Chapter 262 Shock
But his face didn't feel the pleasure at all after drinking it, but instead had a hint of bitterness.
Recalling that when he first came to the Chen family, he was a little curious and condescending. The rice wine at that time had a novel taste, but it could only be regarded as average.
When he came for the second time, he was already the head of the Zhou family. At that time, he was in high spirits and proud of the spring breeze. Even the rice wine in the cup tasted much better.
But when he came here for the third time, he was in such a mess that even the sweet rice wine became bitter in his mouth.
Maybe it’s not the wine that’s bitter, but his heart!
Zhou Huaian burst into laughter several times, seeming to be laughing at these different encounters.
On the side, seeing Zhou Huaian no longer drinking, Chen Xingzhen finally couldn't help but ask:
"May I ask Clan Chief Zhou, why did you come to our clan late at night?"
Facing Chen Xingzhen's inquiry, Zhou Huaian just smiled and replied:
"There is no need to call me Clan Chief Zhou anymore. The Zhou family has been destroyed, and there will be no Clan Chief Zhou in the future."
Listening to these joking words, the faces of Chen Xingzhen and others changed slightly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Chen Xingzhen said hurriedly:
"Could Chief Zhou be joking?"
Zhou Huaian said lightly:
"Clan Chief Chen, do you think I'm joking? If the family is still here, why would I come alone?"
There was no emotion in Zhou Huaian's plain words, but his eyes were full of endless pain. Looking at Zhou Huaian's embarrassed look now, it seemed that this was indeed not a joke.
But even so, Chen Xingzhen still found it difficult to calm down and said again:
"But with the strength of the Zhou family, how is it possible..."
Before Chen Xingzhen finished speaking, Zhou Huaian had already spoken:
"There is nothing impossible. My Zhou family does have sole power in Yunmeng City and has few rivals. There are more than a dozen affiliated families below, but what if there are three Qi Control realm warriors in the family? It's still the same. Just a middle-class family!”
"Is even the Zhou family just a middle-class family?"
On the side, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but ask. After all, he was the only member of the family who had personally seen the glory of the Zhou family, so he naturally knew the size and strength of the Zhou family.
"Hehehe, naturally."
"The world is so big that families are widely distributed, but most families only have dozens of people, and there are no Xiantian realm warriors in the family. These families can only be regarded as low-class families!"
"If there is a Xiantian realm warrior in the family, we can call it a small family! As long as we don't think about continuing to develop, it can last for decades."
"Beyond the small family, there is the middle family! There is a clear boundary between the two. If you want to become a middle family, the family needs at least one or even several third-level warriors in the air control realm, and there are thousands of people in the family!"
"Beyond the middle-class families, there are also high-class families. The upper-class families also need at least one or even several warriors at the second level of Qi Control Realm. There are tens of thousands of people in the clan!"
"Beyond the top families are the top families. These families need at least one or even several warriors who have reached the martial arts true elixir or true fire god refining realm, and the clan members number in the tens or even hundreds of thousands."
"Beyond the top families, there are aristocratic families! A family that lasts for a hundred years, a family that lasts for a thousand years! The aristocratic family no longer cares about the number of people, but there is at least one heaven and earth Tongxuan realm warrior in the family! Only the heaven and earth Tongxuan realm warriors can live as long as Able to maintain the family’s glory for thousands of years!”
"The world is so big, so what do I, Yunmeng City, mean?"
Zhou Huaian laughed at himself.
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing and others also had blank expressions on their faces. This information had a big impact on them.
According to Zhou Huaian, the family could only be regarded as a low-class family before, but now it can barely be regarded as a small family.
But the highest realm among the clan is only in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, and there are only more than 200 people in the clan. This is still a long way from the middle-level family, not to mention that there are many boundaries above the middle-level family.
The family continues to develop, and I don’t know when it will become a superior family.
Chen Xingzhen also sighed in his heart after hearing this. In fact, after Zhou Huaian came last time, his father had already supplemented a lot of knowledge for him that he had never known before. However, he did not tell the tribesmen. He was worried that the tribesmen would encounter enemies because of the vast outside world. Strong and lose the courage to fight.
But this matter must be told to the tribe after all. If you don’t know the difficulties and dangers ahead, how can you inspire the fighting spirit!
At this moment, Chen Xingzhen was thinking more. The one who could easily destroy the Zhou family would definitely not be a middle-class family like the Zhou family. It would at least be a high-class family, with several warriors at the second level of the air control realm.
What only puzzled him was why the Zhou family in Yunmeng City offended the superior families and even suffered the disaster of genocide.
Before Chen Xingzhen could ask, Chen Tianjing on the side couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Huaian's eyes were long and he sighed:
"If you don't want your family to follow in the footsteps of my Zhou family, it's best not to know."
After hearing this, the expressions of several people changed, and they stopped asking any more questions.
Zhou Huaian picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips again.
"Cough cough cough!"
But before he could finish drinking, he coughed out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Qingyu, go quickly and get some of the best healing herbs from the clan."
"No, thank you very much, Patriarch Chen, for your kindness. I accept it from the bottom of my heart. However, there is no cure for this injury."
"In addition, when I came here this time, I actually brought something from the family. Patriarch Chen might as well take a look."
After Zhou Huaian finished speaking, he took out a rectangular wooden box from his arms.
On the side, Chen Qingyu and the other two looked alert.
Although the three sympathized with the Zhou family, Zhou Huaian was a martial artist in the Yuqi realm after all. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the family must be on guard.
But Zhou Huaian didn't care and threw the thing in his hand out directly.
Chen Xingzhen took the wooden box and was not afraid, but just opened it slowly.
After the wooden box was opened, there was a strange flower in it, showing purple, blue and black. The flower looked strange, and it emitted a trace of white gas like water mist.
Looking at the things in the wooden box, Chen Xingzhen had a trace of doubt on his face:
"This is..."
"Yes, this thing is the Fengxian flower of my Zhou family. The Fengxian flower of my Zhou family is divided into three colors, one color is low-grade, two colors are medium-grade, and three colors are high-grade. The Fengxian flowers sold by the family before were all low-grade."
"Last time, I promised Patriarch Chen to bring a Fengxian flower, and now it is not considered a promise."
After Zhou Huaian said this, he coughed several times in his mouth, and blood instantly dyed his chest red, but his eyes were looking at Chen Xingzhen in front of him.
Chen Xingzhen took the wooden box in his hand, but did not accept it immediately. Instead, after a little hesitation, he said:
"The family has received a lot of help from Patriarch Zhou. If it is within the family's ability, Patriarch Zhou can talk about it."
