Chapter 562 Speculation!
Xuanxiao Mountain.
The family hall.
Zhang Xuanchen and the other elders and hall masters sat upright in their respective positions.
Sitting on the throne of the family head, seeing that only six of the original nine elders' seats were occupied, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
My eyes welled up with tears.
The First Elder, Zhang Zujun, broke through to the Golden Core stage and relinquished his position as elder.
However, the Sixth Elder Zhang Zongqian and the Fourth Elder Zhang Zuan have left us forever.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Turning to look at the Second Elder Zhang Guangyao, he said:
"Second Elder, please recount the events that have occurred in the family over the years."
"Yes, clan chief."
Zhang Guangyao replied and then briefly described what had happened during the four years that Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang had been away from their clan.
In order to find a way to break through the barrier, Zhang Chongxian left his family and went to the Desolate Ruins of Meteorite Gold.
Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing went to the Dark Night Forest to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Later, a conflict arose between the Radiant Sun Sword Leaf Grass and the Dew Condensation Sect, the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, and the Cloud Dream Jiang Clan.
The Fourth Elder died in battle, and Zhang Xuance, with Xiao Tao's help, successfully awakened the Starry Sword Body.
The three major forces joined forces and marched into the Penglai Islands, using both threats and inducements against the various factions on the islands.
They wanted to gradually dismantle the Zhang family from within.
Fortunately, Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing returned in time, quelled the internal strife, and killed all the traitors.
Then the Azure Sea Secret Realm opened, and various forces and independent cultivators gathered in Yunhua Immortal City.
The family's business has been booming in recent years, with an annual net income of over two million low-grade spirit stones.
……
"Chief, these are all the important events that have occurred in the past four years."
All other minor matters have been resolved.” After saying this, Zhang Guangyao fell silent.
Quietly watching Zhang Xuanchen, who was sitting in the main seat deep in thought.
After a moment, Zhang Xuanchen spoke:
Before I became a Hui Muslim... I heard something.
The Immortal Ancestor has perished.
Is this true...?
Zhang Xuanchen's voice trembled slightly. Although the ancient records stated that the summit of Tianhen was a place of certain death, he still wanted to confirm it.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Hongzhan then spoke:
"Clan leader, the life tablet containing the soul fire of the Immortal Ancestor in the ancestral hall is intact."
The soul fire did not go out.
This proves that the Immortal Ancestor was not as rumored.
Perhaps, the Immortal Ancestor's extraordinary talent caught the eye of a powerful being in heaven, who then bestowed upon him his legacy.
"It's just that we can't return for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen abruptly stood up and exclaimed excitedly:
Is this really true?
"certainly!
Although all ancient books record that venturing into the ends of the earth is a death sentence, the Immortal Ancestor's Soul Fire Life Tablet was indeed intact.
The other forces had no way of knowing the situation of the Soulfire Life Tablet, so they assumed that the Immortal Ancestor had perished.
"Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the three major forces of the Ninglu Sect dared to join forces, coveting the Zhang family's heritage and treasure trove," Zhang Hongzhan said with certainty.
There was nothing they could do; the Zhang family had already spread the word that Zhang Chongxian had not perished.
But the other forces not only didn't believe it, they were even more certain of it.
What can we do?
Zhang Xuanchen was relieved to find that Zhang Chongxian's Soul Fire Life Tablet was not broken.
This proves that Zhang Chongxian may have simply stumbled into some forbidden area, or was trapped by some kind of formation and unable to get out.
"Good, it's good that the Immortal Ancestor is alright."
However, the Immortal Ancestor risked his life to enter the forbidden zone in search of an opportunity to break through his cultivation level.
It must be because he was humiliated at the Flying Feather Immortal Sect.
This feud can be considered settled.
Given the strength of the Flying Feather Immortal Sect, they must have received news of the Immortal Ancestor's death.
If Senior Chu is truly deeply in love with the Ancestor, he will surely clash with the sect's higher-ups.
The endless dispute resulted in the Feiyu Immortal Sect's higher-ups becoming enraged.
