The fragrance of bamboo leaves in Douluo Continent

Zhu Qi looked at Tang San who was being pressed against by the panda with some resentment. He picked up one of his pandas whose elbows were turned outward, and pressed the panda that still wanted to turn its head into his arms.

Then he said: "Zhu Jiu will send you away from the Star Dou Forest now."

Tang San's hand was empty, and he suppressed a slightly disappointed expression and asked, "What about Atuan?"

Zhutan didn't know the twists and turns in Zhu Qi's heart. She was forced to bury herself in Zhu Qi's arms with a confused look on her face. The soul power coming from her body made her drowsy.

"The seal on her body has been released and she needs to return to the clan immediately."

Then he looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "Please tell Teacher Zhao and the dean."

Zhao Wuji nodded.

Several people watched Zhu Qi and Zhu Tan leave quickly.

-------------------------------------

At this time, they were close to the edge of the Star Dou Forest. Under the leadership of Zhu Qi, they rarely encountered even century-old spirit beasts along the way.

Tang San's current mood can be described as a mixture of emotions.

Several people asked how Tang San managed to kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider despite huge consumption of soul power and poor physical condition.

Tang San was about to explain, but he suddenly woke up when he remembered something: "By the way, I almost forgot."

Zhao Wuji stopped and looked at Tang San: "What's wrong?"

Tang San raised his hand and wiped it on the twenty-fourth bridge on the moonlit night, and took out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Several people mentioned the death of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and then he remembered that his Zhuge Divine Crossbow had been loaded for the second time. The crossbow has not been fired. If the machine is kept in good condition for a long time, it will cause damage to the crossbow body.

Fortunately, only a little more than a day had passed, and it was still not too late to let go of Ji Juan.

Once the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is equipped with Ji Huang, it must be fired to disarm it, which is also one of its shortcomings.

Xiao Wu looked at the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Tang San's hand and suddenly realized: "It turns out you used this to kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider. This thing is so powerful, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eyes must not be able to withstand it."

Several people also heard Xiao Wu's words. They had been in a nervous state before, and no one noticed how the Man-Faced Demon Spider died. Then Tang San began to absorb the spirit ring, causing such a big commotion.

In the end, until the Man-Faced Demon Spider turned into powder, few people paid attention to how it died.

"Is this really useful again?" Ma Hongjun looked at the instrument in Tang San's hand curiously, but this time he learned the lesson and didn't get started, which shows how deeply Tang San's spider legs left a deep impression on him.

Tang San raised his hand, pointed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow at a big tree next to him, and pressed the switch.

Bang, bang, a series of mechanical sounds sounded, and everyone felt their eyes blurred, followed immediately by a series of pops.

Everyone's expressions changed and they looked at each other in horror. Even Zhu Jiu and Zhao Wuji looked at the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Tang San's hand with frightened expressions.

They have higher soul power and can feel the threat posed by this Zhuge Divine Crossbow to people more than Shrek students.

When everyone came to the tree, they could clearly see that there were two rows of sixteen finger-thick holes on the tree that required three people to hug each other. The holes were transparent and could see from one side to the other.

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but ask: "Tang San, what is this and how did you do it?"

Tang San raised the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his hand and briefly introduced the use of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to everyone.

Several people were shocked.

Once the thing in Tang San's hand comes out, it will bring huge shock to the spirit master world.

Because there is no need for soul power or martial arts, an ordinary person can use it, and such a powerful lethality can make a high-level soul master die without defense.

Ning Rongrong asked: "Third brother, did you research these?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "That's right." He couldn't tell everyone that this was a skill brought from another world.

Ning Rongrong asked tentatively: "Then can you sell this thing to me? The price is whatever you want. You also know that I am an auxiliary soul master and have no ability to protect myself. When everyone is working hard, I can only help a little. Apart from soul skills, I can only watch. If I have this thing, I can also have some attack power."

Tang San smiled calmly: "Whatever you want to sell, I'll just give you one later. However, the materials used to make this thing are very expensive, so you have to pay for the materials yourself."

A few people walked out of the Star Forest while chatting. Although the air was no longer so fresh, everyone seemed to have been relieved of a layer of stress and felt a lot more relaxed.

"Let's catch up one more journey and then we can rest in the town." Zhao Wuji said with a smile.

Several people nodded and speeded up the process in unison.

When they arrived at the small town, Zhujiu said goodbye to everyone.

"How about you have a meal before leaving." Zhao Wuji tried to persuade him, but Zhu Jiu's current situation was actually not suitable for traveling.

Zhujiu was thinking about Zhutan and declined, "No, it's still a long way from here back to Zhu's house."

Several people were slightly silent after hearing this.

Just as Zhu Jiu turned around and left, he seemed to have remembered something, then he came back and handed Tang San a black brocade bag with gold edges.

