Zhou Zhaolong and Zhou Bo came out upon hearing the noise, and their divine sense swept across the next room, immediately shocking them:
In the neighboring courtyard, corpses lay scattered about, all belonging to members of the Dongdan family.
Apart from these corpses, Dongdan Fuji, Dongdan Fufa, and Dongdan Jinghong were nowhere to be found.
The Dongdan family's courtyard was already surrounded by raging fire. If it weren't for the protective arrays on both sides of the courtyard, the fire would have already spread and reached them.
“It’s the Pill Sect…” Zhou Zhaolong and Zhou Bo exchanged a glance and reached a conclusion in their hearts.
Zhou Bo's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes filled with panic.
The Dongdan family's fighting strength this time was far superior to that of the Zhou family, yet they still suffered a loss. What about all the things he committed...?
"Elder, save me!" Zhou Bo, no longer arrogant as he was during the day, turned to Zhou Zhaolong and pleaded for help through telepathic communication.
Zhou Zhaolong's heart pounded. He pulled Zhou Bo into the house, set up an isolation array, and hurriedly asked, "Bo'er, tell me honestly, what exactly have you been doing?"
"I...I..." Zhou Bo still couldn't quite bring himself to say it, but thinking of the terrible scene next door, he steeled himself and said, "Does the Grand Elder still remember Yunxiao from back then?"
“Of course I remember. It was because you participated in that great encirclement and suppression that our Zhou family gained a lot of glory.” Zhou Zhaolong paused here, his face showing disbelief: “Could it be… that there’s more to the story of the Yun family?!”
"Yes, the Yun family has been completely framed!"
Zhou Bo gritted his teeth and sent a super bombshell to Zhou Zhaolong through telepathy.
"What?!" Zhou Zhaolong stumbled, almost losing his balance. His eyes widened in shock, anger, and fear as he pointed at Zhou Bo, speechless for a long time: "Bo'er, you, you, you...!"
"The Yun family members have a special physique; they can draw spiritual energy from moonstones, which are energy stones, to cultivate without being limited by spirit stones. Furthermore, their unique physique allows those they have intimate relations with to improve their cultivation without resistance, making them excellent cultivation vessels. Therefore, the Yun family has become the target of those with ulterior motives. That group, in league with the Jin family, who have always resented the Yun family, meticulously plotted to smear the Yun family with the accusation of demonic possession, then massively arrested and imprisoned Yun family members to use as cultivation vessels. And that time, Yunxiao…" Zhou Bo, ultimately too ashamed to elaborate on the matter, paused and said, "I couldn't resist the temptation of Dongdan Jinghong and participated; later, the Jin family captured many Yun family members, and over the past thousand years, Dongdan Jinghong has given me several more, which is why my cultivation has…"
"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Enraged, Zhou Zhaolong slapped Zhou Bo several times after hearing this, and said with heartache, "Bo'er, how foolish you are! You know the Yun family is innocent, why didn't you tell the family head and us? You know the Dongdan family and Dongdan Jinghong are not good people, why did you still try your best to make our Zhou family befriend the Dongdan family and interfere in everything? You are sending our entire Zhou family to hell!"
"Elder, you don't know, using a member of the Yun family as a cultivation vessel makes cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, and advancement is extremely easy. I really... I also want to improve my cultivation quickly, and I don't want the Dongdan family to turn around and support other families, thereby suppressing our Zhou family and reducing us to a laughable existence like the Qu family or the Jin family, which can be replaced at any time." Zhou Bo said with red eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved, "But I didn't expect that Yun Yao was also a member of the Yun family, and that she would emerge so powerfully!"
