My power increases 100 Jin a Day-Chapter 329 - 168: Another Encounter with Zhao Houcai! (Part 2)
"You think I want to? It’s all because of Jiang Shi. Now, enemies of Jiang Shi are everywhere across the world. If we stay here, we’ll be doomed sooner or later!"
Zhao Houcai said in a low voice, "The only way now is to set sail and travel far away, to completely avoid Jiang Shi and the enemies. But somehow... I have this ominous premonition..."
His brows were tightly furrowed, feeling that something was bound to happen today.
"Dad, just spare the ominous talk. Every time you mention it, it’s really ominous..."
Zhao Feiyan shivered.
"That’s right, we should leave first, and not get involved."
Zhao Houcai made a quick decision, got up immediately to settle the bill, and left the teahouse with his disciple and daughter.
However, they had just stepped outside.
Hoofbeats echoed on the street as a carriage slowly passed by. Outside the carriage sat a tall figure in a black robe, expressionless, as they walked past them.
"Jiang...Jiang..."
Zhao Feiyan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Houcai swiftly covered her mouth, looking horrified, and quickly dragged her back.
Damn it!
Jiang Shi!
This is really like seeing a ghost!
Running into him again?
How is this even fair?
"Hmm?"
As soon as there was movement, Jiang Shi, sitting on the carriage and deep in thought, suddenly sensed something. His eyes coldly scanned back, and he immediately brightened up.
"Oh, isn’t this the Throat-lock Hand Elder Zhao!!"
He gently pulled at the carriage, halting the stallion, revealing a look of joy.
Zhao Houcai and his disciple wailed continuously, filled with despair.
For crying out loud!
I knew today was going to be ominous!
Running into this too!
Damn heavens, are you toying with us?
"Jiang...Jiang... Young Hero?"
Zhao Houcai wailed.
"Elder Zhao, there’s something I need to ask you; would you please join me in the carriage?"
Jiang Shi spoke with a smile.
"Can’t we just talk here?"
Zhao Houcai said bitterly.
"Could it be... you’re not giving face?"
Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, I’ll come." Zhao Houcai said bitterly and immediately walked towards the carriage. His disciple and daughter stood in silent grief.
Now they understand why their master was so insistent on setting sail.
This is just... too eerie!
How do we always end up running into this monster!
Besides setting sail, there’s probably no other way.
Jiang Shi urged the horse to continue forward, calmly asking, "Does Elder Zhao know where the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion is? I’m new here, searched a few times but couldn’t find it, it’s quite perplexing."
"You... why do you want to find the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion?"
Zhao Houcai was startled.
"What else? To deliver him a Xiao Xiao Le!"
Jiang Shi replied.
Zhao Houcai shivered. Although he didn’t know what Xiao Xiao Le meant, he felt something was off. Under Jiang Shi’s pressure, he had no choice but to obediently guide the way.
Inside the teahouse, Mr. Huang, who was speaking with a dry mouth, finally paused for a moment to take a sip from the teacup next to him, but suddenly his pupils shrank as he looked out the window, trembling with fear, almost dropping the teacup.
"Jiang... Jiang Shi, that’s Jiang Shi!"
He exclaimed in surprise.
What?
Jiang Shi?
The entire inn burst into uproar, everyone turning their heads.
But when they looked back, there was no trace at all on the street.
...
The carriage wound through twists and turns, and under Zhao Houcai’s guidance, came to a red-walled, green-leafed manor. The entire manor looked exceedingly ancient, with a sense of time’s sediment.
Unlike a nouveau riche’s gate.
At first glance, this mansion gave off a vibe of understated luxury.
Guarding the threshold stood two disciples of the Kong Family in red robes.
"Young Hero Jiang, this... this is the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion, may I... may I leave now?"
Zhao Houcai bitterly thought, covering his face with his sleeve, hoping the people opposite wouldn’t recognize him.
This is a damned crime.
Jiang Shi actually dared to enter the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion on his own?
What kind of power is the Quzhou Kong Family? Almost everyone in the world knows, killing him a thousand times would be child’s play.
