Chapter 594 The Zhou Family's Schemes
Tiannan City
The Shen family mansion.

Zhou Tianhai, a Divine Realm elder from the Zhou family of Zhongzhou, showed an expression of immense joy.

"Great! After all the hardships, this trip has finally been a success!"

"Once this plan is completed and we return to our family, we will all be great contributors to the family's legacy for generations to come!"

Zhou Tianhai, who usually prides himself on not showing his emotions, couldn't help but burst into laughter after receiving the confirmation.

It was no wonder he reacted this way.

This plan is indeed extremely important for the Zhou family!

As a result, the Zhou family is now in a bad situation in Zhongzhou and is facing powerful enemies. They have no choice but to send some of their family elites to carry out the plan!

Now they have successfully secured that spot.
With the plan seemingly on the verge of success, and even potentially able to salvage the Zhou family's declining fortunes in Zhongzhou, how could he not be excited?
"Elder, there is something you should be careful about, and that is the matter of that little beast Shen Chong!"

“A year ago, another team of the Zhou family was completely wiped out. Based on the clues left at the scene, it was most likely the work of that little beast Shen Chong!”

“That beast Shen Chong hates my Zhou family to the bone, but his strength has increased dramatically and he is no longer the weakling he once was.”

"Although this operation is almost certain to succeed, that little bastard Shen Chong might show up and cause trouble. He is a lawless person and has a blood feud with me. Before the operation begins, we still need to be as careful as possible to prevent that little bastard from causing trouble!"

The First Madam blinked and spoke up.

In fact, she wasn't interested in the Zhou family's schemes.

What the First Madam truly cares about is

She wanted to use her maternal family's power to crush those two little beasts born to those two wretched maids who were always causing trouble and disgusting her!

no way,
What were once two insignificant ants have now grown into a major threat!
Not to mention Shen Chong
Several groups of Zhou family members had already been found and slaughtered by them.

Judging from the battlefield environment afterward, that little beast Shen Chong's strength was undoubtedly at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Although I don't know how that little beast grew to this level,

But one thing the First Lady was certain of was...

That means she's in big trouble!

Having driven his own mother to her death, he had long since incurred a blood feud with the other party!
But,
That little beast's cultivation level increased rapidly, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm in a very short time.

The opponent's strength has now exceeded the limits of what I can handle!
If the Zhou family completes their mission and leaves, and fails to eliminate those two little beasts on the spot,

The First Madam could easily imagine that after her family left, her fate would definitely not be good!

Thinking of this,

The First Madam couldn't help but look at Zhou Tianhai, her eyes filled with cautious anticipation.

"Look what you've done! It's utterly stupid!"

Zhou Tianhai glared at her fiercely.
He was clearly very angry about the First Madam's behavior.

but,

He reprimanded Madam Zhou for being foolish.

It wasn't because the First Madam had a feud with the Shen family's talented young master that she inadvertently attracted two formidable enemies, making her a laughingstock to the outside world.

In Zhou Tianhai's view, regardless of the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, in a large family, illegitimate sons are nothing more than servants and slaves. Even if the mistress wants those two illegitimate sons to commit suicide, it is only natural. They can only obey and die, and are not allowed to resist.

not to mention,
What is the status of the Zhou family, and what is the status of your small Shen family?
It's utterly absurd for a country bumpkin to dare to bare his teeth like that!
Therefore, in Zhou Tianhai's view, the First Madam's attitude towards those two little beasts, Shen Chong and Shen Changchuan, was not wrong at all.

What truly enraged Zhou Tianhai was that his first wife was incredibly stupid!

They have become enemies.
However, instead of eliminating them completely, they were allowed to grow until they became a major threat to the Zhou family!

In Zhou Tianhai's view,

Since a grudge has been formed,
So, those two little bastards should have been killed outright when they were weak in the beginning.

As the eldest wife of the Shen family, dealing with two servants and illegitimate sons is all she has to do. Even if there are some rumors circulating in private, so what?

This is the clan chief's own family matter, and outsiders have no right to interfere!

not to mention,
As the legitimate daughter of the Xuan Dan Immortal Clan of Zhongzhou, even if she acts somewhat arrogantly and recklessly...
What can these country bumpkins living in cramped rural areas do?

For people of such noble blood and important status as them, it's your good fortune to be given a lash!

For the Shen family, who lived in this remote and secluded place...

Zhou Tianhai has always been arrogant and condescending, so naturally he wouldn't look for any problems in himself and others.

Also because of this,

In his view, the way the First Madam "indulged" the other party's growth was simply unimaginably foolish!
"If you hadn't been so foolish back then, how could my Zhou family have suffered such great losses?!"

Zhou Tianhai cursed at the First Madam with hatred.

in fact,

In Zhou Tianhai's eyes, those members of the Zhou family who were killed by Shen Chong were not much better than servants.

but,

No matter how,

Even if they are servants, they are still servants of the Zhou family!
If it were in Zhongzhou,
I wouldn't feel this angry even if I were killed by a hostile force.

But in this remote, mountainous region, he was killed by some country bumpkins.
That would be an unprecedented and enormous disgrace!

Just like soldiers who consider themselves elite troops, it's nothing if they are killed by the enemy's army, but if they die at the hands of a beggar in a garbage dump, they will definitely become a laughing stock!
"This is indeed my fault."

Under Zhou Tianhai's angry glare, the First Madam had no choice but to admit her mistake.

After all, the person in front of her was not only an elder at the Divine Realm, but also held considerable power within the family, and was a close relative of hers from the same lineage within the Zhou family.

Having been relegated to this southern region for many years, the First Madam has long lost the arrogance she once possessed as the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family.

However, she couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal:
"I sent men to hunt them down, but they didn't succeed."

“Those two little beasts really have some luck. Every time I send out people who are much stronger than them, they end up killing them one by one.”

"I really had no other choice."

"Hmph! Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!"

"Don't you understand how you were driven out of the Zhou family's legitimate daughters back then? You haven't learned a thing or two from your mother's lesson!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Tianhai was quite angry.

If it weren't for that illegitimate son's extraordinary rise to power, he would still be one of the most powerful elders in the Zhou family, wielding immense authority.

Why did it come to this?
These two women truly are mother and daughter!
