Chapter 1319 That May Not Be
"Do you want to watch the Zhang family die out?" The voice of the Goddess of Hanba sounded again.
"Twenty years." Zhang Chunqiu's voice remained firm as iron. "Every time someone dies in the Zhang family, ten more years will pass. What you took from the Zhang family, you must return."
"You have ten seconds." The cold voice of the Goddess of Hanba came again.
Time passed by second by second, but Zhang Chunqiu remained unmoved. His palm was already on the coffin, and he muttered to himself calmly: "Little sister, I will take you on the road with me."
Seeing that Zhang Chunqiu was about to turn into a demon, he was ready to destroy the coffin, but the surrounding underground fire suddenly subsided. Although the Zhang family's demonization symptoms did not recover, they did not worsen either.
"Twenty years, I agree." The Goddess of Han finally gave in. Just as Zhang Chunqiu said, if she had the ability to take Zhang Yuzhi away directly, she would not have negotiated with the Zhang family.
It is easy to kill Zhang Yuzhi, but in order to merge with her, Zhang Yuzhi needs to cooperate with her voluntarily. If all the members of the Zhang family are killed, there is no way that Zhang Yuzhi will voluntarily merge with her again.
"Then let's swear an oath to heaven and earth." Zhang Chunqiu was still so calm, without any joy of escaping death.
"Do you really want to die?" the Goddess of Hanba asked coldly.
"I just don't want to die without knowing why." Zhang Chunqiu said lightly.
"I swear in the name of Hanba that I am willing to make a contract with this human for twenty years. If I break this oath, heaven and earth will hate me." Hanba finally couldn't resist the temptation to escape and made a vow.
"Little sister, don't blame me. I can't do anything about it." After hearing the oath of the Goddess of Drought, Zhang Chunqiu carried the coffin and walked towards the corpse flower.
The corpse flower was snow-white and crystal clear, appearing spotless, yet it exuded a strange aura that made people shudder at the sight of it.
Uncle Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although the process was very thrilling, the Zhang family was finally saved. Moreover, being able to contract with a being like Hanba for twenty years, the Zhang family's rise is just around the corner.
It is possible that they may even become the true ruler of the Earth in the future, rather than just one of the six heroic families.
At this time, Zhang's uncle suddenly felt that although Zhang Chunqiu's move was a bit too risky, he also gained huge benefits.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Chunqiu carried the coffin to the corpse flower and slowly placed it on top of the corpse flower.
Seeing that the corpse was about to swallow the coffin, Uncle Zhang thought that the matter was finally settled, but suddenly he saw a golden light shining from one of Zhang Chunqiu's hands.
"Taishang Laojun... hurry up and obey the order... heaven and earth are boundless... borrow the law of Qiankun... Five Thunders and Heavenly Gang..." Zhang Chunqiu's white hair and robes were flying, he was still protected by the heroic spirit, and the yellow paper talisman in his hand was shining with golden light.
He was too close to the corpse flower, and no one had time to stop him. The moment the yellow paper talisman, shining with golden light, touched the corpse flower that was so close to him, it burst into golden lightning.
The golden lightning carried an extremely strong and masculine force, instantly turning the corpse flower into charcoal, and it turned into ashes at the touch of a finger.
Uncle Zhang's mouth opened wide, he was dumbfounded, and he muttered nervously to himself: "No... no... it's impossible... how could this happen... no... it's impossible... we can't die... we can't die..."
Many people in the Zhang family were also a little surprised. They did not expect that Zhang Chunqiu would dare to do this, and no one knew that Zhang Chunqiu would do this beforehand.
Zhang Siyou seemed somewhat relieved. The Five Thunder Talismans left by the Taoist Priest Tianshi was originally given to Zhang Chunqiu by him to save his life. Zhang Chunqiu used it to destroy the corpse flower. Although he did not tell Zhang Siyou, Zhang Siyou felt that this was what Zhang Chunqiu should do. Although he knew that the Zhang family would not be able to escape the disaster, he did not blame him.
"Do you know what you are doing?" The cold voice of the Goddess of Drought came.
"The shaking of the earth and fire, the growth of the corpse flower, and the living dead, all three are indispensable. Now that you don't have the corpse flower, it's useless even if you have the living dead. I only know that you can't be born." Zhang Chunqiu was still so calm.
"Your impulsiveness will cost the entire Zhang family." The Goddess of Hanba said again.
"Death? It doesn't matter. I have done what I wanted to do. Even if all the people in the Zhang family die, one person will not die. That's enough..." Zhang Chunqiu's white robe fluttered, and he pressed his hands hard on the coffin. A net-like golden light covered the coffin, making it disappear in an instant.
"I'm afraid death will only be a luxury for you." Along with the voice of the drought goddess, the underground fire surged again, covering many people in the Zhang family.
"Let's go, go as far as you can." Although Zhang Siyou knew that running away was useless, it was better than standing there and waiting to die.
Some of the Zhang family members fled, while others were still hesitating. But then they saw the seventh uncle, who had committed suicide, roll over and get up from the ground. He wiped the blood from his head and flew back quickly, shouting as he flew, "What are you all standing there for? Run! It's always been the Zhang family who catches ghosts. Do you want to become dead ghosts?"
Everyone was stunned, then overjoyed and followed Uncle Seventh to escape.
Unfortunately, although they fled quickly, how could they be faster than the existence of the drought goddess? When they were flying in the sky, the earth fire had already covered them.
Many of the Zhang family members fell to the ground, their hair, skin, nails and pupils quickly turning white, and they were all turning into demons.
Zhang Chunqiu did not run away, he knew that he could not escape. Looking at the Zhang family members who were in pain and demonic, Zhang Chunqiu felt a little guilty, but he did not regret his decision.
He did what he wanted to do and saved the people he wanted to save. It was enough that the Zhang family had one person alive, and that person was not affected by the devil.
"Everyone in the Zhang family will turn into demons because of what you did. They will no longer have human emotions. They are neither human nor ghost. They are bloodthirsty and will eat their own kind... Do you regret sacrificing everyone for one person?" The Goddess of Han asked coldly.
"Even if you know you are a demon, there are things you have to do. Why should you regret it?" Zhang Chunqiu said frankly.
"Really? Some people may not think so." The Goddess of Drought seemed to be hinting at something.
Zhang Chunqiu's face changed slightly, because he saw that Zhang Yuzhi, who was sent away by him using the Five Ghosts Moving Method, actually came back.
"Yuzhi, don't come over here, leave here immediately." Zhang Chunqiu wanted to rush towards Zhang Yuzhi, but his body had been demonized too seriously, and he fell to the ground instead.
Zhang Yuzhi looked at the Zhang family members who had become like ghosts one by one, and walked over and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, if I continue to live like this, my life will be more painful than death."
"Stupid, it's useless for you to come back now. Without the corpse flower, the drought demon cannot be born, and she will not let us go. You will die in vain if you come back..." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"That may not be the case." The voice of the Goddess of Hanba was full of mockery. As her voice sounded, corpse flowers condensed once again in the flames.
