With the Second Elder's recommendation and the Shadow Master and Grand Elder's agreement, the matter was settled.
"Since Grand Elder has no objections, it's decided. Zhang Yue will be the Second Elder.
Elders, please go about your own business. The Rank Five demonic beast has been subdued, and many businesses have suffered heavy losses. We need to recover as soon as possible. "
The elders took their leave, leaving only the Grand Elder and Xu Boyu.
Xu Boyu cupped his hands toward Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan. "Shadow Master and Retired Emperor, please come to the Xu Family for a chat. It's time for me to give you an explanation for what happened back then."
Zhang Dingming finally understood. The Xu Family had supported Zhou Luan to become the Shadow Master in exchange for Zhou Luan's mercy.
If not for this, with Wang Daoyuan's temper, he would have wiped out the Xu family.
The three of them left the Ancestral Hall and headed toward the Xu Family's spirit mountain.
The spirit mountains of these families were all outside of Blood Shadow City.
There were only a few large courtyards in the city, so it was convenient for the clansmen to work.
As one of the two great clans of Blood Shadow City, the Xu Family had lived for tens of thousands of years.
The dozen or so mountains north of Blood Shadow City were all the Xu Family's territory.
When the three of them arrived at the Xu Family's main spirit mountain, all the Golden Core cultivators of the Xu Family were already there.
When they saw Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan, they bowed. "Greetings, Shadow Master and Retired Emperor."
Zhou Luan waved her hand. "At ease."
Everyone stood up. Xu Boyu said, "About four hundred years ago, Xu Yizong of the Xu Family lost to the Shadow Master when he was fighting for the right to open his Violet Palace.
I felt ashamed, so I suppressed the Shadow Master.
Xu Yizong wanted to marry the Shadow Master, but after he was rejected, I felt ashamed.
Under this brat's urging, the Shadow Master was sent to the barren lands north of Mount Huiyan.
He even used his connections to kill the Shadow Master's father.
A life for a life. It's time for the Xu Family to pay the price. "
He pointed out Xu Yizong and the other two Golden Core cultivators. "There were many people who participated in this, but only the four of us are still alive.
It's up to the Shadow Master to decide what to do with us.
All members of the Xu Family, listen up. The four of us are going to die today because our Xu Family owes the Shadow Master.
In the future, the descendants of the Xu family will listen to the Shadow Master's orders and cannot disobey him.
Qinghe, in the future, you will be in charge of all matters of the Xu family. You must restrain your descendants and not go against the Shadow Lord and the Yan Kingdom. "
Xu Qinghe cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Father."
Zhou Luan glanced at them. "I won't deal with the Xu family in the future, lest someone from the Xu family acts recklessly and wants to avenge you.
I won't do it myself. Kill yourselves. "
Xu Boyu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Shadow Master."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yizong and the others. "Otherwise, you three won't be willing to die after this old man dies and anger the Shadow Master again.
The three of you should commit suicide first. If you don't dare, this old man will do it myself. "
This Xu Yizong was less than 500 years old, and his cultivation was at the middle Gold Core stage. He looked like a young man, and his appearance was not bad.
But now, he was scared out of his wits. His face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
When he heard that Xu Boyu wanted him to commit suicide, he was so scared that he quickly knelt down. "Grandpa, save me. I don't want to die."
Xu Boyu sighed. "It's all my fault. I spoiled you too much.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have caused such a big trouble.
Since it's my fault, I'll take care of it. "
Before he finished speaking, he hit Xu Yizong's head with his palm.
Xu Yizong's eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief. He fell to the ground and died.
The other two didn't need Xu Boyu to do anything and killed themselves.
Xu Boyu looked at the Xu family members, then raised his hand and hit his own head.
The Xu family members had tears in their eyes, but they didn't dare to cry out loud.
Zhou Luan said, "My grudge with the Xu family has been settled. As long as the Xu family doesn't betray me, I won't suppress them."
Then, she left the Xu family's Spirit Mountain with Wang Daoyuan and returned to the Blood Shadow City.
When they arrived at the Blood Shadow City, the two of them went to the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Luan opened the door to the main room in the courtyard. There was only a sacrificial table, a few chairs, and a bed inside.
There were two memorial tablets on the table. They belonged to Zhou Luan's parents.
Zhou Luan burned three incense sticks for the two memorial tablets and kowtowed three times. "Father, I've avenged you. I've also become the Shadow Master of the Blood Shadow City.
I've also found you a good son-in-law and gave birth to a grandson. He's the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom.
