Chapter 1220: The Incense Lighting Ceremony
Large tears gushed from my eyes.
A tremendous fear filled my heart. I truly cannot bear to lose any one of them.
"At least we know Su Chongwen won’t harm them within three days," Zhang Che knelt and wiped my tears, his eyes full of gentleness.
I shook my head vigorously, my voice hoarse, "No, it’s not that simple, Uncle Che."
"What’s wrong?" Zhang Che asked patiently.
Having someone to confide in gave me a faint sense of stability, "All three of them are incredibly important to me, yet he kidnapped them all."
When I was little, Su Chongwen was already dead.
I don’t know anything about Su Chongwen, but I’ve seen plenty of his ruthless deeds.
Even if I had the slightest understanding of his temperament, I could predict the situation Yu Longting and the others are in.
The most terrifying thing is this unknown. Has Su Chongwen already started killing?
Zhang Che thought for a moment and asked me, "Do you think it’s possible that Su Chongwen might kill one or two, just illogically?"
"More or less... I don’t know if Zhang Che was trying to comfort me or discourage me.
Displaying such a bloody reality so plainly before me.
Zhang Che nodded in understanding and solemnly told me, "If he’s really that kind of madman, at least one person will be alive after three days. We have to strive for that person."
"..." I stared blankly, with wide eyes, feeling my heart shatter.
Even before experiencing the outcome, I’ve already endured the greatest sorrow.
Zhang Che touched the top of my head, "What? You think I said something wrong?"
"You’re... not wrong," I slowly uttered the three words.
Though his words were brutal, there wasn’t a trace of fault...
No matter how insane Su Chongwen gets, he will definitely leave one person alive, to hold me at bay after three days.
Supposedly, Su Chongwen obtained the highest director position in the Arbitration Council.
He should stay in the council, but he planted Gu Insects in the bodies of the higher-ups.
Without having to show up himself, there will be people working for him.
Coupled with his extraordinary powers now, we can’t possibly find him within three days.
Even if we did, he has hostages, leaving us at a disadvantage.
The only option is to wait until three days have passed, until Zhang Zidao leaves.
During these three days, Zhang Che will find ways to collect clues, then discuss with Zhang Zidao to pinpoint Su Chongwen’s weaknesses.
The next day, the Zhang Family Celestial Master Sect held a mass incense ceremony.
Zhang Zidao brought me before the crowd, announcing that I was his final disciple.
He had me use a fire charm to summon a Fire Phoenix with Sharp Gold Aura, for everyone present to see.
And he made Zhang Shuying and me take a blood oath, that my offspring must be wed to one of Zhang Shuying’s offspring.
Initially, I faced opposition from the entire family, but with Zhang Shuying’s oath.
He deftly neutralized all opposition and turned Zhang Shuying into a prized catch.
No one dared to matchmake me with men anymore; instead, they found excuses to send women to Zhang Shuying.
The clan elders eagerly introduced women to Zhang Shuying and then started exchanging pleasantries with me, many astonished at how I managed to cultivate Mixed Yuan Sharp Gold Qi.
I said I didn’t know how I cultivated it, while they responded with a knowing look.
They claimed to know the Inner Gate secrets, and that they were unqualified to ask more questions.
"Wanwan, I really didn’t expect, the ancestor truly passed all his skills to you," Zhang Che said gravely, after I finished exchanging pleasantries with the clan elders, he whispered to me, "In these hundreds of years, those he chose as successors only learned the basics."
