Chapter 402 Taking Action

Zhang Han’s words gradually caused everyone to hold their breath.

They had gone through the process of despair to hope and then back to despair. At this time, they seemed to have hope again.

They didn’t know what facial expressions to wear.

If Zhang Han was one of their younger generation, they would scold him: “Can’t you finish your speech at one time?”

However, although this man was indirectly regarded as being from their younger generation, he was a Grand Master Late-stage… Who dared to treat him as one of the younger generation?

Though they didn’t know if Zhang Han was a real martial arts master, they just believed Wang Ming’s introduction and Zhang Han’s performance.

The people present were not shocked that Zhang Han was so young because they were all worried about Wang Zhanpeng.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Han said calmly, “Though I have no solution to this array, I can break it.”

“But the demands are a little harsh,” Zhang Han continued, “I need a yin soul and 99 top-quality jades. Send them here by 11:55 p.m. and I’ll save him. Or you can prepare his funeral.”

All of a sudden—

As soon as he said that, everyone present was shocked. “Yin soul?”

“A yin soul is hardly ever seen in the world. In such a short time…” Wang Liang began trembling as he was again desperate.

“Even if a yin soul is hard to find, we must find a way!” Wang Zhanzong, Wang Ming’s father, frowned as he said, “Ming, contact the Jiuzhuang Taoist Temple and ask them for information about yin souls.”

“Liang, I’ll give you an hour to prepare 99 pieces of top-quality jade!”

“…”

So all these core figures of the Wang family began taking action.

Only Rong Jiaxin, Zhang Han, Wang Zhanzong, and Wang Zhanpeng were left in the bedroom.

“This…”

Wang Zhanzong made an obeisance to Zhang Han solemnly and then bent slightly. However, he forgot Zhang Han’s name and didn’t know what to say.

“His name is Zhang Han, my nephew,” Rong Jiaxin reminded him.

“Master Zhang,” Wang Zhanpeng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “please do me a favor for my eldest brother. No matter whether you succeed or not, my whole family will bear your kindness in mind.”

“It’s no matter,” Zhang Han looked at him calmly and said, “It’s just for my aunt. Since you treat her well, I’d like to help you.”

Wang Zhanzong was stunned, and then gave him a wry smile. “It’s a blessing for my family to marry Jiaxin.”

“So don’t stand on ceremony, Mr. Wang.” Zhang Han smiled.

Zhang Han’s smile relaxed the atmosphere in the room.

Rong Jiaxin was about to cry.

She was moved and pleased.

“My sister gave birth to a good son. If she knew that Han was so promising, she would be very happy.”

Rong Jiaxin had guarded Rong Jiali for several years and watched Zhang Han grow up, so she had a good relationship with him.

“Dad, this is my nephew, and you can treat him as a junior,” said Rong Jiaxin.

“Well, I’ll call you Han, and you can call me elder Zong.” Wang Zhanzong smiled.

Although he said so, he would not really regard Zhang Han as a junior.

After all, Zhang Han was a late-stage Grand Master, even better than Wang Zhanzong’s eldest brother.

“Wait!

“Late stage? Grand Master?”

It took Wang Zhanzong a few moments to check Zhang Han’s level. Then he looked at the young man and said, “You, you are a late-stage Grand Master?”

Zhang Han did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“How long is Wang Zhanzong’s reflex arc?”

Knowing that the Wangs were so worried about Wang Zhanpeng, Zhang Han didn’t answer Elder Zong’s question. Instead, he mobilized his spiritual force and let it flow out of his body.

For a time, the room was full of serious and cruel atmosphere, which made everyone feel scared.

All three in the room, including Rong Jiaxin, felt the pressure from Zhang Han at the moment.

But in less than a second, with Zhang Han withdrawing his Qi, the room returned to calm.

But the three in the room could not calm down, and they all stared at Zhang Han.

For them, before today, the Grand Master Late-stage was just a concept. Today, they really understood the power of a Grand Master.

This made the room silent again.

“Han, we will remember your kindness and repay it later,” said Wang Zhanzong.

“OK,” Zhang Han replied and looked at Wang Zhanpeng, who was lying on the bed. After thinking about it, he decided to go back and chat with Zi Yan for a while.

Before Zhang Han could leave, Wang Zhanhong asked, “What’s the meaning of Seven Soul Poisons?”

