Chapter 402 Summoning Heavenly Soldiers! A Tribulation is Needed

Zhong Zheng was truly stunned as he stared at the densely packed demonic shadows.

He was looking for the Chen family's secrets, but he couldn't do it in the Chen family's open scenic area. After all, if it was open, it meant there was nothing wrong with it.

We must go to these remote places, where the secrets are hidden.

But who could have imagined that he would witness such a shocking scene?

The demonic figures rushed towards them, and some even swung their axes, cutting down the surrounding plants.

Those bodies were clearly more substantial, unlike the harmless demonic shadows that had appeared on the Chen family's side before.

This can actually produce physical attacks.

At that moment, he saw a figure.

Isn't he just the head of the Chen family?

The other party was dressed in a purple robe and remained motionless while looking at the demonic figures. This scene was just like the mural of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain facing a group of demons alone, with his purple robe fluttering.

The crucial point is that the Chen family head still had the mind to hold his phone, seemingly recording the charging demonic figures.

That really shows the nonchalant and masterful demeanor of a seasoned expert.

He quickly pointed the camera around his neck at that spot to record.

This is evidence that the Chen family is truly sealing away demons.

Judging from the situation, the Chen family must have done this kind of thing quite often, otherwise the head of the Chen family wouldn't be so nonchalant.

After all, anyone would be terrified by the sight of a demonic shadow resembling a thousand troops.

He was secretly watching from here, and he subconsciously felt a chill for the head of the Chen family.

At that moment, he noticed that the head of the Chen family seemed to have a plaque in his hand.

Chen Han naturally produced the law.

To cast this decree, one only needs to wear the purple robe blessed by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable and directly activate the decree.

The puppet soldiers inside will emerge when activated.

However, wasn't he holding a phone recording a video?

Then it needs to have a sense of ritual.

So, holding the decree, he loudly proclaimed on the spot: "Heavenly Thunder, Dragon and Tiger clash, Sun and Moon illuminate, shine upon me clearly; friends far away, receive my command, summon Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Earthly Soldiers and Generals, Divine Soldiers and Generals, Official Soldiers and Generals, Five Thunder Gods and Generals, act upon the talisman, hasten as the law commands, Heavenly Soldiers come to my aid."

With the final words, "Heavenly soldiers, come to my aid!", Chen Han activated the decree.

The next moment, golden light began to shine on the decree.

Immediately afterwards, the 20 golden rays condensed, and the 20 puppet celestial soldiers began to materialize in front of him.

This series was completed in one go in the videos he recorded.

He was very satisfied.

This scene left Zhong Zheng, who was hiding in the shadows, completely stunned, his eyes wide open.

Heavenly soldiers and generals?

Can the Chen family head summon heavenly soldiers and generals to help him?

OMG!

The Chen family was indeed protected by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

Otherwise, how can this scene be explained?

While he was still in shock, he saw the golden-armored heavenly soldiers rushing towards the demonic shadows. They swung their spears so fast that they became shadows of spears themselves.

As the celestial soldiers clashed with the demonic shadows, the spears swept across, and the demonic shadows vanished instantly, followed by a second, a third...

Even when encountering those demonic shadows that could inflict substantial physical damage on the surrounding trees, the spear and giant axe collided, creating a burst of sparks, and the demonic shadow was instantly sent flying backward, violently scattering the demonic shadows behind it.

Then, he swung his spear and began attacking another demonic figure.

Zhong Zheng was completely stunned. The way these heavenly soldiers and generals slayed those demonic shadows was so cool, it was far more captivating than any special effects.

Under the attack of the heavenly soldiers summoned by the Chen family head, the demonic shadows that resembled a vast army were quickly reduced, like leeks being harvested.

Judging from the familiarity with the situation, they must have experienced this kind of situation many times.

Finally, as the demonic shadows diminished, Zhong Zheng quietly climbed down the tree. He planned to quickly organize the footage he had shot and then release the video before the Chen family head could, preventing him from claiming it was science or special effects.

That's the kind of thing the Chen family head would do.

There are precedents to learn from.

