Chapter 511 The Zhang Family: Angry and Helpless
Knowing son Moruo father.
Xiao Zhan knew Xiao Yan's personality better than anyone else.
It is absolutely impossible for him to succeed as head of the family.
If Xiao Yan does not succeed as the family head, even if he returns to the Xiao family in Blazing Flame Immortal City, he will not be able to obtain much support in terms of resources.
To put it bluntly, if he didn't have Xiao Yan as his son, or if Xiao Yan were still a good-for-nothing, would the Xiao family of Blazing Flame Immortal City even give them a second glance?
He shook his head and said, "It's okay to acknowledge one's ancestors and return to one's roots."
But my Xiao family of Wutan Mountain will not return to Blazing Immortal City.
Xiao Yan is also unlikely to succeed as the clan leader.
As for coercion?
Xiao Zhan wasn't worried. With the Zhang family involved, would the Blazing Flame Xiao family dare to do that?
The Zhang family has four or five Golden Core cultivators above them, and many other prodigies such as Zhang Xuanbing and Zhang Xuanchen below them.
It's obvious who has a brighter future to follow.
Moreover, with that mysterious master around, what difference does it make whether Xiao Yan has the support of the Blazing Flame Xiao family or not?
Xiao Zhan looked at the eldest elder of the Xiao family, who seemed to want to say something more, and knew perfectly well what he was thinking.
Turning to look at the Xiao family members, he said:
"If any of you wish to return to the Blazing Flame Xiao family to enjoy a life of luxury..."
Please do as you see fit.
I, Xiao Zhan, will absolutely not stop you.
It will be more peaceful with him gone, and he can better focus on his cultivation without being bothered by family matters.
"We're not leaving, even though we're considered members of the Xiao family."
However, they were separated from the Xiao family clan for over a hundred years.
Who knows what arrangements will be made for us when we get back?
Not only might they face exclusion, but they might also be assigned to dirty and tiring jobs.
"Yes, chieftain, we are not going back."
"Once you go back, you won't see Young Master Bing anymore."
……
Xiao Zhan simply waved his hand at the discussions among his clansmen.
He spoke again: "Those who wish to go to the Blazing Flame Xiao Clan can register with the Grand Elder."
Registration will close seven days later.
At that time, the clan chief will give those who register some travel expenses.
Now, let's disperse.
Just do what you're supposed to do.
After saying that, Xiao Zhan walked towards his small courtyard.
Most of the Xiao family members also dispersed.
Only a handful of clansmen have a deep-seated desire to return to their ancestral home.
They stood beside the Grand Elder, whispering to each other.
……
Somewhere in the forest.
Xiao Bingbing was exhausted after traveling all day.
She stood beside a large tree, lost in thought.
At her speed, it would take her several days to reach Xuanxiao Mountain.
By then, the Zhang family must have already received news of Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing's return.
Wouldn't she have made a wasted trip?
It would be better to inform the Zhang family's cultivators stationed at the sacred site.
They specified a means of quickly notifying the family.
And the closest mountain to her is Fire Maple Mountain!
Just do it.
Xiao Bingbing immediately turned around and flew towards Fire Maple Mountain.
They arrived at Fire Maple Mountain in just three hours.
At this point, Fire Maple Mountain was no longer a top-grade first-tier spiritual mountain, but a proper second-tier low-grade one.
The concentration of spiritual energy on the mountain has increased several times.
This is to better enable the Warm Down Chicken to break through the bloodline limitation and reach the first-tier mid-grade level.
At this time, the number of Warm-feathered Chickens on Fire Maple Mountain had reached a terrifying 80,000.
There are a full ten thousand of them, of the first-tier mid-grade quality.
It was definitely an important source of income for the Zhang family.
The one guarding Mount Ling is Zhang Hongyan, who is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and is also a second-level low-grade alchemist.
Upon sensing that someone had intruded into Fire Maple Mountain, Zhang Hongyan, who had been cultivating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
He quickly arrived in front of Xiao Bingbing and saw that the woman in front of him was wearing Xiao family attire.
His gaze softened slightly, and he said softly:
"May I ask what brings you to my Fire Maple Mountain, young lady?"
But is the Xiao family in danger?
Sensing the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Zhang Hongyan, Xiao Bingbing dared not be negligent.