"This is..." Tang San was slightly dazed.

"The lady asked me to give it to you, saying you knew how to use it." After saying that, she turned and left.

Tang San didn't open it on the spot, but put the soul guide into it first.

A few people found a tavern to relax for a while. The next day

Tang San was thinking about the brocade bag in the bamboo sandalwood and the soul guide, and just took a few symbolic sips of wine.

Several people rested in the town for two full days. It would naturally not take that long for their soul and physical strength to recover, but their spirits, which had been in a tense state, needed to relax.

Two days later, everyone set off again. After a day's journey, they successfully returned to Shrek Academy outside Soto City.

But he never thought that a special person would be welcomed into Shrek Academy.

-------------------------------------

Zhu Qi had already used the Zhu family's information network to deliver news when he was on the road.

With the Zhu family's understanding of the Star Dou Forest, what happens in the Star Dou Forest cannot be hidden.

The elders who were already in retreat were alarmed.

"Second elder!" As soon as Zhu Qi entered the clan area, he saw the second elder of the Zhu family waiting.

The person who came looked like he was only in his thirties. He was graceful and extremely beautiful, but he had silver hair. His white elder robe could not hide his beautiful figure, and his beautiful eyes could not hide his worry.

"Give Atuan to me, and I will take her into the secret place."

Zhuqi nodded and handed it to Zhutan, who had fallen asleep since the beginning of the journey.

The soul power gradually wandered in Zhutan's body, and a hint of heartache flashed in the eyes of the second elder.

Watching the second elder walk away, Zhu Qi straightened his somewhat messy clothes and walked into the council hall.

When Yuntingyue learned that Zhutan had released the seal and was injured, she began to think about food and tea.

After learning that Zhu Qi was back, he and Zhu Yangze immediately waited in the meeting hall.

Seeing Zhu Qi coming in covered with dust, he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Xiao Qi, how's Atuan doing?" Yuntingyue's eyes turned red and she quickly pulled Zhu Qi to a chair and sat down.

"The second elder has already taken Ah Tuan into the secret place. The situation was urgent at that time, so I fed Ah Tuan the Eight God's Epiphyllum."

"Iori Yagami Epiphyllum?" Zhu Yangze nodded. Yagami Epiphyllum has strong medicinal properties. If it is absorbed by the soul power of Bamboo Sandalwood, it will collapse because it cannot bear the strong medicinal properties.

But if the seal is lifted, while transforming the medicinal power, it will also help Zhu Zhutan consume a lot of excess soul power.

It is indeed the best choice in an emergency.

At this time, Zhu Jiu also rushed back. He looked even more exhausted than Zhu Qi, and even had untreated scars on his body.

As soon as Zhu Jiu entered the meeting hall, he knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Yangze: "Please punish me, Master, Zhu Jiu has failed in his duty."

Yun Tingyue immediately stepped forward to help Zhu Jiu up: "What are you doing, kid?"

Zhu Jiu didn't move, still kneeling in the hall. Zhu Yangze looked at Zhu Jiu who looked stubborn: "It's not your fault. I didn't expect him to be here."

Zhu Qi stepped forward, lifted Zhu Jiu up and patted him on the shoulder.

Zhu Yangze rubbed his eyebrows: "There are elders at Atuan's place now, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. I will let Xiaowu and Xiaoba investigate the matters in the Star Dou Forest. You can go and rest first."

Zhujiu was worried about the man who suddenly appeared. He didn't know who the man was, but the seven black soul rings on the man had a profound impact on him.

He seemed to want to ask something, but seeing the tired look on Zhu Yangze's face, he suppressed the questions in his heart. After bowing, he followed Zhu Qi and left the meeting hall.

After separation, they returned to their respective courtyards, and night gradually fell. After Zhu Qi practiced and recovered his soul power, he went to the bamboo forest in the back mountain, where he saw an unexpected person.

Zhujiu is still practicing, even though his body is overwhelmed, but he insists on practicing regardless of his physical condition.

Seeing this, Zhu Qi's anger rose, and he raised his hand to interrupt Zhu Jiu's practice.

Zhu Jiu was so exhausted that he didn't even feel such an obvious attack. He was interrupted by Zhu Qi's practice and lay on the ground, unable to resist at all: "Who is it?"

Zhu Qi walked out of the darkness and looked at the scarred young man lying on the ground. He sighed in his heart and stepped forward to pull Zhu Jiu up from the ground.

Zhujiu barely stood still. When he saw the person coming, his eyes dodged a little, and he whispered: "Brother Qi."

Zhu Qi just looked at him coldly: "Come to my yard." Then he left first and disappeared deep into the bamboo forest in just a few breaths.

