Chapter 1069: He’s My Brother-in-Law
After Liu Zixuan and the others finished chatting, the sounds of fighting inside also stopped.
Entering together with the Monkey, they saw three corpses lying at the villa’s entrance. Pushing the door open, they found the villa’s living room in complete disarray; it wasn’t hard to imagine how intense the battle had been.
Of course, the final result was an overwhelmingly one-sided situation. The experts from the Netherworld Hall hiding here were all dead.
Eight burly men came down from the staircase: "Only those two guys are left, trapped upstairs."
Monkey nodded: "Have all the exits been sealed?"
"Not even a fly can get out!" the burly man assured confidently.
Monkey smiled with satisfaction, then turned to Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yunxuan: "You two go up first; I’ll come up to help you in a moment."
Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yunxuan nodded simultaneously, heading straight upstairs.
"Seems I still underestimated the Blood Wolf Guard; I didn’t expect them to handle things so efficiently!" Liu Zixuan said as he walked.
Jiang Yunxuan chuckled proudly: "The Blood Wolf Guard is our Jiang Family’s greatest reliance; there are eight Blood Wolf Guards in total!"
"Eight units?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Isn’t it supposed to be Nine Wolves? There should be nine teams then!"
"That’s a family secret; I don’t know who the last Nine Wolves are either."
Jiang Yunxuan shrugged and kicked the door open.
Suddenly, the figures of Venerable Ghost Nether and a Gu Corpse came into their view.
Venerable Ghost Nether was savoring a glass of red wine with no sign of panic. He seemed completely unafraid.
Seeing Liu Zixuan enter, Venerable Ghost Nether sneered coldly: "I thought it was someone from the Jiang Family coming. Turns out it’s just you two youngsters!"
"You even call him ’master’, then we’re at least at your ’father’ level!" Jiang Yunxuan teased with a laugh.
Crash!
Venerable Ghost Nether immediately smashed the wine glass; "You sharp-tongued little brat!"
"Hmph!"
Jiang Yunxuan snorted coldly: "If your head wasn’t already promised to someone, I’d chop it off right now and play soccer with it!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Ghost Nether’s eyes filled with killing intent as he glanced at Jiang Yunxuan, then turned to Liu Zixuan: "Are you the one who reserved my head?"
"What’s wrong with that?" Liu Zixuan shrugged with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Venerable Ghost Nether laughed disdainfully: "You are truly arrogant. Do you know why I didn’t run away, but stayed here so calmly?"
"Because you’re an idiot!" Liu Zixuan blurted out immediately.
Venerable Ghost Nether angrily glared at him: "Because if someone from the Jiang Family ordered my execution personally, running would be useless. So I might as well stay, but if it’s not someone from the Jiang Family causing trouble, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Saying this, Venerable Ghost Nether spread his hands: "So no matter what, I won’t run away. What surprised me was that it turned out to be you, Liu Zixuan! Indeed, the old saying goes, ’Searching high and low without finding, yet getting it effortlessly!’
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Confident enough to kill me and obtain the rest of the Ghost Gate Needle to extend your life?"
Venerable Ghost Nether was stunned; evidently, he hadn’t expected Liu Zixuan to know about his limited lifespan!
His mouth twitched a few times: "Since you already know, I guess there’s no need to hide it. Yes, I came here for you, or more accurately, for the other Ghost Gate Needles you possess. If I gather all the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, I can cure the backlash from my Ghost Doctor Skill and extend my life!"
As he spoke, Venerable Ghost Nether gave a sinister smile: "That’s why I said ’Searching high and low without finding, yet getting it effortlessly.’ I was just pondering how to lure you out from the Jiang Family, and unexpectedly, you walked right in. Just as well, I can get what I want without offending the Jiang Family."
Liu Zixuan looked at Venerable Ghost Nether with disdain: "I’ve finally realized how ridiculous daydreaming is!"
"Hmph!"
Venerable Ghost Nether snorted coldly: "Do you think that with your Profound Realm strength and your companion’s Innate Emperor Realm First Heaven, you can block me and my Gu Corpse?"
"What if we not only block but also wipe you out?" Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows with a smile.
With Monkey backing him up, Liu Zixuan’s confidence was at its peak, and he showed no fear!
Venerable Ghost Nether mocked with a laugh: "Wipe out? You’re really daring to boast. I’m an Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven, and my Gu Corpse here was originally a body at Acquired Emperor Realm Peak, infused with my venom, making it comparable to the Innate First Heaven! This strong alliance, isn’t it enough to destroy you both?"
"If you can wipe them out, then wouldn’t I still be able to wipe you out?"
At this moment, Monkey leisurely walked in from outside, hands in pockets, exuding an indescribable style!
Venerable Ghost Nether was stunned: "You’re Monkey, one of the Nine Wolves?"
"Wow, I thought nobody in the world knew my name!" Monkey glared at Venerable Ghost Nether and laughed: "I misspoke. You don’t count as human. You’re simply an old toxic mess full of poison!"
Venerable Ghost Nether’s pupils tightened: "What does Liu Zixuan have that would make the Jiang Family protect him so fiercely!"
Back during the Qian Nanliu Association battle, many masters from the Hidden Sect appeared, and Elder Qing from the Profound Sword Sect especially protected Liu Zixuan. Venerable Ghost Nether thought, which was simply that they were afraid the Martial Realm would be swallowed by the Netherworld Hall. Moreover, since Liu Zixuan had stayed at the Profound Sword Sect for a while, they took action to help.
This time, Venerable Ghost Nether knew Liu Zixuan came to the Jiang Family, but he always speculated it was because Liu Zixuan’s cultivation technique was sealed, hoping Jiang Yifan would help him remove the Nether Palm Poison. But he couldn’t understand why the Jiang Family, originally unrelated, would help Liu Zixuan deal with him!
Monkey scoffed and then pointed at Jiang Yunxuan: "Open your eyes and see, this is our Jiang Family’s young master. You ask why the Jiang Family protects them!"
"What!"
Venerable Ghost Nether was instantly dumbfounded, his mouth twitching: "He... how could he be Jiang Yifan’s son? How could Jiang Yifan’s son willingly act as Liu Zixuan’s subordinate?"
"Subordinate my ass!" Jiang Yunxuan cursed immediately: "He’s my brother-in-law!"
"What?" Venerable Ghost Nether was bewildered at first, but now completely at a loss. Liu Zixuan is Jiang Yunxuan’s brother-in-law, which means Liu Zixuan is Jiang Yifan’s son-in-law?
With such background, why would they fear an Innate Emperor Realm Venerable Ghost Nether?
Damn, this time they really stirred up a hornet’s nest!
Monkey squinted and smiled: "Don’t panic, I never said I’d help them kill you. After all, they need to do it themselves!"
Venerable Ghost Nether was confused; if they attacked themselves, wouldn’t it be a death sentence?
But before he could speak, Monkey continued with an innocent smile, adding: "Before they kill you, I have to cripple half of your realm first..."
