As City No. 1 became more and more stable, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou had to leave.
Zhongli Changqing was reluctant to leave them, but he and his grandfather had to stay to guard the place.
After this departure, they would not be able to see their uncle for a long time. For this reason, Zhongli Changqing took another approach and went to find Gao Han to persuade him to stay.
Gao Han easily saw through his intentions and wanted to use him to get Zhongli Tingzhou to stay. Although he sympathized with them, he also admired them.
Zhongli Chang is still young and actually has better choices that could make his life more brilliant and splendid, but he has no regrets and is determined to stay in City No. 1. Such a decision is not something that most people can make.
“We will be back again.”
No amount of sympathy and admiration could stop Gao Han's determination to go back, as he still had a lot of things to do.
Zhongli Changqing sighed, knowing that there was little hope, so he sent them to the gate and turned back only after he could no longer see them.
The hovercraft had been driven back to the school a long time ago. Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were too lazy to ride it again, so they flew back directly, at a speed faster than the hovercraft.
The beautiful scenery of the motherland is right at their feet.
It was the first time that Gao Han looked down at the earth carefully from a high place.
The earth has mutated. The landforms that once took hundreds of millions of years to change have now become riddled with holes within a thousand years. The land and mountains have changed dramatically.
Perhaps it was the blood in his body that was causing trouble. Gao Han never felt that he was a person of this world before, and he did not have much sense of belonging to the changes on Earth. Now, his state of mind seemed to be changing unconsciously.
"I hope I can find a glimmer of hope in the future." Gao Han thought worriedly, knowing his future.
Only twenty minutes had passed since we returned to the imperial capital.
Compared with the air in the main disaster area which is filled with rich spiritual energy, the air in the imperial capital is much more turbid.
However, perhaps because it is close to the main disaster area, the concentration of spiritual energy in the imperial capital is still richer than other places.
"Where do you want to go next?" Zhongli Tingzhou didn't care where he went. He would go wherever Gao Han went.
"I want to go back to the military compound to visit my parents and give them the heart of the blue bark tree." Gao Han said his plan, "What about you?"
Zhongli Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and curled up the corners of his mouth, "As for me, of course I follow the chicken when I marry a chicken, and I follow the dog when I marry a dog."
Gao Han: “…” I was wrong, I shouldn’t have asked him.
The two flew back to the compound together, flying over the imperial capital. The energy swept past, and the fluctuations left behind more or less attracted the attention of other powerful people in the imperial capital.
He leaned forward to take a look, and found that it was a first-class strong man and a second-class strong man, then he shrank back.
If there really were an enemy attack, or if a demon cultivator appeared, they would not dare to be so arrogant and blatant. The imperial capital is full of powerful people, and the government and military headquarters are here. No one dares to cause trouble here, not even a top-notch strong man.
The two came to the military compound, where there were more powerful people.
They thought it was some first-class strong man who came to visit, but when the neighbors saw that it was the genius of Zhongli's family, who had actually broken through to the peak of the second-class upper level, they were so excited that they couldn't help but curse.
Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating. They have been stuck at the second-level cultivation level for who knows how many years. This person went out and came back with a higher level of cultivation.
Zhongli Tingzhou's powerful aura accidentally overshadowed Gao Han's aura, so that some people didn't notice that there was a pervert next to him.
"Why is Zhongli Tianlang so lucky?" Lao Wang next door sighed, wondering why the other party was not his son? He clearly called him Lao Wang.
"Don't think about it. It's hard to say whether it's a good fate or not. If that thing is true, the troubles of Zhongli's family cannot be explained in a few words." said a neighbor in the same community.
Old Wang next door snorted, "Even if it's true, so what? With Zhongli Tianlang's achievements and strength, who can beat this old guy? Besides, the Yuan family is almost unable to protect itself."
The neighbor nodded and said, "That's true."
"I say, didn't you notice the other person next to Zhongli Tingzhou?" Seeing that they didn't talk about the other point, the neighbor surnamed Tang couldn't help but speak.
