Chapter 2561

Of course, Xiao Hua had already left Zhong Ling Villa, so he didn't know about Zhong Tianyao's actions. Xiao Hua still thought that it was good enough that the Zhong and Qin families could divide the Fei family equally.

But how could he know that Zhong Tianyao's strategy was far beyond his imagination, and far beyond his estimation!

Since the Zhong family's strength had greatly increased, the Zhong family naturally had to strengthen their control over the Fei family and half of the Qin family. Therefore, many disciples of the Zhong family were sent out!

Zhong Haoran couldn't speak, so he was treated as a mute. But after all, he was a twelfth level qi refining disciple, and was also sent to guard a place in the Qin family. Zhong Zhan, Zhong Pei, and Qin Ji were his subordinates!

Although Zhong Haoran was disheartened emotionally, and was ridiculed by many of his fellow disciples, and even after he was sent to guard the Qin family, there were still some disciples who occasionally used his feelings for Zhong Xiuhan to mock him.

But Zhong Haoran didn't care, and instead, his heart of cultivation became more and more firm!

His mind also became clearer and clearer.

The Qin family was the same as the Fei family, both of them were weapon refiners, and they also had some cultivation methods. After being annexed by the Zhong family, these cultivation methods naturally flowed into the Zhong family!

However, the Zhong family's direct descendants and accomplished disciples didn't care about these foreign cultivation methods, so Zhong Tianyao ordered the disciples guarding the Qin and Fei family to choose the cultivation methods they liked to practice!

And the place Zhong Haoran was guarding just happened to have a cultivation method for practicing flying swords, and he even found a good quality flying sword in the Qin family!

The moment Zhong Haoran saw the flying sword and studied the sword art, he was immediately attracted by the piercingly cold Sword Qi of the flying sword. In addition, his cultivation had been stagnant for a long time, so he tried to practice the flying sword art!

Who would have thought that Zhong Haoran's character was exactly suitable for flying swords. That sharp True Qi carrying Sword Qi, under the impact of day and night, Xiao Hua's seal on Zhong Haoran's acupoints was actually loosened. The moment the Earth Crystal Yao Milk merged with his True Qi was also the moment he built his foundation. Not only did Zhong Haoran easily build his foundation, he was even able to open his mouth and speak!

At that time, how could Zhong Haoran not know that this was Xiao Hua's painstaking effort?

Previously, he hadn't complained at all, but now, he revered Xiao Hua even more. Although he hadn't reached the level where he worshipped Xiao Hua daily like Fei Yunshu did, every time he thought about it, his heart filled with gratitude.

Zhong Zhan and Zhong Pei were also disciples of the Zhong Family who started to rise after the Qin Family. Because they weren't valued in the Zhong Ling Villa in the beginning, they were very close to Zhong Haoran. After Zhong Haoran built his foundation, they paid more attention to him and gave him pointers. Although he couldn't be considered a master, he was better than a master.

As for Qin Ji, because he originally practiced flying sword, although his cultivation was not satisfactory, he had been practicing since he was a child. Sometimes, Zhong Haoran would even ask him.

When the Great War of Dao Cultivators began, the Zhong Clan of Yun City was not considered a big aristocratic family. Although Zhong Tianyao was a Golden Core cultivator, he was not worthy of the attention of those cultivation sects. Hence, they did not transfer disciples from their clan.

However, Zhong Tianyao saw the opportunity of the Great War. He knew that training disciples in the Great War could not only improve their cultivation, but also discover disciples with strategic talents. In his opinion, disciples with strategic foresight were more useful than disciples with high cultivation. After all, he took down the Qin Family and the Fei Family mostly by relying on his strategy, not by force!

Of course, Zhong Tianyao still had the same thoughts as the other disciples who didn't participate in the Great War of Dao Cultivators. Not only would there be spirit stones and sword arts, but there would also be flying swords, magic tools, and so on. It was really killing two birds with one stone!

In this regard, Zhong Tianyao was even more eager than the disciples of the cultivation sects who didn't participate in the Great War. What supported a family or a sect was not only disciples, but also cultivation techniques!

If the Zhong Clan obtained more systematic cultivation techniques in the Great War of Sword Cultivators, the Zhong Clan might be able to leave the ranks of aristocratic families and become a cultivation sect!

And wasn't his annexation of the Fei Family and the Qin Family the most crucial half step?

Therefore, Zhong Tianyao selected disciples to go to the Huan Country to participate in the Great War of Sword Cultivators!

In order to control the Fei Family and the Qin Family, while the Zhong Clan dispatched their own disciples, they also dispatched the disciples of the two families to the Huan Country. Fei Yunshu was also among them!

There were also thousands of disciples in the Zhong Ling Mountain Villa. The structure was similar to that of a cultivation sect. A dozen people formed a small team, and each team was led by a Foundation Establishment disciple. In addition, there was another disciple with a slightly lower cultivation to assist.

Zhong Haoran, Zhong Zhan, Zhong Pei, and Qin Ji were in a small team. The leader of this team was a middle stage Foundation Establishment disciple named Zhong Jingke!

Logically speaking, Zhong Haoran was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It was precisely because he complemented Zhong Jingke that they had a good rapport.

However, when Zhong Haoran saw Zhong Jingke, he was extremely embarrassed!

Why?

It was very simple. Zhong Jingke was Zhong Xiuhan's dual cultivation partner!

Ever since Zhong Xiuhan set foot in the Foundation Establishment realm, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds with the support of the Mending Heavenly Pill that repaired her meridians. She had long become a fairy in the eyes of the Zhong Clan's male Foundation Establishment cultivators. Zhong Jingke had also used countless methods to pursue Zhong Xiuhan.

