A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 127 The Min generation? You don't have someone named Zhou Minrui in your generation, do you?

Xu Lie's clone observed the three members of the Zhou family with great interest. In fact, Xu Lie had already noticed Zhou Qi when he came to Xiajiawan to investigate a week ago.

This clone was formed by the fusion of more than ten Time Worms in order to deal with the subordinates of Kassel and Lu Mingze. Although it is a Sequence 4 gatekeeper, it is still a Sequence 4 at least.

He easily stole a bit of Zhou Qi's memory and returned it silently before Zhou Qi could react.

After exploring Zhou Qi's memories, Xu Lie's clone finally understood that it was Samson's actions that had attracted the attention of the local mixed-race families.

This left Xu Lie's clone completely puzzled.

No, Kassel traveled all the way to the Three Gorges to find Baidi City, making a huge fuss and creating a huge stir, but your local aristocratic families didn't react at all.

Why is your local ancient families reacting so strongly when the old church sends out a dragon to stroll around?
Xu Lie's clone thought that Kassel had concealed the information very well and had not been noticed.

As a result, Samson went ashore and strolled around, but the internet was also covered up by the artificial intelligence of the old church, which was also very well concealed.

As a result, the local ancient family managed to send many people to conduct on-site investigations based on rumors circulating in the streets.

If you have such a keen sense of smell and such keen perception, why didn't you discover Kassel back then?

The clone suppressed its doubts, intending to investigate further when it had time. It directly contacted Bao Lie above the Source Castle through prayer, asking him to convey to the main body how to deal with the local aristocratic families.

Its original body was still parasitizing Fenrir's body, essentially imprisoned in a luxurious prison, digesting the potion while also serving time alongside Fenrir, losing its freedom.

Fortunately, he can contact his many clones through the Source Castle, control the situation, and his attitude towards the Zhou family in Xiangyang is very simple and straightforward.

If cooperation is possible, let these ancient families work for the old church and help it expand; if cooperation is not possible, then confront them, use force to intimidate them, and further expand the church's influence.

They could even poach members from these established families and recruit more of their family members into the church.

Xu Lie himself had no good feelings towards the native mixed-race families. They let the people of Kassel come in and cause trouble without doing anything. What was there to hesitate about with such families? Just do it.

The old church now dares to rob even Kassel, so why should it be wary of a family that is not as good as Kassel?
So Xu Lie waited for the main branch members of the Zhou family in Xiangyang to come to his door, and then brought Lao Tang over to prepare to cause trouble.

Old Tang was also happy to help. Putting aside the fact that he owed two great favors to the old church and was an honorary member, he was happy to help just because of his friendship with the Huang brothers.

What's more, Constantine is still stuck in the brass can and hasn't woken up yet. All he does all day is talk in his sleep, calling out "brother, brother." Staying here is boring, so having something to do is just what Old Tang wants.

So Old Tang handed the brass can over to Samson for protection and then happily followed Xu Lie.

Zhou Minyan, who is currently the only one in charge, is feeling unwell and has begun to consider how to negotiate.

Those within the family know best. Despite Zhou Minlan's usual mischievous and playful nature, she is at least among the top twenty in the Zhou family's generation in terms of skill.

Zhou Minyan and Zhou Minlan are evenly matched. If the enemy can cripple Zhou Minlan without anyone noticing, it means they can easily kill him as well.

There was no hope for Zhou Qi. If he wanted to save his life, he had no choice but to back down. Ignoring the fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead, Zhou Minyan clasped his hands together and addressed Xia Zhenghong as "Bishop Huang, Mr. Tang".

"I am Zhou Minyan from the Zhou family of Xiangyang. This is Zhou Qi from a collateral branch of the family, and this is my younger sister, Zhou Minlan."

“My sister is ignorant and arrogant, spoiled and willful, and unruly. That’s why she has caused such a disaster. My sister and I apologize together. Please forgive us, Bishop Huang. We are very grateful.”

"Of course, I also know that words are not enough to convince people. The Zhou family possesses many precious dragon blood materials. I will have my sister go back and retrieve them to give to the Old Days Cult. I wonder if this would be acceptable as an apology?"

