Chapter 333 Changes of the Zhang Family

Chapter 333 Changes of the Zhang Family

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ya had been stranded in Xiaguang City for more than half a month.

In the past half month, Lu Ya not only had a general understanding of the various forces in Xiaguang City, but also focused on collecting and summarizing Zhang's information.

This action was not in vain. With the careful exploration of a Jindan master, at least many secret rumors about the Zhang family were discovered by him.

For example, the Zhang family's secret jade slip in his hand now.

Lu Ya didn't waste any time and slowly penetrated his consciousness into the jade slip. Suddenly, a large number of words appeared in his mind like a picture scroll.

A long, long time ago, when Taoist Jiuduan was still alive, the Zhang family at that time was just a small foundation-building family. It was precisely because of Taoist Jiudian, a genius in weapon refining, that the Zhang family was able to Under the leadership of Taoist Jiudian, he gradually reached the peak.

After Jiudian Daoist succeeded in breaking the pill and forming a baby, his weapon refining technology reached a higher level. As a result, the reputation of Jiuduan Zhang family spread throughout most of the Chenhua Territory, and he successfully became the fifth largest weapon refining family in Xiaguang City. .

For nearly a thousand years, the Nine Forging Zhang family has not declined at all. Various weapon refiners have emerged in an endless stream. The family's power has expanded rapidly, ushering in a golden period of development.

At its peak, the Nine Refining Zhang family was already at the top of the five major weapon-refining families, overwhelming the other four major families and almost breathless.

However, this peak began to change after Jiudian Daoist ignored the opposition of his tribe and insisted on seeking a further step in refining weapons.

At first, no one paid much attention to the news of the departure of Taoist Jiudian, nor did they think much about it. After all, as long as a great monk at the peak of Nascent Soul does not take the initiative to seek death or enter some dangerous places, he will basically not get pregnant. Possibility of death.

However, as no news came back to Jiuduan Zhang family for decades and hundreds of years, the news that Jiuduan Taoist had died in a foreign land came like snowflakes in a very short period of time. Time spread throughout Xiaguang City and even the entire Chenhua Territory.

Although at that time, the Jiuduan Zhang family did not only have one Yuanying, the Jiuduan Taoist, in charge of the family, but the reputation of the Jiuduan Taoist was deeply rooted in Xiaguang City. The news of the Jiuduan Taoist's death spread, and the Jiuduan Zhang family's situation was dire. Problems were avoided.

The most prominent one is the four major weapon-refining families that have been suppressed for a long time. When Taoist Jiuduan was alive, the four major families had to keep a low profile, but after Taoist Jiuduan disappeared, the four major families became active again.

In the following hundreds of years, the four major families jointly suppressed the Jiudian Zhang family. The situation of the Jiudian Zhang family became increasingly difficult. At the most serious time, even the replacement of Nascent Soul monks almost had problems. As a result, he almost fell out of the top five aristocratic families.

Amid such internal and external troubles, the Zhang family members targeted the direct lineage of the Zhang family, which was the main line where Taoist Jiuduan was located.

They believe that the unfair treatment that Zhang is suffering today is all caused by Taoist Jiu Duan's insistence on leaving the family despite dissuasion. If Taoist Jiu Duan had not left the family at the beginning, what happened now would not have happened.

It is strange to say that since the emergence of different voices within the Zhang family and the rumors of opposition to the direct lineage, the pressure from the outside world has become smaller, but the internal conflicts have become more and more acute.

Soon, on a dark and windy night, something happened to the Zhang family.

The process of change cannot be traced back, but the result is that the main lineage clan members who originally belonged to the orthodox lineage of Jiuduan Taoist were knocked into the dust and became a branch lineage of the Zhang family; on the other hand, the tribesmen of the branch lineage ascended to the throne of the family head in one fell swoop. Became the orthodox direct descendant of the Zhang family.

Since then, the branches have been strong and the stems weak, eventually leading to the branches being turned upside down.

It's hard to say how many dirty transactions are hidden in it, and how many sensible people are willing to be coerced into it due to various conditions. In short, everything happens so naturally.

In the days that followed, under the leadership of the new direct lineage, the Jiudian Zhang family changed their strategies and continued to cooperate with the four major families. Although they still could not resist the slow decline in rankings, they still maintained the respectability of the five major families.

At the same time, within the Zhang family, focusing on the original direct lineage seems to have become a family tradition and correct family customs.

Originally, there were still people who were wary of the reputation of Taoist Jiudian and did not dare to go too far. However, as time went by, Taoist Jiudian was gradually forgotten in the long river of time, and the lives of the old direct clan members went from bad to worse.

And that Zhang Yuanmu is a descendant of the Jiuduan Taoist lineage. Because of Zhang's deliberate suppression, no one mentions the Jiuduan branch now. They are just the weakest branch of the Zhang family, and they don't even talk to them on weekdays. The Zhang family members live together, let alone getting help from the Zhang family.

Today, the Zhang family is quite strong. There are two real Yuanying masters in the clan, one is the previous clan leader Zhang Dequan, and the other is the new Yuanying clan leader Zhang Zhibo, who has recently taken over as the clan leader.

If nothing happens to the two Nascent Souls, the old and the new, the Zhang family's status will still be stable for nearly a thousand years.

In the quiet room, Lu Ya slowly put down the jade slip in his hand, a sigh flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Zhang, if you were still alive, I'm afraid you wouldn't have imagined that the Zhang family is in such a situation today."

This is not correct. After all, Senior Zhang Jiuduan still has the remaining soul power in the Jiuduan Secret Realm. After he completes the commission from the Jiuduan Taoist, he can return to the Jiuduan Secret Realm through the jade slips.

Lu Ya has not forgotten that in the secret realm, there is a Nine-Breaking Furnace of Qiankun, which is still terrifying from today's perspective, waiting for him to get it.

However, if you want to obtain the Nine-Breaking Furnace of Heaven and Earth, the first thing you need to do is to return the inheritance to Zhang.

Lu Ya already had some general considerations in mind regarding this.

In the past half month, through his careful observation, he finally confirmed that the current Zhang family is indeed arrogant and domineering. From the clan members to the servants below, everyone has their arrogance etched on their faces. The entire Xiaguang City , 60% of the things happened were caused by the Zhang clan.

From Lu Ya's perspective, this was simply too outrageous.

You must know that the patriarch of the Zhang family is a monk at the Yuanying level, and there are more golden elixirs in the clan than can be counted on one hand. It is really unreal that he would allow his clan members to act like this.

But this kind of thing really happened, and the whole Xiaguang City was used to it, as if if you don't do this, you are not Zhang.

Therefore, Lu Ya does not intend to hand over the Nine Training Tools Technique to Zhang's direct lineage.

In contrast, Lu Ya also observed Zhang Yuanmu for a long time during this period. Perhaps this person has not been favored by Zhang since he was a child. He is used to living a hard life. His behavior is quite mature and sophisticated, even for refining weapons. He is already a second-level weapon refiner.
