563: Zhou Family Crisis

Currently, the most pressing matter for the Zhou Family is the poisoning incident.

This indicates that the Zhou Family has an internal spy, and that they have infiltrated the Core Area.

Otherwise, why would so many high-ranking members of the Zhou Family suddenly be poisoned?

This poison is incredibly potent, leaving the entire Zhou Family helpless.

According to the Zhou Family's Alchemist, this poison is at least Second Order top-tier.

This reminded Lin Xi of the incident where the Zhou Family was poisoned by the Rogue Cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect.

What's different from that time is...

The poison back then wasn't that potent, and their target was the younger generation of the Lin Family.

So the Zhou Family remained relatively stable internally.

But this time, the enemy is clearly targeting the Zhou Family's Disciples.

Such a large number of high-ranking Zhou Family members being poisoned has caused the Zhou Family to lose a significant amount of high-end combat power in a short period.

Especially since this poison is incredibly potent.

If not for the Zhou Family's deep accumulation over the years, they wouldn't have been able to provide these high-ranking members with a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in time to protect their lives.

It is likely that in this single incident, the Zhou Family would have suffered significant losses.

"Li Family!"

Lin Xi gnashed her teeth and uttered these two words, filled with immense anger.

As early as when she knew that Zhou Changyuan had the support of the Li Family, she realized that the other party had ill intentions, so she warned Zhou Changyuan to be careful.

At that time, Zhou Changyuan was incredibly confident and thought he could control them.

But what was the result?

He is now lying in bed, with only half a life left.

"What did the Immortal Sect say?" Lin Xi asked in a deep voice.

Although Zhou Changle and the others were in seclusion, there were still many Zhou Family Disciples in the Azure Origin Sect.

Now that this poison has reached the Second Order top-tier level, they can only ask the Alchemists of the Immortal Sect for help in detoxification.

So Lin Xi immediately sent a message to the Zhou Family Disciples.

But Xu Changsheng's face showed bitterness: "The Azure Origin Sect has now sealed the mountain, and messages cannot be sent in."

It is said that the Sect Head of the Azure Origin Sect is about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and to avoid being disturbed by others, the Azure Origin Sect directly chose to seal the mountain, prohibiting any Disciples from entering or leaving.

"Sealed the mountain?" Lin Xi was also shocked by this news, and she continued to ask: "How long will it take?"

"Not sure, at least a few years, I guess," Xu Changsheng shook his head.

The Azure Origin Sect sealing the mountain was not within his expectations; without the help of the Azure Origin Sect, the poison of the Zhou Family's high-ranking members would not be so easy to resolve.

"I have already sent someone to the Wan Gu Sect to deliver a message," Xu Changsheng continued.

If the Azure Origin Sect is unreliable, then they can only rely on the Wan Gu Sect.

Fortunately, due to Yao Wu, the Wan Gu Sect should not stand by and do nothing.

However, this back and forth will definitely take more than half a year.

Fortunately, these high-ranking members can still hold on.

But losing these high-ranking members has put the entire Zhou Family in a disadvantageous position.

"There is one more thing, the Li Family Disciples who resisted us this time are very likely from the Azure Origin Sect."

Just then, a man with a gloomy face spoke up.

This person was none other than Lin Xuanfeng.

With such a major incident happening in the Zhou Family this time, he also rushed back from Qingtian City.

He was also in charge of the previous military action against the Li Family.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the remaining high-ranking members changed slightly.

"No wonder the Li Family is so bold. It seems the Immortal Sect doesn't want us to be the sole dominant force," Lin Xi immediately realized the deeper meaning in his words, and she murmured to herself.

But compared to this, she was more concerned about the situation in Jiang City.

"What exactly is the situation in Jiang City? Can't I still contact my Father and the others?"

Lin Xuanfeng shook his head: "The incident in Jiang City happened suddenly. As of now, it seems that the Rogue Cultivator from the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range have occupied the entire city."

No one expected that the group of Rogue Cultivator from the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range would be so restless.

Currently, the entire Jiang City has activated the city protection Array formation.

And this formation was the Second Order top-tier formation personally set up by Zhou Luo back then.

So even Lin Xi and the others are helpless.

Listening to the string of bad news, Lin Xi felt physically and mentally exhausted.

She rubbed her brows and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of these, the top priority is to ensure the lives of those high-ranking members."

"Great Elder, you will thoroughly investigate the Zhou Family and arrest everyone who is suspected."

"No matter who it is."

"Okay." Xu Changsheng nodded and left.

"Family Head, how much longer until Father comes out of seclusion?" one of the Zhou Family Disciples suddenly asked.

"Not sure. Before he comes out of seclusion, we will first stabilize the current situation," Lin Xi said.

This incident happened suddenly, and with the Azure Origin Sect involved, she was not sure if Zhou Luo could resolve it.

But he is the backbone of the entire Zhou Family; only with him here will everyone feel at ease.

Especially for people like Lin Xi.

It was as if there was nothing Zhou Luo couldn't solve.

And at this moment, our Zhou Family's backbone is still improving the quality of his Golden Core.

After so many years, he has almost completely extracted the power from that Long Yu's Golden Core and successfully fused it with his own Golden Core.

To avoid any accidents, this process proceeded very slowly.

Now, in Zhou Luo's Dantian, the pale green Golden Core has begun to emit golden light, as if it has been painted with golden pigment, shining brightly.

Zhou Luo is wholeheartedly fusing the last wisp of power into his Golden Core.

Boom—

In an instant, the Golden Core in his Dantian suddenly erupted with a brilliant golden light, so dazzling that it even pierced through his body.

And Zhou Luo only felt warm all over.

In this state, he felt a vast and surging energy surging wildly within his body.

That Golden Core also completely transformed, bursting out with a radiant golden light.

Zhou Luo suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a look of joy.

"It's done!"

The moment his Golden Core completed its transformation, Zhou Luo felt his entire body filled with power.

The Golden Core, which was quietly suspended in his Dantian, also surged out endless magical power with a thought.

Magical light flickered, his eyes shone brightly, and a terrifying might swept across the entire cave dwelling.

The next second, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards him.

Outside the cave dwelling, the originally calm heaven and earth also suddenly became turbulent.

The spiritual energy in the air also seemed to be instantly attracted by some force, rushing towards a certain place all at once.

This instant startled those Immortals who were cultivating.

Feeling the changes in spiritual energy, they noticed the unusual phenomena in the nearby heaven and earth.

Some had confused looks, some had drastically changed expressions, and others were filled with envy.

"Another Golden Core True Person has been born!"

Their hearts were filled with shock.

At this moment, Zhou Luo was undergoing the final step of core Fusion.

He opened his mind, facing the heaven and earth spiritual energy that surged like a tide, continuously absorbing it into his body, circulating it through his meridians, and then delivery it into the vast Golden Core.

With such abundant magical power replenishment, the Golden Core also began to continue changing, becoming more suitable for Zhou Luo.

Time passed, he didn't know how long.

When the Golden Core finally absorbed enough power, it let out a muffled sound.

Zhou Luo's entire Aura also underwent a tremendous change at this moment.

Golden Core True Person!

It's done!
