When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 868 Heart-killing
Linghua Island.

"Grandfather, as you expected, Zhou Qingyun has agreed to the deal."

"No one can survive alone in this world. If you can't find any flaws in the person, you have to start from the side. Parents, teachers, loved ones and hated ones can all be used to break the situation." The old man said with a smile, "We rely on our family and can mobilize resources far beyond ordinary people. Naturally, we have to learn how to use the situation to suppress others."

"Grandson is grateful for your advice." Zhou Leng replied respectfully.

"Now that she has been subdued by intimidation, we need to show her kindness. No matter how much she asks, we will satisfy her."

Hearing this, the smile on Zhou Leng's face froze instantly, "Grandfather, since she has already given in, can we..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man interrupted him and said, "You monkey, you are so stingy when it comes to matters that concern you. You really deserve a beating."

Zhou Leng smiled and said, "My grandson has accumulated a fortune over the years, but only ten real talismans. If I lose them all this time, how will I live in the future?"

"Alright, alright, stop crying poor in front of me." The old man waved his hands and said helplessly, "Since this girl will eventually marry into my Zhou family, then let's take care of the clan's accounts."

"Thank you, ancestor!"

The reason why the old man dotes on Zhou Leng so much, besides the love of nurturing him, is also because of his extraordinary talent. He has already achieved the highest grade golden elixir in [Dust and Tribulation Floating World] and is also one of the best among the Zhou family's peers.

If he could use the [Taixu Yandao Realm] to simulate the breakthrough process a few more times and hone it in reality, he might be able to cultivate the seeds of great supernatural powers and achieve a first-grade golden elixir.

Although the Zhou family is powerful, they have not produced even one first-grade golden elixir in thousands of years. Even if the two ancestors are still famous and have benefited generations, if there is no successor in the family, it is still difficult to be called a powerful family and it will not last long.

Therefore, the Zhou family was indeed very attentive and generous in their efforts to treat their promising family members.

Especially for an old man like this, a family leader who knows his own limits will devote all his energy to his younger disciples in his later years.

Of course... there are also considerations for one's own benefit. Ever since the [Xuantong Yunlu] of [Lingshu Dharma Realm] provided the service of condensing the seeds of Tao based on past life cultivation, cultivation is no longer a matter of one lifetime, but an accumulation of three lifetimes.

Therefore, those who practice cultivation at the end of their life span will naturally look for reliable successors, teach them carefully, entrust their affairs to them, and guide them back to the path of cultivation.

For the vast majority of practitioners, whether it is the inheritance from master to disciple or the family bloodline, the main purpose lies in this.

"Ancestor is wise!" Zhou Leng naturally knew the way to use both kindness and severity, but he was unwilling to use his own wealth to show kindness.

"By the way, you need to plan your mission a little more." The old man seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "If it is done properly, maybe our people will all benefit from it."

"My grandson understands."

The reason why Zhou Leng was determined to obtain the Daqin household registration was because of this extremely rare serial tasks.

In [Dust and Disaster], Zhou Leng was randomly born in Yan State. His initial identity was just a wild gangster in the market. Later, he entered the Chuanju Mansion of the current dynasty as a retainer through his own efforts. After that, he received this serial mission that lasted for thirty years in the mansion.

For this mission, he traveled to seven countries one after another, and it took him more than ten years to find a sword in Zhao State alone.

Although the effort was great, the rewards were equally huge. Yan Chuanju's mansion had three thousand retainers, including more than a hundred Golden Core True Men, including many great cultivators of the Yin God and Yang God levels.

Zhou Leng was ranked in the top ten among the three thousand guests due to his contribution in this mission. Yan Chuanju even promised that if the mission was completed, he could introduce him to the prince.

You must know that the cultivation in [Dust Tribulation Floating World] is no different from the real world, and even more efficient than the real world due to the mission rewards and the speed of time. If you can get in touch with Prince Yan, the road to cultivation will naturally be smooth, and you may be able to cultivate to the level of a true immortal in the floating world, and then lay a solid foundation for the real world.

It is for this reason that Zhou Leng would spare no expense to purchase the Daqin household registration required for the mission.

……

"You don't need the real talisman. I see that you will achieve the Golden Elixir soon. This household registration is a gift that I prepared in advance." Zhou Qingyun said calmly, "But my Zhou family has its own ancestors to worship. We are a small family, so it is not easy to cling to the high branches of the Zhou family. Let's just forget about returning to the clan."

Zhou Qingyun's words were full of sarcasm, and Zhou Leng naturally understood it. His originally warm smile instantly turned cold, and he said grimly: "Sister, do you really have to be an enemy of my Zhou family?"

Zhou Qingyun slowly shook her head and said, "It's not that I want to be an enemy of the Zhou family, but you guys didn't leave me a way to survive."

"In the final analysis, the dispute over household registration is nothing more than an external thing, and the price can be discussed if you are dissatisfied. But just because of such trivial matters, you first bribed my relatives with benefits, and then used your power to suppress my master. Now you are using both kindness and force, how can your purpose be small?"

"You just want me to join your Zhou family and be their slave." Zhou Qingyun's voice suddenly turned cold. "I am a true disciple of the Three Immortals Island. In terms of status, I am the foundation of the sect, and most of the Zhou family are just floating duckweeds that depend on us. Now you want to turn the world upside down and make the servant the master."

"Isn't Sanxian Island your Zhou family's private sect? It's your call. You are so bold to humiliate and fabricate a true disciple like this!"

"If there is any method you have not used yet, feel free to use it. I would rather die than surrender."

Such a grand speech revealed all the hidden abscesses and the unseen weird things on the surface. Zhou Leng was so nervous that he even broke out in a cold sweat.

He even worried that there might be elders from the sect or people from the Law Enforcement Hall eavesdropping nearby.

Even though the Zhou family did not take the sect's true teachings seriously, in recent years they had used this method to force a large number of them to submit to the Zhou family.

But I also know that this matter can only be done in secret and cannot be put on the table.

Just as Zhou Qingyun said, although the Zhou family is powerful, Sanxian Island is not ruled by the Zhou family alone.

Even if they had the dark intention of taking over the family and replacing the sect with their own.

But apart from the two lineages of disciples that Zhou could influence, there was also the lineage passed down by Xu Zhi, which had always been at odds with them.

Even they knew that their two ancestors did not have such thoughts.

They simply extended their tentacles to various parts of the sect due to their instinct for family reproduction, leaving their family's mark wherever they could reach.

Such transformations are internally determined laws and cannot be changed by human will.

However, Zhou Leng was, after all, a capable young man in the Zhou family, and he quickly adjusted himself. He said calmly, "Even if Senior Sister doesn't want to go with us, there's no need to say such shocking and heartbreaking words to harm us."

"Although we are called the Zhou family, it is only because of our bloodline that we are gathered together. However, everyone in the Zhou family has their hearts set on the sect, and they have no other thoughts."

"If what Senior Sister said is true, and all families are not rebellious, does that mean we should be heartless and cut off from nature, not recognize our parents and family ties, and practice the ruthless way?"

"How can such a heartless person who doesn't recognize his own family care about the sect? "
