Chapter 161: Chapter 161
"Hmph!" Seeing the awestruck gazes around him, Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
With a cold glance, when the crowd saw Zhang Xiaohao’s indifferent eyes, they quickly averted their gazes.
"Let’s go!" Dropping the words, Zhang Xiaohao walked forward with Cheng Qingsu.
"This cheap brother-in-law of mine nearly scared me to death just now. Luckily, I bluffed my way through, otherwise, it would have been disastrous," Cheng Qingsu muttered to herself.
They stopped at a blood-red altar.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced indifferently at the "cocoon" on the altar, then at the corpses around, and withdrew his gaze to move to the next room.
He randomly picked an empty room and entered.
Cheng Qingsu closed the door and, with a lot on her mind, didn’t rush to speak.
Zhang Xiaohao swept the room with his Soul Power to ensure there were no surveillance devices and set up a soundproof barrier with his Soul Power.
"Alright, now we can talk."
"Jerk! You almost scared me to death just now," Cheng Qingsu glared and exclaimed.
"That’s not like you! My sister-in-law is usually fearless and bold, how come you’ve become so timid now?" Zhang Xiaohao teased with a smile.
"Hmph! And you have the nerve to say that! This is their lair. If we were exposed now, wouldn’t all our efforts be wasted?" Cheng Qingsu responded.
"What if we are exposed? Those who dare to kill our Huaxia people, even the Heavenly King can’t escape justice!" Zhang Xiaohao stated sternly.
"Brother-in-law, how did you know that the blonde second brother would not dare to make a move?" Cheng Qingsu asked.
"Are you silly? I hit his woman, and he didn’t even dare to fart, only to spew some words! That shows that the power behind me must be greater than his, great enough to completely crush him," Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"Brother-in-law, both of them are direct descendants of a mysterious family, and moreover, the other guy ranks as the second. Logically, John Sharo’s power shouldn’t be greater than his!" Cheng Qingsu said, puzzled.
"Did your intelligence grow on the moon? Such a simple issue, and you couldn’t figure it out? Although everyone is a direct descendant of their families, John Sharo’s maternal family’s power is definitely greater than the opponent’s! That’s why he dares not speak out," Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes and said.
"Hmph! If my sister knew you talked about her like that, hehe, brother-in-law, what do you think would happen?" Cheng Qingsu chuckled maliciously.
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
As time passed, even while sitting in the room,
Zhang Xiaohao could feel the dense Evil Qi outside and the gradually forming enormous power.
"The big show is about to start, later follow my lead," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Yes, brother-in-law," Cheng Qingsu nodded and said.
"Let’s go! We’re going out!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.
He opened the door and walked out arrogantly with Cheng Qingsu.
"The subordinates greet Third Young Master!" Seeing the disguised John Sharo coming out, the surrounding guards spoke respectfully.
Zhang Xiaohao, with a stern face, walked up to the altar.
Casually placing his hands behind his back, he wore an arrogant demeanor.
Yet his gaze swept over the three elders in white at the forefront, sensing a tremendous aura from them.
Especially the leading elder in white, who was at least of the Control Realm.
The two elders behind him, even if they weren’t of the Control Realm, were at the Peak of Hundred Veins Realm.
Startled inwardly, he thought, what a formidable assembly!
"Third, why don’t you bow when you see the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder?" the blonde second brother demanded coldly.
"Are you daft? Didn’t you see the three elders are mid-prayer? If you disrupted their ceremony, could you bear the consequences?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted.
"You!" the blonde Lao Er said, exasperated.
"Alright, Lao Er, Lao San, normally it’s fine for you to quarrel, but now, at this critical moment of the blood sacrifice, please do not cause more trouble," John Daofu said.
"Hmph! For the sake of my big brother, I will not stoop to your level for now!" the blonde Lao Er snorted coldly.
"Tch! Wang Po selling melons, praising her own melons. You really shamelessly sing your own praises," Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.
His heart tightened. It seemed the redhead in front of him came from a powerful maternal family!
Otherwise, the blonde Lao Er would not be so obedient. It was unclear who held more power when compared to John Sharo’s maternal family.
"All of you, shut up! If anyone speaks again, this elder will revoke your three’s spots!" the Great Elder hissed coldly.
Zhang Xiaohao curled his lips disdainfully and refrained from making more provocative remarks.
The Great Elder gave Zhang Xiaohao a meaningful look but decided not to delve deeper. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Looking at the sinister "cocoon" on the blood-red altar, by now, all the surrounding blood had been completely absorbed.
Mysteriously hovering in midair, streams of blood-red lines flowed out from within it.
Seeing this scene, the Great Elder narrowed his eyes and bellowed, "Begin!"
A flash of cold light, he slit the arteries of both his hands, channeling his own blood into the blood-red cocoon.
The other two elders acted quickly as well.
They cut open their palms and likewise fed their own blood into the blood-red cocoon.
Under the infusion of their blood, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The cocoon floating in the air chirped! In an instant, it sprouted a grape-sized blood-red fruit, from which a dense and mighty energy crazily radiated.
"Continue! Increase the transfusion pressure!" the Great Elder exclaimed excitedly.
He took out a delicate little bottle, uncorked it, and gulped down the Elixir inside it.
The other two elders, not to be outdone, looked as pale as death, as if a gust of wind could knock them over at any moment. They hastily took out a delicate little bottle, opened the cork, and swallowed the Elixir inside.
"Hmph! Dare to harm my man, Lao San, just you wait. Once the blood sacrifice fruit has fully grown and is placed on the altar, watch how I deal with you!" the blonde Lao Er looked at Zhang Xiaohao with a cold glare.
Luckily, Zhang Xiaohao did not know how to read minds. If he knew what the other was thinking,
he would surely have cursed, "Fool! Who the hell is going with you to the altar? Once the blood sacrifice fruit has fully grown, I’m grabbing it and running!"
Sensing someone watching him,
Zhang Xiaohao returned an icy stare and thought to himself, "Keep jumping around for a while; just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
Having absorbed enough blood, the blood-red cocoon sprouted another grape-sized fruit.
The three white-robed elders, like diligent gardeners, popped pills and infused blood, triggering the blood-red "cocoon" on the altar to bloom and bear fruit.
In just five minutes,
the blood-red cocoon had, with their diligent infusions, already produced eighteen grape-sized fruits.
At that moment, the Great Elder’s face turned pale, and he vomited a basin of old blood. He cried out urgently, "What are you three standing around for? We can’t hold on much longer! I now order the three of you, immediately channel your blood here!"
(PS1: Today, my family asked me again when I’m going back to work. The year has passed, and there’s no money left at home. If you don’t find work, there won’t be money for the children’s education soon! I remained silent, smoking two cigarettes. I asked, "Can you give me another chance? Just one month, one month will suffice. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll do whatever you say!" Then she silently walked away. Sharing this isn’t to ask for anything, but just to tell everyone, if you story, please show your support where you can. A recommendation ticket, a reward, might be trivial for you, but for me, they are the motivation to keep going. Every day, other than writing, I constantly check my phone to see if the recommendations or rewards have increased. Seeing that someone has voted or rewarded feels really great! I keep comforting myself, telling myself that this time, you can definitely support yourself by writing!!)
(PS2: Regarding updates, this author writes very slowly. After writing, I still need to edit. Writing one Chapter takes at least three hours! These past few days, a young cousin has taken over my computer, leaving me no time during the day, only at night, battling till four or five in the morning. Once this little relative leaves, I will burst forth with at least three updates a day, maybe even four!)
