Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1896 - 1893: Unexpected Complications

Yes, Lin Tian saw the courtyard next door, exactly the same courtyard, but the entrance and the road from earlier had disappeared. He tried to extend his penetrating gaze further, and then saw more courtyards, still identical courtyards.

Even at the end of his penetrating gaze, there were only courtyards and more courtyards, completely devoid of an entrance, nor did he find an exit.

Damn, Zhang Lingyu, your house is too big, way too extravagant! Lin Tian ranted a few complaints in his heart. His super vision couldn’t see the end, making his newly calmed mood restless again.

Speaking of which, the super vision has failed more frequently recently, failing in the Netherworld is understandable, after all, it’s the Underworld, and the restrictions are quite strong.

But it also failed in the underground space of Charlotte Island, in the underground space sealing Jiang Chen, and now it’s failing with the Zhang Family as well. Before this, his super vision was always invincible.

"Master, it’s not that your super vision is malfunctioning, but that your power has fallen behind. Recently, you’ve been encountering only powerful entities or forces." The voice of the Sword Spirit rang in his mind.

Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brows and communicated, "You’re right, my power has indeed fallen behind. If I had Qingyao’s power, both in heaven and on earth, I should be able to come and go freely at the Zhang Family."

"Who’s Qingyao? Your old flame?" The Sword Spirit asked very inquisitively; Lin Tian rarely mentioned the name Qingyao, so the Sword Spirit didn’t know, which was understandable.

"I wish, but unfortunately not. With my current power, I can’t keep up with her pace. Do you think Charlotte dares to claim her power can rival Cain?" Lin Tian replied with some amusement, shaking his head slightly.

"That’s impossible. Cain is the Ancestor of the Blood Clan, she is a descendant of the Blood Clan, she can never rival Cain because her bloodline’s power limits her." The Sword Spirit said very confidently.

"Impossible?" Lin Tian murmured in his mind and then said lightly, "Originally, the Thirteen Blood Hosts were only Third Generation Blood Clan, but they killed the Second Generation Blood Clan, and their power has long broken the limits of their bloodline. Would you say that the power of the bloodline is still unbeatable?"

"This... I don’t know, perhaps the master is correct." The Sword Spirit found it hard to answer, as it was aware of the matter of the Thirteen Blood Hosts, those Third Generation Blood Clan whose power had long surpassed the Second Generation.

Lin Tian withdrew from super vision and said firmly in his mind, "Remember, there are no absolutes in this world; even Ksitigarbha has reincarnated as a mortal. What can’t happen? Lack of power is only temporary."

"So how do we get out of this enchantment?" The Sword Spirit circled back to the real issue.

Lin Tian did not answer but instead glanced around, then leaped onto the courtyard wall.

Originally, the courtyard was bathed in moonlight, but as soon as he reached the top of the wall, a mist mysteriously spread, and in less than a breath, the mist shrouded everything, reaching a state where one could barely see an inch in front.

Lin Tian activated his super vision again, but this time he saw nothing, just fog, like the Chaos World, with no direction.

"The Zhang Family’s Demon Exorcism Formation is too powerful, worthy of being an ancient Eastern nation, surpassing any Western Wizard I’ve ever seen," the Sword Spirit exclaimed.

"That’s for sure, you call it witchcraft, we call it the Demon Exorcism Skill, it’s the difference between the lesser path and the grand path," Lin Tian said proudly, although the Demon Exorcism Skill was engraved on him, overshadowing Western Wizards was worth some pride.

He jumped down from the courtyard wall, but this time he didn’t know which courtyard he had entered again.

In another courtyard, Zhang Ruyan was pacing back and forth, muttering to herself: "That guy, I told you not to wander around randomly, but you won’t listen. I should have tied you up with a Flower Vine earlier..."

Saying this, her face turned slightly red, obviously remembering the scene at the cabin where she wanted to forcefully restrain Lin Tian.

"You’d better wait obediently for me, and don’t trigger any restrictions, otherwise you’ll be sorry," Zhang Ruyan gritted her teeth and said.

As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly a thunderous roar sounded, she paused for a moment, then stomped her foot: "Really a troublesome guy..."

After saying this, she was about to enter through an Eight Diagrams Gate, but suddenly someone appeared from another door and walked into the courtyard, Zhang Ruyan retracted her steps.

She turned to look at the newcomer, with an indifferent expression: "Zhang Heyuan, I fear the person you want is probably struck to death by thunder."

"What’s to fear, that kid has a tough life, struck several times won’t kill him," the newcomer was Zhang Heyuan who waved his hand nonchalantly.

"What are you here for?" Zhang Ruyan coldly said.

"I say, can’t you have a better attitude, after all, I’m your elder..." Zhang Heyuan said helplessly.

Zhang Ruyan glanced at his silvery hair, but was unimpressed: "In the Zhang Family, regardless of age, only the ranking in the pursuit of Tao is counted. My master and your master are of the same generation, so you and I are also of the same generation."

"Alright, I won’t argue with you. All these years have passed, your mouth is still as sharp. Back then, when the master eliminated all objections to accept you as his direct disciple, I was indeed surprised."

"My master is the previous Heavenly Master, highly skilled in Tao arts. Do you know how many people wished to become his direct disciple? Those twice your age would dream of being the Heavenly Master’s direct disciple."

"Yet the master chose you, and subsequent events also proved how wise the master’s choice was. You, with extraordinary talent, defeated your peers and took the qualification as the Heavenly Master’s Successor."

"It’s just a pity..." Zhang Heyuan recalled the past, his gaze lingering with deep regret.

Zhang Ruyan looked up at the sky, seemingly reluctant for Zhang Heyuan to see what was in her eyes, after a while, she softly said: "The master passed away many years ago, what’s the point of dwelling in the past."

"There is no point, if your master was still here back then, the elders wouldn’t have..." Zhang Heyuan lamented, attempting to express more but suddenly realized two sharp gazes were directed at him.

Turning, he saw Zhang Ruyan’s face full of frost, gaze filled with hatred. Old Man Zhang quickly swallowed his words, awkwardly said: "Let’s not speak about it anymore, old matters, why bring them up. It’s good you’re willing to come home."

"I’m going to find Lin Tian, lest he trigger any restrictions, get struck dead, and the blame falls on me again." Zhang Ruyan said coldly; after speaking she was about to leave.

But Zhang Heyuan stepped forward to block her path, chuckling: "No need to rush, it won’t kill him. Don’t you want to see if Lin Tian can escape the enchantment? I’ve seen this young man, even I can’t see through him, I’d like to see what method he has."

Zhang Ruyan was about to get angry at being blocked, but after hearing his words, her heart moved. If she hurried to find Lin Tian, she might be seen through by Old Man Zhang. Forget it, let’s stall him for a bit.

Besides, Old Man Zhang wasn’t entirely wrong, Lin Tian was indeed deep and unfathomable, I really want to see what he’s capable of, Zhang Ruyan pondered internally.
