Chapter 34 Return of property to its original owner
‘Temporary residence???’
Zhang Ke heard such a word very keenly.
The meanings of these two words are somewhat intriguing.
Thinking about the current situation of the 'Four Seas Sect', it seems that they are using their own sect as a shield.
Zhang Ke calmly said "Oh" but didn't say a word.
Zhenjun Jiangyun on the side felt amused that Zhenjun Dinghai had actually plotted against Zhang Ke.
Do you really think this man is just a foolhardy fool?
Zhenjun Dinghai feels a little uncomfortable. I thank you so sincerely. No matter what you say, you can continue talking.
But you just said "oh", that's how I should interface.
"Ahem—!"
Zhenjun Dinghai coughed twice and could only continue to speak.
"Alas! Our sect suffered a catastrophic disaster. Our disciples suffered heavy casualties, and countless resources accumulated in the sect were robbed by True Lord Blood Mist.
Now that the weather is getting colder, countless people who have been affected by the disaster are living in dire straits, waiting for resources to rescue them.
Although we have tried our best to help, it is only a drop in the bucket.
so......"
He slowed down his tone and looked at Zhang Ke with a very low attitude, hoping that Zhang Ke could express his words.
Zhang Ke said "Oh" nonchalantly again, then picked up the tea cup on the table and said to Shan Qianhui:
"Drink tea!"
"Pfft——!"
When Wei Meizi saw this scene, she couldn't help covering her mouth and burst out laughing.
Shan Qianhui and Zhenjun Jiangyun were also full of smiles, and they cooperatively picked up the teacups and took a sip of tea.
Zhenjun Dinghai's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Zhang Ke to be so slippery and unrestrained.
He had already set up the steps, but he jumped out of the window.
At the same time, he also understood that Zhang Ke had seen through his little thoughts, so he simply spoke out.
"Fellow Taoist Ruyi, I have something unclear and I would like to ask for advice."
"speak!"
Zhang Ke didn't want to say another word.
A flash of anger flashed in Zhenjun Dinghai's eyes, and then he threw it away.
"I heard that the 'Ghost Thieves' were destroyed by fellow Taoists more than thirty years ago. I don't know if this is true."
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"If you are referring to that time in Qinghai Bay, yes, it was indeed done by Pindao. What do you mean?"
True Lord Dinghai said with grief and anger:
"But it's because of you that True Lord Blood Mist seeks revenge on our sect, causing our sect to suffer heavy casualties. You can't escape this fact."
Zhang Ke looked at Zhenjun Dinghai in surprise, his eyes rolled out.
This...this is such a strange brain circuit, the first time I have seen it in my life.
"so what?"
Zhenjun Dinghai said loudly:
"So fellow Taoists should give us some compensation. We don't ask for much, just two million gold talismans.
After all, no matter what, fellow Taoist has finally avenged our sect, so it’s not worth asking for more."
Not to mention Zhang Ke, even Shan Qianhui and others on the side were shocked.
How did such a person reach the realm of Yuanshen? Could it be that after the sect was broken, the intense stimulation burned out his brain?
But everyone was speechless when they saw the expressions on the faces of the two Jin Dan behind them that they had taken advantage of them.
A long-lost word came into Zhang Ke's mind.
He murmured to himself: "Is this considered a ploy?"
After looking at Zhenjun Dinghai up and down for a while, his serious face did not look like he was joking.
Zhang Ke couldn't help but said:
"Why would True Lord Blood Mist seek revenge on your sect?"
Zhenjun Dinghai said righteously:
"Because you, Taoist Ruyi, killed a large number of ghost thieves, True Lord Blood Mist will seek revenge on our sect."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ke and others all looked at Zhenjun Dinghai blankly.
Godlike logic.
Zhang Ke read this sentence over and over again in his mind, but couldn't find the slightest connection.
Suddenly, Zhang Ke realized that Zhenjun Dinghai was here to deliberately cause trouble.
It would be impossible for a normal person to say such words, let alone a True Lord in the Yuanshen Realm.
Whatever his purpose, Zhang Ke decided to take the initiative.
"Thirty years ago, various sects in Laizhou agreed that no sect would go to sea within a few years. Is this true?"
"...It seems to have!"
"Very good. Just a few months after this agreement, your faction insisted on going its own way and sailed a mountain ship to transport on the sea. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"...have it!"
"At that time, your faction encountered ghost thieves in Qinghai Bay. There were two ghost ships, three Yuanshen Lords, and hundreds of Jindan Lords, right?"
"...Probably!"
"Due to the disparity in strength, your faction was defeated by the ghost pirates. One of the mountain ships was even about to be sunk. Do you remember?"
"Uh~~I can't remember clearly."
"Then, how did your sect escape from this critical moment?"
Zhenjun Dinghai’s face was also a little tense, and he explained with strong words:
"I fought to the death and used secret techniques to defeat the three ghost thieves and the three true soul masters, and I survived. The ghost ship is the evidence."
"Oh~~~!"
