Chapter 33 From now on, I am your adoptive father
【Tian Sha Gu Xing (Red)】: 【Your family is just a passing guest, and you live alone in this life.】

On Niu Ma’s head, the entry of [Unlucky Star] was almost red and black.

He took the Qi and Blood Pill with a dazed look on his face. He didn’t seem sad at all. After all, he had just become his cheap adoptive father for most of the day, and they hadn’t even reached the level of loving father and filial piety when his adoptive father died.

The people around just thought that Niu Ma was too sad to speak, and they all came forward to comfort him.

“Brother Niu, I’m sorry.”

“Brother Niuma, hold on…”

“Master Zhan…sigh…”

Zhao Qingshan’s face was filled with sorrow, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He said:

“Brother Niuma, you don’t have to be too sad. It’s fate. It’s destiny… It’s a pity that you just became a young master. It’s going to be the same as the rest of us…”

Zhan Yupeng is dead, and Niu Magang’s support has fallen. Things will inevitably return to the way they were before.

As the saying goes, I am not afraid of my brothers living a hard life, I am just afraid of my brothers driving a Land Rover. This is exactly his mentality now.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Niu Ma, who was originally stunned, suddenly shuddered and murmured:
“Yes, it’s fate… all of this was… all arranged by that person!”

The words of the Great Sage suddenly rang in his mind: “…Zhan Yupeng has a slight affinity with you. He is just a protector arranged by the God for you…”

At that time, he didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence. He didn’t expect it to be here!

Niu Ma immediately looked at the slightly curved dagger on the ground, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

It’s them again!

The enemy is coming!

It turned out that from the beginning, Fu Zun had already calculated what was going to happen tonight, so he arranged for Zhan Yupeng to protect him.

In this way, Zhan Yupeng’s death was worthy of his death…

Get stronger! He will continue to get stronger!

Only by becoming stronger constantly can he live up to the kindness shown to him by the God.

A group of people were arguing, and the apprentices present had different thoughts. Although most of them looked sad, there were also many who were gloating and watching Niu Ma’s joke.

After all, Niu Ma suddenly stood out from the crowd, so many people would naturally feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and then Wang Liang strode in, followed by several people, led by the village head Zhou Boyan.

“What are you yelling about so late at night?” Wang Liang frowned and said, “Master Li…Zhan!? Who…who is this!?”

Wang Liang was horrified when he saw the two bodies in the main hall.

Originally, he was pulled out of bed by the village head in the middle of the night and told that he wanted to see Li Yan, so he brought people to the charity cemetery.

But I didn’t expect to see Zhan Yupeng and a headless corpse!
Seeing Wang Liang coming, Zhao Qingshan said quickly:

“Master Wang, a thief just came to our charity cemetery, and Master Zhan and the thief died together! We saw it with our own eyes!”

He always liked to be in the limelight, and at this moment he quickly exaggerated and recounted the entire incident, making it seem as if they had witnessed the scene together.

The apprentices around him nodded in agreement.

Zhou Boyan walked over quickly with a serious expression, but he walked towards Li Yan. Seeing that Li Yan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning tonight that Li Yan was God’s chosen one, he was immediately sent here by Yuhua Jijiu, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.

Zhou Boyan’s first reaction was that this villain was most likely coming for the Yuhua Society!
Fortunately, the Chosen One was not injured that day, otherwise he could not imagine how he would face the wrath of the priest.

Wang Liang’s face turned pale as he looked at Zhan Yupeng’s body and murmured:
“Who on earth is this thief? Master Zhan died heroically. Even though he was so badly injured, he was able to die together with this thief…”

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Boyan:

“Master, could it be that Si…”

Could it be someone from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?! Was the incident with the Yuhua Society exposed?

If the Si Tian Jian really came, they would all be executed by slow slicing! What should they do?

Zhou Boyan’s face darkened and he said grimly:
“Silence!”

Behind him, a warrior with a long sword on his back and a white beard leaned over and picked up the dagger, saying:

“This dagger is coated with poison. Judging from the style, it is not a weapon of our Great Qi. It should be the standard of Northern Yan…” The man had a pair of triangular eyes and a feminine face. Zhou Boyan looked at him respectfully.

This man is called Jiang Feng. He is the sword-carrying man of Yuhua Jijiu. It is said that he was once one of the nine boys who protected Yuhua Jijiu. However, the rest of the boys seemed to have died, leaving only this one.

