As soon as the carriage entered Dingsin Prefecture city, Wang Yue noticed the restless atmosphere in the air.
There is an endless stream of warriors coming and going on the street, Blood Qi and strength are vaguely visible, it is a bit more intense than when Zheng Gaocè mentioned the treasure land.
Zheng Gaocè opened the car curtain and looked around for a moment, then was slightly startled. "This movement is not right...
"Could it be that Zhengyitian Sect is going to hold a conference in September, and the disciples from all the sects and sects have come out in advance to practice?"
His speculation was not without purpose. As the leader of the Han Sect, the conferences held by the Zhengyitian Sect have always attracted the attention of warriors all over the world, and regulations have been released. All warriors from Human Ranking or Earth Ranking can participate.
And each major sect also has powerful families and unique quotas.
Looking at the formation, this time it must be extraordinary.
Wang Yue nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the stall owners selling weapons on the street, the disciples of the sect walking together, and the children of the family who stopped to talk. Everyone's breath was calm, and they were obviously extraordinary people.
The carriage avoided the hustle and bustle of the city center and finally stopped in front of a vast house. A gold plaque with "Zheng Mansion" hung on the vermilion gate. Everyone who came in and out was Blood Qi profound, and Energy Refining Realm master-level warriors could be seen everywhere.
"Brother Zhou, I've wronged you."
When Zheng Gaocè got out of the car, there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Although I am Third Young Master in the mansion, I have not been recognized by the gods in the clan, and my right to speak in the mansion is limited."
Wang Yue immediately understood that he was worried that he would cause trouble in the house and make it difficult for him to live a good life.
He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm only staying here for a few days and will move out when I find a place to stay. I won't cause you any trouble." "
"Brother Zhou misunderstood!"
Zheng Gaocè's face straightened and his tone was sincere, "I definitely don't dislike you. You can stay as long as you want. I, Zheng Mansion, can still entertain friends."
"Speaking of which, I know a lot of people in the mansion, but not many people I brought back to the clan."
"After that, he took Wang Yue and stepped into the door."
The guard guarding the door quickly bowed and saluted. "I have seen Third Young Master."
His eyes briefly glanced at Wang Yue. Although he didn't say much, it showed a bit of scrutiny, and then he stepped aside to get out of the way.
As soon as I stepped into Inner Court, I was greeted by a delicate figure. The woman was wearing a light pink brocade dress, with a hint of charm in her eyebrows, and her gait was as light as a willow. She stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Gaocè's sleeves, and whispered softly, "Xiao Ce, where did you turn around again?"
"Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and exchange martial arts with peers in Zongsi? You have to run out."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently patted the dust on his body.
Zheng Gaocè looked away, not daring to look at the woman, and said awkwardly, "Auntie, I'm going out for a few days, don't scold her."
"I want to meet my wife, so I won't talk to you for now. Please help me make arrangements for my friends."
Before he finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the inner hall, as if something was chasing him behind him.
The woman looked at his back and smiled helplessly, then turned to look at Wang Yue, her eyes gentle but scrutinizing. "Don't be surprised, little friend, this child has been spoiled by me."
"My name is Jiang Zhiyun, and I am Xiaoce's aunt. I wonder where my little friend is from?"
"I am Zhou Xingwu, I have no family or sect."
Wang Yue slightly handed over his hand, and responded according to the words he had thought of before, "I ran into brother Gao Ce on the road, and thanks to his care, I came to the Zheng Mansion to bother me."
Jiang Zhiyun A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, whether it was hope or relief, then he calmed his expression and said softly, "Mr. Zhou, you're welcome."
"Please come with me and I will show you where you live."
Wang Yue was secretly frightened. Just when Jiang Zhiyun raised his hand to pat the dust away, he clearly noticed the Grandmaster realm Blood Qi circulating in the other party's body. Although he deliberately restrained himself, it was hard to conceal the thickness.
A woman who married Zheng Family has such a level of cultivation. Could it be that Zheng Family is an ancient family that Young Sect Master once mentioned that had hidden a lot of people, and now they took the opportunity to come out?
He followed Jiang Zhiyun as he walked in. The guards became increasingly dense along the way. There were dozens of steps at each post. The guards were calm and steady. The lowest was Energy Refining Realm. Among them, there were many Grandmaster realm masters patrolling in the dark.
Such a heavily guarded battle made Wang Yue sure that Zheng Family's background was not simple.
The two of them finally came to a secluded courtyard, where several sycamore trees were planted, and several warriors were sitting on stone tables sipping tea. Jiang Zhiyun stopped.
He whispered softly, "This is the place where important guests are entertained in the mansion. Mr. Zhou lived here first."
"There is a room Essence Chamber behind the door, which can be used for your daily practice. If you need help, just call the guards outside the courtyard."
Wang Yue nodded lightly. When he stepped into the small courtyard, several warriors in the courtyard cast surprised glances, but no one took the initiative to talk to them. They were all guests with different backgrounds and kept their distance from each other.
He didn't stop, walked straight up to the small building in the courtyard, and chose an empty room facing south to live.
