Bai Yan pulled out a napkin from the dining table and wiped his hands, his expression indifferent as he glanced over the two people.
One was unconscious, the other devastated, the grand banquet Ma Mubo meticulously prepared did not cause any harm to Bai Yan; on the contrary, it even allowed Bai Yan to gain another Dragon Vein.
If it were not for the limit on the number of Demon Servants already being reached, he could have easily taken these two as his Demon Servants, avoiding so much trouble.
Bai Yan wiped his hands with the napkin, feeling somewhat regretful.
Bai Yan felt for the first time that sometimes, Demon Contracts were really a good thing — they could spare him a lot of trouble, but currently, Bai Yan had no spare slots for Demon Servants to take these two.
Bai Yan casually threw away the napkin, not even sparing a glance at Zhang Liang and Ma Mubo.
Yan Qing’s pretty face froze for a moment, then she quickly followed behind Bai Yan, looking at Bai Yan’s not so strong back, a strange thought surged in her heart.
This man... is really powerful!
At least among the Heavenly Pride Abnormals of her age in Hua Xia, Yan Qing had never heard of anyone possessing such heaven-defying combat abilities like Bai Yan.
Bai Yan glanced at the corpses of the Liu Family’s seven sons lying on the ground. These were A+ level Abnormals! Together, they were worth thousands of Demon Energy points!
"You go out first and wait for me."
Bai Yan ordered indifferently.
Yan Qing lowered her head and obediently agreed.
Yan Qing didn’t know when she started to not resist obeying Bai Yan’s orders.
Women innately have a subconscious habit to follow the will of the strong.
This is a tradition ingrained in the bones since the propagation of mankind.
Bai Yan watched Yan Qing leave the private room, then turned back and glanced at those two — Ma Mubo was unconscious, while Zhang Liang, devastated, had his head lowered, both unaware of Bai Yan’s actions.
Bai Yan, with a wave of his hand, gathered the corpses of Liu Family’s seven sons into the Abyss Territory.
The Liu Family Martial Arts is really persistent, leaving the comfortable HZ city to send a few direct descendants to death in ZH city, and now, all nine direct descendant Heavenly Prides perished at Bai Yan’s hands!
This could only mean that the Liu Family Martial Arts had brought it upon themselves.
Faced with freely offered Demon Energy, Bai Yan had no reason not to accept.
With Master Blood Dragon’s protection, Bai Yan was not worried about the old monsters of Liu Family Martial Arts making a move against him.
Bai Yan was most concerned about the safety of the several women by his side.
Bai Yan had already decided in his heart that he must quickly resolve the safety issues of the women!
Once Bai Yan has arranged a sufficiently powerful defense force for the women, the death date for Ma Mubo and Zhang Liang would arrive!
As for whether Zhang Liang and Ma Mubo would scheme against Bai Yan during this period, Bai Yan had also considered this. Between two evils, Bai Yan believed that facing the hatred of two broken men was far better than confronting the old monsters of Hua Xia directly.
Bai Yan pushed open the door of the private room, striding out, Yan Qing obediently stood by the private room’s door waiting for Bai Yan, while the staff members of the Abnormal People Organization in ZH city outside looked at the door of the private room dumbfounded.
Earlier, they could clearly hear several dragon chants from inside the private room, but without Ma Mubo’s order, these people dared not rashly enter the private room.
Bai Yan glanced at these people indifferently, and left ZH city’s Abnormal People Organization with Yan Qing.
Inside the private room, long after Bai Yan had left, the dazed expression on Zhang Liang’s face finally faded.
Zhang Liang lowered his head, his complexion pale blue, his eyes filled with resentment.
Previously, he didn’t dare show it; he could only keep his head down and feign ignorance because he valued his life and feared death, not daring to provoke Bai Yan.
Now that Bai Yan had left, he dared to reveal his resentment and unwillingness. Regret and shame cut through his heart like a knife, these negative emotions seemingly threatening to completely devour his soul!
"I...I can’t accept this!"
Muttering, Zhang Liang clenched his fists tightly; he felt his heart bleeding, the constant sense of powerlessness in his body constantly reminding him that he was now a cripple, indistinguishable from an ordinary person!
Now even the lowest-level abnormal could take his life, Zhang Liang!
For the exceedingly proud Zhang Liang, this was a fatal blow! More painful than killing him!
Zhang Liang glanced at Ma Mubo, who was unconscious on the ground, his eyes carrying a trace of hatred, if it wasn’t for Ma Mubo acting on his own initiative, scheming against Bai Yan, Zhang Liang would never have stood against Bai Yan!
But now even hating Ma Mubo was futile, this guy was as miserable as himself, both crippled by Bai Yan!
