571: Go to Jiangcheng

Panshi City.

Although Zhou Luo had already left, his intimidating words, especially his actions against the Li Family Disciples before leaving.

Shocked countless Cultivators.

An unbelievable thought emerged in their minds.

That is, the creator of the Zhou Family, Zhou Luo, had truly stepped from the Foundation Establishment Realm into the Golden Core Realm.

Presumably, this news would spread throughout the entire Qingyuan Domain, and even the entire Golden Cloud State, in a very short time.

One must know that Zhou Luo was widely known to have a low Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), with limited talent for life.

When he broke through to Foundation Establishment back then.

Although it shocked everyone, they only considered it obtaining Immortal destiny, a mere coincidence.

After all, with such a low Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), even if he stepped into Foundation Establishment, he would stop there in this life.

But no one expected that he had truly stepped into the Golden Core Realm.

This was almost an impossible feat.

Especially since he was a Loose Cultivator, without any support from Sect forces.

In an instant, countless Cultivators marveled at it, unable to comprehend.

As for the Li Family Disciples, after learning that their Family Head was stomped to death on the spot, their hearts turned to ash, and they fell into chaos.

They did not understand.

Why the Azure Origin Sect, who had previously vowed to help, would watch the Li Family Head die before their eyes, especially those Sect Disciples originally spread among the Li Family Cultivators.

Even more so, after receiving the news, they left with great tacit understanding.

This made them realize that the Azure Origin Sect had abandoned them.

Countless Li Family Disciples fell into despair.

Compared to them, the Zhou Family Disciples, who were in despair, finally saw the dawn.

Currently, they did not know the situation of the Li Family.

But when they saw Zhou Luo return as a Golden Core True Person, the Zhou Family Cultivators who had originally entertained thoughts of retreating were all invigorated, with beaming smiles on their faces.

Because they realized that even if the Azure Origin Sect wanted to help the Li Family, they could not ignore the wrath of a Golden Core True Person.

In the Qingyuan Domain, Golden Core True Person were existences like the sky.

Now that the Zhou Family's sky had returned, the haze above their heads was swept away.

The entire Maple Leaf City was filled with joy, the city protection formation had been removed early, and the city residents even put up lanterns and decorations, changing the previous heavy atmosphere.

Although they were not Zhou Family members.

For them businessmen, the preservation and continued development of Maple Leaf City was great news.

Especially since Zhou Luo had become a Golden Core True Person.

This could also be considered a display of their respect.

By the time Zhou Luo returned, the Zhou Family had already gathered all the Second-Order Alchemist they could, and began refining Detoxification Pills.

As for the order of the entire Zhou Family, naturally, he did not need to worry about it.

At the Family Head's courtyard, Zhou Luo came before Lin Xi.

"I need to go to Jiang City to see what the situation is," Zhou Luo said solemnly.

The matter with the Li Family had been resolved, and the poisoning of the higher-ups had also been alleviated.

Next was Jiang City, which he was most worried about.

Jiang City's betrayal was unexpected and without any warning.

From the current perspective, it seemed to have little to do with the Li Family; perhaps it was the Azure Origin Sect causing trouble.

Regardless, some Zhou Family Disciples, including some of his children, wives, and concubines, were there.

Now, only people could enter there, but none could leave, and no news could be sent out; these people's lives and deaths were unknown.

Zhou Luo had to go and investigate the specific situation.

"Okay." Lin Xi nodded, without any objection.

"You handle the matters within the Zhou Family properly, and we'll discuss everything after I return."

Zhou Luo said no more, and after giving a few simple instructions, he left in a hurry.

He walked through the air, turning into a streak of light, moving at an astonishing speed.

On the way, the Golden Core within him continuously poured out magical power, supporting his flight.

"If I go all out, taking down Jing Ming should not be a problem."

He muttered to himself.

Although he had only exchanged one move with the opponent earlier, it made Zhou Luo realize that his strength far surpassed that of ordinary Golden Core True Person.

This also gave him sufficient confidence.

About three days later, he saw Jiang City.

This large city had been expanded, covering an extremely vast area, and the hazy light was from the Third-Order Spell formation he had set up back then.

Zhou Luo stood in the air, looking at the silent city, and did not directly break in like he did when going to the Li Family.

According to the information provided by Lin Xi.

This Jiang City was said to have been occupied by the Evil Cultivators from the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

But where did their confidence come from?

Originally, he thought the Azure Origin Sect was controlling everything behind the scenes.

But now, the Azure Origin Sect Leader was attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and the entire mountain range had been sealed off; sending some Disciples to reinforce the Li Family was already their limit.

It was impossible for them to mobilize more people to seize Jiang City.

If it wasn't the Azure Origin Sect, then which force could it be?

His first thought was the Crimson Light Sect, and then the Azure Origin Sect again.

Regardless, Jiang City must be guarded by a Golden Core True Person.

Without knowing the opponent's strength, he did not rashly break in; instead, he landed directly on the ground, put on a robe, concealed his aura, and transformed into an ordinary Immortal.

Now that Jiang City only allowed entry but not exit, it wasn't difficult for him to get in.

Arriving at the city gate, the Cultivators guarding the city were wearing Zhou Family clothing, but everyone was expressionless, silently examining those entering.

Wearing a robe, he changed his appearance and successfully entered the city.

Inside the city, the luxurious and exquisite, orderly arranged shops were still there, but all their doors were tightly shut; on the streets, only a few Cultivators were walking in a hurry.

Teams of Cultivators wearing Zhou Family clothing patrolled the streets, each person expressionless and extremely silent.

The entire city was filled with a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

He did not go directly to the Zhou Family residence, but instead came to the front of the Tianxia Tavern.

No matter who the Master of the city was, it would not affect this tavern with a royal background; gathering information here was the best option.

But when he arrived in front of the tavern, the entire tavern's doors were tightly shut, and even the light of a formation permeated the air.

Clearly, even the Tianxia Tavern was affected by this matter.

Zhou Luo frowned tightly.

This was very unusual.

If it were just an ordinary city changing hands, the Tianxia Tavern would not display such a cautious attitude.

Unless the background of the people who seized the city this time was such that even they did not dare to provoke them.

But when did he provoke such a force?

He left the Tianxia Tavern and could only choose to walk towards the Zhou Family mansion in the Core Area.

In front of the mansion, the guards were still Zhou Family Cultivators.

If he hadn't known that this city had changed hands, he might have suspected that everything in the city was perfectly fine.

"They are being controlled."

Seeing the wooden expressions of these Zhou Family Cultivators, he keenly sensed something.

Immediately, he quietly came to one side, and while a team of patrolling Cultivators passed by, he quickly knocked all of them unconscious and controlled them.

Then he came before one of the Cultivators and began to investigate.

As his Divine Sense fell, an astonishing discovery made his expression change slightly.

"They are controlled by Magic Qi!"
