Chapter 1115 Restoring the Ancestral Hall
"By you?"

Zhou Feixing scolded, "Don't think that just because you were lucky enough to break through to the Earth Sect, you can be so arrogant."

"The ancestral hall is the foundation of the family, not a place for you to experiment with casually. Zhou Nanwang must give an explanation for this matter!"

Although Zhou Tianyuan didn't speak, his attitude was clear: Zhou You must take responsibility for damaging the ancestral hall space, and remedial measures are necessary. In addition, he will have to pay a certain price.

It involves the very foundation of the family, especially the ancestral hall space, and even newly promoted Earth Sect members cannot be exempted.

"You're all absolutely certain that I can't fix it!"

Zhou You smiled faintly, took half a step forward, and the ground trembled slightly, startling the ants in the corner who hurriedly shrank back and burrowed into the ground.

In an instant, the air around them solidified like concrete, encasing Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing within it.

Both of them are members of the Human Sect, and not just any ordinary Human Sect members; they are at the peak of their cultivation and could break through to the Earth Sect level at any moment.

Although they are not as exceptionally talented as Zhou Nanwang, who had grasped the rudiments of fist intent ahead of time, these two are still top-tier in the Human Sect level and have some knowledge of the Earth Sect's techniques.

I assumed Zhou You, having just advanced to the Earth Sect, wouldn't possess much ability, but I never expected...

"Immobilized!"

Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing exchanged glances, their eyes filled with horror. This was no longer the level of someone who had just entered the Earth Sect. Zhou You had calmly conjured space to trap the two of them, manipulating them at will.

Looking around, the people from the Eastern Sect who had come with them looked bewildered, clearly in a normal state of free movement.

In other words, Zhou You trapped the two of them without affecting the surrounding environment at all, demonstrating an astonishing level of spatial control.

The elderly master standing to the side glared at him, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.

He was extremely pleased with himself. Just a moment ago, he had been cornered by Dong Zong's aggressive manner, but now he had triumphantly mounted his horse.

The sound of wind reached their ears, indicating that outsiders had noticed something amiss and come to investigate.

The person at the head was none other than a member of the Earth Sect. He frowned as he looked at the scene in the West Sect courtyard and asked, "Elder Zhou, wasn't it you who broke through to the Earth Sect?"

The newcomer was none other than Ming Wangqiu, the young master of the Great Gentleman and the grandmaster of the Ming family, the foremost family of the Earth Sect.

He was appointed by the lord as the junior tutor of the Grand Master and devoted a lot of effort to the Grand Master. However, after the Putuo Prefecture incident, he became disheartened, broke with the lord, and returned to his family.

Ming Wangqiu and the old master were from the same era and were quite familiar with each other. Before he came, he had already noticed that someone in the Western Branch of the Zhou Clan had broken through to the Earth Sect, and he thought it was the old master who had accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills.

The results of it……

"It is not me, but my family's heir, Lord Zhou Daqian of Nanchen."

The venerable master smiled demurely and pointed in the direction of Zhou You.

Ming Wangqiu was astonished to hear this. It turned out that the younger generation had surpassed the younger generation. The Zhou family's western branch had produced two generations of Earthly Masters. The feng shui was excellent!
However, when he saw Zhou You imprisoning Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing, he couldn't help but frown. Noble families place great importance on seniority and hierarchy.

Although Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing are from the Eastern Sect, they are Zhou You's elders in terms of seniority, so this action is an act of insubordination.

"Zhou Daqian, release him first!"

Ming Wangqiu said calmly.

Zhou You was somewhat displeased upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, this is a family matter. Please, Grandmaster, step aside."

The implication is that since you've come uninvited, you shouldn't interfere.

This led to a conflict.

Ming Wangqiu raised his hand as if to push open a door, his target clearly the space that trapped Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing.

He didn't speak, but showed his attitude through his actions. This Ming family grandmaster was extremely senior. Before Zhou Nanwang broke through to the grandmaster level, he was already a Earth Sect master. His understanding and control of space were unmatched by other Earth Sect masters.

They thought Zhou You had just broken through and his skills were still shallow, so they thought he could easily break through the opponent's methods.

As a result, the moment he touched the solidified space, it was like hitting a copper wall or an iron barrier, causing his finger bones to ache terribly.

"what?"

Ming Wangqiu looked horrified, "You..."

At this moment, the venerable Grandmaster stepped in to smooth things over, "Mingzong, don't misunderstand. These two are a bit agitated. Daqian meant no harm; he was just advising them not to act impulsively!"

He winked at Zhou You, "Hurry up and let go of these two... elders!"

Zhou You remained calm. The world he saw was different from everyone else's. Two small cauldrons were inverted, covering Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing. It was these very objects that had just caused Ming Wangqiu's hand to ache so much.

After advancing to the Earth Sect, he gained a unique ability unlike any other Earth Sect member: to transform spatial crystals into cauldron patterns, weaving them into the outline of the Nine Cauldrons.

This move was extremely effective, even the veteran player Zongming Wangqiu couldn't break through it.

"Thank you, Mingzong. Now that you're here, please uphold justice. Zhou Daqian, he..."

Zhou Tianyuan was full of complaints and was about to vent to Ming Wangqiu when suddenly a loud rumbling sound filled his ears...

A large amount of light emanated from Zhou You's palm, flowing like water towards the cracks in the ancestral hall space.

Ming Wangqiu noticed the gap in the ancestral hall and asked, "Did he do this?"

So that's how it is. He finally understood the root cause of the conflict between the Eastern and Western sects today.

If Zhou You really damaged the ancestral hall space, that would be a serious crime, and even the local ancestral temple would be punished.

Hmm, look at Zhou Daqian's behavior, he's actually trying to repair the broken gap, but it's not that easy.

Uh?
A strange thing happened.

Although the shape of the light emanating from Zhou You's palm was indistinct, it resembled needle and thread, causing the cracks in the ancestral hall space to close towards the center, with the cracks gradually shortening and disappearing...

Others only saw this scene, but Ming Wangqiu saw much more.

As a member of the Earth Sect, he has a deeper understanding of space and can see more details that others cannot.

Zhou You not only repaired the gaps, but also went a step further, strengthening the ancestral hall space with his own control over the space.

Thinking of the fruitless attempt just now, Ming Wangqiu felt a chill. If Zhou You had succeeded, wouldn't the Zhou family's ancestral hall space have been further expanded, narrowing the gap with the Ming family?

The Ming family is known as the number one family in the capital, and they are very confident because the Ming family has produced 3 Heavenly Ancestors and 17 Earthly Ancestors in the past generations. With each of these ancestors reinforcing the ancestral hall, the space has become so solid that even a Martial Saint could not break through it.

The ancestral hall of the Zhou family was originally only of average to above-average quality. Now, with Zhou Daqian's reinforcement, and with Zhou Nanwang adding another layer of reinforcement after his term ends and he returns to the capital, it will be even more impressive.

"Well done, Zhou Daqian!"

Ming Wangqiu cupped his hands to Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing, saying, "I've been nosy. Farewell!"

Having said that, he turned and left without waiting for either of them to stop him.

Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing were somewhat embarrassed. Ming Wangqiu had stood up for them, but it ended in an awkward situation with no agreement.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the ancestral hall space, after being repaired by Zhou You, has not been weakened, but rather made more solid.

what does this mean?
This means that Zhou You not only achieved "redemption through meritorious service," but his merits outweighed his demerits, and they could no longer use this as an excuse to attack him.
