The Blood Corpse King truly stood up, then stood obediently beside Luo Chen.
Luo Chen exhaled a smoke ring and said.
“I give you two choices. One, be completely slapped to death by me.”
“Or follow me from now on.”
The Blood Corpse King did not hesitate at all. The moment Luo Chen’s words landed, the Blood Corpse King knelt down.
After Blood Tiger and the others finished dealing with those ordinary zombies, Luo Chen had them find a few spare sets of clothes.
Then he dressed the Blood Corpse King in them, wrapping him up tightly. Apart from a pair of eyes showing outside, not a single part of his body was exposed.
Some of the Blood Fiend people were also injured, but fortunately the corpse poison was no longer a major threat. The injuries only needed bandaging.
And when they reached the halfway point up the mountain, Wu Qiming and the others were preparing to leave.
“Wait, monk.” Luo Chen suddenly called out to the group.
Great Master Danba turned back to look at Luo Chen, and immediately felt somewhat guilty.
“Do you still remember I just read your fortune?”
Luo Chen smiled.
Although Great Master Danba had been beaten into a sorry state by the Blood Corpse King just now, because he was protected by the Esoteric Sect’s secret techniques, he was not injured.
The Blood Fiend people also looked at Luo Chen with curious gazes.
Because Great Master Danba truly had no serious injuries. Not even his skin was broken. Why did Luo Chen bring this up again?
“My fortune readings have always been very accurate. Do you know why?”
The Blood Fiend people looked puzzled. Was this not already over?
Where was the blood calamity coming from?
Great Master Danba was also puzzled.
But the next moment, Luo Chen was before Great Master Danba.
He swung his hand and delivered a big slap across Great Master Danba’s face. Two of Great Master Danba’s teeth were knocked flying.
“You see, I was very accurate, was I not? Blood calamity.” Luo Chen sneered.
The cultivation world naturally had the cultivation world’s rules.
Even if you told an ordinary person they had a blood calamity, they might slap you, let alone a fellow cultivator.
There were two phrases you should not lightly speak in the cultivation world. One was “blood calamity,” and the other was “Fellow Daoist, please stay.”
Speaking these two phrases might invite fatal disaster.
Great Master Danba could not be unaware of this.
It was just that at that time he completely did not put Luo Chen in his eyes, so he said it.
But his words did not come true.
However, Luo Chen’s words did come true.
Blood Tiger and the others stared at Luo Chen in astonishment. This indeed was a blood calamity, and it would certainly come true.
No wonder Luo Chen had been so confident at that time saying this monk had a blood calamity.
He must have been planning to slap him even then.
And it was not over yet.
Luo Chen stepped forward and delivered another big slap across Great Master Danba’s face. Great Master Danba was beaten until blood flowed from his nose and mouth.
“Now tell me, which of us has the blood calamity?” Luo Chen sneered.
“Sorry, Benefactor Luo. It was my reckless talk.” Great Master Danba was quite sensible, showing none of a monk’s integrity. Otherwise he would not have run away when he saw the situation was not right just now.
He immediately submitted to Luo Chen.
He now understood clearly. The person before him was absolutely not some grandmaster. This was absolutely someone at the Spirit Communication realm, or even higher.
And Wu Qiming frowned at the side, about to say something.
A big slap was delivered across his face.
“Sorry, I just forgot. Leader Wu, I also read your fortune. You also have a blood calamity. I just forgot to tell you just now.” Luo Chen’s cold sneer rang out.
Wu Qiming was slapped until his mouth was full of blood. His subordinates were about to move, but he stopped them.
If Great Master Danba could defeat Luo Chen, he could still act arrogantly. But Great Master Danba had been beaten until his face was covered in blood.
Now that he had been beaten, he could only swallow his broken teeth.
Because speaking one more sentence now would mean one more slap.
“Remember from now on. Do not speak ill of Blood Fiend before me again.” Luo Chen snorted coldly.
Just now Wu Qiming had mocked Blood Fiend. Luo Chen had remembered it all.
Wu Qiming left with a dark face. But Great Master Danba’s skin was remarkably thick. He actually had the nerve to ask Luo Chen for his contact details.
