Chapter 154 Zhou Yan's Determination

Upon hearing Li Lingfeng's words, Qin Wu did not hesitate at all.

Just as Li Lingfeng said.

The Zhou siblings are now disciples of Tianwu Mountain. Therefore, Tianwu Mountain absolutely cannot abandon any of its members; this is a rule that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years since the sect's founding. Thus, Qin Wu's expression turned cold, and he spoke.

"Since the Zhou family is going to make a move against us, whatever they want to do, we will fight them to the end."

The entire Tianwu Mountain began to function like a war machine. Although most of Tianwu Mountain's forces were not currently stationed here, but had already reached the front lines.

Even so, Tianwu Mountain still possesses considerable resources, but faced with the crisis of the Zhou family, it still issued an order to close the mountain.

For Tianwu Mountain at this moment, the best course of action is naturally to wait for the many powerful figures on the front lines to return, especially their sect leader.

Once their sect leader returns, the Zhou family will naturally crumble on their own. At that time, it won't be a big problem for Tianwu Mountain to send people to the Zhou family to resolve this feud.

More than half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, but the Zhou family hadn't made any moves. Seeing this, Qin Wu approached Li Lingfeng and asked him what was going on.

"Elder, has the Zhou family really come? They've been so quiet for the past two weeks, there's been absolutely no trace of them."

It's no wonder Qin Wu was somewhat puzzled.

If the Zhou family were to appear, there should be some clues, no matter what. But right now, everything is as calm as if no one could ever threaten Tianwu Mountain.

Although they have been staying on Tianwu Mountain for the past two weeks, there are still many things that need to be taken care of.

After all, Tianwu Mountain is the largest sect within a radius of hundreds of miles, and many crises below the mountain need to be dealt with by Tianwu Mountain. Not to mention other monsters causing trouble, which require martial artists to go and suppress them.

However, in the past two weeks, no disciples from Tianwu Mountain have come down the mountain, which has become a huge problem for the people living at the foot of the mountain.

Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, Li Linfeng's expression remained unchanged. He merely frowned and then said with a hint of helplessness:

"The information I received is that there shouldn't be any problems with it, but it might not be easy to resolve. After all, the Zhou family could attack at any time, but we can only defend right now."

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that one will fall into a passive position.

This can't go on forever. Things still need to be done, and we can't really keep the mountain closed off for long. The Zhou family is much more difficult to deal with than we imagined.

For now, let's restore the disciples' right to enter and leave the mountain gate. As long as the disciples change their previous solitary behavior and start traveling in groups, even the Zhou family may not be able to pose any threat to the disciples of Tianwu Mountain.

Hearing Li Linfeng's words, Qin Wu nodded. There was no other way. Although they knew this might provide the Zhou family with a breakthrough, continuing like this was truly unsustainable.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Wu's eyes before he spoke.

"If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? Our situation is absolutely not going to work. In my opinion, we should go directly to the Zhou family and resolve these issues."

Li Linfeng then spoke.

"I know all these things, but it's not that easy."

The Zhou family is extremely far from here, and it would take us a considerable amount of time to get there. More importantly, we don't know much about the Zhou family's specific situation.

Although Zhou Yan and his sister are from the Zhou family, they are still young and don't know much about the family's power. However, based on our speculation, the Zhou family must have quite a few martial artists at the True Self Realm level.

"As long as there are no martial artists at the True Martial Realm, it's not a big problem."

Qin Wu spoke directly.

With his current strength, although he might struggle against a True Martial Realm martial artist, he wouldn't have much of a problem against anyone outside that realm. However, Li Linfeng shook his head again and said...

"Although it is unlikely that the Zhou family has any martial artists at the True Martial Realm, they may be colluding with the demon race, and they may also have some evil formations, such as blood sacrifice techniques."

These methods will inevitably give the Zhou family some unknown fighting strength. Once a problem arises, it will not be easy to solve at that time.

"With your current strength, if you were to go to the Zhou family, you would likely be able to escape unscathed and deal them a significant blow. However, the problem is that if you leave, the Zhou family will inevitably find a breakthrough here. If they manage to reach my Tianwu Mountain, its century-old foundation could be destroyed."

There was a hint of resentment in Li Lingfeng's eyes.

Although he considered himself to be quite strong, he also knew that he was far behind the elders of Tianwu Mountain during its peak.

Based on his current strength, back then he would at most be an inner disciple.

Back in its heyday, every elder of Tianwu Mountain was at least at the True Martial Realm. But now, he is still only at the True Self Realm, and only at the late stage of the True Self Realm.

Such strength would indeed be considered powerful in some small sects, but for the size of Tianwu Mountain, it is simply too weak.

According to Zhou Yan, the Zhou family has more than one martial artist at the late stage of the True Self Realm.

He originally thought that Tianwu Mountain was going to face a huge crisis this time, and that they would have to fight to the death with the Zhou family, which would inevitably result in considerable losses.

However, Qin Wu's appearance made him realize that things might change, but the problem was that if he didn't do that, he absolutely couldn't let Qin Wu leave the mountain gate, otherwise it would definitely give the Zhou family a chance to take advantage of the situation, and then Tianwu Mountain would inevitably suffer losses.

It was precisely for this reason that he was unable to make up his mind to take action.

Qin Wu's eyes turned somewhat sinister.

It must be said that Elder Li Lingfeng was right; there is indeed truth to that.

Currently, he is the only one on the entire Tianwu Mountain who has the strength to confront the Zhou family head-on. However, he is too busy to be in two places at once. If he leaves too far away, the Zhou family will attack Tianwu Mountain, and it will indeed be difficult for Tianwu Mountain to withstand them.

