The night was as black as ink, at Chen Jia Village, on the martial arts training ground, there were hundreds of people gathered around a dozen torches.

  The gate is open.

  The Hei Jia Jun guards all entered the training grounds, Teng Qing Shan was the first to dismount his horse, Qing Yu followed closely behind him.

  "Grandfather." Teng Qing Shan was the first to rush to his grandfather's side, Teng Yun Long.

  "Come with me, Qing Shan, Qing Yu." Teng Yunlong grabbed Teng Qing Shan's arm and headed towards the Teng family home. "Your mother is ill, she's resting at home."

  "Is she ill?" Teng Qing Shan felt that the atmosphere was not right when he entered the mansion, and upon hearing that his mother was ill, he had a bad premonition. Thinking about what might happen... Teng Qing Shan's heart ached, his head throbbing with pain. No, this kind of thing... absolutely cannot happen! And it absolutely will not happen!

  Walking on the way home.

  "Grandfather, is Father okay?" Teng Qing Shan still didn't want to believe his own conjecture. The conjecture was rational, but emotionally he didn't want to accept it.

  "Grandfather." Qing Yu also looked at Tan Yunlong.

  Hongyun Long stopped, turned his head to look at Qing Shan and Qing Yu, hesitated slightly, and said: "Your father and the others were taken away by Qinghu Island, I suppose you found out from Yong Lei. And just this evening, Qing Hao has returned!"

  "Has Qinghao Ge come back? Where's my dad?" Qingyu asked repeatedly.

  "Qing Hao said that at dusk, Qing Hu Island ordered the killing of all hunters! At that time, Yong Xiang struggled and threw Qing Hao out. And Yong Xiang was killed at that time... As for your father, Yong Fan. Yong Fan was surrounded by a group of Silver Python Army soldiers at that time. Qing Hao didn't see Yong Fan's death with his own eyes." Teng Yun Long said.

  "Dad..."

  Qing Yu's face turned pale, and tears began flowing down her cheeks instantly.

  Hong Qing Shan's body swayed slightly, he supported his head with his hands, closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a long time, revealing a pair of eyes that were faintly red.

  "My father, he still hasn't come back yet?" Tan Qing Shan said in a low voice.

  Teng Qing Shan was well aware of the strength of the Silver Dragon Military and his father's strength. He could fully imagine the situation at that time, and the possibility of his father escaping with his life was zero! If his father had really escaped, Qing Hao would have returned to the manor by evening. His father should have returned to the manor by now, even if he was late.

  "He didn't come back," said Teng Yunlong.

  "Didn't come back?" Teng Qing Shan's heart was racing with anxiety, and a blue vein bulged out on his forehead.

  There was such a moment——

  Heng Qing's mind was completely blank!

  "Is Father dead?" Teng Qing Shan's face was twisted in agony as he subconsciously clenched his fists against his temples, his entire body trembling slightly.

  It is only when we lose something that we realize its true value.

  Teng Qing Shan had no parents in his past life, he was an orphan! So, in this life, he cherished his parents even more. He listened to them very well and enjoyed the warmth of their care... This is something he didn't have in his past life. This is his most precious treasure in this life!

  Dad! Mom!

  Hong Qingshan made a vow when he was very young, to protect his parents well, to let his parents live a good life, and to make his parents proud of him!

  So, the gangs in Yicheng, even if they bully Tengjiazhuang, Teng Qingshan is angry, but he endures it and doesn't take action. It's for his parents, and for this warm clan! To prevent his parents from being endangered by his recklessness! As for those bandits, if they threaten the clan, they will secretly take action... If they take action, they must kill! Absolutely do not implicate the clan!

  Kill Hong Siye!

  Kill the white horse and the people in the camp!

  It's all the same!

  No one can harm their own parents, no!

  "I won't allow it, I won't permit it! No one is allowed to harm my parents, no matter who they are!" Teng Qing Shan's forehead bulged with blue veins, in his entire life, from birth till now, Teng Qing Shan had never been so furious. The flames of fury had already eroded Teng Qing Shan's rationality, a strong killing intent rising from the bottom of his heart...

  Kill them!

  Kill them!

  Kill everyone!

  These voices are constantly raging in my mind! Stirring up waves of anger!

