135 Journey in the Hell Part 2
Awkward!
For a moment, there was nothing but awkwardness in the atmosphere. The girl was staring at him with wide eyes while the men in black robes were feeling angry and confused at the same time.
One of them walked to the front and spoke.
“Human, why are you trying to interfere in the matters of Ghost Clan? Aren’t there enough female humans in your world?”
Zhang Pu shook his head and said “There are three more females comparable to her. But, they will also be my wife.”
He raised his finger and pointed at him.
“You got a problem with me having four wives?”
At this moment, the girl was even more confused and a little bit angry. She wanted to punch him and move away from his arms but knowing that he was saving her, she decided to calm down.
“If you kill them, I will agree to you.”
Zhang Pu lowered his head hearing those words. He saw the murderous intent in her eyes. For a moment, he saw himself. He saw the same kind of hatred that he had.
The next moment, his eyes turned cold. At this moment, a few words rang in his head.
‘It doesn’t matter how much hatred you have. Unless you get the power to accomplish your goal, don’t let yourself be ruthless. Because ruthless people without power suffer the most.’
Remembering those words, the coldness in his eyes disappeared.
‘Since I can’t become ruthless, I will try to finish this as soon as possible.’
“Let’s finish it then.”
Zhang Pu raised his hand and clenched his fist. Seeing this, everyone instantly backed away but the massive blood energy gushed out of the ground and covered them inside a sphere.
“Blood Domain”
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
Seeing that blood domain, the girl in his hand was shocked. She looked at Zhang Pu with wide eyes. She couldn’t see his cultivation but she didn’t think he would be stronger than Golden Core Realm, especially for someone so young.
Splash!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
When the blood domain disappeared, the blood fell over the ground and those men also fell on that blood. Their bodies were pierced through. None of them were breathing.
‘Weak! Too weak.’
Zhang Pu noticed their strength and then looked at her.
‘Why is she so weak? Was that feeling wrong? No, my bloodline wouldn’t make such a silly mistake. She is at Foundation Establishment Realm. Is her condition the same as Wu Lin’s?’
“Wow!” The girl’s eyes twinkled when she stared at him.
Zhang Pu was stunned by this reaction. Before he could say anything, she caught his shoulders.
“Wow! You are so powerful. How can you be so strong? What kind of move was that? How did you get this strong?”
The girl started questioning him like a child who saw something amazing. Zhang Pu heavily sighed and said.
“Shouldn’t you get healed first? Why did you get so much injured?”
Hearing his question, the excitement and curiosity on her face faded. It was once again covered with a gloomy look. She clenched her fist as she struggled to tell him anything.
“Hush! I don’t know what happened to you but you should heal first. Eat this.” Zhang Pu heavily sighed. He understood her mood and didn’t force her to reveal everything.
“My name is Huang Zhenxue. Thank you!” The girl took the yellow pill and sat down. She also understood her situation and decided to trust the man next to her.
After all, he did kill her enemies. Even if he decided not to help her later, he would still get dragged down. But, she didn’t understand why a human want her to be his wife.
More importantly, it was one of his wives. She felt frustrated thinking about it.
‘Damn it! I am not thinking about it anymore. I need to recover.’ Zhenxue ate the pill and started absorbing energy inside it.
Zhang Pu sat next to her and kept staring at her.
At this moment, several small images appeared in his mind.
‘Elder Brother, can I play with you?’
‘You? Tch! Go away. We won’t play with trash.’
‘Yeah! Yeah! You are a shame to the royal family. Go away!’
……….
‘Mother, why am I the only one born with talent? Why does everyone have talent? What is wrong with me?’
‘How would I know? I feel frustrated just looking at your face. I can’t believe I gave birth to trash like you.’
Slap!
‘Go away! You are the reason why my reputation has fallen. I was the best concubine and now I have fallen to the worst because of you.’
………..
‘Elder Brother, don’t leave me alone. Take me with you.’ While being dragged by a strange dark creature, young Zhang Pu cried out to his brothers but none of them looked behind.
‘Why? Why does everyone hate? Why does no one want to me help? Why was I even born?’
Young Zhang Pu cried out loudly until he got dragged into a well. Around him, there was nothing but forest. He was lonely and weak. He was crying because the dark creature was trying to eat him.
He was being eaten alive by the shadowy creature. But when his body was inside the shadowy creature, a strange red glow burst out of him. This red glow was so hot that the entire shadowy creature melted into a liquid.
And, the next moment that liquid entered his body. At the same time, a strange black tablet also entered and disintegrated into his blood. A red symbol emerged from his forehead indicating his new identity.
[Supreme Devil’s Inheritance- Blood of Four Queens, Power of Dark Sun. Your blood will control hell and your aura will shake heaven. Obtain four queens, dual cultivate with them to harness their bloodline and get stronger.]
That was the moment when his destiny changed. An unknown tablet that he encountered when he had got a chance to enter the treasury of the royal capital.
For others, it was just waste material. Nobody questioned when he took it. Waste can only have waste. It was their thinking. But, they didn’t know. He didn’t know.
That tablet was one of the greatest treasures in history. After that, he stayed in that place for days, trying to find a way to leave the well. Although that liquid somehow increased his cultivation, it was still too low for him.
But, after a long hardship, climbing the well by holding on to the walls with his feet and palms, he finally came out alive.
When he returned to the palace, he expected his mother to be happy but the reply that he received was something he never expected.
‘Why? Why did you live? Why couldn’t you just die? He would’ve forgotten you ever existed. He would’ve forgotten that I had given birth to trash like you.’
Bang!
She slammed him to the wall and looked at him with killing intent, asking.
‘Why couldn’t you just die?’
At this moment, he simply stared at her with confusion as thousands of questions arose in his head.
‘Why? Why? You are my mother. You are the one who gave birth to me. So, why do you want me to die? Is your position really more important than your own son? Does my talent really put the shame on you that you can’t wash?’
‘Why? Why does this world want geniuses? Why does this family need geniuses? What have they ever accomplished?’
Unfortunately, he didn’t receive the answer. He just got unconscious after that attack. After that, he lived in shame and misery. Every day some would either contempt him or strike him.
Because his talent was so low, his cultivation didn’t grow. But the royal family couldn’t kill him. If they kill him, the royal family will give the other Four Great Families a chance to push them out of authority.
Royal Family must be perfect.
It was the motto of their family and the thing that Zhang Pu hated the most. Even so, thanks to that motto, he got resources to increase his cultivation. When he finally reach the True Essence Realm, they sent him to the Sun Dragon Sect.
It was the only place where he could not contact the royal family and everyone in the capital would forget him. But before leaving, Zhang Pu encountered Po.
After his encounter with Po, he realized something.
Status!
It was the first thing that he must get rid of. But he also realizes that someone needs to control the world so he couldn’t just get rid of status.
But after joining the Sun Dragon Sect, he finally realized his motto. He finally realizes his own dream that he would accomplish no matter the cost.
Sect gave him a chance to realize his dream because it was a place where geniuses would thrive and ordinary people will cry.
Whether it was talent tests or tournaments between students. The geniuses kept getting more while common people kept getting nothing. They were slowly left in the dust.
It gave him just how bad this world was. It gave him the idea of what he needed to change. All of the things that he suffered. It wasn’t just him.
There were thousands or even millions of others who suffered the same fate. And, it was only because they didn’t have talent. It was only because they weren’t geniuses.
And, today, he saw himself in this girl. The one who should have the talent seems to be suffering the same fate.
