Chapter 2220 - 2213: If People Don’t Offend Me, I Won’t Offend Them

"Hey, are you guys brain-dead? I’m kindly bringing you something, and this is how you treat me?" Zhang Menglong shouted to the people outside.

"Mr. Zhang, we sincerely apologize for inviting you back to our family in this manner, but currently, we have almost zero information. Everything that happened within the Holy Soul Alliance is solely your account, and we can’t verify its authenticity. Who knows, maybe you did something to kill everyone for some undisclosed purpose?"

"Damn, are you maliciously speculating about me?" Zhang Menglong was indignant.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang. We’re not maliciously speculating; it’s a reasonable deduction. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"

Zhang Menglong was taken aback; he truly had nothing to prove his innocence. Everything that happened there didn’t leave any evidence behind because under that overwhelming Soul Power, all electronic devices basically lost functionality.

"See, you have no evidence either," Teng Ao said. "So we can only temporarily invite you to be a guest of the Moyan Family. Rest assured, we will treat you with respect, and if the investigation indeed proves you’re not involved, we will personally apologize."

"Treat with respect, is this your way of treating someone with respect?" Zhang Menglong sneered.

"We’re sorry, Mr. Zhang. It’s difficult for us to assess your threat level at this moment. If you indeed massacred so many Realm Breakers, it’s likely even these defense measures wouldn’t limit you. We must implement some defense measures; please understand!"

After saying this, Teng Ao and the others left the room, leaving Zhang Menglong alone, cursing.

Seeing everyone leave, Zhang Menglong found cursing pointless, so he took out a camping table and chair and started brewing milk tea. After all, true strength lies in never complaining about the environment.

"This kid is really calm!" Teng Ao and the others monitored Zhang Menglong through surveillance, watching his every move, while also opening the family’s communication channel. The family members couldn’t wait to know the current situation.

In the virtual network, over ten senior members of the Moyan Family sat in a room, with Teng Ao alone opposite them, while the scene of Zhang Menglong’s room was projected in the middle.

"Is this the guy who sells ancient swords? I thought he was some old monster, but he’s just a young man, merely a First Grade Transcender, pathetically weak."

"Even though this kid is weak, he carries an unusual aura."

"Indeed, others as prisoners would have already panicked, yet he has the leisure to drink tea. This isn’t something ordinary people can do."

"Elders, isn’t this a bit excessive for our actions?" Teng Ao seemed somewhat unsure about their own behavior.

"Teng Ao, since when did you become so hesitant?" A Moyan Family Elder said displeasedly, "We’ve investigated all the powers that went to the Holy Soul Alliance this time. Until now, they’ve sent people with no news. All of their Soul Steles cracked a month ago!"

The Soul Stele is a special treasure for these families to monitor important figures’ conditions at any time. If a person is alive and well, the stele remains intact; if they die, the stele cracks.

Not only those families and academies, but even the Soul Steles of the Moyan Family batch also shattered over a month ago, almost all instantaneously.

"That underground space is likely a legacy or something similar left by an ancient powerhouse. So many Realm Breakers died, and just a First Grade Transcender survived—is this merely luck and coincidence?"

"Precisely, we even suspect he discovered the place first and deceitfully led many to explore, while having some understanding of the legacy and used them as shields. Otherwise, why would he be the sole survivor?"

Even Teng Ao found this explanation reasonable. From any perspective, those powerhouses aren’t within reach for someone like Zhang Menglong. If the place was truly perilous, the first to die should have been him!

Hence, unimaginable events must have transpired in the underground space of the Holy Soul Alliance.

"Moreover, if such a place indeed contains an ancient legacy or treasure, it’s likely already with him. Such things are claimed by the capable; why should it fall to a kid?"

"Elders, you..." Teng Ao realized their goal wasn’t just confirming if Zhang Menglong was involved in their Moyan Family members’ deaths; their real target was the legacy or treasure he possessed!

"But the ancestor’s corpse is likely with him!" Teng Ao said, "If we push him too far, nobody knows what extreme actions he might take, and if any harm comes to the ancestor’s corpse..."

"Rest assured, based on our data, this ancestor’s strength likely reached the Dominator level. Even if only a corpse remains now, Zhang Menglong is incapable of damaging it."

"If possible, we must keep everything within our Moyan Family."

...

Zhang Menglong, of course, didn’t know some were loudly conspiring, instead pleasantly brewing milk tea.

To him, after surviving the Soul crisis in the Blood Pond space, virtually nothing truly scares him anymore. This obvious danger is nothing to fear.

"Gou Dan, what is this thing?" Zhang Menglong became interested in the object that trapped him.

[Dean, this is a powerful Electromagnetic Field, a high-tech product used to imprison and seal certain destructive creatures. Without strength above Realm Breaker, destroying it forcibly is challenging!]

"Damn it!" Zhang Menglong, with good intentions delivering something for Qian Xu, was treated like this by his people, filling him with resentment, though more was pity for Qian Xu and his sacrifices for these idiots.

[Dean, heading to the Moyan Family this time is like entering a dragon’s lair; these people lack the decency of Qian Xu.]

"Hmm!" Zhang Menglong nodded. "Though I won’t provoke if left alone, if they do something harmful to me, I’ll ensure the Moyan Family understands I’m very angry, and the consequences are severe!"
