Alien Lord

Hearing this, Elder Zhou's face suddenly showed resentment. He wanted to surrender to Lin Ze. There were not only problems in the Zhou family, but more importantly, problems on the Flame Cult. Elder Zhou was a flame The fifth elder of the sect is so easy to escape. Besides, the fifth elder has betrayed the flame sect. Outsiders may think that the flame sect has already fallen apart. Therefore, as the fifth elder, Elder Zhou will betray the flame sect. In this way, the Flame Cult will be in danger when it comes. Those sects that have long wanted to seize the hegemony of the Flame Cult, the family will immediately attack the Flame Cult. Similarly, even the five elders have betrayed the Flame Cult. Will the disciples and other elders have similar thoughts, or feel insecure, and then also defect from the Flame Cult.

Both of these possibilities have a high chance of being realized, so, whether it is to avoid being the target of public criticism or to prevent great turmoil in the sect, the Flame Cult will not allow Elder Zhou to leave.

In this case, even Elder Zhou, a strong man in the late foundation period, is still powerless, because his strength is really far behind that of the Flame Cult, and now the only thing he expects is Lin Ze.

In fact, to be honest, Elder Zhou thought of leaving the Flame Cult, not only because he saw Lin Ze's bright future, but also because he gradually lost his rights in the Flame Cult.

Elder Zhou had been competing with an elder surnamed Xu for the position of the deputy suzerain of the Flame Cult. Originally, his chances of winning were not small, but the elder surnamed Xu directly broke through to the quasi-Golden Core Stage, and his strength surpassed Elder Zhou by a fraction. In the cultivation world, the strong are respected, and Elder Xu's status and relationship are comparable to Elder Zhou's. Now that he has broken through to the quasi-Golden Core stage, the position of deputy suzerain is naturally his.

The winner is the king, and the loser is Kou. This is extremely obvious. There was a lot of trouble between Elder Zhou and the elder Xu. Now that he has ascended to a high position, his strength has made a great breakthrough. Elder Zhou is now in The situation in the Flame Cult is conceivable. Although he will not be killed, the rights in his hands have gradually been taken away by the elder Xu, and now the remaining rights of loving him are even half of what they were before. No, the most terrible thing is that this situation is not over yet. Elder Xu surnamed beats the dog in the water and keeps targeting him. If this continues, maybe all the rights in his hands will be taken away.

As for asking for help from other people, hehe, Elder Zhou gave up after thinking about it for a while, because he knew very well that no one would reach out to rescue him, because his opponent, Elder Xu, had a more promising future than him. He has broken through to the quasi-Golden Core stage now, and no one knows when he will break through to the Golden Core stage, so no one in the sect will lend a helping hand.

To change the current situation, there is actually another way, and the only way, that is, Elder Zhou also breaks through to the quasi-Golden Core stage. However, his family knows his own affairs, and Elder Zhou knows in his heart that he wants to break through to the Quasi-Golden Core stage. , that is very difficult, very difficult, even impossible. He does not have so many resources in his hands, and his own cultivation aptitude is not that strong.

Otherwise, Elder Zhou wouldn't have been standing still after 30 years of hard training, making no progress at all. In fact, it was because of this reason that no one in the sect would rescue him.

In the eyes of the upper echelons of the sect, Elder Zhou's limit has been reached, and no matter how much he is supported, he will still be like this in the end. On the contrary, the elder surnamed Xu obviously still has the momentum to move forward. If this is the case, the upper echelon of the sect Of course, I chose to support Elder Xu, because maybe in the future, there will be another strong person in the Golden Core stage in the sect. As for the grievances of Elder Zhou, the sect simply ignored them.

The cultivation resources in the sect are limited. Now that you, Elder Zhou, have no hope of advancing, and the elder Xu still has a lot of motivation to advance, isn't it normal for him to take away the cultivation resources of Elder Zhou? , limited resources, you have to use them more effectively. Instead of letting you, Elder Zhou, constantly consume these cultivation resources, it is better for Elder Xu to use them to break through the golden core stage.

It is precisely because Elder Zhou is aware of these things that he has long been dissatisfied with the Zongmen in his heart. No matter how he has made a lot of contributions to the Zongmen before, he almost died in battle a few times, but the Zongmen treats him like this now He, Elder Zhou's heart was completely cold. In order to vent his anger and for the future of the family, Elder Zhou directly made the decision to surrender after seeing the infinite hope in Lin Ze.

After hearing Lin Ze's words, Elder Zhou didn't hide any more, and directly told all the things about himself in the Flame Cult, including what happened between him and Elder Xu in detail.

