dead body search

Chapter 408
In the early morning of the next day, the outer fort of the Zhou Family Fort, where the mortals of the Zhou family lived, was already buzzing with people
All the streets and alleys, taverns and teahouses everywhere spread the news, countless people talked about it, and some even didn't even care about the food and drink.

"Elder Zhou Rupeng wants to compete with the young master Zhou Chengyong for the position of the Patriarch of the Zhou family?"

"I heard that this duel was hosted by Zhifei and Zhixian, two elders, and real people in the Excalibur Gate Auditorium watched the ceremony."

"This is a rare grand occasion! But this battle is related to the future honor and disgrace of the Zhou family. It's okay if the young master wins. If he loses, then the Zhou family will fall into a side branch."

"That's right! The young master is the only heir of the Zhou family, so why not him!"

The mortals of the Zhou family who live in the outer castle recognize the concubines more, only the direct blood can inherit the Zhou family, not the collateral blood!
The most important thing for a Xiuxian family is the bloodline. If the bloodline stands firm, the whole family can be united. If there is no distinction between the son and the concubine, not to mention the Xiuxian family, even ordinary mortal families will fall apart due to property disputes.

Therefore, almost all mortals, even low-level qi refining monks, supported Zhou Chengyong to become the new generation of Zhou Family Patriarch.

It is different from the excitement of the outer castle.

There was silence in the inner castle.

The senior monks of the Zhou family don't recognize blood at all, they only recognize one thing: strength!

They will listen to whoever has the strength to lead the Zhou family out of the predicament, it's as simple as that.

Zhou Chengyong is only a monk in the Qi refining period, he has no strength at all, but his mother has it, his uncle has it!
For example, Zhao Yugou's surname is not even Zhou, just because he has the potential to hit Jindan and is related to the Zhou family, the two elders of the Zhou family took the initiative to stand up to support Zhou Chengyong and Zhou Rupeng's duel in the arena.

The Zhou family cannot be split, let alone fall into the hands of incompetent people.

As for who is the owner?

Not important at all!
Just like the head of the Xiuxian sect, but he is just a person who arranges people and handles errands.

As for the opinions of the mortals of the Zhou family, let alone worry about it.

……

In the largest garden in the Inner Fort, a huge arena carved out of stone stood in it, surrounded by stands of various kinds.

The highest stand.

Sun Yuanhua, the elder of the Divine Sword Sect Auditorium, sat on a wooden chair, and behind him stood two disciples of the Divine Sword Sect Auditorium.

One of these two disciples was holding an unlit gilt soul lamp, and the other was holding a golden book and jade book.

The two elders of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhifei and Zhou Zhixian, sat on the chairs on either side of Sun Yuanhua.

The rest of the Zhou family's Foundation Establishment period clansmen sat on both sides. As for the elders of the Zhou family's management classroom, they watched the battle from other stands.

On the ring, Zhou Chengyong stood proudly in a green suit, with his eyes closed and his face indifferent, as if he didn't care about what was about to happen.

Unlike in the past, Zhou Chengyong had a small gourd hanging around his waist, and nothing else.

He is still the 15-year-old boy with only the sixth level of Qi Refining.

At this age, this level of cultivation is actually quite good, and the establishment of the foundation can be said to be a certainty.

"This is the young master of the Zhou family? You are so gracious!"

"The future successor of the Zhou family is truly unmatched!"

"That's right! Zhou Chengyong, the genius boy of the Zhou family, is going to be in the limelight today!"

"Zhou Chengyong has a great chance this time! After all, the Zhou family only has his direct bloodline!"

"Does Zhou Chengyong have this hope? He only has the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the opponent he has to face is the mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

"So what about the middle stage of foundation establishment? Zhou Chengyong is not an ordinary person, he is a genius of our Zhou family in Tianyun City, and he is the future successor of our Zhou family!"

Under the arena, there were many discussions, and many people were full of confidence in Zhou Chengyong.

The highest stand.

