Hunting Immortals and Demons

Lu Yan frowned slightly and said, "What about your Zhou family's first-class martial arts and the divine intention of the Goshawk's Red Flame Claw?"

"Naturally, he was taken away by Zhou Hejian. The Zhou family did not have Wuhou in charge. He was worried about staying with the Zhou family, so he took it with him. Now, I don't know whether it fell into the hands of the Qiu family or the Liu family."

Zhou Zhengkong said.

Lu Yan was speechless.

I still want to get first-class martial arts from the Zhou family, but it seems that there is no chance.

"I am naturally happy that Zhou Hejian is dead, but without Marquis Wu in charge, the Zhou family can no longer be regarded as a powerful family, and a disaster is imminent."

Zhou Zhengkong sighed with a complicated expression.

"No wonder I saw people from the He family and Ge family in the city." Lu Yan said.

"They all came to carve up the Zhou family. Without Marquis Wu in charge, the martial arts chefs of the Zhou family have become fragrant steamed buns. Everyone wants to take a bite. Hmph, any kind of kindness is bullshit in the face of interests."

Zhou Zhengkong sneered.

In the Great Chu Dynasty, there was a huge difference between having Wuhou in charge and not having Wuhou in charge.

Only when Marquis Wu is in charge can one be considered a powerful person.

Without Marquis Wu in charge, it cannot be considered a powerful family and is not qualified to occupy the Bloodline.

What is rightful will be divided up, and others cannot say anything, even if the Zhou family was kind to them in the past.

When there is Marquis Wu, those favors are considered favors, and others dare not act rashly, otherwise it will be true and even cause a group to attack.

But without Wuhou, those favors would be bullshit.

This is the unspoken rule of this world, the default rule for everyone.

"The four great clans came together and gave us a month to prepare. One month later, the Zhou family's martial arts chefs will be divided into four parts, and they will go with the four great clans respectively and become their exclusive martial arts chefs. We are unable to resist. Now , ten days have passed, and there are still twenty days left before the Zhou family will be completely removed."

Zhou Zhengkong continued, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.

"If the Zhou family can give birth to a Wuhou within these twenty days, will the problem be solved?"

Lu Yan said.

"Of course, as long as there is Marquis Wu, the Zhou family will still be a clan and have independent power. The Zhou family's kindness to those clans will still count, and they will not be able to take action, otherwise they will live up to their words."

"But it is not that easy to give birth to Wuhou. It is difficult to find the alienated nine-section heart. If you force a breakthrough, the success rate is only 20% at most. In fact, before this, the Zhou family had already had a fifth-level peak warrior who tried to attack Wuhou. As a result, his bones exploded and he died.”

"What a shame, Zhou Hejian's lineage, in order to suppress my lineage, did not give me the alienated Jiujie's heart and soul, but gave it to those losers. If it had been given to me, I would have been a Wuhou long ago."

Speaking of the latter, Zhou Zhengkong was filled with anger.

Lu Yan took off the backpack on his back, opened the food box, and placed it in front of Zhou Zhengkong.

Zhou Zhengkong was surprised and didn't know what Lu Yan meant, so he took a curious look.

At one glance, he froze, a fiery light flashing in his eyes.

"Alienated Jiujie's heart, Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"

He asked, resisting the urge to rob.

Although Zhou Hejian is dead, the confession he wrote has greatly reduced its binding force on him.

But Lu Yan's own strength still made him fearful.

Although he has improved in the Goshawk Red Flame Claw over the years, he is still not sure that he can defeat Lu Yan.

"I give it to you. With this alienated Jiujie heart, are you sure you can defeat Wuhou?"

Lu Yan said.

"Yes, I am at least 60% sure. I have accumulated many years at the peak of Wupo, and with my martial arts talent, how can I be comparable to those mediocre people?"

Zhou Zhengkong's chest thumped loudly, but he quickly calmed down, looked at Lu Yan suspiciously, and said, "You don't use the nine-section alienated heart for yourself?"

