The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

Zhang Chentian was changing his cultivation method with both pain and joy.

"How is the Great Elder?" Luo Qingshi asked an old man beside him with a serious expression.

"Reporting to the clan leader, the first elder plans to go to the Zhang family and join them in fighting against the Wei family." The third elder of the Luo family replied.

"Alas~ Elders, do you think our Luo family should assist the Zhang family this time?"

Faced with Luo Qingshi's question, all the elders of the Luo family fell into deep thought.

After a long while, the Second Elder slowly said, "Clan leader, this situation is extraordinary. The Wei family's ancestor has achieved a breakthrough to the Dan stage, and with the Guiyuan Sect's full support, the Zhang family is probably doomed."

"Although my Luo family is related to the Zhang family by marriage, the City Lord's Mansion cannot allow the Wei family to destroy two third-rank families in a short period of time. This is not conducive to the development of Tianshui City."

"However, if my Luo family goes to aid the Zhang family, not only will a large number of our clansmen be sacrificed, but after the Zhang family is destroyed, my Luo family will surely suffer fierce retaliation from the Wei family. Therefore, I believe we should not go to help."

As soon as the second elder of the Luo family said this, he was instantly agreed by most people present.

"You're talking nonsense," an angry shout came from outside the door, and the great elder Luo Tengyu walked in with a sullen face.

"Are you so afraid of death? The Zhang family has been destroyed, how can the Luo family, as a relative by marriage, remain unscathed? Even if the Wei family doesn't attack us in the short term, what will happen a hundred years from now?"

"Great Elder, how can you speak like that? We are also doing this for the family!" the Second Elder retorted.

The Great Elder ignored the Second Elder and turned to look at Luo Qingshi. He said in a deep voice, "Clan Leader, what do you think?"

Luo Qingshi looked at the Great Elder in silence, his attitude was clear.

"Hmph! If you don't go, I will go alone." Luo Tengyu snorted coldly and left with a wave of his sleeves.

"Clan leader, this..."

"Let him go, otherwise he will bear a grudge against me for the rest of his life. Also, pass on my order to protect the Zhang family's assets in Tianshui City. While the Zhang family is away, our Luo family will guard them on their behalf. This is also our contribution."

"If we receive news that the Zhang family has been annihilated, we will retreat and must not engage in a life-and-death battle with the Wei family."

Luo Qingshi chose a middle way, not offending either side.

Luo Qingshi left the meeting room after he finished speaking and rubbed his temples. Sometimes it was difficult for him, but as the patriarch, he had to put the family first and put personal feelings aside.

Tianya Pavilion.

"Senior Liu, what do you think of the current situation? Should we go and support the Zhang family?" Filia asked with a worried look on her face.

Liu Qing shook his head slightly and said firmly, "My Tianya Pavilion has a prohibition that we will never interfere in conflicts between any forces. I'm sure you are aware of this."

Fei Liya nodded. She certainly understood the importance of this ban, but she was still a little worried. "But if the Zhang family can't hold on, won't Zhang Chentian be in danger?"

Liu Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile: "Don't worry, if that time really comes, I will naturally come forward to save Zhang Chentian's life. This way, I will not violate the ban and can save a life at the same time. It can be said to be the best of both worlds."

After hearing this, Felia's worries were slightly relieved. She couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Liu is wise and decisive. It's admirable."

……

City Lord's Mansion.

"Father, I want to help Zhang Chentian. Please allow me." Xia Aofeng knelt on the ground and begged.

The Lord of Tianshui City looked at Xia Aofeng who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "What good will it do you to save him? Will it benefit you to wait for the Zhang family to be destroyed, and then the Wei family to spare your life and bring discredit to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Although I haven't met Brother Chentian often, we have had very pleasant conversations in private. He is also acquainted with cousin Aoxue, and we have a close relationship. Therefore, I will definitely do my best to help Brother Chentian." Xia Aofeng said with a firm expression.

"You've already done a lot for the Zhang family. You even secretly sold them five third-grade, top-grade healing pills and several third-grade formation plates. Isn't that enough?"

"Zhang Chentian's talent is certainly good, but at the age of eighteen, he's in the late stage of Qi Condensation and isn't worthy of the City Lord's Mansion's help."

"Come here, take him away and keep him under strict guard. He is not allowed to leave the City Lord's Mansion for the time being."

The Shi family and the Yang family also faced the same problem, but they both chose to help the Zhang family with all their strength without hesitation.

"The Zhang family has helped my Shi family many times when they were in danger. My Shi family will never be ungrateful."

"We will obey the orders of the clan leader!"

"Let's go and quickly lend a helping hand to the Zhang family!" Shi Zhengkai waved his arm, and all the people in the Shi family, except for the elderly, women, children and some people who stayed behind, went out.

"Huo'er, you were encouraged by Chen Tian in the past, and you revived your spirit. You vowed to repay this kindness. Now you are out there gaining experience, and you have found a mysterious alchemist as your teacher. Your future is bright and limitless. Today, I, your father, will repay this kindness."

Shi Zhengkai had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Zhang family.

"Second brother, have all the younger generations of the clan been arranged?" Zhang Zongyu asked Zhang Zongyan who was sitting in front of him.

"Don't worry, clan leader. Almost all the clan members under the age of sixteen have safely evacuated from the small path under the leadership of my fourth brother. Only a few would rather die than leave. We have no choice but to let them stay." Zhang Zongyan replied.

"Alas, I don't know if my Zhang family can survive this crisis. It would be great if the ancestor could break through, then nothing would happen this time." Zhang Zongyu sighed.

"Okay, this is not like your style. In the past, you were always fearless no matter what you faced," Zhang Zongyan teased.

"Seeing our family slowly developing, who knows what will become of it after this incident? The combined strength of the Wei family and the Guiyuan sect in the Condensation Realm cultivators already surpasses our Zhang family, and now there's also a Huadan Realm cultivator. Sigh~"

"By the way, what is Chentian doing now?" Zhang Zongyu asked.

"I heard from other tribesmen that he is in seclusion. He might be making talismans. After all, he is a third-level mid-grade spiritual talisman master."

"It would be great if he was willing to leave." Zhang Zongyan said.

"Don't worry about that brat. Let's continue playing chess. Days like this will soon be over."

At this time, a clan member came running over and said, "Headmaster, the Shi family, the Yang family, and the Luo family's great elder are here."

Zhang Zongyu and Zhang Zongyan looked at each other, feeling touched and relieved.

"Please invite them in!" Zhang Zongyu said hurriedly.

After a while, the Shi family, the Yang family and Luo Tengyu all came to the courtyard. There were not many people, a total of 150.

"Everyone, Zhang Zongyu would like to thank you for coming here at this time!" Zhang Zongyu clasped his fists in gratitude.

"You're too polite, Patriarch Zhang. The Zhang family has helped our two families resolve crises many times. How could we back down now?" Shi Zhengkai said generously.

"Yes, Chief Zhang, we will definitely fight side by side with the Zhang family to resist foreign enemies!" Chief Yang also expressed his opinion.

"Hahaha, my dear relatives, I will also lead a few men from the Luo family to help."

"Hahaha, thank you all. Come on, prepare a banquet to welcome the people from the Luo, Shi and Yang families." Zhang Zongyu laughed.
