"This old man is the External Elder of the Zhou Family, Zhou Ze," the old man with a goatee said with a smile, "May I know your names?"
"Niu Meng!"
Zhou Ze nodded slightly, "So it's Fellow Niu. I see that Fellow Daoist has an extraordinary bearing and aura. May I know where you are from and where you work?"
"Us two brothers are just rogue cultivators," Lu Ye continued to talk nonsense.
Zhou Ze's smile did not diminish, "So that's how it is. Rogue cultivators of your age rarely have such cultivation. It's true that there are talents in every generation! Since you two have come to Ding Tian City, can this old man do his best as a host? "
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at him, then glanced around unintentionally and said, "I didn't know that the Zhou Family was so hospitable."
Around them, there were many cultivators who were paying close attention to them. Under the perception of Lu Ye's Divine Sense, the whereabouts of these people naturally could not be hidden. Although Xiao Xinghe's perception was not very clear, he still faintly sensed it and looked vigilant.
Zhou Ze laughed, "My Zhou Family has always made friends with heroes from all over the world. Fellow Daoist should know that aristocratic families are not like Sects. It is not easy to establish a foothold in the Nine Provinces."
Lu Ye nodded slightly, "In that case, I'll have to disturb you a little."
"Please!" Zhou Ze turned sideways and gestured with his hand.
Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe both walked with their hands on their swords, looking straight ahead as they passed by him.
After a while, in a large manor in the city, the three figures landed. Zhou Ze led them to a side hall, where the guests and hosts took their seats and were served tea by the servants.
Zhou Ze and Zhou Kui were still sitting upright. Zhou Kui was brimming with coldness as he said, "This old man is a straightforward person, so I don't beat around the bush when I speak. Today, I took the liberty to invite the two of you over, and I am indeed delighted to see your talents. The two of you are old and incompetent, so you must have a long future ahead of you. Although your Zhou Family is located in a remote area, you are most fond of making friends with heroes from all sides.
"The seven of you are just passing by and will leave in the future. I appreciate Elder's kindness."
Ding Jin said, "Xiao Xinghe hurriedly agreed. Although you are from a family, you know the hardships of rogue cultivators. If the two of you are willing to work for your Zhou Family, your Zhou Family will naturally treat the two of you unfairly."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands heavily.
Immediately, two handsome and middle-aged servants came out from the door, each carrying a tray. When they arrived in front of Zhou Ze and Fellow Daoist Niu, they put down the two storage pouches under the trays, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.
Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows, "Elder, what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Kui smiled. "Would the two of you like to take a look first?"
Ding Jin picked up a storage pouch and opened it to take a look. She saw that it was full of low-grade spirit stones. There were no spirit pills for cultivation, and there was not a single magic tool level treasure.
"The Zhou Family is really good, Xiao Fang!" Zhou Ze put down the storage bag in his hand. Even though I saw that there were fewer treasures, I was still shocked by the Zhou Clan's wealth. There were indeed a lot of things outside the storage bag. To any True Lake Stage cultivator, it was extremely attractive.
"The Zhou family's Xiao Fang also depends on the person." Zhou Kui stroked his beard, "The two of you will definitely have no future. Even if the two of you are willing to join the Zhou family today, it is wrong to form a good relationship. Your Zhou family is an aristocratic family, and you are well aware of the drawbacks of the family's cultivation. Naturally, you understand the principle that one less friend is one less path."
"That's indeed the case." Zhou Ze nodded. "Does Xiao Xinghe agree? It seems that Wei Lv is wrong. "
"Wei Lv?" Zhou Ze frowned. He knew why he suddenly mentioned a familiar name at that time.
"Wei Lv is a disciple of your Zhou family. He is currently serving in the Law Enforcement Hall of the Military Province's Zhou Wang Division. He is the captain."
Without a word, Ding Jin laughed. What was wrong with that old fellow?
Why did he mention Wei Lv? It turned out that he was waiting for Ze Fang outside.
He was also a member of the Law Enforcement Hall. This Wei Lv was also the captain of the bag. After that, there were very few people who came to do the job. Most of them were cultivators. In addition to the Zhou family's cold hospitality,
Therefore, even if no law enforcement team took the mission and came over, it would be a good thing.
It was his own.
Qu Wuhou could not send out a team, but it was not every time that he could not do anything. In the entire Military Province, the number of cultivators was as vast as the clouds. Among the aristocratic families, there were very few of them. Even if it was a small matter, it would be investigated by others. There were no small matters in the Hunting Pavilion.
In the end, a Zhou Family's Lu Ye was worth it.
Even the nightingale here had been bribed by the Zhou Family's Yan Lu.
In such a situation, how could Ding Jin be punished? How could I …
His name. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Zhou Ze …"
"Using such a method to make it difficult for the soldiers who came later to do the job?"
Captain Long Changzhi
The smile on Ding Jin's face quickly disappeared. He stared at Zhou Ze and said, "What is Xiao Xinghe talking about? Why do I understand?"
"It doesn't matter if he understands or not." Ding Jin took the teacup in his hand and turned to instruct Ding Jinyuan, "Eighth Senior Brother, the Zhou family intends to bribe the law enforcement team that came later. They have all been caught red-handed. Put away the things and report to the department head later."
"Yes!" Fellow Daoist Niu grabbed the two storage bags and stuffed them back into his arms.
Ding Jin suddenly stood up. "Xiao Xinghe, the path is under your feet. You must widen the path!"
Zhou Ze also stood up and raised the guard token at his waist. "The Law Enforcement Hall is under orders. Those who dare to not stop, arrest Zhou Wang and kill him!"
