Chapter 299 Su Jiaru's Decisive and Resolute Actions
"Okay, wait for my news. I'll be back tonight if nothing unexpected happens."
After saying that, Zhang Zujun transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Su family.
Zhang Hongzhan looked up at the slowly rising sun in the east, his eyes filled with determination.
His Zhang family should take off now.
The first step is to unify the Penglai Islands.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot and flew towards the family's main hall.
We need to discuss this matter with the elders and the Chamber of Commerce.
……
Liuyun Mountain.
The Su family.
Su Zhengyi, the head of the Su family, sat in the family hall looking at the news in his hand.
His eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
"Azure Sea Immortal Sect! They've truly gone too far!"
During this period, the Su family's properties in the Penglai Islands, located in spiritually vital areas, were constantly attacked by bandit gangs.
The Su family's transport convoy was also hijacked multiple times, the goods they were transporting were stolen, and even the accompanying clansmen and family guards were brutally murdered.
The Su family could only send people to carry out the strangulation.
After clearing out several bandit groups, it was discovered that the bandits were all associated with disciples of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.
It's not that they're stupid or incapable of hiding; it's that they have no intention of hiding at all.
They'll admit it if you ask.
There have even been instances in the Ziyun Mountains and Qingming Mountains where Su family disciples were killed by disciples of the Bihai Immortal Sect.
They also gave their names.
They used to pretend, but now they don't even bother anymore.
"Damn it! Even if my entire Su family is wiped out, I won't let you get away with this!"
Just as he was pondering how to take revenge, the voice of the gatekeeper outside the palace interrupted his thoughts.
"Clan leader, Master Zhang Tianhuo has come to visit."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengyi frowned slightly.
A bad feeling arose in my heart.
While it's unclear what it's about, it's definitely not something to show off.
The fact that Master Tianhuo came to the Su family so soon after breaking through to the Golden Core stage means something big must have happened.
No hesitation.
His figure flashed and disappeared from the main hall, then appeared outside the mountain gate the next moment.
Looking at Zhang Zujun, who had regained his middle-aged appearance and exuded a deep aura, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.
The two are about the same age, so they can be considered peers.
The other party has successfully broken through and is on the path to the Great Dao, while I have only managed to condense a false core and am stuck here.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhang, on reaching the Golden Core stage! The Great Dao is within your reach."
Su Zhengyi's tone was somewhat complicated, but mostly he was happy, after all, Zhang Zujun's breakthrough had a significant deterrent effect on the Bihai Immortal Sect.
Hearing Su Zhengyi's compliment, Zhang Zujun did not show any smugness.
He humbly replied, "It was just luck. I'm only a low-grade Golden Core cultivator. To advance further would be extremely difficult."
Logically speaking, I should congratulate Su Zhengyi on condensing a fake pill.
After all, even a fake core is still considered a golden core, far superior to those cultivators who failed to break through.
But he knew he couldn't, since he had successfully broken through, and it would be troublesome if the other party misunderstood what he said.
Having served as clan leader for so many years, Su Zhengyi naturally knew what Zhang Zujun meant by those words.
He smiled.
This old guy has changed a lot. He used to never care about anything and would just blurt things out.
He changed the subject, saying, "Haha, even the worst one is better than my fake pill."
Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.
May I ask what brings you here today, Brother Zhang?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zujun did not respond immediately.
Look around.
"I have come here to find out what attitude Senior Su or the Su family has towards the Azure Sea Immortal Sect."
However, this is not the place to talk.
Seeing Zhang Zujun's serious expression, Su Zhengyi felt a chill run down his spine.
Something must have happened.
He cast a minor spell to inform the ancestor, then said, "Come with me."
After saying that, he turned and headed towards the welcoming hall.
Zhang Zujun didn't hesitate and started following.
Now the Zhang family and the Su family are in the same boat, and they are not afraid of the other side causing trouble.
As soon as they stepped into the welcoming hall, Su Jiaru's hunched figure appeared behind them.
"Ancestor."
"Senior Su."
The two men turned around and bowed respectfully to him.
Although Zhang Zujun has now entered the Golden Core stage, he did not become arrogant in the slightest and bowed to Su Jiaru.
Seeing this, Su Jiaru nodded inwardly.
The Zhang family has indeed changed a lot.
Therefore, after she left, the Su family sought refuge with the Zhang family, and as long as they didn't do anything foolish, they would most likely not suffer any injustice.
He nodded slightly and said, "No need for formalities."
Fellow Daoist Zhang has now entered the Golden Core stage; I am unworthy of the title of Senior.
From now on, we can address each other as fellow Daoists.
"Then this junior will accept the offer without being impolite."
As they were talking, Su Jiaru took her seat in the main seat, while Su Zhengyi and Zhang Zujun sat in the secondary seats on either side.
"I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Zhang to my Su family today?" Su Jiaru asked the same question as Su Zhengyi.
This time, Zhang Zujun didn't keep her in suspense. Looking at Su Jiaru, he said:
"My Zhang family has received news that the Azure Sea Immortal Sect will launch a night attack on the Su family in a month."
Furthermore, it is speculated that the old ghost Canghun may have already broken through to the peak of the Golden Core stage.
I have come here today to discuss countermeasures with the Su family.
After all, our two families are now in the same boat, aren't we?
hum!
The moment they heard Zhang Zujun's first words, Su Jiaru and Su Zhengyi stood up abruptly.
A buzzing sound echoed in my mind.
Neither of them heard what Zhang Zujun said afterward.
After a long while, Su Jiaru chuckled softly.
The silence inside the hall was broken.
"Hehe, it's good, it's good to be free sooner."
I'm tired too.
After sighing for a moment, Su Jiaru turned her gaze to Zhang Zujun, already guessing his purpose.
He slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have only one question, and I ask you to answer truthfully."
Zhang Zujun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely say what I can."
Su Jiaru nodded, a glimmer of light appearing in her cloudy eyes.
He asked, "Does the Zhang family harbor ambitions to unify the Penglai Islands?"
Zhang Zujun was taken aback; this question was truly unexpected.
However, I answered truthfully: "Yes."
Upon hearing this word, Su Jiaru smiled.
It's fine as long as it's there.
This proves that the Zhang family will fight the Bihai Immortal Sect to the end.
This proves that the Su family's allegiance to the Zhang family is a promising prospect.
"Alright, my Su family is willing to submit to the Zhang family and become a subordinate family of the Zhang family from now on."
As a pledge of loyalty, I will burn my golden core a month later to severely damage the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, thus reducing obstacles for the Zhang family to unify the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.
how?"
Rather than waiting for the other party to ask, it's better to take the initiative and speak up, which will not only preserve one's dignity but also demonstrate the Su family's determination.
Zhang Zujun looked at Su Jiaru in disbelief.
Then he turned his attention to Su Zhengyi.
The Su family has allied themselves with the Zhang family?!
The Su family was surprisingly decisive!
This huge family business was given up so easily.
