The furnishings in the ancestral hall were very simple, Zhou Chen glanced around, checked the surroundings, made sure that there was nothing else left, and turned around to leave.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the top of the ancestral hall, shining directly on the sacrificial table, Zhou Chen was startled by the sudden appearance of the light, after confirming that this light did not have any special power, Zhou Chen fell his eyes on the sacrificial table, only to see a few lines of words slowly emerging on the sacrificial table, Zhou Chen fixed his eyes, his expression became dull, and he murmured: "Mother......"

The text on the sacrificial table became clear, writing: "Chen'er, when you see these words, it means that you have successfully taken away the things left by your mother, but at this time, your mother doesn't know what her situation is, maybe she is dead, maybe she is still alive, but even if she is dead, she died with your father, and her mother has no regrets." If you want to find us, go to the ancestral land of the Zhou family in the ancient realm, which is both the birthplace and the cage for our Zhou family, and you will understand it after you know more in the future. Regarding this drop of saint essence blood, my mother has never thoroughly understood its use, only that my ancestor once warned that this drop of essence blood is the hope of the re-emergence of the Zhou family in the future, about whether this thing should be left to you, let you bear such a heavy responsibility, my mother and your father fought, of course, in the end I won, my mother believes that you can, because you are my Zhou Luoxue's child, let's say so first, my mother is waiting for you in the ancient world, if we don't die. The final sign of the text is a smiling face with squinting eyes......

Zhou Chen's head was full of black lines, originally looking at the words in front of him, Zhou Chen's eyes gradually became moist, and then those few words directly made him speechless, his mother looked very strong, and her style was a little reckless, what was the responsibility of the rise of the Zhou family to herself, and she believed that she could, what is this? Zhou Chen felt that this mother was completely different from what he imagined, and he was not sad for a while, but had a feeling of being cheated by his own mother.

The light gradually dissipated, the words on the sacrificial table gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely, Zhou Chen shook his head, sighed lightly, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.

When Zhou Zhen saw Zhou Chen walking out of the ancestral hall, he greeted him with some excitement and asked, "Did you get the thing?" ”

Zhou Chen nodded, frowned, and asked with a somewhat ugly face: "Grandpa, what kind of person is my mother-in-law on weekdays?" ”

"This ...... Anyway, when she was there before, she had the final say...... However, she is very good to the Zhou family. Zhou Zhen's old face flushed, and said embarrassedly, although he is the head of the Zhou family, in fact, the daughter-in-law used to have the final say, on the one hand, because Zhou Luoxue is the strongest, even Zhou Jinyuan can't beat her, and Zhou Jinyuan doesn't dare to do anything with him, on the other hand, Zhou Luoxue's style is very strong, whether it is for the Zhou family or outsiders, but Zhou Luoxue is really protective of the Zhou family, and if the Zhou family makes a mistake, he will also punish it, but the end of the person who shoots at the Zhou family will be even worse. So when the people of other families saw her, it was like seeing a dominatrix, and they didn't dare to provoke her at all, all in all, when Zhou Luoxue was still in Qingyang City, no one in the Zhou family dared to provoke.

Zhou Chen looked at the expression on Zhou Zhen's face, and roughly understood, his old lady was a little powerful, no wonder although the Zhou family is now in decline, other families don't dare to trouble the Zhou family too unscrupulously, it may be that the shadow left by their mother before is too deep, and although the Lu family covets the treasure, they didn't dare to use any tough means at first, but just Lu Feiyu instructed Lin Yuyi to approach him to investigate, but later the matter was exposed to that extent, and then the later thing should be Lu Feiyu Zhou Chen was abolished, It made the Lu family really angry.

Zhou Chen retracted his thoughts, turned his head, and said to Zhou Zhen with a smile: "Grandpa, I have to go back, I will stay in Qingyang City these days, and I will go back to Zhou's house when the trouble is solved." ”

Zhou Zhen held Zhou Chen's shoulder and said softly: "Pay attention to safety, go back to the Zhou family if there is anything, no matter how bad the Zhou family is now, grandpa will protect you." ”

Zhou Zhen knew that Zhou Chen had his own ideas and plans, and he didn't ask much, the child had grown up, and there was a master by his side, so it might be safer than staying by his side.

Zhou Chen nodded, and handed over a talisman seal in his hand, as well as a martial art and a pill to Zhou Zhen: "Grandpa, if there is anything in the Zhou family, you will inject spiritual power into this talisman seal, I will sense it, and this Xuan-level high-grade martial art is quite suitable for you, and it can also be practiced by the people in the clan, this pill is for Uncle Jincheng." ”

This martial art is the "Heaven Turning Hand" that he got from Elder Lin that day, Zhou Chen has already practiced it to perfection, and it is useless to stay by his side, even if it is "Extreme Tyrant Fist", this martial art is really not available, and after Zhou Chen heard Zhou Jincheng's incident, he planned to give him a Xuanyuan Pill to heal his injuries, and Zhou Chen refined a total of three pieces of this pill.

