Chapter 275 The Betrayer [Subscribe]

The Zhou family has added a new Purple Mansion cultivator.

When the news of Zhou Daoquan's successful opening of the Purple Mansion spread as the Zhou family sent out invitations, some families were happy while others were sad.

Families like the Wang family of Hongyao Valley, the Sun family of Jinfengling, and others who had close friendships with the Zhou family, although they were also extremely envious, they were mostly happy.

After all, the Zhou family has always been righteous in their actions. The stronger the Zhou family is, the more secure their allied families will feel.

However, those families that had little friendship with the Zhou family, or even had enmity with them, became extremely worried and even regretful after learning about this incident.

If they had known that the Zhou family had such amazing potential, they would have made friends with them at all costs and never made enemies with them!
But the reason why helping others in need is so precious is that there are very few people who would do such a thing.

Now the Zhou family has emerged from its difficulties and ushered in spring.

Thinking about making friends with the Zhou family at this time would at best be icing on the cake.

Even so, there are still many forces that decided to prepare expensive gifts to add luster to the Zhou family's event.

The icing on the cake may not necessarily make people remember it, but at least it will leave an impression.

If I need help from the Zhou family in the future, this will be considered a friendship.

And if you can't even do this little thing to add icing on the cake, then in the future you won't be able to ask for help from others even if you need it.

On the day of the celebration, the inside of Zhoujia Mountain Gate was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere. Festive red ribbons fluttered on the trees, and the bright red color was very eye-catching.

The Zhou family hasn't been so lively for a long time.

In order to make all the clan members happy together, Zhou Chun even used the family's public property to give each clan member twenty spirit coins as a red envelope.

Naturally, those ordinary Zhou family cultivators were not unhappy because they got a free reward because of Zhou Daoquan's Purple Mansion Celebration.

When they were carrying out the celebration tasks arranged by the family, everyone's face was filled with smiles.

When Wang Zhixiong came to the Zhou family on behalf of the Wang family of Hongyao Valley, he looked at the smiles on the faces of the Zhou family monks who were welcoming guests inside and outside the mountain gate, and he was secretly envious.

He hadn't seen such a smile from the heart on the faces of his own people for a long time.

Ever since the southern expedition killed several foundation-building elders and dozens of clansmen were lost in the beast tide, none of the remaining members of the Wang family have ever laughed happily again.

Although in the past few years, two members of the Wang family have successfully established their foundations thanks to the help of the Foundation Establishment Pills exchanged for military merits, but apart from those two people, the rest of the Wang family members can hardly be truly happy.

Wang Zhixiong originally thought that only the healing power of time could help those tribesmen forget their pain and get out of the haze.

But now it seems that there are other ways.

"Wang Zhixiong, the head of the Wang family of Hongyao Valley, would like to present a spiritual ginseng on behalf of the Wang family to congratulate Elder Zhou Daoquan on the opening of his purple palace cave and a long life of happiness and longevity."

On the Pagoda Peak, Wang Zhixiong respectfully bowed to Zhou Daoquan and congratulated him, presenting him with a gift.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you are too polite. The Wang family and my Zhou family have a friendship that has been through thick and thin. Fellow Daoist Wang, you are giving face to me by coming here to show your support. Why do you need to give me such a valuable gift?"

After Zhou Daoquan opened the gift box and took a look at it, he was slightly surprised, and hurriedly stood up and bowed in return.

It turned out that the spiritual ginseng presented by Wang Zhixiong was no ordinary one. It was a very rare six hundred year old red blood ginseng.

This red blood ginseng is a tonic elixir. The six hundred year old red blood ginseng can greatly replenish vital energy when taken raw, and is an excellent medicine for healing wounds.

To be honest, given the relationship between the Wang and Zhou families, Wang Zhixiong really didn't need to give such an expensive gift.

However, since the gift had already been given, there was no reason for Zhou Daoquan to return it, so he could only accept it with a smile.

Wang Zhixiong was naturally not the first person to give such a generous gift.

For this Zifu celebration, the Zhou family sent invitations to most of the immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou, and even sent special invitations to the Su family in Jiangzhou.

With invitations being sent out so widely, many forces that received the Zhou family's invitation for the first time also prepared valuable gifts.

So when the final celebration began, Zhou Chun counted and found that there were a total of seventeen immortal cultivation families who came to the Zhou family to attend the Zifu celebration.

