Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 432 Alzheimer's Disease Everyone Has Alzheimer's Disease
"You said my dad is in heaven? What do you mean?"

Junior Sister had already been released from the water bubble by Zhu Luo. She looked up at the slightly bright night sky over Changzhou, completely bewildered.

Junior sister, "Could it be..."

Zhang Ze coughed lightly, quickly interrupting the wicked little cotton-padded jacket's daydreams.

"Don't overthink it, he's perfectly fine. The specifics aren't easy to explain here right now. Anyway, come back first."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze flicked his finger and cast an automatic hair-washing spell, cleaning his hair of dirt, stones, and leaves.

"Alright, then don't run around anymore, I'll be right back." Before even putting down the little walnut, the junior sister turned around and called out.

"mom!"

Zhang Ze moved the small walnut a little further away; his voice was really loud.

In Changzhou, a cry of "Mom's here!" was heard, and in an instant, the junior sister was surrounded by people.

Not only her own mother, but also several sect leaders from Changzhou came over.

Lily, who had been stealthily observing, suddenly appeared, standing at the back of the crowd with her feet up.

Because she was too short, she kept jumping behind, her two pigtails swinging up and down like cockroach antennae, trying to see what was going on.

However, in the end, he didn't shamelessly squeeze to the front.

Zhang Ze said, "It's hard to explain over a small walnut; it's easier to discuss this face-to-face."

However, before he could finish speaking, all the big shots on the other side of the screen vanished in an instant.

Only the lonely old Tang and Lily, who finally showed her face, hopping around in a black cloak, remained.

And the junior sister who was carelessly forgotten by her own mother.

What about people?

……

Just as he was staring at his junior sister, his mother-in-law's voice rang out behind him, startling him.

Mo Jingchun: "What happened? Tell me quickly."

Zhang Ze, "So fast?"

Also present were Elder Li and Qin Lang, who both looked at Zhang Ze with curiosity, waiting for his new performance.

And although it was somewhat impolite, they were actually more curious about what Zhang Ze had just encountered than about Mr. Chen's whereabouts.

To be on the safe side, after sending Zhang Ze to heaven, the two of them kept their eyes on Luoyu Mountain.

But just as they were about to reach the sky, Zhang Ze suddenly vanished from their senses.

It was as if this person didn't exist in the world, yet at the time, neither of them felt anything strange.

It wasn't until Zhang Ze reappeared that the strange feeling of something being ripped away returned to his heart.

Although the strange feeling was fleeting, the sticky sensation it left behind still surprised and unsettled them.

When questioned, Zhang Ze remained silent, instead looking around.

As the location Zhang Ze specifically chose before landing, although it was spacious, it was also drafty and obviously not suitable for discussing secrets.

Mo Jingchun understood, grabbed Zhang Ze by the collar, and took a step forward, leading him to the back mountain of Qianji Pavilion.

Qin Lang and the old sect leader also followed.

Zhang Ze's master, Li Guanqi, wisely refrained from moving.

If you have any questions, you can ask them tomorrow. Anyway, Zhang Ze isn't going to run away.

He bent down to pick up the small walnut that Zhang Ze had dropped on the ground when he was being carried away, and found that Lily was the only one left on the other side.

Lily was still jumping around.

"What about the other two?" Li Guanqi asked.

"I was in a hurry to get home, so I ran away," Lily replied.

"how about you?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I can ask again tomorrow. The boss isn't going to run away."

Lily, bouncing around, broke the little walnut.

Strangely enough, even though Lily wasn't making any noise, as soon as her voice disappeared, Li Guanqi immediately felt that the surroundings became much quieter.

A gentle breeze and the chirping of insects surrounded me, and the moon and stars were sparse overhead, as if nothing had just happened.

With nothing to do, he was about to go home for tea when he looked at the huge crater his apprentice had created and suddenly had an idea.

Li Guanqi pressed down with one hand and filled the hole.

Then he scattered a handful of seeds, and a moment later, not only the barren land in front of him, but also the land within a radius of about a mile was covered with small money trees.

Counting them, the number of money trees was exactly the same as the number of years his salary had been withheld.

Two hundred and sixty trees.

Old Li was thinking of taking over this place and renaming it Fa Cai Lin (Fortune Forest).

They'll have a year's salary deducted from this money tree.

"Five li should be enough, right?" Li Guanqi muttered to himself.

Behind Qianji Pavilion.

Compared to the original, pristine back mountain, it is now much more orderly and has many more unique buildings.

The bronze gate, over ten feet tall, is perfectly sealed and built against the mountain, its golden surface rustling in the wind.

Because of the strong winds, Zhang Ze named this place the Valley of the Wind.

The high-risk explosive projects of Qianji Pavilion are all carried out here.

After being led through the bronze gate and having all the magic arrays activated, Zhang Ze carefully took the two items out of his pocket.

It was precisely to protect these two things that he was brought to the Thousand Machine Pavilion.

"Everyone, please take a look."

One of the two objects in each hand.

In Zhang Ze's left hand was a sword-shaped book with charred edges.

