"STUPID! YOU GUYS ARE SO STUPID!"

"YOU CAN'T EVEN CHASE A BABY; WHAT'S THE POINT OF LEARNING MARTIAL ARTS, HUH?"

"No, Han Ying, don't beat them up like this. They're already hurt," Zhang Yong said soothingly.

"Shut up! First, brothers shouldn't be too kind to others; they'll turn on us! Like that baby who ran away, he's now running away because big brother spoiled him too much!"

"What did you say? Pampering? I didn't spoil him; I just treated him like a normal teenager. He's my nephew, my brother's son; he's been deprived of love since he was a kid; I just don't want him to suffer," Zhang Yong, their first brother, explained.

Han Ying chuckled softly. Now that he's gone, who knows where he's going?"

"Didn't you not care about him earlier? So why are you thinking about him? Don't pretend to care about your nephew!" Zhang Yong quipped.

Hearing that, Han Ying did not get angry at all. Instead, he crossed his arms in front of his chest as he smiled devilishly at the window. "That's right! I'm so happy that the kid ran away from the pavilion; there's no more burden in this pavilion, and with that, I can rule without hesitation," Han Ying said with a devilish smile.

Jing Beiyuan, the third brother of Zhang Xiang's father, frowned at his brother Han Ying's words. "Powerful? What are you powerful at? We can even only access certain rooms because the jade key is with Zhang Xiang," she said.

Instantly, Han Ying's demonic smile faded away. She turned her body around and stared at Jing Beiyuan with a fierce gaze. She forgot that the jade key was brought by her nephew, Zhang Xiang's departure, which was originally her happy news but was now wiped out instantly. During all these years of living in Hua San Pavilion, they could only roam in certain areas that were specially opened for everyone to enter. Including the underground rooms that were open to the public, but there were some private rooms that could not be accessed, such as the private room of Zhang Xiang's father, Xiang, and some of the rooms where he had his temples.

For years, they could only see the door tightly closed, with dust and cobwebs decorating the surface of the door. The pimtu was locked tightly, as was the room where the heirlooms were kept in the pavilin. Never once did the three of them find out what was inside, but a few years ago Xiang told them that there were some matra books and a collection of books containing his stances stored there, but only a jade key could open them.

The matra book is not important to them, for the focus is currently only on pursuing the book of books containing the nine-sword stance along with the white sword with its magic, which is currently the target of everyone. Many want this heirloom because it is said that there will be no one who can kill or even defeat the person once he has mastered it. And the only one who has it is Xiang, one of dozens of other warriors.

Han Ying clenched both hands tightly. "Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier? That way, I wouldn't have let him go!" She said it angrily.

Zhang Yong smiled sarcastically. "That's it; bad intentions will not be favored by the almighty! Your intentions are not good towards your nephew, hence the power to let your nephew run away!"

"Stop calling him my nephew! I never recognized him as a nephew! It's all your fault; chasing after a baby is incompetent!"

Zhang Yong was furious when he heard his younger brother blaming him. Always blaming others, he had never once been kind or prejudiced toward others. Of his two brothers, Han Yong was the only one who was spiteful, malicious, and selfish. He had a very strong ambition and would do anything to achieve his goal, even if it was forbidden to him.

"ARE YOU BLAMING ME? Are YOU CRAZY? Aren't YOU THE ONE WHO didn't WANT TO PURSUE HIM? AREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO SAID YOU DON'T CARE, HUH?"

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO UNDERESTIMATED HIM. HE'S A WEAK, USELESS KID!"

Bugh....

One punch landed on Han Ying's stomach so hard that she fell to the ground. After saying that, Zhang Yong left his two younger siblings immediately.

"Arergghhhtttt....!!!!! Damn Zhang Xiang!!!"

Elsewhere, a scorpion demon was sitting on a four-layered bench with a scorpion symbol as the design of the seat of power. The scorpion-tail-shaped staff with its head never left the ruler's hand. He was Wen Hexing, the black Scorpion King. For weeks, he had been planning this impromptu attack on Hua San, but again he had failed. Even his army dwindled with each visit to Hua San's residence.

"Arrrgghhtt...!!!!"

"What exactly is the source of their strength? Why do I always fail to seize the jade key?" Wen Hexing said it angrily.

"Maybe we need to organize a new strategy to attack them, but in a subtle way," said Rong-Rong, the Centipede demon.

"I can't use subtle means! You think I'm a snow princess, huh? I'm the Scorpion King! THE ARROGANT SCORPION KING!"

