Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Xu Xiwang was about to kill Zhou Baihu, he finally spoke up.
"Since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth withered ten thousand years ago, all the ancient martial arts families and hidden sects have gone into hiding. Many of the former prodigies possessed powerful physiques, but they had no hope of cultivation. So they used secret techniques and treasures to seal themselves in secret realms, waiting for the awakening of the next era."
"Now, due to the revival of spiritual energy, these once-sealed powerhouses have emerged one after another, and Zhou Baihu is one of them."
Xu Qingfeng continued, "The global situation is changing rapidly. In the Provisional Government of the Earth Federation, the number of seats in the council is determined by the number of experts above the Transformation Realm in each faction. The Zhou family has a lot of experts, while most of the experts in my main branch are not in the family. The First Madam does not want to participate in these worldly power struggles. Therefore, my family's voice in the Provisional Government Council is not as strong as that of other families. If you kill Zhou Baihu, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."
Xu Xiwang remained calm upon hearing this, naturally knowing what Xu Qingfeng meant.
The Xu family currently lacks many powerful figures to guard it, while the Zhou family has seen many powerful individuals resurrected, making it a formidable force.
The two families have a deep-seated conflict. If Xu Xiwang were to kill Zhou Baihu, this resurrected genius, it would likely ignite a major war between the Zhou and Xu families.
The Xu family will likely suffer a loss.
"So that's how it is. The powerful being that was sealed away before."
Xu Xiwang nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, as if he were dealing with a trivial matter.
After he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a stream of true energy immediately entered Zhou Baihu's body, causing Zhou Baihu's body to rise into the air.
"Go, go and tell the Zhou family that I, Xu Xiwang, have returned."
Xu Xiwang spoke to the few people trembling in the air, his aura suddenly bursting forth.
"The dignity of the Xu family shall not be trampled upon!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the group fled in panic.
"Let's go, take this kid with us."
Xu Xiwang looked at Xu Qingfeng and said.
"Where are you going? Back to your family?"
Xu Qingfeng was stunned.
Xu Xiwang glanced at Zhou Baihu and said with a half-smile, "Guess?"
......
Xu, Zhou, Han, Lan.
Although these four families are known as the Four Great Families of Yanjing, they can be said to be the most powerful families in all of China.
The other top-tier wealthy families are merely supporting characters.
No one knows the origin of these four families. All that is known is that these four families have stood firm since the time of the ancient dynasties vying for supremacy. They have survived thousands of years of vicissitudes and are still prosperous. Generation after generation, they have always maintained a transcendent status.
They did not participate in dynastic struggles, nor did they bother to participate. In fact, when many dynasties fell, they did not intervene but simply watched from the sidelines.
Therefore, the four major families have always been high above all other families. Even some leaders have to give them some respect and dare not provoke them easily.
The Zhou and Xu families have been embroiled in constant disputes for many years, engaging in open and covert struggles and undermining each other, yet they still maintain a superficial relationship.
However, both sides are powerful families with their own strengths, and over time they have become mutually restraining.
After all, both families have been passed down for thousands of years and possess too many secrets and wealth. If they were to truly break off relations, it would likely result in a lose-lose situation.
Therefore, the two sides maintained a polite distance on the surface.
The Zhou family's courtyard house occupies the most superior environment in Yanjing City. It covers a vast area, with magnificent buildings, luxurious and elegant, resembling a palace and having a strong visual impact.
Within a three-kilometer radius of the Zhou family's residence, heavy troops were stationed, patrolling and maintaining strict vigilance. Any vehicle entering the area would be intercepted.
The security level of this residence is at its highest level.
Anyone who enters without permission will be met with heavy firepower and certain death.
