Chapter 1073 Uproar
The military family to which the governor of Maijing Prefecture belongs has a history far shorter than that of the Mu family, but their ancestors also followed the Martial Saint of Ten Thousand Formations in conquering the world.

Zhou You initially used only two of the Nine Cauldrons Laws to revisit the scenes, which were nothing more than the Martial Family Ancestor rising from humble beginnings to follow the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint, and even participating in the experiment of the 'Perfect Man'.

The ancestors of the samurai family also contributed to the expulsion of the failed test subjects to the North.

Later, the experiment of the sage was declared a failure, but many followers were convinced that the direction was wrong and that there was still hope if they continued to persist.

This group was the prototype of racial religion.

With the Martial Saint of All Manifestations relinquishing control, the group's faith was ingrained, and they moved from the ground to the shadows to continue their experiments.

When the Martial Saint of Myriad Manifestations learned of this, he ordered them not to cause any more trouble, or he would surely have a way to punish them.

The ancestors of the Wu family initially participated in the matter, but seeing no results for a long time, they gradually lost contact with the Human Race Cult and focused on developing the family's strength, which continues to this day.

If that's all there is to it, then Zhou You's elaborate efforts to seize the clan cauldron have not yielded significant results.

It wasn't until Zhou You used the remaining four Nine Cauldrons Laws, which overlapped with each other, that he was able to sort out the residual information entangled by various elements of space and time, and trace back to the era of the Wu family ancestors through the blood ties of the clan cauldrons.

Furthermore, by examining the connection between the ancestors of the Wu family and the Martial Saint of All Things in that era, we can glimpse the true secrets buried in the long river of history.

The Myriad Manifestations Martial Saints were not, as later generations imagined, those who caused great calamity and then departed from the world, but rather those who made many arrangements.

"Shishen Sect, Wanxiang Seal."

Zhou You suddenly remembered a rumor that the Shishen Sect had a lineage of the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saints hidden within it, which he had assumed were descendants of martial arts masters.

In retrospect, it is a secret seal containing the essence of his being.

Half of the "Myriad Manifestations Chapter" fell into the hands of the Witch Clan, and the other half was in the hands of the Human Race Cult. These are the ultimate techniques of the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint.

But what is the Myriad Manifestations Seal?

Based on the inside information gleaned from the tea in the clan's cauldron, this secret seal contains a trump card to counter the Enchantress.

Hmm, it seems necessary to make a trip to the Temple of Buddha!
I've heard that the most mysterious of the five temples of the Buddhist religion is the Heavenly Temple, which is located in the center and corresponds to the Earthly Capital. It is hidden in a corner of the Earthly Capital.

The exact location of the Heavenly Palace has remained unknown since ancient times. It is only known that it was roughly located near the capital city, and no further than the eight prefectures of Zhili.

Zhou You pondered for a long time before putting away the clan cauldron. Just then, Zhu Ruoxuan stepped forward quickly.

"My lord, something terrible has happened! The governor of Maijing Prefecture has been wiped out!"

After surviving the last great battle and thwarting the ambush and assassination attempt by the eldest son of the governor of Jingzhou, they traveled without stopping, bypassing the location of the governor's residence, and were only a short distance away from leaving the country.

However, news also spread that the governor of Maijing Prefecture had been wiped out by the demonic warlord.

The trigger for this incident was that the governor of Maijing Prefecture sent his eldest son to assassinate Zhou Daqian, the heir of the Zhou family's western branch.

After the incident, the feudal lords and the aristocratic families blamed each other, each trying to pin the blame on the other.

The ancient families insisted that they were the victims, claiming that the governor of Jingzhou was a confidant of the feudal lord. In order to prevent the conference from being held, they even went so far as to attack Zhou Daqian and his party who were on their way to the capital, but failed and were killed.

The governor of Maijing Prefecture deserved his punishment for this crime.

The feudal lords seized a point and launched a fierce attack. You all claim to be innocent. Why was it that the Barbarian Hammer and the Fierce Demon Spear joined forces to kill the Governor of Jingzhou and wipe out the Jie Mansion and the entire Wu family?
The Demon Soldier Village is no good place. If aristocratic families collude with it, their reputation will plummet, greatly diminishing the legitimacy of their current campaign to depose the feudal lords, and giving the feudal lords' forces a chance to turn the tide.

