"It has been so long since I've been back…" Chen Heng said softly as he looked at the castle before him.
This was the Doyle family's castle.
In this continent, the Doyle family's power was quite great, and it had a large territory.
Chen Heng's grandfather Griffin even had the title of Duke, and he was famous among both mortals and Sorcerers.
As such, their castle was incredibly big.
Despite the castle being quite big, the atmosphere it gave off was quite cold and eerie.
Chen Heng could sense that the castle was filled with mental impurities, and one could faintly hear screams and crying.
If one stayed in such a place for long, even an ordinary person would have their minds corrupted; this was the result of researching negative energy for a long time.
Far too many people had died here, and they had given off dense negative energy due to Griffins' cruel methods, marking this area.
Chen Heng was still not used to this atmosphere, and it made him quite unfortable.
In the past, similar things had happened in the Hunter's House but not as serious.
Apart from a few true Sorcerers who researched negative energy, everyone else was quite normal.
That was why the mental impurities there were not as bad.
However, because of his past experiences, Chen Heng was already used to it.
Looking at this familiar castle, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he walked in.
"Young master Ed."
The Doyle family's people were already waiting inside.
A middle-aged man dressed in black robes respectfully stood there, waiting for Chen Heng.
Seeing Chen Heng walk in, he hurriedly came to Chen Heng's side.
"Please e with me," he said as he led the way.
Chen Heng did not say anything and only peacefully nodded.
This was how things were within the castle.
Because of Griffin, most people in the castle were quite apathetic and gloomy.
As such, it was normal for Chen Heng to act like this around them.
As Chen Heng watched on, the middle-aged man slowly walked ahead.
In the end, he led Chen Heng to a room.
"Lord Griffin is resting inside," the middle-aged man said respectfully.
"I understand," Chen Heng nodded and did not hesitate as he walked in.
After walking in, he was hit by a dense smell.
It was the smell of medicine, as well as blood, making one feel disgusted.
Smelling this, Chen Heng instinctively frowned and felt like vomiting.
Within the room was a large bed, on which an elderly man was lying. He looked like he was asleep and seemed quite peaceful.
It was the grandfather of Chen Heng's body, the head of the Doyle family, Griffin.
Chen Heng walked over and looked at Griffin.
He looked incredibly pale and his body gave off a strange smell.
On his body, there were strange mental ripples, causing Chen Heng to frown.
"What a chaotic feeling…"
Looking at Griffin and sensing those chaotic mental ripples, Chen Heng frowned and did not know what to say.
The mental ripples contained a trace of madness within them, giving Chen Heng a bad feeling.
Ordinary people's mental ripples would be quite stable, and this was so for Sorcerers as well.
However, unstable mental ripples meant that one's emotions were extremely turbulent or their personality was incredibly twisted.
From what Chen Heng could sense, this was the case with Griffin's mental state; for whatever reason, he had bee somewhat mad.
Standing in front of the bed, Chen Heng noticed that there were many traces of dried blood around the room. Even though they were all dried, he could tell that they were quite recent.
If he observed closely, he could even find some specks of flesh among the blood.
Seeing this, Chen Heng fell into his thoughts and spaced out a bit.
A large hand stretched out, looking incredibly withered.
Griffin had suddenly sat up, a bloodthirsty and twisted look on his face. His body gave off chaotic magic power ripples as he grabbed towards Chen Heng.
His strength was quite great and did not look like he was holding back, as if he wanted to rip Chen Heng in half.
It was at that moment, a bit of magic power ripples appeared from Chen Heng.
A barrier that he had set up in advance activated, blocking Griffin's hand and making it so that he could not touch Chen Heng.
Chen Heng gave a long sigh.
Chen Heng silently grabbed Griffin's arm and pressed it down.
The strength in Griffin's arm was quite great, and it could almost rival that of a Great Knight's.
It was just that under Chen Heng's strength, this arm seemed quite weak and was suppressed by him.
"It's already e to this?"
Looking at the twisted-looking Griffin staring at him, Chen Heng sighed and thought to himself.
It was evident that Griffin's mind had greatly decayed, causing him to bee mad.
Before this, many people had most likely been ripped apart by him.
"You… die!"
Griffin's voice sounded out, sounding like a roar.
