Chapter 481: Unexpected
"Bang"
Seeing this sudden outburst of scenes, Zhang Hongxing's face turned cold, he stretched out his palm and pointed at it, and suddenly a thunder shield about a foot long was like a teleportation, forming directly in front of the fat man, which could block Zhang Peng's punch.
In the midst of the thunder arc, he was shocked back by the fierce countershock force seven or eight steps, and felt the pain from his fist, Zhang Peng's face turned blue. Although it didn't take long for him to break through the Summoning Divine Master Realm, when it came to the strength of the phantom body, he was more than a step worse than Zhang Hongxing, who had a thunder divine soul. After all, the latter is one of the powerhouses on Zhengyuan Dalu who is qualified to comprehend the law of tearing given by the Juggernaut.
"This beast was just born to an old slave of the family, and his status is low, and now he dares to insult the elders of the family, and according to the rules, it is not too much to be directly executed!
Hearing the sternness in Zhang Peng's tone, Zhang Hongxing waved his hand with a smile on his face, and said: "It's just a dispute between juniors, why should it be so serious? Today is the family's annual family banquet, and with the celebration of Yu'er's promotion to the Divine Master, is it possible that you really want to make someone's blood splash on the spot and ruin everyone's interest?"
Looking at Zhang Hongxing's seemingly peaceful smiling face, and feeling that many people around him had more or less approval on their faces, Zhang Peng's face was suffocated, and he said: "Since the eldest brother thinks that Xiao Ye is wrong first, he must defend this cheap slave, I have nothing to say." But as the defender of the Zhang family rules, if I get around this kid so easily today, what face will I have to be this great elder in the future?
"Come on, don't be a big hat buttoned up yourself like some messenger of justice. ”
At this time. saw Zhang Peng put on a face of doing his duty for the family. A word came out. Many of the elders of the older generation around him couldn't help frowning, and the fat man snorted coldly: "It seems that after being sent out of the family, he is no longer a member of the Zhang family." Today we are here to attend the family banquet, but we are just guests invited by the old man. This comrade Great Elder, don't talk about clan rules anymore. If you play like this, the whole Zhengyuan Dalu will have to listen to you!"
"You!" Hearing this, Zhang Peng's brows shook fiercely, and his angry beard trembled. Indeed, as the fat man said, once he is sent out of the family, as long as he has not been selected by the clan, he is not a member of the Zhang family, so his so-called clan rules are also useless to this person.
"Grandpa, don't deal with this barbarian from the backwoods. ”
Glancing at the fat man with a fierce look, Zhang Yu also found that the other party was difficult, just chewing the tongue dispute, but he was afraid that his side would fall behind more and more. So he took two steps forward, looked at Zhang Hao with a smile on his face, and said, "I want my cousin to return to the family this time." It's not just that you're a guest at Zhang's house, right? You know, even if you're an outsider, you're quite close to the high-level people in the clan. It's okay to enjoy some generous treatment. But in three months, isn't it too preferential to use up four top-grade holy fruits plus eight medium-grade holy fruits that contain spiritual qualities? You know, these resources are much richer than the allocation of a middle-class core disciple of the family in a year!"
"What? Xiao Yu, is there such a thing?"
The next moment, Zhang Dian, the fourth elder standing beside Zhang Yu, stood up closely, pretending to be surprised, and said: "The distribution of cultivation resources for the core children of the family and the elite children of the inner sect is all drawn up by the ten elders of the clan and the head of the family, otherwise the resources in the clan will be the same."
Before he finished speaking, looking at the jade pendant swaying gently in Zhang Hongxing's hand, Zhang Dian's cheeks twitched, and he said: "Unless it is used by the family guard, it is okay, no one has any opinions!"
"It's good if you don't have an opinion, the second ancestor has personally spoken, if you have an opinion, you can go to his old man to talk about it!" Looking at Zhang Dian's quick reaction to change his words, he stopped making a sound with a black face after speaking, Zhang Hongxing sneered in his heart.
At this moment, as Zhang Dian's face was silent, the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while. And some of the old people who were watching around looked at Zhang Yu and Zhang Peng with a little disappointment in their eyes. From the very beginning, this grandson pointed the finger at Zhang Hao, although he was a little anxious, but he was also aggressive, which can also be seen from the two people's hearts.
