Tang Zheng regained consciousness and found that his entire body was in incomparable pain, as if he had fallen apart. It was as if every bone in his body was broken and his muscles were torn apart. He had never tasted this kind of pain before. (Quick update, no ads, coming soon)
He let out a painful groan before he adapted to the pain. Then, he took a deep breath and used a lot of strength to slowly open his eyes. His eyelids were so heavy that it felt like they were filled with lead. When he finally opened his eyes, a dim light entered his vision.
The scene in his field of vision slowly condensed together and projected on his retina. This was a dim wooden house. The wind was blowing all around, and there was light coming in through the cracks in the wood.
Tang Zheng was lying on a cold wooden bed. His body was tied to the bed board by ropes, making him unable to move.
"What's going on? Why am I tied up? Didn't I fall off the cliff with Mu Hongyan? Shouldn't I be dead? Is this the Ghost Realm? "
No, Tang Zheng had heard a little about the Ghost Realm from Tian Chanzi. This was definitely not the Ghost Realm. Moreover, after people died, they became ghosts and were muddle-headed. How could they be as clear-headed as he was? He could still remember everything that happened before, and the feeling of his body was so real.
"I'm not dead!"
Tang Zheng immediately judged this point. Although his whole body was in unbearable pain, this news still made him very excited.
As long as he was not dead, there was still hope.
But who saved him? Why did they help him? And, where was this place?
A series of questions came one after another, and he felt a splitting headache. It seemed that the injury was too serious to even think about it.
"Let's check the condition of my body first."
Tang Zheng hurriedly operated. The True Fire in his sea of consciousness was dim, and the purple flame was half of what it used to be. The True Qi in his body was almost exhausted.
Almost all the bones in his body had different degrees of damage. His arm and leg bones were broken, and several of his ribs were broken. His muscles were also torn, and even his internal organs were shaken and displaced. If he had not used his True Qi to protect the key parts of his body, he was afraid that the situation would be worse.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. His body's condition was unprecedentedly bad. Even if he wasn't tied up, he wouldn't be able to move.
However, the most important thing now was to figure out where he was and whether the person who had saved him was an enemy or a friend. And what about Mu Hongyan?
"Is anyone there?" he called weakly.
Creak!
The door was pushed open, and a young man with a gloomy face walked in. His eyes were like an eagle's, bright and spirited.
"Thank you for saving me. May I ask where this place is?" Tang Zheng finally let out a sigh of relief and asked impatiently.
The young man didn't say a word, looking down at him like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Tang Zheng's head thumped. This look is not good. I didn't do anything bad. Is there a need to be so hostile?
"Hello!" Tang Zheng tried to say hello again.
The young man didn't move, making Tang Zheng wonder if he was a mute. Their eyes met, and after a moment, the young man coldly asked, "Who are you?"
Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief. Since the young man spoke, then there was a way to communicate, so he quickly said, "I am an ordinary person. I fell from the top of a cliff and woke up here. Was it you who saved me? Thank you. Also, I have a companion. I don't know how she is? "
The young man didn't answer.
Tang Zheng secretly felt bad. Could it be that Mu Hongyan died? Then Nanna would become a real orphan.
"She didn't die." The young man suddenly said. Tang Zheng almost rolled his eyes. Can you not speak so slowly? You almost scared me to death.
"You are a liar, not a good person." The young man decisively said.
Tang Zheng was stunned. How did I become a liar? You don't even know me.
"You are lying. You are not an ordinary person." The young man said.
"Not an ordinary person." Tang Zheng's head trembled, and his face became serious. Could it be that the other party discovered something? He didn't have time to think about this problem when a burst of footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer. He saw an old man surrounded by a group of people walk in.
This old man had a head full of snow white hair and a long beard. His face was full of wrinkles and his face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were full of wisdom, as if they could see through people's hearts.
The old man sat down in front of the bed and stared at Tang Zheng without blinking. He asked in an amiable manner: "This little brother, you fell off the cliff and were saved by my clansmen when they were hunting. Now you are safe."
Tang Zheng said that he was afraid it might not be safe, but after all, it was the other party who saved him. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving my life."
"I have a few questions to ask little brother." The old man politely said.
Tang Zheng was a fish on the chopping block, so he naturally couldn't refuse. He softly said, "Please ask."
"Is this your sword?" The old man took out a sword from behind him and asked.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. This was his War Soul Sword. He didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the other party, but he was relieved. At least the War Soul Sword was not lost, otherwise he would have suffered a great loss.
Seeing the other party ask about the War Soul Sword so seriously, Tang Zheng hesitated. Should he admit that this was his sword or not?
"The elder asked you a question. Why are you hesitating? You must be thinking of how to lie. Elder, this person is definitely not a good person. You must not believe his words. "The young man from before said with hostility.
