C414 The Zhang Family's Pain
Not long after, Zhang Haorann brought Faang Yingxue back to the second floor of the tower.
The two of them stepped on their swords and flew away. The Yin Yang Eye found the hidden door in the clouds in the sky and left the second floor of the tower through it.
The journey went smoothly. Outside the Water Spirit Land, Zhang Haorann saw Zhu Tianloong, who had been waiting bitterly all this time.
"Pavilion Master Zhu, are you still waiting here?" Zhang Haorann was confused.
"I was afraid that something would happen inside, so I came here every day to take a look." As Zhu Tianloong spoke, he looked at Faang Yingxue, who was still unharmed, and thought to himself, "As expected of Master Zhang. He can even walk in and out of this incredibly dangerous place with an ordinary person."
"Pavilion Master Zhu, I have something to take care of. Thank you for helping me open the door to the Water Spirit Land." Zhang Haorann said gratefully.
"Master Zhang is too polite." Zhu Tianloong laughed and said, "Anyway, if you come over in the future, you can come over anytime you want."
Zhang Haorann nodded and didn't say anything more. He left with Faang Yingxue on his sword.
Back at the Tian Wu Hotel.
The first thing Faang Yingxue did was take a shower and change her clothes.
Zhang Haorann was sizing up the Seven-blood Vermilion Pill. This thing was the Low Rank High Grade's Universe Spiritual Treasure, if not for Zhang Haorann using two types of True Fire to refine the Seven-blood Vermilion Pill within the span of seven days, he probably would still be waiting at the Empty Cicada Hall.
"I wonder how is the situation in Beijing." Zhang Haorann thought like this.
Yan Jing.
Something happened to his Zhang Family.
In such a big house with Zhang Family, all the important people were there.
Patriarch Zhang Xianhu was lying on the sickbed, with the rest of the family protecting him on the side.
The late stage of Freezing Human sickness made Zhang Xianhu's appearance look incredibly ancient, and made the people of Zhang Family look both anxious and sad at the same time.
Zhang Xianhu had lived for a lifetime, yet at the last moment, he had to suffer the punishment of a "bloodline curse." Many Zhang Family people who were respectful to Zhang Xianhu cursed the people who went to the Kunlun Divine Palace first a few times in their hearts, making the future generation of Zhang Family people suffer greatly.
It had already happened. The symptoms of hypothermia caused Zhang Xianhu to lose all of his vitality and his organs to collapse.
Zhang Xianhu had three sons and a daughter.
Zhang Penglan, Zhang Pengpei, Zhang Pengde, Zhang Yuhua.
Zhang Pengpei was in charge of cultivating the cultivators in the Zhang Family. However, there were very few cultivators in the Zhang Family, and there were only two half-Immortals. Zhang Haigang was one of them, and Zhang Fei was the other.
Zhang Yuhua was taking care of the daily affairs of the Zhang Family.
Some of the Zhang Family people discussed in low voices.
"With the Patriarch's current state, there's nothing we can do."
"It would be good if the Suen Family could bring out their family's treasure, the Seven-blood Vermilion Pill."
"How could that be? That Suen Family is so petty, don't forget that it's not like Zhang Haigang hasn't asked for Suen Family in the past few days.
"You can't blame Suen Family. If Zhang Pengde had married Suen Family back then, how could something like this have happened?"
"When the Patriarch had just gotten frostbite, the people from the Zhang Family had also found the Universe Spiritual Treasure. However, the Patriarch was unable to cultivate and could not channel the energy in his body to become a Immortal Cultivation Tao Body. Thus, the most effective method was completely useless."
"Our Zhang Family is the last in the four underworld clans of Yan Jing. If it weren't for the bloodline curse that destroys too many of our young geniuses, how would we have ended up like this?"
"That's right, a hundred years ago, many Daoists came from our Zhang Family, and some of them were even Half Immortals."
Everyone in Zhang Family sighed.
The Bloodline Curse was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
A normal person with Zhang Family would have a 20% chance of receiving a bloodline curse, causing their illness to gradually freeze. Only by passing through the Universe Spiritual Treasure and becoming a Immortal Cultivation Tao Body, would they be able to recover.
The Universe Spiritual Treasure s of Low Rank Middle Grade could make the person of Zhang Family become a half-immortal. Unfortunately, gradually freezing person's illness would often break out, causing the person of Zhang Family who swallowed the Universe Spiritual Treasure to be unprepared and unable to channel their energy, causing their body to explode and die.
Suen Family could originally help Zhang Family, but in the end, due to the events of the past, Suen Family and Zhang Family broke down.
Although the probability was only twenty percent, it was still able to cause an unimaginable panic in the Zhang Family.
As of now, the Zhang Family of the Four hidden families were on the verge of collapsing due to the serious illness of Patriarch Zhang Xianhu.
There were no new half-Immortals in the clan. There were still people dying, and the vitality of the Zhang Family had been severely damaged.
"Hai Gang, why hasn't your dad come yet?" Zhang Yuhua asked softly from the side of the bed.
"Aunt, after my dad came to Beijing, he said that he would come see grandpa. However, dad suddenly changed his plan and said that he wouldn't come for now." Zhang Haigang smiled bitterly. His smile was filled with anger but also helplessness.
However, Zhang Pengde didn't come.
The reason why Zhang Pengde didn't come was because of these Zhang Family people.
A few days ago, when Zhang Pengde arrived at Zhang Family, he was prepared to meet Zhang Xianhu. However, news spread from within the Zhang Family, and it was extremely repulsive for Zhang Pengde to come here. It was all because of Zhang Pengde that said Zhang Xianhu became like this.
