The loss of appetite these days really made Bai Chen a little upset. He was fine when Xiao Nie was by his side coaxing him, but if it were like last night where Xiao Nie wasn’t with him, Bai Chen was very irritated that he wanted to destroy.
Bai Chen’s experience till now, except for the first world where he did not find Mo Yuan at first, there has never been a time he was so irritated.
He’s used to doing as he pleases and never wronged himself. Moreover, the Zheng family behavior obviously hindered him from completing the task. So on the second day, Bai Chen took Xiao Nie directly to Qingmang Mountain, where the Zheng family ancestral graves were located.
Bai Chen doesn’t like being controlled by others. He planned to dig up the Zheng family ancestral grave to retrieve the rib, then taught the Zheng family a lesson one by one.
Qingman Mountain is where the Zheng family ancestral tomb was located. In order to protect the ancestral tomb so it won’t have any problem to disturbed their ancestors, the entire Qingmang Mountain was bought by the Zheng family. The children of the clan were sent to guard it all year round. Besides that, the Zheng family also spent a lot of money to hire a hundred bodyguards to protect it.
Bai Chen and Xiao Nie had just arrived at the foot of Qingmang Mountain when he was stopped by the guards.
“Private property, outsiders are not allowed to go in.” The two guards were expressionless with a fierce aura. Their muscular arms were in front of Bai Chen.
The bodyguard was tall, Bai Chen needed to raise his head to look at them. Bai Chen felt tired so he just doesn’t care to look at all. He slowly took out two immobilization talismans and quickly attached them to the two bodyguards.
The bodyguards couldn’t move for a while.
Bai Chen held Xiao Nie’s hand, walked past them and went up the mountain.
In addition to many people guarding Qingmang Mountain, there are also many cameras inside. Bai Chen and Xiao Nie just walked into the mountain and were seen by the security guard, who was in charge of monitoring, in the security room at the foot of the mountain.
The security hurriedly notified the Zheng family members who were guarding Qingman Mountain.
For a physical fight, Bai Chen’s body doesn’t have any muscles so he can’t beat those muscular bodyguards at all but Bai Chen is an exorcist with spiritual energy. There are many ways to subdue these bodyguards without much effort.
Several bodyguards will rush out every other distance but Bai Chen easily takes care of them.
Xiao Nie walked beside Bai Chen, the two were still holding hands along the way. Even when dealing with these bodyguards who kept rushing out, neither of them let go of their intertwined hands.
Xiao Nie’s mouth twitched slightly, his eyes filled with doting smiles as he watched Bai Chen toss those bodyguards around.
Along the way, bodyguards appeared in waves but the pace of the two were not once slowed down at all. It was as if they were just walking in the garden. Even when dealing with bodyguards didn’t disturbed their leisurely pace.
As if they weren’t here to find trouble today and just came here for a run.
After a while, the two walked halfway up the mountain.
“It’s you?” The people from the Zheng family who were in charge of guarding Qingmang Mountain all surrounded Bai Chen and Xiao Nie. One of them, a man in his thirties, recognized Bai Chen.
Zheng Shucong frowned. He stared at Bai Chen and Xiao Nie alertly. He recognized Bai Chen. In the past few months, Bai chen has been very famous in the exorcist world. Almost everyone who knew Bai Chen would praise him for being a genius and became the hope of reviving the Qu family.
But even if he knew, Zheng Shucong still did not take Bai Chen seriously. In his mind, no matter how talented Bai Chen is, now he is nothing more than a child who has just passed the intermediate exorcist assessment.
What really alerted Zheng Shucong was the man beside Bai Chen.
The man didn’t do anything, didn’t even lift a hand along the way at all, but by just standing there quietly, he was like a huge mountain with a mighty and unshakable aura. Even just looking at him gave him a faint feeling of wanting to surrender.
This man is powerful.
And very dangerous.
Zheng Shucong is very calm and very good at analyzing the pros and cons. When realizing this, he makes a decision instantly.
There must be no conflict. If they want to make trouble, they have to at least wait for the patriarch to come first.
He stepped forward, saying: “This is the forbidden site of my Zheng family’s ancestral tomb, both of you please stop here and go down the mountain. As for trespassing, the Zheng family can let it go.”
As he said, he made a gesture quietly behind his back.
