When the badgers saw that the two were not fooled, they retreated. Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie didn't care about it, and went straight to the Zhou family's stronghold where Elder Shi was.

The clan land of the Zhou family is neither in Jinzhou nor in Yinxu, but in a hidden mountain in the southernmost part of the Great Zhou. This is something that many people don't know. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Zhou family's land, unless the Zhou family takes the initiative to invite it.

That place was very dangerous for many people, and if it wasn't for the invitation of the Zhou family, not many people would dare to go alone. The reason why the Zhou family was able to settle the clan land there was also because of some special reasons.

The Zhou stronghold where Jinzhou is located is the largest stronghold of the Zhou family within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou stronghold in Yinxu is not large.

The Zhou family's stronghold in Jinzhou City is called the Zhou Chamber of Commerce. It is the place where the Zhou family does business here. It was a wide building with red bricks and green tiles, and although it was not in the main city of Golden State, it was still very recognizable, and Zhou Xiaodie naturally knew the path.

The two soon arrived at the Zhou Chamber of Commerce. The gatekeeper naturally knows Zhou Xiaodie and is busy leading them in.

Elder Shi had been lying here for almost ten days, and his appearance was very miserable, only to see that his bones were shattered, his meridians were broken, and he seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. At first glance, Xiao Che knew that Elder Shi's cultivation had been scrapped and clean, and there was no possibility of recovery.

Seeing Elder Shi's miserable appearance, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie, who were familiar with him, were very sad.

It's only been a month, and Elder Shi, who has given the two of them a lot of care in the deserted city, has become like this. Zhou Xiaodie hurriedly walked over to Elder Shi's bed and asked why.

Elder Shi was also emotional when he saw the two of them coming. Zhou Xiaodie hurriedly reassured him.

Under Zhou Xiaodie's order, the rest of the people all retreated, and now there were only Elder Shi, Xiao Che, and Zhou Xiaodie lying on the bed in the room.

Although Elder Shi was weak, he had no problem speaking.

"Miss, little brother Xiao Che, you are finally here. Elder Shi's emotions finally calmed down under Zhou Xiaodie's comfort.

"Uncle Shi, what the hell is going on?" Zhou Xiaodie's nose was sore, and she almost cried.

"The eldest lady doesn't have to be like this, as a martial artist, she has long had such an awareness, but it is still quite difficult to accept it when it really falls on herself. After Elder Shi calmed down, he comforted Zhou Xiaodie instead, in fact, Xiao Che and the others both knew that it was Elder Shi who was comforting himself.

On that day, the old man led 72 people to Yuzhou, Jinshan County, to investigate, and the reason why it became the target of investigation was actually only because there were many recent disappearances of babies there. So after receiving the report, I personally led someone there. I was also going to come to Golden State on business, and it wasn't too far from Golden State. It can be reached in half a day with my repair. So I went first, followed by the other seventy-two. Elder Shi struggled to calm his emotions.

Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie listened quietly and didn't say much.

"When I first arrived, I disguised myself and gained a lot in seven days. I found out that the disappearance of the babies was related to a large local family. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I didn't rush it out to be on the safe side. Over the course of seven days, the seventy-two people also arrived. I sent them around the clock, taking turns to monitor the house, and over the course of several days they collected more and more evidence. also made the combat power of this family clear. Elder Shi tried his best to calm his tone as calmly as possible, but the slightly rapid breathing let Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie know that Elder Shi's heart was not as calm as it appeared.

They know the moment is coming.

"One night, I gave orders to encircle and suppress this large family and rescue the baby. Because our attack was so sudden, the family was taken by surprise. Soon we will wipe out all the fighting power of this family. Nearly 100 babies were also found in their house. At that time, our hearts were much more relaxed. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. Dozens of demons have emerged from the people in this family who have no combat power. Their strength is all strong, and the weakest also has a cultivation at the first level of the Supreme Realm. The strongest one is much stronger than me. Ahem. Saying this, Elder Shi coughed a few times. Apparently because of the emotion.

