Chapter 712 The Chen Family is in Danger


    “Why would you say that he knew Chen Hao well?” asked Luo Ziyan while looking at the giant python


    as she wiped her tears.


    “That’s because he knew this ce very well. No ordinary mortal can break the formation formed by


    the Dragon Blood Jade that was given to Chen Hao, yet the elder undid it effortlessly. Also, he


    repeated Chen Hao’s name and the word ‘secret’ while examining the Celestial War God’s remains


    after he killed me, which to me was proof that he knew Chen Hao well,” exined the giant python. “He


    then took the longevity coffin with him after he couldn’t find what he wanted, but he overlooked my


    tremendous spiritual power as a beast who lived for more than ten thousand years. Even though my


    body has perished, my soul still remains, thus I saw everything!”


    Chen Hao frowned in deep thought at its words. The formation was indeed from the Dragon Blood


    Jade, and no one else knew this ce besides grandpa and Mo Canglong. Wait a minute, what about


    the mysterious man who hadn’t shown himself but left a note to lead me to the longevity coffin?


    There is no telling if his grandfather and the others are still alive or not due to the trouble at the Holy


    Water Ritual. As for Mo Canglong, he was long since dead, thus Chen Hao did not even consider him,


    which left the mysterious man as the sole suspect. Could he be the culprit then?


    But this did not make sense, as the mysterious man seemed to have led him to the longevity coffin out


    of kindness. Chen Hao remembered very well that the mysterious man had given him numerous clues


    given by the man back when he struggled to solve the mysteries surrounding the League of Sun.


    Chen Hao began piecing together the ins and outs of that day. He thought to himself, I found the


    longevity coffin thanks to the map he gave me in secret, which he insisted I open myself before seeking


    Grandpa’s help. Because of that, I made a huge leap forward in my cultivation and defeated the Mo


    Family on behalf of my family. He gave me many hints about Ziyan as well. Did he lead me this far up


    until now to exploit me or put me in danger? This doesn’t make any sense to me—at least for now!


    “Hao, have you ever met such a hidden master?” asked Luo Ziyan while looking at Chen Hao.


    Chen Hao nodded after a brief ponder. “Yes, I had. Uncle Qin, my mentor whom I had mentioned


    before, is one such person.”


    After giving it some more thought, he continued, “He is very powerful, so powerful that I’m afraid that I


    won’t even stand a chance against him even with my cultivation base now. To be honest, I’ve never


    seen his true prowess despite him showing me his abilities every day. I guess that summarizes his


    abilities pretty well.”


    His answer rmed both Luo Ziyan and Chen Pingan, for no ordinary man would have the ability to


    make Chen Hao feel uneasy with the strength he had now.


    “But it couldn’t be Uncle Qin. He has always been kind to me, having saved my life and taught me his


    skills. Besides, why would he do that?”


    Chen Hao was at his wit’s end; he had even assumed Uncle Qin to be the mysterious man who had


    been helping him in secret, which made him feel very at ease as it had always been whenever Uncle


    Qin was by his side.


    “It sounds odd to me then. Why would he hide from you now if what you’re saying is true? Besides, if


    I''m not mistaken, the destruction of your Foundation was somewhat rted to him!” said Luo Ziyan


    after some contemtion.


    Chen Hao’s heart ached at her words, and he shook his head. “No, there’s no way Uncle Qin would do


    this to me. I wouldn’t believe he''s behind all this until I have enough proof to convince myself!”


    Just then, Fang Jiannan walked up and pointed at the giant python as she called out, “Look, Chen Hao!


    The giant python’s soul is fading away!”


    Chen Hao looked over immediately and without dy, used his Heaven Abstruse Skills to try to save


    the glowing mass by wrapping his vital energy around it.


    “It’s toote, Hao. My time hase. Don’t waste your vital energy for me! Remember what I’ve told


    you—be careful, and keep living!” said the giant python.


    “No! I won’t let you die like this!” said Chen Hao as he released more vital energy.


    “Thank you, Hao. It was a pleasant thing to have met you, a friend in this world who is kind to me and


    keeps me in your mind…”


    With that, the giant python’s soul disintegrated into glittering dusts, shimmering like fireflies in the dark


    before scattering away into nothingness.


    Chen Hao clenched his fists, recalling his vow to protect his friends and family from harm. The giant


    python had helped him the other day despite having met him only once, not to mention now that it had


    sacrificed its soul just for the sake of telling him that a wicked master had begun making his move; the


    giant python’s sacrifice had ended sadly with its soul disintegrating into nothingness.


    Chen Hao trusted the giant python as one of his own, yet he was helpless upon witnessing its death.


    Moreover, he was tricked into losing the Celestial War God’s remains.


    Unable to forgive himself, Chen Hao med himself so badly that he wished he could give himself


    some ps.


    “I’m not ming you, Hao. You have nothing to me yourself since this is perhaps predestined.


    Besides, you have to calm down, for the Stone of Fate has reminded us of the Chen Family apart from


    the tomb. Since the tomb was broken into, I worry that your family might be ambushed as well. We


    must hurry to your family!”


    Both Chen Hao and Chen Pingan’s hearts skipped a beat upon hearing Luo Ziyan’s words.


    “The Stone of Fate showed the tomb covered in ayer of darkness with an eerie silence, and it was


    the same with the Chen Family!”


    Upon hearing this, Chen Pingan’s eyelids twitched.


    “Hao, we must hurry back immediately!”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Chen Hao’s heart was in his mouth upon hearing Luo Ziyan’s reminder.


    She was right; since this murderer knew him so well, he must have known his family too. Could his


    family be ambushed as well?


    The thought made Chen Hao panic instantly.


    At Luo Ziyan’s instructions, Li Ba stayed behind to bury the giant python’s remains and to escort Fang


    Jiannan and the girls back to the Southern Region along the way.


    Meanwhile, Chen Hao would go ahead and return to the Chen Family’s residence with his Uncle and


    Ziyan.


    Now with Chen Hao’s ability, the return trip to the Chen Family’s residence in the Southern Region


    would take just a few hours.


    Miss Shen, Ziyue, and also Qin Ya, who was recuperating from sickness, should be in the Chen


    Family’s residence now. Chen Hao wondered if they were alright.


    Although the men from his grandpa’s Soul Pce were guarding the Chen Family’s residence, if the


    man, with such terrifying cultivation base that was enough to kill the giant python so easily, nned to


    do something terrible to the Chen Family, then Chen Hao was worried that no one else in the family


    could possibly stop him.


    “That’s the ind ahead of us!” said Chen Hao as he dashed over with his Uncle and Luo Ziyan.


    As his cultivation base was slightly higher than the other two, Chen Haonded first on the ind.


    The Chen Family residence now seemed to have lost its usual liveliness; its atmosphere was filled with


    an eerie silence and there was not a soul in sight on the gigantic ind.


    Was the Chen Family really ambushed right after the Celestial War God’s tomb, as shown by the Stone


    of Fate?


    Chen Hao’s heart began pounding heavily; each step forward took him a Herculean effort as he


    stepped slowly through the front entrance of the Chen Family’s residence…
