At the Summit of Liangshan?
Chen Qingyu was taken aback.
On this Desolate Continent, under the vast sky, there may be many Liangshan mountains.
But the most famous and most frequently mentioned one is undoubtedly the one in Central Heaven Prefecture.
The highest mountain range in the Desolate Continent is the Taihe Mountain Range.
However, the highest peak is not the main peak of the Taihe Mountain Range, but Liangshan in the northwest of the Heaven Continent.
Eighty thousand years ago, the Saint King Jue ascended this mountain and observed the sun and moon revolve for eight thousand days, thus establishing the Liangshan Wang Clan, which later became renowned throughout the Desolate Continent.
The fourth check-in location was surprisingly the Summit of Liangshan.
Chen Qingyu pondered for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts:
Perfect timing! The Liangshan Wang Clan still owes me a divine sword, and they want me to climb their clan's Sword Mountain to retrieve it personally.
When I finish my business in the Southern Region and return to the Central Plains, I will make a trip there.
For anyone else to climb to the Summit of Liangshan would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But given his status and his relationship with the Wang Clan, he felt that if he simply wanted to reach the Summit of Liangshan, there shouldn't be any problems.
They're gone.
With this thought in mind, Chen Qingyu didn't delay any longer and turned to leave.
A moment later:
He passed through the passageway of the underground palace and arrived at the entrance of the underground palace once again.
Lord Holy Messenger!
Zhang Liusheng, dressed in a red outfit, excitedly approached and asked impatiently:
I heard you just cured your cousin who was the first to contract the disease?
Is this true?
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
Yes, the news spread really fast.
Zhang Liusheng took a deep breath and quickly said:
You have no idea that ever since my Zhang Clan family contracted this strange disease, we have been living in its shadow every day.
Countless direct descendants were filled with anxiety, fear, and dread.
Now, a glimmer of hope has finally appeared, and this news has already caused a sensation throughout the entire inner city in a short time.
She paused for a moment before respectfully saying:
Now, many of our clansmen call you the great savior of the Zhang Clan.
When would you be willing to take action and completely cure this strange disease for us?
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly and comforted him:
Miss Zhang, there's no need to rush.
I've already promised your great-grandfather that I'll take action once I've investigated the Zhang family's affairs.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liusheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully:
Thank you for your help.
Chen Qingyu smiled and waved his hand, then said:
It's not a problem; from this day forward, I will no longer come to the Supreme Harmony Altar.
Miss Zhang, you don't need to wait for me here starting tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liusheng paused for a moment, a hint of disappointment unconsciously flashing in his eyes, and lowered his head to say:
Yes, I understand.
Um.
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly, cupped his hands in a salute, and said:
Then Mr. Chen took his leave.
As soon as he finished speaking:
He leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of starlight, and instantly flew away, heading towards the Morning Sun Hall.
Zhang Liusheng looked up at his departing figure and sighed softly.
A moment later.
Chen Qingyu, Wu Su'e, and Chen Guangsheng met Zhang Hechu again in the Morning Sun Hall.
Lord Holy Messenger.
Zhang Hechu bowed solemnly and said in a deep voice:
I have already informed the matriarch, and everything is arranged. Please follow me, all three of you.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
Alright, then please lead the way, Chief Zhang.
Zhang Hechu nodded and immediately led the three of them away from the Morning Sun Hall, flying towards the deepest part of the Zhang Clan's inner city.
They flew for half an hour:
Zhang Hechu led his group through several layers of heavily guarded defenses and array formations before finally stopping in front of a secluded and lonely hall.
We've arrived.
Zhang Hechu took a deep breath and pointed to the secluded hall, saying:
Beyond these palace doors lies the space where the old matriarch secluded herself.
After I announced it, the Old Madam opened the spatial portal, and you are all welcome to go there at any time.
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qingyu, a hint of apology in his eyes:
Your Excellency, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you inside, as the Dowager is still ill.
Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
It's alright, it's enough that Chief Zhang led us here.
He turned his head to look at Wu Su'e and Chen Guangsheng, and said;
Great-grandfather, Miss Wu, let's go in and see the old matriarch.
Wu Su'e nodded nervously, while Chen Guangsheng nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed.
tap tap tap
Chen Qingyu strode forward and pushed open the palace door.
Beyond the palace gate lay a bottomless, dark passage, surrounded not by walls, but by black void.
call!
He took a deep breath and stepped into the void passage in front of him.
There was no sensation where he landed, as if he were stepping on air, yet it miraculously supported his body, preventing him from falling.
No sound could be heard from within the passage; only a faint light could be seen at the end of the passage.
Walking here, I felt a strange sense of unease and palpitations.
Huhu Meow Meow Little Says
He took two deep breaths, his gaze resolute, and he was ready.
If this confrontation with the Old Matriarch of the Zhang Clan were to erupt into a major battle, it would immediately escalate into a full-blown conflict.
In a confrontation between such powerful beings, there was little difference between him and Wu Su'e; both were as insignificant as dust.
No need to worry.
Seemingly sensing his emotions, Chen Guangsheng patted his shoulder and said gently:
I'm here for you.
Whether she is actually sick or not, she won't cause any trouble.
Chen Qingyu felt a warmth in his heart and responded.
After walking along the void passage for a while, the faint light gradually grew larger.
A moment later:
The three of them stepped out of the void passage, and suddenly the space before them opened up.
Looking around, one is struck by the sight of a vast and luxurious palace, yet it is empty, desolate, and dimly lit, resembling a cold palace within the imperial palace.
cough cough
A weak, aged cough rang out.
The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw an elegant and graceful old woman reclining on a bright yellow bed.
She had a full head of white hair and was covered in wrinkles. She wore a bright yellow palace dress and a dull-colored gold hairpin.
You've arrived.
The old woman smiled, but her expression betrayed her weariness.
The old lady greeted her politely.
Chen Qingyu bowed respectfully and said:
I apologize for this intrusion, but it was out of necessity. I am here solely to clear Yanggu Zhang Clan of suspicion. I hope the old lady will understand.
He could clearly feel:
The old lady before me was also afflicted with that strange disease, and was even frighteningly weak, unable to even turn over.
In this state, even if she were a peerless expert at the Void Penetration Realm, she would pose no threat whatsoever.
Not to mention:
This Old Matriarch of the Zhang Clan, was already nearing the end of her life and didn't have much Lifespan.
It's alright.
The old woman shook her head, her voice low and hoarse:
If you have any questions, just ask.
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
