Chapter 542: One person suppresses a whole clan
“Nothing is left, it is completely wiped out.”
This is the conclusion reached after Zhou Qing and others investigated the Sanxianxia tiankeng.
The head of the Zhang family in Hanyuan County, a master of true blood refinement, completely disappeared from this world.
No one sympathized with him.
Zhou Qing put down the snail in his hand, feeling a little pity that Zhang Xinkong's space ring was also destroyed in his self-destruction.
Lost the fortune of a True Blood Lord.
But there is nothing we can do about it. The more expert you are, the harder it will be to capture him alive.
If you want to get Zhang Xinkong's space ring, you must subdue him instantly. This requires crushing strength to do so.
As long as Zhang Xingong is given a little leeway, no one can stop him from self-destructing and destroying everything.
Zhou Qing and his group of eight were able to kill Zhang Xingong, but it was not possible to prevent him from self-destructing.
But not getting Zhang Xinkong's space ring is just a small problem. The net worth of a respected person is nothing to Zhou Qing, which is a slight pity.
The death of Zhang Xinkong is the most important thing to him.
After carefully searching every place in the giant pit, Zhou Qing came to Han Tielin who was adjusting his breath and asked with concern:
"Master Han, are you okay?"
Han Tielin withstood Zhang Xingong's self-destruction head-on. Fortunately, the Three Spirits Formation resisted most of the self-destruction power for him. Otherwise, there was a great possibility that he would be dragged to death by Zhang Xingong.
Self-destruction can be said to be a practitioner's last resort, and it is extremely powerful.
But even so, Han Tie was seriously injured again. After the battle, without saying a word, he immediately started taking medicine to regulate his breathing, which shows how critical his situation was.
At this time, although its aura was still extremely sluggish, it finally stabilized.
Han Tielin opened his eyes, felt his condition, and said with a wry smile:
"I just recovered not long ago, and now I am wounded again. I don't know how long it will take to recover this time."
There are no enemies like Zhang Xinkong behind him to deal with in a hurry, so Han Tielin must have to slowly recover from his injuries, at most. Take some normal healing elixirs.
It would be impossible to directly use the Han family’s accumulation like last time.
"But fortunately, we finally eliminated the scourge of Zhang Xinkong."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Yes, we have eliminated a scourge for Hanyuan County and the human race."
The Zhang family would provide 12,000 people to the barbarians a year, and destroying the Zhang family would be equivalent to saving a five-figure human race in disguise.
Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is how many pagodas there are.
"Don't worry, Master Han. When I return to Xuandu Temple, I will find a true blood healing elixir for you. It will not affect your future cultivation."
"It can be done by then. Ask Miss Han to go back to Xuandu Temple with me. After I get the elixir, I will ask Miss Han to deliver it to you."
Han Tielin looked happy and said quickly:
"Han is so shameless that I won't refuse, but how dare I let Mr. Zhou spend money? The Han family has accumulated a lot of medicinal materials, so Mr. Zhou can use them."
True blood elixirs are also very precious to the Han family. It is usually difficult to obtain. It is the kind that can be treasured as a treasure and passed down forever. It will not be used unless it is urgent.
Zhou Qing shook his head, "Master Han, you're welcome."
He wouldn't directly ask Luo Liuli for pills, but he has a lot of medicinal materials on his body, and he can give Luo Liuli enough. Take action to refine.
Han Tielin almost died due to Zhang Xinkong's self-destruction because of his affairs, so it was only right to get him a healing elixir.
After all, from today on, the Han family is their own.
At this time, the Han family's holy monk who was proficient in formations came to Zhou Qing and handed him three tattered formation flags.
"Master Zhou, this formation..."
He hesitated to speak. Zhou Qing looked at the Three Spirit Formation flag and shook his head.
The damage is very serious and has exceeded the scope of natural repair. If you want to continue using it, you must find a formation master to repair it.
This was what he expected.
After all, the Three Spirits Formation was broken by force, and it also withstood the power of Zhang Xinkong's self-destruction. It is normal to have damage.
As long as it's not completely destroyed.
"It doesn't matter. Although it is damaged, I can still ask seniors to repair it after I return to Xuandu Temple."
There must be a three-spirit formation in Xuandu Temple that can repair it. For people, don’t worry about this.
After repair, it can still be used.
Han Tielin asked: "Master Zhou, what should we do next?"
Zhou Qing turned his head and looked in the direction of Hanyuan City, his eyes filled with cold light.
