"Heaven and Earth have righteous energy, giving form to chaos.
Below are rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.
People call it righteous, filling the sky.
The road to the throne is clear, containing peace and spitting out the Ming court.
At the end of time, I see it, one by one, in painting … "
After Old Zhao's figure disappeared, I followed his last murmur and read the full text of Wen Tianxiang's' Song of Righteousness'.
In the entire history of Huaxia, Wen Tianxiang was the only one who single-handedly supported the entire nation!
As for Old Zhao, he was the descendant of Wen Shan, who had inherited Wen Tianxiang's metaphysics. Although he hadn't experienced the changes of time, he had been loyal all his life. He was worthy of being the descendant of Wen Gong.
Not only had he inherited Wen Tianxiang's metaphysics, but he had also inherited Wen Tianxiang's righteous energy!
Standing in the narrow room of the hotel, I bowed deeply to the dimming Yin Yang Yama Brush.
When I lifted my head, my eyes were cold. Since ancient times, heroes didn't have a hard time dealing with beauties, but with villains.
Old Zhao had worked hard his whole life. He had gone through many trials and tribulations. All he wanted was to maintain the inheritance of Wen Shan.
According to him, when Wen Shan's branch was hit hard, the entire Southern metaphysics world had lent a helping hand. They had helped Wen Shan get through the crisis. However, no one had expected that Wen Shan's branch would be destroyed by Zhang Bingcheng, one of their own.
Although Zhang Kanwen had escaped, where could a heavily injured and dying person escape to?
After more than ten days of searching, perhaps Old Zhao still had hope when he left. However, I knew how cruel reality was. Zhang Kanwen had most likely met with misfortune.
I sighed and held the Yin Yang Yama Brush in my hand. I recalled what Old Zhao had said before he left.
He had said that he would give me the Yin Yang Yama Brush. However, it was the inheritance of Wen Shan's branch. How could I dare to take it for myself?
After thinking for a while, I called Xie Chenghua, Liu Chuande, and Wang Kun over. I arranged for them to continue searching for Zhang Kanwen in Meizhou and the surrounding areas.
It would be best if we could find Zhang Kanwen's whereabouts. I will return the Yin-Yang Yama Brush to him and do my best to help him rebuild the Mount Wen lineage.
If I really can't find Zhang Kanwen, I'm not a pedantic person. I'll take the Yin-Yang Yama Brush for my own use, but at the same time, I'll also promise Lord Zhao and his two disciples that I'll kill Zhang Kanwen to comfort their souls in heaven.
Zhang Bingcheng is only a quasi meridian talent, and his strength is only in the early stages of Glory of Consciousness. His strength is not much different from Chairman Xu, Xie Chenghua, and the others, and they are all at the weakest level of Glory of Consciousness. Even without Tong Tong and Xie Chenghua's help, I alone have the strength to fight him.
It was better to take revenge as soon as possible. Moreover, the Lu Family was here as well.
Although I don't have the strength to go to Beijing to find Lu Zhenyang and challenge the entire Lu family, since they came to Guangdong, they can't blame me for collecting some interest.
As I arranged for everyone to continue searching for Zhang Kanwen, I went alone to the Meizhou branch. I quietly waited at the entrance for an entire day. In the evening, I saw a person in the middle stage of the Pressure Point Realm come out from inside, so I quietly followed him.
When I arrived at a secluded place, I casually used a Binding Talisman to restrain him and brought him back to the hotel I was staying at.
A person in the middle stage of the Pressure Point Realm was enough to hold the position of a director or vice chairman in any of the Metaphysics branches. After a series of interrogation, this person very quickly revealed Zhang Kanwen's residence address and his whereabouts over the past few days.
According to what he said, Zhang Kanwen rarely appeared at the Meizhou branch. It was only ten days ago that he and Lu Chengping came to the branch and gathered all the members of the Meizhou branch to investigate the relationship between Zhao Dingwu, Zhang Kanwen, and the others. After the Lu Family killed the Mount Wen lineage, they didn't hide their tracks. Most of the people in the Meizhou branch knew of Lu Chengping and the others.
Calculating the time, his investigation was most likely triggered by me killing Lu Zifeng and rescuing Lord Zhao.
I didn't know if his investigation would lead to me or not, but it didn't matter. The Lu Family and I were mortal enemies. It didn't make a difference whether or not it was one more thing.
Apart from this, Zhang Kanwen appeared again yesterday. This time, he was alone. After arriving at the Meizhou branch, he gathered over ten people in the Pressure Point Realm and set up a Spirit Summoning Array in the Meizhou branch.
