Chapter 2224 - 2217: My Eldest Aunt Is Here

In order to get Zhang Menglong to relent, the entire Moyan Family had already given away almost a third of their treasure hoard. It’s not that they couldn’t offer more, but taking out what’s left might destabilize the foundation of their family.

To this day, they still didn’t know what else their ancestors possessed or whether the items in the spatial storage device were still there. It felt like they were using a third of the Moyan Family’s wealth to buy Schrodinger’s cat, uncertain whether it was worth spending so many resources for these bones.

"What’s the matter? Why aren’t you continuing? You’ve raised my trust level in you to 99.998%, and you’ll soon be able to unlock your ancestors’ bones completely." Zhang Menglong felt like he was a scam leader from Northern Myanmar, and the Moyan Family was just a bunch of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

But these pigs seemed to have awakened, and Zhang Menglong could no longer extract anything valuable from them.

Bai Si waved his hand and collected all the towering piles of supplies in front of Zhang Menglong. The righteous expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a fierce look.

"Zhang Menglong, my patience is running thin. I’ll give you one more chance: hand over the ancestors’ remains, and disclose the secrets beneath the blood pond. Perhaps we’ll spare your life as a favor for bringing back the ancestors’ remains."

"Are you just smashing the pot now?" Zhang Menglong looked at Bai Si. Since Bai Si wasn’t pretending anymore, Zhang Menglong decided not to pretend either. Constant pretending was exhausting, wasn’t it?

Bai Si remained silent, seemingly accepting the fact that things had gotten ugly.

"Very well, then I’ll tell you directly, with your attitude, you can’t get anything from me," Zhang Menglong said. "The things left by your ancestors, I’ll simply copy them down and post them on the public domain website, benefitting the entire continent. Isn’t that wonderful?"

"You won’t have any chance to leave here today," Bai Si said. "My Moyan Family has tens of thousands of Realm Breakers. In the entire world, there are few who dare to act recklessly against my Moyan Family. No matter how deep your background is or how powerful your methods are, no one can save you."

Bai Si’s smile gradually turned frightening. "Our Moyan Family has seventy thousand types of torture. If you’re unwilling to reveal your findings and secrets to us, then I’d be very pleased to see you experience all of them."

In their view, as long as Zhang Menglong was in the Moyan Family, the ancestors’ remains were as good as theirs. Even if Zhang Menglong threatened them with the remains, they certainly had the ability to stop him before he truly destroyed them. The previous entanglement with Zhang Menglong was just an effort to recover the ancestors’ remains as fully as possible.

"It’s a pity, but in reality, I do have a chance."

Just in case, Zhang Menglong had already discreetly sent a message to the outside world.

This small world can block ordinary signals, even quantum entanglement communications, but it’s unable to hinder the contact between Gou Dan and former hosts. The message that Zhang Menglong was trapped was sent to his family’s elders as quickly as possible.

Strangely, the first to respond to Zhang Menglong wasn’t Zhang Kai, but an ancestor named Zhang Ende, who ranked even higher than Zhang Kai.

"Child, what’s happening?" Zhang Ende sent a concerned greeting. Compared to Zhang Kai’s cynical and mischievous demeanor, this elder seemed like a genuinely wise elder.

"Ancestor, I’ve been trapped."

"Trapped? Who dares to trap someone from the Zhang Family?"

"I was doing a good deed, who would’ve thought I’d get targeted? I’m at a loss, family, who understands?" Zhang Menglong recounted his ordeal to his ancestor. Even across billions of light years, Zhang Menglong could feel the other’s anger and coldness.

"If I were still on this continent, I’d crush this damned Moyan Family," Zhang Ende said, "but unfortunately, I’m not here. If I forcibly use my power to interfere in this world, it’s very likely I could accidentally destroy the whole world."

"What to do then?" Zhang Menglong looked pained. "I’m all alone in this place, my family’s elders aren’t looking out for me, I’m so miserable..."

"Child, don’t cry," the ancestor quickly comforted him. "Although I’m unable to rescue you personally, I can arrange for someone."

"This Moyan Family isn’t weak. It’s said they have over ten thousand Realm Breakers. Is the person you summon up to the task?"

"Realm Breakers? At most, they’re no stronger than the sixth level of an Ultimate Life Form. Her power could erase this family with a flip of her hand."

"So powerful?" Zhang Menglong was slightly startled. Until now, he hadn’t truly seen his elders.

"It’s just some bloodline I left behind," Zhang Ende said. "They’ve spread and thrived across the ultimate world, establishing a vast hidden family. Of course, Zhang Menglong’s family’s direct bloodline still persists."

"Alright, I’ve notified her. She’ll arrive at your coordinates in a few minutes."

"What, I actually have relatives?" On Earth, Zhang Menglong indeed hadn’t had interactions with any relatives, and it seemed they had gradually left Earth when he was young.

"Of course you do," Zhang Ende laughed.

"How should I address this elder?"

"That’s a bit complicated. If you must have a title, she should be considered your aunt, and among your aunts, she should be the highest in rank."

"So, she’s my primary aunt?" Several black lines appeared on Zhang Menglong’s forehead.

Just then, a loud noise came from outside the building. Zhang Menglong was so startled that he almost dropped the milk tea cup he was holding. Everyone in the Moyan Family’s tribunal was also shaken to the core.

"What’s going on? She arrived so quickly?" Zhang Menglong could sense the power, but couldn’t detect anyone’s presence. It was as if some force was forcibly attacking the spatial barrier of this small world!

A holographic projection opened in front of Bai Si, displaying a flustered Moyan Family guard, whose image trembled violently amid repeated impacts.

"What’s happening?" Bai Si asked, his expression tense.

"We’re not sure, but judging by the current situation, something is impacting our spatial barrier like it wants to forcefully enter the Moyan Family’s small world!" The guard’s side was constantly filled with alarms from various instruments, making one’s heart anxious.

"Clan Leader, our spatial barrier can endure over 100 units of force for a long time, almost ten times the spatial strength limit, but this force’s power is close to 200 units. We won’t withstand many blows before our spatial barrier is broken!"
