The words of this Family Head were supported by most people present, as most believed Helian Tiehua was discouraging himself while boosting others' morale.
Helian Tiehua glanced at that Family Head, then looked at everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "I am not exaggerating in the slightest about this; this is sothing personally recorded by the Old Helmsman. Moreover, Shijia is more aware of this matter than we are, because a hundred years ago, when these foreigners attacked the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance in force, Shijia ca to help us resist them. That ti, Shijia almost lost his life!"
Once these words were spoken, a burst of astonishnt erupted at the scene, and everyone's expression beca frozen.
Everyone present knew very well who Shijia was. The one reputed to have lived two or three hundred years, the highest master of the Buddhist Sect, playing in the human realm, resembling a Demi Immortal. He was a person everyone had to look up to when they t him. And he had participated in the battle between the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance and those foreigners a century ago, almost losing his life, which completely demonstrated the strength of those foreigners. Helian Tiehua really wasn't exaggerating at all!
"According to your plan, wouldn't it an everyone could enter the Great Tomb except those foreigners?" Bai Wenhao suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Helian Tiehua nodded.
"In that case..." Bai Wenhao scratched his head, and said, "Wouldn't we lose control over the Sun Shooting Bow?"
"Missing control of the Sun Shooting Bow this ti, it doesn't matter!" Helian Tiehua said, "After the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates open, the Sun Shooting Bow will eventually co back and continue to be sealed. As long as our Great Tomb remains, the Sun Shooting Bow will ultimately be the property of our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance—no one can take it away."
Listening to Helian Tiehua's words, the crowd discussed quietly for a long ti but could not co to a conclusion. Just then, suddenly sounds of thunder ca from Dragon Burial Mountain, shocking people's hearts!
The crowd turned their heads and saw that, at so unknown ti, dark clouds had gathered at the summit of Dragon Burial Mountain, obscuring the moon. Within the dark clouds, there was lightning and thunder, and violent winds were sweeping through everything between Heaven and Earth. That Dragon Burial Mountain seed like it was in the midst of doomsday, giving people a terrifying feeling.
"Sun Shooting Bow!" A brilliant light flashed in Helian Tiehua's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It finally appeared!"
Among those present, so had experienced the scene last ti the Sun Shooting Bow appeared. So, seeing this mont, they were all equally dumbfounded, shocked by the wild power of nature.
"Is this... is this the sign of the Sun Shooting Bow's appearance?" Bai Wenhao's voice was trembling. He had heard that signs would appear before the Sun Shooting Bow erged, but he hadn't imagined that these signs would be so awe-inspiring!
"Sun Shooting Bow! Sun Shooting Bow indeed!"
Everyone present was amazed; it took them quite a while to recover and turn to look at their respective Family Heads. The Sun Shooting Bow had appeared, and they must head up the mountain. Yet, at this mont, none of them had co up with a definitive plan!
"What do you all think?" Helian Tiehua asked in a deep voice.
A few Family Heads exchanged glances, remained silent for a long ti, and one of them said in a deep voice, "Alright, General Helian, you keep all Peak Masters and foreigners outside, and we'll go in to seize it. All mbers of the Seven Families listen up: this ti, even if it costs us our lives, we must get the Sun Shooting Bow. It definitely must not fall into the hands of outsiders, do you understand?"
"Yes!" The crowd present responded in unison, and everyone's emotion inexplicably beca fervent. Seeing the phenonon of the Sun Shooting Bow's appearance, their moods had long since been excited beyond control, eager to personally seize that Sun Shooting Bow and beco an Invincible Under the Heavens Peak Master!
With everyone's support, Helian Tiehua didn't hesitate in the slightest and imdiately declared, "In that case, let everyone go back and gather your people right now. In ten minutes, head up Dragon Burial Mountain!"
The crowd quickly dispersed to arrange their personnel.
On Huangfu Ziyu's side, she had already seen the phenonon on the mountain, so she had long since brought her brother and sister to the outside of the main building. As for Ye Qing, she had him tied with a rope and carried on her back; she listened to Chen San's idea, so this ti when going up the mountain, she would also bring Ye Qing.
The Zhou Chengtian brothers were actually planning secretly, taking advantage of this opportunity when everyone went up the mountain, to have their household subordinates kill Ye Qing. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Ziyu also brought Ye Qing over, which left the brothers sowhat astonished.
"Huangfu Ziyu, what are you doing?" Zhou Chengtian saw Huangfu Ziyu carrying Ye Qing, and an unnaable rage ignited in his heart, angrily saying, "Going up Dragon Burial Mountain for serious business, and you're carrying a cripple? What's this, afraid others don't know he's crippled and need to carry him out for publicity?"
Zhou Chengtian's words imdiately drew a burst of laughter from those around; most were making Ye Qing the butt of a joke because they already knew about Ye Qing's broken ridians.
