As the old Chinese saying goes, "When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."

The current situation is bound to harbor hidden dangers.

The crisis may not come from outside, but from within themselves.

"How should I know? I set up this maze beforehand, and you were involved. At a time like this, you shouldn't be making unnecessary sarcastic remarks. Focus on how to solve this puzzle."

Beidou is a real headache.

He already had a terrible headache, and then Sha Po Lang's interruption made him feel like he was about to break down. Fortunately, he knew he couldn't break down now and had to hurry.

We must find a breakthrough opportunity as soon as possible.

If you get bogged down here, those outside won't show you any mercy.

If they were to capture them, the consequences would be unimaginable! As for the so-called spies who were supposed to be there to help, they had already given up all hope for Dawn Moon; they were all in a precarious situation themselves.

Like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, may you pray for good fortune.

Similar to Dawn Moon's idea, they had similar plans.

"You still want to escape? How could the maze set up by taking advantage of the natural terrain of the dragon vein be so easy to break? Besides, I am here. If you two little brats escape, where will my reputation be? If you want to escape, then stay here."

Zhang Daoling let out a series of strange laughs in the shadows.

In fact, he is full of righteousness, but because his physical condition is different from before, when he laughs, he definitely has the style of a villain, and he does not hide his laughter.

Beidou and Sha Polang felt their hair stand on end instantly.

The terrifying laughter sent shivers down their spines.

The situation seems quite obvious.

There's something dirty in this place.

"We're doomed, it seems we've encountered a formidable old monster."

"No wonder it's getting colder and colder. Something's not right here. What should we do? Can we escape now?" The two looked at each other, both seeing the panic in each other's eyes.

Previously, they were able to barely maintain their mental composure.

But beneath that terrifying laughter, they truly broke down.

Of course, after a brief breakdown, their strong mental fortitude was once again on full display. Is it possible that the appearance of such a terrifying monster is actually beneficial to them?

For example, those people outside can't get in either.

"Perhaps we still have hope."

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Maybe we can use this to shift the blame."

A wise look appeared in their eyes.

It must be said that their analysis was indeed quite accurate.

Normally, if such a monster appeared, it would definitely launch an indiscriminate attack.

Such a terrifying monster would never have any independent consciousness.

Even if they have self-awareness, they won't have much of a mind.

When there are many people on one side and few on the other, monsters usually target the side with more people.

This seems to be common sense.

They also found hope.

They believe there is still room for further action.

However, the outcome was destined to disappoint them.

Because Zhang Daoling's situation is different from others.

"I'm in a bad situation right now, so I'll just stall for time."

Zhang Daoling had no idea what the two little ones were planning.

He didn't want to know about such meaningless things.

At the moment, he has only assigned himself one task.

That is to stop these two little guys from the cherry blossom country from leaving this place.

At least for now, the task is 99% complete.

The remaining one percent is a saying that the way of heaven is unpredictable and cannot be absolute; nothing is absolute.

at the same time.

There are many Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain on the outskirts of the Dragon Vein Land.

And also official bigwigs who received messages from special channels.

"Damn it, Lin Beichen is our best soldier. Whether it's strength or his Taoist lineage, he's the best. Those Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain dare to give him attitude?"

Some people were so angry that they slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

"That's going too far, pushing your luck. I don't know anything about dragon veins or anything like that."

“But I know his judgment must be based on something. If those people don’t cooperate, then there’s no need to let them exist next time. The Taoist sect should also be incorporated into our ranks, becoming a special department, truly under our jurisdiction. Only in this way can we better counter the Yin-Yang School.”

This big shot has a very bad temper.

His words were also quite domineering.

However, while the words may be crude, the principle is sound; the reasoning is indeed correct.

Just like the situation in Japan, where the Yin-Yang School is completely under the control of the government.

In this situation, they can pool their resources and better manage the situation.

This force in China is now enormous.

However, this force is not united.

This force is scattered across various corners of China, and without a unified command and control, it would be difficult to utilize. The leader's intention was not to control them.

This bigwig had no intention of interfering with the inheritance of other Taoist sects.

He just wanted to provide these people with a source of information.

Having reliable information channels is a win-win situation, both for their own development and for China. It will not hinder their own development.

After the leader explained his ideas, everyone else agreed with them.

If this situation is explained clearly, those in the Taoist community will surely agree.

"It's a win-win situation, especially since it happened when the Yin-Yang School of Japan attacked China. I don't think those people are fools or stubborn people."

"Moreover, Lin Beichen's master is definitely a master as well."

"If we really can't figure it out, then we can ask Lin Beichen to invite this mysterious master to come out of seclusion."

With that, the meeting was considered over.

The detailed planning needs to be handled by a specific person. "I'll entrust this arduous task to you, Zhang San. You can also assist Yu Tian. Your relationship with Yu Feng goes without saying, and Yu Feng and Lin Beichen are very close."

In short, the most important thing now is to build relationships.

Lin Beichen is one of their own, but they still can't just treat him casually.

Who should make the initial contact? Naturally, it should be someone you have a good relationship with; this will be much more effective. Familiarity also facilitates the conversation, so this decision is absolutely correct.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Well, my younger brother is actually more suited for this task, but he doesn't seem interested in it."

Yu Tian smiled helplessly, then said, "Then I, as the older brother, will have to act as a messenger. Zhang San, you're in charge of protecting their safety. With your abilities, you can be of help to Lin Beichen. After all, you're the top individual fighter."

Zhang San did not deny Yu Tian's praise.

Several years ago, he did indeed earn the title of the best individual soldier.

But things are different now. He's still unsure if he's still number one.