“Zhang Xinkong is dead, so there is no reason for the Zhang family to continue to be at large.”
“Go back to Hanyuan City and destroy the Zhang family.”
The Aurora Flying Boat soared into the sky and flew towards Hanyuan City.
Judging from the soul search of Zhang Xinli and others, we can know that Zhang Xinkong was not the only one who participated in and knew about selling people into barbarians.
At least the higher-ups in the Manifestation of Holy Marrow Realm know about it, and as for the people below, there may also be people involved in this.
This family cannot be let go.
However, with Han Tielin's current situation, he has no way to take action against the Zhang family.
But it doesn't matter, without Zhang Xinkong, the remaining masters of the Zhang family are just fish and meat on the chopping board to Zhou Qing.
Under the wonderful tree, everyone will be killed.
At this time, the Zhang family was already in panic.
The Zhang family has already known about Zhang Xinkong’s death.
The place where the Zhang family places the soul lamp is guarded twelve hours a day to observe the life and death of the clan members at any time.
Zhang Xinkong's death was immediately reported to other senior officials of the Zhang family.
This news is shocking, unbelievable, and like falling into an ice cave.
"Impossible, this is impossible. The master of the family is a master of the True Blood Refining. Who in Hanyuan County can kill the master of the family?"
"Why is the master of the family not in the clan? Where has he gone? ?”
Some people didn’t know about Zhang Xinli’s death, so others quickly explained it to them.
"Are they dead? The head of the family went to investigate the situation and died too?"
The vision of a Zhang family member who had perfected the Holy Spirit went dark, and he felt like the sky was falling.
“This is definitely a trap, a trap specially set for the head of the family!”
“Who wants to destroy my Zhang family?!”
“Is it possible? Did the barbarians do it? They no longer need to cooperate with us, so they take action directly to eliminate hidden dangers. Only they have such strength."
As soon as this guess came out, it was immediately recognized by many people.
It is precisely because they cooperate with the barbarians that they know more about the temperament of this tribe of people.
Cruel and rude, he doesn’t treat people as human beings at all.
The most important thing is that after thinking about it, only the barbarians have the strength to do these things.
“No matter who is the person in the dark, the most important thing now is what should we do next?”
"Leave Hanyuan City!"
A man with a feminine appearance said decisively:
"The head of the family and the elder Xinli are both dead. Everything that my Zhang family has done has The risk of exposure."
"Once those things are exposed, the entire Hanzhou will not be able to tolerate us."
"Pack up and leave immediately. We will each take a group of tribesmen in different directions. Let’s go!”
This feminine man was very authoritative. As soon as his decision came out, others nodded in agreement, and then dispersed to collect the treasures and gather the clan members.
They cannot give up what the Zhang family has accumulated over the years, and there are so many members of the Zhang family, and they cannot give up all of them.
There is no way around this.
If they don’t want anything, then who will they be after leaving here?
Just a lonely ghost.
Besides, it's not like the enemy has already reached the door and they can only flee for their lives in a hurry. No one knows the enemy now, and it's hard to say whether something will happen to the Zhang family. It's impossible to be frightened into giving up everything.
Now that they can make the decision to disperse and leave soon, the Zhang family feels that they have made the most prudent choice.
But what the Zhang family didn't know was that, let alone packing up their treasures and gathering their clansmen, even if they left immediately, they wouldn't be able to leave.
The area around the Zhang family was filled with people from the Han family, squatting everywhere.
Zhou Qing naturally did not forget that after Zhang Xingong was ambushed, the news would be known to the Zhang family.
He also guessed that some Zhang family members might choose to flee immediately, so yesterday, he and Han Tielin had already discussed a response plan.
After they killed Zhang Xinkong, they immediately informed Han Shanshan that Zhou Qing was the one who hit the snail just now.
At this time, Han Shanshan has probably sent some experts from the Han family to guard the various exits of the Zhang family.
Including the secret passage that Zhang Xinkong once secretly met the barbarians walking through, Zhou Qing also told Han Shanshan the location of the exit of the secret passage.
On the way back to Hanyuan City, Zhou Qing had been communicating with Han Shanshan through Snail, asking about the situation there.
There was indeed some movement in the Zhang family. Those Zhang family members who were running businesses in various parts of Hanyuan City all hurried back to the Zhang family in this short time.
Han Tielin judged: "The Zhang family should want to leave Hanyuan City, but it seems that they still need some time to prepare."