Opening the window and looking across the courtyard wall, one could see a majestic pillar of essence rising vaguely from the depths of the Zheng Mansion, reaching into the sky. The concentration of the essence was not much worse than that of the Dragon Transformation Sect's Essence Chamber.
Wang Yue looked at the pillar of essence soaring into the sky, and his heart was shocked. Dragon Transformation Sect controlled the land of several prefectures, so that he could gather such rich essence. Could it be that Zheng Family could control the resources of several prefectures in Anzhou?
You must know that this is Anzhou where warriors from all over the world gather. There are many masters and powerful forces. To have such a foundation here, Zheng Family's strength is far stronger than he imagined.
He withdrew his gaze, rubbed the pass order sent by Xuan Zhifeng with his fingertips, and secretly made up his mind: During the temporary stay, he must keep a low profile, first use Essence Chamber to polish "Nine Eyes Condensing Net Chapter", and then try to find out the details of See God and Worship Me Method.
Careful planning condenses Incense Body.
On the other side, Zheng Gaocè quickly stepped into the study of the Zheng Mansion in the inner hall, bowed to the man in black robe sitting in front of the desk and saluted. "My dear."
The person behind the case was none other than the head of the Zheng Family, Zheng Tianxing. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with dark silver. He had a resolute face, and the aura around him was as deep as the sea. When he raised his eyes to look at his son.
His tone was calm but with irresistible majesty. "I'm back. If you can't condense the blood seal this time, please stay in the house and stop running around."
Zheng Gaocè's face tightened, and he quickly took out the brocade book sent by Red Cloud Immortal Temple from his arms and handed it over. "My dear, coming back this time is not just for fun, there is serious business."
Zheng Tianxing took the brocade book and frowned slightly. After unfolding it and looking at it carefully, his expression softened slightly. "Not bad. Since you are taking the lead in cooperating with Red Cloud Temple, you will be responsible for this."
"The clan has sent a Great Grandmaster to take charge, and his warriors are at your disposal."
He put down the brocade book and said with a tone of hatred for iron and steel, "I wanted to brand you with a blood seal before, but I couldn't find a suitable reason."
"The one who is branded with the blood mark this time is a young man from Second Branch's family, please hang out with him more!"
"Yes, my son understands!"
Zheng Gaocè quickly agreed and added, "By the way, dear, I also brought back a friend."
Zheng Tianxing heard this and laughed a little angrily, "What? Do you want me to entertain the friends you brought back in person?"
He waved his hand, "When you start cooperating with Red Cloud Temple, arranging him is just a matter of words."
"Cooperation is the top priority right now, don't put the cart before the horse."
"No father!"
Zheng Gaocè shrank his neck and hurriedly explained, "The man's name is Zhou Yanwu, and I met him by chance on the road. At first I thought he just had some background, but just before entering the city, Xuan Zhifeng actually blocked the road in person to deliver something to him!"
"Xuan Zhifeng?"
Zheng Tianyi's expression suddenly changed, and he tapped his fingertips on the table, "Xuan Zhifeng of Tingyu Tower? The surname is Zhou... which family could it be?"
He thought for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "Tell me carefully how you met, without leaving out any details."
Zheng Gaocè didn't dare to neglect, starting with Duan Yun Gorge discussing and talking about Xu Yue, and then Xuan Zhifeng showed up to deliver the package, telling everything in detail.
After Zheng Tianqing listened, he was silent for a long time and said slowly, "I understand."
"Your friend, just look at the arrangements and don't cause trouble in the house. Go down."
Zheng Gaocè left in response, and silence returned to the study room instantly. Zheng Tianqing raised his hand and waved, and an old figure emerged from behind the screen, bowing and waiting for orders.
"Go and look up this 'Zhou Yanwu' and his connection with Xuan Zhifeng and Xu Family."
Zheng Tianyi's tone was indifferent, "Remember, don't alert anyone, just forget it if the investigation fails."
He knew in his heart that Xuan Zhifeng came from Tingyu Tower, and Tingyu Tower protected his own shortcomings. Once the secrets of the Xuan family or Tingyu Tower were touched, he would be strongly resisted. This investigation would most likely be thankless.
After the old man accepted the order and stepped back, Zheng Tianqing picked up the brocade book Red Cloud Immortal Temple, ran across the words "gifting incense to thousands of strands" with his fingertips, and whispered to himself, "Giving incense... is such a generous gesture."
"What are these Zhao Kingdom Dao Vein, who have always been stubborn, planning?"
Before he entered the case, he took up a pen and wrote instructions on several pieces of paper, summoned his confidants, and ordered in a deep voice, "Send these letters to the clan families in various places, so that they must find out the recent movements of Red Cloud Immortal Temple, as well as other changes of Dao Vein."
The guards took the order and left, leaving Zheng Tianxing alone in the study.
He looked at the essence column outside the window and frowned.
Zheng Gaocè had just walked out of the study room when he bumped into a figure. He paused and said in surprise, "Third Uncle!"
The person who came was none other than Zheng Tianhong, Zheng Gaocè's relative, Third Uncle. He was dressed casually in a green shirt, but exuded an unfathomable aura. He was an expert in condensing the sky map, and the quality of the sky map was extremely extraordinary. In front of him, ordinary masters were simply vulnerable, and his strength could widen the gap between crushing levels.
