Best Ascension

Chapter 142 Eat Juehu and the Name of Righteousness
When Zhao Sheng returned to Hongyangzhou, another three months had passed.

Knowing that his friend had returned, Zhou Zhongyu was overjoyed, and rushed over immediately, shouting to clean up Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng refused, so he had to follow his friend's wishes.

The best cooks in Zhoucheng are all in Zhou's house, so the cleansing banquet was simply held in Zhao Sheng's mansion.

Not to mention the gourmet delicacies at the cleansing banquet, but Zhao Sheng's spiritual wine was indispensable.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Sheng could tell that Zhou Zhongyu was not trying to cleanse him up, but he was clearly hiding something in his heart.

Zhao Sheng was puzzled, but he didn't tell the truth. He just drank and chatted with his friends.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhou Zhongyu's face showed seven points of drunkenness.

Taking advantage of Jiu Jin, he suddenly asked: "Brother Zhao, I want to ask you a truth. Among your disciples, who do you like the most?"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng paused for a moment with the hand holding the wine glass, and a few strands of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Don't look at Zhou Zhongyu as if he is talking drunk, on the surface he is asking him which apprentice he likes the most, but in essence?

In essence, it is to test Zhao Sheng's mind!
What are your thoughts?
Naturally, he used his drunkenness to test the question of who left the relics after he passed away.

Don't forget, Zhao Sheng's time is running out, and on the surface he is a "childless and daughterless" Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator.

Zhao Sheng's trip back home surprised some members of the Zhou family.

It was originally thought that after Zhao Sheng's death, his inheritance must belong to the Zhou family.

Not necessarily now.

Maybe Zhao has already left his wealth and inheritance in his hometown, giving it to relatives or a "fated person".

You must know that Zhao Sheng is a highly skilled second-tier talisman master, and his net worth is far richer than ordinary immortal cultivators in the late stage of foundation establishment.

If such a large amount of inheritance falls into the hands of "outsiders", some members of the Zhou family will become "crazy".

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Sheng came back, Zhou Zhongyu rushed over immediately, saying that he was hosting a banquet to welcome the news, but in essence he came to listen to the news.

Looking at the drunken "friend", Zhao Sheng put down his wine glass, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Since my virtuous brother asked, I will chat casually. Among my sixteen apprentices, I am the best in terms of aptitude. The one with the best comprehension is Zhou Qingwu."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhongyu was overjoyed.

However, Zhao Sheng changed his tone, "But when it comes to hard work, Qingwu is not as good as Zhou Qingqing. When it comes to the reverence for talismans, Qingwu is far behind Zhou Yunmin."

After Zhou Zhongyu heard this, he said anxiously: "Brother Zhao, don't you think you are optimistic about Qing Wu's nephew?"

"No, no! Qingwu is the Qilin son of your Zhou family. Of course I value him very much. But he is not the most suitable person to pass on the mantle."

After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass again, and said with a smile: "Stop talking about that. Let's drink!"

A gloomy look flashed across Zhou Zhongyu's eyes, and he quickly picked up his wine glass and shouted, "Yes, let's drink! I'll toast Brother Zhao!"

boom!
The two white porcelain wine glasses touched each other lightly, and the spiritual wine in the glasses rippled slightly, just like the mood of the two of them at this time.

After the cleansing banquet, Zhao Sheng visited several important people in succession in the next few days.

It was an act of courtesy, a sign that he was back.

After several days of frequent communication, Zhao Sheng was finally "free".

Seven days later, he appeared in a spirit wine shop in Xichengfang City, Zhoucheng.

The name of this spirit wine shop is "Baili Crisp". On the surface, it is a shop selling spirit wine, but it is actually an information point under the black ice platform.

The Black Ice Platform is a secret service organization responsible for monitoring the interior of the Yong Dynasty. It is normal to set up special intelligence points for the "princes" in the dynasty.

Zhao Sheng can be sure that there are far more than one information points like this in Zhoucheng.

After entering the store and revealing his identity, Zhao Sheng was quickly taken into the underground secret room of the store, and met He Ying who was dying, He Siye!
"Fourth Master, where are the other two?" Zhao Sheng asked curiously.

He Ying likes to rely on the old to sell the old, and also likes to be called the fourth master.

Zhao Sheng "does as the Romans do in the countryside" and had no intention of getting entangled in such a trivial matter, so he also called him fourth master.

"Wu Idiot and Bao'er have important things to do."

He Ying did not explain carefully, but found a reason at random.

Ah!
Zhao Sheng nodded, and didn't mean to ask carefully.

He came here today, one is to meet the family, and the other is to report the recent movements of the Zhou family.

After receiving the jade disc of information handed over by Zhao Sheng, He Ying flipped through it casually, not seeming to care much.

Zhao Sheng was not surprised by his behavior.

There is a good saying,

Sometimes the person who knows you best is not necessarily yourself, but your enemy!

Three months ago, when he was first brought to the secret archives of the Black Ice Terrace, he saw information about the Zhou family filled twenty large warehouses.

Zhao Sheng already realized that the little tricks he had made would not catch Mo Shengxuan's eyes at all.

It's just that his cultivation base is high enough to be valued by Mo Shengxuan.

In other words, a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation establishment can be regarded as a powerful thug in the war to wipe out the Zhou family.

It stands to reason that it is not too difficult for the Mo family to destroy the Zhou family.

Among other things, a Nascent Soul Patriarch is enough to suppress all enemies.

However, the rules of a cultivating dynasty don't play like that.

As the makers of the rules, the Mo family can only gain the greatest benefit by obeying the rules.

If the rules are trampled on at will, the most damaged will always be the royal family itself.

Therefore, if the Mo family wanted to wipe out the Zhou family, they had to occupy the righteousness, and only if they were righteous, could they convince the public. Otherwise, it would definitely cause panic among the people in the court and lead to instability in the foundation of the dynasty.

Zhao Sheng already understood.

Although intelligence is important, it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is timing!

The Mo family is waiting, waiting for the Zhou family to "make a mistake"

It's like a spider laying out its web, waiting for some worm to err and fall into the web.

After reading the information, He Ying nodded, put away Yudie casually, and then said: "Brother Zhao, you just joined the Black Ice Terrace, so you may not know the inside story. In fact, we have already deployed many spies inside the Zhou family. Some spies It has been almost 100 years since I entered the Zhou family, and some have been lurking for several generations..."

Having said that, He Ying tentatively said, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhao Sheng nodded, "I understand what Fourth Master said!"

He Ying smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "So the main task of the few of us is not here, but in Boiling Spring Valley!"

When Zhao Sheng heard about Boiling Spring Valley, Zhao Sheng suddenly realized that it was so!
If the Zhou family wanted to breed Jinhuan Spirit Earthworm, they would definitely choose Boiling Spring Valley.

Because Boiling Spring Valley is the core and most secret place of the Zhou family, and it is also the place where the ancestors of the Zhou family cultivated.

Boiling Spring Valley is extremely well-defended. It is surrounded by a third-tier defensive formation all the year round and never opened to the outside world.

Not to mention outsiders, even members of the Qi-refining clan of the Zhou family are not qualified to take a step forward, unless you are promoted to the foundation establishment realm or are favored by your ancestors.
