One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 949 Shangqing Maoshan, Paying Homage to the Patriarch

Yuan Tiangang sneered: "So that's how it is. It seems you've gotten what you wanted, Ying Gou."

The Bad Guys had once cooperated with the Four Corpse Ancestors, so Yuan Tiangang was naturally aware of the aftereffects left on Ying Gou after he went mad from practicing the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art.

Ying Gou fulfilled his wish, and apart from the surrendered minister who tried to reverse life and death, the remaining two Corpse Ancestors, Chi Di Qian Li Han Ba ​​and Xue Ran He Shan Hou Qing, had relatively low obsessions.

Hanba only wanted to find a confidant, while Hou Qing preferred style and being dashing. He liked any skill or technique that could enhance his 'taste' and 'demeanor'.

A while ago, he even tried to become a disciple of Longhu Mountain and a successor of the Zhengyi sect.

Not in order to learn the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, but simply to obtain the Golden Light Mantra that shines with golden light and looks like a god when cast!
Hou Qing is a Taoist acolyte at Longhu Mountain, while Hanba has found a lover who cherishes him and is spending time with his wife and children. That's why only the surrendered minister and Ying Gou are here.

Ying Gou had no interest in answering Yuan Tiangang's question. Excited, he slightly curled his fingers, turning them into claws, surrounded by blood energy, and transforming his fingers into five brutal chainsaw blades.

The Blood Blade is not just sharp; the wounds it inflicts are like those cut open by a chainsaw or torn apart by a wild beast, becoming bloody and difficult to heal.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"

"At the hour of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai, the Golden Well is ten thousand feet deep. By order of Heaven's Opening, by order of Earth's Breaking. Commanding the Thunder Soldiers, Wind and Thunder arrive instantly. The Five Sacred Mountains tremble, the Four Seas are overturned, dragons rise from the vast ocean, and ten thousand miles of dark clouds gather, the clouds cannot disperse, the wind cannot cease. Clouds fill the eight directions, the four heavens are congested, so be it!"

A Taoist chant was heard, followed by a faint talismanic light. The clouds and mist fell into the Maoshan Mountain peaks, transforming into a thick, dark, and pervasive fog, as dark as a wall and as dense as a curtain, silent and imperceptible.

Yang Yu, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect Leader, emerged from the mist, his fingertips still bearing traces of innate energy, which transformed into the shimmering blue light of ink used for drawing talismans.

"Distinguished guests, there are still many civilians and believers staying at Yuanfu Wanning Palace. Please refrain from using weapons to avoid harming innocent people!"

Beyond the thick fog, in front of the statue of Laozi at Yuanfu Wanning Palace, pilgrims and believers were already subtly stirring.

Just now, Yuan Tiangang and Ying Gou unleashed their murderous aura without any restraint, which frightened most of the tourists who were just ordinary people, stirring up the fear rooted in their blood, leaving them standing still, their legs unable to obey their commands.

After Yang Yu summoned the clouds and mist to separate Yuan Tiangang and Ying Gou from the ordinary people, these people finally recovered from their extreme terror, with children crying and shouting.

Disciples of the Shangqing School have gone to appease the crowd, using calming mantras to soothe the emotions of those still in shock, while subtly asking some of the more alert people to put down their phones and not record.

Yang Yu then led his disciples Fa Chi and Fa Kui to deal with the culprit.

As the next leader of the Shangqing Sect, he should step forward to handle this matter in the absence of the current leader, Yang Ming.

Yuan Tiangang and Ying Gou both came from the late Tang Dynasty, a time when human life was cheap. One was Yuan Tiangang, the leader of the Bad People, who was known for catching adulterers and punishing criminals without prior approval. The other was Ying Gou, the Corpse Ancestor of the Xuanming Sect, who rose to power during the chaos of war and once seized control of the court.

Neither of them cared much about the opinions of ordinary people. Unlike modern superhumans, the two dared to start fighting in front of so many people!
They disregarded the possibility of accidental injury and the opinions of the public.

Although Yang Yu temporarily stopped the two from fighting, he had little confidence in whether he could persuade these two battle maniacs.

Because of their special status, Yang Yu even had to resort to politeness first, then force.
He first carefully examined Yuan Tiangang's face before straightening his clothes and solemnly bowing to Yuan Tiangang. He then led Fa Chi and Fa Kui in performing the Taoist salute to Yuan Tiangang.
"Yang Yu, a disciple of the Shangqing School, pays respects to Grandmaster Yuan Tiangang."

The Shangqing School inherited the "Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts" created by Yuan Tiangang, as well as the "Huangting Scripture" and "Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture" which were improved by him and Li Chunfeng. Thanks to their grace, the Shangqing School has always worshipped Yuan Tiangang as its patriarch, and incense has been burned continuously.

Today, the living patriarch has appeared at Maoshan. Yang Yu, representing Shangqing Maoshan, who is receiving Yuan Tiangang, must, of course, treat him with utmost respect.

"..." Yuan Tiangang was silent for a while before speaking, "Shangqing School, what an ancient term. The last time someone called me that was Li Chunfeng."

In the world of Bad Guys, Yuan Tiangang commands a massive spy organization, and apart from Li Chunfeng, few people know anything about Yuan Tiangang's background.

Yang Yu shrank back, as if he was bent over by the weight of history that Yuan Tiangang casually mentioned.

A single casual remark from one of the founders can become another founder, yet Hu Xiuwu actually intends for the Shangqing School to teach and restrain their founders.

Is the patriarch a troublemaker?

"Junior brother! Junior brother! You've really given me a huge problem."

Yang Yu felt a bitter taste rising in her mouth and heart.
This job is no easy task, but he is currently the highest-ranking disciple of the Shangqing Sect remaining in Maoshan in the mortal realm. He is a candidate for the next sect leader, and he cannot shirk this responsibility like his junior brother.

Only he was qualified to receive Ying Gou and Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang asked, "Was what you just chanted the incantation of 'Mist Obscuring the Sun'?"

Yang Yu respectfully said, "It is the [Mist-Covering Sun Mantra] from the Fahai Lost Pearl. By adding the mantra to the [Mist-Covering Sun Talisman], the power of the talisman can be multiplied."

Only after its power is multiplied can it not only conceal Ying Gou and Yuan Tiangang's figures, but also isolate the killing intent released by Yuan Tiangang and Ying Gou.

To prevent the murderous aura released by Ying Gou and Yuan Tiangang from further provoking the crowd.

Yang Yu turned and stretched out his hand toward the winding stone steps behind him, inviting Yuan Tiangang: "We have received the Emperor's decree and are aware of your arrival. We have prepared a residence and books for you. Please follow me!"

To Yang Yu's surprise, Yuan Tiangang surprisingly withdrew his murderous intent and, without using his lightness skill, strolled over like an ordinary person. Yang Yu had already prepared to subtly dissuade Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang was skilled in physiognomy and bone analysis, able to discern profound meanings from subtle details. Knowing what Yang Yu was thinking, he slowly spoke:
“Emperor Taizong often said that the people are like water; water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. You have truly put this saying into practice, so how could I possibly go against Emperor Taizong’s principles?”

Under the soothing words of the surrendered officials, Ying Gou reluctantly suppressed her murderous intent. She longed to confront Yuan Tiangang and witness the power of the Bad Commander accumulated over three hundred years.

As for the older sister, seeing that Yuan Tiangang had calmed down, she reverted to her usual quirky and carefree personality, taking photos of everyone with her phone to create a nine-grid collage, which she then paired with the captions she posted.

In her WeChat Moments, it's another day that her older sister saved the world.
