Chapter 402 Taking Action
Zhang Hanâs words gradually caused everyone to hold their breath.
They had gone through the process of despair to hope and then back to despair. At this time, they seemed to have hope again.
They didnât know what facial expressions to wear.
If Zhang Han was one of their younger generation, they would scold him: âCanât you finish your speech at one time?â
However, although this man was indirectly regarded as being from their younger generation, he was a Grand Master Late-stage⊠Who dared to treat him as one of the younger generation?
Though they didnât know if Zhang Han was a real martial arts master, they just believed Wang Mingâs introduction and Zhang Hanâs performance.
The people present were not shocked that Zhang Han was so young because they were all worried about Wang Zhanpeng.
Under everyoneâs gaze, Zhang Han said calmly, âThough I have no solution to this array, I can break it.â
âBut the demands are a little harsh,â Zhang Han continued, âI need a yin soul and 99 top-quality jades. Send them here by 11:55 p.m. and Iâll save him. Or you can prepare his funeral.â
All of a suddenâ
As soon as he said that, everyone present was shocked. âYin soul?â
âA yin soul is hardly ever seen in the world. In such a short timeâŠâ Wang Liang began trembling as he was again desperate.
âEven if a yin soul is hard to find, we must find a way!â Wang Zhanzong, Wang Mingâs father, frowned as he said, âMing, contact the Jiuzhuang Taoist Temple and ask them for information about yin souls.â
âLiang, Iâll give you an hour to prepare 99 pieces of top-quality jade!â
ââŠâ
So all these core figures of the Wang family began taking action.
Only Rong Jiaxin, Zhang Han, Wang Zhanzong, and Wang Zhanpeng were left in the bedroom.
âThisâŠâ
Wang Zhanzong made an obeisance to Zhang Han solemnly and then bent slightly. However, he forgot Zhang Hanâs name and didnât know what to say.
âHis name is Zhang Han, my nephew,â Rong Jiaxin reminded him.
âMaster Zhang,â Wang Zhanpeng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, âplease do me a favor for my eldest brother. No matter whether you succeed or not, my whole family will bear your kindness in mind.â
âItâs no matter,â Zhang Han looked at him calmly and said, âItâs just for my aunt. Since you treat her well, Iâd like to help you.â
Wang Zhanzong was stunned, and then gave him a wry smile. âItâs a blessing for my family to marry Jiaxin.â
âSo donât stand on ceremony, Mr. Wang.â Zhang Han smiled.
Zhang Hanâs smile relaxed the atmosphere in the room.
Rong Jiaxin was about to cry.
She was moved and pleased.
âMy sister gave birth to a good son. If she knew that Han was so promising, she would be very happy.â
Rong Jiaxin had guarded Rong Jiali for several years and watched Zhang Han grow up, so she had a good relationship with him.
âDad, this is my nephew, and you can treat him as a junior,â said Rong Jiaxin.
âWell, Iâll call you Han, and you can call me elder Zong.â Wang Zhanzong smiled.
Although he said so, he would not really regard Zhang Han as a junior.
After all, Zhang Han was a late-stage Grand Master, even better than Wang Zhanzongâs eldest brother.
âWait!
âLate stage? Grand Master?â
It took Wang Zhanzong a few moments to check Zhang Hanâs level. Then he looked at the young man and said, âYou, you are a late-stage Grand Master?â
Zhang Han did not know whether to laugh or cry.
âHow long is Wang Zhanzongâs reflex arc?â
Knowing that the Wangs were so worried about Wang Zhanpeng, Zhang Han didnât answer Elder Zongâs question. Instead, he mobilized his spiritual force and let it flow out of his body.
For a time, the room was full of serious and cruel atmosphere, which made everyone feel scared.
All three in the room, including Rong Jiaxin, felt the pressure from Zhang Han at the moment.
But in less than a second, with Zhang Han withdrawing his Qi, the room returned to calm.
But the three in the room could not calm down, and they all stared at Zhang Han.
For them, before today, the Grand Master Late-stage was just a concept. Today, they really understood the power of a Grand Master.
This made the room silent again.
âHan, we will remember your kindness and repay it later,â said Wang Zhanzong.
