Strength and the Ancestral Land

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year Past.

Inside a Cultivating Cave Heaven within the territory of the Fumo Family.

Call!

A man dressed in a golden robe with a cold expression suddenly opened his eyes.

He flipped his hand and took out a Purple-Gold Token, which was now covered in a thick crimson color.

"How dare you! A mere middling family dares to touch my people!!" The man snorted coldly and left the Cultivating Cave Heaven in a flash.

Half a day later, a streak of light appeared on a wasteland within this star. However, it was somewhat different from what the man had imagined. The place was peaceful, and no fighting had taken place.

The man had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but before he could do anything, the next moment—

Buzz!

A ripple descended from the Void, and in an instant, the golden-robed man's eyes fell into a daze.

Call!

Zhou Zheng, dressed in Black-White Dao Robe, descended from mid-air, followed by Ji Ning and Jiu Chen.

This was merely an ordinary Three-step Dao Lord. With the power of Zhou Zheng Heart World, coupled with his mastery of the Flame Dragon Dominator's Heartforce Illusion, dealing with Dao Lord of this level would be a matter of a single thought.

"Tsk, it's really not easy to lure out the Dao Lord of these Three Great Clans!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen shook his head and sighed. They had two Heart Power cultivator who spent a full six months setting up a plan to lure them out.

"The gap between different families in this world is too vast, making it difficult to establish connections between them!" Ji Ning laughed. "Fortunately, this Dao Lord is rather romantic and has some entanglements with other women."

"Let's put that aside for now, let me ask him first!" Zhou Zheng didn't say much, he looked directly at the man in the golden robe and asked, "How strong is your Fumo Family?"

"Of course we are very strong. The power of our Three Great Clans is far beyond what other families can fathom!" the golden-robed man said blankly.

"Specifically?" Zhou Zheng asked again.

"Within the family, there are Emperor-level Puppet guarding the place. These Emperor-level Puppet are not ordinary Emperor-level Puppet; each one is powerful, no less than peak Dao Lord!"

Upon hearing the man in the golden robe's words, Ji Ning and Jiu Chen's expressions both changed slightly.

There is more than one Emperor-level Puppet comparable to peak Dao Lord?

"Common Puppet are all at the Dao Lord level! I've only ever seen Emperor-level Puppet among the Ancient Cultivator Clan, but they are extremely rare; they've been accumulated over countless years!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen said in a deep voice.

"How come the Fumo Family has so many Emperor-level Puppet? And all of them are so powerful?"

"Not simple!"

Ji Ning immediately realized the problem.

Of course, all of this was within Zhou Zheng's expectations, so he wasn't too surprised. He asked again, "Besides Emperor-level Puppet, what other methods do you have?"

"Our most powerful Fumo Family is undoubtedly our Clan Leader; even Emperor-level Puppet cannot compare!" the golden-robed man declared.

"I once saw the Clan Leader spar with six Emperor-level Puppet, and he easily crushed all six Puppet!"

"Crushing six Puppet comparable to peak Dao Lord?"

Ji Ning was taken aback. He should be able to do this too, but with his Destiny Divine Weapon and the Heart Sword Technique, his strength had already reached the level of the Eight Great Sacred City Lords. How could the Clan Leader of the Fumo Family be so powerful?

"Has your Clan Leader already Dao Merge?" Ji Ning couldn't help but ask.

"No, our Clan Leader is still Dao Lord. He just became a true Xis Race through a special method, which is why he has such strength. The other two major clans are the same!" The man in the golden robe said, which immediately made the Sect Master Jiu Chen and Ji Ning many things.

"Why are the Three Great Clans so powerful?" Zhou Zheng stared at the man in the golden robe. This was the most crucial point. He wondered if the man had made a strict Life Oath.

"It's because of the Ancestral Land!" the man in the golden robe said, but the next moment, Zhou Zheng's mind stirred and he stopped the man from continuing.

Although he could force the person to speak using Illusion Art magic, Zhou Zheng had just sensed a slight resistance, which should be the obstacle of the "Life Oath".

If you force him to speak, he probably won't say much before he dies.

Once this person dies, it will immediately alert the Felmo clan, and then the three of them will be exposed.

"Master, is it Life Oath?" Ji Ning naturally guessed Zhou Zheng's intention.

"Um!"

Zhou Zheng nodded, and then said, "However, we have enough information now. The Three Great Clans are very powerful. The place that truly holds the secrets is the so-called ' Ancestral Land '!"

"Yes, we came to this star for the treasures of the Xis Race, not for the Three Great Clans!"

A smile appeared on Ji Ning's face. With that, their next goal was clear: to find a way to enter that "Ancestral Land".

"I used the ' Life Technique ' technique to infiltrate the Fumo Family and investigate how to enter the Ancestral Land!" Zhou Zheng said.

"You two are looking outside, while we'll work from the inside out and the outside in, maximizing efficiency."

"The internal situation of the Fumo clan is probably fraught with crisis!" Ji Ning said with some worry.

Judging from the strength of the Fumo clan Clan Leader, their lair is definitely not simple!

"Haha, I have this person with me in my Cave-Heaven Treasure. If anything happens, you can ask him anytime!" Zhou Zheng smiled and said.

"Besides, as long as I leave one Avatar outside, even if I am exposed, I can just move out immediately!"

"Dao Lord Cheng Tian, your move is indeed impressive!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen's eyes lit up slightly. With this, there was indeed no need to worry.

"Haha!" Zhou Zheng laughed, his mind suddenly shifting slightly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Zheng's appearance began to change again. In a flash, Zhou Zheng transformed from "Dao Lord Xiaomeng" into the "golden-robed man." Of course, his soul and True Spirit aura were exactly the same.

The only flaw in the "Life Technique" method is Cause and Effect, and there are very few practitioners who focus on cause Cause and Effect. Otherwise, only the rulers would be able to access Cause and Effect. Zhou Zheng infiltrated the Fumo clan by relying on this method, and the possibility of him being exposed is extremely small.

Call!

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Zheng took the golden-robed man into his own Cave-Heaven Treasure. After exchanging a few more words with Ji Ning and the Sect Master Jiu Chen, he then left the place.

"Jiu Chen, let's go too. This star isn't too big. Over such a long period of time, even if the Three Great Clans concealed it well, it's impossible for them to have left no clues at all!" Ji Ning said with a smile.

"Perhaps we can find a clue before our master!"

"Haha, yes, maybe we can even be faster!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen laughed as well.

Whew! Whew!

The two moved slightly and disappeared from their spot in the blink of an eye.
