The two frantically dug Zhang Yongkang out of the rubble. At this moment, his whole body was covered in dust, bleeding from his seven orifices, almost perishing alongside Thundercloud Peak.

However, as they approached, they could still hear a faint trace of breathing.

Zhang Shaoyang quickly took out a healing elixir from his storage bag and stuffed it into Zhang Yongkang's mouth, simultaneously channeling a bit of magical power into him to heal his injuries.

But soon, Zhang Shaoyang's expression turned grim, eyes filled with sorrow.

"Shaoyang! Senior Brother!"

Yang Ping'er stumbled over with difficulty and said, "How is your father, he..."

Zhang Shaoyang hesitated, "Father's injuries are severe, he must rest quietly, otherwise..."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

At this moment, Zhang Yongkang also began to cough violently, waking up. He suddenly grabbed Zhang Shaoyang's arm and said, "Quick, quick... Thundercloud Peak isn't dead yet..."

What?

"Boom!"

A pile of ruins nearby suddenly exploded, and who else but Thundercloud Peak emerged from it?

However, he was in a state of disarray, covered in blood, clearly also seriously injured.

He gave everyone a vicious look, then suddenly burst forth with a terrifying power from within, dashing away into the distance.

"Zhang Yongkang, the Lei family will never forget this grudge, when Lei... pu!"

Before he could finish speaking, a dark figure appeared before him, punching through his abdomen.

"No, impossible... cough, cough, cough..."

Struggling, he turned around, his peripheral vision only catching a glimpse of an entirely black puppet.

"Puppet? Cough, cough..."

He coughed weakly, then his body collapsed powerlessly onto the puppet.

Xuan Ye grabbed the storage bag from Thundercloud Peak's waist and landed back on the ground.

Zhang Shaoyang exclaimed with joy, "Dad, look! Thundercloud Peak is dead! Hahaha, Thundercloud Peak is finally dead."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Zhang Yongkang strained, "I saw it, wonderful!"

"With the Lei family gone and you advancing to Foundation Establishment, the Zhang family's prosperity is imminent, hahaha... cough, cough..."

As he spoke, crimson blood spurted from his mouth, staining his chest.

"Dad! Stop talking, I'll take you to heal..."

With that, he picked up Zhang Yongkang, and the four of them quickly headed towards the main residence.

Unexpectedly, on the way, a dark figure blocked them.

It was the puppet!

Zhang Shaoyang turned back curiously, "Second Aunt, why is this puppet..."

Yang Ping'er suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Shaoyang! Senior Brother! This puppet was loaned; it can only be used for a quarter of an hour."

"And the loan conditions are that it wants all the treasures of cultivators currently on Weiyang Mountain!"

"Storage bags, magical artifacts, spirit stones, elixirs, they're all part of the loan conditions!"

"What?"

The two exclaimed in surprise, but Zhang Shaoyang quickly responded, "Second Aunt, you're injured too, leave father to you."

"Shaoxing, you come with me to collect the storage bags from all the cultivators' corpses and offer them to the system."

"Alright!"

Then Yang Ping'er came to take care of Zhang Yongkang, while Zhang Shaoyang and Zhang Shaoxing swiftly gathered the bodies of the cultivators in the ruins.

Zhang Shaoyang soon found the corpse of his third brother, Zhang Shaohai, could only sigh silently, taking his storage bag and flying sword, and properly arranging his body.

Quickly, they collected ten storage bags and placed them respectfully before the puppet Xuan Ye.

Among these eleven storage bags, five were from the loose cultivators of Niumo Mountain, and four were from the Lei family cultivators, including the storage bag of Lei Tianming, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The last one was from Zhang Family's third son, Zhang Shaohai.

After this battle, the Lei family and Niumo Mountain cultivators were annihilated, while the Zhang Family only lost the third son Zhang Shaohai.

It must be said, this war was still a win for the Zhang Family.

As for Thundercloud Peak's storage bag, it had long been in the hands of the puppet Xuan Ye.