While sipping tea, Sun Yuanhua said with great interest: "It is not impossible for the Qi refining stage to defeat the foundation building stage. A powerful third-order talisman is enough. It's just a pity, such a talisman."

"My Zhou family's family rules are very strict. It is impossible for the third-order talisman to fall into Zhou Chengyong's hands." Zhou Zhifei said.

"That must have been obtained by Zhao Suya from the outside." Sun Yuanhua said in a firm tone.

"What if he doesn't use the talisman?" Zhou Zhixian said.

Sun Yuanhua suddenly got excited: "If he can defeat Zhou Rupeng in the middle stage of foundation establishment without using the third-order talisman, then he is my Divine Sword Sect, no! He is an outstanding genius in the entire immortal cultivation world."

"Zhou Rupeng is here!" Zhou Zhixian said.

The three stopped talking, whether Zhou Chengyong had a third-order talisman, or whether he was an ancient genius in the world of immortality, the answer would be revealed immediately.

Zhou Rupeng was wearing a black robe with a long sword on his back. He looked about 40 years old, with a stern face and a cold killing intent in his eyes. He walked over with every step, like a huge boulder pressing down on the ground.

Zhou Chengyong, standing on the ring, opened his eyes and said loudly: "Zhou Rupeng, do you dare to compete with me?"

Zhou Rupeng showed a sneer and said, "Zhou Chengyong, the old man has already found out your support, isn't it the five foundation-building monks of the Xuanyang Sect, you expect them to protect you, hahahaha... stupid! They dare to make a move here today, My monks from the Zhou family will chop them into pieces!"

Hearing that Zhou Chengyong didn't panic at all, he just sneered and said, "Zhou Rupeng, today I want to defeat you openly on the ring, and Sect Leader Liu is just here to watch the battle."

The voice just fell.

A disciple of the Zhou family screamed: "Xuanyang Sect head Liu Heng, elders Hou Dongsheng, Suzaku, Yue Ningxue, Li Yueer came to watch the ceremony."

Accompanied by the appearance of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Xuanyang Sect, Zhao Suya, Zhao Yugou, and Zhao Yuqu, who had been present earlier, stood up to welcome them.

Zhou Zhixian and Zhou Zhifei looked solemn.

Counting Yue Ningxue, the Widow Sect already had two late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, and that Yue Ningxue looked extremely young, and seemed to have a better chance of advancing to Jindan than Zhao Yugou.

This little bastard Zhou Chengyong is not afraid of himself! ?

unreasonable!
His base is not Xuanyangzong.

What exactly is that?
Could it be that it is really a Tier [-] talisman?
If so, then he died too unjustly.

"Second Uncle! So many clansmen are watching, and the master of the Divine Sword Gate Auditorium is here, you won't back down, will you?" On the ring, Zhou Chengyong said in a mocking tone.

Hearing this, Zhou Rupeng suddenly became angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Chengyong, you little bastard! If that's the case, then let's have a contest!"

Say it.

Zhou Rupeng turned over and jumped onto the ring. He patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a black long sword from it. The whole body of this long sword was dark, with lines engraved on its surface, and it exuded a faint evil aura.

Zhou Rupeng was already ready for a thunderous blow, but Zhou Chengyong had his hands behind his back, calm and calm.

Judging from the two only in terms of tolerance, it is a judgment call.

"Open the restriction!" A Zhou family monk shouted loudly.

on the ring.

The black prohibition pattern flickered, and the invisible light covered the entire arena.

Now it is impossible to escape and escape. This is an endless fight to the death.

Now the Zhou family has reached the verge of life and death. There is no ancestor to sit in the town, and there is no patriarch to lead the family. The whole is a mess!
For the hundreds of thousands of members of the entire Zhou family, only one of these two people can live today. This is a fight to the death!Never die!
Zhou Zhifei stood up, raised his hands and shouted: "Today, Zhou Rupeng will face Zhou Chengyong. The final battle in the arena will determine the ownership of the head of the Zhou family. Winners and losers, life and death don't matter. Now I declare that the duel begins!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Rupeng could not wait to swing his sword.

