Chapter 304: Crisis resolved, heart knot resolved [Happy New Year to everyone! ]

Jiufeng Ridge.

When the two Jindan stage cultivators started a fierce battle in the sky outside Jiufeng Ridge, Zhou Chun and others in the Zhou family's mountain gate were also worried.

Those independent cultivators and ordinary Zhou family cultivators who were unaware of the inside story were filled with fear and confusion over this series of changes, not knowing what to do.

Especially those independent cultivators, they had suffered an unexpected disaster. At this moment, they were all nervous and grabbed all the Zhou family cultivators they could find to ask questions and inquire about the situation.

But at this time, there was no possibility for those who knew the situation to come and explain to them.

In the end, in order to avoid any trouble, several Zhou family foundation-building elders could only use their own cultivation to intimidate those people and temporarily subdue them.

At the same time, when the ancestor of the Su family took the initiative to attack and started a battle with Liu Xi, Ruan Hongzhuang's usefulness was lost.

Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and Su Yuzhen, who also rushed out at this time, the three Purple Mansion Stage cultivators worked together and quickly exhausted the power of Ruan Hongzhuang's talisman. They killed her on the spot without even giving her a chance to beg for mercy.

After killing Ruan Hongzhuang, several high-ranking members of the Zhou family personally took charge of the various bases of the family's mountain protection formation, operating the mountain protection formation with all their strength to prevent Liu Xi from suddenly attacking.

The "Five-Directions Miro Formation" itself is also a powerful forbidden formation. Although it is impossible to stop a Jindan-stage cultivator due to environmental conditions, it should still be able to withstand a few attacks from a Jindan-stage cultivator.

The Su family's ancestor would definitely not sit idly by and watch Liu Xi attack the Zhou family's mountain gate.

Zhou Chun also walked out of the ancestral temple at this time, and went personally to explain the situation to the clan members and comfort the frightened clan members and independent cultivators.

After his personal explanation, the emotions of the Zhou family members calmed down. After all, the battle inside the mountain gate had ended, and they could not see the battle outside.

When those wandering cultivators learned that there was a battle between Jindan stage cultivators outside, although they were terrified, they were not stupid enough to make a fuss and leave immediately.

After Zhou Chun assured them that they would not be implicated and exempted them from the spiritual coins they had spent on today's practice, they all stopped making noise temporarily.

It was only at this time that Zhou Chun had time to watch the battle between the two Jindan stage cultivators.

This was different from the battles between Jindan stage cultivators that he had seen before. This time, Liu Xi did not have any younger generations or subordinates to be wary of, so he did not choose to fight with the Su family's ancestor in the sky.

Instead, he fought with the ancestor of the Su family in the sky less than fifty miles away from the Zhou family's mountain gate.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that he was planning to take the entire Zhou family as hostages to make the ancestor of the Su family be cautious.

However, there seems to be some gap between his strength and that of the Su family's ancestor.

After watching for a while, Zhou Chun discovered that Liu Xi had only relied on the green flying sword as his magic weapon to fight the enemy from beginning to end. The magic weapon he used to protect himself was actually a third-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon, as well as a secret protective technique he practiced himself.

On the other hand, the ancestor of the Su family not only has the eight-sided treasure mace as his own magic weapon, but also has refined a green jade staff magic weapon.

In this way, relying on the advantage of having one more magic weapon, the ancestor of the Su family can be said to have had an absolute upper hand from the very beginning.

"If this is all you have, then leave your life in Jingguo today!"

After fighting for a while, the ancestor of the Su family, after figuring out Liu Xi's methods, his eyes turned cold and he took real action.

But he let out a low shout and activated some magic spell. The eight-sided mace suddenly emitted a water-blue light and instantly condensed into a thick blue lightning that blasted towards Liu Xi.

This move was obviously beyond Liu Xi's expectations, and it was too late for him to fly back to defend with his sword.

But he is also a Jindan stage cultivator after all, so he still has one or two trump cards.

At that time, although he was shocked, he remained calm. With a flash of pain in his eyes, he waved his sleeves and raised a shining green wooden shield to block in front of him.

The turquoise wooden shield is not a magic weapon, but its power far exceeds that of ordinary third-level magic weapons.

The blue lightning released by the magic weapon released by the Su family ancestor hit the green wooden shield. Although it shattered the wooden shield in one blow, most of the power was offset and failed to really hurt Liu Xi.

"Oh, a magical instrument made from magical materials? What a waste of talent!"

The ancestor of the Su family narrowed his eyes and instantly saw through the reality of the emerald green wooden shield.

Magical weapons cannot be refined with ordinary materials. Any spiritual materials that can be used as the main material for refining magic weapons are rare treasures in the world that are hard to find.

