"Don't believe it? Well, I'll take you to your mother now." Zhang Yun suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
Zhang Chen's eyes were dazzled when he unexpectedly appeared at the door of that house again.
"Where is this?" Zhang Chen said in surprise.
"Your mother is inside, come in with me." Zhang Yun showed a ferocious smile on his face and pushed open the door.
Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment, then stepped in to follow.
This house is exactly the same as before.
However, at this moment, Zhang Chen's eyes were fixed on a woman.
"mom!"
Zhang Chen shouted, rushed over, threw himself into the woman's arms, and burst into tears.
"Son, mom is sorry for you."
Zhang Chen's mother's face was full of tears, she stroked Zhang Chen's hair and spoke softly.
"I know that you must hate me for being an unfit mother. I abandoned you at first, but your grandparents forced me. You also know that your grandparents are very powerful."
"Moreover, your grandfather told me before he died that he asked me to take good care of you. You are very talented and will definitely become a grandmaster in the future. I also hope that you can revitalize the Zhang family..."
Zhang Chen's mother babbled, and at the end she burst into tears.
"Mom! Stop talking, stop talking, wuwu..." Zhang Chen hugged his mother tightly, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
Zhang Chen didn't expect that his father was actually killed by his grandfather. He hated it!
"well."
Zhang Chen sighed and slowly let go of his mother.
"Mom, what is going on? Why are you here? Where is my grandfather?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Your grandfather." Before Zhang Chen's mother could finish speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she passed out.
"Mom!" Zhang Chen was startled and quickly shook his mother's body, but there was no response.
"Oops!"
Zhang Chen's expression changed, because the environment here was so familiar that Zhang Chen recognized at a glance that this was his home.
But why did the mother faint?
Zhang Chen hurriedly helped his mother up and walked to the bed, ready to check.
But at this moment, a voice came from Zhang Chen's mind: "Xiao Chen, you must escape now, otherwise you will encounter bad luck."
"Um?"
Zhang Chen frowned, this voice was clearly his grandfather.
"Xiaochen, you leave here first. You have to rely on yourself for the rest of your life."
Grandpa's voice fell, and immediately after, Zhang Chen felt his eyes go dark. When he woke up again, he was still lying on the branch.
Next to him is the dagger.
"I"
Only then did Zhang Chen realize that he was dreaming.
"Is this really a dream?" Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
However, Zhang Chen caught a glimpse of the dagger on the ground out of the corner of his eye. The dagger emitted a faint light, indicating that it was not an extraordinary object.
Zhang Chen picked up the dagger and immediately felt a biting chill. This dagger was definitely a sword that could cut iron as well as clay.
"What to do with this dagger? Throw it away?"
Zhang Chen struggled for a while and finally decided to put away the dagger.
Although he was in a dream just now, he felt that the dagger was extremely dangerous and he did not want to get into trouble.
After putting the dagger in his pocket, Zhang Chen continued to observe his surroundings.
However, Zhang Chen noticed that there were three stone tablets beside him. Each stone tablet was engraved with simple characters. Zhang Chen had never seen these characters before, but he could guess that what these characters recorded,
Most of them are exercises or secret techniques.
However, the place is already empty.
"It seems I've thought too much." Zhang Chen smiled bitterly.
However, just when Zhang Chen was about to leave, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw a hidden cave five meters away from him.
"Is this the tomb?" Zhang Chen's heart was filled with shock.
What exactly is Zhang Chen's father buried here?
Zhang Chen did not hesitate and walked directly towards the cave. As he continued to go deeper, Zhang Chen discovered that the cave seemed to be a passage.
After walking about a few hundred meters, Zhang Chen stopped where he was.
Because in front of him, he actually saw a withered skeleton.
"Who?" Zhang Chen shouted vigilantly.
"Haha, I didn't expect anyone to survive here." A cold voice sounded.
Zhang Chen looked up and saw a figure appearing in front of him.
This man's back was stooped, and his whole body was shrouded in a black robe. His appearance could not be seen, but Zhang Chen could feel that this man exuded a terrifying aura.
"Who is your Excellency?" Zhang Chen stared at the man in black robe.
"I am the Ghost King!" the man in black robe said coldly.
