As far as they were concerned, this was the Zhang Clan!
Not to mention the Zhang Clan's Patriarch was their husband and father, even if it was all the Zhang Clan elders, it would be impossible for them to side with an outsider like Duan Lingtian.
But now, Zhang Shou Yong had interfered like this and even threatened everyone in the Zhang Clan with his words, causing them to realize danger.
All the Zhang Clan elders recovered from their shock, and their faces went grim.
Only the Zhang Clan's Patriarch had a helpless and bitter smile on his face, and he seemed to have realized since long ago that Zhang Shou Yong would act in this way.
In next to no time, the group of Zhang Clan elders looked at each other.
The atmosphere at the scene went silent for a time.
Duan Lingtian knew clearly that this group of Zhang Clan elders were probably communicating via voice transmission now …
Not long after, there would be an outcome.
"With Big Brother Zhang's natural talent and strength, advancing in the Dynasty Martial Competition is extremely easy … It's even to the extent that Big Brother Zhang will most likely be able to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties begins!"
"A young genius at the Void Interpretation Stage is sufficient to stand out in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties and suppress everyone! If a young genius like this is able to obtain an extremely great honor in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, then as the power he belongs to, the Zhang Clan will surely be able to obtain great benefits. "
"So … It's impossible for the Zhang Clan to allow Big Brother Zhang to leave at this time."
This was something that Duan Lingtian was extremely sure of.
The facts proved that Duan Lingtian's thoughts were completely correct.
The group of Zhang Clan elders quickly came to a consensus …
They would follow Zhang Shou Yong's wishes and punish the culprit!
"Eldest Young Master."
Amongst the group of Zhang Clan elders present, the most dignified white haired white browed elder said slowly, "Even though this matter is related to the Madam and Second Young Master, as the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is punished the same as the commoners. We naturally can't be biased … But, since this Little Brother is completely unharmed and the three people that attacked him are already dead, even according to the rules of our Zhang Clan, the Madam and Second Young Master's crimes don't warrant death."
"It doesn't warrant death … But it ought to be sufficient to cripple their cultivations, right?"
Zhang Shou Yong continued.
Cripple their cultivations!
As soon as Zhang Shou Yong was finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene, the Zhang Clan was Zhang Shou Yong was in the Heavens.
In this Cloud Continent where the Martial Dao prevailed and the strong were respected, to most martial artists, cultivation was far more important than their own lives.
Without his cultivation, he would rather die than live!
On the other hand, the expressions of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's wife and Second Young Master went grim when they heard Zhang Shou Yong.
Cripple his cultivation?
"Mother, I don't want to have my cultivation crippled."
The Second Young Master was frightened out of his wits and spoke with a sobbing tone.
"Yuan 'er, don't worry. No one can cripple your cultivation …"
The Patriarch's wife took a deep breath and took a step forward. She looked at Zhang Shouyong and said in a low voice, "Without my orders, no one is able to command the guards by my side … Therefore, the matter this time has nothing to do with Yuan-er!"
Zhang Shou Yong said indifferently, "If it has nothing to do with him, then so be it … Your cultivation will be crippled. Give my brother Ling Tian an explanation."
"Hmph!"
Madam Patriarch gave a low snort, looking like she was waiting to be slaughtered.
But her eyes were suffused with flowing lights that were filled with killing intent, and they condensed onto the nearby Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's face sank when he sensed the Patriarch's wife's killing intent.
This vile woman is still so thickheaded even at a time like this?
She truly deserves death!
"Make your move."
When he saw the group of elders looking over, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch sighed and waved his hand.
"Enforcement Elder."
The white haired and white browed elder looked at a green clothed old man and spoke slowly.
The green clothed old man was precisely the Zhang Clan's Enforcement Elder.
"Madam, I'm sorry."
The Enforcement Elder took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the Patriarch's wife.
Duan Lingtian watched all this coldly from the sidelines.
When he saw the Enforcement Elder arrive before the Patriarch's wife, he slowly raised his hand.
"Don't touch my mother!"
An explosive shout sounded out abruptly. It was Zhang Shou Yong who couldn't restrain himself, and his figure flashed out to block before the Patriarch's wife and obstruct the Enforcement Elder.
"Second Young Master."
The Enforcement Elder couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he saw Zhang Shou Yong interfering, and he slowly put down his hand.
"Fuck off! Otherwise, I'll cripple you as well. "
Zhang Shou Yong's eyes narrowed as cold lights flashed within them, and he shouted with a low voice.
Zhang Shou Yong's face couldn't help but go grim when he heard Zhang Shou Yong's stern shout, and his body started to tremble. "You … You … Zhang Shou Yong … I'm your younger brother!"
"Younger brother?"
Zhang Shou Yong sneered. "Now, you admit you're my younger brother? In the past, I could endure and not fuss about it when you made things difficult for me … But today, I'll absolutely not stand idly by when you and your son bully my friend! "
Zhang Shou Yong's words were resounding.
Zhang Shou Yong was terrified to the point his face went ghastly pale, and his body trembled without end and showed signs of being unable to stop.
"Yuan 'er, move aside."
The Patriarch's wife spoke with a low voice.
"Father!"
Zhang Shou Yong looked at his father, the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan, with an unwilling expression.
But unfortunately, the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan couldn't back down now.
He was extremely clear about his eldest son's character.
Words spoken were like spilled water, and it was difficult to take it back.