The person in charge of monitoring in the monitoring room saw this gesture and his face immediately changed. He picked up his phone and quickly made a phone call to the main residence of the Zheng family.
When Zheng Shucong led people to intercept them, he thought that these people could be enough to deter those that come up the mountain but after seeing Xiao Nie at first glance, Zheng Shucong realized that if this opponent wants to forcibly invade, then they will probably only be food that deliver themselves over.
He just doesn’t know why Qu Yuge suddenly took this person with him to Qingmang Mountain? What is the relationship between the two? And for what?
Zheng Shucong saw Bai Chen and Xiao Nie holding hands tightly from the corner of his eyes.
No matter what, he will stop them.
Bai Chen looked around the Zheng family who surrounded him and said coldly: “I’ve determined to get to the top of this mountain.”
Zheng Shucong frowned deeply: “Qu Yuge, the Zheng family and the Qu family have been friends for generations. The Zheng family has treats you well, why are you doing this?”
“Go ask Zheng Wenqin.”
Zheng Wenqin is the current patriarch of the Zheng family.
Zheng Shucong didn’t know what the Zheng family did to the Qu family. The matter of the ancestral grave is too secret in the Zheng family. Only the past patriarch of the Zheng family and several elders can know about it, while the other Zheng family members have no clue about it.
Therefore, Zheng Shucong has no way to know but he keenly felt that there was something big that he didn’t know about.
But he didn’t get to the bottom of it. His duty is to guard Qingmang Mountain and prevent anyone from approaching. No matter what happens, he has to do his own job first.
He frowned. He pulls out the seven-star sword from behind him and aims at Bai Chen: “You cannot go up this mountain. If you’re going to force it, then don’t blame us for being rude!”
Bai Chen is too lazy to talk nonsense. He took out the copper sword handed down by the Qu family and used it directly.
The Qu family has passed down to this day and many tools have been lost. What is left now is not even qualified to be a copper sword from a hundred years ago.
Bai Chen hardly uses this sword, but thinking about what he’s going to do today, he just takes the copper sword over.
It is also good to let the Qu family ancestors breathe a sigh of relief.
There are about thirty people in the Zheng family who are responsible for guarding the mountain. More than 20 of them are intermediate exorcists while the rest are senior exorcists.
Senior exorcists and intermediate exorcists are separated by a large dividing line. They are not as simple as advancing from the beginner to intermediate. They need to have enough points and pass the assessment. To become a senior exorcist, in addition to points, they also need to master a certain amount of exorcism. Their spiritual energy in their body must also reach the standard and other various rigorous tests.
Therefore, the intermediate exorcist couldn’t match the senior exorcist abilities at all. However, the situation at this moment turns everyone’s usual thought upside down. Bai Chen, an exorcist who had just been promoted to an intermediate exorcist, not only did he overthrow more than 20 exorcists of the same level, he even knocked down those senior exorcists and stepped on them.
Bai Chen crushed Zheng Shucong’s five fingers and others with one foot. He raised the copper sword to carefully cut these Zheng family meridians.
Although these Zheng family descendents did not know about it, their existence and even their growth all come from the bloody corpses of everyone in the Qu family.
Now is a society led by law, Bai Chen, who wants to avenge the Qu family, could not kill for the Qu family but he can take back what the Zheng family stole from the Qu family.
The first is these Zheng family members’ spiritual energy.
Xiao Nie watched silently during the whole process, he never intervened. When Bai Chen put away the copper sword, Xiao Nie just lifted his foot and stepped forward to hold Bai Chen empty hand again and intertwined their fingers.
The two ignored the Zheng family descendants in place wailing with pain and continued to the top of the mountain.
The Zheng family ancestral tomb is at the top of Qingmang Mountain. Because the Zheng patriarch and elders have been buried on this mountain for generations, the top of the mountain are all luxurious tomb. But even so, Bai Chen recognized the tomb of the Zheng family’s first ancestor at first sight.
The tomb is particularly conspicuous. Although its appearance has become a bit quaint and outdated due to hundreds of years of wind and rain, one can still see at a glance its once luxurious splendor. Even now, this grave in this patch of graves still stands out from the crowd to show its unique status.
Bai Chen walked forward slowly.
His fingers run over the inscription on the stone tablet.
Zheng Xingchen.
This is the name of the founder of the Zheng family. It is also the name of the young apprentice of the national teacher of the Qu family.
