Chapter 22: Under the Eight Faces Mountain

Xia Lianfeng was happy to see the closeness of the Xia family and the Hua family.

Since he decided to agree to marry Xia Qingran to Hua Yingqiu, he has already stepped on the war ship of the Hua family. But he didn't want Xia Zihan and Hua Yingqiu to get too close, and his own daughter was always precious.

The territory of Jiangnan is extremely vast, and the coast of the East China Sea also belongs to Jiangnan, but I don't know when the area along the coast of the East China Sea is mainly called the coast of the East China Sea.

Among them, Jiangnan City is the most central area in the south of the Yangtze River, many families gather in the huge Jiangnan City, there are the first Shen family in the east of the city, the Hua family occupies the west of the city, and the domineering Zhou family and the emerging Ye family occupy the south and north of the city respectively.

These four families fought against each other, and although there was constant friction among the small families who depended on them underneath, they did not really hurt their bones. The four great families are naturally laissez-faire.

Now that the situation has changed, the Zhou family has obtained the Guiru Boundary Monument, the Dragon Clan's Holy Land that the ancient sages have not been able to set foot in. The dragon clan that has disappeared in history for tens of millions of years may be about to return, and this opportunity is in the hands of the Zhou family.

In the past few days, the inn in the south of the city has long been unable to squeeze out the forces from all sides, and countless worships have flown to the Zhou family's mansion, but the Zhou family has changed their usual arrogant and domineering temperament, and has actually learned to forbear.

The Zhou family's mansion is not a courtyard, but a very broad mountain, known as Bamian Mountain, which looks the same from that direction.

The family occupies the only mountain in Jiangnan City.

"Zhou Da, where did the head of the family go?" In the eight-sided mountain, in the hall, eight or nine Zhou family members gathered here.

Zhou Da is the eldest of more than ten black-clothed people, and this group of black-clothed people with the lowest cultivation level of the Gathering Star Realm has a unified name within the Zhou family called the dark guard, and each generation of the dark guard is fifteen people, and they have always only obeyed the dispatch of the successive heads of the Zhou family.

The criteria for the selection of the dark guard are very strict, and they must reach the realm of the Gathering Star Realm before the age of thirty, and a person with such a talent can already be regarded as a genius in other families, but in the Zhou family, it is only the minimum standard for stepping into the dark guard.

Zhou Da is the captain of the secret guard, if the head of the family is not there, he said that he is the controller of the Zhou family's secret guard, because his strength naturally cannot be underestimated.

A few days ago, Hutou Peak said goodbye to Zhou Dao with the Guiru Boundary Monument and disappeared, and the secret guard and his party were ordered by Zhou Dao to return to Jiangnan City with Lin Yu, which was a smooth journey, but who knew that the day before they arrived in Jiangnan City, they encountered a group of assassins, and the strength of nearly 30 people on the other side was also above the Gathering Star Realm, and they naturally suffered a heavy defeat.

But Zhou Da has always been strange, there are many families who can have such strength, but there are few families who have broken ground on the head of the Zhou family. Which family do these people belong to?

What made Zhou Da even more strange was that the other party didn't seem to have the idea of annihilating them, and all the fights and temptations were aimed at the young man named Jin Xin.

Similarly, fortunately, the other party did not have the intention to kill, otherwise this might be the first battle in which the Dark Guard was completely wiped out since its establishment.

What is worse now is not that the young man was rescued, but that the news that Zhou Dao, the head of the Zhou family, was missing and that the Ruin Boundary Monument was hidden in the Zhou family spread all over Jiangnan.

The news that Zhou Dao got the Boundary Monument of the Ruins was only known to the secret guards who followed Zhou Dao to Hutou Peak, but in a few days, the news spread far and wide, who was secretly manipulating?

As the leader of the secret guard, Zhou Da is being interrogated, being interrogated by those core members of the Zhou family.

Where is the head of the house?

With this question, Zhou Da also wanted to know, where did the head of the Zhou family go? Now the Zhou family is embattled, and almost all the families in Jiangnan are aimed at the Zhou family, and even the maritime sect has come to intervene.

"I don't know." Zhou Da replied, although the dark guards were not damaged, they were all wounded, and almost all of the fifteen were recuperating.

"Did the head of the family really get the Boundary Monument of the Ruins?" The person who asked the question was the elder of the Zhou family, who was a generation higher than Zhou Dao's father.

"The head of the family left first with the boundary monument, and when we left, we took the young man from the Hanging Mirror Palace back to the family first." Zhou Da replied.

"What about the boy?"

"Someone took it."

"You said it was robbed?" The old man of the Zhou family questioned, his face was cold, and he snorted coldly, obviously not believing Zhou Da's words. "In Jiangnan, who dares to rob my Zhou family?"

Zhou Da said that he had seen the roads of many families, but none of them were on the line.

"None of your guards have been damaged?"

"Is the clan elder suspicious of our secret guard?" Zhou Dazheng said, this point is indeed suspicious, but because of this, it is really inappropriate to suspect the secret guard.

Zhou Da, as the leader of the Zhou family's secret guards, must definitely maintain the dignity of the secret guards, if there is one, there will be two, and it is best not to even generate this time.

"This matter is suspicious, which family in Jiangnan dares to attack our Zhou family's secret guards?"

"Maybe it's the people sent by the Hanging Mirror Palace, and they can't say it." Zhou Da replied, because he was most familiar with the number of roads of the Jiangnan family, especially the top four families, but none of them could match the number of roads.

Zhou Da had to be suspicious of the later contingent of the Hanging Mirror Palace.

"Hanging Mirror Palace?" The elder of the Zhou family said.

For the Hanging Mirror Palace, it would be impossible for the Zhou family to be fearless.