This kind of spiritual material can of course not only be used to refine magic weapons, but also can be used to refine magical tools.

Because to refine magic weapons one must have the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage, and only cultivators in the Golden Core Stage can use magic weapons.

Therefore, after obtaining this kind of spiritual material, some weapon refiners whose cultivation level has not reached the Golden Core Stage would sometimes waste it by using this magical material to refine a third-order magical weapon in order to refine a powerful magical weapon as their masterpiece.

The power of the third-level magic weapon refined in this way is far beyond that of ordinary third-level magic weapons due to the strength of its material, but it is far inferior to magic treasures.

However, because of its strong material, it can accommodate a large amount of mana from a Jindan-stage cultivator. This third-tier magic weapon can sometimes compete with magic weapons.

Of course, it was just a touch.

Just like what Liu Xi did just now, at the cost of destroying the magic weapon, he forced the magic weapon to exert a power far more powerful than usual, blocking the Su family ancestor's killing move.

At this time, facing the ridicule of the Su family ancestor, Liu Xi could no longer control his anger. He looked at the Su family ancestor with anger and shouted in a deep voice: "Do you really want to break up with me just for the Zhou family? You know you can't kill me!"

Liu Xi was very confident that the Su family's ancestor could not kill him.

It is extremely difficult for a Jindan-stage cultivator to kill another Jindan-stage cultivator of the same level.

Through the fight just now, Liu Xi knew that although he was no match for the Su family ancestor, with the power of the two magic weapons in the Su family ancestor's hands, there was no possibility of killing him.

After all, if you can't beat him, won't he just run away?

If a Jindan-stage cultivator runs at full speed, he can quickly fly out of the territory of a country. Could it be possible that the Su family's ancestor could chase him to other countries?
However, facing his threat, the Su family ancestor sneered and said, "So what if we have a falling out? Can you still do anything to me, Su?"

He then continued in a threatening tone, "You are at least a Jindan-stage cultivator, and you must have a family in Qi Country. Do you dare to attack the younger generations in Su's family?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xi's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Indeed, except for a very small number of independent cultivators, the vast majority of Jindan stage cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation come from sects and families.

Of course, Liu Xi also came from a certain force in Qi State.

Now that he has traveled all the way to Jingguo to stir up trouble, he naturally has no scruples.

But if he dared to bully the younger cultivators of another Jindan family just because he had no ties with Jingguo, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

Seeing that he could neither beat the Su family ancestor in a fight nor could he win in an argument, Liu Xi suddenly felt like retreating and didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Okay, okay, you've been ruthless today. Liu admits defeat!"

He yelled with an ugly look on his face, then turned around and ran away.

"Where are you going!" The Su family's ancestor shouted and quickly chased after him.

The two of them chased and fled, and soon disappeared from the sight of Zhou Chun and others.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and others knew that the matter was resolved.

They all knew in their hearts that the pursuit by the Su family ancestor this time would not really produce any results, it was just an attitude.

Presumably, within a few days, the news that the Su family's ancestor fought a fierce battle against a foreign Jindan cultivator outside the Zhou family mountain gate and chased the enemy for thousands of miles would spread throughout Jingguo.

By then, the Zhou family's status in the eyes of other forces will definitely be greatly enhanced.

After this incident, the escaped Jindan-stage cultivator will definitely not come to Jingguo to cause trouble for the Zhou family again.

After all, the Su family's ancestor has already made his attitude clear. If he comes to cause trouble for the Zhou family again, it will be forcing the Su family's ancestor to go to Qi country to cause trouble for his force.

"Okay, this matter has finally been resolved. From now on, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief!"

On the Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde looked at the direction where the ancestor of the Su family left for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The attack of the Jindan stage cultivator this time was ultimately caused by his previous behavior, so he has always been the person with the most pressure.

Now that the problem was solved, he was naturally the happiest one.

"Yeah, it's finally over!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the "sacrifice" he made for this matter.

And the fact was just as they expected. The ancestor of the Su family came back in less than half a day after leaving in pursuit.

According to what he said, he chased the Qi country's Jindan cultivator for more than 3,000 miles and caused him some minor injuries in the process, which could be considered a lesson for the other party.

"I have already warned that person severely. If he dares to attack the Zhou family again in the future, I will definitely go to Qi Country in person. I don't think he would dare to take the risk of attacking the Zhou family for something that he is not sure whether it exists or not!"

"Of course, just in case, I will continue to stay in the Zhou family for the next six months."

On the Pagoda Peak, the returning ancestor of the Su family met with Zhou Chun and several other high-level members of the Zhou family, and explained the relevant situation in a calm tone.

His actions can be said to be the utmost kindness for the Zhou family.

