The choice of each family

In a large hall in Dragon River City, more than ten figures were seated.

These people were none other than Zhou Yuan, Qin Chen, Zhou Xinyan, Tian Bodan, and others. Today, they were to decide how to arrange their future!

It had been ten days since they arrived in Dragon River City. It could be said that everyone had accepted everything that happened in Saint Symbol City.

Zhou Yuan sat in the main seat, with two people beside him: one was Zhou Xinyan, and the other was Lin Feng!

Zhou Xinyan represented the group from the Six Great Families of Eight-Order Inscriptionists in Saint Symbol City!

Lin Feng represented the rogue cultivators of Saint Symbol City.

Zhou Yuan later rescued a large number of people. Most of these were rogue cultivators, but some were also from other Talisman Master families.

"Everyone, today we are going to discuss the future arrangements."

"I am well aware that Saint Symbol City was fraught with danger at that time, and your agreement to my requests was out of necessity!"

"Now that the crisis has been resolved, I, Zhou Yuan, will give everyone a chance to choose again!"

"To be honest, after this battle, the entire Saint Talisman Domain has been severely damaged. It will take at least a hundred years for the spiritual energy to recover to its former state."

"But if the Demon Clan could come once, they can come again. We still don't know how the Demon Clan descended!"

"If the Demon Clan appears again, the Saint Talisman Domain will undoubtedly face a greater crisis."

"Here, I state my position: I will definitely leave the Saint Talisman Domain. As for where I will go, I haven't decided yet!"

"Everyone can speak freely today. No matter what choice you make, I will respect it!"

Zhou Yuan glanced at everyone present, then spoke slowly.

He needed to establish a Bandit Stronghold, he needed people, he needed a lot of people!

But what he needed more were people who were truly loyal, not those who were half-hearted.

Zhou Yuan did not want to be backstabbed. Although he had the Qi Luck Eye and could foresee some things in advance, people's hearts can change.

Especially this group of people in front of him, who were almost at the apex of the Saint Talisman Domain's pyramid. It was not an easy task to make them completely loyal to him.

Zhou Xinyan glanced around, coughed lightly, and then said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has spoken, I will talk about my thoughts!"

As Zhou Xinyan spoke, everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on him.

Although the Zhou Family Old Ancestor was no longer here, everyone still habitually regarded the Zhou Family as the foremost Family.

"Our Six Great Families still have many Disciples scattered throughout the Saint Talisman Domain. Gathering them back is an imperative matter!"

"In addition, we have many branches scattered in various places. These forces must be reorganized."

"This also means we need a certain amount of time to handle these matters!"

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Zhou was right just now. In order to preserve the vitality of each Family, it is best for us to temporarily withdraw from the Saint Talisman Domain and go to a new place to recuperate!"

"My Zhou Family Old Ancestor said that my Zhou Family should be loyal to Fellow Daoist Zhou from now on."

"Since Old Ancestor has spoken, and Fellow Daoist Zhou has saved our lives, my Zhou Family will surely abide by this agreement, and we will also follow Fellow Daoist Zhou's orders!"

"But I also have a request, which is that the Zhou Family must remain independent and not mix with other forces."

"As a Talisman Master Family, the Zhou Family cannot have its inheritance cut off because of me!"

After Zhou Xinyan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and then remained silent.

Zhou Xinyan's meaning was actually very clear. Their Zhou Family could obey Zhou Yuan's orders, but would not join Zhou Yuan's forces.

It was somewhat akin to repaying a debt of gratitude. When Zhou Xinyan felt that this debt was repaid, then they would be even!

Zhou Yuan was not too surprised by Zhou Xinyan's choice.

Don't look at the Zhou Family having only dozens of people left now, but the Zhou Family branches are spread throughout the entire Saint Talisman Domain. The Zhou Family in Fanxing City is just one of the Zhou Family's branches.

If the Zhou Family gathers all its branches together, the Zhou Family's strength will surely increase dramatically. Aside from lacking the Zhou Family Old Ancestor, the Zhou Family may not be much weaker than before.

Of course, in this way, if the main Family and the branches merge, it is very likely that the branches will occupy the dominant position in the future.

This kind of thing often happens in the cultivation world, unless the main Family can maintain its strength.

Feng Wuju glanced at Zhou Yuan and saw that Zhou Yuan's expression was unreadable. His heart was also quite conflicted. His thoughts were similar to Zhou Xinyan's!

Feng Wuju gritted his teeth and said, "My meaning is similar to that of Family Head Zhou. The Feng Family will be independent, but will be willing to be dispatched by Young Master Zhou in the future!"

After Feng Wuju finished speaking, he sighed inwardly. To be honest, he was very optimistic about Zhou Yuan. The mere fact that he could rescue so many people already said everything!

Feng Wuju had a premonition that as long as Zhou Yuan did not perish, his future achievements would be extremely terrifying!

Lin Feng scanned the crowd, then smiled and said, "I will also say a few words!"

"I am different from Family Head Zhou and Family Head Feng. I only have one Disciple, plus myself, that's only two people."

"Although I also like a life of leisure like a wild crane, this incident has made me understand a truth."

"The strength of an individual, or even a Family, is limited. Only by uniting everyone can we become stronger!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is young and can do what others cannot. His achievements are far beyond my reach!"

"I have decided, from now on I will follow by Fellow Daoist Zhou's side. I hope Fellow Daoist Zhou will take me in!"

As soon as Lin Feng's words came out, many people in the room showed surprise in their eyes. They had not expected that Lin Feng would make such a choice.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Lin is too polite. It is my honor that Senior Lin can follow by my side!"

"In the future, I will have to learn more about the Path of Talismans from Senior Lin!"

Zhou Yuan actually hadn't expected that Lin Feng would make such a choice, and his eyes couldn't help but show joy.

Just then, Tan Heming smiled and said, "Daoist Lin is right. I, Tan, fully agree."

"Although my Tan Family also has some branches scattered outside, there are not too many."

"I have decided, from now on the Tan Family will follow by Young Master Zhou's side!"

Tan Heming's statement made Zhou Xinyan and Feng Wuju slightly surprised. They had originally thought that Tan Heming would make the same choice as them!

Before Zhou Yuan could speak, Lu Deluo smiled and said, "My choice is the same as Family Head Tan's. From now on, the Lu Family will serve by Young Master Zhou's side!"

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he was overjoyed. Lin Feng, Tan Heming, and Lu Deluo were all Eight-Order Inscriptionists.

With the addition of these three, when he builds a new Bandit Stronghold in the future, the Talisman lineage will be directly formed!

"Thank you for the trust of the two Seniors. I, Zhou, will surely go all out and will not disappoint everyone!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and cupped his fists to Tan Heming and Lu Deluo, and the two also cupped their fists in return.

"My Tian Family is willing to be dispatched by Young Master Zhou in the future, but I also hope that the Tian Family will be independent!"

Just then, Tian Bodan spoke, choosing the same as Zhou Xinyan and Feng Wuju.

Zhou Yuan nodded, not feeling disappointed.

Then Qin Chen stated his position, following by Zhou Yuan's side, which did not surprise anyone in the hall.