They sent people to cause trouble for my Zhang family.
This is just my personal speculation, but we should still be wary of it.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zujun thought about it and realized that such a possibility did exist.
A hint of worry crept onto his face:
"Chieftain, since this is possible, we should make preparations as soon as possible."
They secretly sent some of the most talented younger members of the clan out of the Zhang family.
In this way, even if something happens to the Zhang family...
It won't lead to the loss of the tradition.
It wasn't that he was boosting the morale of others while diminishing his own, but rather that a hegemonic force like the Flying Feather Immortal Sect, with its tens of thousands of years of history, could easily destroy the Zhang family without breaking a sweat.
Not only him, but the other elders and hall masters also stood up and expressed their agreement.
They may die, but the Zhang family tradition must not be broken!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen simply waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.
After sitting back down in his seat, he finally spoke:
"Please don't panic, things haven't gotten to that point yet."
I obtained many good things in the Starry Sky Realm this time.
With the life-saving trump card given by Brother Wu, even if the Feiyu Immortal Sect sends a Nascent Soul cultivator, they can still repel it.
Moreover, secret realms have now appeared in all four major sea areas.
All major powers are focused on the secret realm.
This naturally includes the Flying Feather Immortal Sect.
Moreover, at this time, the Zhang family was nothing more than a slightly larger ant in the eyes of the Flying Feather Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, since the Immortal Ancestor is "dead," it is impossible for him to take it too seriously.
Given the great distance, it's unlikely that those Nascent Soul stage monsters would personally take action against my Zhang family.
Therefore, there's no need to panic.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
He then cupped his hands and said:
"Understood."
If someone else had said this, they naturally wouldn't have believed it.
After all, that's the Flying Feather Immortal Sect.
But this is what Zhang Xuanchen said, so what is there to worry about?
"Mm." Zhang Xuanchen nodded.
He then looked thoughtful and said in a low voice:
"As for the three major forces..."
Which faction is leading them at this time?
"The Dew Condensation Sect," Zhang Hongzhan replied.
Upon hearing the words "Ninglu Sect," Zhang Xuanchen frowned slightly.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "There's a problem."
Although the Ninglu Sect has three Golden Core cultivators, the strongest among them is only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Although the Yunshan Sword Sect only has two, the Cangming True Person is at the late Golden Core stage and is a powerful figure of the same era as the Canghun True Person of the Bihai Immortal Sect.
How could I willingly submit to the arrangements of the Ninglu Sect?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall instantly understood.
Fifth Elder Zhang Guangli asked, "Clan leader, do you mean the Ninglu Sect has someone backing it?"
"That's right."
Zhang Xuanchen took a sip of the spiritual tea in his cup and continued:
"The Ninglu Sect simply cannot obtain the conditions that would make the Yunshan Sword Sect and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan willingly join them in destroying the Zhang family."
Especially after learning that Gou Fugui was employed by my Zhang family and seeing my mother's strength.
Even if there are seven Golden Core cultivators among them, it would still be extremely difficult for them to forcibly destroy the Zhang family.
The profits gained were far from enough to cover the losses.
Both the Yunshan Sword Sect and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan could have come up with this idea.
But why is it still like this?
It's highly likely that there's a powerful force behind all of this.
"Among the twenty-six Golden Core forces in the western region of the Tianlong Sea."
Only the Ice Palace, the Heavenly Luo Temple, and the royal family of Burning Heaven Island have the capability to achieve this.
"The Ice Palace and Tianluo Temple have virtually no connection with my Zhang family. On the contrary, the Wang family has a deep grievance against my Zhang family."
When the Azure Sea Immortal Sect attacked the Su family, the attitude of the Wang family patriarch was quite obvious.
That is, they do not want the Azure Sea Immortal Sect to unify the Penglai Islands.
Similarly, the same attitude applies to the Zhang family.
But my Zhang family has truly unified the country, which goes against the wishes of the Wang family.
Although they don't say it aloud, no one knows what they're really doing behind the scenes.
