The speed of the flying sword was very fast, and before the Chen family could react, those figures had already come to the halfway point of Zhaobi Mountain.

Chen Feng and Bailitan, who were discussing in the attic of the main hall, frowned almost at the same time and got up from their chairs.

Chen Chuan and the others were puzzled and asked, "What happened?"

Chen Feng looked nervous, did not answer Chen Chuan's question, and quickly ran towards the outside of the main hall, walking out of the attic of the main hall, she saw three young men wearing earthy yellow robes in the small square halfway up the mountain outside the main hall.

The three young men were holding the Mithril Flying Sword, and they were full of energy, looking at the Chen family who rushed out of the attic of the main hall with a smile on their faces.

"Brother Zhengyang, why are you here?" Chen Chuan, who rushed out of the main hall, also saw these three young people, one of whom he knew, it was Duan Zhengyang, a member of the Duan family.

"What's the matter, aren't you welcome?" Duan Zhengyang smiled lightly, and under the smile, there was a hint of ghost in his smart eyes.

"The Duan family Taoist friends came to visit, and they missed the welcome, please forgive me. Chen Xingze ran down the steps excitedly and said with his hands bent over.

"Senior is polite, I'm here to repay the favor. Duan Zhengyang responded with a fist clenched, and his gaze looked at Chen Chuan as he spoke.

As he spoke, the halo of light on the northern horizon reappeared, and several figures came quickly, and when the flying shadows approached, everyone could see clearly that they were four monks of the Zhang family wearing green robes.

Seeing these four figures clearly, Chen Xingze's eyes widened and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Chen Xianze at the entrance of the hall also showed surprise.

Because they knew one of the four people, the middle-aged man with a one-inch Danding in his hand, a face like fire, and a dark green robe, who was Zhang Mingtao, one of the four protectors of the Zhang family.

Zhang Mingtao, in the early stage of building the foundation, is the Zhang family in recent years just promoted to the foundation of the clan, originally the Zhang family has three protectors, guarding the Zhang family's peripheral matters, Zhang Mingtao entered the foundation not long after, he became the protector of the identity, it can be seen that this person has outstanding strength.

Chen Xingze's cheeks twitched, and he never dreamed that the Zhangjia Zhuji monk would come to Zhaobi Mountain, staggered a few steps, and arched his hand and said, "Chen Xingze greets Mingtao to protect the Dharma." ”

The Chen family is a vassal family of the Zhang family, and Chen Xingze must be treated respectfully.

Zhang Mingtao snorted, and directly focused on Duan Zhengyang and the three of them, and he didn't look at the Chen family from beginning to end.

"I don't know why a few people came to Zhaobi Mountain? This is my Zhang family's sphere of influence. Zhang Mingtao said with a smile.

Duan Zhengyang's smart eyes slanted slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Mingtao, he didn't answer Zhang Mingtao's question, but took out a storage box from his storage bag.

"This is a small gift from me to the Chen family, five thousand spirit stones, one purple pepper tree seedling, two immortal flower seedlings, three hundred-year-old Western Regions ginseng, three Qi Refining Pills, and two Feather Blood Pills. ”

Hearing these spirit plants and pills, everyone in the Chen family gasped, how could this be a thin gift? Five thousand spirit stones alone would have required the Chen family to struggle up and down for forty or fifty years in the past.

The four Zhang Mingtao on the side were equally surprised, especially when they heard the purple pepper tree seedlings, and even a member of the Zhang family opened their mouths in surprise.

Under everyone's questioning and surprised expressions, Duan Zhengyang walked to the steps of the main hall and handed the storage box to Chen Chuan, and he also gently slapped Chen Chuan's chest with his fist.

This made everyone even more surprised, it seemed that Chen Chuan and this young man of the Duan family were very familiar, like old friends meeting.

