But he couldn't just stand by and watch the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain be plunged into bloodshed because of him.

The secret he has silently guarded for decades is not only to protect his senior brother Zhang Huaiyi's reputation, but also to maintain the lofty status and reputation of Longhu Mountain.

"Senior brother, this is absolutely not allowed," Tian Jinzhong hurriedly dissuaded him, his voice revealing deep concern.

"We cannot allow Longhu Mountain to fall into endless conflict and slaughter because of my own actions."

Zhang Zhiwei squinted and said calmly, "Junior brother, I have made up my mind about this matter. Just rest and recuperate. There's no need to worry about it."

Although Tian Jinzhong was resurrected, he had experienced death after all, and Zhang Zhiwei's anger was hard to quell.

As the most outstanding figure in the world, to have his junior brother die tragically on his own turf is an utter disgrace.

If this gets out, what will become of Longhu Mountain's reputation?

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Zhang Zhiwei felt he had to go down the mountain and teach those who dared to provoke Longhu Mountain a severe lesson.

Just as the two brothers were talking, and even arguing because of their differing opinions, Xingliu broke the silence.

He walked up to Zhang Zhiwei and asked bluntly:

"Now that your junior brother has been resurrected, it's your turn to fulfill your promise. When can you hand over the Heavenly Scroll to me?"

Zhang Zhiwei felt a headache after hearing this, even though he knew Lu Jin would definitely give him the Tongtian Talisman if he went to ask for it himself.

But then he'll definitely be met with ridicule again, and since he's decided to go down the mountain to wipe out the Quanxing sect, asking for the Tongtian Scroll will become a hindrance.

So he was stumped for a moment.

Seeing the troubled look on Zhang Zhiwei's face, Xingliu thought for a moment and understood the reason.

In the original novel, when Zhang Zhiwei went on a killing spree after descending the mountain, Lu Jin came to persuade him to stop, and it seems unlikely that this time will be no different.

However, unlike the original story, Zhang Zhiwei needs to ask Lu Jin for the Tongtian Talisman because of the Star Flow.

It is said that eating people is short-tongued and taking advantage of others is soft-handed.

When Lu Jin steps in to dissuade Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Zhiwei can't just ignore the favor and attack Lu Jin directly, can he?

Thinking about this, Xingliu couldn't help but smile slightly, finding the matter increasingly interesting.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he retrieved a dusty videotape from the alternate dimension.

A smug smile appeared on his face as he said to Zhang Zhiwei, "Master, I have something that might solve your current predicament."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei looked at Xingliu curiously, wondering what he was up to now.

Xingliu didn't keep them in suspense any longer, directly holding up the videotape in his hand and mysteriously saying:

"Does the old Celestial Master still remember that contest with Lu Jin when you were young?"

Zhang Zhiwei's lips curled up slightly; he had already understood Xingliu's intention.

Although it's unknown how Xingliu obtained the videotape, that's not important.

He said confidently, "With this in hand, I can retrieve the Tongtian Scroll today."

Xingliu smiled and nodded, handing the videotape to Zhang Zhiwei.

The two exchanged a smile, both revealing a hint of cunning and ill intent.

Tian Jinzhong watched from the sidelines, completely bewildered, having no idea what kind of riddle they were playing.

However, he instinctively felt that he should perhaps pray for Lu Jin.

The appearance of this videotape seems to foreshadow an exciting show that is about to unfold.

After handing the videotape to Zhang Zhiwei with peace of mind, Xingliu chose to leave.

He had unwavering faith in the Old Celestial Master's credibility, and he believed that Zhang Zhiwei would not break his promise over such a small matter.

After all, in the eyes of the Old Celestial Master, the Eight Extraordinary Skills, though unique, were not something that could not be shared.

He felt completely at ease entrusting the task to someone like Xingliu, who was even stronger than him.

Because he needed to help Xingliu obtain the Tongtian Talisman, Zhang Zhiwei wasn't in a hurry to go down the mountain today.

After arranging the aftermath, he went out to find Lu Jin.

Tian Jinzhong was naturally by his side, and Zhang Zhiwei was already somewhat frightened by what had happened today.

If it weren't for Xingliu, he would have lost his junior brother completely.

Meanwhile, Xingliu had returned to the venue and reunited with Xia He and the others.

Due to the Quanxing sect's attack on the mountain, the Luotian Grand Ceremony was forced to be temporarily cancelled.

However, for Xingliu, he had already achieved all his goals for this trip, and there was no need for him to linger any longer.

However, he had not yet obtained the Tongtian Talisman, and he needed to wait another day.