Xiao Che, as a physician, was busy massaging Elder Shi, which relieved his cough.

"Under this kind of combat power, all seventy-two people under my command were killed, and I was the only one who escaped and was seriously wounded. If it weren't for being rescued by a senior who passed through Yuzhou, I'm afraid that even I would not be able to escape death. I saw with my own eyes the demons slaughtering everyone in that large household, including the babies who had not had time to be saved. And I can't do anything about it. Although that senior was strong, he couldn't leave any of the demons behind, and in the end, he let them retreat. I only brought back from a serious injury, and if it weren't for the information I brought back, I wouldn't have left my body to this day. Hearing this, Elder Shi actually had a will to die.

Xiao Che could understand him, after all, it was difficult for a strong person to fall to such a point.

"Miss, the most important thing I have not told anyone is that I waited for you to come. That is, there are spies of the demon clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are likely to be in a high position. This matter is not trivial, you also know the relationship between us and the Yin family, it is very complicated, you must inform your father about this matter, no one here can trust you except you. After speaking, Elder Shi seemed to be even older.

"Elder Shi, Xiao Che has something to ask for. Xiao Che also saw that Elder Shi's heart was now like ashes, and if he continued like this, he really wouldn't be able to live long. Now he can only be given a little life from the side.

"Oh, little brother Xiao, the old man is like this now, I don't know what else to do for you?" Hearing Xiao Che say this, Elder Shi felt a little more energetic. After all, he was already a crippled body to him, and he had no value. Now Xiao Che can still say that he has something to ask for himself, which is more exciting than anything else for Elder Shi.

"Elder Shi knows that I am a physician, and you just can't climb the martial arts anymore now, but you still have an ordinary lifespan. Xiao Che dares to ask for your advice. After all, your life's cultivation and experience are very precious. "Xiao Che said this on purpose, otherwise, Elder Shi would really not be able to live.

But this is also his true thoughts, the powerhouses of the Supreme Five Grades are still a minority in the world, and each of them is extremely precious. Although Elder Shi has now lost the path of martial arts, he is still able to leave his experience and comprehension behind and compile it into a book, which will be of great help to future generations.

Zhou Xiaodie knew Xiao Che's thoughts, and encouraged Elder Shi as well.

When Elder Shi heard Xiao Che say this, he was also a little more energetic, and his eyes were no longer as gray as before.

Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie were relieved when they saw him like this. Xiao Che prescribed a tonic, and Zhou Xiaodie ordered someone to buy the medicine to boil.

The two of them had learned this news from Elder Shi, and they didn't dare to reveal it at will now. After all, this matter is just too big.

For his own safety, he must not reveal half of it to others, unless he sees Zhou Xiaodie's father. But he didn't know when he would return.

Recently, the situation in Jinshan County is very strange, the previous loss of the baby has come to light, and the Zhou family has happened to such a big thing, but few people know about it. Among them, there are cases where the Zhou family deliberately conceals it, and there are also cases where the people who know the news deliberately conceal it.

Neither Xiao Che nor Zhou Xiaodie expected that the situation here would be so complicated.

In addition, Xiao Che was also sighing that with such a high cultivation as Elder Shi, he could end up like this, which made Xiao Che's pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts even stronger.

Zhou Xiaodie didn't know what Xiao Che was thinking, she was the most difficult now, after all, now Jinzhou was equivalent to her taking over. The elders who were stationed here before were all recalled because of Elder Shi's incident this time, the Zhou family is not a weak and bullying family, this time because of the sneak attack of the demon clan, the losses were heavy, and the Zhou family will never give up. Although the strength of the Zhou family alone can't do anything to the demon clan, revenge is indispensable.

This is an attitude that the Zhou family must show. Xiao Che didn't know that the Zhou family's counterattack had already begun at this time.