This brought a lot of pressure to Zhang Pengde. He would rather rent a house with Fong Hui outside of Zhang Family than take a step into the Zhang Family mansion.
"It's fine if he doesn't come." The one who spoke was Zhang Xianhu's eldest son, Zhang Penglan. This person's face was full of smiles, but when he mentioned Zhang Pengde, his face was filled with disdain, "He's a traitor of Zhang Family, whether he comes or he likes. If he says something sarcastic because of the Zhang Family people, then he might see the Patriarch.
Zhang Haigang frowned. He was about to retort, but then he heard Zhang Pengpei speak as well.
"Brother, you can't blame Zhang Pengde. It was difficult for him to come back, so the psychological pressure must be huge. If we can tolerate him a little, maybe Patriarch will see Zhang Pengde right now."
Zhang Penglan said coldly, "You sure know how to talk. You always stand in a neutral position. Speak up for whoever can't do it."
Zhang Pengpei chuckled dryly.
Suddenly, someone sent a message over saying that Zhang Pengde had gone to Suen Family.
"He's really going to the Suen Family?" Zhang Penglan repeatedly asked the Zhang Family person that sent the message.
"It's been confirmed. Zhang Pengde has gone to the Suen Family."
"Hmph, he still has the face to go to the Suen Family!" "Quick, send Zhang Fei to stop him!"
"That's not so good." The Zhang Family man said as he carefully sized Zhang Haigang up.
There were two Half Immortals in Zhang Family. One was Zhang Fei, and the other was Zhang Haigang.
Zhang Fei was First Grade Half-immortal, Zhang Haigang was Second Grade Half-immortal.
Now that Zhang Penglan asked Zhang Fei to stop Zhang Pengde, this sentence was said in front of Zhang Haigang.
"This is my dad's choice, no one can interfere." Zhang Haigang said with an unquestionable tone.
Zhang Penglan stared at him and said, "Hai Gang, this is a plot by the Suen Family. You intentionally let Zhang Pengde sign his name and apologize to the Suen Family, what do you think should be done about the reputation of the Zhang Family after this?"
"Is reputation comparable to grandpa's life?"
"But that's your father! Don't tell me he doesn't want face? "
Zhang Penglan growled.
"That is his choice, I have no way to interfere." Zhang Haigang said calmly.
Wu Tie pointed at Zhang Haigang in anger and was speechless.
"Good, good, good!"
"One is Zhang Haigang, one is Zhang Pengde, and the other is Zhang Haorann. You three don't care about Zhang Family's reputation, you shouldn't appear in Zhang Family!" Zhang Penglan was flustered and exasperated.
In the room, the people from the Zhang Family were silent.
Zhang Pengde disregarded Zhang Family's dignity, and went towards Suen Family to admit his wrongs and ask for medicine.
Not only did Zhang Haigang not stop them, he also threatened the people from the Zhang Family not to interfere.
As for Zhang Haorann, after the straight-A student from Sleeping Dragon High School had taken the entrance exams, the Beijing Zhang Family had sent someone to deliver a message through Zhang Pengde, allowing Zhang Haorann to study at a university in Yan Jing so that he could be nurtured by the Zhang Family.
However, Zhang Haorann had run up to the Donghai University.
"face of the Zhang Family?" Zhang Haigang mocked, "You wanted me to leave the Zhang Family, so my Zhang Family is lacking by one. It shouldn't be a good idea to tell others."
Zhang Penglan said anxiously, "What's wrong?" We don't need Half Immortal, we don't need Daoists, we don't need to cultivate. Our Zhang Family is cursed by the bloodline, we shouldn't have gone to that damned Kunlun Divine Palace, do you understand? "
The Zhang Family people did not dare to speak out after hearing Zhang Pengde's words.
"Since you've said this, then I'll leave the Zhang Family." Zhang Haigang sighed. He didn't want to argue with Zhang Penglan here.
Seeing that Zhang Haigang was about to turn around and leave, a hint of ridicule flashed past Zhang Penglan's eyes. So what if you have Second Grade Half-immortal?
Just as he turned around, Zhang Haigang's phone rang.
The call connected.
"What, you really did it!" Zhang Haigang seemed to have heard something, he took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Alright, alright, I got it, you can come over now. I'll text the address to you, send me a message when you're almost here, I'll wait for you in advance."
Zhang Haigang looked at Zhang Xianhu. The old man was on the verge of death, and occasionally he opened his eyes to look at the world, repeating the same name. Everyone in Zhang Family knew what the old man was thinking about.
After Zhang Haigang left, the ward became quiet.
"Big Brother, you were too unworthy of talking just now. Hai Gang is our clan's reliance and our Second Grade Half-immortal, how can he rush out like you?" Zhang Yuhua asked.
"What's wrong with the Second Grade Half-immortal? There's no need for the Zhang Family." Zhang Penglan said indifferently, "I said that we have to change the development strategy of Zhang Family in the future, and pay attention to business development. Don't bother with cultivation anymore, that kind of thing isn't suitable for Zhang Family, it's not suitable for us!"
Zhang Yuhua looked at Zhang Xianhu with an uncomfortable expression.
According to the past, Zhang Xianhu's birthday would come in a few days. At this time, whether it was the underworld clans or the other business clans that Zhang Family knew, they would all give him a big gift and congratulations, giving him face and respect.
However, in these past few years, as Zhang Xianhu became seriously ill, his birthday was ignored by people of Zhang Family. The number of guests visiting were as few as sparrows.
Zhang Yuhua's heart was extremely complicated, and he felt disgusted.
