"Haha!You must be Zhuowen, right? I'm Zhao Xuanwu, the head of the Zhao Clan, and also Wenqian's father!The fact that Wenqian and Tongyu were able to return safely is all thanks to you, little friend Zhuowen! "Zhao Xuanwu's eyes flickered as he laughed heartily and walked towards Zhuowen with a warm smile on his face."Uncle, you flatter me!Actually, I have come here this time specifically to pay a visit to Uncle! "Zhuo Wen smiled slightly and said in a rather courteous manner."Oh?Visit me? "Zhao Xuanwu was slightly stunned. He glanced at Zhao Wenqian and Zhao Tongyu suspiciously. The two women didn't seem to have told him that Zhuowen would specifically look for him."I don't think Little Friend Zhuowen would visit me for no reason. Since you've come to look for me, please speak your mind!As long as this humble one is able to help, this humble one will do his best to help. "After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xuanwu laughed heartily.Right now, his position in the family was weak, and Zhao Youting's power was extremely great. Although he was the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, the power he could mobilize was not as great as Zhao Youting's. Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Wenqian and the others were assassinated by Zhao Youting, although Zhao Xuanwu was furious, he did not dare to do anything to Zhao Youting.Although the Zhuowen in front of him was young, being able to kill Zhao Wuji meant that Zhuowen's strength was not weaker than an ordinary Heavenly King Stage cultivator. This kind of strength was of great help to him!Moreover, what Zhao Xuanwu valued the most was Zhuowen's status as a rank two Arcana Master. To be able to become a rank two Arcana Master at the age of seventeen meant that his talent was much greater than even that of Ouyang Yatao from the City Lord's Mansion. Thus, he knew that Zhuowen definitely had an extremely powerful master behind him.He knew that if he could pull the young man in front of him to his camp, his influence in the family would most likely surpass Zhao Youting's. At that time, he would have the strength to completely eliminate Zhao Youting's greatest threat.Zhuowen casually took a seat below. Then, he shot a glance at Zhao Wenqian and Zhao Tong Yu. His eyes flickered as he said, "There are no outsiders here. So, I'll speak frankly!I wonder if Uncle has heard of the name Zhuo Mei Jin? ""Zhuo Mei Jin?How do you know this name?Huh?Your surname is Zhuo as well. Could it be that you're a descendant of Mei Jin? "Zhao Xuanwu frowned and looked at the young man in front of him curiously.Seeing Zhao Xuanwu's reaction, a trace of joy flashed in Zhuowen's eyes. It seemed like Zhao Xuanwu knew about his aunt. He hurriedly said, "Zhuo Meijin is my aunt. If Uncle knows of my aunt's whereabouts, I hope you can tell me. I will definitely thank you.""You're Mei Jin's nephew?"Zhao Xuanwu's face revealed a trace of surprise. Then, he said rather sadly, "If you want to find your aunt, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Ten years ago, your aunt had already …"At this point, Zhao Xuanwu's face suddenly became somewhat dispirited and gloomy.Frowning slightly, Zhuowen faintly felt that something was amiss. He hurriedly asked, "What happened to my aunt?What exactly happened ten years ago? ""Your aunt is no longer alive. She married into our Zhao Family ten years ago. Half a year later, there was a sudden news that she had contracted a serious illness and passed away!Originally, I had a good relationship with your aunt. Back then, when the news spread, I wanted to see her one last time. However, that fellow Zhao Youting refused to let us meet. Furthermore, he had sealed off all information regarding Mei Jin. "At this point, Zhao Xuanwu's eyes flashed with a trace of anger."Zhao Youting?The person my aunt had married back then was this Zhao Youting! "Narrowing his eyes, Zhuowen's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. Back then, Zhao Youting had suddenly come to ask for her hand in marriage. Half a year later, his aunt had suddenly died. Furthermore, all information regarding his aunt had been sealed off. All of these indicated that there was definitely a hidden story behind this.Zhao Xuanwu's eyes flickered. Finally, he nodded lightly."Back then, the one who sent people to assassinate your daughter was Zhao Youting. You should know about this as well!Why don't you bring him to justice? "Looking at the somewhat silent middle-aged man in front of him, Zhuowen frowned and said with slight displeasure.From Zhuowen's point of view, Zhao Youting was the head of the Zhao Family after all. His authority and status were unique in the Zhao Family. Furthermore, he had the advantage of reason. It was entirely possible for him to convict Zhao Youting. However, Zhao Xuanwu did not move for a long time. This caused Zhuowen to be rather puzzled and dissatisfied.Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuanwu laughed bitterly and said somewhat helplessly, "Little friend Zhuowen, there's something you don't know!In fact, my title as the head of the Zhao Family is somewhat undeserved. Although Zhao Youting is not the head of the family, his influence in the Zhao Family is extremely great. Furthermore, the elders of the family are biased towards Zhao Youting!If it weren't for Zhao Youting's fear of our ancestor, I'm afraid he would have already taken action to seize the position of the head of the family. "When Zhuowen heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. He did not expect that the head of the Zhao Family in front of him would be in such a miserable state. The family's influence and prestige were actually inferior to Zhao Youting's."How strong is Zhao Youting?Also, who are the powerful people under him? "Zhuowen knew that if he wanted to thoroughly investigate Zhuo Meijin's past, he would have to start with Zhao Youting. The only way at present was to completely overthrow