Going crazy is something that any martial artist tries to avoid, but no one can guarantee that they will not encounter it once in their lifetime.
Whether it is a casual cultivator from a humble background or a strong man from a powerful force, everything is always fair on this point.
Of course, some people with a profound background will prepare some treasures or elixirs that can calm the mind and nourish the mind to prevent inner demons and avoid going crazy during practice.
Although those treasures or elixirs that soothe the mind and nourish the mind are effective in calming the mind and suppressing inner demons, they are not completely guaranteed to prevent recurrence.
It is true that the Zhan family cannot lack that kind of pure mind and soul. In addition, with the cultivation of the Zhan family, it can be said that he has almost one foot on the threshold of the venerable realm, so he should not be so easy to go crazy.
As one of the eighteen major forces, the Zhan family can be said to be the most powerful one in Tianyu City, even if the Tu Emperor does not exaggerate.
As the Qianlong Conference approaches, more and more casual cultivators are coming here, and of course there are also some disciples from small powerful sects who want to try their luck.
Zhan family.
Since leaving the secret realm, Zhan Dengping looks much more mature than he did then. Perhaps due to the great changes in his family, his face no longer had the carefree look before, replaced by calmness.
At this time, he had a frown on his face, and there was a hint of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Now in the Zhan family, although his activities have not been restricted, he understands that this is just because the old man of the Zhan family is still alive. If he fails to survive this hurdle, the consequences can be imagined.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
In front of him was his grandfather's confidant, the old housekeeper, who was also the chief housekeeper of the entire Zhan family, an old man old enough to be his grandfather.
Zhan Fang and Zhan Dengping themselves don't remember how many years this old housekeeper has been with his grandfather. They only know that he has been in the Zhan family since his father was still young.
"Young Master, the current alchemists in the clan are all with the First Master. Although we have sent people to post notices outside, to be honest, this matter is not easy to handle."
"How to say?"
The old man in front of him is one of the few people who is trustworthy and impossible to betray. It is precisely because Zhan Dengping knows this that he leaves this matter to him.
"The old man's injury was a trauma to his soul. With his cultivation, even if his inner demons attack, it would not be so seriously injured. This time, someone is obviously causing trouble behind his back."
Zhan Dengping didn't know, and many people in the Zhan family secretly suspected that there was something fishy behind this matter.
But the problem now is that as Mr. Zhan falls into a coma, the entire Zhan family has fallen under the control of someone.
Pacing back and forth, Zhan Dengping realized for the first time that no matter how ambitious he was, he could not do anything without the support of his family and the old man.
"Keep looking! In Tianyu City, which is so big, how can we not find even one Dan King? Even if Tianyu City doesn't have one, how can it be around?"
This time, Mr. Zhan's injury was something that ordinary people could do nothing about.
The Zhan family is not without an Alchemy King. As one of the eighteen major forces, the Zhan family has also recruited an Alchemy King. Although it is only a junior Alchemy King, it has received considerable attention from the Zhan family.
"Damn it! If King Cheng Dan were still here, Grandpa wouldn't be treated like this!"
The Alchemy King of the Zhan family, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but just a few days before Mr. Zhan went crazy, he was unfortunately killed while going out to collect medicine.
Zhan Dengping has always felt that this matter is not that simple! Especially a few days later, Mr. Zhan went wrong in his practice and went crazy!
"Hey, isn't this the second brother?"
At this moment, a strange voice came.
Looking carefully, a young man who is about the same age as Zhan Dengping and whose appearance is fifty or sixty-six percent similar, but lacks Zhan Dengping's heroic spirit and has a hint of dandy between his brows, approaches from a distance.
Seeing this person, Zhan Dengping's expression turned cold.
"What? You didn't even say hello when you saw your elder brother?"
This person is now the eldest grandson of the Zhan family, and he and Zhan Dengping have been sworn enemies since childhood.
However, although Zhan Dengping was young at that time, because he was a direct descendant, he was always the eldest son of the Zhan family.
But now, the person in front of me naturally takes all this on himself.
"What a big brother! Zhan Qing, if you still have the semblance of being a big brother, try your best to help Grandpa get through this difficult time! Instead of busy fighting for power within the clan!"
"presumptuous!"
Someone next to Zhan Qing snorted coldly, "What is your attitude! Don't forget, the person in front of you is the heir of the current family! Do you think you are still the eldest son of the Zhan family?"
When a tiger falls and is bullied by a dog, this can be fully reflected at this time.
The person next to Zhan Qing was just a follower. It seemed that Zhan Qing had recruited a good person from outside. Normally, when he saw Zhan Dengping not trying to please him, he would dodge and avoid speaking.
Now, with such a tone!
"Who do you think you are! You are so mean to my young master!"
boom!
Although Zhan Fang looked 70 or 80 years old, it was as if he had stepped half a foot into the coffin, but suddenly, the terrible breath directly suppressed the man's breath, and his face turned completely purple.
Half-reverence realm!
Who would have thought that the old man in front of him turned out to be a semi-powerful man!
Even among the Zhan family, there are definitely very few who reach the semi-reverence level, and any one of them has a pivotal position!
That person also didn't expect that the old man with an ordinary appearance in front of him could be so terrifying, and he felt like he was about to suffocate.
"Zhan Fang! Stop!"
Finally, it was Zhan Dengping who spoke, and the man felt that the terrifying coercion suddenly disappeared, and he felt as if he had walked back from the gate of hell.
At this moment, he no longer dared to speak, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Zhan Qing on the side looked gloomy, looked at Zhan Fang and then at his nominal clan brother, and snorted coldly, "Zhan Denping, don't think that you can sit back and relax with this old guy protecting you now! Wait until my grandfather becomes the head of the family.
, that’s when you get out of the house!”
The struggle for family power is often very secretive, but Zhan Qing is so blatant, there are only two possibilities.
One is that he is a complete idiot, and the other is that he is sure of victory and has no scruples.
Obviously, Zhan Qing does not look like the former, so there is only the second possibility.
However, he was still somewhat concerned about the intimidating power of the great butler Zhan Qing, and after finishing speaking, he left coldly.
"By the way, as the eldest brother, I would like to remind you that no matter how much you didn't care about the family's honor before, you don't want to befriend anyone, otherwise you will lose the face of the Zhan family!"
