The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Lu Ye nodded. The news that the Western Demon Burial Plains were becoming more stable should have already spread.

"What did you do in the Western Region?" Jiang Lingyue's blush had faded considerably, and she looked on with curiosity.

"Would you believe me if I said I went to save the Western Regions?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye said in a half-joking tone.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lingyue's eyes lit up: "What...you went to do something so important?!"

Meanwhile, Yu Yu, who had hurriedly returned to her courtyard, had already sent a message to Yu You.

Unexpectedly, the news she received next left Yu Yu completely bewildered.

During the message, the uncle said he had never seen Lu Ye before.

Even though Yu Yu described Lu Ye's appearance in general terms, saying that he was a young man, the response she received was still the same.

"Ah...you've never seen him before? How did your brother-in-law, Junior Sister Jiang, meet your uncle?"

Immediately, Yu Yu was also filled with doubt.

Her parents had passed away long ago, so in order not to stay in this place of sorrow, Yu Yu did not join the Shangxiao Sect, but instead came to the Northern Territory alone and became a disciple of the Wuxiang Sect.

However, Yu Yu felt that Yu You had no reason to lie to her, since she had a fairly good relationship with this uncle.

So, does this mean that one of the two was lying?

But Yu Yu couldn't understand why her brother-in-law would need to lie.

After all, at that time, I had already decided to get up and leave.

Just as Yu Yu was about to retrieve the communication jade token, another message arrived.

Yu You: [By the way, regarding Lu Ye, I haven't actually met him. However, I have met a similar young man before, namely Chen Beixuan from your Northern Territory, Senior Chen.]

Senior Chen...?
Upon seeing this name, Yu Yu felt a slight jolt.

Uncle, have you met Senior Chen?!

Yu You: [That's right. News of the previous upheaval in the Western Demon Burial Plains must have reached the Northern Border as well. We were all at a loss, guessing that the source of the upheaval was in the Demon Burial Sands, but our strength was simply insufficient to explore it.]

Yu You: [Fortunately, Senior Chen happened to arrive.]

Yu You: [Senior Chen single-handedly contained the upheaval in the forbidden area this time. Furthermore, your Uncle Zhao Guang and I previously witnessed two Earth Realm cultivators chasing each other, but after some time, both disappeared. I suspect Senior Chen already possesses the ability to easily suppress and kill late-stage Earth Realm cultivators!]

After reading this, Yu Yu pondered for a moment and replied to Yu You...

Yu Yu: [Uncle, I've also received some news. I heard that the Yuan Yang Palace from the Boundless Sea, whose Yuan Yang Saint Son possesses Heavenly Realm cultivation, recently challenged Senior Chen Beixuan. For the Yuan Yang Saint Son to issue a challenge, I suspect... Senior Chen is already at the Heavenly Realm!]

After this message was sent, Yu You remained silent for a long time.

Perhaps they were also shocked by this news.

The first battle in the Heavenly Realm against the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit took place inside the Mystic Heaven Palace, which is located in the Northern Territory, attracting a lot of attention from the Northern Territory.

The people of the Western Frontier were also preoccupied with the upheavals in the Forbidden Zone at that time and didn't pay much attention to this side.

Therefore, upon hearing this news, Yu admitted that he was stunned.

"If it's the Heavenly Realm, then it makes sense. Only in this way could those two late-stage Earth Realm cultivators have disappeared in the blink of an eye..."

Thinking that he and Chen Beixuan had formed a good relationship using a token from Tianzhen City, Yu You felt that he had not only made a profit but also gained a lot!
When the time comes, I will use my status as a friend of Senior Chen to go out. Even if Grandmasters of the Earth Realm from other parts of Xuanzhou come to the Western Region, who will dare to provoke me easily?

Meanwhile, in Yu Yu's courtyard, Yu Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of Jiang Lingyue... "I've only ever seen one young man, Senior Chen... Could it be that Junior Sister Jiang's brother-in-law has another name, Chen Beixuan?!"

The idea had barely crossed her mind when Yu Yu dismissed it with amusement.

How can it be!

Senior Chen never mentioned that he had two other names.

Moreover, the fact that Jiang's brother-in-law could act as the mysterious person who crippled the Zhou family patriarch, a martial arts grandmaster, is already quite impressive.

He's at least at the late stage of a Grandmaster level.

As for the mortal realm, earth realm, and even the heaven realm... Yu Yu looked at them and felt that Jiang Shimei's brother-in-law really didn't seem like it.

...

The city where the Zhou family resides.

Upon suddenly hearing this news that was rapidly spreading throughout the Northern Territory, as well as the announcement from the Wuxiang Sect, many members of the Zhou family were stunned.

They had no idea about this at all!
Come to think of it, the fewer people who know about something so crucial, the better the secret can be kept.

However, right now these ordinary young people are completely dumbfounded.

How did the Zhou family, once a glorious and powerful family of grandmasters, become a destitute family despised by everyone in the Northern Territory after their ancestor disappeared?!
Of course, they wouldn't be considered truly destitute; compared to ordinary families, they still have advantages.

After all, besides the Zhou family patriarch, the Zhou family also has two other innate masters.

The Zhou family patriarch took one person with him to Wuxiang Mountain, leaving only one person in the clan. It wouldn't be a big problem for them to remain a Xiantian family.

The problem is, in the news that came out later!

They attempted to kidnap Jiang Lingyue, a newly promoted fifth-level alchemy master!
Once Master Jiang Lingyue begins to build her own network of connections... will those connections, in order to gain an advantage in front of Master Jiang, intentionally try to suppress the Zhou family?

The Zhou family, with only one remaining innate master, was completely unable to withstand these changes.

Therefore, the Zhou family still possesses the foundation of an innate family, but at most, it will fall into complete ruin within half a year.

Inside the Zhou family's main hall.

The Zhou family patriarch sat upright in his chair for a long time before finally letting out a heavy sigh.

"Alright, since this has already happened, there's no point in saying anything more. From today onwards, the Zhou family... shall be disbanded."

After he finished speaking, the Zhou family patriarch's originally upright posture immediately relaxed, as if he had suddenly lost all his energy and spirit.

The Zhou family elders, who had lived for over a hundred years, had no objections to this result and remained silent.

The fact that the Zhou family could still exist, and that so many of their members could survive, after offending a fifth-level alchemy master, is already a testament to how well they were treated.

On Mount Wuxiang.

Jiang Lingyue was carrying a rather large food box on her way back to the courtyard.

Not long ago, she happily bought several specialty dishes from the sect's canteen, intending to take them back for Lu Ye to try.

Meanwhile, in the dining hall, the disciples were marveling at how well he was considered a top genius in the sect!
Having just gone through such a dangerous situation, she immediately brought back so much food...

A seasoned foodie, yes. (End of Chapter)
