Qianhe Town.
The sky was bright and the early morning mist still shrouded the town by the river. Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves quickly broke the tranquility of the town.
I saw a horse coming from the north, arriving at the entrance of the town along the straight and spacious official road, and stopped in front of a tea shed.
This kind of tea shed beside the official road and in front of the market usually also serves breakfast. There are already early risers sitting in it, eating hot tofu puffs and freshly baked steamed buns.
Seeing the horse parked in front of the tea shed, they all cast surprised glances.
Wang Chen jumped off the horse, took the reins and tied them to the horse posts nearby, and then said to the owner of the tea shed, "Shopkeeper, bring me a basket of steamed buns and two bowls of tofu. The tofu must be salty. In addition, feed my horse bales of grass and clean water. Remember to Add Points soybean meal and eggs."
The owner of the tea shed greeted him with a smile, "Okay, you can sit down first. The steamed buns and tofu will be served soon."
As a person like him who travels north and south doing small business, he has seen too many all kinds of people, and he has long developed a pair of sharp eyes, and he can see people indistinguishably.
Wang Chen may be dressed in ordinary clothes, but this horse is definitely not something ordinary people can own.
Moreover, the horse had obviously run a long way, panting and sweating profusely, but it still retained its true character as a divine horse!
The owner of the tea shed did not dare to show any slightness, so he called his wife to serve the horse specially, and he gave Wang Chen a basket of steamed buns and tofu puddings.
Wang Chen picked up a bun with his chopsticks and swallowed it in two or three bites.
Familiar taste from Ling Zhiyuan memory!
Since Ling Zhiyuan's martial arts enlightenment, Ling Hongyun would take him hunting in the wild every once in a while to cultivate Ling Zhiyuan's martial spirit.
Every time I go hunting, I have to get up very early, and then Ling Hongyun will first go to Qianhe Town's tea shed to have breakfast.
This Head of the Ling Family likes the steamed buns and tofu puffs here very much.
However, for the young Ling Zhiyuan at the time, getting up early to go hunting was quite a painful experience.
But the buns still taste very good.
After finishing the breakfast and feeding the mount, Wang Chen dropped a few taels of Shattered Silver and then walked away.
Qianhe Town is only ten miles away from Anyang City, and it doesn't take much time to ride a horse. However, after passing through the town, he did not go straight to the distant city, but turned into another trail.
Not long after, a cemetery nestled among green mountains and green waters appeared in front of Wang Chen.
This cemetery is Ling Family Cemetery, where the bones of clan members from past generations are buried.
Wang Chen first tied the mount in a secluded and uninhabited place, and then quietly sneaked into Ling Family Cemetery without alerting the tombkeeper.
The order of the tombs in the cemetery is very particular. Ling Zhiyuan follows his father here every year to worship his ancestors, so he is very familiar with the situation inside.
He soon found a newly built tomb.
The name on the tombstone is Ling Hongyun!
Wang Chen stood quietly in front of the grave for a moment, then took out the prepared sacrifices from the storage space and placed them on them.
After lighting the incense candle, he knelt in front of the monument with three incense sticks in his hand and paid a great tribute to his father.
Wang Chen said silently in his heart, "Blood debt must be paid with blood. I will definitely avenge you and let the messenger of the Lord get the punishment he deserves. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Making a blood oath, Wang Chen knelt down and kowtowed again.
When he stood up again, his life energy suddenly surged in his body, as if he had broken through some kind of barrier. There was no longer any obstacle to the world around him, and his mental consciousness became particularly sharp.
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, and he vaguely grasped something.
As an explorer from the upper world, he obviously followed a unique path Way of Entering the World.
Wang Chen believes that other Haotian Realm monks will never be as down-to-earth as him after they arrive.
Apart from anything else, if another Golden Core cultivator penetrated the body of Ling Zhiyuan, would the other party come to worship the father of the original body and kneel down to kowtow like Wang Chen?
Golden Core cultivator's pride won't allow it!
But Wang Chen has no such mental baggage at all. He is truly integrating into this body and this world.
Facts have proved that Wang Chen's approach is correct.
He lit the paper money on the ground and left quietly.
Wang Chen is not worried that this will expose himself.
When the tombkeeper noticed something strange here and came to inspect it, he would only think that it was some old friend of Ling Hongyun who did not want to cause trouble and came to pay homage.
After leaving the cemetery, Wang Chen found his mount and rushed to Anyang City.
Of course, he did not use his original appearance when he "went home" this time, so as not to be recognized before entering the city.
Although the current Wang Chen is already third-tier peak Martial Master, and also has the identity of Blood-Clad Guard, he does not feel that he can fight against the current current head of the Ling Family and the mastermind behind the scenes.
You must know that Ling Hongyun, who was assassinated, is Fourth Tier Martial General!
Wang Chen put on the mask originally given by Wei Zhengxiong, and made a careful disguise.
Compared with the first time he used Human Skin Mask, after three months of study, his level of disguise has improved by leaps and bounds, enough to deceive most people.
And Wang Chen doesn't intend to meet Ling Family either.
After entering the city, he stayed at an inn not far from the Ling Manor, and did not come out quietly until the middle of the night.
There was no one on the street at this time. Wang Chen, wearing a black night suit and a face mask, used the cover of night to sneak quickly in the shadows in front of and behind the houses.
Not long after, he arrived at the Ling Family Ancestral Hall.
Ling Family Ancestral Hall is adjacent to the Ling Manor, but the tablets of the ancestors of the Ling Family are enshrined inside. Except for a guard, there is no defense force.
After all, little thieves have nothing to steal here.
Therefore, Wang Chen easily climbed over the wall and sneaked into the ancestral hall.
Ling Family Ancestral Hall is quite large in scale, with a large ancestral hall in the front and a courtyard and wing rooms in the back.
Most of the rooms in the backyard are empty, and at most there are only some sundries for sacrifices.
By the moonlight, Wang Chen found one of the rooms.
Although the door was locked, Wang Chen easily opened it with just a piece of iron wire.
Gate of Opening entered the room, his eyes fell on the ground on the right side of the room, and he counted silently in his heart. "One, two, three..."
While counting, Wang Chen jumped and stepped on the wooden board.
When he stepped on the seventh board, he only heard a soft "click" sound, and the five floors on the left sank simultaneously, revealing a dark hole in the blink of an eye.
Done!
Wang Chen felt happy and jumped down.
Underneath the mechanism is a cave, surrounded by hard stone walls, with four bronze lamps hanging above.
Wang Chen stretched out his hands, grabbed the bronze lamps on the left and front respectively, and twisted them in different directions.
The rock wall in front of him suddenly shook, and countless dust fell.
