Chapter 3 Leave a Reward Chapter 4 Fight to the Death
"What! Wuzi Cailian! Wuzi Cailian, who can increase the chance of breaking through the weather realm by two percent!" Even Chen Zhong, who has always been known for his calmness, stood up from the chair suddenly, Huo Ran turned his head to look at Zhou Runchang, and his green eyes revealed a thick greed.
It's no wonder that Chen Zhong is so excited, these old guys have been trapped in the quenching qi realm for more than ten years because of the lack of weather, seeing that the longevity is about to end, everything will turn to dust, and suddenly there is a chance to continue their lives, and it is reasonable for them to be crazy about it.
Wang Yue and Li Maochuan also stared at Zhou Runchang with unkind eyes, and they were ready to join forces to kill them.
When he heard Zhao Tianxing mention Wuzi Cailian, Zhou Runchang was shocked, his eyes flickered a few times, and the next moment he was well covered up.
"Hehe, Elder Zhao's news is really well-informed! Then I will take out the Five Sons Cailian as a reward to encourage the younger generations!" Although Zhou Runchang's heart was dripping blood, he knew that if he didn't take out the Five Sons Cailian, it was estimated that after today, the Zhou Mansion would become history in Liuyun City, and the four major families would not tolerate any family's strength surpassing them.
"Haha, Patriarch Zhou can take out such a valuable thing, it can be seen that he cares for the younger generations! In order to prevent the younger generation from destroying the spirit casting ceremony, I suggest that the city gate be blocked, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Zhao Tianxing looked at Zhou Runchang with a smile and said.
"Okay, we all agree, and this matter will be handled by the people of our four major families. To protect the safety of Liuyun City, we have an unshirkable responsibility!" Wang Yue and the others immediately issued the order to block the city gate, which could be regarded as a complete retreat for the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Runchang sat back in the chair decadently, and then realized that it was a trap from the beginning, and it was still a trap that had to be entered.
It's useless to do anything now, after the Zhou Mansion loses this chance to rise, it is unknown whether it can exist safely in Liuyun City.
The spirit casting ceremony in the square was still going on, and Zhou Xingyu stopped when he rushed to the seventh order of the mortal level and began to cast his spiritual energy. The seventh order of the mortal level had reached his limit, after all, Wang Xing's experience was in front of him.
Li Wenxuan also stopped at the seventh order of the mortal level, and if she can support it until now, she can also laugh at many people.
After a while, Li Yurou, Zhou Shengjie and the others finally stopped at the ninth order of the mortal level. Although they were one step away from breaking through to the power of the emperor-level bloodline, the difficulty of that threshold discouraged them. There are only two people left in the square, Zhao Ziyang and Zhou Haoxuan.
Zhao Tianxing proudly stroked his snow-white goatee, and the smile on his face was like a flower. In his opinion, Zhou Haoxuan's waste is not worth mentioning at all, the first is none other than Zhao Ziyang, and the fifth son Cailian is beckoning to him.
Wang Yue and the others' faces were gloomy and about to drip water, the strength of the Zhao Mansion was already in the first place, if the strength of the five sons Cailian was further improved, they could only live on the snort of others in the future, which was not what they wanted.
The three of them inadvertently exchanged glances, and began to think in their hearts about the possibility of the three families joining forces to destroy the Zhao Mansion.
There was a soft sound between the heavens and the earth, and several people in the square who were casting their spiritual qi felt that the originally docile spiritual energy suddenly became irritable, and they were rampage in their bodies, looking like they were about to break out of their bodies.
The people on the stage also noticed the strangeness of the aura, and before they could figure out what the reason was, they saw a golden light falling from the sky and falling straight into the aura above Zhao Ziyang's head.
"The Emperor... Tribe... Blood... The power!" Zhao Ziyang's body trembled with excitement, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Wang Yue and the others' faces changed a few times, and the cold light in their eyes shone brightly, if they were still hesitating just now, now they have made up their minds to completely eradicate the Zhao Mansion, and they will not hesitate to pay a big price.