When Zhu Jiu saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

Brother Seven is angry, and the consequences will be serious.

"Hey, Xiaojiu, did you make Xiaoqi angry?" A man with a strong body and bronze skin with tangled muscles came out from a short distance away. His clothes were wet with night dew. He had obviously been there for a long time.

"Fourth brother." Zhujiu called someone.

"Okay." Zhusi walked over and patted Zhujiu on the shoulder: "Let's go find Xiaoqi first. He is also doing it for your own good. Even if he doesn't interrupt you, I will interrupt you."

Zhujiu nodded and went to Zhuqi's courtyard.

Zhu Qi is the most talented among the nine of them. He has already reached the level of Titled Douluo at the age of only 24 years old.

They are similar in age. Zhu Qi has taken Zhu Tan to play with him since they were young, and they have the closest relationship. Although Zhu Qi is usually free and uninhibited, in fact, he is the most terrifying one when he is angry.

Zhujiu has also been working hard with Zhuqi as an example, and he has been most afraid of this brother since he was a child.

He entered Zhu Qi's courtyard and saw Zhu Qi standing under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard, which they planted together with Zhu Tan.

He walked over obediently and called, "Brother Seven."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qi turned around and looked at the child he had watched grow up: "Xiaojiu, I know you want to work hard to improve your strength now, but cultivation is not achieved overnight."

"If I had been stronger, the young master would not have been injured." Zhutan's injury was vividly seen before his eyes.

"Cultivation with your current body will only be counterproductive." Zhu Qi looked at Zhu Jiu's red eyes, stretched out his hand to hold Zhu Jiu's wrist, and a surge of soul power poured into Zhu Jiu's body, helping him recover. Care about the hidden hurt.

The most taboo thing for cultivators is to leave hidden wounds. Once these serious hidden wounds break out, they will instantly destroy the body of a seemingly strong soul master.

Zhu Jiu felt a slight heat in his body and looked at Zhu Qi with emotion: "Thank you, Brother Qi." Then he received a burst from Zhu Qi.

Slightly aggrieved, he covered the place where he was hit and looked at Zhu Qi with a puzzled expression.

"Ha." Zhu Qi chuckled and said in a gentle tone: "If Xiao Jiu really wants to thank Brother Qi, why not copy the cultivation chapter in the family rules a hundred times."

Zhu Jiu's expression changed, and he remembered the cultivation chapters that contained several books, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, Seventh Brother."

Zhu Qi admired Zhu Jiu's ever-changing expressions and gritted his teeth in his heart: Little brat, I can't deal with you anymore. If you want to practice, then go and copy the cultivation chapter.

-------------------------------------

Zhu Yangze was sitting on a large carved rosewood chair. When he heard that Zhutan was forced to release the seal and was injured, he was so angry that he crushed the handle of the armchair.

After hearing who he was describing, his expression froze and he fell into silence for a long time. He waved his hand and drove everyone out of the hall.

Yun Tingyue walked out of the screen at the back, looked at Zhu Yangze who was now lost in his own thoughts, slowly put his hand on his clenched fist, and accompanied him silently.

This man is none other than Yan Yunji, Zhu Yangze's former good brother.

Yan Yunji and Zhu Yangze grew up together. The Yan family was once a subordinate clan of the Zhu family. If Zhu Yangze becomes the patriarch of the Zhu family in the future, Yan Yunji will naturally worship the elder.

The two practiced together, grew up together, and were brothers.

Zhu Yangze met Yun Tingyue when he was out training, then met the two brothers from the Tang family, and then met A Yin.

And Yan Yunji also met a woman who wanted to be with him for the rest of his life during his experience.

Several people often wrote letters and kept in close contact.

Until one time, Yan Yunji wrote a letter saying: "Aze, I'm going home. Aling is pregnant. I'm going home to get married. Now I'm one step ahead of the curve. Come back and attend my wedding!"

Across the letter paper, you can feel the deep joy coming from Yan Yunji.

When Zhu Yangze received the letter, Zhu Yangze was overjoyed. He immediately said goodbye to A Yin and Tang Hao, and rushed back to Zhu's home with Yunting Yue.

By then they had been at sea for nearly a month.

By the time I returned to the mainland, two months had passed since I received the letter.

Only then did Zhu Yangze receive the news that the entire Yan family had been massacred. Yan Yunji betrayed the Zhu family and made a public statement. From then on, he and the Zhu family were at odds with each other.

Zhu Yangze couldn't believe the information he received. They grew up together, studied together, and protected the soul beast together. He was the person least likely to betray the Zhu family. What exactly happened.

Zhu Yangze first found Yan Yunji, but Yan Yunji didn't want to see him. He asked to see him several times. Finally, the two even had a fight. He scratched Yan Yunji's face, but Yan Yunji did not continue. He turned around and left.

