512. Rally the Spirits, Purge the Penglai Islands!

The cost of a counterattack would be too high.

Even with Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing's return, the Zhang Family would only have four Golden Core cultivators at this point.

Strictly speaking, there are only three.

Zhang Xuanbing must not reveal himself unless in a critical moment.

After all, the Zhang Family does not yet have the strength to deal with Half-step Nascent Soul force, let alone the hegemon-level forces of the four major sea regions.

With seven Golden Core cultivators each from the three major powers, the Zhang Family is currently able to maintain stability in the Penglai Islands and prevent their collapse.

Protecting his forces from the coercion and killing by the three major powers of the Ninglu Sect was already no easy task.

There are two ways to completely defeat the three major forces.

First, we await the return of Zhang Chongxian, Zhang Xuanchen, Luo Lingshuang.

Secondly, heavenly materials and earthly treasures to seek cooperation with external forces, but this approach is not very prudent.

After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart.

If the person you're working with harbors ill intentions, it will only bring utter ruin to the Zhang Family.

As for seeking help from the people at Horizon Restaurant, Zhang Hongzhan and the others had not considered it.

They knew the rules of Horizon Restaurant.

The fact that such a powerful force helped the Zhang Family escape the clutches of the Luo Clan out of respect for Zhang Xuanchen is already an immense favor.

If they are ungrateful and push their luck, offending Horizon Restaurant, the Zhang Family simply cannot afford the consequences.

Upon hearing Zhang Hongzhan's arrangement, the elders of the Zhang Family immediately replied:

"Yes, Elder Clan Leader!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the hall.

Gather the fighting force of the clan and call upon the people of Affiliated Force.

A major cleanup operation is underway in the Penglai Islands.

The pent-up frustration of the past two months finally erupted at this moment.

Zhang Hongzhan looked at Zhang Zujun and said, "Old Ancestor."

You know Wanqing's personality well.

Once it gets angry, Xuanbing can't hold it back at all.

"I'll have to trouble you to make that trip again, lest she fall into the Ninglu Sect's trap due to impulsiveness."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zujun chuckled softly.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Wanqing has a rough but meticulous personality.

I won't do anything reckless.

You're just overthinking it.

I will join Wanqing and Xuanbing in destroying several of the Ninglu Sect Spiritual Land and properties.

Then we will return.

"I naturally trust the Old Ancestor to handle things, haha." Zhang Hongzhan's mood was visibly more relaxed at this moment.

He smiled much more often.

"Well, I'm off!" Zhang Zujun's figure vanished from the Main Hall in an instant.

Zhang Hongzhan was left standing alone in front of the throne.

"Ninglu Sect, your good days are over!"

Outside the Main Hall.

Upon receiving Zhang Hongzhan's order, War Hall Zhang Guangxin immediately shouted to his clansmen who were practicing swordsmanship:

"Point the troops! Point the troops!"

The old Clan Leader has given the order: wipe out the Penglai Islands!

Slay the invading enemy!

The moment the sound rang out, the hundred-plus sword-wielding cultivators were stunned, and then a clamor erupted!

A fierce Sword Momentum erupted from within his body!

Haha! They're here!

I've long disliked those bastards from the Ninglu Sect!

How dare you curse our Immortal Ancestor to death!

He truly deserves to die!

Why did Third Brother suddenly order an attack?

Could it be that the Clan Leader has returned?

"Are you stupid? How could the Clan Leader's return be ordered by Third Brother?"

It must be Third Sister-in-law and Xuanbing who have returned.

"Hey, Hongshi, when did you suddenly become so bright? This time your brain is even working faster than mine!!"

"Alright, stop the pot calling the kettle black. Hurry up and assemble! I'm going to kill twenty Ninglu Sect disciples today!"

The moment the order was given, hundreds of cultivators and Family General of the Zhang Family had assembled in less than a quarter of an hour.

They were then divided into dozens of teams, led by Family Foundation Establishment.

They broke out of Xuanxiao Mountain in different directions.

Among the Xuan Generation, only the fifth son, Zhang Xuanming, the winner of the first Family Grand Competition, is qualified to lead the team to fight the enemy.

