“Impossible…”

“How could this happen?”

Seeing that Wu Cai Immortal still refused to believe the truth, the Zhang Family Patriarch went straight to the point and dropped a bombshell:

“Third brother!”

“Before your second brother died, didn’t he also invite you to his island to be a guest?”

“And besides, he told you to keep it a secret from me.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal was stunned.

Because, at the time, that was indeed the case.

His sworn second brother had said he was going to get a special Magical Treasure to give to his elder brother and asked for his assistance in checking it out.

He also said to keep it a secret from his elder brother, claiming it was meant to be a surprise.

“At that time, it was exactly because he wanted to harm you that I eliminated him in advance.”

“Now, do you still have any doubts?”

Wu Cai Immortal was stunned for a long while before he came to his senses.

“Is that really so?”

“Of course,” declared the Zhang Family Patriarch emphatically.

“Then why didn’t you explain to me at the beginning?” Wu Cai Immortal asked the Zhang Family Patriarch.

“Third brother, haven’t you noticed?”

“You’ve always had a deep prejudice against me.”

“Even now…”

“Back then, even if I had explained, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have listened.”

“Besides, I didn’t have any evidence.”

After hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal gave a wry smile. He indeed had always held prejudices against the Zhang Family Patriarch.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a deep rift between the two of them.

However, this prejudice went back a long way…

“Enough, let’s not talk about this matter anymore…”

“That incident is in the past now, and our misunderstanding seems to have been resolved…”

The Zhang Family Patriarch chuckled lightly, as if he had let go of something, and suddenly he appeared much more relaxed.

Wu Cai Immortal remained silent for a long time before nodding:

“Yes…”

“It’s resolved…”

After saying this, the Zhang Family Patriarch smiled at Wu Cai Immortal and said:

“With this issue resolved, I can let go of a burden that’s been weighing on my heart.”

“Elder brother…”

Wu Cai Immortal pondered for a moment before speaking.

Calling out this “elder brother,” it was evident that Wu Cai Immortal believed the Zhang Family Patriarch’s words to a large extent.

However, the Zhang Family Patriarch raised his hand, stopping Wu Cai Immortal from continuing, and said instead:

“Third brother, today your elder brother will ask you for one last thing.”

“After this…”

“From then on, there will be a complete severance of brotherly ties between us.”

…

…

Hearing the words of the Zhang Family Patriarch, Wu Cai Immortal, who was initially somewhat sad, was first taken aback, then he looked up at the Zhang Family Patriarch, his eyes full of confusion:

“May I know what you wish to borrow, elder brother?”

Not just Wu Cai Immortal, but even Lin Jing and the other two were perplexed. Even though the misunderstanding between them had been cleared, why would they break off their brotherly ties?

“Cackle…”

Subsequently, the Zhang Family Patriarch grinned, letting out a laugh, but this smile was somewhat strange.

After the laugh, the Zhang Family Patriarch spoke again to Wu Cai Immortal:

“Third brother, why don’t you ‘lend’ me your life for a moment…”

Having heard that, Wu Cai Immortal immediately put away his grief and became extremely vigilant, quickly retreating a distance and glaring at the Zhang Family Patriarch, shouting:

“Zhang Chenfan, it turns out you’ve been deceiving me all along.”

In the face of Wu Cai Immortal’s response, the Zhang Family Patriarch did not get angry but instead explained to Wu Cai Immortal:

“Third brother, I haven’t lied to you; everything I just said is true.”

“Haven’t I told you before?”

“Second brother hid a Demonic Path technique. It’s because of this Demonic Path technique that second brother killed our fifth brother.”

“I had no evidence before because I couldn’t find the technique second brother had hidden.”

“But now…”

“I have it!!!”

Upon hearing these words, the Wu Cai Immortal immediately became alert.

Yet, the Zhang Family Patriarch paid no mind and continued to speak:

“Speaking of which, third brother’s Spirit Root aptitude is really enviable…”

“Third brother, you’re just over three hundred years old, right? And you’ve already reached the Golden Core Late Stage.”

“That’s not like me.”

“Bearing a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, it took over five hundred years just to barely reach the Golden Core Late Stage.”

“And I have already taken a Lifespan Extension Pill. There isn’t much time left for me.”

“Then there’s that beast from the Howling Sky Wolf Clan; its slash was too tyrannical. With just one strike, I was gravely injured, costing me at least twenty years of my lifespan.”

“After taking the Lifespan Extension Pill, I gained forty years of life, but that one slash took half.”

“This damned beast…”

At this moment, the Zhang Family Patriarch no longer displayed his previous composure; his eyes were gloomy as he cursed nonstop.

What he was referring to must have been the demon cultivator from the Demon Race Secret Realm who escaped before.

That demon cultivator was indeed formidable, which Lin Jing had also witnessed.

The Wu Cai Immortal said nothing, staring intently at the Zhang Family Patriarch and remaining on guard at all times.

The Zhang Family Patriarch ignored the Wu Cai Immortal’s actions, instead, his excitement grew as he continued:

“But, I guess I’m lucky…”

“I actually seized the Nirvana Flower from it.”

“You probably don’t know, third brother, but that demon cultivator had two Nirvana Flowers on him. One of them was destroyed during the battle with us.”

“And the other has fallen into my hands.”

Wu Cai Immortal’s eyebrows furrowed deeply as he exclaimed:

“You actually obtained a complete Nirvana Flower…”

Clearly, this was news to him as well.

“Yes…”

The Zhang Family Patriarch nodded in confirmation and then continued:

“With the Nirvana Flower, there’s hope for advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, and so my lifespan can be extended.”

While speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch’s eyes sparkled with a peculiar light:

“But my cultivation is too low. After more than five hundred years of practice, I have only just reached the Golden Core Late Stage, still far from the Golden Core Peak.”

“Even if I gather the materials and refine the Nirvana Elixir, without sufficient cultivation, it’s all in vain.”

“However, heaven never seals off all the exits…”

As he got to this point, the Zhang Family Patriarch grew more and more excited:

“Not long before, I finally found that Demonic Path Technique second brother had once hidden.”

“My chance for cultivation advancement is in sight.”

“As long as I practice that technique, I can quickly raise my cultivation.”

“Then, I’ll make another trip to the Demonic Monster Sea, gather the materials, and be able to refine the Nirvana Elixir. As long as I break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“My lifespan can then increase by another 500 years, by which time I could have a thousand-year lifespan.”

“So, third brother…”

“You will sacrifice your life to fulfill your big brother’s wish.”

After listening, Wu Cai Immortal furrowed his brows tightly, sensing an uneasy premonition.

“What kind of technique is it?”

Wu Cai Immortal asked, voicing his doubts.

The Zhang Family Patriarch then let out a sly laugh:

“That technique… you should have heard of it too…”

After speaking, the aura around the Zhang Family Patriarch began to change.

A gloomy and terrifying aura emerged from him, and within this aura, there was also a violent scent of blood.

It was as though a frenzied demon cultivator was present.