Kunlun is not divided by the major families in the south of the Yangtze River, with the four major families as the most. In Kunlun in the Northern Regions, there is only one, and that is the Hanging Mirror Palace, not only because of the creation of the master, but also because the depth of the inheritance of the Hanging Mirror Palace is unparalleled, and everyone suspects that the master is still in the world.

Whoever can live for 10,000 years, perhaps the Master can.

"More than thirty people have different numbers of exercises, except for the Hanging Mirror Palace, my subordinates can't think of any other family in Jiangnan that can cultivate such a team." Zhou Da said, in that battle, their secret guards fifteen people were almost pressed and beaten, it is not too much to say that it is a toy, as long as one person shows his specialty, the other party will immediately show the corresponding spell to suppress.

The secret guards were very aggrieved, and they almost had no choice but to let people take away Jin Xin from the Hanging Mirror Palace.

In the hall, everyone was silent, maybe because of the intervention of the Hanging Mirror Palace, or maybe because of other reasons, but what they had to face was that the Zhou family was now the target of the public, but Zhou Dao, the head of the Zhou family, was nowhere to be found, and it was still unknown whether the Zhou family's heritage could survive the targeting of all the families in Jiangnan.

Just when everyone was silent, a person walked in from outside the door and said, "Tomorrow, if someone worships the mountain, please fight, regardless of life or death."

"The momentum of the Zhou family cannot be extinguished, how can our clan bow its head?"

The speaker is the last generation of the Zhou family, Zhou Dao's father Zhou Chengying. Zhou Dao disappeared, Zhou Shu was difficult to call the situation, so he came out and walked out of the cave in the mountain behind Bamian Mountain, maybe he is the person who knows his son Zhou Dao best, understands what he does, if it happens, the Zhou family can dominate Jiangnan and fight against the Hanging Mirror Palace.

The greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

As long as their Zhou family can carry it this time, no one in Jiangnan, or even in the whole world, can restrict his Zhou family.

Zhou Chengying's words set the tone of the Zhou family's current coping strategy, if those clan elders are allowed to discuss, the Zhou family may be torn apart and self-defeating.

……

In the south of Jiangnan City, the inn was already full, and almost all the cultivators were staring at the situation on Bamian Mountain, and the timing of Zhou Dao's appearance was the moment when they made a difficulty.

"Senior brother, where did Zhou Dao go? Why haven't you been in Jiangnan for so long? A young girl asked, she came from a sect on the overseas fairy island, and she had no concept of the family in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that she has been in Jiangnan City for several days, and she is really tired of staying.

"How important is the Boundary Monument of the Ruins, how can Zhou Dao come back so easily? Let's be patient. The young man in white said that he had started earlier, and he knew better that these battles were not for him to participate in.

Not only them, but also many families or sectarian forces from all over Jiangnan also think the same way.

What kind of scene will it be tomorrow, the situation has become more and more intense, and it may not be possible to wait for Zhou Dao to appear, and many families no longer have that patience.

……

"Under the moon, Wang Qian came to worship the mountain."

The Yuexia Sect is a sect on the islands of the East China Sea, with a heritage of thousands of years, and it is the top three existence among all the sects in the East China Sea, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Qian dares to take the lead when many forces choose to wait and see.

"Look, Elder Wang Qian of the Yuexia Sect worships the mountain." Someone said.

Wang Qian's voice was clear, and his spiritual power transmitted the sound to all directions, and almost the entire Bamian Mountain heard the sound of worshipping the mountain.

"Elder Wang Qian is destined to cultivate in the Star Realm, and the Yuexia Sect asked him to come to worship the mountain definitely because he wanted to knock on the gate of the Bamian Mountain, the head of the Zhou family has not yet appeared, maybe he is hiding in the Bamian Mountain, it is more likely that the Zhou family has entered the realm of returning to the ruins."

"I'm afraid that the mountain gate of the Zhou family is not so easy to knock open, the Zhou family can occupy the Bamian Mountain, and the inheritance is far from being comparable to the Yuexia Sect, if the Zhou family is silent, he Wang Qian will dare to really break into the mountain gate?"

“……”

Everyone talked about it, and forcibly breaking through the mountain gate meant starting a war. At the moment, whoever has the certainty to dare to break into the mountain gate of the Zhou family, not to mention the big array on the mountain on the eight sides, just the guards in front of the mountain gate will have to spend some means.

Wang Qian stood in the air, his face was only in his thirties, in fact, he was already an old man of nearly 100 years old, because of the exercises of the Yuexia Sect, he had raised a good skin, just looking at his face, he must have been a personable person when he was young.

Wang Qianyi was dressed in a white robe, embroidered with a waning moon on his chest, holding a paper fan, and looking leisurely. He is not in a hurry, now that he is worshipping the mountain openly, someone from the Zhou family must come out to answer.

"What does the Moon Sect mean?" There was a voice in the Eight Faces Mountain.

Wang Qian folded the fan and said respectfully: "Worshipping the mountain is the meaning of entering the mountain, and the king of the Yuexia Sect heard the name of the Zhou family for a long time, and specially visited the Zhou family."

"Hmph, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." The voice from the mountains came again, and it could be described as direct. "Recently, there have been many inconveniences in the family, please go back to the Yuexia Sect, and my Zhou family will visit in person another day."

When Wang Qian heard this, he said: "It is rumored that Zhou Dao, the head of the Zhou family, has obtained the holy land of the Dragon Clan, and I am waiting for a special visit, is it the hospitality of the Zhou family to refuse it?"

Wang Qian's words pulled all the sectarian forces into a line, indeed, their purpose is the same, they are all for the Dragon Clan's Returning to the Ruins Realm, who is not tempted by such a holy land secret realm? The realm of the dragon clan's return to the ruins, who is not tempted by such a holy land secret realm?
