Chapter 2329: Zhang Zhou Gains Water

Zhang Zhou nodded, a smile of excitement spreading across his face: “I knew that loyalty to the master wasn’t wrong.”

Seeing Zhang Zhou’s excited expression, Yigen, Xue Keke nodded in satisfaction; he liked this kind of flattery.

Yet Yigen, Xue Keke failed to notice that as Zhang Zhou left, the eyes on his head all gleamed with brilliance.

Zhang Zhou hailed from a plane filled with seawater, known to its inhabitants as the Sea God Plane.

The Sea God Plane was favored by the sea, with several powerful Dragon Kings, unmatched by anyone.

And Zhang Zhou was a powerful Prime Minister under one of the Dragon Kings.

For many years, several Dragon Kings fought among themselves for sovereign power over the plane, eventually ending in mutual defeat. At that moment, the Blood God Plane’s people invaded the Sea God Plane.

The Demon Clan of the Sea God Plane all became food and servants to the strong of the Blood God Plane.

Fighting was futile; the difference in power was too great. Zhang Zhou had no choice; using his wisdom, he chose to surrender.

He bore the stigma and carried the shame, yet continued to endure humiliation.

Then, not long ago, he received news that the Sea God Plane had collapsed. The dissolution of the Sovereign Power due to the Corrosion by the Blood God Plane’s Blood Ancestor from the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect caused the Sea God Plane to vanish among the myriad planes.

Zhang Zhou was deeply frustrated; he hadn’t had the chance to take revenge, nor to return to the Sea God Plane.

He spent many years as a slave, striving to please the Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Clan, but it was all in vain.

Zhang Zhou originally wanted to take action, but he knew his strength was too weak. With no other choice, he could only retreat and go elsewhere to make some moves.

Just then, Yigen proposed going to the Taoyuan World, and Zhang Zhou was very excited, promptly suggesting to the Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Clan that he should accompany Yigen on the journey to the Taoyuan World.

The Clan Leader was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected his loyal servant to want to accompany his son to the Taoyuan World.

He stared at Zhang Zhou for a long time before speaking: “Why do you want to go to the Taoyuan World?”

“Master, Young Master Yigen has reached an age of understanding. Many things, instead of being pushed by you behind the scenes, should let them realize themselves quickly. This time, you can also bring Young Master Dadun along; Dadun has always been somewhat scheming, and I can help him mature quickly between them.”

Zhang Zhou naturally knew the biggest ailment in the heart of the Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Clan.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhou’s words, the Clan Leader burst into laughter: “Know me well, Zhang Zhou does. Zhang Zhou, you are very considerate. Compared to those two sycophants, you are a capable minister. You say you can change Yigen, but I don’t know how you plan to change him.”

“Forgive my boldness, Master, but I want to pledge my loyalty at the side of the eldest young master.”

Zhang Zhou remained silent for a long time before raising his head, looking at the Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Clan.

Betrayal is always the most disgraceful thing. However, some betrayals that are acknowledged are a significant contribution.

The Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Clan remained stunned for a long time before slowly closing his eyes: “Granted.”

Zhang Zhou left the room of the Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Family, who watched his departing figure with a look of regret.

“With such a capable minister, how could my Xue Keke Clan not flourish?”

The Clan Leader of the Xue Keke Clan laughed heartily.

Yet, the Xue Keke Clan Leader did not know that his dinner that night was the last remaining kin of Zhang Zhou.

Without any remaining ties, Zhang Zhou followed Yigen into the plane passage, arriving at the Taoyuan World. Yigen truly did not disappoint him. This incompetent fool would become the key to the Xue Keke Clan’s destruction.

“Young Master Dadun.”

Everything thought of previously gradually became vague, Zhang Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

Glancing at Zhang Zhou beside him, Dadun nodded: “Zhang Zhou, you are Father’s advisor; speak your mind directly.”

“Like this, Young Master Dadun. This time, Young Master Yigen asked me to follow you mainly to monitor you. However, I think such matters, I really don’t dare do such as a servant. Now, since we have arrived on this island, why don’t we go our separate ways?”

Zhang Zhou smiled at Dadun and said.

Dadun’s eyes narrowed; naturally, he knew Zhang Zhou might be sent to monitor him. However, Zhang Zhou wanted to leave; what was going on? Wasn’t he afraid to be scolded by Yigen?

“Zhang Zhou, you are Father’s servant; although you can ignore my elder brother’s words, my elder brother is currently in charge. If he wants to act against you, I cannot help you.”

Dadun glanced at Zhang Zhou and then spoke.

Zhang Zhou grinned, then said: “Don’t worry, Young Master Dadun, Young Master Yigen is different from you, he’s easily deceived. With some verbal trickery to deal with him, he should still think I’m following you. I just want to be on good terms with Young Master Dadun. When you become Clan Leader, I ask you not to trouble Zhang Zhou.”

Zhang Zhou’s words made Dadun laugh loudly; “Hahahahahaha, what a Zhang Zhou. Very well, I agree. We’ll go our separate ways, keeping in touch. When we return victorious, there will be rewards for you.”

“Thank you, Young Master Dadun.”

Zhang Zhou slightly bowed to Dadun, his body leaping into the seawater.

The long-lost chill, the long-lost tides, the feeling of the seawater enveloping his body, indescribably wonderful.

“This is the life I want. This is everything I want. The Twin Clan, who once betrayed the Xue Keke Clan’s race, I’m going to find them. This way, I will have new life; the blood debt of the Xue Keke Clan, we will reclaim it. Clan members, I, Zhang Zhou, vow that the Xue Keke Clan and the Blood God Plane will certainly be destroyed, and at my hands, Zhang Zhou.”

The sound of Zhang Zhou’s angry roar incessantly spread through the seawater. His body slowly shrank, transforming into an inky-blue octopus, swimming leisurely.

The Immortal Craftsman Tournament held in Source Stone City indeed attracted many people. In just one month, thousands of people have entered the competition.

Perhaps due to the Immortal Craftsman Tournament, the targets of smaller forces seeking affiliation have become more diverse. Tang Ming’s recruitment station set up here hasn’t amassed too many people.

“Tomorrow is the first contest. Wonder what everyone will be crafting.”

Yao Jian stood beside the furnace, polishing his hammer, and said.

“Who knows? But, City Lord, what will you be crafting?”

Barton Nake clearly was more interested in what Tang Ming would be crafting.
