57: Chapter 57 How could he be so strong?

The sadder Yun Qingping cried, the calmer Commander Lin Wen's expression became. Only after waiting for her to cry until she was exhausted did Commander Lin Wen begin the second step: brainwashing.

"Do you want to become a Divine Venerable?"

"What?" Yun Qingping suddenly raised her head, her face full of confusion.

"I am asking you, do you want to become a Divine Venerable or not?"

Commander Lin Wen repeated herself.

Only then did Yun Qingping nod as if she had understood, then she shook her head.

"A Divine Venerable, is it like my great-grandfather?"

Commander Lin Wen was speechless; it seemed this silly girl didn't understand anything at all.

But that was fine, too; the sillier she was, the easier she would be to train.

"Yes, just like your grandfather, a Divine Venerable who can summon wind and rain and be revered by others. If you want to become a Divine Venerable, I can help you."

"I don't want to." Yun Qingping refused without a second thought.

"I don't want to become a Divine Venerable. I just want to admire the moon, tend to flowers, paint, and fall in love."

Yun Qingping suddenly looked at Commander Lin Wen, her delicate and pretty face full of longing.

Commander Lin Wen was amused by her attitude.

"When it comes to romance, without strength, how can you admire flowers and the moon? Without strength, where would peace come from? It seems you have been a vase for too long, but in the Concubine Guard, being a vase is far from enough."

"Someone, take Yun Qingping away, give her a lesson, and let her understand what the Concubine Guard is."

"Understood, Commander."

Two maids from the Concubine Guard lifted the struggling Yun Qingping and left Commander Lin Wen's room.

On the other side.

After leaving Death Fishing Village, Kang Dalei quickly found the location where they were attacked based on the intelligence left by Ruan Mi.

However, several days had passed since then. Moreover, as it was in the wilderness, the traces of the fight had long been covered by dirt. The only remaining clue was a trace of demon power hidden in the air.

"As expected, what a perverted scent."

Kang Dalei looked around but did not find any valuable clues.

Just as he was preparing to go elsewhere to search for the stronghold mentioned in the system mission, a faint sound behind him made him decisively draw his demon-slaying blade.

"Who is it?"

Kang Dalei quickly turned his head to look at the source of the sound, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Damn it, you scared the hell out of me. It's just a white-tailed rabbit."

Kang Dalei casually threw the demon-slaying blade in his hand, and the white-tailed rabbit was instantly pierced through the body.

"Consider yourself unlucky, little rabbit."

Before long, a fragrant roasted rabbit appeared before Kang Dalei's eyes.

"Fragrant, it's f***ing fragrant."

He sniffed it and swallowed his saliva. Just as he was about to take a bite full of juices, a slightly displeased voice mixed with thick killing intent instantly made Kang Dalei pause his biting motion.

"Yo, if it isn't Young Master Kang. What, do you like eating other people's things?"

Dressed in black, with a demon-slaying blade hanging on his back, and speaking with a sharp tongue—there was no need to guess who it was.

"Meng Chuan, long time no see."

Seeing that it was Meng Chuan, Kang Dalei was somewhat surprised.

"I don't deserve a 'long time no see.' Young Master Kang, I came here specifically to find you today."

Meng Chuan drew his demon-slaying blade, pointing the tip directly at Kang Dalei, and revealed a sneer:

"Young Master Kang, three against one, that shouldn't count as bullying you, right?"

Hearing Meng Chuan's voice, two familiar figures walked out of the woods simultaneously. They were none other than Fairy Meng and Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang.

Kang Dalei threw away the rabbit meat in his hand, and his expression began to turn ugly.

"It seems the Meng Family wants to abandon martial ethics, bully the few with the many, and be this shameless."

...

...

"Bullying the few with the many? Young Master Kang is being modest. Able to defeat a Demon King with your strength, yet you still go to the Demon-Slaying Conference to fry fish. When it comes to being shameless, who can compare to you?"

"Meng Chuan, do you really think you three small fries can defeat me?"

"You can try?"

Meng Chuan was not afraid of Kang Dalei's threat in the slightest, his tone even more firm than if he had taken Viagra.

Seeing this, Kang Dalei knew that things probably wouldn't end well today.

