Chapter 2012

After listening to Lu Baichuan’s explanation, Yang Kai finally understood the whole story.

According to what he said, this Empty Spirit Jade Disk was the dowry of a woman from the Zhang family two hundred years ago. After it was brought to the Lu family, the strong experts of the Lu family at that time also studied its use many times but found nothing. They only knew that this thing was extremely strong.

The head of the Lu family at that time also made some veiled inquiries to the head of the Zhang family and found that the Zhang family also didn’t seem to know the use of this Empty Spirit Jade Disk. They only regarded it as a rare refiners material and then used it as a dowry and brought it into the Lu family.

The head of the Lu family really believed it and then took the Empty Spirit Jade Disk to look for some masters Youdaoplaceholder0 to refine a secret treasure. Unfortunately, those refiners masters couldn’t even melt this rare “refiner material” and they couldn’t even tell its type and origin.

Since then, this Empty Spirit Jade Disk has been hidden in the secret treasury of the Lu family – until the generation of Lu Baichuan.

“How did you discover its use and even be able to spy out the cultivation method of spatial power from it？” Yang Kai immediately became interested.

“This matter is also a coincidence.” Lu Baichuan smiled bitterly and continued, “More than ten years ago, when I was cultivating in this secret room, I accidentally found that this Empty Spirit Jade Disk actually had some energy fluctuations. At that time, I was suspicious and went to investigate, but I didn’t find any useful information. Moreover, it returned to its original state after a while. At that time, I also thought it was just an illusion and didn’t take it to heart.”

“After half a year, it had a reaction again. When I checked it for the second time, I realized that the previous time was not an illusion. This time, it lasted for a not short period, but unfortunately, there was still no gain. Another two years later, it had a reaction for the third time and lasted for a full month. And it was at that time that I learned its name and also glimpsed a hint of the cultivation method of spatial power from it.”

“So tortuous？” Yang Kai looked at Lu Baichuan with suspicion on his face.

“I definitely dare not deceive. This is indeed what happened.” Lu Baichuan said quickly.

Yang Kai nodded: Continue. I really want to know why the ethereal jade jade has a reaction from time to time, and the time is not fixed.

Lu Baichuan smiled bitterly： “My thoughts at that time were the same as yours, little brother. Since I got a hint of the cultivation method from it and also knew its general use, naturally I was not willing to miss this opportunity. Later, after careful investigation, I finally found out. The reason it has a reaction is because a person came to my Lu family and was a guest in my Lu family.”

“Which person?” A flash of polished light appeared in Yang Kai’s eyes.

The corner of Lu Baichuan’s mouth twitched： “It’s a little girl from the Zhang family…”

Yang Kai frowned. Soon, as if thinking of something, he said： “Zhang Ruoxi？”

“It’s her.” Lu Baichuan nodded and explained, “Every time the ethereal reacts this little girl is in my Lu family and not too far away from the secret vault. If the first and second times were just coincidences, then the third time must be because of her. Because that time, she really lived in my Lu family for a month. After she left, the ethereal jade returned to silence. After Lu Mou had this speculation, he paid attention to it from then on. Sure enough since then, every time the little girl from the Zhang family comes to my Lu family, the ethereal jade will have some reactions. And as she grows older the reaction of the jade seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Lu Mou has no talent in spatial power. The reason why he was able to cultivate the spatial secret needle is also thanks to this jade.

“That little girl actually has an induction with this thing？” Yang Kai was also a little Stunned .

Generally speaking, there are only two explanations for such a situation. One is that Zhang Ruoxi has some special constitution that can cause the reaction of the ethereal jade disc. The second is that Zhang Ruoxi has the blood power of the great power who refined the ethereal jade.

However, Yang Kai has met Zhang Ruoxi and didn’t find anything special about her. Whether she has a special constitution or not still needs to be carefully investigated.

As for the second possibility, it is relatively low. Because if Zhang Ruoxi triggered the ethereal jade due to the power of her bloodline then other people in the Zhang family should also be able to. Unless there is something special awakened in Zhang Ruoxi’s bloodline that has conditions that other people in the Zhang family do not have.

Yang Kai frowned and pondered. Lu Baichuan didn’t dare to act rashly and could only nervously observe his expression.

“So, you let your descendants marry Zhang Ruoxi for the sake of this ethereal jade?” Yang Kai suddenly said.

Lu Baichuan smiled awkwardly and nodded. “That’s right. As long as that little girl is in my Lu family, I will have plenty of time to study the ethereal jade and may not be unable to take another step forward on the path of the power “of space!”

When saying this, Lu Baichuan had a fanatical expression on his face.

However, soon, he became dejected again. Now that he had made a wrong move and lost the whole game, whether his life could be saved depended on Yang Kai’s mood. How could he still hope the future scenery.

“Little brother, I have said everything that should be said. I beg little brother to be merciful and let me go.” Lu Baichuan looked at Yang Kai nervously.

Yang Kai nodded and said with a smile, “This is naturally no problem.”

“Thank you, little brother…” Lu Baichuan was overjoyed and bowed his head to worship, but as soon as the words fell, he suddenly let out a shrill scream. His whole body flew out like a tattered cloth sack, directly hitting the wall. Most of the bones in his body were shattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He fell down limply.