Zhou Zhen held the talisman seal and martial arts, as well as the pill in his hand, looked at Zhou Chen, didn't say anything, he was not a twisted person, but his eyes were a little moist, he had only seen his grandson for less than a few hours, and he was about to be separated again, and his heart was inevitably a little sentimental.

Zhou Chen's eyes were slightly red, and he barely showed a smile, put on the black hat, turned around and flickered, and disappeared into the night......

As the sky grew brighter, Zhou Zhen did not go to rest, but walked directly to the Zhou family's meeting hall, and after a while, several main figures of the Zhou family walked into the hall one after another.

"Third child, is there a batch of Xuaniron ore that needs to be sent to Tianyin City today?" Zhou Zhen asked.

"Master, there is indeed a batch of goods that need to be sent out today." The three elders arched their hands and said.

Zhou Zhen nodded, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Third brother, you and Elder Qian should go on a run, remember to bring more people." ”

"Yes." The three elders and the cadres answered, immediately turned around and walked out of the hall, and walked towards the martial hall, this is usually the place where the Zhou family's warriors and guards rest, if there are any tasks that need to be carried out, they will come here to arrange people, and this kind of escort work is in charge of the younger generation of the clan on weekdays, due to some recent incidents, now Zhou Zhen does not dare to let the younger generation escort alone.

The three elders have been silent since Zhou Jincheng's accident, and there is nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, Zhou Zhen naturally knows that if he sends others on this trip to Tianyin City, it may make the three elders feel even more unhappy, so he simply let him lead the team to run, with the ability and experience of the three elders, even if he meets the people of the Lu family, he may not suffer a loss, for the sake of insurance, he asked Elder Qian to accompany him.

After a while, the three elders and the three elders of the Qian family drove out of the backyard of the Zhou family with ten guards and three children of the Zhou family, as well as several empty beast carts, five of these guards were in the early stage of the foundation building realm, and the rest were all in the eighth and ninth stages of the congenital realm, and the three children of the Zhou family were all in the middle stage of the foundation building realm, these people were all known by Zhou Chen, and they were all his uncles, and the three elders and the Qian elders were all in the realm of the foundation building realm, and this lineup was not weak.

After Zhou Chen left the Zhou family, he did not leave too far, but hid near the Zhou family, during this time, the Zhou family was suppressed by the Lu family and couldn't even get out of the door, and many things could not be handled, so Zhou Chen planned to help secretly.

When Zhou Chen saw the Zhou family's beast convoy set off, he quietly followed, looking at the direction of the beast car, it should be going to the Zhou family's Xuantie Vein Mine, where there are Zhou family's heavy guards, as well as the guardian formation, generally speaking, the Lu family will not attack directly, even if the Lu family does something to the Zhou family, it will not be in Qingyang City, after all, this is under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is not so blatant, if you want to do it, it should be on the mountain road after the beast car drives out of Qingyang City.

Although Zhou Chen knew that this section of the road should be safe, in order to prevent accidents, he still followed closely, but he summoned Xiao Hei, and he sat on Xiao Hei's back to cultivate.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Xiao Hei has become stronger again, and now he is already in the middle of the foundation building realm, Zhou Chen is quite speechless, this chaotic qi seems to have a special effect on demon beasts, and after a while, Xiao Hei realm will surpass him.

Although Xiao Hei can grow rapidly in the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Bead, he still prefers to come out to be with Zhou Chen, and every time he comes out, he is very excited, and he must play with Zhou Chen for a while to be obedient.

At noon, the beast cart was already filled with Xuaniron ore, and the convoy also set off towards Tianyin City, this batch of materials is very important to the current Zhou family, and Xuaniron ore is already one of the few economic sources for the Zhou family.

The distance from Qingyang City to Tianyin City is not far, only about three hundred miles, it takes four days to go back and forth at the speed of the beast car, most of them are official roads, only a section of the Black Wind Ridge is mountainous, and the official road is patrolled by the soldiers and horses of the city lord's mansion of each city, so if the people of the Lu family want to make a move, they can only be in this section of the mountain road, Zhou Chen also knows this, and the mountain road is also suitable for the Black Flame Tiger to hide, as long as the beast convoy is escorted through the Black Wind Ridge, it will be safe.

"Attention, there is the Black Wind Ridge ahead, and it all cheers me up." Elder Qian said, Elder Qian is one of the offerings of the Zhou family, and he is familiar with this kind of guard work, and it is clear where there will be danger.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in response, scanning the surroundings with solemn faces, and the weapons in their hands were slightly clenched.

The convoy had been traveling in the Black Wind Ridge for two hours, and no danger was found, and everyone was also a little relieved, and in two hours, they would be able to leave the Black Wind Ridge and enter the official road of Tianyin City, and they would be safe by then.

"Don't let your guard down!" The three elders shouted, everyone's faces tightened, and they immediately strengthened the investigation of their divine senses, and the safety of the two hours just now made everyone a little relaxed, and the three elders were also aware of it and reminded them in time.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Suddenly, there was a burst of wind in the air, and several feathered arrows shot out of the woods at a rapid pace, shooting directly at the convoy.

