Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Chapter 509 If you dare to whine again, I will take off your head!

No big deal?

Zhang Jiao's expression was relieved at first, but then it darkened and he felt like his head was buzzing.

In this hot summer, with such high temperatures, why can you say such cold words?

It's no big deal, and how can you link the two together?

"Brother Song's joke is not funny at all."

Zhang Jue wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. "My Zhang family has been passed down for three hundred years. Although we can't compare with the Xuanyi Guards, we can still be said to share weal and woe with the Great Zhou.

You said someone in the clan was ignorant and offended you, I believe that, but you are going a bit too far when you say it's treason."

"This is really not a joke."

Song Xuan casually pointed in a direction, which was the direction of the imperial palace. There, on the top of a hall, a young man in a dragon robe was watching the excitement with relish, holding melon seeds in his hand.

"Look, that's the new emperor of our Great Zhou. Your Majesty saw it all clearly when your Zhang family instigated the mob to rebel and were beheaded in the street.

If you don't believe me, you can go ask His Majesty in person!"

Zhang Jue's expression changed drastically this time.

It would be fine if he couldn't see through Song Xuan, after all, he was the commander of the Xuanyi Guard, and he couldn't hold this position without some ability.

But he couldn't even see through this young new emperor.

I haven't been back to the imperial capital for fifty years. I didn't expect that the situation in the imperial capital has become so incredible.

Now, whether it is the commander of the Xuanyi Guard or the emperor, do they have to be at the grandmaster level to take the position?

What made him most uncomfortable was that Song Xuan brought up the emperor, and the emperor had no intention of refuting it, which was tacitly agreeing with the conclusion that the Zhang family was plotting a rebellion.

The Xuanyi Guards and the Emperor reached a consensus, so the Zhang family's rebellion was a foregone conclusion!

Zuo Ci and Ge Hong also looked unhappy.

They knew that the Zhang family might be in big trouble this time, but they didn't expect that it was more than just a big problem, it was basically going to kill the Zhang family.

Seeing the difficulties the Zhang family is facing now, they can't help but think of the family behind them.

If the Zhang family can be charged with treason, will the Zuo and Ge families also face the same predicament as they do today?

After a brief silence, Zhang Jue said, "Fellow Daoist, you've surrounded us but haven't attacked, and haven't broken into the gate to capture the prisoners. You must be waiting for me to come back, right?

Just tell me what you want, there's no need to beat around the bush!"

"Very good!" Song Xuan said with a smile, "I like dealing with people who understand!"

His expression turned serious. "Over at Tianyuan, the pressure is quite high, and we need to transfer some people over there. The three of you have been blessed by the good fortune of our Great Zhou and have enjoyed peace and stability for so many years. Isn't it time for you to contribute some strength?"

"Tianyuan?"

Zhang Jiao and the other two looked at each other.

They have always been very repulsive to the word "Tianyuan". Otherwise, they would not have left the imperial capital so far.

Some great masters practiced the way of fighting and killing, so they naturally did not shy away from the Tianyuan and even yearned for it.

But they practiced the Taoist method of purity, and did not like killing. They liked to practice hard in the mountains the most. If the Zhang family had not been in trouble today, they would not even come out of the mountains.

Now, if they were asked to go to Tianyuan to take risks and be controlled by the Great Zhou Taizu, they would naturally be unwilling to do so.

Seeing the three people hesitating, Song Xuan continued, "You want to protect your family while also seeking peace and tranquility for yourself. In this world, how can you have the best of both worlds?"

Zhang Jue took a deep breath. "So, fellow Daoist, are you asking us to choose between ourselves and our family?"

Song Xuan nodded and said, "Although my Xuanyiwei family holds power, it was gained by our ancestors who risked their lives.

Anyone who becomes a grandmaster will basically choose to go to Tianyuan to fight after twenty years!

You three families are unwilling to shoulder your responsibilities, yet you still want your clansmen to enjoy all the benefits of the Great Zhou. I only ask one question: why?

There was another moment of silence.

Song Xuan was not in a hurry. He knew that several people were struggling and had been waiting for several days. It didn't matter if he gave them some time to think about it.

After a while, Zuo Ci spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Song, if we go to Tianyuan, can you guarantee the safety of the younger generations of our clan?"

Hearing that the other party was willing to compromise, his expression softened a little.

