Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 58 Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

“Patriarch Lü, I had no such intention.”

Zhong Tao's expression changed, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly clasped his hands in apology to Lü Wen.

Lu Wen snorted coldly, and then continued, "As I just said, that demon's heart meridian has been shattered by my Lu family's Ruyi Force. Even if a god came, he would have a hard time saving him!"

Zhao Zhen is right, the gong has been struck, and all grudges have been settled!
We have all settled our grudges with that demon, which is something everyone just nodded in agreement with!
If anyone still wants to cause trouble, then please forgive my Lü family for not playing along!

Ladies and gentlemen! Farewell!

After saying that, Lü Wen led the Lü family down the mountain without hesitation.

After the Lü family left in anger, the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, Lin Feng, the sect leader of Liuyun Sword Sect, stepped forward once again.

"I'll say it again: this demon's heart meridian is severed, and there's no chance of survival. This matter is settled, and I, the Flowing Cloud Sword, will not accompany you any longer!"

Seeing that the two powerful families, the Lü family and the Liuyun Sword family, had left, the remaining people knew that if they continued to stay, they would not only be in the wrong, but would also indirectly offend the two families.

Thinking of this, the righteous people also began to walk down the mountain.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhong Tao gritted his teeth, sheathed his sword, and slunk off with the others as they headed down the mountain.

Before long, the open space that was originally crowded with people was left with only Zhao Zhen.

An hour later, Zhao Zhen carried Duan Chuan's body down the mountain and, as agreed, buried it under the red maple tree in front of his old home.

After helping the old man erect a tombstone and inscribing it with "Tomb of Venerable Master Jin Guang, Duan Chuan," Zhao Zhen knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the tombstone.

"Old man, now that everyone's gone, you can finally have some peace and quiet."

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen turned his head and saw that Wu Gensheng and Wang Yaozu were slowly walking towards him from behind.

"As expected, that old ghost still made you bury him here..."

Wang Yaozu glanced at the tombstone, then sighed again, "Lu Wen was right, that old ghost has a lucky life. I wonder if someone will erect a tombstone for me after I die..."

"What are you here for?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Wugensheng behind him.

Wugensheng did not reply, but simply kowtowed three times to Duan Chuan's tombstone.

"Feel sorry."

"Apologize for what?"

"Naturally, it is the death of the Venerable One."

"Didn't you say that the old man figured it out on his own? It has nothing to do with you," Zhao Zhen said calmly.

Wugensheng was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle.

This guy actually used his own words to shut himself up...

"Wugensheng, do you still remember what you once told me about the four types of people?"

"I remember." Wugensheng nodded.

"While I don't disagree with your statement, I still want to offer you a piece of advice."

"What?"

"Although you call yourself a fourth type of person, being a know-it-all is never a good habit."

Wugensheng was taken aback and looked at Zhao Zhen with some suspicion.

Before he could even speak, Zhao Zhen interrupted him coldly.

"Gentlemen, once you've finished paying your respects, please leave quickly. Since the karmic connection has ended, that old man is no longer considered a member of your Quanxing Sect, and there's no need for you to come and pay your respects to him anymore." Wang Yaozu didn't speak, but only took one last look at Duan Chuan's tombstone before walking outside.

As for Wugensheng, he also looked at Zhao Zhen with some curiosity before leaving.

"Brother Zhao, where do you plan to go next?"

"With the master dead, it is only right for the disciple to observe seven days of mourning for him."

Faced with Zhao Zhen's nonsensical answer, Wugensheng opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

In the end, Wugensheng and his group left again.
-
Seven days later, the mourning period ended, and Zhao Zhen took off her mourning clothes, folded them neatly, and placed them in the old man's room.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the red maple tree.

Walking alone on the streets of the small town, an unprecedented sense of loneliness suddenly arose.

From now on, he will truly be all alone.

After a brief moment of sadness, Zhao Zhen slowly shook his head, banishing all the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

Those who came before us have passed away, and those who are still alive should carry on their legacy and live well.

Before we knew it, it was almost 1930, just over a year before the war broke out.

Although Zhao Zhen was confident that he could save his life with his current abilities, he did not intend to only think about protecting himself when the country was in crisis.

Over the years, he has traveled extensively and learned many techniques.

It possesses the ability to conceal itself through the Mirage Formation, the Golden Escape Formation for escaping, and the Ghost Needle Formation which combines killing and saving lives. It can be said that its magical techniques are quite sophisticated.

The only thing Zhao Zhen lacks now is the core cultivation method for improving one's life force.

Just as the Celestial Master's Mansion has the Golden Light Mantra and the Quanzhen School has its own unique Golden Elixir Heart Method, the Golden Escape Flowing Light is ultimately more inclined towards escape techniques than cultivating life force and spiritual cultivation.

This can be seen from the fact that there is still a real difference in the cultivation level of life force between Zhao Zhen and Zhang Zhiwei.

Even with the ability to perform the "Stepping the Divine Path" technique, Zhao Zhen is still far inferior to Zhang Zhiwei in terms of combat endurance.

Therefore, before that great battle arrives, Zhao Zhen must first find a way to solve his biggest weakness.

However, those techniques that specialize in cultivating one's life force are mostly passed down only within major sects.

Although Zhao Zhen had already broken free from his identity as a disciple of the Quanxing Demon Clan after the end of the pilgrimage, he did not want to become a disciple of anyone else.

In his entire life, he will only recognize this old man as his master!
Just as Zhao Zhen was racking his brains about how to solve the current problem, a familiar figure in the distance instantly made him frown.

The next instant, Zhao Zhen's figure disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, outside Duan Chuan's former residence, Zhong Tao muttered to himself, "This should be it, right? That old man's house..."

Upon seeing the tombstone erected by Zhao Zhen under the red maple tree, Zhong Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So you're here after all, old man. I'll see if you're really dead!"

Just as Zhong Tao was about to pick up the shovel he carried with him and start digging the grave, an extremely cold voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Since you miss that old man so much, then go down and keep him company."

The next instant, a silver needle emitting black smoke silently pierced Zhong Tao's head.

Pfft!
With almost no struggle, Zhong Tao fell straight forward and remained motionless.

Behind him, Zhao Zhen's figure slowly appeared.

He glanced coldly at Zhong Tao's corpse on the ground, but instead of burying it, he left it exposed there. He then left a few large characters on the ground next to the corpse before turning and leaving.

"Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"