He immediately replied:
"In response to your question, senior, the Xiao family has indeed suffered a calamity."
But by then the crisis had passed.
The people who helped the Xiao family out of their predicament were Master Lin and Young Master Xuanbing.
By this time, they had already marched towards Ninglu Sect.
The clan chief specifically asked me to report to the Zhang family.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongyan's expression changed.
He grabbed Xiao Bingbing's wrist and asked excitedly, "Is this really true?"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Zhang Hongyan excitedly said three "good"s in a row.
The Zhang family's crisis can be resolved!
The Zhang family's crisis can be resolved!
As the deputy head of the Zhang family's Sacred Pill Hall, she naturally knew that Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing had gone out to break through to the Golden Core stage.
His return at this time signifies that Xuanbing has successfully broken through.
failure?
With Xuanbing's talent, failure is impossible.
"Little girl, come with me."
With that, Zhang Hongyan led Xiao Bingbing directly to the small courtyard halfway up Fire Maple Mountain.
He then took out a second-tier high-grade communication talisman.
Activate, and speak:
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law and Xuanbing have returned and are currently attacking Ninglu Sect."
Make a quick decision!
……
Xuanxiao Mountain.
Inside the Zhang Family Hall.
Zhang Hongzhan, Zhang Zujun, and the elders all looked worried.
The current situation is quite unfavorable for the Zhang family.
Almost every two days, a subordinate force would turn against them.
As for a counterattack?
At this time, the Zhang family only had two Golden Core cultivators, Zhang Zujun and Gou Fugui.
A counterattack will only cause the Zhang family greater losses!
As for the news of Zhang Chongxian's death that the three major forces were spreading.
The Zhang family members simply didn't believe it.
Because the token left by Zhang Chongxian in the ancestral hall was intact.
But the more stubborn the Zhang family became, the more convinced the Ninglu Sect, Yunshan Sword Sect, Yunmeng Jiang Clan, and even other Golden Core forces were that Zhang Chongxian was dead.
The Zhang family's refusal to admit anything was merely a tactic to maintain morale within the army.
Every time a member of the Zhang family says that the Immortal Ancestor's life tablet is still intact and that the Immortal Ancestor is still alive, it will attract ridicule and slander.
In the eyes of those forces.
Zhang Chongxian could not have survived once he entered the summit of Tianhen.
After all, a late-stage Nascent Soul swordsman had died there.
If Zhang Chongxian were still alive, wouldn't he be even stronger than someone in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm?
This is simply not possible.
The reason the Zhang family claimed that Zhang Chongxian was not dead was either to deceive themselves or to intimidate the cowardly.
This left the Zhang family members both angry and helpless.
Everyone here is cursing their ancestor to perish!
I'm impressed!
That's how it is sometimes; even when you're telling the truth, others insist on believing it's false.
Just as Zhang Hongzhan was silent, he suddenly sensed something.
He immediately took out a communication talisman from his sleeve.
The moment it was taken out, Zhang Hongyan's voice rang out in the hall:
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law and Xuanbing have returned and are currently attacking Ninglu Sect."
Make a quick decision!
Upon hearing this, the Zhang family's senior members immediately stood up.
His eyes were full of surprise.
Zhang Guangyao laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Wanqing, Xuanbing is back!"
The Zhang family's crisis can be resolved!
"Hahaha! Yes!"
……
Their laughter was hearty, as if they were releasing all the pent-up frustration they had accumulated over the past period.
They were all aware of Lin Wanqing's combat strength.
Although he had only recently advanced to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
However, the combination of a second-grade Golden Core and the Heavenly Profound Body gives her combat power no weaker than that of a peak mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
This was personally verified by the Immortal Ancestor; it cannot be fake!
The melancholy on Zhang Hongzhan's face vanished instantly, and he immediately gave the order:
"Summon the clansmen!"
He led the Su family and other affiliated forces.
Annihilate all the forces in the Penglai Islands that have defected to the Ninglu Sect!
The three major forces of Ninglu Sect have all been killed on Penglai Islands!
Clear out the Penglai Islands in the shortest possible time and stabilize the situation!
As for the counterattack…
"Let's wait a little longer, until Xuan Chen or the Immortal Ancestor returns!"
……
