Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

After the old Taoist family landed, they hurriedly walked towards Quan Xiaotong.

Four outstanding individuals from one family.

If we don't count ordinary people, the old Taoist, with his own cultivation at the Divine Realm, taught three disciples at the Divine Realm level.

That alone is enough to draw attention.

This was also the reason why the Four Extremes Hall couldn't stand the old Taoist priest back then; it was one thing for him to be amazing himself, but even his teaching of disciples was amazing.

He gets all the good things; how could they possibly be happy about it?

Upon seeing the people, the old Taoist grinned and said without any politeness, "Who do we have here? It's you two fools, and the stray dogs from the Underworld."

It has to be said that the old Taoist priest was skilled in verbal persuasion; he almost made all four of them go berserk with just one word.

Wuxian was the last to arrive in Zhongzhou, and it had been several thousand years since they last met.
With a gloomy face, he pulled the others aside and retorted, "Fifth Brother, is all you can do now is talk big?"

"Whether it's quick wit or not, you can try it yourself."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, Mu Zili and the other two had already stepped forward.

Wuxian frowned deeply, unable to understand where the old Taoist got such confidence.

He's already a cripple, yet he still dares to provoke them like this.

But he soon found out.

Quan Xiaotong silently took out a pill and handed it to the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest gladly accepted it and swallowed it whole in front of everyone.

bump!
A tremendous roar erupted instantly, and the ensuing aura nearly overturned everything around it.

Wuxian and the others were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the young Taoist who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Yin Wang may not have felt much yet, he was only shocked by the old Taoist's power change from nothing to something.

As for Wuxian and Shang Wanfeng, they were dumbfounded, and their faces turned extremely ugly in an instant.

An unpleasant memory was resurfacing in his mind, and that hateful figure gradually became clearer, eventually overlapping with the Taoist priest in the present moment.

The person is still the same person, arrogant and flamboyant.

The taste is still the same, so familiar it's almost unbearable.

The old Taoist smacked his lips before slowly speaking, "Fourth Brother's cultivation is just so-so, I'll make do with him. Can you speak properly now?"

Yin Wang sneered. He had heard a bit about the old Taoist's deeds. After all, they had fought each other for so long that he could at least recognize all the people on both sides, if not know them by name.

Even if the old Taoist priest recovers his cultivation, he will still be inferior to them, so why should he be afraid?

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, it was unexpected that it wasn't Quan Xiaotong who tried to mediate, but rather Wuxian, one of the parties involved.

Wuxian grabbed Yinwang and shook his head with a livid expression.

He knew the old Taoist priest best; the fact that the other party was so arrogant meant he must be confident in dealing with them.

Let's not even talk about the fact that we're not here to cause trouble today.

"Don't forget why we came here."

Wuxian said this, and Yinwang finally suppressed his anger.

Things have returned to square one, and the group is speaking to Quan Xiaotong again.

"Although Zhongzhou has gained some momentum now, the gap is still too large. Everyone understands the importance of the rules. I don't believe you are willing to sit and wait for those two to gradually take away more of the rules."

Wu Xian spoke coldly.

He was telling the truth. Although Zhongzhou has some strength now, its foundation is still lacking.

Or perhaps it's not just their foundation; the Celestials' methods are indeed quite powerful, even though they poached cultivators from the Yama Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect, who had been developing for thousands of years.

But even that couldn't stop the Dharma-like monsters and the army of Faceless Ones.

Yin Wang chimed in, "It's undeniable that our fate will be extremely tragic, but when we're truly at our wits' end..."

"If we can't survive, then nobody should survive!"

Before Yin Wang could finish speaking, Wu Xian interrupted him in a cold voice, his words carrying a hidden threat.

They lacked the ability to survive alone against the Celestials on both sides.

However, they do have the ability to cause trouble in Central Continent.

"I have a terrible temper!"

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but take action and launched into a tirade against the four of them.

"You four unlucky bastards will be struck by tribulation lightning within twenty breaths." The four men's expressions changed, especially Wuxian, who knew the old Taoist's background well, whose face turned ashen.

“Just follow your words!”

"Such a rule is impossible!"

The demon immediately turned around, still refuting the claim with disbelief.

But after he finished speaking, there was no one around him. The old Taoist had already pulled Quan Xiaotong away, and the layman was also taken away by his master Chen Xixi. The surrounding cultivators were all gone.

Only four people were left standing there dumbfounded, when suddenly dark clouds gathered overhead, with thunder surging within.

Tribulation lightning!

The four of them suddenly changed their expressions.

Staring in the direction the old Taoist priest had fled as if he had seen a ghost, had he really succeeded?

Lies can be hard to detect, but the lightning bolts overhead never lie.

A moment later, thousands of thunderbolts crashed down, and the entire old site of the new city was once again met with a devastating blow.

Quan Xiaotong stared at the distant lightning, his eyes twitching incessantly. He was equally astonished by the old man's methods.

"Is it really true that words become law?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, but once it was brought up, the old Taoist's face, which had just begun to improve, instantly fell apart.

We probably won't hear the phrase "words become law" anymore.

It's upsetting to hear that.

"What nonsense! That bastard Zhi Sou is just fooling me."

The old Taoist priest gritted his teeth and squeezed out each word.

Rather than saying that words can become law, this is more like a jinx.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong; his words always brought people all sorts of negative things, but never had a positive effect.

For example, he wanted to try to see if he could gradually speed up Su Xiaoxiao's pace.

It turned out to be completely useless; in fact, it gave him diarrhea every time.

It turns out everything was foreshadowed all along; that damned wise old man was just targeting him alone.

The old Taoist priest poured out his grievances, but Quan Xiaotong's expression was extremely strange.

"This seems to be not much different from the idea that what you say will become law, and whatever you say will bring bad luck."

At least that's what he thought.

The old Taoist smiled bitterly. Quan Xiaotong had indeed never tasted a pancake before. This so-called wise old man was just talking nonsense about the Dao, which could be anything.

What is this operation?
Even if it brings bad luck, it has to be within a logical framework.

"How does it make sense?"

Quan Xiaotong kindly offered to offer advice, but the old Taoist priest just scoffed.

"At least I can't make the sun fall from the sky and kill people, and the stars aren't much better."

Therefore, this is far from what the old man expected.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. So this was the reason for the old Taoist's hesitation?
"Master, why don't you quit while you're ahead? This is pretty outrageous."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but advise that having lightning strike people was already outrageous enough, and having the sun fall down was completely unnecessary.

"Yes! Old man, don't be too greedy!"

Even Chen Xixi felt that the old man was too shrewd, because the power that the rules of misfortune were currently displaying was already terrifying enough.

"That tribulation lightning is only the most basic kind; it won't kill them."

The old Taoist sighed. Everyone had overestimated his rules. If it was misfortune, how could it possibly lead to death?

At most, it will just leave these people looking disheveled.

Sure enough, just as he said, when the four of them reappeared not long after, the clouds and fog had cleared.

Wuxian almost ground his back teeth to powder. Damn it, Fifth Brother, he's really made a comeback.

The lightning strikes don't cause much damage, but they are extremely humiliating.

If the old Taoist priest talked to them for half a day, they would probably be unable to do anything and would be driven crazy by the endless stream of tribulation lightning. (End of this chapter)
