I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The next morning, as dawn broke, the mountain village was shrouded in a thin mist, appearing peaceful and serene.

Zhang Yangqing had just woken up and walked out of the village house where he was temporarily staying. He stretched his limbs, his face still showing a bit of lazy sleepiness.

For him, what happened last night was probably just a trivial incident that could be easily resolved.

Just then, a commotion came from the direction of the village entrance.

Then Xiao Xuan, Chen Wen, and Xiao Wan following behind returned, their feet glistening with morning dew.

Xiao Xuan's Taoist robe was stained with bloodstains that had turned dark brown. Although he had cleaned himself up, he still had a lingering, mixed aura of demonic energy.

That was the murderous aura and bloodlust naturally tainted by the large-scale battle, which had not yet completely dissipated, making him look like a demon god who had just returned from the battlefield, completely out of place in this peaceful mountain village.

Almost simultaneously, a commotion arose from another direction.

The old village chief, who had rushed to the city overnight to seek help, hurriedly returned with two young men dressed in black suits, exuding a capable and efficient air.

The village chief, his face full of anxiety, pointed at Xiao Xuan and his group who had just entered the village, and said to the man in the suit beside him, "Comrades, it's them! Look at the terrifyingly strong demonic aura emanating from him, he must be a powerful demon in human form!!"

The two Dragon Group field agents stationed in this area behind him were quite capable. Upon hearing this, they immediately became alert, their auras instantly turning heavy, and their sharp gazes locked onto Xiao Xuan's back.

One of them had already quietly placed his hand on the specially made weapon at his waist.

However, when their gaze shifted slightly and they saw Zhang Yangqing standing next to Xiao Xuan, yawning and looking like he hadn't woken up yet, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and the vigilance and solemnity on their faces were instantly replaced by surprise and respect!

"What are you doing here?" one of them exclaimed, quickly pressing down on his companion's hand. The two of them strode forward and stopped a few steps away from Zhang Yangqing, straightening their backs and giving a perfect salute with utmost respect.

The village chief, who was about to step forward to explain the "demon situation" further, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. His mouth was agape, and he couldn't process what was happening for a moment.

Why would the expert he hired, a top-notch official from the city specializing in handling special incidents, salute a companion of a "great demon"? Are they in cahoots?!
"I'm doomed!" the village chief cried out in his heart. His legs started to cramp, and he instinctively wanted to back away and turn to run away.

At this moment, the Dragon Group staff member who had spoken earlier had reacted. Seeing the village chief's terrified expression, he couldn't help but smile, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and gently explained, "Village chief, don't be afraid, and don't misunderstand. This is not some great demon."

He pointed to Zhang Yangqing, his tone filled with reverence: "This is the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, Celestial Master Zhang Yangqing. He is the most outstanding master in our Dragon Kingdom's cultivation world and a true leader of the righteous path who protects this region."

The village chief was completely confused, but he understood the terms "Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain," "top-tier," and "leader of the righteous path." His extreme fear instantly turned into extreme shock and bewilderment.

Looking at Zhang Yangqing and then at Xiao Xuan, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, Old Hu, the shaman who had just woken up from his coma, also rushed out of his house.

He was still somewhat confused, having just woken up, but upon seeing Zhang Yangqing, he instantly snapped awake, all sleepiness vanishing. He hurriedly ran over and, without a word, bowed deeply to Zhang Yangqing, his attitude even more respectful than when meeting the deity he worshipped in his own home.

"Junior Hu San pays respects to Celestial Master Zhang! I was unaware of your presence and have failed to greet you properly. I beg your forgiveness!"

He was someone who truly mingled on the edge of the extraordinary, and he knew the weight of the five words "Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain"—a figure of the patriarchal level, someone one could only look up to!

After finishing his greetings, Old Hu noticed the village chief standing nervously beside him. He was immediately furious, remembering how the village chief had wanted him to "deal with" this powerful figure the day before. Overwhelmed with fear, he was even more enraged. Pointing at the village chief, he hissed, "You old fool! Trying to get me killed? This is Zhang Tianshi! A true terrestrial deity! Even I have to kowtow and pay my respects to him! You sent me yesterday! I almost committed a grave offense!"