  "Qinghu Island, Qinghu Island!!!" Teng Qing Shan's gaze was like a starving lone wolf, more terrifying than ever before.

  Beside him, Teng Yunlong saw Teng Qingshan's eyes turn red, his forehead bulging with blue veins, and the crazy killing intent in his eyes made people's hearts tremble. He couldn't help but shout: "Qingshan, Qingshan!"

  "Grandfather." Teng Qing Shan looked at his grandfather, and as someone who had undergone assassin training, he rarely lost control of his emotions unless his weak points were truly struck. Just now, however, he had indeed lost control. Of course, after realizing it, Teng Qing Shan quickly suppressed the flames of anger that had reached the heavens, repressing them deep within his heart!

  Anger! Not for show to loved ones! But rather, punishment inflicted on enemies!

  "Green rain, don't cry." Teng Yunlong held his granddaughter's hand, "Let's go see your mother. Remember, don't cry and comfort your mother well, got it?"

  "Mm." Qing Yu nodded tearfully.

  Hong Qingshan also nodded silently, he was very clear... how deep the feelings between his mother and father were, when his father got into trouble, the one who suffered the most was probably his mother.

  ……

  Familiar courtyard, familiar hall.

  "Wait a moment, comfort your mother well." Teng Yunlong said, and then pushed open the door.

  "Ouch!"

  The door opened, and the dim light of the oil lamp in the side room shone on a woman wearing a red padded jacket sitting beside the bed, taking care of Yuan Lan lying on the bed. Teng Qing Shan and his sister walked into the side room.

  As soon as Teng Qing Shan saw his mother's appearance, he felt a pang in his heart.

  Her face was pale, her lips were white, and there was still a faint sweat on her forehead. Her hair also had quite a few white hairs. It's been half a year since I last saw my mother. But...my mother suddenly looked much older.

  "Mother." Qing Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.

  Yuan Lan's eyebrows moved slightly as she lay in bed, and she slowly opened her eyes to see a pair of children in the room. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand, opening her dry lips: "Qing Shan, Qing Yu." Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Yu immediately went to her bedside, holding their mother's hands, Yuan Lan looked at this pair of children, looking again and again...

  "Cough, cough..." Suddenly, Yuan Lan started coughing, and her face also showed a sickly flush.

  "Sister." Qing Yu was greatly shocked.

  Hong Qingshan immediately took out the wine gourd from the package behind him: "Grandfather, bring a wine cup."

  "Good." Teng Yunlong didn't understand, but still went to the main room and brought out a wine cup, handing it to Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan immediately poured half a cup of Zhu fruit wine.

  "Drink it, daughter," said Ceng Qing Shan.

  Yuan Lan looked at her son, a faint smile on her pale face, and then drank the remaining half cup of Zhū Guǒ wine. The Zhū Guǒ wine was not very potent and did no harm to the body. However, Cui Qing Shan worried that his mother was too weak, if she didn't receive nourishment it would be terrible. So, he told her to drink a little less.

  Only Yuan Lan's face was seen, and soon it became rosy, even her yellow hair turned black, and the whole person seemed to be much younger.

  "Ah, much better." Yuan Lan forced a faint smile.

  "Mother..." Teng Qing Shan's heart felt bitter.

  He found that his mother's complexion had improved, indeed, after drinking the jujube wine her physical condition had improved. However... a heart disease is hard to cure! Seeing his mother's dim and almost desperate eyes, Teng Qing Shan understood this point! Even if one were an extremely powerful strongman, once they became despondent their vitality would wither away and they would quickly die.

  Jing Qi Shen, actually, a person's "Shen" is the most important.

  When the spirit is scattered, one dies.

  The wine of mulberries changes its nature, but the mother's heart is already worn out with grief.

  "I'm glad to see you all." Yuan Lan forced a smile and said, "But Qing Shan... Mother has no other wishes now, just hoping that your father's body can come back. Thinking of your father being exposed in the wilderness, eaten by wild beasts, makes mother anxious... But mother is helpless." Yuan Lan's tears flowed out.

  "Uh-huh, I'll definitely bring Father's body back." Teng Qing Shan nodded repeatedly, tears blurring his eyes.

  ……

  Next to the courtyard, inside the room where Teng Qing Shan used to live.