There are always people better than you, mountains beyond mountains, and skies beyond skies. China is a vast and resource-rich land, and masters emerge in endless streams. Zhang San certainly doesn't dare to claim himself as the best individual fighter, but he doesn't deny it either.

He was indeed the best individual soldier at one time.

There is absolutely no problem with calling it that.

"To be honest, do you think Lin Beichen needs my help? Even in a one-on-one situation, I wouldn't dare say I'm absolutely confident I could handle him. Besides, he's proficient in so many things."

Zhang San was very wary of Lin Beichen.

He wasn't afraid if the two of them really fought head-on.

The key is that Lin Beichen's methods are endless, and he can't defend against them.

For example, in terms of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, that's definitely not something he can do.

Being able to anticipate potential dangers during a mission is extremely effective.

"I also know he's capable and skilled."

That's why I'm only asking you to go and help out a bit. The real decision-makers are still Lin Beichen. Don't put too much pressure on yourself; the two of you together are absolutely invincible. Your involvement will definitely make things much easier for Lin Beichen.

Yu Tian gave this rather objective evaluation.

Zhang San did not refute Yu Tian's words.

Indeed, that was the case; having him join would definitely make things easier for Lin Beichen.

He can handle all the tasks that require physical action himself, and with Yu Feng around, the situation is pretty much the same.

However, in terms of combat, he was stronger than ten Yu Fengs combined.

Zhang San wasn't bragging; he genuinely had the ability and the confidence.

……

Two flowers bloom, each displaying its own unique character.

Let's zoom back to the top of Longhu Mountain.

"Sending only a few people, is that enough? Why don't we call a few more brothers to go and scout the situation together?" Zhang Wupo was a little uneasy.

He originally intended to call a few of his brothers to go and see what was going on.

At this moment, Li Mingyue was being tied up beside several people.

Only Lin Beichen, Yu Feng, Wang Baozi, and Zhang Wuqing entered that place.

Zhang Wupo was very unhappy with this arrangement. Such an important matter, yet he was left behind? What did this mean? Was it implying that he wasn't qualified to act alongside them?
Or perhaps, he looks down on himself?
"Let's not do it. Senior Brother said that the few of them are enough."

"Moreover, Tiancan, Dique, and Zhao Si are also in there. With these guys around, anything can be solved."

Other Taoist priests also expressed similar views.

It must be said that this is indeed the case.

In fact, Zhang Wupo also has the ability, but whether he goes or not doesn't make much of a difference.

With so many experts around, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. Having him stay to guard Li Mingyue is more like a test, given the shady deal he has with her. He originally had a chance to go with her, but Zhao Si just stabbed him in the back.

Even now, Zhang Wupo still doesn't understand what he did wrong.

He had no idea that his deal with Li Mingyue had been discovered by her.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about it. It gives me a headache just thinking about it. Our Dragon Vein of Longhu Mountain has actually been disturbed like this. If word gets out, how will we ever be able to hold our heads up again?"

"Fortunately, it's better to have found something than not to have found anything."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Li Mingyue beside him out of the corner of his eye. He never imagined that his junior sister was actually a spy sent by the Sakura Kingdom. He had harbored some feelings for this junior sister before, and even now, those feelings hadn't completely disappeared.

However, those ideas have undergone some subtle changes.

"I was originally thinking about how to influence my senior brother."

"I didn't expect you to give yourself away so easily. It seems my senior brother won't care about you anymore. Even if your spy identity is discovered, it won't affect my senior brother much. He's a calm and decisive person. I guess only cheating on him can make him break down."

Zhang Wupo thought to himself that perhaps only by doing something as bizarre as cheating on his brother could he shake his senior brother's resolve.

Unfortunately, plans never go as expected. Who would have thought that the junior sister who always addressed him as "senior brother" was actually someone sent by the Japanese? This junior sister knew far too much.

On ordinary days, Zhang Wupo occasionally has some unreliable ideas.

He was also lustful, but to be precise, he held an artistic appreciation for beautiful things. But now, he had no mind for that. For Zhang Wupo at this moment, Li Mingyue was like a time bomb; her presence was a thorn in his side.

The secret between me and Li Mingyue must never be known to anyone else.

In his view, the dead are the best at keeping secrets.

Li Mingyue was unaware of Zhang Wupo's thoughts. At this moment, she regarded Zhang Wupo as her only hope for escape, looking at him with pleading eyes, and even wanting to say something.

Before she could speak.

Zhang Wupo kicked her over with one kick.

"What, trying to seduce me? I don't have a junior sister like you. I never expected you to be from Japan, haha." Zhang Wupo's sudden rebuke stunned everyone.

However, no one else intended to stop it.

They have an intense aversion to the people of the Cherry Blossom Country.

The problem with the dragon vein of Longhu Mountain this time was caused by the Japanese.

The woman in front of them, Li Mingyue, who was being bullied by Zhang Wupo, was one of the key figures in this affair. If she hadn't tipped them off, the Japanese wouldn't have been able to do such a thing right under their noses—it was utterly ironic! Their Daoist nuns from Longhu Mountain were actually from Japan!

"How could you do this? Didn't we agree on something? No..."

Li Mingyue never expected that the man in front of her would be so ruthless and treat her so cruelly. She was truly stunned.

She wanted to remind Zhang Wupo of their previous agreement, but she didn't know that Zhang Wupo was most afraid of someone bringing it up. Moreover, Zhang Wupo had no intention of letting her go in the first place. So, Zhang Wupo simply went all in, grabbing Li Mingyue by the collar and throwing her towards a sharp, protruding rock.

This series of actions was executed in one smooth motion, without any hesitation, and was extremely ruthless.

Only after dawn and moonlight were bleeding did the others realize what had happened. (End of Chapter)