Just as he climbed down the tree, a golden-armored celestial soldier suddenly appeared in front of him.

This startled him.

They were heavenly soldiers summoned by the Chen family head.

at this time.

The other person was standing right in front of him.

The armor worn by that soldier was exceptionally realistic and textured, with the scale patterns on it displaying an indescribable level of craftsmanship that was very eye-catching.

Before he could react, the soldier had already taken his miniature filming equipment and disappeared from his sight.

When he realized what was happening, he looked towards the Chen family head, who had already taken his filming equipment and was operating it.

A moment later, the Chen family head looked at him and said, "Sir, this deep mountain forest is very dangerous. Don't run this way. Also, taking pictures without permission is not polite."

Chen Han hadn't expected that some idiot would actually wander into this remote mountain forest.

After deleting the video recorded on the device, he waved his hand, and the miniature filming device flew towards the other party.

Zhong Zheng instinctively caught it and checked the materials on the device; they had all been deleted.

This worried him; the evidence was gone.

However, he also took many photos of the departing figure of the Chen family head, unwilling to give up.

Even if there's no evidence left, you still have to film something.

……

Chen Han rushed out of the mountain and went straight back to the Chen family.

After returning to his yard, he started editing the video, but as soon as he finished editing, he found that many people were tagging him.

Clicking through, I found a video posted by an outdoor blogger named Xiao Zhong, showing his back as he left the forest.

"You might not believe it, but I witnessed the scene of the Chen family head sealing the demon in these deep mountains and forests. It was a demonic shadow like a thousand troops."

“Those demonic shadows are definitely not the kind of illusory shadows that Chen Shi appeared before, which would dissipate at the slightest touch. Those are real shadows that can cut down a tree with a single axe blow.”

"Moreover, Patriarch Chen also summoned heavenly soldiers to help. You heard me right, the kind of heavenly soldiers and generals."

"Those heavenly soldiers were too powerful. Although there weren't many of them, they charged into those demonic shadows and slaughtered them indiscriminately, leaving no one alive among the thousands of demonic troops."

"Of course, if you ask me for evidence, I definitely don't have any. I've been discovered, and the video has already been deleted by the Chen family head."

"However, Patriarch Chen will definitely release a video later, and he will use the excuse of special effects. Of course, if Patriarch Chen doesn't release it, then just consider me talking nonsense."

This sixth brother.

Chen Han immediately started complaining in his mind.

Traffic drives people crazy, and popularity drives them mad. When it comes to traffic and popularity, there are always more solutions than problems.

The key was to checkmate him directly.

The people tagging him now are all people who watched the video and came to ask him questions, which can be considered a way of verifying his claims.

But it doesn’t matter.

In short, they always present themselves as believing in science, and their videos are just special effects.

As for the rest, use your imagination. As long as you gain reputation and willpower, that's fine.

Oh, right, there's also the reward for good deeds done in secret, which helps you seal away demons and protect the peace of the world. You think so too, so would you like to offer some good deeds done in secret?
With that in mind, he began editing the video footage he had shot.

After editing the video, he first uploaded it to Douyin with a simple title: "Thanks to outdoor blogger Xiao Zhong for the inspiration, this is a truly stunning special effects video!"

After Xiao Zhong uploaded his video, it became very popular, and many people tagged Chen Han to ask for verification. So, his video naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Especially his title.

Xiao Zhong showed him that video, and that description seemed to have him completely stumped.

But with this title, it seems as if the video footage was provided by Xiao Zhong.

However, many tourists are not buying it. After all, Xiao Zhong's video has only been circulating for a short time, and Chen family head, you've already made such a video?

The time is too short; it's simply impossible.

Therefore, netizens simply didn't believe it when they saw it:
"I simply don't believe that such a video could be produced in such a short time."

"It seems that what Xiao Zhong said is absolutely true, and the Chen family head is still covering it up."

"The headline of the Chen family is definitely nonsense. You've forgotten that he's played this kind of trick before."

"..."

Clearly, after these incidents, many people no longer believe Chen Han's headline.

Huang Tao didn't believe it. As a loyal fan of the Chen family, he already knew too much about the Chen family and knew how stubborn the head of the Chen family was.

