Zhao Chonggu entered the main hall.
After seeing Shi Zhou, all the eyes in the hall suddenly looked at him.
Thinking that he, Zhao, was a real person in the world, under the gaze of so many immortal cultivators, drops of cold sweat could not help but form on his forehead.
He couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.
should......
You didn't do anything wrong.
It was the patriarch who solved his embarrassment in time: "Chonggu, there is no need to be polite, take a seat."
Zhao Chonggu felt that the patriarch's eyes were piercing, and secretly sighed that he was worthy of being a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. He did not dare to look at the patriarch, and glanced at the main hall. There was still one empty seat, which was at the first place on the right.
this......
It's definitely not a seat reserved for him.
Zhao Chonggu decisively walked to the third elder and stood behind Zhao Yongqi.
There was silence in the main hall.
The quiet and depressing atmosphere made Zhao Chonggu a little nervous, especially when he came behind Zhao Yongqi, the eyes of the cultivators followed him like gangrene on the bones, which made him extremely frightened.
It was his first time to attend a meeting of this size.
Before he awakened his spiritual roots, any of these people in the hall would be a big shot that was out of his reach.
Zhao Chonggu didn't know what he had done wrong to have so many pairs of eyes looking at him, so he had no choice but to lower his head and simply stay out of sight and out of mind.
...
"Ringing nine bells today, everyone must have questions."
After waiting for a while, the three "Yong" clan members arrived late to chat. The clan leader Zhao Shouyan finally stopped waiting and scanned the audience with his eyes, speaking eloquently.
Accompanied by the patriarch's speech.
The two boys slowly closed the tall brass door of Weishan Palace.
Even if someone comes again, they can only wait outside the door and cannot enter on their own.
Due to the semi-hollow design of the dome, even if the door is closed, it is still like daylight inside the Weishan Hall.
"Calling all of our clansmen here is actually a sign that our Zhao family has ushered in a major change that has not happened in a century. Therefore, we invite all of our clansmen to discuss and overcome the difficulties together."
The patriarch's words were unhurried and calm.
Therefore, even if it was a big change, the cultivators in the hall were affected by the patriarch's unhurried voice and did not show any strange expressions.
Everyone is listening carefully.
Don't miss every word from the patriarch's mouth.
This shows that the patriarch has a terrible influence on the Weishan Zhao family.
Since Zhao Shouyan became the patriarch, the Zhao family has gone through countless difficulties under his leadership; as long as he sits there, even if he doesn't say anything, he is the backbone of the Zhao family.
Young people like Zhao Yongwen may not be able to feel this kind of atmosphere.
But based on Zhao Yongqi’s experience.
With just a few words from the clan leader and the reactions of the Zhao family cultivators in the hall, it was easy to judge Zhao Shouyan's charisma.
After a pause, the clan leader continued: "In a few days, I will leave Luo Kingdom and go to a secret place. The fate of this trip is uncertain, and life and death are unpredictable, but most likely..."
Zhao Shouyan's voice was as gentle as ever, without any fluctuation, as if he was talking about an outsider, not himself.
He didn't finish his sentence.
But the meaning is self-evident.
This time.
All the cultivators in the hall immediately became unable to sit still.
The Weishan Zhao family relied on Zhao Shouyan's cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building and his ability to dance well. If the patriarch never returns, the Weishan Zhao family will exist in name only.
"Clan leader, you must not do this; if you leave, our Zhao family will be in danger."
"Clan leader, do you think you can let someone else go to the secret realm instead of you? Although I am not very advanced in cultivation, I would like to go to the secret realm with my body instead of the patriarch."
"Clan leader, is it necessary to go to this secret realm?"
The Zhao family in Weishan has developed to its current situation.
Naturally, there are not a few monks who have been offended. It is okay to have patriarch Zhao Shouyan suppress his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building. But if Zhao Shouyan really leaves, those monks who have been offended by the Zhao family will never let go of the opportunity to fight back.
at last.
It was the third elder who interrupted the noise in the hall and shouted loudly: "Stop making noise and listen to the clan leader."
There are four elders in the Zhao family, but among them only the eldest elder Zhao Deguang and the third elder Zhao Deqing are the most respected.
The Great Elder has practiced Qi at the twelfth level and is good at fighting. He has defeated monks of the same level many times. If there is a dispute with the outside world, it is usually the Great Elder who makes the final decision.
The third elder is knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the realm of Qi refining. Since the third elder took charge of the Chuanfa Pavilion twenty-five years ago, all the younger generations must go to the third elder's Chuanfa Pavilion after awakening their spiritual roots. Once upon a time, it also accumulated deep prestige.
As for the second elder and the fourth elder.
In comparison, he is a bit unremarkable. He just relied on his years to reach the ninth level of Qi training and barely reached the late stage of Qi training. He can be regarded as an elder by virtue of his seniority. There is nothing particularly outstanding about him.
In the "Chong" generation.
There are also several people with higher cultivation than the second elder and the fourth elder.
After the third elder spoke, the Weishan Palace, which was originally bustling with excitement, suddenly became silent again.
One by one, they looked eagerly at the patriarch in the top position.
Even the third elder is like this.
Because deep down in his heart, he didn't want the patriarch to leave Weishan and Luo Kingdom, but his reason told him that the patriarch must have his own reasons for doing this, and he would never ignore the Zhao family easily.
The clan leader, Zhao Shouyan, was not in a hurry.
He knew how much impact his words would have on the cultivators present.
After the palace calmed down, he continued to speak: "This time I went to the secret realm with my colleagues from Jiuyao Temple. It is inconvenient to talk about the details, but what is certain is that this trip to the secret realm is a must."
"And it's extremely dangerous. It's impossible to come back within three to five years."
The last sentence.
The clan leader deliberately emphasized his tone.
The Zhao family cultivators finally understood that the clan leader's departure to the secret realm was not a matter of discussion with everyone, but a notification.
A matter decided by a foundation-building monk.
Naturally, they were not allowed to make any rebuttal.
Moreover, he went with the monks from Jiuyao Temple.
Jiuyao Temple is a seventh-grade sect and controls every plant and tree in the Luo Kingdom. Some monks with dark minds have already figured out that Jiuyao Temple threatens the clan leader, so the clan leader has no choice but to agree.
after all.
Who has nothing to do, knowing that the secret place is extremely dangerous, but still has to go there.
The third elder said with a bitter look on his face: "Patriarch, after you leave, where will our Zhao family go?"
In fact, he also had the same idea. The clan leader was threatened by Jiuyao Temple, so he had to go to that secret realm.
at this point.
He didn't do any unnecessary persuasion either.
Since the clan leader has made a decision, it must have been a matter of foresight; and when he summoned the cultivators here, he must not have listened to their persuasion.
The clan leader glanced at everyone present, taking in everyone's expressions.
Then he said: "I called everyone here to discuss the future of our Zhao family."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Zhao Yongqi felt again that the patriarch Zhao Shouyan's eyes paused on him for a moment.
