82: Chapter 82 Miss Qian, Your Entire Family Has Been Wiped Out

Seeing Kang Dalei refuse once again, the White Elephant King's expression changed instantly, and he said in a tone that brooked no negotiation:

"Whether you want to participate or not, you must participate."

Kang Dalei was stunned for a moment, but immediately followed up with a cold sneer:

"White Elephant King, you don't actually think I'm afraid of you, do you?"

Nine-colored, iridescent baleful aura was released, and the kasaya covered his body; Kang Dalei's expression also darkened.

He had given this old thing some face earlier out of respect for his title as a King, but he hadn't expected him to be so brazen as to push his luck now.

The moment Kang Dalei released his baleful aura, the White Elephant King immediately realized something and hurriedly waved his hands to ease the atmosphere:

"Kid, why are you so tense? I was just joking with you. It's fine if you don't want to participate."

The White Elephant King waved his hand at Kang Dalei, showing absolutely no temper at all.

If he were to attack, he would inevitably break ties with Kang Dalei, and breaking ties with such a gifted genius was not the outcome he wanted.

Since the White Elephant King had offered a way out, Kang Dalei withdrew his baleful aura, took a breath, and said:

"If the Prince has nothing else, I'll take my leave and walk around."

After cupping his hands in a salute, Kang Dalei pushed the door open and walked out.

Outside, the two women, Qingyi and Chengyi, were still frozen in place, unable to move.

Kang Dalei beckoned, releasing his baleful aura, and the King-level pressure hanging over the two women instantly dissipated.

"Master, are you alright?"

The moment the two women were freed, they shielded Kang Dalei behind them, their gazes glaring angrily at the White Elephant King inside the room.

Seeing the two women so protective of Kang Dalei, the White Elephant King sighed slightly, shook his head helplessly, and turned to vanish from the spot.

With Divine Venerables as attendants and still being so loyal to him, he was becoming somewhat interested in Kang Dalei's identity.

After the White Elephant King left, Kang Dalei waited until he could no longer feel his pressure before saying to the two women:

"Let's go, to the Qian Mansion."

The figures of the three of them also vanished.

In Xibai Pass, after a night of fermentation, the news of Kang Dalei beating up the Xibai Pass garrison commander and wiping out the Qian Family yesterday had already begun to spread through the streets and alleys.

One punch for one Divine Venerable; six Divine Venerables couldn't even withstand a single punch from him.

The Qian couple had their Divine Statue Manifestation shattered by just a single punch.

"You villain, for destroying my Qian Family, I, Qian Jin, swear that I will definitely have you torn apart by five horses."

In the main hall of the Qian Mansion, Qian Jin, who had just returned, was stunned as she looked at the corpses of the Qian Family members covering the floor.

But then, a piercing scream followed.

After the scream came eyes filled with disbelief.

"The Qian Family has been exterminated?"

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the outer room. Qian Jin immediately stopped her voice, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hid in a side room.

An old man walked in.

It was none other than General Huan from yesterday.

"Sigh..." A sigh escaped his lips. The Wrinkled Old Man gazed at the corpses of the Qian Family members on the floor, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

"You two were truly foolish to offend someone you shouldn't have. Back when I passed down the Absorption Technique to your Qian Family, I warned you to only target ordinary geniuses without any status or background. But your Qian Family not only ignored me, you treated my words as wind passing by your ears. Now look, your Qian Family is all dead, which counts as helping me keep my secret. It's just a pity; without the Qian Family's support, I'm afraid I'll have to target the only survivor, Qian Jin, if I want to break through the Dark Star Realm."

"Sigh." With another sigh, the Wrinkled Old Man waved his hand, and all the corpses of the Qian Family members were taken into his Divine Venerable secret realm.

"When I break through to the Dark Star Realm and become a Marquis-level Divine Venerable, I will definitely avenge your Qian Family. Hahahaha."

After a cold, sinister laugh, the Wrinkled Old Man left the Qian Mansion.

