C1541 Night Feast
"Hmm, the Devil Ape is the biggest overlord in our Small Spirit Realm. For so many years, we humans have been persecuted by them. It can be said that they are our biggest enemy. However, the Devil Ape's power is still growing. Young Master Zhang, are you sure you want to kill the Devil Ape? If you get revenge from the Devil Ape, it won't be a joke." Sid looked at Zhang Tianhao and asked seriously.
Zhang Tianhao slightly nodded his head and asked seriously, "Senior, junior is definitely not messing around. Junior will definitely kill the Devil Ape."
"Alright, although this is a bit risky, since I have promised you, I won't refuse. However, I will need some time to arrange some martial artists who are familiar with the Devil Ape Mountain Range. Young Master Zhang, you will have to wait for a while." Sid said to Zhang Tianhao.
Seeing that Sid had agreed, Zhang Tianhao quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, City Lord."
Sid waved his hand at Zhang Tianhao and said with a smile, "Haha. Young Master Zhang, you don't need to thank me. I still have to thank you! You saved our entire family."
"Since that's the case, this junior will take his leave first." Zhang Tianhao cupped his hands at Sid.
"I'm not sending you off!" Sid laughed.
After Zhang Tianhao left, Sid noticed that his daughter was staring at Zhang Tianhao's back. He sighed and said, "Daughter, did you fall for him?"
Xijie lowered her head and said shyly, "Of course not. Father is just joking."
"Sigh! Father, how could I not know what you are thinking? Everyone likes heroes. But his background is a little suspicious..." Sid said to Xijie with a serious expression.
Xijie said to her father with dissatisfaction, "Father, you're being too paranoid. I just saved you. If you don't thank me, you will doubt me. Aren't you afraid that I will be disappointed? Besides, didn't I say that he came from the Devil Ape Mountain Range?"
Sid laughed bitterly and said, "Daughter, you are too naive. No wonder you were toyed with by Wey Jie. He said that he came from the ancient race of Devil Ape Mountain Range. Do you know whether it's true or not? The Devil Ape Mountain Range is hundreds of thousands of miles long. There is no way to verify this."
Xijie was still a little dissatisfied as she said, "But you don't have any evidence to prove that he is lying!"
Sid nodded and said, "Yes, Father has no evidence. However, the reason why I suspect you is because I received news that those people from the outer domains are coming again."
"Those demons?" Xijie's expression changed.
Xijie had grown up listening to stories about the demons from the outer realm. She knew that these demons would come once every ten years. (The Carefree Sect controlled different small worlds, so the worlds they passed the test in were different.) These demons would plunder the local resources endlessly, creating a huge conflict with the humans of the Small Spirit Realm. However, because these demons had very high cultivation levels, the warriors of the Small Spirit Realm were no match for them. Therefore, every time these demons appeared, it would cause great misery to the people of the Small Spirit Realm.
Sid shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Actually, it is unfair to call these people from outside the realm as devils."
"Dad, isn't that right? Didn't you say that these devils would come and plunder our wealth? Did Third Uncle die in the hands of these devils?" Xijie looked at her father and asked in confusion.
Sid shook his head and said to Xijie, "Xijie, do you know why the devil apes, as the overlords of the Small Spirit Realm, rarely leave the Devil Ape Mountain Range?"
Xijie seemed to have never thought of this question. She looked at Sid curiously and asked, "Dad, why is that so? Don't tell me that these devil apes are afraid of us?"
"Afraid of us, my daughter. Do you really dare to think about it? I only have the cultivation of the Great Monarch Stage. The strongest devil ape is equivalent to a human half-step God Stage. I even heard that the Ape Ancestor of the devil apes is a God Stage." Sid said with a serious expression.
"Ah, so strong. Then why do these devil apes rarely appear in our human territory?" Xijie looked at her father in surprise and asked.
Sid nodded slightly and said, "The biggest reason is naturally because of these people from outside the realm. Every time these people from outside the realm descended into the Small Spirit Realm, they would kill most of the devil apes. This is also the reason why the devil apes didn't spread out in the Small Spirit Realm."
Xijie looked at her father in surprise and said, "Father, then don't we have to thank these people from outside the realm?"
"Mm, from a certain point of view, yes." Sid said.
...
That night, Sid held a grand banquet in the City Lord Mansion to welcome Zhang Tianhao.
"Young Master Zhang, I'm Sister Xijie's cousin. My name is Hu Hai. Thank you for saving my sister. Here's a toast to you." Hu Hai said to Zhang Tianhao.
"You're welcome!"
Zhang Tianhao also did his best.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that your cultivation is very strong. Even Sheng Tianhong is not your match?" Hu Hai asked Zhang Tianhao.
"It's just luck. Brother Hu, don't take it to heart." Zhang Tianhao smiled at Hu Hai.
Hu Hai quickly said to Zhang Tianhao, "Luck is also a part of strength. I hope that Young Master Zhang can teach me a thing or two."
Zhang Tianhao had already seen through Hu Hai's cultivation. He was only a High Rank Martial Saint. Naturally, he would not take this cultivation to heart. He just shook his head and said, "Fists and feet have no eyes. Forget it."
"Young Master Zhang, you look down on me?" Hu Hai was a little unhappy when he saw Zhang Tianhao reject him several times.
Zhang Tianhao shook his head and said, "It's not like that. It's just that you are not my match. I also have no intention of fighting."
"Hmph, if I insist on you teaching me?" Hu Hai jumped down from the stage and looked at Zhang Tianhao.
"Hu Hai, what are you doing? Young Master Zhang is my guest." Xijie frowned slightly.
Hu Hai smiled at Xijie and said, "Sister, Hu Hai heard that the City Lord Mansion's guards said that Young Master Zhang is an immortal. Hu Hai has been a martial maniac since he was young. This time, it's rare for me to meet Young Master Zhang. If I can't learn from him, I will regret it."
Seeing that this battle was unavoidable, Zhang Tianhao sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then let's end it here!"
Zhang Tianhao stood in front of Hu Hai and said to him, "How about ten moves?"
"Alright!"
Hu Hai was very happy to see Zhang Tianhao agree to teach him. He said to Zhang Tianhao, "Young Master Zhang, be careful."
Seeing Hu Hai's punch coming at him, Zhang Tianhao smiled faintly and used the Divine Walking Hundred Changes. His body swayed lightly.
Hu Hai realized that although Zhang Tianhao was right in front of him, his punch had missed.
"How is this possible?"
Hu Hai was a little unhappy and hurriedly threw a few more punches towards Zhang Tianhao like a huge wave. The heavy shadow of the fist enveloped Zhang Tianhao.
However, Zhang Tianhao still did not retaliate. Although Hu Hai's attack looked very strong, in his eyes, it was full of flaws. He used the Wave Soaring Small Step as if he was taking a stroll in the park. Although Hu Hai's attacks were like a storm, they all missed.
