Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

But how can a weak woman like her change the current situation?

With her limited strength, she could only try to intimidate her opponent by using threats.

But did it really work? Clearly not; her resistance only fueled the group's evil intentions. However, it seemed one of them had changed their mind and didn't want to get involved.

This might be a turning point for Xu Lan.

"Heh, why pretend to be a gentleman now? Didn't we agree on this before?"

"Scared already? A coward with the desire to steal but no guts!"

“Let me tell you plainly, her senior brother gave up on her a long time ago.”

"The Yin-Yang Dao of today is not what it used to be, you don't need to be so timid."

“It’s really inappropriate to do this in front of her senior brother, but as long as we get it done, even if her senior brother finds out afterward, he has no right to say anything!” someone shouted.

Hearing these words, Zhang Zhou's heart sank completely.

Trying to reason with some people is like casting pearls before swine.

He finally realized that these people he once considered friends were nothing but a bunch of beasts.

They can even do this to such young children.

Simply unforgivable!
The so-called Yin-Yang Dao is nothing more than this.

He was completely disillusioned with this place.

I never want to stay in this dark and gloomy place again.

"If you dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Despite the immense pressure, Zhang Zhou still delivered this warning to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. Then, someone provocatively said to him, "You don't actually think you can stop all of us by yourself, do you? You're really too arrogant!"

"If you're so eager to die, we wouldn't mind granting your wish."

His murderous intent was no longer concealed.

Some people have some reservations about this.

Someone muttered under their breath, "This isn't a good idea. After all, we used to be fellow disciples... Of course, that was before! From the moment he threatened us, we were no longer brothers. We're on different paths, so let's just send him to meet the King of Hell."

How absurd is that?

They acted without warning, showing that their so-called camaraderie was utterly worthless.

"Heh, I'd rather die than stoop to your level! You're utterly unworthy of being called human!"

At first, Zhang Zhou was indeed a little scared.

But now that things have come to this, he's going all out.

……

At the same time, Lin Beichen led Xu Gu, Xu Fang, and Xia You to the back mountain.

Before they even reached their destination, they were bombarded with foul and offensive language.

Xu Gu's face was terribly grim; he simply couldn't believe that someone from the Yin-Yang Path could have fallen so low. Worried about his granddaughter's safety, in his desperation, he coughed up another mouthful of blood, his anger flaring up, and he was on the verge of collapse.

"Beasts... what a bunch of beasts!"

Xu Gu suppressed his anger and squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

He knew he couldn't get too excited right now.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen couldn't help but shake his head. Fortunately, there was still room to salvage the situation.

He could hear the sounds of arguing and a little girl's tearful warning. It seemed they hadn't arrived too late; the little girl was alright for now.

"Damn it, if you want to mess with my junior sister, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

"Junior Sister, don't be afraid, your senior brother is here to save you!"

Xia You could no longer contain himself and charged into the crowd with a roar.

Seeing Xu Lan trembling behind the crowd, his eyes instantly reddened.

How could he tolerate his beloved girl being bullied like this?
Even if it costs him his life, he would never allow Xu Lan to suffer the slightest harm.

At this point, Xia You was completely disregarding everything. In order to save Xu Lan, he knew it was like throwing an egg against a rock, but he still insisted on forcing his way in.

Go ahead to dangers.

How could he possibly deal with so many people on his own?

As expected, Xia You, who had just rushed forward, was quickly pinned to the ground and beaten severely.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhang Zhou pulled Xu Lan behind him to protect her. During this process, Xu Lan did not struggle; she seemed to sense that Zhang Zhou was different from the others.

It was only because Zhang Zhou spoke up for her that she was able to buy some time.

It was because of his persistence that his senior brother arrived to rescue him.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Xu Lan cried out loudly.

Xia You had no time to answer. He covered his head with his hands, enduring the punches, kicks, and foul language of his former fellow disciples. These people had completely lost their humanity.

Not a single human word came out of their mouths.

"Damn it, you little brat, how dare you ruin our plans!"

"Hehe, today we'll clean house for your good senior brother!"

This group's arrogance was simply outrageous.

Why are these people able to act so recklessly and without any moral compass...?

Xu Fang's figure had already come into their view; this was none other than Xu Lan's senior brother. Yet, even so, they showed no fear whatsoever, nor did they display the slightest remorse on their faces.

