Jiufeng Ridge.

As Taoist Mingxia was sent off by several members of the Zhou Family, Zhang Kaida happened to enter the gates of Zhou Family Mountain with the ransom.

When he saw Taoist Mingxia, he initially felt a surge of joy, thinking that Taoist Mingxia came to negotiate with the Zhou Family about the capture and detention of the Supreme Elder of his family, Zhang Shi’an, and to advise them to release him.

However, upon seeing Taoist Mingxia leaving alone and the absence of his own Supreme Elder, his heart chilled, realizing he might have been too hopeful.

Still, clutching at that sliver of hope, when he met Zhou Daoyi, he cautiously inquired, “May I ask Taoist Friend Zhou, no, may I ask Senior Zhou, what business brought Taoist Mingxia to the Zhou Family?”

As he spoke, his heart was filled with bitterness.

He remembered when he first knew Taoist Friend Zhou, both of their cultivation levels were at the mid- Foundation Establishment stage. Now, his cultivation had not advanced and remained at that level, while Zhou Daoyi had successfully opened his Purple Mansion, and he had to address the other as ‘Senior’. This truly made his heart ache bitterly.

But upon hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi simply lifted his eyes and glanced at him sideways, indifferently saying, “What concern is that of yours?”

Then, with a mocking tone, he added. “You don’t really think that Taoist Mingxia especially came to speak on behalf of Zhang Shi’an, do you? As if he’s worthy!”

The disdain in his voice was almost enough to infuriate Zhang Kaida to death.

He had never encountered such treatment before.

Although the Zhang Family of Tiantai Mountain wasn’t a Golden Core lineage, it was still a renowned cultivation clan in Lanzhou, usually even Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators would not speak to him with such an attitude.

But circumstances overpower strength!

No matter how bitter or angry he felt inside, he had no choice but to suppress it.

All he could do was to act as if nothing had happened, and in a low voice, he said. “May this junior first meet the Supreme Elder of my Zhang Family?”

“If you want to see him, go ahead; I’m not afraid you’ll try anything!” Zhou Daoyi replied indifferently and led Zhang Kaida straight to the top of the mountain cavern.

It wasn’t surprising he mocked Zhang Kaida like this. The things Zhang Kaida had done before were truly annoying.

So disgusting that even though it wasn’t appropriate to annihilate the Zhang Family now, Zhou Daoyi still wanted to severely impact Zhang Kaida’s heart, letting him feel disgusted for the rest of his life.

As for whether this would incur Zhang Kaida’s resentment and lead to continued hostility against the Zhou Family in the future, Zhou Daoyi didn’t care at all.

If Zhang Kaida really dared to do so, it would just provide the Zhou Family another excuse to retaliate against the Zhang Family.

Yet, he felt that after this incident, Zhang Kaida and Zhang Shi’an probably wouldn’t have the guts to plot anything in secret again.

Didn’t the Zhou Family hate Yu Jinghua?

But up until now, the Zhou Family hadn’t made a single move!

If the leader of a clan couldn’t learn from repeated lessons, then the clan deserved to be annihilated.

By the time Zhou Daoyi and Zhang Kaida arrived at the mountain top cavern, Zhang Shi’an, who was obediently waiting inside, quickly met up with him.

“You’ve finally come, Kaida!”

Seeing Zhang Kaida, Zhang Shi’an’s expression immediately became excited. He hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and asked, “How did it go? Did you bring everything I asked you to?”

“I brought everything; it’s all in here.”

Zhang Kaida said as he took off his storage pouch and handed it over to Zhang Shi’an.

“Good, good, good! It’s good that you brought it!” Zhang Shi’an repeatedly exclaimed in relief.

He shook the storage pouch, pouring out its contents.

“A Millennium Mysticearth Ginseng, five Spirit Ginsengs of six hundred years, ten Yellow Essences of five hundred years, two second-grade superior magic artifacts, three second-grade middle magic artifacts, one third-grade inferior talisman, a piece of Iron Essence, four alchemy recipes, and thirty-four thousand Spirit Coins!”

He listed the items one by one with the expertise of a connoisseur, and with each item, Zhang Kaida’s heart bled.

These items were the accumulation of the Zhang Family over many years, assets they had been reluctant to use even during difficult times.

Now, to ransom back Zhang Shi’an and appease the Zhou Family, they had no choice but to bring them forth.

But at this moment, Zhang Shi’an had no time to grieve over these items. After Zhang Kaida finished listing them, he immediately turned to Zhou Mingde and said, “Taoist Friend Zhou, please look, everything agreed upon is here; can I return to my family now?”

“It’ll do. Considering Taoist Friend Zhang has brought what was promised with sincerity, let’s consider the matter settled. Taoist Friend Zhang, you are free to go.”

Zhou Mingde waved his hand, not intending to make things any more difficult.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi’an instantly showed a look of joy, and hastily thanked him with clasped hands, “Thank you, Taoist Friend Zhou, thank you. With that, I shall take my leave!”

He then immediately pulled Zhang Kaida out of the mountain top cavern, and under the Zhou’s watchful eyes, they rapidly left Jiufeng Ridge.

After watching the two of them leave, Zhou Chun turned his gaze to the pile of items on the ground, couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Who would have thought that the Zhang Family, with its centuries-old heritage, would actually possess a Millennium Spirit Medicine and a piece of Iron Essence, indeed one must never underestimate the foundation of any great cultivation clan!”

The rarity and value of the Millennium Spirit Medicine need not be mentioned, as it was an absolute treasure.

The Iron Essence, similarly a material precious for artifact refining comparable to the Millennium Spirit Medicine, is said to be extractable from Profound Iron only by Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators who have mastered powerful flame Divine Skills or Golden Core Stage Cultivators with Alchemy Fire.