"Haha, you kid just came out from your father's place."
Zheng Tianhong smiled and patted his shoulder, his tone full of familiarity and expectation, "The patriarch asked me to help you with Red Cloud Temple's affairs. If you need anything later, just ask."
"You know the rules in the clan. They don't talk about seniority, only ability. This is a good opportunity for you to make a contribution and get your blood mark. I'll watch you grow up. If you don't worry about it yourself, I will worry about it for you!" "
Zheng Gaocè smiled awkwardly, and naturally heard the knock in Third Uncle's words. If this matter went wrong, no matter what uncle or nephew were in front of the clan rules, he would be severely punished.
He quickly leaned over and bowed, with a solemn expression. "Thank you Third Uncle for your help. I know the pros and cons and I will not mess it up."
"That's right."
Zheng Tianhong nodded with satisfaction. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed like catkins and completely disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Zheng Gaocè didn't dare to delay, turned around and walked quickly towards Wang Yue's residence.
When he opened the door and saw Wang Yue standing by the window, he smiled and stepped forward, "Brother Zhou, I see that you have nothing important to do in the house, so I just want to ask your help for something."
Wang Yue turned around and looked with doubts in his eyes.
"The clan has decided to cooperate with Red Cloud Temple, and I will take the lead."
Zheng Gaocè said quickly, fearing that he would misunderstand, and added, "After the incident, I, Zheng Family, have prepared a great medicine to offer, and I will never let your efforts go in vain."
In fact, he knew in his heart that this matter was mainly led by Red Cloud Temple, and Zheng Family was just stepping forward to stand up, and did not have too many people at all. He said this just to take the opportunity to seek some benefits for Wang Yue.
Wang Yue frowned slightly and said bluntly, "Are you helping Red Cloud Temple spread See God and Worship Me Method?"
Zheng Gaocè thought that as a Dachang martial artist, he had some resistance to the Zhao Kingdom Dao Vein's exercises, so he quickly explained, "Brother Zhou Don't worry, we are just a name platform."
"Even if we don't accept this method, there are still many forces rushing to do it."
"Just take this opportunity to find out why Red Cloud Temple is rushing to promote this technique. If there is really a conspiracy, we can unite with our colleagues and crush it with thunder!" At the end, a flash of pride flashed in his eyes.
Wang Yue's eyes moved slightly. This was a good opportunity to get close to the core of See God and Worship Me Method. He could not only explore the details of the technique, but also observe Zhao Kingdom Red Cloud Temple's plot. He immediately nodded. "Since Brother Zheng has spoken, then I will respect him rather than obey him."
Seeing that he agreed, Zheng Gaocè breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone instantly returned to its usual brisk tone. "By the way, why did aunt arrange you in a place like this? It's too deserted."
"Hey, go stay in my small courtyard. I have prepared some good wine. We won't come back until we get drunk!"
With that said, without waiting for Wang Yue to refuse, he picked up the package he put on the table, pulled him and emptied it out.
Wang Yue was pulled by Zheng Gaocè, half pushing and half catching up. His eyes swept across the blue bricks and black tiles of the Zheng Family's house along the way, but he was thinking about the strangeness of "See God and Worship Me Method" and Red Cloud Temple.
He was not a nosy person, but Zheng Gaocè's words of "find out about Dao Vein's conspiracy" made him want to explore a little bit.
The two of them turned around the two moon gates and entered the small courtyard of Zheng Gaocè.
The courtyard is not big, but it is kept elegantly. There are several jars of sealed spirits piled in the corner, which is obviously well prepared.
Zheng Gaocè put the things on the corridor and shouted "prepare the dishes" loudly.
Then he pulled Wang Yue to sit down, poured a glass of wine himself and pushed it over. "Brother Zhou, this wine comes from a century-old cellar. Normally I would be reluctant to take it out."
Wang Yue picked up the wine glass, touched the slightly cool porcelain wall with his fingertips, and said with a faint smile, "Brother Zheng is quite hospitable."
There is just one thing I need to ask clearly. What exactly will you do in this cooperation with Red Cloud Temple? You can't really just stand aside and watch. "
Zheng Gaocè took a sip of wine and waved his hand. "Don't worry, we really can't help."
"Red Cloud Temple will send Daoists to set up an altar in the clan, and we only need to come forward to receive them. To put it bluntly, we are using our Zheng Family name to prop up the occasion."
He changed the subject and lowered his voice, "But people in the clan are already watching, and every move of Daoist Red Cloud Temple is under our noses. If there is any abnormal movement, we will be able to detect it immediately."
Just as he was talking, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and a servant came in with several plates of exquisite dishes to go with the wine, setting a table full of them.
Zheng Gaocè picked up the chopsticks and handed them over, with a look in his eyes. "Eat the food first, then drink.
Let's wait for Red Cloud Temple's people to arrive in a few days. Let's talk about things again. "
Wang Yue nodded, took a piece of food and put it into his mouth, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the night sky outside the courtyard gate, the night was getting darker.
