"Don't say anything!"
Yang Tian did not expect that yesterday he would operate the Spirit Array to master the Imprisonment Array on Chen Zheng.
Originally, he thought this would have saved Chen Zheng.
Who would have thought that Chen Zheng would still end up in trouble?
Yang Tian stepped forward, activated his Spiritual Breath, driving the Spirit Array within him.
This Spirit Array could master and control other arrays, and it was promptly executed, targeting Chen Zheng.
The Spirit Array quickly took control of Chen Zheng's body.
However, what made Yang Tian frown was that no matter how he executed it, he couldn't trigger the array on Chen Zheng.
In the past, Chen Zheng was bounded by the Imprisonment Array.
But now, Yang Tian could no longer sense this array.
He knew then that Chen Zheng was truly dying.
Chen Zheng, along with his Imprisonment Array, was about to vanish.
For a moment, Yang Tian's face turned grave.
"Yang Tian, can't you save him?" Wang Ying looked intently at Yang Tian. "Chen Zheng is a crucial figure, he might really be your father, hurry and think of a way to save him..."
Yang Tian said nothing, but his expression was extremely serious.
He channeled his Spiritual Breath into Chen Zheng's body, but regardless of what he tried, he couldn't stop the loss of Chen Zheng's life force.
"Yang Tian... my son... it's useless..."
As Chen Zheng spoke, he broke into a violent cough.
Yang Tian's expression became even graver.
Indeed, as Chen Zheng said, using arrays or Spiritual Breath was of little effect.
"Five years ago, I was already destined to die. They trapped me here just to let me hold on to my last breath..."
Chen Zheng seemed like he was experiencing a moment of lucidity.
In mid-air, his head was floating, appearing quite eerie.
"Don't say anything more!"
Yang Tian could clearly sense the last of Chen Zheng's life ebbing away.
"Yang Tian... I don't know if you are truly my son... but if your mother is a woman named Meng Bingyun, then you are my son... Yang Tian, what is your mother's name?"
Chen Zheng raised his head, looking intently at Yang Tian.
On the surface, Yang Tian appeared calm, but it was somewhat forced, and internally, he felt quite uncomfortable.
Because his mother was indeed Meng Bingyun.
But he didn't want to acknowledge this so-called father in front of him.
Over twenty years ago, when his mother died, where was this so-called father?
Growing up, he was always cursed as a pitiful orphan; who stood behind him?
All of it made Yang Tian reluctant to acknowledge Chen Zheng's existence.
"I don't know what my mother's name is, because she had already passed away when I was born..."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"You must be my son, there can be no mistake!"
Chen Zheng insisted firmly.
"The possibility is low! Many people in this world look alike!"
Yang Tian stated expressionlessly.
"Heh heh!" Chen Zheng let out a bitter laugh. "Yang Tian, my son, can't you call me father even until I die?"
Yang Tian was very calm, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Zheng sighed again and said, "Yang Tian, whether you forgive me or not, I still ask you to return to the Chen Family... The Chen Family really needs you... Please agree to this no matter what... Can you?"
Yang Tian frowned: "Even if I return, it won't do much, because I'm not a descendant of the Chen Family!"
"Sigh..."
Chen Zheng let out a long sigh, glancing at Yang Tian, he said, "Yang Tian... I have a relic for you... It's full of important things... It's under the stone chamber where I was before... After you get it, leave here immediately... Don't let the Dark Organization know about this relic..."
After saying his last words, Chen Zheng's head completely disappeared.
Everything returned to silence once more.
Yang Tian stood there quietly, saying nothing.
He also knew that five years ago, Chen Zheng was already dead, just lingering on with his last breath.
Neither arrays nor Spiritual Breath could save Chen Zheng.
Yang Tian had done his best.
He shook his head, driving away all distractions from his mind, he activated his Spiritual Breath, using it on his palm, splitting a nearby stone into a tombstone.
Afterwards, he dipped it in blood and erected it as a gravestone.
After doing all of this, he activated his Spiritual Breath, sealing the entire gravestone.
"Big brother..."
Wei Leng, He Shang, and Hao Ren approached.
"Let's first check the stone chamber where Chen Zheng was held..."
Yang Tian said, leading everyone towards the dungeon.
Meanwhile, Ling Ying looked at Yang Tian, wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing, only letting out a gentle sigh.
Everyone headed towards the dungeon.
Upon reaching the stone chamber, Yang Tian activated the X-ray Vision Technique to probe inside.
Indeed, underneath the stone chamber, there was a small box.
The box was the size of a soccer ball.
Yang Tian shattered the stone slab and retrieved the small box, but he did not open it immediately; instead, he put it away according to Chen Zheng's instructions, planning to examine it slowly after leaving.
"Yang..."
Ling Ying stepped forward, wanting to say something but held back.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Tian looked at Ling Ying with confusion.
Since Ling Ying's body was taken over by Poison Rose, she had remained silent, unclear about what she was thinking.
"Perhaps it's better to leave the box here, don't take it with us..."
Ling Ying said.
Being part of the Dark Organization, she could somewhat ascertain what was inside the box. If Yang Tian really took it out, he would surely be in great danger...
At that moment, the entire Dark Organization would swarm in to kill.
The things inside the box were anything but simple.
"Why do you say that?"
Yang Tian frowned.
"It's nothing... If we take it out, let's leave here now..."
Ling Ying hastily said.
"Hmm..."
Yang Tian nodded, called everyone, and started heading out.
But he didn't notice the flicker of hesitation in Ling Ying's eyes behind him.
Following Poison Rose's orders, Ling Ying had to act today to kill Yang Tian.
If she failed, Poison Rose would kill her biological parents.
But killing someone she's developed feelings for, how could she easily do that?
Thinking of this, Ling Ying became even more conflicted and hesitant.
Throughout the journey, Ling Ying was struggling.
Finally, when they reached the cave entrance, Ling Ying spoke up: "Yang, I need to talk to you about something..."
"What is it?"
Yang Tian approached her, seeing Ling Ying enter the stone chamber, he quickly followed her inside.
"Yang... I have a request for you..." Ling Ying looked at Yang Tian with a pale face: "After I die, please protect my parents no matter what, they are controlled by Poison Rose, using their lives to threaten me..."
Hearing this, Yang Tian quickly embraced Ling Ying: "Ling Ying, I don't know what's happened, but please trust me, I won't let you die, nor let anything happen to your parents! You are my woman, if there's pain or trouble, I will definitely help you resolve it, please believe in me..."
"But Poison Rose is terrifying..."
"No matter how terrifying Poison Rose is, no matter how powerful the Dark Organization is, I will protect you!"
