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

For such a grown person to be so frightened that they lost control of their bladder, their mental fortitude is truly appalling.

"Good heavens, what exactly did you do?"

Yu Feng stared at Noryoku in disbelief, his eyes seeming to say—as expected of the top assassin in Japan, he has so many tricks up his sleeve. It's so pitiful to be your enemy.

"I really didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything."

"I hadn't even prepared to do anything, and he already wet his pants. What kind of eyesight do you have?"

Norasuke exclaimed in shock.

I really didn't do anything, that's a fact.

How could you not know whether you've done it or not?
Have people lost even this basic trust with one another?
Thinking of how Norasuke in front of him was once the number one assassin in the Sakura Kingdom.

As a professional assassin, it's understandable that he might do some perverse things; there's nothing to be surprised about. Lin Beichen merely glanced at Norasuke with slight surprise, without saying anything more, taking it as a joke.

"We must never make an enemy of this guy again; he's too ruthless."

Zhou Tianliang pondered to himself.

He has added Norousuke to his list of people to be avoided.

Such a ruthless person—if one offended him and incurred his wrath, the consequences would be unimaginable. No one else knew Zhou Tianliang's thoughts, and Nora was completely unaware. Fortunately, he was unaware of this, otherwise he would surely have cried out that he was innocent.

I didn't do anything.

It's purely because Qingyun has a very poor mental fortitude.

"Let's go, take them out of here. They must be suffering after being trapped here for a day and a night."

"The most important thing is that there were no casualties, which is the only good news so far." Lin Beichen called out, and the group did not delay any longer and headed towards the Taoist temple ahead.

at the same time.

Feng Wu and Feng Ju arrived at Qingyun's location.

Lone Wolf and Zhaoren also arrived here shortly after.

Fang Qiu was filled with even more fear and unease; Qingyun's sudden outburst had quite frightened him.

"He should be alright, right?" Fang Qiu asked uncertainly.

Although he no longer has the same fondness for Qingyun as before.

But regardless, Qingyun was his current boss, and they had known each other for a long time. Naturally, he didn't want to see Qingyun die in the deep mountains, hence his question. Hearing Fang Qiu's question, Feng Wu replied uncertainly, "He should be alright, right?"

He wasn't sure either.

In places like this.

Qingyun wandered around aimlessly by himself.

Just now, it let out that piercing scream again.

Who knows if Qingyun is alive or dead now? He may have met with some misfortune.

"I hope he's safe," Feng Ju added. If such a prominent streamer were to die in Shanmen Village, it would be detrimental to their future plans and damage Shanmen Village's reputation. Therefore, he genuinely did not want Qingyun to lose his life there.

"He should be fine. Look ahead, he's right there."

Just as everyone was speculating, Wang Baozi spoke up.

His lips twitched slightly; these people's imaginations were really running wild.

They were standing there perfectly fine.

In their mouths, it became "life or death uncertain".

"Hey, you're actually alright!?" Fang Qiu was shocked.

A strange sense of loss even welled up inside him; Qingyun was truly unharmed. As for why Qingyun didn't join the others, it was naturally because he felt guilty.

wet his pants
Even if it has been simply processed.

He still felt a strange smell on his body.

I wanted to prolong the time so that the smell on my body would dissipate.

There was nothing he could do; the people had already arrived. Qingyun was at a loss, unsure whether to be grateful that these people considered him a companion or to resent that they had arrived too quickly. His feelings were quite complicated.

"Qingyun, are you alright?"

Feng Wu shouted from a distance.

As the son of the village chief of Shanmen Village, he is, after all, the host.

All who come are guests, and he naturally treats his guests with utmost respect.

"I...I'm fine. I encountered a wild animal just now, and I panicked a bit, accidentally falling into that puddle over there," Qingyun stammered, trying to explain his situation. There was indeed a small puddle not far away, and no one doubted his explanation.

But he did have a strange smell.

There was a lack of water here, and he was so dirty that it was difficult to clean him. Everyone subconsciously kept their distance from Qingyun, but they still expressed their concern.

"Are you really alright? What beast? Is it still there? Maybe we can use it to get out of here." Wang Baozi couldn't help but ask, eager to leave this awful place.

The longer you linger here...

He became increasingly uneasy.

"Ah, what wild beast? It was too dark to see clearly, it should have run away by now," Qingyun said guiltily, his words vague, clearly showing he was too frightened. Seeing that Qingyun was not in a good mood, Wang Baozi did not ask any more questions.

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as everyone is safe and sound."

