495: C495 The Land of Despair

C495 The Land of Despair

Why the cultivation world is so cruel.

Why did I work so hard, trying so hard to give up, but it was all in vain?

Did Shen Lang really hit the mark?

The more he was afraid of losing, the more he lost?

Confusion, hesitation, depression. The negative emotions were so strong that Zhang Chu wanted to give up.

However, even though he had thousands of reasons to give up, when he thought of his brother being seriously injured and his wife missing, these reasons instantly vanished.

Zhang Chu gave up, what about his brother? What about his wife? What about the family members of Dongzhou?

Zhang Chu finally understood that he had lost the right to give up ever since the day he stepped into the cultivation world.

In the Middle Period of Foundation Stage, even if he didn't take the initiative to absorb the true qi, the thin true qi left in the world would still flow into his body unceasingly. Although this speed was very slow, the help to his cultivation realm could be ignored. However, for cultivators who had used up all of their true qi, even a fly's leg was still meat.

After the true qi in his body recovered a little, Zhang Chu poured it into Zhao Tang's body.

This continued over and over again throughout the night. Zhang Chu did not even close his eyes. He had overdrawn his True Qi. When the sun rose, Zhang Chu's mind was already in a trance. His eyes were lifeless, and there wasn't a trace of blood on his face. Even though he had paid such a huge price, Zhao Tang was still in a state where his soul could return to his home at any time, let alone awakening. He barely managed to stabilize his heart meridian and didn't die on the spot. It wasn't easy at all.

Zhang Chu propped himself up and stood up unsteadily.

Looking around, he was in an endless wilderness. He had never felt so helpless and hopeless before.

"Zhang Chu, you better f * cking pull yourself together. If you fall, who will go with Qin Sitong? If you can't even protect your own woman, what kind of man are you?"

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and muttered to himself. He took a few deep breaths before he calmed down.

Under the illumination of the sun, the surrounding environment became clear. Many things that could not be seen at night were also revealed.

On the right side of the jeep was the place where Zhao Tang and the attacker fought. The traces on the ground were extremely messy, and there was no way to sort out the clues.

The back door of the jeep and the trunk door were all ripped off.

A scene flashed in Zhang Chu's mind. After the attacker injured Zhao Tang, he ripped off the car door, pulled Qin Sitong and Jin Shenggong out, and took away the coffin behind him.

Zhang Chu did not dare to imagine how scared Qin Sitong would be when she was attacked.

"If Qin Sitong loses a hair, I will chew your bones!" Zhang Chu's expression was unprecedentedly ferocious. He was like an enraged tiger. Gritting his teeth, he spoke word by word.

The hard work paid off.

Zhang Chu finally found valuable information at the back of the off-road vehicle.

The geology here was relatively loose, and the footprints that were left behind were especially clear. Judging from the size of the footprints, the attacker was at least two meters tall. He was a giant with a strong back and a strong waist. The giant attacker carried the coffin on his own, and judging from the direction of the footprint, he was heading north.

Although this place had deviated from the direction of the Sky Mountain, since the distance of the Sky Mountain was extremely large, if he were to head north, he would still be able to reach the end of the Sky Mountain.

It seemed that the purpose of these ambushers was clear.

Taking advantage of the time when Zhang Chu was entangled with Lyu Ji and was distracted, they launched a sneak attack, kidnapped Jin Shenggong and the coffin in one go, then headed to One-Line Mountain to search for Three Devils And Nine Sects.

Zhang Chu did not know why they wanted to take Qin Sitong away. For the time being, they wanted to use Qin Sitong as a hostage in case Zhang Chu chased after her, so that they could use her to threaten Zhang Chu.

If that was the case, Qin Sitong would not have to worry about her life for a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu heaved a sigh of relief. His tensed nerves finally relaxed a little.

"What a coincidence."0

Zhang Chu muttered as he gazed into the distance at the mountain that he couldn't see at all.

What happened last night didn't seem to be a pure coincidence.

First of all, the group of ambushers must have had their eyes on Zhang Chu and the others long ago. They must have even witnessed the destruction of Heavenly Owl Sect and knew the strength of Zhang Chu and Ruan Zhu, which was why they didn't make a move. They only attacked when Lyu Ji caught up with them. At the same time, Jin Shenggong led Zhang Chu here. It was not too far away from where the Three Devils And Nine Sects was hiding.

Then, the place where the Three Devils And Nine Sects was hiding was most likely at the end of Sky Mountain, right in front of Zhang Chu.

When he thought of this, Zhang Chu's heart became very clear.

The route of the attacker must be straightforward. It was unlikely that he would beat around the bush when the Three Devils And Nine Sects was about to appear.

Therefore, they only needed to head north to find the ambusher.

Qin Sitong would be in danger every minute they delayed. Zhang Chu did not dare to hesitate. He carried Zhao Tang on his back and walked towards the north.

Every time he walked a certain distance, Zhang Chu would stop and mercilessly squeeze his meridians, passing his true qi to Zhao Tang without holding anything back.

Zhang Chu's true qi was equivalent to Zhao Tang's life-prolonging medicine.

As long as this life-prolonging medicine stopped, Zhao Tang would die without a doubt.

But Zhang Chu's meridians were on the verge of drying up. Once they dried up, it was not something that could be recovered just by resting. For cultivators, the danger of running out of meridians was not even less than terminal illnesses. At the very least, their cultivation would be crippled, and at the most, they would die on the spot.

At this rate, it was not certain who would die first between Zhang Chu and Zhao Tang.

In one breath, he walked from morning to noon. Apart from the scrapped off-road vehicle that had completely disappeared from his line of sight, everything around him did not seem to have changed at all.

Zhang Chu only carried Zhao Tang on his back. He walked forward step by step.

How far was he from One-Line Mountain? A hundred kilometers? Five hundred kilometers? 1,000 kilometers? Zhang Chu had no idea. He only knew that according to the current situation, Zhang Chu would not be able to reach the mountain no matter what. Despite knowing that he wouldn't be able to reach the mountain, he still had to walk forward. The sense of helplessness that he felt every day, the feeling of not being able to respond, and the feeling of being unable to move the ground, swept over once again.

Putong!

Zhang Chu tripped and fell headfirst. Zhao Tang, who was on his back, flew over Zhang Chu's head and heavily crashed onto the ground. He rolled forward two more times.

This fall was like adding salt to the wound for Zhao Tang.

Zhang Chu cursed in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but in the end, he lost his balance and fell heavily again.

It was only at this moment that Zhang Chu realized to his horror that his body had been seriously overdrafted. His brain had also become sluggish.

Zhang Chu took a deep breath, supported his body, and practically crawled to Zhao Tang's side.

Seeing that Zhao Tang was still half-dead like before, Zhang Chu had an apologetic look on his face. "Elder Zhao, it must have hurt from the fall..."

Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and stood up unsteadily. He wanted to carry Zhao Tang on his back, but he lost his balance as soon as he carried Zhao Tang. He almost fell down again.

Zhang Chu did not dare carry Zhao Tang on his back anymore. He put Zhao Tang's arm on his shoulder, supported Zhao Tang, and moved towards the north bit by bit.
