602: Chapter 602 Zhou Family Patriarch, are you serious?

"Cooperation? No problem... Brother Zhou, it's not too late for our two families to discuss cooperation after the discussion conference ends!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhisong glanced at Zhou Hengwei with a strange look in his eyes and quickly said politely.

Dealing with the changes in the Central Domain with the Xu Family?

Zhou Family Old Ancestor, are you serious?

You should be careful not to be suddenly attacked by the Xu Family!

However, he seemed to have heard that the relationship between the Zhou Family Old Ancestor and the Xu Family Old Ancestor was very good?

So, would the Xu Family Old Ancestor make a move against the Zhou Family Old Ancestor?

Surely not!

But you never know!

He suddenly felt a little anticipation for how things would unfold!

With Holy Lord Su presiding, he had already treated this 'Hongmen Banquet' as an ordinary banquet.

He wasn't worried about any potential dangers that might arise.

"Brother Xie, it's great that you agreed. We'll have a good talk after the discussion conference ends!"

"Now... I'll take my leave first! I need to go greet other Fellow Daoists!"

Zhou Hengwei smiled excitedly, then suddenly glanced at Su Yun and the other person behind Xie Zhisong, and suggested with interest:

"Oh, right, Brother Xie, I see you've brought two junior clansmen with you this time as well."

"How about letting your two juniors and our Zhou Family's juniors get to know each other and perhaps spar a bit?"

"Uh, this... let's not!"

Xie Zhisong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly waved his hand, subtly refusing.

"The two juniors I brought this time have shallow cultivation! Next time, I'll bring the stronger juniors from our clan to interact and spar with Brother Zhou's juniors!"

What?

Let Holy Lord Su spar with your juniors?

Don't you believe Holy Lord Su could send you and all your juniors away with a single palm strike?

Moreover, Holy Lord Su intends to hide his identity, so he can't go up and spar with others!

If his plan were to be disrupted, that would be troublesome!

"Alright, it was my slip of the tongue. Since it's inconvenient, let's forget it this time!"

Seeing this, the smile on Zhou Hengwei's face gradually faded, and he felt a surge of displeasure in his heart, though he didn't voice it directly.

Although the Xie Family was in decline, it was once a top-tier Family with a strong foundation.

He still wanted his juniors to interact with the Xie Family juniors to foster good relations!

This way, the two families could cooperate better in the future.

But he didn't expect the Xie Family Old Ancestor to directly refuse?

And even use such a transparent excuse!

Two juniors at the Soul Transformation Realm.

And you tell me their cultivation is shallow?

This is clearly intentional!

The Xie Family has become a bottom-tier first-rate Family, yet they are still so arrogant. Forget it, it's fine not to cooperate with the Xie Family.

Thinking this, Zhou Hengwei gently shook his head.

At this moment, Xie Zhisong also noticed the hidden displeasure in Zhou Hengwei's expression.

However, he didn't explain anything.

And was too lazy to explain.

After all, the Zhou Family Old Ancestor would naturally understand later.

He didn't need to say more.

Subsequently, Zhou Hengwei cupped his hands, turned, and left with several Zhou Family juniors, going to chat with other Family Old Ancestors.

After the Zhou Family Old Ancestor left, no other Old Ancestors from first-rate families came to chat with Xie Zhisong.

Only a few Old Ancestors from second-rate families would respectfully approach him for a few words.

But even so, Xie Zhisong remained calm and composed, sitting in his chair without the slightest concern.

In the past, he might have felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Believing that other first-rate families no longer held them in regard.

But now, he didn't care.

With Holy Lord Su as a powerful backing, everything else was secondary!

Instead, Xie Zhisong looked around, observing the Cultivators from various families, lost in thought.

Whether to further their relationship with these families or keep a distance.

He had to think it through carefully!

After all, true friendship is seen in adversity, only when their Xie Family was in decline.

Families that showed goodwill were the ones worth befriending.

However, it was also possible they were eyeing the Xie Family's foundation!

Feigning friendship.

This required careful discernment!

Compared to the desolate area where the Xie Family members were.

The areas where other families were located began to buzz with lively conversations.

Especially the areas where several other first-rate families were.

Many Old Ancestors from second-rate families even approached them to chat.

For a time, the scene became extremely lively, and the entire hall grew noisy.

A moment later, figures suddenly appeared at the hall entrance. They were the Xu Family members, led by Xu Ze, Xu Ze.

Xu Ze, gripping his Dragon-Head Staff, walked directly to the center of the hall.

He looked around and, seeing all the seats in the hall filled, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

And the Cultivators from various families in the hall, seeing this, also stopped their conversations and sat in their respective Family's seats.

Soon, the hall became quiet.

After all, among the dozens of families present, the Xu Family was the strongest.

The other first-rate families were all a bit weaker than the Xu Family.

Therefore, the Cultivators from all families treated the Xu Ze with considerable respect.

Immediately, Xu Ze lightly coughed, then spoke loudly to everyone:

"Fellow Daoists, at present, the situation in the Central Domain has suddenly changed, with Sects in the Central Domain constantly fighting each other, and many Central Domain cities have become battlefields for these Sects' struggles!"

"And the dozens of families present here, although they are also first or second-rate families in the entire Central Domain, with extraordinary strength, much stronger than ordinary Sect forces."

"But compared to those top-tier first-rate families in the Central Domain, we are still far behind."

"If the situation in the Central Domain becomes even more chaotic and affects us, our individual Family's strength alone might not be enough to cope. Carelessness could lead to severe losses for our families, or even their destruction!"

"Therefore, today... our Xu Family has specially gathered all Fellow Daoists here to discuss methods to deal with the turbulent situation in the Central Domain!"

"Before we present our Xu Family's proposal... if any Fellow Daoists have suggestions, please feel free to speak your minds and let everyone discuss them thoroughly!"

As soon as Xu Ze finished speaking, the Cultivators from the various families immediately erupted into a clamor, beginning to discuss among themselves.

One Old Ancestor from a second-rate Family even stood up directly and loudly proposed:

"Then I'll start by stating my opinion! How about our dozens of families unite! Form an alliance directly!"

"This suggestion seems quite good! Our individual Family's strength is relatively weak, but united, even the Ten Great Holy Lands can be temporarily fearless.

As long as Mahayana Realm experts don't appear, we can be fearless of any other force!"

Another Old Ancestor from a second-rate Family also nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
