Ancestor Above

In the Cold Wind Fort, Zhao Zhengke took the Zhao family's team and just came down from the front line.

If cultivators are not faced with too extreme situations, they seldom embarrass their appearance, and neither do they.

But from their expressions, it can be easily seen that they are all tired and a little embarrassed.

Four months ago, at home, Zhao Zhengke heard about his cousin Zhao Pinggu in Cold Wind Castle.

The monks of the Zhao family in the sect colluded with the families outside the sect to embezzle, steal and sell war materials. That was a big crime. Zhao Pinggu was shot to death immediately, and he, Zhao Zhengke, had nothing to say.

It stands to reason that this matter should be done very secretly, but why was it exposed so suddenly? Moreover, there was no sign of an outsider's investigation beforehand, which made him puzzled.

What made him even more angry was that it was the old enemy Lu Family who exposed the matter.

If it wasn't during the war, there was a ban on the sect, and it was strictly forbidden for the families of Feiyun Province to fight each other before the disaster of the white ghosts was pacified, then he would like to take people to Jade Mist Mountain and pacify the Lu family!

Of course, that's just a thought.

He knew that their Zhao family was in big trouble. What he is most afraid of is that after Zhao Pinggu's death, this scandal will spread everywhere, especially the Lu family, who are very motivated to make it public.

This thing is really about to happen, and the Zhao family's main family, so it is very possible to destroy the family. I am afraid that at that time, only the cultivators of the Zhao family in the sect will be fine under the protection of Zhao Zidan, the ancestor of Jindan.

But thankfully, that didn't happen.

He also understood that it wasn't that the Lu family didn't want to do it, but that the sect didn't allow it. After all, this scandal also involved the sect, and it was a big blow to Qingfengmen's own reputation.

But this does not mean that the Zhao family is fine, and punishment will inevitably come.

Before the definite punishment measures were taken, Zhao Zhengke hurriedly sent a letter to contact the ancestor of Zhao Zidan, wanting to ask for help, and then he was scolded by the ancestor for sending the letter.

The person who brought the letter was a monk surnamed Zhao, who was of the same generation as Zhao Zhengke, and there was blame in his words:

"Eleventh brother, the family really did something wrong this time. How could they do such things for some benefit at a critical time? Even if they did, how could they act so secretly and let the Lu family know? The ancestor was angry. I vomited blood!"

"Ancestor... but is it okay?" Zhao Zhengke asked very cautiously at that time.

"It's very bad. The ancestor is a Jindan cultivator. If you get angry, you will vomit blood. Eleven brother, what do you think about it?" The man sighed and said, "The ancestor's deadline is approaching, and the body is not as good as the day. This time, the old man went out, talked for a long time, and sold a lot of face, and only then did most of this matter be suppressed."

"What's next?"

"Next, what the sect says, let's do it."

In the end, the punishment came down.

The fine of 40,000 spirit stones, in Zhao Zhengke's opinion, is not a particularly serious punishment. Although the number is large, it is good if the problem can be solved with money.

The second punishment made him very uncomfortable—he needed to bring forty other family monks and two foundation-building monks to report at Coldwind Castle in Xuezhou.

In this way, the Zhao family has more than half of their strength and is on the front line.

All the Zhao cultivators were organized into a regiment, which was much stronger than the average Class A regiment.

The stronger team, of course, has a higher chance of survival, but it also depends on the difficulty of the war faced. Being sent to fight the tough battle all day long, the loss will not be small.

This fear became a reality.

In four months, the Zhao family was required to play three sortie missions and also undertake a very difficult defensive mission. In the middle, I also encountered two third-order white ghosts. Zhao Zhengke killed him only after fighting for his life and using the family's secret treasure.

After all, their Zhao family group estimated that they would earn more than 35,000 meritorious deeds.

However, according to the penalty order, all the merits they have earned will be discounted by half. The 25,000 meritorious deeds are converted to less than 20,000.

The key is that they can't get this merit, and they have to convert it into the arrears of the 20,000 spirit stones that they haven't paid yet...

In the past four months, more than 30 cultivators died in the Zhao family, including two foundation-building cultivators...

Bloody.

The price the Zhao family paid for this was heavy enough. He was greedy for 20,000 yuan, spit out at least 60,000 yuan, and broke two foundation-building cultivators.

The lives of these two foundation-building cultivators alone are worth more than ten or twenty thousand spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhengke hated the Lu family even more.

Fortunately, when they returned to Coldwind Castle this time, their Zhao family's team could finally get a relatively long rest.

After the Zhao family made mistakes, they were still working hard on the battlefield, and the sect was relieved. Of course, it was mainly the result of the activities of many Zhao family cultivators in the sect.

Up to now, the affairs of the Zhao family have basically been settled, except that there are still thousands of spirit stones owed.

Back at Cold Wind Castle, just after taking a rest, there was a piece of news that entered Zhao Zhengke's ears.

"Lu Chaoxi is enlightened?!" Zhao Zhengke lost his temper, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true!" The cultivator of the family who sent the letter had a very ugly expression on his face. "The entire Cold Wind Castle has spread all over the place. This is the biggest news recently."

"I didn't hear that the Lu family got the Sky Thunder God Wood? Could it be that... it was a direct breakthrough?"

"Probably so."

Zhao Zhengke rubbed his eyebrows.

Over the years, he knew that the Lu family had reemerged, but he didn't care too much.

When he almost wiped out the Lu family's whole family back then, he angered a former friend of Lu Qing in the sect. That person is Hai Sande, one of the three Jindan ancestors of Qingfengmen, and his relationship with Lu Qing can be regarded as a friend. It is said that he had a big quarrel with Zhao Zidan back then, and told the Zhao family not to go too far and stay on the line, and this stopped the war between the two families.

Since then, the Zhao family has not specifically targeted the Lu family. On the one hand, the face of the sect was given, on the other hand, mainly in the years to come, the Lu family no longer had the strength to compete with the Zhao family.

The Lu family has emerged, but that's it, its influence has not even appeared in Pingyao County. How can it compare with the Zhao family, the No. 1 wealthy family in Anling?

As a result, this caused a lot of blood loss in the cold wind castle.

He also wondered how to settle accounts with the Lu family after the war was over, but then he heard that Lu Chaoxi had achieved enlightenment?

In the entire Anling County, in addition to the monks stationed in Qingfengmen, Zhao Zhengke was the only one enlightened, and this was also an important reason why the Zhao family was able to dominate Anling for decades.

But Lu Chaoxi realized that there are too many variables in the future.

Before, I wanted to take revenge on the Lu family, so it was okay to say. Now, if you want to suppress it again...you have to weigh it.

Especially this time Zhao's bleeding in the war was when he was weak.

One change and another grows, the future of Anling... is going to change.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhengke couldn't calm down for a while.
