Su Jiaru's Decisive Resolve

"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 was to unify the Penglai Islands.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot and flew towards the Lineage'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.

"Bihai Immortal Sect! They've truly gone too far!"

During this period, the Su Family's properties in the Penglai Islands, located in areas with Spirit Vein, 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 General were brutally murdered.

The Su Family could only send people to carry out the strangulation.

After clearing out several bandit strongholds, it was discovered that the bandits were all backed by disciples of the Bihai 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 Purple Cloud Mountain Range and Azure Nether Mountain Range ranges where Su Family were killed by disciples of the Bihai Immortal Sect.

They also gave their names.

They used to at least pretend, but now they don't even bother.

"Damn it! Even if my 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 Family Skyfire True Person 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 I'm showing off.

The Skyfire True Person came to the Su Family so soon after breaking through to the Golden Core stage means something big must have happened.

Without hesitation.

His figure flashed and disappeared from the Main Hall, then reappeared outside the mountain gate the next moment.

Looking at Zhang Zujun, who exuded a deep aura and whose appearance had returned to that of a middle-aged man, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

The two are about the same age, practically contemporaries.

The other party has successfully broken through and is on the path to the Great Dao, while I have only managed to condense False Core and have stopped here.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhang, on reaching the Golden Core stage! The path to the Great Dao is truly promising."

Su Zhengyi's tone was somewhat complicated, but mostly he was happy, after all, Zhang Zujun's breakthrough had a considerable deterrent effect on the Bihai Immortal Sect.

Hearing Su Zhengyi's compliment, Zhang Zujun did not show any smugness.

He replied modestly, "It was just luck. I'm only at the low-grade Golden Core level; advancing further will be extremely difficult."

Logically speaking, I should congratulate Su Zhengyi on condensing False Core.

After all, even False Core is still considered a golden core, far superior to those cultivators who failed to break through.

But he knew he couldn't; after all, he had successfully broken through, and if the other party misunderstood what he said, it would be troublesome.

Having served 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 be so carefree, he would just blurt things out.

He changed the subject, saying, "Haha, even the worst one is better than my False Core."

Forget about that.

May I ask what brings you here today, Brother Zhang?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zujun did not respond immediately.

I looked around.

"I have come here to find out what Senior Su or the Su Family's attitude is toward the Bihai 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 Law Technique to inform the Ancestor, then said, "Follow me."

After saying that, he turned and headed towards the Guest Welcoming Hall.

Zhang Zujun didn't hesitate and started following.

Now the Zhang Family and the Su Family are in the same boat, so they're not afraid of the other side causing trouble.

As soon as they stepped into the Guest 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, an old man, am unworthy of the title of Senior.

We can address each other as fellow Daoists from now on.

"Then this junior will accept 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 Su Jiaru in suspense. Looking at her, he said:

"My Zhang Family has received news that the Bihai Immortal Sect will Night Raid on the Su Family in a month."

Furthermore, it is speculated that the Cang Hun Old Ghost may have already broken through to the Golden Core Peak.

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?

Buzz!

The moment they heard Zhang Zujun's first words, Su Jiaru and Su Zhengyi stood up abruptly.

A buzzing sound filled 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 that you 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.

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 Affiliated Family of the Zhang Family from now on."

As a pledge of loyalty, I will Burning Golden Core a month later to severely damage the Bihai Immortal Sect, thus reducing obstacles for the Zhang Family to unify the Bihai Immortal Sect.

How?"

Rather than waiting for the other party to ask, it's better to take the initiative and speak up, which will both preserve one's dignity and 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 enormous family business was given up so easily.
