Ancestor Above

89 Chapter 88-the heavens are changing

In cold wind Castle, Zhao zhengzha had just come back from the front line with the Zhao family’s team.

If cultivators didn’t face extreme situations, they would rarely embarrass themselves. They were the same.

However, it was easy to tell from their expressions that they were very tired and in a sorry state.

Four months ago, Zhao zhengzha had heard about what happened to his nephew, Zhao Pinggu, in cold wind Castle.

The cultivators of the Zhao family in the sect colluded with families outside the sect to embezzle and sell war materials. That was a serious crime. Zhao Pinggu was killed on the spot, and Zhao zhengzha had nothing to say.

Logically speaking, this matter should have been done in secret, but how did it get exposed so suddenly? Moreover, there were no signs of an outsider investigating the matter beforehand, which made him puzzled.

What made him even angrier was that the person who exposed this matter was his old rival, the Lu family.

If it were not for the fact that the sect had forbidden the families of the Feiyun state to fight and kill each other before the White ghouls were over, he would have brought his men to Yuyan mountain and wiped out the Lu family!

Of course, that was just a thought.

He knew that the Zhao family was in big trouble. What he was most afraid of was that after Zhao Pinggu’s death, the scandal would spread everywhere, especially the Lu family, who had a strong motive to make it public.

If this really happened, then the main Zhao family might be exterminated. At that time, only the cultivators of the Zhao clan within the sect would be able to survive under the protection of Zhao Zidan, a golden core patriarch.

But thankfully, this did not happen.

He also understood that it was not that the Lu family did not want to do it, but the sect did not allow it. After all, this scandal also involved the sect. If word got out, it would be a huge blow to the Qingfeng sect’s reputation.

However, this didn’t mean that the Zhao family would be fine. The punishment would definitely come.

Before the punishment was confirmed, Zhao zhengzian hurriedly sent a letter to old ancestor Zhao Zidan, wanting to ask for help. However, he was scolded by the old ancestor.

The person who brought the letter was a cultivator from the same generation as Zhao zhengzha. His words were filled with blame.

“Eleventh brother, the clan has really made a mistake this time. How can we do such a thing for some benefits at such a critical time? Even if he did, how could he act so discreetly and let the Lu family know? The old ancestor was so angry that he vomited blood!”

“Is old ancestor bi an alright?” Zhao zhengzha asked very carefully.

“It’s not good. I’m a golden core cultivator, and I’ll vomit blood if I get angry. Eleventh brother, think about it. ” The man sighed and said, ” the patriarch’s life is coming to an end, and his body is getting worse day by day. This time, after he came out of seclusion, he spoke for a long time and gave a lot of face before he managed to suppress most of this matter.”

“What do we do next?”

“Next, we will do as the sect says.”

In the end, the punishment was decided.

In Zhao zhengzha’s opinion, a fine of 40000 spirit stones wasn’t a particularly severe punishment. Although the amount was huge, it would be good if the problem could be solved with money.

As for the second punishment, it made him very uncomfortable-he had to bring another 40 cultivators from his clan and two foundation building cultivators to report to the cold wind Castle in the Xue state.

This way, more than half of the Zhao family’s forces would be on the front line.

All the cultivators of the Zhao clan had been organized into a group, which was much stronger than an ordinary A-Class group.

The stronger the team, the higher the chances of survival, but this also depended on the difficulty of the battle. If they were sent to attack fortifications all day long, their losses would not be small.

This worry became a reality.

In four months, the Zhao family was asked to carry out three offensive missions and also undertake a very difficult defensive mission. He even encountered two level three white ghouls in between. Zhao zhengzha had to risk his life and use his family’s Secret treasure to kill them.

In total, the Zhao clan had earned around 35000 contribution points.

However, according to the penalty order, all the merit points they earned had to be reduced by half. 35,000 merit points were less than 20000 merit points.

The point was that they wouldn’t be able to get the merit points, as they had to convert them into the twenty thousand spirit stones that they still had to pay.

In these four months, the Zhao family had lost more than 30 cultivators, including two foundation building cultivators, Lao Ai.

The blood was tragic.

The Zhao family had paid a heavy price for this. He embezzled 20000, spat out at least 60000, and even lost two foundation building cultivators.

The lives of these two foundation building cultivators were worth more than ten to twenty thousand spirit stones.

Zhao zhengzha hated the Lu family even more when he thought about this.

Fortunately, when they returned to cold wind Castle this time, their Zhao clan’s team could finally get a relatively long period of rest.

After the Zhao family made a mistake, they still put in a lot of effort on the battlefield, and the anger in the sect was appeased-of course, this was mainly because many cultivators of the Zhao family were active in the sect.

So far, the Zhao family’s matter was basically settled, except for the debt of a few thousand spiritual stones that had not been paid.

After returning to cold wind Castle and resting, a piece of news reached Zhao zhengzha’s ears.

Lu chaoxi has been enlightened?! is this true? ” Zhao zhengzha lost his composure.

“It’s absolutely true!” The clan’s cultivator who had sent the message had an ugly expression on his face. it’s all over cold wind Castle. This is the biggest news recently.

“I’ve never heard of the Lu family getting the divine lightning wood. Could it be that Yingluo broke through directly?”

“It’s highly possible.”

Zhao Zheng rubbed his eyebrows.

He knew that the Lu family had the intention to rise again in the past few years, but he did not pay much attention to it.

Back then, when he had almost exterminated the entire Lu clan, he had angered a good friend of Lu Qing in the sect. That person was hai Sande, one of the three gold core patriarchs of the Qingfeng sect. He could be considered a friend of Lu Qing. It was said that he had a big fight with Zhao Zidan back then and told the Zhao family not to go too far and to leave a line in their conduct. This was how the war between the two families was stopped.

Since then, the Zhao family had never targeted the Lu family. On one hand, they had to give face to the sect. On the other hand, it was mainly because the Lu clan would no longer have the ability to compete with the Zhao clan in the future.

The Lu clan had emerged, but that was all they could do. Their influence did not even exceed that of Pingyao County. How could they compare to the Zhao clan, the number one wealthy and powerful clan in anling?

In the end, they were set up in cold wind Castle and suffered a huge loss.

He was still wondering how he was going to settle the score with the Lu family after the war was over. In the end, he heard that Lu chaoxi had become Qiming?

In the entire anling Prefecture, other than the cultivators stationed by the Qingfeng sect, Zhao zhengzha was the only Qiming. This was also an important reason why the Zhao clan had been able to dominate anling for decades.

However, now that Lu chaoxi was clear, there would be too many variables in the future.

Previously, if he wanted to take revenge on the Lu Corporation, it would have been easy. Now, he would have to think twice if he wanted to suppress Wufu.

This was especially so after the Zhao clan had lost a great deal of blood in the war. They were at their weakest.

In the future, anling’s Xuanji would change.

Zhao zhengzha couldn’t calm himself down.