Zhao Youting's influence in the Zhao Family.Zhao Xuanwu was stunned for a moment before his face revealed an expression of ecstasy. He knew that the youth in front of him wanted to kill Zhao Youting. After all, Zhuo Meijin had married into the Zhao Family because of Zhao Youting. Zhuo Meijin's death was definitely greatly related to Zhao Youting. If he wanted to know the truth of that year, he had to overthrow Zhao Youting.In Zhao Xuanwu's eyes, Zhuowen was extremely mysterious. Not only was he powerful, but he was also a Grade Two Arcana Master. The youth in front of him was undoubtedly a great help to him."Actually, Zhao Youting's influence is about the same as mine. However, it's mainly because the Great Elder of the Elders Guild favors Zhao Youting. That's why I'm in such a passive position in the Zhao Family!As long as the Great Elder is restrained, Zhao Youting won't be able to do anything at all.However, the Great Elder's cultivation is already at the peak of the Heavenly King Stage, and his strength is only below the ancestor's … "When Zhao Xuanwu said this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. After all, his strength was only at the peak of the Heavenly King Stage, which was on par with Zhao Youting. However, the Great Elder of the Zhao Family, whose strength was monstrous, favored Zhao Youting. This made him, the head of the family, rather passive."Oh!So it's only at the peak of the Heavenly King Stage. I thought you were at the peak of the Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm.Then let me deal with the Great Elder. Let's go capture Zhao Youting as soon as possible!Today, I must find out the cause of my aunt's death from him. "With a cold smile, Zhuowen's eyes flashed with a bone-chilling coldness.As soon as Zhuowen said this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became strange. Among them, Zhao Xuanwu, Zhao Tongyu, and Zhao Wenqian all looked at the youth in front of them with strange expressions. Wasn't Zhuowen's words a bit too arrogant? Did he think that he could deal with the Great Elder at the peak of the Heavenly King Stage?"Cough cough!"Little friend Zhuowen, although your strength is indeed not bad, the Great Elder is after all an existence second only to the ancestor of our Zhao Family. Are you sure you can deal with the Great Elder alone? "Zhao Xuanwu coughed dryly and couldn't help but roll his eyes. However, he felt a little helpless in his heart. This Zhuowen in front of him seemed too young and impetuous. He actually dared to challenge the Great Elder. Wasn't this courting death?"Zhuowen, although you are strong and can kill Zhao Wuji, the Great Elder is after all a peak Heavenly King Stage expert. He is one of the more famous experts in the entire Broken Rock City. He is not someone Zhao Wuji can compare to." Zhao Tongyu suddenly opened her mouth and said with a strange expression on her face.Originally, she quite admired Zhuowen, but after hearing Zhuowen's words, she shook her head and a trace of disappointment appeared on her face. Zhuowen's words made her think that Zhuowen was too arrogant."Yes!Big brother Zhuowen, don't be rash. Since Zhao Youting can be so arrogant in the Zhao Family, he naturally won't be so easy to deal with. We should first prepare a foolproof plan before dealing with him. "Zhao Wenqian gritted her teeth and said with disappointment. Obviously, her thoughts were similar to Zhao Tongyu's.Looking at the opposition of the three people in front of him, Zhuowen shook his head and said, "There's no need. As long as it's not an Ultimate Emperor Stage expert, I think I can deal with it."Zhao Xuanwu was a little angry at Zhuowen's stubbornness. After all, it was too risky to have a showdown with Zhao Youting now. If Zhuowen couldn't restrain the Great Elder, his position as the Zhao Family's Patriarch would probably come to an end. The consequence would be that his faction might be wiped out by Zhao Youting forever. He wasn't willing to use his family's life to accompany this crazy brat in front of him."You don't believe me?"Glancing at the somewhat angry Zhao Xuanwu, Zhuowen snorted faintly and patted his Qiankun bag. A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the hall.This figure was nine feet tall, with black armor on its body. Its face was as resolute as iron, but its somewhat dull eyes didn't have the slightest bit of vitality. This figure was Zhuowen's Reverse Spirit Puppet.Boom!As soon as the Reverse Spirit Puppet appeared, a powerful aura burst out like a mountain. It actually formed countless spiral-shaped waves of air in the hall, swirling in all directions."The aura of a perfected Heavenly King Stage expert?"Feeling the powerful aura that suddenly burst out from the Reverse Spirit Puppet, Zhao Xuanwu's pupils suddenly shrank. His entire body trembled, and his lips trembled as he muttered.Although Zhao Xuanwu's voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by Zhao Tongyu and Zhao Wenqian, who were not far away from the hall. The two girls' cherry lips suddenly opened slightly, and their jade-like hands covered their mouths. They looked at the Reverse Spirit Puppet that suddenly appeared beside Zhuowen in disbelief. They didn't expect that Zhuowen actually had a perfected Heavenly King Stage expert by his side.
"Haha!
You must be Zhuowen, right? I'm Zhao Xuanwu, the head of the Zhao Clan, and also Wenqian's father!
The fact that Wenqian and Tongyu were able to return safely is all thanks to you, little friend Zhuowen! "
Zhao Xuanwu's eyes flickered as he laughed heartily and walked towards Zhuowen with a warm smile on his face.
"Uncle, you flatter me!

"Oh?
Visit me? "
Zhao Xuanwu was slightly stunned. He glanced at Zhao Wenqian and Zhao Tongyu suspiciously. The two women didn't seem to have told him that Zhuowen would specifically look for him.
"I don't think Little Friend Zhuowen would visit me for no reason. Since you've come to look for me, please speak your mind!
