Chapter 445 Past
Tian Zhenzhen handed the bead in her hand to Hai Zhu, wanting to ask him if he recognized what material it was made of.
After all, the Pig is a high-ranking member of the Dragon Group, so he should have a lot of experience.
The Pig was also very interested in this. After taking it, he examined it carefully, running his fingers over the surface of the bead.
They tried some methods to test it, but his results were obviously the same as Tian Zhenzhen's.
They gained nothing.
"I can't tell what material this thing is made of, but it's precisely because I can't tell anything about it that it seems rather special."
This is something that Master Qingyi left on Tang Yifeng; perhaps this is what the other party is looking for.
It's just that this bead is rather inconspicuous, so the Iron Fist Society members didn't notice it yesterday.
This suggests that Taichu Temple may not have known what the patriarch of Jingyun Temple had taken away, or perhaps he only knew how to use it but did not know what it looked like.
Of course, all of this is just my speculation; perhaps there are hidden secrets within.
The Pig thought about it a lot and said everything he had thought of.
He stroked the beads a few times, then without any hesitation, handed them back to Tian Zhenzhen.
Although this bead may be related to the martial arts immortal's legacy, the Pig is an extremely cautious person, and this thing is clearly not so easy to obtain.
Perhaps through Tian Zhenzhen, he could still get a glimpse of the truth.
After Tian Zhenzhen took it, she said to Tang Yifeng:
"You should wear this for now. We'll find out if it's the right thing by observing their reactions."
"They can only act easily if the item is on you."
Tian Zhenzhen tossed the bead to Tang Yifeng. Tang Yifeng, who had never thought of it before, suddenly felt that the bead had become a hot potato.
If he really came for this bead, wouldn't his weakness make him a coveted prize, someone others would fight over?
If this isn't handled properly, he might lose his life.
"Boss, your subordinate, Senior Daqiang, is so powerful. Why don't you let Senior Daqiang keep it safe for now?"
Don't blame him for being such a coward, he's just a male college student.
Knowing that such a group of capable people were keeping an eye on him, how could he feel at ease?
It's as if what he's holding in his hand isn't a bead, but a venomous snake that could devour him at any moment, making him feel terrified.
"Didn't Master Qingyi say that wearing this bead would make you healthy?"
This is also for your own good, or perhaps you don't trust us to protect you.
Seeing that Tang Yifeng was so timid, Tian Zhenzhen teased him.
"I don't mean to doubt you by helping me, I'm just a little scared."
I'm in good health right now, boss, why don't you just take me?
"I'm easily frightened," Tang Yifeng said pitifully, trying to gain sympathy from Tian Zhenzhen.
"I'll help you, will you listen to me or not?"
"Yes, I will. I will do whatever the leader tells me to do."
"That's good. Then wear it carefully. We'll be able to see Master Qingyi soon, and then you can return it to its rightful owner."
Or are you afraid of this short distance, or do you not trust me to protect you?
Finally, under Tian Zhenzhen's verbal pressure, Tang Yifeng had no choice but to compromise and put the pendant back on his neck.
He held the bead up to his eyes and examined it closely, and then many images flashed through his mind.
I suddenly remembered when I was a child, I was sick and almost didn't make it back. In the end, it was Master Qingyi who found the necklace that I had lost somewhere.
Strangely enough, after wearing the necklace, his long-standing illness was cured the very next day.
Therefore, his father kept telling him to wear the bead properly in the future, and even specially made a chain for him to ensure that it would never fall off.
Childhood memories flashed by; he felt something, yet couldn't grasp anything, so in the end, he said nothing.
Jiuhua Mountain is located in a remote area, and after driving for a while, the vehicle entered the mountain road.
At first, the mountain road was quite smooth, the road surface was very well repaired, and the snow on the road was not slippery.
After passing this smooth stretch of road, the road became increasingly remote, and no other vehicles could be seen.
