Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 143 Zhou Mingde's Abacus [Subscribe]

Lin Hongyu left the Zhou family very quickly.

Judging from the expression on her face when she left, she was obviously quite satisfied.

But after Lin Hongyu left, the two Zhou family leaders sat in the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain with gloomy faces, and did not move for a long time.

After sitting in silence for a long time, Zhou Daoyi sighed with a heavy face and said, "We shouldn't have agreed to her!"

"This is courting disaster!"

"If this matter gets out, our Zhou family will be destroyed!"

After saying this, Zhou Mingde on the opposite side also sighed softly: "Of course I know these things, but the situation is beyond my control!"

"If we don't agree to her, whether she makes a scene inside the mountain gate or makes public the fact that you got the inner core of the green dragon and you have an affair with her, the troubles our Zhou family will encounter will not be any less than if we agree to her!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi was suddenly speechless and unable to refute.

He had seen Lin Hongyu's strength with his own eyes. When her secret technique was unleashed, even the late Purple Mansion cultivators of Qinglian Temple had to avoid her. Her strength was definitely not comparable to Zhou Mingde's.

Moreover, since he dared to come to the Zhou family alone this time, he must have been well prepared.

If she really makes a big fuss in the Zhou family, even if the Zhou family can use the power of the mountain protection formation to suppress her, no one knows how many members of the clan will die!

The consequences would be no different from destroying a family or a clan.

But thinking of Lin Hongyu's previous conditions, Zhou Daoyi's eyelids jumped again, and he couldn't help but say: "But if we really do as she said and collect mortals and independent cultivators with spiritual roots for her, we will be truly aiding the enemy. Just based on this, once the matter is leaked, we will never be able to clear ourselves!"

"I know this too well!"

Zhou Mingde raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "But for now, we can only pretend to be submissive and drag it out!"

At this point, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "Besides, aiding the enemy also depends on how we define it. If we can find some breakthroughs from the Hualong Sect afterwards and find a way to make them suffer a big loss, then this is not aiding the enemy, but giving first if you want to take it!"

After saying that, he concluded: "In short, we should delay it as much as possible. When your Azure Cloud Python turns into a dragon, we will have the confidence to turn against you, and then we can find a way to solve this problem once and for all!"

But when Zhou Daoyi heard his idea, he always felt it was too risky.

With the strength of the Zhou family, if they do something like walking on a tightrope alone, any mistake will lead to the destruction of the family!
So he said again: "Why don't we confess to Qinglian Temple? Through Taoist Mingxia, tell the Qinglian Temple's top leaders about this matter and see what they plan to do!"

"If they ask about the Green Dragon Inner Pill, we can just say it has been used up. They can't just attack and kill our Zhou family for this!"

However, when Zhou Mingde heard what he said, he shook his head and said, "It won't work. Not to mention that Qinglian Temple must have a way to verify the truth of our words, even if they really don't want to investigate the matter of Qing Jiao's inner elixir, if we hand this handle to them, it is equivalent to entrusting the lives of our entire clan into someone else's hands!"

"Don't forget, the reason why our Zhou family is helping Qinglian Temple now is because our family's roots are within their sphere of influence, so we have no choice but to do so, not because our family has any connection with Qinglian Temple, nor because we have any deep hatred with Hualong Sect!"

"Seriously speaking, Qinglian Temple is the culprit for our Zhou family's current situation!"

These words made Zhou Daoyi silent.

Indeed, Qinglian Temple is not a good thing for the Zhou family.

It was Qinglian Temple that broke up the Three Absolute Sect in the first place, and in order to get Qinglian Temple to take in these foreign monks, the Three Absolute Sect was forced to give nearly half of its savings to Qinglian Temple as "tolls".

With this barrier in place, handing over the handle to Qinglian Temple at this time would be like putting life and death in someone else's hands!

Unless he is willing to give up the Green Dragon's inner elixir and offer this thing as well!

But when he thought about the "sacrifice" he made in order to obtain the Green Dragon's inner elixir, and the importance of this item to himself and the Zhou family.

Zhou Daoyi quickly killed this idea.

That's absolutely impossible!
"Okay, don't think too much about it. Although this matter may have serious consequences, as long as we and Lin Hongyu are careful, it may not be exposed, and the benefits will be great!"

