Chapter 166 The hidden story, the kind-hearted Zhou Chun [Subscribe]

"Junior pays homage to the Supreme Elder."

In front of the ancestral temple, when Zhou Mingde appeared, Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, then bowed with joy on his face.

Then the other Zhou family cultivators followed suit and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Grand Elder."

"I saw everything that happened just now."

"To be honest, this matter makes me very sad!"

"I used to think that the people who chose to follow me to Jiufeng Mountain must be extremely loyal and trustworthy to the family. They must be trustworthy and will not betray the family!"

"But I am very sad and disappointed now. I am disappointed that there are people among us who would sell out the interests of the family for a little personal gain! I am disappointed that there are people who would actually violate the family rules and ignore the prohibitions issued by me for a little personal gain!"

Zhou Mingde glanced at the Zhou family members in front of the ancestral temple and spoke with disappointment in his eyes.

His sad tone and undisguised disappointment made the Zhou family members lower their heads deeply.

Zhou Jiakui once again knelt on the ground, choking with tears in his eyes and saying, "It is all because of my failure to educate my son properly that this wicked boy made such a big mistake and brought shame to our family. Supreme Elder, if you want to kill me or chop me up, I am willing to accept it!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde nodded and said, "If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. As his father, you really cannot shirk this responsibility!"

Then he shook his head and said, "But my Zhou family has always been open-minded, and the family rules and laws have always been fair and just."

"Since you were completely unaware of this incident, it has nothing to do with you. The family will not pin the blame on you for the mistakes he made!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "You get up first."

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Zhou Zhenghuan, who was almost frightened to death by his sudden appearance.

But seeing a cold light flash in his eyes, he said coldly: "Remember, I spared your life today only because you followed me to Jiufeng Ridge, which can be regarded as a contribution to the establishment of the family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a red light shot towards Zhou Zhenghuan's abdomen.

what--

Accompanied by a scream, the cultivation that Zhou Zhenghuan had accumulated over decades of hard work was suddenly abolished.

Others also fainted due to the severe pain all over their bodies and the huge blow.

“Huan Er!!”

Zhou Jiakui screamed and hurriedly went forward to hug his son, tears streaming down his face.

When Zhou Mingde saw this, he seemed to remember something and his face darkened.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Don't let him leave the mountain you are on from now on, otherwise any Zhou family cultivator who sees him will kill him on the spot as a family traitor!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Jiakui immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you for your mercy, Grand Elder. I will keep a close eye on this evil boy in the future and never let him leave the mountain again!"

Zhou Mingde turned his gaze to those Zhou family members who were horrified because they had witnessed Zhou Zhenghuan's cultivation being abolished, and said sternly: "I hope you will learn from what happened today and never make the same mistake again!"

"Yes, I will definitely follow the teachings of the Grand Elder!"

Many members of the Zhou family responded in agreement and kept today's events firmly in mind.

The shock brought to them by watching the execution in public was much more useful than the clan rules and regulations on paper.

In the future, everyone will definitely take this as a warning and keep a close eye on their mouths.

"Then let's all go now, and don't discuss what happened today in front of outsiders, so as not to damage the family's image!"

Zhou Mingde waved his hand, gave some warnings, and then asked the gathered tribesmen to disperse.

Then he took Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi to his own cave.

After arriving at the cave, Zhou Mingde was not in a hurry to explain the gains of this outing. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Zhengchun, tell me about Zhou Zhenghuan's leak first!"

"Yes."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately told how he discovered that Zhou Zhenghuan had leaked the information and how he caught several people red-handed.

It turned out that Zhou Zhenghuan was called out for a drink by a casual cultivator named Tang Hu the day before, and there were two other casual cultivators present at the party.

Because they drank a lot of spiritual wine during the banquet, Zhou Zhenghuan couldn't control his mouth and told the story of the birth of the Green Dragon after being persuaded by Tang Hu.

In fact, the twenty spirit coins were given to him by Tang Hu afterwards in order to reassure him and ask him to keep the secret.

However, Tang Hu did not expect that he had deliberately invited several other independent cultivators in order to appease Zhou Zhenghuan and diversify the risks.