They even beat up Xu Fang's junior brother, Xia You, right in front of him.

This is not just beating Xia You, it's a blatant slap in the face to Xu Fang.

They still thought Xu Fang was the same Xu Fang who would swallow his pride to survive, but little did they know that everything was different now. All because of Lin Beichen's appearance—he single-handedly forced the entire Yin-Yang Dao to bow down and compromise.

Xu Gu had already briefly recounted the whole incident to Xu Fang.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Fang was completely shocked.

It turns out that the Yin-Yang Dao he had always feared was nothing more than that; these people were nothing but a bunch of cowards who clung to life. His previous choice to endure humiliation now seemed rather laughable.

But Xu Fang also understood that it was a choice made out of necessity at the time.

He couldn't be as powerful as Lin Beichen; he didn't have a gun.

"I'm sorry, junior sister, I startled you just now." Zhang Zhou led Xu Lan to Xu Fang's side, then turned to look behind him—there were still two people standing there.

He recognized one of them as Xu Gu.

Xu Gu was once the master of Yin-Yang Dao, and his influence still lingers.

Standing beside him was a composed young man.

Zhang Zhou was initially filled with remorse, but reflecting on his actions just now, he felt somewhat relieved. In any case, this could be considered making amends. At least he was still a person with a conscience.

Without comparison, there is no gap.

It was all thanks to the contrast with those utterly depraved senior brothers that it stood out.
Compared to them, I don't seem so bad.

"You can keep this gun for now, no, I'm giving it to you."

Lin Beichen handed the gun to Xu Fang. Xu Fang took the gun, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Only at this moment did Xu truly understand:
Lin Beichen's strength does not lie in the fact that he has a gun.

It's because he is Lin Beichen! His strength comes from within, and has nothing to do with external things.

It's impossible to intimidate the entire Yin-Yang sect with just a gun.

He knew that even if he threatened the Yin-Yang Dao members with a gun, he probably wouldn't come out on top. After realizing this, he felt a strange sense of respect and admiration for Lin Beichen.

Facing seven or eight people, Xu Fang really had no chance of winning.

But now that he has a gun, the situation is completely different.

Without the slightest hesitation, he walked straight toward the group of people, and at the same time deftly chambered a bullet.

Seeing Xu Fang approach with an imposing air, the others remained unfazed. "What do you want? You don't actually intend to attack us, do you?"

"No way, you're not naive enough to think you can take on all of us by yourself, are you? We know you're strong, but you can't fight alone, and two fists can't beat four hands!"

They are unaware of what they are about to face.

Until someone noticed the gun Xu Fang was holding.

Once they saw it clearly, panic spread instantly.

They were terrified; they could clearly feel the murderous intent emanating from Xu Fang.

"Don't do anything rash! Don't come any closer, whatever you do, don't come any closer! I'm warning you, don't be impulsive!"

"As long as you put down your gun, we...we can pretend nothing happened. We're still fellow disciples, and we'll never tell Gongyang Bing and his son about this..."

It's too late to be afraid now.

Xu Fang gave them no chance and pulled the trigger directly.

Bang bang bang bang!
Eight gunshots were the gun's limit, but not Xu Fang's limit.

These people all deserve to die; they are a bunch of scum, worse than pigs and dogs.

How dare they lay a hand on his most cherished junior sister, Xu Lan? Even dragons have scales; touching them will surely enrage them.

Anger will surely lead to death.

All eight people died.

Not a single person survived.

After dealing with these people, Xu Fang remained expressionless.

It was as if he had killed not people, but a flock of chickens, ducks, and livestock.

Seeing Xu Fang's composure, Lin Beichen nodded to himself.

"He is indeed a promising talent."

"It seems that the Yin-Yang Dao still has a future."

"Compared to Xu Gu, he is the true future of the Yin-Yang Dao."

Lin Beichen thought to himself.

Xu Gu had long lost the vigor of youth.

The Yin-Yang Dao has fallen to this state under his control.

This is enough to demonstrate his lack of leadership skills. He is excessively kind, and this kindness is often the most fatal flaw.

"You've taken on a good apprentice."

Lin Beichen's words brought a relieved smile to Xu Gu's face.

He did not blame Xu Fang for his actions at all.

