C19 (1/2)

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Under Zhou Tong's scheming, Zheng Family's plans were temporarily put on hold. Without the Supreme Celestial supporting them, Zheng Family's actions had lost all of their confidence.

The head of the Zhou family had been completely exterminated after this incident. More than twenty people had been taken captive and exterminated. The head of the Zhou family had refused to admit his guilt, so after the decision from the elders, he was directly killed. So far, the Zheng Family had lost the initiative, the dispute between the two families could only come to a temporary end.

What surprised Zhou Tong was that, originally, he was extremely close to the Great Clan Elder, but recently, he drew a clear line between himself and the Great Clan Elder. Zhou Kang, who was initially following behind Zhou Lin and acting as his leader, had a drastic change in attitude.

After a few days, he dressed himself and came to the Zhou Mansion to lead Zhou Tong to his sect.

”Brother, you've been gone for ten years this time. Take care of yourself. Wan'er will definitely cultivate well and wait for you to come back to check on her.”

On Zhou Wan’er's waist was a pure green level flexible sword that Zhou Tong had specially forged for this purpose. She pouted her lips as she pulled on Zhou Tong's sleeves, unwilling to part with him.

As he said that, Zhou Wan’er's voice turned into a sobbing tone. Even if they knew that Zhou Tong was going for the Zhou Family's future, they would still be extremely reluctant to part with him for the next ten years.

”Be good, you have to listen to dad and big brother Zhou Yun's words at home. I will be back soon. ”

Zhou Tong stooped down and hugged Zhou Wan’er, then pointed at Zhou Wan’er's nose, his face filled with a doting expression.

”Fourth brother, I'll leave Wan-Er to you. Do not neglect your own cultivation and have more time to guide Wan-Er.” Zhou Tong walked to Zhou Yun's side and solemnly handed Zhou Wan’er over to Zhou Yun.

”Don't worry, third brother. With me here, I won't let anyone bully Wan'er. When you come back, I will travel with you.” Zhou Yun extended his hand out to take his sister, raised a fist and extended it towards Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong laughed, he extended his fist and clashed it with Zhou Yun's, then turned to Zhou Kang, the two of them looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, Zhou Kang finally opened his mouth and said, ”Third brother, I was in the wrong before. I know you won't forgive me, but if there's a chance, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will definitely make amends with you.”

”Right, I won't forgive you,” Zhou Tong sighed expressionlessly and turned around, ”I won't look for trouble with you, but I won't call you second brother anymore. You better take care of yourself, if you dare to harm the family, or Fourth Brother and Wan'er, your fate will be a hundred times worse than Zhou Lin's.”

With that, Zhou Tong stepped onto the majestic flying sword.

”Father, Aunt, Elders, please take care.”

Zhou Tong slowly rose into the air on his flying sword, his hands cupped into fists, and bowed deeply towards his father and the others.

Zhou Yuchuan brought his family of elders and children and watched Zhou Tong disappear into the horizon before he dismissed everyone.

Ten years was nothing but a flick of a finger for cultivators. Even cultivators with such solemn profound strength would have a lifespan of nearly five hundred years, but for mortals, ten years was far too long, so long that no one dared to look forward to it.

Stepping on the flying sword, Zhou Tong opened his arms wide, forcefully breathing in the cold air. This kind of familiar feeling couldn't help but relax Zhou Tong's entire body. The yearning for power deep down in his bones, almost made Zhou Tong want to shout out loud.

”I didn't notice that you had quite the talent for flying swords. The little imps of your generation, upon getting on the flying sword for the first time, are almost trembling in fear. She solemnly turned her head to glance at Zhou Tong and chuckled.

Zhou Tong did not reply, he was laughing in his heart. In his previous life, a flying sword at this speed wasn't even as fast as his own feet.

After a moment, Zhou Tong looked at him and laughed: ”The matter with the Zheng Family, I think it has given you a lot of trouble?”

He solemnly waved his hand. With regards to the Zheng Family, it was just a matter of a few words. How could a mere mortal dare to offend the might of an immortal?

You don't have the guts to doubt my decision, but you, I can see, your determination is way stronger than your peers. If you do not have the relationship of Zheng Family, I am actually very interested in becoming friends with you.

Zhou Tong did not reply, and only smiled noncommittally.

After a long while, the Cang Lan City had completely disappeared into the horizon. The two of them flew for ten thousand kilometers, and it wasn't until dusk that a city that was several times more magnificent than the Cang Lan City appeared in their line of sight.