But strangely, after receiving these ten storage bags, puppet Xuan Ye did not leave but continued to quietly watch them.

Zhang Shaoxing said strangely, "Big brother, why hasn't this puppet left, what's it waiting for?"

Zhang Shaoyang was also puzzled, "I don't know either, what's it still wanting to do?"

"A quarter of an hour, should be almost up..."

Just then, Zhang Yongkang, who was meditating with his eyes closed but still looked deathly pale, suddenly said, "Still, missing four storage bags!"

"What?"

The three looked at each other, not understanding what Zhang Yongkang meant.

And Zhang Yongkang made a choice through his actions.

They saw him struggle to pull off the storage bag at his waist and throw it to the puppet Xuan Ye.

"This..."

The three suddenly realized, the puppet Xuan Ye was still waiting for their storage bags!

Within the Weiyang Mountain range, all cultivators' treasures!

Previously, they thought it was just the fallen Lei family and Niumo Mountain cultivators' property.

Unexpectedly, it included them as well.

Zhang Shaoxing was anxious, "Dad! If we give all our storage bags to the system, what are we going to do in the future!"

"Indeed..."

Yang Ping'er hesitated, "Senior Brother, according to the 'Canglan Covenant,' Shaoyang must report to the Nether Abyss in a year after advancing to Foundation Establishment. If we hand over all the storage bags..."

"Second Aunt!"

Zhang Shaoyang, however, pulled off his storage bag and threw it to the puppet Xuan Ye.

"What we promised the system, we must fulfill."

"If it weren't for the system, the Zhang Family would have long been destroyed by the Lei family, how could we still be alive now?"

"And Shaohai, if only I had left seclusion earlier..."

Yang Ping'er's eyes reddened, "Shaohai... sob, sob, sob, it's mother's fault..."

Though pained, she still pulled off her storage bag and threw it to the puppet Xuan Ye.

Seeing their father, mother, and elder brother all gave their storage bags to the puppet, Zhang Shaoxing also reluctantly pulled off his storage bag and threw it over, filled with conflicting emotions.

After receiving a total of fifteen storage bags, puppet Xuan Ye finally moved.

It came before Yang Ping'er, and the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror fragment on her chest suddenly emitted a gentle bronze light, enveloping her entirely.

In a moment, it disappeared without a trace.

"Phew..."

Once the puppet Xuan Ye disappeared, only then did a few people breathe a long sigh of relief.

For some reason, even knowing it wouldn't harm them, the presence of this Golden Core Stage puppet felt like a massive stone weighing on their hearts.

Only after puppet Xuan Ye left did the four finally feel a sense of relief.

"Dad! Let me help you back to rest..."

Zhang Shaoyang assisted Zhang Yongkang again, but Zhang Yongkang suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, "Shaoyang, never mind me, hurry to the Lei family!"

"To the Lei family?"

The few looked at each other, why go to the Lei family?

Zhang Yongkang gritted his teeth, "The Lei Family secretly collected the spirit stone vein, the gathered spirit stones must still be in the warehouse."

"Now that both Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lei Family are fallen, the stored spirit stones, materials, and magical artifacts all belong to you now!"

Their eyes lit up sharply.

They had just surrendered all their belongings to the system, and at this moment, they were practically penniless. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But if they can bring the Lei Family's belongings into their fold... it'd be quite the turnaround.

Yang Ping'er, however, said, "Senior Brother, we still owe the system half the interest, if we can acquire the Lei Family's holdings, it should be enough!"

"Interest? How much?"

"The contribution of treasures today converts to half the spirit stones."

"The contribution of treasures to half the spirit stones..."

Zhang Yongkang gritted his teeth, "Yang'er, hurry! Don't let others beat you to it."

"Yes, Father!"

Zhang Shaoyang agreed, and his whole body shot into the sky, heading straight for the Lei family.

But Zhang Yongkang sighed inwardly, "I won't last many more days, as soon as I return, I must arrange my affairs."

"Senior Brother!"

"Dad...!"