"You are the Ghost King!" Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Regarding the deeds of the Ghost King, Zhang Chen heard his father mention that he was a cruel and ruthless character.
"Haha, little guy, I didn't expect you to know about me." The man in black robe snorted coldly.
"Who are you!" Zhang Chen felt a strong sense of threat in his heart.
The strength of this man in black robe is unfathomable, at least he will not lose to Zhang Chen's grandfather.
"My name is Ghost King. No one knows my name except your father. As for why I appear here, you should be able to guess." Ghost King said calmly.
"Did you dig my father's grave?" Zhang Chen asked with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.
"Yes, I am here today just for him." The Ghost King nodded.
"Bastard!" Zhang Chen clenched his fists and roared angrily.
Zhang Chen's father is a top expert in the Chinese martial arts world. At a young age, he has already entered the ranks of Huajin. He even founded the Dragon Soul Organization, which is respectable. Unexpectedly, someone would dare to attack him.
Zhang Chen's chest was heaving violently, and he now wanted to cut the ghost king in front of him into pieces with a thousand knives, crushing his bones and scattering ashes.
"Boy, if you want to save your mother, just do as I say." The Ghost King's voice was extremely cold, as if it could penetrate people's souls.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Chen resisted the urge to beat up the Ghost King and said in a deep voice.
"It's very simple, take out the Gu worms from her body." The Ghost King said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Gu worm?" Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Zhang Chen knew that his mother had been poisoned by witchcraft, but there was no one in this world who knew how to poison him?
Poison is a witchcraft. It is said that people who practice poison often lose their minds, and some even become monsters.
"The ancestral motto of your Zhang family village is to protect the villagers and the village. Unfortunately, over the years, your Zhang family has become more and more degenerate. You are basically a bunch of trash. Since you can't protect the villagers, how can you protect the village." The Ghost King said sarcastically.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Zhang Chen said angrily.
"Haha, do I need to explain to you?" The Ghost King sneered.
"you"
Zhang Chen's face was as gloomy as water, but there was nothing he could do against the Ghost King.
"What do you want?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Take me to Zhang Chen, and I will naturally help your mother and treat her injuries." The Ghost King said.
"Okay." Zhang Chen thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Chen knew that he and his father would never be able to resist the Ghost King. Instead of doing this, it would be better to temporarily agree to it and seek opportunities to escape.
"Boy, you are very smart. I hope you don't lie to me, otherwise I won't mind killing you to avenge Zhang Chen." The Ghost King's tone was full of murderous intent.
"snort!"
Zhang Chen snorted coldly, then turned around and walked out of the valley.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?" the Ghost King suddenly shouted.
"Go to the outside world." Zhang Chen replied.
"Oh? Is that girl here too?" the Ghost King asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Zhang Chen nodded.
"Haha, let them come in then." After the Ghost King finished speaking, he went directly into the cave. After a while, there was a gloomy feeling in the cave.
"I'm leaving first." After Zhang Chen said this, he quickly ran towards the forest.
Zhang Chen knew very well that the Ghost King's strength was unfathomable and he was full of tricks. He must leave this place as soon as possible.
After Zhang Chen left, a young man in white slowly appeared.
"Master, why did you let them in? Their blood is precious." The young man asked doubtfully.
"I want to use them to seduce the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Only when those people enter this place can I have the chance to seize them." The Ghost King said coldly.
The young man from the "Tianmo Sect" showed a look of fear.
"Haha, what are you afraid of? Their strength is not enough to kill me. Besides, if they want to kill me, they have to pay the price." The Ghost King said with a faint smile.
"Master, are you sure they will come here?" the young man asked suspiciously.
"I have a hunch that they will come, and they will come in a big way." The Ghost King sneered.
"Why?" the young man asked.
"Because the corpse poison on Zhang Chen was left behind intentionally. They wanted to use the corpse poison to control Zhang Chen, and what I have to do is to destroy their plan and cause them heavy losses."
"My master is wise," the young man said flatteringly.
"Haha, tell me, if I infect Zhang Chen with corpse poison, what would their expressions be like?" the Ghost King laughed.
"My master is wise." The young man complimented again.
