Suddenly she spoke, even though all around was only grass and rice with no one in sight:

– Old man! Why do you keep following me?

From above, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly swooped down, still running in the air, he sighed and replied:

– Princess… This is the territory of the South…

So what?

The old man replied:

– You intruded and moved around like this without permission, it’s really dangerous…

– What danger? Who can stop me!

The old man smiled bitterly:

– My princess… The scary thing is that no one can stop you, so I have to follow and stop you…

– Shut up! I’ll beat you up now!

– Oh! Well, I won’t say anymore. But can you tell me where you’re going and why you insist on going?

The girl frowned and thought:

– I don’t know! It’s like someone is calling me…

At this time, at the Chau family’s house, Chau Giam was talking about the mine being occupied.

– But that’s not as important as the mine being taken, and who did it…

– It’s the Pham family…

An old sound made the four people startled and looked towards the door. The door had opened without anyone knowing.

Dad!

– Grandfather!

Chau Doc and Chau Giam both said in surprise, the person who just appeared was Chau Thai, Chau Giam’s father, Chau Doc’s grandfather.

The old man walked in, dragging a statue-like man into the room.

Chau Giam asked in surprise:

– What’s wrong with Giang, dad?

Old Chau Thai replied:

– Just wanted to go out for some fresh air, saw this guy sneaking around so I followed him, thanks to that I discovered he was a spy from the Pham family.

Chau Giam growled angrily:

– So it’s you! Did I treat you badly?

Old Chau Thai waved his hand:

– Let’s put that aside for now, the problem is how to solve the mine incident!

Chau Doc banged the table:

– I suggest sending troops to fight them!

Old Chau Thai said:

– If it was just the Pham family, I wouldn’t be afraid! But after questioning the person who collected their information, I heard that Tu Cung’s people were also involved!

Hearing the name Tu Cung, the three people Chau Giam, Chau Doc and Son shuddered. Tu Cung, the most powerful force in the Southwest and led by a Lord, only needed a wave of his hand to put the Chau family in danger. Even if they were lucky enough to be protected by Saigon, they would still suffer a great loss.

Duong also turned pale. He knew about the Pham family, a competitor who had many grudges against the Chau family because he had met three people from this family during a camping night with Diem My. However, he did not expect to encounter an old enemy, Tu Cung. With the hostile attitude of the Lord of Hai Ha, Duong knew for sure that if he met this guy, his life would be over.

Son asked:

– But… why was the Pham family able to invite Tu Cung to join?

Old Chau Thai replied:

– What else to think? Of course it’s because they’re interested in that relic!

Chau Giam took a deep breath to calm down and asked:

– Chau Doc, when did they attack the mine, how many people were there?

Chau Doc replied:

– Yes, early in the morning, not long after my father and uncle Son left, they rushed in. At first, there were 5 of them, one of them was very strong, but after killing our Linh Vuong, he went straight into the mine without paying any attention to the battle, so I had a chance to escape…

Chau Giam nodded:

– They chose to lie in wait and avoid clashing with Son and me. It seems that Tu Cung did not provide much support…

– As for that strong man, I think it is Pham Nhan, but if it was his younger brother Pham Phap, Chau Doc would have died long ago!

While Chau Giam was speaking, Duong also started to search for information on Google. Pham Nhan was the Dai Vuong that Duong met last night, and Pham Phap was Pham Nhan’s younger brother, a level 2 Linh Vuong. The reason for such a big difference in level was because the two brothers were nearly 20 years apart in age, and there was a shocking secret that Pham Phap was actually the result of an incestuous relationship between Pham Nhan and his biological mother.

While Duong was searching for information, old man Chau Thai said:

– I can deal with Pham Nhan, but his father, Pham Thuong, is a tough one. Although he and I are both level 1 Linh De, I am old and my body has deteriorated a lot, I am absolutely not his match…

While speaking, old man Chau Thai looked at Duong and asked:

– Who is this kid?

Chau Doc replied:

– Yes, he is my friend, Vo Phi Duong, whom I often told you about!

The old man opened his eyes wide:

– Vo Phi Duong? Black Dragon?

– Sit there! Sit still!

Duong was about to stand up and greet properly, but old man Chau Thai stopped him and waved his hand. An invisible pressure kept Duong sitting still, unable to move. This was a high-level ability of the Huu Y realm. Not only could it control matter, it could also control the bodies of people of many lower levels. Duong had experienced this with Sung Hao when facing Dong Phuong Kim Long at Tu Linh Hoi Tu.

Controlling Duong, old Chau Thai tilted his head to look at him then approached, bent down and leaned his head close to Duong’s head, one hand he rubbed his chin to look cool and the other hand took out a photo treasure and held it out in front of him, adjusted it and took a dozen photos in a row, then he released the control for Duong and looked at the photos while smiling.

Seeing Duong’s dumbfounded face, Chau Doc held back his laughter and explained:

– My grandfather really admires you…

Duong looked at the old man, just a moment ago he was still cool, now he was as excited as a crazy kpop fan girl, his throat was filled with intense nausea.

