Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 609: The incident ends, reactions from all parties, and Marshal Zhang's decision
The "State Master" stood in the pile of corpses, his pupils shaking like flying stars, spewing out rage that seemed to be tangible, and a ferocious and violent aura spread from the "State Master" as if it came from the ancient wilderness.

It watched Xu Xin and Dong Chang escape, but did not chase them. Instead, it pulled out a ball of struggling and twisting black Qi from the pile of corpses, opened its mouth and bit them hard, shaking its head and tearing them apart. The black Qi let out a wail and transformed into facial features that looked very much like Tsuchimikado's Night Light.

After it went out to take action earlier, it violated orders and did not choose to overturn the magic circle and let Zhang Zhiwei escape. Instead, it grabbed Tsuchimikado Yeguang and tortured him aside.

During the subsequent battle, it also chose to slack off, continuing to torture Tsuchimikado Yokou and not going to help.

He even cheered in the dark, hoping that the Grim Reaper would be more powerful and capture Zhang Zhiwei's soul, so that he could be the one in charge.

But I never expected that the Grim Reaper was a waste. Not only could I catch him, I couldn't even pull him out.

If it could be pulled out, no, as long as half of it could be pulled out, so that it could see the hope of defeating Zhang Zhiwei, it would turn against him without hesitation and help the god of death deal with Zhang Zhiwei.

In the end, everything was in vain. Zhang Zhiwei, who regarded life and death as one, could not be shaken at all. He watched here for a long time in vain, and fearing that he would be retaliated by the big-faced thief later, he killed some fleeing Japanese pirates.

During this process, he discovered that one of the Japanese pirates was very powerful and was a big fish, so he thought about catching him to make up for his mistake.

However, it never expected that the other party was so cunning. After just one glance at it, it ran away using some kind of space teleportation ability.

And it ran very far away, making it impossible for it to be sensed from the surroundings.

So it could only kill more fleeing Japanese pirates.

"Oh my god, what a demon! Where did this guy come from? This is too scary. I felt as if I saw a sea of ​​blood surging towards me when I saw him just now. If I run slower, I will be drowned and sink in that blood forever!"

Xu Xin screamed and ran back. He was a killer who had been carrying out missions for a year or two. He had killed more than two dozen people, with all kinds of deaths. It seemed that his nerves had been trained as steel. However, when he saw the scene just now, he couldn't help but gasp and was frightened.

This surprise did not only come from seeing the dead. What was so scary about the dead? It was mainly the bloody smell after a person died, mixed with the evil spirit of the demon ape, and the surging violence and evil spirit... a mixed result formed by all kinds of combinations.

He was even more terrifying than the mysterious, unfathomable and terrifying man he met last time when he and Dong Chang were fighting against the great evil Huang Fang.

Dong Chang was also shaken, but he was better than Xu Xin. He retreated and looked back, and found that the terrifying demon ape did not chase him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not stop and said:

"Although the demon ape was fierce, it seemed that it killed only Japanese pirates. Although it had ill intentions towards the two of us, it had no intention of killing us. Could it be an immortal? This time, the little Taoist priest brought quite a few immortals with him!"

Xu Xin calmed down for a moment and nodded quickly: "I think so. Judging from its momentum alone, the demon ape is much stronger than us. If it attacks us, we will definitely die. But it just watched us leave without any other actions. From this point of view, it is not an enemy anyway."

The two ran out of the woods and ran into Yang Lie who was returning after defeating the Japanese pirates.

Yang Lie's eyes were sharp, and his face was expressionless. When he saw Xu Xin and Dong Chang running over in a panic, his eyes moved slightly, and he said in surprise:

"Why are you two running away in such a hurry?"

Xu Xin and Dong Chang told Yang Lie what they had just seen.

Yang Lie said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, they are definitely not immortals. Although immortals have different personalities and look ferocious and terrifying on the outside, if they want to establish a sect, they must cultivate their health and suppress their bestiality, and be like humans. They can't be so violent."

"I'm afraid it's really a demon. He may have a grudge against the Japanese pirates, so he slaughtered them. As for why he let you two go, I don't know. But we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go back and report to the master!"

Several people hurried back.

Originally, the Tang Sect's initial tactic was for the three of them to support from the rear, while the eldest master would take action and the others would assist. Once the mission was completed, they would immediately evacuate.

As a result, the young Taoist priest and the immortals under his command displayed their divine power and killed all the Japanese pirates and the Kamikaze Squadron. The ninjas of Mount Bihe were either killed or escaped, so they had no need to evacuate.

When they arrived, they found that most people had returned and gathered together. This was a stronghold of Japanese pirates. Although most of the buildings inside were destroyed, they could still make a place to stay if they cleaned it up.