Rong-Rong nodded in understanding. "Yes, I know; everyone also knows about your deadly prowess, but not all problems should be solved with violence."

Wen Hexing turned his head towards Rong-Rong. "What do you mean?"

"We must organize a strategy to destroy Hua Dsan's residence slowly and gradually. Let's not be rash; let's utilize the advantages we have."

Wen Hexing couldn't help but think hard about Rong-Rong's words. He absorbed all the words that came out of her mouth while understanding what they meant. At first he was a little hesitant, because if he did it slowly, it would automatically take longer to take their source of strength; wouldn't it affect their troops even more as time went on? Wen Hexing looked at Rong-Rong, who was waiting for his approval, until a few seconds later.

"I disagree!"

Rong-Rong looked surprised to hear that. "Why?"

"Do you want our forces to decrease as time goes by? You remember fighting them being easy? There have even been several times when we attacked them impromptu, but what happened was that our troops again died at their hands. That is truly an insult!" He replied angrily.

"It's an easy thing; we just need to improve their martial arts skills; we just need to train them to be even stronger."

"They're strong; all my troops are strong! It's just that they're stupid; they can't fight Hua San, who fights using their brains!"

As the two of them were arguing, suddenly a soldier, a royal spy, came up to them and saluted them. This man was a spy from the Scorpion Kingdom sent by Wen Hexing to keep an eye on Hua San's residence. So far, the only one who provided any information was this spy; even the one who gave the impromptu attack code was also this man, and strangely, this spy was not known at all by Hua San's family. And now this soldier came to give the latest news.

"Please bow to the scorpion king!"

"What have you come here for?"

"I just came here to inform you that young master Zhang Xiang is no longer in the pavilion; he has left!"

Wen Hexing was shocked; he immediately got up from his seat while stomping his cane. "WHAT? LEFT?"

"With the jade key?" asked Wen Hexing.

The spy soldier nodded. "Yes, sir. The jade key itself is with the young master; I heard it directly from Jing Beiyuan and Han Ying; they were arguing and blaming each other for the young master's departure!"

Wen Hexing knitted his eyebrows together as he clenched his hands tightly.

"PRAJURIT...!!!!!"

"KING READY!"

"SCATTER THE TROOPS! SEARCH FOR ZHANG XIANG UNTIL YOU FIND HIM! And don't COME BACK IF YOU haven't FOUND HIM!"

"READY KING!"

    The wind blows more and more piercingly into the pores of the body, and the sky that was originally a little bright is now getting darker. The sound of the seawater rustling gives a sense of tranquility. On the edge of the vast sea, in the dim night, two people are sitting under the moonlight. They are Zhang Xiang Zhe and Jin Long, both of whom are currently at the edge of the sea to anchor. They are sitting on small rocks in the cold air, under the moonlight, and beside a fire that provides warmth. As someone who chooses to live a wandering life, the cold has become his friend throughout the day, but not for Zhang Xiang Zhe, as he is currently sitting while hugging his knees.The cold pierced his thin pores; even though Jin Long's thick and wide robe had covered his body, the cold was still piercing. Zhang Xiang had also brought his body close to the campfire, hoping to provide warmth, but it was still the same. Maybe it's because he's too out in the open. There were many trees aroun

    "Tonight I will help you heal the wound first; I am afraid that the wound will get worse," Fu Jiu said to Zhang Xiang.Zhang Xiang just nodded obediently, obeying the Vampire Valley chief's request. Xiang Hua helped Zhang Xiang sit on a bed, as they were now in an inn in a township in the city. Fu Jiu asked Zhang Xiang to take off his clothes for a moment so that he could treat in peace, after which Fu Jiu took out a cloth bag that he took from his pocket. Zhang Xiang did not know what was in the bag until a few seconds later, Fu Jiu took out three dried leaves from the bag. He then placed the three dried leaves into a container filled with water. Zhang Xiang watched every process Fu Jiu went through, not knowing what he was doing.After a few seconds, the dried leaves turned soft. Seeing that Fu Jiu's hand immediately grabbed the leaves and squeezed them, he only took the leaves to place them on the stab wound."Zhang Xiang, it might be a little painful, but try to hold it for a whil

For the next few days, Fu Jiu asks Jin Long to stay in his pavilion together. While Jin Long is eating roast pork with Fu Jiu, he asks Zhang Xiang and Xiang Hua to buy some groceries for dinner. Jin Long saw that the two of them had finished eating first, so he dared to ask them to go outside to get the supplies they needed.Before they left, Jin Long gave Xiang Hua a paper with a record of what they were going to buy, after which Fu Jiu gave Xiang Hua a bag of coins.