Only half remained, the part of the sword book that hadn't been burned. It seemed there had once been some writing on it, but for some reason, the ink had all melted into one piece.

On his right hand was a black stone.

This black stone is different from the previous ones; its color is much lighter, and it also has some faint, blurry patterns engraved on it.

It looked like it had been peeled off from something.

But most importantly, there is the information left on this black stone.

Besides a sword intent, there were two pieces of information on the black stone.

[Headquarters in the Sky] [Going Home]

Mo Jingchun wouldn't mistake that sword intent; it was left there by Commander Chen.

Mo Jingchun took the black stone, examined it for a long time, and then asked, "Where did you find this?"

Zhang Ze did not hide anything and recounted everything he saw and heard outside the celestial canopy.

This includes the celestial barrier that prevents cultivators from crossing the boundary, the four continents that are like infants in a trance, and the consciousness that becomes more and more blurred the farther away from the four continents.

"Heavenly Barrier?" Elder Li frowned, feeling that this matter was somewhat outrageous.

Having never been inferior to anyone in his life, he immediately prepared to see what this heavenly obstacle was all about.

He took a step and disappeared from everyone's sight.

A moment later, he reappeared.

"What did you see?" Qin Lang asked curiously.

"Don't talk to me, I'll try again." The old sect leader Li waved his hand, somewhat bewildered, signaling Qin Lang to shut up, and then took another step forward.

A moment later, he returned to the crowd looking completely bewildered.

Qin Lang looked at Li Wenzhou thoughtfully.

The old sect leader himself found it difficult to describe this feeling; something was clearly wrong, yet everything seemed normal.

Moreover, this sense of unease gradually fades over time.
He not only couldn't get over it, but he even forgot what he had just been doing over there.

That so-called heavenly barrier seems to be real.

"A relapse of your brain disease? Do you need me to prescribe some medicine for you?" Qin Lang joked, seeing the old sect leader's appearance.

"Shut up, go and try it, see if you can get over it," Elder Li said, frowning.

"Let's do it another day. The sky is there, it's not going to fall down. We can experiment anytime."

"Let's talk about Blackstone and Sect Master Chen first. Some people are getting impatient."

Qin Lang gestured to Elder Li to be mindful of the occasion, as there was a sect leader's wife over there whose husband had gone missing.

"Ahem, continue talking about the boy." Elder Li coughed lightly, temporarily putting aside the matter of the Heavenly Barrier.

Zhang Ze, who had been standing quietly to the side, behaving like a good boy, finally spoke.

"Although the exact mechanism of the Heavenly Barrier is unknown, it is bidirectional. It prevents people from leaving while simultaneously preventing them from entering. "When I encountered these black stones, there was other information on them, but it was completely erased the moment I passed through the Heavenly Barrier."

"Fortunately, I've already memorized them."

"The information that was erased is a coordinate."

Zhang Ze raised his hand to summon paper and pen, and wrote down a series of coordinates composed of numbers.

"What is this?" Qin Lang asked curiously, looking at the string of numbers.

"A positioning algorithm used by cultivators of the Thousand Machines School to assist cultivators with weak spiritual sense in calculating the location of a target."

Mo Jingchun answered Qin Lang's question for Zhang Ze.

When the couple had nothing to do, they would look at the new things that Qianji Pavilion had come up with, so they naturally knew a lot about these things.

Qin Lang, "So..."

"I think the sect leader has found the headquarters of the Hundred Demon Sect, but is temporarily trapped there."

This location is the coordinate of the main headquarters.

"The headquarters of the Hundred Demon Sect is located outside the heavens."

Zhang Ze shared his guess.

These black stones are letters that the sect leader sent back to the four continents.

However, due to the presence of the heavenly barrier, most of the key information on the 'letter' was erased.

Only that obsession with returning home, because it was so strong, was preserved.

It was Dao's longing to go home that awakened the spirit's intelligence, which led to the subsequent events.

At the same time, this obsession pulled Zhang Ze back from the brink of losing his way.

"Could it be a trap?" Qin Lang, a habitual offender of stealing vegetables, was always cautious.

He felt that this information might not have been left by Commander Chen.

“Impossible, I can’t mistake the sword intent on this,” Mo Jingchun immediately retorted.

Qin Lang: "It could also be fabricated. Back then, I fabricated an aura and disguised myself as the monk Kukai to sneak into the Buddhist sect and steal Xiaoxue away."

"The Eastern Qi royal family's methods were passed down to the Heavenly Sect, and they are most skilled at this kind of change of appearance."

Qin Lang triggered a counterattack spiral and slightly disrupted the opponent's rhythm.

“That makes sense,” Elder Li replied instinctively, playing the straight man.

"You guys..." Mo Jingchun said anxiously.

This matter concerns the safety of Commander Chen, and after these two old hags analyzed it, they made it seem as if their own husbands were already dead.

"Um, I have some ideas, would you like to hear them?" Zhang Ze carefully raised his hand, signaling the three big shots to look over.

Qin Lang, "Go ahead and speak."

He generally doesn't use the counterattack spiral when facing younger people.

Zhang Ze carefully considered his words.

"I think the sect leader is alright."

