"The Zhou clan has called back all the clan members outside this time! I'm afraid it's to elect a new clan leader!"
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As long as those old immortals of the Zhou family are alive for one day, outside forces like us will not dare to invade the Zhou family."
"Invasion doesn't make much sense! I think it's okay to attack them and create some trouble at the same time!"
Outside the altar deep in the cave, there are three groups of people confronting each other.
A man wearing a green mask is the leader of a group of ghost-faced people.
The other two groups of men in black were led by a masked old woman on crutches, and another hunchbacked old man on crutches.
These three people are all extremely strong in cultivation, and at first glance they are the kind of top powerhouses who are hidden in the world.
The three of them looked at the slowly rotating whirlpool inside the altar and were talking as if no one else was around.
There were many corpses lying around the altar. Some men in black tried to jump into the whirlpool, but they were all strangled directly into blood mist by the whirlpool.
"Burn the formation as planned! Use the blood of the Zhou clan as a blood sacrifice!"
A middle-aged man wearing a blue mask appeared on the altar. After looking at the whirlpool for a few times, he gave orders to his subordinates in the audience.
...
...
The ancestral land of the Zhou family is in a small world isolated from the rest of the world.
After Zhou Fan passed through the tunnel that looked like a stream of light, he appeared on the ground again in a dense forest full of ancient atmosphere.
Before he could react, a group of strong men suddenly appeared and surrounded him and Zhou Yitong.
The leader, an old man in green shirt, took out a mirror and looked at the two of them.
The mirror shot out two beams of light and entered Zhou Fan and Zhou Yitong's bodies in the blink of an eye.
For the first time, both of them felt that their bodies suddenly became hot, and the blood in their bodies seemed to gradually boil.
Zhou Yitong's eyes were instantly filled with white flames, and the hot flames suddenly caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.
At the same time, an even hotter wave of air overflowed from Zhou Fan's body.
Suddenly, red flames appeared in his pupils. The flames carried a bloodline pressure and instantly suppressed the flames of Zhou Yitong's white pupils, causing the flames to gradually restrain the violent aura that had erupted from them.
The old man in green shirt holding the mirror looked at Zhou Fan with eyes burning with red flames with some surprise.
"Very good! One of you has awakened the red pupil, and the other has awakened the white pupil. Both of you will be the pillars of the future of our Zhou clan!"
The old man in green shirt looked extremely happy and put away the mirror, then politely encouraged Zhou Fan and Zhou Yitong.
As inheritors of the bloodline of the Zhou clan, the number of clan members who have awakened to the Heavenly Eyes has been decreasing over the past hundred years.
Things are rare and valuable. In the past, not to mention the lowest level White Eyes, even the higher level Red Eyes would not be trained and paid attention to.
However, a hundred years of changes have greatly reduced the number of people in the Zhou family who have awakened their Heavenly Eyes.
Therefore, Zhou Fan and Zhou Yitong are now two treasures in the eyes of the old man in blue.
The vision in their eyes gradually dissipated, and when they came back to their senses, the elder had already begun to introduce himself.
"I am Ninth Elder Zhou Qingshan. You can call me Ninth Elder or Elder Qingshan!"
Elder Qingshan valued the two younger generations Zhou Fan and Zhou Yitong very highly, and did not look down upon them because they were members of a branch clan.
"Zhou Bufan!"
"Zhou Yitong!"
"I've met the elder in green shirt!"
Zhou Fan, who had just arrived, naturally did not want to cause trouble, so he immediately took Zhou Yitong to salute him.
"Go! Go to the base camp at the foot of the mountain to rest for two days. The clan will make other arrangements then!"
The elder in Qingshan didn't say much. After pointing the direction to Zhou Fan and the others, he left with his guards.
"Elder! There are enemies outside the world who are besieging and killing our Zhou clan members. Please let the elders make a decision!"
Zhou Yitong was seen hesitantly catching up, bowing respectfully to the elder in green shirt and reporting.
"I already know about this! You go back to the base camp first, I will take care of it!"
Elder Qingshan seemed to have known about it for a long time. He calmly replied to Zhou Yitong and then left with his subordinates.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Fan frowned slightly as he watched the Qingshan elders and others retreating away. He was not very satisfied with the Zhou clan's attitude towards the foreign invasion.
He greeted Zhou Yitong, turned around and headed deep into the dense forest.
Zhou Yitong hesitated for a while, but finally followed Zhou Fan and left.
The two walked for a while in the dense mountain forest before arriving at a bamboo forest under a towering mountain peak.
There are many small bamboo houses built in the bamboo forest, and the small bamboo houses here are for people from the Zhou clan's branches to live.
When he came to a large bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest, Zhou Fan met Zhou Weifeng and hundreds of boys and girls who looked a little embarrassed.
"I thought you were going to be torn apart by the whirlpool!"
"I also thought you would be dead!"
The first words Zhou Fan and Zhou Weifeng said when they met were their special greetings.
"Haha! I chose a bamboo house. If you don't mind, you can choose the empty one next to me!"