The crowd in the square exclaimed continuously, and it was the first time that the power of the imperial bloodline had appeared in Liuyun City since ancient times. When they saw the power of the legendary royal bloodline, the excitement in their hearts was indescribable.
"Poof" Zhao Ziyang spurted out a mouthful of blood violently, his face changed alternately red and white, and the aura above his head also flashed violently, and the aura that was gradually fused together also stopped fusing and was divided into nine halos again, but these halos exuded a faint golden yellow.
"The power of the pseudo-royal bloodline! Alas, it is almost the power of the real imperial bloodline. Zhao Tianxing's tone was a little lost.
"Yes, if he can fuse nine into one, even if it is the power of the bloodline of the lower-level royal family, this is the glory of our Liuyun City! It's a pity!" Li Maochuan said lightly, and at the same time, he was glad that Zhao Ziyang had not reached the power of the true emperor-level bloodline.
"Hmph, that's it, the first place is none other than Zhao Ziyang, what I said before has to be fulfilled!" Zhao Tianxing didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts, but he was happy to see them eating deflated and getting the Five Sons Cailian.
"It's hard to say, isn't there another person!" Wang Yue said hatefully.
Although he knew that the first place was already in Zhao Ziyang's bag, he still refused to admit defeat.
"Haha, just rely on that waste, or let you lose your heart!" Zhao Ziyang pointed to Zhou Haoxuan in the audience, and his look of disdain was overflowing.
"Hey, the power of this waste's bloodline is already the fifth order of the mortal level, and it is still increasing, it seems that we all underestimate him!" Chen Zhong said this, and the eyes of everyone on the stage stayed on the forgotten Zhou Haoxuan.
However, they were not optimistic about Zhou Haoxuan, after all, the fifth order of the mortal level was too ordinary, and there was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from breaking through to the emperor level, unless a miracle happened.
At this time, Zhou Haoxuan felt as if his body was being ignited, his body was full of raging flames, the impurities in his blood were being burned out, and at the same time, a trace of black mist that was imperceptible to the naked eye was forced out of his body.
Although the pain in his body continued to impact his mind, Zhou Haoxuan still kept to his heart, and he was still easily resisted, thanks to his hellish tempering in the past few years, this pain has become accustomed to it.
The aura above Zhou Haoxuan's head continued to light up, and it became faster and faster, and there was a tendency to catch up.
At the beginning, Zhao Ziyang was still dismissive of this, and when Zhou Haoxuan lit up the eighth aura, he couldn't sit still, and when he saw Zhou Haoxuan's light appearance, he had a faint bad feeling in his heart.
When Zhou Haoxuan lit up the ninth aura, everyone in the square stood up and looked at him dumbfounded, as if they had discovered something incredible.
The people on the stage also stood up from their chairs, looking at the handsome young man below with different expressions, Zhao Tianxing was furious in his heart, and even had the idea of killing Zhou Haoxuan.
However, this idea was quickly vetoed by him, and the other three families would not let him act indifferently, after all, the threat of the Zhou Mansion was not as big as that of the Zhao Mansion.
Wang Yue and the others hoped that Zhou Haoxuan could surpass Zhao Ziyang and prevent the Zhao Mansion from getting the five sons Cailian, but they also didn't want to leave a future that threatened them, just when they weighed the pros and cons, a vision in the air protruded.
Sanskrit chanting in the air, it seemed that there were thousands of people chanting at the same time, but none of them could hear it clearly. The crowd in the square was all prostrate on the ground, praying sincerely.
A hundred-zhang lotus throne slowly fell from the sky, the lotus throne slowly rotated, pieces of lotus phantoms fell from above, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air.
A golden pillar of light fell from the lotus throne, enveloping Zhou Haoxuan, and the nine auras above his head began to gradually merge, and a wave of ripples emanated.
When the nine auras fused together and burst out with a dazzling golden light, Zhao Tianxing sat on the chair with a decadent expression like a defeated rooster.