The elder turned a deaf ear and still looked at Tang Zheng without batting an eyelid, waiting for his answer. Even the people behind him held their breaths and looked at Tang Zheng at the same time.
Being looked at by so many complicated eyes, Tang Zheng felt an indescribable pressure. He didn't know the consequences of admitting or not, and he couldn't figure out the other party's background.
In the end, he hesitated for a long time and decided to tell the truth, "This is my sword."
The elder's eyebrows showed a trace of undetectable excitement, but it was caught by Tang Zheng. He knew that he had made the right bet.
"Then may I ask who little brother is?" The elder asked again.
The young man quickly said, "Elder, I have already asked him this question. He did not tell the truth and said that he was an ordinary person."
The elder waved his hand, indicating that the other party should not speak. He then looked at Tang Zheng, waiting for his answer.
Tang Zheng was puzzled. How should he answer this question? What was the other party's intention?
"I am just an ordinary person who accidentally fell off the cliff with a friend."
A light flashed in the elder's eyes as he said, "If little brother is just an ordinary person, then I am powerless. Your injuries will cripple you for the rest of your life, and you will lie in bed for the rest of your life. Then you can only stay here until you die of old age."
Tang Zheng knew that his injuries were very serious, but according to his words, he had still underestimated the severity of his injuries. More importantly, the other party seemed to be preparing to leave him behind and lie in bed for the rest of his life. Tang Zheng did not dare to imagine what kind of life that would be.
Moreover, he still had to take care of his grandfather, stay with Fang Shishi, and Ordinary Balance's huge career. All of this made it impossible for him to stay out of it and be a cripple here.
However, he still could not figure out what the other party wanted to hear. Could it be that the other party had discovered some clues from the War Soul Sword?
Logically speaking, in the eyes of ordinary people, the War Soul Sword was only a little sharper and could be considered a treasure sword. Unless one could tell that the War Soul Sword was a magic treasure, it would not be able to attract such attention.
"I want to see my friend first." In the end, Tang Zheng did not reveal his identity as a cultivator. This identity was too important, if the other party was an enemy, then he could forget about living. Therefore, he was prepared to delay for a period of time and observe the situation here first.
The elder smiled. "Sure, I'm not in a hurry to know the answer. It won't be too late for you to tell me when you've thought it through. However, you can't drag this on for too long, otherwise you'll end up with a chronic illness for the rest of your life." After pausing for a moment, he turned to the young man and said, "Ah Yuan, take him to see his friend later."
"Yes, Elder." Ah Yuan respectfully accepted the order.
The elder brought the War Soul Sword and the others out of the small wooden house. Only Tang Zheng and Ah Yuan were left in the room. Ah Yuan obviously did not have a good expression on his face towards Tang Zheng. With a gloomy face, he said, "No matter how glib your tongue is, I will not believe you. You better not have any bad ideas, otherwise I will mercilessly break your head."
Tang Zheng smiled bitterly. "I'm about to become a cripple, what bad ideas can I have?"
Ah Yuan coldly snorted, as if he agreed with his words.
"Please untie the rope and help me to see my friend." Tang Zheng said.
"Why do you want to untie the rope? Let me tell you, if you don't tell the truth, don't even think about getting me to untie the rope. "
"Then how am I supposed to meet my friend? You can't just tie me to the bed and carry me there." Tang Zheng said doubtfully.
"You want to lift your small body? You're simply insulting me." Ah Yuan was indignant. Then, he grabbed the wooden bed with one hand and gently lifted it up.
Even though Tang Zheng's nerves were thick, he couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch when he saw this scene.
If he didn't circulate his energy, he wouldn't be able to lift such a heavy thing with one hand with just his physical strength. However, if he circulated his energy, his strength would increase explosively, so it was possible for him to do so.
However, the key point was that this Ah Yuan didn't feel any true qi or inner strength fluctuations from his body. This was very terrifying.
Tang Zheng couldn't help but mutter to himself. Just who was the other party? And that elder, although he didn't look much different from an ordinary old man, to be able to make this Ah Yuan be so respectful, he couldn't be an ordinary person.
In short, the identities of this group of people were extremely mysterious, and now that he had become their captive, it was hard to predict his fate.
Looking at the surprise in Tang Zheng's eyes, a trace of pride flashed across Ah Yuan's eyes. He said, "I am the most powerful person in the younger generation of our clan. If you dare to act rashly, I will kill you easier than killing an ant."
As he spoke, Ah Yuan walked out of the wooden house with the wooden bed.
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. Tang Zheng subconsciously closed his eyes. After adapting to the sunlight, he slowly opened his eyes again and couldn't help but be dumbstruck.
