Chapter 328 The Zhang Family: Where the People's Hearts Are Set
After sealing the speech acupoints of several people, he looked at the crowd and said:
"Everyone, I apologize."
It is our dereliction of duty to make you have a bad experience in the city!
But don't worry, as long as the Zhang family remains in the city.
This will prevent the Azure Sea Immortal Sect from acting arrogantly and domineeringly!
If a similar incident occurs again, do not argue with the disciples of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, otherwise you will only suffer losses.
But you can come to my Zhang family to seek justice.
The Zhang family will definitely seek justice for you and stand up for you!
Zhang Xuanchen once told them not to underestimate independent cultivators and small forces.
As the lowest level of the cultivation world, this type of cultivator is the most numerous.
The rise and fall of a market town and the immortal city are closely related to this group of people.
Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.
This statement applies everywhere.
If it incites public outrage, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will not have a good ending.
Zhang Xuanhu's words could both severely damage the reputation of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect and leave a good impression of the Zhang family in the minds of these people.
When the Zhang family unifies the Penglai Islands, even if they build another immortal city, there will be no shortage of visitors.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Xuanhu's words...
The crowd cheered.
"Excellent! This is the demeanor a great family should have!"
"If only the Zhang family could unify the Penglai Islands, I would spend all my savings to settle down in Yunhua Immortal City!"
"Long live the Zhang family!"
"Long live the Zhang family!"
"Long live the Zhang family!"
Zhang Xuanhu was very pleased to have successfully won over the hearts of the people.
After helping the elderly man up from the ground and comforting him, he turned his attention to Zhang Chongxian.
Because the straw hat on his head covered most of his face, Zhang Xuanhu didn't recognize him, but felt that he was somewhat familiar.
But upon seeing the woman beside Zhang Chongxian, he instantly became certain.
The person in front of me is definitely not my ancestor.
The ancestor was devoted to the Dao, so how could there be women by his side?
He stepped forward, bowed to Zhang Chongxian, and said:
"Senior, on my way here, I overheard Zhan Hu saying some vulgar things to your partner."
This is not your fault, but the Immortal City has its own rules.
You will still be punished if you violate city rules; otherwise, if everyone follows suit, then the rules will no longer be rules.
Please forgive me, senior.
Hearing this, Zhang Chongxian couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Am I about to get scolded by a junior?
However, he was indeed reckless at this point; he should have brought Zhan Hu into the Zhang family's territory before killing him.
With so many people watching, it's really not easy to get in through connections.
Even if he was in the right, he still violated the strict rule against fighting in the city.
What's more, he also killed someone.
He looked at Zhang Xuanhu and joked:
"Your Zhang family wouldn't be plotting to kill me secretly, would you?"
"Of course not! Senior, you can rest assured. You are in the right, so you will be dealt with leniently," Zhang Xuanhu hurriedly said.
With so many people watching, I can't let others misunderstand.
Even now, he still doesn't recognize Zhang Chongxian.
It's not surprising that he didn't recognize him; in fact, in the nearly forty years since he was born, he had only seen Zhang Chongxian once.
All they saw were portraits, and Zhang Chongxian's voice was completely unfamiliar to them.
Then, Zhang Xuanhu escorted the six members of the Bihai Immortal Sect, along with Zhang Chongxian and Chu Zhiwei, towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion of Yunhua Immortal City is located on a third-tier spiritual vein.
It contains the power of three factions: the Zhang family, the Su family, and the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.
Each of the three factions sent a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator to oversee the City Lord's Mansion.
All matters, large and small, that occur within the city are decided through consultation among the three parties.
When they reached a deserted alley, Zhang Chongxian suddenly stopped.
This terrified Zhang Xuanhu.
He immediately took out two second-tier low-grade spirit talismans from his storage bag.
The others also drew their weapons and stood ready for battle.
"What are you doing, senior?"
Zhang Chongxian smiled and took off his straw hat.
He unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, sealing off the surrounding space.
He said softly, "Young Xuanhu, take a good look at who I am."
What's wrong?
You really want to take me to the city lord's mansion for punishment?
It seems I'll have to make more appearances in front of the younger generation from now on.
Otherwise, you never know when your own descendants might throw you in jail.
Upon seeing Zhang Chongxian's face, Zhang Xuanhu froze on the spot.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He then exclaimed with delight, "Ancestor! It's actually you!"
Zhang Xuanhu pays respects to the Ancestor!
Zhang Xuanfeng and his eighteen retainers bowed respectfully.
"We pay our respects to our ancestor!"
Zhang Chongxian smiled and waved his hand, "No need for formalities."
Xuanhu and Xuanfeng did a great job this time, they made me proud.
Sigh, time really flies.
"In the blink of an eye, you're almost forty. In thirteen years, the next mortal to awaken a spiritual root will be of the 'De' generation."
Zhang Chongxian looked emotional, but also very happy.
After all, the Zhang family did not show any signs of decline under his leadership; on the contrary, it grew stronger day by day.
He did not disappoint his father's expectations.
Hearing Zhang Chongxian's praise, Zhang Xuanhu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
I never expected that my second meeting with my ancestor after so many years would turn out like this.
That's really true...
"Ancestor, this is what we should do."
"Um... Ancestor, I didn't recognize you at first glance. Please punish me."
Zhang Xuanhu was different from the clan elders and Zhang Xuanchen; he didn't meet the ancestor very often.
Some people only showed respect, and dared not joke around.
As for the family retainers standing to the side, they dared not do anything more. Seeing the Golden Core cultivator who was usually elusive and rarely seen, they didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
I was both excited and panicked.
Zhang Chongxian noticed this as well, and patted Zhang Xuanhu and Zhang Xuanfeng on the shoulder with a smile, saying in a relaxed tone:
"What punishment is not your fault."
There was someone there just now, so even I, as the old patriarch, couldn't just go through the back door.
As for now, let's kill those six people.
Zhan Hu spoke disrespectfully to my Daoist partner, the Ancestor; he deserves to be killed.
The way those six people looked at Zhiwei at that time also made me very unhappy.
So they were all killed.
Daoist partners?
The Ancestor has a Daoist partner?!
Zhang Xuanhu and Zhang Xuanfeng looked at each other in disbelief; this news was truly unexpected!
Wasn't it rumored that the patriarch was devoted to Taoism and had no interest in women?
How come you suddenly have a Daoist partner?
They stared in disbelief at Chu Zhiwei, who was smiling and greeting them.
What is it about this woman that she possesses enough to win over her own patriarch's heart?!
Is she pretty?
For two hundred years, Zhang Chongxian has been famous, and every woman who pursued him was beautiful.
But now is clearly not the time to consider these things.
He immediately bowed respectfully to Chu Zhiwei as a junior.
"Zhang Xuanhu (Zhang Xuanfeng) pays his respects..."
"My name is Chu Zhiwei. You can call me Ancestor Chu from now on," Chu Zhiwei reminded him with a smile.
"Greetings, Ancestor Chu!"
"Good, good, good!" Chu Zhiwei stepped forward and personally helped the two up, unfastening two storage bags from her waist and placing them into their hands, saying happily:
"Nice to meet you. This is a gift for you. It's not much, but it represents my heartfelt wishes."
From now on, we're family.
If you need anything, just tell me. I'll definitely help if I can!
Don't be shy with me!
