The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

Time flies, and three months passed in a flash.

Cangling Mountain!

"Deputy clan leader, after investigation, the evil cultivators who have been active in the seven southwestern cities recently may be from the Xueyou Pavilion!" A man in black in the hall said to the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat.

This person is Zhang Zongyu.

At this moment, he had a head of black hair mixed with a few strands of silver, casually tied behind his head. He had an upright but low-key figure, dressed in a dark robe, and sat there quietly listening to what the secret guard leader Zhang Ying said.

Zhang Zongyu frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "Blood Nether Pavilion?"

Zhang Zongyu naturally knew about the Xueyou Pavilion. This force was a well-known eighth-grade force in the Beili Territory five thousand years ago.

The martial arts they practiced was the lower grade of the Heavenly Rank - Blood Demonic Art. This martial art was extremely vicious and enhanced their own power by sucking the blood and souls of others.

Although this technique can quickly improve one's cultivation, it will bring great side effects and negative effects to the user.

People who use this kind of skills often become cruel, cold-blooded, and even lose their humanity.

Therefore, this kind of practice is regarded as a heresy and is not tolerated by orthodoxy.

However, the Xueyou Pavilion does not care about these. They believe that only the strong can survive, and the Blood Evil Magic is the key to making them strong.

So they began to look for practitioners everywhere and incorporate them into their own organization.

At the same time, they continued to expand their sphere of influence, trying to control the entire Beili Territory in order to meet their own cultivation needs.

However, due to the large-scale deaths caused, the so-called righteous sects joined forces to deal with them, which made the powerful Xueyou Pavilion a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

In no more than fifty years, the Xueyou Pavilion was destroyed and disappeared in the long river of history. However, it was unexpected that the shadow of the Xueyou Pavilion was discovered again now.

"I never thought that the Xueyou Pavilion, which was destroyed almost five thousand years ago, would be revived. Has the imperial court made any arrangements for this matter?" Zhang Zongyu asked.

"To the deputy clan leader, since the presence of the Blood Nether Pavilion in the Linyue Dynasty, those evil cultivators who were originally scattered across the country and acting independently seem to have found an organization and support, and are gradually uniting.

At the same time, the imperial court has also dispatched the Silver Tiger Guard to launch a comprehensive search operation. Zhang Ying reported all the information he had found in detail to Zhang Zongyu.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongyu thought to himself:

"Silver Tiger Guards? It seems the imperial court is taking this incident very seriously!"

He knew very well that the Silver Tiger Guard was an elite force in the imperial court. The fact that they were sent out to carry out this mission was enough to prove how much the imperial court valued the Blood Nether Pavilion.

Zhang Zongyu continued, "Although these evil cultivators have not yet become a force to be reckoned with, we cannot take it lightly because they involve a mysterious and powerful force like the Blood Nether Pavilion.

After all, no one knows the sect's true strength and current situation. Therefore, we must be fully prepared to deal with it."

Afterwards, Zhang Zongyu issued a series of instructions: "Inform every member of the clan that cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm are not allowed to step outside the 100-mile radius of Cangling Mountain;

The members of the Qi Condensation Realm and the Yuan Condensation Realm who are responsible for guarding the family business must prepare various life-saving methods in advance and must not be stingy with the use of spirit stones, because at the critical moment, saving their own lives is the most important thing.

In addition, try to reduce the frequency of deliveries. If other families have urgent needs, have them send people to the Zhang family to pick up the goods..."

……

Zhang Zongyu was well aware of the dangers and potential threats posed by evil cultivators, and he understood that he must take decisive action to protect his family.

Although these measures may have a certain impact on the current period of great development, he believes that this is a necessary sacrifice for the long-term benefit.

Cangling Mountain now has a powerful fifth-level lower-grade family protection formation, which was carefully arranged by Zhang Chentian and his teacher Zhou Qi. It can resist the attacks of strong people in the middle stage of the spiritual realm, so the security within the family is still very high.

"Okay, go down and make sure to convey this information to every member of the tribe as quickly as possible!" Zhang Zongyu ordered seriously.

"Yes! Deputy Patriarch! I'll take my leave!" Zhang Ying responded respectfully and his figure quickly disappeared in the hall.

Zhang Zongyu looked at the direction where Zhang Ying left and sighed inwardly: "Alas, the storm is coming, I also need to break through to the middle stage of Danhua as soon as possible..."

Linghua Island!

Jiuxuan Star Tower, inside the cabin.

Zhang Chentian sat cross-legged with a solemn expression, and a hint of coldness emanated from his body.

The spiritual energy within him surged like a surging tide. The Ice Divine Art was circulating through his body to its fullest potential, and every meridian and acupoint was filled with extremely cold spiritual energy.

His body was gradually covered by a layer of crystal clear frost. From a distance, he looked like an ice sculpture standing in the valley.

Suddenly, Zhang Chentian's body began to tremble violently as if struck by lightning.

At the same time, an extremely powerful aura erupted from his body like a volcano.

The breath was so powerful that the surrounding air was instantly frozen, turning into crystal clear ice crystals that fluttered down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chentian's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, like two bright stars.

That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the endless void, making people shudder.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, his voice deep and powerful: "Huh~ I finally broke through to the late stage of the Spiritual Realm!"

As he finished speaking, his figure slowly stood up straight, and the frost on his body fell off, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Every time an ice crystal falls to the ground, it will splash out a gorgeous ice flower, just like a firework blooming.

He stood there quietly, feeling the surging power in his body, with an indescribable joy welling up in his heart.

This joy does not come from the breakthrough itself, but rather an affirmation and confidence in the improvement of one's own strength.

He waved his hand lightly, and a stream of extremely cold air whizzed out. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees were frozen and the rocks were cracked.

Zhang Chentian woke up from his retreat. He looked at Xiaota who was sleeping in the corner of the wooden house and asked:

"Xiaota, how long have I been in seclusion this time?"

After hearing the sound, Xiaota yawned loudly, stretched himself, and replied calmly:

"You have been in seclusion for about two and a half years this time, which is about three months in the outside world."

"Three months have passed... That means there are only five months left until November of the year 2026 in the Xuanshen calendar, which is when I get married. I should really start preparing." Zhang Chentian thought to himself, then stood up and walked out of the cabin.

“You don’t have many martial arts skills, so after you get married, remember to come back as soon as possible to continue practicing the martial arts I prepared for you.

"Also, you need to work hard to improve your Formation Master skills. You can't embarrass me in the Formation Master Competition four and a half years from now." Xiaota warned Zhang Chentian from behind.

"Don't worry, Xiaota!" Zhang Chentian turned around and responded, and then his figure appeared in an ancient-style house.
