Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

That morning, Zhang Chen checked his storage bag and found enough things, so he came to a square on Chiyun Peak, which was the gathering place notified by the sect.

It was almost time to gather, and Zhang Chen's team had already arrived. Zhang Chen looked at the ten people in the square. Each of them had an excited look on their face, and seemed a little impatient to set off.

"They think of it as an outing, a trip for fun."

Zhang Chen looked at their helpless faces and shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that this mission was to test their character and temper their will.

"I need to establish my authority. Otherwise, if they don't obey my orders, accidents will easily happen."

After thinking about this, Zhang Chen walked towards them.

"Hello, senior brother."

"Hello, senior brother."

……

……

They all greeted Zhang Chen respectfully. They all acknowledged Zhang Chen's strength. Zhang Chen's moves in this competition were unexpected. Although they were all low-level spells, they were performed by Zhang Chen to perfection. Even those senior brothers who were at the seventh level of Qi Condensation were defeated by Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at them and said:

"This training is not for fun. You all need to be mentally prepared and put away your playful thoughts. When you are outside, you must follow my instructions. You are not allowed to act alone. You must ask for my permission before doing anything."

"do you know?"

Zhang Chen finally raised his voice and spoke to them.

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang."

Everyone answered loudly.

After a while, a figure was seen flying on a sword in the distance and approaching here at a very fast speed. When it got close, a middle-aged man was seen getting down from the sword.

Looking at the crowd, he asked:

"Where is team leader Zhang Chen?"

So everyone looked at Zhang Chen.

"Are you Zhang Chen? I'm Liu Yang, the one who's escorting you this time."

"Hello, Uncle Liu."

Zhang Chen quickly bowed to him.

"As their captain, although there is no major danger in this training, unexpected situations may still occur. I cannot be with you all the time, so you need to be more careful."

"Okay, I will definitely keep in mind what my uncle said."

"Then let's go."

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he took out a spirit ship and after inputting spiritual power, the spirit ship immediately turned into a large ship that was fifteen meters long and five meters wide. After everyone got on board, he activated the spiritual power, and the spirit ship slowly rose and flew straight out of the sect.

As the spirit ship flew along the way, after the initial excitement, everyone became quiet.

"Brother Zhang, do you know where we are going to practice this time?"

Someone started asking Zhang Chen questions.

"We are going to Tianshui County this time, which is close to the border. We may encounter some dangers, so we must be extra careful."

After flying for a day, the spirit ship arrived at Tianshui City, the county seat of Tianshui County. The spirit ship landed in an uninhabited mountain forest outside the city.

Liu Yang said to everyone:

"Now you just follow Zhang Chen's arrangements. I won't take action unless you are in a life-or-death crisis."

After saying this, he flew away on his sword and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After seeing Liu Yang leave, everyone turned to look at Zhang Chen.

"Now everyone change your clothes and dress like ordinary people. Do not cast spells at will and reveal your identity."

Zhang Chen looked at them and said that he had asked them to prepare their clothes when they came out.

After a while, Zhang Chen saw that they had all changed their clothes, so he took them into the city.

It was almost evening, so after entering the city, Zhang Chen took them to find an inn and booked six rooms, two people in one room and Zhang Chen himself in one room.

This inn is very big and can provide both accommodation and dining. After checking in, when Zhang Chen led them into the hall, a burst of fragrance hit them. Everyone swallowed their saliva and looked at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen himself hadn't eaten for a long time. The fasting pills could solve his hunger, but they could not replace the feeling that delicious food gave him.

So Zhang Chen took them to sit down in the hall and ordered many of the restaurant's signature dishes. After the dishes were served, everyone began to feast on them. They hadn't eaten for a long time, so the food tasted especially fresh and delicious.

At this time, a little girl about eight years old, thin, ragged, with a sallow complexion and messy hair, walked up to Zhang Chen, stared at the leftover bones, swallowed her saliva and said:

"Brother, can you give me this leftover?"

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at her, and could still hear her stomach growling in his ears, and he instantly felt extremely heartbroken. Zhang Chen was also born in a poor family. Although he didn't have any delicious food when he was a child, he never went hungry.

He immediately handed her the untouched steamed buns and some leftover meat jerky on the table.

The little girl was very surprised and looked at Zhang Chen with a bit of disbelief. She was a bit at a loss and didn't dare to take the thing Zhang Chen handed over. She said timidly:

"I'll have the leftover one."

Zhang Chen pulled her hand over and placed the steamed bun and meat jerky in her hands.

"Eat, we have plenty."

The little girl swallowed and did not eat the steamed bun and jerky in her hand. Instead, she took out a handkerchief, wrapped the steamed bun and jerky, and carefully put them into her chest.

"Girl, are you going to bring it to someone else?"

Zhang Chen asked with concern.

The little girl nodded.

"I'm going to take it to my brother."

"Your parents?"

Zhang Chen asked.

"My father was beaten to death, and my mother was kidnapped by bad guys."

The little girl said this sadly, tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Chen was furious after hearing this and was about to continue asking questions when he saw a dozen people wearing red cloaks, riding fast horses, with steel knives on their waists, galloping past the door of the inn.

