Previously, Zhang Kanwen accepted Little Wang Li as his disciple and taught him the cultivation method of Mount Wen. Originally, I thought that after Wang Li passed the half-year barrier, he would be at peace for a while, but it seems that things are worse than I imagined.
I lifted Little Wang Li's shirt, and the black pit on his chest became more obvious. If the pit was as deep as the sacrificial well in the orchard when I first saw it, then the pit now looked like a sinkhole.
At this time, Wang Li was only one year old. His body was naturally not very thick, but even so, the pit still looked like an endless deep well. Not to mention cultivators who had opened the Yin-Yang Eye, even ordinary people could see that something was wrong.
I glanced to the side. Wang Kun was dispirited, and he didn't have the smile from before. He had been reporting the good news and not the bad news on the way here.
Only then did I notice that Zhang Kanwen's arm was bandaged. I was anxious to see Little Wang Li's situation, so I didn't notice it.
When Zhang Kanwen had come out of the Yinshang Royal Mausoleum, he had indeed been severely injured. However, it had been so long, and Zhang Kanwen was at the Five-Star Knowledge realm, so his body was naturally better than ordinary people. It didn't make sense that he hadn't recovered after so long. Could it be that he had been injured by someone again?
My expression darkened. Zhang Kanwen was my best friend, and he was the successor of Mount Wen. If anyone dared to find trouble with Zhang Kanwen, I didn't mind letting them suffer!
"Brother Zhang, your wound …" I asked with a hint of anger in my voice.
Zhang Kanwen still had his unshaven appearance, and he waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's okay. It's just a superficial wound. It's not a big deal."
Zhang Kanwen didn't seem to want to say it, but Liu Chuande looked annoyed. "Boss, the person who injured Zhang Kanwen wasn't someone else, but Little Wang Li in your arms!"
My heart quivered, and Wang Kun and the others furrowed their brows even deeper.
"This … was indeed my son's doing. It's the father's fault for not teaching him well. This … this … Sigh!"
Wang Kun looked like he was about to cry, and he looked apologetic and terrified.
Even the faces of the people around him were filled with fear.
Only Zhang Kanwen's expression didn't change, and he smiled leisurely. "Haha … This small injury isn't a problem.
I already said that this little fellow has a good physique, good cultivation material. Look, he's still so young, and he's able to beat me, his master!
He's worth teaching, he's worth teaching, haha … "
While purposely smiling, Zhang Kanwen gave me a look, he was clearly telling me not to continue asking.
I nodded and didn't say anything else. However, I was extremely shocked in my heart.
Wang Li, who was only one year old, was actually able to injure Zhang Kanwen, who had the cultivation of Glorious Knowledge 5-star?
Not only me, but the expression of Wang Kun and Wang Kun's group.
Moreover, Zhang Kanwen was unwilling to mention this matter in front of everyone. Clearly, the situation was very serious.
"Zhang Kanwen" Wang "Kanwen" to "Wang" Li and "Brother" Li, Wen. "Wang" Li said. "I" Wang "Zhang" to "Wang"
Zhang Kanwen quickly changed the topic and said to me with a smile, "Don't just talk. Let's go. The meal has already been prepared. You must have experienced many things during this long journey. Tell your big brother about them."
As he said that, Zhang Kanwen pulled me to take a seat. Wang Yongjun and the others were used to being arrogant at the dining table, so they naturally knew how to lighten the atmosphere. After a few jokes, everyone finally showed a rare smile and sat down to eat.
I had an ulterior motive, so I just casually talked during the meal. The meal was tasteless. Wang Yongjun obviously noticed something was wrong, so he quickly ended the feast and arranged for Wang Kun to send us back.
The Fengshui Metaphysics Shop was decorated more luxuriously than before. The original four-story building had a few more floors. It didn't reach the clouds, but it looked quite grand. I couldn't help but admire Wang Yongjun's methods.
Previously, the building had collapsed in the downtown area of Shenzhen. I didn't expect that in just a few months, another building had risen from the ground.
Zhang Kanwen still looked as calm as before. He got off the car and walked into the shop, as though nothing had happened. I couldn't sit still. I didn't have time to observe the situation in the shop. I grabbed his arm and asked, "Brother Zhang, what happened?
Did Wang Li really hurt you? "
Zhang Kanwen gave me a look and turned to take the child from Wang Kun's wife. He pretended to be indifferent. "Let's go upstairs."
I turned to look at Liu Chuande and Xie Chenghua. The two of them should have seen the scene before. They obviously had some lingering fear. Wang Li and his wife also looked upset as they sighed.
