On the northern plateau of Xia Kingdom, under the blue sky, in the boundless grassland, there is a beautiful lake like a grassland pearl.

It's a wonderland-like area, but it's out of the world, and it's not accessible to tourists, and it's not specifically marked on the map.

Xia officially claimed that this was a military weapons test base, but in fact it was not.

This is where one of the four major clans, the ancestral land of the Xuanming clan, is located.

A huge statue of the Xuanming Divine Beast, guarded in the middle of the lake, with a snake head, a turtle body, and four legs like an optimus pillar, lifelike, majestic and heroic!

On the three sides of the lake, there are a large number of ancient buildings made of gray and white rocks, ancient and magnificent buildings, showing the long history of the Xuanming clan.

The closer the building is to the north, the status of the clansmen who live is closer to the core of the Xuanming clan, and all the members of the main lineage live in the north.

At the highest point of the northern complex, a magnificent hall rises.

Outside the main hall, seven huge stone pillars are carved with the totems of the northern seven houses, the bull, the woman, the void, the danger, the room, and the wall.

From the bottom to the top, there are 365 steps carved from complete white jade!

This is the highest power center of the Xuanming Clan, the True Martial Hall!

The main hall echoes with the statue of the Xuanming Divine Beast in the lake, and it is also the highest point of the Xuanming Clan!

At this time, in the square outside the Zhenwu Palace, there were thousands of Xuanming clansmen, standing solemnly under the steps, divided into several columns.

With reverence and excitement in their eyes, they faced the statue of the mythical beast in the direction of the lake.

At the forefront of these thousand clansmen, a man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, wearing a white robe, and had a lofty aura was none other than the current patriarch of the Zhou clan, Zhou Tianqi!

On Zhou Tianqi's side, there are some core members of the Zhou family's current supervisors and members of the Council of Elders.

Zhou Tianqi had bloodshot eyes in his eyes, staring nervously at the back of the Xuanming statue.

Suddenly, on the back of that Xuanming, a piece of "shell" shattered, revealing an exit!

It turned out that the shell was actually a door made of condensed ice!

Immediately after, more than a dozen figures rose from that exit and flew out to the back of the Xuanshen Divine Beast.

As soon as Zhou Tianqi saw the dozen or so people appear, he hurriedly took the lead and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Welcome all the ancestors out of the customs!!"

The Zhou clan people present, no matter which lineage they were, all knelt on the ground and shouted passionately, "Welcome to the ancestors!!"

When the people of the Zhou clan raised their heads again, a scene that amazed them appeared!

I saw that on the magnificent lake, a wall of water more than ten meters wide and dozens of meters high was actually evoked out of thin air!

After the lake was aroused, it quickly froze into an ice wall, and the hundred-ton and thousand-ton ice wall formed a broad road that sloped downward, extending from the Xuanming Divine Beast to the lake!

It was as if in an instant, an ancient city wall appeared on the lake!

The air around the entire lake has also dropped several degrees because of this giant wall of ice!

Under the leadership of seven men and one woman, and eight ancestors, the remaining dozen ancestors also walked up to Xuanbing Avenue and walked towards the square.

Thousands of people of the Zhou clan have been dumbfounded, and the condensation of water into ice is the effect of the Zhou clan's ancestral technique "Xuanming Tiangang", as well as the basic ability of the Xuanming bloodline.

Most of the people of the Zhou clan can do this.

However, to instantly control hundreds or thousands of tons of lake water, and suddenly turn into such a magnificent Ice Heavenly Road, and to be so smooth and stable, is a realm they dare not imagine at all!

Eight ancestors took the lead from the downhill ice road to the square.

The most prominent ancestor, with black hair, looks more than ten years younger than Zhou Tianqi, dressed in a black dress, but it can be seen that it is the outfit of hundreds of years ago.

Zhou Tianqi and a group of core members of the Zhou family, when they saw all the ancestors, they all felt shortness of breath, although they were all their blood relatives, but these people were almost only seen in portraits!

The main thing is the oppressive force of the strong, or makes it difficult for them to adapt all at once.

Originally, Zhou Tianqi, as the head of the family, thought of a lot of congratulatory words, but when he really faced this group of ancestors, he didn't know where to start.

The head of the family, Zhou Tianqi, didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, and the scene was a little weirdly quiet all of a sudden.

On the contrary, the ancestors, seeing the more than 1,000 descendants present, looked calm and calm, some were quite pleased, and some were quite dissatisfied.

"Are you...... Changfeng?"

Seeing that Zhou Tianqi didn't speak, the ancestor at the head frowned slightly, and asked first.

Zhou Tianqi's face was straight, and he hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and said: "Hui Tengyun's great-ancestor, my grandson is Tianqi! My father Changfeng has passed away of illness seventeen years ago......

"Oh?" Zhou Tengyun looked a little embarrassed, "It turns out that you are the great-grandson of the old man, but how do you recognize the old man?"

Zhou Tianqi said excitedly: "Back to your great-grandfather, the portrait you left more than 300 years ago is not much different from your current appearance!

"I see...... You have a heart", Zhou Tengyun smiled and nodded.

Zhou Tianqi was praised by the ancestor, and he was as excited as a child, his face flushed.

However, soon Zhou Tianqi's expression darkened again, and he said in a low voice: "This time to invite the ancestors out of the customs, it is really the incompetence of the grandchildren.

But now that our Xuanming clan is in danger, we have no choice but to ask the ancestors to preside over the overall situation!"

Zhou Tengyun said lightly: "You don't have to blame yourself, we were planning to leave the customs in these days, and what you reported will not affect our retreat cultivation."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tianqi and the other Zhou elders all looked at each other, a little surprised.

Another rugged-looking ancestor on the side smiled and said, "A bunch of little things, if it's just to deal with an enemy, why do we need to let our brothers and sisters all go out?"

Even if Brother Tengyun doesn't come out, I, Zhou Tengxing, will be settled. ”

Zhou Tianqi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly bowed, and said with a sad face: "It turns out that this is Tengxing Ancestor, Tianqi is incompetent, your grandson Elder Changguang was killed by Ye Fan this time!"

Zhou Tengxing raised his eyebrows, "Do I have a grandson named Changguang?" I don't remember it myself...... Hey, death is death!

What's more, those who practice martial arts are already sailing against the current, and if they don't advance, they will retreat! If they are not defeated by a junior in their later life, it is not a pity to die!

Hey...... But the old man really wants to see and see, what kind of little monster has happened to the Ye family, so that you all hurriedly come and ask me to wait for the horse!"

The elders of the Zhou clan showed bitterness on their faces, and they also knew that for the ancestors, they actually didn't care too much about the life and death of their descendants, after all, they had already experienced too much, and there were too many descendants.

Zhou Tianqi was a little puzzled at this time and boldly asked: "Great Ancestor, dare to ask why this time, you and all the ancestors have come out of the customs one after another?"