This is just the other party being stubborn again.

However, this video truly shocked him, whether it was the terrifying number of demonic shadows, the summoned heavenly soldiers, or the scene of the heavenly soldiers slaughtering everyone in their path.

Is this what the Chen family has truly been hiding?
Shocking, shocking, terrifying!
After posting the video on Douyin, Chen Han downloaded another short video platform, Kuaishou.

While Kuaishou may not be able to compare with Douyin in terms of daily active users right now, it certainly has a large number of loyal users.

Most users of Kuaishou are from northern China.

Many of them dislike the flashy and fancy sounds of kushou, preferring its down-to-earth style.

Therefore, most users don't use the "鈄音" (a type of phonetic device) and don't know about the Chen family.

Even though I've seen news about the Chen family online, I don't know much about them.

This difference is like how people in the north love the Spring Festival Gala, while people in the south, especially in Fujian province, no longer watch it.

and so.

Northerners say: This year's Spring Festival Gala was really good.

Southerners would say: "Does anyone even watch this?"

Now that reputation data is being used more and more frequently, Chen Han felt it was necessary to develop new channels.

Kuaishou is a great second battlefield.

After registering, Chen Han uploaded the previous video. He didn't have much popularity on Kuaishou, so he immediately spent money to buy some traffic.

Instantly, the video began to be recommended to users of Kuaishou.

There are generally two ways to cultivate an online celebrity account: either slowly nurture it or invest heavily in it. Investing heavily is naturally the fastest way, but it's not something most online celebrities can afford, since their goal is to make money, and investing a lot won't recoup their costs.

Chen Han didn't spend much money, but he should be able to get a starting amount of traffic on Kuaishou.

Zhang Hezheng is a true northerner. In this season, when it's already freezing cold, he doesn't like to go out. Plus, he's almost 40, so he prefers to lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) all day.

He just likes the down-to-earth nature of Kuaishou, and he likes watching down-to-earth videos from northern China on Kuaishou. He thinks those internet celebrities on Douyin are too fake and not down-to-earth at all.

While scrolling through videos today, he suddenly came across a video with special effects. The video started with a group of horned, axe-wielding demonic figures appearing, and more and more of them gathered together.

In the end, the number would probably be in the tens of thousands.

The special effects surprised him; they had a cinematic quality.

Is it an advertisement for a movie?

That's not right, because what follows is clearly a first-person perspective, which is not how movies are shot.

The person in the video took out a decree inscribed with runes and then began to chant: "Heavenly Thunder Lord... by the decree, heavenly soldiers come to my aid."

The rapid incantation and the heavenly soldiers coming to my aid made him feel it was all rather cliché.

But when those celestial soldiers, each radiating golden light, appeared, their exquisite armor, patterns, and realistic texture stunned him for a moment.

When the heavenly soldier appeared and charged towards the demonic shadow, unleashing a killing spree, he was utterly dumbfounded.

The movements and the impact of the blows were definitely better than movie special effects.

Many special effects movies can't achieve this level of fight.

He was so captivated by the video that he couldn't help but give it a thumbs up when it ended.

Is this a tech-savvy newcomer on Kuaishou?

He opened the comments section, intending to leave a comment, but was drawn to the comments there:
"This is a video of the Chen family head. Has he posted a video on Kuaishou?"

"Don't mistake the content in this video for special effects; it's all real. You can check it out on Douyin."

"The Chen family's demon-sealing is real. This Chen family head is too stubborn and won't admit it."

"..."

Zhang Hezheng was genuinely bewildered by these comments.

What do these comments mean?
Was the video that had such a powerful impact on him not a special effect, but a real event from reality?
Are you kidding me?
He's not stupid, who would believe such a thing?

This piqued my curiosity, so I downloaded Douyin Video and searched for videos about the Chen family head.

Then, after watching several videos, especially those about the mysterious Chen family, the more I learned, the more I became engrossed and amazed by the Chen family's affairs.

He even saw several live streams on Douyin about the solar spectacle being broadcast by Chen.

