Chapter 84 Supporting Tiemushan

[Daocheng, something happened to the family! Come over here as soon as possible. 】

This was the message sent by the eldest brother Zhou Daobai. After only reading it for the first time, Zhou Daocheng couldn't help but frown.

I had only been in Bailin Lake for a few days, and something happened to my family. It was really puzzling.

However, hearing the eldest brother's serious tone, it seemed that the matter was not simple. Zhou Daocheng did not dare to hesitate and immediately got up and rushed to Zhou Daobai's island.

"Brother, what happened?"

Zhou Daocheng hurried over and saw Zhou Daobai's figure on the edge of the island. He had obviously been waiting here for a long time.

Zhou Daobai's face was extremely gloomy, and he carried a long green sword on his back. The aura around his body was extremely sharp, making Zhou Dao Chengdu feel uncomfortable, as if he was about to be cut open.

Vaguely, Zhou Daocheng suddenly realized that his elder brother's strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

He has broken through to the eighth level of qi refining, and he is still practicing the third-level high-grade "Wutu Kunyue Gong". With his extremely strong defense, few qi refining monks can make him feel dangerous.

But at this moment, just standing there, my eldest brother, gave people a feeling of sharpness.

Even after carefully exploring its cultivation level, it turned out to be extremely blurry and unable to be fully seen.

Not only Zhou Daocheng felt this way, Zhou Daobai's eyes also became extremely deep when he saw Zhou Daocheng coming towards him.

Although he did not feel the dangerous aura in his sixth brother, it gave him an extremely heavy feeling, like the pressure coming from the mountains, perfectly resisting his unexpected edge.

"This sixth brother... seems to have become unusual!"

Zhou Daobai's eyes were meaningful, but considering the seriousness of the situation, he did not take the initiative to ask. Instead, he took the lead and said: "Something happened at home. I don't know what means the Ma family used to convince the Chen family. The two major families jointly sent six ninth-level Qi refining people. The strong ones have surrounded Ironwood Mountain, and the family has sent us over to support them."

Zhou Daocheng's expression immediately became serious. No matter from any level, this information was extremely serious.

In terms of the value of Ironwood Mountain alone, with a first-level high-grade spiritual vein and thousands of ironwood trees, it is the most important place for the family, if not the only one.

Once it is lost, the loss will be no less than 100,000 spiritual stones!

And the loss of spiritual stones is not the point!

Without the continuous supply of weapon-making materials from Ironwood Mountain, it would be equivalent to digging out the roots of the Zhou family and cutting off a piece of its heritage. This would be extremely fatal to future development and could very well set the Zhou family back for decades.

As for the Chen family, although this family is not proficient in weapon refining, they do know how to refine spirit boats. They also need iron wood very much, so they have been eyeing Ironwood Mountain for decades.

This is also the reason why the family sent two elders to guard Ironwood Mountain!

It's just that there is no deep hatred between the Zhou family and the Chen family. The collusion with the Ma family in this sneak attack is really unexpected.

At the same time, there are a large number of Zhou family members stationed in Ironwood Mountain, more than 30 Zhou family monks, including Zhou Daobai's grandfather, fifth elder Zhou Changhai, and Zhou Daocheng's grandfather Zhou Changyuan.

This represents not only two family elders at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but also relatives whose blood is thicker than water.

Although Zhou Daocheng was anxious, he still asked calmly: "The other party has six strong men at the ninth level of Qi refining. The two of us will go...I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"The second elder has already led the hunting team there, and the family will also send people over. We are just assisting and taking the opportunity to meet the people of Ironwood Mountain."

Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly when he heard this and said: "Then go over immediately. Yunzhi, you stay in Bailin Lake. Cooperate with Lao Meng if you have anything to do, and wait for my return."

"Okay, leave this to me." Zhao Yunzhi agreed in a deep voice.

Zhou Daobai naturally noticed the word "Lao Meng", but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he was surprised by Zhou Daocheng's calmness and was not at all panicked as expected.

The two set off immediately and rushed to Ironwood Mountain.

Zhou Daobai's pace is fast and fierce, while Zhou Daocheng's is thick and steady. Their speed reaches the ninth level of Qi training, and their endurance is extremely high.

This made the two of them look at each other with admiration. Zhou Daocheng thought to himself: His eldest brother is hiding a lot. On the surface, he only has the seventh level of Qi refining, but in fact, he has definitely reached the ninth level of Qi refining.

But thinking about it, Bailin Lake is an important place. How could it be possible to only send three monks at the seventh level of Qi Refining?

Perhaps in the family master's plan, Zhou Daobai is the Dinghai Shenzhen here, and the only qualification for foundation building may indeed have been predetermined, but it is not the fourth brother Zhou Daoqi, but this secretive eldest brother.

With the two people's full efforts, the ten-day journey took only six days to quickly reach the vicinity of Ironwood Mountain.

Zhou Daobai looked at the surrounding environment with sharp eyes. Although everything seemed calm and unchanged, he could detect abnormalities in the subtleties.

"Sixth brother, how do you feel about the situation here?"

Zhou Daocheng's eyes were calm, considering every detail extremely carefully, and said calmly: "It's too quiet, abnormally quiet!"

Then he explained: "Ironwood Mountain has a first-order high-grade spiritual vein, and there is a lot of vegetation growing there. There are so many birds and beasts around it. It cannot be so quiet. It should have been cleaned up."

Zhou Daobai nodded secretly and said: "It shouldn't be possible to get in through the normal route. I know a secret passage. You can go and have a look!"

Zhou Daobai was about to take action, but was held back by Zhou Daocheng, "Don't go. Since they can trap the elders here, they will never let go of this secret passage. They are encircling the point to call for reinforcements, waiting. It’s us, if we break in rashly, we will die.”

Zhou Daobai frowned, but he still suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked cautiously: "Sixth brother, what are you going to do?"

"First use the communication stone to contact the interior of Ironwood Mountain, and wait for reinforcements from Mr. Zhang and his family. Don't rush this matter."

Zhou Daocheng chose a more prudent strategy. When faced with encirclement and reinforcements, he was most taboo about reckless rescue and arbitrarily mobilizing manpower, which would easily lead to gradual embezzlement, leading to a more corrupt situation.

So after a brief discussion, the two secretly retreated to the depths of the mountain forest, far away from Ironwood Mountain, and waited for the arrival of other tribesmen.

Two days later, the second elder Zhou Changping arrived and successfully met the two of them, but he also brought worse news!

"No need to wait, the family will not send anyone over again. The Ma family has taken action against the transportation team of Baiqi Pavilion. Dodge Shouyun was attacked by surprise. Shou Rong and the others have already gone to support. Now there is no extra manpower." Zhou Changping said in a cold voice. Like ice, there is a bit of fierceness in the eyes.

"Then we are the only ones here in Ironwood Mountain?"

Zhou Daobai asked, feeling the difficulty of the matter and feeling the pressure doubled.

"What? Just like us?" Zhou Shouxun, the deputy of the hunting team and a senior of the Zhou family, couldn't help complaining: "I really don't know how the family master arranged it. There are six ninth-level Qi refining experts here. I just sent an elder and two juniors, aren’t they here to die?”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was once again depressing, and a heavy haze pressed on the hearts of every clan member.

"snort!"

The second elder Zhou Changping snorted angrily, and powerful energy hit Zhou Shouxun's chest, and said loudly: "The dignified deputy of the hunting team, is the person who will take over the position of leader of the hunting team in the future only have this kind of character?"
