231 Provoking the Zhou family
As the Crown Prince of firecrow Empire, Xin ruyu represented the highest honor and dignity of the nobles. The Xingyang family had already embarrassed the nobles once. If the Zhou family was provoked again, the dignity and face of the entire aristocratic circle of firecrow Empire would be lost!
As the sound spread, all the forces in the entire firecrow Empire were shocked. The royal family, the temple of revered elders, The Alchemist Association, the other three aristocratic families, other aristocrats of all levels, and countless branches of various forces in Shangyang city were all extremely shocked.
“Who’s there? Whoever dares to shout in the sky above my Zhou family, quickly state your name!” An angry roar burst out from the Zhou family. An elder rose into the air and stared at Yunxiao with a murderous look in his eyes!
“Play dumb, continue to play dumb! I just announced my name, and everyone in the city heard it, yet you still ask? Does your Zhou family still have any shame?”
you’re a coward! the elder was immediately at a loss for words. I was wondering who it was, but it turns out that you’re just a little kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair. Don’t think that just because you’ve destroyed the Xingyang family and no one will come to settle the score with you, that firecrow Empire is invincible and you can mess with anyone you want. My Zhou family isn’t a place you can afford to offend!”
“Oh? Could it be that the Zhou family’s status in firecrow Empire was really extraordinary? To stand above the other powers?” Yunxiao sneered.
“Hmph, of course!” The Zhou clan elder said coldly and arrogantly.
The elder was the kind of person who stayed in the clan all day and cultivated hard, so he did not know any language. As such, he fell into a trap after being casually dragged by Yunxiao. Almost all the forces of firecrow Empire had gathered around, and they were all watching in secret. When they heard this, they were all furious.
“Bah! The Zhou family has only existed for a slightly longer period of time. How dare they say that they are above the other forces!”
“I’m ashamed to be listed as one of the four great families!”
Hmph, Hmph, it’s been a thousand years. I think it’s time for the four great families to rearrange their positions.
“He’s simply shameless! Did they think that they were more superior than the royal family? Even more powerful than the jutian sect?”
“Hmph, maybe that’s what he’s thinking!”
The disdainful sneers came from all directions, and the more they spoke, the more unpleasant and bold they became. The elder who stood in the void also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, ” “All of you shut up! What I mean is that our Zhou family is superior to most of the other forces, not all of them. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Wow, you’re amazing!”
that’s right. Look at his arrogant look. He’s indeed ‘above the vast majority of forces’.
we’re done for. I wonder if my mysterious fist sect counts as the ‘majority of the forces’? ”
“Yes, I don’t know if the Jing family of Wei River has been included in his calculation.”
This time, the discussions around them became even louder.
elder, ” Yunxiao sneered, ” may I ask which forces are the ‘majority’? ” I’ll give you a few examples to let everyone understand.”
The elder was anxious when he heard the discussion. He immediately opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly a cold snort came from below. His face changed on the spot and he retreated to the back, not daring to speak.
Several rays of light shot up from the Zhou clan’s mansion and hovered coldly in the air. The aura from their bodies spread out and instantly suppressed the surrounding people, causing them to turn pale and shut their mouths.
The leader of the group was Zhou yangbiao, the patriarch of the Zhou family. When he heard the conversation in the mansion, he knew that things were going to be bad. This elder was a blockhead. If he really followed Yunxiao’s words and pointed out a series of families and sects, he would have completely offended Yunxiao. As such, he hurriedly snorted coldly to stop them and led his men to rush out.
In this world, one could shut others up not by reasoning with them, but by using their fists!
After the Zhou family elders released their auras, the small sects all shut up. The entire area instantly became silent. However, there were still some large sects who couldn’t help but sneer coldly. They still indifferently mocked him a few times before stopping.
Zhou yangbiao glared at Yunxiao with undisguised killing intent. Like a cold wind blowing, he said coldly, ” kid, you’re really courageous. You dare to provoke my Zhou family.
Yunxiao was not afraid of his gaze, so he went up to meet it without fear and said, ” “I made a life-and-death bet with Zhou Yushan, and I’m only here to fulfill it. Who knew that you would treat the promise as a joke!”
“The bet between you and my son was supposed to be in a month’s time at the Golden Crow divine ring! It’s not time yet!” Zhou yangbiao bellowed.
“Hmph, yesterday it was delayed today, today it was delayed tomorrow, tomorrow it was delayed the day after tomorrow. One month later, another month. When would it end? If you have the guts, don’t drag it out any longer. Come out and compete with this Lord now!” Although Yunxiao was only a martial Lord, the aura he exuded made him look even more unyielding and unyielding under the pressure of so many experts, giving people a feeling of unyielding iron.
“Good! Well said! Come out and compete now if you have the guts!”
“That’s right, as a man, you have to do what you promised! Even if I die, I can’t fail to fulfill my promise!”
there’s no time like the present. Little brother is right. We’ll drag it on day by day. When will we reach the end? ”
I didn’t expect the so-called four great families to be such existences. They don’t even dare to participate in the promised competition.
sigh, it’s been thousands of years. The four great clans no longer have the pride of the past. They’re all just cowards who are afraid of death.