Zhou Qing smiled, "We need to be prepared. Ah, it’s better to prepare more time.”
The Aurora Flying Boat entered Hanyuan City, and Han Tielin returned to the Han family and sat in the center to dispatch the experts of the Han family.
The six Han family monks followed Zhou Qing to assist him in his actions.
Zhou Qing was in a state of soul at the moment, and he went straight to the front door of the Zhang family.
The doormen are still performing their duties conscientiously, and there is no panic on their faces.
In the same way, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to notify a few guards of the news of Zhang Xinkong's death. The ignorant are fearless.
When the senior officials of the Zhang family make the decision to leave Hanyuan City, it is destined that some people will become abandoned.
"Stop, this is Zhang..."
Before the guard could say anything, Zhou Qing waved his hand and took out the identity certificate for the inner gate of Xuandu.
"You dare to stop me, a disciple of Xuandu Temple?"
The guards were startled and subconsciously got out of the way.
"Boom!"
The explosion sounded, the Zhang family door exploded, and Zhou Qing rushed in directly.
At the same time, the guards immediately fell to the ground and were subdued by Zhou Qing in an instant.
Several Han family members rushed out of the crowd and dragged them away.
Such a violent movement immediately attracted the attention of others. After seeing Zhou Qing's actions, they were immediately in an uproar.
“Who is that person, who dares to force his way into the Zhang family?”
“I seem to have heard a disciple of Xuanduguan...”
"What?!"
Zhou Qing's mental power expanded unscrupulously, and he accurately sensed the masters of the Marrow Revealing Realm in the Zhang family.
He was so unscrupulous that he was naturally noticed in turn.
"Who dares to come to the Zhang family and act recklessly!"
"Seeking death!"
There were angry shouts one after another, and some people came straight towards Zhou Qing, but some experts were horrified, thinking about Zhang Xinkong's death, and immediately turned around and left.
The head of the family had just died, and someone came directly to the door?
There must be something wrong with this! run!
“Humph, want to escape?”
The Heaven and Earth Sword and Jade Talisman appeared, as fast as lightning, heading straight for the masters he perceived.
The divine power was so majestic that the targeted senior executives of the Zhang family were horrified beyond measure.
Obviously he is just a day-traveling monk, how can his strength be so terrifying?
As an artifact, the Purple Jade Talisman naturally has more than just the function of a thunder and fire seal amplifier.
That is just one of its abilities, and it is also a weapon of destruction even more terrifying than the Heaven and Earth Sword!
When facing normal enemies, the power of thunder, earth and fire is certainly more destructive and destructive than the awe-inspiring Qi.
Other Yinshen Lords can refine the most common divine weapon with one or two divine materials and some auxiliary materials.
Zhou Qing's natal magical weapon can be called a "taotie", a magical weapon that has been upgraded after swallowing many magical materials.
There is a reason for the high consumption.
The main body of Miao Shu is an advanced artifact, and the auxiliary weapons it grows are all artifacts without any flaws.
Of course, the appetite for such a special natal magic weapon will be huge.
The two artifacts bloomed with divine power, causing constant killings and killing enemies from afar.
This is the convenience of monks compared to warriors.
How could ordinary monks in the Holy Marrow Cleansing Realm be able to block Zhou Qing's natal artifact, chopping melons and vegetables, and killing them indiscriminately.
It looks like a late-stage Japanese player is controlling the artifact, but with the background of Zhou Qing’s soul, it is comparable to the normal manifestation of the holy realm.
How could these people who were "in the same situation" as him be able to stop him?
Unless they also possess artifacts or real weapons, then they are qualified to resist.
But it’s just a qualification.
Miaoshu can exert its full power in Zhou Qing's hands. Can their artifact/real weapon be able to?
Of course not!
After the physical body of a senior member of the Zhang family died, his soul was directly suppressed by the two artifacts.
Zhou Qing himself was not idle either. He went directly in another direction and took matters into his own hands to harvest some lives and souls.
"Bastard! I want you to die!"
At this time, a roar resounded throughout the Zhang family, and then some places in the Zhang family lit up, and many runes shone.
Some senior members of the Zhang family activated the Zhang family's magic circle to kill Zhou Qing, the perpetrator.
Zhou Qing found the correct position and went straight to the speaker. At the same time, a huge force surged forward and pressed directly against him.
Between heaven and earth, there is pressure from all directions.
The Zhang family’s formation is quite impressive.
