Chapter 24
Triggering a New Mission!

Next, he found a stone as big as a millstone and tried to lift it.

As a result, he lifted the stone, which weighed at least six or seven hundred pounds, easily over his head!

The Zhang family has equipment for practicing stone lifting, and he had only lifted a 500-pound stone lock before, which was very difficult.

But now, he lifted six or seven hundred pounds with ease!

Excited, he threw the big stone.

Wow, he threw the six or seven hundred pound stone more than ten meters away, and it crashed to the ground with a bang, causing the entire ground to shake!

A nest of rats hiding nearby were immediately scared and ran away, and one of them, in a panic, ran towards Zhang Yun Feng.

Zhang Yun Feng didn't hesitate and threw the Black Gold Ancient Sword.

“Whoosh……”

The sound of air breaking came, and the next second, the Black Gold Ancient Sword pierced through the rat's body, nailing it to the rock wall!

The rat kicked its four legs a few times before it stopped moving.

“Killed a hundred-year-old giant rat, rewarded with 1000 Achievement Points!”

After the rat died, Zhang Yun Feng quickly went forward, pulled out the Black Gold Ancient Sword, and wiped the blade on its body.

Then he returned to his lair and opened the system panel.

Suddenly! He felt a moment of confusion, his thoughts were unable to concentrate, and his head felt like it was about to explode!

He quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, running the Eternal Spring Art, regulating his blood and qi, but it had no effect!

In just a short while, his face turned pale, and he knew what was happening to him.

“The year of the Heavenly Mandate is approaching, I must go to the Zhang Family Ancient Tower!”

At that moment, the silent system finally issued a new task!

【Triggering a new plot task, enter the Zhang Family Ancient Tower to sign in, complete the task to gain the - Invincible Vajra Divine Art!】

The system task was released, and driven by fate, he had to go to the Zhang Family Ancient Tower this time!

Considering these, he quickly packed his things, left the Grand Canyon, and prepared to go to the Zhang Family Ancient Tower right now.

The so-called year of the Heavenly Mandate was a special disease passed down from the Zhang family since ancient times, appearing roughly every 20 years.

When the year of the Heavenly Mandate arrived, everyone in the Zhang family would suffer from the disease, resulting in mental confusion, amnesia, or even going crazy!

And the Zhang Qi Ling of every generation, upon becoming clan leader, had to drink a peculiar potion, enter the Zhang Family Ancient Tower during the year of the Heavenly Mandate, solve the family's hidden danger, and bear it all alone.

In this way, the family members could be spared from the Heavenly Mandate disease.

But only Zhang Qi Ling himself, could never escape this disease throughout his life, and would be tormented by it for his entire life!

Therefore, this disease that only troubled Zhang Qi Ling - was also called "Absolute Mandate" by the Zhang family, representing the inability to be cured and death.

According to past experience, the Zhang Qi Ling of each generation would have a 30% chance of dying on the spot when solving the Heavenly Mandate, a 50% chance of amnesia, and a 20% chance of going crazy!

Because he took on all the disasters for the entire family, solving the Heavenly Mandate was an extremely dangerous thing!

To put it bluntly, Zhang Qi Ling was actually a - scapegoat who bore the great disaster for the entire family.

Before Zhang Yun Feng's time travel, his predecessor had already become Zhang Qi Ling and had chosen this fate.

Actually, he did this mainly for Xiao Ge, because if he didn't become Zhang Qi Ling, he would definitely choose Xiao Ge!

The family would always find a scapegoat.

He solved the Heavenly Mandate for the family once, and then he lost his memory for over ten years, becoming a vegetable, which led to the current Zhang Yun Feng.

He absorbed his predecessor's memory completely, so he knew what happened to his predecessor and what the Heavenly Mandate was.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a series of extremely faint noises ahead.

He immediately stopped, his ears twitching constantly, carefully listening to the sounds around him, and found that it was indeed footsteps.

“Who is it? Xiao Ge?” Zhang Yun Feng was stunned.

The other party seemed to have also discovered him, and immediately stopped.

“It should be Xiao Ge.” Zhang Yun Feng thought affirmatively.

He didn't hide, and went directly towards the noise.

Soon, he came to a narrow crevice.

“Yun Guan, is that you?” Zhang Yun Feng called out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure quietly emerged from behind the crevice, it was Xiao Ge, wearing a hooded raincoat!

Seeing his pale face, Xiao Ge quickly stepped forward and helped him up: “Brother, are you okay?”

“The year of the Heavenly Mandate is approaching, so… I have to go to the Expert Drum Tower!” Zhang Yun Feng said firmly.

“I'll go with you!” Xiao Ge said calmly.

Zhang Yun Feng shook his head: “No, I can only do this alone, I must bear it all!”

He pointed his finger outside: “You have to stay here, the Old Nine Gates need your help, and the Zhang family also needs you.”

Xiao Ge didn't say anything, looking at him with a slightly gloomy expression.

Because Xiao Ge knew very well how dangerous it was to go and solve the Heavenly Mandate, the last time his brother went in, he lost his memory for over ten years.

He only woke up last year, and now he has to go solve the Heavenly Mandate again, he could actually understand the despair and powerlessness.

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the stone chamber where the Thousand Li Lock was.

“This place is too dangerous, after I leave, you must guard this place, and don't let anyone in.” Zhang Yun Feng instructed.

Xiao Ge didn't speak, but nodded solemnly.

“Go down, I still have some things to discuss with the Old Nine Gates!”

Zhang Yun Feng went through the gap in the concrete wall.

At this moment, his "Absolute Mandate" reaction had disappeared.

More than an hour later, the two returned to the ground.

Huo Xian Gu, who was watching the scenery by the river, discovered them first, and quickly ran over.

“You're back! Are you alright?”

Huo Xian Gu looked Zhang Yun Feng up and down, left and right, looking particularly carefully, as if afraid that he was missing a single hair!

“I'm fine, you notify the other leaders, I have some things to discuss with them.” Zhang Yun Feng said gently.

“Okay, I'll go and notify everyone right away!”

Huo Xian Gu nodded.

Then she ran happily to inform everyone, she didn't delay at all when it came to Zhang Yun Feng's orders.

“This woman… is quite obedient, huh?” Zhang Yun Feng thought to himself.
