Chapter 277: Chapter 0276-0277: Casually Catching a Punch_2

Duan Shaojie’s heart sank, thinking Chu Ge was indirectly rejecting his proposal. He said gravely, "Mr. Chu, Ghost Poison Sect also seems to have grievances with you, right? If the Ghost Poison Sect ultimately controls the Duan Family, I can simply abandon my ambitions and live a safe life. But, I’m afraid Ghost Poison Sect won’t easily let you off, will they?"

"Are you threatening me?" Chu Ge’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Duan Shaojie and said coldly.

Duan Shaojie’s breath hitched, feeling as if he was being targeted by a ferocious prehistoric beast, his heart even skipped a few beats.

"No, Mr. Chu, I was merely analyzing the situation for you, there was absolutely no threat intended!" Finally, when Chu Ge’s aura subsided, Duan Shaojie hurriedly explained while panting heavily.

However, this time, his gaze towards Chu Ge was no longer that of a partner but filled with faint fear!

On Chu Ge’s side, he swirled his wine glass, looking at the bloody red liquid silently for a few seconds before saying, "I can help you, but you need to do me a small favor."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Duan Shaojie’s spirits lifted, and he quickly said, "Please tell me, Mr. Chu!"

"The two hundred seventy-seventh Chapter."

"Simple, is there a Jade Pendant in your family’s ancestral hall?" Chu Ge looked directly into Duan Shaojie’s eyes and asked.

"Jade Pendant?" Duan Shaojie furrowed his brows, recalling briefly before nodding, "Yes, I remember now. Indeed, there is one. It’s said to be handed down by our ancestors and contains a huge secret. However, generations have been unable to decipher it, and assumed it was merely a legacy of our ancestors, so it has always been kept in the ancestral hall, worshipped alongside the Duan Family ancestors."

"How so, Mr. Chu, are you interested in that Jade Pendant?" Although Duan Shaojie didn’t understand why Chu Ge was interested in that unremarkable Jade Pendant, he still carefully inquired.

"Hmm, give me a timeline. How soon can you get the Jade Pendant to me?" Chu Ge didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Duan Shaojie paused, "For outsiders, to enter the Duan Family’s ancestral hall means annihilating the Duan Family itself, but for me, it’s a piece of cake. If Mr. Chu wants it, I can deliver it to you by tomorrow noon!"

"Very well." Chu Ge stood up abruptly and walked towards the door, "Just get the Jade Pendant to me, and I’ll immediately take action against Ghost Poison Sect."

However, just as Chu Ge was about to open the door, holding the handle, he suddenly turned back and smiled at Duan Shaojie, "Oh, and don’t play any tricks. Otherwise, what you’ll lose might not just be your position as the Duan Family Patriarch, but your life as well!"

After saying that, Chu Ge opened the door and stepped out of the private room.

Meanwhile, Xiahou Wudao and Duan Shaojie were still inside. Only after Chu Ge left did Duan Shaojie’s tensed body finally relax, he breathed heavily, "Whew— whew— So, this is what the legendary Ancient Martial Artists are like? The oppressive aura is just too terrifying!"

Watching Duan Shaojie’s state, Xiahou Wudao remained silent, continuing to sip his drink intermittently.

"Ah, you could at least say something. Why does Mr. Chu want that Jade Pendant? What secret does it really hide?" Duan Shaojie couldn’t help but ask as he looked at Xiahou Wudao.

Xiahou Wudao smiled at him and shook his head, "Honestly, I don’t know either. I also advise you, it’s best not to ask too much about certain things. Just see to it that you handle matters properly. Mr. Chu won’t go back on his word. Secure your position as the Duan Family Patriarch, and as for other matters, knowing too much might get you involved as well."

After finishing, Xiahou Wudao also put down his glass and left the private room.

Duan Congxing watched as Xiahou Wudao casually closed the door of the private room. After hesitating for a moment, he finally shouted outside, "Prepare the car, I’m going back to the clan. Also, notify the person guarding the ancestral hall, tell them I want to pay homage there tonight!"

...

At the entrance of the bar, Chu Ge strolled slowly along the road with both hands in his pockets.

As for Xiahou Wudao, he had received a call earlier, and Chu Ge had told him to head back first.

"Hehe, the Duan Family? It seems the more issues arise, the more entangles come to light." Chu Ge turned his head to look back at the bar that was still brightly lit in the distance, his face revealing a complex smile.

The bar was still some distance from the manor where Chu Ge resided. He did not use his True Qi but walked at the pace of an ordinary person. It took him a little over an hour to reach a small park not far from the manor.

By this time, it was already late at night. Although the small park was lit up everywhere, it was deserted. Chu Ge directly took a shortcut through the park, planning to return to the manor.

However, just as he was halfway through the shortcut, a big man dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit, his body rippling with muscles, slowly walked towards him from the opposite direction.

"Hmm?" Chu Ge looked at the big man, his eyes slightly narrowing.

Although he had only seen this big man a few times, the impression was rather deep.

"What, you’re seeking me out alone, planning to avenge Shi Wanwang?" Chu Ge’s indifferent tone carried far into the night sky.

Indeed, the muscular man in front of him was the one who followed Shi Wanwang, and his true identity was that of the chief disciple of the Vajra Sect, Shi Tianlei!

"Elder Shi was one of the two main pillars of our Vajra Sect, and now that he’s been killed by you, an explanation must be provided!" Shi Tianlei’s voice trembled slightly.

Honestly, he had no desire to confront Chu Ge, especially after witnessing a battle akin to that of gods and demons. He would have preferred to stay as far away as possible.

He had come today for two reasons: one was that if he simply returned like this, the Sect Leader would probably not let him off easily.

The second reason was that after witnessing that battle over the lake, Chu Ge had become his inner demon. If he did not come today, it would likely hinder his Martial Arts progress for the rest of his life!

However, if he could overcome this inner demon, his Martial Arts cultivation could make a great leap. Now at the peak of the Postnatal Realm, another step forward could very possibly lead him directly into the Innate Realm.

Becoming an Innate Grandmaster was an incredibly tempting prospect for someone in the Martial Arts World—it signified transcending life and death!

"Explanation?" Chu Ge’s eyes gradually turned cold: "What kind of explanation do you want from me, or should I say, what kind of explanation do you want for the Vajra Sect?"

Frankly, whether it was the Vajra Sect or the Ghost Poison Sect, Chu Ge had no good feelings for them, especially the Ghost Poison Sect, which he had already marked for death!

"You killed an elder of the Vajra Sect, you killed a disciple of the Vajra Sect, today, even if I am not a match, I must try!"

Finally, Shi Tianlei roared and with great courage, charged towards Chu Ge. In such a short span, he had already contemplated retreating.

He understood he could not delay any longer; the longer it went on, the greater the fear in his heart would grow. He could only opt for a quick battle! He hoped that when Chu Ge made his move, it would be light enough not to leave him with any lifelong injuries.

However, in just such a short moment, Chu Ge had already seen through his intentions.

"Hehe, you’ve developed an inner demon inside yourself and you want to break it through a fight with me?" Chu Ge watched Shi Tianlei charging at him, chuckled coldly, his eyes flashing with a hint of chill: "But will I let you have your way?"

As he watched Shi Tianlei’s fist swinging towards his face, even distorting the air around due to the True Qi it carried,

Chu Ge did not dodge or evade, just casually reached out a hand and in a fleeting moment, tightly grasped Shi Tianlei’s fist.

"This..."

Shi Tianlei’s eyes widened; he had thought his attack would be blocked, but he never expected that a full-force punch would be caught by the opponent so effortlessly and casually!