Zhang Ke and others finally understood why Zhenjun Dinghai would deliberately mess around here.
It turned out that I came here for the ghost ship.
Originally, Zhang Ke didn't take the ghost ship seriously. He didn't care about it thirty years ago, let alone now.
But today Zhenjun Dinghai confused right and wrong and deliberately caused trouble, so you can't blame yourself.
At this moment, he even guessed why Zhenjun Dinghai spoke like this.
If an ordinary person hears Zhenjun Dinghai's words, he will definitely take the opportunity to ask a question.
'Since it is the ghost thief that your faction has repelled, then this matter has nothing to do with me. Isn't it reasonable for True Lord Blood Mist to seek revenge on you?'
But as long as Zhang Ke said this, he would have fallen into Zhenjun Dinghai's scheme.
He will definitely push the situation forward and make this matter a reality so that he can take possession of the ghost ship as his own.
In full view of the public, it is difficult to take back what you say.
Zhang Ke was angry at Zhenjun Dinghai's behavior and decided to give him some color.
Shan Qianhui was a little angry and said loudly:
"Fellow Taoist Dinghai, what happened back then..."
Zhang Ke waved his hand, intercepted what Shan Qianhui was about to say, and said with a smile:
"By the way, fellow Daoist Dinghai, didn't you say that because of poor Taoism, True Lord Blood Mist took revenge on your sect? What's the reason for this?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhenjun Dinghai’s heart moved, and he realized that something about him, Xiao Jiujiu, had been seen by Zhang Ke.
The expression on his face changed accordingly, and he said with a smile:
"Ouch! Fellow Taoist saw through it. Hehe, just a joke, just a joke. Just pretend that I didn't say anything before."
Zhang Ke smiled lightly.
"I didn't expect that my fellow Taoist sect would still have the heart to joke around after so many people were killed and injured."
Zhenjun Dinghai's smile faltered, and he forced a smile and said:
"Life goes on, doesn't it?"
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"That makes sense. Oh, by the way, when will fellow Taoists plan to return the trophy ship that I took after I defeated the Ghost Thieves?"
At this moment, Zhenjun Dinghai's expression really changed.
"Because of fellow Taoists, our sect suffered numerous casualties, and you still think about that ship?"
He came here today actually for another ghost ship in Zhang Ke's hands.
The purpose of deliberately messing around before was the same, but when I saw that Zhang Ke didn't seem to be easy to deceive, I changed my mind.
After getting the ghost ship thirty years ago, he didn't know who took action to destroy the ghost ship.
At the beginning, he was also worried. Once someone came to ask for it, he would take the initiative to return it.
But then the incident passed like this, and no one cared about it anymore.
When he found out that the person who took action was the Yuanshen Lord of Dingzhou, Lord Dinghai had other thoughts.
That's why they deliberately spread the news about the ghost ship, so that this treasure ship, which is far superior to the mountain ship, can be ignored.
Unexpectedly, this rumor attracted True Lord Blood Mist, and in a massacre, the sect was almost destroyed.
This is something that the Sihai Sect never expected.
Today, Zhenjun Dinghai was also patrolling the waters of the South China Sea. He sensed a sudden change in the world and hurried over.
I was shocked when I saw the tide of vitality that covered the sky and the sun. This was not something that could be caused by the death of the ordinary Yuanshen True Monarch.
After some inquiring, I found out that this was actually caused by True Lord Blood Mist being beheaded by True Lord Ruyi.
Zhenjun Dinghai was greatly relieved. He never expected that the blood feud between his master and his sect would be avenged so quickly.
I was full of gratitude to True Lord Ruyi, but after I found out about True Lord Ruyi’s background, I couldn’t help but have new thoughts.
He has never had any contact with Zhang Ke. The only thing he knows about Zhang Ke is that he has extremely strong fighting ability.
Both the battle decades ago and the killing of True Lord Blood Mist have confirmed this.
But decades ago, Zhang Ke did not ask the "Four Seas Sect" for the ghost ship, which made Zhenjun Dinghai think that he was a good-looking, arrogant and arrogant person who was not short of money.
Then he thought about tricking the other ghost ship in Zhang Ke's hands.
This is how today's scene resembled a farce.
At this time, when I heard that Zhang Ke asked for the ghost ship, he naturally refused to return it.
Zhang Ke sneered "hehe".
“I never expected that the dignified ‘Sihai Sect’ would treat its savior like this.
If I hadn't taken action thirty years ago, none of the two mountain ships, hundreds of golden elixirs, and hundreds of innates of the 'Sihai Sect' would have survived.
Even the grass on the grave of Taoist friend Dinghai is probably three feet high now.
True Lord Blood Mist massacred your mountain sect, killing and injuring nearly a thousand disciples and hundreds of thousands of civilians. Is it considered a blood feud?
It was I who killed the True Lord of Blood Mist and avenged your sect.
It stands to reason that I am very grateful to your sect.
