Chapter 397.
Chapter 397: The family member
Zhan Fu Cheng Qingjia is very unimpressed, not to mention him, even his grandfather Cheng Shangling came, have to be respectful to the lady.
“Hmph, in my opinion, he is only using this as a pretext.”
With his fifth-grade Foundation Establishment talent, it was his luck that he was able to fall into Miss’s eyes and join the Zhan family.
Cheng Qingjia didn’t know how to cherish it, and was even pushing for it here.
Zhan Luo did not comment on the fact that the Hunting Competition had a total of three months.
If after another period of time, Cheng Qingjia was still this antiquated, then she would have no choice but to take some strong measures.
The cloud boat traveled on the sea for another day and finally arrived at the destination sea, gradually slowing down and stopping at the sea.
After Cheng Qi confirmed the location, she did not look too good, this sea area was extremely dangerous, there were several kinds of Jindan stage sea demon beasts living.
If they encountered Jindan Stage Sea Demon Beasts, the Zhan Family would be able to cope with them, but their Cheng Family might not be able to do so.
Third Miss Zhan had asked them to travel with her, but she hadn’t said that she would protect the safety of the Cheng Family’s cultivators.
Zhan Luo dropped the expressions of the Cheng Family’s people into her eyes, and the corners of her mouth scratched a touch of coldness.
Cheng Qingjia had gone so far as to pull in an entire team in order to reject her, and was simply asking for trouble.
“Didn’t you say you were traveling together, why don’t you leave?”
Cheng Qi squeezed out a smile on her face, “We are not strong enough, forcing us to follow Third Miss will only drag our feet, it’s better if we act separately.”
“How can that be? We have agreed to travel together, how can we leave you halfway?”
Zhan Luo’s tone was calm, not much joy or anger could be seen, “Follow me, don’t let me say it a third time.”
After saying that, she took the lead and left the cloud boat.
A hint of panic flashed in Cheng Qingjia’s eyes, “Seventh Uncle, what should I do, did I mess things up?”
His original intention was just to get Zhan Luo to give up, but he didn’t realize that she was so persistent to such an extent.
If he put everyone in danger, then he would be the sinner.
“It’s not your fault, let’s take a step and see what happens.”
Cheng Qi patted his shoulder, then looked to the crowd with a solemn admonishment.
“As long as we follow Third Miss closely, there shouldn’t be too much danger, let’s go first.”
Xu Chuniang mingled in the Cheng family’s ranks and kept pace with the Zhan family.
Cheng Qi’s words had some truth to them; with the Zhan family cultivators walking ahead, they would indeed be able to gain momentary safety.
It was just that this safety also meant that most of the sea demonic beasts were killed by the Zhan family.
Seeing the Zhan family’s demonic beasts killing in the front, but they could only follow behind, occasionally picking up one or two fish that missed the net, how could the Cheng family remain calm?
If they continued like this, they wouldn’t be able to run away from the bottom, not to mention winning over the other families and forces.
Cheng Qingjia saw it in her eyes, anxious in her heart, and finally couldn’t hold back to find Zhan Luo.
Zhan Luo killed the sea demon beast in front of him in three or two blows and glanced back at him.
“The sea here is wide, and the sea demon beasts are endless, so if you want to earn points, just do it.”
Cheng Qingjia had a hard time saying anything, the demonic beasts that infested the surrounding area were mostly dominated by the late stage of Foundation Establishment, often appearing as soon as they appeared was several, or even more than a dozen of them.
With their strength, really against so many demonic beasts, who kills who is not certain.
Seeing that the other party did not pay any more attention to his intentions, Cheng Qingjia could only go back first to bring the words.
Cheng Qi’s eyes flashed with helplessness, knowing that Zhan Luo was using this tactic to force his nephew into submission.
His mouth moved, and in the end, he let out a light sigh.
