Zhuo Hongmei knew.

What place are they talking about?

My father always kept that a secret.

It was like a nightmare!

"Yangzi, is the antidote really... only found there?"

Chen Yang nodded silently.

Zhuo Hongmei was in tears.

She was very conflicted.

She wanted to save her father.

He must enter this mysterious place, where Chen Yang will face a life-or-death situation.

Even worse, it could mean certain death.

Do not go to mysterious places.

The father must die!

How is she supposed to choose?

pity.

She and her younger brother Zhuo Xiaogang had relatively low levels of martial arts skills.

They are simply not up to the task of gathering herbs.

The room was completely silent.

at last.

Chen Yang broke the silence.

"Uncle, I know you're worried about my safety."

"They don't want me to take risks."

"Some time ago."

"I am not strong enough, only at the level of a warrior general, so I did not persist."

"now."

"My strength has reached the level of intermediate-level martial artist."

"Shouldn't you be qualified to enter the mysterious land?"

Zhuo Wuyang was very surprised!

Its eyes were bulging out and almost fell to the ground.

"You've reached the intermediate... Mingwu level?"

"But I sense that you still possess the aura of a War General?"

Chen Yang smiled.

"Uncle, your feeling is right."

"My physical condition is indeed still at the warrior level."

"but."

"With my powerful combat skills, I can definitely face an intermediate-level martial artist head-on."

Zhuo Wuyang praised it highly.

"You're a real martial arts prodigy."

"How much progress has he made in such a short time!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, as if she were thinking of Zhuo Xiaogang.

"It's a pity that I've held Xiaogang back."

Zhuo Xiaogang's childhood was the best time to lay a solid foundation.

Zhuo Wuyang, however, was preoccupied with the poison and had to fight the disease with all his heart, leaving him with no energy to teach his son how to build a foundation.

This resulted in his slow progress despite his considerable talent.

To this day, he remains at the general level.

Chen Yang quickly comforted him.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely help Xiaogang in the future."

"As long as he is willing to learn, I will not hold anything back."

Chen Zhongshi and Zhuo Wuyang hit it off immediately.

Zhuo Xiaogang also admired and respected Chen Yang greatly.

I fear neither heaven nor earth.

He only listened to Chen Yang's advice.

The brotherhood between two generations is truly a special bond.

Zhuo Wuyang was filled with emotion for a long time.

Finally, he spoke.

Even if you possess the strength to enter the mysterious land.

"You can't get in either."

Chen Yang was puzzled.

"Why?"

Zhuo Wuyang stared blankly at the ceiling.

My thoughts seemed to drift back to many years ago.

"That place is very mysterious, extremely remote, and deserted."

"Ordinary people could never find it, no matter what."

"Back then, we were able to get in because of a map."

“Even with the help of a map, it took us ten days to find the location after we got off the bus in this desolate place.”

“What’s even more terrifying is…”

"The terrain and landforms were very similar along the way, and there were no obvious reference points at all."

"Even if I've been inside once, I'd get lost 99% of the time if I went back."

"We simply cannot find the correct route."

Chen Yang's brows furrowed.

"map?"

"Where is this map now?"

Zhuo Wuyang shook his head.

"I have half a map here."

"You definitely won't get your other half."

"Because it's in the hands of that traitor."

As he spoke.

He took out an object wrapped in layers from his pocket.

It was placed in Chen Yang's hands.

Chen Yang unfolded it and saw that it was indeed a map.

only.

The label above is very blurry.

There are no particularly obvious place names.

There are only lines.

It could be a route, or it could be a river, or a mountain range.

Zhuo Wuyang looked at him.

"You don't need to study it anymore."

"I've looked at this picture for decades, and I know it by heart."

"But even though I've seen the complete map and been to that dangerous place."

"We still can't match it with the existing maps."

Ultimately, it was a no-man's land.

"There are no roads, and they are not clearly marked on the map."

"Only by closing the other half of the map and following the lines to move forward can you find the right direction."

Chen Yang slumped down and folded the map.

"Uncle Zhuo, then tell me, where can I find that person?"

"I'm going to get the other half of the map."

"If all else fails, borrowing it will do."

Zhuo Wuyang shook his head decisively.

"no!"

You don't know this person.

"He is a very cunning and ruthless person."

"I've kept a low profile all these years because I was afraid he would kill me to silence me."

"If you take the initiative to run up to him and see that you have martial arts talent, nine times out of ten, he will eliminate you completely."

"Because of him, I've been worried about him and want to get revenge."

"In fact, the pain and toxins in my body saved my life."

“He doesn’t care about someone who poses no threat.”

Chen Yang was unwilling to give up.

"Now that I have the strength of an intermediate-level martial artist, do I really have no ability to protect myself at all?"

Zhuo Wuyang shook his head.

"It's not your fault."

"For someone your age, having this level of ability is quite impressive."

“Back then, we were a bit older than you, but only about the same age as you.”

"but."

"You are definitely no match for him now."

"Decades have passed, and his skills must have greatly improved."

"At least a Dark Warrior."

"It could even be a shadow warrior, or a true warrior."

Zhuo Hongmei also nervously grabbed Chen Yang.

"Yangzi, you'd better not go looking for him!"

"This is no different from going to your death."

Chen Yang felt a wave of frustration!

"But……"

Zhuo Wuyang, however, made the final decision.

"Stop talking!"

"I will never let you go and die for me!"

The discussion ended unhappily.

Before leaving the villa, Chen Yang instructed Bao Qingqing to find someone to take special care of Zhuo Wuyang.

Call him anytime if anything happens.

Zhuo Hongmei stayed at the villa to talk with her father.

Chen Yang drove alone.

We arrived at the hotel we had booked.

18:00 sharp.

Black Tiger arrived right on time.

Chen Yang waited for him at the restaurant entrance.

"Tiger, you're here!"

Black Tiger smiled and put his arm around Chen Yang's shoulder.

"Brother, why are you being so polite?"

Chen Yang also hooked his arm around his neck.

"You're my elder brother, how could I not greet you?"

He saw Black Tiger glare at him.

Chen Yang laughed.

Just kidding!

"I just want to see you as soon as possible, I'm so eager to do so!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Good brother..."

Both of them were doing secret work and did not invite outsiders.

In a small, exquisite private room.

We ordered a bottle of Moutai and five signature dishes.

We chatted and drank, which was very relaxing.

Black Tiger took a sip of wine.

He said excitedly:

"You did a great job on this trip to Hong Kong, you made up for the losses, and the higher-ups are very satisfied."

"I reckon you're going to get another award for your good work."

Chen Yang shook his head slightly.

"I don't care about being recognized for my merits or receiving awards."

"We're all doing our jobs for the country, there's nothing to fuss about."

"I don't need a little something, it's mainly my brothers, I can't let them work for nothing."

Black Tiger nodded emphatically.

"Yes, we can't let them work for nothing."

"This is an honor that cannot be forgotten!"

"Moreover, everyone has to support their families. Like me, besides bringing honor to my ancestors, I also have a wife and children to support."

Chen Yang gave a thumbs up.

"That's right!"

The two were enjoying their drinks.

Liu Sisi suddenly called.

"Chen Yang, something's happened!"
