A violent coughing sound came from inside the pit.
Zhang Xiong's face was pressed against the ground, his nose was visibly sunken, and blood and mud were still oozing from his mouth.
He looked utterly disheveled, completely lacking the composure of Ninth Rank master.
"Gulp!"
Jin Kai swallowed hard, secretly relieved that the Crazy Old Man had only stomped on his face, instead of doing what he did to Zhang Xiong.
If that were the case, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have bone fragments left, or rather, ashes.
Jin Changfeng's complexion was no better than Jin Kai's, and in fact, it was even worse.
Because compared to his grandson, he knew much more about the Crazy Old Man's temper and deeds back then!
Therefore, he was now perfectly clear that the Crazy Old Man was truly enraged.
This isn't some minor skirmish; it's the kind that could kill!
Thinking of this, he swallowed hard, and his legs suddenly went weak uncontrollably.
Nevertheless, for the sake of his grandson, he had to grit his teeth and go.
"Li, Master Li, I--"
He had barely opened his mouth when the Crazy Old Man interrupted him with a shout.
"Shut the hell up!"
As soon as the Crazy Old Man spoke, an invisible Psychic Power burst forth, pressing down on Jin Changfeng so much that he could barely breathe.
This chilling sense of oppression once again filled Jin Changfeng with dread, making him think to himself: Could it be that Master Li has truly recovered?!
The Crazy Old Man raised his foot and stomped it several times in a row, making a "DuangDuangDuang" sound, until half of Jin Kai 'Jin Kai face was buried in the ground.
It was obvious that the Crazy Old Man had held back; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just half his face being sunk into the ground.
"You little bastard, tell me yourself, what the hell have you done?!"
Jin Kai was spitting out blood, his mind was buzzing, but now was not the time to worry about that.
His intuition told him that if he answered the Crazy Old Man's question even a second later, he might be heading to the underworld.
"I... I deserve to die! I shouldn't have made friends with the Church of Justice!"
What?!
Jin Changfeng was stunned. He really didn't expect his grandson to do something so contrary to righteousness.
If the Divine Wind Camp finds out about this, even he will have a hard time protecting them!
Thinking of this, Jin Changfeng wished he could also go up and kick Jin Kai a couple of times.
"You bastard! That's the Church of Justice! A parasite on our Great Xia! Everyone has the right to kill them! How dare you do such a thing behind my back! I'll beat you to death today!"
Having said that, Jin Changfeng was about to make a move.
"You stay right there and don't move!"
The Crazy Old Man's words made Jin Changfeng stop in his tracks.
"Don't think I don't know you want to save him. Let me tell you, nobody's saving him today!"
That's serious!
Jin Changfeng's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he quickly pleaded for mercy.
" Master Li, I know I shouldn't plead for him, after all, he did such a thing, but at least he only had this idea, and hasn't actually cooperated with the Church of Justice yet, so he's not entirely a traitor. Do you think we could show him some leniency?"
You think you can just eat shit?!
The Crazy Old Man spat saliva all over Jin Changfeng's face as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Do I care because of his collaboration with the Church of Justice? I don't care who he collaborates with!"
What?
Isn't it because of this?
Jin Changfeng and Jin Kai were both taken aback.
Before they could even ask, the Crazy Old Man spat and roared again:
"That bastard actually tried to harm my precious disciple! He's the only one I've ever taken in who I like and who pleases me! I haven't even had a chance to properly cherish him, and he dares to plot against him, wanting his life and the lives of his whole family. Do you think I'll let him go? Heh, or do you think I'm too soft-hearted, or that I'm too weak to even lift a knife?"
What!
My precious apprentice!
What kind of Spirit Master Li embody in his relationship with his disciples?
Is this a super-strong player prepared for Jin Kai?
They're too busy trying to curry favor to even consider moving.
etc!!!
Upon realizing this, both Jin Changfeng and Jin Kai were suddenly struck by a terrifying thought. Immediately, a tidal wave surged within them, crashing against the shore with a deafening roar, making their brains feel as if they were about to explode.
Jin Changfeng, having weathered many storms, recovered his composure faster than the hotheaded Jin Kai.
His lips trembled as he stared at the Crazy Old Man.
"You, you... you are... you mean... Jiang, Jiang Fan?"
"Nonsense! Who else could it be but him?!" the Crazy Old Man roared rudely. "Not only your grandson, but you too! I heard everything clearly outside the door. You wanted to kill my precious disciple too, didn't you? Don't worry, after I teach your grandson a lesson, I'll teach you one! Neither of you will escape!"
Admitted?
The Crazy Old Man actually admitted it!
In other words, Jiang Fan really is the Crazy Old Man's apprentice.
He's Spirit Master!!
And she's a Advanced Psychic!!!
Thinking back on everything that had happened, and realizing that he couldn't kill Jiang Fan no matter what he tried, Jin Changfeng finally understood.
So this was Jiang Fan's real trump card for survival!
Thinking of this, Jin Changfeng gave a bitter smile.
Yes, he should have thought of that earlier.
Given the Crazy Old Man's personality, he would only give a friendly look to his own family, namely the Holy Master of the Church of Justice.
How could Jiang Fan be just a simple cook?
Furthermore, he finally understood why Zhou Lingxing was so protective of Jiang Fan.
Oh, and that Spirit Weapon too.
He had his doubts at the time, but Jin Kai's few words dispelled them.
It's not entirely Jin Kai's fault for misleading people, because he was quite clear that the person in the Zhou Family's cultivation secret realm was Advanced Psychic!
Advanced Psychic!
How could she be only 17 years old!
Even the exceptionally talented Ye Qizhen, a prodigy personally mentored by Yan Tianyang, could hardly compare to him.
No matter how imaginative or far-fetched he is, he would never believe that Jiang Fan is the Crazy Old Man's apprentice!
"This, how is this possible? How could Jiang Fan possibly be your disciple, Master Li? I don't believe it, I refuse to believe it even if you beat me to death!"
Jin Kai broke down.
It was a complete breakdown.
Compared to Jin Changfeng's frustration and regret, Jin Kai was utterly unable to accept it.
Because the powerful figure he had always wanted to curry favor with, the one he practically groveled before, turned out to be his most hated enemy, the one he wished he could skin him alive.
The feud between them was so deep that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was irreconcilable.
Just as he was thinking this, the Crazy Old Man stomped hard on his face again.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. When my precious disciple returns, I'll hand you over to him, and he'll execute you personally!"
Jin Changfeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something to plead for mercy, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
It wasn't that he didn't love his grandson, nor that he didn't want to take care of him anymore; it was just that he knew the Crazy Old Man's temper.
