In less than an hour, the two of them arrived at Qingyuan Mountain Village, Li Mengxue's house. However, there was no one at home.
"Isn't this Mengxue? Why did you come back today? I was wondering who it was just now.”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed like a housewife walked in and greeted Li MengXue and Ye Tian warmly.
"Aunt Chen!" Li Mengxue looked at the middle-aged woman and nodded with a smile.
"Mengxue, this young man should be your boyfriend, right? He's really handsome!"
Aunt Chen turned to Ye Tian, examining him for a moment before speaking.
"This is Aunt Chen, who lives next door to me!”
Li Mengxue's face was slightly red. She did not deliberately explain because no matter what, no one would believe it. After all, no matter where it was, as long as a woman brought a man to her house, she would naturally think of this.
"Aunt Chen!"
Ye Tian nodded slightly at the woman Li Mengxue called Aunt Chen.
"By the way, Aunt Chen, do you know where my parents went? Why aren't they at home?”
Li Mengxue looked at her empty house and asked Auntie Chen.
"Sigh! Oh right, look at my brain. How could I have almost forgotten such an important matter? I just heard from your mother that your father had an accident at the construction site and was sent to the city hospital. Your mother and your brother have also rushed over! Your mother knew that you would be coming back today, so she specially asked me to tell you!”
When Aunt Chen heard Li Mengxue's question, she instantly slapped her forehead. She thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"What, you said something happened to my dad?”
Li MengXue's body trembled and she almost fell, but Ye Tian helped her up. Her eyes reddened and she took a deep breath.
"That's right! I heard that the equipment at the construction site seems to have malfunctioned, and your father happened to be on that equipment just now. I don't know the actual situation, but I heard that the surgery fee is quite high. You should hurry and take a look!”
Aunt Chen sighed helplessly. The Li family's luck was really bad! A few days ago, the second son of the Li family lost more than 100,000 yuan because he went gambling. Today, Li Mengxue's father was in trouble.
"Alright, I'll go right away!"
Li MengXue nodded, turning to Ye Tian. She had invited Ye Tian to her home today, but she hadn't expected this to happen so suddenly.
"Ye Tian, I'm really sorry about what happened today!”Li Mengxue said apologetically.
"Who would know if something like this happened? You should go and see your father first!”
Ye Tian shook his head, not minding her words.
Qingyuan Mountain Village wasn't very close to the city hospital, so to save time, Ye Tian called Zhao Da, the person in charge of the Imperial City KTV, and asked them to send a car over to take them to the hospital.
Not long after, a car stopped in front of the two. Zhao Da didn't hesitate to drive over after receiving Ye Tian's call. Ye Tian had wanted to accompany Li Mengxue, but Li Mengxue had rejected him.
In her eyes, Ye Tian had already helped her family a lot and she couldn't rely on him for everything.
Ye Tian didn't force her. Li Mengxue still had money on her, so she definitely wouldn't lack for surgery fees. Moreover, Ye Tian had asked Zhao Da to accompany Li Mengxue, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
"Boss, don't worry. If I, Zhao Da, can't even handle such a small matter, then I can scram and leave." Zhao Da also promised before sending Li Mengxue to the hospital.
Ye Tian didn't worry about Zhao Da, so he didn't say anything more, nodding and watching the two leave.
Ye Tian didn't leave Qingyuan Village immediately, because the System had just issued him a mission.
"Killed a hundred-year-old zombie and obtained its hundred-year-old inner core. I received a system gift bag!”
The western mountains were filled with Corpse Qi, which dyed the sky black. It was like a thunderstorm, which was very terrifying.
There was also a stream of white gas that emitted golden light that continuously gathered in that direction, as if it was being absorbed by something. It was the same as when a human body absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy into its body during cultivation.
However, this Qi was different from ordinary Spirit Qi, so Ye Tian didn't know what it was.
Ye Tian ran in this direction, but the closer he got to the area, the stronger the aura became. Ye Tian could sense an aura of the same origin, and he could sense that this was definitely something extraordinary.
From the system's mission, Ye Tian knew what he had to accomplish. It was a hundred-year-old zombie, and this wasn't the time when it was fully born. If it was born, its aura would be even more powerful.
Zombies were not accepted by heaven and earth, and were excluded from the Six Paths. If they wanted to cultivate, they had to cultivate by sucking human blood and swallowing the moonlight. After cultivating for a hundred years, they could barely condense an inner core, and this inner core was the essence of the zombie's hundred years of cultivation.
Only a hundred-year-old zombie could condense a zombie inner core. The conditions for the natural formation of a zombie were already very harsh. In addition, it had to be a hundred-year-old zombie to condense an inner core.
Therefore, without a certain amount of luck, they basically couldn't meet them. Even if they did meet them, they might not be able to defeat them.
The energy contained in the inner core condensed by the zombie was very pure. It could be directly absorbed and transformed into its own strength. This was also the reason why some Taoist priests with higher cultivation liked to hunt zombies.
At their realm, it was very difficult to increase their strength. They would not easily give up on things that were beneficial to their cultivation. How could they not have some selfish motives?
……
In an empty area in the western mountains, a number of luxury cars were parked side by side. There were dozens of men in black bodyguards surrounding the area, not allowing anyone to approach.
These bodyguards were not ordinary bodyguards. They were considered the best bodyguards in the Chu family. They were all retired border special forces or former mercenaries. Each of them was very strong. The muscles on their bodies were even, and they looked full of explosive strength.
They were originally responsible for protecting Chu Feng's father, Chu Tianba, but they were all sent here this time. It could be seen how much importance they placed on this matter. If there was even the slightest problem, everything they had bid for would probably be burned to ashes.
There was an old and shabby coffin placed on the center of the array. It was covered with red lines. Below the coffin, there were things like glutinous rice scattered all over it. Four ten-centimeter-long iron rods firmly fixed the four corners of the coffin lid.
