Chapter 119
"Is your news true?"
Zhou Cheng, the third elder of the Zhou family, narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a wisdom that was inconsistent with his appearance.
"Suddenly leaving the defense line, and the other families don't seem to know about it. Could it be a fraud?" After thinking about it, Zhou Cheng began today's camp patrol.
There was no way, because there were so many rebel cultivators, the family had to pay attention to them and keep a close eye on those people, but without causing any resentment.
Suddenly, Zhou Cheng's ears twitched and he listened calmly to the nearby conversations.
"Have you heard that a group of people in the northwest actually occupied the Wu family's port?"
"We knew it a long time ago. We didn't help them unintentionally. Otherwise, how could they have defeated them?"
"Those were thirty-seven warships, and they were captured just like that."
"Yeah, it would be great if we could also capture a warship."
…
Zhou Cheng left quietly, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the casual cultivator's persistence in certain things.
"That's right. They are all casual cultivators. It is only normal to have such thoughts."
So, a surprise attack started before the five families could react.
The fierce battle that was originally expected did not happen. At a certain section of the defense line, the Zhou family was so powerful that it tore apart the last stability of several families.
"He Xiao!!!" The five major families shouted the name of the head of the He family angrily.
After knowing that the He family had already withdrawn, the five families were furious. They did not lose to the Zhou family, but were stabbed by their own people.
How can they accept this? After this line of defense, there cannot be another line. The clan is so close, and they will all have to face the pressure from the Zhou family when the time comes.
Unfortunately, there was no chance for them to raise an army to investigate the crime. The approaching Zhou family forced them to hold on to their clan territory.
However, one wanted to enter, and the other resisted desperately, and the blood formed a battlefield that no one could easily leave.
Yujing Tower.
Lin Chen and Wu Yixian were discussing the next plan until Tang Shun came in.
"Sir, the Zhou family and the five families are already fighting, and both sides are constantly sending reinforcements to the battlefield."
"After evacuating the monks, the He family was completely unable to hold on to the line of defense. In just two hours, the Zhou family tore a hole and surrounded the five families, sandwiching them in the middle."
"But there are reinforcements behind those houses, and the two sides are fighting hard."
Wu Yixian chuckled twice, "It seems they won't be able to finish it for a while."
"Isn't this too risky?" Lin Chen was a little worried that if the five families failed to withstand it all at once, the Zhou family would completely win.
"Don't worry, none of those families that have been able to survive until now will die easily. They have been able to cultivate a new generation over the years. Do you think they will have no trump card?"
"As for the Zhou family, they are destined to last until we appear on the stage."
"Oh?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, what did Wu Yixian discover?
Wu Yixian's voice was full of gloating, "By an unexpected opportunity, I discovered the reason why the Zhou family suddenly attacked the first family, the Zhang family."
"Back then, the Zhang family kept cultivating marine figurines and kept going to sea in order to collect resources to help their ancestor break through. However, that guy was useless and failed halfway through the breakthrough."
"So the Zhang family was the weakest at that time, which caused the disaster, but..."
"I found another reason, that is, the Zhou family is also doing such things, but they do it more covertly and over a longer period of time, so they don't attract attention."
Since the war has been going on so far and the Zhou family hasn't come out yet, it seems like a failure, Lin Chen thought to himself.
"But the Zhou family is luckier than the Zhang family. Although the breakthrough was not successful, they survived and were in a state of half-death."
"Of course the Zhou family didn't want that person to die like this, so they turned their attention to the Zhang family, hoping to use their remaining breakthrough materials to revive their ancestor."
"But the existence of the Zhou family has always affected the whole body, so they can only be forced to advance their unified plan."
"Which person survived?" Lin Chen was a little solemn. This kind of half-step Zifu is not comparable to the half-heartedness of the King of Fear Ants.
"Yes, this may be the Zhou family's last trump card."
Lin Chen suddenly looked at Wu Yixian, "Can you beat me?"
Wu Yixian waved his hand speechlessly, "It's a lot worse."
However, he also changed the subject, "Actually, we don't need to worry too much. Have you ever thought about why the He family dared to withdraw from the defense line without authorization? They are just grasshoppers strung together."
Wu Yixian pointed at Lin Chen and himself, "We have never been the only ones hiding behind the scenes on Jingzhe Island."
"The three big islands in the Purple Mansion Realm may not dare to intervene directly, but they can definitely cultivate local families, right?"
Lin Chen understood. As the fog on Jingzhe Island dispersed, a lot of information began to surface, but it made the situation here more complicated.
A talisman flew from downstairs. When Lin Chen took a look at it, the corner of his mouth curled up.
"It seems that Brother Zhang has figured it out."
Zhang Buhuan stood in front of Lin Chen in a complex manner, followed by Zhang Yun and Zhang Zhiyuan.
Four large storage bags were obtained from Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhang Buhuan bowed respectfully.
"The subordinates join the original poster."
Although Zhang Yun was reluctant, she still lowered her head.
"Brother Zhang, you don't have to be like this." Lin Chen smiled and took the storage bag.
"Since Brother Zhang has made his decision, I, Lin Chen, will not neglect you."
The same three storage bags were handed to three people, with different resources inside.
"Thank you, sir." Zhang Buhuan took the storage bag. The items inside may not be as valuable as what he took out, but they are what he needs most.
"Since the destruction of the Zhang family, many clan members have fled and surrendered. Now there are only one hundred and twelve Qi Condensation Realm monks left."
"It's just that they are lurking in various places now and cannot come."
Zhang Buhuan still hasn't completely suppressed the family. He needs to leave some seeds for the Zhang family.
Lin Chen was not surprised, and he didn't need these people now.
"It doesn't matter. When everything is over on Jingzhe Island, the Zhang family can come out openly."
Lin Chen's tone contained strong confidence, which made the three of them feel more at ease.
At the same time, it also confirmed the suspicion in my heart that Yujing Tower really had a big conspiracy.
After Zhang Buhuan returned, Lin Chen did not let them leave first. He also planned to take him to "visit" other remnants of the family.
