CHAPTER 234: CHAPTER 225: HAND OVER LING YING (THIRD UPDATE)

"Yang, what did you say? Chen Zheng is not dead?"

Ling Ying stood up in surprise.

Half a day ago, everyone had entered that stone chamber and saw Chen Zheng’s remains.

At that time, the old man handed a relic to Yang Tian.

Now Yang Tian opened the wooden box, played the MP3, and upon hearing Chen Zheng’s last words, he suddenly had such a big reaction?

"Chen Zheng should not be dead!"

Yang Tian said in a deep voice.

"Why do you say that..."

Ling Ying looked at Yang Tian.

"If Chen Zheng were dead, how could he possibly know he has a son? How could he possibly leave me a last message?"

Yang Tian said directly.

Upon hearing Yang Tian’s words, Ling Ying also realized.

"That’s right, Chen Zheng was trapped in the basement for five years. He shouldn’t have known he had a son, and even in death, he couldn’t have left a message for his son. Even if he left a message, it would be for Chen Ming..."

Ling Ying said.

"Exactly!" Yang Tian’s eyes gleamed sharply: "Let’s go back!"

"But..."

Ling Ying grew anxious.

Going back means death!

Poison Rose is already here; Ling Ying barely escaped, fearing that returning would lead to being killed by Poison Rose.

"We’re going back now!"

Yang Tian stood up.

"Yang..." Ling Ying was a bit worried. She saw the wooden box and suddenly said, "There’s another MP3, another last message..."

"Oh?"

Yang Tian also saw the other MP3 in the wooden box. He picked it up and pressed the play button.

Soon, a solemn voice continued to echo: "The Dark Organization is the most terrifying horror in Huaxia. The Chen Family offended it, which is why they were attacked. Five years ago, I had an accident; they captured me and faked my death. Over the years, despite my death, the Chen Family still couldn’t find the truth, nor could they locate the Dark Organization, which shows the terror of the Dark Organization..."

After a pause, it continued: "In fact, the Dark Organization is an Ancient Martial Arts family. Each of its leaders and core members is a martial artist trained in Ancient Martial Arts!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Ying’s face showed surprise: "Could it be not only Poison Rose? Are the other leaders and core members also Ancient Martial Arts experts?"

Even Yang Tian was surprised.

He joined the ranks of Ancient Martial Artists after being bitten by a Thousand-Year Python.

But unexpectedly, there’s a group of Ancient Martial Artists, not just Poison Rose, but a whole group.

That solemn voice echoed from the MP3 again: "My son, I hope you marry Ling Ying, then join the Dark Organization, become part of it, and take over the Chen Family. If not, the Chen Family will perish in your generation..."

With that, all the sounds ended.

Yang Tian was even more puzzled: "If Chen Zheng is dead, then how did he know about my relationship with you?"

Ling Ying nodded: "This is indeed a problem!"

"Let’s go back now!"

Yang Tian put away the wooden box and quickly headed towards the cave.

Ling Ying hesitated for a moment, then sighed lightly and followed him back.

In less than an hour, they returned to the cave.

"Ling Ying, do you know how to return to the old man?"

Yang Tian asked directly.

"You suspect the old man?"

Ling Ying wasn’t foolish.

"Exactly!"

Yang Tian nodded.

This old man was the most suspicious.

"Alright, I’ll take you to find him now!"

Ling Ying nodded and led Yang Tian in another direction, walking for a long time along the mountain path, and then entering through a bat cave entrance.

This time, the two quickly returned to the site before the incident.

"President Wang and his group should have retreated..."

Yang Tian activated the X-ray Vision Technique, scanning the surroundings but not finding Wang Ying and others.

Soon, he furrowed his brows: "There are traces of a fight ahead!"

"Traces of a fight?"

Ling Ying’s face turned pale.

She immediately thought of Poison Rose!

"Let’s go up and take a look!"

Yang Tian called Ling Ying and ran forward, passing through several twists until they finally saw a chaotic scene ahead, with bullet marks everywhere...

"My second brother and the others were attacked!"

Yang Tian picked up a dagger from the ground, which was He Shang’s weapon.

"It’s Poison Rose!"

Ling Ying suddenly said, picking up a blood-red petal from the ground, a rose petal.

"Really?"

Yang Tian clenched his fist.

Whether it’s Poison Rose or Blood Rose, if they dared to touch his people, he would make them suffer even in death!

"Yang Tian, why did you come back?"

A startled voice sounded as an old man walked out from behind. It was none other than the guard of this place, the old man.

"Old man, you’re here just in time!" Yang Tian asked directly: "Where is Chen Zheng?"

"Chen Zheng? Didn’t I say already? He’s dead!"

The old man said calmly.

"Dead?" Yang Tian sneered coldly, taking out the wooden box and playing the MP3.

Soon, that solemn voice echoed: "My son, please leave immediately, don’t oppose the Dark Organization..."

Before finishing listening, the old man waved his hand: "Okay, you can stop. Yang Tian, you’re very clever, but you discovered..."

"Wasn’t it all your doing?"

Yang Tian coldly stared at the old man.

"That’s right, it was Chen Zheng who instructed me to do it!"

The old man did not deny it.

"So is Chen Zheng really dead?"

Yang Tian was most concerned about this.

"Dead, the corpse you saw was Chen Zheng’s!" The old man said openly: "That last message wasn’t left by Chen Zheng, but was forged by me, intended to make you give up opposing the Dark Organization!"

"What does this achieve?"

Yang Tian couldn’t help but ask.

Somehow, he felt something was wrong.

But trying to pinpoint the exact issue was challenging for him at the moment.

"Because it’s what I owe Chen Zheng!" The old man’s face grew solemn: "In fact, Chen Zheng died by my hand!"

"Oh?"

A cold glint flashed in Yang Tian’s eyes.

He stared at the old man, and now he activated the Mind Reading Technique, probing into the old man’s mind.

Soon, Yang Tian sneered coldly: "Old man, are you kidding? Chen Zheng is not dead; the corpse was fake, and Chen Zheng is right here in this underground base!"

"Oh?"

Surprise flashed across the old man’s eyes.

He couldn’t believe Yang Tian saw through his lies so easily.

"Moreover, I think your identity is far from simple as just a guard!"

Yang Tian said coldly.

"Haha..." The old man laughed: "Yang Tian, you are very clever! You shouldn’t have come back, for the Dark Organization’s Poison Rose awaits you here!"

"Let her come out; she’s no match for me!"

Yang Tian said coldly.

"Yang Tian, you are right. I am no match for you, but your people are in my hands!"

A crisp voice sounded.

A masked, slender woman emerged from behind, followed by several black-clad men holding Wang Ying and the others.

Yang Tian’s eyes gleamed with killing intent, ready to strike.

But at this moment, the masked woman said, "Yang Tian, let’s make a deal. You give me Ling Ying, and I’ll return your people!"

"Oh?"

Suspicion flashed across Yang Tian’s eyes: What does Poison Rose want with Ling Ying?

Behind him, Ling Ying’s eyes showed a trace of fear...