Xu Lan is also his Achilles' heel, his granddaughter, and the most important person in his life.

"I am indeed getting old. With him here, I can leave in peace."

Xu Gu's wish had been fulfilled, but his breath gradually weakened.

His greatest wish in life was that his apprentices and granddaughter could live peacefully. He originally thought this was an unattainable dream, which is why he kept holding on and refused to die.

But now, Xu Gu truly sees the dawn of the future.

Whether it was Xu Fang's growing maturity and composure, or the mysterious appearance of this young man, both gave him hope. Although he still didn't know which old friend Lin Beichen was a disciple of, he no longer cared to delve into it.

"Grandpa, that's not very responsible of you."

"It's really unfair of you to just abandon me like this. I rarely come all the way to your Yin-Yang Path, and you let me run into this situation," Lin Beichen said with a hint of helplessness.

He then began to treat Xu Gu.

He was unwilling to treat Xu Gu within the Yin-Yang Dao.

But given the current situation, he has no choice but to take action.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, please don't get hurt. I promise I'll be a good boy from now on."

"I will never make you angry again. I will cultivate diligently and protect you from now on. Grandpa, don't leave Xu Lan... don't leave me. I really, really will never be naughty again."

Seeing her grandfather on the verge of death, Xu Lan couldn't help but burst into tears.

Her voice was clear and melodious, and her appearance was even more adorable.

Her tearful appearance and sobbing evoked pity in anyone who saw her. Xu Fang's expression was solemn, and Xia You's eyes were red-rimmed—his master was like a father to him.

Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life.

Moreover, he was raised by his master.

The bond between master and disciple was naturally incredibly deep.

Zhang Zhou stood silently to the side, his heart filled with guilt.

He believed that all the trouble stemmed from the so-called friends he had made before.

If it hadn't caused such a big incident, the old man might not have been so enraged.

This guilt made him unable to make eye contact with anyone present.

"Don't disturb young friend Lin Beichen's treatment. With him here, Master will definitely be alright." Xu Fang said, forcing back tears, while taking on the responsibility that the eldest brother should bear.

Junior students can be vulnerable, they can cry.

But as the senior disciple, he had to be strong.

"Really……"

Will Grandpa really be alright?

Xia You and Xu Lan both looked at Xu Fang and Lin Beichen with expectant eyes.

Faced with this situation, Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly and said in a relaxed tone:
"Judging from what you're saying, little girl, do you actually want something to happen to Grandpa?"

"With my skills, I can probably cure you. But if you continue to cry and make a fuss, I can't guarantee what the outcome will be." These words immediately startled Xu Lan. She stopped sobbing immediately.

But occasionally I still can't help but choke up.

Xia You also quickly held her breath.

Zhang Zhou, standing to the side, looked on in astonishment, staring at Lin Beichen in disbelief. This young man's identity was truly mysterious and unpredictable; just who was he?
It seems that all the changes started because of him.

If it weren't for this person's appearance, the situation would never have changed so drastically.

In fact, Zhang Zhou's prediction was correct: if Lin Beichen hadn't arrived, the master and his disciples would likely have met with dire consequences. Of course, this wasn't due to Lin Beichen's foresight, but purely a matter of chance.

Perhaps this is the will of Heaven.

"With him here, Senior Xu Gu might really be able to turn the tide."

"I hope so," Zhang Zhou murmured to himself.

Xu Fang silently reloaded his pistol. He wasn't naive enough to think things would just end there. With so many people dead, the Yin-Yang Path would never let it go. Leaving this place safely would certainly not be easy.

……

Meanwhile, the commotion here has attracted a lot of attention.

The eight gunshots sent shivers down people's spines.

The members of the Yin-Yang Dao sect in the vicinity dared not come to investigate rashly. They all understood the principle of "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," and no one wanted to risk their life for a moment of curiosity.

They were well aware of the old adage that curiosity killed the cat.

"Good heavens, what major incident has occurred?"

"Could someone dare to commit violence within the Yin-Yang Path? Impossible, surely no one is really that brazen?" Many Yin-Yang Path disciples who rushed over upon hearing the news gathered together and discussed the matter.

"How about a few of us go over and check it out?"

Soon someone suggested that they go together to investigate.

However, this suggestion did not receive an immediate response from the crowd. (End of Chapter)
