After a moment of absent-mindedness, Zhou Chunhua's gaze returned to the courtyard. She glanced at the five masked men who were heavily injured and unconscious, and she was puzzled.
After taking off the half-step neutralizing Jin man's face cloth, Zhou Chunhua was shocked."Lu Clan!"
Seemingly unwilling to accept this result, Zhou Chunhua took off the face masks of the other four men. Her heart sank.
She had always suspected that the person who had come was a martial artist from the Li family. This was because the martial artists of the Li family were the most arrogant and despotic in Yunxi City. Bullying the weak, killing people and snatching treasures, and so on were not uncommon. They had also had several conflicts with the Zhou family. Unexpectedly, the culprit this time was actually the Lu family, which she had excluded first.
As the number one martial arts family in Yunxi City, the Lu family had a deep foundation and a lot of talents. The image that they had created for the outside world had always been righteous and awe-inspiring. They had the image of a prestigious family. The children of the family were upright and upright, and their reputation had always been good.
However, the truth was right in front of them. According to the information gathered by the Zhou Family on the Yunxi martial artists, the Half-Step to HuaJin man was called Lu Shaohong. He was one of the most talented direct descendants of the Lu Family's younger generation. His martial talent was second only to his sister, Lu Qingcheng. He was the most powerful competitor for the young master of the Lu Family.
Although Lu Qingcheng was the number one martial arts genius of the Lu family, her prestige in the family was far inferior to her brother Lu Shaohong because she was a woman. To a large extent, Lu Shaohong was the young master of the Lu family.
Although the other four were not the top martial geniuses of the Lu family, they could be considered young elites among the younger generation of the Lu family.
Having experienced many storms, she had already passed the age of naivety and romance. She would definitely not naively think that this matter was just Lu Shaohong's willful act.
Although the Zhou family had declined, they still had an Extreme Revered Martial Artist. No Tom, Dick, or Harry could easily provoke them. Even Lu Shaohong would not dare to attack the Zhou family's villa without the tacit approval of the Lu family's higher-ups.
No wonder Grandpa said that in Yunxi City, if the Li family was a vicious wolf, the Lu family was a poisonous snake. The vicious wolf looked fierce, but its actions were aboveboard and traceable. Only the poisonous snake hid in the dark, making people unable to guard against it.
When she heard these words, she looked disdainful, thinking that her grandfather was spouting nonsense and deliberately slandering his competitors.
After today's incident, she had no choice but to change her mind. Sometimes, what she saw and heard might not be the truth.
Five core disciples of the Lu Clan had met with an accident in the Zhou Clan's estate. It would have been fine if they had only been injured, but in the end, one of them was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and four of them had their cultivation crippled. Among them was Lu Shaohong, the second prodigy of the Lu Clan. If news of this spread to the Lu Clan, the Zhou Clan would definitely be enraged.
Zhou Chunhua, who realized the severity of the situation, quickly took out her phone and dialed her grandfather Zhou Zhengtian's number, asking him to come and take charge of the situation.
Due to the relapse of his internal injuries, Zhou Zhengtian had been recuperating in seclusion recently. If it wasn't for the sudden incident, Zhou Chunhua wouldn't have rashly alerted him.
Fifteen minutes later, an old man with white hair and beard, a kind face, and a green robe flew over. He was the current head of the Zhou family, the pillar of the Zhou family, the Extreme Force Revered Martial Artist Zhou Zhengtian.
Extreme Jin Martial Honored Warrior. He had entered the path through martial arts and had already condensed his Martial Soul Yuan Dan in his dantian. In terms of the major realm, he was equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator. His body had already escaped the shackles of gravity and could swim in the sky. He was known as the Land Deity.
Zhou Chunhua's heart was filled with yearning as she looked at her grandfather flying over. Huaxia had a population of one billion and a million martial artists. There were less than a thousand people above the HuaJin stage. The path of martial arts cultivation was extremely difficult.
Soaring in the sky and looking down at the living beings below was the dream of countless Chinese martial artists. It was also Zhou Chunhua's dream.
Zhou Zhengtian slowly descended and arrived at the courtyard. After looking around, he was secretly shocked."What pure energy! What an overbearing finger technique! Such precise strength! There's actually such an expert in the world!"