“You…” Lu Baichuan looked at Yang Kai in disbelief, seemingly not expecting that Yang Kai had a smiling face just a moment ago, and the next moment he would attack him so viciously.

“I promised to spare your life, so naturally I won’t kill you. Don’t worry.” Yang Kai continued to smile, “The person who wants to kill you is in the Zhang family.”

But that smile, when imprinted in Lu Baichuan’s eyes, was as terrifying as a devil. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood rushed to his heart and got stuck in his throat. He couldn’t catch his breath for a long time, and directly fainted.

Yang Kai turned around, rolled up the source crystals in the Lu family’s secret treasury, and then took off Lu Baichuan’s spatial ring. Only then did he carry him, open the restriction of the secret treasury, and leisurely fly out.

Cracking the restriction of this secret treasury took Yang Kai a little time. Even with Lu Baichuan’s token in hand, those dozen or so layers of restrictions were not so easy to open.

By the time he flew out of the secret treasury, most of the day had passed.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Yang Kai couldn’t help but be a little surprised and said, “The people of the Lu family really ran away quickly. There isn’t a single one left.”

When Lu Baichuan asked those people of the Lu family to pack up and leave as soon as possible before, Yang Kai was also hiding aside and naturally heard everything. He just didn’t expect their efficiency to be so high.

But it didn’t matter. Yang Kai promised the old woman of the Zhang family to avenge them. Now that Lu Baichuan has been captured alive by him and only has half a life left, the three Void King Realm cultivators who went to the Zhang family are probably in a bad situation at the moment. It can be regarded as completing the task.

Yang Kai has never thought of killing them all. There are three or four hundred people in the Lu family, many of them are the elderly, the weak, women and children. Even if they really stood in front of Yang Kai, Yang Kai couldn’t do it.

So after he noticed that the people of the Lu family had all run away, he didn’t mean to chase after them, but returned along the original path with a clear conscience.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Zhang family’s manor, the blood was all over the ground. The three corpses of the Void King Realm cultivators of the Lu family were lying on the ground, and the death conditions were tragic. Besides these three Void King Realm cultivators, none of the other people who came to welcome the bride escaped. They were all killed by the people of the Zhang family.

The old woman’s face was pale, and her body was covered in blood. It was not known whether it was her own or the enemy’s. The middle-aged beautiful woman also had a somewhat weak breath. The jade hand holding the long sword was trembling slightly. On her beautiful face, there was still bright red blood, adding a touch of beauty.

Both the fat and thin martial artists slumped to the ground. One was covering the blood gushing out from his thigh, and the other was covering his stomach, with blood also flowing out from between his fingers.

In this battle, although the Lu family’s wedding procession was wiped out, many people on the Zhang family’s side were also injured. Fortunately, no one died, so it was an acceptable situation.

The women soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. Every time they passed by the corpses of the Lu family’s martial artists, they would spit hard.

After resting for a while, the middle-aged beautiful woman said, “Mother, Young Brother Yang has been gone for most of the day and has not returned yet. I don’t know what the situation is. I want to go and meet him. What do you think？”

“Okay.” The old woman nodded. “Go ahead, Gong’e. Be careful.”

“Yes.” The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded seriously. She couldn’t wait for herself to recover and was about to rush towards the direction where the Lu family was located.

Just at this time, Zhang Ruoxi suddenly said, “Grandmother doesn’t need to go. It seems that Mr. Yang is back.”

Hearing what she said, the old woman and the middle-aged beautiful woman quickly looked up and indeed saw a figure in the sky over there flying towards this side at high speed.

“Sure enough, he’s back.” The middle-aged beautiful woman felt relieved.

The old woman also smiled and said, “Young Brother Yang has amazing strength. It’s good that he returned safely.”

“Huh, it seems there is still something in his hand… It’s a person…” The middle-aged beautiful woman stared intently. When Yang Kai approached, her delicate body trembled suddenly： “It’s the old thief Lu Baichuan！ Brother Yang has captured the old thief Lu Baichuan.”

“Really?” A flash of sharpness appeared in the old woman’s eyes. She quickly got up and looked over there from a distance. After a while she couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “It’s really that old thief Lu Baichuan. Truly, as the heavens are just, retribution is inevitable. Gao Xuan, my son, if you can know this under the spring, you can rest in peace!

At the end, two tears actually rolled down.

Zhang Ruoxi was supporting the old woman on the side. Her heart was grief, and her eyes also turned red.

A figure flickered in front, and Yang Kai had already landed in front of everyone. He threw the half-dead Lu Baichuan in his hand to the ground and bowed said, “Sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long.”

“Good, good. Thank you, little brother. Our Zhang family is extremely grateful for your great kindness.” The old woman said seriously.

Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “Madam, you’re welcome. I just fulfilled the agreement with Brother Zhang.”

Hearing him mention Zhang Gaoxuan, the old woman’s expression turned gloomy again.

“Cough… I’ve already brought Lu Baichuan back. As for how to deal with him, Madam, you all can discuss it among yourselves.” Yang Kai changed the subject and said.
