Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 111 Choose the Rootless One

After spending a pleasant two weeks with the little fox in the cave, Zhao Zhen estimated that it was about time and that most of the people who were supposed to come had arrived, so he left the cave with the little fox.

On the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains, a group of Quanxing disciples were sitting together in a small circle, resting.

"Little Li, we've been searching in the mountains for almost half a month now, and we haven't even seen a trace of Zhao Zhen, let alone a hair on his head."

Could this kid have tricked all of us and then secretly slipped away using his Golden Escape Technique?

"Probably not. Given Zhao Zhen's personality, if he says he won't leave the Qinling Mountains anytime soon, then he must still be in the Qinling Mountains."

Am I right, Sect Leader?

Wugensheng, who was muttering to himself, was suddenly mentioned and immediately looked up with a blank expression.

"Sect Leader, why do you seem so distracted ever since you entered the Qinling Mountains?"

Li Muxuan asked with some doubt.

Wugensheng did not reply, but simply shook his head with a light laugh.

Others may not understand what's so special about the Qinling Mountains, but he, having been to the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley, knows it all too well.

Why did Zhao Zhen choose this location? Could it be that he really wants to use the aura of this place to wipe everyone out in one fell swoop?

If that's really the case, isn't this guy's method a bit too ruthless?
With this in mind, helping Li Muxuan had become completely irrelevant to Wugensheng.

Compared to nearly half of the Quanxing disciples here, a mere Quanxing "bad boy" is utterly insignificant!
The problem now is that even as the leader of Quanxing Sect, Wugensheng has no right to force his disciples to do or not do certain things.

Are you suggesting he tell everyone how dangerous this place is and urge them to leave immediately? That idea is clearly unrealistic.

Therefore, the only one who can stop this "human tragedy" right now is probably Zhao Zhen himself.

Just as Wugensheng was pondering whether or not to take the people around him to the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Wugensheng, I didn't expect even you to come."

Wugensheng turned his head and saw Zhao Zhen squinting at him.

"If I hadn't come, wouldn't the Qinling Mountains have become a river of blood?"

Wugensheng raised an eyebrow and slowly walked towards Zhao Zhen.

"I need to talk to you about something. Let's talk first."

At the same time, Li Muxuan trembled the moment he saw Zhao Zhen.

Three years! Do you know how I've spent these past three years?!
Without any hesitation, Li Muxuan immediately rushed towards Zhao Zhen, one step ahead of Wugensheng.

boom!
But in the next second, a fist suddenly grew larger and larger in Li Muxuan's vision, and finally hit his crossed arms solidly, knocking him back to his original position.

"Brother Gao, what are you doing?!"

Li Muxuan shouted angrily.

"Li Muxuan, the sect leader still has something to say to Mr. Zhao, didn't you notice?" Gao Gen said coldly.

"That's right, Li Muxuan. Since the sect leader has promised to help you, you'd better behave yourself."

"If you dare disturb the sect leader again, be careful, we won't be polite to you!"

Mei Jinfeng glared at him, and behind her, Xia Liuqing also looked at Li Muxuan with an equally unfriendly expression.

Although Gu Qiting didn't say anything, his silence at this moment already spoke volumes about his attitude.

Seeing this, Li Muxuan gritted his teeth, but in the end he could only obediently sit back in his seat.

He knew that if he continued to act recklessly, these people might actually kill him! Behind him, Yuan Jingui suddenly smiled strangely.

Ahead, Zhao Zhen and Wugensheng reached a secluded spot and stopped in their tracks.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Brother Zhao, what exactly are you planning to do this time?" Wugensheng asked, frowning.

“Wugensheng, it’s not about what I want to do now, but what your disciples of Quanxing want to do.”

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook her head.

Wugensheng glanced at the demon sword Hirumaru carried on Zhao Zhen's back, then frowned and said, "Give me this demon sword, and this matter ends here."

"That won't do. I had to swallow my pride and borrow this knife from the Lü family after a lot of trouble."

Since it's borrowed, I'll naturally return it to the Lü family sooner or later. How could I just give it to you like this?"

At this point, a strange smile gradually crept onto Zhao Zhen's lips.

"Moreover, you, Wugensheng, are the leader of the Quanxing Sect. What difference is there between me giving you this demonic sword and giving it to those Quanxing members who came to Qinling to try and snatch it from me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll go and reveal all the secrets of that valley right now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen gave Wugensheng a deep look.

After a long silence, Zhao Zhen finally spoke up: "Wugensheng, do you still remember the way I told you about guiding Quanxing to unleash their power?"

"Of course I remember, it's about resisting Japan and saving the country, but..."

"However, the Quanxing disciples are extremely selfish. They won't fight the Japanese to the death unless their interests are truly harmed, right?"

Zhao Zhen interrupted.

“Not bad.” Wugensheng nodded.

To be honest, he didn't really like the feeling of being led by the nose all the time.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for profit. There's nothing strange about that."

However, since these Quanxing disciples feel they have no conflict of interest with the Japanese, then I will give them one.

"You want to borrow this demon sword..."

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"Right now, there are more than just you Quanxing disciples in the Qinling Mountains."

"how do you know?"

"I have my own methods."

"So, your goal is to use our Quanxing Sect to kill those Hieiyama ninjas."

"Now that things have come to this, I might as well be frank with you. Anyone who comes here today with greed for this sword, whether they are from the Quanxing sect or the Hieiyama ninja, will all die."

Upon hearing this, even Wugensheng, who had experienced countless storms, was instantly startled by Zhao Zhen's words, his pupils shrinking sharply.

"You don't need to be so surprised. I said I would give them a reasonable conflict to fight."

Since it is a conflict, the bigger the better. What conflict is more acute than hatred?
"Choose, Wugensheng. As the leader of Quanxing Sect, in your heart, which is more important: the path Quanxing Sect has taken, or the lives of these Quanxing disciples whose eyes are blinded by greed?"