After the two reached an agreement, the disciples' permission to leave the mountain was once again granted, albeit with much stricter restrictions than before. In the past, there were few limitations; anyone who wanted to leave the mountain could do so after applying.

However, now, not only are there requirements for the strength of the disciples who go down the mountain, but also for the number of people. It is simply impossible for one person to go down the mountain alone.

The entire Tianwu Mountain is now in a state of panic. Fortunately, they are also very clear that although the Zhou family is a threat to them, as long as they can hold out until their sect leader returns to Tianwu Mountain, all the problems will be solved.

The Zhou siblings sat together, both looking extremely grim.

They were certainly aware of the recent situation at Tianwu Mountain, and they also knew that everything was caused by them. If it weren't for them, Tianwu Mountain would never have fallen into such a passive situation.

"Brother, Tianwu Mountain simply doesn't have the strength to contend with the Zhou family right now."

Zhou Yan glanced at him, then spoke coldly.

"What do you want to do? I'm telling you, whatever you're thinking, forget it. All you have to do now is stay on Tianwu Mountain."

Although the Zhou family is indeed in some danger, once the sect leader and the others return, the problem will naturally be resolved. There's no need for you to do anything unnecessary.

Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Qiao'er's face showed some reluctance, but she ultimately nodded in agreement.

She also knew that with her own strength, she was simply not enough to contend with a power like the Zhou family.

However, after Zhou Yan saw Zhou Qiao'er off, his expression turned extremely gloomy. His expression changed several times, and then without any hesitation, he left his residence and headed towards Qin Wu's location.

When Qin Wu arrived, he saw Zhou Yan and his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Senior Brother Qin, I know the current situation on Tianwu Mountain. I have a way to resolve the crisis."

"What method?"

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and then said.

"In the end, these people from the Zhou family are here for my brother and me. Although we don't know what their purpose is, as long as we can lure them out, we can naturally follow the clues and find out what's going on here."

"You want to be the bait yourself?"

Qin Wu immediately understood what he meant.

However, this matter is of course very dangerous.

Zhou Yan's strength is not considered formidable. After such a long period of cultivation, Zhou Yan has barely reached the initial stage of True Qi.

Even so, when facing a truly powerful opponent, such a level of strength is clearly insufficient to support his fight.

Moreover, subsequent support couldn't possibly follow them around; otherwise, the Zhou family wouldn't be fools and would have been discovered immediately.

So even if they might find something on the Zhou family, it would still be extremely dangerous for Zhou Yan, who was being used as bait. He could very well be taken away by them, or even killed.

Although the Zhou family did not intend to kill the Zhou siblings last time, the situation is different now, and no one knows what the Zhou family is really thinking.

Zhou Yan's expression showed no hesitation. He nodded heavily and then spoke resolutely.

"I know, but this matter was caused by my brother and me, so we are both responsible. My sister is too young and not strong enough, so it is natural for me, the older brother, to step in."

"I just hope that if anything happens to me, Senior Brother Qin, you can take care of my sister for me."

Qin Wu nodded in agreement.

In fact, he had already had this idea for a while. After all, just as he had thought before, it was only the Qin people who were thieves, not the other way around. If they continued to drag it out, the losses for Tianwu Mountain would only become more and more severe. So he had long wanted to take the initiative to strike.

However, he also knew that this matter was indeed very dangerous, so he didn't force Zhou Yan to step forward. At the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of character Zhou Yan had and whether he was worth his time.

As for the danger involved, it may seem very dangerous, but in reality, the level of danger is not that high. With Qin Wu's current strength, even if there is still some danger involved, as long as the Zhou family does not send anyone too strong, it will not be too much trouble for Qin Wu.

After all, Qin Wu now possesses the strength to kill a half-step True Self Realm expert, and not only that, his newly appeared Jade-Eyed Eagle Martial Soul has further enhanced his eyes.

Although the integration is not extensive yet, there has been some progress after a period of continuous training, which has significantly improved his dynamic vision.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible for the Zhou family members to sneak away to Zhou Yan's location and take him away without his knowledge.

Therefore, in Qin Wu's view, the real danger of this matter was that the Zhou family wanted to kill Zhou Yan directly.

This is the only way to catch Qin Wu off guard. However, if the other party only wants to take Zhou Yan away, Qin Wu is confident he can rescue him.

However, there's no need to tell Zhou Yan about this.

After the two made their decision, they informed Elder Li Linfeng of the situation. Elder Li Linfeng looked somewhat conflicted upon hearing this, but quickly looked at Zhou Yan, sighed, and said...

"It's a pity that Tianwu Mountain is not strong enough now, otherwise, why would we let a disciple like you take such a risk?"

This matter is quite dangerous, but fortunately, Junior Nephew Qin is now exceptionally strong. As long as you are vigilant, you may not be able to let the Zhou family succeed.

"I will also have my Tianwu Mountain elite forces deployed to trap the Zhou family, ensuring they will not take you away from my Tianwu Mountain territory."

The next morning, Zhou Yan came down from the foot of the mountain.

After he reached the foot of the mountain, without any hesitation, he went to a secluded spot and then shouted loudly.

"Come out, all of you. I know you've been following me. I don't want this to involve my sect. If you want to take me away, then take me away."

However, the surroundings were completely silent, as if no one was there.

He wasn't surprised by this. However, he was certain that there were members of the Zhou family in his vicinity.

The Zhou family hasn't shown up yet because they're assessing the situation. They need to determine if there's any danger involved.

After all, Zhou Yan's actions of descending the mountain at this moment were too obvious.

Zhou Yan didn't care and just waited quietly.

In the shadows, Zhou's spies immediately relayed the information to headquarters.

The Zhou family members were somewhat surprised to hear of Zhou Yan's appearance.

Is Zhou Yan trying to commit suicide this week?