Today, if he couldn't give his eldest son an explanation, then he didn't doubt in the slightest that his eldest son would leave the Zhang Clan.
"Yuan 'er, listen to your mother."
The Patriarch shook his head and spoke to Zhang Shou Yong.
"Second Young Master."
The Enforcement Elder looked at Zhang Shou Yong and sighed before raising his hand once more.
"Zhang Shou Yong!"
But Zhang Shou Yong still didn't move aside, and he looked at Zhang Shou Yong instead as he said with a low voice, "I know you want to stand up for your friend today … How about this, I'll use a thing as an exchange. So long as you let my mother go, I'll give that thing to you. "
Zhang Shou Yong's words caused most of the people present to be unable to refrain from being stunned.
Could the matter today be turned around by a single thing?
"I'm not interested!"
Sure enough, Zhang Shou Yong glanced at Zhang Shou Yong with disdain as he spoke indifferently.
"Are you sure you're not interested in it?"
Zhang Shou Yong took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand. "If I'm not wrong, you were already searching for this thing a few months ago …"
At practically the instant Zhang Shou Yong finished speaking, a thing had appeared in his hand.
This was a peculiar thing that looked like a medicinal material.
Most importantly, this medicinal material looked like an old tree root, extremely ordinary, and no value could be discerned from it.
The group of Zhang Clan elders originally thought that Zhang Shou Yong would take out some sort of 'treasure,' but never had they imagined that it would be such an inconspicuous thing, and they couldn't help but shake their heads.
They felt that Zhang Shou Yong was unable to save his mother.
However, Zhang Shou Yong's originally calm expression was completely stunned when he saw the medicinal material in Zhang Shou Yong's hand.
Why does this thing look so familiar?
In next to no time, Zhang Shou Yong recovered from his shock and looked at Duan Lingtian who was by his side.
Whereas presently, Duan Lingtian stood there dumbstruck as he stared blankly at the thing in Zhang Shou Yong's hand …
"Ageless … Ageless Root!!"
Duan Lingtian's feelings were indescribable, and they were extremely agitated.
Never had he imagined that.
The thing he yearned for day and night would appear here, in Zhang Shou Yong's hands.
"Brother Ling Tian."
Meanwhile, an exceedingly clear voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears, and it was precisely Zhang Shou Yong's voice. "You … Do you want to continue making my Second Mother pay the price for her actions, or do you want this medicinal material?"
Now, Zhang Shou Yong recalled.
Wasn't the thing in Zhang Shou Yong's hand the Ageless Root that Duan Lingtian asked him to help find earlier?
"I want this medicinal material!"
Duan Lingtian didn't hesitate in the slightest and spoke frankly.
What a joke!
Even though he hated the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's wife to the extreme.
But before the Ageless Root, the little bit of enmity between him and the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's wife was utterly nothing.
The Ageless Root was one of the two auxiliary medicinal catalysts for the Rebirth Pill.
Duan Lingtian had already obtained the other auxiliary medicinal catalyst, the Phoenixwing Herb.
Even if it was amongst the medicinal catalysts required for the Rebirth Pill, the most important main medicinal catalyst, the Red Luan's blood, Duan Lingtian had obtained it long ago.
As for the other medicinal materials, they were extremely ordinary, and Duan Lingtian had already prepared them long ago.
Presently, Duan Lingtian could be said to be completely prepared and only lacked the crucial element …
So long as he obtained the Ageless Root, he would be able to directly refine the Rebirth Pill.
The Rebirth Pill was a medicinal pill with an extremely overbearing medicinal strength, and it was capable of allowing one's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds … The increase was so great that it was shocking!
"I've already broken through to the sixth level of the Void Initiation Stage now … If I'm able to consume the Rebirth Pill, then my cultivation will probably be able to directly break through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage in a short period of time!"
This was something that Duan Lingtian didn't doubt in the slightest.
The medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill was recorded in detail in the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu.
After all, when the medicinal strength of a Rebirth Pill was completely consumed, it was even to the extent that it allowed Samsara Emperor Wu who'd attained the Emperor Wu Stage all those years ago to break through a few levels in one go.
When one arrived at the Emperor Wu Stage, the gap between every single level was undoubtedly like a chasm.
The Origin Energy of only a single level of difference would probably far surpass the gap between Duan Lingtian's current Origin Energy and the Origin Energy of a first level Martial Monarch Stage expert.
"Understood."
Zhang Shou Yong nodded when he obtained Duan Lingtian's reply, then he looked at Zhang Shou Yuan and said indifferently, "Deal!"
Deal!
Zhang Shou Yuan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Shou Yong's words.
Actually, he didn't have any confidence in the beginning.
Even though he knew that Zhang Shou Yong had already started searching for the medicinal material in his possession a few months ago, he wasn't sure how great Zhang Shou Yong's desire towards this medicinal material was.
Now, when he heard Zhang Shou Yong agree, his heart that was in his throat eased up.
He wasn't worried that Zhang Shou Yong would regret it.
After all, there was a group of people that had witnessed the 'deal' between him and Zhang Shou Yong, and he wasn't afraid that Zhang Shou Yong would go back on his word.
"Here!"
With a raise of his hand, the Ageless Root in Zhang Shou Yuan's hand flew out and flashed directly towards Zhang Shou Yong.
He didn't have the slightest reluctance.
Because up until now, he hadn't discerned anything different about the Ageless Root.
