78: Elders Died Tragic

The several Elders watched, burning with anxiety, yet they were unable to offer any help.

Just at this moment, Zhang Ao Xuan suddenly leaped out.

Looking at the Elders of the Yang family, he said, "You guys, don't just stand there. Are you interested in having a fight with me?"

Zhang Ao Xuan knew that this fellow Zhong Mingyi was cunning and devious.

If he fought him, he might not necessarily win.

Therefore, he set his sights on the few Elders.

He felt that he could still easily handle these Elders.

Killing an Elder would demonstrate his own capabilities and allow the Zhang family to vent some of their hatred.

One of the Elders stepped out imposingly.

"I will fight you."

Subsequently, the two engaged in battle.

Before they had traded many blows, Zhang Ao Xuan killed the Elder with a single sword strike.

The Elder let out a miserable scream as he died a tragic death.

Zhong Mingyi, who had been fighting with focused concentration, felt a shudder in his heart upon hearing the Elder's scream.

The sword in his hand trembled slightly.

It was only a small opening, but Zhang Zitian seized the opportunity.

Zhang Zitian did not give Zhong Mingyi the slightest chance to react.

With lightning speed, he rushed in front of Zhong Mingyi and kicked him squarely in the knee.

With a bang, Zhong Mingyi was kicked backward repeatedly.

Fortunately, while retreating, he swept the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword forward, preventing Zhang Zitian from attacking further.

Otherwise, his life would have ended right here today.

Stopping in his tracks and looking at the Elder who had already died a tragic death, Zhong Mingyi was filled with remorse.

He looked at the other Elders with some reproach.

"You are no match for them."

"Do not make a move."

"Hurry and inform the Family Head."

The Elders also knew their situation and silently retreated back into the mansion.

Outside the gate, only Zhong Mingyi remained.

Zhong Mingyi's eyes darted around, searching for the people from Duobao Pavilion.

He felt that the people from Duobao Pavilion would still help the Yang family.

However, just now, the Elder had died a tragic death, yet the people from Duobao Pavilion had not appeared.

He did not know if they were unwilling to help or if it was because of other matters.

At this moment, inside the teahouse, the Elder of Kaitian Sect was already sitting between Haitang and the old man.

He looked at the two of them with a smile, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a hint of triumph.

Outside the door were over a dozen experts from the Opening Heaven Gate.

"It's quite good for the two of you to watch the show here."

"I advise you both not to go outside."

"There is fighting and killing out there."

"It would not be good if you were accidentally injured."

Haitang smiled sweetly, picked up the cup on the table, and shook it gently.

She looked silently at the old man opposite her.

The old man's face was gloomy.

He originally had no intention of helping the Yang family.

However, the people from the Opening Heaven Gate had suddenly arrived here and even threatened him, which made him very unhappy.

He tapped the table lightly and looked at the Elder of Kaitian Sect, saying, "Who are you? How dare you speak so arrogantly?"

"Do you think that group of guys outside, plus you, can stop me?"

The Elder of Kaitian Sect laughed heartily and pulled out a token.

"I am an Elder of Kaitian Sect."

"With just this status, shouldn't you think twice before acting?"

"My abilities are naturally not as great as yours."

"However, with so many of us, wanting to trap you for a while shouldn't be hard to achieve, right?"

"We have no intention of harming you."

"We just hope that you can watch the show here peacefully."

"I was already watching the show here from the beginning."

The old man snorted coldly and did not reply.

He had been watching the show all along; originally, this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

However, the Elder of Kaitian Sect had blocked him inside the room.

He actually wanted to meet this group of fellows from the Opening Heaven Gate.

Did they not know who he was? To actually dare to come here and threaten him—were they tired of living?

Looking at Haitang on the side, this girl actually had no reaction at all.

She seemed not to care about the battle just now, nor did she care about the death of the Yang family's Elder.

This made him very strange.

In her words, Haitang had implied an intention to help the Yang family.

Now that the Yang family had truly encountered difficulties, this girl was surprisingly indifferent.

Could it be that she had some backup plan, or did she have other thoughts?

Just as he was pondering, the Elder of Kaitian Sect suddenly looked outside and said, "One Elder of the Yang family is already dead."

"Next, more Elders will die."

"Why don't the two of you continue to watch here?"

"If you really want to leave, we can talk about it then."

"For now, surely there is no need for the two of you to leave yet."

Haitang hummed and laughed softly.

"Only one Elder of the Yang family has died."

"It seems the Zhang family has lost quite a few, right?"

"Although I wanted to help the Yang family, however, since you have trapped me here, I can only say sorry to the Yang family."

"I just don't know what use there is in trapping him and me here?"

The Elder of Kaitian Sect said to Haitang, "What use? Don't you know yourself?"

"By trapping the two of you, the people from Duobao Pavilion will not move recklessly."

"As long as there is no help from the people of Duobao Pavilion, the Yang family is simply an ant, easily manipulated by the Zhang family."

Upon hearing this, Haitang laughed softly and shook her head slightly.

Seeing Haitang's appearance, both the old man and the Elder of Kaitian Sect were extremely puzzled.

Before the Elder of Kaitian Sect could ask, the old man asked curiously, "What is that expression of yours? It seems you do not agree with his words."

Haitang laughed lightly and said to the old man, "Old man, we have been watching for so long. Haven't you realized that the Yang family is not as weak as you imagine?"

The old man nodded. "I know the Yang family is not bad, but compared to the Zhang family, they are still too weak."

Haitang then said to the Elder of Kaitian Sect, "You of the Opening Heaven Gate are really unwise to wade into this muddy water."

"I actually want to ask one thing."

"I heard that the Yang family and the Han Family also have a grudge."

"I wonder if the Han Family has made a move this time?"

"Does it matter whether the tiny Han Family makes a move or not?" the Elder of Kaitian Sect said disdainfully.

Haitang smiled amusedly.

She knew that the people from the Han Family had not made a move.

This made her slightly admire the Family Head of the Han Family.

This Family Head was at least able to distinguish the situation.

Immediately, she said to the Elder of Kaitian Sect, "Everyone knows that our Duobao Pavilion is helping the Yang family."

"Everyone thinks that it was our Duobao Pavilion that killed the people of the Zhang family."

"But they don't know."

"In that fight, although our Duobao Pavilion people made a move, and although our Duobao Pavilion people killed that Elder, the people of the Yang family also fought a few rounds and did not fall into a disadvantage."

"This is not the point."

"Do you know what the point is?"

Both the old man and the Elder of Kaitian Sect shook their heads.

Haitang looked toward the direction of the Yang family's gate, her tone somewhat serious.

"The important thing is that Yang Yi has not made a move yet."

"What does it matter whether he makes a move or not?" the Elder of Kaitian Sect said disdainfully.
