âCelestial Master, I donât think thereâs a need to waste time, right? Itâs naturally impossible to dig up the Fiend Tomb. It looks like you can only choose between me and Old Mister Charlie,â said Moses.
After hearing Moses say that, Zhou Wen suddenly said, âCelestial Master, if I were you, I definitely wouldnât choose to use the power of a Guardian.â
âZhou Wen, what are you trying to imply?â Moses and the members of the Family Clan of Gods glared at Zhou Wen.
âWhy?â Zhang Siyou looked at Zhou Wen with interest.
âItâs not convenient for me to explain the exact reason in public. Iâve already told Zhang Chunqiu. Itâs best if he explains it to you in private,â Zhou Wen said as he deliberately glanced at Moses.
Originally, he had thought of a better solution, but he chose the easiest method to anger Moses and the Family Clan of Gods. This was because he needed an excuse to kill Giant God Sovereign.
Now, Moses and the members of the Family Clan of Gods looked at Zhou Wen with extremely unfriendly gazes.
Zhang Chunqiu used a secret message to convey the reason Zhou Wen had mentioned to Zhang Siyou. After hearing it, Zhang Siyou looked at Zhou Wen and asked, âAre you sure about the matter regarding Giant God Sovereign?â
âI canât be sure, but if it were me, I wouldnât take such a risk,â Zhou Wen said.
âCelestial Master, please donât listen to his nonsense. I know my Guardian best. There definitely wonât be a problem,â Moses explained. Although he didnât know what Zhou Wen had said to the Zhang family, he knew that there was nothing good about it.
âPlease calm down. We need some time to discuss. Please wait for a moment.â After Zhang Siyou finished speaking, he got someone to lead the three parties away, leaving only the members of the Zhang family behind to begin a discussion.
...
âZhou Wen, do you dare accept my challenge?â Moses asked Zhou Wen coldly.
âYou are just relying on a Guardian. Itâs nothing impressive. Why wouldnât I dare?â Zhou Wen replied arrogantly.
âVery well. After this matter is over, I will definitely fight you. You wonât escape then,â Moses said with a sullen expression.
âIâm afraid you will be the one to escape when the time comes.â Zhou Wen remained as arrogant as ever.
Moses didnât say anything else. After all, this was an important area in the Zhang family. It was impossible for him to fight Zhou Wen here. It was useless to say anything now. All he could do was wait until he left.
...
The Zhang family was in an intense discussion. Naturally, Zhang Chunqiu strongly recommended Zhou Wen, but due to the teachings of the ancestral Celestial Master, many elders of the Zhang family didnât agree to digging up the tomb.
Zhang Chunqiuâs uncle was especially against it.
âIf we really want to dig up the tomb, our Zhang family has countless experts. Why would we need to rely on outsiders?â This was what most of the Zhang family members thought.
The reason they were willing to hire someoneâs help with the Earth Elemental Beast as compensation was because they hoped to resolve the problem without touching the Fiend Tomb.
âUncles, Zhou Wen can see through the Fiend Tomb. Only he knows where the Fiend Tomb can be dug and where it canât be dug. Uncles, you should know the dangers of the Fiend Tomb better than me. We canât take such risks,â Zhang Chunqiu said.
âThere are also risk-free solutions. Charlie and Moses do not need to dig open Fiend Tomb, so thereâs no risk at all. Even if itâs really as Zhou Wen said and thereâs a Guardian down there, making it inconvenient to use a Guardian to blast open Fiend Tomb, we can still choose Charlie. Furthermore, saying that Ba is a Guardian isnât believable at all. When he first came, he couldnât see any problems. Now that heâs here, he has figured everything out. Itâs a little unbelievable,â Uncle Zhang said.
âUncle...â Zhang Chunqiu wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Uncle Zhang.
âThereâs no need to say anything else. The ancestral teachings are unbreakable. Ancestral Celestial Master has already made it clear that if the Fiend Tomb is touched, our Zhang family will definitely perish. No matter what, I donât agree to digging up the tomb.â
Zhang Chunqiu was helpless. No matter what he said, he couldnât move the elders of the Zhang family.
After waiting for a while, the Zhang family finally finished their discussion. Zhang Siyou led the Zhang family out and said to the three of them, âAfter our discussion, we have decided to get Mr. Charlie to help us solve the problem of the Fiend Tomb. If Mr. Charlie canât solve the problem of the Fiend Tomb, we will trouble the other two to help us.â
âCelestial Master, thatâs a wise choice.â Charlie smiled like a gentleman, but he couldnât hide the smugness in his eyes.
Moses and company glared at Zhou Wen, clearly believing that he had hindered them. Otherwise, they would have been the ones to obtain this opportunity.
âSorry, Iâve tried my best,â Zhang Chunqiu walked to Zhou Wenâs side and said apologetically.
âItâs fine. The Cape family might not be able to succeed. There might still be a chance.â Zhou Wen felt that since Charlie couldnât even see the Ghost Hornless below, the chances of him resolving the problem with Fiend Tomb were slim.
Furthermore, if he wasnât careful, he might even lose his life there. After all, the Ghoul Mask and the Ghost Hornlessâs abilities were too strange. Even Zhou Wen would be killed if he wasnât careful. It probably wouldnât be easy for Old Mister Charlie to return alive.
As the two of them spoke, Uncle Zhang walked past them and glanced at Zhou Wen. Then, he said to Zhang Chunqiu, âDonât mention digging up the tomb again. As long as my old bones are still around, I wonât let anyone harm our Zhang family.â
âUncle...â Zhang Chunqiu wanted to say something, but Uncle Zhang had already waved his hand and gone.
âDonât worry about it. My uncle was only afraid that something would happen to the Zhang family because of the ancestral Celestial Masterâs orders. He doesnât have any intention of targeting you,â Zhang Chunqiu said helplessly to Zhou Wen.
âThatâs nothing. However, I think your uncle seems to have some misunderstanding about me. Iâm afraid that if Charlie doesnât succeed, they will be willing to give Moses a chance and not me,â Zhou Wen said.
âI definitely wonât let that happen,â Zhang Chunqiu said with a firm expression.
However, Zhou Wen couldnât figure out when he had offended the old man to make him look down on him.
Zhang Chunqiu thought for a moment and said, âDidnât you happen to bump into my uncle the last time you were here? I think this might have something to do with you saying that you didnât discover anything.â
Zhou Wen was enlightened. The elder originally imagined that he was here to mess around and didnât have any true abilities.
...
On the other side, Charlie had already begun taking action. Zhou Wen and Zhang Chunqiu went to the stone platforms. Zhou Wen also wanted to see what the Great Divination Theurgy was.
Charlie produced a pair of angel wings on his back and flew to the front of the Fiend Tomb. He stopped outside the demarcating line and summoned two Companion Beasts. One was a crucifix, and the other was a book.
As the book opened, light beams shot out from the bookâs surface, gradually condensing into the shape of a Ghoul Mask. Although it was a little blurry, Zhou Wen could tell that it was undoubtedly the Ghoul Mask.
This old man is quite capable
, Zhou Wen thought.
Without any hesitation, the moment the Ghoul Maskâs shadow condensed, the crucifix in his other hand emitted a terrifying holy light. He used the crucifix as a sword and stabbed into the Ghoul Maskâs shadow.
The Ghoul Maskâs shadow immediately shattered the crucifix, turning into specks of light that dissipated. At the same time, there was a cracking sound from the Fiend Tomb as though something had shattered.
