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

Chapter 873 Five Surnames and Seven Families
For this mission, Zhou Qingyun naturally didn't need to work as hard as other teams. She only needed to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of Zhou Leng and his group, and she would be able to follow the map to find Fan Yuqi who was hiding there.

Even if Fan Yuqi was really hiding in the waters she was responsible for, Zhou Qingyun would not reveal it in advance.

Even though he was seriously injured, he was still a true immortal soul, and a military soul that was most adept at warfare.

She is not like those brainwashed Iron Eagle Swordsmen who are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight for some stupid merit.

Everything must be based on your own safety.

The three-year death penalty was only one of the reasons. Zhou Qingyun did not want to develop the habit of ignoring risks. Many people felt that [Dust Tribulation Floating World] was just a game. If they died, they would die. As long as they were not so reckless in reality, it would be fine.

Unfortunately, after staying in the game for too long, it is not easy to correct such habits in reality.

There are countless people who inadvertently brought the nature they developed in this world into the real world, thus ending up with their bodies destroyed and their souls scattered.

Besides, Zhou Qingyun's main purpose was to ambush and kill Zhou Leng. What would he do if something happened to the master here and he escaped?

Therefore, Zhou Qingyun took his men and slacked off while waiting for Zhou Leng to come to them, and never explored those whirlpools and dark swamps that looked very dangerous.

Ten days passed in a flash, and Zhou Leng and his party finally arrived at Dahongze.

“It really is the place where three rivers meet and eight waters gather, where the sky and water merge into one, and it is as vast and boundless as a real ocean.” Zhou Leng stood on the cliff, watching the lake water lapping by, and his panicked mood along the way actually calmed down again.

"That's why General Fan has been able to avoid the pursuit of the Black Ice Platform and hide until now." Lin Lin sighed, "But although the swamp is big, there are also many black dogs. If they make any noise, it will definitely attract attention. Brother, have you thought about how to contact General Fan?"

It was just as Zhou Qingyun thought. Zhou Leng had received a secret order from Chuan Sui Mansion to contact Bei Yan Xue Ling of Qin State. However, judging from the tight net laid by the Black Ice Platform, he would be captured on the spot if he showed any trace.

Zhou Leng is naturally not such a brainless person, so he has not taken any action yet.

He looked down at the lake in front of him and said in a deep voice, "The Black Ice Platform has formed a network from east to west, south to north, and is shrinking towards the center. General Fan must be in the encirclement as well."

"If we want to rescue him quietly without being discovered, the key lies in how to break this trap!"

"This matter still needs careful planning. We will discuss it when we return."

Although this is the border of Dahongze and has probably been licked by black dogs, we cannot take it lightly.

If you are unlucky enough to be caught by the black dog, you will be dead.

Because the time of coming and going was very short, even Zhou Qingyun did not react. If the rescue method Zhou Leng needed only to pause for a moment at the edge of the tributary, it would be a real miscalculation.

Fortunately, Zhou Qingyun found that Zhou Leng and others did not take the opportunity to leave and still stayed in the town, so she felt relieved.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Qingyun quickly deployed surveillance puppets to prevent any further accidents.

Ever since the trip to Tai'a World, Zhou Qingyun has developed a great interest in the Mohist puppetry. The quest reward for [Dust and Disaster in the Floating World] is made from the Dao Fruit of the Great Master, and contains a lot of inspiration about the puppetry.

Although Zhou Qingyun's puppetry skills have not yet reached the Grandmaster level, they are not far behind and have already entered the realm of mastery. It is not a problem to monitor several Jindan Zhenren. But Zhou Leng has been thinking about it for a long time and can't think of any good solution, so several children from aristocratic families still chose the most reliable and most commonly used method... to find the parents!

Although the Zhou family is still in the midst of the turmoil caused by Zhou Qingyun's counterattack, it has undoubtedly calmed down a lot compared to before. At least no one is openly talking about this hot topic from a few months ago.

Therefore, when Zhou Ou heard that Zhou Leng's mission was actually related to the defection of a soul and that after completion he could directly reach Prince Dan of Yan, he began to take it seriously again.

Since the development of [Dust Tribulation Floating World], no one from the Zhou family has been able to hold power in the upper echelons. However, many aristocratic families that are as famous as the Zhou family have already established a solid foundation, and the profits they gain from [Dust Tribulation Floating World] every year are simply enviable.

If this mission is completed and they can really get through to the emperor and establish a relationship with Prince Dan of Yan, the Zhou family can use this as a foundation to establish a business in Yan.

Instead of being scattered across the seven countries like they are now, and not being able to form a single force.

Therefore, after Zhou Ou brought the matter to the Zhou family's regular meeting, it quickly gained the support of the majority. In today's era, the present foundation and the [worldly calamity] are almost like a person's legs. It is difficult to walk without either one.

Now that we have the opportunity to make up for the Zhou family's shortcomings, we must do it and do it well.

As a result, the entire Zhou family's influence in the world began to work on this matter. Not only that, they also dragged the Wanfa Lin family and Qinghe Cui family into it.

These two families are different from the Zhou family. They are both large families with people practicing together for thousands of generations. The former is okay, and its influence is limited to the Wanfa Sect and the East China Sea. The latter is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, and is one of the largest families in the world of earthly immortals.

Its former reputation was second only to the most powerful families among the Five Emperors.

If we say that the Five Emperors' families are descended from the Five-Colored Divine Court that ruled over the heavens and all worlds in the past, they are the most noble and are the true descendants of the Emperor of Heaven.

The Five Surnames and Seven Families arose in the Immortal Dynasty, when the heavens and humans were governed by each other. The Jade Emperor ruled the heavens, while the earthly world was governed by the Immortal Dynasty. This era lasted for six dynasties, namely Tianxia, ​​Tianshang, Tianzhou, Xianqin, Xianhan, and Xiantang.

The royal surnames changed continuously throughout the Six Dynasties, but the Five Surnames and Seven Clans have continued to this day. Among them, the one with the shallowest foundation has also experienced the two immortal dynasties of Xianhan and Xiantang.

During the Immortal Dynasty, the influence of these aristocratic families was even greater than that of the Five Emperors.

Even after the pseudo-unified immortal dynasty of Xian Tang collapsed and the earthly immortal world re-entered an era of tens of thousands of sects, the Five Surnames and Seven Families and the hundreds of noble families headed by them still retained extremely strong strength.

An important reason why such aristocratic family has been able to be passed down to this day is that they do not compete for the top spot and always adhere to the doctrine of the mean.

Therefore, the Change of the Five Emperors directed by the three religions also failed to affect these aristocratic families. When Tang Yuan entered the Central Plains and suppressed the aristocratic families in the southeast, they were aware of the times and opened their doors to accept the invasion of Duobao Pavilion, Sanshan Talismans and Sanxian Island elixirs.

This made Tang Yuan, who wanted to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble, unable to find an angle.

Later, in [Lingshu Dharma Realm] and [Dust and Disaster World], various families also actively participated. Although they did not compete with Taoism, they formed alliances with each other and also gained a lot of benefits.

Therefore, after the Qinghe Cui family intervened, it was natural for more aristocratic families to be connected.

The Cui family of Boling, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Xiao family of Lanling...all the noble families whose foundations were established in the six kingdoms, participated in it. They actually planned to use Fan Yuqi as a breakthrough point to start the war of the six kingdoms to besiege Qin!
