At this time, the Yun family was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, all of which were ordered by Yunlong.
Yun Tongshan and Yun Tian saw all of this but said nothing. Yun Tongshan continued to use his poor health as an excuse to rarely appear.
Zhou Tong arrived as promised, accompanied by a strange old man whose identity was unclear.
The old man was dressed in a black robe, the hood of which obscured his face, making it impossible to discern his features. However, from Zhou Tong's slightly respectful gaze, one could guess that this old man was certainly no ordinary person.
Yunlong was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Zhou Tong arrive, he went to greet him from afar.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two exchanged a knowing glance.
Yunlong led Zhou Tong and his companion to the main hall of the family. The festive decorations and the respectful greetings from the Yun family members made Zhou Tong feel very pleased.
Zhou Tong nodded to Yunlong without leaving a trace, seemingly quite satisfied with Yunlong's arrangement.
At this moment, in the main hall of the family, Yun Tian sat in the main seat, while Yun Xiao sat reluctantly next to him.
Upon seeing Zhou Tong and his companion arrive, Yun Tian stood up and bowed to them. Yun Xiao remained seated, not even bothering to greet them; upon seeing Zhou Tong, he simply turned his head away, his face filled with annoyance.
Seeing Yunxiao like this, Zhou Tong sneered inwardly. Now you ignore me, but once I tie you to the bed, you'll be begging for mercy under me!
After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhou Tong was the first to speak, asking Yun Tian:
"Patriarch Yun, I wonder how your father's injuries have recovered since he took my elixir?"
Before Yun Tian could speak, Yun Long stood up, bowed to Zhou Tong, and said:
"Thank you for the elixir, Young Master Zhou. My father's health is gradually recovering, but recently he has said that he still feels a little weak."
Zhou Tong laughed heartily and said:
“After I returned home, my father scolded me and specifically asked me to bring the elders of our family to come and examine your father.”
"Then thank you very much, Young Master Zhou."
Yunlong and Zhou Tong sang in unison, showing no regard for Yuntian, the head of the family. After speaking, Yunlong left the hall without even saying goodbye and went to invite Yuntong Mountain.
Zhou Tong looked at Yun Tian, whose face was full of displeasure, and said:
"Patriarch Yun, you may not know this, but Elder Wang has just joined our Zhou family. Not only is his strength at the early stage of Immortal Emperor, but he is also a genuine Pill Emperor. With Elder Wang here, your father's injuries will definitely be healed."
Yun Tian then turned his gaze to the black-robed old man who had remained silent.
The strength of the Immortal Emperor was already enough to surprise Yun Tian. After all, the Zhou family patriarch was also a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, and his own father was also a mid-stage Immortal Emperor. If the two families were to go to war, they would be evenly matched.
However, if there is another Immortal Emperor, the Yun family will have a hard time dealing with him.
What's even more deadly is that this powerful Immortal Emperor is actually a Pill King.
Yun Tian couldn't understand how the Zhou family could possibly recruit a Pill Emperor.
However, Yun Tian also vaguely understood that the one who secretly placed the poison in his father's body was probably Elder Wang in front of him.
Elder Wang stood up, gave Yun Tian a perfunctory bow, and then sat down again.
Yun Tian didn't say anything. With his status as a Pill Emperor and a Celestial Emperor, the other party had every right to be arrogant!
A short while later, Yun Tongshan and Yunlong appeared in the hall together.
Elder Wang suddenly stood up. His expression, which had been obscured until now, was now flashing with surprise as he looked at Yun Tongshan.
Yun Tongshan's gaze also fell on Elder Wang, and he spoke calmly:
"This must be Elder Wang, right?"
Elder Wang nodded, and said with some disbelief:
"You've recovered?"
Yun Tongshan smiled and said:
"Thanks to Elder Wang's help, all the hidden ailments in my body have been completely cured. Moreover, the black energy in the Zhongchan acupoint has also been cleared away."
Yun Tongshan deliberately emphasized the words "Zhongchanxue" (中颤穴). With Elder Wang's strength at the early stage of Immortal Emperor, he could naturally sense the aura of a mid-stage Immortal Emperor on his body. In addition, given Elder Wang's identity as a Pill Emperor, it was impossible for him to conceal his injuries.
As expected, when Elder Wang heard Yun Tongshan's words, he immediately said:
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Zhou Tong was completely confused and asked:
"Elder Wang, what exactly is going on?"
Elder Wang muttered to himself:
“His injuries are so severe that even if I used all my strength, they couldn’t have been healed so quickly. Besides, there was the poison I used… There must have been a master who intervened. This person’s medical skills are far superior to mine.”
Zhou Tong was also extremely surprised and said in shock:
"How is this possible? How could anyone be more skilled in medicine than Elder Wang! Yunlong, didn't you say your old man had already been infected?"
Now that the truth had been revealed, Zhou Tong was furious and could no longer pretend. He shouted at Yunlong.
Yunlong's face was grim. He had thought that with the Zhou family as his backing, he could take the position of head of the Yun family. Now, not only had he failed to accomplish his goal, but he had also been exposed. How could he survive in the Yun family in the future?
"Yunlong, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Yun Tongshan looked at Yunlong with some heartache. After all, how could he not feel heartbroken at being betrayed by his own son?
Yunlong stammered and couldn't speak. Yun Tongshan ignored Yunlong for the time being, after all, the immediate problem to be solved was the Zhou family's issue.
"Young Master Zhou, wouldn't you like to explain your elixir as well?"
Yun Tongshan coldly addressed Zhou Tong, emanating the aura of a mid-stage Immortal Emperor. Zhou Tong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Elder Wang stood in front of Zhou Tong, blocking Yun Tongshan's aura, which made Zhou Tong feel a little better. However, Elder Wang was only at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, and he had no chance of winning against Yun Tongshan!
"Hahahaha, Yuntongshan, congratulations on your recovery!"
A hearty laugh rang out, and a figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhou Tong immediately knelt down and said:
"Grandpa, save me!"
The newcomer was none other than Zhou Zhengwen, the patriarch of the Zhou family and a powerful cultivator in the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.
Elder Wang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Zhou Zhengwen. With a mid-stage Immortal Emperor present, the Yun family was no longer a threat.
"Zhou Zhengwen, what do you mean by this?"
Yun Tongshan looked at Zhou Zhengwen with an unfriendly expression and spoke coldly.
Zhou Zhengwen laughed heartily and replied:
"Don't get so angry, old friend. Today is auspicious day for our two families to unite through marriage."
Yuntongshan snorted coldly, but before he could speak, Yunxiao stood up and said loudly:
"Who wants to form a marriage alliance with your Zhou family? What nonsense are you spouting!"
