Chapter 167: The Zhu Family's Crisis
Volume 2: The Demon and Evil Troubled Times, Chapter 167, The Zhu Family Crisis
Just when Yu Hongcai was in a dilemma, Zhu Kaiyou seemed to hear the clues, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "This, the Zhu family really doesn't dare to do it." However, my Zhu family dares to guarantee that no matter how successful this competition, Yu will always be able to enjoy the treatment of worship in my Zhu family. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Hongcai's face was slightly better.
Tu Tian somewhat understood the strength of the Zhu family through the discussion in the audience just now, even the most powerful Second Young Master Zhu could only take thirty moves under Yu Hongcai, not to mention the others.
It is really not an easy matter to help such a family win a place. Thinking of this, Tu Tian had to speak: "Actually, I didn't dare to take the 'Flame and Wind Thorn' at the end of Yu Feng's worship just now, it was just a trick and a fluke to win." ”
Hearing Tu Tian say this, Zhu Kaiwen and Zhu Kaiyou couldn't help but nod secretly, admiring Tu Tian's generosity and deep understanding of righteousness. When Yu Hongcai first heard this, a trace of excitement flashed on his face. Immediately, he seemed to understand Tu Tian's thoughts.
He let out a long breath. opened his mouth and said: "Defeat is defeat, there is nothing to hide." Since what has been promised, there is really no reason to give up halfway. I'll just stay and participate in this competition. ”
It's just that he didn't explain that the so-called promised thing refers to promising the Zhu family to be worshipped, or agreeing to Tu Tian's gambling fight, and he will always protect the Zhu family after defeat.
Tu Tian didn't dig deeper, he did this just to give the Zhu family a favor. Of course, if the Zhu family can maintain the status of the three major families, Yu Hongcai stays, which is actually a good choice.
The group came to the hall of the Zhu family's conference room, and after the guests of honor sat down. Zhu Kaiyou began to formally introduce each other to everyone. The second young master of the Zhu family is Zhu Yunxiong, the second son of Zhu Kaiyou.
Zhu Yunxiong has had a talent for cultivation since he was a child, but when he broke through the spirit master in retreat to impact the realm of the Spirit Ancestor, he was disturbed by external forces and almost went mad. Later, the family spent a lot of strength, and although he kept his spiritual ancestor cultivation, it also left sequelae because of this.
The spiritual acupoint in the chest is damaged, resulting in poor operation of spiritual power, and the fight for a short time is okay, but after a long time, after the spiritual power runs a few times, the spiritual acupoint on the chest will be opened, and the spiritual power operation will be unsustainable.
"According to the rules of the Qujiang County competition, since ancient times, the three major families of Li, Wang and Zhu have jointly competed for nine places, and the remaining one place has been fought for by other forces.
However, as my Zhu family gradually declined, although the Zhu family is still one of the three major families in name, it can only retain one place for several consecutive terms. The other two places have been divided between Wang and Li's family.
...... In the last competition, our Zhu family also tried their best to keep the last place.
In the hall of the conference room, Zhu Kaiyou introduced the situation of Qujiang County Dabi with some embarrassment.
"Master of the Zhu family, you better get to the point, what should we do to keep the status of your Zhu family. Tu Tian has no interest in the past affairs of the Zhu family, he just wants to know what kind of difficulties he is facing now, so that he can take corresponding countermeasures.
When Zhu Kaiyou heard this, he said with a straight face: "The competition in Qujiang County is divided into two steps according to the convention. In the first step, the three major families will each set up the ring and become the champion. Other forces in Qujiang County can send representatives to challenge the three major families. If any of the three families fails, a spot must be relinquished. It is distributed among other idle forces. ”
"If all three families hold the ring, then each of the three families has three places, right?" Yu Hongcai asked.
"It used to be like this, though. With the decline of my Zhu family, this rule has also been broken. Wang and Li proposed a new rule for three to compete for nine places again. This is actually completely aimed at my Zhu family. Zhu Kaiwen said angrily.
"The quota of the three families is redistributed?" Although Tu Tian knew that things would not be so simple, he still couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, it's the three families that each sent representatives to fight to decide where the nine places belonged. Zhu Kaiyou explained.
"That is to say, in order to maintain the status of the Zhu family, our first step is to withstand the challenges of other second-rate and third-rate forces. And then compete with the Wang and Li families?" Tu Tian finally understood the general situation of the competition when he heard this.
"This is indeed the case. However, because the Wang Li family is powerful, almost no one from the other forces in Qujiang County dares to challenge their two families, so almost all the challenges are aimed at our Zhu family. In the last competition, our Zhu family paid a tragic price to hold the ring, and by the time the last three competed, they were already powerless. can only watch as the Wang and Li families divide the quota. In the end, the Zhu family used their hole cards, and it was not easy to keep a place. ”
That is, since the last term, those second-rate and third-rate forces in Qujiang County have even threatened that the Zhu family is no longer worthy of the name, and they want to remove the Zhu family from the three major families. It is said that this time, they have formed an alliance and want to replace our Zhu family. ”
"What kind of helpers have the Wang and Li families found, have you inquired?" Yu Hongcai asked.
