C36 (2/2)

Based on her nature, she wasn't really that enthusiastic about the inheritance. However, she was the one who had the most hopes of succeeding. For the Zhou family's thousands of years of hope, she was duty-bound.

Just as his figure entered the passageway, Zhou Jun could no longer hold himself back and followed behind.

Seeing this, Cang Yun frowned and followed suit with quick steps. He would definitely not let Zhou Xian'er face that fellow alone.

”Looks like there's going to be another good show to watch.” Zhou An, who was left last, revealed an expectant smile before he too drilled into the passageway.

At this moment, on the plaza behind the Zhou clan's mountain, the entire plaza descended into an excited mood when they saw the speck of light within the hologram.

”After so many years, the seal has finally been broken. There's hope for the legacy.” A Zhou clan elder exclaimed excitedly.

”That's right, the time for our Zhou family to be revived has finally come.” Beside him, the other clan elders were also extremely excited.

However, compared to the excitement of the crowd, Zhou Xian'er's father, Zhou Hao, only had a short moment of pleasant surprise before she started to frown. Doubt and contemplation appeared in her eyes.

This scene was also seen by one of the elders. He immediately asked curiously, ”What's wrong, Sector Lord?”

”Didn't you notice anything abnormal?” Hearing this, Zhou Hao retorted with a question. Under the puzzled gaze of the crowd, he explained: ”According to the records, only those with the same physique as the ancestors could enter that restriction. But now …”

Zhou Hao did not finish his sentence. However, everyone looked thoughtfully at the light curtain once again. When they saw four flickering light spots, they finally came to a realization.

”Perhaps …” The records are not accurate, right? ” A clan elder tried to probe.

When they heard this, most of them nodded their heads in agreement. After all, those records were too far away and it was normal for some errors to occur.

”Maybe.” Zhou Hao replied. However, the contemplative look on his face did not disappear. Instinctively, he felt that this was not the case.

Seeing that, the Great Elder, who had not spoken since the start, suddenly spoke, ”Sector Lord, why do you need to be like this? With so many people entering, wouldn't the chances of passing down the inheritance also increase? You should be happy.”

”I hope so.” Zhou Hao faintly nodded his head. The comforting words of the people beside him actually caused him to feel extremely worried. This was because the matter he was most worried about had still happened.

In the next moment, her gaze was fixated on the screen of light. She was secretly praying that nothing would happen to Xian'Er …

Just like Zhou Hao and the rest, there was also a person in the ancient tower who was closely observing the situation within the trial. After Cang Yun and the rest entered the eighth level of the trial, a faint smile appeared on his aged face.

”Originally, only those with the 'True Phoenix' physique will be able to enter this stage. However, I have changed the rules this time around.” The old man's gaze passed through space and swept over the four people present. After which, it was fixed onto Cang Yun. He smiled with some anticipation as he said, ”After all, only by doing this can I see just what level this little girl has reached.”

In the space within the eighth level of the Refinement Grounds, no one was aware of the old man's plans. Cang Yun stepped into the space, cautiously glancing at Zhou Jun before he quickly walked to the side of Zhou Xian`er.

”Big Brother Cang Yun, thank you.” Zhou Xian'er naturally understood Cang Yun's intentions. A look of gratitude flashed past her eyes as she replied.

Cang Yun smiled and said, ”Why are you talking about this? Can I not care about your matters? Besides, I promised Uncle Zhou.”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhou Xian`er's face as she nodded her head before quickly restraining herself. She knew that this was not the time to continue talking about this.

”Heh, everyone is here. It would seem that everyone has quite some thoughts about this inheritance, no?” After Zhou An walked out from the passageway, Zhou Jun said with a faint smile on his face.

”Then you're wrong, I'm not.” Cang Yun took a step forward, staring at Zhou Jun with a faint smile on his face. ”I'm just here to help.”

”Help?” Zhou Jun's eyes narrowed. His gaze landed on Zhou Xian'er, who was behind Cang Yun. She immediately understood and laughed coldly, ”This is quite a righteous reason.”

Cang Yun shrugged his shoulders, ”It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. The answer will come soon anyway.”

Zhou Jun snorted disdainfully, then shifted his gaze to Zhou An, who had just walked out of the tunnel.

”What about you?” Zhou Jun revealed a serious expression. Compared to Cang Yun and the other two, Zhou An was the person he feared the most.

Hearing that, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Zhou An's calm face. He said, ”If I were to tell you that I am not interested in that inheritance, would you believe me?”

With these words coupled with that brilliant smile, Zhou Jun could faintly read a hint of ridicule within those words, causing his gaze to turn even colder.

”I believe you,” Zhou Jun said with a sneer on his face. ”What the hell!”

”You are very humorous.”

However, Zhou An didn't seem to care at all about Zhou Jun's attitude. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and said, as he had done with Cang Yun.

”But, believe it or not, I'm really just here to watch a show.”