  Teng Qing Shan and Teng Yun Long are inside.

  "Teng's mother is in a terrible state." Teng Yunlong sighed, "In the past, our Teng family village was bullied by bandits and men died. Some women with deep feelings would also be heartbroken, and even die soon after falling ill. Emotional wounds are indeed incurable." Teng Yunlong had seen too much.

  Emotional injury can be fatal, that's heartache! Heartache can only be cured by the medicine of the heart. Like Yuan Lan, who was deeply grieved and suffered to the extreme, unless Teng Yongfan could appear alive in front of her, she would not recover. Only when one wants to get better from the bottom of their heart will they actually get better.

  "I understand." Qing Shan said in a low voice, "Grandfather, get ready, let the entire Tian clan move to Jiangning Prefecture City."

  "What." Teng Yunlong was shocked.

  "It's much safer inside the city. That's the territory of the Guiyuan Sect." Teng Qing Shan took out a sheepskin package from his bosom, opened it and pulled out a stack of gold notes, "Grandfather, this is 100,000 taels of gold notes! Even if we buy some shops in the city and rent them out, it's enough to support our clan members."

  Hong Yunlong looked at this stack of gold tickets, shocked in his heart. 100,000 taels of gold, that's 1 billion taels of silver! Astronomical figures!

  "Also, this is the Zhu fruit wine. It's also what I prepared for the village." Teng Qing Shan took out the wine jug, "This Zhu fruit wine can increase strength by several thousand jin even if a weak woman drinks a cup. If a strong man drinks a cup, it can increase his strength by a thousand jin."

  Hong Yunlong couldn't believe it.

  ……

  When he personally drank a cup, his strength increased by three thousand catties, Teng Yunlong was greatly surprised and immediately regarded the Zhu Guo wine as a treasure of the sect. In fact, with Teng Yunlong's physique, he could increase his strength by six or seven thousand catties at once, but he drank relatively little.

  That night, Teng Yunlong immediately gathered many of his clansmen and then began to have them prepare to move overnight.

  However—

  More than 2,000 people moved, but under Tun Yulung's strict requirements, many pots and pans were not brought, only some clothes, as well as ancestral temples and spirit tablets. At dawn, more than 2,000 people used the Imperial Guard's war horses to pull some items, and finally gathered everything together.

  Early morning, dawn breaks.

  The villagers were all sad and reluctant to leave their ancestral homeland where they had lived for generations.

  "It's a blessing in disguise!" Teng Yunlong exclaimed, "Even the great sects have their day of doom. In this countryside, our Teng Family Village will always be living in fear. But once we get to the city! Even if there is a war between sects, it won't affect the ordinary people in the city. Let's go... This is a wonderful thing!"

  Everyone understands that going to the city is a great thing.

  It's just that I'm reluctant to give up in my heart.

  ……

  The people of Hengjiazhuang, led by Ma Xixi, advanced eastward in a mighty and majestic manner. There were hundreds of good men from the tribe, as well as the Black Armor Army's personal guards. This protective force was enough to make any horse thief tremble with fear. Within the jurisdiction of Jiangning Prefecture, who didn't know about the Black Armor Army? No one dared to rob the Black Armor Army within the jurisdiction of Jiangning Prefecture.

  Even Qinghu Island doesn't dare!

  Since knowing Guiyuan Sect's trump card, Qinghu Island will no longer easily provoke Guiyuan Sect.

  Sān Chà Kǒu

  "We've already left the Da Yan Shan range, there's no one from Qing Hu Island anymore. Qing Yu, take good care of your mother on the road." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "What about you, brother?" Qing Yu asked anxiously.

  "I still have things to do, at least the bodies of my uncle and father need to be buried." Teng Qing Shan said, how could he just return to Jiangning Prefecture like this? The suppressed anger in his heart had already made Teng Qing Shan's head almost explode. This crazy anger, Teng Qing Shan couldn't bear!

  "Uh-huh." Qing Yu nodded.

  Teng Qing Shan sent people out of the Da Yan Mountain range, also to prevent people from Qing Hu Island. However, on the way here, not a single Yin Jiao military officer was seen.

  More than two thousand people slowly moved eastward.

