Chapter 2128: Chapter 1990: Coming to Apologize

Eastern Domain!

The mountains stretch endlessly, resembling a roaming dragon!

Amidst the peaks and ridges lie patches of buildings, like a utopia.

Streams cascade gently, waterfalls roar like thunder, Spiritual Medicines grow in the mountains, and tame mutant beasts wander through the forests.

The ancient Zhou Family is nestled within these almost fairy-like mountain woods.

Immortal Swords soar, and Divine Rainbows cross the skies!

The Zhou Family’s direct disciples either ride the Divine Rainbow or step into the void, continuously coming and going. It is particularly lively, full of vitality.

As an ancient family that can rival the Holy Lands, the Zhou Family has a powerful influence throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

The Saint of the Zhou Family is always deeply calculative, his emotions hard to detect, giving an inexplicable sense of depth.

However, at this moment, his face was ashen, his eyes flickering with flames, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

Just now!

Just now, he received reports from the family’s direct disciples that Zhou Zhaohu, whom he valued most, was killed. Even his Divine Soul could not escape, utterly disintegrated into ashes.

This blow caused his vision to go black, nearly making him faint.

Zhou Zhaohu was a newly-rising young genius of the Zhou Family, second only to the Saint Heir Zhou Zhaolong. Barring unforeseen events, he was sure to become a Saint in the future and protect the family for thousands of years, letting the Zhou Family continue to prosper.

Yet—

Now all hope perished with his death!

He was dead, killed on the edge of the Xuanshou Mountain Range, in the desert thousands of miles away, his body shattered, Divine Soul turned to dust.

"Who did this?"

The face of the Saint of the Zhou Family was extremely ugly as he loudly roared, "Investigate, investigate it thoroughly for me!"

He could not accept this result and immediately ordered the clansmen to investigate who had crushed the future hope of their family.

"It’s ... the Central Plains Sacred Land!"

The disciple who came to report said through gritted teeth, seething with hatred.

"The Central Plains Sacred Land?"

The Saint of the Zhou Family was taken aback for a moment, not reacting instantly.

"The Holy Land founded by Ye." Someone next to him reminded.

"Him?"

The face of the Zhou Family’s Saint instantly turned somber, his eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, emitted a fierce light, his whole body erupting with an intense killing intent.

"Too much bullying!"

The voice of the Zhou Family’s Saint was cold and harsh, eyes fierce, grinding his teeth, "Ye, my Zhou Family will never coexist with you!"

"Calm down, Saint!"

A Supreme Elder of the Zhou Family approached, speaking coldly, "Saint, this matter requires careful deliberation; we must not act rashly. Otherwise, not only might we fail to avenge Hu’er, but we could also put ourselves in a disadvantageous position."

"Indeed!"

The face of the Saint of the Zhou Family was dark as he said, "We need to plan well, otherwise, it might backfire and we end up courting trouble unnecessarily."

He also knew that the present Ye Fan was not what he used to be; killing ten Saint Lord Level strong people without leaving a trace. With just their family, avenging against Ye Fan was nearly impossible.

"Contact the Li Family, Gu Family, Liang Family, Youyun Family..."

The Saint of the Zhou Family paced back and forth in the grand hall, eventually coming up with a clever plan, instructing his clan members to invite the leaders of the nine major families to discuss how to deal with the Central Plains Sacred Land.

He understood clearly that since ten Saint Lord Level strong people had been killed, those families also harbored deep hatred towards Ye Fan, but knowing they were at fault didn’t dare to retaliate openly.

This incident could just serve as a catalyst, old grievances and new scores could be settled together.

Ye Fan establishing the Central Plains Sacred Land would surely infringe upon many interests, and not many would welcome the rise of the Central Plains Sacred Land, splitting their share of the pie.

...

Three days later, the Saints of the nine major families arrived as scheduled, gathering at the Zhou Family Ancestral Land.

"Fellow Daoists, today I have invited you over to discuss a very important matter together!"

As the Ten Great Families’ Saints gathered, the head of the Zhou Family spoke first, his tone particularly grave.

"What important matter?"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master furrowed his brows slightly, speaking with a calm expression.

He had a vague feeling that something was amiss, but could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"As everyone knows, after being thrown into the chaotic flow of time and space by the Di Family Ancestor, Ye did not die and has recently returned!"

The head of the Zhou Family pondered briefly before speaking.

"Ye, that kid, his life is too resilient; not only did he escape from the Di Family Ancestor, but he also did not die in the chaotic flow of time and space!"

"I truly regret not having killed him while he was in his cradle back then, let him fully mature, causing each of our families to lose a strong person!"

"Yes, had I known, we should have risked wiping him out back then!"

...

Undoubtedly, the Zhou Family’s Head analyzed it very accurately. After Ye Fan’s return, although knowing they were at fault, various families and sacred lands, fearing retaliation, shared a deep hatred towards Ye Fan. As soon as he mentioned Ye Fan, voices of anger and regret followed one after another.

"Alas..."

Once a few saints finished speaking, the head of the Zhou Family deliberately sighed, seeing he regained everyone’s attention, "What you don’t know is that this time, Ye is coming back for revenge!"

"What?"

"Revenge? Could it be that he’s going to take action against our families?"

"Even if you gave him the guts, he wouldn’t dare??"

The words of the Saint of the Zhou Family once again caused an uproar.

"He has already done so..." The head of the Zhou Family sighed, with a face full of depression and anger.

"What exactly is going on? Brother Zhou, please elaborate."

The Gu Family’s Saint Master spoke up, and the hall fell silent.

"The story goes like this..."

The Saint of the Zhou Family narrated the incident where Zhou Zhaohu went out for training but was killed without reason by the people from the Central Plains Sacred Land.

Of course, all of this was merely his speculation, without a shred of hard evidence, but he was firmly convinced of his conjecture.