But the ancient families had another reason.

When the governor's son of the Mirror State launched a sneak attack, the Fiend Spear also made its move, attacking Zhou Daqian indiscriminately without any collusion.

This shows that the demon soldiers are like mad dogs, refusing to help either side, and only capable of the cruelty and madness to completely destroy everything.

The feudal lords claimed that it was all an act to distance themselves; otherwise, why was Zhou Daqian still alive when the eldest son of the governor of Maijing Prefecture was dead? That's because Zhou Daqian wielded the Half-Saint Yin Blade, giving him the power to protect himself!

The two sides engaged in a war of words, exchanging barbs and refusing to back down.

On Zhou You's side, as the cause of the incident, he was also visited by the ancient people's clan, and everyone agreed to give a unified account.

That's right. The world is vast, but reason is paramount, and one's stance is even more important than reason.

Regardless of whether anyone colluded with the demonic soldiers, the ancient people's family refused to admit it and even tried to shift the blame onto the other party.

It is said that the governor of Jingzhou invited a wolf into the house, colluding with demon soldiers in an attempt to turn the tide, but it all backfired.

Yes, Zhou Daqian was a victim from beginning to end. He killed in self-defense and was not only innocent, but also meritorious.

"My lord, the second son, Jian, has come to visit, and with him is... the governor!"

Having just seen off an ally that day, Zhu Ruoxuan hurried inside to report that another guest had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Zhou You learned that the second son, Jian, was a prized disciple of the Tiannan Divine Sword, and the governor accompanying him was from one of the eight directly governed prefectures, and was once a trusted and important minister of the feudal lord.

The guests visiting this time have unclear stances; it's unknown whether they are friends or foes!

Tiannan Divine Sword holds a transcendent position; once he nods in agreement, the overall situation is already set. However, he has remained silent since the internal strife began.

This is the source of turmoil.

It should be noted that the disciples of the Tiannan Divine Sword Sect come from various powerful families and forces. Even a certain unfavored gentleman of the Fengjun Sect has become a disciple of the sect. The relationships between various allies and enemies are intricate and complex.

Apart from the Heavenly Sword of the South, no one else had the prestige to suppress these complex interpersonal relationships.

His silence caused almost all his disciples to split up, clashing and trying to win each other over, creating complete chaos.

Only a few core disciples remained loyal to the Tiannan Divine Sword, refusing to take sides or express any opinion. They remained aloof and detached from worldly affairs.

Second Son Sword is one of them.

When the second son, Jian, and the governor of the neighboring state arrived, Zhou You greeted them, "Greetings, um, senior brother!"

I almost forgot that I also have another identity: one of the disciples of the Tiannan Divine Sword.

The second son, Jian, smiled and nodded. "Lord Nanchen, there's no need for such formalities. We've come today to inquire about some matters."

Zhou You addressed him as Senior Brother, but the second son, Jian, referred to him as Lord Nanchen. Their attitude was clear: they did not consider him one of their own.

In the eyes of these true disciples, Zhou You was still classified as a member of aristocratic families who valued united front work.

No wonder, although Zhou You had become an apprentice, he had never been known for his swordsmanship. His recent rise to fame was due to his use of the Half-Saint Yin Blade to defeat his enemies.

Zhou You smiled and didn't take it to heart.

He looked at the governor next door with suspicion. Was the second son, Jian, going to take sides? He brought people over to question him.

"Don't misunderstand, Lord Nanchen. I just want to know, when the Demon Spear attacked you and the eldest son of the Governor of Maijing Prefecture, did you mention who instructed you?"

The governor from next door was quite polite, clearly indicating that he did not want to clash with Zhou You due to the tense situation.

He also explained that he had invited the second son, Jian, to act as an intermediary. Without this connection, Zhou You might not have been willing to meet him, since he was branded as part of the feudal lord faction.

At the time of the massacre of the governor of Jingzhou, relations between the two sides were more tense than ever before, and anything could happen!
