Chapter 329 Turbulence

Chu Chen spoke up to put a temporary end to this farce that could ruin the funeral of Lord Liehuo.

If he wanted, he could even end it completely.

This is the power of the Lord!

But Chu Chen didn't want to care about this matter. If Min Zhaoxue hadn't asked him, he wouldn't have spoken up just now.

He had no feelings for Min Zhaoxue and others. The reason he spoke up was because Lord Liehuo and he were both elders of Qingyun Pavilion.

That's right.

After Chu Chen broke through the Jindan stage, although he failed to join Qingyun Tower, he was promoted to elder of Qingyun Pavilion.

As elders of Qingyun Pavilion, if he didn't speak up to stop it when his descendants begged, it would be too cold-blooded, which would damage the reputation of 'Zhou Yun' and would not be conducive to 'Zhou Yun' joining Qingyun Tower.

Except for the forces of the demons, few forces would like overly cold-blooded cultivators.

After the funeral of Lord Liehuo was over, Chu Chen refused the retention of Min Zhaoxue and others and left directly.

At the funeral, he had done his best to help out, and what would happen next had nothing to do with him.

Not long after Chu Chen left Xuanhuoju, he felt the fluctuation of mana coming from Xuanhuoju.

"Money can move people's hearts."

Chu Chen looked back at Xuanhuoju, his eyes dim.

The treasures left by a Jindan Zhenjun are very attractive to foundation-building cultivators.

Yuanqiu Zhenren and his three people would not let Min Zhaoxue and the others swallow up the treasures of Liehuo Zhenjun alone, and a fight was the inevitable result.

As for the Fangshi Law Enforcement Team, Yuanqiu Zhenren and his people might have known each other for a long time and turned a blind eye to the fight in Xuanhuoju.

...

The actions of Yuanqiu Zhenren and his people were just the beginning. On the second day after Liehuo Zhenjun's funeral, forces, either openly or secretly, targeted the Shangyang Min family and tried to seize what they needed.

Guan Yishan, Min Zhaoxue and other strong men of the Shangyang Min family were exhausted from dealing with it and suffered terribly.

In desperation, the Shangyang Min family could only abandon most of its resources, shrink its sphere of influence, and announce the closure of the mountain, and only then could they barely get out of this storm.

Since then, the Shangyang Min family has fallen from a Jindan family to an ordinary foundation-building family.

Even the shops that the Zhang family gave to the Shangyang Min family were taken back by Zhang Yu.

"The Zhang family is also in a difficult situation. The present of the Shangyang Min family may be the future of the Zhang family."

Chu Chen put down the information about the Shangyang Min family and picked up the information about the Zhang family.

Compared with the Shangyang Min family, he is more concerned about the situation of the Zhang family.

The situation of the Zhang family and the Shangyang Min family is somewhat similar. The reason why the Zhang family is known as the first family in the Yuanwu domain and the first force under the Qingyun Tower is because of the Zhang family ancestor.

As time goes by, the life span of the Zhang family ancestor is approaching, and the Zhang family faces the same dilemma as the Shangyang Min family before.

No successor.

The Zhang family ancestor has not appeared for more than ten years. There was once a rumor that the Zhang family ancestor had fallen.

Over the years, various forces have never stopped testing the Zhang family.

"A few days ago, a legitimate son of the Zhang family was robbed and killed, and the murderer is still missing."

Feng Wuhua said in a deep voice.

This incident can be said to be the most concerned thing in Yuanwu Domain recently, completely overshadowing the matter of the Shangyang Min family closing the mountain.

The Zhang family's legitimate son was killed. This kind of thing was unimaginable in the heyday of the Zhang family.

If anyone dared to take such a big risk, the Zhang family would be furious and send a large number of strong men to hunt him down.

The murderer who killed the Zhang family's legitimate son would be killed by the Zhang family the next day to demonstrate the majesty of the Zhang family, instead of letting the other party go unpunished as it is now.

