Chapter 2586: The head of the family, Zheng Yuan? (3rd update)

In a barren mountain in the west of the spirit world.

A disciple heard the middle-aged man's words and hurried down the mountain. After passing through layers of formations, he entered a small world.

After being passed on by several people, the news finally reached the ears of the head of the family.

But the head of the family only heard one sentence and immediately rejected it.

"No action is allowed. No member is allowed to get involved with the strong above the level of immortal general, lest the Zheng family perish in this world."

Once this order was issued, it was passed on layer by layer and soon spread throughout the deep mountains.

But what the patriarch did not expect was that not long after the news was spread, a lot of bad news came back...

Not long before, a large group of worshippers had just fled without telling the senior leaders.

The target seemed to be away from that city...

When the head of the Zheng family heard the news, he was immediately furious: "Nonsense!"

Then he immediately notified a large group of Zheng family senior leaders to climb up various peaks and observe the two figures on top.

"Who knows where the offerings are?" The head of the Zheng family stood on the second highest peak in the entire mountain range and shouted loudly.

Soon, people from other peaks answered: "Return to the master, to Li Na City."

According to the rules passed down by their ancestors, the head of the family can only stand on the second highest peak.

And if anyone dares to stand on the highest peak, it means that he will challenge the current head of the family and replace the highest position.

The current head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuequn, was the one who stood on the highest peak and fought against the head of the family with strength.

Zheng Yuequn heard the shouts from the surrounding peaks and was furious: "Do you know that there is an immortal in the Li Jian Sect!"

The senior leaders answered in unison: "Yes!"

Zheng Yuequn was furious when he heard the words: "Who mobilized those offerings!?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire mountain range was silent and no one answered.

Zheng Yuequn became even more angry: "This head of the family asks again, who mobilized those offerings!"

As soon as the voice fell, a young voice sounded.

"It's me."

The heads of all the peaks were surprised to hear this, and they all looked down.

But they saw two figures, one white and one red, standing in front of the retreat cave, with a strong aura on their bodies, obviously they had just broken through.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuequn frowned slightly: "Yuan'er, are you really the one who mobilized those worshippers?"

Below, in front of the cave, Zheng Yuan smiled and patted Mei Su'er on the shoulder: "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Mei Su'er held Zheng Yuan's hand and whispered: "I'll go with you."

Zheng Yuan smiled, motioned her to rest assured, and then left her there.

Then, he stood on the top alone.

Zheng Yuan looked around with a faint smile on his face, very calm.

When this happened, all the heads of the peaks, including Zheng Yuequn of the second peak, were stunned.

"Don't make trouble! Yuan'er, come down quickly!" Zheng Yuequn shouted loudly.

But Zheng Yuan not only did not come down, but also looked at Zheng Yuequn calmly: "Dad, since the establishment of the Zheng family, has anyone escaped from the top unscathed?"

Zheng Yuequn was stunned again when he heard this: "Yuan'er, you..."

Zheng Yuan changed his previous cowardice, drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, his white robe fluttering in the wind.

"Today's sky is no longer the same as it used to be. If you still seek food and clothing, no force can survive to the next era."

An old man at the peak frowned when he heard this: "How dare you! Do you know what the consequences of being an enemy of the immortals are!?"

Zheng Yuan looked around at the peak heads, all of whom were his elders.

Finally, he set his sights on the elder who spoke, and said in a flat tone: "Of course I know."

"But if you don't make enemies with the immortals, will the consequences be any better?"

After this, the peak heads fell silent again.

Zheng Yuan continued to speak, talking freely: "Tianji Pavilion worships immortals as the supreme, and has led the spirit race for nearly three eras. What about now?"

"Li Jianzong is headed by immortals, and even attempted to bring the immortal race down to the spirit world, but now an immortal general has trampled down the city of Li Na."

"Do you elders really think that not being enemies with the immortals will lead to a good end?"

Not far away, Lao Shu on a peak said: "Even if being with immortals does not lead to a good end, what good can be gained by being enemies with immortals?"

"We have protected the Zheng family for a lifetime. Do you want us to watch the Zheng family die in your hands?"

Zheng Yuan looked at Lao Shu and said calmly: "Zheng Chunhua, born in the second era of the immortal way."

Zheng Yuequn frowned and scolded immediately after hearing this: "Yuan'er! Be careful!"

Zheng Yuan made a gesture to Zheng Yuequn, indicating that he knew it in his heart.

As the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuequn did not intend to stop his tiger from taking off, and listened silently.

The old Shu looked dissatisfied, staring at Zheng Yuan with his slightly cloudy eyes.

Zheng Yuan continued: "As Yuan'er's biological aunt, she has the most direct bloodline of the Zheng family's ancestors."

"In the second era of the immortal way, she defeated the dwarf tribe who attempted to invade the Zheng family, became famous in one battle, and was promoted to the top warrior of the Zheng family."

"Later, when the western forces were in dispute, she vowed to fight to the death with the strong men of various tribes, and then fought against the strong men of various tribes alone, so that the various tribes of the Zheng family had no worries and could fight at ease."

"Later, the Zheng family announced that they would hide from the world and became the head of a peak..."

Listening to Zheng Yuan's inventory, the old Shu's face gradually improved, and at the same time, he looked suspicious.

This kid has been rebellious since he was young. If he says something nice now, he might be hurt later.

Then, the old Shu gradually prepared to fight back.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan just looked into the old Shu's eyes and said lightly.

"My aunt used to have great military exploits and was a rare giant in my Zheng family."

"Although she is old now, her realm is more advanced than before."

"But why did you lose the will to fight?"

Lao Shu was stunned when he heard this, and the words he prepared to refute were choked in his throat.

After a long while, he finally said: "I am old, so I naturally have to protect what I once had!"

When Zheng Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yes, you are old, but tomorrow is still a new day."

When these words came out, all the peak leaders were stunned.

They looked around, but all they saw were their old friends.

Since the Zheng family retired from the world and stopped fighting, the younger generation could not make military exploits, and gradually lost the position of the peak leader.

Gradually, the strong men on the peak leader grew old and lost their edge.

Only when the Zheng family faced a crisis could they exert nearly 100% of their strength...

And Zheng Yuan's words were like a blow to the head, hitting them directly in their hearts.

Yes...

They are old and no longer show their strength.

But the immortals' covetousness for the world has not diminished at all!

When it comes to the moment when the whole world has to fight the immortals, whether they are involved in the cause and effect or not, is it up to them to decide?

Zheng Yuan saw that the time was almost right, and continued: "Before the world's general trend, no force can stay out of it."

"We are just a force in the spirit world. Why do you think we can definitely escape?"

After these words came out, the heads of the peaks fell silent again.

When the Zheng family members in the sect heard these words, they all cheered for Zheng Yuan!

Finally, Zheng Yuequn spoke.

"So, do you really want to sit on the position of the head of this family?"