Although he could also severely injure the five of them with a wave of his hand, he could not do it with such precision, let alone cripple their cultivation so easily.
The five of them seemed to be seriously injured and dying, but in fact, they were not fatal. It could be seen that the person who attacked had reached a superb level of control over his strength, making him, an Extreme Revered Martial Artist, feel inferior.
What shocked him even more was that the sword finger mark on the lapis lazuli was something that even he, who had been practicing martial arts for decades, could not do.
In other words, it was impossible for any martial artist to do so. This was because the Qi cultivated by a martial artist was extremely strong and violent. It was filled with violent Qi. It was very difficult to restrain it, let alone to concentrate it at a point and erupt at will."Is this person really a martial artist?”
Seeing the grave expression on her grandfather's face, Zhou Chunhua asked cautiously,""Grandpa, are you worried that something happened to the Lu family's disciples in our territory?”
Zhou Zhengtian shook his head lightly and said nonchalantly,""On the surface, the Lu family is righteous, but in fact, they are thieves and prostitutes behind their backs. It's not the first time they have done such petty tricks. As long as Old Lu wants to continue protecting that hypocritical face, he won't make a big deal out of it. After all, it's not good to say that he failed to rob and was crippled instead.”
"Moreover, we're not the ones who crippled the cultivation of these juniors. What do I have to worry about?”
Zhou Chunhua could tell from her grandfather's casual tone that he was not panicking. Instead, he was gloating and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's true. What if the Lu family doesn't care about their reputation and insists on pursuing our crimes?”Zhou Chunhua was still a little worried. After all, the Lu Clan had many experts, and the current Zhou Clan was far from being able to match them.
In this martial arts world where the bigger fist was the bigger reason, reasoning and discussing right and wrong could be said to be very difficult.
"My dear granddaughter, don't worry. The Lu family is very hypocritical. They will definitely suffer in silence.”
"If you're really worried, I'll personally make a trip to the Lu family. I want to seek an explanation from Old Lu. Although my Zhou family has declined, it hasn't declined to the point where it can be bullied by others.”
Zhou Zhengtian's words were sonorous and forceful. Clearly, he had something to rely on and was not afraid of the Lu family at all.
"Compared to the Lu family, I'm more interested in this expert. My dear granddaughter, tell me, who is the other party?”
Seeing her grandfather's interested expression, Zhou Chunhua organized her thoughts and immediately described Yun Tianyu's appearance and age, as well as the various methods he had displayed in detail.
The more Zhou Zhengtian heard, the more shocked he became. He could not help but ask,"Are you sure that this expert is only at the intermediate stage of inner force cultivation?”
Zhou Chunhua answered without hesitation," If my ability to sense his aura is correct, he is indeed only at the middle stage of Internal Force Cultivation. Judging from his appearance, he is no older than twenty.”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian immediately fell into silence. His granddaughter was talented and her ability to sense auras was extraordinary. She had never made a mistake, even if the other party was an Extreme Revered Martial Artist.
Not to mention age, in front of a martial artist's keen observation, it was even more difficult to fake.
The matter was too bizarre. Zhou Zhengtian could not help but think of an ancient legend.
According to the ancient records, the Blue Blue Planet had a glorious history three thousand years ago. It was rich in spiritual energy and had an excellent cultivation environment. It was known as the Age of Gods.
In the Age of Gods, all kinds of powerful people rose up, immortals and gods were everywhere, demonic beasts ran amok, and demons danced around.
The Chinese of that era mainly cultivated immortal techniques and called themselves immortal cultivators. There were all kinds of divine arts and mantras. The top immortal cultivators were extremely powerful. They could fly into the sky, move mountains, fill seas, shake the sky, and revive the dead. They were almost omnipotent. They were far from being comparable to the martial artists of today.
At the end of the Age of Immortals, it was rumored that there was a long-lasting war between immortals and gods. The details of the war were unknown because this period of history was still blank and could not be studied.
From then on, the orthodoxy collapsed, immortals and gods perished, demons and devils became extinct, and the Blue Planet entered the Age of Chaos.
Because the inheritance of immortal cultivation was almost cut off, coupled with the worsening cultivation environment, it was becoming more and more unsuitable for immortal cultivation. The surviving Chinese were forced to change their cultivation methods and turn from immortal cultivation to martial arts. They entered the era of martial arts, also known as the era of martial arts.