Zheng Xingchen was originally an orphan without a name. This name was decided by the Qu ancestor after reading many books. It contains the expectations and love of the Qu ancestor for him.
He never expected at all, the Qu ancestor was good with all his heart and lungs but he turned out to raise a white-eye wolf who repaid with malice.
Bai Chen frowned. He raised the copper sword in his hand and split the three characters of Zheng Xingchen, destroying it. Then he aimed at the grave behind the tablet and split it.
“Child of the Qu family, stop!” A thick middle-aged man’s voice came.
Bai Chen turned to look. He saw Zheng Wenqin, the patriarch of the Zheng family, with a look of anger and fear in his eyes. He quickly ran to Bai Chen’s direction.
And behind him is a large group of people from the Zheng family.
Among them, Zheng Jianhua, who Bai Chen had met, and Zheng Haiying, his son, are also there.
Bai Chen glanced at them, then turned back his gaze. Regardless of Zheng Wenqin’s angry shouts behind him, the sword slashed the grave open.
“You dare!”
A palm following the wind filled with powerful spiritual energy blew toward Bai Chen’s back but as if Bai Chen didn’t feel it, he stood there without even dodging it.
“Yuge!”
“Patriarch be merciful.”
Zheng Wenqin’s momentum did not weaken because of Zheng Jianhua and his son’s voices. On the contrary, the closer he is to Bai Chen, the stronger the spiritual energy in the palm becomes.
Seeing that this palm was about to hit Bai Chen, on the side, a clear powerful palm suddenly stretched out.
They saw that the palm gently flick and Zheng Wenqin’s whole body suddenly flew away, smashing on a tombstone not far away, then fell down heavily.
‘Puff’
Zheng Wenqin was lying on the ground, holding his chest and patting a mouthful of blood. His eyes looked at Xiao Nie, who was standing beside Bai Chen, in horror and scrutinizing.
“Patriarch.”
A group of people from the Zheng family ran over to help Zheng Wenqin up and surrounded him. Then they looked at Bai Chen and Xiao Nie vigilantly.
Zheng Jianhua saw that Bai Chen was fine, but he didn’t even breathe a sigh of relief before seeing that Zheng Wenqin was injured. He didn’t have time to look at Bai Chen as he anxiously brought Zheng Haiying to Zheng Wenqin’s side.
Zheng Wenqin was seriously injured. Xiao Nie’s palm gently flicked and already made Zheng Wenqin’s body turn chaotic.
“Yuge, what are you doing?” Zheng Jianhua frowned and reprimanded: “Still don’t kneel down and admit your mistake to ask the patriarch to forgive you!”
He looked like an elder and treated Bai Chen as a younger generation of the Zheng family.
They were all informed of the importance of the Zheng ancestral tomb since they were sensible children. Although most don’t know the real importance of it, every Zheng family has been taught that the importance of the ancestral tomb is higher than any of them from the Zheng family. Even if they die, the ancestral tomb must be kept intact.
And now, the ancestral tomb was destroyed.
Zheng Jianhua was also angry and started educating, wanting Bai Chen to apologize. Out of friendship, he doesn’t want Bai Chen to die.
This is the last member of the Qu family.
Zheng Jianhua said these words, the first one who disagreed were the other members of the Zheng family.
“Destroying the ancestral tomb should be punished with death.”
“This way, even if his corpse is broken into thousands of pieces, still must not let this hatred go.”
“My Zheng family has helped the Qu many times in the past and this is how the Qu family repays my Zheng family now. Repay by destroying my Zheng family’s ancestral tomb, such disrespect for elders and such a vicious heart. The wick who doesn’t know to be grateful. We should clean up the door for the Qu family!”
…..
These words were passed into Bai Chen’s left ear and out the right. He raised the copper sword again. In front of the Zheng family, who wished him to kneel down and commit suicide, he widen the entrance of the grave.
The Zheng family were completely furious. They were just worried about the mysterious and unpredictable Xiao Nie on the side so they didn’t do anything, but this time Bai Chen completely angered them. They no longer care about Xiao Nie and shoot toward Bai Chen fiercely.
Bai Chen didn’t move.
When these people were about to hurt Bai Chen, Xiao Nie shot again. In the blink of an eye, those groups of the Zheng family were all smashed into the Zheng family patriarch’s direction.
