Terrifying？
In the room, Zhou Lin, Zhou Sen, and Zhou Xuan all looked at Zhou Ye with startling eyes.
Zhou Ye put down the teacup and said lightly, “Our eldest brother has a total of four children, Chunshan, Xia Lei, Qiu Yi, and Dongxue…”
”Back then, after our eldest sister-in-law died, our eldest brother left the Taiwei Domain and returned to the Xuanyuan Domain. The three children, Chunshan, Xia Lei, and Qiu Yi, are all in our Zhou Clan. Over the years, they have been close to us and are rather… indifferent to their biological father…”
”Only Dongxue, this girl… was the youngest back then, but she is not close to us. Instead, she cares more about her father… Perhaps, this is related to the fact that she was present when our eldest sister-in-law had an accident back then…”
At this point, Zhou Lin couldn’t help but say, “Big brother, when that sister-in-law had an accident back then, Dongxue was indeed present, but she… didn’t see anything, nor did she know what Mr. Ding did to that sister-in-law…”
Zhou Ye waved his hand, interrupting Zhou Lin’s words, and said, “Really don’t know？ When that girl was a child, her personality was dull, she delved into alchemy, and made extremely fast progress. She was also the fastest among our next generation to reach the ancient sage realm. But you think about it carefully…”
When this girl was a child, she knew she couldn’t do without the support of the Zhou clan. Therefore, within the family, she never showed off her talents. But later, when she became a disciple of Elder Jiang Yi, she achieved more and more success in the art of alchemy. Has she grown increasingly distant from our Zhou clan?
“And this time, it was she who told Qiu Yi that if something happened to our eldest brother, someone would surely massacre the Zhou clan！”
“That Ye Wu Shuang has energy that cannot be ignored！”
When Zhou Ye said this, Zhou Lin, Zhou Sen, and Zhou Xuan also understood.
“So that’s the case… Dongxue knew when she was a child that her mother was defiled by Lord Ding and had always buried it in her heart…” Zhou Lin sighed.
Actually…
In that year, Pei Yuanze’s wife, Wu Qingyan, was insulted by that Lord Ding, and the Zhou clan was also extremely angry and wanted to kill Lord Ding.
But when they calmed down, everyone knew… it was simply impossible.
That Lord Ding’s strength was too great. Not to mention Lord Ding, even that Tian Yuan Armored Beast in the Heavenly Pool… their Zhou Clan couldn’t defeat it.
Originally, they persuaded that eldest sister-in-law to endure, and everything had been negotiated. But who would have known that that eldest sister-in-law actually died suddenly.
Remembering the scene from that year, Zhou Lin sighed.
He also knew that the entire Zhou Clan owed Pei Yuan Ze a great deal, owed their true big brother.
But…
What could they do？
The family still had to survive！
That Lord Ding defiled Wu Qing Yan. The one who lost face wasn’t just Pei Yuan Ze alone, but also their Zhou Clan.
But for the sake of the family, everyone endured, and Pei Yuan Ze should have endured too.
Zhou Lin didn’t know if Pei Yuan Ze knew about Wu Qing Yan’s matter, but even if he knew, Pei Yuan Ze had to endure.
Wait until one day when the Zhou Clan can be stronger than that Lord Ding, they will definitely kill him and avenge the dead Wu Qing Yan！
”Forget it…”
Zhou Lin waved his hand at this time and said, “Whether Dong Xue knows about Wu Qing Yan’s matter or not, our big brother is now willing to come back and is willing to die for the family. That’s enough. As for that Ye Wu Shuang… if Hong Xing nephew kills him, then let him kill him. He’s not a very important person either.”
Hearing these words, several of the core members nodded one after another.
What else could they do？
They could only do this！
Soon, outside the room, the sound of knocking on the door rang out, and a figure stepped in.
He looked to be in his thirties, with a gentle temperament. He slightly raised his hand and cupped it, saying, “Father, the ceremony is all ready！”
”Hmm…”
Zhou Lin nodded and said, “Has Lord Ding come yet？”
”He said he’s almost here.”
”Alright, when Lord Ding arrives, we’ll prepare to start.”
”Yes.”
