Chapter 979

An Liuchen gazed at Su Sha's retreating back, complex ripples in her eyes.

"With such a junior cultivator in the human race, perhaps this battle is not as desperate as I thought."

She murmured.

The Zhang family actually... found them!

At this moment, outside the Shushan Sword Sect, within the Thousand Grave Sword Mound.

A youth in green robes stood beside the ruins of a great formation.

His gaze was deep, staring intently at the formation on the ground, lost in thought.

His expression was somber, as if he possessed endless schemes.

Most terrifying was the indifference in his eyes.

That kind of indifference was the indifference that, apart from his family, all other life was meaningless.

This person was none other than the strongest prodigy of the Zhang family's younger generation, the ten-star talent Zhang Guliu!

Ever since he was miserably defeated by the Branch Swordsman in the Newcomer Combat Tournament, he understood that there is always someone better, and a heaven beyond heaven.

Thus, he began to grow stronger like a madman, no longer resisting all kinds of heavenly treasures, using them all.

Now, he had also ascended to level 70, the Half-Saint realm.

Behind him followed several Zhang family experts!

Level 69 peak Sovereign, Yin-Yang Fist Sovereign Zhang Xiangsheng.

Level 68 Vajra Finger Sovereign, Zhang Yunxiao.

Level 67 Wise Formation Female Sovereign, Zhang Fengya.

These three stood behind him, their gazes cold and sharp.

Zhang Xiangsheng originally only had fifth-turn cultivation, but after he fought Lei Chen back then, he recognized him!

At that time, Zhang Xiangsheng personally took action to attack the Jiang family's orphaned daughter, Jiang Yunqing.

But suddenly, a fifth-turn Lightning Dao expert appeared to protect Jiang Yunqing.

Zhang Xiangsheng later reflected on the many details of the battle, successfully saw through the fake-surrendering old butler, reported it to the family, and performed a great service.

Subsequently, he received countless rewards and successfully ascended to the Sovereign realm.

Zhang Xiangsheng's strength surpassed those who came before, successively overtaking Zhang Yunxiao and Zhang Fengya, these two Sovereigns.

As for Zhang Yunxiao and Zhang Fengya, they had failed to capture the God of Slaughter back then, letting him escape, which resulted in him not being caught to this day—a grave mistake.

Therefore, during this period, they had not received any resource cultivation from the Zhang family, and their realms had stagnated.

A little treasure shaken from the Zhang family's sleeve could allow an old man whose realm had been stagnant for years to surpass two young Sovereigns.

This is why so many experts were willing to serve the Zhang family, flocking to it.

Using secret treasures to raise one's realm was much faster than grinding monsters.

Zhang Guliu brought these three not because of their combat power.

But because they had all fought the God of Slaughter and could increase the probability of identifying him.

No matter how refined your concealment methods are, your skills and moves cannot change.

With these three present, he would surely be able to find the God of Slaughter.

He came to this dungeon with the goal of finding the God of Slaughter and completely exterminating him!

That person bearing the title of God of Slaughter had first protected the orphaned daughter of the Jiang Consortium, preventing the Zhang family's plan to wipe out the family.

Later, he even killed the Young Master Zhang Tang!

Subsequently, the God of Slaughter incited a veteran fifth-turn Zhang family servant, Meng Qingtian, to betray them. ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
