CHAPTER 1175: CHAPTER 1175: ALLIANCE OF THE FAMILIES

Zhu Family.

Zhu Tanggong’s failed return naturally caused a huge commotion in the Zhu Family.

However, after understanding what happened, Zhu Tangfeng, the Family Head of the Zhu Family, did not blame Zhu Tanggong. Instead, he called the whole family to a meeting.

In the conference room.

Zhu Tangfeng sat in the main seat, remained silent for a long time, and then spoke.

"This Zhou Yu is indeed extraordinary."

"This issue with the Gong Family, it really can’t be blamed on the third brother."

"However, this incident has given us a warning."

"That is, Zhou Yu must be eliminated, and it must be done quickly."

"Moreover, it should be done at all costs."

Upon hearing this, the second brother, Zhu Tangcai, frowned.

"Elder brother, are you overestimating this kid?"

"No matter how powerful he is, he’s just a Saint Realm warrior. Moreover, as far as I know, there is no King Realm expert in the entire Hucheng Martial Pavilion, and not even one who is close to the King Realm."

"Though Xiao Ce is desperate and tried to break into Hu City today, he could not guarantee a safe retreat."

"So, I believe Zhou Yu is not a concern."

"We can find an opportunity to eliminate him later."

Zhu Tangfeng directly negated the words of the second brother.

"Second brother, you underestimate that kid Zhou Yu too much."

"I just said, this matter cannot be delayed, it must be dealt with quickly. My mind is made up, and there’s no more discussion on this."

Zhu Tangfeng, wielding the authority of the Family Head, directly dismissed Zhu Tangcai’s words.

Zhu Tangcai was not angered. He said in a solemn tone:

"Eliminating this kid soon is also acceptable."

"Our Zhu Family will directly deploy a King Realm expert to secretly take him out."

"No!"

Zhu Tangfeng once again directly denied this.

"Zhou Yu is not like the previous Martial Pavilion Minister. Against him, we cannot be careless."

"Nor should we act alone as a family."

"If I’m not mistaken, that old fellow Han Jiantu is also anxious now, wanting to eliminate Zhou Yu as quickly as possible..."

...

Ao Family.

After Ao Ziye returned to the family, he was immediately punished by the Ao Family Elder Council.

"Ao Ziye, this time the family paid a huge price just for the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc, yet you returned empty-handed and caused a significant financial loss to the Ao Family."

"On behalf of the Elder Council, I officially announce that from today onwards, all your positions and rights in the family are revoked."

On hearing the announcement from the Elder Council, Ao Ziye’s face immediately turned extremely pale.

He looked at another young man sitting nearby, Ao Ziyi.

Ao Ziyi is his elder brother by blood and the designated future successor of the Ao Family.

However, Ao Ziyi did not speak at this moment.

This is also not his fault. What Ao Ziye did this time truly brought shame to the family. As the future successor, if he were to act foolishly in this matter, his position would be unstable.

When Ao Ziye saw that his elder brother did not speak, he shivered all over and suddenly realized something.

He lowered his head silently and said with difficulty.

"I accept the punishment!"

The members of the Elder Council gave him a cold glance, then had him stand aside.

After Ao Ziye stepped aside, a person stood up in the Elder Council.

He is the Fifth Elder of the Ao Family.

The Fifth Elder looked at Ao Ziyi and said:

"Ziyi, what do you think of this matter?"

Ao Ziyi took a deep breath, stood up, and said:

"I have two suggestions."

"For the Elders’ reference."

"Oh, let’s hear it."

Ao Ziyi said solemnly:

"The first suggestion is ’peace’."

"The Ao Family’s conflict with Zhou Yu is not deep, so now we should directly apologize, try to befriend him. Based on my research on Zhou Yu during this period, he is likely to agree."

As soon as Ao Ziyi finished speaking, an Elder immediately rejected it.

"’Peace’ is impossible now."

"Although the Ao Family doesn’t have much conflict with Zhou Yu, there is an unresolved feud with the Hucheng Martial Pavilion."

"These feuds will erupt one day, and by then, that kid will only become stronger, putting the Ao Family at a disadvantage."

"Yes, indeed."

Many Elders spoke in support of this view.

Seeing this situation, Ao Ziyi continued:

"Since ’peace’ is impossible, then the only option is ’war’."

"We must eliminate him."

Ao Ziyi is a figure of authority. He spoke decisively, without any hesitation.

"Exactly."

An Elder praised him, saying.

"This should be so decisive."

"Ziyi, do you have any specific ideas?"

Ao Ziyi’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

"To resolve Zhou Yu, we must first eliminate internal threats."

"Dealing with external matters requires first settling internal ones!"

"Oh?"

"Ziyi, who are you referring to?"

Ao Ziyi responded coldly:

"Zhao Da!"

"Zhao Da?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"According to my investigation, since Zhou Yu arrived in Hu City, Zhao Da has provided him with a lot of information. There is an unspeakable relationship between them."

"That wretched woman, she might have already been ruined by Zhou Yu."

Ao Ziyi said venomously.

"So, before dealing with Zhou Yu, we must deal with her first."

Hearing Ao Ziyi’s words, several junior Elders showed hesitation.

After all, Zhao Da is only a collateral member of the Ao Family.

Is it really necessary to take action against her?

But soon, everyone reached a consensus.

After all, this matter is of great importance and not a single mistake can be afforded.

"Agree!"

The Elders quickly agreed with Ao Ziyi’s approach.

Ao Ziyi sneered.

"Then I’ll send someone to bring Zhao Da back first..."

"Then, I’ll contact the Han Family and the Zhu Family to deal with Zhou Yu together."

"Good, let’s do it this way!"

The Ao Family quickly reached a consensus.
