If they're killed outside, it's their fate. If the Su family or Zhou family pushes too hard and comes to bully us at our door, then we contact the various martial families to resist together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They should understand the principle that when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves, and when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today they can charge into our Yang family to kill people and establish authority; tomorrow they will suffer the same fate as our Yang family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've all heard. We'll do as Yang Zhao says. Our Yang family will stay out of this conflict if we can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity about my Barrier Breaking Pill. I wonder how long I'll be stuck at the late Qi Refining bottleneck before I can break through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered that with the Yang family's strength and foundation, allying with one side would be enough to exchange for a Barrier Breaking Pill to help him advance to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another side, the Chang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family Head Chang warmly received the envoy from the Zhou family, a man around thirty years of age who was already an early-stage grandmaster martial expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head Chang, regarding what was discussed before, have you given it any thought?\" The Zhou family envoy lightly savored the \"Azure Snow Cold Emerald\" tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it contained only thin spiritual energy, it was still a precious item among martial families. The Chang family only brought out small amounts when entertaining important guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family Head Chang pondered briefly, then raised his head with a smile, \"Our Chang family naturally leans more toward the Zhou family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Su family already seems like the setting sun, showing signs of approaching old age, while the Zhou family is still full of vigor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words made the Zhou family envoy quite comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So does Family Head Chang mean you'll assist our Zhou family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family Head Chang didn't answer directly, but asked in return, \"By the way, this Chang once heard from my son that among the Zhou family's guest elder pill masters, there's one who has history with the Xu clan of Qingjiang, seemingly intending to take one of them as a disciple. Does Brother Zhou know of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xu clan? I haven't heard of this. Besides, I have limited knowledge of matters concerning our Zhou family's immortal cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhou is a direct descendant of the Zhou family, and you don't know? He once gifted the Xu clan a guest elder token engraved with the character 'Zhou.' My son wouldn't have misread it. It definitely belongs to a Zhou family guest elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person from the Xu clan also said he was a pill Dao guest elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family envoy's brows furrowed slightly, and he fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he had just said was naturally an excuse. As a direct descendant of the Zhou family, although he wasn't an immortal cultivator, he knew many family matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family had once had three pill Dao guest elders. One of them had already departed to travel the world, while the others rarely left the Yuehu Market district, and he had never heard of any guest elder having a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that traveling guest elder, Daoist Sansu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather greatly admires his pill Dao. The Xu clan, Qingjiang, is that Qingjiang County? What kind of family could come from such a remote place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But from Family Head Chang's tone just now, there seemed to be a hint of wariness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, the Zhou family envoy said, \"Since the Chang family is inclined to help our Zhou family, our Zhou family won't treat you poorly. We can help one immortal cultivator break through to late Qi Refining, and we'll also gift a bottle of pills that can benefit martial grandmaster cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head Chang should know that such pills are rare even among Qi Refining families, and even if they have them, they almost never flow to martial families like yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he continued, \"Family Head Chang, you can think it over carefully. I hope the next time someone from our Zhou family comes, you can give a satisfactory answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take my leave for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Zhou family envoy left, the Family Head Chang summoned Chang Haowen and told him about the guest elder token matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xu family wouldn't deceive me. They should indeed know a pill Dao guest elder of the Zhou family. According to what Big Brother found out in the market district, the Zhou family's pill shop once had three pill Dao guest elders, and one later left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one who left was called Daoist Sansu, and he was the one with the highest pill Dao attainments among the guest elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Haowen looked at the Family Head Chang, \"Father, do you think the one who has history with the Xu family might be this Daoist Sansu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For him to gift his token to the Xu family shows their relationship is not shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll personally make a trip to Qingjiang in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\" Family Head Chang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, regarding the conflict between the Su and Zhou families, what have you decided?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stall for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the commandery city, not every family had the foundation that the Yang family and Chang family possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial families of sixth-rank and above were few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Zhou family envoy returned, thinking about the matter of Guest Elder Sansu, he went to find Zhou Sen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaocheng, what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shaocheng was one of Zhou Sen's direct grandsons. Although he lacked immortal cultivation aptitude, his status in the Zhou family wasn't low. With a grandfather who was a pill refiner, his path in martial arts had also been smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reached the grandmaster realm at thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Zhou Sen's children and grandchildren, he was considered outstanding, which was why Zhou Sen valued him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your grandson went to the Chang family and heard something. The Chang family claims that one of our Zhou family's pill master guest elders has a connection with the Xu clan of Qingjiang, intending to take one of their family's disciples as an apprentice and gifting a guest elder token.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xu clan of Qingjiang?\" Zhou Sen said with some puzzlement. \"I've never heard Ding Ming or Guest Elder Zuoqiu mention this matter. Perhaps the Chang family made a mistake, or the person who told them was lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shaocheng paused, \"But they saw our Zhou family's guest elder token with their own eyes. That shouldn't be wrong. Your grandson thinks it might be that Daoist Sansu you mentioned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Sansu?