"The closer the life of the Zhang family ancestor is to the end, the more similar things will happen."

Chu Chen had expected this.

In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is the foundation.

Without the peak of the golden elixir, the Zhang family cannot deter challengers such as the Shangguan family.

If the decline of the Shangyang Min family is a carnival for the forces around Fufeng Market, then the decline of the Zhang family is likely to be a feast for all the forces in Yuanwu Domain.

The Zhang family is so powerful and has more resources than the Shangyang Min family by more than ten times.

If they can take a bite of this behemoth, it will undoubtedly be a big deal for the Jindan-level forces in Yuanwu Domain.

It is conceivable how much pressure the Zhang family faces.

The Zhang family even began to sell off its own industries and gradually recalled the personnel stationed outside.

"I have heard a piece of news that the Zhang family seems to be willing to give up Fufeng Market."

Feng Wuhua continued.

"It makes sense."

Chu Chen was not surprised.

Fufeng Market is located at the entrance of Yanyang Mountains, a certain distance from the main sphere of influence of the Zhang family, and is more like an isolated island overseas.

In order to ensure the control of Fufeng Market, the Zhang family arranged two Jindan Zhenjun to guard it.

If it was during the heyday of the Zhang family, there would naturally be no problem.

But given the current situation of the Zhang family, if Zhang Yu and the others continue to guard Fufeng Market, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Even if the benefits of Fufeng Market are high, the Zhang family dare not gamble.

"Which force is taking over?"

Chu Chen asked.

"Yinfeng Sect, or the Beast Taming Family."

Feng Wuhua replied.

"Yes."

Chu Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

Whether it is the Yinfeng Sect or the Beast Taming Family, they are both top Jindan forces.

Both families have Jindan late-stage cultivators, and among the Jindan-level forces in Yuanwu Domain, they are second only to the Zhang family and the Shangguan family.

However, no matter which of the two forces takes over Fufeng Market, it will not have much impact on Chu Chen.

In a few years, he will leave Fufeng Market and go to Qingyun Tower. Whoever controls Fufeng Market will not have much impact on him.

Just concentrate on practicing.

…

In just one week.

The Zhang family announced that they would give up Fufeng Market and let Yinfeng Sect take over.

On the day when the news came out, Zhang Yu and Chen Xiuping, two Zhenjun, returned to the Zhang family with Zhang family disciples.

On the way, they were ambushed by a group of robbers and suffered heavy losses.

"It is said that Chen Xiuping suddenly attacked Zhang Yu and seriously injured him. This is the main reason for the defeat of the Zhang family. Among the Zhang family, only Zhang Yu escaped by chance."

Feng Wuhua handed the information she bought to Chu Chen.

"Chen Xiuping betrayed the Zhang family?"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.

He had contacted Chen Xiuping several times, and the other party gave him the feeling that he was quite loyal to the Zhang family.

Of course.

The so-called loyalty can also be acted out.

"All parties are waiting to see the good show of the Zhang family and want to see how the Zhang family will respond?"

Feng Wuhua said with interest.

Obviously, Chen Xiuping's betrayal has dealt a huge blow to the Zhang family, which was already in decline.

The loss of the disciples in the family is secondary. The most important thing is the betrayal of a Jindan Zhenjun.

For any force, the existence of a betrayer will only shake the hearts of the people inside.

If the Zhang family cannot kill Chen Xiuping with thunder and lightning, some people in the Zhang family may have inappropriate thoughts.

"It is likely that it will be left unresolved."

Chu Chen glanced at the information in his hand and smiled.

This information comes from Tiantong Jinzhuang, which records the whereabouts of Chen Xiuping.

After taking action that day, Chen Xiuping set off directly to Xiaoyao Domain for refuge.

Xiaoyao Domain is separated from Yuanwu Domain by several domains. Even at the peak of the Zhang family, it is impossible for the Zhang family to reach out to Xiaoyao Domain.

Not to mention the current Zhang family.

This matter is destined to have no result.