Zheng Jianhua, the father and son, and several elders did not take action. Seeing this, they hurriedly helped the injured Zheng patriarch escape.
‘Peng peng Peng’
Twenty people fell to the ground like a human pyramid.
Zheng Jianhua said in a hurry: “Yuge!”
Bai Chen didn’t wait for him to continue before opening his mouth and said coldly to the Zheng patriarch: “Patriarch Zheng, what is the punishment for deceiving a teacher and destroying an ancestor?”
The Zheng patriarch who was suddenly questioned covered his chest and stared at Bai Chen with wide eyes.
Hundreds of years have passed, how did the Qu family know the truth?
Before he came here, he only made a vague guess, but now hearing Bai Chen’s words, what can he not understand.
His gazes immediately became stern. He originally wanted to draw this out but it seems it’s impossible to stay now.
Patriarch Zheng turned to look at an elder who was supporting him.
The elder nodded calmly,
Zheng Jianhua frowned. He didn’t know what Bai Chen meant when he said this.
Zheng Haiying on the side suddenly asked: “Yuge, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you were bewitched by someone?”
He pointedly looked at Xiao Nie.
Zheng Haiying was shocked by what Bai Chen had done before, but for the Zheng family, he was very angry at Bai Chen’s behavior. Like the other descendents of the Zheng family, he also wanted Bai Chen to pay for his actions but he struggled and hesitated a little bit. For the first time in years, he was moved. He didn’t want to see Bai Chen die.
So he suddenly thought of something, planning to put Bai Chen’s crime this time on Xiao Nie’s head. This way, not only can he apologize for the person he likes, he can also get rid of a rival through his family hands.
Although he was sorry for his ancestor and also violated one of the family rules, Zheng Haiying still wanted to do it.
Bai Chen fulfilled his promise to Xiao Nie, he didn’t even glance at Zheng Haiying. Even his words, Bai Chen just pretended that he didn’t hear it.
Bai Chen stared at patriarch Zheng, saying word by word: “deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestor, stealing luck, killing other peoples from generation to generation leaving no one. The whole clan should be punished by death, only then will this injustice be cleared away.”
Patriarch Zheng froze all over. A sense of danger strikes as goosebumps rise all over his body.
He shouted: “Little yellow mouth, no matter how much you say, today you destroyed my Zheng family ancestral graves. My Zheng family is bound to use your blood to comfort the spirit of the Zheng family ancestor!”
After that, he flew up with the elders and attacked Bai Chen.
Xiao Nie’s palm left a shadow in patriarch Zheng’s heart but as the patriarch of the Zheng family, he couldn’t retreat. He can’t let the secret fortune of the Zheng family leak out. For the Zheng family, he must kill Bai Chen.
Bai Chen smiled coldly.
Xiao Nie stepped forward, meeting the attack of the Zheng patriarch and firmly protecting Bai Chen behind him. He doesn’t do what he did before, he deals with these people directly and decisively, instead of teasing them like cat and mouse.
Bai Chen was still standing there. He looked at the Zheng family patriarch and the few elders in the fight and said loudly: “In the past, the Qu family ancestor felt sorry for the Zheng family ancestor. Seeing that he has good talent, he brought the Zheng family ancestor to his side and accepted as an apprentice to nurture him carefully and even name him Zheng Xingchen.”
“Shut up, don’t slander my Zheng family ancestor!” Patriarch Zheng shouted sharply, wanting to break through Xiao Nie to kill Bai Chen. However, Xiao Nie stood firmly. He couldn’t even touch the corner of Bai Chen’s clothes.
“How could he bite the hand that feeds him. A dog’s conscience and lungs. Not only did he killed the other two apprentices of the ancestor and murder the ancestor’s sworn brother, he even help an unfaithful and unfilial bastard prince succeed.”
“Shut up!”
“After the ancestor became immortal, under the guise of mourning, he steals the ancestor’s rib and with evil spell, hides his own ribs inside the ancestor.”
“Shut up!”
“He hid the ancestor’s rib in himself and raised it. When he died, he used the evil spirit to steal the luck of the Qu family with the transfer formation to make the Zheng family flourish. The Zheng family prospered while the Qu family slowly fell from the sky. Until now, there’s only me left.”
