Chapter 885: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn
Otherwise, why could the old man in red accurately call out Zhang Qilin's name and say such strange words without knowing his name?
Zhang Qilin's eyes also flickered slightly, and it was obvious that he was touched.
However, at this moment, the old man in red seemed to have lost his patience to continue talking with Zhang Qilin and simply took a few steps back.
"I will definitely settle accounts with you for breaking my formation today. But I hope you can understand that what you did is actually a betrayal of the oath your Zhang family made in the past! You are a traitor!"
Before he finished speaking, the figure of the old man in red disappeared in the turbulent river. He left so suddenly that even Zhang Hao couldn't react for a while to how he disappeared.
Zhang Qilin slowly put down the black gold ancient knife in his hand, and a hint of pain was faintly revealed in his originally cold expression.
It seems that his plan has failed again. He wanted to get more secrets about the family from the old man in red, but he didn't expect that the old man in red would stand on the opposite side of him and refused to reveal the truth behind the family.
Zhang Hao could understand Zhang Qilin's anxiety and pain in his search, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He looked again at the destroyed array center and the moved ancient array. He was almost certain that their actions this time would have a significant impact on the forces behind the old man in red.
The deviation of the formation meant that it could no longer play its original role, and the leaked dragon energy would naturally not easily flow into the channel they set up.
This bought Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin precious time to find out the truth.
Because of the reduction of dragon energy, the plans of the old man in red and others will be forced to be postponed.
Zhang Hao walked up to Zhang Qilin and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Brother Qilin, you did the right thing. Although I don't know where the old man in red comes from, he is obviously evil, not good."
Zhang Qilin turned his gaze in the direction where the old man in red disappeared, and continued, "As long as you believe in something, you should go forward without hesitation. Even if you encounter many obstacles and doubts along the way, as long as you stick to your own ideas and persevere, I believe that things will give us the answer in the end."
"It's like a gamble. No one knows which side the goddess of luck will favor. But if you are timid and overthink, it will affect your mentality."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, Zhang Qilin suddenly laughed.
"No regrets."
He simply said three words, but they seemed to contain thousands of words.
Afterwards, Zhang Qilin continued walking along the circular ramp and came to the place where the old man in red disappeared for a careful investigation.
Zhang Hao knew that Zhang Qilin believed that the old man in red could not have suddenly disappeared for no reason, and that the way he disappeared must involve some unknown mechanism.
After a careful search, Zhang Qilin found a small stainless steel pendant similar to a hexagram between two stones.
Although the pendant is small, it gives people a sense of weirdness. There seems to be a small disc on each corner of the hexagram, and an unknown pattern is carved inside the disc.
After observing carefully, Zhang Qilin sat on the stone next to him and looked at the Water Dragon King who was struggling to support the dragon eye.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "This is a small formation that can only be used once, similar to a teleportation formation. It seems that the power behind the old man in red cannot be underestimated, and he has a superb formation master."
Zhang Hao took the pendant from Zhang Qilin and looked at it carefully, but did not find any valuable information.
"So what are you going to do next?" he asked.
"What else can we do? The formation has been broken, so the next step is of course to trace the source. And you are the owner of the Yin Yang Inn, this matter concerns the safety of the people along the river and the flow of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, so it is better for you to decide."
Zhang Qilin's voice was calm, but Zhang Hao could hear the urgency in his heart.
As long as the old man in red can be found again and the power in his hands can be used to interrogate him, perhaps the secret behind the Zhang family and the mystery of Zhang Qilin's life experience can be uncovered.
"Okay, let's go back now. First, we should find a way to find the archaeological team, take back the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin from Chen Wenjin and others, and then help the Water Dragon King solve the current dilemma. As for the building halfway up the mountain, we still need to explore it carefully." Zhang Hao said.
"If we just destroy it by force, it obviously won't work. Because according to what you said, there is a jade artifact inside the building that carries dragon energy. Once it is forcibly destroyed, the dragon energy leaked will probably be hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that leaked from the dragon eye." Zhang Hao touched his forehead, obviously feeling a little tricky about this matter.
