Chapter 1: The Furious Dragon Escapes
le! The War God is so supportive of your Mu family. Your family is poised to become the top family in Longcheng. Remember us hardworking runners when the time comes, Mr. Mu!"Ren Tianxing finished spea..."Chen Ping'an, you gained the favor of female college students under the guise of assisting impoverished students, and then forcibly assaulted seven of the recipients. Forensic evidence was found in their bodies, proving your crimes. This court sentences you to ten years in prison, effective immediately!"
Chen Ping'an, with a canvas bag on his back, stood before the Longcheng Railway Station, recalling the grievances of five years ago when he was wrongfully accused. A growing hatred glimmered in his eyes.
Eight years ago, he helped seven impoverished female college students in his hometown of Jiangzhou.
After sponsoring them for three years, the seven female college students invited him to dinner as a thank you, got him drunk on purpose, and took him to a hotel.
The next day he inexplicably found himself being sued by the seven female college students. Faced with irrefutable evidence, he was ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison.
Misfortune and fortune often go hand in hand. While imprisoned, he encountered his master who was dying from practicing martial arts too intensely, having gone mad with power. He learned the unparalleled medical art of the Nine Dragons Medical Canon, which could bring even dead flesh and bone back to life.
Yesterday, he was released from prison early due to good behavior.
I thought that after I was released from prison, I could be reunited with my family. However, when I returned to my old home in Jiangzhou, I found that there was no one at home.
According to my neighbor, my mom and sister were taken away by a group of strangers two years ago. No one knows where they were taken.
In order to find his mother and sister, Chen Pingan remembered the archaic Zhuanglong Ring that his master had given him before he died.
Before his death, the master entrusted that this Dragon-Burial Ring could hold a total of nine golden needles. As long as one collects the first golden needle, one can learn the secret medical art of the Dragon-Burial Hall - the Nine Dragons Medical Canon. Now, the first golden needle is in his hand, and he has already learned the Nine Dragons Medical Canon.
As long as a second Golden Needle can be collected, one can learn the ultimate skill of the Zanglong Palace, the Phoenix Controlling Art. Once mastered, it will make one invincible in the world.
Once you collect three golden needles, you can inherit the immense wealth of the Burial Dragon Palace.
You can obtain the Book of Myriad Forms after collecting four Golden Needles.
Five Golden Needles collected can summon the five fearsome Kings under the command of the Burial Dragon Hall.
Having collected six golden needles, one can inherit the information network spanning the globe within the Dragon Burial Hall.
With seven golden needles collected, you can find the headquarters of the Dragon's Burial Hall.
Collecting eight Golden Needles will unlock the entrance to the Dragon's Tomb.
Collecting nine golden needles can awaken the nine True Dragons buried in the Zànglóng Hall, realizing one wish!
Chen Ping'an went to Longcheng alone in order to collect more than six gold needles. He used the Zànglóng Diàn's intelligence network to find his mother and sister.
Because the second and third gold needles are in the hands of the old master of the Mu family, a newly established wealthy family in Longcheng.
Thinking this, Chen Pingan walked out of the train station and waved down a car.
"Hey, little brother, where are you headed" the driver was very enthusiastic.
"Mujiacun Estate."
The driver was taken aback by Chen Ping'an's words and continued, "Sir, are you going to pay respects to Mr. Mu Xinbo, the elder"
"Mourning"
"Mu Xinbo is dead"
Chen Ping'an was taken aback, then asked with a grim expression.
The second and third golden needles are in Mu Xinbo's hands. If he dies, where would I go to find the needles
"Yeah, just what they said on the broadcast, the founder of the newly emerged wealthy family in Longcheng, Mu Xinxiao, aka Old Master Mu from the Mu Group, passed away the day before yesterday. His funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 pm!"
According to rumors, Old Master Mu was poisoned to death because his Mu Corporation and an old-fashioned aristocratic family were competing for a major project. Even the renowned national doctor, Divine Doctor Hu, was powerless!