“There will always be a way to leave, don’t panic. Are you hungry? There are some wild vegetables left here, eat something, you can’t survive without eating.” As Feng Wu spoke, he took out some wild vegetable roots from his body, the parts they had previously refused to eat.

Simply boil it in hot water.

It was packed in a simple bag.

It could be said to have absolutely no taste.

And it looks so unappetizing.

I thought Qingyun would refuse this junk food.

To everyone's surprise, he took the bag without saying a word.

He was now so hungry and weak that he couldn't care less about the taste of the food. Although he could still hold on, he truly couldn't go on any longer. Having food at all was a blessing; he didn't care about anything else. The wild vegetable roots even tasted slightly sweet, and only then did he understand the preciousness of food. Only now did he realize how incredibly foolish his previous actions had been.

He remembered that his assistant, Fang Qiu, had previously saved wild vegetables for him to eat.

Yet, she didn't know what was good for her and kept scolding him.

"I'm a real piece of trash," Qingyun thought to himself.

"Let's go back. This place is rather eerie; it's best to go back to the Taoist temple and wait until dawn to find a way out," Wang Baozi said to the group. They were all in the same boat now, sharing the burden, and he didn't want anything to happen to his companions.

"Okay, let's go back first."

"Yes, I also think it's safer inside the Taoist temple."

"Okay, let's go back now. We'll take turns keeping watch this night, just in case anything goes wrong."

The group discussed preparing to return.

They also plan to arrange for someone to keep watch this night.

Who knows if wild animals might suddenly leap out from the deep mountains? It's always safer to have someone keep watch at night.

"Shhh—"

A gentle night breeze rustled the leaves.

Footsteps could be heard as well.

At first, no one paid much attention.

I simply assumed it was the sound of my own or my companions' footsteps.

But when they returned to the Taoist temple, they could still hear rustling sounds behind them. Everyone's expression changed drastically; they all turned pale and felt terrified.

Good heavens, good heavens!!

Could there really be a problem?

The crowd instinctively gathered together.

It's as if this brings a little sense of security.

Just as everyone was at a loss, an unfamiliar male voice came.

His voice was strong and clear, without a hint of gloom; on the contrary, it sounded quite friendly. This immediately changed everyone's expression, especially Wang Baozi in the crowd. The voice was both strange and familiar.

Hearing that voice, he immediately recalled many experiences.

Isn't that Brother Lin Beichen? What's he doing here? Is it a hallucination? It shouldn't be wrong; perhaps Brother Lin Beichen learned of my predicament and rushed to my aid immediately. Wang Baozi quickly filled in a series of mental blanks.

"Isn't this Wang Baozi? He looks so disheveled after just a few days."

Lin Beichen smiled; Wang Baozi had indeed changed somewhat.

His face showed more composure than before. Even in this situation, he was able to remain calm and even guide everyone to stay calm, which shows he is quite capable.

"Oh dear, you look so slovenly!"

"Haven't seen you for a few days, Wang Baozi, you've gotten into such a mess? It's really disheartening."

As Lin Beichen finished speaking, Yu Feng's voice followed, laced with a teasing tone. With that, Yu Feng quickly came into Wang Baozi's view. Seeing Yu Feng, Wang Baozi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I saw my savior.

Finally, I see hope of leaving.

The moment he saw Lin Beichen, he knew he was saved.

"Brother Lin Beichen, I'm so touched. I never expected you to come and save me."

Wang Baozi said excitedly.

He subconsciously ignored Yu Feng beside him.

Yu Feng's lips twitched slightly, and he was speechless.

Despite his enthusiastic greeting, this guy completely ignored him.

This is exactly what they mean by "offering a warm face to a cold backside."

"Are you being polite?" Yu Feng thought to himself, even feeling a sudden urge to punch Wang Baozi. Looking at the crowd around him, he ultimately abandoned that unfriendly idea. They were all brothers; there was no need to fuss over such things. He should just let it go.

"Don't worry, everyone! This is Brother Lin Beichen, a very capable and close friend of mine. With him here, you'll definitely get out of here. I guarantee it with my integrity." Wang Baozi was incredibly excited when he saw Lin Beichen.

He noticed the curious looks on everyone's faces, and after his initial excitement subsided, he explained. After his introduction, everyone finally learned of Lin Beichen's identity as a Taoist priest.

"Well done, Wang Baozi. I didn't expect you to know someone like that."

"You, Wang Baozi, seem to have quite a bit of influence."

"Tell me, how much would it cost to hire such an expert?"

Qingyun chuckled and joked.

The previous frustration has now vanished.