“Boom!”
Like falling meteorites, they violently bombarded Zhou Qing, one after another, endlessly.
But he saw that in the place where endless meteors fell, a divine light shone brightly, never extinguished, and was moving rapidly towards the center of the formation.
Zhou Qing is still fierce in the formation!
I saw the wonderful tree above his head, with its divine light shining down, protecting him and blocking all attacks.
There are also talismans flashing around him, playing a role.
It plays the role of defense, relief, or diversion.
These are the talismans he dropped from the fairy tree. Although their functions are relatively conventional, they are really useful.
The Heaven and Earth Haoran Sword and Purple Jade Talisman are unstoppable and powerful, not to mention their mother body, the wonderful tree itself.
Zhou Qing’s natal magic weapon is a wonderful tree from beginning to end!
If the power of swords and talismans is equivalent to normal natal magic weapons, then the wonderful tree itself must be even more powerful.
Of course, this is also the reason why the Zhang family’s clan-protecting formation is not fully powerful at the moment.
He suddenly broke in, and then used the divine weapon to kill everyone, taking the lives of many Zhang family Xiansheng Marrow Realm, and caught the Zhang family's senior officials off guard.
Now that the formation is in a hurry, the power of the formation cannot be fully displayed.
The Zhang family's clan-protecting formation is not a Yin Shen formation, but a clever way to arrange several combined formations at the holy level to make the formation even more powerful. floors.
But compared with the real god-level clan protection array, there is still a big gap.
In the world of cultivation skills, those who cultivate pills, utensils, and talismans are the most numerous, while those who cultivate formations are the least. They are very rare.
Among the various formations, the sect-protecting formation is one of the most difficult to set up. It takes more than one person to form the formation.
The Zhang family started from Hengchuan County and did not yet have the background to hire someone to set up a true god-level clan-protecting formation.
And this kind of joint formation is not as smooth and smooth as a formation when controlled.
It requires several masters to be in the center of the formation at the same time and work together to perfectly unleash the power of the formation.
Zhou Qing suddenly broke in and killed indiscriminately. In the Zhang family's joint formation, several formations were empty now.
The most important thing is that the people in the main formation are not good enough.
If a True Blood Lord were in charge of the formation, Zhou Qing could be killed in an instant, but the person in charge of the formation at this moment is probably around the late stage of Xian Sheng.
The formations were innately incompetent, preparations were not sufficient, the various formations did not fully cooperate, and the main formation was not strong enough, so that in such a clan-protecting formation, Zhou Qing relied on Miaoshu itself and All kinds of treasures are still rampant.
From the outside, this is quite scary.
But Zhou Qing could also keenly feel that as the power of the Zhang family's formation gradually increased, others arrived at the other side of the formation and cooperated with each other to gradually bring out the power of the formation.
We must get rid of the masters of the Zhang family before this formation can fully exert its power!
Zhou Qing had a clear understanding in his heart that even the youthful version of the clan-protecting divine formation would be difficult for him to resist if it exerted its ultimate power.
At this time, a continuous roar suddenly erupted outside the Zhang family, and a large number of masters were attacking the Zhang family's array.
It is the masters of the Han family who have come to support.
The appearance of these people also shared a lot of the power of the formation, allowing Zhou Qing to charge faster.
He found a leader who was a master of marrow cleansing, with a gentle face and fierce eyes.
Zhou Qing recognized this man, Zhang Bo, the Zhang family’s most promising warrior to be promoted to True Blood.
Unfortunately, after today, there is no hope.
“Who are you?”
Zhang Bo’s eyes were fierce.
"Man is doing it, and God is watching. Do you think what the Zhang family is doing is really flawless?"
The wonderful tree glows, the sword energy is endless, and it shoots out, Zhou Qing seals at the same time, chaos The fire dragon roared to heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
With endless roars and endless bright sounds, the nearby buildings were destroyed in an instant, leaving no residue behind.
Zhang Bo was surrounded by formation forces, but under Zhou Qing's constant attack, which was too powerful for the Holy Realm to withstand, the formation barrier made an overwhelmed sound, then deformed and appeared. cracked, and finally shattered.
Zhang Bo, who had thoroughly cleansed his marrow, was directly swallowed by the sword energy and the fire dragon, leaving only his dying soul to be suppressed by Zhou Qing.
The Chaos Fire Dragon raged and completely destroyed the formations here.
A single move affects the whole body, and the entire Zhang family's clan protection formation is immediately affected.