Zhang Qilin nodded, said nothing more, picked up the black gold ancient knife beside him, turned around and left.
After the two of them briefly said goodbye to the Water Dragon King, Zhang Hao gave him another drop of Yin and Yang Origin to prevent him from losing control during the leakage of dragon energy.
Every drop of this yin and yang origin can easily drive the existence of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, etc.
But on the Water Dragon King, Zhang Hao actually paid as many as three drops.
This is enough to show how much he takes this matter seriously.
The Water Dragon King was also delighted when he saw the third drop of Yin and Yang Origin.
It's not just a matter of healing.
The Origin of Yin and Yang gathers the purest power from both worlds of Yin and Yang. It can not only repair wounds in a very short time, but also greatly enhance the power of the Water Dragon King itself.
After obtaining these three drops of Yin and Yang essence, the Water Dragon King will not only be able to heal his own injuries, but his strength will also be rapidly improved in a short period of time.
For the Water Dragon King, isn’t this leakage of dragon eyes and dragon energy a rare opportunity?
After bidding farewell to the Water Dragon Queen, Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin went straight back to the shore.
At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered on the shore, and they were talking about the river surface which had calmed down again.
"Old village chief, you said that the Yin-Yang master and the people around him ran into the river? Could they have drowned?"
Zhuzi was eager to watch the fun and while looking into the river he poked the old village chief who was standing nearby with a serious expression.
The old village chief's eyes widened with anger. He glanced at Zhuzi fiercely, then kicked him on the butt without hesitation and scolded him, "You little bastard, why do you always talk so nonsense? That's Mr. Yin Yang, he's very capable! Do you think he's like you, who would just hear a noise if he fell into the river?"
Zhuzi covered his aching buttocks, grimacing and almost crying, but he still felt unwilling. He raised his hand stubbornly and pointed to the river surface, retorting: "Old village chief, you are too much, aren't you? Who can stay in the river for nearly an hour without showing up? Unless he can breathe underwater like a fish, who can hold on for so long?"
The surrounding villagers also began to discuss, their faces full of doubt and anxiety, and they were obviously skeptical about whether Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin could return safely. At this time, Fatty Wang, who was sitting next to them, suddenly spat, staring at the calm river surface, with an indescribable anxiety in his heart.
He cursed angrily, "Damn it, I just don't believe this! What kind of monsters are hiding in this river that even Brother Qilin and Brother Zhang Hao can't deal with them? This is outrageous!"
After saying that, Fatty Wang was about to rush into the river, but fortunately he was stopped in time by two villagers nearby.
They advised, "Brother Fatty, don't be anxious. What if they are still busy downstairs? Wouldn't you cause trouble for them if you go there?"
"That's right, we all know the abilities of Mr. Yin Yang. Who in the surrounding area doesn't know that he has great powers? Let's wait a little longer and don't listen to the nonsense that Zhuzi says. He never speaks with any confidence!"
The villagers echoed and tried to comfort Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang clenched his teeth, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and uneasiness.
Ever since he followed Zhang Hao on the journey to the Yin-Yang Inn, he knew very well that Zhang Hao had already served as the governor in the underworld and possessed the ability to communicate between Yin and Yang and to know everything.
However, even so, Zhang Hao is only a mortal after all. Faced with the unknown dangers hidden under this strange river surface, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?
Just as Fatty Wang was hesitating, wondering whether he should notify Hao Xie who was still staying in the Yin-Yang Inn, an astonishing change suddenly occurred on the river surface.

Two huge whirlpools appeared out of nowhere, and the originally calm river surface suddenly became windy and windy, with waves rolling up to half a meter high. The scene was terrifying.
Seeing this, the old village chief, Zhuzi and the surrounding villagers hurriedly retreated to the embankment nearby in panic, fearing that they would be sucked into the terrible whirlpool. They stared at the situation in the river with wide eyes and horror.
At this moment, two figures suddenly rushed out from the center of the vortex, like dragons soaring into the sky. They were the long-missing Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin.
