When Zhou Wen saw this scene, he knew that Charlie was probably in trouble.
The abilities of his book and cross were indeed somewhat powerful, but he didn't know that the mask itself wasn't the main point. Destroying the mask was useless. Instead, it might put him in danger.
Indeed, after a commotion in the Fiend Tomb, grayish-white dust suddenly spewed out.
When Charlie saw the dust, his expression changed slightly. The book and cross in his hand bloomed with light again, hoping to repel the dust. However, the dust was like smoke. When he repelled the smoke on one side, the other side swept up and sprayed Charlie's face.
Everything happened too quickly. Even the Cape family didn't have the time to stop it. By the time they reacted, the dust had already condensed into a mask on Charlie's face.
When the Cape family rushed forward to help Charlie, the cross in Charlie's hand emitted a shocking glow as it stabbed the two Cape family members who wanted to help him.
The two of them were caught off guard. After being injured by Charlie, they fell onto the Fiend Stone ground. Soon, their bodies turned into Fiend Stones. Instantly, everyone was horrified.
Charlie, who was controlled by the Ghoul Mask, didn't care. He brandished the book and cross in his hand and charged at the humans on the stone platform.
Zhang Chunqiu suddenly attacked. His sword slashed out like a stream of light, instantly shattering the mask on Charlie's face. However, it didn't injure his face. The exquisiteness of his sword technique was truly astonishing.
However, it was useless. The shattered mask quickly gathered together and transformed back into a mask that covered Charlie's face.
Everyone fought Charlie, but they couldn't injure him. However, attacking the mask on his face was useless. Instantly, everyone fell into chaos.
Finally, Zhang Siyou produced a talisman and pasted it on the Ghoul Mask, causing Charlie to stand there motionless. However, the mask couldn't be removed from his face.
The Cape family thought of many solutions, but they failed to remove the mask. All they could do was seek Zhang Siyou's help.
Zhang Siyou said, "My Mythical Ghost Suppression Talisman can only suppress it, but it can't completely destroy it. Furthermore, this mask is very strange. It's useless to shatter it. I can't do anything about it either. I can only think of other solutions."
This outcome was naturally within Zhou Wen's expectations. The Ghoul Mask wasn't the main point. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible to kill it. All he could do was dig up the grave and destroy the face pattern beneath.
The Zhang family cast their gazes at Moses, naturally hoping that he could remove the mask. However, Moses shook his head and said, "If I had attacked from the beginning and completely destroyed the mask, there might have been a chance. Now, the mask is already on Charlie's face. My Guardian is too powerful. Even if a single strike can destroy the mask, Charlie won't be spared. "
The Zhang family and the Cape family were in a dilemma. No one could get rid of the mask on Charlie's face without harming him. However, if they did not get rid of the mask, the problem of the Fiend Tomb could not be resolved.
Zhang Chunqiu saw Zhou Wen standing by the side and watching everything happen with an abnormally calm expression. His heart stirred as he asked Zhou Wen, "Zhou Wen, do you have a way to resolve the mask without harming Charlie?"
As everyone fell silent, they looked at the two of them when they heard Zhang Chunqiu's question.
Zhou Wen answered, "Yes, but I'll still say the same thing. I'm not as capable as Charlie and company. If you want me to resolve the problem, you have to dig up the Fiend Tomb."
"Why are you still spouting nonsense at a time like this? The mask has already been lured out. Why are you still digging up the Fiend Tomb?" Uncle Zhang said.
As a conservative member of the Zhang family, he was most unwilling to dig up the Fiend Tomb.
Zhou Wen was helpless as well. This was the result of unequal information. What was common sense to him was a mysterious and unknown power to the Zhang family. They were too afraid of the Fiend Tomb, afraid that the Zhang family would be wiped out once the Fiend Tomb was dug up. Therefore, they strongly opposed it.
"Uncle, Zhou Wen isn't someone who speaks without reason. He must have his reasons for saying that." Zhang Chunqiu and Dugu Ge had seen Zhou Wen's strength outside Forbidden City and knew that he was extraordinary.
Furthermore, back then, everyone believed that Zhou Wen and Old Master Xia were trapped in Forbidden City. No one had seen him come out, but they never expected him to return to Luoyang safely. Old Master Xia had disappeared. Zhang Chunqiu knew that he couldn't do such a thing.
"The truth is right in front of us. What reason is there?" Uncle Zhang said coldly.
"Celestial Master, the Fiend Tomb's influence on our Zhang family is getting worse. If we can't resolve it completely, I'm afraid that in a few years, our Zhang family will be wiped out even if there are no disasters. At this point, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, why don't we let Zhou Wen give it a try? I believe he can resolve the problem without alarming Ba. Celestial Master, please give him a chance. Also, give our Zhang family's descendants a chance, "Zhang Chunqiu said as he bowed in front of Zhang Siyou.
"Chunqiu, what are you doing? There's no need to dig up the Fiend Tomb to get rid of that mask. We are only worried about Charlie's life and death, which is why we are helpless … "Uncle Zhang was immediately enraged.
"Now that things have come to this, I don't think I can hold back. If Celestial Master is willing to let my Guardian take action, I guarantee that I can destroy the mask. However, I can't guarantee Charlie's life," Moses said from the side.
"Moses … How dare you …" The Cape family glared at each other.
"Stop talking." After Zhang Siyou spoke, everyone fell silent and looked at him. Zhang Siyou was still the one in charge here.
"Zhou Wen, how confident are you?" Zhang Siyou looked at Zhang Chunqiu, who was bowing in front of him, and asked Zhou Wen.
"I was only 70% confident previously, but now that I've seen the mask's abilities, I'm 90% confident," Zhou Wen said.
"Do you need anything?" Zhang Siyou asked again.
"No, one person is enough," Zhou Wen answered.
"Alright, let's do it. If we succeed, the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg will be yours," Zhang Siyou said with a nod.
"Celestial Master, we can't dig up the Fiend Tomb …" Uncle Zhang said anxiously.
"Brother, I've already made up my mind on this matter. There's no need to say anything else," Zhang Siyou said calmly.
Uncle Zhang stomped his feet in anger. "Have you forgotten the ancestral Celestial Master's teachings? Digging up the Fiend Tomb is a calamity for our Zhang family! "
"Zhou Wen, why aren't you doing it?" Zhang Chunqiu pretended not to hear his uncle's indignant words as he got up and pushed Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen no longer had any qualms as he summoned Tyrant Behemoth. With a boom, Tyrant Behemoth's majestic body landed in front of the Fiend Tomb.
"Tyrant Behemoth … That's actually Zhou Wen's Companion Beast …" Apart from the Zhang family, who already knew about it, the other families were alarmed.
After all, it was a powerful existence ranked fourth on the previous rankings. In fact, although Tyrant Behemoth was ranked fourth, it had never lost.