In all the ceremonies of the Yuhua Society, Jiang Feng was the most crazy. Zhou Boyan once saw with his own eyes that Jiang Feng cut off his own flesh and blood, chopped it into small pieces and offered it as a sacrifice to Yuhua Zhenjun, which made him shudder.

Jiang Feng walked to the headless corpse, squatted down, put his fingers into the broken head without the skull, hooked it up with force, carefully examined the cross-section, pinched the corpse’s muscles, and said:

“This man’s flesh and blood are thick, and his blood is condensed. He must be at least a master of the fifth level of Qi and Blood. The one who killed him must be even stronger.”

Looking at the direction where the body fell, Jiang Feng continued:

“This man cut off Zhan Yupeng’s hands, and was then knocked down by another man. He turned to look at that man, and was then hit by the other man with a punch, and his head was shattered. The one who killed him was not Zhan Yupeng, but someone else.”

As he spoke, he appeared in front of Zhao Qingshan like a ghost, grabbed Zhao Qingshan’s neck and lifted him up, saying grimly:
“You lied to me?”

Zhao Qingshan felt as if his neck was tightly clamped by an iron hoop. His face instantly turned purple, and he squeezed out a few words from his throat:
“I… I didn’t see it… I was just guessing… Li Yan… Li Yan saw it first…”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Yan.

Jiang Feng looked at Li Yan with eyes as sharp as swords.

Zhou Boyan quickly whispered a few words beside him, pointing out that this was the natural chosen one that the chief priest was looking for.

Jiang Feng’s expression became even more gloomy and he walked up to Li Yan.

Without further ado, he raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder. Following the circulation of Qi and blood, he immediately discovered that there was no fluctuation of Qi and blood in Li Yan’s body, and his bones were of the worst grade.

The look he gave Li Yan was very complicated, as if there was jealousy, resentment, relief, and even some pity.

He shook his head and said:

“He doesn’t even have a sense of energy. That’s not him.”

Then he turned to look at Niu Ma and said in surprise:
“You… just broke through the second level of Qi and Blood? You’re a good candidate.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them couldn’t help but look shocked.

Especially those apprentices and Zhou Boyan who knew Niu Ma’s foundation. How many days had Niu Ma just reached the first level of Qi and Blood? Only two days, right?
Today, I have actually broken through the second level of Qi and Blood!

What kind of talent is this!?

Wang Liang on the side was even more shocked.

As the master of dissecting corpses in the charity cemetery, he is only at the second level of Qi and Blood.

This Niu Ma is now on par with him!
Village chief Zhou Boyan let out a long sigh and said:
“So, maybe this thief was being chased by someone and happened to escape to the charity cemetery, where he was spotted by Master Zhan. After a fierce battle with Master Zhan, the person who was chasing him killed him and left… Or maybe he came here with some plan, but met another master. Who could it be?”

Jiang Feng licked the blood on his fingers and said lightly:
“It smells like burning. It’s the Blazing Sun Fist.”

Zhou Boyan glared:
“Yang Jinsong!?”

Yang Jinsong, the owner of Lieyang Boxing Gym, is a seventh-level Qi and Blood expert. If it were him, it would make sense…

No matter what, Zhan Yupeng died, as long as he was chosen by God.

Jiang Feng then glanced at Li Yan and said calmly:

“Send him over immediately.”

Turn around and walk outside.

Wang Liang quickly said to Li Yan:

“Li Yan, a big shot has taken a fancy to you, why don’t you hurry up and follow him? I guarantee you will have everything you want!”

Li Yan couldn’t help but frown.

Will Yuhua fall in love with him?
Only then did Zhao Qingshan and the others realize that so many big shots had come to find Li Yan. They couldn’t help but secretly complain, wondering why they didn’t have such bad luck.

Fortunately, Zhan Yupeng is dead, and Niu Ma has lost his adoptive father. I guess he won’t be so glorious in the future, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the village head Zhou Boyan approach Niu Ma with a kind face, patted his shoulder and said:

“Niu Ma, please accept my condolences. It’s a pity that Master Zhan was unlucky and couldn’t be your adoptive father for another day… Yu Peng and I are like brothers. Since you are his orphan, you will be my adopted son in the future. From now on, I will be your adoptive father.”
