Chapter 1425: Chapter 758: Zhang Yujiang Furious at Zhang Wenjing
Zhang Wenjing trembled all over, unable to believe those cold words came from the mouth of the father who had always cherished her since she was a child!
She was an only child, and her mother passed away early, so she was brought to live in the military camp by her father from a young age.
In the military camp, almost everyone was men.
Ever since this little girl appeared, she immediately attracted the affection of this group of men, young and old.
Everyone held her in the palm of their hands, taking great care of her.
This also nurtured her spoiled and wilful temper from childhood.
And her father, Zhang Yujiang, especially because she lost her mother early, always felt a bit guilty towards her, so he pampered her in every possible way.
He never hit her, not even said a harsh word to her.
Yet just now, her most loving, ever-obliging father actually hit her!
This was the first time Zhang Yujiang hit her, and it was in the extreme form of a slap!
This instant broke her rationality.
Her eyes immediately turned red as she turned to look at Liang Yuan, her eyes bursting with rage and anger.
“Liang, what did you do! What did you do to my dad!”
“I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you!”
She cursed out loud, as flames suddenly burst into life all over her, with a whoosh, she almost turned into a human torch, lunging towards Liang Yuan!
“Hmph!”
Liang Yuan snorted coldly, but before he could move, Zhang Yujiang already took action first!
“You damn thing!”
Swish!
Zhang Yujiang’s arm immediately turned into a thick vine, which instantly wrapped around the charging Zhang Wenjing.
Zhang Wenjing screamed in anger: “Let me go, let me go, I’m going to kill him, I’m going to kill him!”
The flames on her body burned fiercely, igniting Zhang Yujiang’s vine-arm.
Yet Zhang Yujiang’s recovery ability was swift; before the flames could burn through the skin of his vine-arm, new flesh had already grown out.
Full of fury, Zhang Yujiang’s face was grim, without a word, his other hand also turned into a vine, which he swung down hard, lashing at Zhang Wenjing’s back!
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
As those whips came down, they immediately sent sparks flying from Zhang Wenjing’s back, flesh splitting open!
Zhang Wenjing instantly let out a horrific wail.
“Ah—!”
In disbelief, Zhang Wenjing turned her head, screaming pitifully: “Dad!”
“Shut up! How dare you be rude to Mr. Liang, I have no daughter like you!”
Zhang Yujiang cursed in rage, face grim.
Everyone around watched this scene in disbelief, even Aftershock was shocked and terrified.
It was the first time he had seen such an enraged side of Zhang Yujiang.
Since he had known Zhang Wenjing, he had never seen Zhang Yujiang lay a hand on her!
Just now Zhang Wenjing spoke out against Liang Yuan but got a slap from Zhang Yujiang.
And now before everyone’s eyes, he was beating his daughter savagely.
He could hardly believe his eyes, wondering if he was dreaming.
Was this still the doting father Zhang Yujiang he knew?
Even Aftershock wasn’t as stunned, as were the old-timers who had followed Zhang Yujiang for decades, their jaws dropping in shock.
Yet how could they know, Zhang Yujiang was already under the control of the Soul Imprisonment Rune.
Under the effect of the Soul Imprisonment Rune, Zhang Yujiang’s top priority was no longer his daughter Zhang Wenjing, but rather his master Liang Yuan!
Anyone who dared to offend Liang Yuan, Zhang Yujiang would absolutely not forgive.
Even if it’s his own daughter!
This is the terrifying power of the Soul Imprisonment Rune!
Even someone as powerful as Ling Yurong was tightly controlled by this rune.
Let alone someone like Zhang Yujiang?
At this moment, seeing his daughter Zhang Wenjing dare to shout, Zhang Yujiang’s fury increased further.
He whipped Zhang Wenjing madly, whipping her while cursing: “Beast! Still dare speak disrespectfully? Apologize to Mr. Liang!”
“Apologize! Can you hear me!”
Snap, snap, snap…
After dozens more lashes, Zhang Wenjing, despite her screams, could no longer bear it.
The flames on her body extinguished, and she fainted.
Only then did Zhang Yujiang stop, looking at Liang Yuan, full of unease, he bowed and said: “Mr. Liang, I’m sorry, deeply sorry, it’s my failure to teach, to have such a thing.”
“You can beat or kill her, as you please!”
Liang Yuan looked indifferently at the unconscious Zhang Wenjing and said: “Forget it, I’m not inclined to be upset with a little girl.”
“Take her away.”
“Thank you, thank you, Mr. Liang.” Zhang Yujiang was overjoyed, immediately stepping forward to personally hold his daughter and quickly said: “What are you all looking at? Pay your respects to Mr. Liang.”
Aftershock and others dared not delay, hurriedly bowing to greet.
Several old fellows, originally of the same status as Zhang Yujiang, were suspicious at the same time, but dared not disobey, only bowing their heads.
Liang Yuan watched this scene, his heart mocking coldly, these old foxes were supposed to be in a cooperative relationship with Zhang Yujiang before.
After all, according to Feng Jiangong, these people joined Cloud Mist Island later, forced by the Hawk Faction, they had no choice but to join Zhang Yujiang’s side.
Though they united into the Dove Faction afterwards, with many factions within, many of the old fellows being old hands who only obey orders in name.
In this Ark Plan of Zhang Yujiang’s, these old fellows naturally had a hand in it, leaving together with the Ark.
Now seeing Zhang Yujiang fear Liang Yuan so much, they were full of doubt, yet dared not make a move now.
Only waiting to inquire Zhang Yujiang about what happened in private.