It's truly unimaginable how the sun can be so big and so dazzling, yet it doesn't kill people with its heat.

So, he went outside and looked at the sun in the sky, and found it to be nothing special, confirming that it was the same sun as the one over there in the Chen family's area.
Chen family.

As time went on, after Chen Han posted the video on two websites, he could clearly feel that his reputation was increasing at a faster rate.

In a short time, he already had tens of thousands of followers on Kuaishou, and the growth rate was quite fast.

The video was uploaded online and naturally gained increasing popularity on both platforms, attracting more and more attention.

The Taoist priests took notice.

However, the Taoist priests were completely baffled by the way the decree summoned heavenly soldiers in the video of the Chen family head.

Especially Master Li.

When he saw the video, he saw the decree in the Chen family head's hand and even hurriedly flipped through the archives.

Because the decree issued to the Chen family head was on file, it was basically the same as the one made by the other purple-robed Taoist priests, and it was exactly the same as the one on file.

But why is it that the Chen family head can summon heavenly soldiers even with the exact same decree?

This is the first time in all the years since the association was established that so many decrees have been issued.

In various temples and monasteries, many Taoist priests in purple robes silently took out their own decrees and began to study them.

Master Qingwei is an example of this.

This decree was issued by the association when he first became a purple-robed official, and it's the same type as the one issued to the Chen family head.

Moreover, once this decree was in his hands, he examined it for a long time until it gleamed.

When he took out the decree, Master Chen and several other highly respected Taoist priests from Wudang arrived.

They all stared intently at the decree in Master Qingwei's hand.
"Senior brother, hurry up and try it," Master Chen urged.

“Yes, maybe you can summon heavenly soldiers too,” another Taoist priest chimed in.

They all knew the capabilities of the Chen family head; the two restorations of the feng shui formations and the resulting shock made them believe that the scene in the Chen family head's video was real.

Therefore, they all believed that this decree could summon heavenly soldiers, and naturally wanted their senior brother to try it out.

Master Qingwei was also somewhat looking forward to it, knowing that the decree had such an effect and wanting to try it out.

He picked up the decree and began to recite it directly, mimicking the instructions of the Chen family head: "Heavenly Thunder, Dragon and Tiger clash, Sun and Moon illuminate, shining brightly upon me; friends far away, receive my command, summon Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Earthly Soldiers and Generals, Divine Soldiers and Generals, Official Soldiers and Generals, Five Thunder Gods and Generals, act upon the talisman, hasten as the law commands, Heavenly Soldiers come to my aid."

His reading of the imperial edict was even more standard than that of the Chen family head.

Heavenly soldiers came to help me land. Everything was calm around me. Nothing happened. No golden-armored heavenly soldiers appeared.

“No, that won’t work!” Master Qingwei said, frowning.

Master Chen suggested, "Senior brother, why don't you try channeling your internal energy into the mantra?"

Master Qingwei nodded, channeled a bit of his cultivated internal energy into the decree, and began to chant it again. However, this time there was still no response.

This shows that it simply won't work.

"Why is this happening?" Master Qingwei was extremely puzzled and puzzled. "It's the same thing, the same incantation, so what's the difference?"

Master Chen and the others also wanted to know.

They just can't understand it.

Not only them, but the Taoist priests of various temples and monasteries across the Taoist community have all tried, but none of them have succeeded.

Even the bald guys on the other side found something similar to a law and wanted to try it out, but they were filmed, which only added to the laughter.

As the online video went viral, Chen's visitors became even more devout, after all, the appearance of heavenly soldiers was a huge shock and awe-inspiring event.

Capital
Future Company.

Mamiya Tai also saw the video.

He immediately called the Chen family head to inquire: "Family head Chen, I saw the video online. Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything our Future Company can do to help with this matter? After all, the resources we can mobilize are not weak."

It wasn't surprising that Chen Han received this call, given how popular the video was, and how much this Chairman Ma had imagined regarding the Chen family's demon-sealing incident.

This time, they must have taken their imagination seriously.

