The sun was almost at its zenith in the sky and the sun was shining brightly.

The people who came as promised left separately.

The devastated scorched earth of the grassland fell into silence again, leaving behind countless souls of the dead.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, logistics trucks with the Nadutong logo painted on them drove in one after another, and figures filed out one after another, quickly cleaning up the battlefield and covering up the truth of what had happened here...

the other side.

As soon as Zhao Fangxu returned to the headquarters of Nadutong in the imperial capital, he immediately convened a meeting to discuss a series of measures to sanction the Wang family.

But only half a day.

Nadutong and several big bosses among the Ten Lords jointly issued a statement, announcing to the entire alien world the news that Wang Ai and Wang Bing were executed by Zhang Taichu, and at the same time made the whole story known to the world.

The Wang family, which encountered a sudden change, fell into decline.

Not only was the head of the family killed, but the family's extraordinary power also suffered an unprecedented blow, and they also lost their positions among the four major families and the ten bosses. The big hand that stretched out into the extraordinary world was completely chopped off.

Moreover, the Wang family will have to accept a series of rectification measures from Nadutong for a long time in the future, and it seems that they will no longer be able to survive in the world of extraordinary people.

Unfortunately, the Wang family had been active in the world of extraordinary people for many years, and the reputation and status they had built up generation after generation were completely gone under the leadership of Wang Ai, the leader of this generation.

Wang Ai was destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame and be despised by generations of Wang family descendants.

However, the former's soul is still being held captive by Feng Zhenghao in the distant Tianxiahui headquarters, and has become a pitiful soul slave along with his beloved grandson!

-

at the same time.

A full month after going down the mountain to sweep Quanxing, the Longhu Mountain group finally took a plane back to their long-lost hometown. In the evening, they had already set foot on the bluestone steps leading to the back mountain of Longhu Mountain.

At this moment, in the back mountain of Longhu, in a cellar somewhere.

There was a thin old woman with gray hair, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a bowl of dragon beard noodles, walking through the narrow passage in the cellar.

She is Dong Ying, the second disciple of the old celestial master Zhang Zhiwei, and she is responsible for an important task during the time when her master and uncle are going down the mountain.

Da da da……

Every step she took on the ground made a tiny sound, which was amplified by the claustrophobic environment and echoed in the cellar.

And at the end of the cellar.

A figure with an iron chain around his neck suddenly raised his head with an almost insane look.

His face was covered in blood and he looked horrible. His body was mutilated and all his limbs were missing. He had been turned into a human stick. It was none other than Lu Liang, the Quan Xing demon who had attacked Mount Longhu at night!

The latter had lost his arms and legs, making his already thin body look even smaller. He was placed on a wooden bench with a thick iron chain around his neck, tying him to the spot.

In fact, even without the chains, he probably wouldn't be able to leave at this moment. To him, this place was like hell.

However, when he heard the footsteps coming from Dong Ying, Lu Liang's eyes trembled and he looked extremely frightened, and had some kind of stress reaction.

He knew that the sound of footsteps meant that the daily torture was coming!

Chapter 169 Zhang Lingyu: My wife ran away?

But when Zhang Taichu walked around the last corner leading to the back mountain, Tian Jinzhong's figure appeared on the top of the stairs not far away.

The latter was sitting in a wheelchair, accompanied by a hunchbacked old man, who was Zhang Zhiwei's eldest disciple, Zhang Qianhe.

"Hey, Old Tian, ​​you're quite sensible. You knew we were coming back today, so you were waiting for us early."

Zhang Taichu was beaming with joy, and when they were still some distance apart, he waved and greeted them.

The latter, however, had a tense face and a strange expression. He coughed dryly and said, "Junior brothers, you are finally back."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Zhang Zhiwei who was beside Zhang Taichu, but glared at him and said in a deep voice: "You unworthy senior brother, you threw away the burden of the Tianshi Mansion and had a great time outside, and now you have the nerve to come back."

"If you had come back ten days or half a month later, I, your junior brother, would have died in this temporary position of Heavenly Master!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhiwei's eyebrows trembled, and an awkward smile suddenly appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to stroke his white beard and laughed, "Old Tian, ​​you are being too polite when you say this. We are just friends."

"Besides, before I left the mountain, I had basically arranged all the affairs of Longhu Mountain, so there shouldn't be much work to do."

Tian Jinzhong cursed loudly: "Listen, is this human language?"

"You don't know, during the time you were down the mountain, our Longhu Mountain has been very lively. The old guy who hadn't been seen for three years has come out and come to our Zhengyi Temple to ask me for advice."

