Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Final Battle, Be More Passionate

Cold City, Ling Family’s old house.

Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi squatted side by side in the garden, picking at the soil with their hands, molding it into little figures, and then crushing them.

No profound meaning, not contemplating; purely because they were bored.

All preparations were complete, now they could only wait.

"So what exactly is going on?" Li Yueqi was still confused; she always felt the Cold City matters were all over the place.

She was called back here by Zhang Ze from the City Lord’s Mansion; she was the last to arrive and saw a group of people showcasing their divine techniques as they left the courtyard.

Even Lin Hai, the Sword Hall Chief here, was among them.

Now it was almost dark, and only Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi remained in the courtyard.

Hei Qu and Qinghe had gone for a walk nearby.

Yes, Qinghe was walking Hei Qu.

Zhang Ze slapped the Pikachu he’d molded like a dog into pieces and paused.

"What’s the matter?"

"The matter of Cold City!" Li Yueqi brushed the soil off her hands and stood up.

"Oh, let me sort it out for you."

Zhang Ze also stood up, cleaned the soil off his hands, and walked side by side with Li Yueqi, the two of them began circling around the courtyard.

"It should be June, I can’t quite remember.

"My junior brother Lin Feng and I bombed an old nest of the Spiritual Snake Helm.

"Then I got a Stone Pill, which is Li.

"An old acquaintance of Grandpa Wang was born of the Stone Pill.

"Because of my matters, Grandpa Wang renewed his affection with Aunt Niao...

"Seven or eight letters exchanged in a week, all about the matters concerning the Stone Pill.

"Aunt Niao had written in her letters before that the Stone Pill could hatch within half a year at most, if not, we should go find her.

"But Li showed signs of waking up ahead of time.

"Just idling around and the year-end was approaching.

"So I brought my junior sister to Cold City, planning to solve the Stone Pill issue ahead of time, and take a break."

Zhang Ze calculated the time, "My junior sister and I arrived in Cold City on the night of October 1st."

"But Aunt Niao’s family was poisoned by that woman Han Yao over a month ago."

"At the time, to protect her daughter, Aunt Niao took the remaining daughter back to her birthplace, used the array to dream-lock Cold City, and did some arrangements.

"After all, if Grandpa Wang suddenly noticed Aunt Niao’s unread response, he would definitely come to find her.

"Aunt Niao’s original intention was to use the Jade Pendant she gave Grandpa Wang as a guide.

"To lead Grandpa Wang to the place where they first slept... er, first met."

Zhang Ze took out the Jade Box from his chest, placed the Jade Pendant at the opening, and took out the letter inside.

"This letter should guide Grandpa Wang to that Secret Realm to rescue Aunt Niao.

"And would lead to a poignant reunion, a hero saving the beauty.

"But coincidentally, Grandpa Wang was sent on a mission by our Pavilion Master.

"The correspondence was simultaneously interrupted on both sides.

"He didn’t realize Aunt Niao was in trouble.

"However, Grandpa Wang deduced before he left that I would go to Cold City ahead of time.

"As luck would have it, he slipped a whisper into the Jade Pendant, asking me to bring it over for him."

Li Yueqi continued to ask, "What happens next?"

"Then came the events of these three days." Zhang Ze sat down on a stone stool in the courtyard, picking at the carved chessboard grooves on the stone table.

"Three days?" Li Yueqi also sat down and took out some snacks and drinks from the Storage Magical Artifact, "Why do I feel like it’s been ages?"

"I feel the same, but don’t interrupt, listen to me."

"On the night of October 1st, my junior sister and I stayed at an inn, but we didn’t do anything, hmm, didn’t do anything." Zhang Ze bit into a pear.

"On the morning of October 2nd, my junior sister and I went to the new site of the Ling Family at Five Rams Slope to search for Aunt Niao. But because of the dream, we couldn’t find anything."

"Weren’t you immune to the dream’s influence? Couldn’t you see such a large house?" Li Qiuyue cracked sunflower seeds.

Zhang Ze shook his head, "I didn’t know. At that time, my junior sister and I didn’t see anything."

"But just now, when we came back, we happened to revisit Five Rams Slope, all of us awake could see that house.