At this time, the head of the Zhou family, who was originally in the Qingxuan Empire, rushed back to the family directly after getting the news. Now he has summoned half of the strong men of the Zhou family to attack the demons who have found traces. Reading the Library

To this end, the Great Zhou Dynasty fully cooperated. Not only that, in the Qingxuan Empire, the Qingxuan family also supported the Zhou family with practical actions.

It is a barren and inhabited land, full of rocks and no grass, and the climate here is hot during the day and cold at night. In such an extreme environment, no one would have thought that there were many demons gathered here.

Judging from the investigation of the Qingxuan family, this is the base camp of a demon clan's exploration force. The life level of the demon race is higher than that of the human race and the demon beast. As a result, they are able to survive in such extreme environments. In fact, there are many places in the demon clan that are more extreme than this, which also leads to the extremely strong survival ability of the demon race.

Even the cockroaches in the demon beast world are incomparable. This demon clan has not been here for a short time, but they don't dare to appear blatantly at all, after all, this is inside the human race, and once it is discovered, it will be a place where there is no place to bury.

The same is true for the Terrans and the Demons.

In fact, other races can be said to be very strict in their defense against demons. They will never allow any demons to exist.

The reason why the demon clan is so sneaky to probe the details of the human race and the demon beast is mainly because after so many years, the demon beast and the human race have become much stronger than at the beginning. If the demon clan doesn't figure out the details of the two clans, they will definitely not do it easily.

The battle of all races back then,The lesson to the demons is profound,Now the demons will not set off that kind of war at all.,It's not worth the loss for the demons.,Now the demons have changed their strategy.。 They are now using a cannibalization strategy. The extermination of one race after another.

Unfortunately, the demon beasts and the human race were the first to be targeted by the demons. At present, the time is not too long, but according to Qing Xuance's estimates, it will be about a few hundred years. Fortunately, many martial arts families of the human race have become hidden families, so that the demon race will not collect all the information of the human race so quickly.

Moreover, these hidden families are very hidden, and now even Qing Xuance doesn't dare to say how much he knows about them.

After all, humans are the best at keeping a low profile.

Although the demon beast clan is not low-key, the strength of the four elephant beast clan is obvious to all. And there are dragons that are even more mysterious than the demons, which is also the most feared by the demons.

The strength of the dragon clan is undoubted, and even the demon clan does not dare to underestimate it.

This is also an important consideration for the demons in formulating their foreign strategy. Another reason why the demons chose the human race and the demon beast is because the number of these two races is too amazing, if the two races are allowed to develop like this. The strength will only get stronger.

In the end, it can even threaten the demons, although it's still very early.

What Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie have to do now is to show the strong side of the Zhou family. Soon, they gathered warriors to sweep away the forces that were hostile to the Zhou family in the Jinzhou area.

The specific plan was formulated by Xiao Che. Xiao Che didn't expect that Zhou Xiaodie would hand over the decision-making power to herself. This makes him extra careful when making plans.

Xingyimen, the underground force in Jinzhou, although it sounds like a very positive force in the rivers and lakes, in fact, in secret, Xingyimen is a shady business. Although the Zhou family does not have any evidence to prove that they have betrayed the information of the Zhou family for the demon clan. However, this time, as long as they are included in the scope of the Zhou family's suspicion, they will all be hit without exception. Not to mention that Xingyimen is not a good thing in the first place, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie don't have any pressure on it at all.

Xiao Che first sent a large number of people to investigate all kinds of information about the Xingyi Gate in an all-round way, and even finally made it clear which room everyone in the Xingyi Gate slept in. In addition, there are forces that have something to do with Xingyimen. For example, the Drunken Fist Martial Arts Gym and the nearby bandit organization. The strength of the Zhou family is really not blown, not to mention that Xiao Che's desk is full of all the details about the Xingyi Gate.

Xiao Che stayed up for three days and three nights to completely summarize these things in his mind. Not to fight unprepared battles is Xiao Che's principle. When the Xuan Gang was at the beginning, the reason why they were able to achieve such a big victory over Beiyan was because Xiao Che knew himself and his opponent.