Everyone's pupils shrank, and they hurriedly waved the weapons in their hands to resist, and the demon beasts pulling the cart also crawled down, and some of them were injured by arrows and fell to the ground, fortunately, the three elders reminded them in time, and everyone was not defenseless and caused panic, and only a few coachmen were injured.

"Get cover!" Elder Qian shouted, and everyone hurriedly found a nearby cover to protect themselves, these arrow feathers are extremely fast and powerful, and the monks below the general foundation building realm are easily injured by these arrow feathers, and the position of the shot is very hidden, and the angle of the shot is also very weird, which is difficult to prevent.

"Who is the thief, dare to attack and kill the Zhou family's convoy." The Third Elder shouted a little angrily.

"The Zhou family? Haha, what we are waiting for here is your Zhou family's convoy. The rain of arrows stopped, and a deep male voice could be heard in the woods.

The third elder looked at the direction where the voice came from, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were a little solemn.

Figures flickered in the woods, dozens of warriors with swords fell around the convoy, and a middle-aged man dressed in white appeared in front of the convoy, this person was dressed in a white robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard, and a somewhat rugged appearance.

"Lu Hai, it's really you, you hurt my son last time, and I have to settle this account with you today." When the three elders saw Lu Hai, their faces instantly turned cold, and thinking of Zhou Jincheng, who was still lying on the bed at this time, the anger in the hearts of the three elders burst out substantially.

"Zhou Qing, I didn't expect your Zhou family to dare to send someone out to deliver the goods, it seems that the lesson I gave last time was not enough." Lu Hai looked at the three elders coldly with a look of mockery.

"Your Lu family should not deceive people too much." Zhou Yun on the side shouted angrily.

Lu Hai waved his hand and said lightly: "Zhou Yun, you are not too young, and you still say such childish things?" I won't talk nonsense with you, all the dark iron ore will be left, I will let you go back, and pay three million spirit stones to our Lu family every month as a protection fee in the future. ”

Now the Zhou family's monthly income from spirit stones is less than one million, not to mention that three million spirit stones can't be paid, even if they can't pay it, it is impossible to give it to the Lu family.

"By you? Although you are the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm, we have two Foundation Building Realm Perfections here, and they are not indispensable to fight. After all, the third elder had lived for such a long time, and he would not be carried away by anger, and his emotions had calmed down a little at this time.

"Oh? Is it? Lu Hai sneered and looked at the three elders playfully.

The third elder frowned, looking at Lu Hai in front of him, I don't know what his reaction is, right now there are two foundation building realm consummations here in the Zhou family, and the Lu family only has one foundation building realm consummation Lu Hai, two to one may not be able to suppress Lu Hai, but looking at Lu Hai's confident appearance, it seems that he is not worried.

Suddenly, the third elder, a burst of wind broke behind him, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuated and vibrated open, and one palm quickly struck at the back of the three elders.

Burst!

The third elder was blasted ten zhang away by the palm of the attack behind him, and fell directly to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and looked behind him in disbelief.

"Third Elder, I'm sorry, I've already switched to the Lu family." Elder Qian smiled slightly and said lightly, without any guilt or apology in his expression.

"Qianyu, you dog stuff outside the mouth, cough ......" The third elder erupted with anger in his heart, and spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth again.

Qianyu has been a worshipper in the Zhou family for more than ten years, and the Zhou family has also cultivated him from the early stage of the foundation building realm to the consummation of the foundation building realm, how could the three elders never imagine that Qian Yu would betray the Zhou family at this time and sneak attack him.

"Zhou Qing, do you think the current Zhou family is still the previous Zhou family? I'm just an offering, don't you understand the truth that good birds choose trees to perch? Qianyu said lightly, with a coldness on his face.

The three disciples of the Zhou family quickly approached the Third Elder, surrounded him in the center, looked around vigilantly, and said with a solemn expression: "Third Elder, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine, I'll drag them down, Zhou Yun, you take them and wait for an opportunity to escape." The third elder reluctantly stood up, clutching his chest, his eyes staring solemnly at the surroundings, at this time his internal organs were seriously damaged, and he was panting heavily.

"We're not leaving, we're fighting with them." Zhou Yun said with a solemn face.

"Want to go? None of you can leave today. Lu Hai said with a sly smile.

Airplanes!

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of knives in the woods, and the trees in the forest kept swaying, and the leaves were constantly cut and fallen by the vast knife intent, and the scene was spectacular.

Yes...... Yes......

Immediately afterward, five terrible screams rang out from the heights of the woods.

In the woods, a black figure kept flashing, extremely fast, and with the sound of screams, five figures fell from the height one after another.

"Who?" Lu Hai's face sank, and he shouted angrily, the direction from which these five screams came was the location of several hidden archers.

As the flickering figure disappeared, the woods gradually returned to calm, and a mysterious person dressed in a black robe, wearing a black hat, and holding a strange black blade slowly walked out of the forest.

……
