Chapter 793: The Zhou Clan's Eastern and Western Sects Confronted Each Other
More than half a year later, I finally succeeded.

Zhou You turned his palm over, and the string of stone pillars that had disappeared reappeared. There were 37 in total, no more and no less, which corresponded to the number of peaks in Tianzhu Mountain and was also the total number of seal characters he left behind.

This string of stone beads is the entrance and key to Dzi Bead Mountain.

Zhou You can summon this string of beads and open the passage to Tianzhu Mountain with just a thought. This makes use of the function of his innate hunger, but the huge space inside Tianzhu Mountain combines the two seal characters of "Na" and "Zang".

It takes in everything and forms a small world within itself. This is the function of the seal character '納'.

There is no visible appearance from the outside. If there were no beads to open up the entrance, Tianzhu Mountain would still be that mountain range and would not interfere with the internal space. This is the function of the seal character "藏".

With the innate hunger anchoring function, Zhou You can open the inner world of Tianzhu Mountain to store items and enter it even if he is thousands of miles away.

With the help of the innate hunger activation function, living things can also enter the interior of Tianzhu Mountain for the first time.

Because Zhou You also planned to move the medicinal fields he had on hand into it, use the ever-growing soil to plant and harvest regularly, and run it into a secret base for refining his own medicine.

He completed this major project under the protection of his personal guards and in close contact with Zhu Qinghua and Yu Fuer.

At the moment of completion, Zhou You was surrounded by an infinite sense of satisfaction and success, making him extremely happy.

"My Lord, Grandmaster asks you to go back!"

More than half a year later, there was finally a response.

Zhou Youjing was so quiet that he wanted to take action. He also thought that Zhou Nanwang must have some instructions when he asked him to go home, so he took his men and left the Tianzhu Mountain Villa.

Although people have left, Tianzhu Mountain has been run as a secret base, and they often come back to farm, refine medicine, and develop their power.

Inside the residence of the Zhou family's Western Clan.

Zhou Nan looked at Zhou You and Yu Fu'er behind him, and nodded when he knew his adopted son's decision. "Well, Daqian, it's confirmed that the assassination you suffered was done by the Impermanence Killer."

"This organization does things very cleanly, and it's hard to find any clues, but I've been tracking them down these days, and I've caught the person who leaked your whereabouts. It's Zhou Yu from Dongzong."

Zhou Nanwang continued, "Although I also know that this matter is closely related to my stupid wife, but this time they were very careful and did not catch any flaws!"

He was also helpless, after all, she was his first wife. Although he knew that the other party was a strong suspect in the assassination of Zhou You, he could not do anything to her without evidence!
"Da Qian knows, Grandmaster, this matter is a mess, and there may not be only one mastermind behind it."

Zhou You analyzed seriously, "Since Dong Zong has been caught in the act, we cannot let it go. We must investigate to the end."

"You are right!"

Zhou Nanwang was very pleased. Zhou You really understood everything at once. A failed assassination was not a big deal. The most important thing was to use this incident to expand the influence and strike the opponent.

The East and West factions were not on good terms in the first place, and this time they were caught leaking Zhou You's whereabouts, so they must get to the bottom of this matter.

As for the internal affairs of the Western Sect, they can be resolved behind closed doors and there is no need to escalate them.

"You are injured, use these valuables to buy supplements!"

A treasure box was handed to Zhou You, which turned out to be the private money that Mrs. Zhou gave to her son to hire a murderer. If Zhou You opened the box and took a closer look, he would find that the treasures inside were all there, and even intact.

Zhou You asked Jian Xiaocao to take the treasure box and bowed to Zhou Nanwang, "Master, what happens next is entirely up to you!"

What he didn't know was that one of Zhou Nanwang's sons, named Zhou Mu, had never appeared again from that day on and had completely disappeared in the mansion of the Zhou family's Western Branch.

The assassination of Grandmaster Zhou Nanwang's adopted son was finally investigated after being left unsolved for more than half a year.

Zhou Nanwang holds important evidence. Dongzong Zhou Xie leaked Zhou You's whereabouts and he is the most suspicious. Although there is no evidence of collusion between him and the killer Wuchang, this alone is not enough to clear him of suspicion.

Moreover, Zhou Jie was a member of the Western Sect's direct lineage. His grandfather Zhou Tianyuan had a falling out with Zhou Nanwang over the separation of the Eastern and Western Sects. It was no exaggeration to say that they were enemies. Zhou Nanwang attached great importance to his adopted son Zhou Daqian and regarded him as his future successor.

This assassination incident directly intensified the conflict between the East and West sects!
For a while, the situation in the Left Mansion of Dijing changed suddenly, and everyone's attention was focused on the two branches of the Zhou family. If things went wrong, there would be a bloody storm.

On the Dongzong side, they directly invited out the three gentlemen who supported them, namely the third son of Lord Feng, a genius at the level of the Human Sect.

Zhou You then realized that not only were the Eastern and Western sects clearly divided, but the gentlemen who supported them were on different sides.

Among all the gentlemen, three are relatively older, possess the strength of masters, and are in their prime, giving them a huge advantage.

He came forward to support the East Sect, which put too much pressure on the West Sect.

Therefore, the Eight Gentlemen supported by Xizong, that is, Zhou Nanwang's camp, also came forward.

The Eight Gentlemen are at the eighth level of martial arts, and have not yet achieved grandmaster status. Their status and aura are a bit lacking, so please ask Uncle Wang to accompany them.

This uncle Wang is no ordinary person either. He is a member of a feudal lord clan, a royal noble, and a powerful person at the clan level.

"Da Qian, don't worry, even if we can't win, we can't suffer any loss."

Before leaving, Zhou Nanwang secretly told Zhou You.

It turns out that the division of the Zhou family into two sects, the East and the West, was not just his own attempt to do this, but was actually driven by forces from all sides.

It is not good for the noble families to be too united, so the Zhou family was divided into two branches, the East and the West, which fought and even consumed each other.

As the representative of the Western Sect, Zhou Nanwang will not only not be extinguished, but will have noble people helping him behind the scenes.

This is politics, about balancing and containing others.

Xizong took the initiative to launch an assassination attack, and various forces were happy to see it happen, and they were eager to have a chance to consume the power of the Zhou family.

The Xizong clan can also take this opportunity to seize more of the family's assets to strengthen itself.

Perhaps the only one with an injured hand was Zhou family's Dongzong.

However, Zhou Yu revealed Zhou You's whereabouts, which allowed the killer Wuchang to find him easily. He cannot deny the blame.

On the day of the negotiation, the location was at the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall.

The two sects, the East and the West, kept to themselves and stood in two rows facing each other, glaring at each other without saying a word.

The Zhou family's Eastern Sect, headed by masters Zhou Tianyuan, Zhou Feixing and other ancestors, respectfully invites the three gentlemen to be witnesses.

On the Western Sect's side, in addition to Zhou Nanwang, they also invited an octogenarian master from the Western Sect, which made them evenly matched with the other side.

The three gentlemen and Uncle Wang were also invited to the distinguished guest seats, which happened to be facing the three gentlemen.

Zhou You noticed that the two gentlemen had a big age difference. The third gentleman had an elegant appearance and a sturdy build, like a Confucian general who had fought in battles. In contrast, the eighth gentleman looked a little young, giving Zhou You the feeling that they were of the same age.

When these two people stand together, people would believe they are father and son. The age gap between the brothers is too big.

"Boom!"

With the sound of a bronze bell, the internal meeting of the Zhou family officially began.
