“Chen Yixuan has gone missing?”

“What do you mean?!”

The citizens of the Pangu Continent were all stunned.

“It means that Chen Yixuan didn’t leave the ancient ruins; he might already be dead....”

“Dead in the ancient ruins? Who did it?!”

“It could be anyone. The ancient ruins are a place with no signal, so anyone could have done it...

“Perhaps you don’t know that half of the people who entered the ruins this time didn’t return...

At this moment, people finally realized how terrifying the ancient ruins could be.

The most terrifying thing about the ruins may not be encountering all sorts of dangerous terrains or crystal beasts; it’s likely to run into someone and be unsure about their intentions toward you!

Whilst everyone was discussing heatedly, Du Gang came out of seclusion and sought Kong Luo.

“Lord Kong Luo, I need a favor...”

He initially intended to ask various tribes for money by himself, but on second thought, he still needed the protection of the Kong family, so he decided that he should ask for their help.

Kong Luo didn’t immediately agree, instead he asked calmly, “Tell me what it is, and then I’ll decide if I will help you...”

Du Gang coughed lightly and took out a promissory note.

“Lord Kong Luo, I want to collect a debt from the Chen family. Chen Yixuan owes me five hundred Saint Crystals!”

“Chen Yixuan?”

Kong Luo was startled. He remembered that name from recent news reports,

“Did you encounter Chen Yixuan in the ruins?”

He glanced at the note and saw that it indeed had Chen Yixuan’s signature, but he didn’t know if it was authentic or not.

“Tell me the details!”

Du Gang began to narrate, “I met Chen Yixuan in the ancient ruins...and then, I captured him...”

“These five hundred Saint Crystals are his ransom!”

Upon hearing this, Kong Luo stared at him, flabbergasted.

“You, boy...’

He hadn’t expected that Chen Yixuan, who had been hailed as the champion of the Pangu competition region in the news, had been captured by Du Gang. No wonder!

A slight smile appeared on his face, ‘Good job! Who would have thought you could take hostages! Sure, I’ll help you. It’s just five hundred Saint Crystals. The Chen family is definitely going to pay up...”

“Eh, eh!”

Du Gang had an innocent look on his face, “Lord Kong Luo, it’s more than five hundred Saint Crystals!”

“More?”

Kong Luo squinted his eyes and laughed, “Did you capture more people?” Du Gang nodded.

He shook his head and laughed, “Your courage is immense, stirring up trouble just after arriving here!”

“No worries, I’ll help you collect the debt...”

Before he could finish, Du Gang interrupted, “Sir, I am willing to share half of the Saint Crystals with you!”

He thought about it carefully. If he had Kong Luo help him in collecting the debt of sixty or seventy thousand Saint Crystals, it might not sit too well.

Furthermore, Kong Luo was an Eternal Level strongman who was responsible for his safety. Such a strongman could become dissatisfied with him at any point, and that wouldn’t bode well for him.

No matter what the Kong family thought, at this moment, Kong Luo was the most important person in his mind, as he is his protector.

“Half?”

Kong Luo laughed, “A mere few hundred Saint Crystals, you keep them...”

He suddenly stopped, realizing something. He frowned, “Wait a minute, did you capture a lot of people?”

Du Gang put on the same innocent look again, “Sir, I heard from Brother Kong Xu that a quarter of the Pangu Continent have betrayed the Ancient God... I met quite a few people along the way and I didn’t know who were the enemies, so, I’ve captured around three hundred people...”

“More than three hundred people...’ Kong Luo was speechless. “For real?”

Du Gang nodded heavily.

“More than three hundred people, the fewer ones signed for two hundred Saint Crystals, and the more ones signed for five hundred Saint Crystals. Don’t worry, I asked them, and this price is very reasonable, these families should be willing to pay the ransom...”

Kong Luo’s expression was quite bizarre after hearing this!

He had thought that Du Gang might have ended up dead in the ruins, but, instead, it was like a wolf amongst sheep!

“More than three hundred people...’

Kong Luo thought for a moment, then asked, “Did you capture anyone from a major family?”

Du Gang hurriedly shook his head and quickly said, “I captured four people from the Yu Family, but we have already reconciled. And I have obtained a promise from Yu Shuiyao not to pursue this any further on video. Besides that, I managed to avoid members of the major families...”

“Good guy!”

Kong Luo once again exclaimed in astonishment, “How much did you ask Yu Shuiyao for?”

“One thousand!”

Kong Luo was speechless, ‘You really dared to ask...”

Du Gang showed the same innocent look again, and stupidly said, “No, I only asked them for eight hundred Saint Crystals, but Yu Shuiyao insisted on giving

me one thousand- She even said that the extra two hundred. compared to what

they would earn in the remaining time, was nothing...’

“Is that so?”

Kong Luo was curious, muttering to himself, “I heard that this Yu Shuiyao, the younger generation of the Yu family, is a very meticulous and troublesome woman...”

Hearing this, Du Gang looked puzzled, “Really? I think she seems quite reasonable. Not only was she polite and courteous, but she also gave me an additional two hundred Saint Crystals...”

