Realm of the Night God

Xu Meijing's words made Yang Haoran's doubts clear up a bit, but not completely.

As soon as Xu Meijing finished speaking, a loud explosion sounded from above, and the two of them looked up at the same time.

Yang Haoran's appearance had stopped the two people who were fighting in mid-air, but it was only temporary. At this moment, the two of them clashed again, causing the explosion.

A battle of this level didn't have much appeal to Yang Haoran at present, but he was still interested in why they were fighting.

"What's going on with these two people fighting one-on-one again?"

Yang Haoran looked at Xu Meijing and continued to ask the doubts in his heart.

"This is a gamble. If the young man wins, the remaining members of the Zhang family will be spared. Otherwise, everyone in the Zhang family will die today."

Xu Meijing's words made Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrow slightly.

"Will the people who came for revenge accept such a gamble?"

Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't agree to gamble with Zhang Li. It wasn't a question of whether they had confidence in winning against Zhang Li, but as the dominant party, they had no need to do so.

In front of these avengers, the Zhang family was at a complete disadvantage. As the weaker party, they had no right to negotiate terms. What made them agree to gamble with the Zhang family?

Yang Haoran was very doubtful about this, but Xu Meijing's next answer would clear up his doubts.

"I proposed the gamble. If the Zhang family didn't agree, I would wipe them out. If anyone on the avengers' side didn't agree, I would kill them. They agreed very readily, thinking the gamble was a good solution."

Xu Meijing's words made Yang Haoran's eyes widen in surprise, and then he gave Xu Meijing a thumbs-up.

"Awesome, domineering, impressive!"

Using lives as a threat, who would dare disagree? Who would say this method was bad?

At this point, Yang Haoran roughly understood the whole situation. Whether it was Xu Meijing or the other avengers, they all wanted to destroy the Zhang family to vent their anger.

However, Xu Meijing considered that Zhang Li seemed to have some relationship with him, so she didn't directly attack the Zhang family. But if this matter was left like this, she would feel uncomfortable in her heart.

Moreover, even if she forced herself to ignore her discomfort and not pursue the matter, the others wouldn't let the Zhang family off. They would still take action against the Zhang family.

In the short term, these people still had some fear of the disappeared Zhang Changchun father and son, but this fear would gradually weaken with time. When this fear weakened to a certain extent, these people would definitely take action to destroy the Zhang family.

At that time, Zhang Li alone would not be able to stop all the avengers. Forcing them to stop would only lead to one result: death without a whole corpse, and even their soul would be scattered by the opponent.

So, Xu Meijing used this gamble to solve the problem, seemingly to vent her inner anger, but in reality, she was helping the Zhang family, or rather, helping Zhang Li.

Because only this method would give the Zhang family a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, in the current situation, the Zhang family wouldn't even have a glimmer of hope and would definitely be destroyed.Although Xu Meijing didn't explicitly say it, Yang Haoran naturally understood the underlying principle. Not only did he understand, but the others who came to trouble the Zhang family also understood. However, their strength was no match for Xu Meijing's, and on top of that, Xu Meijing's actions were overbearing, so they dared not speak out against her and could only follow her demands to engage in a battle of wits.

They didn't know that Xu Meijing had already opened her earth soul, and Xu Meijing didn't reveal her full strength in front of them. She simply casually demonstrated her skills, which completely intimidated these avengers.

In the end, it was because their strength was too weak in Xu Meijing's eyes. The weak are always at the mercy of the strong, and the strong can do as they please, while the weak can only follow. Otherwise, they would likely bring disaster upon themselves.

In reality, they didn't know that Xu Meijing wanted to eliminate the Zhang family even more than they did. It was just that she was held back by Yang Haoran, which is why she made this decision, leaving a glimmer of hope for Zhang Li and the Zhang family to survive.

However, this glimmer of hope was extremely slim, because the person fighting Zhang Li at this moment was stronger than him. If Zhang Li didn't have a way to turn the tables, it wouldn't be easy for him to win, and the likelihood of him losing was much higher.

Understanding Xu Meijing's intentions, Yang Haoran looked up at the intense battle between Zhang Li and his opponent.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Zhang Li was so determined to protect the Zhang family, even to the point of risking his own life. He really couldn't understand what was going on in Zhang Li's mind.

Not to mention Xu Meijing, who also harbored resentment towards the Zhang family. This time, he almost lost his life, and the Zhang family was directly responsible. If it weren't for being framed, there wouldn't have been a series of subsequent events.

However, this Zhang Li was indeed a troublemaker. Yang Haoran had a certain affection for this young man, and during that great battle, Zhang Li had even come to remind him not to trust Zhang Changchun. Although the timing of the reminder was questionable, at least Zhang Li had done so, and from his perspective, his intentions were good. Yang Haoran would definitely remember this favor, and with his personality, it would be difficult for him to take action against Zhang Li.

Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing didn't say another word, and both of them looked up at the intense battle above.

Zhang Li was still young, but his strength was quite impressive. In the Ancheng and Lecheng areas, it was rare to see someone so young with such strength.

When Yang Haoran first met Zhang Li, his strength was average, but now, the gap was enormous. In this short period, Zhang Li had managed to raise his strength to this level, which required both opportunity and effort.

However, although Zhang Li's strength was impressive among his peers, it was limited to his peers. His current opponent was a middle-aged man, and compared to him, Zhang Li's strength was somewhat weaker.

It wasn't that all middle-aged people were stronger than Zhang Li, but the middle-aged man Zhang Li was facing now was indeed stronger than him. Brоught tо yоu by МV6LЕМРY6R.

From the middle-aged man's techniques, it was clear that he didn't belong to any sect or faction. He was an exorcist, just like Zhang Li, and both of them used mystical artifacts, specifically wooden magic swords.

Yang Haoran didn't know how long they had been fighting, but from the current situation, it was clear that Zhang Li was at a disadvantage.

In Yang Haoran's opinion, if Zhang Li couldn't come up with a more powerful move, they would continue to fight, and it wouldn't be long before Zhang Li lost.

After watching for a while, Zhang Li continued to retreat, and Yang Haoran couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He withdrew his gaze from Zhang Li and looked at the area where the Zhang family was gathered.

Earlier, he had only glanced at the area where the Zhang family was, but now, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Zhang family was left with only some women, children, and the elderly.

From this, it was clear that during his recovery period, the Zhang family had already suffered retaliation and lost some people, and the ones who died were the strong ones, which is why the Zhang family was now left with only these women, children, and the elderly.

Among these people, some had angry and resentful expressions, while others looked fearful. Especially the small children, some of whom were tightly grasping their parents' clothes, while others were even hiding in their mothers' arms.

This scene made Yang Haoran's brow furrow involuntarily.

According to the rules of the battle of wits, if Zhang Li lost this fight, the remaining members of the Zhang family would have to pay the price for their family's actions.

Adults were one thing, but it was a pity for these innocent children who didn't understand anything.
