33: Demigod takes action!

Chang'an Base City.

Zhang Fan's home.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Hongcheng slammed his phone onto the coffee table, a little exasperated.

"I'm going to the Wilderness Area!"

Yang Ling walked straight out.

Although her son's message was brief, the information it contained was explosive for her as a mother!

He's being hunted!

Come save him now!!!

Especially since the call cut out halfway, losing signal—didn't that mean her son had been attacked?

Had he already met with misfortune?

Yang Ling didn't dare to think!

At this moment, she had only one thought: to rush to her son's side immediately and rescue him from the villains!

"Don't panic!"

Although Zhang Hongcheng was anxious, he didn't panic; instead, he was very calm.

He grabbed his wife and demanded:

"Do you know where Zhang Fan is? How far is it from the Base City? Will we make it in time if we go now?"

Zhang Hongcheng's three soul-stirring questions left Yang Ling stunned, her eyes red: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"At a time like this, we absolutely cannot panic! At least we cannot panic!"

Zhang Hongcheng pressed his wife down onto the sofa and said in a deep voice:

"I just checked our son's location. His last known position was in Liquan County, over eighty kilometers from the Base City!"

"At such a long distance, by the time we get there, the day lilies will be cold!"

"Then what do we do?"

Yang Ling burst into tears: "Husband, you must think of a way, Zhang Fan can't be in trouble!"

"He's my lifeblood. If anything happens to him, I... I won't live either... Woo..."

"Don't worry! I have a way!"

Zhang Hongcheng flipped his right hand, and a box appeared in his hand.

He opened the box, revealing a golden hair inside.

This golden hair was very thick, as thick as a hemp rope, and entirely golden, as if twisted from gold.

Yang Ling stopped crying and looked at the golden hair in her husband's hand, as if seeing a life-saving straw, her eyes full of hope.

Zhang Hongcheng took a deep breath and injected Congenital One Qi into the golden hair.

"Buzz—"

The golden hair, like fine gold threads, immediately burst forth with dazzling golden light, illuminating the faces of Zhang Hongcheng and his wife, and filling the living room with a golden glow.

The golden light ascended, forming a faint, indistinct figure.

Through the golden light, one could vaguely see that the figure was a burly, handsome middle-aged man with golden hair, golden eyebrows, and a majestic countenance.

"Fourth Child, why do you seek me?"

"Father!"

Zhang Hongcheng immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "My son, Zhang Fan, is being hunted. Please help him!"

"Father, please save Zhang Fan!" Yang Ling cried, pleading.

"Your son?"

The figure in the golden light frowned slightly: "You sought me for a blood exchange last time, was it for him?"

"Yes, Father!"

Zhang Hongcheng nodded repeatedly.

"Awakened?"

Zhang Xuanling said indifferently.

"Awakened!"

Zhang Hongcheng nodded.

"You certainly value this son. For his sake, you've asked me twice. Do you know that the three golden hairs I gave you are very precious!"

Zhang Xuanling couldn't help but say.

"Father, I know that!"

Zhang Hongcheng said with red eyes: "But Zhang Fan is my only son. Please, for the sake of him being your grandson, lend a hand and save him!"

How could Zhang Hongcheng not know the importance of the three golden hairs?

When he offered that treasure to his father, his father was overjoyed and bestowed a large amount of resources, not only helping him break through to the Golden Core Realm in one go but also gifting him three golden hairs.

Each of the three golden hairs allowed him to request his father's assistance once!

A demigod's chance to act!

And it was three times; the preciousness of the golden hairs was self-evident!

One must know that his father was devoted to cultivation, and unless it was a major matter of racial extinction, even his own sons dared not disturb him casually.

Yet, his father bestowed upon him three golden hairs, which showed how precious they were!

But two of those times, Zhang Hongcheng had used them on his son!

The last one, he exchanged for demigod blood from his father.

This time, it was to ask his father to save his son's life!

Zhang Xuanling was noncommittal about his fourth son's words: "I've given you the opportunities; how you use them is your freedom!"