After hearing these words from Elder Zhou, Lin Ze realized that Elder Zhou had not deceived himself. He really wanted to leave the Flame Cult. In this case, Lin Ze felt relieved.

After saying these things, Elder Zhou directly sighed deeply, and said: "In the final analysis, my strength is not good enough. If I can advance to the quasi-Golden Core Stage, or even the Golden Core Stage, then how could there be such things as now? What about the nasty thing, at that time I could suppress that damn guy, and even kill him directly, hey..."

Having said that, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Ze, with a hint of pleading on his face, and said: "This matter, now I can only rely on Lin Ze, if you can advance to the Jindan Stage in the future, I will I hope you can help our Zhou family to break away from the Flame Cult, even if I have to sacrifice my life at that time, I will not hesitate to do so."

After saying these words, Elder Zhou showed an extremely firm and calm expression on his face. It was obvious that what he just said was not a joke. For the safety of the family, he could indeed abandon himself.

This is the responsibility of the family members. As long as he can protect his family, he can give everything for it, even his own life. This moved Lin Ze a little, and Lin Ze also made a decision in his heart.

What he said before was actually observing Elder Zhou's reaction, observing whether he was lying or using himself. Now it seems that Lin Ze is thinking too much, but Elder Zhou wants to surrender .

More importantly, Elder Zhou really didn't think about using himself to get rid of the Huojiao. The reason is very simple. From the beginning, Elder Zhou thought that Lin Ze would come to rescue the Zhou family after he advanced to the Jindan stage, instead of asking him to help now. Elder Zhou's family got rid of the Flame Cult. It can be seen from this that Elder Zhou was really sincere and did not let Lin Ze take risks.

You know, based on Elder Zhou's own estimate of Lin Ze's strength, it will take about twenty years for Lin Ze to advance to the Golden Core stage, and he has lost half of his rights now, and the rest will insist on It won't be long, that is to say, he needs to rely on his own strength to persist for twenty years. Twenty years is really too long, too long. God knows how many things will happen in these twenty years. Maybe Elder Zhou is here. He had already died within twenty years, and the Zhou family had also perished. However, Elder Zhou still did not ask Lin Ze to help him leave the Flame Sect now, but expected Lin Ze to help him leave the Flame Sect after he advanced to the Golden Core stage. It can be seen that Zhou The elder's sincerity is indeed very high. He would rather bear the danger for 20 years by himself than let Lin Ze take the risk now.

Although it may be that Lin Ze's current strength can't help Elder Zhou at all, and even drag him down, Lin Ze still agrees with Elder Zhou's sincerity in his heart.

Because the current Elder Zhou is actually like a person who has fallen into the water but can't swim. At this time, he is panicking in his heart. Even if there is a straw appearing around him, he will hold it with all his strength. Lin Ze is better than straw, but Elder Zhou, a person who 'falls into the water', can calmly not catch it. Lin Ze agrees with Elder Zhou just for this.

Just because he recognized Elder Zhou, Lin Ze decided to help the Zhou family get rid of the Huojiao from the bottom of his heart.

Elder Zhou doesn't know Lin Ze's current strength at all. With Lin Ze's current strength, he wants to help Elder Zhou escape from the Flame Cult. To be honest, it's just a matter of one sentence. At that time, he only needs to release five strong men in the Golden Core stage , I believe that the Flame Cult will understand how to do it. The Flame Cult is only a small and medium-sized sect, so how can it provoke its five Golden Core stage powerhouses.

But that's what I said, but now Lin Ze won't help Elder Zhou get rid of the Flame Cult, because he still has things to do in Shahai Kingdom, and now Elder Zhou is still the fifth elder of the Flame Cult, and the rights in his hands are lost. Half of it, but the remaining half of the right is still very useful, just to help Lin Ze understand a lot of things about Shahai Kingdom, so Lin Ze can't help Elder Zhou get rid of the Flame Cult right now.

Of course, when Lin Ze returns from Shahai Kingdom, he will definitely help Elder Zhou get rid of the Flame Cult.

Elder Zhou didn't know this. After he finished talking about himself, all his eyes were focused on Lin Ze, and he waited nervously for Lin Ze's answer.

Lin Ze smiled slightly without any hesitation. Since he had already agreed in his heart and needed Elder Zhou's help later on, his mentality was naturally a little different, and he quickly replied: "Elder Zhou, as long as you You can rest assured, I believe that in the near future, your Zhou family will definitely prosper, maybe even stronger than now, Elder Zhou, the outside world is really exciting!"