âOK,â Zhang Han replied and looked at Wang Zhanpeng, who was lying on the bed. After thinking about it, he decided to go back and chat with Zi Yan for a while.
Before Zhang Han could leave, Wang Zhanhong asked, âWhatâs the meaning of Seven Soul Poisons?â
âSeven Soul Poisons,â Zhang Han pondered and explained, âThis is not a common poison, but a more advanced poison that acts on the soul. After drinking this poison, it will turn into gas and enter his five internal organs, dantian, and soul sense sea respectively, absorbing his blood and qi to nourish its toxicity, so it is called Seven Soul Poisons. Generally, in the early morning of the seventh day, the seven wounds within the poisoned personâs body will be connected into an array, and his soul will die instantly, so it is called the Seven Soul Poison Array. This kind of poison only attacks at the last moment, and the poisoned people are not different from ordinary people at ordinary times.â
Zhang Han just explained it simply because the Seven Soul Poisons was a more complex method, and no one could fully understand it in a short time.
Even so, his audience was still confused.
âWhat is the soul sense sea?â Wang Zhanhong asked.
âYou can regard it as your brain,â replied Zhang Han.
âYou said that this kind of poison only attacked the body at the last moment. But eldest brother lost his consciousness at seven oâclock in the evening. Why? Did the poison attack ahead of time?â Wang Zhanzong asked worriedly.
In front of Zhang Han, he felt that he was a reckless man who knew nothing.
âThe poison in his body is only a little related to the Seven Soul Poisons, and the poison array in his body is only connected by the wounds in the five internal organs,â Zhang Han said slowly, âAnd the caster is also a novice, otherwise he would not be in a coma.â
The two elders felt a little ashamed, for they didnât even know what poison the eldest brother had drunk. Maybe in Han Zhangâs eyes, they were not even suitable to be a novice.
âI see. ThenâŠâ Wang Zhanzong was about to ask something, but Zhang Han was no longer interested in answering. He waved and said, âCall me when you are ready. I will go back to accompany my wife.â
âWell, all right.â Wang Zhanzong nodded and said, âJiaxin, you accompany him.â
âOK.â Rong Jiaxin and Zhang Han walked out of the room to go to the main house, and Rong Jiaxin kept expressing her surprise all the way.
âGrand Master Late-stage, itâs really daunting.â Wang Zhanzong shook his head.
âMore importantly,â Wang Zhanhong took a deep breath and sighed, âhe is less than 30 years old and can be compared with Emperor Qing. Both of them are talents, and I admire them so much.â
âLetâs get in touch with the others and try our best to get the yin soul!â Wang Zhanzong said firmly.
âŠâŠ
Zhang Han returned to the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zi Yan, Wang Ya, and the other girls chatting happily.
They were not talking about Wang Ya, but about some female topics. While Zi Yan and Wang Ya didnât talk much, both Zhou Fei and Zhang Li were talkative.
âMom, youâre back. What happened to Grandpa?â Wang Ya asked. She didnât know that Wang Zhanpeng was poisoned and thought he was ill.
âWell, we have found a solution.â Rong Jiaxin nodded.
After sitting down, she looked at Zi Yan and said, âThanks to Xiaohan this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome.â
Hearing this, Zhou Fei and Zhang Li both looked at Zhang Han.
They felt that Zhang Han was getting more and more powerful.
Zi Yan also said with a smile, âOf course, he is very powerful.â
âMy husband is a powerful immortal.â
Zhang Han smiled as it reminded him of what Mengmeng often said: âMy PaPa is powerful!â
Both the mother and daughter were very proud of Zhang Han.
They talked for more than an hour until it was almost half past 11.
No one had come to inform them, and Rong Jiaxin was a little worried.
âIsnât everything that is needed ready?â
She looked at Zhang Han and suggested, âHan, shall we go and have a look?â
Zhang Han nodded. âOK.â
Zi Yan came out of the bedroom, where she had just gone to look after Mengmeng. Seeing Zhang Han leaving, she said, âAre you going there to have a look?â
âWell, Iâll be back at about 12.â Zhang Han nodded.
