The night is warm and the stars are dim above the vast sky. The dark night covers the vast earth.

In the Zhang family ancient building, the light of the night pearl illuminates every corner of the eighth floor. The jade coffin emits a bright glow under the reflection of the night pearl.

Zhang Qiling's eyelashes trembled slightly as he closed his eyes. The moment he slowly opened his eyes and woke up, his hazy consciousness slowly rose from his dream, like a drop of water falling into a lake, causing ripples.

Zhang Qiling opened his eyes slightly, and the first ray of light he saw flashed by like a soft silk thread.

He sat up slowly and felt a slight loosening in his lumbar spine, as if the chains that bound him had been unlocked and a new life had begun.

He frowned and looked at the scenery and objects around him. His eyes gradually became clear, and slowly, they were filled with disbelief.

Zhang Family Ancient Building... I, how did I end up back here? I'm not... Yanyan?

He turned his head to look at Zhang Hanyan beside him. She was still sleeping with her eyes closed. Her body was extremely cold, which was not the temperature of a living person.

Zhang Qiling looked down at his hands in shock. His ten fingers slowly bent and clenched into fists. His nails dug into the flesh of his palms, causing pain.

After I disappeared from the divine realm, I was resurrected here again. So...what about Yanyan, will she come back?

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt ridiculous. He stared at Zhang Hanyan, who had her eyes closed and a bitter smile on her face.

I will come back here after I die. Yanyan is living well in the God Realm, how could she come back for no reason...

Mo Yuan is dead, Haoyang Tianzun's cultivation has dissipated, and there is no one in the six realms who can pose a threat to her anymore.

It would be best for Yanyan to stay freely in the divine realm and never come back.

Zhang Qiling looked at Zhang Hanyan's face tenderly, even though the person before him was just a body without a soul.

"Yan Yan, you must live well, and it's best to forget everything here forever."

He sat quietly beside Zhang Hanyan's body, not knowing how much time had passed. He finally stood up, and the moment his feet touched the ground, it was as if he had entered a new world.

As the neck moved, the cervical vertebrae made a slight loosening sound, and it seemed that the whole body was silent, regaining vitality and welcoming a new life.

On a winter morning, the sun shines through the thin mist onto the earth, sparkling like broken diamonds and covering the cold world with a golden cloak.

Zhang Yecheng stood in the courtyard with a backpack on his back, waiting for Wu Xie, Fatty and the others. Everyone took the bags that had been prepared long ago and joined Zhang Yecheng.

"Let's go. It's sunny and warm today."

"Every year when we go to see Xiao Ge and Han Yan, it's always sunny, as if they know we are coming. How naive, right?"

"Well, let's go."

Fatty looked at the backs of Wu Xie, Jie Yuchen and the others as they left, then turned around, waved at Yuncai and whispered a warning.

"Come inside, Cloud. It's cold outside. We'll be back in a few days."

"Well, I know. You go early and come back early."

Yuncai smiled and waved to the fat man. She stood under the eaves and watched the fat man and everyone go away. Only when they disappeared from her sight did she turn around and walk into the house.

The road into the mountains was the same as before. They had walked this road countless times. Now, even with their eyes closed, they could grope their way to the lake.

As usual, after resting for a night by the lake, everyone walked inside under the leadership of Zhang Yecheng, following the path they took to enter the Zhang family ancient building every winter.

If you come here in summer, you will jump directly into the lake and enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building from the passage behind the ancestral hall of the Yao village at the bottom of the lake.

If you come here in winter and the lake water is too cold, you will take another route and enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building through a passage hidden in the cliff.

Zhang Yecheng, Wu Xie, Fatty, Xie Yuchen, Hei Xiazi, Xi Liu, Zhang Mo, each of them held lighting equipment in their hands.

When they went in, Zhang Yecheng would stop the mechanisms in the passage one by one, and when they came out, Zhang Yecheng would restore the mechanisms one by one.

When Zhang Yecheng was about to press the last mechanism at the end of the passage, his long fingers stayed on the moving mechanism for a long time without moving.

"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this mechanism?"

As soon as Wu Xie said this, everyone became nervous. Everyone knew how powerful the mechanism in the Zhang family ancient building was.

Even though they had been to the Zhang family's ancient building countless times, they did not dare to take it lightly.

"This mechanism was turned off and then restarted. Someone came to the Zhang Family Ancient Building, and it was a member of the Zhang family."

A rare solemn look appeared on Zhang Yecheng's face. He stared at the mechanism in front of him. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't imagine that anyone from the current Zhang family would come to the Zhang family's ancient building.

"Who could that be? What was he doing here? When did he......"

"I don't know, let's go in and take a look first."

Zhang Yecheng interrupted Wu Xie, stopped the mechanism, and walked into the dark and wide passage first.

Wu Xie looked at Fatty, Xie Yuchen, Hei Xia Zi and others behind him. He saw the determination on everyone's faces to find out what was going on.

Xie Yuchen noticed Wu Xie's hesitation and shone a flashlight into his eyes.

"Let's go, Wu Xie. No matter what, we won't know until we see it. What if that person just wants to come in and take some valuables?"

"Yes, and besides, we don't even know if he escaped alive. Maybe he died in that corner."

Fatty echoed Jie Yuchen's words, patted Wu Xie's shoulder heavily, and pushed him into the passage before Wu Xie could speak.

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi walked behind them, observing the surroundings with full vigilance. The mechanism had been opened by other people, and they were not sure if there were any other hidden dangers around.

When Xi Liu and Zhang Mo walked to the end of the passage, they stared straight at the last mechanism, their eyes deep and meaningful.

They are members of the Zhang family, and they know very well that those members of the Zhang family who have been able to avoid all the previous traps and walk here safely are not ordinary people even in the Zhang family.

"Zhang Mo, be careful on the road ahead. There's no guarantee that the man won't leave something deadly behind."

"I know, don't worry."

Except for Zhang Yecheng, everyone was on high alert and moved forward cautiously.

Even if Zhang Yecheng was there to protect them, they would not dare to rashly hand over their lives and property to other people's hands without permission.

"We're here, don't be so nervous, I'm right here, how can I let you lose your lives here?

If Han Yan knew that I had killed her friend, wouldn't she be so angry that she would curse me to death? Come on, look at how nervous you two are, it's really unbearable to watch. "

Zhang Yecheng ruthlessly attacked everyone, then reached out and pushed open the dusty door and strode inside.