A group of several people left the attic and headed towards the Heavenly Pool in the center of the valley.
At this moment, near the edge of the Heavenly Pool, there was a pavilion. Inside the pavilion, several figures gathered here.
Zhou Dongxue in a pill robe was sitting steadily on the futon in the pavilion with her eyes slightly closed. showing no emotion.
Beside her, there were also three middle-aged men and women around forty years old.
”Little sister…”
One of them spoke and said, “Things have come to this point, and there is no other choice.”
”The Blood Turtle Seal on Father’s body… he can no longer bear it. Now it’s time to take it out. This time, it’s Fourth Grandpa who has personally stepped forward to decide to replace Father and continue to carry the Blood Turtle Seal…”
“Zhou Wenwu？ He’s actually willing？” Hearing this, Zhou Dongxue slowly opened her eyes and said in a neither cold nor hot voice, “Our Zhou clan has developed to this day. Our grandfather Zhou Tianyang, second grandfather Zhou Tianfang, third grandfather Zhou Wenxing, and fourth grandfather Zhou Wenwu are all pillars. Now it’s actually the fourth grandfather who is risking his life？ If that’s the case, why didn’t he risk his life to carry the Blood Turtle Seal back then？”
Zhou Chunshan, Zhou Xialei, and Zhou Qiuyi didn’t say a word.
Among the third-generation descendants of the family, this younger sister Zhou Dongxue has extremely good talent and is now at the Ancient Saint realm, while the three of them are still at the True Saint Heaven-Turning realm level.
However, ever since the younger sister left the Zhou clan to study with a master back then and returned again, there has already been a huge estrangement between them.
“So this time, you are going to take out the Blood Turtle Seal from father’s body, transplant it onto Zhou Wenwu, let him continue to carry the Blood Turtle Seal, and then… father will die… and wait until one day when Zhou Wenwu can no longer carry the Blood Turtle Seal, find another one… and so on and so forth
, always sacrificing one member of the family for the prosperity and strength of the entire family！”
Hearing this, Zhou Xialei couldn’t help but say, “What’s wrong with that？”
“Just by sacrificing the life of one family descendant, we can make our Zhou clan develop and grow stronger. Isn’t that okay？”
Zhou Xialei said in a muffled voice, “If I were chosen, I would also do it without hesitation.”
“Moreover, back then, father carried the Blood Turtle Seal, and the four of us siblings have always received preferential treatment in the family. Now that Fourth Grandpa has stepped forward to carry the Blood Turtle Seal, the descendants of his branch will also receive an inclination of family resources…”
There is naturally a gain for every giving, and it is only natural to give for one’s own family. The family has raised us. and it is only right for us to give for the family.
Hearing this, Zhou Dongxue sneered.
“Little sister, I think you have been away from the family for too long and completely forgotten what the family is！”
“Hehe！” Zhou Dongxue said with a cold smile, “That’s right, I have forgotten what the family is. I just don’t know how much the family cares about you, second brother, since you are so loyal to the family.”
“Back then, when I left my family and followed Elder Jiang Yi to practice alchemy, how much hardship and suffering did I endure to achieve what I have today?” ”
“Over the years, ever since I reached True Saint and then Ancient Saint, how many Saint Pills have I contributed to the family？ What I owed to the family, I have paid off！”
“And father… who has carried the Blood Turtle Seal for so many years, what has he owed the family？ He was abandoned by the family when he was a child. When the family needed him, they brought him back, arranged a wife and children for him, just to put the Blood Turtle Seal on him！”
“But father, for the sake of mother and us, was willing to bear it and never complained！”
“Even if mother… Even if mother died, father also wanted to end his life, but in the end, for you, for your children, he still endured it. Otherwise, over the years, staying in the Pei family on the Tianhuang Continent, father would have already died！”
At this point, Zhou Dongxue clenched her hands and said coldly, “Father has never owed the family anything. Instead, it is the family that owes him, and even if the family is exterminated, it is impossible to repay what is owed！”
As soon as these words were spoken, in the two halls, Zhou Chunshan, Zhou Xialei, and Zhou Qiuyi all had a shock in their hearts.