The two looked at their neighbor Tang together, "Are you talking about Zhongli Tingzhou's partner? The son of the Gao family couple? Of course I saw him."
The neighbor was speechless, "Since you saw it, didn't you notice that there was something different about the aura of Zhongli Tingzhou's partner?"
The two thought about it carefully and realized that they didn't pay much attention at the time, so they don't have much impression of it now.
"Fuck, didn't you notice that boy has a strong smell of second-class cultivation?"
They both: “…”
"Fuck, if I remember correctly, that guy was third class before?"
"Congratulations on finally finding it out. Now you should be jealous not only because Zhongli Tianlang has a youngest son with extraordinary talent, but also because he has a daughter-in-law who is probably equally talented. Oh, and this daughter-in-law also has a mother with equally good cultivation, and a father who is a genius talisman painter."
After a while, the two of them said in unison, "It's impossible to live like this."
Not knowing that he had become the subject of gossip among the neighbors, Gao Han finally met Gao's father and mother and was shocked by their expressions.
"You stupid kid, why didn't you send me a message if everything was fine?" Gao's mother patted her son on the back.
Gao Han felt like he was going to get internal injuries from being slapped, and Gao's mother's grip strength actually increased.
Before he could explain, Zhongli Tingzhou stood in front of him and said seriously: "Mom, if you want to hit me, hit me."
Gao's mother's body trembled, and she dared not to attack again. She had been doing business for half her life and had seen countless strange people, but this was the first time she had seen someone with such a strange character as Zhongli Tingzhou.
Gao Han pushed away the drama addict who was addicted to watching TV dramas, "Mom, don't worry about him. I participated in the city defense battle before and muted the communicator. Later, I never remembered to turn it on. Look, I'm fine, right?"
"Are you really okay?" Gao's mother turned him over twice.
Gao Han was forced to turn around twice. Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him thoughtfully, wondering if he had come up with some shady ideas.
"It's really okay." Gao Han was busy comforting Gao's mother.
Gao's mother was surprised and asked, "Then why did I hear that the battle to defend the city was very tragic and many people died?"
As soon as Gao Han heard this, he knew that Gao's mother had misunderstood, and immediately explained to her that the accident occurred not in City No. 1 where he was, but in City No. 2.
Gao's mother immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Father Gao grinned and said, "I'm telling you, our son is blessed with a long life. He will be fine."
Gao's mother rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Who was the person who was so worried that he didn't even have the mood to draw a talisman?"
Father Gao immediately looked around and said, "Yes, who is it? It's not me."
"By the way, Dad, I brought you a lot of blue-skinned tree heartwoods this time. They will definitely be enough for you to use for a long time." Gao Han laughed and threw the storage bag to him, which was full of peeled tree heartwoods.
Father Gao took out a piece of tree heartwood. The tree heartwood was not made up of individual roots, but was actually just one piece. As it was relatively soft, it would become soft once it left the blue-skinned tree, and then slowly solidify into a hard tree heartwood.
"This quality must be at least a thousand years old, right?" Father Gao's eyes were as if he saw his beloved girl. It was the first time he saw the heart of a blue-skinned tree of such a high age, and he couldn't let go of it.
"It should be." Gao Han didn't know much about the blue-skinned tree, so he couldn't say for sure. It was almost the same, both were inside.
Father Gao's whole body and soul have been attracted to the heart of the blue-skinned tree and he can't wait to try it out.
Gao's mother ignored him and pulled Gao Han to the sofa, asking him to tell her what happened in City No. 1.
If it were in the past, Gao Han might have told everything, but now, he gradually didn't want to make his parents worry, so he concealed some of the things, but he still described the thrilling battle to defend the city.
Mother Gao's heart ached when she heard this. She had never expected that the situation between humans and mutant creatures had reached this point, and that the battle to defend the city was so brutal.
"Will you go again in the future?" Gao's mother frowned.
"I will definitely go. Who knows, you guys may go too in the future." Gao Han actually had a premonition.