The store was originally very noisy with voices everywhere, but it immediately became silent, as if some ferocious beast had come and scared everyone into not daring to make a sound.

When the sound of horse hooves faded away, voices gradually came from people in the store. Zhang Chen looked at the little girl and found that she was trembling all over, as if she had seen something very scary.

"Little girl, are you okay?"

"They were the ones who beat my father to death and took my mother away."

When the little girl was about to continue speaking, a waiter came over and drove her away.

Zhang Chen was about to open his mouth to stop him.

The guy seemed to know what Zhang Chen was thinking and said:

"Sir, you can't manage it."

Then he sighed, looking helpless.

Zhang Chen called the waiter over and asked who were the people who had just passed by.

But when the guy heard Zhang Chen ask this, his face turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to answer at all and turned around and left.

So Zhang Chen started asking the people eating next to him, but they were also hesitant, as if there was some taboo and they didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Chen decided to take his team of fellow disciples to the city to inquire tomorrow. It seemed that there was a group of bullies in the city who were doing all kinds of evil.

The next morning, Zhang Chen took his team, arranging them in teams of two, to go to the city to inquire about the situation, especially the group of people who passed by the inn yesterday.

Seeing that his fellow disciples had all left, Zhang Chen also walked out of the inn and prepared to look around. Suddenly, he saw two children in front of him, a boy and a girl. The boy was about ten years old and the girl was about eight years old. The girl was the little girl from last night.

Seeing Zhang Chen approaching, the little girl took the little boy's hand and said:

"Brother, he was the one who gave me food yesterday."

The little boy was also dirty and had a strange smell on his body. His belly was very big and he did not look normal at all. Zhang Chen took one look and guessed that he must be sick.

The little boy gave Zhang Chen a grateful look. Last night was the first time he had eaten meat in a long time.

Zhang Chen walked up to the little boy and said:

"Your belly is so big, you must be sick."

"Brother, what kind of dirt did you eat to make your belly so big?"

The little girl said beside her.

"Eat dirt?"

Zhang Chen was a little surprised. He touched the little boy's belly and found it was very hard. If he didn't get treatment right away, his life might be in danger.

After asking for the location of a nearby clinic, they took them there. It turned out that the little boy had eaten Guanyin soil, which made it indigestion and caused his stomach to swell like a drum.

After prescribing the medicine and coming out, Zhang Chen took out a bag with some change and a few pieces of gold in it. He quietly handed it to the little boy and told him to keep it safe and not let anyone else find it. Then he bought some food for them and let them go back first, telling them that he would find their mother.

Zhang Chen had just asked about their parents' situation. They didn't know much, only that they were a group of people wearing red cloaks, and they might not be the same group as the one Zhang Chen saw in the inn, so Zhang Chen wanted to wait for news from his fellow disciples before making a decision.

After two hours, most of the fellow disciples had returned, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. It turned out that the news they had heard was that there was a young marquis in Tianshui City who had a group of guards under his command, all of whom wore red cloaks and were known as the Red King of Hell.

These guards committed all kinds of evil in the city. It was common for them to abduct women and extort money. They also rode their horses recklessly in the city, killing or trampling at least ten people.

Zhang Chen could no longer suppress his anger after hearing this, and asked his fellow disciple:

"What is the purpose of our sect?"

"Protect the people of the world and seek benefits for them."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Then let's go."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he led them out of the inn and prepared to head towards the young marquis's mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the inn, he saw a little boy running towards him. There was a deep whip mark on his face. He hugged Zhang Chen's legs and cried.

"Please, save my sister, she is dying."

"What's going on? Take us there quickly."

The little boy was staggering, so Zhang Chen picked him up and found that he was very light, less than 35 pounds, and was just skin and bones. When he picked him up, he found that there were also whip scars on his back. With him pointing the way, they soon arrived at the clinic where Zhang Chen had brought them before.

At this time, the little girl was lying straight at the door of the clinic, her face pale. Many people around her were pointing and talking. Zhang Chen walked closer and took a look, and instantly became furious.

There was a deep whip mark on the little girl's abdomen, and blood had seeped through her clothes. Zhang Chen went forward to check on her. The little girl's breathing was so weak that she could hardly feel it, and her heart was beating very feebly, like a small flame that would soon go out.

The onlookers all looked sympathetic and numb.

"Those people are so cruel, they are like living devils. They can even kill such a young child."

"How pitiful."

"It's better to die, so you can suffer less."

……

We learned from them that the little boy and girl met those "Red Kings of Hell" on their way back. They were unable to avoid them and were severely whipped by them.

The little boy carried the little girl to the clinic with great difficulty, only to find that the money Zhang Chen gave him had fallen on the way. The clinic found that the little girl was already dying, and even using precious medicine to prolong her life would be meaningless, so they just left her to die on her own.

Zhang Chen ignored them and directly picked up the little girl. He took out a healing pill from the storage bag and gave it to her. Soon Zhang Chen felt the little girl's breathing become steady, her heart beat stronger, and her face regained its color.

Then he brought the two of them back to the inn, settled them in the room, gave the little boy a healing pill, told the waiter to take good care of them, and headed towards the young marquis's mansion with his fellow disciples.

Now Zhang Chen had only one thought: kill.