âThen Iâll wait for you,â Zi Yan smiled and said, âGo now.â
After leaving the room, Zhang Li and Zhou Fei were not sleepy at all because they often stayed up late. Although Wang Ya was sleepy, she felt that she should accompany them for a while and thus didnât go to rest.
They arrived at the old houseâs bedroom, where the others gathered and the atmosphere was serious.
âWe have found the top-level jade. But we still donât know where to get the yin soul.â Wang Zhanzong sighed when he saw Zhang Han.
âCan we not have a ghost? Are there any other alternatives?â Wang Zhanhong asked in a hurry.
Under everyoneâs gaze, Zhang Han shook his head.
The atmosphere in the room was more oppressive, which made the Wangs feel suffocated.
All of a sudden, Wang Ming, standing on the left, stared at Zhang Han and said in a loud voice, âHan, Han, can we use the soul of a beast?â
âSwish!â
Everyone in the room looked at Wang Ming first, then at Zhang Han.
Zhang Han pondered then finally said yes.
Though a yang soul was the best tool to break the Seven Soul Poisons Array, it was rare to see one in the world and was usually replaced by a yin soul. Yin and yang souls were souls of different attributes, with the yang soul nourishing the body and the yin soul breaking the array. As for a beast soul, it was neutral and not a good choice actually, but it was enough to deal with this âFive Soul Poisonsâ array.
âWhy didnât you say it earlier?â Wang Zhanzong stared at Wang Liang and said, âTake it out quickly.â
âItâs in my house, Iâll get it now.â Wang Ming hurried out.
When he went out, all the people were relieved. Wang Zhanzong smiled and said, âHe likes to make some strange things.â
Two minutes later, Wang Liang came back. He carried in a wooden box, opened it, and took out a small blue flag.
âHere, I have to use something to help you see it,â Wang Ming said, clapping his hands on the small flag, then the flag began to shake slightly.
Then his left hand picked up a handful of blue powder from the corner of the box. After Wang Ming sprinkled the powder in the air, a palm-sized figure of boar appeared above the flag, which lasted for two seconds and then disappeared.
âWow!â Zhang Han looked at Wang Ming with interest, for it seemed that Wang Ming liked to do weird research.
âGive me a place,â said Zhang Han.
âGo out, letâs all go out.â Wang Zhanzong led the way.
âDo I have to stay here? Or else this soul flagâŠâ Before Wang Ming finished his words, Zhang Han shook his head and said, âItâs not necessary.â
Wang Ming felt that the weight in his hand had disappeared, because the little flag had left his hands and was now standing one meter above Wang Zhanpeng.
So Wang Ming also left the room.
They gathered in front of the door, which was not closed, waiting to see how Zhang Han took action.
Under everyoneâs gazeâ
Zhang Hanâs right hand was slightly raised. All of a sudden, the jade in the box rose in succession and floated quietly above every corner of the room.
The next momentâ
âBang, bang, bangâŠâ
With all the jade exploding and breaking, people outside the door could feel the energy suddenly surging in the room.
âIs he forming an array? How can an arrayâŠâ Wang Zhanhong was interrupted.
Because something strange happened.
Zhang Hanâs eyes lit up like lightning, illuminating the earth at that moment.
âPuff, puff, puffâŠâ
A whirlwind formed in the room.
The whirlwind appeared on Wang Zhanpeng. At first, the whirlwind was cyan then gradually turned to light black. It entered Wang Zhanpengâs chest and disappeared into his body.
Then Zhang Han his withdrew his palm.
âThatâs it?â
Everyone outside the door was shocked deep inside.
âIs it so quick?â
âIt took less than 10 seconds to finish the whole process.â
But the next momentâ
âAh!â Wang Zhanpeng suddenly cried and sat up.
âPuff!â He spewed out faint black blood.
âAh? Ah? Hum, hum, hum. Hum, hum, hum. Ah? Hum, humâŠâ
After Wang Zhanzong and others rushed into the room, Wang Zhanpeng, who was already awake, stared at the crowd and tried to speak, but he could only grunt.
â? ? ?â
Everyone looked at each other, and their original joy turned into confusion.
âWhat is going on?â
âBrother, brother, whatâs wrong with you?â asked Wang Zhanhong loudly.