After all, the deal between the two parties at the time was that if he helped the Zhou family get rid of the attacking Jindan-stage cultivator, they would no longer have to abide by the ten-year agreement.

Now that he is willing to stay in charge for another half a year, it can be said that he is taking great care of the Zhou family.

Therefore, after hearing his words, Zhou Mingde immediately thanked him, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Su. This favor and this sentiment will never be forgotten by this junior and the Zhou family!"

Then he tactfully led Zhou Chun and others to retreat first, allowing the ancestor of the Su family to recover his magic power in his own cave.

After getting outside, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and others checked Ruan Hongzhuang's storage bag and counted the spoils.

Back then in Yang State, Ruan Hongzhuang did not gain nothing. She took away the corpse of the earth-armored dragon and the demon pill.

But now, Zhou Chun and the others did not find these two items in her storage bag. It was obvious that they had been disposed of or left in Qi State's residence.

In her storage bag, besides some essential elixirs and talismans for going out, there were less than two thousand spirit coins.

From this, it is not difficult to see that she was prepared for unexpected events when she went out this time.

Fortunately, as a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Stage, the magical instruments she carried with her were not ordinary items. Even if they were sold at a discount, they could be worth tens of thousands of spirit coins, so it was not really a complete loss.

However, the Zhou family’s biggest gain this time is actually reputation.

The ancestor of the Su family did not hesitate to fight with another Jindan stage cultivator for the sake of the Zhou family, their newly formed in-law. As the news spread, the Zhou and Su families once again became the subject of discussion among many cultivators in Jingguo.

Although in the recent wars, battles among Jindan stage cultivators were not uncommon.

But it is still very rare for a Jindan-stage cultivator from a Jindan family to fight with a foreign Jindan cultivator over his family affairs, as happened this time.

Today, the ancestor of the Su family fought with a foreign Jindan-stage cultivator for the Zhou family. Will he fight for the Zhou family again in the future to deal with the enemies of the Zhou family?
This is something that many Yasukuni Shrine forces have to consider.

It can even be said in an exaggerated way that this battle of the Su family's ancestor directly brought decades of peace to the Zhou family.

From now on, any force that does not have a Jindan-stage cultivator in charge must consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the Su family's ancestor before thinking of becoming an enemy of the Zhou family.

Moreover, because it was a foreign Jindan cultivator who came to attack the Zhou family, the Qinglian Temple, as the legally the main sect of the Zhou family, also specially sent the Jindan cultivator Qing Lingzi to the Zhou family to inquire and investigate afterwards.

When Qing Lingzi learned from Zhou Mingde and the ancestor of the Su family that the visitors came to attack the Zhou family because of the underground tomb incident in Yang State, and knew that the Zhou family was the one who offered the prescription, he also made a promise in front of the ancestor of the Su family that he would definitely send people to Qi State to warn the other party.

This is the benefit of having the protection of a Jindan-stage cultivator.

If it weren't for the Su family's ancestor, even if Liu Xi destroyed the Zhou family, Qinglian Temple would not know who did it.

Even if they knew that the other party might come to destroy the Zhou family because the Zhou family obtained the relics of a Jindan cultivator, they would not go to the trouble to send people to Qi State to investigate the situation, let alone warn anyone.

What Zhou Mingde didn’t expect the most was that after this incident, Zhou Daoyi seemed to be touched by something and actually “figured it out”.

On this day, when the crisis of Zhou family was resolved, he discussed with Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi about who should go to Chengguo to meet Lin Hongyu and explain the matter of the [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] mine.

Zhou Daoyi actually volunteered to take charge of this matter and was willing to personally represent the Zhou family to find Lin Hongyu.

This made Zhou Mingde extremely happy.

"Great, Daoyi, you finally figured it out!"

He clapped his hands and cheered with joy on his face, his happiness was beyond words, which made Zhou Chun who was standing next to him stunned, not understanding why this matter was worth making him so happy.

In the spirit of asking questions when you don't understand, Zhou Chun quickly looked at Zhou Mingde and asked, "What did you figure out? Why are you suddenly so happy, Grand Elder?"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde's smile froze and he glanced at Zhou Daoyi.

However, Zhou Daoyi's face was calm and he showed no expression at all.

But not saying anything is the best indication, which means Zhou Daoyi no longer minds revealing this to Zhou Chun.

So he coughed twice and said, "Ahem, now that things have come to this, it's time to tell you, Zhengchun!"

The update is a little late because I was very busy during the day. Today I received three waves of relatives paying New Year’s greetings. Last night I didn’t sleep well because of the fireworks all night. I only had time to catch up on sleep at five o’clock in the afternoon, and got up to eat at around seven o’clock. Fortunately, I still finished the work before twelve o’clock!