After Zhou Weifeng smiled and greeted Zhou Fan, he came outside a remote bamboo house deep among the bamboo houses.
Zhou Fan had no requirements on where to live, so he just found a bamboo house nearby to stay in.
Zhou Yitong, who followed him, was too embarrassed to live with him, so he had to find another diabolo house nearby.
The small bamboo forest seemed extremely quiet in the next few days, and no senior members of the Zhou family came to express condolences or provide them with tasks.
When it's time to eat every day, a special escort team will come bringing all kinds of delicacies.
The delicious food, drinks and hospitality made the younger generation of the returning family forget all about the fear of being hunted down before.
They all became comfortable and greedy for pleasure. Although everyone in the family was curious about being recalled this time, no one took the initiative to ask the higher-ups.
Zhou Fan, who was staying in the small bamboo house, had spent almost all day and night in the past few days, and had already explored the surrounding geographical environment.
These days, he occasionally rushes to the house to chat with people who are more talkative and get information.
Based on the information obtained these days, Zhou Fan finally found out all the basic situations in the ancestral land.
The location where they are now is at the foot of the mountain, and a large number of small bamboo houses are just temporary residences.
On that towering mountain peak, there is a city built on the mountain.
The people of the main line and branch lines lived in the city, and it was said that there was an ancient castle in the center of the city.
The huge castle is the core of the power of the Zhou family. Only people with high positions and powerful positions are qualified to live in the castle.
The ancestral land of the Zhou family is extremely vast, with prairie land where cattle, sheep and other herbivores can be raised, and fertile land where grains and vegetables can be grown.
It can be said that the ancestral land of the Zhou family is not much different from the outside world.
The only difference is probably the blood moon hanging high in the sky, and every night when the faint blood light envelopes the ancestral land, Zhou Fan always has a feeling of butterflies in his heart.
He always felt as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at him secretly in the darkness.
Every time he quietly left the small bamboo forest, he felt that the ancestral land became a bit gloomy after nightfall, which made people shiver.
There is a forbidden area in the ancestral land of the Zhou family called the Ice Valley, which is heavily guarded and no ordinary people are allowed to enter.
If you break in without permission, you may end up dead.
During the few days that Zhou Fan spent day and night, news spread within the Zhou clan.
That is, the Zhou clan is about to select a new patriarch this time, and this new patriarch will be selected from the younger generation.
For the sake of fairness, all the younger generations of the main line and branch lines will compete, and the strongest one will eventually be selected to become the new clan leader.
As soon as the news was released, the entire younger generation of the Zhou family was all excited.
That is the position of clan leader. He is almost the most noble and powerful person in the Zhou clan. Who wouldn’t want to sit in that position?
For a time, the entire Zhou clan was in a turmoil, and the younger generation was even more enthusiastic.
Only Zhou Fan was not interested. He came to the Zhou clan this time to find out about his parents, grandfather and even his little sister.
In order not to arouse suspicion, he actually keeps a very low profile these days.
But he had found nothing these days. Although he had some speculations in his mind, he still chose to wait for the opportunity in order not to reveal his identity.
"All assembled!"
Early in the morning, a loud shout came from outside the small bamboo house where Zhou Fan and others lived.
When everyone walked out of the house, they saw clearly that the people coming were the twelfth elder Zhou Cangrong and the ninth elder Zhou Qingshan.
"Meet the Ninth Elder!"
"Meet the Twelve Elders!"
Zhou Fan, who was in the crowd, followed everyone in saluting, but felt an unkind gaze falling on him.
He followed his feeling and looked around, only to find Zhou Lang behind Zhou Cangrong.
That guy obviously thought that Zhou Fan ruined his good deeds, so he still holds a grudge.
"No more nonsense! This time I will take you into the ancestral city to register. I will arrange accommodation for you later. Just follow the orders!"
"yes......"
After Elder Qingshan hurriedly explained a few words, everyone followed him and left the bamboo forest.
Zhou Lang also knew that the situation was not right, so although there was resentment in his eyes, he did not embarrass Zhou Fan.
Zhou Yitong's face was ashen, and every time she met Zhou Lang's provocative eyes, she secretly clenched her fists in anger.
"Don't pay attention to him!"
"Just a clown!"
Zhou Fan's faint voice sounded. While comforting Zhou Yitong, he also seemed to be deliberately irritating Zhou Lang.
"you wanna die!"
Sure enough, Zhou Lang was furious when he heard this and wanted to attack Zhou Fan directly.
"Don't mess up today's arrangements for me!"
At this time, Zhou Cangrong's cold eyes fell on Zhou Lang, as if there was something in his words to remind him.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lang immediately withdrew the forbidden energy that was about to explode, lowered his head and did not dare to look at his grandfather.
Zhou Fan, who was following the team, frowned secretly, but he didn't take Elder Zhou Canrong's words to heart.
The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. If he was really pressed, he would definitely beat Zhou Cangrong and Zhou Lang to death.
As the saying goes, talented people are bold, so he did not act rashly and planned to see what tricks Zhou Cangrong wanted to play today.
