Recently, Yu Yao could clearly detect that Shen Qing's mood swings were becoming more and more unstable, so when everyone walked out of the side room, she immediately looked at Shen Qing.

"Are you okay?"

With deep worry in her eyes, Yu Yao asked softly as they stood side by side.

Shen Qing didn't speak. He knew that he was on the verge of collapse, but he really couldn't control himself.

"If you bear with it any longer, we will get more and more fragments of Yuan Ji. And through the recent integration, don't we all see hope? You can't collapse at this time."

Yu Yao's soft words made Shen Qing calm down a little.

Yes, as more and more fragments were interpreted, they found that those fragments seemed to have some connection with the Death Seal. It was probably the Kuchan Hegemony that Kuchan had mentioned at that time, and Kuchan himself also

Zeng Wuxin said that the Seal of Death is a branch of this method.

In other words, maybe it won't be long before they find a way to remove the dead mark.

However, Shen Qing really doesn't know if he can survive until that time!

He is not a fragile person, on the contrary, he is much tougher than ordinary people. The most important reason why he is like this is because Ku Chan did it deliberately!

This evil beast wants to destroy Shen Qing through psychological torture and reduce Shen Qing to a puppet who has lost his mind and can only obey orders!

So since he came back last time, he has killed children almost every day in front of Shen Qing, implanted the withered seal into the children's bodies that even the Danhe monks couldn't bear, and then released the power little by little, so that the children were not even full moon, let alone

The children roaring and venting their anger made a horrifying sound that was extremely painful.

With this kind of demonic sound filling his ears, Shen Qing's mind has become increasingly unconscious, and his eyes are filled with nothing but hatred!

As if feeling that her comfort had some effect, Yu Yao hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her bare hand and held Shen Qing's hand tightly.

Somehow, Shen Qing's heart filled with violence fell into calmness. He turned his head and glanced at Yu Yao, his eyes no longer so scary.

"Hold on, we don't have the strength to kill him right now, so once you are swallowed up by hatred, you will be more easily controlled by him." Yu Yao continued to enlighten, "You will even become a person worse than Pang Qing.

."

Shen Qing nodded, squeezed Yu Yao's hand tightly, and immediately walked into the main hall.

Ku Chan, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, still looked like a "virtuous man", but today he did not close his eyes and speak in a pretentious manner, but opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Qing.

In his eyes, there was a hint of ridicule, contempt, and a hint of conspiracy.

"Haha, Shen Qing, do you know where I went out some time ago?"

Shen Qing didn't say anything, and didn't even look at him, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to restrain his anger.

Kuchan didn't care and continued to smile: "I went to your hometown. Speaking of which, you haven't been back for some time. Today is the festival, why don't you go back and have a look?"

Shen Qing frowned. He didn't believe that the old thief could have such good intentions, but he couldn't figure out what his intentions were.

"Hey, don't think too much about it. Didn't the Zhao family promise me to donate 500,000 yuan of stone? You can just collect it for me when you go back this time. Okay, I can only give you three days. Go back as soon as possible.

."

"Oh, by the way, I almost made a mistake. Now it's not half a million, but one million."

With an unsettling smile on his lips, Ku Chan waved his sleeves and left the main hall.

Is it just to collect offerings?

Things are obviously not that simple. First, how could the Zhao family obtain so many multi-stones so quickly, and why did the 500,000 yuan suddenly increase to 1 million!

Secondly, with Ku Chan’s nature, we can never let him breathe for three days at the critical moment when he is about to collapse!

On the way, Shen Qing kept thinking about this problem, but couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Three days certainly did not count the effort of walking back and forth. About nine days later, Shen Qing finally appeared in the realm of Qinglu Dao again. Looking at everything familiar in front of him, he felt quite moved in his heart.

He did not choose to go back to the Shen family directly, because those people were eagerly waiting for the return of their young master.

If he went back in such a mess, he was afraid that it would destroy the hope of his people.

After walking around the town for a few times with the bamboo hat, news came one after another. Shen Qing's heart continued to sink, and she finally understood Ku Chan's intention.

It turned out that what he had been worried about had indeed happened, and the Zhao family had indeed launched a desperate counterattack against the Shen family with a desperate mentality.

But this was nothing originally. The Shen family had a lot of help, and Shen Ba tried his best to win people's hearts, so the Zhao family's attack was not very effective.

However, just some time ago, Ku Chan came to Qinglu Road again and stood by the Zhao family!

Because they had seen his cruelty and surliness, all the major forces turned from supporting the Shen family to being neutral one after another. Shen Ba was even scared to death by Ku Chan's few words. Those who betrayed his ancestors defined the family as a force affiliated with the Zhao family. All resources and personnel are managed by the Zhao family!

The Fourth Grand Duke was seriously injured. Hearing the news, he couldn't get out of bed for several days!

And the Zhao family's situation, which was already on the verge of defeat, turned around overnight!

