"Make a peace!"
"Master!"
"Hey, he's back!"
"Haha, he disappeared when the family needed him. Now that the situation has been decided, he shows up. Zhao Chonghe is indeed very smart."
Zhao Sheng turned a deaf ear to the discussions of his clansmen.
Due to their limited vision, these members of the Zhao family have no idea how much effort their head of the family has put in for the future of the entire Zhao family.
Of course, Zhao Sheng didn't care about these criticisms. They were all his descendants, so the old man had the magnanimity to tolerate them.
Zhao Sheng walked up to Zhao Jinding and said calmly, "Second Grandpa, we are back!"
Zhao Jinding looked at Zhao Sheng and then at Zhao Jinjian, whose expression changed drastically, and seemed to realize something in an instant.
He looked excited and said in a trembling voice: "Jin Jian, he succeeded!"
Zhao Sheng smiled and nodded.
Zhao Jinjian then stepped forward, emitting the aura of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator as he spoke, "Second brother, thank you for your concern! With the blessing of our ancestors, I have fulfilled my mission."
Buzz!
With a sound of sword ringing, the spiritual weapon Red Rainbow Sword soared into the sky, and its blazing light grew wildly to three feet long. In a flash, it circled the field three times like lightning, and finally hovered above Zhao Jinjian's head.
Spiritual weapon!
Foundation-building cultivator!
"Oh my God, could it be!"
When everyone in the Zhao family saw the scene, their hearts trembled and they were inexplicably excited.
When the Zhao family was in danger of extinction, a member of the foundation-building clan unexpectedly appeared.
The ancestor appeared!
At this moment, Zhao Jinpeng suddenly rushed to Zhao Jinjian with a flushed face and shouted excitedly: "Cousin? You are my cousin Zhao Jinjian?!"
At this moment, Zhao Jinpeng was so excited that he couldn't even express it in words.
You have to know that he and Zhao Jinjian are the closest cousins, and their fathers are biological brothers.
Zhao Jinjian looked at the excited old man in front of him, and then he remembered that he seemed to be his cousin Zhao Jinpeng.
So, he nodded and said, "So it's Lao Liu! We brothers haven't seen each other for decades! After this matter is over today, let's catch up."
"Yeah, what my cousin said is right." Zhao Jinpeng agreed repeatedly, and in an instant his back became straighter than before.
Cough cough!
Zhao Jingang suddenly coughed twice, forcing a smile onto his old face. He said to Zhao Jinjian, "Fourth Brother, when did you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage? Why didn't you inform the family earlier about such great news?"
Zhao Jinjian's expression faded, and he said calmly, "Third brother, compared to the big event of our family moving to the Shattered Star Sea, my advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage is nothing."
Zhao Jingang paused when he heard this, and could not say anything else.
With just one sentence, Zhao Jinjian clearly stated his position.
It has to be said that as the only foundation-building cultivator of the Zhao family, Zhao Jinjian's words carry too much weight.
Just this one sentence immediately shook the positions of most people.
In the crowd of the second room, Chen Zichuan stopped talking with Zhao Keqin and looked at Zhao Jinjian, but he did not step forward. Instead, he gave Zhao Keqin a look.
Seeing this, Zhao Keqin sighed inwardly and had to bite the bullet and walk out.
no way!
In order to get the foundation-building pill that Chen Zichuan promised, he must try his best, not to mention that he has a trump card in his hand.
He walked to the center of the hall, looked directly at Zhao Jinpeng, bowed, and said happily, "Congratulations, Fourth Uncle, on your advancement to Foundation Establishment. You've returned just in time, as the family relocation is a major undertaking that will be presided over by you."
Zhao Jinjian chuckled and said, "Keqin, I haven't seen you for decades, and you're still as cunning as you were when we were little. When did I agree to this?"
Zhao Keqin explained: "Uncle, you may not know, Longli -"
"Hmph, there's no need to say more. I'm fully aware of all the causes and consequences. Although the family is moving away from Longli Lake, it doesn't necessarily have to go to the Broken Star Sea."
When Zhao Keqin heard this, his face changed drastically and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Jinjian disdained to explain. He looked back at the head of the family and then took a step back.
This retreat immediately made Zhao Sheng stand out.
This same retreat clearly showed who was the leader and who was the follower between the two.
None of the Zhao family members who can appear in Tongxin Hall at this time are fools.
Countless clues could be seen from this action alone. Because of this, they were all shocked and their eyes towards Zhao Sheng changed instantly.
Zhao Sheng smiled faintly, took a step forward, and said loudly: "If the Ziyang Sect wants to take back Longli Lake, then let them take it back. Our Zhao family will not be displaced. Because our family already has a new sacred land in southern Xinjiang."
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a sensation in the whole audience.
Among the Zhao family, some were ecstatic, some were half-believing, and some were angry and embarrassed.
Zhao Jingang's eyes widened in anger as he pointed at Zhao Sheng and demanded, "Nonsense! How dare you, a young boy, speak so rudely? If this delays the family's important affairs, you, Zhao Chonghe, will die!"
Seeing the other party lose his composure, Zhao Sheng thought to himself: "There are so many things you don't know! When I gave birth to your ancestor, you didn't even know where you were. My ancestor is very magnanimous, so I won't..."
Bang!
A bronze token was thrown at Zhao Jingang's face.
"Open your old eyes and see what this is?" Zhao Sheng said coldly.
Although the centenary orders of Zi Yang Sect and Dan Ding Sect differ slightly in details, they are generally the same.
Moreover, the Hundred Year Order was personally refined by a Jindan-level weapon refining master, and it cannot be fake.
Zhao Jingang took it in his hand, took a look at it, and touched it, and his heart suddenly sank.
The texture and feel of this token are exactly the same as the one enshrined in the ancestral hall.
"So, he didn't lie."
Zhao Jingang suddenly recalled the years of compromise and the large amount of spirit stones he had personally given away.
At this moment, he felt like he was going crazy.
Zhao Jingang gripped the Hundred Years Order tightly, veins bulging on his hands, and his old face unconsciously revealed a terrifying expression, looking like a ghost.
When Zhao Keqin saw this scene, he suddenly felt a pang of fear and his heart sank.
At the same time, Chen Zichuan noticed that something was wrong and secretly shook his head, cursing: "They are all trash! It seems I have to take action myself."
He pushed aside the people blocking his way and walked up to Zhao Sheng, Zhao Jinjian and others with a swagger.
After a slight smile, Chen Zichuan said with a warm face: "First of all, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhao for advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. The Zhao family has gained another two hundred years of good fortune. It is truly a cause for celebration!"
"I dare not! Fellow Daoist Chen is a top disciple of Ziyang Sect and a senior in the foundation-building stage. I, Zhao, dare not accept Fellow Daoist Chen's congratulations in person!" Zhao Jinjian's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he bowed.
Chen Zichuan didn't respond, but went straight to the point: "The Zhao family has acquired a new sacred land in southern Xinjiang, which is a great thing. But I have a few things to say. I wonder if you would be willing to listen to me."
"Senior Chen, please feel free to speak." Zhao Sheng said with a smile.
He had already figured out that the person who instigated the second branch to move to the Broken Star Sea was none other than the scheming Chen Zichuan.
However, this move vaguely fits into a plan in his mind.
In a flash, countless thoughts came to Zhao Sheng's mind.
