These were the nine surnames of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom. Everyone in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom had one of these nine surnames without exception.

Legend had it that the ancestors of the Zhu Rong Nine Families were nine existences who had followed the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom’s emperor to create the world. They were nine generals under the emperor of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, and they were nine supreme existences below the emperor of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.

Of course, the nine families had been passed down for countless years.

Although they had the same surname, they might not be from the same family. These branches were no longer treated as family by the people of the main family.

This was why the Dong family knights had wantonly killed the people of the Boundary Bridge Village even though they bore the same surname.

Currently, there were still nine families in the Zhu Rong Nine Families. They controlled the entire Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom and were equivalent to the rulers of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.

The Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom was different from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was directly ruled by the Xuan Ming Black Emperor.

But in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, the emperor of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom almost never asked about the matters of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.

Not only that, but no one knew where he was or if he was still around.

Even the heads of the nine families had never come into contact with the emperor of Zhu Rong.

The Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom could be said to be a world where the people were separated distinctly.

Therefore, in a sense, the heads of the nine families of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom were the nine most powerful people in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.

This was also something Zhou Shu had only found out after entering the Dong family head dream.

It was only after knowing this that he understood how big a sheep he had caught.

If not for the fact that the Dong family head had been injured by Wu Gang and had tried to attack Zhou Shu with the Celestial Thearch Sword but was instead ambushed by the sword, under normal circumstances, even if Zhou Shu was at his peak, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to take down the Dong family head.

Moreover, if the Dong family head had been the one who activated the Dong family’s array, it would have been impossible for Zhou Shu to kill him, let alone replace him.

Although the divine ability Myriad Transformations was magical, if the Dong family head didn’t die, even if Zhou Shu transformed into the Dong family head, he would have been easily exposed.

In this situation, Zhou Shu’s luck was heaven-defying. He directly became one of the nine most powerful people in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.

It was precisely because of this that it was so simple for him to do something in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, such as the invitation he had asked Dong Tailai to send out to the other eight families to come to the Dong family.

What is the Dong family trying to do with this invitation?

Somewhere in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, a dignified middle-aged man was holding an invitation in his hand and frowning slightly. Is it because the Dong family has declined, so they want to make their presence known?

The Zhu Rong Nine Families are united. Although the Dong family has declined, I still have to give them face.

Since I have nothing to do recently, I’ll go to the Dong family and see what they want to do.

After the middle-aged man finished thinking, he raised his voice and said, “Men, prepare a carriage and head to the Dong family.”

A response came from outside the hall.

Then countless people got busy.

This scene also happened in several other places in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.

The family heads of the Zhu Rong Nine Families were the supreme heavens in the era when the emperor didn’t appear.

Their traveling entourage was even more grand than those of the emperors of the human race.

Although the Zhu Rong Nine Families were united, they still had some thoughts of fighting each other.

Even powerful martial artists had vanity.

No one could bear to see their entourage smaller than others.

Somewhere in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, an ordinary figure was standing in the crowd and watching a convoy fly by. A strange expression appeared on his face.

In his heart, he didn’t feel envious or wanted to be like them. He only felt like he was looking at a nouveau riche.

Zhou Shu is going to do something big.

This person was Mu Zhixing’s incarnation. Comparisons are odious. I was thinking of robbing them. All he has to do is sit there, and these fools are coming to knocking on his door.

How stupid. You’re coming to knock on his door. It will be strange if Zhou Shu doesn’t deceive you until you’re only left with your underwear!

Mu Zhixing’s eyes flickered. If these family heads leave their family’s headquarters, doesn’t this mean that they’re empty inside? If I steal the divine artifacts of the nine families at this time… Pfft, how can it be considered stealing?

No, how can Zhou Shu not think of what I can think of?

Previously, I tricked him in the Glacial Palace. He’s still holding a grudge. If I abandon him this time and escape with the things, I’ll really make him my enemy.

And with his style, he’s probably prepared. If I go for wool and come home shorn, I’ll be left out in the cold. That won’t be good.

Although Zhou Shu is very infuriating, he’s still quite particular. Under normal circumstances, I won’t suffer a loss if I cooperate with him. He’s even willing to give me the Freedom Transformation Technique, let alone a few divine artifacts. He’s such a conceited person, but he can forge connate divine weapons. He probably won’t be interested in other divine artifacts.

After thinking about it, Mu Zhixing still felt that he should cooperate with Zhou Shu honestly and not play any tricks.

Sigh, I have such a hard life. I have to find forging materials for Zhou Shu. Mu Zhixing, oh Mu Zhixing, endure the humiliation.

Mu Zhixing slipped into the crowd to continue looking for forging materials.

He wanted to gather a batch of forging materials as soon as possible and rush back to the Dong Family Fort to watch the show.

Mu Zhixing was very interested in how the eight biggest fools would be tricked at the Dong family’s.
