In the family hall, all the senior members of the Zhang family gathered here. Zhang Chentian sat on the main seat with his eyes closed, getting familiar with the change of his identity.

He knew very well that from now on, he would be the head of the Zhang family and would have to shoulder the responsibilities and mission of the entire family.

Soon, Zhang Chentian opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air, looked at the elders below, and the hall master said:

"Grandpa, fellow elders, do you have any other suggestions regarding my reforms to the family and the selection of elders?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent, seemingly thinking about something.

After a while, Zhang Zongyu spoke first, "Master, we have no objection to Chen Guang, Chen Wu, Chen Hu, Yi Hao, and Yi Sheng being promoted to elders."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the hall.

Afterwards, Zhang Chongpeng, Zhang Zongyan and other veterans also nodded, expressing their agreement with Zhang Zongyu's statement.

Hearing Zhang Zongyu's words, Zhang Chentian nodded, looked at everyone and ordered:

"This clan competition has concluded successfully. Next, I will lead some of my clan members to expand into the Star Sea using Nanshui City as a base."

He swept his eyes over everyone present, his expression firm and resolute. Then he continued:

“This time, the ancestor, father, mother, sixth uncle, Chen Guang, Chen Wu, and Chen Hu will all be going, as well as some clansmen who performed well in the competition.

They already have a certain level of self-defense power, and it's time to let them go out and gain some experience."

His voice revealed his trust and expectations for these people.

He knew that only by going through hardships could he grow faster and become a truly strong person.

Then he added: "As for the cities in our fiefdom, although they are not the main targets of our family's development, we still need to send people to guard them.

We can just send some cultivators above the Qi Condensation Realm. I believe that after seeing the strength of our Zhang family, those local forces will no longer dare to have any evil intentions."

After saying this, he swept his eyes across the audience again, as if telling everyone that the Zhang family was ready to face all challenges.

Hearing Zhang Chentian's words, Zhang Zongyu frowned slightly and said with a slightly worried tone:

"According to what you said, the family's future focus will be on developing in the Starry Sea. So, Cangling Mountain..."

Having said this, Zhang Zongyu stopped talking, but the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.

He knew very well that the development of the family required weighing the pros and cons. If the focus was entirely on the Star Sea, then Cangling Mountain would inevitably be affected.

But he also knew that Zhang Chentian must understand what he meant, so he didn't say much.

At the same time, the other elders also turned their eyes to Zhang Chentian, their eyes full of expectation and confusion.

They have deep feelings for their ancestral land of Cangling Mountain. After all, it carries the family's history and heritage.

Zhang Zongyu's question is exactly the question in their hearts.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Chentian smiled slightly and explained confidently:

"Don't worry, everyone. We will not give up on Cangling Mountain. Instead, we will give it the same level of attention.

This place is close to the Sunset Forest and the mysterious place called the Abyss, and has huge development potential in the future.

In addition, this is also the family's ancestral land, and all clan members with talent for cultivation will be trained here in the future.

Therefore, we must quickly complete the upgrade of Cangling Mountain's spiritual veins. After I leave, all affairs here will be handed over to Grandpa to manage."

Hearing this, Zhang Zongyu and several elders also smiled.

"Follow the orders of the Patriarch!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Chentian said with satisfaction:

"Alright! Since everyone agrees with me, the family will develop in this direction from now on. As for the other details, I'll leave it to you to perfect."

……

After discussing for a while, Zhang Chentian’s first meeting as the head of the family ended.

After the end, Zhang Chentian walked out of the hall and slowly walked towards Xuantian Villa.

When he walked to Xuantian Villa, he saw a familiar figure lying in the yard basking in the sun.

"noob!"

Zhang Chen shouted excitedly, rushed over, hugged Xiaobai's head tightly, his joy was beyond words.

"Where have you been all these days? You haven't been back for such a long time, I was so worried! Moreover, your cultivation has actually broken through again! Didn't you just break through to the middle stage of the fourth level?"

Faced with Zhang Chen's barrage of questions, Xiaobai widened his eyes and looked at him blankly, seeming to be completely at a loss.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Chen was so excited. After all, he and Xiaobai hadn’t seen each other for a whole year.

The joy of reunion made it difficult for him to suppress his inner emotions, so his reaction was so intense.

"Brother Tian, ​​why do you ask so many questions? Aren't you happy that Xiaobai has made a breakthrough?"

Xia Aoxue looked at Zhang Chentian, who was looking excited, and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

Hearing Xia Aoxue's laughter, Zhang Chentian finally realized that he was too excited.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then gently stroked Xiaobai's head and said with a smile:

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I really missed Xiaobai so much. You know, it's been a whole year since I left!

If I hadn't been able to sense through the contract that it was not in danger, and if I hadn't had some things to deal with, I would have rushed to find it."

As Zhang Chentian spoke, he smiled happily.

After all, to him, Xiaobai is not just a pet, but also a close partner and friend.

"Roar! (Boss, I went to the middle zone of Sunset Forest. The monsters on the edge are too weak to train me at all!)"

Xiaobai roared softly and explained to Zhang Chentian why it had been away for so long.

"You're taking too much risk! There are many fifth- and even sixth-level monsters in the middle zone of Sunset. If you encounter them, you won't even be able to run away!"

Hearing Xiaobai's words, Zhang Chentian scolded.

"Okay, stop talking about Xiaobai. Isn't he back safely?"

Seeing Zhang Chentian scolding Xiaobai, Xia Aoxue couldn't help but speak out.

"Humph! I'll spare you this time for Xue'er's sake!"

Zhang Chentian said in a cold voice.

"Hoo! (Thank you, Big Sister)"

Seeing Xia Aoxue helping him out, Xiaobai looked at her and shouted with gratitude.

"Heh~ You're welcome."

Xia Aoxue walked up and touched Xiaobai's head, speaking softly.

Because she also has a contracted monster, she can roughly understand what Xiaobai means.