The village chief was scolded and became meek and submissive, his face turning red and white in turns. Only then did he fully realize the huge blunder he had made and the very important person he had offended.

He quickly turned to Zhang Yangqing and stammered an apology: "Master Zhang, this old man was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I thought I deserved to die, I was so foolish! Please, sir, don't hold it against an old country bumpkin like me. I was just terrified by the commotion in the mountains, afraid something might happen to the village."

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Yangqing finally understood what had happened at the village chief's place last night.

He didn't really care about it, waving his hand and saying in a calm tone, "It's alright, it's just your duty. You care about the safety of the villagers, which is understandable, and you've done a good job."

Seeing that Zhang Yangqing really didn't blame them, the village chief and Lao Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Their awe of this legendary Celestial Master grew even stronger, not only because of his extraordinary strength but also because of his remarkable demeanor.

Zhang Yangqing was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters anymore. He gestured to the two Dragon Group staff members and said, "My junior brother Xiao Xuan has almost finished dealing with the matters in the mountains. There are still some things to wrap up. You can contact him for details. As for what kind of cooperation is needed or how to deal with this area afterward, you can follow the rules."

After saying that, he yawned again, seemingly enjoying the cool morning breeze. He turned and slowly strolled back into the house, intending to take another nap or simply calm his mind.

The two Dragon Group staff members quickly replied "Yes," and respectfully watched Zhang Yangqing leave before turning to Xiao Xuan.

Although they were young, they were capable of entering the Dragon Group, so their eyesight and knowledge were not bad. They could naturally sense the still-lingering aura of lightning magic on Xiao Xuan and the sharp temperament honed by this battle. They knew that he was definitely the core disciple of Longhu Mountain in this generation, with formidable strength, and dared not be negligent.

The two walked aside and began to talk in hushed tones.

Xiao Xuan briefly explained the Fox Clan's collusion with the supernatural, their raising of a large army, and his overnight "visit" of the other four great immortal clans.

Upon hearing the phrase "hundreds of thousands of strange troops," the two Dragon Group members' expressions changed drastically. However, when they learned that Zhang Tianshi had dealt with them with ease, their expressions turned to utter shock. Since Zhang Tianshi had personally taken action, there was probably no problem.

When they learned that Xiao Xuan had taken the Cleansing Sword last night and used swift and decisive methods to defeat the other four families, kill the ringleaders and core members, and purge the main forces in this mountain range that were colluding with the supernatural, leaving behind a warning, their eyes were filled with even more admiration when they looked at Xiao Xuan.

Although the methods are somewhat ruthless, such a heavy-handed deterrent may be the most effective and permanent way to deal with these local tyrants who have been entrenched for many years, maintaining a distant relationship with humans, and now daring to cross the line of their bizarre collusion.

The next steps are clear: verify the situation, eliminate any remaining destabilizing factors, appease any other potentially frightened demons or spirits, reassess and establish a new supernatural order in the area, and communicate with local villages to ensure long-term stability.

These are the areas of expertise for the Dragon Group.

The mountain village gradually returned to its former tranquility, but the air seemed to have lost some of the faint gloom and oppression that belonged to the deep mountains and forests, and gained a clarity and peace after being cleansed by thunder.

Chen Wen was also lucky. Because of a kind act, his special bloodline, and his involvement in this incident, he unexpectedly gained the qualification to enter Longhu Mountain for further study.

This was undoubtedly an incredible opportunity for him, allowing him to step into the sacred land of the Xuanmen sect, which he had only heard of in legends before.

Of course, it's just for further study; it's still very difficult to get into the Longhushan organization.

After bidding farewell to the mountain village, Chen Wen arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain in a special car arranged by the Dragon Group, accompanied by Xiao Xuan. His heart was filled with both excitement and trepidation. (End of Chapter)
