Chapter 2008

Hearing what the old woman said, Yang Kai nodded and said, “That would be the best.”

Although his attitude towards the Dao Source Fruit was dispensable, it was not the same for other Void King Realm martial artists. Once the news spread, I’m afraid countless Void King Realms would pursue and intercept him, and it was even very likely to attract the shot of Dao Source Realm powerhouses.

Although the Dao Source Fruit was useless to Dao Source Realm powerhouses, which Dao Source Realm powerhouse didn’t have their own juniors and descendants？

The old woman said again, “Little brother, if you don’t give up, you might as well stay in my Zhang family for a few days so that I can fulfill my duty as a host.”

Yang Kai frowned and thought for a while, feeling that it might be inappropriate for him to leave now. Although he didn’t have any friendship with this Zhang family, after all, he had some agreements with Zhang Gaoxuan. Now that the Zhang family was facing a crisis, if he left, in case that Lu Baichuan brought people to kill again, this widowed family was afraid that they would be powerless to resist.

It would be better to take this opportunity to let them put forward their requests, so as to relieve one of his concerns.

Just as he was thinking like this, a strange sound suddenly came to his ears.

“What sound is that？” The beautiful woman’s expression moved, and she listened intently.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “It seems to be the sound of gongs and drums.”

The beautiful woman was stunned, looking completely blank. But the old woman seemed to have thought of something and stood up abruptly, shouting angrily in a deep voice, “Lu Baichuan, you little bastard, you’re going too far！”

Although Lu Baichuan’s cultivation was higher than hers, the old woman’s seniority was one generation higher than Lu Baichuan’s, so there was no problem in scolding him like this.

The beautiful woman’s complexion changed and she said, “Could it be that old thief…”

The old woman glanced at the young girl who had been standing beside her and serving her wholeheartedly, gently patted the back of her hand with her hand, and said, “Don’t be afraid. Great-grandmother is here. If the Lu family wants to rob you, great-grandmother won’t agree.”

That young girl was also very obedient. Although she also vaguely knew what was going on, her expression didn’t show much panic. Instead, she shook her head and said in a low voice, “Great-grandmother, if Ruoxi can withstand disasters and eliminate calamities for the family, then let Ruoxi go.”

“What nonsense are you talking about！” The old woman snorted coldly and pounded her cane heavily. “Your grandfather, your father and brother all died at the hands of the Lu family. The enmity between the Lu family and our Zhang family is irreconcilable. How could great-grandmother push you into the fire pit? Don’t worry. Great-grandmother will definitely keep you safe today.”

As they talked like this, Yang Kai immediately understood that the young girl who had been serving the old woman was the Zhang Ruoxi that the Lu family wanted.

Before, Yang Kai had used his spiritual idea to investigate her cultivation. She was only at the First-Order Saint King Realm not even reaching the Void Return Stage. Her cultivation was pitifully low. And looking at her age, she was probably around fourteen or fifteen years old. At such an age and with such cultivation, it was actually very common in the Star Boundary.

Moreover, although she was pretty and charming, she was not some that brought disaster to the country and the people and distorted the appearance of all beings. He didn’t know what was so special about her that could make the Lu Family so concerned.

Or perhaps, she was simply a pawn randomly chosen by the Lu Family to annex the Zhang Family.

Yang Kai’s frowned slightly, and a bit didn’t understand.

Just at this moment, the old woman turned her gaze towards Yang Kai and said solemnly, “Little brother, this old woman has an impolite request…”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “Old Madam, please speak.”

The old woman said, “Little brother, your cultivation is not bad, but the cultivation realm of Lu Baichuan is comparable to yours. If you really fight, it will be of no benefit to you. This old woman doesn’t ask you to kill this person to avenge and avenge for my Zhang Family. I just want to ask you to step forward and protect my Zhang Family’s safety this time. This old woman will be extremely grateful!

“Is this considered a request？” Yang Kai asked with a smile.

“Exactly！” The old woman nodded seriously. The middle-aged beautiful woman and Zhang Ruoxi also looked at Yang Kai, their faces full of pleading. After all, the two with the highest cultivation in the Zhang family at the moment were only at the First-Order Void King Realm. Moreover, the old woman herself was severely injured due to the last use of the secret technique and now simply had no ability to contend with the Lu family.

If Yang Kai let go and ignored them, then the Zhang family would really be in great trouble this time.

But Lu Baichuan’s cultivation was the same as Yang Kai’s. They also couldn’t be sure if Yang Kai could really fulfill the agreement with Zhang Gaoxuan and come forward to protect the Zhang family. After all, which martial artist would be willing to offend an existence of the same realm as himself for no reason？

For a while, they were extremely uneasy in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to say much.

“This request…” Yang Kai smiled lightly, making the hearts of the three people in the main hall rise to their throats. “I can agree！”

The old woman suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and the beautiful woman and the maiden also felt a relaxation in their hearts. Their two pairs of beautiful eyes were full of gratitude.

“However, old madam, I happen to be in the Zhang family this time and can protect your safety once. But what if I’m not in the Zhang family next time？ What if the Lu family sends people to cause trouble again？ I can’t always live here.” Yang Kai said lightly.

The old woman frowned and sighed solemnly, “We can only take one step at a time.”

Yang Kai said in a deep voice, “Didn’t old madam ever think of cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots？”

“Eradicate the roots！” The old woman’s seemingly turbid eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in a concentrated voice, “Little brother, do you have the confidence？ The Lu family has a large number of people, not just Lu Baichuan alone.”