"The Hualong Sect has opened up such a large area beside the Longyuan Lake where monsters are rampant. They must have a lot of rare treasures. If we can obtain some of the things that our Zhou family urgently needs through transactions with Lin Hongyu, it will obviously help strengthen our family!"

"It is better to rely on yourself than on others. As long as our Zhou family becomes stronger and has the capital to make a fortune again, it is not a bad idea to completely surrender to the Hualong Sect or go somewhere else!"

Zhou Mingde said this, then waved his hand and said: "Anyway, things have come to this point now. Any choice may overthrow our Zhou family, so we naturally have to choose the one that can help the family develop faster!"

There is no free benefit in this world!

Since Zhou Daoyi was able to take advantage of the situation and obtain the inner elixir of the Green Dragon, and failed to silence the witness in time, he was destined to pay the price for it.

Zhou Mingde saw this very clearly.

Therefore, he knew better than Zhou Daoyi, who was an insider, that since the Zhou family was reluctant to give up the benefits, they would definitely have to bear the risks that came with it.

Moreover, although it is dangerous to seek the skin of a tiger, the rewards are also great.

Just like when he led people to rebuild the Zhou family at the risk of breaking up with Yu Jinghua and losing his life, it was also a big adventure, but the rewards after success were equally huge.

Therefore, when faced with the need to make a risky choice, he dares to take risky actions!
After his repeated persuasion, Zhou Daoyi no longer mentioned informing Qinglian Temple.

The two of them quickly began to discuss how to conduct a transaction with Lin Hongyu safely and covertly.

However, after the two discussed for a while, Zhou Daoyi suddenly said: "The one who is handling family affairs now is Zhengchun. If we want to use the power of the family to do this, it is impossible to hide it from him. Why not call him over to discuss it!"

"This……"

Zhou Mingde looked a little hesitant and did not agree immediately.

Zhou Daoyi understood that he was worried that the more people knew, the greater the risk of leaks.

But he still said seriously: "If you don't trust him, then how can you, the Supreme Elder, let him take over the position of clan leader in the future? Besides, he already knew that the Green Dragon Inner Pill was in my hands."

"Well, then let's go to Zhongping Palace to discuss this together."

Zhou Mingde nodded and agreed with what he said.

So the two of them immediately went to Zhongping Palace to discuss the matter with Zhou Chun.

Of course, in order to save Zhou Daoyi's face, the two did not mention the erotic affairs between him and Lin Hongyu. Instead, they said that Lin Hongyu was seriously injured at the time and could only escape with part of the remains of the Green Dragon, and this time she came to take revenge.

Even so, when Zhou Chun heard the deal reached between the two and Lin Hongyu, he was extremely shocked and dumbfounded on the spot.

"I know you are shocked by this, but I have discussed this with the Grand Elder. This is the best option for the Zhou family right now. So I want to discuss with you how to keep the transaction as secret as possible so that this matter will not be exposed!"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun, who was shocked, and said his intention in a low voice. What he meant by this was that Zhou Chun should stop asking why he did such a risky thing, but think of ways to reduce the risk to the minimum.

Zhou Chun could naturally hear this.

After hearing what Zhou Daoyi said, his first thought was to outsource!

As long as the Zhou family does not use the family's power to do this matter personally, even if it is exposed and leaked, it can be pushed to the outsourced person.

But he soon realized that this kind of thing would not work in this world of cultivating immortals.

Although the world of immortal cultivation also has rules and order, when it comes to matters of such huge magnitude, the big forces will not talk about rules and order with the small forces.

Moreover, even in the world of his previous life, the company that dared to outsource such an important matter could not be a force like the Zhou family without a big background.

So outsourcing will only make it easier for this matter to be leaked and exposed.

"I think that if we want to keep it secret as much as possible, first of all, the transaction location should be outside of Lanzhou. Then, we can't go to find people under the banner of the Zhou family. It's best to find mortals with spiritual roots and talents in the way of casual cultivators recruiting disciples, and try to send mortals over."

“Even if we must send independent cultivators over, we should try to choose independent cultivators from other states who are not familiar with our Zhou family!”

