Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 862 - 797: The So-Called Path of Calamity

Zhang San sat on the ground and thought for a while.

But the sudden calamity left Zhang San’s mind a bit confused at this moment.

Especially the matter of seeing the future World Lord.

This matter, Zhang San dared not tell anyone.

But Zhang San already had a very ominous feeling.

Something is going to happen in this world, and it’s going to be something big!

Yet, he had no way to warn anyone.

He couldn’t possibly run to tell Kaihuang that his son was going to fall, and the Li Family would rise!

He also couldn’t run to tell Li Wude and his family that they were about to rise!

Damn it!

Just then, Ximen Jinlian, who was healing not far away, stood up and walked towards Zhang San.

"This time, it’s been a pleasant cooperation!"

Zhang San always felt that Ximen Jinlian was digging a pit for him.

"After all, we have a common enemy, the Outer God beyond this world. Cooperation might become an inevitability one day in the future."

Ximen Jinlian ignored Zhang San’s remark and instead asked, "Where have my grandfather and sister gone?"

"They should be on the northern prairie, but I’m not completely sure where. After all, the less I know, the safer they are. Though Kaihuang claimed to have pardoned your family, I don’t think the Principal Officer Ximen will return."

Ximen Jinlian knew her family was in the north. She nodded slightly, then turned around, ready to leave.

Zhang San also stood up from the ground and asked towards Ximen Jinlian’s back, "If the Path of Calamity still intends to strike against Great Sui in the future, I’ve already thought of a way to deal with the Path of Calamity. So, have you considered rejoining the side of Great Sui?"

Upon hearing this, Ximen Jinlian halted her steps and sneered.

"Calamity is calamity, that has never changed. Moreover..."

Ximen Jinlian couldn’t help but think of things she realized after encountering other Calamities recently, and continued walking away.

"Zhang San, remember. The so-called Path of Calamity is three parts heavenly disaster and seven parts human calamity. If your Town Martial Office has the ability, you could investigate all the abilities of the Calamities, and you would discover that the true bringers of disaster are never us, but your own Imperial Path."

Leaving such a sentence, Ximen Jinlian walked out of the cave.

Beside him, Hu asked Zhang San, "Aren’t you going to seize the opportunity to take her down? After all, she’s an Upper Heaven Calamity and she’s injured now. This is definitely one of the best opportunities."

Zhang San shook his head with a bitter smile.

He naturally knew that just now was the best opportunity to make a move.

But Zhang San also knew that, even if she was now a Calamity of the Path of Calamity, deep down, she was still the young daughter of the Principal Officer Ximen.

The Principal Officer Ximen had graced him, and Ximen Jinxing had been kind to him. He couldn’t bring himself to take advantage of her injury to attack.

"With the battle here concluded, next we’ll wait for news from the Thousand-Eyed Rat King."

Zhang San glanced at the people around him, then pulled Wang Ziteng, who had been scared stiff, up from the corner of the wall.

Wang Ziteng hadn’t dared to join from the start.

But it wasn’t because Wang Ziteng lacked courage.

Wang Ziteng knew his limitations.

Wang Ziteng believed his strength wasn’t much greater than that of Baili Niezhen beside Zhang San.

The result was that Baili Niezhen was blown away upon going up, only struggling to get up from the ground just now.

What do I add?

Get stronger!

At first, I thought I was a stand-in, so I needed to get stronger and started working hard.

But after arriving at the Capital, as he gained higher status in the Town Martial Office and Zhang San helped him gain higher renown within the Wang Family, Wang Ziteng often felt he was actually already the true prodigy of the Wang Family.

But at this moment, Wang Ziteng realized he was not truly a prodigy.

He was just a shield.

One day, the prodigy of the Wang Family would find a way to replace him, perhaps even stepping on him to ascend to higher ground.

"Zhang San, once I return, I’ll start closed-door cultivation! I must get stronger!"

At this moment, Zhang San saw an unprecedented determination in Wang Ziteng’s eyes.

Zhang San patted Wang Ziteng’s shoulder and said softly, "Let’s work hard together!"

Wang Ziteng, puzzled, said, "Brother San, you can participate in battles of this level and still work so hard? I must learn from you."

Zhang San glanced at the Spear now shrunken to key size hanging at his waist and remained silent.

After all, he was wielding an upper demon in his hand!

Otherwise, Zhang San truly felt that if he were to participate in this kind of battle, he wouldn’t even be able to break through Yan Liu’s defenses.

But the only consolation was that when he saw the Great Merciful Tree King take action earlier, even she couldn’t break through.

Exiting the cave, Zhang San discovered the five clan leaders of the Northeast Five Immortal Clans waiting for him outside.

Meanwhile, some rat demons under the Thousand-Eyed Rat King were discussing how to contact them afterwards.

After all, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King had led many rat demons in pursuit of the three cubs’ whereabouts.

At this time, a rat demon walked over to Zhang San.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, our Rat King said that once there’s any intelligence about those three cubs, we’ll contact you immediately. So please stay in Longyou Road and don’t rush to leave for a while."

Zhang San frowned and said softly, "I might have to make a trip to the north later, temporarily leaving Longyou Road, but I won’t be gone long. If there is news during this time, contact Wang Ziteng through the back door at the Town Demon Office’s base, or reach out to Garrison Commander Li Shangfa at Julong Pass. They will go all out to help."

"Right! Thank you, Deputy Chief Zhang."

Afterwards, Zhang San bade farewell to several other Great Demons.

Niu Mo felt the peril of this battle, so decided to first return to inform his wife and the Jade-Faced Fox.

And the other upper demons mostly planned to return as well, to prepare the other demons they knew. After all, this world might soon face a great crisis.

Zhang San, along with Hu and Roe Deer at his side and the five elders of the Northeast Five Immortal Clans, headed towards the direction of Julong Pass.

But just as they hadn’t gone far, a massive demon, over three zhang tall like a small mountain, suddenly jumped out, blocking Zhang San and others’ path.

"Are you the human Zhang San?"

Zhang San looked at the other with confusion and asked, "I am. And you are?"

"Hahahaha... I’m here to kill you! Once you’re dead, I can collect the bounty from the North Wind Wolf King. In the future, when he becomes the Master of All Things, I can become an upper demon! So, human Zhang San, give me your life!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around became speechless.

To be honest, Zhang San really didn’t want to bother with such a fool.

After all, there’s really no point in arguing with a fool.

But Zhang San still reached for the Mo Blade at his waist and slashed out.

With a sound of "pfft".

The enormous demon was directly split in two, falling to the left and right.

After hitting the ground heavily, fresh blood gushed out.

"Though I know I should act reasonably, today my mood isn’t great, so, sorry."

At this time, the clan leader in yellow behind Hu said softly, "Hu, try to delay Xiang’s marriage a bit when you get back, okay?"

"Ah? Weren’t you going to celebrate?"

The clan leader in yellow said softly, "I feel Zhang San is a bit different. It’s like he’s missing something, but I can’t pinpoint what it is. Just that now, he’s different from before we went to see Yan Liu. It seems something is missing, though I can’t say what, I can feel, it definitely is!"