"Little beast! Die!" Zhou Rupeng roared angrily, swung the long sword in his hand, and immediately countless black mist gushed out from the long sword, turned into black snakes, and rushed towards Zhou Chengyong.

Seeing this, Zhou Chengyong frowned slightly, and remained motionless as if he had been frightened.

However, the gourd around his waist sprayed out streams of sword energy, cutting off the black snakes in an instant.

"That gourd can emit foundation-building sword energy! What kind of treasure is it?" Sun Yuanhua stood up in shock, clenched his fists.

Zhou Zhifei, Zhou Zhixian and others also stood up.

A piece of magic weapon can make Qi-refinement-level monks compete with foundation-builder monks.

"Could it be the ultimate magic weapon!?"

"No! The best magic weapon can't do it, maybe it's a magic weapon."

"Can a mere monk in the Qi refining period sacrifice magic weapons?"

"It can only be said to be a strange thing!"

on the ring.

On the contrary, Zhou Rupeng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhou Chengyong didn't find out a third-order talisman to kill himself, he would be able to do nothing to him with his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation establishment, even the magic gourd.

"Hahaha, Zhou Chengyong, it turns out that this broken gourd is your hole card, bastard, I made your second uncle jump!" Zhou Rupeng laughed arrogantly.

Zhou Chengyong said expressionlessly: "This is called the Flying Sword Gourd, and it is a psychic magic weapon. I! Zhou Chengyong is the only owner of this magic weapon. Today I will let you experience the terrifying power of this treasure!"

Before the words were finished, the Flying Sword Gourd sprayed out endless sword energy, completely covering the entire space, and a fierce momentum shot straight into the sky.

"Hmph! If you want to win me with a gourd, don't even think about it!" Zhou Rupeng snorted coldly, and with a sway of his body, he stabbed out with a long sword in his hand.

a time.

Endless sword lights interweave and converge in the air, forming a dense net.

Flying Sword Gourd's attack power is very strong, but its speed is far behind Zhou Rupeng.

"Boom!"

Zhou Chengyong's gourd sword energy collided with Zhou Rupeng's black sword light, and a violent explosion sounded, as if thunder was exploding in the air, and the whole space shook violently.

The violent explosion completely imprisoned him in the arena by the formation. Zhou Chengyong's face was flushed, obviously he had suffered internal injuries.

The physical body of a monk in the Qi refining period is not much stronger than that of ordinary people, so naturally he cannot withstand the aftermath of a battle at the foundation level.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Rupeng was ecstatic in his heart.

"Hahaha, trash! Let me see how you still use the flying sword gourd to kill me!" Zhou Rupeng laughed loudly, "Today, you will definitely die!"

"boom"

There was another loud noise, Zhou Rupeng's sword light and the sword energy of the flying sword gourd collided again, and with a bang, the sword energy of the flying sword gourd was completely shattered, and Zhou Rupeng's black sword light rushed forward, directly He rushed towards Zhou Chengyong who was standing still.

A golden shield of light suddenly appeared, calmly blocking the blow.

"The Great Vajra Defensive Talisman! You are really willing to spend money!" Zhou Rupeng mocked.

"But what's so reluctant about a few hundred spirit stones?" Zhou Chengyong took another healing talisman and a diamond shield talisman for himself, so that the aftermath of the battle would not affect him in any way.

"Huh! It seems that the old man underestimated you." Zhou Rupeng snorted coldly, flicked his fingers, and the black flying sword in his hand came out, and it turned around in mid-air. Zhou Chengyong came with a slash.

The power of the sword light alone was too weak, so Zhou Rupeng decided to use the flying sword to slash and kill the target with the sword light!

Zhou Chengyong's face remained unchanged, and he slapped the storage bag again, and the second King Kong defensive talisman appeared in his hand.