But Zhou Qing's steps have not stopped yet, and he continues to rush towards the next formation.
At this moment, his pressure was relieved again, one of the formation's eyes was damaged, and the masters of the Han family continued to attack the formation.
This formation is no longer effective.
"Who dares to commit murder in Hanyuan City!"
Suddenly, an angry shout sounded, and then a terrifying aura swept across, shocking people's hearts.
A Lord Yin Shen came.
"Han family, what do you want to do?! Stop it immediately!"
Another shout rang out, with a majestic and terrifying momentum. It was also a figure of the Venerable level, but in the True Blood realm.
Hanyuan County Guishen and Dingwu Divisions are all in charge.
Zhou Qing once again killed a leader of the formation, destroying the core pattern of the formation, then rose into the sky, faced the two governors, and said loudly:
"This is The Xuanduguan disciples are on a mission, and the Zhang family has colluded with the barbarians, which is an unforgivable crime!"
Both of them immediately locked eyes and stared at Zhou Qing.
Dingwu Siduguan looked indifferent and his eyes showed a cold light.
After hearing Zhou Qing’s explanation, Guishen Si Duguan’s expression softened slightly, but he also frowned.
"You are Zhou Qing?"
"Su Du Guan, your disciple is Zhou Qing!"
Because Hanzhou is the headquarters of the Ghosts and Gods Division, Hanzhou cultivation world The general strength is also very strong, so all the ghosts and gods in every county in this state are in charge, and Xuanduguan directly sends elders from the sect to serve, and they are all in the Yin Shen realm.
The situation is different from other states.
After all, if you send a few holy realms to watch over every county, you won't be able to shake off forces like the Han family and the Zhang family.
When Zhou Qing comes to Hanyuan County, he will naturally know the situation here in advance. No matter who it is, he knows.
"It turns out that he is a high-ranking disciple of Xuandu Temple. Do you have evidence that the Zhang family colluded with the barbarians?"
Dingwu Si Duguan asked: "Furthermore, the Zhang family colluded with the barbarians. Do you have any evidence?" Why do they act like this when it is left to the two government agencies?”
One person rushed into the Zhang family, stood up to the Zhang family's formation, and massacred the senior officials of the Zhang family's Xian Sheng Marrow Realm. This was too shocking and seriously damaged the majesty of Daqi.
"Guan Du Du, the inside story of this, after the matter is settled, Xuandu Guan will give an explanation."
Zhou Qing said expressionlessly: "Now I If he wants to kill the criminals of the Zhang family, he will not accompany him.”
It is certain that the Dingwusi Governor has objections to his behavior. After all, such behavior undermines stability and unity.
But Zhou Qing has no time and does not intend to explain it to him here.
He has already decided how to deal with the Zhang family, and even if the governor has opinions, he will not pay attention to it.
Du Du was furious, but after all he could not take action against Zhou Qing.
Xuan Du Guan’s disciples are dealing with families that collude with the barbarians. Is it possible that he can still stop them?
He can't.
If Zhou Qing was just a casual cultivator at this time, then even if he really had evidence that the Zhang family colluded with the barbarians, Du Duguan would dare to capture him directly.
You said there is evidence?
Funny, if you do such a thing in my jurisdiction, I don’t care whether you have evidence or not, I will kill you directly.
If it is confirmed later that the Zhang family really colluded with the barbarians, then I will take the credit, and you are the envoy of the barbarians, here to kill the Zhang family!
But because of his status as a disciple of Xuandu, Zhou Qing, he cannot do anything now.
After Su Duguan confirmed Zhou Qing's identity, he said nothing and just watched.
The formation's eyes were broken one after another, and the Zhang family's formation was completely useless.
Without the formation, those masters of the Zhang family were like sheep in front of Zhou Qing.
In the end, all the high-level officials of the Zhang family were killed, and their souls were suppressed by Zhou Qing.
As for the Zhang family members who were below two realms, Zhou Qing did not go out of his way to kill them, and it was impossible for him to really destroy the entire Zhang family by himself.
If they don’t appear in front of him, he will ignore them. If they appear, they will be subdued directly and lose their ability to resist.
His main purpose is to kill these insiders and participants who sold people into barbarism. Other Zhang family members will naturally take over the interrogation and punishment later.
In the end, the Zhang family was in ruins.
Zhou Qing stood in a courtyard, filled with murderous intent, and let out a long breath.
It’s over.