Those who understood only bowed respectfully then left leaving Zhang Xiang right in front of the Pavilion.As soon as the bodyguards left, Zhang Xiang stepped into the pavilion as quickly as possible, fearing for his first uncle's well-being. But by the time he reached the connecting hallway to reach the uncle's room, Zhang Xiang's steps stopped right beside the second uncle's room.

It didn't make sense for such a large pavilion not to have many rooms, so Zhang Xiang wanted to know more about his father's greatness during his lifetime. He started to find out about his father by getting to know the private room that used to be his father's room.The last time he entered the room was when he was a child, when his father was seriously ill and died in the room. At the age of five, he could already see and remember the incident clearly, so that every time Zhang Xiang walked past the room, he immediately remembered the incident where his father was dying on the bed, not only the pain caused by the disease he suffered, but the bad treatment of a criminal who until now was still an enigma, because Zhang Xiang could not remember the man's face clearly.Zhang Xiang entered the room hesitantly, until a few seconds later he pulle

Seeing the outside world in a crowd like this is an amazing thing, especially for Jin Long who had never been out at all before. His goal of traveling for fun has now been fulfilled one by one, from staying in a place far away from the war to going to the market to buy food.Before Jin Long decided to travel, he was a king who led a sect in the land of Five Flower Lake. The leader was very arrogant and respected by many people. Every warrior and sect leader recognized Jin Long, who was famous for the white sword that was his symbol, and the eighteen-tread celestial dragon stance that was only shown when he was facing a major battle with an enemy twice his rank.

    The next day, Zhang Xiang was surprised by how crowded the Hua San Mountain Temple was. He had just woken up to go to the temple to wash his body and get some food for his uncle and Xiao Hua, but instead he saw a lot of people gathered in the main hall which was usually used for inter-sect meetings. Zhang Xiang was curious about the event, so he chose to go inside and look for the temple servants. There he saw that they were busy preparing the banquet, they were also cooking a big meal. Not just servants, but warriors and royal soldiers were busy removing his father's historical statues.

    "Xiao Hua, why did uncle take so long to return? Did you find the hanging ghost?""I don't know Fen Lian, maybe uncle is trying to find the hanging ghost. To be honest, I'm also very disappointed with him because the master has been trying to be kind to the hanging ghost, and I also know that the master is actually a good leader, always complying with his disciple's requests. It's just that the hanging ghost took advantage of the master's kindness for his own interests, I really didn't expect it," Xiao Hua said feeling disappointed.Zhang Xiang patted Xiao Hua's shoulder lightly. He knew what was going through Xiao Hua's mind right now, but what the heck, everything had already happened. No one wants to be betrayed by their own troops, but in reality, it happened."Calm down Xiao Hua, everything will definitely be fine. Leave everything to uncle.""You'll see when I meet the hanging ghost, I'll make sure he dies by my hand!" Xiao Hua said angrily to the hanging ghost.It wasn't long b

    "Never mind, it's useless for you to fight and accomplish nothing. Besides, shouldn't Jin Long trust Fu Jiu since you know each other so well?" Uncle Yebaiyi asked them all."How can I trust him when I've seen with my own eyes and head that his ghost is performing disturbing acts in other people's temples," Jin Long said, still annoyed with Fu Jiu.That made Fu Jiu shake his head lightly. "Whatever you say Jin Long, I don't want to get into trouble with you anymore! I just want to live peacefully and have many friends, if it was me who asked for the hanging ghost I wouldn't be here right now!"Jin Long fell silent. Indeed, what Fu Jiu said is true, if it was him who did everything, Fu Jiu would be monitoring there, even if he didn't do anything, he would be watching his troops. But he wasn't there at all, so his suspicion of Fu Jiu might not be true."Let's not make a fuss, I'm sick of hearing these insignificant arguments!

Fu Jiu said as he gripped his hands tightly.Soon the nails became long, and definitely very poisonous. Just like the ghost army with long and poisonous nails that had attacked Zhang Xiang back then, Fu Jiu also had those nails. Suddenly Jin Long bulged his eyes, he knew about these nails that they were very dangerous and could even kill people. But the person who has left will become a ghost just like him."Don't blame me if you will feel more pain than the pain of seven nails!"