Li Yurou looked at Zhou Haoxuan like a fairy, her silver teeth bit her red lips tightly, her face was cloudy, and finally sighed in annoyance.
Li Wenxuan looked at Zhou Haoxuan in frustration, her eyes were full of cruelty.
Zhao Ziyang had already finished his aura casting, looking at the waste that he had disdained before, but at this time, he was shining with dazzling light, and he had surpassed himself, and he was not happy in his heart.
Just when everyone was still shocked, a halo above Zhou Haoxuan's head gradually lit up, and the two golden halos reflected each other.
"It's actually the power of the bloodline of the middle-level royal family!" Everyone in the square gasped and stared at Zhou Haoxuan with wide eyes, for fear of missing some wonderful moments.
Zhou Haoxuan felt that his body was already on the verge of collapse, if he continued, it was estimated that he would explode and die, and the magic trick in his mouth changed, and the body that was about to collapse gradually calmed down.
The Hundred Feet Lotus Throne in the air gradually dissipated, and just when everyone thought that everything was about to end, a huge coercion suddenly came.
Everyone only felt that the blood in their bodies was suddenly restless, as if they were cheering something, even a few people on the high platform, no matter how they tried all the methods, they couldn't suppress the restlessness of the blood.
A drop of golden-purple blood that exuded an astonishing coercion fell from the void, and the golden-purple blood was like the master of heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were eclipsed in front of it.
Before the golden-purple blood fell, two more drops of golden-purple blood dripped from the void one after another, and a black fragment was hidden in the last drop of golden-purple blood.
Three drops of golden-purple blood fell straight into Zhou Haoxuan's body, and the coercion shrouded in heaven and earth suddenly dissipated.
The aura between heaven and earth began to pour madly into the square, pouring into Zhou Haoxuan's body like a moth to a fire, transforming his body.
"Patriarch Zhou, on behalf of the Li Mansion, I hope that Zhou Haoxuan and Miss Li Wenxuan will marry and join our Li Mansion. Li Maochuan smiled.
"Li Maochuan, what do you mean, Wang Xing and Li Wenxuan have already made a marriage contract before, how can you change it at will, you just want to kill two birds with one stone! Hmph! I officially propose to Zhou Haoxuan on behalf of the palace, what does the Zhou patriarch think?" Wang Yue's mind moved slightly, and he knew that Li Maochuan wanted to win over Zhou Haoxuan, and he wanted to get the fifth son Cailian.
"Just because Wang Xing still wants to marry Wen Xuan, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, is it possible that the people in your palace also want to eat soft rice!" Li Maochuan said tit-for-tat.
"I won't marry that waste, I will not marry!" Li Wenxuan yelled in the audience.
"He's a waste, then you're not even as good as a waste! Come on, bring Miss Wen Xuan back. Li Maochuan said angrily.
Several people rushed out of the audience and quickly sealed Li Wenxuan's dumb hole and forcibly left the square.
"Patriarch Zhou, on behalf of the Chen Mansion, I propose to Zhou Haoxuan. Chen Zhong took a step forward and said.
"Hehe, not only the young lady in your mansion who has a word in the boudoir, but also a few in my Zhao mansion. On behalf of the Zhao Mansion, I propose to Zhou Haoxuan, and I believe that Patriarch Zhou will definitely make a wise choice!" Zhao Tianxing said in an unkind tone.
"This ...... Haoxuan He De can get such love from you, things are too sudden, I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow. Zhou Runchang was still shocked in his heart, so he had to delay for a while.
Zhao Ziyang and the others did not force Zhou Runchang too much, anyway, now that Liuyun City is completely under their control, they are not afraid of any conspiracy that Zhou Runchang will play.
"Wait, this thing that doesn't know whether to live or die is still desperately absorbing aura, and it is estimated that it will explode and die in the next moment, and it will save us from fighting!" Wang Yue sneered.
At this time, everyone discovered the abnormality, and they couldn't bear such a large amount of aura, not to mention that Zhou Haoxuan's absorption of aura showed no signs of weakening.