In the era of martial arts, there were also some unorthodox occupations similar to Immortal Cultivators, such as Daoists, Qi Practitioners, Wizards, etc. Due to the lack of cultivation techniques and the lack of natural energy, not only was their cultivation progress slow, but it was also extremely difficult for them to break through to the next realm. Although their combat methods were similar to Immortal Cultivators, their strength was far inferior. They were only slightly stronger than martial artists of the same level. Martial artists usually called these people Espers.
From the many techniques that this young man had displayed, Zhou Zhengtian boldly guessed that his true identity was very likely to be a real immortal cultivator. He could retrieve things from a distance, heal injuries in an instant, and perform martial arts techniques that were comparable to the power of the late stage of Extreme Jin at the intermediate stage of Internal Force. It seemed that only the legendary immortal cultivators could do this.
Zhou Zhengtian couldn't help but think to himself,'The Immortal Cultivators have disappeared from the world. Now that they have returned to the world, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. I'm afraid China is going to change!”
Thinking back, Zhou Zhengtian stroked his beard and said with a smile,""My dear granddaughter, you've finally encountered a great opportunity. This young man is very likely to be a legendary immortal cultivator.”
"What are Immortal Cultivators? Is he even more powerful than a martial artist?"
Zhou Chunhua's face was filled with confusion. This was because the term 'immortal cultivator' was unheard of. It could be said that this was the first time she had heard of it.
Zhou Zhengtian raised his head to the sky, his face full of reverence and unfathomable,""Immortal cultivators are also called cultivators. It is rumored that such people can communicate with heaven and earth, control the power of the Great Path, and have unfathomable abilities. Their strength is extremely terrifying. Although the martial artists are not bad, they are like fireflies in front of them. How can they compete with the bright moon? To exaggerate, we martial artists are trash in front of immortal cultivators.”
"No way, the Immortal Cultivators are so powerful!”
Zhou Chunhua was so shocked that her face was blank. She had originally thought that martial artists were the strongest existences in this world, but her grandfather's words had completely overturned her understanding.
"Whether it's powerful or not, you'll know when you see this.”
Zhou Zhengtian didn't say anything else. In order to prove that he was telling the truth, he followed the Mysterious Heaven Finger's circulation route and quickly gathered his Genuine Qi on his fingertip. Then, he pointed at the Lapis Lazuli.
With a loud explosion, sparks flew in all directions, and dust rose everywhere. The entire villa shook violently, and another bowl-sized hole was pierced through the lapis lazuli.
Although the two holes were about the same size, they were worlds apart.
Yun Tianyu's Profound Heaven Sword Finger was hollow. The opening was flat and smooth like a mirror. There was not a single crack around it.
Zhou Zhengtian's Profound Heavenly Finger was hollow and messy. Cracks were everywhere, and there were even three cracks that were more than a finger wide.
Due to using too much strength, Zhou Zhengtian's internal injuries were accidentally affected. His face instantly turned pale, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Zhou Chunhua quickly supported Zhou Zhengtian and said with concern,""Grandpa, are you alright?"
In order to not let his granddaughter worry, Zhou Zhengtian forcefully suppressed the chaotic Genuine Qi in his body and waved his hand. He said softly,""I'm fine. My old bones can still hold on. My dear granddaughter, can you see the difference?”
Zhou Chunhua thought for a moment and said carefully,""It's also the Heavenly Finger. Grandfather's Heavenly Finger might seem powerful, but in reality, the force of the finger was scattered, causing a lot of unnecessary wastage and reducing its power by several times. That senior's Heavenly Finger, on the other hand, restrained the force to the extreme without any wastage, causing the heaviest destructive power.”
"In Chun Hua's humble opinion, although your cultivation level is far higher than his, if you were to use the Profound Heavenly Finger, grandfather would definitely not be a match for that senior.”
Zhou Zhengtian stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly. He said with a look of approval,"As expected of the most outstanding martial arts genius of my Zhou family's younger generation. Grandfather didn't dote on you for nothing.”
Then, he changed the topic and said unhappily,"There must be a reason why such an expert is willing to help you. Why don't you keep him and treat him well?”