Do you think that a mere Donkey Kong defense talisman can stop it! ?

Zhou Rupeng sneered, his eyes were full of contempt. In his opinion, Zhou Chengyong, who only knew how to defend with talismans, was doomed.

boom!
A flying sword shot out from the gourd. At the beginning, the flying sword didn't show any light, and the speed of the sword was not fast. It was like a small fish swimming slowly, but after three breaths, the light of the sword skyrocketed, and the speed of the sword became faster and faster. In an instant, Jian Guang has turned into a roaring giant dragon, with the mighty power to destroy everything that cannot be stopped.

Kill the dragon!
The magnificent fish-dragon sword light collided with the black sword light, and the two separated instantly, the black sword light dissipated, and the fish-dragon sword light won a complete victory, beheading Zhou Rupeng with unparalleled momentum.

"How is it possible!?" Zhou Rupeng's eyes widened, looking like a ghost.

"No, back quickly!" Zhou Rupeng shouted in panic.

It's a pity that this is in the arena of life and death!
Zhou Rupeng found that he had no choice but to retreat. He never thought that he would fall into the hands of this junior.

The Fish and Dragon Slash is approaching, sharp and piercing!

Zhou Chengyong showed a sinister smile: "Zhou Rupeng, you old thief, you will definitely die today."

I saw the golden light flickering, and a golden mask instantly expanded, protecting Zhou Rupeng in it. Facing the power of Fish and Dragon Slash, Zhou Rupeng actually sacrificed a Great Vajra defensive talisman.

Yulong Zhan slashed heavily on the light shield, and violent sparks and air waves erupted. Under a huge force, Zhou Rupeng also retreated ten steps in a row before stopping.

Whoosh...

"Go to hell!" Zhou Chengyong rushed towards Zhou Rupeng holding the flying sword gourd in his hand. The gourd couldn't help spraying sword energy from its mouth, and it was mixed with two high-grade flying swords.

Top-grade flying sword: Sea Piercing Sword.

Top-grade flying sword: Spirit Explosion Sword.

At this time, the mask of the Great Vajra Defense Talisman had just dissipated, and the gourd sword energy had already struck Zhou Rupeng.

Although Zhou Rupeng didn't have a flying sword in his hand, it exuded a pitch-black sword light.

"Die!"

Zhou Rupeng made seals with both hands, and said softly, "The sword energy crosses the world, and the sword glow protects my Dharma body."

bang bang bang...

The sword energy hit Zhou Rupeng's body like rain hitting plantains.

But the next moment.

Cut the waves with one sword, and never return the blow!

puff.

Half of the high-grade flying sword piercing sea sword was inserted into Zhou Rupeng's stomach, and Zhou Rupeng showed a painful expression on his face.

"You can't kill me!" Zhou Rupeng only had time to spit out this sentence.

The second high-grade flying sword, Lingburst Sword, followed the trend and penetrated into Zhou Rupeng's body.

Comes with supernatural power: spiritual explosion.

Boom.

The spiritual explosion exploded, and Zhou Rupeng's body was also shattered into pieces, turning into blood mist.

"Hahahaha...Zhou Rupeng, I said you will definitely die today!" Zhou Chengyong laughed wildly.

The blood all over the sky sprinkled on Zhou Chengyong's face and body, making his wild laughter even more ferocious.

Under the arena, Zhou Rupeng's two sons, Zhou Yunfei and Zhou Yuntao, were pale and trembling, their eyes filled with fear and disbelief!
At this moment, it seems that time has stood still.

Zhou Yunfei clenched his hands into fists, his nails were embedded in his flesh, and blood flowed down the back of his hands.

Zhou Yuntao was not much better either, his whole body was stiff, trembling all over, and his legs were weak.

They couldn't figure it out that the father, who had the upper hand, was defeated in an instant, and his body was crushed to pieces.

"Brother, run!" Zhou Yuntao said with trembling lips.

Zhou Yunfei quickly calmed down, he nodded and pulled his younger brother away.