He didn't understand until he returned to the clan.

The elder of the Zhu family actually did such a thing.

Yan Yunji returned to the clan first, and after taking Aling to meet his parents, he also went to the Zhu family to meet the elders.

For Yan Yunji back then, the Zhu family was like a second home, and the elders watched him grow up and taught him worldly affairs.

Several people learned that Aling's martial spirit was an extremely rare and special healing martial spirit: Tai Chi Secret Lotus. I'm extremely happy, it means there will be an extra layer of life protection.

According to legend, this kind of martial spirit can revive the dead and make flesh and bones white. It is the martial spirit that everyone in Douluo Continent aspires to.

And Aling is talented and intelligent. He has already reached the level of Contra at a young age, and his healing skills are extremely powerful.

No one noticed a dark light flashing in the eyes of the eldest elder of the Zhu family.

The great elder actually transferred Yan Yunji away from the Yan family on the grounds of the soul beast rebellion.

He had accumulated prestige in the Zhu family for a long time, and was in charge of the sect's affairs. While the other elders were going to suppress the spirit beast riot, he surrounded the Yan family on the grounds that the Yan family was secretly selling rare spirit beasts.

The Yan family has followed the Zhu family for hundreds of years and has been loyal to them. To be accused of such an unfounded crime has already seen through the elder's dirty mind.

When Yan Yunji went to suppress the soul beast riot, she took away part of the Yan family. Even with Aling, a great healer, she could not sustain the frequent overdraft of soul power while pregnant.

Someone secretly sent a message to Yan Yunji, and several people hurried back, only to find that it was too late.

The entire Yan family was actually wiped out, even the six-year-old child was not spared. He had just awakened his martial spirit and even sworn allegiance to the Zhu family.

Yan Yunji looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He was holding the bodies of his parents, heartbroken, but Aling was nowhere to be found.

Several elders of the Zhu family were shocked. First, they immediately recalled Zhu Yangze. After recalling the differences between the elders that day, they realized that this person had a sinister heart.

Yan Yunji no longer cared that this was the Zhu family who gave birth to and raised him. With his soul power fully opened, he rushed directly into the elder's residence through the front door.

Breaking into the secret room, she found that A Ling was tied to a shelf, her breath was as thin as a thread, blood was constantly bleeding from the corner of her mouth, her body was covered with scars, and even the fetus in her belly had long been silent. Her eyes were dull, and she saw Yan Yunji, with big eyes. Tears fell from her eyes and she said silently: "The child is gone."

Yan Yunji stepped forward and hugged her down with trembling hands. He kept wiping away the spilled blood with his fingers, and kept pouring medicine that was hard to find in the world into Aling's mouth.

But it had no effect at all. Yan Yunji hugged his increasingly cold body tightly and murmured: "Aling, don't leave me."

Several people followed closely, looking at the tragic situation in the secret room, they were horrified. The elder of the Zhu family, no, he can no longer be called the elder after doing such a thing.

Yan Yunji was already filled with heartache and hatred. His eyes were red, and his soul power surged. He actually broke through level 90, and he had a faint tendency to continue to rise.

He gently put Aling beside him and walked towards the speechless elder who was suppressed by his soul power: "Don't you love your son the most? Then I will let you watch helplessly. It looks like my son is dead."

That night, in the Grand Elder's courtyard, the wailing continued, and the sound gradually became fainter, and no one dared to stop it.

It wasn't until the sky became dim that Yan Yunji walked out of the secret room with Aling in his arms, dressed in white clothes soaked in red.

"Aji." The second elder stepped forward and seemed to want to say something, but still didn't say anything.

Yan Yunji hugged Aling and strode out of the Zhu family clan: "From now on, my Yan family and the Zhu family are at odds with each other."

Yan Yunji buried all the 217 members of the Yan family and used a secret method to seal them. Only the clouds and mist rose, gradually hiding the traces of the houses.

From then on, there was no more Yan family in Douluo Continent.

When Zhu Yangze returned to the Zhu family, he found that the atmosphere in the entire Zhu family was extremely calm. He convened a clan meeting and laughed angrily: "No one informed me of such a big thing?"

Zhu Yangze personally took charge of the Discipline Hall and reorganized the Zhu family with a thunderous force. If he didn't check, he wouldn't know. After checking, he discovered that the great elder's lineage had been secretly selling rare soul beasts for more than several years.

Zhu Yangze personally killed these people who violated the Zhu family's precepts, and captured everyone who fled after the Yan family incident.

He stabilized his position as the leader of the Zhu family with his iron-blooded fist.

It's a pity that no one can be his worshiping elder anymore.

From then on, no one in the Zhu family dared to disobey the family rules, and no one dared to mention the affairs of the Yan family.