Eventually, it disappeared into an unrepaired dirt road.
The road was full of potholes, and if it weren't for the fact that Tian Zhenzhen and her team's vehicle had good performance and a high chassis, they would have been able to make it much easier.
Such a mountain road would probably be difficult to traverse.
Even so, the people in the car were not very comfortable.
The road was bumpy, and the slippery roads due to snow meant the vehicles weren't traveling very fast.
Tian Zhenzhen, who had been passing the time by playing mobile games along the way, felt dizzy and couldn't play any longer; her eyes were getting blurry.
Feeling discomfort in my eyes, I could only put my phone away and look out the window.
And you know what? Few people venture here; even the roads haven't been repaired, which matches the pristine scenery.
At first glance, the tall trees were covered with snow and frost, shimmering with a moist luster. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of silver and white.
The scenery was truly beautiful, and Tian Zhenzhen couldn't help but pick up her phone again to capture the view.
This spacious environment is so refreshing.
She raised her phone to take a picture when she noticed a dot in the video moving closer and closer to her phone's camera lens.
Just as Tian Zhenzhen was staring at the screen, wondering what it was, the sound reached her ears first.
It was the sound of gunfire.
Without Tian Zhenzhen having to do anything, an energy fluctuation directly blocked the sniper bullets that were about to hit their vehicle.
The bullet was suddenly stopped, and upon closer inspection, one could see that it was still spinning. The cold, metallic sound emanating from the bullet seemed to be trying to penetrate all obstacles in its target line.
A moment later, the bullet turned around and quickly retreated along its original trajectory.
In the distance, amidst a blanket of white snow, a patch of bright red was visible.
The Pig also noticed something was wrong and soon saw what was happening outside the window.
“Miss Tian, it seems this journey will not be peaceful. This action should be a warning.”
For martial artists, guns have limited lethality.
Once a martial artist's cultivation reaches the Innate Realm, the power of a gun will hardly be able to harm them.
The other party using a gun was clearly just a warning and a test.
However, it was Tian Zhenzhen and her group that arrived.
They are not pigs or sheep to be slaughtered, but the biggest bosses lurking in the shadows.
I don’t know if they only assigned one person, but after the other side fired a shot, they drove on for a while without anyone stopping them.
However, everyone knows that this journey will not be peaceful.
They came in three cars. Tan Zhentian and Zishu led the way with several members of the Dragon Group.
In the middle is Tian Zhenzhen's vehicle, and behind it is another vehicle, also belonging to members of the Dragon Group.
Although that shot was aimed at the vehicle where Tian Zhenzhen and the others were, people in the vehicles in front and behind noticed it.
"These idiots really know how to pick their opponents; they immediately chose the most powerful one."
Tan Zhentian, with a cigarette dangling from his lips but not lit, spoke with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Yes, Tan has entered the process of quitting smoking again. He finally managed to quit, but yesterday he smoked several packs, and his cravings kicked in again.
He's in a bad mood right now, and if anyone else shows up without thinking, don't blame him for teaching them a lesson.
"This journey may not be peaceful. Don't argue with me later, Chenlong. I still want to make a good impression on Miss Tian."
You wouldn't believe it, this Miss Tian looks harmless, but when she's staring at me, damn it, I always have a feeling that my life is in danger.
Don't make a move later, let me perform well.
Perhaps Miss Tian will stop looking at me coldly after seeing how much effort I've put in.
Zishu's words were very clear: he would take charge later.
"Okay, okay, just don't get beaten up, that would be so embarrassing."
Seeing that Zishu was trying to curry favor, Tan Zhentian was happy to watch the show.
He tucked the cigarette from his mouth behind his ear, then took out a piece of chewing gum and started chewing.
Surprisingly, apart from the warning shot fired earlier, the rest of the journey went smoothly.
However, none of them relaxed. They did not take action on the way, probably because a bigger conspiracy was waiting for them.