When it comes to themselves, Gao's mother doesn't care anymore. "Your father and I have been prepared for a long time. If we really go to the battlefield, your father is a talisman master, so he is enough to protect himself."
A smile flashed across Gao Han's eyes, "I thought so too."
This is actually what makes him feel at ease. With Father Gao's talent, he will be able to draw more good talismans in the future. Talismans alone will be enough without the use of magical weapons or spiritual weapons.
Gao Han had other things to do, so he didn't stay long. When he was about to leave, Gao's father came out.
Knowing that he had almost used up the talismans given to him last time, Father Gao stuffed two more stacks into his hands, saying that he was just bored and drew a bunch of them, and asked him not to use them sparingly.
"Oh, right." Gao Han remembered something. "General Shen has already put this house in your name. It's our home now. You don't have to move anymore."
"And me, I am also a member of this family." Zhongli Tingzhou immediately came over and tried his best to squeeze into their family.
"Just know it yourself." Gao Han threw a sentence at him, and then explained to Gao's father and mother why, "Anyway, you can stay here with peace of mind from now on. Tingzhou and I have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
After saying goodbye to Gao's father and mother, the two left the military compound.
Yuan family ancestral home, Yuan Zhengshan’s study.
"They are back. The aura of Zhongli Tingzhou is indeed not much different from that of the Demon King. The news given to us by the Demon Spirit is absolutely true."
Yuan Zhengshan's entire face was hidden in the darkness at the desk, and the study was shrouded in a sense of oppression. After a moment, he opened his gloomy eyes, and his oppressive gaze fell on Mr. Huang in the corner.
"Let's not talk about Zhongli Tingzhou for now. Huang Tong, Yuan Tiansheng didn't die, and he successfully led Ming Haifeng to rescue Yuan Tianping. What explanation do you have for this?"
Mr. Huang felt more stressed and explained, "I didn't expect Zhongli Tingzhou to break through. Yuan Tiansheng's strength is indeed strong. He has already learned the 100th style of Yi Tian Dao, which is extremely powerful."
"I don't talk about the process, I only ask about the result. The mission failed. What did you promise me that day? You decide what to do." Yuan Zhengshan did not mention the dead Yuan Da and Yuan Shiqi. In his heart, killing Yuan Tiansheng was the most important thing.
Mr. Huang sensed Yuan Zhengshan's displeasure and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The two brothers were able to get to this point thanks to Yuan Zhengshan's cultivation over the years. It was also because of this that he realized how terrifying Yuan Zhengshan was.
Yuan Zhengshan is much stronger and more terrifying than Yuan Tiansheng. If he were not restricted, he might take action himself to prevent future troubles.
"Master, I am willing to atone for my sins with my merits." Old Huang lowered his head.
Yuan Zhengshan snorted coldly, the impact was like a small bomb exploding next to his ear.
No one in the study dared to say a word.
"Don't worry, there will always be a time when you are needed. Yuan Tiansheng wants Ming Haifeng to cure Yuan Tianping. Do you think it is that easy?"
"The head of the family means that Ming Haifeng can't be cured?" Old Huang's eyes lit up slightly.
In fact, he was very curious about where Yuan Zhengshan got the life-eating poison. This poison had actually become extinct many years ago, and its origin had always been a mystery.
"If it was during Ming Haifeng's heyday, maybe it would be possible." Yuan Zhengshan said coldly, "It's a pity that Ming Haifeng was seriously injured in the main disaster area. Yuan Tianping, don't even think about recovering in this lifetime."
"Yuan Liu." Yuan Zhengshan suddenly shouted.
Yuan Liu, who replaced Yuan Shi and Yuan Shiqi, immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, what do you want me to do?"
"Go, spread the news that Zhongli Tingzhou is the Demon King. The greater the impact, the better. Those people want to sanction the Yuan family. I want to see what other methods they have." Yuan Zhengshan's eyes were extremely cold.
"Yes, father."