Someone will come to the Zhou family to inform on the matter after realizing that something is wrong.

So when he got the news that the Green Dragon was born, he left his residence and headed for Hongya Market.

Zhou Chun also learned yesterday from Zhou Jiagong, the deacon in charge of the External Affairs Hall, that Zhou Zhenghuan had been set up and leaked secrets.

So he hurriedly ordered people to capture Zhou Zhenghuan and several other wandering cultivators present, and then asked the third elder Zhou Daoquan to bring a special monster that could track people to Tang Hu's residence to capture him.

Although he came up empty-handed at Tang Hu's residence at that time, Zhou Daoquan was able to track him down more than 500 miles away from Jiufengling through the scent he left behind, and brought him back to his family.

"After interrogating Tang Hu, he confessed his identity. It turned out that he was a spy planted by the Zhang family of Tiantai Mountain in our Zhou family. His daughter married a cultivator of the Zhang family, and he also received a salary from the Zhang family every year!"

"Because last time he passed on the news that the Zhou family had undergone an unusual change and closed the mountain, the Zhang family took it very seriously, so they specially sent him spirit wine and spirit coins so that he could use them to bribe and lure the Zhou family cultivators to find out the truth of the matter!"

"And the other independent cultivators were indeed unaware of it. They were just being used by him for once."

Zhou Chun slowly told the whole story, then looked at the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

When he and the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui returned from the underground auction, Zhou Jiarui released the Fire God Jackal and killed a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

At that time, Zhou Daoyi did not tell him the other party's true origins. Later, he didn't know whether he had forgotten about it or not, and he never told him about it.

So much so that he learned from the casual cultivator Tang Hu that the late Foundation Establishment cultivator who was killed by the Fire God Jackal was actually the second elder of the Zhang Family in Tiantai Mountain!
"The Zhang family from Tiantai Mountain? It seems that they know about that incident and are holding a grudge against our Zhou family!"

Zhou Daoyi frowned, and instantly understood why Zhou Chun was looking at him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Oh, is this the family of the late foundation building cultivator who was killed by the Fire God Jackal?"

Zhou Mingde's expression also changed, and he remembered what Zhou Daoyi had said to him.

Then his face darkened and he said coldly, "What a shame to the Zhang family of Tiantai Mountain. We didn't care about that matter back then, but they are so ungrateful that they still hold a grudge against us!"

After that, he nodded to Zhou Chun and said, "Fortunately, Zheng Chun, you intercepted the person and brought him back in time. Otherwise, after the Zhang family got to know the news, they would definitely spread it deliberately, and then it would bring great trouble to our Zhou family!"

"Yes, at this critical juncture, we must not let anyone know that our Zhou family has a third-order dragon, otherwise it will definitely not be hidden from the eyes of the Dragon Transformation Sect!" Zhou Daoyi also nodded in agreement, knowing very well how great the consequences would be if the news leaked.

When Zhou Chun heard the two say this, his expression changed, and he couldn't help asking, "From what you two said, was your operation successful this time?"

Hearing his question, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Yes, the operation was very successful, the target fell on the spot, and turned into ashes!"

"That's great! This is undoubtedly the best outcome!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but applaud and his face showed joy.

Zhou Mingde sighed deeply at this time: "Yes, once this operation is over, our Zhou family will no longer be controlled by others, and we can finally develop our family peacefully!"

Then he said in a deep voice: "So the matter of the third-level dragon must be kept strictly secret, and it must be kept secret for as long as possible!"

"Of course. After Zhou Zhenghuan's lesson, other members of the tribe will realize the seriousness of this matter and will not dare to spread it."

Zhou Chun said this and then asked in a low voice: "What about Tang Hu and the three casual cultivators who knew about it?"

Not wanting to hear his question, Zhou Mingde looked at him and asked, "What's your suggestion? Zhengchun, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"If the younger generation is to deal with it, Tang Hu deserves to die, and the Zhang family also needs to be warned, so it is best to send his head to the Zhang family as a warning!"

