Zhang Chongxian Sets Out! The Zhang Family Higher-Ups' Speculations!

Hearing the sound from outside the door, Zhang Hongzhan and Lin Wanqing excitedly stood up.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

It's been more than three months; the Great Elder and the others have been gone for more than three months.

They're finally back.

Lin Wanqing flashed to Zhang Xuntong's side at the door, grabbed his collar, and disappeared with Zhang Hongzhan.

"Hey... Third Aunt, slow down, slow down, this is too high! I'm afraid of heights..."

Outside Xuanxiao Mountain.

A Flying Boat, over twenty meters long, hovered steadily above Zhang Family.

Then, Zhang Zujun appeared before the Zhang Family members, carrying Zhang Honghan, Zhang Xuanbing, and others who were staring blankly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Hongzhan and several elders and disciples behind him stepped forward to greet him.

After seeing the expressions on the faces of the Great Elder and Zhang Xuanbing and the others.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

The smile on his face vanished instantly.

"Great Elder, the others..."

Because the Lineage were few in number, no one was assigned to guard the Ancestral Hall, and generally no one went there to loiter when there was nothing to do.

Therefore, they did not know whether their clansmen were alive or dead.

Upon hearing Zhang Hongzhan's question, Zhang Zujun's eyes dimmed, and he nodded, saying, "Clan Leader, there is an important matter that needs to be discussed."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongzhan immediately understood Zhang Zujun's meaning.

He immediately dismissed the clansmen behind him and sent a message to the remaining elders of the Lineage.

Half an hour later.

The Lineage Main Hall.

Zhang Hongzhan sat in the main seat.

All Great Elder of the Lineage were present.

Each of them possesses strength at least at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Besides them, Zhang Hongqing and Zhang Hongxi were also there.

As for the others who returned alive from the Secret Realm, they went home to rest.

Half of the spiritual items they obtained from the Secret Realm had to be handed over to their Lineage.

After all, the Lineage had given them quite a few trump cards before they entered the Secret Realm.

The remaining amount can be used by yourself or exchanged for Contribution Points.

Submitting only half is really not much.

It should be noted that the Bihai Immortal Sect directly handed over 80% of its shares.

Compared to other forces and Lineage, the Zhang Family has done an excellent job in nurturing its younger generation.

There is no distinction between direct descendants and concubines in the Zhang family. As long as you have talent and work hard, you can obtain cultivation resources.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

This is why the Zhang Family is so united.

Everyone is contributing to the development of the Lineage.

The Main Hall was quiet at this moment, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Everyone's face showed worry.

Just now, he learned that Zhang Xuanchen's fate was unknown. Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing went to check on him and had not yet returned. How could they be at ease?

The Zhang Family lost seventeen members this time. If Zhang Xuanchen also perished in the Secret Realm, the Zhang Family will truly suffer a devastating blow.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long.

Lin Wanqing and Zhang Xuanbing finally arrived at the Lineage's Main Hall.

After seeing Lin Wanqing with tears streaming down her face.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats again.

Zhang Hongzhan immediately stood up from his seat and rushed to Lin Wanqing, his face filled with anxiety. "Wanqing, Xuanbing, how is Xiao Chen? Huh?"

Lin Wanqing looked up and replied, "Xiao Chen is still alive."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Main Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Just being alive is good, just being alive is good.

Zhang Xuanchen was the most satisfactory candidate for Clan Leader in everyone's eyes.

If they are killed, it will be a huge loss for the Zhang Family.

"But his Soul Fire was extremely weak and flickering, which meant that Xiao Chen had been severely injured, and might even be on the verge of death."

I'm going out to find him!

Lin Wanqing's tone was extremely firm. Zhang Xuanchen was her son, and now his fate was unknown. She could not sit idly by and wait for death.

What if he gets teleported to some deserted island, severely injured and unconscious, and then eaten by Demon Beast?

She dared not gamble, nor could she gamble.

No one in the Main Hall objected to these words.

That's also their idea.

Zhang Xuanchen must not be harmed.

All eyes turned to Zhang Hongzhan, awaiting his command.

Zhang Hongzhan immediately felt the pressure.

Under normal circumstances, he would have certainly dispatched half of his Lineage's forces to search for them.

But that's definitely not possible now.

The Soul Devouring Cult is too much of a threat, and we also have to hold a burial ceremony for the clansmen who died this time.

Sending too many people out at this time might discourage some members of the tribe.

Elders Zhang Guanghan, Zhang Zu'an, Zhang Hongyi.

Lin Wanqing, Zhang Xuanbing, and Zhang Hongqing, listen to my command!

Come with me to find Xiao Chen.

Just as Zhang Hongzhan was about to give the order, Zhang Chongxian quietly appeared inside the Main Hall.

The powerful voice resonated in everyone's ears.

Everyone in the hall was surprised to see the newcomer.

Especially when they heard that Zhang Chongxian was going to search for him personally.

Zhang Hongzhan looked worried and said, "Ancestor, it might be inappropriate for you to go and search for him personally."

The Lineage needs your presence; now the Soul Devouring Cult ...

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chongxian waved his hand to interrupt him.

"It's alright, the Clan Protection Array is not just for show. Even Golden Core Peak expert wouldn't be able to break through it in a short time."

I know that the Soul Devouring Cult is rampant with Evil Cultivator, so I won't send Lineage's Qi Refinement cultivators to search for them.

Let's not end up burying a dozen or so people here, only to bury another dozen or so a while later.

"It's fine if only the seven of us go."

Zhang Xuanchen was his most promising junior, even Zhang Xuanbing, who possessed a single Spirit Root, couldn't compare.

Zhang Hongzhan thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Alright, I'll listen to the Ancestor."

The Divine Sense of a Golden Core cultivator is naturally incomparable to that of Qi Refining cultivator.

With the Ancestor involved, there's a greater chance of finding Zhang Xuanchen's whereabouts.

More importantly, this does reduce casualties among the tribe.

"Okay, let's go. Be careful to conceal your presence, change your appearance, and reduce the chances of being exposed."

If anyone asks, just say you're out treasure hunting.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven figures disappeared into the Main Hall.

"Xiao Chen, I hope you are safe and sound."

Zhang Hongzhan silently prayed, while looking at Zhang Zujun and asking:

"Great Elder, please recount what happened in the Secret Realm."

"Yes, Clan Leader."

Zhang Zujun replied and then described all the information he had received from Zhang Hongxi, Zhang Honghan and others.

The story of Zhang Xuanbing's encounter with Zhang Xuanchen amidst the Devil Qi was also recounted.

This was told to him privately by Zhang Xuanbing; the other clansmen were unaware of it.

After listening to Zhang Zujun's description, Zhang Guangyao looked moved.

"I never imagined that the so-called place of fortuitous opportunity, the Dragon God Cave Mansion, would actually be the place where the Demon Lord was sealed."

That Demon Lord really has some tricks up his sleeve!

Ninth Elder Zhang Hongwen had a sudden flash of inspiration, his eyes wide with shock, and he suddenly spoke:

"The aura of Nascent Soul erupted from Xiao Chen, doesn't that mean he has obtained the true inheritance within the Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing this, all eyes in the hall turned to Zhang Hongwen.

Startled, he shrank back and cautiously asked:

"I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Haha..."
