The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

"Second uncle, why have I never seen my uncle since I was a child? Has he not been in the family for all these years?" Zhang Chentian looked at Zhang Zongyan and asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongyan looked up at the sky, sighed deeply, and fell into reminiscence. He slowly said, "Fifty-six years ago, your uncle awakened a Xuan-level, upper-grade martial bone. His talent was much better than your father's. At that time, people from the Wei family and the Guiyuan sect were hiding in the dark."

"So, his talent was exposed. At that time, our Zhang family only had three people in the Condensation Realm, and the highest level was only in the late Condensation Realm. We felt that we couldn't protect your uncle, so we let him join the fourth-grade Yuanwu Sect thousands of miles away."

"Only in this way will it be beneficial to him and the family."

There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in Zhang Zongyan's voice. He continued to tell the story with tears in his eyes.

"At that time, our family was facing tremendous pressure and threats. To protect your uncle and for the future of our family, we made this difficult decision."

Having said this, Zhang Zongyan paused, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then continued:

"More than a decade had passed, and the family hadn't heard anything about Yiwei. They were extremely anxious, so they sent people to Yuanwu Gate to inquire about him.

However, when the people sent by the family arrived at Yuanwu Sect, they learned a shocking fact from an outer sect elder - Yiwei had disappeared three years after joining the sect. No one knew where he went, and he was no longer a disciple of Yuanwu Sect.

Zhang Zongyan's voice gradually became lower.

He continued: “We didn’t give up after hearing the news.

Afterwards, the family sent many people to search for Yiwei's whereabouts, but to no avail."

Zhang Chentian was infected by Zhang Zongyan's eyes and couldn't help asking: "Since uncle is still alive, why don't you return to the family?"

Zhang Zongyan sighed deeply and replied, "I've also asked Chen Ting the same question.

According to him, he and Chen Tao rarely saw their parents since they were young. Their family moved frequently and lived a wandering life.

Normally, they are taken care of by the family's servants and housekeepers, and their training is guided by a mysterious middle-aged bald man. "Speaking of this, Zhang Zongyan frowned, as if thinking about something important.

"But they left after sending them to the vicinity of Cangling Mountain. We couldn't find any trace of them. You were already on your way to the border battlefield at the time, so you didn't know about this. Nothing happened afterwards, so you didn't mention it again."

Hearing this, Zhang Chentian fell into deep thought. After a moment's reflection, he slowly spoke, "It seems that Uncle has run into some troubles, and these troubles are beyond the family's ability to resolve. He also doesn't want his own problems to affect the family's development."

Zhang Zongyan nodded in agreement: "We think so too."

Zhang Chentian smiled faintly and consoled him, "You don't need to overthink this matter. We can deal with any problem we encounter. Just make sure that Chen Ting and Chen Tao are indeed your uncle's children."

Zhang Zongyan answered confidently: "The results of the bloodline spirit bead test, combined with the token that Chen Ting carried, are sufficient to confirm their identities."

At this moment, Zhang Zongyan suddenly seemed to remember something, patted his head, and said, "Oh right, Tian'er, you must have important matters to deal with when you return to the clan, right? Go and do your own things, there's no need to stay here and chat with an old man like me."

Zhang Chentian responded with a smile: "Yes, there is indeed a very important matter that needs to be handled. Then I won't bother you for now." After that, he bowed to Zhang Zongyan and said goodbye, then rushed towards his grandfather Zhang Zongyu's residence.

Although he is now the patriarch, he is very respectful to the elders of the family and naturally does not put on airs.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Zhang Chentian pushed open the door, a smile on his face, and walked briskly to his grandfather who was meditating with his eyes closed, and said softly.

When Zhang Zongyu heard his grandson's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of kindness and joy.

He looked at Zhang Chentian in front of him with a smile and said, "Haha, Tian'er, why did you come back so soon this time? And where's Xiaoxue? Why didn't she come back with you?"

As Zhang Zongyu spoke, he stood up with a puzzled expression on his face.

Zhang Chentian walked in without any courtesy. He went straight to the table, picked up the third-level spiritual tea that his grandfather had just brewed, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he smacked his lips, as if he was not satisfied with the taste of the tea, and gently placed the cup back on the table, shaking his head and saying:

"Grandpa, your tea isn't very good. It has no flavor at all and doesn't taste special. It can only quench my thirst."

Looking at Zhang Chentian's disgusted look, Zhang Zongyu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You little bastard, who drinks tea like you? How can you taste the fragrance of tea if you guzzle it like this? It's such a waste of my good tea!" Zhang Zongyu shook his head helplessly.

"Also, this is a fourth-order, lower-grade Heavenly Spiritual Tea. It has the effects of strengthening the body, nourishing the essence, clearing the mind and improving eyesight. It's very expensive. Your grandfather spent a lot of money to buy it from the Cui family, a well-established fourth-grade family in Fengyun City. And you kid actually said you didn't feel anything!"

Zhang Chentian quickly apologized with a smile: "Hehe, grandpa is right, it's my grandson's problem."

Zhang Zongyu glared at Zhang Chentian unhappily, then asked, "You came back alone this time, did something happen?"

Zhang Chentian nodded and said, "Grandpa, a lot has happened this year. Let me tell you in detail..." Then Zhang Chentian told Zhang Zongyu everything that happened this year, including the Meng family and the secret realm.

As for the Nine Profound Star Tower, Zhang Chentian did not mention it. He planned to tell the family leaders when he broke through the King Realm. At that time, he would be almost invincible in the area around the Linyue Dynasty.

Zhang Chenguang and the other two are practicing in the Jiuxuan Star Tower. By then, they should be able to break through the spiritual realm and deal with most of the dangers in this area without the need for the small tower to take action.

After listening to Zhang Chentian's narration, Zhang Zongyu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully:

"I've heard a little bit about the secret realm appearing in Nanshui City, but I didn't expect so many fifth-grade forces to go there."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zongyu looked at Zhang Chentian and said firmly:

"Since you need an earth-grade spiritual weapon, just go to the family treasury and get it. You are the patriarch now, and everyone in the family will follow you, no matter whether what you do is right or wrong!" His voice was full of trust and support, as if he had handed the fate of the entire family into Zhang Chentian's hands.

Hearing his grandfather's words, Zhang Chentian felt warm in his heart. He nodded solemnly to show that he understood.

He knew that he was shouldering the family's expectations, and the trust of his grandfather and the clan members made him feel even more responsible.

He was determined to live up to this trust, work hard to improve his strength, and lead the family to become stronger.
