I, Ye Chen, turned out to be a top expert
Chapter 986 Treason
"Uncle Zhao, it's me, Zhang Chen!"
"I am back!"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't know what happened in the mansion right now. Why has it suddenly become so deserted?"
After Mingkong finished speaking, he strode towards the old man. Although Mingkong looked very young, he was actually over 60 years old. However, Mingkong practiced cultivation, and there was no trace of time on his face.
It feels like twenty years ago.
When the old man heard Mingkong's words and saw Mingkong walking up to him, he felt a little dazed.
"Master Chen, you are finally back."
"I never thought I would see you again in this life."
The old man grabbed Mingkong's arm, holding it tightly, as if Mingkong would disappear if he let go.
The old man had not yet embarked on a spiritual journey. At the age of eighty, he was already very old, and even his memory had become somewhat confused.
Mingkong's hand shook, and at that moment, a spiritual power slowly entered the old man's body, calming the old man's mind.
Seeing the old man calm down, Mingkong hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhao, what exactly happened in the mansion? I remember that the mansion was always bustling with people. Why did it suddenly become so deserted? Is it because of me?"
Mingkong felt extremely guilty at this moment.
The old man calmed down at this moment. After hearing Mingkong's words, he seemed to remember something and his face suddenly changed.
His mood suddenly became anxious. He grabbed Mingkong's hand and exerted force, his body trembling slightly.
"Master Chen, I'm old and confused. I actually forgot about this important matter. The Zhang family is finished."
"A few days ago, the Emperor dismissed the Prime Minister from his position and even sentenced him to death."
"Everyone who has been implicated by the Prime Minister has been suppressed. Most of the Zhang family are now in prison."
"Master Chen, please quickly think of a way to save them!"
The old man said anxiously at this moment.
Hearing this, Mingkong's face suddenly changed. Mingkong didn't expect that the situation was far more serious than he thought.
But then Mingkong also reacted. From Uncle Zhao's mouth, he knew that most of the people were in the prison, but what about the minority? Even if there were a small number of people, it couldn't be so deserted.
Mingkong looked at the old man in front of him and hurriedly sent more spiritual power to stabilize his emotions. The old man was very likely to die if his emotions fluctuated like this.
At the same time, Mingkong also asked anxiously, "Uncle Zhao, what about the other group? Where did they go? Why is the mansion so deserted? Did they escape?"
Mingkong asked the questions in his mind.
When the old man heard Mingkong's words, he hurriedly said, "The other part of the Zhang family is now in Wanmo City."
The moment Mingkong heard the three words "Wanmo City", his expression suddenly changed. Wanmo City is the territory of the demons. Why would the Zhang family members go there?
"Uncle Zhao, could it be that the demons have captured the Zhang family members?"
"Most of the Zhang family members have very weak cultivation. Why is this happening? Are the demons trying to capture them to prove the Zhang family's treason?"
Originally Mingkong was still able to remain calm, but the moment he heard the three words "Ten Thousand Demons City", his heart instantly became confused.
Seeing Mingkong was obviously upset, Ye Chen took a step forward and said, "Mingkong, calm down first. Don't be nervous. If you don't understand the whole story clearly, you won't be able to handle this matter at all."
"Your master is here now, so don't worry too much. Even if your people are trapped in the Ten Thousand Demons City, your master can still go and rescue them."
As Ye Chen's voice fell, a strange force fell on Mingkong's body, and the extremely anxious Mingkong calmed down instantly.
"Uncle Zhao, please sit down. Please sit down quickly and tell me what happened."
Mingkong helped the old man sit under the eaves. The old man took a deep breath and told him the whole story.
Zhang Chen's grandfather had strong cultivation and was the prime minister of Canglun Kingdom, second only to the emperor. However, because Zhang Chen fell in love with the witch, the old man was extremely heartbroken. At the same time, Emperor Canglun also became suspicious of the old man.
But at that time, Zhang Chen had not yet become a monk. Zhang Chen's talent was very strong. For a while, although the emperor of Canglun Kingdom was extremely dissatisfied with the Zhang family, he also suppressed the idea of eradicating the Zhang family.
