Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1721 - 1712: Zhou Tianmie

"Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Tianmie!"

At the moment when everyone sensed that aura emanating from within the Zhou Family, their faces couldn’t help but change.

Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Tianmie is one of the rare Quasi-Reverse Life Realm experts within this Linglong Holy City!

Such a figure, even when looking across the Ten Thousand Realms, is enough to stand at the pinnacle of power.

Unexpectedly, as today’s matter escalated, even Zhou Tianmie was alarmed to emerge.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Everyone within the Zhou Family simultaneously bowed in reverence, especially the Great Elder Zhou Tiansheng and others, whose faces displayed an indescribable excitement.

Today, with Mo Wangchen bullying his way to their doorstep, the Zhou Family lost face, and even their Saint Heir was defeated. If the Zhou Family cannot suppress Mo Wangchen, they will undoubtedly become the laughingstock among the other great clans in this Linglong Holy City in the future. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The appearance of the Ancestor could restore everything. Even if Mo Wangchen is strong, if he hasn’t reached Reverse Life, he is destined to be suppressed!

"Yun Hai, after so many years, you still have not succeeded in Reverse Life. This is somewhat contrary to my expectations. With today’s defeat, it will inevitably damage your Dao Heart. If you cannot achieve Reverse Life within the next ten years, then stay home and don’t go out."

Zhou Tianmie swept up from the depths of the Zhou Family, coming into mid-air. His voice was somewhat aged but carried an inexplicable power that shook everyone’s spirit.

"What the Ancestor says is true, Yun Hai will remember."

Zhou Yunhai dared not show the slightest defiance. The Ancestor had sought a higher realm and had been in seclusion for almost a hundred years, not appearing until now.

And today, in the battle with Mo Wangchen, he was defeated. This is the Ancestor’s punishment for him; if he does not achieve Reverse Life in ten years, he shall not take a step out of the Zhou Family.

All along, regardless of whom, the Ancestor has always been this strict.

"Little friend, coming to my Zhou Family to cause trouble, minor disputes could be ignored, yet you insist on pursuing it to the end. Isn’t this somewhat excessive bullying?"

Zhou Tianmie’s gaze swept over the crowd, finally resting on Mo Wangchen. He spoke lightly, yet his voice clearly reached everyone’s ears in the venue.

This is a nearly invincible Reverse Life Great Power of the current age. Long ago, in a time unknown how many ten-thousand years ago, he had already been a formidable force, arriving in this Linglong Holy City in his later years, establishing a foothold for the Zhou Family to thrive.

Until today, no one had dared, like Mo Wangchen, to cause trouble at the Zhou Family’s door, let alone consecutively injure several clan members.

"As for right or wrong, it was your Zhou Family’s mistake first. In Guangwu City, Zhou Yunrong injured my friend. My visit today is merely to seek justice for my friend. However, your Zhou Family, thinking themselves a great clan, has no intention of bowing down, relying on strength to bully the weak. Is this the usual practice of your Zhou Family?"

Mo Wangchen stood his ground, with Green Emperor, Lin Bai, and others behind him. Facing Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Tianmie, he gave no extra courtesies.

"Wow..."

Upon his words, the entire audience was shocked. The implication in Mo Wangchen’s words not only held no reverence for the Reverse Life Realm expert, but also carried a tone of ridicule, which was deemed unacceptable by everyone.

Even if the Zhou Family was indeed wrong at first, in front of a Reverse Life Realm expert, as juniors, one should invariably hold a heart of respect.

"Ancestor, this person is so arrogant, leaving our Zhou Family disregarded. In my opinion, he should be immediately suppressed and confined within our Zhou Family for a thousand years!" Great Elder Zhou Tiansheng was the first to speak. Zhou Yunrong was his grandson, so naturally, he couldn’t let Zhou Yunrong face disgrace and apologize to Zhao Yiran.

That would not only disgrace himself as a grandfather, but more importantly, it would be a matter of the Zhou Family’s honor.

"Where is Yunrong?"

However, Zhou Tianmie paid no attention to Zhou Tiansheng, instead, after a brief silence, he scanned the Zhou Family clan members below.

"An... Ancestor, I am here."

Zhou Yunrong, somewhat trembling in heart, eventually stepped out from the crowd, unaware of why the Ancestor suddenly called him.

But following the Ancestor’s consistently strict style, it was unlikely to be anything good.

"You tell us, what exactly caused the dispute in Guangwu City?"

Zhou Tianmie wore a thin cloth garment, appearing unremarkable as if merely a solitary elderly man among mortals. Yet on his body, the Reverse Power that couldn’t be fully concealed was faintly spreading, letting everyone know this was a nearly invincible Reverse Life expert of the current age.

"It was..."

Zhou Yunrong dared not conceal or lie, and could only recount the events of that day to their entirety. As for right or wrong, it would need the Ancestor to personally judge.

"According to the rules of the Rebellious God Linglong Tower, it is naturally the strong who enter first. Zhao Yiran’s strength far surpasses your brother’s; this is undeniable. After gaining the right to enter, whoever he wishes to give the spot to, outsiders have no say. This has always been one of the rules of the Linglong Tower. Yet, out of spite, you acted against Zhao Yiran with eighth-stage God Realm cultivation, bullying the weak not only shames the Zhou Family, but more importantly, the Linglong Tower’s rules are personally stipulated by the Realm Lord. Your overstepping action has already offended the Realm Lord."

After listening to Zhou Yunrong’s full description, Zhou Tianmie spoke in this manner.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunrong’s face turned ashen. The meaning in the Ancestor’s words was obviously clear; all mistakes were due to himself.

Moreover, this matter even involved the level of the Realm Lord...

This was clearly no longer just about the Zhou Family’s honor. On a large scale, if mishandled, it would be akin to desecrating the Realm Lord!

"I will seal your cultivation for a hundred years, and during that time, you may not step out of the Zhou Family. Do you accept?" Zhou Tianmie fixed his gaze on Zhou Yunrong as he spoke.

"I... dare not refuse!"

Zhou Yunrong seemed to have weakened significantly; having his cultivation sealed for a hundred years meant that after this period, regardless of further cultivation, no progress would be possible.

Being stagnant in strength for a hundred years is a dreadful punishment for anyone. A hundred years is enough for his peers to leave Zhou Yunrong far behind.

Seeing Zhou Yunrong dare not object, Zhou Tianmie nodded, finally turning his gaze back to Mo Wangchen. "Regarding Yunrong, I have already imposed punishment. The explanation, as you asked for, my Zhou Family has given. Now, let’s talk about your injuring of my Zhou Family’s Saint Heir, Great Elder, and others. What explanation will you give my Zhou Family for this matter?"

"I do not believe I owe your Zhou Family any explanation." Mo Wangchen said calmly. He also realized the Zhou Family wouldn’t let today’s matter rest easily, concerning their honor.

However, what does their honor have to do with him?
