Zhang Xiang Zhe ran with all his might out of the pavilion to avoid his three uncles, who could faintly be heard very loudly calling his name from inside the pavilion. But that did not make Zhang Xiang Zhe stop his pace; even the pain and blood dripping through the robe he was wearing did not deter him from continuing to run. Zhang Xiang didn't care where he was going; he just followed where his feet would take him. After almost thirty minutes of running, he felt that he had gotten quite far from the pavilion. Zhang Xiang stopped his steps right in a forest. Who knows what forest, and where he is right now, all he needs right now is to rest for a while.
Zhang Xiang held his stomach, which was in pain. As soon as he looked down, removing a bit of the robe he was wearing, it turned out that the wound from the sword stab from the scorpion demon had reopened. Just as Zhang Xiang was about to wipe away the blood and replace it with a new cloth, there was a crowd of people calling his name. Zhang Xiang immediately ran back, but unfortunately, his movement was not fast enough. Several soldiers intercepted him, and they surrounded Zhang Xiang."Young master, please come back! Lord Zhang Yong is waiting for you in the pavilion."Zhang Xiang shook his head firmly while clenching his hands into fists. "No! I don't want to go back to the pavilion!" He said it firmly.Without further ado, several soldiers came forward and tightly restrained both of Zhang Xiang's wrists. With the sudden movement, Zhang Xiang continued to rebel, stomping his hands in the air and trying to remove the restraints, but to no avail. His strength was not strong enough to fight against his uncle's soldiers."Hahahahha!!! Master, master, never mind! It's better to go back with us than to rebel even though you won't be able to, because your strength is not strong enough to fight us!" One of the soldiers mocked Zhang Xiang."NO! I don't WANT TO GO WITH YOU! LET GO!""Take the young master!""Don't take him!"A young man who suddenly came out of nowhere. It was clear that right now the young man dressed in a white-colored robe with a sword behind his back was standing in front of Zhang Xiang."Who are you? Don't interfere!"The young man smiled fiercely at the soldier. He would not be afraid of a man, let alone just a warning from the mouth. Tens of thousands of people had died at his hands, and even all the soldiers under him had died at his hands directly. This man was Jin Long, the head of the Kaypang sect from the Five Flower Lake. Jin Long himself was famous for his ferocity in killing opponents; he didn't look at caste or sect because killing people was his hobby. Hua San's warriors should have recognized the young man in front of them, but in reality, they didn't recognize him at all.Jin Long smiled sarcastically when he realized that they didn't recognize him, which he could use to save the young man in front of him."Let go of this young man and go!""Attack...!!!"Jin Long was surprised by their impromptu attack, so he quickly grabbed the white sword behind his back and countered their attack alone. But before that, Jin Long saved Zhang Xiang first and asked him to run as far away as possible."Uncle!"Go, young man, don't imitate Uncle!" It's very dangerous here!""But-""GO!"Zhang Xiang nodded his head in fear and ran as fast as he could to leave the unknown young man who was fighting against his uncle's soldiers. It turned out that the two soldiers did not just let Zhang Xiang go; they chased after the running Zhang Xiang. However, it didn't take long for the two soldiers to be attacked by Jin Long, and the one-on-six battle became heated. Killing dozens of people in a matter of minutes is easy, let alone fighting six people. It was a piece of cake for Jin Long, as the white sword that had witnessed so many lives die in his hands was now in action.In one fell swoop, fresh blood would flow from the flesh. Several warriors had already felt the pain of a white sword hitting their skin, until one warrior leader couldn't stop attacking Jin Long. They both took out their swords to fight, until at one point the warrior leader collapsed to the ground because the tip of the sword stuck in his abdomen.Srek...Sring..."Never underestimate others! You think you're great?"Jin Long left them lying with blood pouring out of their bodies. There were even some soldiers who had died from the ferocity of the sword he used. Jin Long hurried to find Zhang Xiang's whereabouts until he came to the shore of the lake, where it was pitch black with only the moonlight shining through.Zhang Xiang was sitting on the roots of a huge tree. As soon as he saw the young man coming to