583: Zhou Family Subsequent Arrangements
The reason why Zhou Luo insisted on letting Zhou Changyuan know where he had made a mistake.
Was to make him understand how Zhou Family management should be.
Perhaps to outsiders, passing the position of Family Head to the other party was a great thing, not a punishment.
But if one personally experienced it, they would understand.
The position of Family Head is not that easy to hold.
Especially as Zhou Luo's expansion steps grew larger, the one holding the position of Family Head must take care of every aspect.
By then, he would have no freedom at all, completely imprisoned in the position of Family Head.
The power he controlled was only what was seen on the surface; in reality, within the Zhou Family, countless pairs of eyes were watching him, and if he acted even slightly unfairly or displeased others, there would naturally be opposition.
He had to maintain the stability of the entire Zhou Family.
Especially since Zhou Luo would not let him abdicate, making him stay in this position forever.
This also meant that he would take eternal leave of the path of Immortal Cultivation.
This was extremely painful for an Immortal.
There was no more severe punishment than this.
Zhou Changyuan was stunned upon hearing these words, and then, realizing the consequences of this punishment, his body went limp, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
He looked at his Father with a complex expression.
Knowing the other party had already made a decision.
"Understood, Father."
He could not resist, nor could he resist.
Compared to self-immolation, this was perhaps his best outcome.
"I hope you won't disappoint me." After Zhou Luo finished speaking, he got up and left the confinement room.
Looking at that retreating figure, Zhou Changyuan's mind was in a daze; suddenly, his vision went dark, he staggered back repeatedly, and sat down on the bed with a thud.
He self-mockingly said, "Is this my destiny?"
After leaving the confinement room, Zhou Luo summoned the high-ranking members of the Zhou Family again.
These people were naturally overjoyed to see that the Zhou Family had produced a Golden Core True Person.
Zhou Luo, however, had a serious expression, which immediately made them stop smiling and not dare to breathe loudly.
"The reason I called you here today is about the Zhou Family's development."
Sitting upright on the Family Head's throne, Zhou Luo's gaze swept over everyone present.
Most of these were his children, and besides them, there were also some old members from the Lin Family.
Having stepped into the Golden Core Realm this time, he also needed to re-plan the Zhou Family's development.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Zhou Luo looked at Xu Changsheng: "What's the situation with the Li Family?"
Xu Changsheng's body trembled, and he immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Reporting, Master, the Li Family has already ceded the city to us, but we haven't had time to take possession yet."
Zhou Luo killed the Li Family Head in front of the Azure Origin Sect Elder, which truly gave the other party a big shock.
As soon as he left, the Li Family's high-ranking members didn't hesitate and unanimously passed the decision to cede the city and hand over the Zhang Family.
Moreover, to avoid wasting Time, their Zhou Family's Foundation Establishment cultivators traveled day and night, not daring to delay for a moment, hurrying as fast as they could, and finally arrived at the Zhou Family at the agreed upon Time, informing them of the Li Family's decision.
At that Time, Zhou Luo was still in Jiang City, so he did not know about this matter.
However, the Li Family's attitude was very normal.
They were unable to bear the wrath of a Golden Core True Person; because of this, the Li Family also added an extra condition, stating that they would hand over all the Zhou Family disciples who had offended the Zhou Family this time, to be dealt with by the Zhou Family.
Of course, this was just an excuse.
What was ultimately handed over would definitely be some members of the Zhou Family used as scapegoats.
However, this also showed an attitude.
The Li Family was completely convinced.
Zhou Luo nodded slightly: "What about the Zhang Family?"
"Master, the latest news is that the Zhang Family Head and the group of high-ranking members who made the decision have already committed suicide; we haven't gone to check the bodies yet."
"As for the other Zhang Family disciples, they are waiting for us to decide their fate," Xu Changsheng replied.
With the arrival of the Li Family, the letters from the Zhang Family also reached the Zhou Residence.
Compared to the Li Family, the Zhang Family was clearly more rebellious.
Because they belonged to the betraying side.
Therefore, after learning that Zhou Luo had become a Golden Core True Person, their Family Head was very decisive and directly led a group of high-ranking members to commit suicide to atone for their sins with death.
Those who remained were basically ordinary disciples of the Zhou Family.
They wanted to use this to exchange for the continuation of the Zhang Family Bloodline.
Although the Zhang Family was gone, as long as the Zhang Family Bloodline remained, there was still a chance for everything.
"Hmm, treat all the potentially talented ones from the Zhang Family, regardless of gender, as Cauldrons, just like the Lu Family back then." Zhou Luo gave the decision.
The winner is king, the loser is bandit.
Zhou Luo would not pity others because of the Zhang Family's decisive suicide.
This would not provide an explanation to the Zhou Family Cultivators who died in this great battle.
Being able to preserve the Zhang Family's Bloodline was already the limit of what he could do.
After discussing the issues of the Li Family and the Zhang Family, Zhou Luo then informed everyone present about the matter in Jiang City.
When she learned that Lin Ze, Tenth Elder had been poisoned, Lin Xi, who was nearby, felt a tremor in her heart, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
She actually had never felt much closeness towards this Father.
But after all, he was her Father.
Hearing the news of his death, she couldn't help but feel a little sorrowful.
And the high-ranking members of the Zhou Family present were even more enraged after hearing what Hua Ruofeng had done to the Zhou Family's direct descendants.
Fortunately, Zhou Luo had returned.
Otherwise, Jiang City might have become a living hell for the Zhou Family.
After a brief explanation, how to handle Jiang City next was a problem.
Zhou Luo decided to send Lin Xuanfeng and a few of his Zhou Family children who had performed well to Jiang City to assist Zhou Changhui in the construction of Jiang City.
At the same time, he specifically emphasized the need to repair the Foundations of those suffering Zhou Family disciples, once again stating the importance of Family members.
He had to instill the concept of Family members in the high-ranking members present.
To make them understand that only by working together could the Zhou Family create brilliance.
Although perhaps by the fifth or sixth generation, these concepts would gradually fade.
But at least for now, during the Zhou Family's expansion, he did not want another incident like Zhou Changyuan's to occur.
The high-ranking members present all agreed.
Immediately, Zhou Luo informed everyone present about the appointment of Zhou Changyuan as the Family Head.
Some of the high-ranking members present were actually still uneasy.
Because many of them were involved in Zhou Changyuan's plot to seize the position of Family Head.
But upon hearing this, they were also stunned.
They did not expect that Zhou Luo would not only not blame Zhou Changyuan, but would even make him the Family Head.
"Being a Family Head is not that easy."
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Zhou Luo took the opportunity to explain.
The general meaning was that Zhou Changyuan could only be the Zhou Family Head for his entire life, and as the Zhou Family expanded, he would certainly not have much Time for Immortal Cultivation.
In the future, he would only become a tool for managing the Zhou Family, imprisoned in the position of Family Head for life.
After hearing that Zhou Changyuan, this Immortal, might not have the chance to cultivate Immortals.
The people present also suddenly realized, understanding that this was probably the most severe punishment besides the death penalty.
After discussing the matter of the Family Head, Zhou Luo made arrangements for other matters...
