"You're just a little housekeeper. What are you yelling about? We can't mess up at this time. Otherwise, we'll only get into trouble." The middle-aged man sitting next to him said with a frown. His face was full of dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Our Zhong family is the number one martial arts family in Chu Zhou City. The more critical the moment, the more stable we should be. If that demon dares to come, we'll make sure he doesn't return!" The old man in the middle also echoed.
Last night's incident happened at two or three o 'clock in the morning. When most people were already asleep, a disaster suddenly came. Three large martial arts families were in trouble. As the local hegemon of Chu Zhou City, the Zhong family was the first to hear the news, including some videos of the situation nearby.
After watching the video, they found a mysterious red-haired man. Whether it was the location of the incident or the time, it was surprisingly consistent. Although high-definition cameras with night vision were used on the streets, the red-haired man's face was shrouded in a layer of black fog, like a strange veil, and his appearance could not be seen at all.
After some discussion, they came to a conclusion that this red-haired man was most likely a legendary person of the Diabolism, and his strength was quite terrifying.
The records of people of the Diabolism could be traced back to thousands of years ago. At that time, hundreds of schools of thought competed with each other. It could be said that it was a veritable golden age of martial arts. Although martial artists had a good environment to grow up in, it was inevitable that some martial artists were eager for quick success. In order to climb up the ranks, they killed and robbed others. Moreover, they used unorthodox methods to absorb other people's cultivation.
There was no doubt that this was a manifestation of a twisted human nature, and it also corrupted the culture of martial arts. It was under this background that some people went astray and went astray.
For ordinary martial artists, going astray basically meant that their cultivation would be ruined. However, there were exceptions. The simplest example was surrendering to the heart demon. Although it could protect oneself, one's own power would also be turned into the power of darkness. In this way, one would become a person of the Diabolism and be despised by the righteous.
Moreover, the righteous and the Diabolism had been at odds for thousands of years. However, in the last few hundred years, there was no news of the appearance of a person of the Diabolism. Therefore, when some martial artists read the records in the ancient books, they thought it was just a story.
However, some very convincing evidence had now appeared, which almost unanimously confirmed one point — the people of the Devil Dao had already returned to Jianghu!
After the Zhong Family received the news, they urgently held a family meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
To some extent, the Zhong Family was one of the most powerful martial arts families in Chu Zhou City. If something were to happen to them, it would mean the fall of Chu Zhou City.
"Ahem, Masters, it's not that I doubt the Zhong Family's background and strength, but there are some things that we need to play it safe. In my opinion, we might as well hand over those documents and videos to the higher-ups. They definitely won't sit idly by and do nothing. If they can send reinforcements, it can also reduce some of the pressure, right?" The old butler braced himself and said.
The Zhong Clan's ancestor couldn't help but nod. In truth, their Zhong Clan also had an unshirkable responsibility for this. If they didn't make the right decision, they would only invite trouble upon themselves. The severity of this matter wasn't something these relatives could imagine.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a magnetic male voice.
"It's not that serious. Let's report it now. If word gets out and we anger the people of the Demonic Path, it will only backfire." The person who came was none other than Zhong Yuchen, the well-deserved leader of the Zhong family.
"Little Chen, are you feeling better?"
Zhong Yuanqiu turned his head and asked with concern. Last night, Zhong Yuchen said that he wasn't feeling well, so he went back to his room to rest. As the number one genius of the Zhong Family, he had countless halos above his head and was deeply loved by Zhong Yuanqiu.
"Yes, I'm much better. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa." Zhong Yuchen nodded and looked good.
"You must stay calm. You can't have a problem with your mentality. Sooner or later, you will have a place in the top three of the provincial roll," Zhong Yuqiu said with a smile.
"Top three of the provincial roll … Grandpa, can you be more ambitious? Top three of the national roll is more like it!" Zhong Yuchen said grumpily.
"Huh?" Zhong Yuqiu was obviously surprised, and even the elders next to him had a strange look on their faces.
Ever since Zhong Yuchen's fight last time, his ranking on the provincial roll had plummeted. There was no doubt that it had brought an unprecedented blow to him.
On the contrary, that lad had achieved an incomparably dazzling performance in the capital. He had only been there for a short period of time, but he had already gained a firm foothold. Not only that, he had also created an unprecedented and proud achievement, which had also given Nanyun martial arts a resounding reputation.
Nowadays in Nan Yun, as long as one was a martial artist or even some martial arts enthusiasts, they all knew that name. It was as if a popular star had been born!
Zhong Yuchen must have also heard the shocking news. The opponent he had disdained was now ranked fourth on the national roll and third on the provincial roll in the capital. When he returned in triumph, it would be a true return to his hometown, and it would be enough to win the respect of the whole province.
"Oh, Xiao Chen, the top three of the provincial roll is enough. The national roll is very deep, and it's not so easy to get in."
Zhong Yuanqiu shook his head and said. In fact, he was full of doubts about the specific process of the dojo challenge. After all, almost all the media avoided the important and focused on the trivial in spreading the news, which could show the seriousness of the problem. Often, the fewer the words, the less detailed the report, the more secrets there were.
However, with his strong connections, Zhong Yuqiu still found out some things. After all, it was difficult to hide the death of Zhou Zi 'ang and the funeral from the public. Moreover, there were more than a hundred people present. As the saying goes, there is no wall in the world that does not have ears. When the ancestor of the Zhong family learned about the specific situation, he was immediately moved. It was said that even the number one Qi-Jin master of Hua Xia extended an olive branch to that boy on the spot, but was rejected.
What kind of unbelievable news was this? It was not an exaggeration to say that this brat had already surpassed Nan Yun and the other young geniuses by several levels. Even his grandson paled in comparison.
Therefore, when Zhong Yuchen confidently announced his goal, the Zhong family couldn't help but sigh.
"Grandpa, just wait and see. I think the demon has probably already left Chu Zhou City!" Zhong Yuchen said confidently.