Therefore, the Xuan Gang can achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost, and it can rise in such a short period of time.

Xiao Che is experienced in commanding operations, and now the affairs of the Zhou family are still easy for him, and there is nothing wrong with him. It's just that compared with the original Xuangang period, the cultivation level of the martial artists is higher.

Soon, Xiao Che began the first phase of the operation.

There are quite a few forces under the command of the Zhou family, and they began to attack all the forces belonging to the Xingyi Gate in Jinzhou City. And under the influence of the Zhou family, Jinzhou City was locked down. This made Jinzhou City rumor for a while.

Xingyi Sect was not unprepared, but they didn't expect the Zhou family's attack to be so swift and powerful. Their preparation was almost useless. Xiao Che had already checked the Xingyi Gate.

The combat power of the Xingyi Sect is indeed not comparable to ordinary forces, and there are five in the Supreme Realm. However, what made Xiao Che feel relieved was that the Xingyi Gate did not have a supreme above the five grades. Dealing with these five supremes was very simple for the Zhou family. Zhou Xiaodie was seconded from the Zhou family elders to bring over the three Supreme Five Ranks. With the three of them, the supreme of Xingyimen is by no means an opponent, and the only thing to guard against now is the hole card of Xingyimen.

Three days before the start of the war, Xiao Che wrote a letter to Xiong Zhen in the deserted city, asking him to come here secretly, and Xiong Zhen set off immediately after receiving Xiao Che's letter. At his speed, it took less than a day to reach the Golden State.

However, no one knows about all this, including Fluttershy. Xiao Che didn't mean to hide it, but these days, Xiao Che is the commander-in-chief of the operation, and Zhou Xiaodie is in charge of logistics and deployment. After all, she is the real helmsman of the Zhou family in Golden State.

Only she can truly mobilize the Zhou family. Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie are both busy with their own things. I didn't have much time to spend together.

The Zhou family, as the attacking side, was very smooth, and there was almost no unexpected collapse of the whole line of Xingyimen. Now it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out. However, just when the three supremes led people to attack the headquarters of Xingyimen, an accident happened.

Xingyimen found three supreme five grades out of nowhere, which made the situation reverse all of a sudden. There are only three supremes on the Zhou family's side, although all three of them are supreme five grades, but now there are not only three supreme five pins in Xingyimen, but also five supremes. Therefore, as long as the three supreme and five products of the Xingyi Gate can drag the supreme of the Zhou family. Then the remaining five supremes of the Xingyi Sect can launch a counter-kill against the rest of the Zhou family.

This situation made the warriors of the Zhou family all look heavy. They never thought that a Xingyi Sect that looked insignificant in the Zhou family would have three supreme five grades, and five supreme five pins under them. Such a force is not weak.

The three supremes of the Xingyi Gate are not outsiders, two of them are the ancestors of the Xingyi Gate, and one is a black water thief from outside the city. This is also Xingyimen's best ally.

The reason why the Blackwater Bandits would help Xingyimen was not because of any deep brotherhood. It's because they are all enemies of the Zhou family and have common interests.

The fact that the Blackwater Bandits have been able to survive in Jinshan County for so long and grow stronger day by day is inseparable from the great help of the Xingyi Gate in Jinzhou City.

And the reason why Xingyimen was able to occupy a lot of Jinzhou's resources and gain a firm foothold in such a complex environment as Jinzhou was also inseparable from the secret help of the Blackwater bandits.

After all, Xingyimen doesn't have much background. Even they dared to be enemies of the Zhou family. A big reason is because of his own two Supreme Realm Five Grades and the Black Water Bandit.

With the arrival of the Heishui Bandit Supreme, many forces that had had a holiday with Xingyimen and had been sacked by the Blackwater Bandits suddenly woke up. This news was undoubtedly released by Xiao Che, in order to make Xingyimen the target of public criticism.

The effect was indeed excellent, and when these forces learned of this, they quickly organized people to launch a fierce attack on the forces of Xingyimen.
