Shortly after Zhang Fan destroyed the Tianlong Sect, an organization began selling information about him.
Many forces wanted Zhang Fan, but they couldn't find him, so they set their sights on his family.
These people knew that Zhang Fan only had one relative—Li Chunyan.
These people all planned to kidnap Li Chunyan, and three forces arrived in one night.
The three groups collided and started fighting, destroying Zhang Fan's house.
Li Chunyan tried to escape, but the demons ripped out her heart, and Bai Rou'er was captured by them.
Zhang Fan was struck dumb, his eyes bloodshot as he asked, "What did you say?"
Su Qin was startled by Zhang Fan's fierce appearance. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes as she comforted him, "Our people arrived just in time and used a magical artifact to preserve your sister-in-law's soul. She is now in a half-dead state."
"The director said that the fox clan might have a way to bring your sister-in-law back to life, but I don't know anything else. You'll have to ask the director yourself."
Zhang Fan's face darkened: "Let's go!"
Zhang Fan didn't sleep the whole way; his fingers were practically smoking from all the clenching, but he still couldn't figure out the result.
They couldn't determine whether Li Chunyan was alive or where Bai Rou'er had been taken.
However, if the other party is doing this for him, they probably won't make things difficult for Bai Rou'er for the time being.
Zhang Fan was in a hurry to get going, so Hao Sanjun was given six cups of coffee and had acupuncture points injected by Zhang Fan to keep him alert. He drove to Kyoto with perfect clarity.
This is on the outskirts of Kyoto. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary clothing factory. But once you walk in, you can see many people cutting fabric and sewing clothes.
Su Qin entered an office, then walked to the wall, entered the password, and a machine rose up. After iris recognition, the wall pushed open to reveal an old-fashioned elevator.
The elevator went straight down to the ground floor, and Zhang Fan then discovered that there was more to it than met the eye.
They stood in the very center, surrounded by offices. Not only were there people, but you could also see some animals using computers just like people.
However, Zhang Fan had no time to think about any of that; he just wanted to know how Li Chunyan was doing.
Seeing that Zhang Fan had no interest in appreciating the scenery, Su Qin didn't introduce anything and led Zhang Fan directly to the director's office.
"Director, Zhang Fan is here."
The office chair spun around, and a man who looked to be in his forties appeared before him. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and his gaze was direct, as if he could see through the secrets in people's hearts.
Su Qin's legs felt a little weak. She smiled at the director and hurriedly tried to leave: "Director Fang, the person has been brought here. I'm going to take my leave."
"Hello, my name is Fang Zhidong. You can call me Director Fang, just like they do." Fang Zhidong stood up and extended a hand to Zhang Fan.
"Where is my sister-in-law?" Zhang Fan didn't respond, his eyes fixed on Fang Zhidong.
Fang Zhidong paused for a moment, then rubbed his temples: "This Su Qin, we asked her to keep it a secret and she turned out to be a huge sieve. I'm going to cancel all her leave next year."
At the same time, Su Qin, who was happily applying a face mask, sneezed. She glanced at the thermometer: 30 degrees Celsius. She shouldn't be cold.
Su Qin lay back in the rocking chair, humming a little tune leisurely, completely unaware that her leave had been canceled.
Fang Zhidong said to Zhang Fan, "I'll take you there, but I need to be next to you to do so."
He knew Zhang Fan didn't trust him, so he told Zhang Fan in advance.
After receiving Zhang Fan's affirmative nod, Fang Zhidong raised his hand and placed it on Zhang Fan's shoulder.
Zhang Fan saw a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself in a hospital room.
Li Chunyan's face was as white as paper, her body was covered with tubes, and she was encased in a glass dome. A large hole was cut open in her chest, revealing a metal heart.
Fang Zhidong: "This metal heart will keep your sister-in-law alive, but without her heart, she will be a vegetable forever."
Zhang Fan: "Where is her heart?"
Fang Zhidong: "We have been investigating, and all we know is that the person should be in Tushan."
"Tu Shan?" Zhang Fan instantly thought of Tu Shan Duo Duo. She also wanted to dig out his heart. Could it be that she did it?
Fang Zhidong: "It's Tushan from the mythological story."
Tushan was the residence of the Tushan clan, and Yu the Great's wife was from this clan.
When Yu the Great was taming the floods, he passed by his home three times without entering. His wife, Tushan Shi Nu, often stood on a rock by the river, calling for her husband to return. As time passed, Tushan Shi Nu turned into a rock and merged with the rock she stood on, which people called the "Calling-Home Rock".
Fang Zhidong: "The current Tushan clan are descendants of the Tushan clan woman, and they now live near Huguishi."
Zhang Fan: "I'm going to find them."
Fang Zhidong: "The Tu Shan clan is very powerful, you can't go!"
The current leader of the Tushan clan, Tushan Guanfu, is incompetent, so he devotes his energy to unorthodox methods.
The human soul is born with spiritual energy, and the heart is the source of that spiritual energy.
Therefore, Tu Shan Guan Fu went around digging out people's hearts in order to cultivate faster.
Zhang Fan felt a chill run down his spine, wondering if his sister-in-law's heart was safe.
Fang Zhidong noticed his confusion and explained, "The protective spirit you planted in your sister-in-law's body can't be eaten by Tushan Guanfu for the time being, so your sister-in-law is safe for now."
"He took your sister-in-law's heart so he could dig yours out. If you go, you'll fall into his trap."
“Our people have already infiltrated the area. When the time is right, they will steal your sister-in-law’s heart. You cannot go out now.”
Zhang Fan clenched his fist: "My sister-in-law saved my life, I can't abandon her."
Fang Zhidong: "It's not that you should ignore her. The most important thing for you now is to hide yourself and protect yourself. We will definitely rescue your sister-in-law."
Zhang Fan's voice was icy: "Wasn't my sister-in-law's heart stolen right under your noses? Do you think you can believe me?"
Fang Zhidong awkwardly touched his nose: "The Tushan Clan hasn't left the mountain for a long time, we didn't expect them to do this."
Zhang Fan: "So what exactly are the users of my heart?"
Fang Zhidong: "You single-handedly destroyed the Tianlong Sect, and now all sorts of forces want to win you over. I don't know who leaked this information."
Zhang Fan: "So my heart is no different from anyone else's?"
Fang Zhidong: "Your spiritual energy is quite strong, so eating this will make you achieve twice the results with half the effort. There is a difference."
Zhang Fan: "You're keeping me here because of my heart condition?"
Fang Zhidong: "We don't need to cultivate with such evil techniques. I have high hopes for you. In this time of scarce spiritual energy, you have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage on your own. You are a true genius."
"I know you don't trust me, but I'll show you our department's combat force."
He placed his hand on Zhang Fan's shoulder.
Zhang Fan's vision flashed, and he finally appeared in front of a transparent room.
The room was made of glass on all four sides, and two men were fighting shirtless.
To the naked eye of an ordinary person, it just looks like a fight with some moves, but in Zhang Fan's eyes, the spiritual energy gathered in their fists is extraordinary.
Judging from their appearance, both of them are at the Nascent Soul stage.
Their fists clashed in mid-air, unleashing shockwaves, and a tremendous force surged toward Zhang Fan.
