Chapter 1759 - 316: 20,000-Word Super - ! (Part 5)

But Li Zhiyuan's nosebleed just wouldn't stop.

These three people are considered half of the top combat power under Zhao Ming in Jiujiang, and the boy controlling all three at once represents a tremendous ongoing consumption, even if he's doing nothing else.

Run Sheng: "Chop them up."

It really was a good suggestion.

"I can hold on a bit longer." Li Zhiyuan rejected Run Sheng's proposal, "They were all awakened from a dormant state, which means there's someone capable of giving commands in this house."

Zhao Yi has already offered up his "ancestors," and Li Zhiyuan has taken them. If he casually chopped them up, it would seem too ungrateful for Mr. Zhao's kind gesture.

Yet, someone hasn't appeared and can still issue commands, which must mean this person holds the highest status in the ancestral house. Their location should be...

Li Zhiyuan took a step forward, noticing his spatial awareness was a bit distorted. The first step felt unsteady, and his vision grew a bit blurry.

"Brother Runsheng, carry me."

"Alright."

Run Sheng bent down and carried the boy on his back.

"Ah You, go to the clan leader's courtyard."

After saying this, the boy closed his eyes.

The Zhao Family Mountain, with its ancestral home mirroring the outer residence one-to-one, was now fully revealed.

What should have been an area shrouded in mystery was now seemingly highlighted in full view.

Run Sheng carried the boy, with Tan Wenbin behind and Lin Shuyou ahead.

Surrounding them were three Zhao family elders moving in unison.

To minimize his energy consumption, Li Zhiyuan simplified their movements, expressions, and postures, making the three jump forward stiffly like zombies.

In the underground room.

The Great Elder sat wearily in the Taishi Chair.

In the Jianghu, the Jiujiang Zhao held a not insignificant status, and as the de facto highest authority of the Zhao family, the Great Elder was experienced and knowledgeable.

But the Secret Technique personally created by Wei Zhengdao years ago still left him astounded.

Unthinkable, beyond comprehension, which is what the "Secret" in "secret technique" truly entails.

"Now, they're coming towards my location."

The Great Elder seemed to be talking to himself.

"I still don't understand what happened to Lao San and the others. I can only guess that Yi'er's earlier arrangement gave these intruders a head start."

"I'm exhausted, I can't leave this room."

"Lao Er is outside right now, very busy, and he can't come in."

As the Great Elder spoke, his gaze swept over to the amber boundary.

There, silent coffins floated quietly.

Inside lay Zhao Yi's ancestors, also the Great Elder's predecessors.

But at this moment, none responded to his lament.

Just as before when the Great Elder called for Lao San, Lao Si, and Lao Wu to awaken and resolve the intruders, none reacted, as if it was none of their concern.

After all, they were already inside, unlike those outside who were desperate to get in.

They believed that no matter how chaotic it got outside, this area would remain secure.

They didn't even care if Zhao Yi lived.

If Zhao Yi died, taking his fortune along, it would merely mean this area could never be restored to its former glory, without affecting their peaceful dwelling.

The Great Elder gently caressed the armrest of the Taishi Chair.

The restrictions and arrays within the ancestral home greatly outnumbered those of the outer residence, and he was mobilizing them to annihilate the boy and his group.

However, a shocking scene unfolded before him.

The boy and his group continued their steady progress; Lao San, Lao Si, and Lao Wu continued hopping behind them like zombies.

Whenever a restriction was triggered or an array was about to activate, the boy lying on Run Sheng's back merely waved his hand, and these once dangerous situations were resolved in advance.

Li Zhiyuan frowned slightly, his nosebleed now soaking into Run Sheng's back.

Run Sheng wanted to pick up the pace, but the boy tugged at his clothes, signaling to maintain the same speed.

Going faster would prevent the boy from ensuring the restrictions were smoothed over.

Sitting in the Taishi Chair, the Great Elder opened his mouth.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel the same confusion as Lao Er before:

Whose home is this, really?

He needed to rely on the array eye disguised as the Taishi Chair under him to control the arrays in the house, whereas the other party could still proceed "as if walking on level ground."

The Great Elder's throat emitted a hoarse laugh:

"Heh, the other party is exceptionally adept at arrays and is coming here right now. Do you think, upon discovering the situation here, he will do nothing?

He has the ability to take action."

The coffins within the amber all began to vibrate.

Clearly, they were becoming worried.

Great Elder: "If Lao Er finishes his work outside and returns later, it'll be too late. Everyone, don't be naïve anymore. If the Zhao family completely collapses, who will protect you who sleep here?

You are all Zhao family's elite through the ages, well-informed; you should know the fate of an ancestral land of a fallen power.

Today is supposed to be a joyous day for the outer residence, surely guests are abundant.

But after today, the current guests will soon be replaced by those wearing different faces, devouring our Zhao family until it's completely gone.

As for this ancestral home, even if they are just a rabble, as long as given time, they could slowly wear down the courtyard walls.

Once this place falls, it will become a target for countless seekers of fortune looking to explore it in the future.