In fact, he could have let Victoria Song beat up the three of them and throw them directly into the abyss.

But that doesn't make sense.

The battle in Tianyuan is tense, and what is needed is manpower, not three teammates who are mentally repulsive and even hold back. If an agreement can be reached with the three of them and they are allowed to go to Tianyuan to work honestly, this is the result Song Xuan wants to see.

After a moment's hesitation, he gave his answer.

"If fellow Taoists Zuo Ci and Ge Hong are willing to enter Tianyuan with dignity, I can guarantee that the status of the two families in the Great Zhou will remain unchanged. As for the heroes who fought for the human race in Tianyuan, their descendants will naturally be treated well by my Xuanyi Guards!

As for the Zhang family..."

Song Xuan turned his head to look at Zhang Jiao, "The Zhang family's rebellion is true. Even if you take the initiative to go to Tianyuan, the Zhang family will not easily forgive you."

Zhang Jiao's anger suddenly surged, and the power of thunder in his body became even more violent.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? You really want to make things difficult for me, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Qian, who was sawing wood in a corner of the yard, put down the saw in her hand and swung it casually. There was no powerful force coming, but the thunder defense in front of Zhang Jue was torn apart in an instant. With a loud bang, his body flew backwards.

Vomiting blood and flying backwards!

This scene was so shocking that Zuo Ci and Ge Hong felt as if they were falling into a dream and could hardly believe their eyes.

The three of them have practiced hard in Hanzhou for many years, and they all know how strong their abilities are. Although Zhang Jiao dare not say that he is the strongest among the three, he has the power of thunder and his combat power is definitely not weak. Even if he meets those old masters who came out of Tianyuan, he will definitely be able to fight.

As a result, even such a strong man had his strongest thunder defense torn apart by a casual wave of someone's hand. He had no power to resist at all and was directly knocked away!

They guessed that Song Xuan forced them to show up, so he must have a backup plan, but isn’t your backup plan too exaggerated?

"Cough cough~~"

Zhang Jue got up from the ground and took a look at the palm print on his chest.

He could sense that the other party had no intention of killing, otherwise the palm strike from the air would not only have left a palm print, but would have directly blasted their bodies apart.

"Grandmaster Wuque?"

Although he felt waves of pain in his body, Zhang Jiao's eyes were sparkling with brilliance, and there was even a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

Song Qian didn't answer him, but said coldly: "My brother is kind-hearted. He doesn't want to kill you because of the difficulty of your cultivation. But I don't have such a good temper as him!

If you dare to talk dirty to me again, I'll chop off your head!"

Zhang Jue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his attitude became much better than before, and he bowed to Song Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist, is the Zhang family in the imperial capital truly beyond saving?"

Song Xuan hummed, "Ever since they led the mob into the city, they were doomed!"

Zhang Jiao said, "I wish to enter the Heavenly Abyss. I wonder if there are other branches of the Zhang family outside the imperial capital. Could you please leave a way for them to survive?"

Song Xuan nodded, "Yes!"

Chapter 510: Zero on the left and fire on the right, Thunder God helps me!

That night, countless people in the imperial capital witnessed a scene that they would never forget.

Zhang Jiao, the ancestor of the Zhang family, who had not appeared for decades, appeared above the imperial capital.

He stood in the void, with lightning and thunder surrounding him. Bursts of rumbling sounds came between heaven and earth, as if the god of thunder had descended from the nine heavens to the earth.

"Ancestor, the ancestor is back!"

"Ancestor, Ancestor, save me!"

"Haha, the ancestor is back, my Zhang family is saved!"

Inside the Zhang family mansion, thousands of people were cheering and cheering, as if they had seen a savior. The suffocating feeling they had felt when the Xuanyi Guards blocked the door and killed them was now completely swept away.

The ancestor has returned with the might of thunder, the heaven and earth are shaking, accompanied by thousands of thunders. Even if the Xuanyi Guards want to deal with the Zhang family, they will probably have to think carefully about whether it is worth it!

But the next moment, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Zhang Jiao was standing a hundred meters away from the Zhang family mansion, he raised his hand and clenched it. Thunderbolts fell from the sky and gathered more and more in the palm of his hand. The terrifying power of heaven and earth oppressed everyone so much that they could not stand up.

In the perception of everyone in the Zhang family, it seemed as if a terrifying giant thunder god was awakening above their heads, and the terrifying pressure seemed to tear people's souls apart.