The bloodthirsty maniac Tang Mingyi, who had been seriously injured and on the verge of death, had been rescued by Zhang Zhiwei. He was lying on the ground, breathing heavily and looking very happy, as if he was still savoring the previous killing.

The seriously injured Tang Tongbi and Du Fusong were no longer in danger of life. The two of them snuggled together, rarely, and looked at the starry sky at night.

Zhang Zhiwei was meditating with his eyes closed, while the others and the immortals were also regulating their breathing. No one spoke.

Xu Xin, Dong Chang and Yang Lie came back to break the silence and reported what they had just seen and heard.

"Since we are dealing with the Japanese pirates, we can't say they are friends, but they are definitely not enemies. Do you immortals agree?" Tang Jiaren looked at Huang Tianliu, Hu Tianbiao and other immortals and asked with a smile.

"It must be the deputy leader!" Huang Tianliu said.

It was said before this operation that the deputy leader would provide support at any time, but he was never seen taking action from beginning to end.

"Deputy leader? He's also an immortal, even more ruthless than me. I'd like to meet him!" Hu Tianbiao licked the corner of his mouth and said. He originally thought that he was cruel enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone more cruel than him.

Zhang Yi and Lan Gu looked at each other. They both knew that it was Zhang Zhiwei's inner demon, but neither of them said much. Instead, they looked at Zhang Zhiwei.

After treating some wounded soldiers, Zhang Zhiwei began to meditate to heal himself.

When he was trying to break the curse, he was attacked by the god of death. Although Zhang Zhiwei's life and body were intact and there was almost no chance of survival, his soul was being pulled like in a tug-of-war, so he still suffered some damage.

The damage to his body was repaired the moment he woke up, but the damage to his soul was not.

Ordinary people's souls are damaged and can only be restored through slow and steady work. However, Zhang Zhiwei has a pair of perfect hands and can recover quickly with the help of the power of his blue hands.

At this moment, there were two pitch-black palm prints on his soul. Originally, his life and soul were in perfect harmony without any gap, but now there were two. Although they were extremely small and had little impact on the unity of life and soul, they were like thorns in the flesh, and he couldn't wait to repair them.

After activating the Blue Hand, he used his mental power to conjure up a pair of blue hands at the damaged part of his soul. He gently stroked the damaged part, and the blue light penetrated into it. After a cool feeling, the wound was repaired.

The gap between lives was filled, Zhang Zhiwei slowly opened his eyes, nodded and said: "Don't worry, that demon ape is one of us."

"It sounds like it's a little out of control. Can it be taken back?" Zhang Yi asked.

"It's best not to take it back. Learn from the Great Emperor Zhenwu." said Aunt Lan.

Inner demons are a difficult hurdle that many cultivators will face. There are many ways to deal with inner demons, some are to restrict them, some are to destroy them, and some people will use some secret methods to control them.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu simply pulled out the inner demon along with a part of his body and threw it on the ground, allowing the inner demon to transform into the turtle and snake generals for his own use. When Zhang Zhiwei first heard about the Great Emperor Zhenwu's actions, he thought it was just a myth, nonsense, made up to highlight the Great Emperor's power, but now, he doesn't think so.

Because with the help of the Red Hand, if he is given some time, he can also do this, but there is no need. The Great Emperor Zhenwu could not tolerate the two generals, the Turtle and the Snake, because these two guys were disobedient in his body and kept bothering him. In order to let him be free from them, he killed them out.

But the "National Master" is obedient. Although he secretly harbors rebellious thoughts in his heart, he shows that he is submissive. He can not only assist in cultivation, but also be assigned to carry out tasks.

Although it cannot be trusted at critical moments, especially when it involves one's own safety, it is always useful. The benefits of keeping it in the body are much greater than cutting it off.

If the "national teacher" knew that it could not get freedom because it was too "tolerant", he would probably be so angry that he would throw his head on the ground.

"It's possible not to take it back, but it's more reassuring to take it back!" Zhang Zhiwei's mind moved, and he summoned the "National Master" back to Xinfu.

He clearly felt that the "National Master" hesitated for a moment, but after a moment, he chose to obey and returned to the small world of the human body.

The terrifying demon ape, which was so arrogant and domineering just now, turned into a ball of hair as big as a fist. It looked at the big face that protruded above its head, turned around on the ground in a flattering manner, and reported the news to Zhang Zhiwei with a "squeaking" sound.

He talked about how many Japanese pirates he had killed, how miserably the Japanese pirate who cast the killing curse died, and how he had not slacked off at all, giving those little white fairies under his command a good vent for their anger.

Zhang Zhiwei could sense the guilty conscience and panic of the "national teacher". He felt amused but said, "I asked you to break the killing spell earlier. How did you do it? Are you trying to murder me?"

