91: I will die to protect the Zhang family forever

What a pity.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

All of the Grand Elder's movements were being monitored in secret by a group of people.

He had not gone far before the Grand Elder was besieged by several experts.

Another group of the Yang family who were resting also met with a catastrophe.

A wave of drugged incense drifted on the wind, making the Yang family members feel dizzy and nauseous.

Just as they were in a trance, a group of killers rushed out and slaughtered them one by one.

The experts by the Grand Elder's side fought desperately to protect him, escorting him out of the relentless pursuit.

When the Grand Elder returned to the camp, his eyes were red.

At this moment, the camp contained nothing but the corpses of the Zhang Family; there were no survivors left.

The Grand Elder was overcome with grief.

With an angry roar, he sped away.

The Grand Elder was in the Earth Moon Realm.

Trying to kill him was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Even though countless people were hunting him, the Grand Elder fought through the blood and finally fought his way back to the Zhang Family.

By the time he arrived at the Zhang Family gate, he was covered in wounds.

Behind him, more than a dozen experts were tailing him.

Upon reaching the Zhang Family gate, the dozen masked experts stopped and looked quite regretful.

The Zhang Family was filled with experts; they alone could not kill the Grand Elder.

This operation was a pity.

Just then, the Zhang Family gate opened.

The Zhang Family Head led a group of experts to welcome the Grand Elder.

The Zhang Family Head already knew what had happened during this time.

He supported the Grand Elder and looked at the dozen men in black before him, his gaze like lightning.

"You cowardly scoundrels.

"Do you have the guts to remove your masks?

"Let me see which Sect or which Family you belong to."

The dozen masked experts remained silent.

Just then, the Zhang Family Head gave the order:

"Kill them.

"Kill every single one of them, leave no one alive."

The Zhang Family experts were about to strike, but the Grand Elder waved his arms.

"Wait."

Everyone looked at him, wondering why he was stopping them.

The Grand Elder sighed up at the sky, knowing his time was short.

His wounds would not kill him, but the Yellow-Rank Bloodline was enough to send him to the Yellow Springs.

If he did not die, he feared he would bring disaster upon the Family.

Why not end this conflict with his own death?

This would give the Zhang Family enough opportunity to wipe out the Yang family and resolve this major threat.

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder sighed deeply and turned to look at the Zhang Family members.

"The Yang family has placed a bounty on my head using the Yellow-Rank Bloodline.

"If I do not die, the conflict will never end.

"Today, let them take my head and obtain the Yellow-Rank Bloodline.

"You must hurry to the Yang family, slaughter them all, and avenge the blood feud of the Zhang Family members."

Everyone was stunned.

The masked killers were also taken aback.

Had the Grand Elder lost his mind?

He wanted to sacrifice himself to destroy the Yang family.

The masked killers were secretly delighted.

If this were true, they would be getting a bargain.

Suddenly, they realized that besides themselves, others also wanted this head.

In an instant, Killing Intent surged all around.

The killers who had been standing side by side suddenly scattered, watching each other vigilantly.

Seeing their behavior, the Grand Elder couldn't help but laugh loudly.

He raised his right arm and shouted, "Bring me a sword!"

The Zhang Family members behind him had tear-filled eyes, gazing at the Grand Elder with admiration.

The Zhang Family Head took out his own precious sword and placed it into the Grand Elder's hands with both of his own.

Looking around, the Grand Elder cut his own throat in front of everyone.

This sword was incomparably sharp.

The Grand Elder exerted some force, the sword swept across his neck, and his head was heavily severed, rolling to the feet of the killers.

In an instant, the killers swarmed forward and began fighting each other.

The Zhang Family Head ordered someone to carry the Grand Elder's body back.

He watched the fiercely fighting killers with cold eyes, his gaze filled with a trace of anger and helplessness, then turned and led the Zhang Family members away.

After a bitter battle, only one killer survived.

Carrying the Grand Elder's head, he hurried toward the Yang family.

That day, the weather was beautiful.

Countless people gathered in front of the Yang family gate.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"Look, who is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person behind the crowd carrying a bloody head, arriving in front of the Yang family gate in high spirits.

"This is the Grand Elder of the Zhang Family's head."

"He was really killed."

"Who is this masked guy?"

"I don't know."

"He must be a famous expert; otherwise, he wouldn't be wearing a mask and afraid to show his face."

Amidst the crowd's discussions, the masked man raised the head in his hand, channeled his Qi, and shouted into the Yang family residence.

"The Grand Elder's head has been taken.

"I hope the Yang family will keep their promise and deliver the Yellow-Rank Bloodline to me."

Yang Yi was resting in the courtyard.

Hearing the shouting outside, he smiled slightly.

A moment later, Yang Ming, Zhong Mingyi, and others gathered in the courtyard.

Zhong Mingyi blinked his cunning eyes and gave a sly laugh at Yang Yi.

"Adoptive Father, do you think we should give him the Yellow-Rank Bloodline?"

He had a hidden meaning.

Yang Yi took out the Yellow-Rank Bloodline and placed it on the stone table, waving his hand nonchalantly.

Zhong Mingyi arrived at the table a step faster than Yang Ming, taking the Yellow-Rank Bloodline into his hand and sighing reluctantly.

"Are we really giving it to him?

"This is a good item."

"One must be trustworthy," Yang Ming said, his face cold as he reminded Zhong Mingyi not to have any inappropriate thoughts.

Zhong Mingyi felt the Yellow-Rank Bloodline a few more times, then placed it back on the table.

Since it was to be given to someone else, he wouldn't take it.

Yang Ming picked up the Yellow-Rank Bloodline and led the group out of the small courtyard.

The Yang family gate opened slowly.

Yang Ming and the others inspected the head in the masked man's hand.

Confirming it was the Grand Elder's head, they gave the Yellow-Rank Bloodline to the masked man.

The masked man put away the Yellow-Rank Bloodline, cupped his hands toward the Yang family members, said "many thanks," and immediately blended into the crowd, disappearing from sight.

As for whether this person could take the Yellow-Rank Bloodline away safely, that would depend on his own abilities.

The moment he appeared carrying the Grand Elder's head, he had already been targeted by quite a few people.

The Zhang Family was also secretly watching him, wanting to kill him quickly and incidentally seize the Yellow-Rank Bloodline.

As for the others watching the masked man, they only wanted the Yellow-Rank Bloodline.

There was only one Grand Elder.

Since he had been killed by someone else, if they wanted to obtain the Yellow-Rank Bloodline, they could only target the person who had obtained it.

Yang Yi knew well that the Yellow-Rank Bloodline had now become a hot potato; whoever held it would be unlucky.

Therefore, he was eager to get rid of it; it absolutely could not remain in the Yang family.

Three days after the Grand Elder was killed, news came from the outside.

The Zhang Family Head was personally bringing the Zhang Family experts to come to the Yang family.

When the news reached the Yang family, everyone couldn't help but feel some worry.

This time, even the Zhang Family Head was coming; surely the Zhang Family was mobilizing their entire force.

With their current strength, resisting a millennium-old Family would likely be too difficult.

A group led by Yang Ming and Zhong Mingyi suggested to Yang Yi that he invite people from the Duobao Pavilion to come and assist the Yang family.