âAh? Hum, hum, humâŠâ
âMy eldest brother, is this⊠a pig?â Wang Zhanzong shivered and asked Zhang Han.
His words made Wang Zhanpeng blush.
âA little side effect, he will recover soon.â Zhang Han could not help laughing.
âHum, hum, ahâŠâ
Under everyoneâs gaze, Wang Zhanpeng burped and then could speak normally.
âI, I, Iâm cured?â asked Wang Zhanpeng excitedly.
âBrother, you are finally recovered! We were scared to death!â said Wang Zhanhong.
âDadâŠâ
The Wangs came to Wang Zhanpengâs side one after another and were reassured to find that he had recovered. Now Wang Zhanpeng was just weak in qi and blood, which required a two-day recuperation.
âWho saved me?â Wang Zhanpengâs eyes swept around the house.
âWell, thanks to Han. He is Jiaxinâs nephew and a powerful late-stage Grand Master. If it wasnât for him, you wouldnât⊠I dare not to think about it,â Wang Zhanzong said, and then he found Zhang Han was not there. âWhere is Han?â
âWhere is Han? Did he go back?â Rong Jiaxin was surprised.
âHe should be back.â Wang Ming nodded.
âIâll thank him tomorrow.â Wang Zhanpeng shook his head.
The whole family was immersed in the joy of recovery and decided to stay for a while.
Zhang Han, of course, went back. He was not interested in watching the Wang family reunite and didnât want to be thanked by them. Now Zhang Han just wanted to go back to sleep with his wife.
âYes, sleepâŠâ
Zhang Han quickened his pace and returned to the hall. The chatting speed of the girls in the hall had slowed down.
When Zhang Han came back, they hurried back to their room to rest.
Zhang Han and Zi Yan changed into their pajamas and went to bed. Finding his wife was sleepy, Zhang Han cuddled her to sleep.
He listened to the breathing sounds of Mengmeng on the small bed on the left and Zi Yan nearby.
They seemed to be the most beautiful sounds in the world, which made Zhang Han smile contentedly.
The night went by silently.
The next day, Mengmeng woke up at 7:30. As soon as she saw PaPa, the girl stretched out her little arms and ask Papa to carry her to the big bed.
At eight oâclock, Zi Yan woke up, got up, washed, and dressed.
By the time they went out of the room at half past eight, Zhou Fei and Zhang Li had already prepared themselves.
Wang Ming, Rong Jiaxin, and Wang Ya were drinking tea in the courtyard. When they came out, Wang Ming immediately ordered the servants to make breakfast.
âAwake?â Wang Ming gave them a warm smile and said, âHan, Yan, my father went back to the country in the morning, and he will get some local specialties. When he comes back in the evening, my eldest uncle will cook for you and thank you personally.â
Zhang Han smiled lightly after hearing that.
Mengmeng was not interested in local specialties because there was nothing more delicious than what PaPa made for her.
The little girl was interested in another thing.
âWell, are we going to the amusement park today?â asked Meng Meng.
Of course she wouldnât forget about that.
âWeâll go after lunch.â Zhang Han touched Mengmengâs face with a smile.
âGreat.â Mengmeng happily waves her little palm.
On the way to the dining hall, they met several Wangs, who greeted them warmly.
The Wangs all called Zhang Han according to their generation, and Zi Yan couldnât help laughing at all the kinds of appellations for Zhang Han.
After lunch, they went back to the house to take some belongings with them.
âItâll be hot at noon. Itâs sunny today so youâd better put on your hat,â Wang Ya reminded them.
âWell, I often wear beautiful little hats,â Mengmeng replied.
âItâs not a pretty hat, itâs a pretty Mengmeng,â Rong Jiaxin said with a smile.
After being praised, Mengmeng laughed happily.
The adults also laughed.
At this time, a young man rushed through the door. He nodded to Wang Ming, looked at Wang Ya, and said in a deep voice, âBrother Wang⊠Shi Tianlei of the Shi family is here with his grandfather, Shi Kun. While Shi Kun went to the old house, he is coming here with several people.â
âWhat?â Wang Ming frowned.
