69: Chapter 69 The Number One Genius of Dongning Prefecture

She knew that all too well, but as an ordinary person, how could she possibly oppose a God Venerate Family?

To them, ordinary people were merely toys for the God Venerate Families to toy with.

Seeing Grandma in such a daze, Kang Dalei and Ruan Mi exchanged a glance.

Kang Dalei spoke first:

"Grandma, a kindness as small as a bowl of noodles deserves to be repaid with a gushing spring. I will immediately send someone to Dongning Prefecture to get you justice."

Kang Dalei turned his head and looked at Ruan Mi with unusual seriousness:

"Ruan Mi, your master is giving you a task now: go to Dongning Prefecture and help Grandma seek justice."

Ruan Mi directly ignored Kang Dalei's posturing, walked up to Grandma, and said softly:

"Don't worry, we will help you find out the truth."

[Ding-dong, temporary mission issued: Host must personally slay Bai San of the Dongning Prefecture Bai family within half an hour to avenge the late Fu Xiao. Reward: twenty uses of the divine blood pool.]

"Leave this matter to me."

Kang Dalei sighed softly. Half an hour—it seemed he would have to use a secret technique.

Ruan Mi turned her head in confusion, only to see Kang Dalei vanish in a flash right before her eyes.

"So fast." After her shock, Ruan Mi immediately remembered the movement technique he had used when she was feigning allegiance to Shen Zhou of the Heavenly Demon Sect and pursuing Kang Dalei; it was exactly the same.

"Fine, you didn't use this move before. I almost forgot that you didn't come to save me last time."

Great, just as she had settled today's grievances, she dug up the old ones again.

Grandma, standing nearby, could hardly believe it. The person who had clearly been right in front of her had vanished in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, she also understood that Ruan Mi and Kang Dalei were not ordinary people.

Kang Dalei hadn't been to Dongning Prefecture in a long time.

After using the Great Instant Transmission Technique continuously, the true qi in Kang Dalei's body leaked away as quickly as a popped balloon.

[Ding-dong, Host, would you like to purchase Azure Heaven White Dew to restore true qi?]

"I don't want it."

[Ding-dong, don't force me to slap you.]

"Fine, give me a bottle."

[Ding-dong, congratulations to the Host for spending 100 points to purchase a bottle of Azure Heaven White Dew.]

Gulp, gulp—he downed it in one go, a refreshing sensation rushing straight to his brain.

"This feeling is even more satisfying than drinking ice-cold beer."

Passing through the Dongning Prefecture city wall, Kang Dalei leaped into the city.

Inside Yuyang Palace, Palace Master Li Huainan, who was savoring some fine wine, felt his fingers tremble, and his entire wine bowl crashed to the floor.

"The aura of a God Venerate. A God Venerate has entered my Dongning Prefecture."

Standing below him was a handsome man dressed in purple robes.

"Master, is it someone from Yuanchu Mountain?"

"It doesn't look like it." Palace Master Li Huainan shook his head and released his primordial spirit's divine sense to scan the entire Dongning Prefecture. In the next second, his face instantly turned pale.

"It's... it's him."

"Who?" the handsome man asked.

Palace Master Li Huainan took a deep breath, his lips trembling as he said:

"Kang... Da... lei."

"It's him." The handsome man frowned.

"What is he doing in our Dongning Prefecture again?"

"He seems to have gone to the Bai family," Palace Master Li Huainan murmured.

In the next second, he and the handsome man appeared on the large stone statue of Yuyang Palace, a vantage point that allowed them to overlook the entire Dongning Prefecture.

With his demon-slaying blade held horizontally, Kang Dalei arrived at the gate of the Bai family estate. With a single slash, the entire gate and the Bai estate itself were cleaved in two.

"This strike likely has the power of at least the threshold of the Undying Realm,"

Palace Master Li Huainan remarked from the stone statue at Yuyang Palace.

Having sliced the gate in two, Kang Dalei kicked open the vermilion doors and walked inside, immediately encountering two of the Bai family's retainers.

With just one slash, both men collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"I've come only to kill White Pig. It has nothing to do with the rest of you, and even less to do with you, little beauty."

Seeing someone walk out, Kang Dalei grinned and cast a malicious look at the person.