However, after Zhang Chen entered the Buddhist sect and disappeared completely, another force emerged in the Canglun Kingdom. Not long ago, in a great battle between Canglun and the demons, the 20-strong army of Canglun was ambushed and no one survived.
20 troops were killed, and on the day when the 20 troops set out, the witch of the demon clan entered the prime minister's mansion in order to find Zhang Chen.
Even though the demon witch was driven away by the prime minister that day, the news still reached the palace.
20 troops were destroyed, and someone in the palace reported that the Prime Minister's Office was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. Emperor Canglun was furious, removed the Prime Minister from his post, and ordered the extermination of the three clans.
When the imperial guards arrived, the witch of the demon clan led the powerful demon clan members to fight with the imperial guards and rescued some members of the Zhang family. Because of this, it was completely confirmed that they were colluding with the demon clan.
"Tuoba Xue!"
When Mingkong heard that this matter was related to the witch Tuoba Xue, a look of self-blame involuntarily appeared on his face.
However, at this moment when Mingkong was blaming himself, the old man hurriedly said, "Master Chen, this matter is not Tuoba Xue's fault. Although Tuoba Xue has the blood of the demon clan and is not recognized by the Zhang family, she is a very infatuated woman. In fact, there is someone else who colluded with the demon clan."
When Mingkong heard this, his whole body trembled violently.
"Who?"
When Mingkong heard that this matter had nothing to do with Tuoba Xue, he instantly became happy. Although Mingkong knew that he and Tuoba Xue had no future, he felt better knowing that the Zhang family's disaster had nothing to do with Tuoba Xue.
"Minister of War, Zhu Wancheng!"
"Minister of War, Zhu Wancheng!"
The old man gritted his teeth when he read out Zhu Wanchen's name.
Mingkong frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhao, how do you know that it was Minister of War Zhu Wancheng who colluded with the demons?"
Mingkong looked directly into the old man's eyes, wanting to see if he was lying.
"Master Chen, when Tuoba Xue came to rescue us that day, she said this. We didn't believe her then, but Tuoba Xue swore in the name of the Demon God that this old servant dared not lie."
Mingkong frowned. "Zhu Wancheng hates the demons to the core. How could he betray them? How could he collude with the demons? All his sons died at the hands of the demons."
"Uncle Zhao, have you betrayed the human race? Otherwise, the entire mansion would have fallen into decline long ago. Why do you still exist?"
Mingkong's breathing couldn't help but become rapid.
The old man smiled bitterly and explained, "Master Chen, I don't know if you believe me or not, but I still want to say that the mansion was preserved because the people in the Zhang Mansion survived. A few of the geniuses went to the Demon Clan's Myriad Demons City, and some people are afraid that the Zhang family will return one day."
"As for the son of Minister of War Zhu Wancheng, he did not die, but was transformed into a member of the demon clan."
"This old servant will no longer be able to take care of Master Chen. I hope Master Chen can take care of himself!"
As the old man finished speaking, a knife suddenly appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it directly into his heart.
Everything was so abrupt that even Mingkong, who was standing next to the old man, didn't react.
"Uncle Zhao!"
Mingkong saw blood gushing out of the old man's chest, and a look of pain appeared on his face. He didn't expect that the old man would use death to prove that he was not lying.
At this moment, two figures appeared in the yard, one black and one white.
Standing aside, Ye Chen, who was a little anxious, was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the Black and White Impermanence would appear here at this moment.
Black and White Impermanence hurriedly stepped forward, "Black and White Impermanence, greetings, young master."
There was a look of fanaticism on the faces of the Black and White Impermanence.
Ye Chen was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Why are you two here?"
Black Impermanence spoke hastily, "To be honest, Zhao Deshan's life span has come to an end. The two of us are here to take him to the underworld for reincarnation."
When Mingkong heard this, his face suddenly changed and he wanted to say something, but at this moment Mingkong felt an extremely terrifying aura from the Black and White Impermanence.
Mingkong knelt down in front of Ye Chen with a thud, "Sir, please save my uncle Zhao's life."
