Chapter 276 Black sheep, tit for tat [Subscribe]

One-sided statements cannot be trusted. This is a truth that Zhou Chun understood very well in his previous life.

You should never simply choose to believe everything anyone says.

Otherwise, it is easy to be influenced by their words and lose your own thinking and judgment ability.

So when Zhou Yu, the former elder of the Zhou family, came to him to confess and beg, he did not respond and really believed him.

In the end, no matter what Zhou Yu said, he only agreed to help her convey her meaning to Zhou Mingde and other three purple mansion cultivators of the family.

After finally getting rid of Zhou Yu's entanglement, Zhou Chun returned to the family gate with Zhou Jiahe.

As soon as the two returned to the family, Zhou Jiahe, who had been taciturn, immediately apologized to Zhou Chun.

"I am very sorry for what happened today, Aunt Thirteen. Aunt Yu did me a great favor in the past. This time she came to me personally and asked me to ask you, Zhengchun, to go out and meet her. I really can't resist this favor, so I can only help her this time!"

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Zhou Chun guessed that this was the reason.

There is no other way except to repay the debt of favor. As long as Zhou Jiahe is not stupid, he knows how taboo it is for him, as an elder of the Zhou family, to secretly contact Zhou Yu, a traitor of the Zhou family.

Therefore, facing her apology at this time, Zhou Chun quickly chose to forgive.

He nodded slightly and said, "Thirteenth Aunt, I understand your difficulties. Let's end this matter here. You'd better not interact with those people privately in the future to avoid any bad misunderstandings!"

"Thank you Zhengchun for your understanding. Don't worry, I have repaid her kindness this time. If she comes to me again in the future, I will just pretend that I have never met her and will never help her again!"

Zhou Jiahe's expression relaxed and he immediately made a solemn promise in front of Zhou Chun.

After getting Zhou Jiahe's guarantee, Zhou Chun went to meet Zhou Mingde and relayed what Zhou Yu had said to the elder.

He knew in his heart that he and Zhou Yu had no relationship at all, and the other party would definitely not really expect to get any help from him.

The people Zhou Yu really counted on were Zhou Mingde and three other Zhou family Purple Mansion cultivators.

However, after listening to Zhou Chun's retelling, Zhou Mingde looked at him directly and said, "Zhengchun, what do you think about this matter?"

"It's hard for me to say. After all, I'm not familiar with the situation in Spirit Beast Villa, nor with the people who stayed in Spirit Beast Villa. It's hard for me to say much."

Zhou Chun shook his head and didn't express any opinion.

Seeing that he was unwilling to express his opinion, Zhou Mingde didn't want to force him.

He immediately nodded and said, "I understand. I will discuss this matter with Daoyi and the others to see what they think."

After that, he instructed Zhou Chun, "Don't let more people know about Zhou Yu's affairs for now, so as to avoid unnecessary disturbances. Zheng Chun, you should also arrange for someone to find out the news from the Spirit Beast Villa to see what the current situation is."

"Yes, this junior understands."

Zhou Chun responded and went back to work.

It is actually not difficult to find out the information about Lingshou Villa.

Even without going through the mouths of the Zhou family cultivators who stayed in Lingshou Villa, Zhou Chun had other ways to obtain the information.

He personally went to the Li family, ostensibly to maintain the relationship between the two families, but in reality to gather information about the Spirit Beast Villa from the Li family.

According to the information Zhou Chun learned, Lingshou Villa, like the Zhou family, had entrusted the alchemy work to the Li family.

The Zhou family is now a family with three purple mansions, and its atmosphere is very different. The patriarch Zhou Chun came to visit in person, so the Li family naturally cannot just brush him off with empty words.

After such inquiries, Zhou Chun indeed learned a lot of useful information.

Things turned out just as he had worried at the beginning. What Zhou Yu told him at that time was indeed just one-sided.

It is true that the current situation at Lingshou Villa is not good, but before Yu Jinghua went into seclusion to recuperate, he also made a lot of arrangements, so there won’t be any big chaos so soon.

To outsiders, the reason why Zhou Yu and other Zhou family cultivators were suppressed and excluded was entirely their own fault.

They have clearly become monks of the sect, but they still hold on to the old ideas from the days of the Three Absolute Sect. They want to be the boss of the sect and dominate other monks from other families.

The reason why they thought so was very simple. Many things in Lingshou Villa were taken from the Zhou family. As members of the Zhou family who stayed in Lingshou Villa, they should have the right to manage and have priority use of those things.