“We can give it a try！” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and said.

The old woman was stunned, looked Yang Kai up and down, as if she wanted to re-examine him. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “If this can really be done, then the entire Zhang family will regard little brother as a benefactor. We will offer a stick of incense morning and evening and kowtow three times dawn and dusk to pray for the heavens to protect little brother for a lifetime of peace.

“That’s not necessary.” Yang Kai smiled and said, “However, we have to discuss the conditions again.”

“Conditions？” The old woman was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. “I don’t know what little brother wants？ I’m afraid there is nothing in my Zhang family that can catch your eye.”

“Old lady, you misunderstood. I don’t want anything.” Yang Kai waved his hand. “It’s just that doing this also has certain risks for me, and I don’t like being bound by any agreements. Well, if I can really eradicate the Lu family, then my previous agreement with Brother Zhang will be considered completed, and in the future, you don’t mention any more requests to me. How about it？”

“Little brother means…” The old woman fell into thought.

“Either, I will protect your safety this time, which is considered fulfilling one of your requests, and you still have two chances to make requests to me. Or, I will avenge you and consider fulfilling the three requests together. You can choose for yourself.”

The old woman heard this and said joyfully, “Naturally, this old woman will choose the second option. If little brother can really take revenge for my Zhang family and there will be no need to trouble you in the future, it can be regarded as you fulfilling the agreement with Gao Xuan. Not only that, but this old woman will also have a generous reward for you.”

“Alright, then it’s a deal.” Yang Kai chuckled and got up in a great mood, saying, “You just wait for the good news.”

As he spoke, he had already walked towards the door.

“Little brother, this concubine will cover you！” The middle-aged beautiful woman volunteered.

After her words fell, Yang Kai’s figure flickered and disappeared without a trace.

“Quickly help me out to take a look.” The old woman stood up excitedly and said to Zhang Ruoxi beside her. The latter quickly helped the old woman and walked out in a hurry.

Outside the Zhang family manor, it was extremely lively.

A team, beating gongs and drums, came to the gate of the manor mightily. There were also eight people carrying a bridal sedan chair, and many boxes covered with red cloth.

Such a team was obviously used for welcoming the bride, and the things in those boxes were naturally betrothal gifts.

And at this moment, this team stopped outside the manor. The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache, looking about forty-something years old. His eyes were bright, and his whole body’s aura was profound. He actually had the cultivation base of the third level of the Void King Realm.

Behind this middle-aged man, there was another young man. Wearing a big red wedding robe, he stood there with a smile. His cultivation was not high, only at the Third-Order Saint King Realm. He was not very old either, around sixteen or seventeen years old. With a face full of joy, he seemed rather dizzy with happiness.

The wedding procession was confronting the widows and orphans of the Zhang family.

The people of the Zhang family looked at the mustached man and the young man in the big red wedding robe behind him with flaming eyes. Their expressions were angry, and the power in their bodies was constantly churning, but they dared not act rashly because of the gap in strength.

“Lu Baichuan, you still have the nerve to come to my Zhang family!” The fat martial artist who had previously attacked Yang Kai gritted his teeth and shouted at the mustached man “In vain, the Zhang family and your Lu family have been on good terms for generations. But you have such a wolfish ambition and cruel means, killing the disciples of my Zhang family. If this is not avenged, I swear I will not be a man!

Lu Baichuan gently looked at the fat martial artist and said, “Little, I am here to welcome the bride today, so I will not bother with you for now. Let Aunt Cheng come out and talk.”

“You still have the nerve to call Aunt Cheng？” The thin martial artist couldn’t help but sneer. “Lu Baichuan, I’ve really learned something today. I just found out that the faces of you Lu family people are even thicker than the city wall. Admire, admire.”

“Little brat courting death!” Lu Baichuan was at least a Void King 3-layer Realm powerhouse. Being taunted face-to-face by two younger generations in the Returning Void Mirror, how could he endure it? Immediately, he angrily shouted: “In the front of whom are you calling yourself? Have no respect for elders!

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed towards the thin martial artist.

The thin martial artist’s face changed drastically. He desperately urged his own Saint Yuan and force field and at the same time, rapidly retreated, wanting to avoid Lu Baichuan’s blow.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t urge his own strength.

The strength gap between the Returning Void 1-layer Realm and the Void King 3-layer Realm was simply too great. To put it bluntly, Lu Baichuan could crush the thin martial artist to death with just a random finger.

Seeing that the hand was about to grab his head, the thin martial artist suddenly shouted ed with a crazy expression: “Lu Baichuan, even if I die today, I won’t make it easy for you!”

As he spoke, he actually pinched the spirit formula, and the strength suppressed in his body suddenly fluctuated.

“Self-detonation?” Lu Baichuan twitched at the corner of his eye, and he coldly snorted: “In the front of me, you still want to self-detonate? Well, since today is Tao’er’s big happy day, there should be some added joy.Brat, take your life!

With a flick of his big hand, it actually instantly turned into a black curtain covering the sky, enveloping the thin martial artist within it.

The thin martial artist’s face immediately turned ashen and he looked horrified. He discovered that it was already a bit too late for him to self-detonate at this moment.

And right at this moment, the thin martial artist suddenly noticed a point of light blasting out from the black curtain that had shielded him and then it shattered like a mirror. At the same time, the pressure exerted on his body suddenly disappeared.

Overjoyed, he stomped his feet continuously, not retreating but advancing instead. At the same time, the power within his body became violent and chaotic, showing a great posture of about to explode immediately.