help him, he stood up straight and bowed his body to pay his respects.Seeing that, Jin Long immediately cleared his throat while thinking to himself about the young man in front of him. Being so polite to him, not to mention that his face still looks very small, with a body shape that has no muscles at all. But what distracted Jin Long were the blood stains on the clothes Zhang Xiang was wearing."Your wound looks really bad," Jin Long said suddenly.That made Zhang Xiang instantly straighten up and cover the wound on his body with his hand.No, uncle, I'm not hurt," Zhang Xiang replied nervously."Uncle! Thank you for helping me earlier; if you hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened to me," Zhang Xiang said, changing the subject so that Jin Long wouldn't discuss his wound."If you can't defend yourself, it's better not to go alone!" Jin Long spoke in a cold tone.While Zhang Xiang was only silent while nodding his head obediently. Until a few seconds later, Jin Long asked Zhang Xiang another question."Where do you live? I'll take you. It's dangerous for a child to go out alone at this time of night; someone will attack you, and you won't be able to defend yourself!"Zhang Xiang sighed softly. Again, the martial arts sounded in his ears. With this incident, Zhang Xiang was even more convinced that he had to learn martial arts to protect himself from enemy attacks."Uncle! Actually, it was my uncle's soldiers who wanted to take me back, but I don't want to go back!" Zhang Xiang replied hesitantly."Why?""I want to travel to find a teacher who can train me in martial arts. I've been insulted enough by my three uncles for being useless, and I've also been hit many times by enemies but can't retaliate.""What made you want to learn martial arts?""I wanted to prove to my three uncles that I'm not a weak man; I can do martial arts. In the future, when I am able to do martial arts, I will utilize my skills to help others and defend the truth!" Zhang Xiang replied confidently.Jin Long looked pityingly at Zhang Xiang. Many children out there have mastered various moves to protect themselves, but this young man in front of him could not do anything; even from his physique alone, it could be guessed that Zhang Xiang did not have any strength. But to Jin Long's astonishment, where did this kid come from? And what sect did his family belong to if they did not introduce him to martial arts?But Jin Long did not want to interfere with the problems of the young man in front of him; he himself had goals that had not yet been achieved. His goal of traveling was to find peace and enjoy a real life without killing others, but for the umpteenth time, he still killed people just to help the young man in front of him.Jin Long patted Zhang Xiang's shoulder lightly. "Cheer up, young man! You still have a long way to go; hopefully one day you will find a teacher who can help you!"Zhang Xiang nodded confidently. "I will. What is my uncle's name?" he asked boldly."Jin."After saying that, Jin Long walked away, but Zhang Xiang immediately chased after Jin Long and followed behind him."Uncle Jin, can you help me learn martial arts?" asked Zhang Xiang while matching Jin Long's pace."I can't, because I'm just an ordinary person!""Is uncle lying? Just now I saw that you can handle soldiers, so I think you can help me."Jin Long did not respond. He was still focused on his steps, and Zhang Xiang also continued to chatter boldly behind Jin Long."Uncle, come on, help me; I don't know where to go; this is my first time outside the pavilion."Greb...Continued..."You never went out before?"Zhang Xiang shook his head innocently."Don't you know that the outside world is very dangerous? Aren't you afraid of death?"Zhang Xiang was silent. He was just a fourteen-year-old teenager who was afraid of death. In fact, Zhang Xiang himself was scared at the time of an attack, having been hidden away by his three uncles for the past fourteen years, and it was only in the past few years after he reached adulthood that he often saw people fighting. Previously, Zhang Xiang was afraid of blood, but from now on, he will try to familiarize himself with it so that he will not be afraid of it anymore."To be a warrior, you must not be afraid of death!""Huh, who's afraid? I'm not afraid of death at all!"Sring...."Zhang Xiang, watch out!""Akhh!!!"A sword flew through the air; who knows where it came from? Fortunately, Jin Long nimbly pulled Zhang Xiang's wrist, so the sword missed and stuck in a big tree. Jin Long was still staring at the sword, casting his
