The Ghost of Fog
Chapter 53. Lifting a Student
Zhang Hongli then told him about his past. The story of why he did not return to the Zhang family.
So, when he had left suddenly from the Zhang family, in fact this Zhang Hongli had gone to a place to fight against his enemies, where they came from the black stream. While he, aided by one of his best friends, he fought them in that place.
There was a fierce fight at that time until one day and one night. And the last person who was still able to stand was Zhang Hongli.
Even though it is safe, but the situation is not at all okay. Because at that time this grandfather also suffered internal injuries that were so severe that when he went down the top of the mountain where he fought, it took up to two weeks, so severe injuries suffered.
When he had reached the mountainside, that was when he began to recuperate by meditating and healing his wounds.
For years Zhang Hongli recuperated on the slopes of the mountain to restore his strength as it was. And when he was fully healed and healthy, Zhang Hongli decided to go home.
But the first sight he saw was a lot of human skulls that filled the entire family. At that time, this grandfather became like a madman, he walked around by continuing to call the name of his son and ex, also not to forget the name of his grandson.
For seven days he was in such a condition. Zhang Hongli finally tried to accept the reality. He knew from the beginning that his family had been destroyed as he had seen it, however, this grandfather completely rejected it and continued to convince himself that the skulls were the skulls of the robbers who attacked the Zhang family. That's why in the last week he looked like a madman.
With tears still flowing, Zhang Hongli buried the skulls. He felt very sorry why he did not go home and instead preferred to restore strength rather than family.
But the rice has become porridge. Finally with a heavy heart, Zhang Hongli left his family and had absolutely no purpose in life. Want to take revenge? He thinks it's not that important. Back then, he had completely lost his way and was just walking regardless of where he was going.
Then he arrived in the Red Forest and decided to stay here until the end of his life.
"But after seeing your arrival, and knowing that my grandson is still alive. It was as if a light was shining on me. Right now, it seems that I still have a purpose to live in this world a little longer" Zhang Hongli said with a smile.
His smile this time was truly a happy smile. A smile full of novelty and happiness of a grandfather who misses his grandson very much.
"Haha....Lin Tian, I think you are indeed a strong person, very strong even. But do you know, Ling Haochun the 'Fire Poison Devil' is smarter than he looks? Have you ever clashed with him? If yes, seeing you alive until now, maybe he hasn't really been fighting you" said the grandfather excitedly.
On the other side, Lin Tian frowned. "Ling Haochun? Demon Poison Fire? Who's she?" ask in your heart with curiosity.
"Wait for Master, but who was Ling Haochun the Fire Poison Demon just now?" finally, Lin Tian asked.
"Huh..you don't know? Heh young man!! The one who ganged on you yesterday was Ling Haochun, the shrewd Fire Poison Demon!"
"But which one is Ling Haochun? Couldn't it be if all those people were named Ling Haochun?" back Lin Tian asked.
"Huh..you really don't know? He was the swordsman who was dressed in black, and wore a red mask!" zhang Hongli replied grumbling.
It was very different from before who always spoke slowly and calmly. This time, he spoke with a tone full of vigor and fiery eyes. It seems that this one grandfather was very happy to hear the news that his only grandson was still alive.
"Oh.so he's the Fire Poison Devil. It's only fitting that I can still compensate even if only in a desperate situation, it turns out that all this time he has never been serious against me?"
"Hm...you mean Zhang Heng? Damn traitor!! Damned bastard son!! I'm sure the destruction of the Zhang family is the cause" Zhang Hongli said in anger.
Lin Tian clenched his hands tightly. He also agreed with this statement of grandfather in front of him.
"I also agree with you, sir. I have not liked him before. But why didn't you chase yesterday and let him go?" asked Lin Tian.
"I told you before, before your arrival, I just wanted to stay here until death. When I saw my second son's face earlier, even though I wanted to teach him a lesson, but I paled my intention because I thought it was just a waste of time. However, once you come and find out that Feng'er is still alive, then from today on, I will change my perspective and I will help you to avenge all their deeds!!" zhang Hongli replied firmly.
After which, Zhang Hongli suddenly frowned seemingly in thought. Lin Tian who realized this then immediately asked.
"Sir what's wrong?"
"Hm...Lin Tian, perhaps in the future, your enemy is those eight Hell Pillars. If for your current strength, you are nothing to them, let alone to the first person of the Pillar of Hell." Zhang Hongli explained.
"Who was the first man, sir?" asked Lin Tian.
"I don't know her name, but she calls herself "Golden Dragon". Reportedly, his strength was even about the same as that of one World King Silat warrior. You have to be careful, son."
"What's? Did I hear wrong? Almost equal to one World King Silat warrior? Almost? The strongest person from the Hell Pillar of his strength was still 'almost' equal to a single Silat World King? No kidding!! Then what about the strongest person from the Silat World King?" inner Lin Tian was full of astonishment and question marks.
Lin Tian of course knew about the people nicknamed World King Silat. These were five men of which three were black, and two were white.
This is not a strange thing. World King Silat was very famous, even more famous than the Pillar of Hell which had also appeared in the martial world. However, all the people of the martial world did not know the names of the five great warriors, not even the face of knowing, because the World King Silat is famous for the distinctive features of his mask from each swordsman.
Conceivably, if the strongest person from the Pillar of Hell alone his strength 'almost' equaled that of a single person from the Silat World King, then how powerful were those five people actually.
"Then from that, I decided." Zhang Hongli said as he got up from the seat.
Lin Tian still remained seated and looked on in confusion.
"Lin Tian, become my disciple so that you can face all of them!!!" he said loudly and firmly while pointing at Lin Tian's face.
Lin Tian who was treated like that was only able to open his mouth wide so astonished and surprised.