Luo Chen was not that petty. He actually gave it to him.
Then Great Master Danba left cheerfully.
The cultivation world was like this. Sometimes strength was king.
It was already the middle of the night when they descended the mountain.
Before Luo Chen’s group had completely left the mountain area, someone was calling out to Luo Chen up ahead.
“Xiaochen, Xiaochen. Wuwuwu.”
It was Jiang Tongran’s voice, and it was very anxious. She was crying streams of tears, her face full of panic.
Jiang Tongran had always been strong. In Luo Chen’s impression, this kind of situation would absolutely not occur. But at this moment she was crying like this.
Something major had definitely happened.
Luo Chen leaped and jumped directly to Jiang Tongran’s side.
“What happened?”
“Wuwu, Xiaochen. Something happened to my aunt.” Jiang Tongran said while crying.
It could be seen that her face had gone pale. She was truly anxious.
And she had been looking for Luo Chen for a long time.
Shortly after Luo Chen left, something happened to Shen Yuelan. But at that time Luo Chen had already entered the mountains. The phone could not get through at all.
Jiang Tongran could only notify others while waiting. When she could wait no longer, she entered the mountains alone to find Luo Chen.
“What exactly happened?” Luo Chen asked.
“After you left, my aunt was still fine at first.”
“But Jiang Yifei said a few words to her. It seemed the two of them argued. Then Jiang Yifei tore off the Buddhist beads in his own hand, and the Buddhist beads on my aunt’s neck suddenly broke.”
“Then, then, she fainted.” Jiang Tongran squatted down directly, crying powerlessly.
“Where is she now?” Luo Chen asked.
“I notified the family. They have already taken her back to Yanjing by plane for treatment. But I know things are definitely not that simple. That is why I came to find you.”
“Xiaochen, Sister Ranran begs you. Save my aunt, will you?”
“Xiaochen, I beg you.” Jiang Tongran was still crying.
Luo Chen wiped away Jiang Tongran’s tears while speaking.
“That string of Buddhist beads of hers has a very troublesome problem. I warned her long ago, but she simply would not listen.” Luo Chen frowned.
“Xiaochen, it is not what you think. That string of Buddhist beads is too important to my aunt.” Jiang Tongran explained.
“More important than life?” Once Shen Yuelan’s Buddhist beads were damaged, it would likely be extremely troublesome.
It was a complex technique similar to a Gu poison. Even Luo Chen was not confident he could save her.
With the slightest carelessness she would truly die.
“That string of Buddhist beads was something she used to pray for blessings for her son. She always told me she owed her son too much. So even if it was just superstition, she believed it.”
“That string of Buddhist beads was something a friend told her about, saying it was very effective. When it came to matters concerning her son, no one could persuade her otherwise.”
“That string of Buddhist beads was one of the few things she could do for her son.”
“All these years, she built countless orphanages, also to pray for blessings for her son.”
These words left Luo Chen unable to respond. After all, this was a mother’s love.
Just at this time Luo Chen’s phone also rang.
Luo Chen looked. It was his father’s call.
At this late hour, why would his father call him?
Luo Chen answered the phone.
“Hello, Xiaochen.”
Luo Chen suddenly frowned. Because he could clearly sense that his father seemed to be choking back sobs.
“What is it, Dad?”
“Xiaochen.” His father’s choked sobs grew heavier.
“Xiaochen, I want to tell you something. I previously lied to you about something, about your mother.”
“Previously I was afraid you did not yet have the ability to go find her. It would be dangerous. But now, no matter what, I hope you go find her.”
“Because I just had a dream. I dreamed she was covered in blood, standing before me smiling at me.”
“Dad, it is just a dream. Do not worry too much.” Luo Chen comforted him, but vaguely felt something was not right.
“No, it is absolutely not like this. All these years I have rarely dreamed of your mother. And that piece of jade we sought together back then broke for no reason.” His father said anxiously.
“All right, Dad. I will go immediately.”
“Good. Hurry up and find her. See if something has happened. Your mother, her surname is Shen, called Shen Yuelan.”
Surname Shen, called Shen Yuelan. Luo Chen’s mobile phone instantly fell to the ground.