A large amount of spiritual energy poured into Zhou Haoxuan's meridians, and the fragile meridians were instantly cracked, and the huge pain made him experience what it means to be in pain.
It may be that Zhou Haoxuan's strong desire to survive ** and unyielding will resonate with the three drops of golden-purple blood, which was recognized by them, and the three drops of golden-purple blood turned into countless bloodlines and wandered in the meridians, repairing the already scarred meridians.
Zhou Haoxuan's dantian was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the aura, the flood desolation technique operated on its own, all the aura that poured into the dantian was purified and compressed, and a faint purple thin line slowly formed in the dantian.
"It turns out that someone has cultivated the Flood Desolation Technique, and he has also condensed the Chaos Thread, no wonder I will wake up! I don't know when I woke up last time, I don't know how long this little guy can live, no matter what, the number of fate, it's time to do something!" A faint voice came from Zhou Haoxuan's sea of knowledge.
The black fragments suspended in Zhou Haoxuan's sea of consciousness shook slightly, and a gray mist quietly filled Zhou Haoxuan's body, covering up the fluctuations of Hong Huangjue's breath.
Here, Zhou Haoxuan was also about to finish the aura casting, and when the last trace of aura was absorbed, Huo Ran opened his eyes, and a flash of essence flashed through his eyes, and a faint spiritual power swept away.
"It is worthy of the power of the royal bloodline, and the aura casting body directly has the cultivation of the second layer of the quenching qi realm!" Zhao Tianxing noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power emanating from Zhou Haoxuan's body.
When he felt the surging power in his body, Zhou Haoxuan raised his head to the sky and roared, the whistling sound resounded through the sky, piercing the golden cracked stone, and the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was swept away.
Zhou Haoxuan's gaze swept over the other people in the square, and found that they only cast spirit bodies, and did not break through directly like themselves, the corners of their mouths raised a confident arc, and their handsome faces were angular under the refraction of the sun, and a momentum that looked at the world was inadvertently revealed.
"The Casting Ceremony is over. Zhao Tianxing said expressionlessly, and casually put the spirit grass into his sleeve.
"Wait a minute, if I heard me right, you said before that there was a reward for the first place, shouldn't it be cashed out now!" Zhou Haoxuan said loudly, the originally noisy square was instantly silent, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
Zhao Tianxing's body stiffened obviously, and he slowly turned around, staring at Zhou Haoxuan with a sharp gaze like a blade.
Wang Yue and the three of them just stretched out their hands to take back the things they had taken out before, but at this time, their hands stopped in mid-air, and they were embarrassed not to take it, not to take it.
Zhou Haoxuan directly met Zhao Tianxing's sharp gaze, and his slightly immature face was fearless.
"Good! Yes! It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Since we said that there is a reward, we must keep our word, you have to take it!" Zhao Tianxing's face was gloomy like water, and with a wave of his hand, the jade box turned into a ray of light and swept away.
"Haoxuan be careful, don't be hard-......" Zhou Runchang saw at a glance that Zhao Tianxing was making a secret effort on the jade box, reminding Zhou Haoxuan that he could not take it, but it was already a step too late.
Of course, Zhou Haoxuan knew that Zhao Tianxing had moved his hands and feet, and as soon as his mind moved, the chaotic line in the dantian shook violently, and a purple spiritual power surged out, his right hand was shrouded in a layer of lilac light, and his right hand grabbed the jade box that shot at the blast.
As soon as his right hand grabbed the jade box, Zhou Haoxuan was shocked, the power from the jade box was not what he could withstand now, and his body hurriedly retreated backwards to dissolve the power on the jade box.
I saw that the clothes on my right arm exploded, the green tendons on my bare arm burst out, and blood oozed from my skin, and the whole person flew out upside down seven or eight feet away before stopping.
Zhou Haoxuan snorted, his throat was sweet, he spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, his face changed red and white alternately, he didn't know that if it wasn't for the Chaos Line that increased his spiritual power several times, he would have been seriously injured and unconscious now.