Father has already made the worst plan!

Seizing the heirloom failed.

The new head of the family, Zhou Chengyong, will never let them go. How can there be any family affection in the Xiuxian family?

"Hahahahahahaha"

Crazy laughter resounded from the arena, and Zhou Chengyong's laughter filled his ears like a devil's voice, piercing his heart!

The old Zhou Zhixian stood up and shouted loudly: "After the competition in the ring, the new head of the Zhou family is Zhou Chengyong, enter the family tree!"

"Xuanyangzong Liu Heng, congratulations to the young master on being crowned the family throne." Liu Heng took the lead and shouted.

"Second room Zhou Zhifeng, congratulations to the young master on being crowned the Patriarch."

"Sanfang Zhou Zhi'an, congratulations to the young master for ascending the throne of Patriarch."

"Sifang Zhou Zhiping, congratulations to the young master on being crowned the Patriarch."

……

Congratulations sounded from all directions, everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy, and the sad person had already left silently
Standing on the ring, Zhou Chengyong glanced at the people around him. He knew that from today onwards, he was the real head of the clan.

"Everyone, Chengyong thank you for taking care of my Zhou family. Chengyong will try his best to repay your kindness in the future!" Zhou Chengyong said with his fists clasped.

Many clan elders returned their gifts one after another.

Zhou Chengyong continued: "I hope that everyone here can work together to control the Zhou family together, and not let the Zhou family fall into internal strife, and don't let the Zhou family go to the road of extinction."

"Don't worry, young master, I will swear allegiance to the death!"

"Swear allegiance to the death!"

"Swear allegiance to the death!"

Everyone complied.

Amidst the praise and praise of the clansmen, Zhou Chengyong stepped down from the arena proudly and came in front of Sun Yuanhua, a monk in the Excalibur Gate Auditorium.

Zhou Chengyong knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice: "Zhou Chengyong, the head of the Zhou family, pay homage to the master, and ask the master to canonize you."

Sun Yuanhua stood up, cupped his fists and said loudly, "Ring the bell! Please Yudie."

As his words fell, the bells of the entire Zhou family's ancestral hall rang rumblingly, resounding throughout the Zhou family!
This is a very solemn ceremony.

Holding the jade butterfly in both hands, Zhou Chengyong walked into the Zhou family ancestral hall with his head held high, while another monk in the auditorium followed behind holding a flowing golden soul lamp.

Enshrining the jade butterfly on the ancestral hall means that the Zhou family in Tianji City is a second-level power recognized by the Divine Sword Sect. On the jade butterfly, the Zhou family's influence map and proven resource points are inscribed.

If the forces outside the Divine Sword Sect want to compete for the resources of the Zhou family, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the Divine Sword Sect. However, if the forces inside the Divine Sword Sect can seize the power of the Zhou family through the channel of the Divine Sword Sect.

After all, the Zhou family has become a town without a Jindan real person, and this kind of power belongs to the soft persimmons among the second-level powers.

After enshrining the jade butterfly.

Under the auspices of the monks in the auditorium, Zhou Chengyong lit the gilded soul lamp.

The monk in the auditorium of the soul lamp did not take it away, but stayed in the family according to the rules.

According to the rules of the Divine Sword Sect, generally only the soul lamps of Jindan Daoist people must stay in the Divine Sword Sect. If there are several Jindan Daoist people, they must keep a few soul lamps to show the absolute power of the Divine Sword Sect to the subordinate second-level forces. Take control.

As for the soul lamps of the heads of the clans, it is not important. From the perspective of Shenjianmen, the clan heads are just a facade. Zhang San can be selected today, and Wang Wu can be selected tomorrow.

If there is no ancestor of Jindanqi, the elders will decide everything in the family.

If the Zhou family does not have the ancestor of Jindan to sit in the town for a long time, it is afraid that it will be completely swallowed up by the other two soon, and it is hard to say whether it can continue to exist.