“Seven Soul Poisons,” Zhang Han pondered and explained, “This is not a common poison, but a more advanced poison that acts on the soul. After drinking this poison, it will turn into gas and enter his five internal organs, dantian, and soul sense sea respectively, absorbing his blood and qi to nourish its toxicity, so it is called Seven Soul Poisons. Generally, in the early morning of the seventh day, the seven wounds within the poisoned person’s body will be connected into an array, and his soul will die instantly, so it is called the Seven Soul Poison Array. This kind of poison only attacks at the last moment, and the poisoned people are not different from ordinary people at ordinary times.”

Zhang Han just explained it simply because the Seven Soul Poisons was a more complex method, and no one could fully understand it in a short time.

Even so, his audience was still confused.

“What is the soul sense sea?” Wang Zhanhong asked.

“You can regard it as your brain,” replied Zhang Han.

“You said that this kind of poison only attacked the body at the last moment. But eldest brother lost his consciousness at seven o’clock in the evening. Why? Did the poison attack ahead of time?” Wang Zhanzong asked worriedly.

In front of Zhang Han, he felt that he was a reckless man who knew nothing.

“The poison in his body is only a little related to the Seven Soul Poisons, and the poison array in his body is only connected by the wounds in the five internal organs,” Zhang Han said slowly, “And the caster is also a novice, otherwise he would not be in a coma.”

The two elders felt a little ashamed, for they didn’t even know what poison the eldest brother had drunk. Maybe in Han Zhang’s eyes, they were not even suitable to be a novice.

“I see. Then…” Wang Zhanzong was about to ask something, but Zhang Han was no longer interested in answering. He waved and said, “Call me when you are ready. I will go back to accompany my wife.”

“Well, all right.” Wang Zhanzong nodded and said, “Jiaxin, you accompany him.”

“OK.” Rong Jiaxin and Zhang Han walked out of the room to go to the main house, and Rong Jiaxin kept expressing her surprise all the way.

“Grand Master Late-stage, it’s really daunting.” Wang Zhanzong shook his head.

“More importantly,” Wang Zhanhong took a deep breath and sighed, “he is less than 30 years old and can be compared with Emperor Qing. Both of them are talents, and I admire them so much.”

“Let’s get in touch with the others and try our best to get the yin soul!” Wang Zhanzong said firmly.

……

Zhang Han returned to the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zi Yan, Wang Ya, and the other girls chatting happily.

They were not talking about Wang Ya, but about some female topics. While Zi Yan and Wang Ya didn’t talk much, both Zhou Fei and Zhang Li were talkative.

“Mom, you’re back. What happened to Grandpa?” Wang Ya asked. She didn’t know that Wang Zhanpeng was poisoned and thought he was ill.

“Well, we have found a solution.” Rong Jiaxin nodded.

After sitting down, she looked at Zi Yan and said, “Thanks to Xiaohan this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome.”

Hearing this, Zhou Fei and Zhang Li both looked at Zhang Han.

They felt that Zhang Han was getting more and more powerful.

Zi Yan also said with a smile, “Of course, he is very powerful.”

“My husband is a powerful immortal.”

Zhang Han smiled as it reminded him of what Mengmeng often said: “My PaPa is powerful!”

Both the mother and daughter were very proud of Zhang Han.

They talked for more than an hour until it was almost half past 11.

No one had come to inform them, and Rong Jiaxin was a little worried.

“Isn’t everything that is needed ready?”

She looked at Zhang Han and suggested, “Han, shall we go and have a look?”

Zhang Han nodded. “OK.”

Zi Yan came out of the bedroom, where she had just gone to look after Mengmeng. Seeing Zhang Han leaving, she said, “Are you going there to have a look?”

“Well, I’ll be back at about 12.” Zhang Han nodded.

“Then I’ll wait for you,” Zi Yan smiled and said, “Go now.”

After leaving the room, Zhang Li and Zhou Fei were not sleepy at all because they often stayed up late. Although Wang Ya was sleepy, she felt that she should accompany them for a while and thus didn’t go to rest.

They arrived at the old house’s bedroom, where the others gathered and the atmosphere was serious.

“We have found the top-level jade. But we still don’t know where to get the yin soul.” Wang Zhanzong sighed when he saw Zhang Han.

“Can we not have a ghost? Are there any other alternatives?” Wang Zhanhong asked in a hurry.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Han shook his head.

The atmosphere in the room was more oppressive, which made the Wangs feel suffocated.

All of a sudden, Wang Ming, standing on the left, stared at Zhang Han and said in a loud voice, “Han, Han, can we use the soul of a beast?”

“Swish!”

Everyone in the room looked at Wang Ming first, then at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han pondered then finally said yes.

Though a yang soul was the best tool to break the Seven Soul Poisons Array, it was rare to see one in the world and was usually replaced by a yin soul. Yin and yang souls were souls of different attributes,