"When you use them, and for whom, has nothing to do with me!"

"But there are only three opportunities. Once they're used up, there are no more!"

"Where is your son now?"

Before her husband could answer, Yang Ling eagerly replied: "Liquan County! Father, Zhang Fan is in Liquan County!"

"Wait for my news!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xuanling's figure disappeared from the living room.

The golden light dispersed, and the golden glow filling the room vanished with it, leaving behind the excited, expectant, yet worried couple.

"Husband, with your father's help, he should be able to save Zhang Fan, right?"

Yang Ling said, full of worry.

"As long as Zhang Fan is still alive, it will definitely be foolproof!"

Zhang Hongcheng said decisively: "I'm just afraid that Zhang Fan..."

"Bah, bah, bah! Zhang Fan must still be alive, he must be fine!"

Yang Ling glared angrily at her husband.

"Right, right! Zhang Fan will definitely be fine, good fortune favors him!"

Zhang Hongcheng quickly corrected himself, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish.

With his father Zhang Xuanling's strength, as long as Zhang Fan was still alive, there was no doubt he would be saved!

The fear was that Zhang Fan had already met with misfortune; in that case, even if his father went, it would be useless!

A demigod, after all, was not a god; he could not bring the dead back to life!

...

Zhang Fan didn't know that his parents had even called upon the demigod grandfather, whom he had only met a few times, to save him.

At this moment, the starry sky z9 slowly approached the three of them.

The burly figure standing on the car roof stared at them coldly, especially at Zhang Fan, who was held in the Five-Clawed Black Dragon's hand.

Zhang Fan and the other two also looked at the person, quickly recognizing him.

The captain of the Ming Snake Monster Hunter Squad—Liu Changqing!

Zhang Fan had seen Liu Changqing's name online more than once.

Liu Changqing, 48 years old this year, was born in the third year of the Great Cataclysm.

When Liu Changqing was 6 years old, his father died of illness, and his mother took him, hiding and living precariously in the sewers!

That was during the early stages of the Great Cataclysm, when human society was like an apocalypse!

Apocalypse!

What does apocalypse mean?

Titan Beasts were certainly terrifying!

But even more terrifying were the series of survival problems caused by the collapse of social Order and the disintegration of the legal system.

Hunger, disease, crime, slaughter, human greed...

It was an era where everyone was starving, and everyone lived day to day.

For a bite to eat, people would sell their bodies, fight with wild dogs for food...

It was an era that could turn good people into starving ghosts!

The plight of a woman with a 6-year-old child was unimaginable!

In such a desperate situation, after struggling until he was 8, Liu Changqing finally awakened!

And what he awakened was the top-tier Titan Transformation—Ming Snake Transformation!

Ming Snake, in myths and legends, is a divine beast with four wings!

Relying on the Ming Snake Transformation, Liu Changqing rose steadily, not only surviving but also establishing a force by becoming a warlord in Suzhou.

Heroes emerge in troubled times!

The Three Kingdoms period, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the late Sui and early Tang, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms...

Every chaotic period in history gave birth to many heroes!

In that chaotic era, many ambitious individuals also emerged in China!

There were many self-proclaimed kings, like Liu Changqing, who wanted to establish their own territories.

Later, the state stabilized Order and began to subdue various forces within the country.

Facing the government's call to submit, Liu Changqing initially resisted.

However, although Liu Changqing was strong, the government had even stronger experts under its command!

After being taught a lesson, Liu Changqing completely settled down, obediently disbanded his forces, and became a Monster Hunter!

But Liu Changqing's reputation has spread since then.

As netizens put it, this was a figure who had once been a leader, a warlord similar to Cao Cao or Li Zicheng!

A person's name, a tree's shadow!

Facing such a person, Zhang Fan could not remain composed!

"Are you from the Chang'an Zhang Family?" Liu Changqing stared at Zhang Fan, his face cold, but his brows furrowed into a frown.

The Chang'an Zhang Family...
