A temporary transfer point hundreds of kilometers away from Liyue City.

Not far from the transfer point is the location of the Cursed Forest.

Decades ago, this transfer station was quite lively, not as deserted as it is now, but because no one could conquer the Cursed Forest for many years, and with the death of a large number of professionals who came to conquer it.

This transfer station gradually became abandoned.

Finally, this ownerless secret realm was forcibly sold to the Zhou family by the Zhi family many years ago.

At that time, the Zhou family paid a considerable price for this transaction. It was also ridiculed by countless people for a long time. But in fact, the Zhou family did not want to accept this transaction at that time.

But the object of the transaction was the Zhi family, and the Zhou family did not dare to offend, so they could only swallow this loss silently.

For this reason, the Zhou family held their breath in their hearts and wanted to completely conquer this ownerless secret realm, which made the Zhi family regret it.

Unfortunately, until today, the Zhou family has spent a lot of manpower and material resources intermittently, but still has no way to deal with this ownerless secret realm.

At this time, outside the transfer station, stood a small group of young professionals, a total of four people, two men and two women.

Opposite these people, Zhou Yi was looking at them with a smile.

At this time, a tall and strong man with long hair and a somewhat arrogant face complained to Zhou Yi impatiently:

"Master Wu, how long will it take?"

Zhou Yi is the fifth in the Zhou family, so most people who know him call him Master Wu.

After hearing Yang Jian's question, Zhou Yi said with a warm smile:"Yang Jian, be patient, I have invited a master to help you this time."

"Master? Master Wu, you are getting more and more confused, right? The Cursed Forest has a level limit, and masters can't enter it."

Zhou Yi said with a smile:"Don't worry, that master is only level 95"

"Level 95? Can you be called a master?" Yang Jian said with disdain.

At this time, not only Yang Jian, but also the other three people behind him looked at Zhou Yi in surprise.

Among them, a tall, long-haired woman with fair skin could not help but curiously asked after Yang Jian finished speaking:"Fifth Master, although the Cursed Forest is a secret realm of levels 90 to 120, if only people over level 90 enter, I'm afraid it won't be able to play any role." The woman's name is Zhou Wan, the latest generation of the Zhou family, and Zhou Yi's direct descendant.

So her words were relatively euphemistic, but the other two were straightforward, and they also echoed Zhou Wan after she finished speaking.

"Sister Wan'er is right. What do you think, Master Wu? He is still level 95 at this point. Isn't he a waste?"

"Yes, Fifth Master, although it is difficult to find professionals who are willing to enter the Cursed Forest, you can't just find someone to make up the numbers. This one is not good. Not only will it not be of any help, but it will also drag everyone down."

Listening to the questions of several people, Zhou Yi was not angry.

No wonder they thought so.

After all, even if it was a newcomer who entered last year, it would be impossible for him to be only level 95 after a year.

Zhou Yi knew the reactions of several people, but he was not in a good position to reveal the true identity of the newcomer.

That would not only offend the other party, but also make the Zhou family targeted by the eight major families.

So, Zhou Yi could only say vaguely:"Don't think so much, can I harm you?"

Zhou Wan and the other two heard Zhou Yi's words. Although they didn't know what Zhou Yi was up to, they didn't think much about it.

The three of them were the direct descendants of the Zhou family and they still trusted Zhou Yi very much.

However, Yang Jian, who was in the lead, didn't think so. He frowned and said:

"Fifth Master, I will lead the team in the Cursed Forest this time. I am absolutely capable of protecting Wan'er and the other three. Why do you have to bring another burden in? If something unexpected happens, I will not be responsible."

"Or do you not trust me?"

"Yang Jian, look at what you said, how could I not trust you? I am quite satisfied with you, and I can't wait to recruit you into my Zhou family."

Zhou Yi looked at Yang Jian and had a headache.

Yang Jian was not originally from his Zhou family. He was brought here by his resentful cousin Zhou Dafu a month and a half ago.

Yang Jian entered the world of immortality last year. Now, a year has passed and his level has reached 120.

This upgrade speed cannot be said to be fast, but it is definitely not slow.

After all, the other party has no background. It is not an easy thing for him to reach level 120 in a year by his own efforts.

