Lin Hongyu left the Zhou family soon.

Judging from her expression when she left, she was obviously quite satisfied.

However, after Lin Hongyu left, the two Zhou family leaders sat in the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain with gloomy faces and did not move for a long time.

After sitting quietly like this for a long time, Zhou Daoyi sighed with a heavy face: "We shouldn't agree to her!"

"This is seeking skin from a tiger!"

"As long as this matter is leaked, our Zhou family will be destroyed!"

After saying this, Zhou Mingde on the opposite side sighed softly: "Of course these old men know, but the situation is beyond our control!"

"If we don't agree to her, whether she makes a big fuss inside the mountain gate or announces that you obtained the green dragon inner elixir and had an affair with you, the trouble our Zhou family will encounter will not be the same.

How could she be any younger than she promised!"

When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he was immediately speechless and unable to refute.

He had seen Lin Hongyu's strength with his own eyes. When Lin Hongyu exploded with secret skills, even the late-stage Zifu monks of Qinglian Temple had to avoid her edge. Her strength was definitely not comparable to that of Zhou Mingde.

And since he dared to come to Zhou's house alone this time, he must have been well prepared before he dared to come.

If a big commotion breaks out in the Zhou family, even if the Zhou family can use the power of the mountain guarding formation to suppress her, no one knows how many clan members will die!

The consequences are no different from destroying a family and genocide.

But thinking of Lin Hongyu's previous conditions, Zhou Daoyi's eyelids twitched again, and he couldn't help but say: "But if you really follow what she said and recruit mortals and casual cultivators with spiritual root qualifications for her, you will be the real enemy.

Based on this alone, once the matter is leaked, we will never be able to clean it up!"

"Why don't I know this?"

Zhou Mingde raised his eyebrows and said in a helpless tone: "But for the current plan, we can only hold on to Xian Xu and Wei Snake!"

At this point, his eyes flashed, and he said again: "Besides, it depends on how you define enemy support. If we can find some breakthroughs from Hualong Sect afterwards and find a way to make them lose a big wave, then this is not

To capitalize on the enemy, if you want to take it, you must give it first!"

After that, he concluded: "In short, try to drag it as much as possible first. After dragging your azure cloud python into a dragon, we will have the confidence to fall out, and then find a way to solve this trouble once and for all!"

But when Zhou Daoyi listened to his method, he always felt that it was too risky.

With the strength of the Zhou family, if they do this kind of tightrope thing alone, if there is even the slightest mistake, the family will be destroyed!

So he said again: "How about we confess to Qinglian Temple? Tell the senior officials of Qinglian Temple about this through Taoist Mingxia and see what they plan to do!"

"If they ask about the green dragon inner elixir, let's just say it has been used. They can't just beat and kill our Zhou family for this!"

However, when Zhou Mingde heard what he said, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "It won't work. Let's not mention that Qinglian Temple must have a way to verify the authenticity of what we said, that is, they really can not pursue the matter of Qingjiao inner elixir.

If we bring this clue to our door, we are putting the lives of the entire clan in human hands!"

"Don't forget, the reason why our Zhou family is helping Qinglian Guan now is because the family is within their sphere of influence and has to do so, not because the family has any connection with Qinglian Guan or with Hualong Sect.

Deep hatred!"

"To be serious, Qinglian Temple is the culprit for our Zhou family's current situation!"

These words made Zhou Daoyi silent.

Indeed, for the Zhou family, Qinglian Temple is not a good bird either.

It was Qinglian Guan who dismantled Sanjue Sect in the first place, and in order for Qinglian Guan to take in foreign monks like them, nearly half of the sect savings brought by Sanjue Sect were forced to be given to Qinglian Guan as "travel expenses"

.

With this layer of estrangement, taking the initiative to hand over the handle to Qinglian Temple at this time is really putting life and death in someone else's hands!

Unless he can bear to part with the green dragon inner elixir and offer this thing as well!

But I thought about the "sacrifice" I had made to obtain the Green Dragon Inner Pill, and the importance of this thing to myself and the Zhou family.

Zhou Daoyi quickly dismissed this idea.

That's absolutely impossible!

"Okay, don't think too much about it. Although this matter will have great consequences, as long as we and Lin Hongyu are more careful, it may not be exposed, and the benefits will not be small!"

"The Hualong Sect has opened up such a large area on the Longyuan Ze where monsters are rampant, and it must have a lot of rare treasures. If we can get some of the things our Zhou family urgently needs through the transaction with Lin Hongyu,

, which is also very obvious for the strength of the family!"

"As the saying goes, it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. As long as our Zhou family grows in strength and has the capital to make another move, it won't be a bad idea to completely surrender to the Hualong Sect or go elsewhere!

