"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 eyes around to see who it belonged to. A few seconds later, a fan flew into the air past Jin Long's neck. Jin Long swiftly pulled Zhang Xiang behind him in case there was another impromptu attack. Until a few seconds later, a young man in a purple robe came over while waving the kipads that were already in his hand.The darkness made it impossible to see the man's face clearly, but judging from his current appearance, he was not just any young man. Even judging by the way he plays the fan, it's not just any fan. It turned out that the young man was not alone; a few seconds later, two bodyguard soldiers in strange clothes stood beside the purple-robed young man.Zhang Xiang, who was standing behind Jin Long, took a peek at the young man out of curiosity."Uncle, who are they?"Jin Long didn't answer Zhang Xiang's question; he focused on staring at the young man who was originally standing across from him and now came closer, standing in front of him. Without any preparation, the purple-robed youth attacked Jin Long, and Jin Long happily engaged him, and the battle lasted for several minutes. Jin Long hasn't brought out his signature white sword yet, only using some of the moves he's learned before, until all the moves he's mastered are almost used up, and then he's about to bring out his sword, only for the purple-robed youth to stop the action. He stood right in front of Jin Long and touched his shoulder, but Jin Long immediately brushed him off."Who are you?" asked Jin Long as he stood guard."I should ask, who are you? How dare you come to the ghost forest? Are you tired of living?"Jin Long frowned. He had vaguely heard the term ghost valley cave. Does it have anything to do with the ghost forest? Then Jin Long looked at the two young men following him—two young men dressed in all-black robes with white masks and dalip marks on the front of their chests. Like a ghost, it made Jin Long believe that the two of them were trapped in a ghost forest. And the young man in front of him was the Fu Jiu Yun he had heard about before."Fu Jiu Yun!""Hahahah!!! Jin Long, you seem to recognize me," said the purple-robed young man called Fu Jiu Yun, walking toward Jin Long. But Jin Long and Zhang Xiang quickly stepped back to keep watch."Don't you dare touch me!""Tsk! Apparently you're arrogant.""But your martial arts knowledge is good too; judging from the moves you used, I seem to recognize them," said the young man named Fu Jiu Yun.Jin Long let out a smirk. "Don't be a smartass.""Beggar, life-defeating cavalier!" muttered Fu Jiu Yun.Hearing that, Jin Long was instantly dumbfounded. He glanced at Zhang Xiang, who was listening to their conversation. Since Jin Long didn't want the innocent boy to hear more unimportant discussions, Jin Long diverted the conversation by asking Fu Jiu."What do you want from me?"Fu Jiu smiled sarcastically at Jin Long as he shook the fan in his hand."I want to fight with you! I've been waiting for this for a long time!"Jin Long felt challenged by Fu Jiu's words. "Who's afraid?"Fu Jiu smiles devilishly as he prepares the moves he'll use to test Jin Long to see if his assumptions about Jin Long are right or wrong. According to his knowledge, the moves that Jin Long has used are the moves of the beggar sect that he once knew, but Jin Long still does not admit that he is part of the sect. With that, Fu Jiu felt even more curious about the young man in front of him. To strengthen his guess, Fu Jiu chose to test him by fighting. In addition to the moves he will use as the bright spot of his curiosity, the swordplay that is the mainstay of the sect has not been shown by Jin Long.The two of them prepared to both receive and attack each other. Seeing that the vampire demon was still in place, Jin Long was impatient, so he chose to attack first. Apparently the demon was already on guard; indeed, he deliberately waited for the enemy to attack first. Fu Jiu's cunning way was realized by Jin Long; he was increasingly challenged by Fu Jiu's actions, increasingly provoking emotions. Jin Long felt that he was being played by Fu Jiu's fighting moves, which continued to serve him casually without wanting to release his moves, even though Jin Long himself really wanted to see how great Fu Jiu was.As the night wore on, the air grew colder. The wind blew softly, accompanying every blow they made. The dripping sweat didn't seem to bother them; they were equally strong to test their skills in martial arts. Step by step they took, leaving marks on the ground from the movement of their feet.Fu Jiu was disappointed that Jin Long didn't pull out another move, so his gaze fell on a young man who was standing by watching the two of them fight. Who else could it be but Zhang Xiang, who had been standing still while staring at his uncle, who was spitting out moves that he didn't recognize? Even Zhang Xiang himself was dizzy from every move made by Jing Long.While Zhang Xiang was focused on watching the two of them, Fu Jiu attacked Zhang Xiang with lightning-fast movements. Fortunately, Zhang Xiang was aware of the attack, as he had been watching their every move carefully. So Zhang Xiang swiftly dodged the attack from the demon.Jin Long was originally going to help Zhang Xiang, but seeing the way Zhang Xiang avoided the attack made him a little interested. It looked agile, and the steps Zhang Xiang took were not ordinary steps. From here, Jin Long was convinced that there was actually a hidden strength in Zhang Xiang that had never been honed.'Which bloodline is this kid from? It doesn't look like an ordinary child,' Jin Long thought as he observed.Until a few seconds later...Sregg...Bugh..."Akkhhh...!!!""Zhang Xiang!!!""Are you okay?" asked Jin Long worriedly.Zhang Liang held his chest as he nodded. "I'm fine, uncle.""Good! It turns out that this little kid has skills too; I thought he was just a weak little kid."Jin Long didn't care about Fu Jiu's words; he chose to pick Zhang Xiang up and then carry him away from that place immediately. Meanwhile, Fu Jiu was staring at their sudden departure."Hey!!! The fight isn't over yet! I haven't seen your swordplay yet," Fu Jiu shouted."Jin Long! Admit that you're the king of life!" Fu Jiu shouted at the top of his lungs. But Jin Ling didn't hear the shout at all.Continued...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
Secret Room.During the fourteen years that Zhang Xiang lived in the mountain pavilion, Hua San had never once toured the rooms within the pavilion. 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