They floated to the shore at an extremely fast speed, and this scene made the villagers even more in awe of Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin's abilities.
"Oh my God! Who are they? They have such magical powers! They are simply living gods!" the villagers exclaimed.
The old village chief's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
He walked forward tremblingly, and saw that although Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin looked unwell, they did not seem to be injured, which made him feel a little comforted.
He said respectfully: "Mr. Yin Yang, you are finally back! If you hadn't shown up just now, Fatty would have jumped down to save you!"
Fatty Wang also ran over panting, and carefully looked at Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin. After confirming that they were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He complained, "Can you two discuss things before doing anything in the future? We were in there for more than an hour, and we thought you were doing something downstairs, but we almost thought you were eaten by fish!"
Zhang Hao knew that Fatty Wang was worried about their safety, so he smiled and comforted him, "Fatty, don't worry. Let's go, there are more important things waiting for us to do. Time is running out, we can't delay any longer."
The old village chief, Zhuzi and others looked at Zhang Hao, who was determined to leave, and worried expressions appeared on their faces again.
The old village chief hurriedly stopped Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin and said anxiously: "Mr. Yin Yang, our village is in danger now, you can't just leave like this. All our lives depend on you to protect..."
However, before the old village chief could finish, Zhang Qilin calmly interrupted and said, "Don't worry, the dragon energy will not leak out on a large scale for the time being. During this period of time, try not to go near the river and don't fish. Wait for us to come back and solve this problem completely."
After hearing this, the old village chief seemed to understand why they were in a hurry to leave.
He asked tentatively, "Are you leaving this time for the Zhenjiang dragon coffin that the archaeological team salvaged?"
Seeing the old village chief being so long-winded, Fatty Wang couldn't help but said impatiently: "Hey, village chief, why are you so talkative? Brother Zhang Hao and Brother Qilin have made it very clear that even if we leave, your village will be fine. You just need to do what they tell you to do, and they will ensure that you are safe!"
Fatty Wang also realized the seriousness of the matter. They are now racing against time.
Instead of wasting time explaining here, it is better to get going quickly.
Although he didn't understand why Zhang Hao suddenly became so anxious, anyone with a discerning eye could see that things were beginning to deteriorate.
Zhang Hao was still a little worried, so he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it solemnly to the old village chief.
"Old village chief, the signal in this mountain is not good, and sometimes you may not be able to contact me in time. This jade pendant can help us get in touch quickly. If the village encounters any danger, or the dragon energy leaks on a large scale, you can smash this jade pendant and I will receive the news."
The old village chief took the jade pendant with trembling hands, knowing how precious it was.
Zhuzi next to him wanted to say something, but the old village chief glared at him fiercely, so he had to shut up obediently.
"Well then, our whole village is waiting for your triumphant return!" said the old village chief affectionately.
After bidding farewell to the old village chief, Zhang Hao, Zhang Qilin and Fatty Wang quickly headed in another direction. They did not return to the Yin Yang Inn, but chased in the direction the archaeological team had left.
This time, even without anyone reminding them, everyone understood their purpose.
Zhuzi looked at the three people's backs as they walked away and couldn't help but mutter, "Village Chief, are you just going to let them go like this? If the dragon energy really leaks out, even if we have this jade pendant, it will be useless. When they come back, we'll all be dead."
The old village chief glared at Zhuzi and said unhappily, "You are the only one who talks too much! I think you will be the first one to die!"
The weather in the mountains is changeable. Not long after Zhang Hao and his companions set out on their journey, it began to drizzle. They could not stop and could only continue on their way in the rain.
Fatty Wang sneezed, looked at the gloomy sky, and complained: "Although we run the Yin Yang Inn and Brother Zhang Hao is no longer an ordinary person, so what? The archaeological team has a car! What about us? We can only rely on our own two legs!"
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly and consoled him, "It's okay. If I'm right, even if they took the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin away, they won't go too far in a short time. This place is remote, so they will definitely find a place to stay in a nearby town. This leaves us some time to retrieve the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin."
"That sounds good, but what if I can't catch up?" (End of this chapter)