"The Mu family even built a super-low temperature cryogenic coffin for Old Master Mu, freezing his body..."
The driver told Chen Ping'an the news he had heard on the backroads.
"Get in the car now, arrive at Mu's estate before 2 pm. This money is yours!"
Chen Ping'an said, putting a wad of money into the driver's hand.
This money was earned by him treating the guards while he was in prison. It wasn't much, just a few thousand dollars!
"Brother, rest assured, I guarantee to get you to Mu's house before two o'clock and let you see Old Master Mu for the last time!"
The driver glanced at the wad of cash and immediately changed his address for Chen Ping'an, from "younger brother" to "bro."
After saying that, he stepped on the gas pedal. The taxi sped away. At 1:59 PM, it came to a smooth stop in front of a sprawling manor covering several acres.
The signboard above the door bore the two large characters "Mu Fu" with a flourish, dancing and lively.
On the lintel hung white silk crepe, and from within came waves of mournful lamentation and sobs.
Then Chen Pingan walked in like that.
At a glance, several members of the Mu family were kneeling in mourning before the spirit altar, wearing white robes and headbands. Several servants were about to seal the coffin and carry it away for burial.
"We cannot seal the coffin!" Chen Ping'an's voice was not loud, but it seemed to possess a kind of magic, clearly transmitting into everyone's ears.
Suddenly, all eyes in the mourning hall turned to him. Even the Mu family members who had been crying and mourning stopped their sobs and looked at Chen Pingan walking in from outside.
She had short hair and an old canvas bag slung over her shoulder. Her clothes looked clean but faded, as if they had been washed many times.
Mu Jiannan, the eldest son of Old Master Mu, stepped forward and shouted, “Who are you The time for condolences has passed. Get out of the way and don’t delay the auspicious hour for my father’s burial!”
"I'm not here to mourn. I'm here to collect from Mu Xinbo. He can't die until he returns what he owes me!"
As soon as Chen Ping'an said this, everyone present was stunned.
The Mu Group has a market value of tens of billions, and Mu Xinyu, the Mu elder, is the founder of the Mu Group. How could he possibly owe a debt to a young man
This kid is clearly a troublemaker sent by our enemies!
Every member of the Mu family looked at Chen Ping'an with anger.
"Boy, my father has no grievances with you. You dare to make trouble on the day of his funeral Do you really think our Mu family is easy to bully!"
"Come here, throw this bastard out and break his legs!"
Mu Jiannan issued an order, and several servants around him immediately rushed towards Chen Ping'an. Each of their faces was filled with anger.
Old Master Mu treated them well in his lifetime. If we don't give this scoundrel a memorable lesson, we would all be betraying Old Master Mu's kindness during his life.
Chen Ping'an stood fearless on the spot.
Before they could reach him, he flicked a few silver needles from his hand. The servants suddenly felt their legs go weak and collapsed to the ground together.
This scene dropped everyone's jaws.
By the time everyone reacted, Chen Ping'an had already arrived at Old Mu's coffin.
"I'm not going to die just because I haven't gotten what I want yet! It's not that easy!"
Chen Pingan looked at Old Master Mu lying in the cryogenic coffin, and muttered softly.
Then, he drew out the only golden needle from his hand-held Zànglóng Ring and without hesitation, inserted it into Old Mu's Heavenly Court acupoint on his forehead.
With the other hand, he rhythmically tapped on Old Master Mu's chest.
"You bastard! You dare touch my father's body I will kill you!"
“...”
The deceased are paramount, and when the Mu family saw Chen Ping'an's actions, one by one they showed anger and wanted to go forward and kill Chen Ping'an.
"Cough cough!"
But just then, a cough suddenly came from inside the coffin.g in pain. It had almost lost all combat effectiveness."Iron Bull, you piece of trash! You can't even handle a nobody, what use am I paying so much to keep you around!"Seeing his strongest bodyguard,...
