Mu Chen actually cared about the Zhao family, not because of Zhao Zhenzhen, but because the Zhao family had a good relationship with the Mu family back then.

Moreover, when the Mu family was weak, the Zhao family did not take any harm. In Mu Chen's impression, Zhao Ze, the head of the Zhao family, was not bad for him, so when he learned that the Zhao family was in trouble, he investigated it.

The cause of the incident is related to an adventure.

Zhao Ze, the head of the Zhao family, is an ordinary member of the Imperial Capital Royal Guard and was once a subordinate of Mu Yuan. However, the two are of similar age. Although they are in a superior and subordinate relationship, they are often called friends.

In addition to being responsible for the safety of royal members, the Royal Guard will also be responsible for the security of major prefectures and counties within the empire. For example, in which state or county there is a murderous devil or a powerful alien beast, the Emperor will send the Royal Guard masters in front of

Go and deal with it, after all, the Royal Guard symbolizes the top masters of the Empire.

A few years ago, Zhao Ze received a task saying that a remote city in the empire - Wufeng City, saw strange beasts appearing, killing people everywhere and slaughtering villages. Zhao Ze was ordered to go and kill.

On the way, Zhao Ze met several monks from the Hidden Sect. These monks seemed to be interested in this strange beast, so the group accompanied them.

After arriving in Wufeng City, Zhao Ze and several monks went to the deep mountains to find this strange beast. After half a month of searching, they finally found this strange beast.

However, what surprised Zhao Ze was that this strange beast was just a fifth-level strange beast - the black-armored tiger. However, this black-armored tiger mutated, its strength increased a lot, and its appearance became very ferocious, and its body was still

A lot of venom appeared, and it seemed that something was infected.

After a hard battle, everyone killed the mutated black armored tiger. At the same time, they also accidentally discovered that there was a catacomb connected to the nest of the black armored tiger. Driven by curiosity, everyone rashly entered.

.

A group of eight people went in, and only two came out in the end.

Mu Chen didn't know what was in the tomb, but only knew what Zhao Ze got and was attracted by the second prince. Then the Zhao family was made difficult by the second prince.

Because of this encounter, Zhao Ze was also related to the Hidden Sect, but Zhao Ze seemed to not want to have connections with the Hidden Sect, and the relationship between the two sides was a bit strange.

Zhao Ze could not stand the second prince's forced force, so he had no choice but to obey the second prince's instructions and asked Zhao Zhenzhen to run to Zhenshan Palace to break the engagement.

As for the reason, Mu Chen didn't find out clearly.

Afterwards, Dugu Yue came forward to temporarily save the Zhao family from the coercion of the second prince.

Now, the head of the Zhao family wants to see Mu Chen, and also wants to find a long-term backer.

After hesitating, Mu Chen said, "Okay, find some time to meet. Although the marriage has been cancelled, the relationship between the two families is good, so we should go around more."

Dugu Yue smiled and said, "No need to find time. The head of the Zhao family has been waiting outside the mansion for several days. Just ask him to come in."

In the living room of the royal palace, a middle-aged man stood in front of Mu Chen with a haggard face. This person was Zhao Ze, the head of the Zhao family, and Zhao Zhenzhen's father.

"Let's go down to Zhao Ze, see Zhenshan..."

Mu Chen quickly helped Zhao Ze up and said, "Uncle Zhao is out of here, you and my father are old friends, so you don't need these etiquettes."

"Prince, the villain is confused. He actually asked the little girl... to take someone to Nanshan County to break the engagement. This is the villain's fault. I hope the prince can forgive the little girl, and the little girl is also forced..."

"Okay, I will not pursue the past. Uncle Zhao will worry."

Being here to break off the engagement is a great humiliation. Even if Mu Chen takes his anger at the Zhao family, the Zhao family has nothing to say, but Mu Chen doesn't think so.

"Uncle Zhao, please tell me if you have something to do. Everyone here is his own people. There is no taboo. Thinking about the original relationship between Mu and Zhao, I will definitely help you if I can."

Zhao Zhenzhen suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Mu Chen and said, "Prince, Zhenzhen has no reason to beg the prince again, but the Zhao family... is really desperate. I hope the prince will help. As long as the prince is willing to take action, he is really willing to be a slave.

Be a maid and let the prince deal with it."

Mu Chen helped Zhao Zhenzhen up and said, "Everyone said that you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to do, just say it out there. There are no outsiders here, you can say anything you want."

Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Ze looked at each other, and Zhao Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Zhenzhen, let's say it all."

"Oh well."

Next, Zhao Zhenzhen told all the experiences of the Zhao family over the past few years.

Back then, the sect that entered the ancient tomb with Zhao Ze was named Qianyuan Sect, which was the most powerful righteous force in the Hidden Sect except Lei Yan Sect.

The power of the Hidden Sect is complicated. Although the Lei Yan Sect is the only one in power, there are also several first-class forces, second only to Lei Yan Sect. Qianyuan Sect is one of the more famous forces.

The ancient tomb discovered by Zhao Ze and Qianyuan Sect is the tomb of a master named the God of Life and Death.

The God of Life and Death King, who has lived his life, only to see through the mystery of life and death. After breaking through the realm of the God King, he will concentrate on enlightenment, only seeking to transcend life and death and see through reincarnation.

But the mystery of life and death is obviously not something that a cultivator in the realm of God King can touch. When he realized the truth, the God of Life and Death King was in a dying crisis because he was possessed by the devil.

When he was dying, in order to avoid the trouble of living beings, he built an ancient tomb and sealed his body in the ancient tomb.

Time flies, and after tens of millions of years, the power of the seal weakens, causing the dark energy in the ancient tomb to leak, which causes mutations of the surrounding strange beasts.

"Wait, this senior of the God King realm died if he died. Why did he build an ancient tomb to seal his body? I have heard that many masters have built many powerful ancient tombs to avoid their bodies being taken away.

These ancient tombs are all designed to prevent tomb robbers, but I have never heard of the ancient tombs used to seal their bodies."

Not only Mu Chen, but everyone else here is also very curious.

Zhao Ze smiled bitterly and said, "These... are all known from the stone tablet at the tomb. The martial arts practiced by this ancient powerful man is called the "Life and Death Sutra" and is mainly engaged in the Qi of Death - the Qi of the Death, and because

The exercises are special. Once you die, the dark energy in your body will not only not weaken, but will also continue to grow. Once the dark energy is leaked, the consequences will be very terrifying."

The secret technique used by Shui Ling Poetry, the disintegration of the Nether Water is a secret technique to summon the Nether Qi to strengthen one's own strength. In general, Nether Qi is a very dangerous force. Not to mention absorbing it, ordinary people can kill people if they encounter it. Of course

, It cannot be denied that the dark energy is indeed powerful.

"Mind Qi? So, there is a lot of Mid Qi in the ancient tomb! Then Uncle Zhao, how did you come out alive?"

Not to mention Zhao Ze, a mortal who had just broken through the Divine Martial Realm, even Mu Chen, was not sure to escape from a large amount of Nether Qi. Nether Qi is the qi of death, and even the God King could not fully control it.

"The prince doesn't know that there are actually two layers of the ancient tomb. There are very few dark energy in the first layer. As long as you don't stay for a long time, there will be no major problems. Only the lower layer will be in danger of life.

”

"Uncle Zhao, you can come out alive from the ancient tomb, but what are you getting?"