Since Shi Tianlei was Wang Mingâs enemy, and Shi Kun had almost killed one elder of the Wang family, this news ignited Wang Mingâs anger.
At this time, a line of three people came slowly from the gate, led by a fat man, who looked very impetuous.
He was Shi Tianlei.
Seeing him, Wang Ya turned pale and bit her lips.
Zi Yan, Zhou Fei, and Zhang Li were confused, for they didnât know why Wang Ya fell in love with this guy.
Such an ugly and bad man.
They guessed that Shi Tianlei had never been a good man, who had been hiding his nature. After he got access to the wealth of the Wang family and knew the status of Shi Kun, he immediately exposed his real character.
Wang Ya went out with a pale face.
Shi Tianlei went to the center of the yard, looked at Wang Ya, took out a contract, and said impatiently, âI wonât talk to you about it. Sign the contract to leave empty-handed and we will divorce.
âYou want my property so you keep delaying the divorce. Iâll tell you that you wonât get a cent.â Wang Mingâs whole body trembled with rage, and he wanted to smack Shi Tianlei to death with one strike.
But behind Shi Tianlei stood two Heaven-stage Masters, and Shi Kun was also here.
âWhat property do you have? Who cares about that? What are you?â Wang Ming said angrily.
âOh, Uncle Wang, you should be polite to me. Iâm going to take over a company of the family, and you can call me Director Shi later. Of course, I have a lot of property, but I wonât give it to others.â Shi Tianlei looked at Wang Ya and asked, âSign it or not? Iâll go if you refuse to sign. Itâs better not to divorce, and I think youâve heard about my means.â
âYou!â Rong Jiaxin clenched her fist.
âIâll sign it.â Wang Ya said loudly, and then strode up to Shi Tianlei.
She took the pen, wrote down her name, threw the contract to Shi Tianlei, turned around, and walked back, saying, âIâm only responsible for my blind eyes and my love for a beast.â
âWho is the beast? You are no better than me!â Shi Tianlei sneered, and suddenly saw a group of people coming out from the side.
âMy gosh, sheâs indeed a beauty!â His eyes were fixed on Zi Yan and he looked at her and said, âThere are so many beauties in your royal family. Tsk, the body shapeâŠâ
He was so frivolous.
The two Heaven-stage Masters behind him also laughed.
Were they arrogant?
Yes.
The Shi family dared to be so arrogant. They had Shi Kun and the Mystical Fog Sect and needed not to be afraid of anyone.
Zhang Han on Zi Yanâs right looked at them.
âCome on, Mengmeng.â Zhang Han lifted his windbreaker forward to let Mengmeng get in to block her sight.
At this time, Zhou Fei, Zhang Li, and Zi Yan all felt that something was going to happen.
On the other side, Zhao Feng and Ah Hu were stunned.
âWhere does this fool come from? This kind of person would die in three days in the underworld.â
Their ideas were directly expressed by Zhang Han.
He looked at Shi Tianlei curiously and asked, âHow have you lived to this day?â
âHmm?â Shi Tianlei frowned and replied unhappily, âDo you know who you are talking to?â
âYes.â
Zhang Han nodded lightly, waved his right hand, and said, âA dead man.â
As soon as Zhang Han finished speakingâŠ
âBoom!â
A muffled sound came from Shi Tianleiâs body.
And then he flew backward.
When he was flying backward, someone found that he had stopped breathing.
âSwish, swish, swish!â
Everyone present was astonished.
The two Heaven-stage Masters behind Shi Tianlei were stunned and looked at Zhang Han in horror.
âHow dare he make his move?â
âShi Tianlei comes from the Shi family!â
âHe is the son admitted by the Shi familyâ
âIs he not afraid of death? He even dares to kill Shi Tianlei!â
While they were worried, Zhang Han looked at them!
âYou two, donât get in the way here,â Zhang Han said calmly.
But the two began to tremble.
They quickly turned around and ran out to tell Shi Kun the news.
But they were unable to take a single step.
An irresistible force rushed from behind.
And then their world fell into darkness.
Then, there was no âthenâ.
The moment before their consciousness vanished, they understood what Zhang Han meant by saying âdonât get in the wayâ.
