When Zhou Wen saw this scene, he knew that Charlie was doomed.
His book and the crucifixâs abilities were indeed powerful, but he didnât know that the mask wasnât the crux of the problem. Destroying the mask alone was useless. Instead, it might put him in danger.
Indeed, after a commotion in the Fiend Tomb, grayish-white dust spewed out.
When Charlie saw the dust, his expression changed slightly. The book and crucifix in his hand glowed again. He wanted to repel the dust, but the dust was like smoke. Repelling the smoke on one side would have the smoke on the other side sweep over and spray on Charlieâs face.
Everything happened so quickly that even the Cape family couldnât stop it. By the time they reacted, the dust had already condensed into a mask on Charlieâs face.
When the Cape family rushed forward to help Charlie, the crucifix in Charlieâs hand had a shocking glow. It stabbed the two Cape family members who wanted to help him.
The two of them were caught off guard. After being injured by Charlie, they fell to the ground and their bodies quickly turned into Fiend Stones. Everyone was shocked.
However, Charlie, who was controlled by the Ghoul Mask, didnât care. He waved the book and crucifix in his hand and charged at the humans on the stone platform.
Zhang Chunqiu suddenly attacked. His sword slashed like a stream of light, instantly shattering the mask on Charlieâs face. However, it didnât injure Charlieâs face. The precision of his sword technique was shocking.
However, it was useless. The shattered mask quickly reformed and covered Charlieâs face again.
Everyone fought Charlie, but it wasnât good enough to injure him. Even attacking the mask on his face was useless. Instantly, everyone was in disarray.
In the end, Zhang Siyou produced a talisman and stuck it to the Ghoul Mask, causing Charlie to stand there motionless. However, the mask could not be removed from his face.
The Cape family thought of many ways, but they were unable to remove the mask. They could only seek help from Zhang Siyou.
Zhang Siyou said, âMy Mythical Ghost Suppression Talisman can only suppress it, but it canât completely be eliminated. Furthermore, this mask is very strange. Itâs useless to shatter it. Iâm helpless as well. We must think of other solutions.â
This outcome was naturally within Zhou Wenâs expectations. The Ghoul Mask wasnât the main point. No matter how strong one was, it was impossible to kill it. They had to dig up the grave and destroy the human-face symbol below.You are reading on novelping(.)com, the official source.
The Zhang family looked at Moses, hoping that he could remove the mask. However, Moses shook his head and said, âIf I had attacked from the beginning and completely destroyed the mask, I might have had a chance. Now, the mask is already on Charlieâs face. My Guardian is too powerful. Even if I can destroy the mask with one strike, Charlie wonât be spared.â
The Zhang family and the Cape family were in a dilemma. No one could solve the problem of the Fiend Tomb without harming Charlie.
When Zhang Chunqiu saw Zhou Wen standing by the side and watching all of this happen, his expression remained abnormally calm. With a thought, he asked Zhou Wen, âZhou Wen, do you have a way to remove the mask without harming Charlie?â
As everyone fell silent, they looked at the two of them when they heard Zhang Chunqiuâs question.
Zhou Wen answered, âSure, but Iâll say it again. Iâm not as capable as Charlie and company. If you want me to resolve the problem, you have to dig open the Fiend Tomb.â
âWhy are you still spouting nonsense at a time like this? The mask has already been lured out. Why are you still digging up the Fiend Tomb?â Uncle Zhang said.
As a conservative of the Zhang family, the last thing he wanted was to dig up the Fiend Tomb.
Zhou Wen was helpless as well. This was the result of unequal information. It was common sense from his point of view, but to the Zhang family, it was a mysterious and unfathomable unknown force. They were too afraid of the Fiend Tomb and were afraid that the Zhang family would be wiped out if the Fiend Tomb was dug up. Therefore, they were extremely against it.
âUncle, Zhou Wen isnât someone who speaks without reason. He must have his reasons for saying that.â Zhang Chunqiu and Dugu Ge had seen Zhou Wenâs strength from outside Forbidden City and knew that he was extraordinary.
Furthermore, back then, everyone believed that Zhou Wen and Old Master Xia had been trapped in Forbidden City. No one had seen him come out, but to their surprise, he had returned to Luoyang unscathed while Old Master Xia had vanished without a trace. Zhang Chunqiu knew that he himself couldnât do such a thing.
âThe truth is right in front of us. What reason do we need?â Uncle Zhang said coldly.
âCelestial Master, the Fiend Tombâs influence on our Zhang family is getting more and more serious. If we canât resolve it completely, Iâm afraid our Zhang family will die in a few years, even if there are no disasters or calamities. Now that things have come to this, rather than being sitting ducks, why donât we let Zhou Wen give it a try? I believe he can resolve the problem without alarming Ba. Celestial Master, please give him a chance and also give our Zhang family descendants a chance,â Zhang Chunqiu said as he bowed in front of Zhang Siyou.
âChunqiu, what are you doing? Getting rid of that mask doesnât require digging up the Fiend Tomb. We are only helpless because we are worried about Charlieâs life...â Uncle Zhang was immediately enraged.
âNow that things have come to this, I donât think I can hold back anymore. Celestial Master, if you are willing to let my Guardian take action, I guarantee that I can destroy the mask. However, I canât guarantee Charlieâs life,â Moses said.
âMoses... How dare you...â The Cape family members glared at him.The source of this chapter is noâ velping.com.
âEnough.â After Zhang Siyou spoke, everyone quietened down and looked at him. It was still Zhang Siyou who called the shots here.
âZhou Wen, how confident are you?â Zhang Siyou looked at Zhang Chunqiu who was kneeling in front of him before asking Zhou Wen.
âI was only 70% confident previously, but now that Iâve seen the maskâs ability, Iâm 90% confident,â Zhou Wen said.
âDo you need anything?â Zhang Siyou asked again.
âNo, one person is enough,â Zhou Wen answered.
âAlright, then do it. If you succeed, the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg will be yours,â Zhang Siyou said with a nod.
âCelestial Master, we canât dig up the Fiend Tomb...â Uncle Zhang said anxiously.
âBrother, Iâve already made my decision. Thereâs no need to speak further,â Zhang Siyou said calmly.
Uncle Zhang stomped his feet in anger. âHave you forgotten the teachings of the ancestral Celestial Master? Digging open the Fiend Tomb is a calamity for our Zhang family!â
âZhou Wen, what are you waiting for?â Zhang Chunqiu pretended not to hear his uncleâs indignant words as he stood up and nudged Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen no longer had any qualms as he summoned Tyrant Behemoth. With a boom, Tyrant Behemothâs majestic body landed in front of the Fiend Tomb.
âTyrant Behemoth... Thatâs actually Zhou Wenâs Companion Beast...â Apart from the Zhang family, the other families were alarmed.
After all, it was a powerful existence ranked fourth on the previous rankings. In fact, although Tyrant Behemoth was ranked fourth, it had never lost.
