Chapter 336: Chapter 336

Zhang Xiaohao opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed by in an instant.

Setting down the electrical wire in his hand, Zhang Xiaohao murmured.

"Still one step short, ah! No matter how hard I try, I just can’t break through the final step! It seems that high voltage electricity is still a bit weaker compared to natural lightning!"

Activating the Netherworld Demon Body, his originally bronze skin turned pitch black.

Like a Demon God emerging from the Netherworld, black light swirled around him, filled with immense power.

Zhang Xiaohao threw a punch, and a series of explosive sounds echoed through the air.

"Not bad! Although I’m still one step short and haven’t completely refined the first layer of the technique, my physical strength has at least doubled! Moreover, both my explosive power and defense have significantly increased! The Netherworld Demon Body truly is a powerful Ancient cultivation technique from the Yellow Wind Sect!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

He stopped channeling the Netherworld Demon Body and put on a set of clean clothes.

Leaving the electrical room, he walked outside.

"Ah! Miracle Doctor Zhang, you’re out!" Ouyang Yu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao.

"The way you look, it’s as if you didn’t want me to come out at all," Zhang Xiaohao teased.

"Haha, I was just teasing you," Zhang Xiaohao waved his hand dismissively, interrupting her.

"Brother Zhang, hello!" Guan Binfei said ingratiatingly.

"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

Without any ceremony, he took the food they had prepared and started eating.

"What’s with those faces? Why the long faces?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.

"I’ve got some bad news for you. Somehow the news about the Ancient ruins has been leaked!" Guan Qingxue said with a cold expression.

"Is that so?" Zhang Xiaohao replied indifferently.

He continued eating his breakfast.

Seeing your reaction, could it be you knew about it beforehand?" Guan Qingxue asked, furrowing her brows.

"Are you dumb? Can’t you use your brain for a moment?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

"I’m asking you, apart from the Guan Martial Hall, have any of the other family branches been wiped out?" inquired Zhang Xiaohao.

"No," replied Guan Qingxue.

"Well, there you have it! The old dog from the Guan Family wants to hog it all for himself, naturally, no one would agree to that! Instead of letting him have it all to himself, it’s better to stir the waters and let everyone fish in troubled waters," Zhang Xiaohao explained.

The chopsticks in Guan Qingxue’s hand were crushed by her grip.

"Damn it!" Guan Qingxue said coldly.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she wouldn’t have sacrificed her dignity to do those things for Zhang Xiaohao.

The more Guan Qingxue thought about it, the angrier she became.

Zhang Xiaohao glanced at her indifferently, seemingly aware of the thoughts in her mind.

"You don’t need to look so bitter and resentful! Even if this matter spreads, with your strength, you don’t even qualify to fish in troubled waters!" Zhang Xiaohao remarked scornfully.

"Hmph! I know that, don’t forget what you promised me," Guan Qingxue retorted coldly.

"Relax, since I promised to take the three of you into the Ancient ruins, I will definitely bring you in," Zhang Xiaohao assured.

"There’s one more thing I need to remind you of! The old dog from the Guan Family led the creation of an alliance against you, apparently specifically to deal with you!" Guan Qingxue warned.

"An alliance against Zhang? Quite an assertive stance. I would really like to know who gave them such courage!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

"Today, Old Dog of the Guan Family will host a huge feast within the clan to entertain the key members of those seeking to align with the Zhang alliance," Guan Qingxue continued.

"Heh, you sure have a good scheme up your sleeve," Zhang Xiaohao laughed.

"Hmph!" Guan Qingxue wasn’t angry even though her plan was exposed.

Zhang Xiaohao continued eating.

A little while later.

After Zhang Xiaohao had his fill, he stood up.

"Let’s go! Let’s meet them!" Zhang Xiaohao said with an imposing air.

"Are you serious?" Guan Qingxue asked.

"Do I look like I’m joking?" Zhang Xiaohao countered.

He then headed straight for the outside.

"Miss, shall we go as well?" Ouyang Yu asked.

"Why wouldn’t we take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Guan Qingxue said coldly with a sneer. Google seaʀᴄh 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

After speaking, Guan Qingxue, followed by Guan Binfei and Ouyang Yu, quickly caught up.

The Guan Family’s mansion was bustling today.

The entrance was adorned with a row of large red lanterns, and there stood two lines of servants in black suits, as well as a bevy of beautiful young women.

Guan Wenqiang, the second young master of the Guan Family, was dressed in a red suit, complete with a red tie and red leather shoes, and with his hair dyed red. He was standing outside the Guan Family’s gates, alongside a group of Inner Sect Disciples from the Refining God Sect, acting as the welcoming party.

"Dragon Soul has arrived!" a voice crowed.

The people from Dragon Soul, led by their boss Dragon Soul himself, walked over with a domineering presence.

"Dragon Soul, welcome! Please, come inside!" Guan Wenqiang, eager as a lapdog, hastily went up to greet him.

"Hmm." Dragon Soul nodded slightly, leading his group of trusted followers inside.

"The genius master from the Dragon and Tiger List, Ye Wuming, has arrived!"

"Brother Ye, you’re here! Please, come inside!" Guan Wenqiang, along with a group of people, went up to meet him with another obsequious smile.

Ye Wuming arrogantly ignored him and strutted into the Guan Family’s courtyard.

"Hmph! What a nobody, just ninety-eighth on the Dragon and Tiger List, what’s there to swagger about? Someday when I surpass him in cultivation, I’ll make sure to thrash him! I’ll trample him into the ground!" Guan Wenqiang said, his face darkening with malice.

"Nine experts from M country have arrived!"

"Second young master, those dead bats from M country are here; should we go to receive them?"

"Receive my ass! A bunch of dead bats, coming to our turf to kill people, if it weren’t for their bit of usefulness, even if they knelt on the ground and begged me, they wouldn’t take one step inside our Guan Family’s gates!" Guan Wenqiang said, spitting dismissively.

When the nine vampires from M country approached, he arrogantly lifted his head, completely ignoring them.

"Hmph!" The leader of the M country experts snorted coldly but did not make a scene and continued walking inside.

"Second young master, almost everyone has arrived, shall we go inside?"

"Hmm!" Guan Wenqiang nodded and was about to turn to go inside.

"Zhang Xiaohao and Guan Qingxue have arrived!"

Just then, the cock-like crowing voice sounded again.

Zhang Xiaohao, with Guan Qingxue and the others, walked over with an indifferent air.

"What? It’s them! They’ve got some nerve, I’ve been looking for them, and here they are, delivering themselves to me. It’s a godsend!" Guan Wenqiang said, his face darkening further.

"Second young master, let me take some men and kill Zhang Xiaohao, and take those three down!" a disciple from the Refining God Sect said, brimming with killing intent.

"Hmph! No need, I will personally handle this and take them down!" Guan Wenqiang said coldly.

With that, he led a group of elite disciples from the Refining God Sect, all radiating murderous intent, to meet them head-on.
