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

The task is easy, isn't this just picking up free money?

"You didn't watch the global live stream today, did you? I'm not going, even if you kill me!"

"Damn it, even Norasuke, the number one assassin in Japan, is dead, and you still want me to go and die?"

After hanging up the phone, he angrily cursed several times.

Faced with his partner's complaints, the assassin who took the job felt that he had ultimately wasted his time. Risk and reward always go hand in hand, and with the current tense situation in China, few dared to take action.

But from another perspective,
At this time, the rewards for assassins within China had increased several times over.

Where there is demand, there is a market; one successful job can be worth several successful jobs by others.

Even if it's dangerous, it's worth the gamble.

"What line of work doesn't involve risks? Coward! This is just making an example of someone. No matter how skilled the top assassin is, my targets aren't exactly tough nuts to crack."

……

Similar situations are actually quite common.

Not everyone will be deterred by such a threat.

Even if most people will restrain themselves as a result, there will always be one or two desperate individuals out of a hundred. They are willing to risk their lives for profit and will do anything.

The Chinese side naturally anticipated this as well.

They had already made arrangements for this.

Whenever faced with a thorny problem or an indecisive decision, it is time to seek help from the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect is skilled in divination and can discern the trajectory of fate.

"Xu Gu, could you please help us contact the Taoist sect?"

"This matter is entrusted to you. Please do your best to deduce the locations where further bloodshed may occur. If you have any requests or need assistance, please feel free to raise them. The authorities will fully cooperate and hope to obtain the deduction results as soon as possible."
The top leadership of China issued a formal request to the Taoist sect.

Xu Gu, the former leader of the Yin-Yang Dao sect, took on this task.

Xu Gu was the official liaison between the government and the Taoist sects appointed by Lin Beichen.

Neither fellow Taoists nor government officials had any objections to Lin Beichen's arrangement.

"Understood, I will notify all the major sects immediately."

Xu Gu responded without hesitation.

……

The apprentice, Xu Fang, noticed the commotion and, with a look of suspicion, inquired of his master:
"Is there a new mission?"

Xu Gu did not hide anything from Xu Fang and explained the situation in detail.

Of all his disciples, Xu Fang was the one he valued the most.

At this moment, Xia You also rushed over upon hearing the news and volunteered to his master:
"I can help with this too."

"Very good, this is a good opportunity for you to take charge and gain experience."

"Junior Sister will travel with you. Xu Fang, you will act alone and be responsible for contacting the Southern Daoist sects. I will go to the Northern Daoist sects to deliver the mission." After a brief assignment, the group set off immediately.

The major Taoist sects of the north were summoned to a famous Taoist temple.
Many sects from the south also gathered at the famous temple.

The two sides had already established a communication mechanism, so there was no need to visit each other individually—which would have been extremely cumbersome. Now that everyone is gathered together to discuss the matter, efficiency has been greatly improved.

Some things are difficult to explain over the phone.

Therefore, face-to-face communication is necessary.

Furthermore, this operation requires the coordinated efforts of various Daoist sects.

All parties were required to use divination techniques to predict potential bloodshed and disaster in their respective jurisdictions.

The Southern Taoist sect is responsible for the southern region.

The Northern Taoist sect governs the northern territory.

Each should fulfill their responsibilities, and there is no need for excessive communication between the North and the South.

……

"Xia You, Xu Lan, it's you two who came this time. Didn't our master attend in person?"

In a Taoist temple in the south, an old Taoist priest looked kindly at two younger people.

His eyes revealed approval.

It is truly remarkable that someone so young can shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Xia You and Xu Lan were mainly responsible for auxiliary affairs in the southwest region, their senior brother was responsible for the southeast direction, and Xu Gu was in charge of the affairs of the northern Taoist sect.

After a detailed explanation, everyone understood the situation.

All the masters of the major sects took this matter very seriously.

Of course, appropriate preparations need to be made before the simulation.

If they were to perform divination directly without external assistance, it would likely deplete their vital energy. At this point, they used communication devices to request support from the Chinese government, needing manpower, supplies, and financial resources, and requesting the mobilization of the local dragon vein's energy.

Using the power of the dragon vein for deduction.

Japan had previously used similar methods for divination.

The authorities approved the request without hesitation.

……

At the same time, Xu Gu had also joined forces with the Taoist sects in the north.

They can handle the rest themselves.

The leaders of the various Taoist sects were all shrewd and their main task was to relay messages between the two sides. Afterwards, Xu Gu needed to complete another crucial task—to thoroughly eliminate the remaining forces of the former Yin-Yang sect.

Lin Beichen had previously mentioned to him that

When the time is right, he will personally assist Xu Gu in eradicating the Yin-Yang Path.

However, Xu Gu was unwilling to trouble Lin Beichen any further; this feud had to be settled personally.

Lin Beichen saved his entire family.

He had already received a debt of gratitude that was as heavy as a mountain, and he did not want to cause any more trouble.