"Also, I think the biggest possibility of this matter being exposed is not in our Zhou family. As long as we don't send people to her on a large scale, it's unlikely to be discovered."

"The one most likely to expose our Zhou family is the Hualong Sect. If they fail to keep it secret, our Zhou family will be easily exposed!"

Zhou Chun's mind was working rapidly, and he quickly put forward several opinions of his own.

To be honest, he felt that if he did this for too long, it would only be a matter of time before he was exposed.

After all, what the Hualong Sect wants is not the dead, but the living.

There is no need to think too much about what their purpose is in wanting these living people. They must want to use these monks and mortals who can practice to expand the power of their sect.

After all, the Hualong Sect is located in a remote wilderness, and it is very difficult to find monks with sufficient qualifications for cultivation.

Otherwise, they have already established their own country abroad, so why would they bother themselves with provoking the various factions in the Yasukuni Shrine?

After these living people arrived at the Hualong Sect, if they had any resentment towards the people who deceived them into the Hualong Sect, they would easily find a way to spread the news and attract Jingguo to investigate.

But Zhou Mingde and the others must have been aware of this, so Zhou Chun did not elaborate on it, but only pointed out the risks of exposure.

"We have also considered the risks that the Hualong Sect is most likely to be exposed to, so we also agree that it is best to send mortals over. At least it will take more than ten or eight years for mortals to grow to the point where they can work for the Hualong Sect!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhou Chun's statement.

But he soon showed a worried look and said, "But Lin Hongyu has set a bottom line for us. Every time we trade, there must be at least ten cultivators, and we have to trade at least once a year!"

"What? One trade per year!"

Zhou Chun's face changed and he looked at Zhou Mingde and the others in surprise.

Zhou Mingde knew what he was surprised about, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There's nothing we can do. We also think the conditions are too harsh, but she is not giving in at all in this regard. She would rather increase our compensation than give in!"

"Then this matter is really very difficult to deal with!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, also feeling overwhelmed by the incident that the two senior Zhou family leaders had caused.

With the Zhou family's influence and strength, it is not difficult to quietly send ten Qi Refining cultivators to the Hualong Sect every year.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that this matter requires too high confidentiality. The real inside story can only be known by the three of them, but they cannot be the only three of them to take action.

But how can we make the people who took action not ask for reasons and have the ability to arrest people completely according to the requirements of several people?

Suddenly, Zhou Chun had an idea and thought of a suitable candidate.

He immediately looked at Zhou Mingde and the others and said, "Grand Elder, Clan Leader, what do you think of the old ape guarding the library? If the old ape is allowed to arrest people, as long as the clan members who are not familiar with it see it, even those who are arrested will only see it!"

"That [Green Wood Spirit Ape]?"

"good idea!"

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi's eyes lit up and they instantly understood what Zhou Chun meant.

[Green Wood Spirit Ape] almost never leaves Fei Shi Peak, so no outsiders can see it except the cultivators of the Zhou family.

If we let it out to catch people, we won't have to worry about the news leaking from the Zhou family.

Zhou Mingde immediately said: "Daoquan is also a trustworthy person. We can let him know about this matter and cover for us!"

"If that's the case, then the target is easy to choose. We can choose those bandit cultivators who have done all kinds of bad things. Sending such people to the Hualong Sect can be considered a good deed for the Jingguo cultivation world!"

Zhou Daoyi also followed suit and expressed his own views.

"Then let's settle it like this for now. I'll think about the details after we go back and make sure everything is foolproof!"

Zhou Mingde made the decision on the spot and ended the conversation.

After Zhou Mingde left, Zhou Daoyi did not leave immediately. Instead, he repeated to Zhou Chun the conversation he had had with Zhou Mingde and explained the reasons for making such a risky decision.

After listening to his retelling, Zhou Chun finally understood why the two family leaders did this.

This time, my heart was no longer filled with doubts as before.

So in the following period of time, several people in power in the Zhou family gathered several times to discuss this major event that concerned the life and death of the family, and finally they decided on a feasible solution.

However, there is still a year before the next transaction, so Zhou Chun and his team are naturally not in a hurry to take action immediately.

At this time, the Wang family of Hongyao Valley suddenly sent Zhou Chun news about the meridian protecting pills he needed.