"So this is the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion."
Jiang Shi looked up, muttering to himself.
The two Kong Family disciples standing at the door frowned, sensing something was wrong.
"Who are you? Why did you park your carriage here? Leave quickly!"
One of them shouted, simultaneously channeling power, ready to defend at any time.
"Elder Zhao, you’re truly my lucky star, helping me with major tasks again and again. How about you don’t leave this time, and after I cleanse the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion, you can choose any ten treasures inside, how about it?"
Jiang Shi spoke.
"No, no, Young Hero Jiang, you’re too polite, I can’t risk disappearing, I think I should leave now, oh dear, my stomach hurts, I need to see a doctor...
Zhao Houcai covered his face, suddenly groaned, quickly got off the carriage, called his apprentice and daughter, and began to retreat, his calves cramping as he walked.
Did he just hear that right?
What does Jiang Shi intend to do?
He intends to cleanse the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion?
This news scared his soul out of his body, how could he dare to stay a moment longer?
"Kid, what did you just say? You’re courting death!"
The two gatekeeping Kong Family disciples’ faces changed, speaking in shock and anger, and without thinking, their bodies swiftly lunged forward.
Bang! Bang!
Muffled sounds echoed, and the two red-robed Kong Family disciples flew backward at a faster speed, crashing through the main door, landing tens of meters away.
"Elder Zhao, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? There are countless treasures inside the Kong Family, you can choose ten and ensure you have enough for a lifetime."
Jiang Shi turned and shouted.
Zhao Houcai covered his face, running even faster.
The apprentice and daughter beside him did the same.
The street was in an uproar, with surprised gazes gathering towards Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi frowned, ignoring them, and rose from the carriage, his body flickered, and in an instant entered the interior of the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion.
What puzzled him was that the entire interior of the Kong Family was inexplicably empty, except for the two figures just now, he didn’t see anyone else.
Logically, with such a huge commotion he caused, the experts inside should have been alerted long ago.
Yet as he walked all the way in, no one came to stop him.
The vast Kong Family Ancestral Mansion seemed to be empty.
"Have they run away?"
Jiang Shi’s face darkened, unwilling, he immediately rushed towards the inner part of the Kong Family Ancestral Mansion.
At this moment.
Inside the ancestral mansion.
In a dim great hall.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
Kong Futian, the Patriarch, sat high on the main seat, his face gloomy, motionless, his eyes looking towards the hall.
The once-glorious great hall was now devoid of its past splendor, leaving only six sparse individuals still present.
"Gentlemen, our Kong Family faces an unprecedented catastrophe now, likely the noise just now was Jiang Shi breaking in. Now, I need you all to join forces with me to annihilate Jiang Shi. As the saying goes, we raise troops for a thousand days to use them in a moment’s need. Our Kong Family has worshipped you for so long; it’s time for you to show your strength."
Kong Futian spoke.
Among the six remaining in the great hall, five of them frowned tightly.
They are the Kong Family’s enshrined members.
Now the entire Kong Family had fled, leaving only the Patriarch and a Kong Clan Elder.
Plus the five of them.
This clearly is treating them as cannon fodder...
Though they don’t know why Kong Futian didn’t escape, they also weren’t eager to send themselves to die.
"Patriarch is too courteous, it’s our duty to join forces with the Patriarch."
"Indeed, rest assured, Patriarch, we’ll certainly advance and retreat together with you!"
The five revealed slightly ingratiating smiles.
"Very well, in that case, I’ll have to trouble you all."
Kong Futian’s tone was gloomy as he pressed a mechanism nearby.
Everyone in the hall’s faces changed, sensing something amiss.
The next moment, an incredibly terrifying Grand Array appeared instantly, blood-red light covered the area, its aura horrifying, like an invisible rolling pin crushing over their bodies, extracting all their blood and energy.
Ah!
A shrill scream erupted.
All their blood and energy surged rapidly towards Kong Futian, and in the blink of an eye, only several shriveled human skins were left in the great hall.
