Chapter 904 Return to the Ancestral Land
"Zhu Run, why did you suddenly come to the Great Wilderness? " Qin Ziling asked after motioning Zhu Run to sit down.
"Brother, the main reason I came here this time is to visit the Zhu family in the Western Territory." Zhu Run replied.
"Are you really related to the Zhu family in the Western Territory?" Qin Ziling said with a hint of surprise on his face.
"According to records, my ancestors drifted from the Kundong region of the Great Wilderness to the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea in the Great Barbarian South Sea. But before I followed my elder brother, I was only a third-rank True Immortal. Let alone crossing the Great Barbarian Sea to the Great Wilderness, even the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea was very vast and boundless to me.
Therefore, these records are of no significance to me, and I have never thought of crossing the Great Savage Sea to the Great Wasteland. It is just that my elder brother has cultivated me over the years, and my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. A few years ago, I even broke through and became a Taoist immortal. A few days ago, I suddenly had the idea to visit the Zhu family in Kundong District of the Great Wasteland. "Zhu Jun replied.
"If you really have a relationship with the Zhu family in the Western Territory, that would be a good thing. The Zhu family has a top-grade Taoist immortal in charge, has a deep foundation, and its influence spreads throughout the Kundong region. However, our roots here are still very shallow. If we can make friends with the Zhu family and support each other, it should be of great benefit to us." Jian Bailou said.
"A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. We have a shallow foundation in the Great Wilderness, so it would be best if we could make friends with the Zhu family. However, Zhu Run's ancestor, as a descendant of the Zhu family, wandered in the Jiuxuan Mountain area of the Great Savage Sea. This matter is probably not that simple.
If your ancestor was born in a declining branch and was not valued, so he was stranded in the Great Savage Sea, or if it was just an accident, then now that you are a Taoist immortal, you have returned to your hometown with honor and will definitely be highly valued by the Zhu family.
But if your ancestors had a grudge against the main lineage and were forced to flee and wander in the Great Savage Sea, then your return would probably attract hatred from the main lineage.
Therefore, Zhu Run, when you go to the Zhu family in the Western Territory, you must be careful to find out and not be hasty to reveal your identity. "Lai Yi Nuan warned.
"Disciple, I understand!" Zhu Run bowed.
"Why don't I ask Bao Da Ting to accompany Senior Brother Zhu on this trip? He has been traveling with me all over the Kundong Region over the years, including to the Western Territory, and he has set up a secret point there.
"Having him accompany you, he can arrange and inquire about some small matters, which can make Senior Brother Zhu less worried." Bao Yingjun thought for a moment and said.
"I have a relatively hot temper by nature, and it is something I would love to have my junior nephew, who is good at finding out, accompany me!" Zhu Run said with a look of delight.
"Haha, you are quite self-aware!" Jian Bailou pointed at Zhu Run and smiled.
"There shouldn't be any problem with this arrangement. Now let's discuss the matter of recovering the Lin family's territory and assets." Lai Yi Nuan said.
"Want to fight? Count me in!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Run's eyes lit up and a flaming shadow leaped out of his body.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhu, you have the blood of the Zhu family. If you really return to your roots, you will be our hidden man. How can you expose your relationship with Jinjian City at this time? Don't even think about fighting!" Bao Yingjun said with a gloating look on his face when he heard this.
"Anyway, such a long time has passed. Recognizing or not is just a whim. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it!" Zhu Run said casually.
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.
After a while, Jian Bailou said, "Now that you have returned to your roots, it is very important for our development in Kundong Region, but it is no longer up to you!"
"Okay!" Zhu Run nodded helplessly when he saw Jian Bailou speak.
"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this.
After laughing, Qin Ziling said, "The Ju family and the Lin family are old friends. Ju Gongyan also made a heroic move to save the orphan of the Lin family. It is more appropriate to let Ju Gongyan and Ju Gongyuan lead the troops in this battle.