"But this is exactly what I hate the most... One month, a whole month. Do you know how I spent this month?"

After these words were spoken, Zhang Zhiwei's old face suddenly became embarrassed and he looked even more awkward. He scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Tian Jinzhong just saw his closest fellow apprentice coming back, and couldn't help but vent the emotions that were pent up in his heart. After complaining, he quickly calmed down, but he still didn't give Zhang Zhiwei a good look.

Zhang Taichu, who was watching from the side, was gloating over the situation. He did not hide the smile on his face and even added fuel to the fire, making Zhang Zhiwei so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

The younger generations like Zhang Lingyu have become accustomed to it and turn a blind eye to it.

Lu Linglong, who had been following obediently beside him, lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

But in those big eyes, the soul of gossip was burning. She looked at the two uncles quietly, and her little mouth could not help but curl up into a smile. She felt that Longhu Mountain not only had beautiful scenery and good air, but also had very nice people.

Like these two senior brothers, even though they are old, they are still very energetic and not at all old-fashioned.

When she thought of this, she looked forward to her life in Longhu Mountain from now on even more.

As soon as they returned to the mountain gate, the three brothers started making a fuss.

Zhang Taichu was also joking when he turned around and waved to the younger generation casually, saying, "You all go back first and remember to have a good rest. Lingyu, remember to arrange a room for your junior sister."

As he spoke, he pushed Tian Jinzhong's wheelchair, and together with Zhang Zhiwei beside him, they walked into the tree-lined path leading to another direction while arguing and making a fuss.

Zhang Lingyu, who stayed where he was, nodded respectfully and said yes. Then he smiled at Lu Linglong and said, "Junior sister, I will take you to your room now. From now on, you will be a member of Longhu Mountain."

Lu Linglong nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes full of anticipation: "Brother Lingyu, please give me more guidance in the future!"

-

It only takes a short while.

After Zhang Lingyu had properly arranged Lu Linglong's room, he walked out of the wooden door of the cottage, came to the bluestone road, and headed towards his own room. His heart was pounding and a blush lingered on his face.

He has been separated from Xia He for a month since the last time he went down the mountain. During the time he was down the mountain, he contacted her through his mobile phone and almost made a WeChat video call to her every day, but after all, they were separated by distance and could not be together in person.

Until now, he missed her very much, and felt that after a month of preparation, he had more expectations for the thing that was once "difficult to talk about"!

When she thought of this, Zhang Lingyu's face became even redder. She felt that this was a thought she had never had before. Even if she thought of it now, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she wouldn't deliberately suppress it.

Maybe this is the normal psychology of a mature man?

So, while thinking about some embarrassing things, he walked towards his and Xia He's cabin with big strides. The faster he walked, the more expectant his face became.

"Xia He, I'm back." Zhang Lingyu said as he pushed open the wooden door of the cabin.

What appeared before his eyes was a clean and tidy room. On the wooden table in the small hall, there was a glass vase with two gorgeous camellia flowers in it.

Seeing this scene, a warm smile appeared on Zhang Lingyu's face, but no one responded to his call.

"He should have gone out." Zhang Lingyu said to himself, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

But I saw that the new "big soft bed" that had just been replaced a month was covered with a cute little bear bed sheet, and the pink bedding was neatly folded.

He turned his gaze to the desk on the side, which was also very clean. The Taoist scriptures were neatly put on one side, but in the middle of the table, there was an envelope lying alone.

"What is this?" Zhang Lingyu raised his eyebrows, walked forward with some surprise, and picked up the envelope.

There was a line of beautiful handwriting on the brown paper envelope: "From my husband Lingyu personally - Xia Heliu."

Zhang Lingyu blushed immediately, thinking that Xia He had a cell phone and WeChat but she didn't use it, but she insisted on writing this letter to him, which was quite sentimental.

Thinking of this, he opened the envelope with even greater anticipation, looked at the densely packed contents, and slowly read out the first sentence of the first paragraph:

"My dear, I am going down the mountain for a while, please don't worry about me."

???

The moment he read the content, Zhang Lingyu's pupils trembled. Just the first sentence at the beginning made him feel confused, and he hurriedly read on.

Stay for just a moment.

Zhang Lingyu raised his head abruptly, his hand holding the envelope trembling slightly, and he could not calm down.

So he quickly put down the envelope, took out his mobile phone from his arms, and called Xia He. However, all he got from the other end was a mechanical prompt sound.

I can’t get through at all!

