Chapter 562: Buried? Burned?
"Big Brother!!!"

Zhang Fei was listening to Zhang Chen's long-winded words. He was not convinced and was about to retort, but the next moment he saw Zhang Chen's body fall straight down, and the back of his head hit the boat board heavily. This scene immediately frightened Zhang Taowei and Zhang Fei so much that they quickly dropped their fishing rods and rushed over.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Taowei kept shaking Zhang Chen's body, her voice full of fear. But as her little hand fell on Zhang Chen's chest, she immediately realized that Zhang Chen's heartbeat had stopped.

Zhang Taowei is now also a second-level cultivator with quite good supernatural powers. As soon as he touched Zhang Chen's body, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Brother...brother's heartbeat has stopped!" Zhang Taowei stroked Zhang Chen's chest. After noticing that Zhang Chen's heartbeat had stopped, he quickly reached out to touch Zhang Chen's nostrils. However, Zhang Chen's breath had stopped at this time. How could he be alive?

"Brother, your heartbeat has stopped? Your breath has stopped too?" Zhang Fei, who was standing by, was horrified when he heard this. He quickly ran forward to feel Zhang Chen's breath, then he howled, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What happened to you?"

At this time, Zhang Taowei's face was pale, and tears fell from his eyes like beads that had broken off the string: "It's over! Big brother has been pissed off to death by the two of us! Big brother has been pissed off to death by the two of us!"

"Ah... Did our brother get mad at us?" Zhang Fei's face turned pale when he heard that. He immediately burst into tears, his voice full of panic: "What should we do? What should we do?"

The two children cried loudly, which immediately attracted the people around them. Among them, an elderly person looked at the two crying helpless children, lowered his head to check Zhang Chen's body, and confirmed that Zhang Chen's heartbeat had stopped and he had no breathing. He couldn't help but sighed softly: "There is no hope!" Then he reminded: "Where are your parents? Go and call your parents!"

Zhang Taowei was a little older. Although he was panicking at the moment, he had some ideas after hearing the elder's reminder: "Brother just died. Maybe he can be saved. Go and call mother and sister Chengyu. Sister Chengyu is a great cultivator. Her cultivation is much higher than ours. Maybe sister Chengyu can find a way to save brother."

Hearing Zhang Taowei's instructions, Zhang Fei hurriedly stood up and ran to the cabin in a panic. However, after running a few steps, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground and tumbled over. His head was bleeding and his face was bruised. However, he did not care about so much. He stumbled and ran while crying, "Mother, Sister Chengyu, my elder brother is dead! My elder brother is dead! Come quickly! Come quickly!"

Zhang Fei stumbled over there, where Zhang and Cheng Yu were doing handmade embroidery. Now that everyone was idle on the boat, they had to find something to do. And because of Cheng Yu's identity, he could not show his face in public, so as not to be seen by Huang Tiandao's people, so he kept a low profile.

At this moment, Zhang Fei's crying was heard in the distance. Zhang and Cheng Yu turned their heads quickly and saw Zhang Fei stumbling on the deck with blood all over his head, running and shouting "Brother is dead".

Hearing Zhang Fei's shouting and seeing his face covered in blood, Zhang and Cheng Yu felt their heads buzzing and they suddenly lost consciousness due to the world spinning around them.

Cheng Yu was a great monk who had reached the realm of possession. He was the first to come to his senses and threw down the embroidery in his hand. He rushed out quickly and grabbed Zhang Fei by the collar: "Where is Zhang Chen? What happened? Who killed Zhang Chen!!!"

Zhang Fei's face was pale at this time. He wiped the blood from his forehead miserably, making his entire face blurry. He said sadly, "No one killed big brother. It was my sister and I who pissed him off to death! It was my sister and I who pissed him off to death!"

Zhang Fei was so frightened at this time that his speech was incoherent.

"Is he mad at you?" Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard that. He didn't have time to ask more questions. He just pushed Zhang Fei and said, "Go to the front and lead the way for me! Go to the front and lead the way for me!"

All she knew now was that her junior fellow apprentice was dead! She wanted to see her junior fellow apprentice! If he was alive, she wanted to see him in person; if he was dead, she wanted to see his body!

Zhang Fei hurriedly led the way with weak hands and feet, and Zhang came to her senses at this time. Her hands and feet were weak, and she stumbled after him: "What happened? How did your eldest brother die? Who killed your eldest brother?"

Zhang Chen is the pillar of the family. Everyone in the family depends on him for survival. If anything happens to anyone, Zhang Chen must not be harmed at all. If Zhang Chen dies, how will his family survive in this chaotic world?
"What's going on?" Zhang ran after him in a panic. She even lost one of her shoes. She felt dizzy and her head was buzzing.

Zhang Fei cried even harder after hearing that. However, facing Zhang's questioning, he had no choice but to tell her that he and his sister had angered Zhang Chen to death.

Zhang became furious upon hearing this and slapped Zhang Fei on the back of his head. Zhang Fei was already so frightened that his legs went limp, and after being slapped by Zhang, he staggered and fell to the ground. However, Zhang and Cheng Yu didn't even look at Zhang Fei, they just stepped past him and ran away.

