The Ancestors Who Answered the Call

Around the circle.

Even in the darkness of night, some people are still waiting.

However, the situation was far from as calm as before.

At this moment, a horde of beasts began to surge in, attacking everyone present.

For most people, caution and prudence should still be the primary approach.

The area where the two major powers reside appears to be much calmer.

Dai Tianfeng sat cross-legged, completely undisturbed by the commotion around him. The younger generation of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty surrounded him, protecting him from the influence of the Beast Race.

In contrast, the methods adopted by Buddhist Order are much more unique.

Perhaps out of great compassion, or perhaps out of unwillingness to waste their energy, the Buddhist Order monks were surrounded by a flowing light. When several people gathered together, the light connected invisibly, creating an area filled with Buddhist light in the night.

Those Beast Race affected by the darkness trembled upon contact with the Buddha's light. The madness in their eyes vanished, and they rose and fled as if they had encountered a great terror.

For a moment, it felt as if the Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere down, purifying the soul.

In the void, Zhou Xun remained Jingjing hidden.

His gaze fell on the spot where the circle was located.

He was also waiting, waiting for the obstacle to disappear, or for a path to enter to appear.

In fact, even though the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had been able to enter this secret realm some time in advance, it cannot be said that they had fully explored it.

Therefore, one of his tasks on this trip was also to find treasure.

Of course, those worth seeking out must be of a high rank; otherwise, they would be insignificant compared to his main business.

And this place right now is one that deserves attention.

Judging from the aura and the way the force blocking this place is acting, what it is sealing must be something extraordinary.

If it is valuable, he will be the one to acquire the goods from this place for the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

Although Dai Tianfeng was a member of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, his treasure hunt in the secret realm was primarily on his own behalf.

But he was different; he worked for the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

There are still significant differences between the two.

However, for some reason, he had a vague feeling of unease in his heart.

It was as if I was about to encounter some trouble.

"Could it be that old man with the sword?"

A possibility flashed through Zhou Xun's mind.

If Lu Changzhi knew Zhou Xun's thoughts, he would surely say he was clever.

You guessed right, but only half right.

As for the other half...

"Calling out, is any of our ancestors nearby?"

Lu Changzhi took out a communication stone and began to transmit his voice.

This communication stone was specially prepared by the sect.

Similarly, the internet connection is not publicly accessible; instead, communication can only be sent to a limited number of designated communication stones.

Those designated communication stones were all in the hands of the patriarchs, the lowest in status being the Zhenfeng Patriarch.

"Hmm? Changzhi? I'm here."

"I'm here too."

"What is it? I'm nearby."

A moment later, the communication stone received a continuous stream of messages.

Lu Changzhi came up with a suitable description for this.

The ancestors who could command a hundred responses with a single call.

Of course, I was only slightly surprised by this.

After all, he probably had a pretty good idea of how much green light was present.

He then got straight to the point, saying:

"My esteemed ancestors, I need some manpower to help me capture someone."

As soon as the words were spoken, a voice said:

"Who are you arresting? Name them."

It was just as decisive and efficient.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then instead of mentioning Zhou Xun's name, he said:

"The powerful figure from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty who entered the secret realm using Privilege Token is very adept at hiding his abilities, and his influence is considerable."

No sooner had Lu Changzhi finished speaking than a voice exclaimed in surprise:

"This isn't a coincidence. A few of us were assigned to follow him, and he's in this area right now."

In addition, there were some unexpected and puzzled voices.

After all, Lu Changzhi's sudden appearance in such a place was somewhat abrupt.

Furthermore, if Lu Changzhi hadn't used the communication stone to communicate, they probably wouldn't have known that Lu Changzhi was here.

And, out of curiosity, he inquired about Lu Changzhi's purpose in capturing the other party.

Lu Changzhi's response to this was always the same:

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be discussed at this time."

Since it's difficult to explain, let's use a seemingly sophisticated explanation to cover it up.

The elders did not pursue the matter further.

After all, there is another version of events regarding Lu Changzhi's case.

Their child cannot be treated with ordinary standards.

In other words, if you can't figure it out or understand it, that's normal.

Now that Lu Changzhi had said so, everyone's attention immediately turned to what needed to be done.

"Alright, alright, I don't need to help you anymore. Just watch, we'll do it."

"Changzhi, how should we grab him? Should we be polite or rough?"

"Should it be awake or unconscious, whole or incomplete?"

"Should we do it now or wait? If we do it now, we can start immediately."

The numerous messages and inquiries prompted Lu Changzhi to give them some time to consider.

He had considered taking action, but he hadn't thought about the specific form or the desired effect.

After being questioned by the elders, Lu Changzhi finally understood.

His goal was to use the Heart-Binding Devil Seed, but he didn't care whether Zhou Xun was conscious or unconscious, as long as he didn't die.

However, in order to gain control of the other party as quickly as possible, it cannot be too abrupt.

After considering it for a moment, Lu Changzhi briefly explained his requirements.

At this moment, Mu Yuan spoke up, saying:

"If that's to be done, then I'll do it."

"Point to a spot, and I'll wrap it up and put it there for you in a bit."

For some reason, upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi thought of grapes.

Although this package isn't peeled, it still offers the same level of convenience.

They found a place with distinctive features, and then Mu Yuan said:

"Okay, wait."

Then, Lu Changzhi saw streaks of green light in the night, beginning to converge around Zhou Xun's location.

Lu Changzhi was also quite surprised by this situation.

Originally, I planned to take matters into my own hands and ask the elders for help.

Now, he's the only audience member!

I never expected our ancestors to be so enthusiastic.

Logically speaking, I didn't have much contact with these ancestors. Even when I sent the Life Spirit Spring last time, it was under the name of another ancestor.

As the saying goes, the amount of contact affects the closeness of the relationship.

But judging from the current situation...

After thinking it over carefully, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head:

"Looks like I'm not just an ordinary second-generation rich kid."

Without dwelling on this, Lu Changzhi didn't waste the precious opportunity and said to the system:

"What are your thoughts on seeing what these elders in the sect are doing?"

The system paused for a moment before speaking:

"Master, could your provocation be any more obvious?"

To this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile and said:

"After following me for so long, don't you understand me at all?"

By saying it that way, he had already improved upon the previous approach of revealing his true intentions.

The system did not answer the question, but instead said:

"Rest assured, Master, I will ensure that my subordinates serve you well from now on."

"And what about you?" Lu Changzhi asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, a white hat pattern flashed before Lu Changzhi's eyes, followed by the system's voice:

"I'm in charge of supervising the construction."

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile at this.

The other systems are relatively well-behaved; otherwise, if they were put together, they might have ruined their own systems.

Regaining his focus from the system, Lu Changzhi turned his attention back to Zhou Xun.

He single-handedly faced seventy-eight hidden sect elders of various levels, plus one Saint Realm elder, and seventy-nine enhanced Privilege Token.

If he knew about this treatment, I wonder if it would deeply move him.
