Since the leopard master said those words that day, he has never come again, Chen Zhi's body has already recovered and he will no longer continue to receive treatment, but he did not go home, nor did he call his father, he continued to live in the nursing home, and began to prepare for some things.

During this time, he made several phone calls to Muh, asking him to help investigate some of the past and asking him for some confidential information within the country.
Chen Zhi explained to Muhe that when investigating these things, it must be carried out in the dark, and must not show a little bit of sloppiness, and it is best for Muhe to personally preside over the investigation of all important links, and do not let outsiders interfere to prevent the news from leaking out.
Muhe readily agreed, Muhe is such a person, he always does not clearly state his views and attitudes, but he always does not refuse Chen Zhi's request, and his ability is very wide, almost all fields can be involved, as Muhe once said, he is definitely not Chen Zhi's enemy.
Chen Zhi still lived in a nursing home during this time, which was very quiet and secluded, and was in the Bao family's sphere of influence, which was very safe, suitable for calming down and thinking about things and making plans.
The Bao family quickly sent a few people, who were close to Chen Zhi's side, dealing with various things according to Chen Zhi's requirements, investigating some early years, and protecting Chen Zhi's safety with the ghost knife.
Sure enough, as the leopard master said, during this time, the organization summoned Chen Zhi back to discuss the inheritance of the leader, and his attitude was very serious, it seemed that Chen Zhi had important decision-making power in this matter.
But after Chen Zhi returned to the organization this time, he already felt the difference, and everyone looked at Chen Zhi with great respect and admiration.
Whether it was the wolf figure who came to greet him, or all the warriors he saw in the organization, he had a very respectful attitude towards Chen Zhi.
The 12 samurai who went to the underworld with Chen Zhi this time, except for one who had died unexpectedly, the others came back safely, but the spirit of 6 samurai was greatly damaged and they are still being treated, but after the other 5 samurai came back, because of their exploits in the underworld, they gained a high reputation in the organization, the world of samurai is like this, everything is measured by their military merits, and the future and glory of the samurai come from the merits they once established.
Some young new warriors also took the initiative to come over to greet Chen Zhi, saying that they were willing to follow Chen Zhi to the next mission, hoping that they could also establish meritorious deeds and gain status and honors in the organization.
Chen Zhi obviously felt that the kind of gaze that these young warriors looked at him was like they looked at the leader in the past, Chen Zhi knew that his current status was different from the original, he turned the tide when he was in the most danger, rescued everyone from the catastrophe of the last days, established immortal merits, and was the real patriarch of the Jiang clan.
But this time it was different from the past, Chen Zhi did not go around in circles after entering the Xiqi Royal City, but was directly taken to the leader's royal court, which was still smoky, but the huge jade throne was already empty, and there was no longer the old man with the sound of a bell on it, looking at the empty throne, Chen Zhi's heart had a trace of sourness.
No matter what happened and what the purpose of the leader was in doing this, Chen Zhi actually had a trace of nostalgia for the leader in his heart, after all, this old and heroic leader was really admirable.
Ji Yang is not in the royal court either, and Chen Zhi has not seen him since he entered the organization. The old lantern boy took Chen Zhi to the room behind the royal court, and after walking through a few dark passages, he entered a space completely isolated from the Xiqi Royal City, where there was nothing but ruins, but there was a suspended stone staircase in the air, leading straight up.
The stone staircase was made entirely of black stone, with many cracks on it, and in some places it was broken, which showed that it was quite old, and above the stone staircase was a pavilion suspended in the air.
The architectural style of the pavilion is very similar to that of Xiqi Wangcheng, simple and solemn, and there is no trace of gorgeous decoration in sight, just black stone bricks.
Zhou Ji's architectural style is completely different from the extravagance and luxury of the Yin Shang era, Zhou Ji's never built a luxurious palace like Lutai, they only care about war and practicality, the whole Xiqi royal city is like a war fortress, dark and depressing, everything is simple and practical, and there is no concept of art and beauty at all.
The pavilion suspended in the air looked like a military blockhouse, airtight on all sides, made entirely of black stone bricks, and not even the windows could be seen.
But Chen Zhi could feel a powerful aura pressed down from that pavilion, that aura was mixed, from top to bottom, he knew that the people who lived on it must be extraordinary, just like the kind of aura that Chen Zhi had felt from the leader, when a person's cultivation reached a certain level, he could already approach the gods.
After the old lantern boy walked here, he didn't dare to continue to step forward, he knelt at the bottom of the stairs to hold the lamp for Chen Zhi, and motioned for Chen Zhi to continue to go up.
Chen Zhi glanced upward, and then stepped on this long stone step, this black stone step was very strong, when Chen Zhi's feet just stepped on, he immediately felt that ancient and powerful power, and this power instantly spread throughout his body.
Chen Zhi felt at that time that the qi of all the warriors of the Ji family since ancient times, as well as their strong will, were all integrated into this hall, on this black stone staircase, leading to the suspended pavilion above.
Chen Zhi walked up step by step, the more he walked up, the stronger this feeling became, and when he walked nearly 100 meters on foot, he finally saw the main entrance of the floating pavilion at the top of the stairs, and at the main entrance of the pavilion, there was an elderly old lady standing.
This old lady is very old, but very energetic, her face is full of age spots, her body is a little rickety, she looks a little short, judging from the deep wrinkles on her face, it seems that she can be more than 100 years old, or even older.
However, her old body was still wearing steel armor, and her arms were neatly tied with black wristbands, but she did not hold a weapon in her hands.
The old lady's expression was very proud, as if everything in this world was not in her eyes, and after she saw Chen Zhi come up, she first looked at Chen Zhi from top to bottom, and then coughed lightly.
"Ahem!" ,
Her voice is really very loud, like a collision of gold and stone, even a young man in his twenties does not have this momentum of hers,
"You are the child born to the daughter of the Jiang family, Chen Zhi, right?"
