Chapter 603 Chen Zhi is in danger and evil guests come to the door
As winter turns to spring, the ice and snow melt, and the earth gradually becomes covered with greenery.
The Chen family's ancestral hall is located in the core area of the inner city, and a grand nine-story palace building stands nearby.
The furnishings on each floor of the palace are almost identical, with rows of dark oil lamps enshrined in the interior arrangements.
The lights are like beans, densely packed like stars, looking quiet and mysterious.
This palace building is an important place in the Chen family called the Soul Tower. Every member of the Chen family will put their own soul lantern in this building, and have their own dedicated personnel patrolling and looking after it day and night.
On this day, an old man holding a lantern slowly climbed up the stairs and walked into the fifth floor of the soul building. He walked slowly along the familiar route and inspected every soul lantern here.
When the old lampkeeper walked to the middle of the third row of altar tables, the soul fire of one of the oil lamps suddenly flickered violently, and then the soul fire shrank sharply. In the blink of an eye, there was only a little spark left, and it was so dim that it almost went out.
The old man keeping the lantern felt his heart sink when he saw this. He hurriedly raised the lantern and used the light to see clearly the name under the soul lantern.
"No, something big is going to happen!"
At one glance, the old man keeping the lantern was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He quickly threw away the lantern, turned around and ran downstairs. He was so fast that he didn't show any sign of his age.
…
In a stone cultivation room in the inner palace of Qianlong Pavilion, countless air vortices stirred back and forth, emitting thunderous roars.
At this time, Zhao Sheng was floating cross-legged in the air, and a thunder giant several feet tall clearly appeared behind him.
The Thunder Giant is practicing some kind of profound martial arts, and every move is completely natural and mysterious.
The originally formless martial arts will can now change at will between reality and reality, and every strike hides an unstoppable edge of will.
Suddenly, a ray of spiritual light penetrated the barrier of the stone wall and instantly entered Zhao Sheng's eyebrows. Suddenly, there was a little more information in his mind.
"What? Something happened to Zhi'er!"
After reading the message, Zhao Sheng's face changed wildly, his figure flashed, and he suddenly disappeared from the training room.
When he appeared again in the next moment, he had already reached the fifth floor of the Soul Tower.
Three lampkeepers in white robes are waiting on the fifth floor.
When they first saw Zhao Sheng appearing out of thin air, they were shocked.
Zhao Sheng ignored the presence of outsiders and stepped in front of his daughter's soul lamp. He saw that although the soul fire on the oil lamp was extremely dim, it was never completely extinguished.
What surprised him even more was that the soul fire showed faint signs of growth.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng felt a little relieved and quickly reached out to take off the soul lamp. He turned around and told the three of them: "You guys have done a good job. If Zhi'er is safe and sound afterwards, I will reward you generously."
After saying this, before the three of them could make any move, Zhao Sheng suddenly transformed into a thunderbolt, flew out of the building in an instant, and then rushed into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
"I remember that the mountain gate of Xingxiu Palace is about 300,000 miles away from the southwest. Zhi'er, please be sure nothing happens! Dad will be here soon."
Above the sea of clouds, Zhao Sheng turned his head to look southwest with a murderous look on his face, muttered something to himself, and moved away instantly.
…
The mountain gate of Xingxiu Palace covers an area of thousands of miles. There are many mountains and spiritual places inside the gate, but there is only one unique peak among thousands of mountains, towering into the clouds.
White clouds were floating in the sky above Xingxiu Peak, when a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air deep in the sea of clouds.
Through the clouds, Zhao Sheng looked down at the giant peak below with fierce eyes. He took out a soul lamp from his sleeve, stretched out his right hand, forced out a drop of his heart's blood from his fingertips, and dropped it into the lamp.
In an instant, the soul fire surged, and then its brightness increased greatly.
Zhao Sheng released a ray of spiritual thought that merged into the soul fire, and with the help of the invisible connection between blood, he sensed the location of his daughter.
"Huh? It's not at Xingxiu Peak, but two thousand miles away?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Zhao Sheng's face, and he quickly put the soul lamp into his sleeve, flashed, and moved away again.
Two thousand miles away, a huge cave was opened deep in a certain mountain.
In a stone room at the deepest part of the cave, a tattered corpse lay on the ground. The corpse's face was filled with shock, and its wide-open eyes were full of disbelief and infinite regret.
Chen Mingzhi was leaning against a stone wall, breathing heavily with a look of lingering fear on her face.
At this time, her body was covered in blood, and there was a huge bone-deep wound on each neck and waist. The two wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She almost died just now, almost due to Luo Xingcheng's desperate counterattack.
Fortunately, when her life was on the line, the three life beads that her father had inserted into her body suddenly burst out with a huge amount of vitality, and then the body that had been chopped into three pieces was forcibly brought together, and the injuries quickly recovered and healed.