"what's the situation?"

Inside the Zhang family mansion, some people began to murmur in their hearts, and even began to feel scared.

Judging from the situation, the ancestor doesn't seem to be here to provide support for the Zhang family. It seems more like he wants to send down thunderbolts from heaven to destroy the Zhang family.

"Don't panic, don't panic!"

As a congenital warrior, Zhang Xun possessed extraordinary aptitude for martial arts. At this moment, he was extremely confident and said loudly, "I have read the records in ancient books. This move of the ancestor is the method of mastering the Five Thunders, which is recorded in ancient books. It is a manifestation of the ultimate cultivation of martial arts. Among the Grandmasters, he is also a first-class existence!"

With the ancestor's methods, the Xuanyi Guards may not dare to offend him. Now that he has come forward, he will definitely keep us safe!"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Yuan scolded, "How can you have the right to speak in front of the ancestor!"

He now hated his son's bad mouth. The ancestor was showing his divine power at this moment, and his purpose was probably to demonstrate his strength and make the Xuanyi Guards afraid.

But aren't you slapping the Xuanyiwei in the face by shouting like this, you scoundrel?

Even if the Xuanyi Guards originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, they had to send out experts to fight with the ancestor!

At this moment, Zhang Jiao, who was holding the heavenly thunder in his hand high in the sky, finally spoke.

The sound was grand and vast, with a hint of ethereality.

"The Zhang family of the imperial capital is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust!"

"I am Zhang Jiao, a poor Taoist priest. I have returned from my hard training and I ask the Zhang family to accept my death!"

After the words were spoken, without any further ado, under the horrified gazes of the Zhang family and the watchful eyes of countless forces in the imperial capital, the clenched hand suddenly pressed down.

boom!

With a palm pressed down, the power of the thunder law rotated endlessly, and thousands of thunders continued to expand and grow, suddenly turning into a mountain of thunder, and suddenly rushed towards the Zhang family's mansion to suppress it.

Boom!

Lightning snakes danced wildly, and the void exploded as if a hole had cracked. This earth-shattering thunder strike roared and shook the sky above the imperial capital.

But as the thunder mountain pressed down, houses, buildings, rocks, lakes, and countless desperate members of the Zhang family were all turned into powder in an instant and completely dissipated in the world.

After one blow, the Zhang family was completely wiped out, leaving only the flat, scorched land. Apart from that, there was no other human figure.

At this moment, the imperial capital was silent and countless people were shocked.

Zhang Jiao, the ancestor of the Zhang family, killed his own relatives for the sake of justice and destroyed the Zhang family in the imperial capital with one palm. This scene is both horrifying and chilling!

Even a top family like the Zhang family, which has a grandmaster, could not withstand the pressure of the Xuanyi Guard and chose to destroy their own family with their own hands. Then who in this world can stop the emperor's new policy?

Sure enough, the general trend has changed. This is a change that has not happened in three hundred years!

In the face of such a great trend, anyone who dares to stop it will inevitably be crushed by the wheels of history like the Zhang family!

Zhang Jiao destroyed the Zhang family with one palm, but his expression was calm and not very sad.

He is already hundreds of years old, and has long since become indifferent to worldly matters. The children and grandchildren he cares about have actually been dead for more than a hundred years.

He has no feelings at all about these things now.

For him, as long as the Zhang family's bloodline survives, it makes no difference whether it is the Zhang family of the imperial capital or other branches!

Since the Zhang family in the imperial capital is destined to disappear, it would be better for him, Zhang Jue, to take action personally and give them a quick death. This would be better than being imprisoned in the Xuanyiwei prison and suffering torture before death.

As an ancestor, this is the last thing he can do.

At least, after expressing his attitude this time, even if he died in Tianyuan one day, the Xuanyi Guards and the Emperor would not make things difficult for other branches of the Zhang family.

Looking at the Zhang family residence that was reduced to ashes and razed to the ground, Zhang Jiao let out a sigh of relief, then clasped his fists and saluted towards where Song Xuan was.

"Fellow Daoist, I hope you will keep your promise. We will meet in Tianyuan someday!"

Song Xuan nodded.

Zuo Ci and Ge Hong appeared at the same time. As soon as they appeared, the faces of the people from the Zuo and Ge families changed drastically, and a sense of crisis emerged in their hearts.
