C41 (2/2)
He unhurriedly took out the fiery-red explosion bead from his storage ring. After which, his eyes met with the eyes of everyone in the hall as he said, ”I think that everyone knows the meaning behind it even without me saying it.”
”Explosion Bead?”
”The flame energy inside is so familiar …”
Everyone's expressions changed when they saw the fiery-colored bead in Cang Yun's hand. They were all clan elders of the Zhou clan, so they could naturally feel the power within the bead. It was a power exclusive to the Zhou clan.
”Zhou Jun actually took out this thing?” Zhou Hao's expression changed as he stared at Cang Yun, and asked gravely. This was because he could feel that the berserk energy within the explosion bead was at least at the sixth layer of the Secret Treasure Trove. This posed a fatal threat to the disciples participating in the trial.
”It is indeed his. However, everyone should understand that this item is not something that he can refine.” Cang Yun nodded his head, and then looked around at the group of elders in the hall, and said with a smile that was not a smile.
Cang Yun was not surprised by the crowd's reaction. Zhou An's identity contained many mysteries that he would naturally not reveal to others. Thus, he most likely concealed many key things during his report, such as the matter of him blocking the explosive bead.
”In other words, Zhou Jun's actions and actions were supported by others?” Zhou Hao instantly understood what Cang Yun meant. He narrowed his eyes and swept the hall with his cold gaze.
Under his dignified gaze, the entire hall fell into silence once more. Everyone here was an experienced individual, so they knew that regardless of whether they did it or not, it was not the time to make a sound.
If Zhou Jun succeeded, not only would it affect the inheritance, but Cang Yun and Zhou Xian'er's lives would also be in danger. Furthermore, if Zhou Hao successfully obtained the inheritance, then the supporters behind the Zhou family would be able to use this as an opportunity to take over the position of the world lord. At that time, the Zhou family would definitely fall into chaos.
”Someone, bring Zhou Jun here!” Thus, Zhou Hao immediately shouted out an order.
”Sector lord, Zhou Jun's cultivation was crippled and he couldn't withstand such a blow. He committed suicide.” Hearing this, the First Elder by the side stood up and said.
”Suicide?”
With a 'whoosh', Zhou Hao's gaze focused on the Great Elder who had spoken. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he coldly said, ”So you're saying that there's no way to investigate it?”
”Looks like it.” Under the pressure of Zhou Hao's aura, the First Elder lowered his head. A strange glint that was barely noticeable flashed across his eyes as he spoke.
The hall became silent again. After a while, Zhou Hao said expressionlessly: ”If that's the case, then Zhou Jun is the crime of betraying the clan. Therefore, it's understandable for Cang Yun's nephew to abandon his cultivation.”
Everyone was silent. Even the Great Elder, who was the first to denounce Cang Yun, chose to remain silent after a slight hesitation.
”Alright, the alliance is complete. The rest of you can leave. Cang Yun and Xian'er will stay behind.”
Seeing this, Zhou Hao waved his hand and decided on this matter. When the Zhou clan elders heard this, they all left the meeting hall.