Is it because they fear the Chen family cannot handle the situation and intend to send reinforcements?
Chen Han knew the real situation, so he smiled and said, "Chairman Ma, that video is just special effects, there's no need to take it seriously, it's fine."

"It's good that you're alright," Ma Gongtai replied, ignoring the word "special effects."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the leader next to him.

"Let's send someone over there, just in case something goes wrong, we need to have a backup plan." The leader thought for a moment and then instructed, "However, don't let it show, so as not to cause any misunderstandings for the Chen family."

“Yes, I’ll make the arrangements.” Ma Gongtai nodded, and he knew how to manage his relationship with the Chen family.

Or rather, after understanding the Chen family, one knows how to communicate with them.

Suddenly, the leader frowned: "Xiao Ma, you said the Chen family's demon-sealing is real, but what about those satellite images..."

“That’s still uncertain,” Ma Gongtai said hastily. “It could also be space debris. It’s because the Chen family has seen a lot that I subconsciously think about it more.”

"I hope so, that would be best." The leader nodded.

Just then, someone came over to report: "Boss, Chairman Ma, the lightning protection construction facilities that Liu Ye customized have been delivered to the Chen family."

Ma Gongtai and the others naturally knew what Liu Ye had customized for; it was definitely to help the old Taoist priest of the Chen family overcome his tribulation.

"Go and see the Chen family for yourself," the leader immediately instructed Ma Gongtai upon hearing the news.

“Yes, I know.” Ma Gongtai nodded.

The old Taoist priest of the Chen family is undergoing his tribulation; such a momentous event, he'll definitely have to go and see. The lightning in those dark clouds should strike down next time, right?
...

As time went by, the video of Chen Han summoning heavenly soldiers became increasingly popular online, and by the next day, he had gained 200 million reputation points.

This is enough to demonstrate its popularity, and the data is still increasing; it's currently in its explosive growth phase.

At one of Chen's stalls.

A middle-aged man with burns all over his body was scrolling through the news on his phone when he came across a video of the Chen family head summoning heavenly soldiers to exorcise demons.

This video has received over 300 million likes; it's incredibly popular.

The man was very surprised when he saw the video, and at the same time, he subconsciously glanced inside the Chen family's house.

He wasn't actually from this country, and his face had been surgically altered; the burns on his body conveniently concealed his fair skin.

Therefore, he is now a student of Tokyo University, and no one doubts him.

The more he inquired around, the more surprised he became.

There are too many incredible things about the Chen family.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a mecha that emerged from the Chen family's building.

The reason he came here was because the special equipment in that destroyed gene lab captured images of something with a metallic shape.

He stumbled upon a video from Dongda University and noticed that the metal structure captured by the metal detector looked very similar to the mecha belonging to the Chen family in the Dongda University video.

He felt it might be the same thing, so he came here to lie in wait and investigate.

While scrolling through videos today, he came across one where the Chen family head summoned heavenly soldiers, which is equivalent to divine disciples in their world.

But does such a thing really exist in reality?
He felt that his worldview had been shaken once again.

But the East has such power, and the fact that the gene lab was so easily destroyed might even be related to them. That would be a disaster for them.

However, he had no way of getting into the Chen family to investigate, as he had already confirmed that the Chen family's practice of punishing people for doing bad things was true.

He was unlucky when he got close, and after a few attempts, he dared not go in again. He was even spotted by the police in the scenic area once, and he became even more cautious afterward.

In order to obtain some concrete intelligence to pass back, he has not contacted his own people so far.

After all, he had discovered that many of his colleagues from Dongda University were monitoring and investigating the vicinity of Chen's residence, and he had even personally witnessed two of his colleagues being arrested.

His codename is Seraph, representing the most elite and his current identity is impeccable. If exposed, no one else here will be able to investigate him thoroughly.

This matter of summoning heavenly soldiers must be thoroughly investigated, he thought, looking towards the mountains.

We should go into the mountains to check the situation.

Just then, he saw tourists exclaim in surprise and look towards the road.

He looked in the same direction and saw a transport truck driving towards them. The sign on it made him instinctively widen his eyes.

It seems this is indeed true.

Is it time to undergo tribulation?