Kong Luo shrugged and laughed, “Maybe I’ve been misinformed, Yu Shuiyao isn’t the woman she’s made out to be... Or maybe it’s because you are with the Ancient God, so she respects you!”

After thinking for a moment, Du Gang was sure that he never revealed himself, so she couldn’t possibly know that he was with the Ancient God. Therefore, the most likely explanation was that Yu Shuiyao was indeed a good person!

However, he didn’t take this to heart and quickly asked, “Sir, when shall we start collecting the debt?”

Kong Luo suddenly revealed a brilliant smile and said, “Don’t call me Sir, it’s too formal. Do as Brother Kong Xu does, call me Uncle Kong.”

“Uncle Kong!”

Kong Luo said with a smile, “I want them now. Release them, and let’s see who they’re from...”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang did not suspect a thing and quickly released over three hundred people from his inner world.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

In an instant, over three hundred people all fell on the ground.

Looking at this bunch of men and women in exquisite clothing, Kong Luo smirked.

Just then, Prince Kong Xu walked in.

“Uncle... Huh?”

He stopped, watching the over three hundred young men and women tied up on the floor, stunned.

“Brother Kong, you are here!”

Seeing him approach, Du Gang greeted him politely.

Kong Xu asked, looking at Du Gang, “Who are these people...”

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, and Du Gang playing dumb, Kong Luo became frustrated.

“You, how many Saint Crystals did you get in the ruins?”

Upon hearing this, Kong Xu broke into a smile and responded cheerfully,

“Uncle, I had really good luck this time. I obtained almost five thousand Saint Crystals and even tracked down a Divine Crystal Beast, yielding a lower-grade Divine Crystal!”

“So, it’s worth about fifteen thousand Saint crystals?”

Kong Luo replied casually.

Kong Xu nodded with pride, “Exactly, I dare say, among everyone present, I must have obtained the most Saint Crystals...”

“Okay, stop bragging...”

Kong Luo interrupted him, “It’s really embarrassing. You’ve wasted your considerable strength. As a Ninth Rank Sector Lord, you only gained fifteen thousand Saint Crystals from one trip. Look at Du Gang. As a Rank One Sector Lord, he obtained sixty to seventy thousand from one trip!”

“Sixty to seventy thousand Saint Crystals?”

Yu Shuiyao’s chest heaved with anger.

This surprised everyone present.

They felt even more that there was definitely something fishy between Yu Shuiyao and Ancient God Du Gang.

Seeing that she was about to say something more, Du Gang pretended to check the time, lifting up his wrist to show the Light Computer.

The threat in his gesture was unmistakable.

Seeing this, Yu Shuiyao gave a cold snort, looking frosty as she said, “Du Gang,

I’ll remember you. We’ll see!”

After saying this, she walked away with the talented young men and women, leaving the scene.

As soon as she left, all the people present started to get excited. They looked at Du Gang with a gossiping expression.

“Ancient God, what did you do to Yu Shuiyao?”

“Du Gang, what exactly happened to you two?”

The crowd was asking casually, not expecting Du Gang to answer.

Who knew, Du Gang really did open his mouth. He revealed a mouthful of white teeth, chuckled, “Of course, it’s a little secret only known between us!”

“Holy crap!”

This is explosive!

The people at the scene were all shocked by Du Gang’s words, they recorded it and uploaded it to the internet.

At this time, Kong Xu, was also looking at Du Gang in shock, “Brother, do you know how many suitors Yu Shuiyao has?!”

Du Gang was startled. He hadn’t thought about it too much, he had only blurted out a bit of nonsense on a whim.

Frowning, he asked, “What do you mean?”

Kong Xu swallowed, “Brother, you’re doomed. The number of suitors Yu Shuiyao has is simply too many. Many princes from large families are among her admirers...”

“Princes

Kong Xu explained gloatingly, “You probably don’t know how rare female nrnotitinnare ara

“Especially beautiful female practitioners who have high cultivation levels and high status, they’re incredibly rare...”

“Don’t you think me and Jiang Wenxing have feelings for Yu Shuiyao too?”

Du Gang stared, having assumed these playboys, experienced with numerous women, would not be interested in Yu Shuiyao.

Brother Kong laughed: “How could ordinary men compare to a fairy like Yu Shuiyao?”

He jovially continued, “We simply don’t dare to express our affection to Yu

Shuiyao...”

Seeing that Du Gang still didn’t quite understand, he explained: “Let me put it this way, a sector lord-ranked powerhouse, regardless of cultivation or background, on Penglai Island, would be considered a direct disciple...”

“And for the eternal-level powerhouses, it’s the same; regardless of their status or cultivation, as long as they’re within the standard age range, they would still be disciples!” “Disciples?!”

“Correct!”

Brother Kong nodded, “Eternal-level geniuses, provided they’re not over-aged, can become sequential disciples, and get treated with high regard...”

“These sequential disciples don’t just rank within the four big companies, but are ranked altogether according to the entire Penglai Island!”