"Alas, the dignified Shen family, once the overlord of Qinglu Road, has fallen into this kind of situation." One of the two diners who had just come out of the wine shop on the roadside sighed.

"Yes, a cousin of mine is an errand in the Shen family. I heard from him that everyone in the Shen family is living worse than a dog now, and they are bullied by the Zhao family every day. Although they don't dare to do anything too extreme in order to prevent the Zhao family from being ruined. , but think about it, are you feeling aggrieved by being shouted at by the enemy all day long?"

"Then your cousin is still staying at the Shen family?"

"How could that be possible? Didn't he just resign some time ago? There are several others with him, all of whom are at the enshrinement level!"

While chatting, the two gradually walked away, and Shen Qing stopped where he was, as if he was sluggish.

He had been wandering around the town for several hours and heard almost all such news, none of which was beneficial to the family.

He finally understood that it was no wonder that Ku Chan let him come back. This evil creature wanted to further aggravate his collapse!

The family has become a vassal of the enemy, and the priests and priests have left one after another. It can be said that internal and external troubles have reached the extreme!

Unfortunately, I was trapped in the mountains with thieves. What a torment it was!

"Haha, old Kuchan dog, I can't fight you, but you can't control me anymore. Since you let me back, I will kill the Zhao family. Even if I die, I will still do my part for the family!"

The anger is rising, and hatred has completely swallowed up Shen Qing's emotions, but after all, he still has a glimmer of clarity and will never let the thieves get what they want.

After taking a look at the family from a distance, Shen Qing went straight to the Zhao Garden without looking back. With his current strength approaching the Fourth Dan River, although he could not kill the three pillars of the Zhao family, he could still kill some more guards and lackeys.

However.

The Zhao family seemed to know that he was coming. Zhao Ruli had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the magnificent garden.

"Haha, Master Shen, after seeing each other for a few days, your style remains the same." Zhao Ruli said with a sarcastic face.

Shen Qing's heart was on fire, and an extreme sadness surged into his heart. It seemed that Ku Chan had already anticipated everything. With Zhao Ruli from the early stage of Danhai sitting in front of his house, he didn't even have the chance to break in and kill a few guards!

"What's Mr. Shen's expression like? Why does he seem so miserable? Hey, people are here for a long time. If you have anything to do, you have to think about it. Look at our Zhao family, it was almost going to collapse. Let's not say it's going to turn around.

Well, I couldn't even imagine it, hahahaha!"

Zhao Ruli ridiculed her repeatedly, each sentence piercing Shen Qing's heart.

"You, go to hell!"

In the silence, Shen Qing burst out, willing to fight to the death with all his strength, but what was even sadder was that as soon as the vitality breath surged, the deathly aura swallowed him up.

Plop!

Weakness struck him and he fell down.

"Young Master Shen, let's stop making trouble and hurry up and take the yuan ticket back to follow the others. What's the point of you staring at me here with red eyebrows? After all, time is also luck. Who can think of how things will change in the blink of an eye?

, your master has returned to our Zhao family again?"

Zhao Ruli looked at him like he was looking down at an ant, and continued to joke, "Oh, by the way, you must be curious about how I collected such an amount of yuan notes in a short period of time, right? It's very simple, as long as you guys

All the Shen family's ore farms, forestry farms, and business road management rights can be transferred to other forces."

"Hmm! I almost forgot to mention that the deadline is three hundred years, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sell it for such a high total price."

After saying that, Zhao Ruli laughed loudly and walked into the garden with great satisfaction.

It started to rain lightly in the sky, and the autumn wind was cold. Shen Qing fell in front of Zhao's house in despair, feeling as if she was dead.

The whole family's inheritance, three hundred years!

What does this mean? It means that the Shen family will never be able to stand up again!

The heroic words that he used to help his father revive the family are now a big joke when he thinks about it. The family is still in his own hands after all!

Do you want to accept your fate? From now on, you will be a dog next to Ku Chan, abandon your own humanity, join in the same trend with him, and then live a life of giving grief to others with your own hands every day. Think about it, wouldn't it be a happy life?

very?

At that moment, Shen Qing's psychological defense was just a hair away from completely collapsing.

But suddenly he saw an ant working hard to move.

Even though every raindrop is an extremely heavy blow to it, it still fights tenaciously and never gives up.

If you are an ant like this, how can you, a dignified man, give up on yourself!

Although the aura of death was still lingering around his body, Shen Qing stood up straight, with a radiant look in his eyes again!

His mood was no longer guided by hostility, and his thinking became much clearer. He thought that Ku Chan had calculated everything, but he would never have known him to know the big boss of the Tiandao Chamber of Commerce!

Now that I have the yuan ticket in hand, I can give it to Qi Shuang to make a copy. Anyway, there are only a few days left before the end of the month, so Ku Chan shouldn't notice.
Chapter completed!
