The Monarch of the Nine States

In the hall, the atmosphere wasn't relaxed much after Huo Wushuang and the others left. Zhou Hao and the others frowned, worry hanging on their faces.

Seeing this, Cang Yun muttered to himself irresolutely before taking the initiative to break the silence with an apologetic tone, "Uncle Zhou, are you going to blame me for taking the initiative earlier?"

"How could that be?" Zhou Hao shook his head. He looked at Cang Yun with a gentle smile on his slightly aged face, "You are doing this for Xian'er. Moreover, this matter has implicated you as well.

As the Young Master of the Fire Realm, Huo Wushuang is not a simple character. I believe you have heard of him before, but you actually arranged a battle with him. How am I supposed to explain this to Big Brother Cang?

Feeling the sincerity in Zhou Hao's words, Cang Yun smiled. This Uncle Zhou in front of him was just like his father, someone who valued friendship greatly. It was likely that the two of them being close friends had something to do with their personality.

"Uncle Zhou, there's no need to be like this. This is my own decision. Moreover, the young master of the Fire World has an extraordinary strength. I might not necessarily lose. After all, I still have two years." He had heard a bit about Huo Wushuang's situation. This person was a genius with the Unparalleled Blood Source, and his talent was similar to his back then, but now, Cang Yun had completely changed, and had inherited the legacy of an ancient almighty being. Although it had only been a short period of time, there was still hope for him to win.

Zhou Hao also understood this nephew of his very well. Although the former was a little young, his character was extremely calm and steady. If he did not have any confidence, he would definitely not make such a reckless decision. This caused the worry in Zhou Hao's heart to fade a lot.

Of course, most importantly, Zhou Hao had already sensed Cang Yun's current strength. This meant that the latter had already recovered his original talent, and with Cang Yun's monstrous training speed back then, there was indeed a sliver of hope for the battle two years later.

"Uncle Zhou, this is a letter my father wrote to you." The matter regarding the arranged battle had already been decided, and Cang Yun did not want to be entangled on this issue anymore. Thus, he changed the topic and stated his purpose in coming here, and handed the letter over to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao took the letter and nodded. Then, he continued to read it in detail.

"I understand." A moment later, Zhou Hao put down the letter in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I will discuss this matter with the ancestor in earnest. Only at that time will I be able to give your father an answer."

"Ok, thank you, Uncle Zhou." Cang Yun faintly smiled. He could understand Zhou Hao's reply. Although the latter was the lord of a realm, there was still a terrifying ancestor within the Sunfire World. As for that person, he was the true head of the world.

"What's there to thank me for? Today, you stood up for my Sunscorch World. If I were to say thank you, it would actually be Uncle that would be thanking you." Zhou Hao smiled as he stared at Cang Yun, "Recently, our Zhou clan's opening day has coincided with that. I plan to leave one of the spots to you as a thank you, and on the other hand, it will be beneficial to your strength."

Zhou family's residence?

This was because this so-called clan's land was the foundation of a clan. Only the extremely outstanding geniuses from the clan would be able to enter it to undergo the trial. Once they completed it, they would be able to obtain many benefits.

However, compared to the Zhou clan, the name of the Cang clan was much weaker. It was said that the ancestor of the Zhou family who founded the Fiery Sun World was an ancient figure, and both the Zhou family and the Fiery Sun realm were extremely famous at that time. The Fiery Sun realm was ranked higher on the Azure Province than the current Fiery World, but after the death of the Zhou family's ancestor, the Zhou family gradually declined.

However, although the Zhou family declined quite a bit, the name Zhou family still resounded throughout the Azure Province. After all, within the family grounds, it was the only place that carried the glory of the Zhou family.

As he thought about this, Cang Yun felt a little envious. Currently, he urgently needed to increase his strength. This Zhou Clan's land was a fortuitous opportunity that could only be encountered by chance but not sought.

However, before he could reply, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded.

The one who spoke was the Great Elder of the Zhou family's three elders. He had a lot of authority in the Zhou family, so he was the first one to refute Zhou Hao. The other two elders also agreed after a moment of hesitation.

"Great Elder is right, this matter still requires some consideration from the sector lord."

"I also think that's not appropriate. In recent years, the Zhou family has produced many genius disciples, and the quota for the clan territory is already quite tight. Sector Lords should consider the family more."

Zhou Hao calmly looked down at the three Elders. After the three of them finished speaking, he coldly snorted and sneered, "I didn't think that the three Elders would be so eloquent. But when we were negotiating with the world of fire, why didn't I see you speak at all?"

Zhou Hao's indifferent words instantly blocked the three Elders' mouths. All of their faces were red with embarrassment, unable to retort.

"This matter was decided by the Patriarch himself. If you have any objections, go and speak with him." Looking at the three elders' faces filled with shame and anger, in the end, Zhou Hao once again gave them an answer that they were unable to protest against.

The three elders immediately became quiet after hearing that. "Since it's the patriarch's decision, we will naturally comply."

The Patriarch of the Zhou Clan was the Zhou Clan's Soul-Sealing Spike. No one dared to question or refute his words.

While Cang Yun was happy with this result, he was also slightly surprised. When did the usually elusive Zhou family's ancestor notice him again?

However, before he could think about it, he felt some strength from his arm. He turned his head, and when he saw Zhou Xian'er's urging gaze, he immediately came back to his senses and bowed to Zhou Hao.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
