Chapter 2279

After the long-haired old man brought Zhuowen to a remote dead end, he turned to Zhuowen and said indifferently, "Your strength is not bad. It's rare for a rogue cultivator to reach Void Sky Sixth Step. Now, I'll give you a chance that others can't even dream of. Join our Cao Family and pledge your loyalty to our Cao Family."After saying that, the long-haired old man put his hands behind his back and revealed an arrogant expression. It was as if his words were the biggest charity to Zhuowen.Zhuowen looked at the long-haired old man in front of him with a funny expression. This old man was only at the early stage of Void Sky Seventh Step. In front of Zhuowen, he was nothing. Yet, he dared to boast so shamelessly in front of Zhuowen.Of course, if it was an ordinary Void Sky Six Steps cultivator, they might really be afraid in front of this long-haired old man. In addition, this old man was backed by the powerful Cao Family of the Old Orchid Galaxy.However, Zhuowen wouldn't. Not to mention that the Cao Family couldn't compare to the Quicksand Family, even if it was the Quicksand Family, Zhuowen wouldn't be afraid.Now, Zhuowen's strength was enough to instantly kill any Void Sky Eighth Step cultivator. He was close to a half-step Void Sky Ninth Step cultivator.The strongest person in the Quicksand Family was a half-step Void Sky Ninth Step cultivator. Zhuowen might not be afraid of the Quicksand Family, so why would he be afraid of this Cao Family?"What?Hurry up and give me an answer. Otherwise, you know the consequences. Our Cao Family is powerful enough to rank in the top five in the Ancient Orchid Star River. You'd better be sensible. "The long-haired old man saw that Zhuowen had fallen silent and frowned. He immediately released the pressure in his body, preparing to use it to intimidate Zhuowen.Zhuowen stood boldly, unaffected by the long-haired old man. He said indifferently, "Scram. Your Cao Family isn't qualified for me to serve."The long-haired old man didn't look surprised. His goal wasn't to make Zhuowen join the Cao Family, but to give him a reason to kill.Since Zhuowen had rejected him, the long-haired old man naturally had no scruples."Then I'm really sorry. No one can refuse the Cao Family's invitation and leave alive."As the long-haired old man spoke, he slowly pulled out the divine sword from his waist. However, when he was halfway through pulling it out, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. His right hand had lost all feeling.When his gaze landed on his right hand, his right hand had been sliced off by a blood sword at some point in time. The half-unsheathed divine sword had also fallen to the ground.The long-haired old man was stunned. He didn't even notice when the blood sword appeared beside him or when it cut off his right arm. He didn't notice any of this at all.The long-haired elder wasn't stupid. He knew that the reason for this was because the blood sword was too terrifying, much more powerful than him."You're wrong. I rejected your Cao Clan's invitation, but I will still leave here alive."Zhuowen spoke this time. The long-haired old man stiffly turned his head and looked at the white-clothed young man slowly walking over. The fear in his eyes grew heavier and heavier.The long-haired old man wanted to call out, but he found that he couldn't make a sound. Then, he lost his last bit of consciousness.Zhuowen silently looked at the long-haired old man who had been beheaded by the blood sword. If the long-haired old man had spoken nicely to him, Zhuowen wouldn't have killed him. Unfortunately, the long-haired old man didn't know his limits. Not only did he not give Zhuowen any rewards, he even wanted to kill him.Since that was the case, Zhuowen naturally wouldn't let anyone bully him. He used a thunderous method to kill the long-haired old man.The battle on Zhuowen's side had happened too quickly. It had already ended before the shockwaves of the battle could even spread. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.After putting away the long-haired old man's spirit ring, Zhuowen walked towards the Cao Family.Although he wasn't very clear about the internal conflicts of the Cao Family, he knew that Cao Zhiyuan's return to the Cao Family boded ill rather than well.Moreover, Cao Zhiyuan was the only person he knew in the Old Orchid Galaxy. Naturally, Zhuowen couldn't just stand by and watch her die. Moreover, Zhuowen hadn't asked Cao Zhiyuan about the details of the Quicksand Family.No matter what, Zhuowen would definitely help Cao Zhiyuan.In the Cao Family's hall, the Patriarch, Cao Xuanbing, was sitting at the head of the table. The upper echelons of the Cao Family were sitting on both sides of the hall.However, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn and tense. The upper echelons on both sides of the hall didn't dare to make a sound. They were carefully looking at Cao Xuanbing, who was sitting at the head of the table.Cao Zhiyuan was led by two guards to the front of the hall. She raised her pretty face and stared at Cao Xuanbing with her clear eyes. She didn't say anything.Cao Xuanbing also looked at Cao Zhiyuan silently. However, this silence didn't last long. Cao Xuanbing opened his mouth."Zhiyuan, Uncle wants to tell you a piece of unfortunate news!" Cao Xuanbing said indifferently.Cao Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes narrowed as an ominous feeling arose in her heart. However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she stared at Cao Xuanbing, waiting for him to continue."Your father betrayed our Cao Family. Therefore, according to the family's rules, I sent him to the Black Water Prison. You probably didn't know about this, right?" Cao Xuanbing continued.Cao Zhiyuan's delicate body trembled. She automatically ignored the fact that her father had betrayed the family. The only thing in her mind was the Black Water Prison.The Black Water Prison was the most terrifying dungeon of the Cao Family. Before a prisoner was sent to the Black Water Prison, their body would be cut into thousands of pieces. After their body was drenched in blood, they would be tied up in the Black Water Prison.However, this wasn't the most important thing. The most terrifying thing was the Black Water Prison.This was because the Black Water Prison's Black Water Prison was filled with countless black insects. These black insects were only the size of a fingernail. However, they loved to drill into a person's wounds and enter the person's internal organs through the wounds.These insects weren't fatal. Their only use was to stimulate all the nerves in the person's body, causing the person's pain to be magnified by thousands of times. It made the prisoner feel as if he was better off dead.In the past, the Black Water Prison was used to imprison the Cao Family's mortal enemies. Moreover, most of the prisoners couldn't withstand the pain in the Black Water Prison and chose to commit suicide.Cao Zhiyuan couldn't hold back her tears as she hysterically shouted at Cao Xuanbing, "Cao Xuanbing, you've gone too far. The Black Water Prison only imprisons the Cao Family's mortal enemies. My father is a direct descendant of the Cao Family. How can you treat him like this?"Cao Xuanbing's face darkened. He didn't expect Cao Zhiyuan to be so bold as to call him by his name in front of everyone. She didn't put him in her eyes at all."Your father colluded with the Cao Family's mortal enemy, the Bakufu. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. Otherwise, our Cao Family would be in danger. I'm already being merciful by not killing a scum like your father!""And you, how dare you call me by my name? You must know about your father's betrayal, but you didn't report it. I'm afraid you're an accomplice. Men, capture this unfilial son and imprison him in the Black Water Prison as well …"