At this time, a crowd of people gathered on the deck, surrounding Zhang Taowei and Zhang Chen. Zhang Taowei's crying voice could be heard from afar through the crowd.

After Zhang Taowei and Zhang Shi passed through the crowd, they saw Zhang Taowei lying on Zhang Chen's chest, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Zhang Chen!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly came to Zhang Chen and placed his finger on Zhang Chen's heart. He saw that Zhang Chen's heartbeat had indeed stopped. Then he touched his breath, but there was no reaction at all. He touched Zhang Chen's body again, and his body temperature had already cooled down! He tried to feel the fluctuations of Zhang Chen's soul again? How could Zhang Chen's soul still fluctuate?
"It's over!" Cheng Yu fell to the ground with a pale face and eyes full of disbelief: "How could he die? How could he die?"

"How is he?" Zhang came forward with a pale face: "Can Zhang Chen be saved?"

Seeing Cheng Yu fall to the ground, Zhang suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"He's almost frozen! There's no hope!" Cheng Yu was shaking all over, his eyes full of disbelief: "How could he die? How could he be so angry to death after reaching his level of cultivation?"

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu gradually regained his composure, with a shrewd look in his eyes: "Something is wrong! Something is wrong! It's totally wrong! How could Zhang Chen be so angry that he died? He must have been killed by someone!"

"Who harmed you? Who was the one who secretly poisoned you? I must find the murderer. Even if I have to go to the ends of the earth, I will grind his bones to ashes to avenge you!" Cheng Yu's tears flowed down his face. His eyes were fixed on Zhang Chen's body, trying to observe all the traces on Zhang Chen's body, find out the cause of Zhang Chen's death, and trace it back to the murderer who killed him.

"Is there really no hope?" Zhang still couldn't believe that the pillar of her family had died like this. She stared at Zhang Chen's body with eyes full of sorrow.

"It's hopeless!" Cheng Yu took a deep breath.

At this time, Zhang Fei also caught up and fell to the ground crying. The two little ones cried until their eyes were red, and snot and tears flowed down. Zhang looked at the two crying little ones and raised her hand and slapped them: "It's all because of you two evil creatures. You pissed off your eldest brother to death!"

He raised his hand high, but Cheng Yu grabbed it and said, "Don't blame them. I know Zhang Chen's ability. How could he be so angry to death?"

Cheng Yu's words made Zhang pause. She turned her scarlet eyes to look at Cheng Yu, and her voice was full of gloom: "Are you saying that Zhang Chen was murdered by someone?"

Before Cheng Yu could answer, Zhang suddenly realized, "That's right! You're right! How could someone who has cultivated to his level be so angry that he would die?"

Cheng Yu gradually regained his composure, recalling how Zhang Chen had been wrapped in a quilt and wearing a bamboo hat, and then said, "Perhaps his practice went wrong, or he was secretly harmed by someone else. No matter what, I must find out the truth! It's a pity that his soul is gone. If we can find his soul back, maybe we can find out the truth."

"Soul...Soul...I have a way!" Zhang hurriedly spoke after hearing Cheng Yu's words.

Cheng Yu looked at Zhang, and heard Zhang say: "The Zhang family controls the power of souls. If we can ask the Zhang family for help and find Zhang Chen's soul, we may be able to revive him. At the very least, we can know the truth of the matter!"

"Zhang family? The Zhang family members are far away in Kyoto. Where can we find them?" Zhang's eyes were dim.

"We can't find anyone from the Zhang family, but we can find someone from the Shen family. I know the Shen family has a kind of elixir called the Seven Treasures Locking Heart Pill. Every direct descendant of the Shen family will carry it with them when they go out. It is the Shen family's life-saving elixir. If we can ask the Shen family for this medicine and preserve eldest brother's body, we will have time to deal with it. Whether we look for someone from the Zhang family or find the prescription ourselves, it is an opportunity!" Cheng Yu said.

This is the Shen family's big ship, and on board are the Shen family's direct descendants. If Zhang Chen can ask the Shen family for help, perhaps he can be saved.

Zhang Taowei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's the best! First, save big brother's body, and then we can find a way to recover his soul. If we can recover big brother's soul and put it back into his body, we may be able to save him before his body cools down, and we can also find out the truth of the matter."

Zhang Chen didn't want to have any contact with the Shen family, but he never thought that after all his planning, he would eventually have a connection with the Shen family.

"I'll go and ask the Shen family for help! Zhang Chen has half of the Shen family's blood flowing in his body. They can't just stand by and watch him die for the sake of our fellow clan members." Zhang wiped her tears, then stood up, pushed away the people gathered there, and walked towards the direction of the manager of the large ship in the distance.

"We'll go with you!" Zhang Taowei got up and hurriedly chased after Zhang. That was her own brother, so how could she still sit still?
Zhang Fei, who was standing by, wiped the snot and blood off his face, then stood up and rushed out: "Take me with you! I'll go with you!"

Looking at Zhang's receding back, Cheng Yu did not move, but wanted to guard Zhang Chen's body to avoid any accidents.

"I hope everything goes well." Cheng Yu sighed softly.