“That’s just it, you stay here to take care of the others, Tang Chuan and Fellow Daoist Xu follow me to go up and kill the demonic beasts.”
Among the Cheng Clan’s crowd of cultivators, only the three of them had the highest cultivation level and were able to keep up with the intense pace of the battle.
Although the late Foundation Establishment cultivators were equally capable of fighting, that would easily put the remaining five mid Foundation Establishment cultivators in danger.
After all, the sea was the home ground of demonic beasts, and the strength of the crowd was, more or less, discounted. Zhan Luo found out that the Cheng Family had made a tactical adjustment and didn’t take it to heart.
If she was going to do something, she would definitely do it.
Things developed as Zhan Luo expected, the Zhan Family cultivators cooperated well, and most of the time, the three of them struggled.
After struggling hard with the demonic beast for a long time, in the end, at the critical moment, the credit was snatched away by the Zhan family instead.
The same thing happened several times in a row, and the three of them sensed the flavor.
Tang Chuan’s brows furrowed as he secretly transmitted his voice to Cheng Qi, ”This Zhan Luo has gone too far. For the sake of his own selfish desires, he’s not afraid to push so hard.”
Cheng Qi was silent, finally gritting his teeth and killing the demonic beast with even more severe means.
Xu Chuniang inwardly sighed, strength is everything in the cultivation world, no matter where, this was an unbreakable truth.
If the Cheng family had a YuanYing cultivator in their midst, how could the Zhan family have bullied each other to this point?
The trio’s situation was seen by Cheng Qingjia, and his eyes slowly reddened.
He wanted to rely on his own efforts to revitalize the family, but no one gave him time.
If he was bent on having his own way, after this Hunting Competition, I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be long before the Cheng Family would even be removed from Nansha Island.
He finally took a step and walked towards Zhan Luo once again.
“The ones you mentioned before, I agree.”
The corner of Zhan Luo’s mouth was slightly hooked, the fact that he agreed so quickly, in turn, gave her a sense of boredom.
However, she wanted Cheng Qingjia, she wasn’t originally interested in him, but for the one thing he had on him.
It would naturally be best if she could get her hands on the thing earlier.
After Cheng Qingjia agreed to Zhan Luo, the situation of the Cheng family cultivators improved greatly.
Not only did the Zhan family cultivators no longer snatch and kill demonic beasts with them, they would even take the initiative to give them dying demonic beasts to kill, which was equivalent to giving them away for nothing.
Cheng Qi was in a complicated mood and suddenly became depressed and disillusioned.
Although he had advised his nephew to go from Zhan Luo, but that was in the end a liability, no matter how unhelpful Qing Jia was, he was also the family head’s own grandson and the Cheng family’s direct lineage.
But who let the other party be the Zhan family.
Against the Zhan family, not to mention a Cheng Qingjia, the entire Cheng family is not enough to look at.
Although Xu Chuniang didn’t know exactly what was happening, she also felt the changes around her.
She remained low-profile, only displaying strength that matched her cultivation.
She had become the Cheng Family’s guest secretary for less than half a year, and the fate of the Cheng Family was not something she, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could sway.
Xu Chuniang watched all of this happen, more deeply appreciating the reality and cruelty of the cultivation world, while realizing her own insignificance.
If she was the one who encountered all this today, with the power of refining the spirit and forging the body, she might be able to barely kill her way out from under the hands of these people.
But what if the other party’s cultivation was even stronger, so strong that she didn’t even have a chance to resist?
Xu Chuniang’s eyelids slightly drooped, hiding the sharpness in her eyes.
Only by going farther on the Great Dao and possessing greater strength could one control one’s own destiny.
The weak, after all, were never more than a handful to be slaughtered.
Even if one is lucky enough to survive in the hands of the strong, others will only praise the kindness of the strong.
Xu Chuniang had originally planned to try to return to the sect after finding out the directions to the Dead Sea and the five northwestern sects.
But now, there was a sudden shift in her state of mind.