The fist-sized, hairy "imperial teacher" was so frightened that his hair and beard stood on end. He hurriedly explained that he did not mean it. He thought that as long as he killed the Japanese pirate, the curse would be lifted.

It is the true state of Zhang Zhiwei's heart. Zhang Zhiwei is a sage inside and a king outside, and he can see through the whole body. Naturally, he knows its true thoughts clearly.

"I am very happy that you killed the Japanese pirates, but I don't like your laziness on the battlefield. I will punish you severely!"

Zhang Zhiwei opened his mouth and spit out a ball of blue-green flame, which landed on the body of the "national teacher", burning it so much that it rolled on the ground, holding its head and begging for mercy.

The punishment did not last long. Zhang Zhiwei took back the Samadhi True Fire and said in a deep voice:

"You ate a lot of people before, and you were full of resentment. I burned them all just now. It is both a punishment for your laziness and a reward for killing the pirates!"

After saying that, the big face slowly retracted and disappeared into the small world of the human body.

The "National Master" was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, his heart filled with relief. He had thought that he would be severely punished, but he had not expected the big-faced thief to be so easily fooled. However, this kind of thing could not happen again and again. He could not do this again in the future unless he was absolutely sure.

Perhaps feeling guilty, the "national teacher" quickly started to work.

The incident was over and everyone left without staying here any longer.

However, the turmoil caused by this incident is far from over.

At this time in Fengtian City, in the Marshal's Mansion, Marshal Zhang and his chief of staff, Yang Yuting, known as the Little Zhuge Liang, sat opposite each other, playing chess without saying a word.

The two were playing chess, a fast game where pieces were placed very quickly. Once one player placed a piece, the other had to follow immediately, otherwise he would admit defeat.

The reason for this rule is that Marshal Zhang is an impatient person and cannot play chess slowly.

The second is a slow chess game. He is far from being a match for his chief of staff. On the contrary, he can win in this kind of fast chess game that does not require much thinking if he is lucky occasionally.

Yang Yuting's courtesy name is Lin Ge, nicknamed Little Zhuge. He is very strategic and good at planning things. He was not very willing to play chess with Marshal Zhang, but the situation today was special and both of them were unable to calm down, so they simply played fast chess.

Marshal Zhang played chess more aggressively this time than usual, frequently changing pieces and catching Yang Yuting off guard.

"Hahaha, damn it, Yuting, you now have come to this day!" Marshal Zhang laughed.

"I'm upset!" Yang Yuting shook his head and said, "Will the Marshal's move completely break up relations with Japan?"

"Tear off the relationship? Damn it, this matter has nothing to do with me, why do you want to tear off my face?" Marshal Zhang laughed and said, "Not only that, I, Zhang, have to clean up the mess for these damn ladies."

"Many of their guards on the railway died, and several sections of the railway were severely damaged. We will send people to repair them, and then send a few people to help them guard the railway."

After listening to this, Yang Yuting paused for a moment and said, "The Marshal wants to seize the rights to this section of the railway?!"

Marshal Zhang cursed loudly, "Fuck you, these railways were originally mine, including the railways in the Middle East. The Russians promised to transfer the railways to us in exchange for us bearing the foreign debt for building the railways. Now we are paying off the debts, but they are refusing to give us the railways. Damn you, I am so upset!"

"Not long ago, my informant gave me a message that the Japanese pirates were in contact with the other side, and they seemed to be planning to bypass us and buy the railway directly from them. The other side did not explicitly refuse, and the two sides are negotiating. Damn, that bastard, don't bully people like this!"

Marshal Zhang let out a long breath: "In that case, it is only natural for me to help them keep the railway!"

"Do you think the Japanese pirates would agree?" Yang Yuting asked.

"That fucking bastard, everything depends on whether they are willing or not, then I, Old Zhang, will just put my white underwear on my head and surrender!"

Marshal Zhang sneered, "During this period, those immortals have been conducting guerrilla warfare on the railway. The Japanese pirates have been troubled by them and have been exhausted for a long time. I took over the work for them. This is to help them solve their problems. I will also ask them for their wages!"

"Is the Marshal thinking that everything is too simple?!" Yang Yuting said.

"At worst, we can give them the right to use it." Marshal Zhang paused and added: "As long as we have it in our hands, that's fine."

"It's true that we won't fall out right away, but it will definitely become a thorn in our side!" Yang Yuting nodded.

"No matter if they have only one thorn or several, ten birds in a tree are not as good as one bird in the hand. Let's get part of the railway first, and then we can take things one step at a time. I, Zhang, have come this far not by any ingenuity, but by courage."

"General!"

Marshal Zhang picked up his own king, ignored the other pieces on the board, and directly captured Yang Yuting's general.

"Come on, follow me to meet that little celestial master!"