\" Zhou Sen fell silent. After a moment, he said, \"It shouldn't be. When he left back then, he was prepared to return the guest elder token. I saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, I happened to run into him in Tongshan Commandery, and he eventually went to the Imperial City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Couldn't it have been temporarily lent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not impossible either.\" Zhou Sen paused. \"Since you have these doubts, go to Qingjiang and visit the Xu clan to get to the bottom of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingjiang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shaocheng and Chang Haowen arrived in Qingjiang County territory almost at the same time, but Zhou Shaocheng was visiting for the first time. He had never had any dealings with the Xu family before and didn't know where they were located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assumed they would be in the county seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he rode his horse into the county seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Haowen, however, had specifically asked Shopkeeper Jin about the Xu family's location before coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, after Chang Haowen left, Shopkeeper Jin sent word back to the Xu family as a heads-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect that after more than ten years apart, the Xu family would still be nestled in the countryside. Could they have other intentions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Haowen didn't think that with the Xu family's current strength and foundation, they couldn't secure a place in Qingjiang County seat. Even in the commandery city, they could probably rank as a seventh-rank family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who goes there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Haowen was stopped and looked over, seeing the person wearing a uniform. It should be a Xu family guard but this should still be some distance from the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were stopping people all the way out here?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he noticed a stone stele standing by the roadside not far ahead, inscribed with the four characters \"Dongxi Xu Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Haowen immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they had incorporated all of Dongxi as family private land. No wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chang Haowen of the Chang family from Yuehu Commandery city, here to pay a visit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the commandery city?\" The patrolling guard was slightly startled upon hearing this. This was the first time someone from the commandery city had come to visit. As for the Chang family, Zhao family, or whatever, he didn't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait here for a moment. I'll have someone go in to report. Without permission from the main family, we dare not let anyone through on our own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Haowen nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a guard came running over, \"The Family Head and Second Master invite Master Chang to come and chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards immediately made way for Chang Haowen to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the front of the Xu family's main residence, Steward Zhou Ming was already waiting at the entrance. He smiled and said, \"Master Chang, the Family Head and Second Master are waiting for you in the main hall. I'll take you there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Chang Haowen observed that everything in the Xu family was orderly. Everyone looked energetic, and even the servants and maids had bright, alert eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xu family governs their household well. They already have the bearing of a great clan,\" he thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the front courtyard, they arrived at the Xu family's main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head, Second Master, Master Chang has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chang Haowen walk in, Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan immediately rose, smiling as they cupped their fists, \"Brother Haowen has come all the way from the commandery city. This truly brings honor to our humble Xu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Mingwei is too kind.\" Chang Haowen cupped his fists in return, then said to Xu Mingyuan, \"Mingyuan, it's been a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same to you, Brother Haowen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's all sit and chat,\" Xu Mingwei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the three were seated, he asked again, \"Brother Haowen, what important matter brings you from the commandery city to our Xu family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Zhou Shaocheng, having learned a few things about the Xu family in the commandery city, had also arrived at Dongxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Xu family has considerable potential. They should currently have the strength and foundation of a seventh or eighth-rank family in the commandery city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached Dongxi, he was likewise stopped at the boundary marker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Zhou Shaocheng of the Zhou family from the commandery city, here specifically to visit the Xu clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another one from the commandery city? Why didn't they come together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrol guard captain muttered a few words to himself, then greeted him with a smile, \"Young Master Zhou, please wait a moment. I'll have someone go report to the Family Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shaocheng nodded, \"Be quick about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He surveyed his surroundings, seeing the crisscrossing paths on both sides of the road, all orderly. It should all belong to one family; otherwise, with different families dividing it up, it definitely wouldn't be this neat and organized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Xu clan would rather be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail. That's also a wise choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main hall just as Chang Haowen was about to answer, a guard came in to report. He looked somewhat familiar, seemingly one of the patrol guards from the boundary marker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head, another person from the commandery city has come to visit. He says he's from the Zhou family, Zhou Shaocheng. Should we let him in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zhou family from the commandery city?\" Xu Mingwei's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Chang Haowen. Chang Haowen smiled, \"Don't look at me, Brother Mingwei. We didn't arrange this together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps he's here to see the disciple that pill refiner took on. To be honest, this Chang is also curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's why Chang Haowen came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan exchanged glances, then looked at the guard, \"Go invite Young Master Zhou Shaocheng over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Zhou Shaocheng entered the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei introduced everyone present, but when he introduced Chang Haowen, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never met Chang Haowen, but he had heard his name. The youngest son most valued by the Family Head Chang, and most likely to inherit the position in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a few days after I left the Chang family, they've arrived at the Xu family. They really do care about this family in the remote county,\" Zhou Shaocheng thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News of two people from the commandery city arriving in succession naturally reached the Jade Cold Pool as well.\u003C\u002Fp>",2300,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.416Z",1,"novelbin.me","9818a2bea546eb0d05b048f3998ee5b95992b7614c3e95d4a406b8c6346d9783","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-130","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-128",454,null]