This was also normal. However, Zhong Xiuhan inadvertently revealed some of Zhong Haoran's matters. Although she didn't mention Xiao Hua, her apology and gratitude towards Zhong Haoran couldn't be concealed.

If Zhong Jingke was a magnanimous person, then it would be fine. However, Zhong Jingke was quite scheming and narrow-minded. When he saw his former lover's follower whose cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, he had long been displeased with him.

As a result, the ugliness in human nature was revealed. First, he wanted to isolate Zhong Haoran. In the case of Zhong Zhan, Zhong Pei, Qin Ji, and Fei Yunshu, the four Qi Refining disciples who used flying swords, following Zhong Haoran, he also isolated these five people, dividing a team of more than ten people into two!

This wasn't all. Over the past two years since they arrived at the battlefield of the cultivation war, Zhong Jingke had constantly placed Zhong Haoran and the others in danger, making them complete nearly impossible tasks. And every time they completed a task, he would take all the credit for himself.

Every six months, the Zhong Ling Mountain Villa would send disciples to exchange information and reward and punish everyone. However, Zhong Jingke got all the credit for the team, and Zhong Haoran got none!

How could Zhong Haoran stand such a cowardly act?

Although he was an upright person with a neutral character, after practicing the flying sword, he was also influenced by the flying sword cultivation method's unbending principle. He had long been cold to Zhong Jingke. If it were not for the strict rules of the Zhong Ling Mountain Villa, where everything on the battlefield was decided by the captain, he would have returned to the Zhong Ling Mountain Villa long ago.

Zhong Jingke naturally saw Zhong Haoran's reaction and secretly rejoiced. Two months ago, when Zhong Jingke sent Zhong Haoran to intercept and kill more than ten Sword Gestation Swordsmen, Zhong Haoran completely turned hostile!

"Those are thirteen swordsmen at the sixth level of the Sword Gestation Realm!"

Zhong Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Although I'm at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, I can handle five swordsmen at the sixth level of the Sword Gestation Realm. But what about the eight swordsmen at the Sword Gestation Realm?

How can Zhong Zhan and the other three deal with them?

This is a sure-death situation!

Therefore, I immediately objected and proposed that the whole team of twenty-three disciples of the Zhong Family should attack together! "

"However, Zhong Jingke actually said that he had other arrangements for the other disciples, and that he had a more important task!

If I don't intercept and kill them, I won't listen to the Captain's orders. If I delay this matter … I'll bear the consequences! "

"Hehe, it's not right for you to go, but it's also not right for you not to go. Of course, you definitely can't go!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "If you go, you'll definitely die!

Secondly, if you come back alive, he'll ask all kinds of questions and say that it's strange that you escaped from the hands of thirteen swordsmen at the sixth level of the Sword Gestation Realm. He'll even say that you were captured by the swordsmen and became their spy! "

"At that time, I didn't think so much. I only knew that I couldn't possibly be a match for those swordsmen. If I went, I would only be throwing away my life!" Zhong Haoran honestly replied, "So I turned hostile!

I resolutely refused to go!! "

"Well, in fact, you might as well go!"

Xiao Hua said again, "After you went, you could've avoided the battle and let them make a fuss about you?

It's better than falling into their trap!

This Zhong Jingke … is just a scheming person. He's a careful person. He just wants to expel you from the Zhong Family so that Zhong Yuehan's heart won't be obstructed! "

"Unfortunately, I didn't see it clearly at that time!

It wasn't until half a month later that the Senior Brothers of Zhong Ling Village came to inspect. This guy took the opportunity to report this matter to the Senior Brothers of Law Enforcement. At once, he listed several crimes of this little one, such as not listening to orders, delaying the battle, affecting the morale, and so on. He asked the Senior Brothers of Law Enforcement to expel this little one from the Zhong Family!! "Zhong Haoran angrily said," It wasn't until that moment that this little one understood that the human heart … is sinister! "

"Hahaha, of course!" Xiao Hua pointed his finger and said, "The most sinister thing in this world is the human heart!

The most fickle thing is also the human heart!

The most unpredictable thing is still the human heart!

You've gone through so many things, and you finally understand! "

"Yes, this disciple has thought it through these days!"

Zhong Haoran said with relief, "It's not that Zhong Jingke didn't have the means to kill this little one, and it's not that he didn't have the opportunity to kill this little one, but he was extremely cautious and didn't act rashly. He has been provoking this little one for the past few years, and I'm afraid that he wanted this little one to make the first move so that he could take advantage of the situation!

When this little one didn't do as he wished, he took a step back and wanted to expel this little one from the Zhong Family! "

"Yes, or perhaps his original goal was to expel you!

So that his wife can cultivate with ease! "

Xiao Hua nodded, "After all, it's more risky for him to kill you, and it will also damage his Dao Heart, so it's not worth it!"

"The human heart!" Zhong Haoran sighed, "If it was a little purer, how good would that be?"

"Hahaha ~ Then it wouldn't be the human heart!"

Xiao Hua said, "Moreover … without this fickle and sinister human heart, where would there be the current Zhong Haoran?"

Zhong Haoran shook his head sadly, "This little one was expelled from the Zhong Family, but Zhong Zhan and the others were also implicated. This little one feels very guilty in his heart!"

"Martial Uncle Zhong!"

Fei Yunshu and the others said respectfully, "Martial Uncle's character is noble and pure, and we all admire you. Following Martial Uncle is also our choice!

What Spiritual Master said just now was extremely true. If we didn't follow Martial Uncle, I'm afraid our lives would be in danger in the war! "