"As for the other three independent cultivators who knew about the situation, whether they can be killed or not is up to you, the Supreme Elder, to decide!"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Mingde and stated his plan in a deep voice.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Mingde asked again: "The first one is easy to say, but what about the second one, which can be killed or not?"

"Of course, there is no need to say more. Just kill them all and silence them!"

"If you don't want to kill them, then ask the Grand Elder to personally use the Soul Stealing Technique to erase their recent memories. That way, the secret can be kept."

Zhou Chun answered this and cupped his hands, saying, "If possible, I would prefer not to kill him, because the arrest caused quite a stir at the time, and many members of the family also know that we arrested him. If we kill him and the matter is leaked out in the future, I'm afraid it will cause great damage to the family's reputation!"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but sigh softly: "Hey, Zhengchun, you are good in everything, but you are too upright and too kind!"

Are you kind?

When Zhou Chun heard what Zhou Mingde said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He killed many people and even took the initiative to assassinate others. There are also countless other shameful things he did.

He himself doesn't think he is a good person.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mingde now says that he is an upright and kind person!

But he couldn't explain anything now, so he could only sigh deeply and said, "I just don't want to become a purely selfish person!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but look at Zhou Daoyi beside him.

Finally, he looked at Zhou Chun with complicated eyes and said, "Well, for your kindness, I will take the trouble to erase the memories of those people!"

The secret art of stealing souls that can erase people's memories can only be performed by cultivators who have opened up the Purple Mansion.

However, this technique is not something that a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator would easily perform.

This is because this secret technique may have backlash. Once the will of the person being cast is too strong, the caster may fail and harm his own soul.

Therefore, Zhou Mingde agreed to Zhou Chun's use of this method, and he really took some risks himself.

Zhou Chun also knows this.

Therefore, he bowed and thanked her in a hurry: "Thank you, Grand Elder, for your help."

"Okay, then you go back and calm the people down first. After I rest for a few days, I will call you to bring people over to perform the spell."

Zhou Mingde waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

After Zhou Chun left, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and said, "Next, Daoyi, you should calm down the green dragon. If it doesn't work, let it sleep. Don't let it show up and leak the news."

"Yes, I will pay attention."

Zhou Daoyi nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde waved his hand again and said, "Then you should go back and rest first. Zhengchun will be in seclusion to practice his skills, so the family affairs will be left to you to handle."

A few days later, Zhou Mingde, who had rested well, personally used the soul-stealing secret technique to erase the memories of the past month for the three cultivators.

Because the loss of memory could not be concealed from anyone, Zhou Chun told the three people the truth afterwards and gave each of them 100 spirit coins out of his own pocket.

After knowing that they were involved in the Zhou family's secret, the three of them were terrified and did not dare to pursue the matter of their memories being erased.

In addition to the spiritual currency compensation given by Zhou Chun, the three of them later expressed that they would keep the secret strictly and would not mention the matter to outsiders.

In fact, even if they mentioned it, it would be useless.

Because of the erased memories, it would be impossible to recover them unless they succeed in forming a pill in the future.

After dealing with this matter, Zhou Chun also ordered people to send Tang Hu's head to Zhang family in Tiantai Mountain as a warning.

"What? The secret agent was discovered and killed by the Zhou family!"

At the Zhang family in Tiantai Mountain, the patriarch Zhang Kaida's face changed drastically when he looked at the head that was brought to him.

It was indeed Tang Hu who was sent by him to spy on the Zhou family, and he had also provided a lot of intelligence about the Zhou family to the Zhang family before.

But he never thought that this hidden clue would be discovered so quickly and come back to his sight in this way.

"Zhou family, what a great Zhou family! You are so cruel!"

He gritted his teeth, and immediately ordered someone to take the head back to his daughter for memorial service and burial, and then went to report the matter to the family's Purple Mansion monk.

The Zhou family’s warning still has a certain deterrent effect, and he must take it seriously.

After a few days, a cultivator from the Zhang family arrived at the Zhou family in Jiufengling and presented a thousand spirit coins as compensation.

However, at this time Zhou Chun had already started to practice "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" in seclusion, and the person who received him was Zhou Daoyi, the head of the Zhou family.
