Chapter 789: Impermanence Killer

Earlier on the way, Zhou Nanwang and Zhou You had given a general introduction to the Zhou family's situation.

Originally, the Zhou family only had the main clan and many side branches, but since the rise of Zhou Nanwang, it was divided into two main branches, the East and West clans.

The Eastern Sect was the original main sect, while the Western Sect was the branch that Zhou Nanwang belonged to.

Although Zhou Nanwang only briefly mentioned the past event of dividing the two sects, Zhou You could guess that there must be a secret hidden in it.

The world only saw Zhou Nanwang as a great master, but Zhou You saw more. He was a member of a branch of the family that drifted to the north, and his ancestors were members of the tribe who were convicted and exiled.

It was not easy for Zhou Nanwang to get to his current position, and he even went through many hardships and obstacles.

They didn't go to the East Sect, but went straight back to the West Sect.

Zhou Nanwang was the ancestor of the Western Clan. When he arrived, the Zhou Western Clan's clan members knelt down within ten miles from his doorstep, including men, women, young and old, and even very old ladies and old men.

"Come with me!"

Zhou Nanwang held Zhou You in one hand and Zhu Qinghua in the other. As everyone knelt down to greet him, they slowly walked through the door and entered the main gate of the Zhou family's Western Sect. Shouts rang out from both sides, "Welcome back, old ancestor!"

The background and power of the Zhou family in Dijing amazed even Zhu Qinghua, who was used to seeing wealth and luxury.

She followed Zhou Nanwang closely and took the time to glance at Zhou You. She found that he was calm and composed. She thought that maybe it was the noble aura in his blood that made him so calm!
Zhou Nanwang took the two of them to meet the old lady of Xizong, who was his first wife.

"Old man, why did you bring irrelevant people here? Let me ask you, where is Gan'er?"

Zhou Nanwang’s first wife was a middle-aged woman with a dignified face, but she would never look people in the eye and would speak rudely to them as soon as they met.

Zhu Qinghua was afraid that Zhou You would get angry, so he reminded him in a low voice that this lady was a member of the clan who was married by the feudal lord and had an extraordinary noble status.

He is a relative of Lord Feng. No wonder. I have always heard that Lord Feng admires Zhou Nanwang, but I didn’t expect that even a girl from his clan would marry him.

"Don't ever mention that idiot again. Come and see my adopted son, Zhou Daqian. He will marry Qinghua soon and fulfill their engagement."

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows when she heard this, pointed at him and scolded, "You are such a ruthless person, what do you think my son is?"

"What a bullshit adopted son! You have so many sons of your own that you can't even count them all. Where did you get this bastard from? You..."

She couldn't catch her breath and staggered backwards. Immediately, several people rushed out to support her, calling her "mother".

These people are all Zhou Nanwang's sons, and they are all quite old, but none of them is very strong. They are all at the level of martial artists, and their muscles and bones are just weak, which is only enough for health preservation.

They persuaded my mother to stop and bowed to Zhou Nanwang, looking like mice seeing a cat.

Well, this great uncle is quite strict in managing the family!

After a long while, Mrs. Zhou recovered her breath and cried, "You are such a heartless person. You relied on my family to get rich, but now you have turned your back on me. You don't even look down on any of the sons I gave birth to for you, and you even want to bring people from outside into our home."

"Tell me, this so-called 'adopted son' of yours, which wild woman out there gave birth to him?"

Zhou Nanwangyue was not angry, and said to her calmly, "Don't make trouble, Daqian is the future head of the family I chose, and you will still rely on him in the future."

"I have arranged the marriage. As the mistress, you should be sensible. If you don't want to, you can just say you are sick and not go."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhou You and Zhu Qinghua and said, "Let's go!"

Zhu Qinghua did not forget to take Zhou You's hand and bowed solemnly to Mrs. Zhou before leaving.

Alas, the situation within the Zhou family is quite complicated. Zhou Nanwang and his wife obviously don't get along well.

After they left, Madam Zhou's eyes were filled with resentment, and she grabbed one of her sons and said, "Mu'er, your brother is afraid of death. The old man is cruel and obviously wants to replace him."

"I won't give up. I will tear off a piece of his flesh even if I die."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the direction you showed Zhou You and said, "Go hire someone to kill his adopted son." This sentence frightened her sons so much that they felt like they were struck by lightning and they couldn't recover for a long time.

She held her son, and Zhou Mu shrank back in fear, "Mother, I don't dare!"

"Why don't you dare? That time when you were jealous and hired the 'Impermanence Killer' to kill the legitimate son of the Du family in the Right Mansion, it was mother who covered it up for you."

Madam Zhou said viciously, "You have the killer's way, why don't you use it? Hire a killer to kill that bastard!"

"Mother, he is a strong martial arts expert and his price is not cheap."

Mr. Zhou took out a treasure box and said, "The money I have saved over the years is barely enough to hire someone to kill the old man, but it's more than enough to hire someone to kill a bastard."

She looked at Zhou Mu again and shook her head.

These sons are more useless than each other, and Zhou Gan is already the tallest among the short ones.

Zhou Mu's pronunciation is the same as 'Zhou Mu', and people placed great hopes on him when he was just born. But after he grew up, it is hard to describe what happened to him.

Zhou Mu left with the treasure box in his hand, and before leaving, he threatened his brothers to keep quiet and not disclose the matter.

He walked to a corner and opened the treasure box. He was so greedy at the sight of the various treasures inside that his mouth was watering. He calmed himself down and thought that he had spent a lot of money on hiring a killer, so this would be a good opportunity to enrich himself.

"Junior sister, are you used to staying in Dijing during this time?"

A man in a black and white gown spoke gently to the woman opposite him.

If someone familiar was present, they would definitely recognize the pretty girl in front of them as the 'Chang Pavilion Master' of the Qizhen Pavilion in Beixuanfu City.

Pavilion Master Chang smiled slightly, "It's OK, but the industry in the north can't be transferred for a while."

"The six states in the north all belong to Beixuan Zhu. It is not easy to extract a large amount of wealth from their territory."

The man said, "Even with the 'All-Containing' talisman, and the storage bag that Junior Sister brought back, there are still many real estates that are difficult to cash in."

"It's a pity for Qizhen Pavilion. It's the result of my hard work for many years."

Pavilion Master Chang sighed endlessly.

The man advised her, "We are a killer organization, and running an industry is just a sideline. It won't be a pity if it's lost!"

Suddenly, a subordinate came hurriedly outside. Their organization was known as the 'Impermanence Killers'. Everyone wore long robes and tall hats, and their nicknames were either 'Soul Chasers' or 'Soul Snatchers'.

"Grand Priest, the Zhou clan has sent a death notice, the target is... Zhou Daqian."

When Pavilion Master Chang heard this, she was slightly surprised, "Zhou Daqian, is there such a person in Dijing?"

The subordinate replied respectfully, "He is the adopted son that Grandmaster Zhou Nanwang brought back from outside. This is an internal family feud!"

The killer Wuchang has a lot of business and has received similar orders more than once. He has long understood the ins and outs of it. It is nothing more than fighting for family property and attacking competitors.

"Well, Junior Sister, is this someone you know?"

Pavilion Master Chang shook her head, "Probably not."

"Zhou Daqian, strong martial arts third level, condensed golden body."

"Well, the newcomer Kong Que has just broken through to the strong martial arts, so let him take the order to assassinate Zhou Daqian."

The man, who was also the chief of the Wuchang killer organization, had arranged this order without making a sound.