Huangfu Ziyu shot a cold glare at Zhou Chengtian but didn't respond, nor did she pay him any attention. In truth, she wished she could personally kill Zhou Chengtian. However, she was well aware that she couldn't kill him. Making a move here would only invite retaliation from these people. They might not be able to kill her, but if they targeted Ye Qing, it would be trouble. So, she pretended not to hear anything.
Seeing that Huangfu Ziyu remained silent, Zhou Chengtian beca even more brazen. He walked over to Huangfu Ziyu, sized up Ye Qing, and said, "Hey, is this man of yours dead or sothing? He can't even lift his head, what's the difference between him and a corpse? Are you carrying him around to just toss him into a grand tomb up the mountain and bury him? Oh, right, that's convenient too, no need to dig a pit, perfect for burying soone, hahaha..."
Standing next to Huangfu Ziyu, Huangfu Zilong listened to Zhou Chengtian's words and couldn't help but get so angry that smoke almost ca out of his ears. He retorted, "Zhou Chengtian, do you even know how to talk? Did you forget to brush your teeth this morning? Why is your mouth so foul?"
"You little punk, who are you talking about!" Zhou Chengtian exploded with anger, pointing at Huangfu Zilong, he said, "Kid, don't think that just because Huangfu Ziyu is protecting you, I won't touch you. Let tell you, this bitch Huangfu Ziyu isn't worth my ti. When I lifted her up, you were sothing next to . But when I don't want her, you're not even worth a fart to , got it?"
"You're the one who's not worth a fart!" Huangfu Zilong shouted back angrily, "Zhou Chengtian, it's my sister who doesn't fancy you. What right do you have to say such things in front of her? Hanging around outside my house shalessly all day, has my sister ever looked at you twice? Aren't you embarrassed?"
The surrounding crowd burst into laughter upon hearing Huangfu Zilong's words, most of them mocking Zhou Chengtian.
Listening to the mockery, Zhou Chengtian's face turned entirely red with embarrassnt, and he pointed angrily at Huangfu Zilong, "Say that again, if you dare!"
"Say it again? I dare say it ten tis, what can you do to ?" Huangfu Zilong took a step forward, directly standing in front of Zhou Chengtian, and shouted loudly, "Useless, what can you do to ?"
"I'll beat you to death!" Zhou Chengtian raised his hand to strike, but as soon as his hand was halfway, Chen San, who had been standing by, punched over, blocking Zhou Chengtian's hand.
"Zhou Chengtian, are you courting death?" Chen San glared at Zhou Chengtian and said in a deep voice.
"Chen San, even you dare to ddle in my affairs!" Zhou Chengtian was furious, shouting, "What? Are your two families planning to join forces and bully our Zhou Family? Do you think my Zhou Family has no people?"
As Zhou Chengtian shouted, people from the Zhou Family also stepped out, standing behind him, dozens of them, their montum indeed overwhelming the Huangfu and Chen households in numbers.
Facing so many people from the Zhou Family, Chen San remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Chengtian, I'm not ddling in your business, but listen carefully. Huangfu Zilong is one of the people left here by the Huangfu Household to open the great tomb. If anything happens to him and the great tomb can't be opened tonight, even killing you would not be enough to pay for it, understand?"
Chen San's words made Zhou Chengtian fall silent, shivering involuntarily. As Chen San said, Huangfu Zilong was indeed one of the key characters in opening the great tomb. If sothing happened to him, the great tomb would not be able to be opened. In fact, the Seven Families' most crucial duty here was to protect those fourteen key figures for opening the tomb. It's not just Zhou Chengtian; even the heads of the Seven Families wouldn't dare to touch these fourteen people at this critical ti!
The Zhou Family mbers also gradually moved back a little, fully aware that they couldn't touch a single hair of Huangfu Zilong at this mont.
"Huangfu Zilong, consider yourself lucky!" Zhou Chengtian gritted his teeth and said, "After tonight, let's see if you can still have such a tough attitude!"
"Tough in what way?" At this mont, a voice ca from upstairs. It was Helian Tiehua, bringing down the main mbers of the Seven Families.
"Oh, oh." Before Zhou Chengtian could speak, Huangfu Zilong suddenly grabbed his stomach, fell to the ground, and rolled around moaning in pain.
"What's happening?"
"What's wrong with him?"
The surrounding crowd was startled, and the people who just ca downstairs were also confused, not knowing what had happened to Huangfu Zilong.
"Zilong! Zilong!" Huangfu Ziyu was also taken aback and rushed to help Huangfu Zilong up. As she bent down, Huangfu Zilong turned towards her and winked, signaling her, making Huangfu Ziyu realize he might be pretending.
Helian Tiehua, leading the others, hurried over. Seeing Huangfu Zilong in this state, Helian Tiehua urgently asked, "What happened to him? What's going on?"
"I don't know..." Huangfu Ziyu paused slightly, glanced at the side where Zhou Junhan stood, and said in a low voice, "Just now... just now, he was scolded a few tis by Zhou Junhan, and... and he suddenly beca like this..."