Zhao Tianxing saw that he actually took the jade box, snorted coldly, and his face turned gloomy.
Wang Yue and the others glanced at Zhou Haoxuan coldly, and turned around angrily to leave.
Zhou Runchang shook his head and smiled bitterly, put away the three jade boxes, walked to Zhou Haoxuan from the stage, and took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and put it in his hand.
"Hurry up and take this Pei Yuan Dan, you are not lightly injured, there are some things that your father will tell you. What a tiger father without a dog!haha!"
Zhou Haoxuan glanced at Zhou Runchang suspiciously, although he couldn't figure out how Zhou Runchang could be so abnormal, he still took Pei Yuandan, because his intuition told him that some things were not as simple as he saw.
Chapter 4: A Fight to the Death
Zhou Haoxuan returned to the Zhou Mansion in a daze, and Zhou Runchang asked him to go back to heal his injuries and go to the family ancestral hall in the evening. Then he hurriedly turned away, leaving him with a blank face.
Zhou Haoxuan returned to the room and sat down cross-legged, running the Flood Wilderness Technique, a purple spiritual power surged out from the dantian, and the purple spiritual power traveled all over the limbs, and where it passed, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This purple spiritual power is already comparable to some top-level healing pills, and more importantly, the source of the purple spiritual power is the chaotic thread in the dantian, but he still has one breath left, and he can come back to life.
A few hours later, Zhou Haoxuan gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, his palm was slightly clenched, feeling the surging power in his body, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's time to get what belongs to me back. Zhou Haoxuan pushed open the door, took a deep breath, and strode towards the ancestral hall.
At this time, the lights are already on, the lanterns are swaying back and forth in the gentle breeze, the leaves are rustling, and everything is so quiet and peaceful.
The ancestral hall was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound coming out of the wind, Zhou Haoxuan did not stop, and walked in with his head held high.
The ancestral hall was suddenly quiet and could hear the sound of needles, and Zhou Haoxuan found that everyone's eyes were looking at him, and his eyes showed irrepressible excitement.
"Zhou boy, I've grown so tall in the blink of an eye, and I was running around with my bare butt when I was a child, hehe, I'm old!" said a white-haired old man sitting on the main seat in the middle of the ancestral hall.
The eagle's sharp eyes, the face that is not angry and arrogant makes people dare not look directly, and the majestic body gives people a huge sense of oppression, he is Zhou Zhentian, the founder of the Zhou Mansion.
"I've seen my grandfather, my uncle, and my father. Zhou Haoxuan bent down and saluted.
"Now that you have embarked on the path of cultivation, there is no need to hide some things from you, things have to start from the Zhou Mansion's foothold in Liuyun City......" Zhou Zhentian showed a look of reminiscence, his expression was unshocked, as if he was telling someone else's affairs.
Back then, Zhou Zhentian sprung up in Liuyun City, defeated several small and medium-sized forces strongly, aroused the vigilance of the four major families, and under joint pressure, he promised that the Zhou Mansion could become the fifth major force after them, and for various reasons, Zhou Zhentian had no choice but to agree.
However, in the following time, the four major families have been secretly obstructing the development of the Zhou Mansion, especially after Zhou Haoxuan's father Zhou Juntao showed amazing talent, which made the four major families frightened and began to suppress the Zhou Mansion openly.
After secret discussions, the family decided to deliberately isolate Zhou Juntao's father and son and protect them in disguise, which led to the so-called series of exclusion and suppression.
"My nephew is here to apologize to your uncles, but I misunderstood you. Zhou Haoxuan was shocked at the same time, and respectfully saluted Zhou Runchang and them.
"It's great to see where you are today. Hehe!" Zhou Runchang said with a smile.
"Haoxuan, you have suffered all these years!" Zhou Juntao looked at Zhou Haoxuan lovingly, although he didn't say too much, but the fatherly love revealed was enough to be worth a thousand words.
Zhou Haoxuan nodded slightly, his nose was sour, and tears appeared in his eyes, but he still restrained himself and did not shed it. No one knows better than him what he has suffered and what he has done over the years.
