A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 204

Chapter 204: One Strike to Defeat Yuan Zheng; Nie Long Realizes His Mistake

“Nie Long, why did you betray me?” Cai Zhengkun took a deep breath, looking at Nie Long, his eyes and tone filled with murderous intent.

Cai Zhengkun had always hated betrayal more than anything else; as his trusted aide, Nie Long should have known the consequences of betraying him.

Upon hearing Cai Zhengkun’s words, a flicker of fear flashed across Nie Long’s face, but he quickly remembered something and let out a cold snort.

“President, no, I should call you Cai Zhengkun now. We all serve Senior Yuan, and since you’ve betrayed him, I have every right to inform him.”

“Don’t talk about betrayal or anything like that; I’m simply doing what I ought to do.”

“Humph, very well! Just wait, I will make you understand what pain is.” Cai Zhengkun said furiously; at this moment, Nie Long had already become a dead man in his mind.

Hearing this, Nie Long felt a twinge of fear, but soon recalled that Yuan Zheng, a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, was right beside him. Even with Jiang Ye from the Wu Commerce Association on the opposing side, it would only be a stalemate.

If Cai Zhengkun were to make a move against him, would Yuan Zheng just stand by and do nothing?

At that moment, Yuan Zheng finally spoke, looking at Cai Zhengkun with a gaze full of indifference.

“Zhengkun, are you planning to betray This Seat?”

Although his tone was extremely calm, Cai Zhengkun could detect the murderous intent behind it.

Indeed, there was a hint of killing intent in Yuan Zheng’s voice; this was something Cai Zhengkun had come to understand after years of being by his side.

If earlier Cai Zhengkun might have been intimidated by Yuan Zheng’s power and afraid to confront him, now he felt unafraid.

With the knowledge of the Wu Commerce Association’s strength, Cai Zhengkun’s patience with Yuan Zheng had reached its limit; he was eager to avenge his family.

Thinking of this, Cai Zhengkun sneered and said, “Betrayal? What betrayal? My real goal has always been to take you down. I wonder if you still remember the Cai Family from thirty million years ago?”“Do you still remember the three thousand five hundred sixty-three souls of the Cai Family that tragically died at your hands?”

Upon hearing Cai Zhengkun’s words, Yuan Zheng couldn’t help but frown, as if he had fallen into deep thought, but his expression quickly turned grim.

“You are one of the Cai Family members from back then?”

“Indeed, I am Cai Zhengkun, the son of Cai Xukun, the Family Head of the Cai Family! If not for my travels outside back then, I would have likely died at your hands as well. But Heaven did not completely abandon my family, allowing me to survive.”

“So now, I am here to take revenge on behalf of the three thousand five hundred sixty-three members of the Cai Family.”

At this point, Cai Zhengkun’s expression could only be described as gnashing his teeth, his eyes fixed on Yuan Zheng, filled with rage.

Yuan Zheng snorted coldly in response.

“What? You’re just an Initial Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal; do you truly think you’re my opponent? And you, Jiang Ye, do you intend to battle me as well?”

As he spoke the last part, Yuan Zheng turned his gaze towards Jiang Ye, who stood behind Wu Rulong, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit. If Jiang Ye agreed with a nod, he wouldn’t mind keeping him here. He had long coveted the territory of the Xuan Central Region; if he weren’t wary of Jiang Ye, he would have acted long ago.

Now that Jiang Ye had come to him, he certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye chuckled and then shook his head, saying, “No, no, no, it’s not about starting a war; I’m just following orders.”

At Jiang Ye’s words, the brows of both Yuan Zheng and Nie Long furrowed in curiosity about who could command Jiang Ye.

But before they could contemplate, Wu Rulong could no longer hold back.

“Senior Jiang, why are you wasting words with them? Let’s just fight!”

“Understood, President!”

With Wu Rulong’s shout, Jiang Ye immediately sprang into action.

At that moment, Yuan Zheng was still curious about why Jiang Ye would obey the orders of a mere Mortal World Immortal, but he couldn’t think too much about it anymore. Although he was confident he could take down Jiang Ye, who was also at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, it would come at a significant cost. Therefore, Yuan Zheng did not let his guard down and immediately unleashed all his power without holding back.

Jiang Ye was similarly determined.

“Haori Palm!”

As Jiang Ye formed a gigantic palm imprint, Yuan Zheng’s expression suddenly changed; he looked utterly shocked and terrified.

“No, Jiang Ye, aren’t you a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal? You’re an Immortal King! When did you break through to become an Immortal King?”

“I don’t think I need to explain that to you; just prepare to be on your way!”

Jiang Ye let out a cold sneer, and with a thought, he sent the palm imprint flying forward. A full-force strike from an Initial Stage Immortal King could indeed be described as capable of destroying the world; this terrifying aura shocked the experts across the Huang Yuan Region, leaving them wondering who had provoked such a powerful senior.

Meanwhile, Nie Long, who stood behind Yuan Zheng, was frozen in place. Although he couldn’t perceive Jiang Ye’s actual level, the current situation suggested that Jiang Ye seemed to be far stronger than Yuan Zheng.

“No, no, no, this can’t be real; aren’t they all peak Great Luo Golden Immortals? How could Yuan Zheng possibly not be a match for Jiang Ye?”

Nie Long thought in disbelief, but the next second, the ruthless scene before him shattered all of his fantasies.

Under Jiang Ye’s unreserved palm strike, even though Yuan Zheng poured all his effort into resisting, even burning his vital blood to enhance his cultivation, it was utterly useless, and he was directly obliterated into dust by Jiang Ye’s attack.

By now, it was clear to Nie Long that he had backed the wrong side.

Just then, Cai Zhengkun appeared before Nie Long.

Looking at the murderous Cai Zhengkun before him, Nie Long could no longer hold back and knelt down, crying pitifully.

“President, it’s all my fault, I should have done better! I was merely forced by Yuan Zheng; I truly realize my mistake. Please, spare my life! I am willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to be eternally loyal to you!”

Hearing this, Cai Zhengkun’s expression remained indifferent as he shook his head gently.

“Nie Long, you are my subordinate and have been by my side for many years, so I understand your thoughts quite well. You don’t actually feel regret for everything you’ve done; you’re just afraid because you know you’re going to die.”

“Don’t worry, after being by my side for so long, I won’t let you go so easily.”

“No, no, no! President, please! Don’t!”

Nie Long was filled with unimaginable fear, but no matter what, Cai Zhengkun was one realm above him, and under his full power, a peak Golden Immortal like Nie Long couldn’t possibly resist. It was like how Yuan Zheng, at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, couldn’t withstand Jiang Ye, who was at the Initial Stage of Immortal King.

After knocking Nie Long unconscious and crippling his cultivation, Cai Zhengkun then approached Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye, expressing his gratitude.

“Thank you, President Wu and Senior Jiang, for helping me eliminate Yuan Zheng. I remember everything I promised; once we return, I will announce that the Earth Dragon Commerce Association will be renamed as the Wu Commerce Association.”

“Alright, then from today on, you will be the President of the Huang Yuan Region branch of the Wu Commerce Association!”

Wu Rulong glanced at Cai Zhengkun and then said with great seriousness.

“Yes, President!”