He looked at the thirty people of his tribe who were with him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

This was a feeling he was experiencing for the first time.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

After all, if things go wrong, their entire clan could perish.

These are all his people.

An Elder with white hair noticed this and walked over to Zhang Xuanming's side.

He patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Xuanming, this is something every member of the Lineage must go through."

As a first-time team leader, there's no need to demand perfection from yourself.

"Just do your best and avoid common mistakes."

"There's no need to be too nervous. Although the three major powers are strong, in the end, the Penglai Islands are the territory of my Zhang Family."

The danger is not great.

With a little extra care, nothing serious will happen.

The speaker was none other than the Eighth Elder, Zhang Zonghui.

A few years ago he was tall and straight, but now he has become somewhat hunched over.

Today, only Zhang Zujun remains from the "Zu" generation in the Lineage.

The same applies to those of the Zong Generation.

Originally, the Sixth Elder Zhang Zonggan was with them, but he died from the Soul-Devouring Foot.

It was at that moment that Zhang Zonggan's anger subsided somewhat.

In just a few years, the person aged rapidly.

If it weren't for having a granddaughter to look after, she would probably look even older by now.

Upon hearing Zhang Zonghui's words, Zhang Xuanming replied, "Great-Grandpa Zonghui, I understand."

I will definitely do my best.

Haha, great-grandfather believes you.

"After all, you're the top of the Ten Talents of the Family!" Zhang Zonghui said, patting Zhang Xuanming on the shoulder.

My gaze fell on a middle-aged man in his forties in the group.

"Honggao, you are a veteran of the former hunting team."

Although Xuanming's cultivation level is higher than yours, his experience in fighting enemies outside the battlefield is definitely not as high as yours.

You must not hesitate to offer your guidance.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Honggao laughed heartily, thumping his chest repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Master Hui, how could I possibly keep anything from my clansmen?"

Only Lineage is strong can we elders enjoy our later years in peace.

Only then can the younger generation grow up smoothly.

Captain Xuanming, if you ask me anything, I, as your uncle, will definitely answer to the best of my knowledge.

His plain words were simple and clear, yet they revealed the main reason for the harmony within the Zhang Family.

Everyone in the Zhang Family wants the Lineage to prosper.

I will never do anything that harms the interests of the Lineage.

Only when Lineage is powerful can its members have security, and only then can their descendants grow up smoothly and enjoy better resources.

This idea was instilled in the clan members when they entered school at the age of seven.

You may have selfish motives, but selfish motives must never hinder the rise of the Lineage or harm the Lineage's interests!

Otherwise, you will be a traitor, a sinner against your family, and after death you will become a wandering ghost, forbidden from entering the Zhang family ancestral mausoleum.

"Hmm." Zhang Zonghui nodded in satisfaction, stroked his beard, and led his team.

We left Xuanxiao Mountain.

Zhang Xuanming took a deep breath, his gaze hardening.

"Move out! Kill the enemy!"

The moment Zhang Family's order was spread.

The forces loyal to the Zhang Family throughout the Penglai Islands were in an uproar.

The Su Lineage patriarch, Su Zhengyi, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He consulted ancient books and gained some understanding of Sky Scar Sword Mountain.

In his heart, Zhang Chongxian was already dead.

For the past two months, the Zhang Family has been making concessions, which has plunged him into despair.

I've already prepared for the worst.

But now, the Zhang Family is no longer backing down and has begun to gather its Affiliated Force to purge the Penglai Islands, which has rekindled a glimmer of hope in his heart.

This proves that even if Zhang Chongxian dies, the Zhang Family still has the strength and determination to fight against the three major forces.

This proves that... there is still hope of victory.

He immediately looked at the Su Family Great Elder and shouted:

"Issue the Clan Leader's order!"

We oppose the Su Family and will fully cooperate with the Zhang Family to purge the Penglai Islands!

At the same time, half of the clan's capable fighters were dispatched to follow the Zhang Family's lead and fight the enemy!

This scene also played out in Foundation Establishment factions such as the Yang Family, the Liu Family, and the Berserker Sect!

They all grabbed their knives and went out to fight the enemy!
