271: Zhao Family Counterattack

Zhao Family.

Zhao Chongyang aggressively led a large group of Blood Kill Guards out with imposing Aura.

The core members of the Zhao Family were naturally aware of this matter.

Although they knew Zhao Chongyang's actions were wrong.

But who would dare step forward to stop him?

He had a son late in life, and now that son had been killed.

Who would dare say another word?

If someone had really stepped forward to stop him then, a fight might have broken out within the Zhao Family.

So, regarding this matter, the Zhao Family Head and the Zhao Family Grand Elder both turned a blind eye.

At the same time, they also needed Zhao Chongyang to do certain things in his rage; that way, even if the Domain Lord blamed them later, it wouldn't be too troublesome, and they would only need to give Zhao Chongyang a symbolic punishment.

But just now.

After the fifteen Blood Kill Guards died suddenly, their Soul Tablets in the Soul Tablet Hall shattered at the same time.

The guard on duty at the Soul Tablet Hall immediately reported the matter.

Zhao Family Head.

Family Head immediately convened a Family meeting.

This Zhao Chongyang had actually exhausted the elites cultivated by the Family, which made the Zhao Family Head very angry.

He would take this opportunity and excuse to give Zhao Chongyang a show of authority and weaken his power, so as to avoid his own prestige being damaged.

The internal factional struggles within the Zhao Family were also quite intense.

Otherwise, even with a hundred times the courage, Zhao Chongyang wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant as to directly break the rules and lead men to kill their way toward the Great Lan Dynasty.

However, before all the attendees could arrive.

Another piece of latest news was received.

Zhao Chongyang was also dead.

Dead!?

When the Zhao Family Grand Elder, Great Elder, heard this, he was also stunned for a moment.

"You mean... Old Yang is dead? A dignified seventh-level Martial King Realm! Under the protection of fifteen Blood Kill Guards, he just casually kicked the bucket!?"

Great Elder's thin, withered eyes widened.

He tried his best to hide the excitement in his eyes.

The position of Elder in the Zhao Family was not the ultimate position.

Further up, there was a position equal to the Zhao Family Head, called the Chief of the Elder Council.

For this position of Chief Elder, Zhao Chongyang was his biggest competitor.

But unfortunately, he couldn't compete with Zhao Chongyang's fierce strength, coupled with his recent vigorous momentum, his rapid Breakthrough in cultivation, and a son who had broken into the top ten of the golden dragon ranking—it could be said his future was limitless.

Originally, when Great Elder learned that Zhao Zixuan had been killed, he had been secretly laughing in his bed for quite a while.

But now, in such a serious meeting, he actually heard such heavyweight good news.

Great Elder also secretly pinched his own thigh until it turned purple to stop himself from laughing out loud on the spot.

This way, the position of Chief of the Elder Council would surely be his.

It wasn't that Great Elder was coveting that position.

It was just that he was a Grand Elder after all; if he couldn't reach that position, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

Of course, during the meeting, Great Elder still appeared quite furious.

"It seems the background of this Great Lan Dynasty is quite extraordinary!"

"Could it be that someone wants to use the Great Lan Dynasty's hand to deal with us?"

Great Elder said in a low voice.

Although the Zhao Family had been one of the Four Great Families all these years, the competition for territory within the Lingcang Domain was extremely fierce and not easily maintained.

Now, the Four Great Families were all in a desperate race.

To see who could be the first to produce a Martial Emperor Realm existence.

However, the Martial Emperor Realm was not that simple.

Recently, he heard that someone in the Song Family seemed to show signs of a Breakthrough to Martial Emperor, which made the Zhao Family and other families quite wary.

Now that something had happened to Zhao Chongyang, the first thought was: is the Song Family starting to clear the territory?

"To make Zhao Chongyang and the others never return... the one who acted must be at least at the Martial Emperor level, or at the very least, at the Martial King Realm Peak!"

Family Head's gaze narrowed.

"However, the opponent shouldn't be a Martial Emperor."

"If it were a Martial Emperor, Zhao Chongyang wouldn't be so foolish as to go head-to-head knowing the opponent was a Martial Emperor, so the opponent should be around the ninth level of the Martial King Realm... and, there might be more than one person."

"The reason they chose to act at this time should also be for the Demon resources!"

"Regardless of who it is, this act is a declaration of war against my Zhao Family!"

Family Head said in a deep voice.

With the Zhao Family's strength and status.

Someone actually dared to declare war in this manner, even if they chose the Great Lan Dynasty as the battlefield.

But that didn't matter.

As long as they knew it was an enemy, they would let them taste the Zhao Family's power.

Everyone also understood the meaning behind Family Head Family Head's words.

At the same time, no one spoke up to advise otherwise.

There was no need to waste time investigating the matter; no matter what the opponent's background was, just kill them.

"Assemble the troops! Except for those guarding the Family headquarters, everyone else will march to the Great Lan Dynasty with me!"

"I want the entire Great Lan Dynasty to be plunged into misery and suffering!"

"I want everyone in the Lingcang Domain to know the consequences of offending my Zhao Family!"

"No one can withstand the wrath of my Zhao Family!"

In Family Head's eyes, a terrifying, ghostly green light filled with infinite killing intent was released.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Yes!"

At this moment, someone at the end of the seating raised their hand.

"Family Head, do we need to inform the Domain Lord about this?"

The Elder at the end of the seating reminded.

Hearing this, Family Head pondered for a moment.

Then he looked at Great Elder beside him.

"Grand Elder, you take a trip there and bring some gifts."

"Understood!"

After all, the Domain Lord was still here.

Although they were going to seek revenge for Zhao Chongyang, they still needed to handle the etiquette properly.

"We will set off once the Grand Elder returns!"

Great Lan Dynasty.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the palace.

Facing such an obvious hint from the Ye Duling, Jiang Chen was first startled, then smiled slightly. With complete composure and confidence, he drank the fine wine the Ye Duling handed him in one gulp.

"Jiang Chen is but a subject; whatever Your Majesty says to bestow, then that is what shall be bestowed," Jiang Chen said.

The Ye Duling secretly gritted her teeth, then stood up quite decisively.

She walked in front of Jiang Chen.

Then, she actually sat on Jiang Chen's lap.

Jiang Chen immediately felt a great threat approaching.

"I heard from Lu Qian... that you have a Cultivation Technique that can improve a woman's cultivation..."

"I wonder if this Empress... has the chance to see it..."

As she spoke.

The Ye Duling's shoulder seemed as if it were oiled.

Her dress strap slid down smoothly.

"Hiss..."

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately took a sharp breath.

He took the initiative in return, showing no politeness at all.

"Then I shall bring it out and discuss it thoroughly with Your Majesty."