But to be fair, since Lingshou Villa is now operating in a formal sect mode, Zhou Yu and his colleagues' ideas and practices are undoubtedly contrary to the sect.

In particular, the largest number of people in Lingshou Villa are cultivators from other families, and they also have an absolute advantage in strength.

In this situation, Zhou Yu and others who are clearly at a disadvantage still want to occupy more resources. How can they make those non-Buddhist monks accept this?

So naturally, the Zhou family's old and young people, who were seen as old and young by outsiders like Zhou Yu, were ostracized and suppressed, and were deprived of many of their benefits.

It may be that Zhou Yu and others had indeed gone too far before, or it may be that they simply did not want to get involved in such a dispute. Zhou Zhenkun, a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator of the Zhou family who should have stood up for Zhou Yu and others, did not have the slightest intention of standing up for them.

Zhou Zhenkun was the person with the highest cultivation level in the Zhou family before the family split up, and had reached the middle stage of Purple Mansion cultivation.

However, this person and Yu Jinghua were actually master and disciple, and his loyalty to the Zhou family was not as firm as Zhou Mingde's. So when the family split up, this person chose to stay in Lingshou Villa.

It was also because of this person's leadership that Zhou family cultivators such as Zhou Yu could stay in Lingshou Villa with peace of mind.

Now, seeing that Zhou Zhenkun, whom he and others relied on, was unwilling to step forward, and yet unwilling to see the many resources he originally controlled being taken away by others, he also saw that the Zhou family in Jiufengling was becoming more and more prosperous day by day.

Zhou Yu and others set their sights on the Zhou family in Jiufengling, hoping that the Zhou family would help them regain their interests.

After learning this, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and no longer had any sympathy for Zhou Yu and the others.

These people are really a bunch of idiots, real black sheep.

Fortunately, the Zhou family has not discovered this kind of person, otherwise the prosperous situation of the Zhou family would be greatly overshadowed by this kind of person.

Soon Zhou Chun returned to his family and informed Zhou Mingde of what he had learned from the Li family.

Originally, Zhou Mingde was discussing with Zhou Daoyi whether to take this opportunity to bring Zhou Yu and others back to the Zhou family. However, after hearing the information brought back by Zhou Chun, the two immediately gave up the idea of ​​bringing these people back to the Zhou family.

"Don't worry about them. Since they chose to stay there, they have to bear the consequences. Why did they remember that we are a family when they were bullied?!"

Zhou Mingde said with a look of disgust, and directly ended the discussion of this topic.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly asked someone to inform Zhou Yu of Zhou Mingde and his family's decision, lest they still harbor any hope.

Originally Zhou Chun thought that this matter should end here.

Since they knew that the Zhou family would not help, Zhou Yu and others should be tactful and stop bothering the Zhou family. But the reality was very different from what he thought.

Zhou Yu, who was rejected by him, actually teamed up with two other Zhou family foundation-building cultivators to forcibly seize some important resources of Lingshou Villa and rebelled against the sect.

Then, no one knew what these three people had done before, which made Zhou Zhenkun, Xiao Lingyan and others suspect that it was the Zhou family of Jiufengling who instructed them to do so, and suspected that the Zhou family had hidden them.

Several Purple Mansion Stage cultivators from the Spirit Beast Villa came together to the outside of Jiufeng Ridge for this purpose, wanting the Zhou family to give them an explanation.

Such behavior naturally made Zhou Mingde, who was inexplicably blamed, very angry.

"Zhou Zhenkun, I'm warning you, this is the Zhou family's mountain gate, not a place where you can act recklessly!"

"Today, don't even mention that my Zhou family never took in those traitors. Even if we did, what can you do?"

"Do you really think the Zhou family today is still the same as it was thirty years ago?"

At Jiufeng Ridge, outside the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, Zhou Mingde glared at the three Purple Mansion cultivators from the Spirit Beast Villa with a face full of anger, and his words were also filled with anger.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

The Zhou family is no longer the weak Zhou family of thirty years ago.

Lingshou Villa is even weaker than it was thirty years ago.

Today, the Zhou family has three purple mansions, a third-grade intermediate-grade fire god jackal, and a third-grade lower-grade green dragon. In terms of strength on paper, it is already stronger than the Spirit Beast Villa which does not have a Jindan-stage cultivator in charge.

Naturally, Zhou Mingde would not endure humiliation and indulge the people on the opposite side like he did thirty years ago.

At this moment, as Zhou Mingde finished his words, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Daoquan, two of the Zhou family's Purple Mansion cultivators, also released their own aura.