Being looked at with strange eyes, old Chau Thai after a while of getting angry cleared his throat to regain his composure, looked at Duong and asked:

– Boy, it is an honor for you to visit my house today…

Duong replied:

– Actually… besides visiting, I also want to cooperate…

– What cooperation?

– I can help you defeat the Pham family, but in return, I need two things, first is a type of ore from your mine, second, I want to enter the relics in the mine…

Old Chau Thai thought and said:

– An ore and relic… It might be a bit greedy, but if you can help us get revenge, it’s worth it. But how can you help?

Duong replied:

– You lost to Pham Thuong because of old age, so what if I lend you a Holy Treasure?

Hearing this, the entire Zhou family stared at Yang, thinking he was joking. What was a Saint Treasure? This kind of Saint-level Treasure was almost impossible to buy with normal cash, and could only be obtained through methods such as bartering, hunting from ruins, or snatching it from others. The more important issue is that the ability to create a Sacred Treasure is extremely low, every time a Sacred Treasure is born, even if it is only a low-grade one, it is enough to create fierce competition, you have something to exchange, others have something even more valuable, you find a relic, as long as it is exposed, a bunch of forces will be eyeing your relic, you snatch it from someone else, someone stronger will snatch it from you, so unless you have enough backing to be able to take the Sacred Treasure out to fight without having to stay up every night to secretly guard, otherwise it is best not to brag that you have hot goods, and it is because of this fear that many people only dare to dream but do not dare to own a Sacred Treasure even when they have the chance…

Yet this brat “lent” it out so easily as if it was just a lighter that he would light and then return. Granted, he was generous, but if he lost it, even if he sold the entire Chau family, he still wouldn’t be able to compensate him…

Seeing the Chau family’s worries, Duong took out the Thunder Fire Holy Lotus flower, placed it on the table and said:

Here! Feel free to use it!

– This is… – The four Chau family members stared at the strange red-black lotus bud.

Duong replied:

– Thunder Fire Holy Lotus, a mid-level Holy Treasure, has the ability to convert thunder and fire spiritual energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy causes the petals to rotate in different orbits. Thanks to the special rotational force of the petals, it creates an extremely strong suction force that can absorb both physical attacks and spiritual attacks.

From Chau Doc to Chau Thai, all four people opened their mouths to look at the little flower bud. They thought that Duong would be surprised by bringing out a low-grade Sacred Treasure, but it turned out that he brought out a mid-grade Sacred Treasure, something they would never have dared to dream of. Moreover, it was a type of Sacred Treasure with unusual abilities they had never heard of before…

Duong pretended to remember something, patted his forehead and said:

– Oh, I forgot, this thing needs the spiritual power of both Lightning and Fire to be used…

Old Chau Thai quickly said:

– I have Thunder and Fire spiritual power!

– Oh really… Thank goodness! – Duong breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he knew the old man had these two types of spiritual power, so he brought out the Thunder Fire Holy Lotus, but he had to pretend not to know so as not to waste time explaining why he knew.

It wasn’t that Duong was being too generous, but he was supporting Chau Thai so that he could quickly clean up the Phan family’s house, clearing the way for him to enter the ruins as soon as possible. Of course, he had already taken into account that if Hai Ha showed signs of leaving Tu Cung to move to the mine, Duong would immediately abandon everything and run for his life…

Seeing a mid-level Sacred Treasure right next to him for the first time, even the old Spirit Emperor Zhou Tai couldn’t help but feel excited, just like a child being given the toy he had always wanted.

– What do you think? Let me show you how to use it? – Duong coaxed.

Chau Thai was infatuated, but Chau Giam was still a bit sober:

– It seems like we can get rid of the Pham family, but what about Tu Cung?

Duong replied:

– Isn’t it all for the benefit? They agreed to cooperate with the Pham family, so why can’t we cooperate with them?

Son replied:

– But if they do not cooperate, they will oppress us…

Chau Doc replied:

– Aren’t we being oppressed by the Pham family right now? Will we be safe if we just bow our heads and let them oppress us?

– That’s not what I meant! But…

Old Chau Thai interrupted:

– Fight! Destroy the Pham family and die, it’s better than living in humiliation under their feet!

Son also stood up:

– I agree! But on one condition, Chau Doc and his wife and children must be taken to a safe place!

Hearing this, Chau Doc looked at Son with a completely different gaze. He always thought that Son was impersonating his grandfather’s illegitimate son to take advantage of the Chau family, so he never considered Son as his uncle. In Chau Doc’s eyes, Son was always a difficult and selfish man, but now that he thought about it, everything he did was indeed for the Chau family. And most of all, at this time of crisis, the person he cared about the most was the nephew who had never acknowledged him.

See, a villain is not necessarily a hateful person, and a hateful person is not necessarily a villain, it just depends on the perspective of the viewer….

Chau Doc became confused when he realized his uncle’s love for him, his lips moved but he couldn’t form words:

– Uncle… I… I want to fight too…

Swish!

Having finished speaking, Chau Doc fainted after being struck in the head by a black lightning bolt…

Duong said:

– Okay, tie him up and take him away, save time!