"I met Xiao Jing's illusory image in Luoyu Mountain, and he was no match for the sect leader."

"I think what truly trapped the sect leader was that power that made people lose their way and forget everything."

"Because of that power, even the sect leader is not confident that he can return safely without becoming old—I mean, while maintaining his normal sanity."

"Right now, the sect leader and Xiao Jing are probably in a state where they know the other exists, but they can't eliminate each other."

Chen Qianhu first sent the Black Stone back to the Four Continents a year ago, but Xiao Jing only belatedly discovered this two months ago and hastily formulated a plan.

Although this hasty plan almost succeeded, it resulted in a major explosion.

……

Just as Zhang Ze was about to say something to comfort his mother-in-law...

Mo Jingchun gestured for him not to say anything more.

"Don't try to comfort me. Commander Qian will be fine. No one in these four continents can harm him, and the same goes for those outside the four continents."

She picked up the note.

"First, we need to determine if the coordinates are correct. Also, we need to find out how Xiao Jing sent the person here."

"He must have mastered the method of traveling between the heavens and the four continents."

According to the prisoners still held in the dungeons of the Six Sects, before the Hundred Demon Sect was destroyed, in addition to the Grand Elder, the disciples who were valued were also qualified to go to the Demon Sect to pay their respects.

However, with each trip, their memories of going to the Hundred Demon Sect would be erased, and they would not remember how they came or how they left.

It must be related to that sky barrier.

Before Zhang Ze could say anything more, Elder Li stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Go and rest first, we'll take care of the rest."

"Oh, by the way, remember to come find me tomorrow and tell me about the Heavenly Barrier."

"it is good."

After Zhang Ze responded, the bigwigs came and went in a hurry, disappearing from Zhang Ze's sight.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ze decided to listen to advice and eat his fill.

Go home first.

Having returned to his residence in the Thousand Machines Pavilion after a long absence, Zhang Ze saw a dark figure leap down from the big tree in front of the door before he even entered.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that it was neither a phantom of Xiao Jing nor an assassin from the remnants of the Hundred Demons Sect, but Li Jue.

"Tell me, tell me quickly, brother, what were you up to again? What was that meteor shower all about?"

Li Jue, carrying a jug of wine in one hand, swaggered towards Zhang Ze with a gossipy look on his face.

They seemed determined to drink until they dropped tonight.

But before Li Jue could get close, a red and green color appeared from the side.

Dressed in red, Li Yueqi, carrying a bamboo stick, flew through the air and kicked Li Jue in the head.

After stomping Li Jue's head into the ground, she smiled gently at Zhang Ze.

"Sorry, don't mind my brother's nonsense, you should rest first."

After saying that, Li Yueqi grabbed Li Jue's hair with one hand, pulled him out of the ground, and then, dragging him along, with a bamboo stick in one hand and her younger brother in the other, they disappeared into the night.

To be honest, Zhang Ze really wanted to chat with someone, but seeing the still-wet bloodstains of Li Jue on the ground, he wisely closed the courtyard gate.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Ze seemed to have forgotten that he was already a half-Nascent Soul cultivator, having evolved from the Lesser Friend Realm to the Senior Realm. If he wanted, he could easily rescue Li Jue from the clutches of evil.

Of course, he forgot more than just this one thing; he also forgot that Ah Li and her friends were still inside his body.

……

Ah Li's spatial artifact with its unusually long name.

"Four twos with an eight, want it?"
"If you don't want to, I will chain the spell card [Rotten Princess's Ambition] to shuffle 348 Rotten Princess tokens into your deck. At the same time, I will activate the effect of the monster card [Lily's Sausage] from my hand. If there is a token with the same name in your opponent's deck, I will send it to the graveyard. This turn, my commander can move twice and recover 3 points of spirit."

After saying that, Senior Sister Qin sent [Lily's Sausage] to the graveyard, then picked up a General from the Go board in front of her, moved it twice, and placed it behind the Prime Minister and in front of the Cannon.

The Sword Sect fangirl opposite her frowned as she looked at the suddenly appearing Fu Hime cards in her hand, then sighed.

"I give up! By the way, Senior Sister Qin, when are we going to get out of here?"

Having already lost her nerves, she now longs for the fresh air outside.

"Soon, I think." Feeling a bit bored after winning, Senior Sister Qin put away her deck.

"Do you think Senior Brother Zhang might have forgotten about us? I heard from rumors that he has a bad memory," the Sword Sect fangirl whispered.

"It shouldn't be that bad... How could I forget something so important?"

Having also heard the rumor, Senior Sister Qin hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.

She thought it must be a rumor; no one would forget something so important.

But to be on the safe side, she still decided to ask, but after calling for a long time, all she got in response was Ah Li's rhythmic snoring.

……

Beyond the sky.

"That little brat couldn't have missed it, could he..."

Chen Qianhu looked at Sizhou, which was almost a small dot.

He tore a page from the hardcover copy of "The Way to Heaven" in his hand, and a moment later the page transformed into a sword-shaped book.

The sword flew past and struck a bluish-black stone arm.

He chopped several black stones off the stone arm and returned them to his hand before the sword book vanished.