"Zhang Hao, there is a kind of Lao Tzu coming out!"
The next moment, a roaring sound suddenly erupted at the gate of the square, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. And when he raised his eyes and saw the figure that was not tall, but extremely sturdy, Zhang Hongxing frowned slightly.
The person who appeared in front of him was Zhang Zefan, the eldest grandson of the seventh elder Zhang Shenghua, because his phantom beast had some congenital deficiencies in its foundation when breaking through the divine beast, so the ascension of the realm after promotion was much slower than that of ordinary divine beasts. If not, his strength is likely to surpass Zhang Lei and become the second person in the Zhang family. In the Zhang family, Zhang Shenghua and Zhang Peng are not only cousins, but also in-laws, and the relationship is very close, so it also makes Zhang Zefan and Zhang Yu very close on weekdays.
Walking into the entrance, Zhang Zefan's eyes swept away, and finally settled on Zhang Hao, his face suddenly set off a little fierce, and he didn't care about the presence of so many elders present, and walked over with great momentum.
"Whoosh"
There were still five or six zhang away from Zhang Hao, Zhang Zefan's soles of his feet turned on the ground, his strength surged to the surface of his body, and he threw a punch at Zhang Hao in a flash.
"Smack"
Unexpectedly, it was none other than Zhang Peng who stopped this punch. Then he twisted his palm, grabbed Zhang Zefan's wrist, and said coldly: "Zefan, what are you doing? The people present are all seniors in the clan, so wild, if there is no proper reason, I will never spare you!"
Hearing this, Zhang Zefan glared at Zhang Hao, who had an indifferent face, viciously, and immediately turned his head to point to the two figures behind him, and said, "Second uncle, look!"
"Second uncle, you have to make the decision for your nephew!"
Looking at Zhang Zefan's point, when he saw Zhang Pu's appearance at the moment, even Zhang Hao couldn't help but shake his cheeks. The other party's face is now deformedly swollen and black, and there are blood stains on the corners of his eyes and mouth. And he limped between walks. As miserable as it is, it can be as miserable as it gets. It seems that in order to find fault. He did not hesitate to use his body to perform a bitter trick.
"Zhang Pu, you are" Zhang Peng hurriedly walked two steps faster, grabbed Zhang Pu, and spoke.
"Uncle Peng, it's Zhang Hao. Since we had some festivals before, we just met at the lantern festival, and I just said hello, and he punched and kicked me indiscriminately. You're going to have to call the shots for me! It hurts me to death."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Peng turned his head abruptly and said, "Zhang Hao, even though you are still an outsider, but beating me so badly as an elite child of the Zhang family, it means that I don't take care of the affairs between your juniors, presumably you have to give Brother Zhang Pu an explanation, right?"
"Dare to beat my brother to such an extent for no reason, this matter is not over today!" Hearing this, Zhang Zefan said angrily at the right time.
Seeing that these people were obviously deliberately looking for fault in a play designed by these people, the fat man was about to burst out, but he was pulled by Zhang Hao next to him.
looked indifferently at Zhang Yu, who was next to the old god. Zhang Hao shook his head and smiled. From the first sentence of Zhang Yu's provocation, to the appearance of Zhang Pu at this time. Zhang Hao has always maintained a cold and onlooker attitude, but when he saw that the other party finally played a trick of staying out of the matter and letting others come forward to make him ugly, he felt a little crying and laughing.
"You've done so much just to make me ugly. Or through me, I made the grandfather of the house ugly. ”
Glancing at Zhang Zefan who was glaring at him angrily, remembering what Zhang Lun said before, Zhang Hao couldn't help exchanging a look with Zhang Hongxing, and when he saw the other party nodding lightly, he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Pu maliciously exited at the lantern fair, I just slapped him, as for how he looks like this now, it must be that he accidentally fell on the way back." Today, in front of so many seniors in the clan, there is no need for Uncle Peng to play so many twists and turns. ”
"As the head of the family, I think it is most appropriate for my grandfather to take on the role now. Since you have a different opinion, let's say a straightforward solution!" In fact, since Zhang Zefan appeared, Zhang Hao had vaguely guessed Zhang Peng's intentions, so he simply took the lead in saying it at this time.