A month ago, Chen Zhi accidentally obtained a map of Jindan Zhenren's palace by chance.
After nearly a month of preparation, she secretly found the exact location of the cave and successfully entered the interior of the cave after successfully breaking through the defensive restrictions of the cave.
What she never expected was that Luo Xing would be the trap set by her predecessor in the palace. The purpose was to catch her.
Unfortunately, no matter how thorough Luo Xingcheng's vision was, he never expected that Chen Zhi would have many life-saving trump cards, each of which could easily kill any Foundation Establishment monk, and some of them could even kill Jindan Daoist.
Although Luo Xingcheng also had many life-saving items hidden in his body, they were ultimately no match for Chen Zhi's "wealth and wealth". In the end, he fell short of success and died in this nameless cave with great regret.
Suddenly, a figure strode out of the void and landed in the center of the stone room.
Zhao Sheng glanced around, his eyes paused on the corpse, and in a blink of an eye he guessed the whole story.
When Chen Zhi saw the visitor, she was extremely excited and shouted in surprise: "Father!"
"Good daughter, just hope you're okay." Zhao Sheng stepped in front of his daughter and greeted her with concern.
After seeing with his own eyes that his daughter was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart was filled with anger, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Chen Mingzhi stood up from the ground and said with joy and surprise: "Dad, you...how did you come so fast? Just now..."
"That is the natal magical power that my father has just cultivated. This secret must not be known to outsiders, otherwise it will bring great disaster to the family. Zhi'er, just know it, and don't tell anyone, not even your mother.
.Remember?”
"Daughter, I remember! I swear I will never tell anyone." Upon seeing this, Chen Mingzhi immediately swore extremely solemnly.
Zhao Sheng nodded and then asked what happened.
Chen Mingzhi then explained the cause and effect in detail.
When he learned that Luo Xingcheng had been plotting against his daughter for a long time, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel secretly angry and wished he could cut her into pieces.
Then after learning that this person was from the Luo family, an ancient clan, Zhao Sheng snorted coldly: "Humph, this thief turns out to be the Luo family. As expected, they are all the same, and there is no good person in the family."
"Dad, Luo Xingcheng has been pestering me for many years in the name of love. But I guess his purpose is not simple. After thinking about it, the problem probably lies in the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique". Luo Xingcheng is a fire element
Tianlinggen, this person most likely wants to get the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique" from me." Chen Zhi quickly regained his composure from the joy and immediately analyzed with a serious expression.
oh?
Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he suddenly pointed out a ball of lightning.
The lightning fell on the corpse and immediately turned it into a ball of ashes, which then disappeared into ashes.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time. Zhi'er, you go out first. I will come back later."
After hearing his father's instructions, Chen Zhi obediently exited the stone room and quickly left the cave.
A few breaths later, loud noises suddenly came from the belly of this nameless mountain, and then the entire mountain collapsed violently. For a while, smoke, dust, earth and rocks flew all over the sky, and a hundred miles around was quickly enveloped in smoke and dust.
Chen Zhi looked at the collapsing mountains, a shocked expression gradually appeared on his face.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng appeared next to her out of thin air and said calmly: "Everything is done! Zhi'er, you come with me home first. Your mother misses you, please stay here for a few more years after you go back!"
After saying that, Zhao Sheng waved his long sleeves and saw a ray of white light flying into the air, rising against the storm, and in the blink of an eye it appeared into a silvery-white saucer boat.
Chen Zhi did not disobey her old father's wishes and obediently followed Zhao Sheng into the disc boat.
Later, the silver-white disc boat suddenly rushed into the sea of clouds and sped toward the northeast at lightning speed.
…
Two days later, the silver-white disc boat broke through the sea of clouds and landed on the square in front of Qianlong Pavilion.
Zhao Sheng took his daughter off the disc boat and entered the mansion.
The eldest lady Chen Ying soon learned that her daughter had returned safely. She rushed over after hearing the news and hugged Chen Zhi tightly. She cried with joy on the spot.
Soon, the second wife Chen Qi, the third wife Chen Shuang and other wives and concubines also arrived one after another, followed by Chen Mingren, Chen Mingyi and Chen Mingqian.
Regarding Chen Zhi's narrow escape from death, Zhao Sheng did not tell his wife, concubines and son the truth, but just made up a random story to fool him.
He thought the matter would be over, but he didn't want trouble to come soon.
More than a month later, a big red greeting card was delivered to the house and quickly delivered to Zhao Sheng.
In the study, he opened the greeting card and looked at it, his eyes could not help but squint slightly.
He casually threw the invitation to the butler aside and said calmly: "Chen Fu, go and invite the people in! I will be there soon, sir."
"Yes, sir!" Chen Fu bowed slightly and quickly exited the room.