Then, he successfully enraged them.

"Lecher, it's you again."

"You smell so good." With another strike, devoid of any bells and whistles, the Dual-Blade Rakshasa Bai Wei collapsed into Kang Dalei's arms. Before losing consciousness, the only thing she heard was Kang Dalei saying, "You smell so good."

Walking into the inner chambers of the Bai estate, he found White Pig, who was obese and looked sleazy, hurriedly putting on his clothes.

After the first slash, he had taken care of three subordinates in three seconds. The speed was so fast that White Pig couldn't react in time.

"You seem to be in a hurry."

He walked toward White Pig step by step, his blade held in his hand, the tip dragging along the ground, composing a short, deadly melody.

Seeing Kang Dalei getting closer and closer with no intention of showing mercy, White Pig hurriedly tried to intimidate him:

"You scoundrel, do you know who I am? My Bai family is a God Venerate Family. If you dare to offend my Bai family, you will have nowhere to hide in heaven or on earth."

"Keep talking." Kang Dalei continued walking forward, his blade dragging and scraping against the ground, sparks beginning to fly.

White Pig thought Kang Dalei was scared, so he continued to boast.

"As long as you spare me, I promise that my Bai family will never retaliate against you, and, and..."

His words came to an abrupt halt here; the blade was already at his throat.

"I'll ask you a question."

White Pig was confused but still nodded and bowed, replying:

"As long as you spare my life, Great Hero, I, Bai San, will certainly tell you everything I know without holding anything back."

"There is a girl you kidnapped from Death Fishing Village named Fu Xiao. Where is she?"

"Death Fishing Village?" White Pig thought about it seriously, but because he had toyed with too many women, he couldn't remember at all.

"You don't know?" Kang Dalei's blade had already slid across his neck and reached his jaw.

This scared White Pig so much that he lost control of his bowels.

A pungent, foul odor wafted over, and Kang Dalei frowned.

"You said you abused so many people, so why are you so afraid now that it's your turn?"

"Because everyone has a heart that fears death."

At the entrance of the Bai estate, a figure walked in.

Dressed in purple robes, a dashing young gentleman.

"Mei Yuanzhi."

"Senior Brother, do you still remember me?" Mei Yuanzhi cupped his hands in a salute, his tone quite polite.

"Senior Brother, I do not know why you have trespassed into our Dongning Prefecture to kill without cause, but the Bai family is a God Venerate Family, and their family's God Venerate is currently defending against enemies at An Hai Pass. Could you please spare his life for the sake of their family's God Venerate?"

Before he had even finished speaking, Kang Dalei's long blade moved, and White Pig's head fell to the ground.

"Sorry, you spoke too late."

[Ding-dong, congratulations to the Host for completing the slaying of Bai San. Reward: twenty uses of the divine blood pool.]

"You..." Mei Yuanzhi obviously had excellent self-cultivation, but at this moment, he could not help but feel a bit of anger.

"Senior Brother, since you have killed someone in our Dongning Prefecture without cause, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

"An explanation... to you?" Kang Dalei laughed helplessly.

"When you become a God Venerate and sit in the position of the Palace Master of Yuyang Palace, then come and ask me for an explanation."

Kang Dalei retracted his demon-slaying blade, turned around, and walked away.

But he had only taken two steps before his path was blocked by Mei Yuanzhi.

"Senior Brother, in this world, just because one has high cultivation does not mean one can be lawless and kill at will, especially since you killed someone from a God Venerate Family."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

"I want you to stay in Dongning Prefecture and accept the appropriate punishment."

"You are not worthy. Tell your cowardly master to come find me, if he dares to."

"You!"

Mei Yuanzhi finally couldn't help but make a move.

He could suppress his anger no matter how arrogant Kang Dalei was, but he could not tolerate disrespect toward his master, Palace Master Li Huainan.

If Mei Yuanzhi knew that his master had repeatedly gone easy on the Demon Kings just to prevent the demonic beasts from attacking Dongning Prefecture, he certainly wouldn't be as agitated as he was now.

"Wulou Realm? I really didn't expect you to have reached the Wulou Realm. You truly are worthy of being the number one genius of Dongning Prefecture."

But with just a flick of a finger, Mei Yuanzhi was sent flying back hundreds of meters.
