Chapter 204: Zhou Family Celebration, Setting Out for the Hundred Clans Conference [Subscribe Requested]
```
Zhou Daoquan's request was in fact to seek the family's help in avenging him.
This was somewhat beyond Zhou Mingde's and Zhou Chun's expectations.
After the initial shock, Zhou Mingde also furrowed his brows and, looking at him frowning, said, "Do you know the strength of that family? Have you investigated their background?"
"The junior has looked into it. That family doesn't have any powerful background, and their strength is no greater than our Zhou Family's. They only have one cultivator in the early stages of the Purple Mansion Phase and five or six at the Foundation Establishment Stage."
When Zhou Daoquan said this, his tone was also somber, "And it's not just about venting anger. The tomb of that senior cultivator indeed contains many burial treasures, among which there is at least one Yin Ganoderma that's over a thousand years old!"
With these words, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde both let out a slight sigh of relief.
If what he was saying was true, then this was a vengeance that the Zhou Family could indeed seek.
Otherwise, if the enemy's strength was too great, even if the Zhou Family had the willingness to help him, they would have been powerless to do so.
Zhou Mingde immediately said, "All right, if it's as you say, Daoquan, then after the Hundred Clans Conference is over, I will personally help you avenge this!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Daoquan immediately bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Supreme Elder!"
The return of Zhou Daoquan added a formidable warrior to the Zhou Family's team of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And by now, the line-up of the Zhou Family partaking in the "Hundred Clans Conference" had basically been determined.
The Purple Mansion Phase team would be fought solo by Zhou Mingde.
The Foundation Establishment Stage team would be led by Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi, with three elders like Zhou Daoquan, Vice Clan Leader Zhou Chun, Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui, and Sixth Elder Zhou Jiapeng as members of the team.
The potential strength of this team was extremely high, so high that it was unmatched.
Because once Zhou Daoyi brought out his Green Flood Dragon Spirit Pet, it would be a sweeping situation.
However, revealing the Green Flood Dragon would bring many subsequent troubles, so Zhou Daoyi generally did not intend to expose it.
Stay tuned to empire
Even without considering the third-tier Green Flood Dragon, their team's strength was still very formidable.
Not only did Zhou Daoquan and Zhou Chun each possess two second-tier Spirit Pets, but the Sixth Elder Zhou Jiapeng's Iron Feather Hawk, after consuming the Purple Pattern Golden Peach, was now in a metamorphic slumber. If it could successfully evolve, it would be another second-tier combatant.
So, in the end, the line-up could potentially be five people plus five second-tier Spirit Pets!
In terms of Qi Refinement Cultivators, the Zhou Family's team was even stronger.
It included Zhou Jiacheng, Zhou Zhengyong, and other members, ten in total, all at the twelfth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm and each possessing at least one top-tier first-order Demon Beast Spirit Pet.
With such an arrangement, the Zhou Family's advantage in team battles could be tremendous.
In the most extreme case, they could even have five Spirit Pets gang up on a single opponent!
Therefore, for the intermediate and junior levels of the upcoming Hundred Clans Conference, the Zhou Family was full of confidence.
On the third month after Zhou Daoquan returned to the Zhou Family, Zhou Jiapeng's Iron Feather Hawk successfully evolved and broke through, becoming a second-tier Demon Beast, a Golden Winged Iron Feather Hawk.
During this period, there was another celebratory event for the Zhou Family.
That was when offsprings produced by the Fragrant Musk Deer and a regular wild musk deer turned out to have a male fawn awaken as a Demon Beast.
From then on, the Zhou Family had a second Fragrant Musk Deer!
The emergence of this second Fragrant Musk Deer not only further enhanced the Zhou Family's foundation but also proved that breeding a population using a male Fragrant Musk Deer and a female ordinary wild musk deer was entirely feasible.
In time, the Zhou Family will definitely have a herd of Fragrant Musk Deer.
By then, simply selling the Spirit Spice produced by the Fragrant Musk Deer would bring an astounding income to the Zhou Family continuously.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
On the eve of the "Hundred Clans Conference," Zhou Chongshan finally finished arranging the formation foundation at Longxing Valley.
He would then station himself at the family's mountain gate, joining Elder Zhou Jiahe and Elder Zhou Zhengyuan to guard the family.
The other Zhou Family elders, including the main and vice clan leaders, as well as Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, headed to Yunyue Mountain Range in Yunzhou with more than a dozen family Qi Refinement cultivators.
The venue for this "Hundred Clans Conference" was the Yunyue Mountain Range, known as the number one mountain in Yunzhou.
This time, the group of more than a dozen from the Zhou Family chose not to fly but to travel on the Octagonal Aquatic Deer, a special Mount Beast produced by the family.
This was Zhou Chun's suggestion.
Since the "Hundred Clans Conference" was a chance to showcase the Zhou Family's strength, riding such a unique Mount Beast, different from those of other families, would make the Zhou Family stand out more distinctly in people's minds.
Reputation is very important for a cultivation family like the Zhou Family.
It's alright to develop quietly on normal days, but when it's time to make a name, one must dare to do so.
In Lanzhou, it could be said that there was no one who didn't know the name of the Zhou Family.
When Zhou Family cultivators go out, just mentioning the name of the Zhou Family often grants them considerable convenience in many aspects.
Here is a simple example.
When Zhou Family cultivators are out and need to resupply or rest, except for a very few powers that are enemies of the Zhou Family, most of the cultivator outposts easily permit entry for rest and dare not harbor any bad intentions after learning they are descendants of the Zhou Family.
As for disciples of major sects like the Green Lotus Temple, it goes without saying.
During this "Hundred Clans Conference," every family in Jingguo Country with any strength to speak of will be attending, and those without the power will send representatives to watch the battles.
It is, therefore, an excellent opportunity for the Zhou Family to gain a wider recognition.