He drew his demon-slaying blade and pointed it at the three of them, saying:

"Come on, let me see exactly how shameless the Meng Family can be."

"Kid, you abducted my son's fiancée; it's time to give you a good beating."

After Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang revealed his body refinement identity, he indeed became much more handsome.

His face with distinct angles was handsome, and although it was still slightly inferior to Kang Dalei's, it was enough to be called a hunk.

"Why waste words with him? Just chop the bastard."

Fairy Meng on the side had a hot temper; she preferred to fight rather than argue.

Hearing Fairy Meng's words, the father and son, Meng Chuan and Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang, charged toward Kang Dalei simultaneously.

But the next second, both of their figures immediately retreated violently. During the retreat, the demon-slaying blade in Meng Chuan's hand shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

"Three small fries, daring to come and find trouble with me. Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang, when will you call that Marquis-level Divine Venerable Bai Nianyun to come and play? Maybe then you'd have a chance."

Kang Dalei unleashed his Sha Kasaya, and his entire aura instantly changed.

Seventh-level Body Refinement, Body Refinement Divine Venerable.

"He is actually a Seventh-level Body Refinement." Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang was shocked.

Perhaps others didn't know, but as a Body Refinement Divine Venerable himself, Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang was all too familiar with the Body Refinement system. Although the two were new and old systems, the physical body levels were exactly the same.

"After I finish dealing with her, I will come and hammer you two father and son."

Kang Dalei's figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Fairy Meng, and he threw a punch without holding anything back.

With just one punch, the nine-colored Sha energy instantly erupted into a terrifying wave of true energy.

With just one punch, Fairy Meng, this veteran Divine Venerable, was left stunned on the spot.

"So strong, terrifyingly strong. She simply cannot withstand this punch."

This was the voice in Fairy Meng's heart.

And it was the despair that Divine Venerables below the Great Sun Realm felt when facing Kang Dalei at this moment.

Divine Venerable remains, nine-colored Sha energy, Seventh-level Body Refinement.

His combat power was enough to rival the Great Sun Realm.

"What is Great-Aunt doing?" Seeing Fairy Meng standing motionless, with Kang Dalei's fist wind about to hit her, Meng Chuan immediately became anxious.

Beside him, Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang seemed to see the clue and said with a complex look in his eyes:

"Not good, it's combat power suppression. Aunt has been suppressed by Kang Dalei."

"How is this possible? Great-Aunt is an Undying Realm Divine Venerable."

Meng Chuan clearly didn't believe it.

Even if Kang Dalei were powerful, he couldn't possibly be a match for an Undying Realm Divine Venerable.

"Meng Chuan, it's true." At this moment, Zhuang Sheng's voice rang out in Meng Chuan's mind.

"This person's combat power is likely already not lower than a Dark Star Realm Divine Venerable. Coupled with the eleven-colored Sha energy around him, an Undying Realm Divine Venerable cannot be his match. We may have miscalculated."

"Then what should we do?" Meng Chuan was anxious.

If even an Undying Realm Divine Venerable wasn't a match for Kang Dalei, how could he save Liu Qiyue?

"Zhuang Sheng, you must still have a way, right?"

Meng Chuan asked.

Zhuang Sheng in the primordial spirit space remained silent.

He did indeed have a way, but the price of this method was too high.

Seeing that Zhuang Sheng wouldn't speak, Meng Chuan became completely anxious.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to rush toward Kang Dalei, but he was stopped by Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang.

"No, Meng Chuan, you are not his match."

"But Great-Aunt…"

Before he could finish speaking, Fairy Meng's body had already been sent flying.

The ground was even gouged out, creating a trench hundreds of meters long.

Fairy Meng's Divine Statue Manifestation also disintegrated in an instant, turning into powder.

With the power of just one punch, it had such strength; this scene left Meng Chuan stunned.

"How, how could he be this strong?"

Meng Chuan couldn't believe it and was even less willing to accept this fact.

This punch was even more shocking than the scene Liu Qiyue and the others saw at Yuyang Grotto-Heaven back then.

At this moment, Meng Chuan finally remembered why Liu Qiyue had stopped him from attacking Kang Dalei back then.