"I refuse to believe I can't avenge myself! Gongyang Bing and Gongyang Liu, you must both pay with your lives!"

A blood-red killing intent flashed in Xu Gu's eyes.

Because he once held the position of Yin-Yang Master, many people had a long-standing relationship with Xu Gu.

Lin Zhengying from Maoshan Road wanted to go up and exchange a few pleasantries with Xu Gu, but before he could get close, he felt the sharp killing intent and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What exactly happened?

Why would this former leader of the Yin-Yang School be willing to act as a messenger?
Why was he carrying such a heavy killing intent at this moment? What exactly was in that bulging bag on his back? Although he couldn't see the details, Lin Zhengying felt a chill run down his spine.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Gu, it's been a long time."

"Are you having any difficulties? If you have any tricky issues, please feel free to speak up. We've known each other for many years, and if you're in trouble, it's only right that I help you."

The two were old friends.

Xu Gugeng once saved Lin Zhengying's life in his early years.

Lin Zhengying always remembered this kindness.

"Alas, it is ultimately the result of my own actions."

Xu Gu did not hide anything and told Lin Zhengying the whole story.

As the saying goes, one should not air one's dirty laundry in public, so he shouldn't have intended to make it public. But Lam Ching-ying was different from others; the two were like brothers and close friends, so he could naturally speak frankly about these things.

"I see. I didn't expect you to have gone through such a change."

"Young friend Lin Beichen is indeed worth befriending, but are you planning to go for revenge alone this time?"

Lin Zhengying was somewhat puzzled.

How can my old friend alone contend with the entire Yin-Yang Dao?
Venturing into the mountain gate alone would be like walking into a trap.
Even though he was once the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, he has now lost power. If he truly held authority back then, why was he forced into such a predicament? What exactly is my old friend relying on?

"That's where my confidence comes from."

Xu Gu patted his hiking backpack.

The package was bulging and looked quite unusual.

Seeing how seriously he was taking it, Lam Ching-ying couldn't help but become curious.

What could be so reassuring to my old friend?

"Wait a moment, there are too many people around here, so it's not convenient to go into details."

Xu Gu gave Lin Zhengying a wink, sensing his many questions.

After the two left the crowd, Xu Gu opened his backpack.

Seeing the various firearms and ammunition in the bag, Lin Zhengying was completely stunned—good heavens, so that's what they were planning! But it was indeed a feasible path. Using heavy firepower to deal with the Yin-Yang Path would definitely be twice as effective. "Where did you get all this?"

This is the issue that Lin Ching-ying cared about most.

When asked, Xu Gu grinned:
"Thanks to my young friend Lin Beichen, he really went to a lot of trouble for me in this matter."

Hearing him say that, Lin Zhengying's mind immediately started to stir.

Who wouldn't want to have a few trump cards up their sleeve?

Lin Zhengying also wanted to get some of this kind of equipment for his own sect.

You may not need it on ordinary days, but it can be used for self-defense in times of crisis.

Having a sword in hand and not having one are two completely different things. But he also knew that this matter would not be easy to accomplish, and asking Xu Gu for help would probably not work—Xu Gu himself had only obtained these weapons by asking Lin Beichen for help.

Xu Gu would never have privately transferred military equipment.

If he were to hand over the weapon to someone else without authorization, he would be breaking his promise to Lin Beichen. As a close friend of many years, Lin Zhengying would naturally not want to put him in a difficult position.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will introduce you to my young friend Lin Beichen."

As a longtime friend, Xu Gu could easily see through Lin Zhengying's intentions.

Although we can't give him a weapon directly

However, it would be fine to introduce him to Lin Beichen for a meeting and discussion.

Lin Beichen was not a pedantic person.
He is mostly willing to help as long as there is profit to be made.

In other words, as long as Lam Ching-ying had no ulterior motives,
If one simply wants to use weapons to protect Maoshan Road, then there is nothing wrong with that.

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you."

There's no need for formalities between us.

"In that case, I will accompany you on this journey through the Yin-Yang Path."

"We brothers will raze this mountain gate to the ground and restore order to the Yin-Yang Dao!"

As they talked, the two arrived at the gate of Yin Yang Dao Mountain.

At this moment, they were each carrying a hiking backpack.
Holding a standard-issue rifle,

He had a pistol on his waist, a submachine gun slung across his back, and a high-precision rifle in his hand. This equipment was frightening enough, not to mention the several grenades hanging from his waist.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on the Yin-Yang Path!"

"You dare trespass on my ancestors!"

"Da da da da—!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—!"

The disciple guarding the mountain had barely opened his mouth to rebuke when Xu Gu and Lin Zhengying unleashed a barrage of bullets, riddling him with holes and killing him instantly. Lin Zhengying stopped when he saw that his opponent was dead, but Xu Gu, still not satisfied, fired a few more shots.

This clearly demonstrates the depth of Xu Gu's hatred for the Yin-Yang Dao.

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the harsher the criticism.