If it were not for the high difficulty of the fourth-level task, with Yang Jian's leveling speed, it is estimated that he should be almost level 150 now.

Zhou Dafu brought him here because he was interested in Yang Jian's level.

After all, the highest level to enter the Cursed Forest is level 120. A high level naturally means a stronger combat power and a higher success rate of the strategy.

But at this point in time, it is not easy to find a level 120 professional with strong ability.

After all, those who are capable have already exceeded level 120 early.

And those who meet the level obviously, most of them The remaining 10,000 people are all incompetent.

If Yang Jian had not been dragged down by the fourth-level task, he would definitely not be at this level.

And with Yang Jian's talent, it is only considered average.

But this is already the relatively best professional that the Zhou family can find.

Otherwise, Zhou Dafu would not have promised Yang Jian that he would help him conquer the Cursed Forest for two months, and then he would help Yang Jian complete the fourth level regardless of success or failure.

This is what made Yang Jian reluctantly agree.

Although Zhou Yi was a little unimpressed by Yang Jian's self-righteous bad temper, after all, this guy had led the team into the Cursed Forest many times in the past month and a half, and he was able to come out alive every time.

This alone proves that Yang Jian is indeed quite capable.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was thinking about how to appease Yang Jian.

When he heard Zhou Yi's words, Yang Jian snorted indifferently, and then turned to look at Zhou Wan behind him.

When he saw Zhou Wan's beautiful face, a touch of heat flashed in his eyes

"Fifth Master, I actually admire the Zhou family very much. If there is a chance, I would naturally be willing to work for the Zhou family."

Although Yang Jian did not say this explicitly, his actions and eyes, anyone who is not a fool can tell what he means.

As for Zhou Wan, after hearing Yang Jian's words, her eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled slightly.

A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

However, in the end, she did not say anything.

Instead, the younger girl who looked a bit like Zhou Wan, after hearing Yang Jian's explicit words, her eyes were somewhat excited.

""Wow! Sister Wan'er, is Yang Jian confessing his love?"

On the other side, the boy who looked rather dull laughed and said,"Brother Jian is quite capable, Sister Wan'er might consider it."

When Zhou Wan heard what the two said, her beautiful eyes glared and she whispered,"Both of you shut up."

Seeing this, Yang Jian on the side had a smug smile on his face. He thought

Zhou Wan was just being shy.

After all, he was so outstanding that he could take the initiative to say this, which was extremely lethal to a girl like Zhou Wan.

He didn't believe that Zhou Wan would not be convinced by him.

But Zhou Yi on the side couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.

Just when he wanted to say something, a voice came abruptly.

""Sorry, I took the wrong road and am late."

The sudden voice made everyone turn their eyes to the back of Zhou Yi.

Then they saw a young man with a strange mask on his face appear behind Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked back and immediately recognized that the young man with the mask was Ye Xiao. He smiled warmly and said:

"It’s okay, we just arrived too."

The three Zhou family members behind Yang Jian couldn’t help rolling their eyes when they heard Zhou Yi’s words.

Their family member was simply lying. What did he mean by just arrived? They had been waiting here for almost half an hour.

However, they couldn’t refute Zhou Yi, so they didn’t say anything. They just looked at the strange masked man in front of them, who was called a master by Zhou Yi, with curious eyes. However

, their indifference did not mean that everyone did not care.

Yang Jian looked at Zhou Yi’s enthusiastic attitude towards the sudden appearance of the young man, and he was immediately angry.

Although Zhou Yi’s attitude towards him was also the same, This, but in Yang Jian's view, it is reasonable.

After all, he believes that his talent is not bad, but he is stuck on the fourth-level task because of his ordinary background and limited resources.

In his eyes, those so-called favored children of heaven are only ahead of him because of their background and resources.

If he were given the same resources and help, his achievements would never be just like this.

But the master in front of him, who Zhou Yi mentioned, is just a 95-level waste. Why should he have the same treatment as him?

He even dared to make him wait here for half an hour.

Yang Jian became more and more indignant and immediately sneered.

"Fifth Master, your temper is still as good as ever. Are you willing to believe such a poor excuse?"

After saying this, Zhou Yi's face changed slightly.

