I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 585 Goodbye Zhang Gaqi

"What a strange power!"

Zhang Chen activated the power of death and felt the energy. It seemed that the energy had some inexplicable entanglement with the power of death, and there was some inexplicable induction between the two.

"What a strange power." Zhang Chen stood in the pavilion and watched for a long time, looking at the divine light covering the ancestral temple. In the end, he did not dare to act rashly. The tenth-level god was no joke.

A tenth-rank god would definitely not be worse than an immortal master of the same level.

"I need an opportunity to transfer the tenth-level god of the Shen family. Then I can go to the ancestral temple of the Shen family and take a look." Zhang Chen turned and walked towards the gate of the Shen family. He wanted to familiarize himself with the major forces in Jinling City, find the evil gods, and then steal the incense to increase his points, so as to strive to get the authority of the Wood Element as soon as possible.

Zhang Chen left the Shen Mansion without anyone stopping him. After he walked out of the Shen family compound, he walked through the crowded streets, looking at the vast sea of ​​people, wandering aimlessly, and asking about the location of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. He had no relatives in Jinling, like a blind man, and he needed to find acquaintances to quickly understand the situation in Jinling City, and then take the opportunity to find an opportunity to break the situation.

Just as he was strolling down the street, a surprised voice suddenly rang out: "Zhang Chen?"

Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face leaning against the window frame and shouting to him from the restaurant on the left. The other party's voice was full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he actually saw the little boy from the past thousands of miles away.

"Zhang Gasi?" Zhang Chen also saw the other party.

"Is it really you?" Zhang Gasi looked at Zhang Chen in disbelief, and waved at Zhang Chen from a distance, motioning Zhang Chen to come over.

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment, then went up to the restaurant and sat opposite Zhang Gaqi: "Why is Fourth Uncle here?"

"I came to Jinling City to do an important thing, but how did you appear in Jinling City? This place is nine thousand miles away from Goulan County. How did you get here?" Zhang Gasi's eyes were full of surprise.

“Fourth uncle should know that I am not an ordinary person. Although nine thousand miles is a long journey, for those of bloodline, there are always more opportunities than ordinary people.” Zhang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gasi did not believe that Zhang Chen had such ability. Even if Zhang Chen really awakened the power of his bloodline, he was still young. How capable could he be?

"Is this Xie Lingyun's method?" Zhang Gasi asked.

He knew that Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun were close friends. When they were in the north, he saw with his own eyes how Xie Lingyun protected Zhang Chen.

"I guess so." Zhang Chen replied slowly.

The other party was prejudiced against him and refused to believe him, and he was too lazy to prove it to the other party. When he heard the other party mention Xie Lingyun, Zhang Chen asked curiously: "How is Xie Lingyun now?"

He had been separated from Xie Lingyun for more than a year and had not heard from Xie Lingyun for a long time.

"I heard that Xie Lingyun is already half a step away from becoming a Yang God. If nothing unexpected happens, she will enter the realm of Yang God in another half a year. Xie Lingyun has stepped into the threshold of Yang God at such a young age, which caused a sensation in Kyoto. She is unanimously elected as the number one of the younger generation and the future standard-bearer of the Soul Dao. Her talent has shocked the Human King and she has been valued by him. Her future prospects are limitless. The Xie family has two Yang Gods, which makes them a top-notch dignitary even in the entire Dasheng Dynasty. They are the target of all parties to win over. Our Zhang family also wants to get close to the Xie family, but the father and daughter of the Xie family are like elusive female dragons, and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to see their whereabouts." Zhang Gasi looked at Zhang Chen with a gleam in his eyes. According to the relationship between Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun, if the Zhang family could use Zhang Chen to contact Xie Lingyun and thus make friends with the father and daughter of the Xie family, it would be beneficial to the Zhang family.

"She has become so famous?" Zhang Chen smacked his lips, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"My family wants to make friends with the Xie father and daughter. I wonder if you could write a handwritten letter and send it to Beijing to introduce them?" Zhang Gasi asked tentatively.

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhang Gaqi after hearing this and thought to himself, "I don't even know the situation of the Zhang family, how can I give my connections to the Zhang family? According to Zhang Gaoqiu's hostility towards me, I'm afraid there are many people in the Zhang family who don't want to see me get better. It's hard to tell whether Zhang Gaqi is a friend or an enemy, and I don't know which camp he belongs to, so how can I help him?"

Facing Zhang Gaqi's expectant eyes, Zhang Chen sighed softly: "Logically speaking, I am the blood of the Zhang family, and I have no choice but to contribute to the development of the Zhang family. However, I heard that someone in the Zhang family wants to replace my status and position. Not only do they want to marry the daughter of the Shen family on my behalf, but they also want to embezzle the things left by my mother and make me disappear from this world..."

Zhang Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip when he said this. He looked at Zhang Gaqi with a scrutinizing look in his eyes as he observed Zhang Gaqi's reaction.

