Since Mr. Bao said those words that day, he has never been here again. Chen Zhi's body has already recovered and he no longer continues to receive treatment. However, he did not go home or call his father. He continued to stay.
Live in a nursing home and start making some preparations.
During this period, he made several phone calls to Mu He, asking for his help in investigating some past events and asking him for some confidential information within the country.
Chen Zhi told Mu Hyuk that when investigating these matters, they must be conducted in secret and no flaws should be revealed. It is best for Mu Hyuk to personally conduct the investigation of all important links and not allow outsiders to intervene to prevent the news from leaking out.
Mu Hyuk readily agreed. Mu Hyuk is such a person. He never expresses his opinions and attitudes clearly, but always refuses Chen Zhi's requests. Moreover, his abilities are very wide and can be involved in almost all fields.
Yes, as Mu Hyuk once said, he is definitely not Chen Zhi's enemy.
Chen Zhi is still living in a nursing home during this period. It is very quiet and secluded, and it is within the Bao family's sphere of influence. It is very safe and suitable for calming down, thinking about things and making plans.
The Bao family quickly sent several people. They stayed with Chen Zhi personally, handled various things according to Chen Zhi's requirements, investigated some situations in the early years, and worked with Ghost Sword to protect Chen Zhi's safety.
.
Sure enough, as Mr. Bao said, during this period, the organization summoned Chen Zhi back to discuss the leadership succession matter, and his attitude was very serious. It seemed that Chen Zhi had important decision-making power on this matter.
But after Chen Zhi returned to the organization this time, he already felt something different. Everyone looked at Chen Zhi with great respect and admiration.
Whether it was Lang Tu who came to greet him or all the warriors he saw in the organization, they all treated Chen Zhi with great respect.
The 12 warriors who went to the underworld with Chen Zhi this time, except for one who died accidentally, all returned safely. However, 6 warriors were mentally damaged and are still receiving treatment.
After the other five warriors came back, they gained a very high reputation within the organization because of their achievements in the underworld. The world of warriors is like this. Everything is measured by their military exploits. The future and glory of warriors come from their past.
The merits of the establishment.
Some young new warriors also took the initiative to come over and greet Chen Zhi, expressing their willingness to follow Chen Zhi on the next mission, hoping that they could also make meritorious deeds and gain status and honors in the organization.
Chen Zhi clearly felt that the way these young warriors looked at him was like the way they looked at their leaders in the past. Chen Zhi knew that his current status was different from before. He turned the tide in the most critical moment.
He saved everyone from the catastrophe of the apocalypse and established immortal merits. He is the real leader of the Jiang family.
But what is different this time is that Chen Zhi did not go around in circles after entering the Xiqi King's City, but was taken directly to the leader's court. The court was still filled with smoke, but the huge jade throne was empty, and there was nothing on it.
The old man with a loud voice looked at the empty throne, and Chen Zhi felt a little sad in his heart.
No matter what happened in the past and what the purpose of the leader's actions was, Chen Zhi actually felt a little nostalgic for the leader. After all, this old and heroic leader was really admirable.
Ji Yang was not in the royal court either. Chen Zhi had not seen him since he entered the organization. The old lamp boy took Chen Zhi to the room behind the royal court. After walking through several secret passages, he entered a completely isolated area.
In the space of Xiqi King City, there is nothing but ruins, but there is a stone staircase suspended in the air, leading straight up.
The stone staircase is entirely made of black stones. There are many cracks on it and there are breaks in some places. It can be seen that it is quite old. There is a suspended pavilion directly above the stone staircase.
.
The architectural style of the pavilion is very similar to that of Xiqi Imperial City. It is simple and solemn, with no trace of gorgeous decoration, just black stone bricks.
The architectural style of the Zhou Ji family is completely different from the extravagance and luxury of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The Zhou Ji family never built a palace as luxurious as Lutai. They only cared about war and practicality. The entire Xiqi Royal City was like a war fortress, dark and
Depressing, everything is simple and practical, and there is no concept of art and beauty at all.
The pavilion suspended in the air looks like a military bunker. It is airtight all around. It is made entirely of black stone bricks, and there are not even windows around it.
But Chen Zhi could feel a powerful aura pressing down from that pavilion. That aura was mixed, going from top to bottom. He knew that the people living there must be extraordinary, just like
It's the same aura that Chen Zhi once felt from the leader. When a person's cultivation reaches a certain level, he can already be close to the gods.
After the old lamp boy reached this point, he did not dare to go any further. He knelt at the bottom of the stairs and held the lamp for Chen Zhi, signaling Chen Zhi to continue walking up.
Chen Zhi glanced up, and then stepped onto the long stone steps. The black stone steps were very strong. When Chen Zhi stepped on them, he immediately felt the ancient and powerful power.
And this power spread throughout his body instantly.
Chen Zhi felt at that time that the energy of all the warriors of the Ji family since ancient times, as well as their strong will, were all integrated in this hall, on this black stone staircase, leading directly to the suspended pavilion above.
middle.
Chen Zhi walked up step by step. The further up he went, the stronger the feeling became. After walking for nearly 100 meters, he finally saw the main entrance of the suspended pavilion at the top of the stairs.
At the main entrance, there was an elderly lady standing.
This old lady is very old, but very energetic. Her face is covered with age spots, her body is a little stooped, and she looks a little short. Judging from the deep wrinkles on her face, she seems to be more than 100 years old.
Now, even older.
However, her old body was still wearing stainless steel armor, and her arms were neatly tied with black wristbands, but she did not hold a weapon in her hands.
The old lady looked very proud, as if everything in the world was not in her eyes. When she saw Chen Zhi coming up, she first looked at Chen Zhi from top to bottom, and then coughed lightly.
"cough!",
Her voice is really loud, like the collision of gold and stone. Even young people in their twenties do not have such momentum as hers.
"You are the child born to the Jiang family's daughter, Chen Zhi, right?"