He knew what kind of temper Ye Xiao had. His cousin had only threatened him a few words, and now his body is not yet completely cold.

How dare you mock him like this? Do you want to die?

However, Yang Jian did not notice Zhou Yi's unnatural expression. Looking at Ye Xiao who suddenly appeared, he spoke again:"I'm sorry, you are not needed for this mission. Go back to where you came from." Ye Xiao, who had just arrived, had not had time to figure out the identities of the people in front of him, and he heard Yang Jian's sarcasm and ridicule, and was a little puzzled.

Then he looked at Zhou Yi who was standing aside.

"What does this mean?"

Zhou Yi hurriedly explained

"This is the helper my cousin found a month and a half ago. He is a very good young man who has entered the Cursed Forest three times and is very familiar with the terrain inside."

After a pause, Zhou Yi continued:"It is normal for young people to be a little arrogant."

Ye Xiao suddenly realized and expressed his understanding.

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Zhou Yi was very concerned about the Cursed Forest, so he naturally didn't want them to have a conflict at this time.

Ye Xiao didn't need to be mentioned. According to the information collected by the Zhou family, he killed five fifth-turn black-clothed deacons of the Zhao family alone. Just based on this record, even if Yang Jian in front of him was much higher in level than Ye Xiao, he might not be able to withstand a single move in front of him.

But after all, Yang Jian had come back alive from the Cursed Forest three times in a row, and no one knew the situation in the Cursed Forest better than him.

With him, the success rate of this strategy for the Cursed Forest would be much higher.

Zhou Yi naturally didn't want the two to have a conflict, so he could only try to mediate in the middle.

After seeing Ye Xiao nod, Zhou Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao with a different eye.

He is worthy of being a guy who can still live well after competing with the Zhao family. Just this kind of heart is extraordinary.

However, Zhou Yi's sigh in his heart was not over yet.

Ye Xiao suddenly spoke

"I am also a young man, shouldn’t I have a temper too?"

Zhou Yi’s face froze, and he said with a smile:"He is only level 120, a newcomer last year, there is no need to be angry with him."

Ye Xiao didn't say anything after hearing this, but Yang Jian was the first to quit.

What do you mean by just level 120?

What do you mean by not getting angry with him? What

Zhou Yi meant by that, was he treating him as an ignorant child?

Yang Jian was secretly angry.

In the past month, all the Zhou family members he met were polite to him.

Although the Zhou family is not as good as the eight great families, and even some second-rate families are not as good. But no matter what, it is still a big force.

At least it is hundreds of times stronger than the small forces that Yang Jian has come into contact with in the past.

And such a force is so respectful to him.

This made Yang Jian's heart gradually swell up.

Just like what he said to Zhou Wan in front of Zhou Yi just now, according to his qualifications, there is no problem. He even thought that he could look up to Zhou Wan, and it was the Zhou family who climbed up.

However, he, such a master with unlimited potential, was actually ridiculed by a waste of only level 95.

And Zhou Ye, who has always been polite and respectful to him, actually belittled himself for this waste. How could Yang Jian bear it?

"Boy, I was so polite to you because you were someone that Fifth Master had sent. Fifth Master praised you, but you really think you are so important? You are only level 95, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"

"Now, I'll give you a chance. Kneel down before me and admit your mistake. I'll consider letting you go."

"Remember, you only have one chance, don't neglect it, otherwise even the Fifth Master can't protect you."

After saying that, Yang Jian actually turned back and looked at Zhou Wan with pride.

He looked as if he was showing off his ability and importance to Zhou Wan.

However, he didn't notice that after he said this, Zhou Yi's face immediately became extremely ugly.

What do you mean even the Fifth Master can't protect you? This is the Zhou family's territory.

Isn't this a slap in the face of Zhou Yi?

Zhou Yi couldn't help but curse Yang Jian in his heart as an idiot.

Who is Ye Xiao? That's Ye Ying, who fought against the eight major families. You are a nobody, how dare you be so arrogant and want others to kneel down and kowtow to you?

Are you crazy?

Sure enough, just as Zhou Yi thought, Ye Xiao also spoke at this time.

However, compared with Yang Jian's arrogance, Ye Xiao's tone seemed very flat.

"This person doesn't seem to take your Zhou family seriously, does he?"