Everyone then discussed some other things in the family, and Zhou Haoxuan was also listening, and now he was qualified to participate in the inner circle of the family. It's just that everyone in the Zhou Mansion hasn't noticed that a huge crisis is quietly coming.
In a secret room in the Zhao Mansion, the patriarchs of the four major families gathered together and were arguing fiercely about something. Zhao Tianxing looked coldly at the three people who almost didn't move, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, after arguing for so long, there is no result! Those three drops of emperor-level essence blood should not have been completely absorbed by that kid, and it takes a little effort to extract them! The five sons of Cailian belong to me, and you can take one drop of each of the three drops of emperor-level essence blood. That's it!" Zhao Tianxing said strongly.
"It's... I have no opinion!" When Wang Yue wanted to fight for greater interests, he felt that when Zhao Tianxing's cold eyes looked at him, his hair stood on end, so he had to nod in agreement.
Li Maochuan and Chen Zhong saw that Wang Yue had already agreed, and they didn't have the courage to fight any longer, so they agreed one after another.
"Then without further ado, go back and gather people to completely eradicate the Zhou Mansion! Let me warn you first, if anyone plays tricks in the battle to destroy the Zhou Mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhao Tianxing shook his palm violently, and the celadon teacup instantly turned into powder, falling from his hand like quicksand.
Wang Yue's faces changed, and they completely lost those thoughts in their hearts, otherwise Zhao Tianxing would kill them without hesitation. The three of them said goodbye and left quickly, preparing for the destruction of the Zhou Mansion.
"A group of rat-eyed people!" Zhao Tianxing glanced at the backs of the three of them with disdain, and ordered to gather people.
"Patriarch, something is wrong...... a subordinate of the Zhou Mansion ran into the ancestral hall in a panic.
"What's so flustered, what kind of system!" Zhou Runchang frowned, and his face was unhappy.
"Old lady, patriarch, most of the people from the four major families are rushing to our Zhou Mansion, and the people who come are not good!"
"What are they trying to do?" Zhou Runchang experienced strong winds and waves, and couldn't help but panic in the face of the four major families joining forces.
"What are you panicking about! Juntao and Shiwen, you take Wuzi Cailian and the children to go through the secret passage first, and the others will follow me to meet the enemy!" Zhou Zhentian waved his hand, and a jade box fell into Zhou Juntao's hands, leading the others to leave quickly.
"Shiwen, you go and bring Sheng Jie and them all to the secret passage to rendezvous. Zhou Juntao said.
Zhou Shiwen nodded slightly, and after a few shakes of his body, he disappeared from sight.
"Let's go too!" Zhou Juntao glanced at the ancestral hall with a gloomy expression.
The secret passage of the Zhou Mansion was under a rockery, and as soon as Zhou Haoxuan and the others arrived at the rockery, there was a fierce fighting sound outside the Zhou Mansion, and the huge firelight illuminated half of the sky, and even the ground shook a few times.
"Let's go!" Zhou Juntao urged, his eyes reluctantly glanced at the direction of the fight, and finally jumped into the secret passage with a ruthless heart.
As soon as he entered the secret passage, the secret passage shook violently, the earth fell, and a wave of dust and air came towards him.
"Not good" Zhou Haoxuan's heart sank, this was obviously the destruction of the secret passage, or the damage was very serious.
"Damn, the secret passage is blocked, get out of here!"
Everyone looked at the secret passage with gloomy faces, and a trace of despair swelled in their hearts, it seems that the four major families know everything about the Zhou Mansion, and it seems that this time it is really auspicious.
"Fourth brother, this secret path seems to be completely abolished, now there is only a battle to the death, if there is a chance, you must send Haoxuan out!
"Then let's fight, there are no cowards in the Zhou Mansion!" Zhou Juntao's whole person exuded a fighting intent, and his eyes showed cold killing intent.
Without hesitation, everyone rushed towards the gate of the Zhou Mansion, where the battle was most intense.