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Duan Zhengyang turned around and walked down the steps and came to Zhang Mingtao's side: "The Chen family will be protected by my Duan family in the future, and this matter should be known by Mingtao's protector soon." ”

Duan Zhengyang's cultivation was in the late stage of Qi refining, and the other two Duan family members were also unable to build a foundation, but they were so calm and relaxed when they faced Zhang Mingtao, and they didn't seem to take the foundation building monk in their eyes at all, or they didn't take the Zhang family in their eyes.

Zhang Mingtao squeezed the gold and bronze dan in his hand tightly, his face was a little ugly and red, he glared at Duan Zhengyang and said, "You weren't born when I killed someone, and I don't mind killing you here." ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Mingtao's inch of Danding suddenly shone brightly, and the fierce aura coercion swept towards Duan Zhengyang.

As the protector of the Zhang family, he must maintain the majesty of the Zhang family, he represents the façade of the Zhang family, if the Duan family is allowed to be presumptuous, then where is the face of his Zhang family.

Seeing Zhang Mingtao's sudden move, Duan Zhengyang's eyes froze, his body quickly retreated, and when he retreated, he threw out a second-grade spirit rune.

The second-grade spirit rune is equivalent to a blow from the foundation building monk, and this spirit rune easily resisted Zhang Mingtao's aura pressure.

Zhang Mingtao sneered, and was about to attack again, and just as he was casting the spirit seal, there was a slight fluctuation in the space of his ears, which was someone who transmitted the sound to him.

After listening to the content of the transmission, Zhang Mingtao frowned, his face was reluctant and aggrieved, and half of the spiritual magic seal was also forced back by him, and the aura around his body gradually converged.

"It seems that Zhang Hufa has received the news. Duan Zhengyang smiled slightly, his smart eyes were like women's eyes.

Zhang Mingtao snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Duan Zhengyang, but turned his head to look at Chen Xingze.

"What about Chen Qingze, why don't you see him come out?"

Chen Xingze replied respectfully: "The second brother is in retreat, please forgive Ming Tao's Dharma protector." ”

When Zhang Mingtao heard this, he looked up at the top of Zhaobi Mountain, and his powerful divine sense swept by, and his brows suddenly tightened.

Just now, he led his clan to follow Duan Zhengyang and a few people in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to the situation in Zhaobi Mountain, but now he found that there were actually two foundation-building monks on the top of Zhaobi Mountain.

After a little hesitation, Zhang Mingtao actually stepped into the air and wanted to fly to the top of the mountain to find out.

Seeing Zhang Mingtao's move, Chen Chuan, who was at the gate of the main hall, moved his body and cast a gaze towards Duan Zhengyang for help.

Chen Chuan knew very well that the second uncle's cultivation had fallen, and the matter of the great reduction in longevity must not be known to the outside world, if Zhang Mingtao went to the top of the mountain, then the fact that the Chen family did not have a foundation monk would be made public, which would bring a lot of trouble to the Chen family.

Duan Zhengyang nodded slightly, met Chen Chuan's gaze, and immediately said: "Protector Zhang, this place has been sheltered by my Duan family, please leave immediately, don't cause conflicts between the Duan family and the Zhang family." ”

"You ......" Zhang Mingtao had to care about Duan Zhengyang's warning, he was very clear about the gap between the Zhang family and the Duan family, although the two families belonged to the seven major families in Xiliangzhou, but the Zhang family was afraid that it could not even be compared to one-tenth of the Duan family.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mingtao glared at Duan Zhengyang, snorted coldly, and took out the flying sword and left Zhaobi Mountain with the three clansmen.

Chen Chuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, seeing the game between the two families, his heart was mixed, maybe this is the power of the family, a late-stage Qi refining cultivator can completely suppress the foundation building cultivator, relying on the entire family behind him.

Chen Xingze beside Duan Zhengyang was in a trance, all this happened too fast, so fast that he couldn't understand it.

Why did the Duan family come to Zhaobi Mountain? Why did the Zhang family follow? Why did Duan Zhengyang give these valuable gifts? And why did the Duan family protect the Chen family?

Chen Xingze's question was also the question of all the clansmen of the Chen family, so Chen Xingze opened his mouth and said: "How can the Chen family be able to get the protection of the Duan family." ”