"Haha, you're here with bad intentions!" Zhao Sheng smiled coldly, stood up and walked out of the study.
A moment later, in the magnificent hall, a tall and thin old man sat firmly on a big chair.
This man has a childlike face and fair hair, an aquiline nose, and deep-set eyes, flashing with a sharp color from time to time. He looks very indifferent.
A middle-aged man sat under the old man Yinjiu. This man had an imposing manner, and behind him there was a vague vision of Jinshan and sea of fire. He was actually a real Jindan.
"Shuangquan, are you sure that little girl is still alive?" The old man Yinjiu suddenly sent a message.
"Great Ancestor, it's absolutely true! For this reason, I did not hesitate to activate the deepest hidden thread. The hidden thread has already been found out clearly. Chen Zhi returned here a month ago. However, Cheng'er's soul lamp also suddenly went out in those few days.
.That "The Art of Burning the Sky" belongs to Chen Zhi. Cheng'er has been planning for it for many years, but the result is..."
"Shut up, don't mention the martial arts! Remember, the purpose of our coming today." The old man Yinjiu glared at Luo Shuangquan fiercely and warned him again and again through his voice.
"We, the Luo family, have always treated you with courtesy. After explaining your intention, the Chen family must give a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, we will not give our Luo family face." Luo Shuangquan subconsciously shut up, but still arrogantly sent a message to everyone.
Zu, his tone was very arrogant.
The old man Yinjiu snorted and said no more.
At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside.
Dong Dong~
As the footsteps continued to approach, a majestic and tyrannical pressure like a sea poured into the hall from the door, oppressing the two golden elixirs of the Luo family and their expressions faintly changed.
The expression of the old man Yinjiu became solemn and he looked out the door.
The figure faded, and Zhao Gaosheng's tall and majestic body appeared at the door, almost blocking all the light, and instantly gave people the illusion that the whole sky was covered by this person.
The old man Yinjiu shrank his pupils and slowly stood up.
"Looking at your appearance, you must be Master Luo An! I wonder why you came to my house?" Zhao Sheng looked at the old man Yin Jiu and casually walked into the hall, saying as he walked.
"Bold, a mere member of the Chen family dares to call my great ancestor by his name!" Luo Shuangquan stood up and shouted loudly.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed coldly and he looked at the middle-aged man who spoke.
Luo Shuangquan's face changed drastically, and his face was red and bleeding. He sat back in the chair on the spot. He had a splitting headache and was speechless.
"Haha, Shuangquan is talking but not really, making Chen Xi laugh." The old man Yinjiu said with a smile, his body unknowingly blocking Luo Shuangshen.
Zhao Shenglong strode to the top and sat down, and said in a calm tone: "You and I have never met each other, and we have never had any friendship with each other. You two came to the door suddenly and aggressively. It seems that you are not a kind guest!"
"Haha, Mr. Chen Xi has misunderstood. It's indeed a bit presumptuous for me and my husband to come here today. However, people's lives are at stake, so I have to pay a visit. Shuangquan doesn't get up to apologize!" The old man Yinjiu first smiled faintly, and then his face darkened.
shouted to Luo Shuangquan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Zhenren Chen, it was Luo who was offensive just now, please don't take offense." Luo Shuangquan stood up and said with an expressionless expression.
Zhao Sheng frowned, but he couldn't continue to pursue it, otherwise he would seem too petty.
"Since you have admitted your mistake, let this matter go." Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said.
Luo Shuangquan stiffened when he heard this and slowly sat back on his seat.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, why did you come here today? Tell me what you have to say. Mr. Chen has a furnace of elixirs to refine, and the time is limited."
"Haha, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask Taoist friend Chen Zhi about something. Could you please ask her to come out and see her." The old man Yinjiu chuckled.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he was quite surprised. He didn't expect Luo An to act so straightforwardly.
From this point of view, Luo Xingcheng did not act alone and had the Luo family's intentions behind it.
Based on this inference, we should not let our daughter come forward to avoid causing more trouble.
"What an unfortunate coincidence! Zhi'er ran away from home secretly a few days ago. I also really want to know where she went. If Master Luo knows her whereabouts, please inform me as soon as possible. Chen will definitely thank me generously."
Zhao Sheng shook his head and expressed regret.
When the old man Yinjiu heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
"I just want to ask about some things, I have no other intentions. Is it possible that fellow Daoist Chen is not willing to agree to this small request?" The old man Yinjiu looked at Zhao Sheng with a solemn expression, his expression was terrifyingly calm.
"I have already told you that Zhi'er is not at home now. You have come to the wrong place." Zhao Sheng said calmly without raising his eyelids.
The old man's face turned grave, his pupils shrank, and two dazzling silver lights suddenly lit up in his eyes, and he stabbed towards Zhao Sheng's door.
