Two years ago, Chen Zhizhong was just an ordinary martial artist, not even a second-rate expert. At most, he could only bully those local ruffians. However, after two years of cultivation, his cultivation realm had been constantly improving and he had now broken through to the late-stage of Foundation Establishment. Killing martial arts grandmasters was absolutely as easy as crushing ants.
"Master …"
Chen Zhizhong wanted to say something but hesitated, his face full of hesitation.
Tan Xiu seemed to have seen through his thoughts and raised his brows. "You don't have confidence in yourself, do you? You're absolutely certain that the other party is an expert from the state's Special Abilities Bureau, so you don't dare to fight them?"
"A little bit, indeed," said Chen Zhizhong with a forced smile. "I was just a businessman before, after all, and those people are the armed forces of the state. Even if I want to, the consequences will be unimaginable if they don't listen to my command at the critical moment."
"You said that you were a businessman before, but now your identity is different," said Tan Xiu in a deep voice. "You're a cultivator now, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator at that stage. In my eyes, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is as weak as an ant, but in the eyes of others, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is definitely a God. Let me tell you something, there are no more than five ability users in the entire Special Abilities Bureau who can defeat you in a one-on-one fight. "
Chen Zhizhong's eyes lit up and confidence suddenly rose inside him. He looked at Tan Xiu's serious expression and gritted his teeth. "I won't let you down, Master."
A smile finally appeared on Tan Xiu's face. "You must always remember that you're no longer who you used to be, Zhizhong. Don't limit your world to the business world, let alone the country. You're my disciple, so your vision can't be limited to this Earth. There are countless races in the vast universe, and there is a higher plane above our universe. There are hundreds of millions of races and trillions of lives in that higher plane, among which there are countless powerhouses who can destroy the world with a flick of their fingers. In the future, you'll have to face those Gods and Immortals, not the common people on Earth. "
Hiss …
Chen Zhizhong couldn't help but gasp. This was the first time he heard such a shocking statement from Tan Xiu.
"Mas … Master, could it be that what you said is true? There are countless aliens in our universe? What about the higher planes? Is there really an existence that can destroy the world with a flick of a finger? "Chen Zhizhong's voice was trembling. There was anticipation and fear in his tone.
Tan Xiu sighed in his heart. He found that since Chen Zhizhong became his disciple, he had not given much guidance to Chen Zhizhong. He had even told him very little about the Cultivation World and the higher level of things. Lighting up another cigarette, Tan Xiu said, "Zhizhong, your company's affairs should have been handed over to your son, right? You … you're wrong! "
Tan Xiu's expression suddenly changed, and a strong killing intent emerged in his eyes. He instantly grabbed Chen Zhizhong's neck, and a sharp dagger was pressed against his heart.
"Mas … Master."
Chen Zhizhong revealed a look of disbelief. He simply couldn't believe that Tan Xiu would suddenly attack him.
"Stretch out your wrist," said Tan Xiu coldly.
Upon hearing it, Chen Zhizhong immediately stretched out his left wrist. He could feel that the sharp dagger was taken away by Tan Xiu from his heart. His expression relaxed a bit.
Tan Xiu put away the dagger and grasped Chen Zhizhong's pulse. What made him angry was that someone had placed a seal inside Chen Zhizhong's body. Not only could this seal shield Chen Zhizhong's own power, but it could also affect his spiritual sense, causing his spiritual sense to be trapped in his sea of consciousness, causing a huge gap in his memory.
"Master!"
Chen Zhizhong cautiously called out.
Tan Xiu loosened his grip on Chen Zhizhong's neck. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Who have you seen after leaving Kunlun Mountain? Can you remember who has done something to you? "
Chen Zhizhong looked confused as he shook his head and said, "No! After returning to Star City, I immediately arranged the company's affairs and handed over all the big and small matters to my son. Every day … huh? How come I can't remember anything? What am I doing every night? "
Tan Xiu loosened his grip on Chen Zhizhong's wrist and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
Liangang City.
The Blue Ocean Golden Metropolis Hotel was located in the city's new development district, a bustling area. It was a 24-story hotel building with a presidential suite on the 20th floor, which was the most expensive hotel in Liangang City.
Inside the presidential suite 2045, the room was pitch-black. The window was open, and the cold wind blew in from the outside. Two figures flashed lightning-fast and entered through the window. Tang Xiu's handsome face was illuminated by a lighter as he lit a cigarette.
"We can get a room directly, Master."
Chen Zhizhong couldn't figure out why Tan Xiu didn't want to get a room but sneaked into this presidential suite instead. It must be noted that he had brought a group of men to this hotel and stayed in the 19th floor, where he had a room.