"

When Zhou Mingde said this, he waved his hand and said: "In short, things have reached this point now. Any choice may bring down our Zhou family, so we naturally have to choose the one that can help the family develop faster!"

There is no free benefit in the world!

Since Zhou Daoyi was able to obtain the inner elixir of the green dragon at a profit, but failed to silence him in time, he was destined to pay the price for it.

Zhou Mingde saw this very clearly.

Therefore, he knew better than Zhou Daoyi, an insider, that since the Zhou family was reluctant to part with the benefits, they would definitely have to bear the risks it brought.

What's more, seeking skin from a tiger is dangerous, but the rewards are also great.

Just like when he led his people to rebuild the Zhou family at the risk of breaking up with Yu Jinghua and dying, it was also a big adventure, but the rewards after success were just as great.

Therefore, when faced with having to make risky choices, he dares to take risky actions!

After all his persuasion, Zhou Daoyi no longer mentioned the matter of informing Qinglian Temple.

The two quickly started discussing how to conduct transactions with Lin Hongyu safely and covertly.

However, after the two discussed for a while, Zhou Daoyi suddenly said: "Now it is Zhengchun who is handling the family affairs. If we want to use the power of the family to do this, it is impossible to hide it from him, so we might as well call him over for discussion!

"

"this……"

Zhou Mingde hesitated and looked thoughtful, but did not agree immediately.

Zhou Daoyi understood that he was worried that if one more person knew about it, there would be more risks of leaking the secret.

But he still said seriously: "If you can't trust him, then how can you, Supreme Elder, trust him to take over the position of clan leader in the future? What's more, he has already known about the fact that the inner elixir of the green dragon is in my hands."

"Okay, then I'll go to the Zhongping Hall to discuss things together."

Zhou Mingde nodded and agreed to what he said.

So the two of them immediately went to the Zhongping Hall and discussed the matter with Zhou Chun.

Of course, in order to save Zhou Daoyi's face, neither of them mentioned the romantic affair between Zhou Daoyi and Lin Hongyu. Instead, Lin Hongyu was seriously injured and could only escape with part of the green dragon's body. This time she came for revenge.

.

Even so, when Zhou Chun heard the deal agreement reached by the two of them and Lin Hongyu, he was extremely shocked and was dumbfounded on the spot.

"I know that you are shocked by this matter, but I and the Supreme Elder have already discussed it. This is the best choice for the Zhou family at present, so now I want to discuss with you how to do our best.

Make the transaction a secret and don’t let this matter be exposed!”

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun who looked shocked and expressed his intention in a low tone.

What he meant was that Zhou Chun should stop asking why he did such extremely risky things, and instead think of ways to minimize the risk.

Zhou Chun could naturally hear this.

After hearing what Zhou Daoyi said, his first thought was to outsource!

As long as the Zhou family does not personally use family power to do this matter, even if it is exposed and leaked, it can still be pushed to the outsourcer.

But he quickly realized that this kind of thing would not work in this world of immortality.

Although the world of cultivating immortals also has rules and order, big forces will not negotiate rules and order with small forces for such huge matters.

Moreover, even in the world of his previous life, the company that dared to leave such important matters to outsourcers would not be a force with no big background like the Zhou family.

So outsourcing will only make it easier for this matter to be leaked and exposed.

"Junior believes that if you want to keep it as secret as possible, first of all, the transaction location must be outside Lanzhou, and then you cannot use the banner of the Zhou family to find people. It is best to find mortals with spiritual roots and qualifications through casual cultivators and apprentices.

Send as many mortals as possible."

"Even if we must send casual cultivators there, we should try our best to choose casual cultivators from other states who don't know and are familiar with our Zhou family!"

"In addition, this junior feels that the biggest possibility of this matter being exposed is not our Zhou family. As long as we don't give it away to her on a large scale, it is unlikely that anyone will find out."

"The person most likely to expose our Zhou family is the Hualong Sect. If they don't do a good job of keeping secrets secret, our Zhou family will be exposed easily!"

Zhou Chun's mind was spinning rapidly and he quickly put forward several opinions of his own.

To be honest, he felt that as long as he did this for a long time, sooner or later he would be exposed.

After all, what Hualong Cult wants is not dead people, but living people.

There is no need to think too much about what they want these living people to do. They must want to use these monks and mortals who can practice to expand the power of the sect.

After all, Hualong Sect is located in a remote and wilderness place, and it is very difficult to obtain enough monks with cultivation qualifications.

Otherwise, if they have established a country outside, why would they bother themselves with the trouble of provoking the Jingguo factions!