The three Zhou family Purple Mansion cultivators glared at the three evil guests outside, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhenkun, Xiao Lingyan and the other three Purple Mansion cultivators from the Spirit Beast Villa all frowned, not knowing how the situation would end.

Based on their understanding of Zhou Mingde, they now almost believed that Zhou Yu and others were no longer in the Zhou family.

But now they have already made their preparations and are in a difficult situation.

If you leave in disgrace without doing anything, not only will you lose face, but word will also spread that the morale of the sect's monks will be damaged.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time with a frown on his face, Zhou Zhenkun said to Zhou Mingde in a deep voice: "Brother Wende, no matter what, we were once a family. I don't want to fight with you unless I have no choice!"

"But the Black Jade Toad stolen by Zhou Yu, Zhou Tong and the others is indeed a treasure of our sect. We must get it back, otherwise we will not be able to explain to Master Yu!"

"Brother Wende, if you know their whereabouts, please let us know. We will reward you handsomely."

Judging from what he said, he obviously still suspected that the defection of Zhou Yu and others was closely related to the Zhou family.

After hearing this, Zhou Mingde was shocked and angry.

He couldn't help but yelled angrily: "You don't have to use Yu Jinghua to pressure others. Even if Yu Jinghua came here in person today, I would give the same answer!"

At this point, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Zhenkun and shouted, "Also, ever since I brought people to Jiufengling to establish the Zhou family, there has been no relationship between us anymore. You'd better not try to make connections anymore!"

Such impolite words made Zhou Zhenkun's face turn completely dark, and he was furious.

He couldn't help but glare at Zhou Mingde and said in a low voice: "Zhou Wende, don't be ungrateful. Do you really think we are afraid of you?"

"I'll say it again. Hand over the whereabouts of those traitors. There is still room for maneuver. Otherwise, don't blame me for ignoring Master Yu's instructions and teaching you a lesson!"

It seemed to be a response to his words.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Lingyan and Wu Jingting, two Purple Mansion monks from the Spirit Beast Villa, also became full of energy and prepared for battle.

"Okay, you said so yourself, then let me see what you are capable of and how you can teach me a lesson!"

Zhou Mingde was so angry that he laughed. He immediately reached out and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, releasing the Fire God Jackal.

At the same time, Zhou Daoyi quickly called out his pet Qingqing.

The Fire God Chai and the Green Dragon Qingqing are now the two trump cards of the Zhou family.

So when Zhou Zhenkun and the other two saw this scene, they did not show any surprise.

"Zhou Wende, don't think that you are the only one who has the ability to cultivate a third-level monster."

Zhou Zhenkun showed a sneer on his face, and then he patted the spirit beast bag on his waist and released the spirit pet inside.

It was a huge silver-white giant rhino monster. The aura emanating from the giant rhino monster was also of the third level, lower grade.

"Oh, your Silver-Horned Rhino has also achieved a breakthrough?"

Zhou Mingde looked at the silver-white giant rhinoceros monster, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, nodded thoughtfully and said: "I understand, your Silver Horned Rhino was able to break through successfully because you took the inner elixir of the third-level demon beast!"

The most common and effective way for a mid-level monster to break through to a high-level monster is to swallow the inner elixir of a third-level monster with the same attributes.

However, the inner elixir of a third-level monster is extremely precious and hard to find. Even for a Jindan-stage cultivator, it is not easy to obtain an inner elixir with specific properties under normal circumstances.

Moreover, this method of swallowing the inner elixir to achieve a breakthrough is not absolutely safe and reliable, and the chance of failure is greater than the chance of success.

If it fails, the monster itself is in danger of exploding and dying.

However, Zhou Zhenkun and his silver-horned rhino seemed to have good luck. Not only did they successfully obtain an inner elixir with corresponding attributes, but the silver-horned rhino also succeeded in breaking through and evolving.

Now Zhou Zhenkun himself has reached the middle stage of Purple Mansion cultivation, and owns a third-rank low-grade demon beast, the Silver-horned Rhino.

In terms of personal strength, he is obviously not afraid of Zhou Mingde, who possesses a third-level intermediate-grade Fire God Jackal.

But what about Qing Jiao Qing Qing?
How should they deal with the combination of Zhou Daoyi and Qingjiao Qingqing?

While Zhou Mingde was still thinking about this matter, Zhou Zhenkun had already taken the initiative.

Chapter 1. Let's go cook now. I'll write Chapter 2 after dinner.
