#21 - Chapter 21: Killing the Wang Family Ancestor

【After accepting your sword, Wu Bai agrees to lie in ambush with you at the city gate in four days.】

【Hearing this, you feel a little relieved. Wu Bai has finally been persuaded. With Wu Bai's Core Formation stage cultivation, Black Flame won't be able to stop you.】

【After returning to your residence, you quietly wait for the arrival of the fourth day. Then the seventh, eighth, and ninth days all unfold according to the simulations of your previous life.】

【The only difference is that in the early hours of the tenth day, you and Wu Bai conceal your auras and lie in ambush at the city gate, quietly waiting for the arrival of Taoist Black Flame.】

【Meanwhile, in Jianqiu City, the western part of the inner city, inside Taoist Black Flame's residence...】

"Black Flame, is everything prepared?"

"It's prepared."

Inside a residence in the western part of the inner city of Jianqiu City, a middle-aged man in black robes and an old man in gray robes are discussing something with serious expressions.

The middle-aged man in black robes is Taoist Black Flame.

And the old man in gray robes is the Wang family's Foundation Establishment ancestor.

"Tonight's matter concerns the Wang family's grand plan for the next thousand years."

"Today, as long as you and I offer up the city gate, with this achievement and your talent, my Wang family will have at least a thousand years of glory in Blackwater Prefecture!"

"So, when opening the city gate later, you must be prepared," the Wang family ancestor said. His cultivation was at the third level of Foundation Establishment.

In these thirty years, he hasn't made much progress, only advancing one level.

There's no way around it. His body's potential has already been exhausted. Even if he cultivates further, he won't be able to improve.

However, the Wang family ancestor's proudest achievement in these thirty years is the opportunity he obtained in the Golden Sun Secret Realm thirty years ago, which allowed him to nurture Black Flame into a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He is old and can't break through in cultivation, which is nothing as long as Black Flame can break through.

"Ancestor, rest assured, everything has been prepared long ago. In these few days, your grandson has already figured out eighty or ninety percent of the city gate's restrictions," Taoist Black Flame replied. "Tonight, there are only two Foundation Establishment seventh level cultivators guarding the city."

"Although these two are at the same level as your grandson, with my Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and a Dao artifact in hand, I can defeat them within a single move, break the restrictions, and open the city gate."

Taoist Black Flame's answer exuded confidence. Hearing this, the Wang family ancestor nodded.

Now it seems that everything is ready, and all that's lacking is the east wind.

As long as they successfully open the city gate in the early hours of the morning.

His Wang family will be able to enjoy the protection of the Demonic Path by virtue of their merit in surrendering the city.

"However, after you and I successfully surrender the city, the Blackwater Market is likely to fall, and Immortal Ni Chang will probably die."

"In these thirty years, it must be said that Immortal Ni Chang has taken care of the Wang family and you in many ways."

"Moreover, Jianqiu City and Blackwater Market together have ten million people. All of this is because our Wang family is surrendering the city... This sin..." The Wang family ancestor suddenly said in a deep voice, seemingly thinking of something.

Taoist Black Flame directly shook his head: "Ancestor, the more critical the moment, the more you can't be soft-hearted. This is what you taught your grandson."

"In these thirty years, Immortal Ni Chang has been kind to our Wang family, but now the Demonic Path is powerful, and the Righteous Path is about to end. Our Wang family can't perish with the Righteous Path."

"Besides, think about what you have done in these thirty years? What has our Wang family done? In these thirty years, we have been constantly leaking information to the Demonic Path. Countless people in Blackwater Market have died because of the information we leaked."

"If one day, Immortal Ni Chang finds out about this, will she spare you and me?"

"So what if ten million people die? In the future, you and I should hand over all the internal intelligence of the Blackwater Market to the Demonic Path, helping the Demonic Path to conquer the Blackwater Market as soon as possible."

"The sooner Immortal Ni Chang dies, the sooner Blackwater Market perishes, the more at ease you and I will be, and the more at ease the Wang family will be!"

Taoist Black Flame's tone was very calm. But the content of his words was so cold and cruel.

The two cities of Jianqiu City and Blackwater Market together have tens of millions of people.

But in Black Flame's mouth, these tens of millions of lives are better off dead sooner, in exchange for his peace of mind.

"You're right. I was soft-hearted for a moment just now. Compared to the future of the Wang family, ten million lives are indeed nothing," the Wang family ancestor replied in a deep voice.

【Taoist Black Flame and the Wang family ancestor, grandfather and grandson, have already decided to sacrifice the million people of Jianqiu City in exchange for the future glory and wealth of their Wang family.】

【They slowly wait for the arrival of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) at night. Taoist Black Flame chooses to attack the city gate's restrictions at this time because this is when the city gate's restrictions are at their weakest.】

"Ancestor, it's time. We should set off."

"Let's go. The Wang family's wealth and glory today depend on this one move."

"Haha, Ancestor, rest assured, your grandson is 100% confident in opening the city gate today."

"Those two Foundation Establishment seventh level wastes, I can kill them with one move."

【The hour of Chou has arrived. Taoist Black Flame and the Wang family ancestor confidently head towards the city gate...】

"This is impossible! Wu Bai, why are you here?!"

【When they arrive at the city gate, just as they are about to secretly open the city gate to let the Demonic Path in, you and Real Person Wu Bai appear.】

【Seeing the two of you, especially Real Person Wu Bai, Taoist Black Flame looks puzzled and terrified, and the Wang family ancestor also looks frightened.】

【Because this means the exposure of the Wang family's conspiracy. Taoist Black Flame can't understand why his foolproof plan to open the city gate was seen through.】

【But there's no time to think. Taoist Black Flame decides to run away immediately. At this moment, he feels extremely remorseful. The fact that opening the city gate has been discovered means that the plan to surrender the city to the Demonic Path in exchange for merit has completely failed.】

【Taoist Black Flame wants to run, but it's too late. Real Person Wu Bai angrily strikes with his sword. Real Person Wu Bai feels both anger and great relief in his heart at this moment.】

【He is relieved that you told him in advance that Taoist Black Flame was a spy, which is why he was able to prevent the city gate from being breached tonight. Otherwise, he doesn't dare to imagine the consequences if Black Flame had opened the city gate tonight.】

【He is angry that the Blackwater Market has treated Black Flame so well, yet this person is so heartless and ungrateful.】

【On that side, Wu Bai strikes with his sword at Black Flame, who wants to escape.】

【On this side, you also stop the Wang family ancestor, who wants to escape.】

"Wang family ancestor, where do you want to escape to?"

In the deep of the night, a black-haired middle-aged man, his blood and Qi soaring, like a demon god, punches the sky one punch after another, and bursts of dragon roars echo wildly in the sky, targeting the escaping Wang family ancestor!

"No!" The Wang family ancestor exclaims in terror. He sees the sky filled with fist shadows, and he can't describe these fist shadows.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Wang family ancestor, he seems to see himself falling into a mountain full of blood, with blue-scaled, white-bearded true dragons surrounding and killing him with great extinction and great murderous aura.

"Die!" The black-haired middle-aged man punches again, then takes a step to the left, directly arriving in front of the Wang family ancestor with a face full of horror.

His hands are like two large iron hammers, smashing towards the Wang family ancestor's head!

Bang!

Fresh blood rains down, and the black-haired middle-aged man stands in the blood, his feet on a headless corpse that has fallen.

He kills the Wang family ancestor with one punch!

"No! Ancestor!!!"

Taoist Black Flame, who is desperately resisting Wu Bai, sees this scene and his eyes are about to split!