"Xia He, what are you doing?"

Zhang Lingyu gritted his teeth, his face full of worry, and with trembling hands, he edited text messages and immediately sent them to the other party.

However, the number on the other end never responded to any message, as if it had disappeared from the face of the earth. In this situation, Zhang Lingyu only felt an ominous premonition gradually looming in his heart!

Chapter 170 Zhang Taichu: If your wife runs away, go chase her

Zhang Taichu pushed Tian Jinzhong, with Zhang Zhiwei following beside him.

The three of them walked around the forest path behind Longhu Mountain, round and round, chatting with each other, and seemed very relaxed and happy.

"By the way, Old Tian, ​​it's been a month. How is Lu Liang's condition? Has it improved?"

Zhang Taichu has not forgotten the successor of Lu Jiaming's soul technique. He is still waiting for him to realize the Shuangquan Hand in desperate situation and help Tian Jinzhong recover his body as soon as possible.

Tian Jinzhong shook his head and said, "Everything was done according to your instructions, Junior Brother. Xiaoying chopped off Lu Liang's hands and feet and threw him in the dark cellar. At the same time, she tortured him every day and served him without fail."

"But after a month, there has been no substantial progress. I went to see the little kid once, and he looked like a man after being tortured. If this continues, I'm afraid he'll go crazy."

Zhang Taichu fell into a brief silence after hearing this, and then said: "I will go and see for myself what's going on with this kid."

"Don't worry, even if Lu Liang can't figure out the Double Hand, I can find other ways to help you recover."

Tian Jinzhong nodded silently.

Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing aside, also had a look of emotion in his eyes, and memories of the past were once again brought back to him.

Just as the three of them were each thinking their own thoughts, looking at the gradually dimming clouds in the sky, and slowly walking through the tree-lined path.

At the end of the woods, Zhang Lingyu rushed towards them, taking three steps at a time, his face showing a rare look of panic.

Zhang Taichu noticed something was wrong and said in a deep voice: "Disciple, what happened?"

Zhang Lingyu rushed to the front of the crowd with an anxious look on his face. He said to Zhang Taichu in a trembling voice: "Master, Xia He, Xia He has gone down the mountain."

After hearing the reason, Zhang Taichu curled his lips and said helplessly, "Just go down the mountain. He is not a three-year-old kid. How can he get lost? Why are you so anxious?"

"Could it be that there was some conflict between husband and wife, and you made Xia He so angry that she came down the mountain in anger and doesn't want to have anything to do with you?"

Listening to his master's joke, Zhang Lingyu didn't care about being shy. He anxiously took out the envelope from his arms and handed it over, saying, "It's not because of these. It's related to Yaoxing Society. I can't explain it clearly. Master, please take a look."

Hearing this, Zhang Taichu became more serious and quickly read the contents of the envelope.

There wasn't much revealed in the letter, but the words "Yao Xing Society" caught his attention.

It seemed to be some strange force, and Xia He had some kind of relationship with this force, which led her to decide to leave Longhu Mountain alone.

Not much key information was revealed, but he could see between the lines that Xia He was deeply in love with Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu on the side also said with a bitter look on his face: "When I video-called her last night, everything was normal. I didn't expect that she would leave Longhu Mountain last night."

"If she could have waited a little longer, if she could have waited until today, maybe I would..."

Zhang Taichu interrupted by waving his hand: "It has already happened, what's the point of assuming it again?"

"You kid, since your wife ran down the mountain, then go and chase her back. If you are worried about her, then take action and find her quickly."

Zhang Lingyu's eyes trembled when these words came out. His anxious mood was calmed down by his master's words. He thought rationally and said bitterly, "But, but Xia He told me not to look for her. She didn't even give me an address."

Zhang Taichu chuckled: "My disciple, why are you so confused when it comes to love?"

"If she told you not to chase, you really wouldn't chase her? If she didn't tell you the address, you couldn't try harder and look for clues?"

"She is your wife."

As he said this, he didn't wait for Zhang Lingyu to speak again, and kicked him away. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Now, immediately, go down Longhu Mountain. Goal, find your wife."

"When you find it back, you can come back to Longhu Mountain."

After hearing this, Zhang Lingyu stopped struggling and bowed his head to the three elders in front of him and said, "Master, two uncles, I will go down the mountain right now to find Xia He."

Having said that, he turned around in a hurry, not bothering to take more luggage, and walked down the mountain holding the envelope in his hand, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

After confirming that the other party had left, Zhang Taichu slowly took out his mobile phone and made a call.