Lu Yan activated his bone strength, grabbed the corner of the stone table and squeezed it gently. The corner of the stone table immediately turned into powder and floated in the wind.

Zhou Zhengkong's pupils contracted and he lost his voice: "Gu Jin, have you defeated Wuhou?"

"good!"

Lu Yan nodded.

"Zhou Zhengkong pays homage to Mr. Wuhou. I have offended him many times in the past. I hope Mr. Wuhou will forgive me. You don't remember the faults of small people."

Zhou Zhengkong stood up and saluted respectfully.

The Marquis of Wu and the Limit-Breaking Warrior are two completely different levels of existence.

Both status and force are worlds apart.

Lu Yan was already a Marquis of Wu, so Zhou Zhengkong was not qualified to be on an equal footing with him.

Lu Yan accepted Zhou Zhengkong's gift calmly and said, "This alienated nine-section heart is not given to you for nothing. The market price is 40,000 taels of silver."

"But I can't afford so much money at once."

Zhou Zhengkong said in embarrassment, feeling anxious. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of him, and he really didn't want to miss it.

Once successful, not only can the current hidden dangers of the Zhou family be solved, but his lineage can also regain the power of the Zhou family.

The attraction is too great.

"It's okay, just write an IOU and help me cook martial arts food and pay it back later."

Lu Yan said with a smile.

Does Zhou Zhengkong still have a choice? No.

He immediately took out the Four Treasures of the Study and wrote an IOU to Lu Yan.

"Sir, you stay in Guanshi's Mansion first, and I will go to attack Wuhou."

Zhou Zhengkong said, already impatient.

"Go ahead."

Lu Yan waved his hand.

Zhou Zhengkong carried the food box and left happily.

Lu Yan cleared away the five plates of martial arts food on the table, walked into a training room, and started practicing martial arts.

For the time being, he was in no hurry to make a breakthrough in any area, so he divided his martial arts energy into two, giving half to the Taoist book to improve his martial arts progress, and half to improve his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, twelve days passed.

Zhou Zhengkong came out of seclusion, high-spirited and breathtaking.

"Congratulations, your energy and blood have entered your bones, and your martial arts has been proclaimed."

Lu Yan smiled.

Zhou Zhengkong did not live up to his expectations. If he failed, it would be difficult to deal with it later.

"Brother Lu, each other."

Zhou Zhengkong put one hand behind his back, held his head high and held his chest high, as if he was discussing with Lu Yan on an equal footing.

The title of Lu Yan also changed from the previous 'adult' to Brother Lu.

Lu Yan smiled slightly.

"Brother Lu, now that Zhou Hejian is dead, many years have passed since Zhou Hezhen's incident, and times have changed. It's time for me to return that 'confession'."

Zhou Zhengkong said again.

Ah!

This is going too far.

Gotta beat.

Uh-huh!

Lu Yan slapped him directly.

Zhou Zhengkong was startled, and just wanted to dodge, but when he thought that he had become Wuhou, and his strength was much stronger than before, he suddenly became courageous, exploded with bone strength, used the goshawk's red flame claws to fight back, trying to catch Lu The wrist of words.

Lu Yan did not dodge, allowing Zhou Zhengkong to grab his wrist.

Zhou Zhengkong was overjoyed and immediately wanted to show Lu Yan a good look and force Lu Yan to hand over the "confession". He unleashed all his strength and twisted his fingertips with all his might.

Not moving at all.

what happened?

He didn't believe in evil and wanted to use his strength again. Three bone energies burst out in Lu Yan's body, and his wrists shook.

Zhou Zhengkong felt as if he had been electrocuted, his fingers felt severe pain, and he couldn't help but let go of Lu Yan's wrist.

Lu Yan grabbed Zhou Zhengkong's wrist with his backhand, swung it and smashed it.

With a bang, Zhou Zhengkong hit the ground, making a human-shaped pit in the ground.