Circumstances dictate that Zhou Minyan had to lower her pride and speak softly, not only to save her life but also to relay information about the Old Days Cult back to her family.

To prevent the family from sending people haphazardly and causing a mishap.

While apologizing, Zhou Minyan secretly gave his cousin a look. Zhou Minlan endured the excruciating pain and realized that she was at the mercy of her cousin, so she obediently followed her cousin and bowed her head to apologize.

"Huh?" Xu Lie's clone, who was originally planning to cause trouble, paused upon hearing the generational name, his expression becoming slightly serious: "Zhou family, the Min generation?" "Then you don't have someone named Zhou Minrui in your generation, do you?"

There's already a character with the same name, Susie, in the Dragon Raja world. Who knows, there might be another one with a different name, Zhou Minrui? The clone thinks it's necessary to be cautious.

"???" Zhou Minyan never expected that the other party would ask such a question, or care about such a thing. They seemed to care only about one person and not the overall power of the Zhou family in Xiangyang.

As a member of the Zhou family, he was well aware of the generational names and his fellow clansmen.

The Zhou family of Xiangyang has a long tradition of using the generational names 'Virtuous and upright, benevolent and courteous, diligent and learned, virtuous and everlasting'. Among all the family members of the Min generation, none of them have the name Rui.

If they lie and say yes, will the other party spare their lives? If they truthfully say no, it seems the consequences will be...

Before Zhou Minyan could think any further, Xu Lie's clone, through his extraordinary abilities, had already seen through Zhou Minyan and obtained the answer: "So there wasn't one."

"!" Zhou Minyan subconsciously turned her gaze away, not daring to meet her eyes again. Was this mind-reading ability? Then why could it damage Minlan's kidneys and hand bones? Was it the power of Mr. Tang's words?
The more Zhou Minyan thought about it, the more terrified she became. She could hardly breathe. Just how many bizarre abilities and hybrids did this Old Days Cult have?

Removing internal organs and bones remotely, mind reading—this is completely unlike the typical hybrid race!

Upon learning that the Zhou family did not have a person named Zhou Minrui, Xu Lie's clone became blunt: "Your sister is impersonating someone from the past, a sin of blasphemy."

"To demonstrate the mercy of our gods, this is merely a minor punishment as a warning. As for you, just lead the way."

"Lead the way?" Zhou Minyan was finally able to breathe, and from what the other party said, it seemed that they did not intend to kill them all.

"Let's go to your family's headquarters." Xu Lie's clone, wanting to save trouble, decided to go straight for the big shot: "Just talk to your family head directly, there's no need to waste time with you juniors."

"To avoid the situation where you beat the youngest and then the older one comes along, and after beating the older one, the old one comes along."

"That's too slow, let's get it done in one go."

"..." Zhou Minyan was intimidated by Xu Lie's imposing aura and swallowed hard, feeling immense pressure.

Being looked down upon like this normally, Zhou Minyan would definitely want to fight back, but he didn't dare to in front of Xu Lie and Lao Tang.

He admitted that he was no match for them.

What if they just start preparing for battle and their heart is suddenly ripped out? What's the point of fighting then?

What exactly does this Old Ones sect want? How dare they directly invade their family's territory? Aren't they afraid of being surrounded and killed? Are they that confident?
They didn't take the Zhou family seriously?

Countless questions swirled in Zhou Minyan's mind.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Minyan lowered his head again with a face full of apology: "Bishop Huang, if Mr. Tang wishes to come as a guest, we will certainly treat him with courtesy and give him a grand reception."

"If there's some misunderstanding, we can explain it first."

"Just lead the way." Xu Lie had already pulled Old Tang out of the old temple and didn't want to waste any more time: "Regardless of whether there's a misunderstanding or not."

“After what happened today, if we don’t teach you a lesson, the Old Days Church will have to deal with your harassment and investigations. It’s better to give you a good beating once and for all so that you will realize the reality.”

Is that all the reason?
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

Are they so confident that they will definitely win?

Zhou Minyan found it hard to believe, but Xu Lie's unrestrained and arrogant demeanor made it impossible for her not to.