He felt much better after learning that he could leave this awful place.

No one expected Qingyun to suddenly bring up the matter of payment.

Wang Baozi's expression instantly darkened. Talking about money was an insult to Brother Lin Beichen.
If it weren't for Brother Lin Beichen's righteous help back then...
How did I become who I am today?

Talking about money would be too formal, especially since this man is no ordinary person. He's extremely wealthy, and I might not be able to afford his compensation.

Wang Baozi, who had previously worked with Lin Beichen on missions, was well aware of this.

"Why aren't you saying anything? He saved us this time, so we should be compensated." Qingyun said matter-of-factly, his tone carrying an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Name your price.

He's still talking to himself.

Completely unaware of the fierce glint in Wang Baozi's eyes.

"Oh? You want to pay a reward? This brother seems to be from a well-off family. Just give him a hundred or two hundred thousand, we won't ask for more." Yu Feng replied casually, not expecting that people would still be eager to give money these days. Although they certainly didn't lack that small amount.

But it's not good to refuse someone who offers it to you.

In fact, Lin Beichen had no intention of accepting any payment.

Firstly, this matter is somewhat related to him.

The feng shui formation he set up affected the magnetic field of this place.

The resulting chain reaction trapped these people in the mountains, and he felt he needed to clean up the mess. Since he had caused the trouble, he couldn't just ignore it. Unexpectedly, someone offered to pay him; they seemed to be quite wealthy, and their words carried a strange arrogance.

"Well, a few hundred thousand will do, just a token amount."

Lin Beichen nodded, offering no objection to Yu Feng's asking price.

He really didn't expect to be offered this price.

Qingyun's face immediately turned ugly.

I thought it would be something that could be settled for a few tens of thousands of yuan, and that I could also show off my magnanimity.

He never expected that the fee would be so high; he simply couldn't afford it.

It's not that I can't afford it at all, it's just that I feel it's not worth wasting money.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

“I know a little about the going rate in this business, and I’ve hired fortune tellers before, but I’ve never seen anyone ask for such an exorbitant amount as you. You’re extorting me,” Qingyun said angrily to Lin Beichen.

Faced with these accusations, Lin Beichen felt utterly bewildered.

What's going on? I never intended to take the money, but you insisted on giving it to me, and now you think it's too expensive? If you don't want to give it, fine, why bother saying anything more? Lin Beichen didn't reply.

He wasn't there for the money.

If they don't want to give it, they don't want to give it; there's no loss in it.

Lin Beichen's indifferent indifference made Qingyun feel humiliated.

How dare this guy ignore me? He clearly looks down on me!

Zhang San remained silent, as did Nora-suke, while Yu Feng laughed heartily to the side. He chatted incessantly with Wang Baozi about recent interesting events, expressing his amazement repeatedly.

"You've done well, kid. I never thought you'd make it this far."

"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me, your brother who once fought alongside you."

Yu Feng's eyes lit up.

I am quite interested in Wang Baozi's experiences.

"How could I forget you? We used to be..." The two recalled the past, when they fought side by side when they destroyed the Sakura Kingdom's stronghold in the Kunlun Mountains.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they had a life-or-death friendship.

……

"You think I can't afford it? What kind of attitude is that? Damn it, you're really looking down on people."

Qingyun suddenly roared.

His eyes reddened, and the pent-up grievances of the past few days erupted at this moment.

Especially now, I feel unwell all over.

The filthy, foul smell nearly drove him to the brink of collapse.

Coupled with the contempt shown by these people, they felt even more looked down upon.

Of course, this was purely Qingyun's wishful thinking; Lin Beichen had no intention of looking down on him. He was surveying the surrounding terrain and was quite interested in the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is clearly the key element of the feng shui arrangement.

It contains something never seen before.

If the speculation is correct, there should still be relics of the ancestors preserved in this Qingfeng Taoist Temple.

"Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed."

"The inheritance of the Taoist temple will be passed on to me..." Just as he thought this, a hysterical roar came from the left. Lin Beichen frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that Qingyun's eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly about to lose control.

"Such a fragile mind? Logically speaking, the feng shui of this place shouldn't affect one's mind." Lin Beichen muttered to himself, quite surprised by Qingyun's behavior.

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng immediately recalled Lin Beichen's earlier words.

A few days ago, when I was setting up a feng shui arrangement at the village entrance to deal with those thugs,
Lin Beichen had explained why those people went insane and killed each other.

Lin Beichen hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Yu Feng was the first to lose his temper and burst into a tirade of curses. (End of Chapter)