"The biggest hole card of the Wang family now is Xu Xiuxian, a high-ranking disciple of Donghua Sanren. ”
"Donghua Sanren!" Yu Hongcai gasped and said, "Fifty years ago, I swept many Spirit Sect masters in the Qingmu Continent with a purple gold hook, and none of them were defeated, and in the end, I was defeated by the Donghua Sanren of the Qingyuan Holy Peak!"
"It is this person, Xu Xiuxian is said to be his only true disciple, in fact, it can be imagined. It is rumored that this Xu Xiuxian was already a Spirit Ancestor as early as eight years ago. Zhu Kaiyou sighed lightly and explained further.
In addition, among the descendants of the Wang family, there are also two amazing talents, one is called Wang Hongyang, and the other is called Wang Hongdao. As for the Li family, there are also two people who have been cultivated with all their might, Long Feng, Li Shimin and Li Xiancheng. As for what masters they hired, it is not known at this time. ”
"On the other hand, my Zhu family, the only ones who can fight this time are Tu Xianfeng, Yu Xianfeng and my son Zhu Yunxiong. It is about the glory of my Zhu family for thousands of years, and on behalf of the Zhu family, I ask the two of you to worship!"
After Zhu Kaiyou finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Tu Tian and Yu Hongcai.
Tu Tian and Yu Hongcai returned the salute one after another.
"Don't worry, since we have promised you, we will try our best to keep the glory of the Zhu family. Is it, Brother Yu?" Tu Tian smiled at Yu Hongcai.
"That's right, we'll do our best" Yu Hongcai saw that Tu Tian was so confident, and he didn't show weakness.
"Thank you two, in order to show the sincerity of my Zhu family, I will bring two of them to my Zhu family's treasure house and choose two magic weapons. In addition, it was supposed to wait until the end of the competition to open the Zhu family's medicine pool. Now I have decided to open the medicine pool in advance and let the three of you cultivate in the medicine pool in order to reach the best state and welcome the big competition of Qujiang County. ”
Speaking of the Zhu family's treasure house, Tu Tian and Yu Hongcai were not too moved. However, when they heard the medicine pool, their expressions couldn't help but move.
As for the medicine pool, Tu Tian had also soaked it before, but he didn't know what the difference would be in the medicine pool of the Zhu family. Come to think of it, the wood here is full of spiritual power, and the medicinal herbs are sufficient, and the medicine pool configured should not be bad.
After coming to the Zhu family's treasure house, Tu Tian and the two casually looked at the treasures here, but they were not in a hurry to make a move. The most valuable thing here is some spiritual weapons.
Yu Hongcai didn't need a spiritual weapon because he already had a Burning Sun Spear, so he only chose an elixir that could improve his cultivation, and a spiritual weapon cloak for defense.
Since Tu Tian was not used to using spiritual weapons, he couldn't use those pills that improved his spiritual cultivation. was going to give up, but when he turned on the spiritual power detection, he found that in an inconspicuous position in the treasure house, there was an arrow bag lying quietly, and there were only two or three arrows left in it.
It was such an inconspicuous quiver, but Tu Tian found that his spiritual power could not detect it.
"One of our seniors accidentally picked it up when we were exploring in a cave. This quiver and the arrows inside seem to have a kind of magic power, which will suck the spiritual power from people's bodies" Seeing that Tu Tian's gaze stayed on the quiver, Zhu Kaiyou, who came with him, explained.
"Oh" Tu Tian walked over with interest, picked up the quiver, and sure enough, there was a kind of suction force, as if he wanted to suck something from Tu Tian's body.
"It should be to suck away spiritual power, fortunately, I don't have spiritual power on my body" Tu Tian secretly wondered in his heart.
"I just want this," Tu Tian picked up the quiver and said to Zhu Kaiyou behind him.
"This, it's useless to put this anyway, so it's a gift to Tu for worship. Tu worship can choose two other magic weapons, so that it can also improve the combat power during the competition. Zhu Kaiyou saw that Tu Tian chose an inconspicuous quiver, and kindly reminded Tu Tiandao.
"In that case, well, then I'll pick another piece of defensive armor. That's right, just this Lang Evil Secret Essence Armor" Tu Tian pointed to a spiritual weapon armor in front of him.
Zhu Kaiyou immediately took off the armor and handed it over to Tu Tian, reminding Tu Tian again: "Do you want to pick another weapon for Tu Xian?"
"No, I said okay, just take two. Besides, I'm used to using my hands, not weapons," Tu Tian shook his head.
"Since this is the case, the old man is not reluctant. Seeing this, Zhu Kaiyou couldn't say anything.
That night, Tu Tian was arranged in the VIP courtyard, and Zhu Kaiyou specially confessed, rest well, and get ready. Tomorrow morning, the three of them will be brought into the medicine pool.
After Tu Tian practiced the Phantom Lost Trace Walk and Overlord Fist outside the room for a while, he entered the room and went to bed. Now, although he doesn't have to sleep and can still recuperate by meditating, he has become accustomed to natural sleep.
However, even when he was sleeping, the Jade Void Taiqing Jue in his body was constantly running, absorbing the spiritual power around him. At the same time, the blue silk thread between the brown ring and the purple gold gourd on his chest also began to teleport after Tu Tian fell asleep, but now it had penetrated deep into the muscles and bones, and the blue light could no longer be seen from the outside.
When he got up the next day, someone had already come to spread the word, telling Tu Tian to prepare to enter the medicine pool.
