2372 A different world_1
After eating and drinking, Tang Zhen and the rest left the forest.
The process of getting out was extremely smooth, and there was no obstruction at all. This was also one of the characteristics of an illusion array.
This illusionary array was easy to exit but not easy to enter. When he turned back to look, the scene in front of him was completely different from the original.
Light and shadow intertwined, and the atmosphere was gloomy. One look and one could tell that this was not a good place.
When the old woman and the rest saw this, they felt a faint fear in their hearts. They had been trapped by this illusory formation before, which was why they had ended up like this.
Now that he looked back, he couldn’t help but feel fear in his heart. He really didn’t want to suffer that kind of torture again.
Only Tang Zhen was able to see that there was a passage within the illusory formation that he could easily pass through.
Clearly, this illusory formation was only targeted at others and had no effect on him. This caused Tang Zhen to feel extremely comfortable.
After asking the middle-aged cultivator and the others and confirming this, Tang Zhen laughed and led the group away.
When they reached the edge of the forest, the middle-aged cultivator took out his phone and made a call. Then, he asked Tang Zhen to wait patiently.
According to his explanation, he was a sinecure of an invisible wealthy family, and the phone call just now was also to the other party.
In order to intimidate their opponents and protect their own safety, the wealthy families were extremely respectful to the middle-aged cultivator and basically granted all his requests.
As expected, it didn’t take long for several cars to arrive and pick up Tang Zhen and the others.
As the entire journey was arranged by the middle-aged cultivator and the others, Tang Zhen was naturally happy to be idle. He followed them all the way to the manor that the rich man had built with a lot of money.
After arriving at the destination, Tang Zhen knew that this invisible rich man was really rich. The huge Manor was luxurious and spectacular. Even a landscape tree was worth a lot.
In the past, Tang Zhen did not have the qualifications to enter this kind of special private territory. However, he had now become a distinguished guest.
When the owner of the manor heard that the middle-aged cultivator and his senior brother had come together, he immediately took a plane and rushed over. He didn’t dare to show any neglect to such a group of cultivators.
It was precisely because he often came into contact with cultivators that the owner of the manor knew how powerful they were. For these cultivators, wealth and power in the secular world could be easily obtained.
It was just that most cultivators were indifferent to fame and fortune, and wholeheartedly pursued the path of transcendence, which made the dignitaries have a place to curry favor with.
They helped the cultivators deal with all kinds of worldly affairs, and the cultivators protected them. They each took what they needed.
Those families with long inheritances all had cultivators behind them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand the changes in the secular world.
When Tang Zhen heard the middle-aged cultivator’s explanation, he could not help but sigh in his heart. He did not expect that this world was completely different from what he had imagined.
The rich man who came after hearing the news was also shocked. The middle-aged cultivator and the others, who were high and mighty in his eyes, were actually so respectful to Tang Zhen.
No one was a fool. They only needed a single glance to know that Tang Zhen’s identity was definitely not simple.
Although he had doubts in his heart, the rich man was smart enough not to ask any more questions. Instead, he tried to provide the best service possible.
Therefore, in the following time, Tang Zhen could be considered to have opened his eyes. All aspects of clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation were properly arranged, and good things were continuously sent to the manor.
The cost in a short period of time was an astronomical figure. Any piece of clothing or food was comparable to an ordinary person’s annual income.
The middle-aged cultivator was very satisfied with this and felt that he had not lost face. Therefore, when he chatted with the rich man in private, he specifically told him to please Tang Zhen.
With Tang Zhen’s wealth and strength, as long as he revealed a little reward at that time, it would be sufficient to let this rich man benefit endlessly.
After receiving the middle-aged cultivator’s guidance, this wealthy man became even more attentive. In the end, even Tang Zhen was a little embarrassed.
He came from a humble background and had never experienced such a situation before. Even though his status was different now, he still did not take it for granted.
After receiving someone’s kindness, he had to repay them, otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
Sure enough, it was as the middle-aged cultivator had predicted. Tang Zhen had specially invited the rich man in front of him and then gave him an item.
This item was a reward from the system. It was an amulet that could help the wearer withstand three disasters.
Even if a rich man fell from the sky on a plane, as long as he wore this item, he would definitely be able to keep his life.
To put it bluntly, it was a passive energy shield. Once it was in danger, it would automatically activate to protect the user.
After listening to Tang Zhen’s introduction, the rich man’s mouth was wide open in shock. Then, his face was filled with ecstasy.
The reason why he wanted to curry favor with the cultivators was to seek peace. Moreover, his identity was special, and he was always worried about his safety.
However, no matter how perfect the security was, it could not be seamless, especially when he had recently been targeted by his enemies and was being threatened by killers.
With this item gifted by Tang Zhen, it was equivalent to giving him three more lives. This was something that he did not even dare to dream of in the past.
Even the middle-aged cultivator and the others were filled with envy at this moment. Such a protective sacred object could only be encountered by luck and not sought for. They did not expect that Tang Zhen would actually give it to the owner of the manor so casually.
At the same time that they were envious and jealous, they also had a deeper understanding of Tang Zhen’s strength. In fact, they even heaved a sigh of relief.
From Tang Zhen’s actions, one could tell that he was not a heartless person. In this way, their safety was guaranteed.
The middle-aged cultivator was even more so. The purpose of him giving pointers to the manor’s owner was also to test Tang Zhen’s character. However, the result far exceeded his expectations.
Combined with the rewards from the mining in the forest, the middle-aged cultivator was certain of one thing. As long as they were serious and obedient, Tang Zhen would definitely not treat them badly.
Whatever the middle-aged cultivator could think of, the old woman’s subordinates could naturally think of it as well. After exchanging glances with each other, their expressions seemed to relax a little.
Tang Zhen didn’t notice this. Instead, he continued to chat with the rich man and inquired about some information regarding the mission.
This rich man had vast connections. If Tang Zhen wanted to collect information, he was naturally the best choice.
After the rich man received the benefits, he was extremely concerned about Tang Zhen’s matter and immediately mobilized his own forces to collect information.
Tang Zhen didn’t have to wait for long before the relevant information was delivered.
However, after seeing the message, Tang Zhen, the middle-aged cultivator, and the others were all shocked.
The system’s prompt for Tang Zhen was that a certain region had been marked out on a world map with the symbol of a skeleton on it.
In the end, the information they received indicated that a very serious epidemic had suddenly broken out in that area.
The entire area had been completely sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. As for the exact situation inside, there was no accurate information at the moment.
However, according to the available information, there were countless deaths and injuries in the sealed area, and it seemed that there were monsters.
The local military had once sent troops to clear the area, but for some unknown reason, the troops that entered never returned. It was very likely that the entire Army would be wiped out.
Even the middle-aged cultivator and the others had never seen such a terrible situation before.
This made them realize that perhaps the whole world had changed. Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened at all.
At the same time, they were also extremely curious. Why would Tang Zhen know about the matter over there, even though he was thousands of miles away?
Tang Zhen did not explain much. Instead, he instructed everyone to make their preparations. After which, he led the group and headed straight to the location of the incident.