When you were alive, you always wanted to acknowledge your ancestors and return to your family. I've fulfilled your wish.
Now, I'm Princess Qingyang of the Zhou Kingdom. I'm the leader of Ancestor Chi Luan's branch. "
Wang Daoyuan also burned three incense sticks. "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, don't worry. I'll take care of Zhou Luan. Nothing will happen to her."
After paying their respects, Wang Daoyuan stayed with Zhou Luan for more than a month.
Zhou Luan was already able to completely control the two doppelgangers. With the protection of these two doppelgangers, which were comparable to a late-stage Yuanying cultivator, there wouldn't be any problems.
Wang Daoyuan left all the Nascent Cultivating Pills for her. He left the Blood Shadow headquarters and returned to the Jade Spring Peak.
The family was facing the Sky Beheading Mountain Range, the Eastern Sea, and the Arctic Ice Plains. It was even more dangerous than the Blood Shadow headquarters.
If he wasn't there for a long time, the demonic beasts would definitely cause trouble.
Zhou Luan naturally stayed at the headquarters. After all, she had just become the Shadow Master. She didn't have a reliable force under her, so she couldn't leave easily.
She had already appointed Wang Daojian as the Shanbei branch's Hall Master. His authority was the same as before. He could appoint the Hall Master of a second-grade branch.
The entire Blood Shadow organization in the Yan Kingdom was managed by Wang Daojian.
In the future, the Wang family's descendants would enter the headquarters through the Shanbei branch.
With the Shadow Master's protection, the Wang family's descendants who entered the Blood Shadow headquarters would naturally be put in an important position.
On the way back to the Jade Spring Peak, Wang Daoyuan strolled around several places where fifth-grade demonic beasts roamed.
These demonic beasts were quite obedient. Ever since he intimidated them last time, they didn't show up again.
He returned to the Jade Spring Peak unimpeded. There were no problems at the family's side.
After the demonic beasts were wiped out twice, they didn't dare to show up again.
After returning to the Jade Spring Peak, there was a happy occasion. The Jade Spring Peak's spirit vein had been upgraded to fourth-grade high-grade.
Moreover, the density of the spirit energy was clearly increasing.
The piece of Gui Water Essence that had been fused into the spirit vein wasn't wasted.
In addition, the Sky Beheading Mountain Range was relatively close. When the Sky Beheading Mountain Range became a fifth-grade spirit vein, the Jade Spring Peak would also gain some benefits.
There was still a high chance that the spirit vein would be upgraded to fifth-grade.
On the Jade Spring Peak, he also met a person he hadn't seen for many years. It was Wang Dezhao.
After Wang Daochang left the position of Clan Leader, Wang Mingshan took over as Clan Leader, and he took over as Grand Elder.
However, he resigned after a few years and stayed in the Green Willow Secret Territory to cultivate.
After returning for a few years, he didn't show up.
When he saw Wang Daoyuan, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Grandson greets Seventh Great Uncle. Congratulations on breaking through to the Yuanying Stage."
Wang Daoyuan carefully sized him up. "Not bad, peak stage Zifu Realm cultivation.
It's not easy to cultivate to such a level after establishing the Zifu Realm for only a hundred years. How's your progress in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation? "
Wang Dezhao smiled awkwardly. "I've spent all my energy on cultivation these past few years. My alchemy and equipment forging are only third-grade low-grade."
His talent wasn't bad, but it couldn't be considered top-notch. To be able to reach the peak stage of the Zifu Realm in a hundred years was already very good.
As for alchemy and equipment forging, it wasn't a big deal to delay them for a while.
What the family lacked was a pillar of support, not an alchemist or equipment forging master.
"It's already very rare to have such achievements in a hundred years.
You came this time to ask about the fire-attribute laws, right? "
After saying that, he took out the Meteoric Flame Controlling Gourd and placed a wisp of Scarlet Yang True Fire inside.
"You can use this spirit fire to comprehend the laws. If there's anything you don't understand, go ask your Third Great Uncle.
I still have to improve my alchemy skills, so I don't have time to guide you. "
Wang Dezhao took the gourd and thanked him repeatedly.
There was a world of difference between a fifth-grade spirit fire and a fourth-grade spirit fire. The laws of a fourth-grade spirit fire were extremely rare, and they were all hidden.
It wasn't easy to comprehend the laws.
And the laws of a fifth-grade spirit fire were extremely obvious. It was basically putting the laws in front of you.
Comprehending the laws of a fifth-grade spirit fire was much easier.
