At this time, Zhang Yao also let go of his worries and began to recount his experience.
"After the Jin Family was annihilated that night, I was targeted by many people. They kept sending people to kill me, and I kept killing them.
In this Ning An East City, the only person I cared about was Qing Yan. In order to prevent the Chen family from bullying her, I went to the Chen family and killed a few people so that they wouldn't dare to do anything to Qing Yan. "
"After that, I didn't dare to stay in the city anymore. Otherwise, with the power of those people, I would be found sooner or later."
"After the plan was set, I parted ways with Qing Yan and went out of the city alone.
However, when I left the city, I was still discovered.
Those people started to chase me crazily. I fought and ran. "
Zhang Yao had a complicated look in his eyes as though he was reminiscing.
"In order for the bloodline of the Zhang Family to continue, I knew that I couldn't be too far away from Ning An East City and couldn't be caught by those people. Otherwise, there would be no future for the Zhang Family."
"Thus, I circled around Ning An East City on three sides …"
"Three sides?" Zhou Fu interrupted him. "How could Ning 'an East City only have three sides?"
Zhang Yao looked strangely at Zhou Fu. "The four cities of Ning An East City surround the main city in the middle. The empty space is the grain valley. Don't you know?"
Zhou Fu frowned. "I'm the one asking you now!"
"Alright, the grain valley is the responsibility of the State of Liang's agriculture department. It's divided into four parts. Two produce grain, one produce meat, and one is for the military and officials. Usually, it's heavily guarded.
The patrolling guards are all above the Bone Forging Realm, and the general is at the peak of the Blood Changing Realm. After they form a military formation, even if one or two ordinary mortal evolution states came, they would be suppressed and beaten. Of course, I didn't dare to go. "
Zhou Fu nodded. "Continue talking about the ghost face."
Zhou Fu didn't ask much about the situation in Ning An City. After he dealt with the forces in the east city, those things would naturally appear in front of him.
"In the southeast direction of Ning 'an East City, about one hundred and fifty kilometers away, there is a strange village. The people there are all lifeless. They work and rest every day like puppets.
At that time, in order to avoid being hunted, I stayed there for a night. Who knew that all kinds of strange things would happen in the middle of the night, and that was when the ghost face appeared on my body. "
At this point, Zhang Yao's face revealed a very ugly smile. It was a mixture of fear, anger, regret, and even a trace of relief.
"The next morning, I was surprised to find that all the wounds on my body had healed. Just as I was about to leave, a villager appeared before me. He told me that my house had been built, and I could move in."
"At that time, I thought that this person was a spy of the people who were after me. He even knew my name!
At that time, I had disguised myself.
So, in my panic, I smashed his chest. "
At this time, Zhang Yao looked seriously into Zhou Fu's eyes. "I'm sure I broke his chest!"
"After that, when I was about to leave the village and enter the forest, the villager that I killed appeared again. He told me that if I dared to leave the village, I would have to bear the consequences."
At this time, Zhang Yao's face was full of malevolence. "I didn't believe it, so I killed the villager again. After that, I ran into the forest!"
Zhou Fu listened attentively and asked, "And then?"
"And then?" Zhang Yao puffed up his chest. "This is the outcome!"
"That's not right!" Zhou Fu frowned.
Zhang Yao's heart jumped. "What's not right?"
Zhou Fu stared into Zhang Yao's eyes and asked word by word, "If what you said is true, then how did you come to Ning 'an East City!"
"Exchange!"
"Exchange?"
"Yes!
I promised to bring back ten people for the ghost face to live on. Only then could I come out. "
Regarding this answer, Zhou Fu pondered for a moment. "Who did you exchange with?"
Zhang Yao answered truthfully, "There is an ancestral hall in the village. There is a statue of a woman inside. I didn't find out her identity, so I exchanged with her."
This Zhang Yao is not honest!
Zhou Fu thought in his heart.
"How did you know to exchange with her?"
"The village has a sacrifice every three days. At that time, the villagers will catch a lot of wild beasts from the surrounding mountains and hold a blood sacrifice in front of the statue!
At that time, the number of blood sacrifices will appear in my mind.
Later on, after several tests, I found out that the statue is mysterious. That's all I know. "
"You're still honest." Zhou Fu nodded and said against his will.
Zhang Yao asked, "I've said what I need to say. When can I be reunited with my family?"
"There's no hurry. Wait until my people get the things from the place you mentioned."
"As it should be!"
… …
Three hours later, a few guards carried a box and came to the dungeon.
"Lord, this is the thing we got from the place you mentioned."
Zhou Fu walked over and kicked the lid of the box. He then kicked a few more times, shattering the box and scattering the things inside.
Most of the things in the box were gold, silver, and jewels. There were also some gold and silver notes. Next were a few secret manuals.
《Copper Armor Body》, 《Windbreaker Blade Art》, 《Flowing Venom》, 《Sky Deceiving Illusion Technique》, 《Shadow Transformation》 … There were more than ten martial arts manuals scattered around.
Zhang Yao looked at the scattered things and said, "Sky Deceiving, Shadow Transformation, Flowing Venom, and 《Windbreaker Blade》 are all Earth-rank. The rest are Mystic-rank."
"You only brought these things from the Jin Clan?" Zhou Fu was very dissatisfied with the things in the box.
"Look carefully. There are four Earth-rank martial arts in here!
Four!
Sky Deceiving, Shadow Transformation, and Flowing Venom are enough for me to run amok in Ning 'an. You … you … "
Originally, Zhang Yao wanted to explain how powerful the four martial arts manuals he had cultivated were. However, when he thought about how Zhou Fu could easily crush him, he decided not to say anything.
"Maybe you don't care about these things, but you can go and ask how precious these things are!
Just these secret manuals in front of you are enough to create a small force! "
Zhou Fu didn't know whether to agree or disagree with Zhang Yao's words. He picked up the 《Copper Armor Body》 and flipped through it.
"This martial art is an advanced martial art from the Body Refining Hall. It uses 《Copper Armor Art》 and 《Iron Bone Secret Manual》 as the foundation. After cultivating it, no weapons below Earth-rank will be able to harm you. Moreover, your strength and recovery speed will be several times faster than ordinary people." Zhang Yao explained.
"It's a pity that the 《Copper Armor Art》 can be found. The 《Iron Bone Secret Manual》 has been missing for a long time.
However … I have a method. That is to use medicinal baths to stimulate it. It can also meet the requirements to cultivate this martial art. "
"Moreover, this martial art is one of the core martial arts of the Body Refining Hall."
"Core martial art?" Zhou Fu sneered, "Just this Mystic-rank high-grade martial art?"