Zhou Chunhua looked aggrieved and quickly explained,""I did, but he ignored me. I saw that he was so powerful, so I wanted to see if I could take him as my master. In the end, not only did he not agree, he even got angry. This person's temper is really too strange.”
Zhou Zhengtian couldn't help but frown when he heard that. He scolded,""My dear granddaughter, you're so muddle-headed. I don't even know what to say to you.”
Her grandfather usually doted on her the most and treated her like the apple of his eye. Today, he actually blamed her for this matter. Zhou Chunhua felt wronged and her eyes could not help but redden.
Zhou Zhengtian sighed lightly. This granddaughter was good at everything, but she didn't understand human relationships. He could only explain,"Immortal cultivators have great divine abilities and are extremely arrogant. They have extremely strict conditions for accepting disciples. Moreover, he saved you and did you a great favor. You don't even thank him first and want to take him as your master.”
After her grandfather's explanation, Zhou Chunhua finally understood that she was indeed in the wrong. No wonder that senior was so angry.
"It's a pity that such an opportunity was missed just like that!”Zhou Zhengtian let out a long sigh, his heart filled with regret.
"No! It's said that cultivators are detached from the world and view the people of the world as ants. They are apathetic and won't attack easily. Since he's willing to help you, he must have some ulterior motive. I hope he hasn't gone far. You're the only one who has seen his true face. Immediately mobilize all the forces of the Zhou family and find his whereabouts.”
"And after finding it?" Zhou Chunhua, who was worried about messing things up again, quickly asked.
"Prepare a generous gift and make sure he accepts it. We must let him feel the kindness of our Zhou family in order to obtain his protection.”Zhou Zhengtian immediately made a move. If he wanted to get it, he had to pay first. He knew this very well.
The Zhou family had experienced a drastic change. Although her granddaughter Zhou Chunhua was extremely talented in martial arts, she had made a mistake in her cultivation and had not been able to break through to the HuaJin realm. She was already old and her internal injuries were difficult to heal. There was not much time left. The decline of the Zhou family was a foregone conclusion.
However, at this time, the appearance of the Immortal Cultivators, whether it was real or fake, could become an opportunity for the Zhou family to turn the tables. How could Zhou Zhengtian let go of such a good opportunity?
As if he felt that it was inappropriate, Zhou Zhengtian hurriedly reminded,"The identity of an Immortal Cultivator is very secretive. Very few people in all of Huaxia know about it. This matter can only be carried out in secret.”
"It's not that serious, right? I think he's a good person except for his strange temper.”
Zhou Chunhua felt that her grandfather was exaggerating. Although Yun Tianyu had rejected her request to become her disciple and even helped her heal her injuries before he left, he clearly did not look like a bad person.
Zhou Zhengtian could not help but frown at his granddaughter's lack of understanding. He snorted coldly and said,"You're right to listen to grandpa. I saw that this man was decisive and ruthless. According to your description, his Qi is blood-red. Those who can release blood-red Qi are peerless killing gods who have killed more than ten thousand people and stood on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are definitely not good people. We can only befriend such a ruthless person and never offend him.”
In order to hide his true thoughts, Zhou Zhengtian had to make up such a reason.
It was only a legend that after killing more than ten thousand people, the force would turn blood-red.
Hearing this, Zhou Chunhua turned pale with fright and asked in confusion,""Killing more than ten thousand people, isn't that a murderous demon king? We should avoid this kind of person, why do we still take the initiative to approach?”
His granddaughter was still a girl and did not understand the cruelty of the martial arts world. Zhou Zhengtian could only explain calmly,"My dear granddaughter, you don't understand. The strongest martial arts in the world are used to kill people. On the path of cultivation, the strong preyed on the weak. The strong who stand at the peak of martial arts have their hands stained with blood and stepped on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.”
"If you can get some pointers from such an expert, it won't be difficult for you to break through to the HuaJin stage!”
At the mention of breaking through to the HuaJin stage, Zhou Chunhua's eyes immediately lit up. She hurriedly promised,""Chun Hua understands. This time, she will definitely not disappoint grandfather.”
"My dear granddaughter, whether the Zhou Clan can rise again will depend on you.”Zhou Zhengtian whispered. Extreme Supreme Realm Qi shot out of his body and turned into five invisible forces, enveloping the five people of the Lu family. He carried the five people and flew in the direction of the Lu family's residence.