On the Jinjian City side, Senior Brother Zheng, Cui Shanhe and Junior Brother Bao are all human immortals who need to be tempered in battle. The three of them can lead the troops to help.
The two teachers watched the battle from afar, and Senior Brother Feng, as the city lord, stayed in Jinjian City. "If Yuan Sui doesn't move , I won't take action."
"This is a very good arrangement. Besides, if Yuan Sui doesn't go out, you'd better not take action even if the battle is fierce and dangerous. If jade is not polished, it will not be made into a useful tool. If the battle situation is not good, it is better for us to hastily notify the Great Barbarian Sea to send people to support rather than you taking action." Jian Bailou said.
"That's right. In the early stages of a sect or a powerful force's rise, it can rely more on the headmaster to accumulate capital.
But as the sect develops, some of the disciples must truly grow up and have the ability to handle crises on their own. Only in this way can the sect truly develop and become stronger.
Just like the Ten Heavenly Realms, the reason why they are so powerful, beyond the Immortal Court and not subject to any control, is it just because they have the Heavenly Lord in charge?
If this is true, wouldn't the heavens also perish once the Heavenly Lord falls? But after countless long years, the ten great heavens still stand tall, towering over the Immortal Court.
There is no other reason, because in addition to the powerful Tianzun, there are also many strong people who can stand on their own in the ten heavens. For example, Min over there is only the fifth disciple of Yong Tianzun, but he already has the initial strength to compete with the Immortal King.
As for Yongtian, there must be no shortage of powerful figures like Bian Min, and even figures at the level of Immortal King. These are the reasons why Yongtian has strong capital and remains unshakable.
If our Wuji Sect wants to truly rise, we must also have a few people of that level, so that the headmaster can focus on exploring the great way without distraction, and only need to step in to turn the tide when the survival of the sect is threatened." Lai Yi Nuan said with a serious expression.
"Brother Lai's words are exactly what I was thinking! Wuji Sect has developed to its current state, and should no longer focus only on the gains and losses in the present, but consider longer-term development.
Yuan Sui is powerful, and no one in our Wuji Sect is invincible now. Once he makes a move, the leader will be able to use his savage skills to a small extent. But this situation must be changed as soon as possible!
We are determined to go to the Great Wilderness for development, and the real purpose is here." Jian Bailou said with a serious expression.
…
Outside Juling Mountain.
Ju Gongyan looked at his ancestral land from the sky. The mountains were continuous and majestic, and he felt complicated.
After that escape, he thought he would never have the chance to come back here.
But in the end, within just a few years, he not only came back, but also returned to his ancestral land as a Taoist immortal.
A loud bell sound came from Juling Mountain, echoing over the mountains.
As the bell rang, a brilliant light rose from Juling Mountain and illuminated the sky.
Hundreds of people walked out of Huaguang Middle School.
The leader was the head of the family, Ju Gongyuan.
Behind Ju Gongyuan were the elders of the Ju family, the heads of each branch, and the elite strongmen of the clan.
Ju Tingmao, who had scolded Ju Gongyan back then, was standing behind and to the right of Ju Gongyuan. At this moment, he was looking at Ju Gongyan who was flying towards the horizon with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
He is the young master. He has been gifted since childhood and has been cultivated by the family. He has always been superior to other members of the clan and has a good self-image.
Even though Ju Gongyan later got a great opportunity in the Dark Emperor Heaven and began to surpass him, Ju Tingmao still had an innate sense of superiority towards him.
It was precisely because of this that he dared to scold Ju Gongyan in public outside the Ju family city last time!
But now, not much time has passed, and Ju Gongyan has returned to his ancestral land as a Taoist immortal, becoming a big figure in the Ju family, on par with his father.
And he, and everyone else, can only look up to him!
"Greetings, Great Elder!"
When Ju Tingmao was feeling complicated, the unified voices of the crowd rang in his ears.
Ju Tingmao's heart trembled. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only quickly follow everyone else and bow to the end.
"Brother, this..." Ju Gongyan came flying and looked at the scene in front of him, his heart surging.