After the old man left, Qian Jin walked out from the room in shock.

She covered her lips with her hands, her face full of horror.

The master who used to be kind and affectionate, pampering her in every way, was actually using her Qian Family.

For a moment, Qian Jin's thoughts raced, and scenes from the past floated into her mind.

Just then, several voices sounded at the entrance again, and Kang Dalei appeared at the Qian Mansion with the two women.

"I wonder where the Qian Family's treasure vault is?"

After walking in, Kang Dalei scanned the area casually but didn't find anything.

The two women stood guard on his left and right, looking very vigilant.

Meanwhile, Qian Jin, who had been in the main hall just a moment ago, now appeared in a secret room.

In the secret room, Qian Jin watched the three of them through a narrow crack, her fists clenched tight.

"You villain, you actually dare to come to my Qian Mansion to loot."

After a burst of anger, Qian Jin became sad again.

In the past, even people from noble families wouldn't dare to be so rude to her Qian Family, but now, just after the Qian Family's Divine Venerables had died, someone had come to scavenge for treasures.

At this moment, Qian Jin still didn't know that Kang Dalei was the one who had exterminated her entire family.

When it came to the treasure vault, Qian Jin's heart tightened immediately. She stopped paying attention to Kang Dalei and the others, and followed the secret chamber behind her to open a stone door; behind the stone door was a bottomless passage.

Walking into the passage, a cold wind blew, and Qian Jin couldn't help but shiver.

After walking for who knows how long, a giant bronze door appeared.

It was covered with dense runes, and Qian Jin felt weak just by looking at it.

The Qian Family's treasure vault could only be entered by the Qian Family head, Divine Venerables, and direct descendants.

Even as a direct descendant, Qian Jin had only entered three times in her twenty-something years of life.

Above the runes was a mechanism that required the blood of the Qian Family to open.

"If you want to get my Qian Family's treasures, I'd rather destroy them than give them to you."

Qian Jin drew a dagger, slashed her palm, and then pressed her palm against the bronze door.

With the injection of the Qian Family's blood, the bronze door slowly opened.

After a burst of dazzling golden light, there was an assortment of treasures, swords, and halberds.

Qian Jin ignored the various treasures placed on the side and rushed straight toward the red box placed in the very center.

That was her Qian Family's lifeblood and proof.

But just as she was about to touch the box, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her, and the box was snatched away just like that.

"The Qian Family treasure vault is indeed well-hidden."

Kang Dalei's figure appeared in front of Qian Jin.

In his hand was the very red box that had been placed in the Qian Family's main hall.

The moment she saw Kang Dalei, Qian Jin drew her sword to strike, but at the moment the sword left its sheath, a familiar scene flashed through her mind.

Thus, Qian Jin exclaimed in surprise:

"It's you, the pill-swindling thief."

Kang Dalei subconsciously wanted to cover his face and deny it wasn't him.

But then he thought, since this was a secret room, he turned to Qian Jin and flashed his signature cheeky grin.

"Long time no see, my Miss Qian."

As soon as Kang Dalei's voice came out, Qian Jin drew her sword and slashed at him.

"I was just wondering why your voice sounded so familiar, I didn't expect it to be you, you swindler. Fine, swindling my demon pill was one thing, but now you've come to loot my Qian Family? Believe it or not, I won't let you leave the Qian Mansion alive."

At this moment, Qian Jin was still putting on a brave front.

However, knowing the secrets of her family, and that he was the true culprit behind her family's extermination, Kang Dalei smiled noncommittally.

"Miss Qian, your family has been exterminated, and the three Divine Venerables are all dead. Yet you're still so arrogant—believe it or not, I'll kill you with one punch."

Looking at Kang Dalei, who was smiling while speaking of killing her, Qian Jin felt extremely aggrieved, but since the situation was stronger than the person, she had to suppress her anger and said:

"What you are holding is the heirloom of my Qian Family's generations. You can take all the treasures in this vault, but you must return the box to me."