"No, this can’t just be let go! The humiliation he gave me, I must demand back a thousandfold!"
Zhang Liang’s eyes flickered with a hint of madness.
The Dragon Vein Family doesn’t necessarily have to ally with Dragon Vein Ascendants. Alliance is the best strategy.
If the alliance fails, then destroy the Dragon Vein Ascendant!
Zhang Liang was clever, he knew if he reported the situation truthfully to his family, Zhang’s Dragon Vein Family would likely abandon him, the useless one, and choose to please Bai Yan!
This was something Zhang Liang could not tolerate!
Because if he wanted to take revenge, he could only rely on his own Dragon Vein Family!
Zhang Liang had to present something that would sway his family to stand against Bai Yan, and Bai Yan just happened to possess such a thing!
That ancient painting was the biggest temptation!
No one in the private room, Bai Yan included, recognized the origin of the ancient painting, only Zhang Liang, a direct descendant of the Dragon Vein Family, knew its origin!
"Kid, you’re finished!"
Zhang Liang sneered and pulled out his phone, dialing an elder’s number in his family.
After several rings, the call connected, and a commanding male voice came from the other end: "Liang Er? How is everything going, did you find the person of Dragon Ascension?"
"Second Uncle, I found the person of Dragon Ascension, but there have been some changes, I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult to allure him now."
Zhang Liang pondered slightly, enduring the pain in his body, and spoke in a low voice.
"Hmm? What exactly happened!"
Zhang’s Second Uncle furrowed his brows on the other end of the phone, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zhang Liang was Zhang Family Dragon Vein’s most proud direct heir. Logically, with Zhang Liang handling it, there shouldn’t have been a possibility of failing to allure him! It’s known that Zhang Family prepared many tempting conditions to allure the person of Dragon Ascension.
Zhang’s Second Uncle could never have imagined that all these tempting conditions prepared by the Zhang Family would be of no use.
"Second Uncle, listen to me..."
Zhang Liang exaggerated as he reported the situation to his Second Uncle.
The other end of the phone went silent.
Zhang’s Second Uncle was weighing the benefits and disadvantages of this matter. For the Dragon Vein Family, although Zhang Liang being disabled was a loss of face, what Second Uncle needed to consider most was how much benefit Zhang Family could gain from this matter.
That is the nature of the Dragon Vein Family, cold and ruthless, concerned only with benefits, not sentiment.
Zhang Liang, knowing well the temper of his family, sneered coldly and quietly dropped the bomb he had prepared: "Second Uncle, there is another thing I need to tell you, I’ve found the location of the [Dragon Vein Divine Map]!"
From the other end of the phone came Zhang’s Second Uncle’s heavy breaths, he exclaimed in disbelief: "Dragon Vein Divine Map? Did you really find it? Liang Er, you are set to achieve a great merit!"
The Dragon Vein Divine Map, is a Huaxia Treasure desired by both the Dragon Vein Family and the controllers of Dragon Veins.
Rumored to record a Huaxia supreme mental method and techniques on the Dragon Vein Divine Map, it is said to be ten thousand times more powerful than the Internal Cultivation Methods used by Abnormals nowadays! Some say, the mental method on the Dragon Vein Divine Map is the supreme Immortal Technique left behind by ancient Huaxia Immortals!
Furthermore, what excites the Dragon Vein Family the most about the Dragon Vein Divine Map is its innate super-strong Perception and control over Dragon Veins!
It can be said, if a controller of Dragon Veins possesses the Dragon Vein Divine Map, then his ability to sense the Dragon Vein would be much stronger than others, even if this person had mediocre talents, he could become the strongest Dragon Vein controller in Huaxia with the help of the Divine Map!
And most crucially, the Dragon Vein Divine Map has a very dominant feature; it can help its owner plunder other people’s Dragon Veins!
The Dragon Vein Divine Map had been lost for a long time, yet it had unexpectedly been discovered by Zhang Liang today!
"Liang Er, tell me where the Dragon Vein Divine Map is, the family will send people to support you immediately!"
Zhang’s Second Uncle took a deep breath, his voice trembling tremendously, trying hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.
He couldn’t help but be excited, the temptation was simply too great!
"Second Uncle, the Dragon Vein Divine Map is in that Dragon Ascendant’s hands, my Dragon Vein has been plundered by him, do we still need to allure him now?"
Zhang Liang smirked cunningly, he had guessed right, the Dragon Vein Divine Map really stirred the Zhang Family’s interest!
"Still allure my ass! Kill and snatch the map!"
Zhang’s Second Uncle decisively said, his voice filled with extreme coldness and thick greed.
With the Dragon Vein Divine Map, a new Dragon Ascendant could be entirely recreated!
Why should they continue humbly seeking an alliance with the current Dragon Ascendant!