Liang Yuan paid no heed to these people’s filth; for him, once he reached Yangshan, he wouldn’t employ any of them.
If these old folks knew what was good for them and stayed calm without causing trouble, Liang Yuan would give them the chance to enjoy their twilight years in peace.
If they dared to stir up trouble, well, the patrol squads in Yangshan weren’t just for show.
“Alright, everyone back to business. Zhang Yujiang, set sail, let’s return to Cloud Mist Island.”
“Yes, Mr. Liang.”
Zhang Yujiang quickly nodded in agreement.
He turned to Aftershock, saying, “Get the crew to set sail, return to Cloud Mist Island.”
Aftershock quickly nodded, while those below whispered but dared not voice objections.
The entire ark, under such a peculiar atmosphere, began turning towards Cloud Mist Island.
In Zhang Yujiang’s room, he swiftly used his Wood Attribute Superpower to heal his daughter Zhang Wenjing.
With his superpower, treating such superficial wounds was a matter of minutes.
In no time, the skin and flesh injuries on Zhang Wenjing’s body recovered to their original state.
Zhang Yujiang sat on the bench, face cold and unyielding.
A few minutes passed before Zhang Wenjing opened her eyes.
She suddenly sat up and looked up at Zhang Yujiang.
“Dad!”
Then she remembered the previous incident, her eyes turned red, and a wave of grievance rose in her heart, causing tears to fall in big drops.
Usually, as long as she cried, no matter how serious the matter, Zhang Yujiang would undoubtedly come to comfort her.
However, this time, Zhang Yujiang sat there without moving a muscle, even his gaze was icy cold.
This made Zhang Wenjing’s heart sink immediately, unsure of what to do.
“Finished crying?”
Zhang Yujiang rebuked coldly.
Zhang Wenjing’s heart skipped a beat, she looked up at Zhang Yujiang and sobbed, “No! Not finished! I’m going to cry!”
Zhang Yujiang suddenly stood up, scolding, “Cry, cry, all you know is cry! Do you realize you almost died today?”
“You dare to provoke Mr. Liang?”
“Let me tell you, from today onwards, if you dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Liang again, don’t think that you being my daughter will save you. I’d just as easily kill you!”
These cold words made Zhang Wenjing look up in disbelief, staring at the familiar figure who was more familiar to her than anyone else.
Was this still the father who cherished her, treated her as a pearl in his palm?
“Dad! What’s wrong with you?”
“What did that Liang guy do to you that made you treat him better than me?”
Zhang Wenjing screamed in horror.
In haste, she leapt off the bed, ignoring her teary act, grasping her father to check his condition.
However, Zhang Yujiang shook Zhang Wenjing off robustly, reprimanding, “What do you call Mr. Liang?”
“Show some respect! Did you hear me?”
“From today, no, from this moment on, Mr. Liang is my master. If you genuinely care for me as your father, you’ll obey!”
“If you dare annoy Mr. Liang again, don’t blame me for not considering our family ties!”
He snorted coldly, flung his hand, and turned to leave the room.
Zhang Wenjing was pushed down on the floor, watching her father’s cold departing figure, stunned.
“How could this be, how could this be… What did that Liang do to my dad?”
Her eyes flashed with anger, as she stood up instantly; she must investigate what exactly happened to her father.
Liang Yuan and Ling Yurong stood on the deck, looking at the underwater scenery all around.
Nearby were all flooded tall buildings, the once bustling city now submerged in the dark and eerie waters like solitary tombs, eerie and terrifying.
Ling Yurong asked, “Zhang Yujiang’s behavior is a bit strange, even if the Soul Imprisonment Rune has taken effect, he shouldn’t lose his self-awareness completely, right?”
Liang Yuan turned his head, looking at Ling Yurong, said, “Tell me your feelings of being subjected to my Soul Imprisonment Rune.”
Ling Yurong, hearing this, pondered for a moment and said, “Very unpleasant, but instinctively, I’d follow your commands.”
“But my own emotions remain, along with my past memories.”
“I know I can’t defy you, and any bad thoughts against you would instinctively evoke fear, automatically blocking such thoughts.”
“Even producing some thoughts that go against you, this feeling would occur.”
“But it shouldn’t be as extreme as Zhang Yujiang. After all, she is his daughter.”
Liang Yuan appeared to be deep in thought. He was the user of the Soul Imprisonment Rune, so naturally, he wasn’t aware of the feelings of those he had subjected.
But hearing Ling Yurong say this, apparently Zhang Yujiang’s behavior was indeed excessive.
He asked, “Do you think he’s pretending?”
“I don’t know, but whether he’s pretending or not, he certainly can’t go against your will, nor would he dare take actions against you.”
Liang Yuan pondered for a moment and then suddenly smiled: “Why not call him over and ask to clarify?”
Saying so, he turned his head to Aftershock not far away, “Go bring Zhang Yujiang over.”
“Okay.”
Aftershock was still a bit unused to Liang Yuan’s command, nodded quietly, and quickly went to find Zhang Yujiang.
Liang Yuan and Ling Yurong continued their conversation.
He asked, “By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you, during ancient times, did your batch of superpower users ever venture into space?”
“After gene recombination, is there a higher level of evolution?”
Ling Yurong, upon hearing this, nodded slightly: “Of course there is, gene recombination is merely the first qualitative shift in life.”
“Only by leaving the planet, venturing into the stars, can one truly achieve accomplishment in cultivation.”
“Otherwise, you’ll forever be trapped on this mere planet.”
Liang Yuan’s interest was piqued, he immediately asked: “So, above gene recombination, what’s next?”