“The Qu family has done all kinds of evil deeds and it is the heaven will to end the Qu family lineage. You kid has a vicious mind, slandering my Zheng family ancestor. Take your life!” The Zheng patriarch shouted, but he was still firmly stopped by Xiao Nie, only relying on his loud voice to vent out.
The Zheng family on the side had been shocked by the fact that Bai Chen had spoken. Most of the descendants, who were very fanatical about the Zheng family, did not believe Bai Chen’s words. They just feel that Bai Chen is slandering the Zheng family, but a small group of cool-head people believed in Bai Chen’s words.
Because their patriarch’s attitude is not right!
Zheng Jianhua was in shock at this moment. He didn’t want to believe what Bai Chen said but patriarch Zheng’s angry and guilty conscience broke down his long-standing beliefs.
His body shook and slowly said: “Do you have evidence?”
“The evidence is in this tomb.” Bai Chen said. He turned around and walked toward the tomb and blasted the door open. In a moment, his figure disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
The Zheng family patriarch and several elders saw this and attacked more crazily. The Zheng family on the side saw that Bai Chen entered and offended their ancestors, they couldn’t take much anymore and rushed over, wanting to pull Bai Chen out. But Xiao Nie is too powerful, they couldn’t make any progress at all.
It wasn’t known how long it had been, there was a slight movement from the bottom of the tomb, then the sound of dragging got louder and louder. Slowly, Bai Chen’s figure reappeared at the tomb door.
They saw Bai Chen walk out of the tomb door, then he pressed a force on the inside of the tomb door and a tall and heavy golden silk coffin was pulled out of the tomb door by Bai Chen, revealing it to the public eyes.
At the same time, Xiao Nie no longer stays behind but instead knocks all the Zheng family away, smashing them to the ground that they couldn’t get up.
Bai Chen holds the Qu family’s copper sword and is about to split the coffin but Xiao Nie stepped forward and said: “I’ll do it.”
Bai Chen nodded and took a step back.
Xiao Nie slapped the coffin with a palm. The few coffin nails suddenly flew out of the coffin, making a sound as it fell to the ground.
Xiao Nie waved his palm again, the coffin lid flew up immediately.
A thick black qi rushed out of the coffin, attacking Xiao Nie’s face. Xiao Nie used his right hand to grab the black qi into his palm and crushed the black qi expressionlessly.
After the black qi disappeared, Xiao Nie threw the coffin lid aside and looked into the coffin. After confirming that there was no danger in the coffin, he stepped back and Bai Chen came forward.
“Children of the Qu family, you disturb my ancestor’s deep sleep.” The Zheng family patriarch, who was beaten by Xiao Nie, couldn’t move but still did not give up his sophistry.
Bai Chen kicked with his foot, the coffin nail that just fell on the ground fly towards the Zheng family patriarch, passed through the Zheng patriarch lower lips, knocking out his front teeth.
“Patriarch!” The descendants of the Zheng family all glared at Bai chen.
Bai Chen calmly accepted it.
He glanced at the situation in the coffin, then kicked the coffin with one foot to the side of the Zheng family descendants: “Look at what kind of evil spirit that ancestor you have done!”
Those Zheng family descendants are very angry. They felt that Bai Chen was just slandering and insulting their great ancestor, but their heart was also strangely affected by Bai Chen’s words.
They leaned on the coffin and looked slowly into the coffin.
This one glance, all those people inhale sharply.
Zheng Jianhua, the father and son, who have not done anything during this time, walked over with a signified face. They also looked into the coffin, and this one look, just like those Zheng family descendants, they were stunned.
They saw a human-shaped skeleton lying inside. They are all exorcists, what kind of bones haven’t they seen before, but still, it shouldn’t have looked like this. The bones in the coffin were completely different from what they had seen before.
Strange and not quite clear.
They could see that there was a layer of black ominous qi on those bones. Those qi continue to seep into the bones and dye it all black, except for one rib in the body that was still white while all the other had already turned black.
Black and white, the two colors are so bright, forming a strong contrast.
Not only that, on those black bones, it faintly reveals lines like blood. These lines fall on very black bone, connecting together to form a strange blood-colored figure that tightly bound the white rib inside.
Everyone present is an exorcist. Although they don’t know what it is, at a glance, they can see the unrest and strangeness of the skeleton inside the coffin.
This is black art.
The rumored evil art!
T/N: I also don’t know why Zheng Xinhua became Zheng Xingchen. (´･ω･`)?