"Haha, I have been thinking about this plan for a long time, and it will finally succeed. However, I still lack a physical body." The Ghost King sighed, with endless desire in his eyes, and finally disappeared deep into the mountains.
Half an hour later, Zhang Chen ran out of the forest. Panting heavily, he took out his cell phone and dialed Zhang Chen's father's phone number.
However, to Zhang Chen's disappointment, no one answered the phone.
"Dad, Mom" Zhang Chen murmured to himself, his eyes full of grief.
"Zhang Chen, what happened?" Susan asked anxiously.
"I" Zhang Chen whispered.
"What happened?"
"Mom was captured by the Ghost King, and dad went to chase him."
"What!" Susan's face changed drastically when she heard this.
"Let's go!" Zhang Chen hurriedly picked up Susan and quickly left the mountain village.
Zhang Chen took Susan and ran wildly. Along the way, they encountered many dangers, but Zhang Chen avoided them all.
"Zhang Chen, why didn't you tell the villagers that it was your father who killed them?" Susan asked.
"I don't want to implicate them." Zhang Chen whispered.
"However, this matter cannot be kept secret for long. Sooner or later it will be made public." Susan said worriedly.
"I don't care. In short, no one is allowed to talk about this matter." Zhang Chen said firmly.
Seeing Zhang Chen's resolute attitude, Susan had no choice but to continue to follow Zhang Chen.
Half an hour later, Zhang Chen and Susan finally left the mountainous area, and Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh!" Zhang Chen exhaled a breath and sat on the ground to rest.
"Zhang Chen, what happened just now? Although your father's strength is not as good as yours, he is also a master at the peak of Anjin. How could this happen?" Susan said in confusion.
"Hey!" Zhang Chen let out a long sigh and told the whole story.
After Susan heard this, Xiumei frowned slightly: "It turns out that's the case. No wonder they disappeared suddenly. It turns out that they were all killed by the Ghost King."
"King of Ghosts, this old guy is really despicable and shameless. Not only did he sneak attack us, but he also used us to deal with his own family." Zhang Chen cursed angrily.
"Alas! This may be fate. He has lived for hundreds of years and thinks he controls everything, but he doesn't know that he is just a chess piece." Susan sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"You said he is a chess piece?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
"Well, his existence is not accidental. I have investigated him. His true identity is a disciple of the Tianmo Sect. The Tianmo Sect is one of the three major martial arts holy places in China. The martial arts practiced by the Ghost King is called Jiuyouming.
Fire is one of the secret codes of the Heavenly Demon Sect and is extremely powerful. However, the Ghost King has been hiding his identity. I am afraid that he has already surrendered to the Heavenly Demon Sect." Susan said in a deep voice.
"Tianmo Sect?" Zhang Chen was shocked.
"Well, the Heavenly Demon Sect is one of the three major martial arts holy places in China. Its strength far exceeds that of the world. There is even a peerless strongman in the Grandmaster realm. The strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect is so huge that even the dragon group and the army can't help it.
He couldn't help them, and the reason why the Ghost King was able to avoid being hunted by the Dragon Group was because of the blessing of the Demon Sect." Susan said.
"Could it be that the Ghost King betrayed the country?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Yes, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Dragon Group cooperate and share mutual benefits. The Ghost King's joining the Heavenly Demon Sect is subject to certain restrictions." Susan nodded and said.
"Then why did they arrest my mother?" Zhang Chen frowned.
"Perhaps they want to control your father through your mother, or they want the Zhang family to be exterminated." Susan said after being silent for a few seconds.
"No, I want to save my mother." Zhang Chen said.
"No, Zhang Chen, you have to listen to your sister's advice and don't be reckless. The people from the Demon Sect should have noticed it by now. If they come to our door, we will definitely not be able to escape." Susan said solemnly.
"So what? They dare to hurt my mother, and I will try my best to save her." Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"But..." Susan hesitated.
"Okay, stop talking. I have made up my mind. No matter what the outcome is, I will never abandon my mother." Zhang Chen said firmly.
Hearing this, Susan sighed and stopped stopping Zhang Chen.
"Zhang Chen, thank you for today's kindness. I, Susan, will remember it. If you need my help in the future, please tell me. No matter what, I will do my best." Susan said.
