Zhou's Chamber

When Xia Hengwu walked in, he found that the younger generation of the Zhou clan were all gathered here. However, they all had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. Seeing this scene, Xia Hengwu had a bad premonition.

"How's Zhou Yao doing?" Xia Hun Wu walked in quickly and looked at the three middle-aged men in front. They were Zhou Lie, Zhou Yang, and Zhou Ye. They were the three Great Elders of the Zhou family.

Many people looked at the latter with admiration in their eyes. During the competition that day, Xia Hun Wu defeated Xia Ze, and after that, he killed Xia Yang and his son, revealing his astonishing strength. His battle prowess was even stronger than some of the experts of the Soul Origin Stage, and without them realizing it, Xia Hun Wu had already become the pillar of the Zhou family's younger generation.

"Zhou Wei, what is going on?" Zhou Lie glanced at Xia Hun Wu who had entered, and did not say anything. His gloomy gaze turned towards the ashen-faced Zhou Wei as he said this. Zhou Lie possessed the strength of a second level Soul Essence Realm martial practitioner. Since Zhou Huai wasn't around, the Zhou family focused on him.

Zhou Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I followed young master Zhou Yao in the morning to get the medicines. When I was passing by Evergreen Village, I encountered an ambush from the Lee family. They asked me to pass this message to you!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Lie frowned. If the Li and Xia Family were to join hands, perhaps...!

"If you want, if Zhou Yao doesn't die, then trade Zhou Huai's head for it!"

"This Li family really deserves to die!" He clenched his hands into fists. His eyes were cold and gloomy.

"Did the person who attacked see it clearly?" Anger appeared in Zhou Lie's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

"Li Shan!" Zhou Wei answered.

"Li Shan can have the strength of a Soul Origin Stage cultivator. This kind of strength requires at least Zhou Yang and I to take action, only then will we have complete confidence. But right now, if Zhou Yang and I leave …!"

"The entire defense of the Zhou Mansion will be weakened, and the Patriarch is currently at the most critical stage. Nothing can go wrong!"

Just as Zhou Lie finished speaking, the room went silent. These words of his were a reminder to everyone that he and Zhou Yang didn't have the manpower to save Zhou Yao ….

At this moment, Zhou Lie was clenching his fists and closing his eyes. Zhou Yao was his own grandson. How could he not be saved if it could save him? Currently, the Xia Clan and Li Clan were definitely allied together. Their only hope now was that Zhou Huai would be able to break through to the Soul Transformation stage. Otherwise, even if they managed to rescue Zhou Yao, the outcome would still be the same.

"Three Elders, you three guard the Zhou Family. I'll go to Zhou Yao's place!"

The young man gently inhaled in the originally quiet room. Immediately, a voice filled with chilliness and killing intent resounded within the room.

"You're going?"

In the room, Zhou Lie heard this and frowned. He looked at Zhou Yang and said: "The one who kidnapped Zhou Yao this time is Li Shan from the Li family. That guy's strength is about to break through to the second level of the Soul Origin Stage.

"Who else can go here?" Xia Hun Wu calmly said.

Hearing this, Zhou Lie and Zhou Ye had gloomy expressions on their faces. Indeed, in this room, aside from the three of them, Xia Hengwu was the only one who was slightly stronger.

"Could it be that we will only be able to see Little Yaozi die in their hands?"

"That won't do. I'll just lead the way. No matter what, since Li Shan still has a chance to break through to the 2nd meridian, then I'll have a higher chance of winning." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with an extremely sinister light. It was clear that with the Xia and Li Family joining hands, the Zhou Family was already at a complete disadvantage. Since they wanted to force them to their deaths, they could only bet their lives with them.

Zhou Lie sucked in a deep breath. He knew Zhou Ye's strength could naturally save Zhou Yao, but if the Zhou family lost a warrior of the Soul Origin Stage, once the Xia family attacked, the entire family would be annihilated.

The room once again fell into silence. Zhou Lie tried his best to keep his mind clear. Currently, the Zhou family could no longer endure any longer. Once they made a wrong move, their fate would be disastrous.

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Lie, since I'm able to kill Xia Yang and Xia Chen Xi, it means that I have the strength to fight Soul Essence Realm cultivators!" Xia Hun Wu said as he stared at Zhou Lie and Zhou Lie.

If this was any other junior, Zhou Lie might not have believed it. However, after killing Xia Yang and the other two as well as the dozens of experts from the Xia Clan a few days ago, with Xia Hun Wu's strength, he was indeed able to fight a warrior of the Soul Origin Stage.

"Alright, if we can save Zhou Yao, then my Zhou Family owes you a favor!"

Looking at the youth standing straight in the middle of the hall, Zhou Lie finally spoke without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Xia Hun Wu nodded his head, his eyes filled with a cold light.

"How many men and horses do we need?" Zhou Lie asked after seeing the former nod his head.

"I alone am enough!" Xia Hailwu immediately shook his head. Obviously, a person like this was the most suitable choice.

After that, under the gazes of Zhou Lie and Zhou Yang, Xia Hwu turned around and left. Xia Hun Wu had always been swift and decisive as he jumped on the horse outside the house. With a cold gaze, he didn't waste any more time on idle chatter.

"Soul Martial Young Master, be careful!"

As they gazed at the back of the youngster, who was still a bit thin and frail, but was always able to make them feel at ease, the Zhou family's members also cried out from behind.

"Rest assured, Xiao Yao, I will definitely bring you back safely!"

The youngster on horseback did not turn his head back. He only waved his arm towards the back and carried some dust with him. With a light leap, he charged out of the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Lie and the others clenched their fists slightly as they watched the figure quickly disappear in front of them.

A large group of people were guarding the surroundings of a house on a mountain slope in Changqing Village, tens of kilometers away from Yunhai City. There were dozens of people in this group.

"Enough, Li Ang. With that old man Zhou Lie's character, he definitely won't come!"

In the crowd, a burly, middle-aged man chuckled. This middle-aged man was the Li family's Li family's Li Shan.

"But boss, we're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If Zhou Lie and Zhou Yang came at the same time, with our little strength, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to compete with them!" The face of the middle-aged man called Li Ang was somewhat gloomy. He softly sighed and slowly said.

"As long as they dare to come out, the Xia clan will take care of them. When they are done with their home, what are they going to use to fight us for?"

Hearing this, Li Ang also nodded his head. His heart relaxed a little. Soon after, he seemed to have heard something and turned his head to look in front.
