The second thousand two hundred and eighty-four chapters
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the young monk opened his eyes and saw Zhang Peng. He quickly got off the bed and saluted, "Senior Zhang, why are you here?"
"Let me see you."
Zhang Peng calmly closed the door and said with a smile: "How's it going, Xiao Zuo, are there any bottlenecks in your practice recently?"
Hearing this, the young monk was filled with gratitude: "No, my practice has been very smooth recently, and my speed has more than doubled. This is all thanks to the skills and elixirs given by Empress Zhang, otherwise I would not have made such progress."
Zhang Peng smiled and said: "That's good. In fact, the skills and elixirs don't matter. The main thing is that you are extremely talented. With a little guidance, you will naturally make rapid progress."
The young monk heard this and said sheepishly: "Senior Zhang is so ridiculous. In fact, this junior's qualifications are very ordinary."
Zhang Peng said: "You don't have to be humble, just stretch out your hand and I will feel your pulse, see how your cultivation is going, and then optimize it for you."
The young monk was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Senior Zhang."
He said, extending his arm to Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng grabbed his wrist, sneered in his heart, and was about to use his strength to directly shatter the young monk's heart veins and golden elixir.
Suddenly, he felt pain in at least hundreds of places all over his body, including his soul, at the same time, as if he had been bitten hard by something.
Zhang Peng's vision suddenly turned black, he screamed, and fell to the sky.
The young monk was shocked and crouched down quickly: "Senior Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"He wanted to kill you, but I knocked him unconscious."
A calm voice answered behind him.
"who?"
The young monk was so surprised that he almost jumped up.
He turned around quickly and saw Chen Hao coming out of the shadow.
Before he could speak, Chen Hao said: "Your name is Zuo Guangming, a late-stage cultivator of Jindan. Your father's name is Zuo Yan, a late-stage cultivator of Lianxu. However, his lifespan is short and he will soon die. For your future, your father will take care of you."
You sought refuge with the Zhang family, relatives of the Dasheng royal family, and the Zhang family agreed, and took the initiative to give you precious resources to help you practice. They valued you very much. Even Zhang’s wife praised you for your intelligence and your good cultivation skills.
Work hard and the Zhang family will never treat you badly."
Zuo Guangming was shocked when he heard this.
"You are not from the Zhang family...who are you?
Why do you know this?
What is your purpose?"
He asked warily, while quietly retreating towards the door.
Although he is young, Zuo Guangming is not stupid. He knows that a monk who can plot against Zhang Peng is definitely not something that he, a golden elixir monk, can compete with. The only way to deal with the opponent, secretly calling for help, and attracting Zhang family masters is the right plan.
Chen Hao sneered: "You want to ask the Zhang family for help?
Do you know that your talent is ordinary, and the reason why the Zhang family attaches so much importance to you and gives you resources to practice, is the price your father Zuo Yan paid?"
Zuo Guangming was shocked when he heard this.
The so-called family members know their own affairs. Although Zuo Yan is a top expert in the late stage of Xu Lian, Zuo Guangming's cultivation talent was not inherited from his father, but was ordinary.
Therefore, even though Zuo Yan tried his best to accumulate resources and provide various guidance for his son, Zuo Guangming could only reach the golden elixir stage.
With such qualifications, he was actually praised by the Zhang family as being talented and must be cultivated. This shows that his father, Zuo Yan, paid a price when he took refuge.
Zuo Guangming had doubts, but no matter how he asked or made insinuations, Zuo Yan didn't say anything and just asked him to practice well.
What Chen Hao said now just touched the hidden worries in his heart.
However, Zuo Guangming did not ask back immediately, but instead sneered: "You want to sow discord between my father and son and the Zhang family?
Then you really made the wrong calculation."
Chen Hao's eyes flashed with surprise. Unexpectedly, Zuo Guangming was not shocked after hearing what he said. Instead, he was very calm and retorted sharply.
This kid has some courage.
Chen Hao didn't say anything. He took out a crystal ball and threw it towards Zuo Guangming: "You will understand after you take a look."
Zuo Guangming glanced at him suspiciously, hesitated slightly, felt there was no danger, and took the crystal ball.
Immediately, the crystal ball glowed with white light, revealing a picture.
The scene was exactly the scene where Concubine Zhang and others were talking in the hall just now, until Concubine Zhang finally asked Zhang Peng to silence Zuo Guangming.
Zuo Guangming's face became uglier and uglier, and by the end, his face was ashen.
He didn't know that Chen Hao had the innate ability to manifest memories, so the crystal ball images were naturally real.
Of course, although Chen Hao embodied the memory image, he did not fake it and it was not considered cheating.
"My father is dead, right?"
Zuo Guangming returned the crystal ball to Chen Hao: "You should be the master of protecting the Eighty-Sixth Princess by his side."
Chen Hao said: "You are very smart.
That's right, your father paid the price of his life to obtain the Zhang family's preferential treatment for you, and then he came to assassinate the Eighty-sixth Princess, but he failed, and was finally killed by me."
He told the truth calmly and was not afraid of Zuo Guangming's anger and revenge for his father.
Chen Hao and Zuo Guangming have no friendship at all, and there is no need to rescue each other. If Zuo Guangming wants to avenge his father, it means that this kid is not smart. If he is not killed, he will be killed by the Zhang family. It is better to send him underground to live with Zuo Yan and his son.
Reunion.
However, Zuo Guangming didn't have any expression of resentment. When he heard about Zuo Yan's death, the muscles on his face twitched and he gritted his teeth and said: "Senior, please don't misunderstand me. Although I killed my father, you did it for me."
Those who kill to protect the Eighty-sixth Princess are their own masters, so you are not my father-killing enemy. The Zhang family who instigated my father to kill the Eighty-sixth Princess are my real enemies, so I will never take action against you.
, let alone hate you for this.”
He was worried that Chen Hao would kill him because he wanted revenge, so he quickly made it clear that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Hao.
Chen Hao nodded and said: "It's okay, but as long as you don't offend, I won't kill you. If I wanted to eradicate the problem, I wouldn't say these words to you at all."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Zuo Guangming said hurriedly: "Senior succeeded in counterattack, sneaked here, and saved junior's life at a critical moment. He must have taken action to fight back against the Zhang family. I need junior's help. Senior, please feel free to give me orders. As long as you can take revenge on the Zhang family,
Even if I die, I won’t hesitate.”
Having said this, his face showed a bit of sternness.
Chen Hao nodded: "It's refreshing to talk to smart people. I want you to do me a small favor, but I won't let you die. After the job is done, I will help you escape from the palace."
Zuo Guangming said: "Thank you, senior. Please give me your instructions."
Chen Hao stretched out his hand and said: "The first thing is to kill Zhang Peng to prove that what you said is true. Kill him and everything on him will be yours."
Zuo Guangming also knew that he could not win Chen Hao's trust with just a few words, so without saying anything, he used the flying sword, his magic weapon, and with one stroke of the sword, he neatly chopped off Zhang Peng's head.
With this sword, although he did not use his magical power, he used his life's magic power. Not only did he cut off Zhang Peng's physical body, but he also chopped off the head of his soul.
Zhang Pengdeng was instantly destroyed physically and mentally, and was completely killed.
