Looking at the child in front of me, who is eight or nine years old, falling in the muddy ground after the rain, although I reached out in time to grab his collar, I still got splashed with mud.
"Should I have pulled you or not? I couldn't bear to see you fall, after all, you are just a child of eight or nine years old. But pulling you also splashed me with mud, it's really annoying."
The girl seemed hesitant in her speech, her brows slightly furrowed in apparent conflict and distress.
Zhu Yun Although she was displeased that her robe had been dirtied, she ultimately didn't say anything more.
She sighed softly and then performed a cleaning spell. As her spiritual power flowed through her hands, a gentle light enveloped her and Zhou Mo, causing the mud and stains to quickly dissipate under its effect, restoring their clothes to cleanliness.
With her left hand, she gently lifted the boy, using a Zhu Yun with a smooth and steady motion to ensure Zhou Mo felt no discomfort. Then she lowered her head to glance at Zhou Chulin's body, her eyes revealing a hint of sympathy and respect.
Zhu Yun silently invoked its spatial storage, a magical space capable of storing items and keeping them intact. Guided by its spiritual power, Zhou Chulin's body was enveloped in a faint light, slowly lifted, and then stored within the space.
Zhu Yun moved gently and respectfully, showing reverence for the deceased.
After completing all these actions, Zhu Yun broke through the spatial barrier and tore open the void, preparing to leave.
Her movements were skilled and swift, showing her profound cultivation and mastery of spatial laws. Space in front of her was like a piece of paper that could be torn at will, and her figure flashed in the void, leaving only ripples of space fluctuations.
And just as Zhu Yun was about to leave, suddenly hundreds of people appeared in the sky in this place in less than half a cup of tea's time.
Looking closely, most of the people who came here were elders from various major families in the Jin Imperial City and the top figures in the sects. They either flew on their swords or came with the wind, all with a solemn expression, their eyes flashing with a desire and curiosity for the strong.
"Isn't this Elder San from the the Xiao Family? Are you also here to witness the natural phenomenon and see which master is crossing the tribulation?"
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe, with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his beard, took a few steps forward and calmly spoke to the other man in front of him. There was a hint of inquiry in his tone, as if he wanted to learn more from the other party.
The man facing him also replied without hesitation: "Yes, I observed extraordinary signs in the imperial city, indicating that master was undergoing a torpedo tribulation here. However, the thunderclouds were quite dense at the time, so I couldn't come immediately. I had to wait for them to disperse before visiting master. I never expected that we would arrive a step too late."
At this point, the man sighed with regret, his eyes revealing his disappointment at not being able to witness master's magnificence.
The man in the yellow robe across also said politely, "Yes, after all, neither of us had the fortune to encounter master. It's a pity. Such a grand torpedo phenomenon is probably only seen by the top masters of the world." His words carried a hint of envy, clearly showing deep respect for the master who was crossing the tribulation.
More and more people came to this place, all of them acquaintances, looking at each other and lamenting that they had not had the chance to meet master. They exchanged views and discussed possible situations, but ultimately had to admit that they had missed a rare opportunity.
As soon as master left, the crowd exchanged a few words and then hurriedly dispersed, each returning to their own family or sect, preparing to report the situation. Among the frequent arrivals, an old man in a deep robe with white hair and a waist token inscribed with the character "Zhou" suddenly appeared, and his waist token flashed brightly.
This token is a unique communication tool of the Zhou family, capable of issuing a warning when a family member encounters an accident.
Noticing the token around his waist flashing, the old man quickly covered it with his robe, the action fleeting, and no one around him noticed. A glint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he was already calculating in his heart.
The flashing token indicates that the Zhou family members have fallen here. It seems that I need to go back and investigate. Maybe I can find some information about this master.
With thoughts surging in his mind, he made up his mind. The old man politely greeted the familiar elders around him one by one, then bid farewell and returned to the Zhou family in the imperial city.
the Jin Imperial City Zhou Family.
Inside the Zhou family mansion, Old man in a deep robe as soon as he returned to the family, he immediately summoned the senior members of the family and issued orders with a solemn expression.
"Go, quickly go and find out for me who is carrying out tasks near the Imperial City today. Bring me anyone who is registered for a viewing." His voice revealed an unquestionable authority, making everyone present feel a sense of urgency.
"Four Elders, didn't you say that a master was transcending the heavenly tribulation near the Imperial City? How come you've returned so quickly?" Zhou Yuan looked at the old man in disbelief and asked.
Zhou Yuan is the younger generation of the Zhou family, always full of curiosity about the strange things in the outside world.
Old man in a deep robe Leaning on a cane, with a meaningful look in his eyes, he glanced back at Zhou Yuan and said indifferently, "The crossing of the heavenly tribulation is not something you and I can witness. It is our honor to encounter it, and as for him not encountering it, it can be considered as our lack of fate."
His words reveal a kind of indifferent acceptance of fate, as well as a kind of awe towards the strong.
"But..."
Zhou Yuan still wanted to ask something, but the old man in a deep robe gestured for him not to ask anymore. Zhou Yuan had to suppress his doubts and refrain from asking further. He knew that the elders in the family always had their reasons for doing things, and as a junior member, he should comply.
"Starting today, hundreds of Zhou family descendants will follow the order and immediately begin searching for the Zhou family disciples who were carrying out tasks outside the imperial city today. Anyone who finds the body or any trace of them will be generously rewarded."
Old man in a deep robe spoke again, his voice echoing through the hall, each word sounding resolute and powerful.
As soon as he spoke, the area outside the imperial city was filled with figures from the Zhou family. Some were flying on their swords, while others were urging their beasts forward, each person making their greatest effort to search for clues.
The actions of the Zhou family undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the imperial city.
Seeing the Zhou family act so openly, other prominent families and sects in the imperial city also stopped hiding and began openly sending out their own people to search for news of the peerless master.
If you can be friends with such a master, it will undoubtedly be a huge help for the future development of the family.
For a while, inside and outside the imperial city, there was a lot of activity, and various forces were secretly competing, trying to gain an advantage in this search.
Behind the stir to find wind and waves, Old man in a deep robe has his own plans.
The appearance of master is not accidental, and the flashing of the Zhou family token also indicates that someone in the family may have fallen.
He needs to find out the truth, to find the cause of the family's loss. We can only hope that master is not an enemy of our Zhou family, and also prevent the coveting of other forces.
Deep in the Zhou family's mansion, Old man in a deep robe sits alone in the study, playing with the token in his hand, his eyes shining with contemplation.
This storm will probably turn the imperial city into the center of conflict again. It seems that he needs to plan early for the Zhou family.
As the night deepens, the lights in the study are still bright, reflecting the old man's firm and profound gaze.
