76.Zhang dies

"Is this the right place ,there is nothing here "

"But I am sure it's here "

"Our treasure is pointing to this place ."

Zhun heard the voice of people outside .At this time he couldn't think much keeping girl as secret .Most important now was to survive .

"Help ,whoever is outside help "

'Now it didn't matter whether people outside had high cultivation of were weaklings '

'whether they could help or not '

All that matters was whether they could make a entrance in cave from outside .

"Brothers there is Sound coming from there .Someone needs help .I will go & help them "A man pointed to a hole in the ground .

"Wait it could be a monster .mimicking as human trying to lure us .Maybe it is sealed here .we shouldn't act recklessly and though it over "

"But if it's really human .And he needs help . Shouldn't we help them as fellow humans "

When Zhun heard these voices.He knew they were just being careful .So he asked again .

"Help I am fighting against a plant monster .This monster killed my sworn brother .And now it wants to harm my daughter erm grand-daughter "Zhun corrected himself .

if he said daughter people outside might not believe him .After all he was several 100s years old .Calling grand-daughter or great grand- daughter was still somewhat beleivable .

"Brothers He really needs our help .I am going"

"Wait make a hole first to check the situation inside .My spirit sense isn't working here "

One of them blasted a hole to widen it .

"Brothers A old man is indeed fighting against a vine monster it seems "

"Well in that case .We will help you but you also have to help us in finding someone.if you promise that we will help you "

Hearing this zhun replied instantly"I agree whatever you have to say I agree .just help me and my grand- daughter.I can't let her die here.please help me fight against the monster"where did zhun had the time to think over the words .whatever conditions they presented he will agree to it for now .As for later hehe They shouldn't even think about it .

Soon Three people blasted a hole in the cave .it's entrance widened by several feets . Enough for 2 people to escape .

The three people started fighting together with zhun against Zhang plant monster .

Zhun got a breather for a while .

He started thinking whether to escape now or wait.Maybe these three can defeat Zhang .

He also thought of making them aware of pollens & strange flowers's effects .But didn't say so in the end .

Now instead of fighting against Zhang to save his life .He started fighting for a chance to Espace together with Sleeping girl .

While fighting Zhun observed .These three person's cultivaton is one realm weaker than me .with the side effects removed He could easily handle these 3 .

Each of them was fighting vine snake.

"Brother ah senior .do you have any plan .I don't think we are opponent of this monster .if you have any plan please tell us ."The leading brother asked zhun .

"Sorry I can't use full power because of some side effects .otherwise this monster wouldn't be my opponent. i can only wait to recover my full power . Because I don't have a way to remove these side effects "Zhun said with pitiful tone .

"Brother we are also feeling .we are getting weak .but why "

Leader hearing these looked at the strange greenery inside this cave .

"It's because of these strange flowers . Don't inhale the air around here .it can be poisonous with side effects "Upon realising leader looked sternly at Zhun .It didn't take much time for him to realise .They were baited here to fight a losing fight .

"Don't look at me like that .I didn't realise those flowers had such effects .otherwise I will never call you to fight together with me "

Leader gritted his teeth and told to his one people.

"Give me the potion to remove the side effects.i will fight against this monster & you will escape "

One of the person threw leader a potion.

Hearing this Zhun's eyes lit up .In one wave he cut down several vines . Than He gazed at the thousands of vines swinging around cave .Even the entrance was closed by vines .The girl was also surrounded by vines .Though the vines weren't attacking her . Previously he was still contemplating he had to leave the girl behind to escape .

But now since There was a potion that could remove side effects.Than there was nothing to worry .He could escape with sleeping girl .That too after killing Zhang .otherwise Zhang will be nightmare to him .

"Give me the potion .once I am recovered fully .I will kill these monster & save you all ."Zhun said shamelessly.

Leader ignored his words .

Zhun asked again."I am the strongest here . One realm higher than you .without my help you will all die .Even if you fight him you won't be able to defeat him even if you recover fully "

"Plus I still have to save my grand-daughter.She is surrounded by vines .I don't know if she is safe . Please give me chance to save my daughter and kill these abomination "zhun said in pitiful tone .

Even the three felt sympathy for him .After hearing his tone .They could feel his love for grand-daughter.

Leader threw a him vial of potions.

"Umm there are some side effects later on "Leader said .

But zhun had already gulped down the potion whole .Hearing this Zhun thought.

'Why didn't you tell me sooner '

"Senior we will protect you .you should focus on recovering"

Zhun nodded .he was Moved by them .

Than three person worked together to protect zhun .In the process they got injured many times .

Bloody holes appeared on their body .Despite suffering pain .They didn't stop to rest of recover .After some time passed zhun had fully recovered.

He was again moved by them .seeing them battered , injured,bloody .But not giving up to fight .He decided to repay their heroic actions with leaving them alive .