Lu Yan let go of Zhou Zhengkong's hand, smiled softly, and said, "Do you want to spar again?"

Zhou Zhengkong spat out a mouthful of blood and said unwillingly: "I was careless just now. I didn't dodge. Come again."

bump! bump!

Two breaths later, Zhou Zhengkong was punched in both eyes by Lu Yan. He staggered back and sat on the ground, his eye sockets blackened into panda eyes.

It took him a while to recover.

"How much force did you use just now?"

Zhou Zhengkong asked unwillingly.

"Two points. Let's count it as three points."

"Three points."

Zhou Zhengkong gave up completely and was terrified at the same time.

Lu Yan's strength was simply unfathomable. He had a feeling that if Lu Yan wanted to kill him, it would be easy.

"Brother Lu, you are really an outstanding person. You are so young, but you have such strength. You can expect to become a master in the future."

This is Zhou Zhengkong's true words.

When Lu Yan faced Zhou Zhengkong, he didn't have a disguise, he was his true self, because when he first met Zhou Zhengkong, he didn't have a disguise.

At such a young age, probably in his early twenties, he has such a level of cultivation. Even among the master-level sects, there are only a handful of them.

The probability of breaking through to become a Grandmaster in the future is extremely high.

He was convinced and gave up any resistance.

"Grandmaster."

Lu Yan smiled and said nothing more.

Since then, Zhou Zhengkong has become more respectful to Lu Yan.

In the blink of an eye, eight days flew by.

On this day, the four great lords came together in the Zhou family's reception room, with more than ten people coming, headed by Marquis Wu.

The Four Great Gates and the Four Great Wuhou.

Leaders from all branches of the Zhou family also gathered together.

"Everyone, once the one-month period is up, everything should be sorted out. Now, please hand over the list of all Zhou's martial arts chefs, and we will discuss how to distribute them."

A Wuhou from the Ge family in Snake City spoke up. His face was cold and his tone was unquestionable, as if the people of the Zhou family were just commodities to be divided among them.

Having lost Marquis Wu, the Zhou family was no longer qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.

The leaders of the Zhou clan looked sad.

The weak are preying on the strong, and they are no longer able to fight.

"My lords, we have only one request."

The leader of one of the lines spoke, this person is the current main line of the Zhou family, and the strongest person in the Zhou Hezhen and Zhou Hejian line, Zhou Zhenghong.

"What is your request? Let's hear it and see if it's reasonable."

Zhui Fengcheng's He family said that Wu Hou said.

"We can follow you adults and leave, but in the future, if a new Wuhou is born to my Zhou clan, you must let us return to our ancestral land and rebuild the Zhou clan."

Zhou Zhenghong said.

"The birth of a new Wuhou? Of course."

Wuhou from the four great clans all nodded, but sneered in their hearts.

It is really naive to want to give birth to a new Wuhou. When Zhou's martial arts chef goes to their place, it is impossible to give birth to a new Wuhou. He will spend his whole life working as a cow and a horse, cooking martial arts food for them.

Zhou Zhenghong trembled and was about to hand in the list.

"I object."

At this time, Zhou Zhengkong spoke calmly.

Everyone looked at Zhou Zhengkong with surprise.

"Zhou Zhengkong, what do you mean?"

Zhou Zhenghong said.

"What do you mean? You just sold off the Zhou family's century-old inheritance and all the clan members? After your death, how can you face your ancestors?"

"I, Zhou Zhengkong, am ashamed to be in your company."

Zhou Zhengkong spoke loudly.

Many Zhou clan members looked ashamed.

But the situation is stronger than the people, what can they do?

Will you risk your life?

"Zhou Zhengkong, I am doing this for the sake of my clan."

Zhou Zhenghong defended.

"For the sake of the clan, we should not give them away, but preserve the inheritance of our ancestors. If my father were still alive, how could the Zhou family end up in such a situation."

Zhou Zhengkong stood up and shouted, filled with righteous indignation.

Zhou Zhenghong's face turned red, but he was unable to refute.
