Chapters... 140: Attack on the Zhou Clan
Black stone city, Zhou Clan...
Tonight was an important night for all the members of the Zhou Clan, when night fell the Zhou clan would hold a celebration of the founding of the Zhou clan, the long history of the Zhou clan is proof that this clan is not an ordinary clan.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Zhou Clan was just a branch family, who had to deposit once every month.
Starting from the turbulent main clan due to the power struggle, the Patriarch of the Zhou clan took advantage of the tense situation to make the Zhou clan free from the entanglement of the main family.
It was not an easy matter to break away, it took no less than two years just for the Zhou clan to be free from restraint, the movement was done passively, he said, but when a gap was wide open they immediately made every effort.
In the end the main clan surrendered to the Zhou clan, the two sides signed a treaty in which it was written the Zhou clan had been officially independent of the control of the main clan.
Despite having to admit defeat, the main clan did not stay silent, they did all they could to keep the Zhou clan from being accepted by the clan or the family in the capital.
But the resolve of the Zhou clan never wavered, as if freedom was the price of death, they stood without any recognition from the clan or nobles around.
Initially it was no big deal standing without the recognition of another noble clan, but slowly the Zhou clan could no longer move freely, as if they were forced to surrender.
The Zhou clan did not give up, they were increasingly trying, all of their descendants were given precious resources, hoping that one of the descendants of the Zhou clan could talk a lot.
Efforts did not betray the results, in the Empire tournament, where the entire city also participated, one of the Zhou clan youths raised the Zhou clan flag and stood in the top three ranks, one of the Zhou clan youths, making the name of the Zhou clan known to many people.
From then on the Zhou Clan began to get a good response from various parties. Slowly but surely the Zhou clan began to stand upright and even plugged its roots.
The Zhou clan was able to breathe a sigh of relief, although the price to pay since its struggle was not cheap, more than half of the Zhou clan members were killed in their struggle attempt at breaking away from the main clan.
Despite being killed, none of the people who died showed a sorry face before death, they died with smiling faces.
Building a better life for their offspring was a reward for them, despite sending lives to pay. They felt it was still comparable to the smile of his descendants.
From year to year, the Zhou clan that was originally in the capital territory moved to the black stone city for some reason. When they first set foot, they hoped to get a good reception from the local clan.
But reality is not as beautiful as reality, from the beginning of entering the border, they were greeted by thousands of people with each weapon in hand.
The Zhou clan patriarch at that time, famous for being so good at negotiating, he advanced on his own, bowing his body slightly in order to be able to converse with each of the clan patriarchs.
Despite walking around, the two local clans, none other than the Ling clan and the Shui Clan, voted, and agreed to the Zhou clan stay.
Originally the Zhou clan was just a small clan, but slowly the Zhou clan crawled up, and its strength could no longer be underestimated, it could be said to be comparable to the two local great clans.
Then the three formed the Union as three great clans, each of whom was granted territory to manage.
The development of life patterns made the relationship of the three great clans no longer peaceful, although no more than competition, the three always wanted to be better than the others.

A middle-aged woman was sitting in the front yard of her residence, until a familiar voice greeted her.
"Qian'er, why do you look so moody?"
The woman who was none other than Zhou Qian turned her head and found her husband whose head was now on top of his head, clutching his body from behind.
Zhou Qian looked back to the front, then let out a weak breath.
Huft..
"Later tonight is the anniversary of the founding of the Zhou clan, it will definitely be very crowded, if Fan'er can come and be with us, it might be more fun." Zhou Qian said with his eyes closed, implied a longing on his face towards his mere son.
"Maybe he's there having a good time, so he can't remember to come back" Zhou Qian said.
"The Khe.. Khe.. Let him have fun, and he's not a kid who can't protect himself." Zhou Hu twisted his wife's body, making the two face each other and look at each other.
"Even if you say that, it still won't change my view of him, in me, he won't be more than my little son, until at any time it will never change." Zhou Qian turned his face which still looked annoyed.

The night that was waiting finally arrived, the residence of the clan hall looked so crowded with people who put on joyful faces.
"This is the opportunity you're waiting for, isn't it?" exclaimed a young man while nudging the arm of the young man who looked more dashing than him.
"Congratulations, don't you forget me and brother Yu when you become the patriarch of the Zhou clan." Another young man who had just joined welcomed his words.
"What Brother Yi said is very appropriate, at least make us elders of the Zhou clan in the future." Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows.
The laughs of his two friends, then he also laughed.
"Of course, you two have been with me for a long time, of course I will not forget your role towards me." Zhou Han grabbed the shoulders of his two friends.
"Haha..." The three laughed again until someone rebuked him.
"What are you doing here, didn't I say don't wander. If the Patriarch is looking for you and doesn't find you, maybe your wish will only be a hope forever, it won't come true." Simultaneously a middle-aged man came over uninvited.
The three of them gasped in shock, then looked in the same direction.
"Dad?!"
"Uncle?!"
The three exclaimed simultaneously, when they found out who came to him.
"Han'er, you don't get too far away from the patriarch, the last second will be an important consideration for the patriarch. I can only give you a chance, whether you can be a successor, that's the patriarch who determines."
Zhou Kay said with a serious face, he certainly did not want his struggle that always thrust his son in front of the patriarch would be in vain just because of the carelessness of his son.
Some people do not know, along with the celebration of the founding of the Zhou clan will also be announced who is the successor to the patriarch of the Zhou clan.
Only a few people knew about it, one of them was Zhou Kay, who was an elder of the Zhou clan.
.
.

In the hall that already had hundreds of long tables lined up, suddenly silence along with a thunderous loud voice.
"Consideration!"
Everyone then focused their eyes on a white-haired old man who was standing with both hands folded on his back.
His wrinkled face did not obstruct his arrival, as if emitting a huge aura before everyone.
"Night to all of you, it does not feel that the Zhou clan has stood for centuries, we as a generation of the Zhou clan must keep this clan victorious..,"
"In addition to celebrating the founding of the Zhou clan, I as patriarch will say an important announcement. I, Zhou Fei will say who will be my successor ... "
All the members of the Zhou clan instantly stiffened, as if they were hit by an impromptu attack. They stood up with shocked faces again palpitating heart.
Many murmurs there, guessing who would be the patriarch's successor, many guessed it was Zhou Fan, but also not a few voiced Zhou Han.
The tournament a year ago certainly they knew, how great Zhou Fan was, by relying only on himself the young man became number one in the Black Stone city.
But only in that period of time did some people begin to forget him again, some of them thought that Zhou Fan only had an absurd luck, not comparable to the first elder's son.
"Everybody shut up! Give the patriarch time to finish his words." Zhou Kay said loudly, his face no doubt hiding the pleasure, he was very sure that his son would be the successor of the patriarch of the clan.
Instantly the clan hall became silent again, not afraid, but rather out of curiosity who would come out of Zhou Fei's mouth.
"Ehem.. " Zhou Fei cleared his throat slowly, then said.
"That will be my successor... " Zhou Fei paused on purpose, making everyone sweat cold from being too curious.
"Zhu... " Before his mouth said more, a violent explosion occurred not far from where the hall was.
Bhooms!
Instantly the explosion made everyone put on anxious faces, the patriarch and a few others quickly shot to the scene of the explosion.
There he was, his eyes unable to blink, his pupils widened with a sharp look.
"Who are you?!"
