When Zhou Quan returned home, he saw Li Mai lying on the couch in the outer room, waiting for him.
He walked over silently and sat down next to her.
Li Mai reached out and grasped his hand. "Tell me the details."
Zhou Quan then told her about what happened after they went out.
It turned out that Zhou Quan, Zhou Heng, and Zhou Huang had not yet reached the vicinity of Zhou Chun's house when they suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy ahead.
Before he could speak to the others, he rushed towards Zhou Quan's house, but a man in black was faster, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the mountains.
He didn't have time to think and quickly chased after them.
Seeing this, Zhou Heng and the others, fearing he might get hurt, also ran into the mountains.
By the time Zhou Quan caught up, the scene had already become like that. The other party had taken Zhou Chun and his family away. What Zhou Quan saw was the other party holding two children and standing on a high cliff in front of Xishan Valley. Zhou Chun was tied up and thrown down to hit him, preventing him from chasing after them.
Zhou Quan certainly couldn't watch someone fall to their death in front of him, so he had to step in and stop Zhou Chun from falling to the ground.
He turned to chase after the person, but the person saw Zhou Heng and his group chasing after Zhou Quan. He waved his hand towards the valley, and the five mutated beasts were thrown down and pounced on Zhou Heng and his group.
Zhou Quan had no choice but to abandon his attack on the man in black and save Zhou Heng and the others first. He had them hide behind a large rock and quickly set up a protective barrier for them before turning around to deal with the mutated beasts.
These things happened in the blink of an eye. However, Zhou Quan is now an awakened spiritual vein person, supported by spiritual power. His movements are very fast. In the eyes of ordinary people like Zhou Heng, Zhou Quan's movements are similar to those of the man in black, as fast as a beam of light.
Zhou Quan could sense that these mutated beasts were far weaker than the ones he had killed in town last time. Moreover, those beasts had a thousand years of cultivation and could transform into human form, but these beasts could not.
Although Zhou Quan's spiritual power is not high now, he can still deal with these mutated beasts that are hundreds of years old.
"Fortunately, the man in black didn't seem to intend to harm Zhou Heng and the others. Otherwise, if he had ambushed them while I was dealing with the mutated beasts, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to handle it," Zhou Quan said, frowning.
In Zhou Quan's view, his barrier could only protect Zhou Heng and the others for a short time. If that person were to go all out to destroy his barrier, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Li Mai gave a soft "hmm," realizing that she had only brought Gu Zhe over because she sensed that the other party's spiritual power seemed to be above Zhou Quan's.
"Then go get something to eat first. After you eat, you still need to go to the ancestral hall, right?" Li Mai said softly.
There must be many other things behind this incident, and he needs to discuss them with the clan chief.
“Yes, I still have to go over there. Zhou Chun and Zhou Shu’s family are definitely connected to that man in black. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise the whole village will be in danger,” Zhou Quan said with a frown.
When Zhou Quan went out to get himself some food, Li Mai followed him out, wearing a cloak, and used her divine sense to check if there were any mutated beasts nearby.
"I think I just saw Gu Zhe chase after that man in black. The two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye. Did he come to see you?" Zhou Quan asked Li Mai while eating noodles.
Li Mai shook her head. "No, I called him here. I guessed right, he could sense my call to him."
Zhou Quan remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
His memory is incomplete now, and when he is thinking about something, he will suddenly lose his train of thought halfway through.
From the moment he agreed to let Li Mai help him seal his memories of his past life, he had no intention of thinking about or touching anything related to his past life. From now on, he would listen to his wife's arrangements and do whatever she said.
Watching Zhou Quan eat noodles, Li Mai wondered what was going on with Gu Zhe and the man in black. Where had they gone? Had they traveled through time and space, or were they fighting in some other dimension?
Who exactly is that man in black? Why is he using drugs to raise those hybrid mutated beasts? According to Zhou Quan, Li Mai thinks that the man should also be a space carrier, or rather, he should also have a space chip.
Could the other person be related to my grandfather?
Actually, she didn't quite agree with Zhou Quan's statement that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of harming Zhou Heng and the others. She felt that the other party couldn't break through Zhou Quan's barrier and couldn't touch the people Zhou Quan was protecting inside.
Seeing that he could kill Zhou Chun's mother without hesitation and throw two children off the mountain without any burden in an attempt to stop Zhou Quan, you can tell that he is not a kind-hearted person, but rather very ruthless.
Li Mai is now thinking that they are getting closer and closer to the person behind them, and the other party's purpose is becoming more and more obvious, which is aimed at Zhou Quan.
The key point is that she doesn't know what Zhou Quan is planning to do. She only knows one thing: the other party may be afraid of Zhou Quan's abilities, but she doesn't know how powerful Zhou Quan is now.
Their use of those mutated beasts was a test of Zhou Quan, and they might be running out of mutated beasts.
Because the mutated beasts that come out later are getting weaker and weaker, and the ones we see today haven't even transformed yet, Li Mai thinks that these mutated beasts themselves probably don't have long lifespans, at least within a hundred years.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Quan left in a hurry, telling Li Mai not to leave his own yard. He said he would make arrangements for his parents, younger brother, and younger sister.
Li Mai agreed. Right now, protecting her children and the baby in her womb was the most important thing for her.
Zhou Quan spent the entire afternoon busy outside and didn't return.
Zhou Lin, Zhou Lei, Zhou Tao, and Zhou Xing came over a few afternoons to visit Li Mai and the others. Before leaving, they took Nan Nan and Dong Dong with them. Xu Shun and the others were going back that afternoon.
Zhou Quan agreed to personally escort them back.
Zhou Tao came over and briefly explained to Li Mai the cause and outcome of today's incident.
When Zhou Chun was released from prison, his mother and children came to pick him up, and he was taken to a mountain outside a town.
When he arrived, he learned that his mother and children had been begging for a living ever since they were driven out of the village. Knowing that he was about to be released from prison, his mother brought the children back, hoping to wait for him to come out.
Unexpectedly, just a few days before he was released from prison, his mother and children were captured by a man in black and taken to the mountain. They were given food and drink, but were told to wait for Zhou Chun to be released from prison and then pick him up and bring him to the mountain.
As for why they did this, the other party did not say.
After Zhou Chun was taken there, the man in black told him to find a way to go back to Zhoujia Village and then contact those in the village who had a grudge against Zhou Quan to oppose Zhou Quan's family, the more he angered Zhou Quan, the better.
The other party said that as long as Zhou Chun obeyed and could stay in the village, he would give him a lot of money.
To convince Zhou Chun that what he said was true, the leader of the men in black on the mountain even had his men give him one hundred taels of silver all at once.
With so much money offered, Zhou Chun was bound to obey, and so he came back.
