept oozing still made Zhang Mochen change into black clothes today.

"Let's go see that girl first!"

Life is suddenly catastrophic, this is the most vulnerable time, since you come to the rescue, you have to be responsible to the end. Zhang Mochen put away his thoughts, turned around and walked towards the garden.

......

In the hall of the Zhang family, a giant golden dragon hovered over the wall, Senwei's eyes, sharp dragon teeth, and dragon whiskers that seemed to be fluttering, which looked lifelike.

Under the golden dragon mural, a rosewood chair is placed on the animal skin, the beast's head has not been removed, the sharp fangs, the hideous face, and the dragon on the wall echo from afar, the whole hall is very strict.

Zhang Tianfeng sat on the rosewood chair with a solemn face, and there were three people sitting on both sides of it, the two on the left were Zhang Tianluan, the eldest of the Zhang family, and Zhang Tianchi, the third elder of the Zhang family, and the one on the right was Zhang Tianbing, who was expressionless as always.

"Fourth sister, let's talk about your situation in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range first. Zhang Tianfeng said in a calm tone.

Zhang Tianbing stood up, clasped his fists at Zhang Tianfeng and said, "Yes, patriarch." ”

Among the four brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, Zhang Tianfeng and Zhang Tianbing have the best relationship, but the state has national laws, the family has family rules, and it is still necessary to distinguish priorities in front of business.

Zhang Tianfeng waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Tianbing to sit down.

"Patriarch, eldest brother, third brother, this time I went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to receive some problems, the bounty hunters don't seem to be very happy to trade with my Zhang family, even those long-term cooperative bounty groups are also pushing, obviously scruples. Zhang Tianbing explained the situation in general.

The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is the source of food and clothing for Sanye Town, and the essence of the demon beasts is an indispensable part of the cultivation of the four major families. In order to obtain more resources, in addition to regularly sending people to the mountains to hunt demon beasts, the four major families also maintain a cooperative relationship with the bounty group that takes the mountains as their home and lives on the pulses.

There are dozens of bounty groups in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, large and small, almost all of them are related to the four major families, although it is not an alliance, but it has long formed a tacit understanding. For the bounty group, there is a fixed way to ship, and for the four major families, there is a stable source of resources, which can be described as a win-win situation.

There are also very few bounty groups that do not contact any family, they are alone, unruly, and brutal by nature, and often go deep into the hinterland of the mountains to hunt high-level demon beasts. Of course, the price is also painful, but with high risk and high reward, this group of people is willing to take risks for the sake of profit. Whenever they sell the goods in the town of Sanye, it is bound to cause a crazy robbery.

These few bounty hunters lick blood every day, kill people like hemp, and occasionally rob them, all of them are bloodthirsty, but none of the four major families are willing to wipe them out, compared with sacrificing the lives of the clansmen and risking their lives to go deep into the mountains to hunt high-level demon beasts, it is much more cost-effective to spend money to buy from these people, and it is not a matter to solve it with money.

However, this situation also has drawbacks, that is, every time there is an auction, the four major families will bid for each other, and the money will be broken, even if it is the Zhang family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Shi family, they will compete with each other, and it must be related to the interests of their own clan.

"There's something I want to tell you, and I just learned about it yesterday. Zhang Tianfeng didn't answer Zhang Tianbing's topic, "Do you remember the marriage between the Li family and the Song family in Heyue City more than ten years ago?" Zhang Tianfeng's mighty eyes swept over the three people in the hall one by one.

"Well, the Li family has been arrogant for a long time with this marriage. It's a pity that it became a joke in the end, and he put his daughter in for nothing. Zhang Tianluan said slowly with the beard on his chin.

"That's right, Li Fengyan's death made the old man of the Li family feel guilty, and he died depressed after passing on the clan position to Li Fengying. Zhang Tianchi smiled coldly, as if he was a little gloating.

"It's a pity that we were all deceived, Li Fengyan didn't die, and gave birth to a boy named Song Qingzhu. Zhang Tianfeng shook his head slightly, and said with frowns.

"What?" The three of them were all taken aback when they heard Zhang Tianfeng's words. The three of them, whose expressions were quite flat just now, are now full of clouds on their faces. They know what that means.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

......

"I'm afraid that this news has already been spread, and the behavior of the bounty group in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is strong evidence. After a while, Zhang Tianbing finally connected the two things.

There was no bloody alliance between the family and the bounty group, and the relationship between the two was only based on interests, which could be broken.

Bounty group, interests first, whoever can give themselves more benefits, then befriend whom. The bounty groups that cooperated with the Zhang family before have been very stable for many years because of Zhang Mochen, but now that Song Qingzhu was born, they thought about it in their hearts, although Zhang Mochen was good, it was only an unknown number, and Song Qingzhu was a real dual cultivator.

"The fourth sister's analysis makes sense. Zhang Tianfeng said, his eyes fell on Zhang Tianluan and Zhang Tianchi who were still stunned at the same time, "Big brother, third brother, now is not the time to be surprised, but to seek countermeasures!"

Zhang Tianfeng's sonorous and powerful voice woke up Zhang Tianluan and Zhang Tianchi, and the two of them knew that they had lost their temper just now, so they got up and bent over Zhang Tianfeng and hugged their fists.

"Right now, we need to send people to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to stabilize the few bounty groups that cooperate with us, and the family's resources cannot be broken. Zhang Tianfeng said while motioning for the two to sit down.

"I'll go!" Zhang Tianbing immediately stood up and said, but it was Zhang Tianfeng's head that answered her.

"Fourth sister, the situation in front of you is not clear, the Li family and the Shi family must still have a backhand, you should stay in the clan first. Zhang Tianfeng's tone was calm but firm.

Although the four people in the hall are brothers and sisters, they are very close. Zhang Tianbing has a cold and arrogant personality, but he strongly supports Zhang Tianfeng, since the latter took over as the patriarch, Zhang Tianbing has spared no effort in big and small affairs, not that Zhang Tianluan and Zhang Tianchi are mediocre people, but they just lack that heart.

Seeing that Zhang Tianbing's proposal was rejected, Zhang Tianluan kept wearing his beard repeatedly, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he slowly stood up, as if he had a way.