And he remembered that the total number of invitations sent out was twenty-one.

In other words, only four companies did not send anyone to the scene.

Zhou Chun also silently kept in mind the names of the four families that did not send anyone.

This just proves the old saying that the host may not remember all the people who give gifts, but those who don't give gifts will definitely be remembered.

When the time was almost up, Zhou Chun walked to the stage, bowed to the guests and clan members who were already seated, and began to lead the speech: "Dear guests, dear clan members, we are gathered here today to celebrate the great progress of our Zhou family elder Zhou Daoquan's cultivation and the opening of his purple palace."

"Elder Zhou Daoquan is a meritorious elder of my Zhou family. He has made outstanding contributions to the family many times. He is a man of high moral character and is willing to help the younger generation. He has always been admired and appreciated by younger cultivators like me."

"Today is a great day for Elder Zhou Daoquan, and it is also a great day for our Zhou family. As the head of the Zhou family, Zhengchun, on behalf of myself and the family, wishes Elder Daoquan a smooth journey and great fortune."

After saying that, he bowed to Zhou Daoquan who was sitting at the top and gave a speech of congratulations.

With him taking the lead, the other guests also stood up in turn to congratulate Zhou Daoquan, and it was quite lively for a while.

After completing this necessary set of ritual procedures, everyone let go of their reservations, started drinking and eating, and truly enjoyed the celebration.

Many cultivators usually practice cultivation alone, and many choose to use fasting pills to replace their daily diet, so they do not have many opportunities to eat and drink together.

Therefore, when participating in the celebration, everyone will no longer restrain themselves, and will take advantage of this rare opportunity to relax and reward themselves.

After a hearty feast, the celebration came to a close in an atmosphere of great enjoyment for both the guests and the hosts.

But for the Zhou family, the end of the celebration is just the beginning of the family's rise.

With three purple palaces in one family, the Zhou family's soaring momentum has been fully demonstrated. Anyone who has paid attention to the Zhou family knows that as long as the Zhou family does not encounter any major setbacks and obstacles, it will definitely soar all the way.

Seeing that the Zhou family was getting better and better, beyond imagination, some people began to have ideas.

One day, Zhou Jiahe, the elder of the Zhou family, suddenly came to Zhou Chun and said that he wanted to take him to see someone.

Out of trust in the family elder, Zhou Chun did not ask any further questions and soon left the family gate with him and arrived at a small town a hundred miles away where the mortals of the Zhou family lived.

In a courtyard in this small town, Zhou Chun met another foundation-building cultivator.

She was an old woman with the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building. She had silver hair and fishtail-like wrinkles on her face. She looked quite old.

When Zhou Chun saw the old woman, he was also confused and didn't understand why Zhou Jiahe brought him to see this person.

Unexpectedly, after seeing him, the old woman only took a quick look and sighed softly, "Ah, it's true that being young is good. After decades, Xiao Chun'er still looks the same as he did back then, still so young and handsome!"

From what she said, it was obvious that she knew Zhou Chun.

But Zhou Chun looked at the old woman and really couldn't remember when he had met her before.

So he could only look at Zhou Jiahe beside him and asked, "Thirteenth Aunt, who is this..."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiahe was slightly stunned. Then, instead of rushing to answer him, he quickly explained to the old woman who was a little embarrassed after being rejected, "Don't be surprised, Aunt Yu. When we separated, Zhengchun was still young and didn't see you very often."

Then he sent a voice message to Zhou Chun, "This is Aunt Zhou Yu. She aged so quickly because she used a forbidden technique that cost her lifespan."

Aunt Zhou Yu?

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with realization, and he instantly remembered the old woman's origins.

It turned out that this silver-haired old woman was also a member of the Zhou family. However, when the Zhou family split up, she went to the Spirit Beast Villa with her Taoist partner.

According to seniority, this silver-haired old woman is of the same generation as Zhou Daoyi and is a few years older than Zhou Daoquan.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun had a rough idea of ​​the silver-haired old woman's intention in inviting him here to meet her through Zhou Jiahe.

He immediately bowed to the silver-haired old woman and said, "It turns out to be my great aunt. I was disrespectful just now. I apologize to you."