When the Zhou family elders and Zhou yangbiao heard this, they trembled in anger. Zhou yangbiao shouted, ” “All of you shut up! Kid, you’re looking for death!” His roar contained a domineering sound wave combat power, which rumbled toward Yunxiao and shook the entire sky.
“Hehe, what a powerful pressure! He’s indeed above everyone else!”
that’s right! It was almost the full power of a nine-stars martial Grandmaster, but this martial Lord didn’t die. It’s a miracle.
Hmph, you went back on your word. You broke the promise first, and now you want to kill me. As one of the four great families, I’m ashamed.
Zhou yangbiao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He looked at the people who were talking and felt his chest tighten.
The four great families had also been constantly fighting with each other, both openly and secretly. This time, the other three guilds would not let go of such a good opportunity, and they added fuel to the fire in the crowd.
On a small building, Xin ruyu had a cold expression on his face. He sipped his tea leaves indifferently and observed every move. He was the future Crown Prince, and he was truly the one who was above all the aristocratic families. He could close his eyes and ignore the internal strife within the aristocratic families, but outsiders were not allowed to provoke the system of the dynasty!
Yunxiao’s face turned slightly pale, and he put on a wounded expression as he said angrily, ” “What a good sound wave martial technique. It won’t be that easy to kill me! Even if a man were to die, he would die in the ring! If your Zhou family still has any dignity as martial artists, then call Zhou Yushan out to fight me to the death!”
Zhou yangbiao suppressed his anger and shouted in his head, Calm down, calm down. He knew that his every move and every word would affect the Zhou family’s reputation. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and said, ” “Yushan is currently in closed-door cultivation, so it’s impossible for him to come out. There are still seven days before I can break out of seclusion. At that time, I will definitely have a life and death battle with you.” He took out a small medicine bottle and threw it over, saying, ” “Besides, you’ve also suffered some injuries from my urgent roar just now. This is a fourth-ranked healing medicine, enough for you to recover from your injuries within seven days, and your martial arts to advance another level. At that time, you can have a fair fight.”
On the surface, he had a calm expression, as if he was the leader of a noble family. In fact, he felt like a volcano was erupting in his heart, and his internal organs were almost burning. What made him even angrier was that after today’s incident, he could no longer openly deal with Yanwu, or he would have no proof.
“After the incident at Mount Meru, I’ll definitely uproot Yanwu. This li Yunxiao is going to be skinned alive, extracted for oil, and refined for bone!” He roared in his heart.
Yunxiao’s eyes shone with an imperceptible light. He took the small bottle and looked at it for a while, then snorted coldly and said, ” “I don’t feel safe using the medicine you gave me.”
“I’m the head of the Zhou family, why would I harm you?” Zhou yangbiao sneered.
then why did you want to take my life with a roar just now? ” Yunxiao asked in a choked voice. what happened? ”
Zhou yangbiao’s face turned purple in anger.”You’re so silly!”
Yunxiao cupped his fists at the people around him and said, ” “Are there any alchemists here? Can you help me test if the medicine is poisonous? I’m afraid that this despicable Zhou family will try to harm me! Please help me!”
The people of the Zhou family were so angry that they almost fell from the sky. They gritted their teeth and were about to go crazy. In the past thousands of years, the Zhou family had never been provoked like this!
“Let me take a look.”
An old man walked out of the crowd and looked at Yunxiao with Starry Eyes, which were full of shock and complicated emotions.
“Master Baili! It’s actually master Baili!” There was a commotion in the crowd.
Baili gongjin was the president of the firecrow Empire’s Alchemist Association and a sixth-tier Alchemist. In the firecrow Empire, he was a godlike existence!
Yunxiao was slightly taken aback, but then he smiled. Although he did not know Baili gongjin, he could sense the powerful soul power fluctuation from him. He was definitely a senior Alchemist.
“So it’s master Baili!”
“Thank you for your trouble, master!” Zhou yangbiao quickly stepped forward.
Baili gongjin nodded slightly, then glanced at Yunxiao and said, ” “I’ve heard about you from Yuan Hao. He told me how great you are. I didn’t believe it at first, but now that I’ve seen you, I can’t believe you’re even more powerful than he said.” He shook his head and sighed. sigh, the new waves of the Yangtze River surpass the old waves. We’re all old.
you’re flattering me, master Yuan Hao, ” Yunxiao chuckled. Master Baili, you’re too kind.”
Zhou yangbiao’s expression changed slightly. He knew that Yuan Hao had been there when they were in Tianshui. Hearing Baili gongjin’s praise, he was a little unhappy, so he changed the topic. “Master Baili, please verify the pill and prove it to the Zhou family.”
It had always been the Zhou family who bullied others. When had they ever been bullied by others? Furthermore, he was bullied to the point of swallowing his pride and begging for justice. Zhou yangbiao felt like his lungs were about to explode!