I followed Zhang Kanwen to his room with many doubts.
"Zhou Yi, I have to congratulate you first. You have reached the Glorious Consciousness Great Perfection realm. Looking at your aura, I'm afraid you are only one step away from breaking through to Heavenly Master, right?"
After entering the room, Zhang Kanwen still had a faint smile on his face. He wasn't in a hurry to talk about Wang Li's injury. Instead, he asked about my cultivation.
Logically speaking, Zhang Kanwen was only at the Five Stars of Knowledge realm and it would be hard for him to see through the realms of those who were much higher than him. However, it was probably because he had the Wen Shan lineage's cultivation technique that he was able to see through my cultivation.
Zhang Kanwen was a person who could handle heavy things easily. The more he was like this, the more uneasy I felt. Thus, I just casually replied, "I was lucky and had some fortuitous encounters. It could be considered a bargain.
Tell me about Little Wang Li first! "
Zhang Kanwen then found a stool to sit down. He looked at Wang Li with a sorrowful expression. The calmness in his eyes gradually turned solemn.
At this time, Little Wang Li had more or less learned to speak a few words. He was obviously very familiar with Zhang Kanwen and was grinning foolishly at him.
"What a good child …"
Zhang Kanwen let out a long sigh.
His series of actions made me confused. Even with my temperament, I couldn't stand it anymore. "Brother Zhang, what's wrong? Did you encounter some trouble? Tell me so we can solve it together!"
The more he acted like this, the more uncertain I felt.
Zhang Kanwen laughed bitterly. "Do you still remember the two year promise I made with you?"
My heart skipped a beat.
At that time, Zhang Kanwen concluded that Wang Li had been possessed by Sister Tong Zihua. He had insisted on killing this child. In order to protect him, I gave in and proposed a two-year agreement.
Everyone who cultivated knew how powerful Sister Tong Zihua was. The seemingly deep pit in Wang Li's chest was actually the passage through which the evil creature communicated with the human world!
One day, the terrifying existence behind the pit would escape from the passage and bring disaster to the human world.
Moreover, most of the evil creatures that possessed Sister Tong Zihua had extraordinary cultivation. If we couldn't get rid of this evil creature by then, we would have no choice but to kill Wang Li.
However, we had already calculated a countermeasure at that time. We had successfully passed the first half-year hurdle, and the second hurdle would only come when he was at least two years old. What had happened?
Little Wang Li had a few small teeth in his pink gums. He smiled brightly and looked harmless, as if he was no different from other children. However, such a powerless baby had injured Zhang Kanwen, a five-star Knowledge Star?
I said with a solemn expression, "Of course, I remember the two-year agreement you mentioned. But hasn't it only been a year?"
Zhang Kanwen hugged Little Wang Li and kept teasing him, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face. "At that time, I did predict that the second hurdle would come when he was two years old. I also had a certain degree of confidence that I could help him pass that hurdle and deal with the evil creature hiding behind the pit.
But now … I'm afraid that with our cultivation, we won't be able to deal with that evil creature after a year! "
My heart sank. Zhang Kanwen and I had known each other for a long time, so he knew my trump card.
Tong, the snake spirit, the corpse demon, and Xiao Jin were all extraordinary creatures with high cultivation. Zhang Kanwen had seen all of them before, and he also knew that I was at the peak of Knowledge Star and was only one step away from becoming a Celestial Master. In addition to Zhang Kanwen, who had Wen Shan's cultivation technique, even Yang God Celestial Master wouldn't be able to take advantage of us.
But now, he was so dispirited!
What kind of terrifying existence was the monster that had possessed Little Wang Li?
Little Wang Li was still smiling harmlessly in Zhang Kanwen's arms. His eyes were filled with a child's curiosity towards this strange world and familiarity with Zhang Kanwen.
I couldn't imagine that such a powerful evil creature was hiding in this small body.
Let's not talk about whether or not we could deal with that evil creature. Once that evil creature broke out of the hole, Little Wang Li would immediately turn into ashes!
Back then, I had insisted on protecting Little Wang Li. Now that things had come to this, how could I just stand by and watch?
I was silent for a moment. Then, I extended my hand to take the child from Zhang Kanwen's hands and gently shook him a few times.
Little Wang Li wasn't too shy with strangers. After coaxing him a few times, he opened his pink mouth and smiled, just like before.
No matter what, I had insisted on saving Little Wang Li. As the saying goes, if you help someone, help them to the end. No matter what, I couldn't watch Little Wang Li die for no reason.