Seeing this, the silver-haired old woman's embarrassment was finally relieved, and she immediately smiled and replied: "Xiao Chun'er, you are too polite. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. We haven't seen each other for decades, so it's normal that you can't remember it for a while."

"Thank you for your understanding, Grandma. But if you want to see me, why don't you go inside the Zhou family mountain gate? If the senior elders knew that Grandma was coming, they would surely be happy to come out and meet her!"

Zhou Chun looked at the silver-haired old woman in front of him and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

Hearing his words, the smile on the silver-haired old woman's face suddenly froze, and her expression became very unnatural.

She couldn't help but look at Zhou Jiahe, but saw that Zhou Jiahe had lowered his head slightly, avoiding her gaze.

Obviously, helping her invite Zhou Chun out was the limit of what Zhou Jiahe could do.

This made her sigh in her heart.

Once upon a time, she was Zhou Jiahe's closest elder, but now they haven't been in touch for decades. The girl who always followed her and called her aunt is now avoiding her as much as possible.

But even though she sighed, she knew that times were different now and she no longer had the capital to act like an elder.

If I continue to act like an elder, I'm afraid this last bit of affection will fade away.

Therefore, after adjusting her mentality a little, she looked at Zhou Chun and said slowly: "Xiao Chun'er, you are a smart child, otherwise Daoyi and the others would not have chosen you to be the patriarch of the Zhou family. I think you already know why I invited you to meet here."

"That's right. Now it seems that we did something wrong when we split up the family. Senior Yu's idea is too wishful thinking and there is no possibility of it being realized!"

"Now that Senior Yu is recuperating from his injuries, the power of Spirit Beast Villa has fallen into the hands of Xiao Lingyan and her people. All the expenses of us old Zhou family members have been deliberately cut and deducted. All those who do not obey them are suppressed and targeted. Life is getting worse day by day and life is miserable!"

Having said this, her face turned bitter, and she couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said to herself, "I know that if I say this now, Xiao Chun'er, you won't have any sympathy after hearing it. You will even laugh at us for what we deserve and say that we deserved it!"

"Of course, the way we are now is indeed our own fault, and we can't blame anyone else!"

“But no matter what, Zhou family cultivators like me all have Zhou family blood flowing in our veins. We have never forgotten our origins or our ancestors!”

At this point, her face suddenly became serious. She looked at Zhou Chun solemnly and said in a deep voice, "I and others are willing to spend the rest of our lives to make up for the mistakes of the past, but my Zhou family's things must not be allowed to be ruined by those outsiders!"

"Xiao Chun'er, now that you are the head of the Zhou family, you have the responsibility and obligation to protect the things that our ancestors left to us, the younger generations. Don't let the treasures left by our ancestors fall into the hands of outsiders and be ruined by them!"

At the end, the words of the silver-haired old woman were powerful and full of indignation.

Obviously, for those former Zhou family cultivators, it was a very uncomfortable feeling to see those treasures that once belonged to the Zhou family being occupied by outsiders while they themselves were not allowed to use them.

But now they no longer have the strength to take those things back on their own, so they can only come to the Jiufengling Zhou family for help, hoping that the Zhou family can help them take those things back.

But just as the silver-haired old woman had said self-deprecatingly before, their current situation was all their own fault.

History will remember everything. All the cultivators of the Zhou family in Jiufengling will never forget their betrayal of the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun will never forget it either.

So even though what she said was very sensational, Zhou Chun was not moved at all at this time.

He just looked at her calmly and said, "Grandma, you probably misunderstood something. I am the patriarch of the Zhou family, but I am only the patriarch of the Jiufengling Zhou family. You should go to Senior Yu or Zhou Zhenkun for the matters of the Spirit Beast Villa. There is no reason for you to come to me!"

Unexpectedly, his words seemed to have triggered something, and the silver-haired old woman immediately became furious and yelled, "Zhou Zhenkun has forgotten his roots and has been together with that bitch Xiao Lingyan for a long time. Now he is the most ruthless in bullying us. We all wish we could eat his flesh and drink his blood!"

After cursing for a while, perhaps realizing that it was of no use, the silver-haired old woman quickly regained her senses.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun sincerely and said, "We were wrong in the past, but now we have realized our mistakes and want to do something to make up for our mistakes. Xiao Chun, please help us to ask Uncle Mingde, Daoyi, Daoquan and others for mercy. Ask them to give us a chance to make a new start!"