“Often, the one with the highest internal rank in each family steps in as the Saint Son or Saintess and receives special cultivation!”

“In Penglai’s eighteen families, there are sixteen Saint Sons and two Saintesses, among whom two Saint Sons have publicly professed their love for

Yu Shuiyao!”

Du Gang looked at him, dumbfounded, “Are you saying I might have unwittingly offended two Eternal-level Saint Sons?!”

Brother Kong nodded, “Indeed, these Saint Sons, even among the eternal-level powerhouses, they are almost invincible...”

“Damn!”

Du Gang was startled and hastily said to the crowd which had not entirely dispersed: “Guys, I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously!”

But it was too late. The innate gossiping nature of mankind wouldn’t allow Du Gang to retract his statement. They selectively ignored his words.

Brother Kong shook his head, patting Du Gang’s shoulder, “Bro, you successfully offended the strongest of the previous generation...”

“I was just talking about the affection the Saint Sons had for Yu Shuiyao. There are also quite a few guys who didn’t reach the level of Saint Sons but have a high sequential rank, who have also expressed their love for Yu Shuiyao...”

Du Gang bulged his eyes, “Weren’t they from the previous generation, like old antiques from ten million years ago? How...how can they chase after Yu Shuiyao?”

“Smack! ”

At this point, Kong Luo slapped Du Gang on his head, looking at him sternly: “Who are you calling old antiques?! I’m still young!”

Only then did Du Gang realize, Kong Luo too belonged to the previous generation and was a true Eternal-level powerhouse!

He twitched the corner of his lips, “Uncle, what do you think of Yu Shuiyao?!”

Kong Luo livened up and commented: “Not bad, big chest, perky buttocks, and a pretty face. If those guys weren’t chasing her...cough, if she weren’t my type, I might have pursued her too!”

Listening to this, images of old cows eating tender grass flashed through Du Gang’s mind.

He stammered, “You mean...it’s normal to have cross-generation romance here?”

Kong Luo looked at him disdainfullv. “Aren’t we iust slightlv older than vou guys? Being older doesn’t mean we can’t get it up!”

Ignoring Du Gang’s speechlessness, he continued, “Never mind Yu Shuiyao’s just one generation apart. There are even guys chasing girls two generations apart...”

Du Gang was thoroughly dumbfounded.

If he’d known Yu Shuiyao was so sought after, he wouldn’t have bragged so casually.

Brother Kong continued to take pleasure in his misery: “Don’t worry, before you reach the Eternal Level, those Saint Sons won’t bother with you. But once you do, they will definitely come looking for you...”

Du Gang frowned, “Just because I bragged a bit, they’ll come after me?” “Of course, they plan to openly marry Yu Shuiyao!”

“You probably didn’t know, but on Penglai Island, although a strong man can have many women, he can only have one official wife...”

Du Gang was surprised, “You mean... they’ve never taken a wife all these years?”

“Most of them haven’t...”

Brother Kong laughed, “Of course, not having a wife doesn’t mean you can’t have women. You can get some concubines...”

“Like me, I now have eight concubines...”

Du Gang was silent for two seconds and then his expression turned grim.

“Damn it, these Saint Sons are too arrogant! Yu Shuiyao isn’t even their wife yet, and they’re already throwing their weight around!”

“Did I just brag a bit? And they want to cause trouble for me?!”

He was now determined, hearing that these Saint Sons couldn’t harm him before he reached the Eternal Level.

It’s only the Eternal Level, right?

When he reaches the Eternal Level, it’s still uncertain who will hammer whom!

With that in mind, he growled again, “They want to chase Yu Shuiyao? I’ll declare here, Yu Shuiyao I’ll take as my wife, let them dream!”

At this moment, not just Brother Kong, even Kong Luo was looking at Du Gang with shock.

“Amazing! ”

Kong Luo, at this moment, simply said: “Bro, you the man!”

He added, giving a thumbs up, “Bro, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but I didn’t have your courage. You did what I wanted to but didn’t dare to do!”

“Bro, well done, those Saint Sons... I’ve long been displeased with them. You did a great job. Let me help you broadcast the video and let them hear your declaration of war!”

“Ah?!”

Du Gang was stunned, “Don’t, Uncle! Won’t this be too high-profile?”

Kong Luo flashed a row of white teeth, “Don’t worry, it’s not high-profile. I won’t take advantage either. In the future, if you can knock down those guys after Yu Shuiyao, I’ll call you ‘bro’!”

“Cough, cough!”

Du Gang quickly instructed in his heart, “Hurry... hurry... hurry... record this...”

Regardless of whether or not he would be successful, he decided to record it in case he did succeed!

Kong Luo, looking pleased, detached a part of his consciousness, rapidly logged into Penglai Island’s intranet, and uploaded Du Gang’s heroic vow to it.

Seeing the younger generation challenge the Saint Sons was extremely entertaining for him!

“Du Gang, I look forward to your success...”

“Geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, hungry geese, geese, geese...”

Thinking of the two Saint Sons raging after seeing this video on the Penglai Island intranet, Kong Luo burst out in laughter that sounded like honking geese..