And these words suddenly made the eyes of everyone present focus on Zhang Peng, who was a little gloomy at the moment. Undoubtedly, Zhang Hao's flat tone and straightforward words undoubtedly regarded what he had done before as a clown.
"What do you mean, big brother?"
Even though the Zhang family is now in a confrontation, as time goes by, Zhang Peng feels more and more powerless. After all, Zhang Hongxing did not step down from that position for a day, and he had the right to be the head of the family, even if the prestige of their grandchildren in the family was increasing day by day, but according to the current situation, the matter of sealing the head of the family was still far away. But from an objective point of view, Zhang Peng, who also has a high sense of family honor, does not want to see the division of power within the clan, after all, this is indeed a great hindrance to the development of the Zhang family.
"The battle for the upper position of the family is a fair one. If the second brother has any good ideas, he might as well put it forward now. Speaking of which, Zhang Hongxing also stopped beating around the bush and said loudly.
"Okay, then we might as well make a bet. If I lose, all the power in the clan will be returned to the eldest brother, and I will only be at ease with the assignment and management of the family tasks. And if the eldest brother loses, he will directly retire to the family guard, and give Xiao Yu the position of the head of the family, how about it?"
Seeing the solemnity of Zhang Peng's face, Zhang Hongxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Zefan next to him without leaving a trace, and said, "You talk about it first!"
"First, Zhang Pu was beaten by Zhang Hao first, Ze Fan loves his brother very much, he will definitely not give up so easily in this matter today. Second, the second ancestor used the resources of the family's core children to use Zhang Hao's practice, and the eldest brother arranged his residence in the core area of the clan, so presumably Zhang Hao will definitely participate in the family's election this time, and win a place for the core children to obtain a name and return to the family. ”
"Since that's the case, then this year's Phantom Body Martial Arts Pavilion will compete for the top eight seats. Let the two of them "
"Second brother, you're so embarrassed to say such a thing!"
Zhang Hongxing snorted coldly and said, "Hao'er grew up in the Northern Wilderness since he was a child, and even if he arrived in the empire, he would only enter Zhongping Academy for three years. And in terms of age, he is more than twice as young as Zefan, can the old man agree to such a disparity in competition?"
"What the eldest brother said is a little wrong, back then, Xiong Wuji had never been trained in the Great Chongjiao, and his growth all the way was all by himself and his experience. As far as I know, Zhang Hao's nephew has also not spent the past few years in the academy. You must know that at the age of seventeen or eighteen, Xiao Yu defeated a Saint Master Master who was in the Eightfold Small Formation Realm and had a ten-star top-level demonic beast in one fell swoop. When it came to Zhang Yu's battle to become famous in the Tianshui Empire, Zhang Peng's expression couldn't hide his pride.
Seeing that Zhang Peng was obviously provoking Zhang Hao with these words, Zhang Hongxing understood from the bottom of his heart that the other party was trying to show the gap in the growth potential of the two in this way, and he could choose Zhang Zefan as his opponent, which was obviously a pit. Therefore, his face was stunned, and he said: "Even though Xiao Yu has a lot of proud achievements on the way to growth, he has never encountered such a big gap, fighting against a master who is about to step into the realm of the Divine Master with one foot, and it is a shame that you, as an elder in the clan, can say such nonsense!"
"Grandpa!"
Seeing Zhang Peng's cold face, he still wanted to refute, but Zhang Hao smiled slightly, then took two steps forward, and said, "This time I go back to Zhang's house, I also need to help an old man fulfill his last wish." Since Uncle Peng took the initiative to propose it, then it is decided!"
"Wow"
This sentence immediately set off an uproar in the entire square, and even Zhang Peng, who proposed the conditions, couldn't help but be stunned. Even if he overestimated Zhang Hao under investigation, he never expected that the other party would agree at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Peng only wants to bargain with Zhang Hongxing through this matter, and the core disciples he really selected to fight against Zhang Hao are actually the fifth in the Phantom Body Martial Arts Pavilion, and the young man who has just been signaled by Zhang Yu to go out and invite Zhang Pu is the grandson of the four elders, Zhang Nanming......!