Not only did the Valuable Sect not say thank you, they actually took away my loot. Not only that, they even asked me to pay compensation.
I have to say that in my more than two hundred years of life, this is the first time I have seen such a shameless person."
Lord Jiangyun on the side said calmly:
"Not to mention fellow Taoist, this is the first time we have seen such shameless people."
Zhenjun Dinghai was so angry that he simply broke the jar and said:
"Fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. The first thing I did when I entered the door just now was to thank fellow Taoist.
Secondly, everyone in Laizhou knows that the ghost ship belongs to my ‘Sihai Sect’ and has nothing to do with fellow Taoists.”
"Today is really an eye-opener. It turns out that the hundreds of thousands of lives of your sect are only worth such a light word of thanks."
Zhang Ke first made a joke, and then said solemnly:
"No one dares to snatch my things yet. If you don't give it to me, it doesn't matter. I'll just go get it myself.
I heard that there are still some fish that have slipped through the net in the Yin Ming Sect. If fellow Taoists are slaughtered in the future, don’t say that I didn’t warn them in advance.”
Zhenjun Dinghai’s face changed drastically and he said loudly:
"What? Is Fellow Taoist Ruyi threatening me with this statement?
Based on what fellow Taoist said today, if I have any shortcomings in the future, you will not be able to get rid of me."
Shan Qianhui secretly complained about how Zhang Ke could say such things publicly. Wouldn't it be an excuse for others?
He was about to open his mouth to round out the sentence.
Just listen to Zhang Ke continue:
"You are right, I am just threatening you. You'd better not step out of the mountain in the future, otherwise Blood Mist Lord will be your fate."
Hearing Zhang Ke speak like this, everyone present was shocked.
True Lord Dinghai suddenly stood up and said sternly:
"You dare to attack me?"
Zhang Ke smiled calmly.
"The world of cultivation is all about strength. Since I can kill True Lord Blood Mist, it won't be too difficult to kill you.
As long as Daojun doesn't take action, do you think anyone will stand up for you even if I kill you?
What's more..."
Zhenjun Dinghai felt a chill in his heart. He never thought that Zhang Ke would say such words on such an occasion.
If you really want to have something to do with yourself, wouldn't Zhang Ke be the most suspect person?
But Zhang Ke's words also fully demonstrate that this person has no scruples in his actions. If he dares to say something, he must dare to do it.
"...What's more, the 'Sihai Sect' and the 'Yin Ming Sect' have a big feud. Even if you were killed, who would dare to say that it was me."
Zhenjun Dinghai's heart was trembling slightly, this was intimidation, this was threatening, but...
He was really scared and reluctantly said:
"I admit that I am not your opponent, but your disciples should be careful when they go out."
Zhang Ke said lightly ‘hmm’.
"Well! You gave me another reason to kill you."
The plain words revealed endless killing intent.
Zhenjun Dinghai's heart trembled and he hurriedly said:
"I didn't mean that, I was just joking, hahaha~~!"
After a few quick turns in his mind, he said resolutely:
"Since that ghost ship belongs to fellow Taoist, it should be returned to fellow Taoist. I will take care of this matter when I get back."
The turning point in Zhenjun Dinghai’s words made everyone present look askance.
A smile escaped Zhang Ke's lips.
"Look, haven't the dark clouds in the sky dispersed?
I am always fair in doing things. The Sihai Sect has been taking care of this ship for our sect for the past thirty years, so I think it has taken a lot of trouble.
As a token of my gratitude, I will take one hundred thousand gold talismans and give them to the Four Seas Sect, which will be considered as the cost of care."
Zhang Ke casually took out one hundred thousand gold talismans and placed them on the desk.
Zhenjun Dinghai felt bitter in his mouth, but he did not dare to refuse.
Over the years, no less than a million resources have been invested in this ghost ship, but today it was made into a wedding dress for others.
Zhang Ke's 100,000 gold talismans were not handed over to him, but were placed on the table. This was clearly telling him to take the initiative to get them.
Once he reached out, he clearly identified the ghost ship and proved that he was not forced to do so.
It's just a simple action, but there are so many things related to it.
Thinking of some of his initial guesses about Zhang Ke, Zhenjun Dinghai smiled bitterly to himself.
After making trouble for a long time, I am the clown.
When Zhenjun Dinghai put away the money, Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"From today on, our Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect and Sihai Sect have no connection at all. There is no grudge or selfish enmity.
Come, sit down and drink!"
Zhenjun Dinghai smiled bitterly, sat down, and sighed:
"Oh! I'm convinced!"
Zhang Ke's words were a way to distance himself. Since the two sides no longer have any grudges, if something happens to Zhenjun Dinghai in the future, it will have nothing to do with Zhang Ke.
If we say that Zhang Ke gave the impression to Zhenjun Jiangyun and others in the past that he was a man with vast magical powers and powerful strength.
So today, they saw another side of Zhang Ke.
Wise, calm and domineering!
When such a person comes to the South China Sea, I don't know what kind of changes he will bring here.
