Everyone's faces were full of excitement. When they arrived at the island where the Zhou family was, it was already completely dark. Compared to the Sea King Pavilion, the island where the Zhou family was located was obviously larger. Even though it was dark, bright lights could still be seen on the island.
The middle-aged man looked towards the center of the island, pointed at the vast manor with bright lights, and said, "Senior, the place with the brightest lights is where the Zhou family is."
"Walk!"
Yang Qi nodded, and then the group flew directly towards the Zhou family.
…
Just when Yang Qi and others rushed to the Zhou family, the top management of the Zhou family was also holding an emergency meeting. The convening of this emergency meeting was related to Zhou Tong being taken away.
An old man in a gray robe glanced at the man opposite him, and then said to the man in the upper position, "Master, I have said long ago that we should not deal with the Sea King Pavilion again. A mere Sea King Pavilion is not worth our risk at all."
"That's right. Some people just don't listen. Now our Zhou family is already a second-rate force. Why should we compete with the Sea King Pavilion for that treasure?" The old man's words were immediately echoed by a middle-aged man.
A burly old man glanced at the two people who were talking and smiled coldly, "Back then, the Zhou family's ancestors and the Sea King Pavilion belonged to the Sea King Palace. The Sea King Palace fell apart, and the Sea Map, the treasure of the clan, was obtained by the Sea King Pavilion. My Zhou family's ancestors spent countless manpower and resources just to get the Sea King Map and revitalize our Zhou family. Now that the Zhou family has the ability, why don't we fulfill the wishes of our ancestors?"
"Some people may have become so powerful that they have even forgotten their last names. You might as well change your last name to Shi!" The burly old man's words were also echoed by his companions.
"Zhou Dasheng, what did you say? Do you want to fight?"
"Zhou Dafu, you don't think I'm afraid of you. At most, we've just had a fight. You are such a forgetful bunch!"
"Okay, okay, who's afraid of who?"
As the practitioners on both sides confronted each other, the entire meeting hall immediately became chaotic. If they had not taken their respective faces into consideration, the meeting hall would have turned into a battlefield.
Who would have thought that the Zhou family and the Neptune Pavilion, who had a deep hatred for each other, were actually the same sect many years ago. The reason for the feud between the two sides was that the Neptune Palace's treasure was in the hands of the Neptune Pavilion.
"Shut up, everyone."
Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, a loud shout suddenly came from the upper direction.
Hearing this loud shout, the faces of the two quarreling parties changed slightly. They snorted coldly in unison and stopped talking.
"Please let the head of the family make the decision!" The leading practitioners of both sides looked at the head of the family.
"Do you still have me as the head of the family in your eyes?"
The middle-aged man glanced at both parties, snorted coldly, and then continued, "I knew in advance that Zhou Dahai and others would take action against the Sea King Pavilion. The Sea Suppression Map is the treasure of the Sea King Palace. As a branch of the Sea King Palace, our Zhou family is qualified to own this treasure."
Following the middle-aged man's words, the cultivators who had been clamoring not to retrieve the Zhenhai Map changed their expressions slightly, but they did not dare to refute anything. After all, the Zhou family's patriarch was a martial honorable cultivator, while they were only martial ancestor cultivators. The cultivators on the other side showed a smug look on their faces, after all, the patriarch was on their side now.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Dafu and his group and said coldly, "I support you in retrieving the Zhenhai Map, but you must not act rashly. You were a little impulsive this time."
"We were indeed a bit reckless in this matter," the burly old man said quickly.
He knew that the impulse the patriarch was talking about was not their attack on the Sea King Pavilion, but their secret use of the blood of the undead corpse. Although Zhou Tong was arrested, the patriarch did not reveal the matter of the blood of the undead corpse, and Zhou Dasheng and others did not know that they had used the blood of the undead corpse.
The Zhou family patriarch glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "I called you here this time to discuss the matter of Zhou Tong being taken away. Zhou Tong was taken away by the elders of the Qianxing Sect. Although I had already sent a message to him to insist that it was due to negligence, I am a little worried that the Qianxing Sect will come forward and find out something."
He was not worried about being exposed for secretly dealing with the Sea King Pavilion. The Sea King Pavilion was weak and no one stood up for him. At most, they would be punished. But if the matter of the Corpse God Cult was exposed, their Zhou family would be completely finished. This was what he was most worried about!
"We didn't let Zhou Tong know much about our affairs, and given Zhou Tong's loyalty to the family, I believe he will not betray the Zhou family." Zhou Dasheng said lightly.
"Me too."
Zhou Dafu said in a deep voice.
Although the two of them usually don't get along, they are surprisingly consistent in this matter. After all, Zhou Tong was originally selected by them before being sent to the Qianzong League headquarters as a deacon. On the one hand, he is loyal enough to the Zhou family, and on the other hand, he doesn't know much about the Zhou family and the Corpse God Cult. He is undoubtedly the most suitable person to be sent to the Qianzong League headquarters.
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family's patriarch's eyes fixed and he said in a deep voice, "Since both of you say so, then there is no need to report this matter to them?"
Zhou Dasheng and Zhou Dafu looked at each other and nodded immediately. In their opinion, this matter was not a big deal. If Zhou Tong had not deliberately notified the Sea King Pavilion of the time to go to the Thousand Sect Alliance, even if Zhou Dahai and others failed, Zhou Tong would not have been invited by the Thousand Star Sect to assist in the investigation.
The fact that the Zhou family and the Sea King Pavilion were at odds was no secret in the entire overseas cultivation world. Even some cultivation forces that had existed for a long time knew why the two forces were fighting! The Thousand Sects Alliance would not intervene in the grievances between the cultivation forces.
Zhou Tong was a high-ranking martial arts master who was even sent to serve at the headquarters of the Thousand Sects Alliance. He was an extremely smooth person and it was impossible for him not to know the seriousness of the matter and take the initiative to admit that he was behind the scenes!
The Zhou family head nodded and said, "If that's the case, then..."
"Zhou Hong, Zhou Tong violated the rules of the Thousand Sects Alliance. Now he admits that you were the mastermind. I have been ordered to take you back to the Thousand Sects Alliance. Please come with me!"
At this moment, a loud shout spread over the Zhou family manor.
"What?"
Hearing this, the faces of the Zhou family leaders in the meeting hall suddenly changed. Didn't they say that Zhou Tong was trustworthy? Why did the Qianzong League send people to arrest Zhou Hong
At the top, Zhou Hong's face was extremely ugly. He said coldly, "Didn't you say that Zhou Tong is trustworthy?"
"this… "
Zhou Dasheng and Zhou Dafu looked at each other, they didn't expect that as soon as they finished speaking, the people sent by the Qianzong League to arrest the head of the Zhou family arrived, which was like a slap in the face.
Zhou Dasheng looked up at Zhou Hong who was sitting above him, and said hesitantly, "Master, Zhou Tong should know the importance of this matter. Besides, even if he admits what happened at the Sea King Pavilion, he wouldn't have the guts to implicate you. Could it be because..."
"Do you think that if that matter is exposed, the Qianzong League will only come to arrest me?" Zhou Hong's face darkened and he snorted coldly. (To be continued)