As the night wore on, it got quieter and quieter. Only the sound of crickets and the splashing of lake water accompanied the night. Jin Long took Zhang Xiang out of the ghost forest and brought him to a place on the shore of a vast lake with rocks around it.Jin Long asked Zhang Xiang to seat himself on a large rock not far from the lake as he prepared a bonfire to warm their bodies later. As a nomad, Jin Long was used to the nomadic life, but this was his first time traveling with other people, whose backgrounds he knew nothing about. And to make matters worse, the teenage boy he brought along this time—what a misfortune! Instantly, he forgot about his goal of enjoying the outside world without a burden, but now he has a new burden.As soon as the fire was lit, Jin Long asked Zhang Xiang to sit closer to the fire so as not to get cold. But seeing Zhang Xiang, who was pale while holding his stomach, made Jin Long immediately wrinkle his forehead. He thought that Zhang Xiang was curren
Hua San MountainBugh...Bugh...Bugh..."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
An ancient building with a red opening door stood tall, complete with four doormen, all dressed in red with pale white corollaries and ghastly eyes. This magnificent all-red building was the residence of Fu Jiu Yun, the Vampire King. This building was behind the Ghost Valley Cave, not far from the Ghost Forest. It was in this place that the ghost king resided, along with a horde of other ghosts under his rule.After their battle with Jin Long, the ghost king and his guards returned to the ghost kingdom, still curious about Jin Long's abilities. Fu Jiu suspected that Jin Long was a warrior from the Kaypang sect, which was a sect of beggars. The sect is divided into two categories: clean clothes and dirty clothes. What made Fu Jiu instantly curious was that seeing Jin Long's appearance like that of a beggar made him think of the sect.But until this moment, Fu Jiu still can't find the answer to his curiosity because the fight has not been completed. Jin Long has taken Zhang Xiang away,
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
After they had their meal together, Jin Long asked Zhang Xiang to buy something he needed for dinner tonight, so that he wouldn't have to go out again. 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. After that, they went outside to look for some items they needed for dinner.Especially for tonight, Jin Long wanted to make roast meat and warm soup, so with a look at the ingredients Zhang Xiang and Xiang Hua immediately looked for a vendor that sold meat. On a paper with meat and spices written on it, the two of them worked together to find a meat vendor. Until after a
"Young master, do we need to escort you inside?"Zhang Xiang raised one of his hands up, signaling the bodyguards not to. 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. Seeing the door of the room open, he heard a conversation inside the room. However, the topic of conversation this time made Zhang Xiang a little interested, it made Zhang Xiang ventured to peek into the uncle's conversation.Zhang Xiang knew what he had done was wrong, but he really dared to do this because he was very curious. Peeking through the door, the second uncle was talking to the third uncle."Big brother, it's better if we fight together to defend this sect.""NO WAY!"Jing Be
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. Zhang Xiang actually wanted to know more, but remembering that his uncle and Xiao Hua were still sleeping in the temple, he immediately went to meet them.By the time Zhang Xiang had just arrived in front of the temple, uncle Yebaiyi suddenly called out his name. Apparently they had all woken up, and now they were tidy as if they had just taken a bath. Zhang Xiang immediately ran over to them."Uncle,
"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! I ask you to forget about all this and now all we have to do
"Feel this Jin Long!""Arrrgghhtt!!!""Damn it! You won't be able to kill me Fu Jiu! Believe me!" Jin Long said as he got back up."Oh yeah? I won't hesitate to make you die in my hands right now!" 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!" Fu Jiu said, pointing his hands at Jin Long.Fu Jiu started pointing his hands while bringing his body closer to Jin Long. While Jin Long himself was getting ready to face Fu Jiu who was about to make the attack on him, the two eyes met and both glowed with anger. Just as Fu Jiu was about to slice into Jin Long's c