The betrayal by the Yin-Yang Dao had already caused Xu Gu immense pain.

How could he not be furious when he saw these former traitors now?

How long has it been?
The disciples of the mountain gate had already completely forgotten about him.

They don't even recognize their former sect leader; they deserve to die!
"It made fellow Taoists laugh."

Xu Gu shook his head with a wry smile as he changed the magazine.

My actions just now were indeed somewhat inappropriate.

He appeared overly fierce and brutal in front of his old friends.

"It's alright, I understand."

"Blame them for betraying you and for betraying the Daoist sect."

"They even dared to collude with the Japanese; this crime alone is enough to warrant their execution a thousand times over."

Lin Zhengying spoke with righteous indignation.

"Don't worry, after we've dealt with them, we'll handle the aftermath together."

Reporting this matter to higher authorities wouldn't be a problem, as Lin Beichen had already vouched for Xu Gu. However, such things are best kept quiet; the fewer people who know, the better. Too many people knowing could easily cause unnecessary panic.

Not everyone can understand the pain of Xu Gu's betrayal.

Not everyone is aware of the inside story of Yin-Yang Dao's intention to unite with the Sakura Kingdom.

In fact, Yin Yang Dao is indeed preparing to cooperate with Japan.

However, they were unaware that the Yin-Yang School had already been destroyed.

The reason Japan contacted the Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang) was simply to cultivate a pawn. They needed a puppet who could provide intelligence; whether or not the lineage was inherited was completely irrelevant—making empty promises is so easy.

When these people can provide valuable intelligence,
Only then will they consider handing over part of their legacy.

Even if there is no gain, the Yin-Yang Dao will already be in our hands, and we can use this to coerce them into continuing to serve us.

If the Yin-Yang Dao dares to disobey, they will reveal their cooperation to China. While this is unethical, the two sides are not allies to begin with. Such are the rules of the adult world; if you're deceived, no one will seek justice for you.

Everyone must bear the consequences of their choices.

Cooperating with the Sakura Kingdom is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. Of course, the Sakura Kingdom is not entirely getting something for nothing—although they did not obtain the core inheritance of the Yin-Yang School (those treasures are all in Lin Beichen's hands), they can still provide a lot of Yin-Yang School classics.

……

at the same time.

The envoy from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom is having a secret meeting with Gongyang Bing of the Yin-Yang School.

Both sides got what they needed and had a very pleasant conversation.

"I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant, and I have always admired Japan's reputation for keeping its promises."

Gongyang Bing greeted the visitor with a smile.

“You are a very good citizen! We also have great faith in the sincerity of the Yin-Yang Dao.”

"Speaking of which, we have a deep connection! We have a strong friendship with the Yin-Yang School, and the Yin-Yang School has a close relationship with the Yin-Yang Dao. So we are friends, indirectly, very close friends!" the envoy from the Sakura Kingdom said in broken Chinese.

Hearing the other party's stumbling words, Gongyang Bing's lips twitched slightly.

This person is so unprofessional.

The Sakura Kingdom actually sent an envoy with inarticulate speech. Could it be that they look down on the Yin-Yang Dao? Although he was dissatisfied, he still maintained a gentle smile on his face.

In any case, this person will be a future partner.

"Why don't you stay for a simple meal?"

"The vegetarian dishes of Yin Yang Dao are quite unique."

"Haha, then I'll gladly accept."

The two chatted and laughed in the secret room.
Outside, however, gunfire was already deafening.

Boom! Boom!
The sound of bullets firing incessantly could be heard.

The scene was a mix of piercing wails and painful screams.

The entire Yin-Yang Path was instantly engulfed in a sea of ​​blood, filled with screams of agony.

"We know we were wrong! Please spare our lives! I've only been a disciple for two days!" The newly initiated disciple almost burst into tears.

He was completely clueless.
How could someone suddenly storm the mountain gate with a gun?
What on earth is going on? Isn't this a peaceful world?

What kind of conflict can't be discussed calmly and rationally?

Is it reasonable to resort to knives and guns?

Upon hearing this, Xu Gu's expression shifted slightly, realizing that he had indeed overlooked the importance of such consideration.

However, in that instant of hesitation,
Lin Zhengying had already hoisted the rocket launcher and aimed it at the begging man! With a deafening roar, the young man who had just spoken was instantly torn to pieces. Lin Zhengying grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and turned to ask Xu Gu:

"What was that kid muttering about just now?"

He pretended not to have heard clearly.

Xu Gu was taken aback at first, then understood and said:
"Why bother if you didn't hear clearly? There are no innocent people in the Yin-Yang Path."

Since we have been friends for many years,

How could I not understand what the other person is thinking?
Since the decision has been made, there is no need for further hesitation.

Just eliminate them all; why bother about whether they are innocent or not? Decisiveness and ruthlessness are the right way.

If asked whether this move was too ruthless, Xu Gu admitted that it was indeed somewhat harsh.

But so what? (End of Chapter)