During the days he spent with Zhang Chulan, he was always busy serving Xingliu.

His thoughtfulness and consideration made Xingliu sigh that this kid really knew how to treat people.

Whether it's serving tea or preparing food, Zhang Chulan always manages to meet Xingliu's needs perfectly.

Although it was clearly purposeful, Xingliu still felt very pleased with this attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

Xingliu was not a heartless person, and naturally knew what Zhang Chulan wanted.

However, he really had nothing more to tell Zhang Chulan's grandfather.

As the person directly involved, Zhang Zhiwei was more aware of the inside story than Xingliu.

Since he couldn't help Zhang Chulan in these aspects, Xingliu decided to help him from a different angle.

He knew that so many people coveted Zhang Chulan's Qi Source Flow, so he decided to give Zhang Chulan the power to protect himself.

After parting ways with Zhang Chulan this time, it is highly unlikely that they will meet again, so Xingliu plans to leave something for Zhang Chulan before leaving.

With Xingliu's current abilities, he can significantly weaken his own power and seal it onto someone else.

Thus, Zhang Chulan had the privilege of becoming the first user of the technology that Xingliu developed in just five minutes.

When Xingliu gently patted Zhang Chulan's shoulder, injecting that power into his body, Zhang Chulan felt a warm current flow through him, as if something had been imprinted deep within his soul.

He explored his body in amazement, trying to feel the newfound power.

Seeing Zhang Chulan's surprised yet slightly uneasy expression, Xingliu smiled and explained:

"Don't be nervous, I've just left some power within you. It's a fire power, with the property of destroying everything. It can be your lifeline in times of crisis."

He paused, then added, "This power can be used ten times, after which it will dissipate on its own. So you must use it with caution."

Zhang Chulan listened to Xingliu's explanation, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He was both grateful for Xingliu's generous help and felt a little uneasy about this unknown force.

He couldn't help but ask, "This flame... won't it burn through the mark and set me on fire?"

Xingliu couldn't help but smile slightly as he looked at Zhang Chulan's nervous expression.

He pretended to look guilty and turned his head away, but said firmly:

"Don't worry, that will never happen. Don't you know my strength? The forces I left behind are absolutely safe."

Then he added, "Well, probably not."

Chapter 227 The Heavenly Talisman

Zhang Chulan was both amused and exasperated by Xingliu's "probably not" remark, and he suddenly shouted:

"What do you mean by 'approximately'?!"

Xingliu couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Zhang Chulan's tense yet slightly comical expression.

He gently patted Zhang Chulan's shoulder, reassuring him, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Since I dared to leave my power to you, I have absolute confidence in ensuring your safety."

The two exchanged a smile, tacitly ending the little farce.

Zhang Chulan knew that Xingliu was teasing him, but he pretended not to know and played along with Xingliu's act.

Xingliu understood that Zhang Chulan was deliberately cooperating with him, but he was happy to continue like this.

Following this, Zhang Chulan expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Xingliu:

"Senior Xingliu, thank you for your generous assistance. I, Zhang Chulan, will always remember this kindness."

His voice was full of sincerity and gratitude, which made Xingliu feel his earnestness.

However, Xingliu responded in his usual carefree manner: "Stop being so fussy, are you even a man? I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he turned and left with Xia He, leaving Zhang Chulan standing there in astonishment.

Feng Baobao looked at their backs with some hesitation, seemingly lost in thought.

After leaving with Xingliu, Xia He saw that there was no one around, and her true nature began to show.

Her eyes were filled with teasing and anticipation as she looked at Xingliu, and she spoke softly, her breath sweet as orchids:

"You looked so impressive today! I wonder if you'll always be this impressive in the future?"

Xingliu felt the softness and warmth of Xia He's arm and heard her provocative words, and an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.

He laughed and replied, "Hmm? Don't you know how imposing I am?"

With that, he picked Xia He up and disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they had arrived in a mysterious alternate dimension.

The accommodations here are decorated in a warm and comfortable style, like a secluded paradise.

Upon returning here, Xia He's eyes became even more charming and alluring.

She stretched out a fair and delicate arm and gently pushed Xingliu away, saying coquettishly, "You gave all the things to that Zhang Chulan, what about mine?"

Her words revealed a hint of coquetry and anticipation.

Xingliu raised an eyebrow and pulled Xia He back into his arms.

He looked down at Xia He's charming face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're mine now, so of course I'll protect you with all my might."

The door to the room then closed automatically and slowly, isolating them from the outside world.

All that could be seen was Xia He's small feet, clad in silk stockings, constantly curling up.