"Jin Long! Watch what you say! I never ordered any hanging ghosts!""I don't believe it! There is no history of a perpetrator admitting his guilt," Jin Long replied firmly.Fu Jiu, who felt that he was being accused by Jin Long, clenched his hands hard, and stared at him with a fierce gaze. His patience is now so thin that every word that comes out of Jin Long's lips is like a burning ember that can make him feel burned by the fire of anger. It was the same feeling as when she first met Jin Long, a feeling of anger and hatred. And now for the umpteenth time she felt that disappointment again toward Jin Long.He had been known as an evil and cruel ghost because of his ability to control humans or demons. Even killing and turning ordinary people into ghosts just like her was a common thing for her. But after meeting Jin Long everything changed. From being the king of heartlessness, he has now become a kind-hearted ghost who cares about others."Fu Jiu, you better be honest with me now o
"Where is the hanging ghost?" asked Master Fu Jiu to the mourning ghost who was sitting on his bench."Sorry master, we don't know where he went, but we haven't seen him since yesterday," he said.F u Jiu was silent for a moment wondering about the whereabouts of the hanging ghost who had disappeared since receiving his punishment. Initially, he wanted to exterminate one of his ghosts, because he had made a fatal mistake. Betrayal cannot be forgiven, there is only one punishment he must receive, namely the death penalty. However, the grief ghost and others felt sorry if the hanging ghost had to be destroyed, so they helped in the treatment of internal injuries given by Fu Jiu.Fu Jiu has received everything well, including the treatment of the hanging ghost. But now he is now angered by him again because he has disappeared without saying goodbye to him. Moreover, many ghosts did not know the existence of this hanging ghost."Mourning ghost, go out and look for the hanging ghost until
"Do you have the jade key?""Is it uncle?" Asked Zhang Xiang as he reached for the blue jade key in his hand.Uncle Yebaiyi stared at the object in his hand. After that, he took the object from Zhang Xiang's hand, while Zhang Xiang himself had no problem with everything, he happily handed it over to the Yebaiyi uncle. Then he looked intently at the object that was already in his hand."The thing that many people are fighting over," he murmured softly.After that, Yebaiyi uncle gave the object back to Zhang Xiang and put it back on as the pendant of the necklace."Is the key genuine?" Uncle Jin Long asked.Yebaiyi uncle nodded. "That's right, it is genuine. Have you been to the martial arts storehouse?" Asked the uncle.Zhang Xiang shook his head innocently. "Never uncle, I don't even know where it is. I also didn't initially believe that this necklace was the jade key that people were looking for," he said innocently."From now on, take good care of the jade key. There's no need to go
"Who are you?""First uncle, it's better for you to rest now before we treat the wound on your chest."The first uncle dismissed Zhang Xiang's hand roughly. Suddenly, Zhang Xiang gasped in shock at his first uncle's rude action."What do you mean, uncle? Why are you pushing me away?" he asked.The first uncle looked at uncle Yebaiyi and uncle Jin Long with a displeased look, his face changed when uncle Yebaiyi pulled out the sharp object stuck in his chest earlier. Meanwhile, Uncle Yebaiyi and Jin Long, who heard this, remained silent while looking at the first uncle casually. After that, the first uncle clenched his hands tightly."How many times has uncle told you not to be friends with random people!"Zhang Xiang frowned. "So what?" he asked."Zhang Xiang, it's better to treat your uncle's wound first, afraid of infection later," said uncle Jin Long interjected.Zhang Xiang nodded. "Uncle-""Stop Zhang Xiang! I don't need your help!""But uncle-""Who are they? Why are you with the
"Damn demons!" Zhang Xiang screeched boldly."Brave little boy, I just want that jade key if you are willing to give it then I won't bother you anymore and I will release your first uncle, but if you still insist on keeping the key then be prepared to lose him forever,"Zhang Xiang was silent for a while. Until an action that managed to astonish him was the first uncle who received a sudden attack that made him shocked. A sharp object managed to pierce the first uncle's chest."Arrhh!!! First uncle!" Zhang Xiang shrieked loudly.The first uncle seemed to endure the pain until Zhang Xiang's hands were clenched perfectly while displaying his sharp gaze towards the enraged scorpion demon. But a few seconds later a hand managed to grab his wrist, as he turned his head it was the first uncle who grabbed his hand with difficulty."Uncle,"The first uncle smiled. Soon the scorpion demon looked down at himself with a satisfied smile at the sight of the tormented first uncle."Once again I giv