"This must be asked to Aunt Niao."

"Yes, continue." Li Yueqi found the sunflower seeds unpalatable and began peeling five-spice peanuts.

"On October 2nd, after searching fruitlessly all morning, we returned to the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion and found you."

Zhang Ze placed a strip of meat in his mouth.

"That’s Hei Qu’s food... but it doesn’t matter. It’s fine, people can eat it too, it’s all good meat." Li Yueqi wanted to remind him, but it was too late.

"...."

"Okay okay, I won’t interrupt, keep talking."

Zhang Ze spat out the jerky and began peeling pomegranates.

"On the night of October 2nd, by coincidence, Senior Sister Li, you hid your cultivation, becoming Mu Qiu’s target.

"But Mu Qiu never expected his way home from the Sword Hall would cross paths with his subordinates who were ready to act.

"Could only silence them, then invited us to the City Lord’s Mansion, for reasons unknown?

"Mu Qiu is dead, so it’s unknown, and it doesn’t matter.

"Anyway, that night, Mu Qiu just died.

"Probably done by Han Yao.

"On the morning of October 3rd, I was helped by Master Hui Xuan..."

"Which one, the dark one or the small one?" Li Yueqi asked.

"The small one, the dark one is called Hui Ming. I’ll call them the elders Xuanming later... stop interrupting."

Zhang Ze’s following words were shameless.

"I was guided by a little monk.

"But mainly, with my wise and heroic intellect, I saw through the Illusion Array and found the Ling Family’s old house.

"Through my ultimate unbeatable intelligence network, I discovered Madam Han Yao was the real culprit.

"Then we split up; you went to keep an eye on Han Yao, I went to find Aunt Niao.

"On Aunt Niao’s side, I met Master Hui Xuan, saved him, and met Aunt Niao.

"Madam Han Yao’s lair and her two doppelgangers were directly found out because of Fuji.

After finishing, Zhang Ze spread his hands, "That’s it, that’s the situation."

"So the truth is revealed?" Li Yueqi, having understood, asked.

Zhang Ze shook his head like a rattle, "That can’t be."

"There are still a pile of problems."

"What exactly is the Stone Pill?

"Where is the Taoist Temple where Aunt Niao stayed?

"Where did the array and Profound Identification Treasure Mirror in it come from?

"I don’t know at all, have to wait for Aunt Niao to wake up... hmm... ah, so comfortable."

Zhang Ze said this, got up, stretched his body with a big lazy stretch, then let out a comfortable but very annoying moan.

"So why did you call me here?" Li Yueqi rose from the stone chair, looking at Zhang Ze, who was stretching his muscles in the courtyard.

"To fight." Zhang Ze continued stretching.

"Those demons caught by Madam Han Yao were turned into statues, need to save them.

"And I love simple methods, the simpler they are, the less room for error.

"I’m planning to directly move the entire Demon Refining Array.

"Once the demons are safe, then I’ll kill this old snake Han Yao."

Li Yueqi circled around the utterly relaxed Zhang Ze twice, "Why aren’t you nervous?"

"What’s there to be nervous about? We are the kind of people who do great things; staying calm in the face of danger is basic."

Zhang Ze opened the Hundred Treasures Bag and rummaged through a pile of junk for a few weapons.

Eventually, he picked out a hammer.

"Aren’t you from the Sword Sect?" Li Yueqi asked.

She found Zhang Ze a bit abnormal; a sword cultivator not using Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist Art and carrying a hammer instead.

"I haven’t practiced swordsmanship much; until now, I can just perform one set of Sword Stepping on the Qing River."

"And as long as there’s a sword in the heart, whatever’s in hand is the same." Zhang Ze carried the hammer on his shoulder.

"Our seventh Sword Pavilion’s Golden Core Realm peerless, what they wield is still a door plank."

Li Yueqi had heard of Qiao Lezhi’s story, chuckled dryly twice.

Just then, little Fuji climbed out of the ground.

"Ready!" She waved her hand happily.

Zhang Ze brought out the Sound Transmission Jade.

"Fuji is ready."

"Everyone, get ready to act!"

Scattered responses came from the Sound Transmission Jade, everyone seemed to lack enthusiasm.
