Chapter 71
None of them were happy with the thought of their long journey home while have to carry and care for their leaders. The lower level clansmen were clinging their blessing that they didn't have to stand before the Clan Leader and explain how this happened. They were still furious when they thought of the fact that Zhang You was able to escape. All of their losses were placed at his feet. The higher ups didn't even have to issue the order, they knew that as far as the Diako Clan was concerned Zhang You was now public enemy number one.
When Zhang You saw the long line of warriors finally disappear in the distance, he finally released his concealment technique. The Diako warriors had a.s.sumed that he had fled a long time ago, but he merely hid himself in the woods near by. Zhang You knew there was no longer any place he could stay in this world. It didn't matter that his uncle was his mother's brother, no blood relation would be able to spare his life. How was he tho know there were cultivators in that world? His Intel was all that he knew. He didn't embellish anything he told his uncle. His uncle became obsessed as soon as he heard of this new world. His arrogance made him a.s.sume that it was a world full of weaklings he could do with as he pleased. If anything it wad his uncle's fault, and now her had no home to go to. The more he thought it the more he cursed his wretched uncle. He thought for a moment to go his mother's and hide out there, but he just a quickly threw away this idea. He knew there was no way his mother would be able to protect him. h.e.l.l she might even sell him out to her brother if the offer was enticing enough.
As Zhang You was pondering what his options were and what her should do he happened to glance up at the portal. His eyes began to light up as ther craziest idea began to surface in his head.

The armies around the abyss were busy getting a sit-rep and treating their wounded. Agent Matthews was on a satellite phone with her father the general.
"So explain to me again what happened. You had a very vivid dream that you were being chosen by some homeless man? ", the General asked with
"Father it wasn't a dream it was more of a vision. What happened afterward was real father. The techniques that have been implanted in my mind are more powerful than any form of martial art that had ever been taught before. I have an energy that is circulating in my body that is making me more powerful every second today goes by. I really don't know how to describe it more clearly to you. But I do know that I'm not the only person who was given abilities like this. We were all chosen to receive this gift.", Agent Mathews said with excitement in her voice.
She thought that her father would be proud of her knowing that of the over 7 billion people in ther world, his daughter was one of the chosen. But her father's next world dumped ice cold water all over her warm feelings.
"How do you know you haven't been brainwashed by this homeless, dirty monk? What gives them the right to choose who gets these abilities? For all we'r know they are giving our enemies the power to destroy us! You will return immediately so our scientist can check you out to make sure you're ok."
With that the General hung up. Her didn't wait to hear her reply because he knew she would obey him. Agent Mathews had never disobeyed a direct order from her father in her entire life. Agent Mathews shoulders hung low as age rummaged thru their destroyed base looking for her things. While she was doing that she kept looking over her shoulder toward the Abyss. She felt something was urging her to go down there. What ever was urging to go felt like it was tugging at her soul. Before she knew it she wad already standing at the edge of the Abyss with her toes hanging over the edge. She suddenly jumped back startled not only by her proximity to the Abyss, but also by ther fact that she didn't even remember going over there. Just as she was about to turn back she suddenly saw a flash of strange movement on the other side of ther Abyss.

Chen Zhen stood at the foot of an enormous mountain range. The peaks of some of the highest mountains were shrouded in clouds. There were many road and winding pathways that meandered their way the many valleys and along towards the mountain tops. The area was very active with people walking or riding spirit beast. Some more wealthy people could be seen riding along on very extravagant carriages. To Chen Zhen instead of looking cl.u.s.tered and a chaotic mess, all the activity blended naturally with the mountain landscape rendering everything a beautiful old world feel.
"I'm glad you can appreciate the beauty of my home as well. I never realized how much I've missed it until I returned to see it once again.", Shenggu Feng said with an emotional voice.
Chen Zhen could understand how he felt. Being so close to going home just to have to turn around and leave again. Deep down he wad truly heartbroken. What made it worse for him was that Mei Ling could tell how he felt and shed repeated trying to entice him when he felt his lowest. If anything Chen Zhen was very happy that they had finally arrived at the Shenggu Clan. He could now turn her over tho be the clan's responsibility and her no longer had to worry about her hovering around him all day.
Shenggu Feng guided Chen Zhen up to one of the mountain peaks that was decorated with a golden palace. Chen Zhen didn't think anything of it and just stayed to walk thru the enormous golden gates. As soon as one of his feet pa.s.sed the threshold a hand roughly grabbed his collar from behind. Acting on instinct Chen Zhen pivoted back a little on his right foot, while his left arm swung under the hand that grabbed him. He then very easily grabbed the person's bicep with his left hand and tried to toss them over his head. Instead of being able to toss this mysterious a.s.sailant away the person used the force of Chen Zhen's toss to flip over his head. They then threw a punch at his face. Chen Zhen easily knocked it away with his left hand while stepping forward to throw a right hook away their body.
His a.s.sailant very agilely spun away from his hook and used the momentum from their skin to throw a sweeping kick at Chen Zhen's right knee. Eventhough Chen Zhen was surprised his hook didn't connect her child still keep up with the flow of his opponent. Her braced his leg and when ther sweep failed to trip him, her pushed back with his leg. Right as his fist was about to surrender his a.s.sailant in the face a shout to stop came from inside inside the gates as well as inside of Chen Zhen's head.
