The old man in the bamboo hat had an extremely ugly expression.
He had originally thought it was just a simple slaughter, and then sending Zhou You’s head over would complete the task.
But he never expected that a strong Evil Forces member would appear?
Could it be that the Zhou Family has an intricate relationship with the Evil Forces?
"Za Yu!"
Ji Hao roared irritably, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
The old man in the bamboo hat's ugly face twitched, and he cursed in his heart, thinking, 'Is this idiot crazy?' "I... I went to the wrong door."
Ji Hao's power was too strong; he didn't even need to make a move for the old man to realize he couldn't be Ji Hao's opponent.
Even at his peak, he might not have gained any advantage.
"Hmm?"
Ji Hao raised an eyebrow, his voice low, "Are you messing with me? You can kill someone by going to the wrong door?"
The old man in the bamboo hat slowly said, "When you get old, you sometimes take the wrong path."
This was a perfect excuse.
At least, that's what the old man in the bamboo hat thought.
Getting old, forgetting directions, even being a bit of a scatterbrain, or having senile dementia, none of these are rare occurrences.
Bang!
Suddenly, Ji Hao moved like lightning, slapping the old man in the bamboo hat to the ground, blood splattering from his nose and mouth.
"How dare you act old and superior in front of me?"
Ji Hao roared, "Do you know who I am? Ah! Do you even know who I am?!"
The old man in the bamboo hat gritted his teeth, his body throbbing with pain; that slap was truly powerful.
The shadow of death enveloped him, making his thoughts chaotic.
Who was the other party?
He knew it was from the Evil Forces, and then what?
Oh, he remembered.
"You're Xiao Ji from the Evil Forces, right?"
The old man in the bamboo hat recalled Zhou You's address for him.
After saying this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glad he was so quick-witted.
Ji Hao smiled, a very ferocious smile.
Bang!
Ji Hao lifted his foot and kicked the old man in the bamboo hat wildly, "I'll Xiao Ji you, I'll Xiao Ji you! How dare you, you bastard, call me Xiao Ji?"
The old man in the bamboo hat was beaten, scurrying around with his head in his hands, then he roared fiercely, "I can't take it anymore!"
Boom!
Blood energy surged, air currents churned, and a golden-horned ox roared forth, formed from interwoven blood energy.
"Oh?"
"You seem to think you're very strong?"
Ji Hao's eyes were full of disdain.
The old man in the bamboo hat gritted his teeth, "So what if you're Evil Forces? Do you really think I'm afraid of—"
Rumble!
Even more violent air currents surged, and a Blood Spirit Kui stood between heaven and earth.
"—you."
The old man in the bamboo hat's mouth was dry, and his whole body trembled.
"Za Yu, how do you want to die?"
Ji Hao clenched his fist, "Tell me, do you want to be beaten to death by me, or do you want me to split you with a blade? Choose one, and I'll grant it to you."
Thump.
The old man in the bamboo hat knelt on both knees, "Young Master, spare my life. I'm just an old man who lost his way. Besides, if you kill an unarmed old man like me, it would damage your reputation if word gets out."
"Xiao Ji."
Zhou You slowly walked out, "No need to rush."
Ji Hao looked at Zhou You angrily, "You think I'd listen to you? You Za Yu!"
Zhou You didn't even look at him, walking straight to the old man in the bamboo hat. "Name."
"Yao Si, the Si from 'Si Ma Nan Zhui' (a phrase meaning 'a team of four horses is hard to catch up to')."
"Gender."
"Male... Male."
"Home address."
"No. 36 Alley, Datong Street, Beijiang City, the third house from the end."
"Who sent you?"
"Zhou Quan."
Yao Si was terrified. What the hell was going on?
He hadn't accomplished the task, but all his family information had been spilled.
"Second Uncle sent him?"
Zhou Chen exclaimed.
Zhou Xian curled his lips, not surprised at all by this.
Zhou Chao's face was so grim it looked like water was about to drip from it.
Zhou You said calmly, "Even in your current state, they shouldn't be able to butter you up, right?"
Yao Si quickly said, "Actually, I'm a tomb raider. I've spent years digging up graves and occasionally kicking in widows' doors. But three years ago, I ran into trouble, getting poisoned by a corpse and caught in a trap. After luckily escaping, I then got into a car accident and had both my legs broken by a luxurious carriage. I unexpectedly met Zhou Quan, who took care of me and has been providing me with funds for three years, which allowed me to recover. Therefore, when he asked me to kill, I came to kill. After all, one must have integrity in their heart and not be a white-eyed wolf who only eats without working."
"Everyone, I have a moral bottom line! I'm actually not completely bad!"
"Useless!"
Ji Hao spat, his face full of disgust. "Either be a completely bad person, or be a truly good person. If you're neither bad nor good, then you're just trash."
Yao Si said anxiously, "Young Master, there are many people like me, okay? Who can't talk big? If an old person falls, do you dare to help them up? You definitely wouldn't dare, right? Everyone is the same, why distinguish between us? At most, we all hide in dark corners and criticize others for being bystanders."
Ji Hao roared as if it were the most obvious thing, "I'm a bad person, how could I possibly help? Your argument is completely invalid!"
Yao Si gritted his teeth, infuriated. The Evil Forces truly had no good people.
They were all bastards gathered together.
Zhou You glanced at Ji Hao, who snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"How can I be sure what you're saying is true or false?"
Zhou You said coldly.
Yao Si grew anxious, "If I say one false word, may my mother's grave be dug up! May all my children be someone else's! Although I don't have children now, I definitely will in the future. Zhou Gongzi, believe me, you must believe me!"
As long as he could survive today.
Tomorrow, he would widely publicize today's events.
Colluding with the Evil Forces? Let's see if you die!
Zhou You frowned, "Your cultivation realm isn't low, Tian Yuan Realm?"
Yao Si sighed, "I'm ashamed, truly ashamed. I was indeed in the Tian Yuan Realm before. After suffering a great disaster, now at most I can only exert a portion of Yin Yang Realm strength."
Ji Hao went up and kicked Yao Si, sending him sprawling, "You're still ashamed?"
Yao Si's teeth ground together with a clicking sound, and in his heart, he was only cursing.
If it weren't for wanting to live, would I endure this from you?
Zhou You couldn't help but look at Ji Hao, "A tomb that could trap a Tian Yuan Realm tomb raider like this, it shouldn't be simple, right?"
Ji Hao was startled, then nodded thoughtfully. He then bent down, grabbed Yao Si by the neck, and lifted him, "Za Yu, tell me, was that a great tomb? What did you get from inside?"
Yao Si struggled to breathe, his eyes bulging.
"I order you, tell me immediately!"
Ji Hao roared at Yao Si, "Otherwise, I'll deep-fry you, you Za Yu!"
As the saying goes, let professionals handle professional tasks.
This fellow was a tomb raider by origin, and for his cultivation to reach the Tian Yuan Realm was truly extraordinary.
Yet even so, he was severely injured and couldn't recover for three years, which showed how unusual this tomb was.
Zhou You reminded, "If you keep this up, he'll suffocate to death."
Yao Si's veins bulged on his forehead, and his face turned purplish-red.