Ding Jin had no such rule. Ding Jin was Han Hu, and I was Zhou Wang. But the law enforcement team was in the business of offending others. Lu Ye's fight with others had involved many young mortals. He viewed human lives as nothing more than grass. How could a cultivator like that condone such a thing?
Since I've accepted the mission, I naturally have to complete it.
Zhou Kui obviously knew our identities a long time ago. It was only because I lied about being a rogue cultivator that he was willing to pretend to be sober.
Although Zhou Ze could still do things directly, I wasn't prepared to waste too much time outside. Since we had to end the battle quickly, there was no clear path.
Looking at the guard token in Zhou Ze's hand, Zhou Kui's expression changed a few times. He never thought that the attitude of the person who came last time would be so weak.
After that, two more teams from the Law Enforcement Hall came, but they were all resolved by Ding Jin using similar methods to protect Lu Ye.
No matter what, cultivators were still humans. These cultivators who came to enforce the law were giving face to the Zhou family and Ding Jin.
How could Zhou Ze know about Wei Law? I've only been in the Law Enforcement Division for a short time, and I only know these people from the Unarmored Eight Brigade.
Ding Jin shouted and walked inside. Walking out of the small hall, she took out the tracking disk, determined the location, and rushed straight into the depths of the Zhou family. Fellow Daoist Niu followed closely behind.
This Lu Ye … was in the depths of the manor.
Nightingale might not be lying when she saw Lu Ye's whereabouts in the past year. The Zhou family also knew that Ding Jin had committed evil deeds, so they hid me inside the Zhou family. If I took the initiative to show up, Nightingale would see it.
But Nightingale definitely knew Ding Jin's location.
Along the way, they met many Zhou family cultivators. Those people obviously already received orders and knew what consequences it would be to brazenly obstruct the Law Enforcement Division's people from conducting the Eucalyptus Gathering. They didn't make things difficult for Zhou Ze and Ding Jinyuan, only following them from left to right.
In a short while, the number of Zhou family cultivators following the two had decreased to nearly a hundred. There were even fewer Zhou family cultivators who heard the commotion and rushed over from all directions. The number of people gradually decreased.
Only when they reached the back of a large courtyard, there were no more cultivators blocking their path.
Zhou Ze stopped and his Qi exploded. He shouted sternly, "The Law Enforcement Division is doing its job. Who dares to obstruct us!"
The two of them exuded the aura of a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses.
Immediately, many Zhou family cultivators revealed awkward expressions.
The Zhou family naturally wouldn't care about two True Lake Realm cultivators, but Zhou Ze and Fellow Daoist Niu are members of the Law Enforcement Division's Law Enforcement Hall.
What we have to face now isn't just Zhou Ze and Fellow Daoist Niu's group of seven, but the Law Enforcement Division behind them.
Zhou Kui flew through the air and landed behind Zhou Ze and Niu Daoyou. His expression was solemn as he said, "The two of you, this is your Zhou Clan's forbidden area. Please do not trespass. The two of you are here on a mission. If your Zhou Clan has any objections, you will cooperate. However, if you dare to trespass into the forbidden area, your Zhou Clan will allow it."
Ding Jin stared at me and said warmly, "If you want to barge in, that's fine. Hand over Ding Jin and you can take her away!"
"Ding Jin is already in the Zhou family."
"You've received accurate information that Lu Ye is hiding outside."
"This old man said no, he said no. Pavilion, please take out evidence. Otherwise, your Zhou family's forbidden area is not something anyone can barge in!"
"That's the evidence!" Zhou Ze raised his hand and threw out the tracking disk hidden in his sleeve.
Zhou Kui caught it and his expression changed. He clearly recognized the tracking disk.
He never thought that the Law Enforcement Division would be so extravagant in carrying out missions. They actually used a tracking disk to capture people. This was something unheard of.
"Scram!" Ding Jin took a step forward and charged into the courtyard.
"Stop us!" Zhou Kui saw that Zhou Ze was really going to barge in. He was a little angry and shouted.
Immediately, no one flew out and stabbed their swords towards Zhou Ze. Their auras were filled with panic, and the person who attacked was actually not a First-Order True Lake Realm cultivator.
"Coward!" Zhou Ze glared and unsheathed his Mountain Coiling Saber.
Sword and saber collided. Accompanied by a muffled groan, blood splattered.
The eyes of the Zhou family's young cultivators were filled with shock. Because the one who flew out was actually a First-Order True Lake cultivator from the Zhou family.
At that moment of astonishment, the Zhou Clan cultivators froze in place.
Zhou Ze's footsteps came to a halt. One man and one saber slashed through the air. Wherever he passed, the Zhou family's cultivators behind him would dodge.
Ding Jin Yuan followed closely in front. The saber in her hand also slashed out rays of light, supporting Ding Jin from both sides.
"Surround them!" Zhou Kui shouted angrily.
They could only surround them. Even if Zhou Ze was merciless, the Zhou family still dared to injure or kill Zhou Ze's group of seven. If they really did that, the Law Enforcement Division would definitely settle the score. At that time, even if the Zhou family was an Eighth-Grade Family, they would still have to bear the wrath of the Law Enforcement Division.
In an instant, all the cultivators of the Zhou Family surrounded Zhou Ze and the seven people of Daoist Niu as soon as they went up.
Ding Jin was still harshly shouting, "I'm sorry to offend the two of you. This is your Zhou Clan's forbidden area. You can indeed trespass. Your Zhou Clan will naturally give the Law Department an explanation for today's matter. Please quickly enter."