The Spirit Summoning Array was originally very simple. Even when I hadn't reached the Earth Master realm, I could still rely on some Metaphysics tools. With Zhang Kanwen's cultivation, he only needed a talisman to summon a soul. The reason why he set up the Spirit Summoning Array was because he wanted to summon Zhang Kanwen's soul.
The Spirit Summoning Technique was the same as the Soul Searching Hand Seal. The caster could only use it on people whose cultivation was lower than their own. If it was used on people with similar or higher cultivation, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Of course, Metaphysics had its own ways to adapt. The Spirit Summoning Array was a method to gather everyone's power to summon the soul of a powerful person.
Zhang Kanwen was at the middle stage of the Glorious Memory realm. On Zhang Kanwen's side, Lu Chengping, who was the strongest, was also at the same realm. It was impossible to use the Spirit Summoning Array on him.
Under such circumstances, the only way to summon a soul was to set up the Spirit Summoning Array.
Speaking of which, I was lucky. The person I had randomly kidnapped was one of the Fengshui Masters who had set up the Spirit Summoning Array yesterday. That was why he knew so much inside information.
However, after knowing this news, my heart sank. Under most circumstances, the soul would only leave the body when it was about to die. The Spirit Summoning Technique was only effective on dead people. Since Zhang Kanwen wanted to summon Zhang Kanwen's soul, did that mean that Zhang Kanwen was already dead?
Before I could figure it out, the person told me that the Spirit Summoning Array had been set up for an entire day, but in the end, it failed. It didn't summon Zhang Kanwen's soul at all.
After listening to him, I understood that Zhang Kanwen had set up the Spirit Summoning Array. Although it was called the Spirit Summoning Array, it was actually to confirm whether Zhang Kanwen was still alive or not.
If he couldn't summon his soul, there were only two possibilities. Either Zhang Kanwen's soul was imprisoned somewhere after his death, or Zhang Kanwen wasn't dead yet.
Moreover, considering the fact that Zhang Kanwen had escaped from their ambush, it was more likely that he was still alive.
After understanding this, I felt much better. As long as he was still alive, everything was fine.
At first, I just wanted to get Zhang Kanwen's address so that I could secretly attack him. I didn't expect to get a surprise.
After restraining the person again, I sat on a nearby chair and frowned, contemplating.
If Zhang Kanwen wasn't dead, should I put aside the matter of taking revenge and try my best to find Zhang Kanwen before Zhang Kanwen?
After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head. Searching for people was too random. Even if I tried my best to find them, it was hard to say what the result would be. In order to ensure Zhang Kanwen's safety, I should make a move on Zhang Bingcheng as soon as possible.
As long as I killed Zhang Kanwen, it didn't matter if I could find Zhang Kanwen or not, he would be much safer.
If Zhang Kanwen died, Lu Chengping would be the only outsider left. No matter what, he wouldn't be able to continue searching for Zhang Kanwen.
However, there was a disadvantage to doing so, which was that it would easily alert the enemy. After Zhang Kanwen died, Lu Chengping might feel that he couldn't do anything and leave Meizhou.
If that was the case, I could only put aside the matter of taking revenge on the Lu Family.
After careful consideration, I decided that it was more important to ensure Zhang Kanwen's safety. There was no rush to take revenge on the Lu Family. Furthermore, Lu Chengping was in the middle stage of Glorious Memory, and was also a prodigy of the Lu Family. He might have some life-saving items on him. In a situation where I wasn't fully prepared, it would be too difficult to kill him.
After confirming it, I rested for a bit before heading to Zhang Kanwen's house.
Although Lu Chengping was with Zhang Kanwen, it was unlikely that he would stay at Zhang Kanwen's house. Thus, to kill Zhang Kanwen, it would be the best time when he was sleeping at home.
When I set off, the sky was already dark. When I reached Zhang Kanwen's house, it was in the dead of night.
Zhang Kanwen also lived in a small courtyard, but it was different from Zhao Dingwu's house. This was a proper villa district. There were rows of three-story villas that looked pleasing to the eye.
According to that person's confession, Zhang Kanwen's house was in the middle of villa number six. I hid in the shadows by the wall and sneakily made my way to the fence of villa number six. With a nimble flip, I jumped into the courtyard. Then, I used the dark green power to hide my presence. I snuck to the base of the wall, closed my eyes, and sensed carefully.
Very quickly, I felt an extremely strong Dao energy wave from the second floor of the villa. From the aura, it looked like the early stage of Glorious Memory. It was most likely Zhang Kanwen.
