Chapter 3872: Hitting Me Again?

"Your Old Ancestor's corpse? Are you asking me? Hah!" Zhuge Wen gritted his teeth and said viciously.

Good grief.

Zhuge Wen finally understood why Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had come looking for him; it must have been Ancestor Xiahou who set him up.

"You, you, you… it was you who stole the corpse of our Ancestor Xiahou Yan!" Ancestor Xiahou pointed at Zhuge Wen and said through gritted teeth.

"Heh… don't go making baseless accusations. I'm telling you, it definitely wasn't me." Zhuge Wen sneered. He felt very fortunate in his heart that he hadn't opened the black gold coffin back then, otherwise, he would be in big trouble now.

Of course. At the same time, Zhuge Wen was even more curious about what exactly was inside the black gold coffin that made it worthy of Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan intervening personally.

"At that time… I fought you, and you ran away. After you left, the black gold coffin of our Ancestor Xiahou Yan was also gone. If it wasn't you, then who could it be?!" Ancestor Xiahou said viciously, gnashing his teeth.

"You want to frame me just because of that? Is your Xiahou Family unreasonable? Hah!" Hearing this, Zhuge Wen was furious. "I could just as well say that you hid it yourself and then deliberately framed me!"

"You, you, you…"

Hearing the dispute between Zhuge Wen and Ancestor Xiahou, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly.

"What else happened at that time?"

There must be something suspicious about this matter, so Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan intended to listen to both sides recount the events from the beginning.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Xiahou and Zhuge Wen repeated what had happened back then exactly as it occurred.

"Right, at that time I… I felt a presence, I just wasn't sure about it."

Suddenly, Zhuge Wen recalled the anomaly from that time; he had sensed a fluctuation in Qi.

But there really was no one there at the time, so Zhuge Wen had always thought he had misperceived it, perhaps due to being too nervous.

"A presence…" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan muttered upon hearing this.

"That's right, it was just a strange presence. I don't know what it was… it appeared suddenly and then vanished." Zhuge Wen thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan nodded and didn't say much else.

After hearing the whole sequence of events again, and since Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan had already searched Zhuge Wen's body earlier, it was certain that the black gold coffin was not on him.

"Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, I am innocent. Can you let me go now?!" Zhuge Wen said pitifully.

"No, Venerable. This person is guilty of heinous crimes. If it weren't for him… the black gold coffin of our Ancestor Xiahou Yan definitely wouldn't have been lost. It's all his fault!" Ancestor Xiahou said viciously, gnashing his teeth.

"You, you… don't frame me, do you hear? Hah!" Zhuge Wen said viciously, gritting his teeth.

"Who is framing you? I am clearly stating the facts!"

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan shook his head helplessly and said calmly, "Zhuge Wen, you will help me investigate where the black gold coffin went and find the corpse of Xiahou Yan. Do you hear me? If you can't find it, you should know the consequences…"

"Ah? This… alright, alright. Since it is a task ordered by the Venerable, I will certainly carry it out."

Hearing this, Zhuge Wen was stunned at first. He had originally wanted to refuse, but after considering it…

It would be better to agree first and let himself escape for now.

However, Zhuge Wen had underestimated the methods of Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan flicked his finger, and the Pseudo-Emperor's Qi entered Zhuge Wen's body, leaving a mark on his Divine Soul.

"From now on, no matter where you are, I can find you… do you hear me?" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said calmly.

Zhuge Wen: "…"

"Yes." Zhuge Wen nodded with a dark face.

Good grief.

He had no way out now; he had actually been targeted by a Pseudo-Emperor.

To the side, Ancestor Xiahou laughed loudly, in a great mood.

"Haha… Zhuge Wen, you didn't expect this, did you? You actually have a day like this!" Ancestor Xiahou laughed out loud.

"Get lost!" Zhuge Wen gritted his teeth and said viciously.

At this moment, Zhuge Wen hated Ancestor Xiahou to the core. It was because the other party had offended him back then that Zhuge Wen had come to the Xiahou Family, intending to steal the coffin in their Family's high tower.

As a result, he had actually provoked Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan!

Now look at this; he had a mark from Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan on his Divine Soul. He wouldn't be able to resist in the future, otherwise, with just a single thought from Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, his life would be at risk.

"Hehehe… Zhuge Wen, make sure to find the corpse of our Ancestor Xiahou Yan for our Xiahou Family, do you hear me?!"

Ancestor Xiahou showed a gloating smile.

Zhuge Wen wanted to talk back and fiercely berate Ancestor Xiahou a few times.

However, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan could not bear it any longer and slapped out with his palm, sending Ancestor Xiahou flying away.

"Pfft… Venerable, why… are you hitting me again?" Ancestor Xiahou looked bewildered.

"Trash, you can't even protect the corpse of your own Family's Old Ancestor, and now you have to rely on an outsider to find it. Do you think you deserve to be hit?!" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said viciously, gritting his teeth.