"The entire Liangang City should be under the surveillance of the Darkwind's intel operatives." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, Wen Feng already got the news of your arrival the moment you stepped into Liangang City. It's very likely that there are many intel operatives of the Darkwind organization lurking in the dark in this hotel. Once the news of me coming back is leaked, I'm afraid they will start investigating my whereabouts. "
"What's wrong with me, Master?" asked Chen Zhizhong in a flash. "I can't remember what I've been doing every night on the way here. I don't even know where I've been every night."
"Someone did something to your body. Although they didn't completely seal your cultivation, the restriction technique they used was very clever. You could have lived safe and sound for about three months at most if I hadn't discovered it in time," said Tang Xiu lightly. But after three months, your internal organs will begin to fester, and your meridians will break bit by bit. At that time, no one will be able to save you unless a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven descends to the mortal world. Further, your memory has been affected by the restriction, causing you to forget a lot of important things. "
Chen Zhizhong's face turned pale and fear could be seen in his eyes. After Tan Xiu finished speaking, he stammered, "M-Master, you're right. I … I've been feeling that my memory has been deteriorating recently and I can't remember a lot of things. It turns out that someone has done something to me. "
Tan Xiu pointed to the ground in front of him and said, "Sit down cross-legged. I'll help you remove the restriction in your body. Also, I need some Serene Articulation Grass to awaken your sealed memories."
Chen Zhizhong hurriedly sat cross-legged in front of Tan Xiu and asked, "What kind of medicinal herb is this Serene Articulation Grass, Master? How come I've never heard of it before? "
"You really haven't heard of it. It's because the Serene Articulation Grass is not a medicinal herb, but a plant that can cause serious harm to the human body," said Tan Xiu lightly. "Only poison masters who like to refine poisons will pay attention to this plant. They will extract its internal essence and mix it with the Serpent Dragon Pill to form a terrifying toxin."
"Where can I find the Serene Articulation Grass?" asked Chen Zhizhong.
"You don't need to worry about the Serene Articulation Grass," said Tan Xiu. "If nothing unexpected happens, someone will send it to you by tomorrow evening at the latest."
Having said that …
Tan Xiu reached out to press Chen Zhizhong's head and cast a secret technique. It only took him a few minutes to remove the restriction in his body.
Liangang City, Golden Coast Private Club.
A faint fragrance of jasmine pervaded the air in an exquisite garden house. A thin and pale old man with a head full of white hair was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat in cultivation. Suddenly, his body slightly trembled and he violently spurted out a mouthful of blood. As his eyes suddenly opened, a strong killing intent emerged in his eyes.
"It was broken?"
The old man's thin body floated up and instantly appeared at the window. He looked at the swaying shadows of the trees in the dark night outside and slightly clenched his fists.
Bam …
With just a punch, the entire window was blasted out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous lightning-fast silhouettes dashed over from all directions. In just a few breaths, there were already dozens of men dressed in black and wearing black masks appearing outside the window.
"What happened, Elder Wei?"
Wen Feng, who was wearing pajamas and slippers, flashed from a distance and looked at the old man with a face full of killing intent. His heart suddenly trembled and he respectfully asked.
"Someone broke the restriction I cast on Chen Zhizhong's body," said Elder Wei with a heavy tone.
Wen Feng looked surprised and said, "Elder Wei, didn't you say that no one in this world can break the restriction you cast on Chen Zhizhong's body except for you? Only a little time has passed, how come … "
"SHUT UP!"
Elder Wei glared at Wen Feng with eyes full of killing intent. If Wen Feng dared to say another word, he would definitely kill him immediately even if he belonged to the same organization as Wen Feng.
Wen Feng's breath stagnated. Although he was angry inwardly, he still looked respectful on the surface. Others might not know how terrifying and ruthless this Elder Wei was, but he was perfectly aware of it. At least a few of the brothers who came out of the training camp with him in the past had died in the hands of this old man.
Elder Wei gasped for a few breaths and his murderous eyes moved away from Wen Feng. He looked at the direction of Star City and coldly said, "The restriction I cast on Chen Zhizhong's body can't be easily broken even by a Nascent Soul Stage expert, unless they are proficient in the secret arts of my sect and are proficient in breaking restrictions. Tell me, is there any powerhouse around Chen Zhizhong? "
Wen Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "I sent some people to investigate Chen Zhizhong some time ago and found that there is indeed an expert around him. However, he's just a young man in his twenties. Even if he's very powerful, he shouldn't be that powerful, right? "
