Ascension Through Generations

The night was dark and windy, and the never-ending strong winds of the Tianhuang Territory diluted the strong smell of blood on the Yunzhou. People in black robes were busy on the Yunzhou, constantly washing away the blood stains on the deck and cabin.

Dead bodies were thrown from the ship onto the rocky beach. The carcass is quickly devoured by scavengers that swarm over the body.

On the bow of Yunzhou, Zhao Sheng, He Ying, Mo Wushuang, Bao Yuer and Yinrou Man gathered together, all with smiles on their faces.

In the ambush battle just now, although they had not practiced beforehand, the result was a complete victory.

The Zhou family did not expect that there was a mole in the team, and two of them were in the late stage of foundation building, so they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Two of the three foundation building members were directly seriously injured, and then the Five Elements and Three Envoys suddenly fell from the sky and cleared the field unparalleled.

After the work was completed, Zhao Sheng learned from He Ying that the feminine man was actually a wood user among the five elements, named Eunuch Huai. He was a great eunuch of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he was also the prince's confidant.

The smug prince probably would never have thought until his death that his confidant eunuch was actually a spy from Heibingtai.

Not to mention the prince, even Zhao Sheng felt a chill in his back after knowing the identity of Eunuch Huai. He couldn't help but sigh: "The black ice platform in Dayong is so terrifying!"

Half an hour later, Yunzhou was washed clean inside and out, and the men in black robes changed into the clothes of Zhou's family one by one.

At this time, He Ying clasped his fists at the feminine man and said, "Eunuch Huai, let me say goodbye to you! The old man wishes you a smooth trip! In the future, as you rise to prominence, don't forget us."

Eunuch Huai said with a smile: "Fourth Master, what you said is totally out of context! After all, the Za family is also one of the Five Elements. Our friendship that lasts hundreds of years can't be easily forgotten."

Bao Yu'er also smiled and said: "Brother Huai, I wish you a prosperous future."

"Thank you very much, Sister Bao, for your kind words! Time is very tight. We will discuss some things in detail after we are done. Colleagues, the Za family will take a step forward!"

After a while, Yun Zhou ascended into the sky again and sped towards Yongjing.

When Yun Zhou left, the smile on He Ying's face dropped, and he turned to look at Zhao Sheng, Bao Yu and Mo Wushuang, and said in a cold voice: "Eunuch Huai has done some meritorious service, and we can't fall behind. Let's go!" "

As he spoke, He Ying's robe instantly swelled into a ball, and a large amount of gray light poured out from the bottom of the robe, lifting him up from the ground. Then the gray light enveloped him and turned into a ball of gray haze, flying towards Hongyang Continent at a very fast speed. go.

Bao Yuer smiled brightly and suddenly turned into a ray of fire and chased after her.

Mo Wushuang didn't move.

Zhao Sheng was about to leave, but he felt a gaze shine on his face from the helmet, with a hint of inexplicable emotion.

Zhao Sheng's heart moved, he put away the invisible sword that was about to be thrown out, and instead released a seven or eight-foot-long cloud boat.

After boarding the Yunzhou, Zhao Sheng suddenly turned around and invited: "Fellow Daoist Mo, if you don't mind, how about letting Zhao give you a ride?"

Mo Wushuang paused, his voice was like gold and iron, and he uttered one word: "Okay."

…

On the other side, the Zhou family had different thoughts and were waiting impatiently and anxiously for the news from Yongjing.

One day passed.

Counting the time, the prince has definitely launched a coup.

However, no news came back from Yongjing.

The group of personnel sent earlier disappeared like mud into the sea, and there was no news at all.

By this time, the Zhou family already had some kind of ominous premonition.

Of course, until now, they had never thought that the Mo family had such a big appetite and wanted to destroy the entire Zhou family in one fell swoop.

As a Jindan family that has been established for more than a thousand years, the Zhou family has many sources of information, and they soon learned from other channels that a big turmoil had indeed occurred in Yongjing last night.

At this time, Yongjing has launched a large-scale sealing formation, sealing off the entire city, and almost no news can be spread.

However, judging from some scattered news that came out before the city was closed, it seemed that things were not going well for the prince's side. The imperial city was captured, but only half an hour later, the shouts of killing in the imperial city quickly weakened and there was deathly silence. Come down.

Feeling that something was wrong, the Zhou family couldn't help but look extremely ugly.

As a result, conflicts in the Zhou family broke out, and everyone spent a long day quarreling, suffering, and regretting.

Just one day later, one bad news after another came one after another!

The first one was that the prince's coup attempt at Ziwei Palace failed. The prince was deprived of his position as prince, thrown into the clan's palace, and imprisoned until death.

Then there was news that the Holy Emperor was assassinated by an assassin during the Ziwei Palace coup, and his life and death are still uncertain.

It seemed that this was good news for the Zhou family, but at this moment, a piece of extremely bad news suddenly came, which immediately made the Zhou family shudder.

"One of the assassins is Zhou Zhonglu, a member of the Zhou family's Jizu clan, and his identity is unmistakable!"

Zhou Yingze did not doubt the authenticity of this news, because it was spread by a dead soldier of the family who went deep into the imperial city and risked his life.

In the meeting hall of the Zhou Mansion, the restless atmosphere was almost boiling. The emotions of regret and annoyance were like kerosene, a spark could set the hall on fire.

"Impossible! He will never be so stupid in the middle! There must be something fishy about this!"

"Master Qi, you are right! There is something very fishy about this matter. The prince cannot be stupid enough to let Zhong Lu participate in the assassination. He is not qualified for such a most confidential matter!"

"Hmph! Is this news false?"

Zhou Yingze said with a solemn expression: "There can be no lies! This is coming from a dead member of the family."

"Master, what should we do now?"

"Why haven't our ancestors come out of seclusion yet?"

"Master, does the ancestor know about this?"

Looking at the panicked and restless clan elders, Zhou Yingze felt an unknown fire rising in his heart, what a bunch of old waste! Usually he's the best at holding back, but when it comes to business, he's completely blind!

But this was not the time to dwell on this. Zhou Yingze forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "The ancestor already knows about this matter and has also issued a decree."

As soon as they heard the ancestor's order, the hall immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at the family master expectantly.

Zhou Yingze didn't show any concern and directly informed everyone of his ancestor's intentions.

It can be summed up in sixteen words: "Abandon the soldiers to save the chariot, cut off the flesh and admit defeat, shrink the power, and the four tribes will resist!"

The first three are easy to talk about, but the four major families of ligers, tigers, and wolves usually have a lot of nasty conflicts. This makes the Zhou family humbly ask for help from the other three families, asking "brother is righteous and can help his brother."

Seeing the Zhou family's misfortune, the three families were not necessarily willing to help. Instead, they mostly added insult to injury.

Seeing the embarrassment of the clan elders, Zhou Yingze said angrily: "Confused! How long has it been since this happened? You are still worried about your face! If the Zhou family falls, will you have a good ending?"

"Impossible! Our Zhou family is at least——"

"Idiot! You have a knife on your neck and you still can't understand! At your age, you are really living in a dog's belly."

After scolding a bunch of fools, Zhou Yingze threatened again: "Don't you dare to resist the decree issued by our ancestors?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.
