C41 (1/2)
At the main hall of the Zhou Mansion.
Currently, there were quite a number of figures seated in the large hall. The one who sat at the front was naturally the leader of the Zhou clan, Zhou Hao. Below him, were all the clan elders.
Cang Yun and Zhou Xian'er were also seated beside Zhou Hao. However, the two juniors in the large hall were not used to such an atmosphere. Both of them lowered their heads and remained silent.
”Alright, everyone calm down.” Zhou Hao's gaze swept across the great hall before opening his mouth to speak. He suppressed the clamorous atmosphere and said, ”Today's meeting of the clan is mainly about announcing two things to everyone.”
”First of all, since Xian'er has successfully obtained the inheritance of the Zhou Family's Ancestor, I declare that from today onwards, she will inherit the position of the Young Master of the Sunfire Realm. After I abdicate, she will inherit the position of the Sunfire Realm Master. Everyone, do you have any objections?”
As Zhou Hao's solemn voice sounded out, the entire hall was completely silent. No one objected, obviously everyone had already expected this news, after all, Zhou Xian'er was originally Zhou Hao's only daughter, and now that she had obtained the inheritance of the Zhou Family's ancestor, the position would naturally belong to her.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Zhou Hao nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he continued: ”The second matter, after discussion with the ancestor, decided that the Yan Yang World will ally with the Vastheaven World. In the future, we will work together to promote and develop together.”
”Vastheaven Realm? An alliance? ”
However, as Zhou Hao's words fell, the originally silent atmosphere instantly turned coquettish and chaotic. Everyone's faces were filled with surprise and puzzlement.
A strong and weak alliance was obviously difficult for them to accept as experts. Moreover, now that the Zhou Family had obtained the inheritance of the ancestors, their status would also rise greatly in the future. Therefore, in their opinion, other than being a burden, such an alliance was meaningless.
”Sector lord, can we discuss this alliance further?” A village elder couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing these words, everyone turned their gazes towards Zhou Hao. With a frown on their faces, it was obvious that no one was optimistic about this alliance.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Zhou Hao frowned and said, ”You all know about Zhou An's report. If it weren't for your nephew Cang Yun's help, the Zhou family would probably have had to wait for thousands of years for this inheritance. Is this not enough for our Zhou family to be grateful?”
”This …”
Zhou Hao's words caused many of the Zhou Family Patriarchs to be speechless. When Zhou An had come out, he had reported everything that had happened in the Zhou Family. Everyone knew that for the Zhou Family to obtain this inheritance, Cang Yun had done a great deal.
”Since the sector lord has mentioned this, I too would like to say it.” However, the Great Elder of the Zhou family suddenly said, ”Although Zhou Jun did not follow the orders, he is still a disciple of our Zhou family. However, the Great Elder of the Zhou family suddenly said,” Although Zhou Jun did not follow the orders, he is still a disciple of our Zhou family.
”Indeed. Although Zhou Jun has made a mistake, he is still one of the most outstanding disciples of our Zhou Family. As long as we punish him a little, he will become a pillar of our Zhou Family in the future. Abandoning his cultivation is indeed a bit too excessive.” One of the Zhou family elders also echoed.
As the two clan elders spoke, the entire atmosphere in the large hall changed. Everyone's gazes gathered on the silent Cang Yun, who was standing beside Zhou Hao with his head slightly lowered.
This made him, as a Boundary Master, feel rather embarrassed. However, when his gaze landed on Cang Yun, who was standing to one side and saw the calm expression on the latter's face, he muttered to himself for a moment before choosing to remain silent. He wanted to see just how this youngster would handle such an accusation.
”I got this from Zhou Jun.”