As expected, as Zhang Chen finished speaking, Zhang Gaqi's expression changed, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes: "Who told you this?"

Zhang Chen smiled but said nothing in response to Zhang Gaqi's question. Zhang Gaqi gave a bitter smile and said, "You and your father will never have a chance to return to the North. You will die in the North forever, so some people in the family have other ideas. They want to take back the things that belong to my Zhang family from the Shen family. So they discussed with the Shen family and came up with a marriage strategy."

"Zhang family's things? Isn't that what my mother left me?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Your father is from the Zhang family, and you are also from the Zhang family. The things you left behind naturally belong to the Zhang family." Zhang Gasi said.

"But I have been expelled from the Zhang family's genealogy." Zhang Chen questioned.

Zhang Gaqi shook his head upon hearing this: "What happened back then was the will of the Human King. We had no choice. Many elders in the family regard your father as the hope for the future of the Zhang family. How can many things be restricted by a family tree?"

Zhang Chen did not comment on Zhang Gaqi's explanation. He blew on the tea, then lowered his head and drank it slowly.

"Who is the damn ghost gossiping about you? Although you are not in the family tree, you are a member of my Zhang family in life and a ghost of my Zhang family in death. Whoever dares to harm you is a blood relative killing each other. Just tell me and I will take care of it for you." Zhang Gasi said.

Zhang Chen shook his head upon hearing this: "Forget it, I'm not so weak that I need others to make decisions for me."

Zhang Gaqi looked at the stubborn Zhang Chen, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes: "You are just too stubborn."

"Why are you in Jinling? Are you here for a marriage?" Zhang Chen changed the subject and looked at Zhang Gasi.

"The inner courtyard of the academy has been opened. I have been ordered to deliver some mysterious objects to Chongzheng Academy in Jinling. Chongzheng Academy has been chosen by the great master as one of the branch courtyards, and he wants to open an inner courtyard branch. If I wanted to arrange a marriage, I should not be in the restaurant now, but in the Shen family. You know, I favor your father. When your father was alive, we had the best relationship. How could I get involved in such a mess?" Zhang Gaqi explained.

Zhang Chen remained silent upon hearing this. He didn't trust anyone until he knew the truth of the matter.

"Among the treasures I transported to Chongzheng Academy this time, there is a very unique one. It is said to be an incomplete twelfth-order secret. The secret contains a powerful force of space. If you want to make a difference in this world, you must find ways to enter Chongzheng Academy and obtain the twelfth-order secret. This is the first time I have seen a secret treasure containing the laws of space. The secret treasure is very mysterious and has been kept in the palace treasury, gathering dust. This time, the Human King took it out and gave it to the academy, also wanting to explore the mysteries of space." Zhang Gasi said.

Fearing that Zhang Chen might not take it seriously, Zhang Gaqi continued, "It is said that this secret treasure is connected to the legendary thirty-three heavens. Once it is opened, one can obtain the legendary peaches, elixir of immortality and other magical objects in the thirty-three heavens. So you should know its importance."

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this. Is there really such a treasure in the world? The last time he heard this news was when Chen Sanliang mentioned it.

Is there really a treasure that can open a passage between the two worlds?
"In that case, I have to go to Chongzheng Academy." Zhang Chen said thoughtfully.

"If you want to keep up with the trend of the times, you have to go!" said Zhang Gasi.

"Chongzheng Academy? I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Zhang Chen said to himself, and then he remembered that when he was selling ginseng, the shopkeeper mentioned the dean of Chongzheng Academy, whose son urgently needed ginseng to prolong his life.

"Logically speaking, with the power of my Zhang family, it would be easy to send you to any academy to study, but the old guy in Chongzheng Academy is different. That old guy cultivates 'impartiality and impartiality', and even the Human King cannot make him surrender. My Zhang family cannot extend its hand into Chongzheng Academy, so if you want to join Chongzheng Academy and pass numerous tests, you have to rely on yourself." Zhang Gaqi reminded.

Zhang Chen nodded very carefully upon hearing this, as if he had agreed to the other party's words. He now had a new goal in mind, which was to obtain the secret treasure in Chongzheng Academy that could open the space channel.

"I will be leaving Jinling soon. Can I take your younger brothers and sisters with me? The family has the best training and the best resources..." Zhang Gasi began to persuade him earnestly.

"No need to say more, this matter is not negotiable." Zhang Chen waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Gasi's words.

Zhang Gaqi was choked back by his words. He was speechless for a moment. He looked Zhang Chen up and down for a long time, and then he sighed quietly: "Zhang Chen, you don't have to be wary of everyone. We are a family."

"The Zhang family and the Pingbian Palace are closely connected. How can I trust you?" Zhang Chen asked back.

Zhang Gaqi was speechless, and after a long while he said, "You are alone and helpless in Jinling City. I will introduce you to a blood relative. He is your cousin and also lives in Jinling City. You two will have someone to look after in Jinling City. I will feel relieved if he can take care of you and give you someone to rely on."