"All of you can rest now .I am fully recovered now .As for side effects I don't mind .I forgive you "Zhun said arrogantly.

Zhun walked towards Zhang .

With each breaths he realeased vines & greenery would wither & dry.

With each sword swing several vines were cut down.

Using one hand he grabbed the vine and sliced down with another .Even the vine snakes were easily killed .

Zhun heard from behind him compliments.

"So strong "

"Expert a peerless expert "

"What a skillful movements"

Zhun smiled hearing these .

After he cut down some thick vines on Zhang's body .He saw Zhang's face pierced by thin vines .

Zhang looked at zhun pitifully .He tried to convey something with his eyes .But how would zhun notice in anger .For him Zhang was plant monster now .Rather than human .

"That's why you weren't making any sound "

"Now I will take revenge for you killing my brother and trying to harm my daughter "

Zhang's unwilling body twitched to struggle .To resist the upcoming attack .

But against zhun fully recovered his defence failed .

His body was cut in too .But zhun didn't stop .

He continued slicing Zhang's tree body in pieces .

"How dare you kill my brother .

Dare to harm my grand- daughter.

Tried to kill me "

"You killed my sworn brother.i will slice you into pieces "

Zhun raged for a while .After cutting tree body into pieces .He burned the whole body .

Zhang's tree body turned into ashes .

All the greenery Inside cave withered and dried into dust .sleeping girl finally became visible to others .

One the people noticed her and instantly moved .

"Miss ,it's young miss .Brothers it's young miss we have been searching for a while "

"What it's young miss .Are you sure "

"Indeed its miss .we have been searching for days .we finally found her "

All three cried seeing sleeping girl .

Zhun was stunned by the display .

'This girl is their young miss .That means she has a family .it also means she will be taken away by them '

'Never He will not let them take her away. Since he could kill Zhang .He. Can kill them too for her '

'This girl belongs to me .she is mine .No one can take her away '

He looked viciously at the three .

At this times Leader recovered from his emotional outburst .Standing up he bowed to the zhun .

"Thanks for saving our young miss .we don't know how to repay this gratitude"leader said.

Zhun thought 'you can repay easily by dying '

Leader also noticed the piercing gaze .Than he thought .

"Senior the grand-daughter you were talking about .is she our young miss

I mean have you adopted her as grand- daughter"

Zhun nodded .

He had decided to kill them .

Leader looked at his two brothers and signaled to them .

Leader turned to face zhun.

With a deep thud .He knelt & bowed .His head hit floor .His two brothers did the same .They both kneeled & bowed .

Zhun was bewildered by their sudden kowtow .

'were they bowing to save their lives .it was useless .he will kill them '

Leader lifted his head and in sonorous voice said .

"Senior please take us under your wing . Senior please accept us "

"Senior please accept us .we have no place to go to "

"Senior please let us stay by miss's side and serve her "

Zhun was shocked .what was happening.

'were they not here to take her away .if so '

"What are you saying I don't understand "

"Senior our clan was destroyed .we have no place to go back to .Please keep young miss as your grand-daughter and also accept as subordinates.we only wish to serve young miss "

Zhun understood the crux of matter .Their clan was destroyed .so these people and their young miss had no place to go back to .

That means he could take their young miss as his grand-daughter and then as subordinates to his family .

Wasn't that equal to triple gains .He had truly benefited from this trip .He was gleeful inside .

But outside his face was unmoved .In a stern voice he asked .

"Tell me what happened to my grand- daughter and her clan before .I have been safekeeping her for many days .I have accepted her as my grand-daughter.Don't hide anything from me .otherwise I won't let you get close to my grand-daughter."

"Yes senior .we will tell you everything "Leader of the three replied .

After zhun heard some datils .he understood the essence.

Their clan used to be prominent clan in some other continent .

And these three could be considered elders of that clan .

One day a genius with special physique was born in their clan to the clan leader.This girl in her childhood .Broke all records .

Her physique was special.so she was covered by other forces .One day these forces teamed up to destroy their clan .In which they were successful.But fortunately this girl managed to escape with some retainers .

These three were also survivors and were loyal to young miss .They tracked her down & reached here .

They wanted nothing more than to serve young miss & see her growth .And since they had no place to go back to .It was better to join some force .

Since they had seen the senior's prowess .

They believed young miss would be safe hands .So they also wanted to join his clan and stay by young miss's side.

Zhun was again moved by them.he thought.

'But if these three were elders . wasn't their clan too weak '

"You all don't have to worry .since you want to serve my grand-daughter and stay by her side .I will let you become part of my clan .but remember you will have to listen to me "

"Senior we are willing to listen to you " all three replied in unison.

"Senior the situation outside is too dangerous.we shouldn't stay here ."

Leader commented .

zhun agreed with them .

"Let's move further away "