  "Qing Hao." shouted Tian Qing Shan who was standing by the roadside.

  "Qing Shan." Teng Qinghao walked over, and Teng Qingshan said in a low voice: "Where are the bodies of your father and my father?"

  "In the southwest of Dàyán Shān, in the valley of Húluò Jià Gōu, at the bottom of the valley, there is a bottomless cave. We used to go hunting and passed by it, remember?" Téng Qīnghào said, Téng Qīngshān nodded... Back then, Téng Qīngshān was the leader of the hunting team, and he led for six years."

  Daiyanshan, he is familiar with every place there.

  Inside the Great Yan Mountain, there are several bottomless caves. Teng Qing Shan didn't pay attention to them as he had seen many similar "heavenly pits" in his past life. Due to crustal movement, some soil collapsed and formed what is known as a bottomless cave. As for these bottomless caves, Teng Qing Shan had never explored them before.

  "Hulu Gorge's Bottomless Cave." Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, "Qing Hu Island, what's the point of finding the Bottomless Cave?"

  Hong Qingshao said, "Those bastards from Qinghu Island caught a large group of hunters. First they asked us if we had seen any palaces in the Great Yan Mountain. We all said we didn't know... Then they asked us if we knew about some deep caves and deep pools that lead to the underground. We hunters took them there."

  "Underground? Palace?" Teng Qing Shan easily inferred.

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan walked along the Great Yan Mountain all the way west, until he saw Teng's Village. Standing on the mountain, he gazed out at the desolate Teng's Village, and a pang of sorrow rose up in his heart.

  At the age of six, I was already lifting a 100-jin boulder in this martial arts arena. My father was so excited that he almost got drunk that night, and a group of people from our clan were arguing over whether to send me to join the Guiyuan Sect.

  The first time I went hunting in the mountains, I caught a snow leopard and a wolf king. When I returned to the village, the cheers of the villagers were still ringing in my ears.

  At the age of fourteen, the second master of Tieshan Gang came to kill, and he fought back, intimidating his opponent.

  One scene after another, unforgettable.

  "This is the root of my Teng clan! But today, we must relocate. All because... Qinghu Island!!! Everything is because of Qinghu Island! Teng Qingshan never thought that Qinghu Island would come to catch a simple countryman, "My father died, and my mother..." Teng Qingshan knew it clearly."

  If this continues, Mother's physical and mental strength will be exhausted, and she won't live much longer.

  Dad! Mom!

  In this life, Qing Shan values nothing more than his surname. He treasures it even more than his own life! And all of this was taken away because of Qing Hu Island!

  "For the sake of my parents, I can endure, endure everything that can be endured! All of this will disappear!" Teng Qing Shan's suppressed anger in his heart was roaring, his eyes were faintly red. The death of his wife 'Xiao Mao' in his previous life drove Teng Qing Shan to madness, and in a rage he killed towards the Red Organization, destroying the entire organization at once!

  Nowadays, this time the anger of Qingyun Mountain is no less than that of the previous life!

  This is terrible!

  This is inverted scale!

  Anyone has the most precious thing, when this treasure is robbed, even the gentlest person will go mad. What's more... Teng Qing Shan was originally a lone wolf with retracted sharp claws! A wolf who had been killing since he was seven years old in his past life!

  It's time to stop tolerating!

  Hong Qingshan's only thought was - kill! Kill!! Kill!!!!

  Using the killer skills learned from past lives, go all out to kill!

  Use his special ability granted by Neijiaquan to kill!

  Stop at nothing... kill by all means!

  Unleash all the anger from the bottom of your heart, no need for any endurance, just kill!!!

  "Qinghu Island..." Teng Qing Shan untied his bundle, first putting on a human skin mask, the human skin mask of a middle-aged man with scars. Then he put on those eagle claw gloves. His whole body's muscles and bones made slight sounds, originally 7 feet 6 inches (1.9 meters) tall Teng Qing Shan shrunk to 7 feet 2 inches (1.8 meters), his body became much sturdier.

  Hong Qing Shan's eyes were cold and distant, like a lone wolf, gazing into the depths of the mountain!

  It's just him!

  No worries at all!

  "Let's go!" Teng Qing Shan suddenly darted off and vanished into the mountains in an instant.
