Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

It was he who told Lin Rufeng about Tang Miaoxing's arrival.

That day, he received a phone call informing him that the Tang Clan leader had personally come out of seclusion. He felt that he should tell Lin Rufeng about this in advance to avoid a conflict where his own people would fight each other.

That kid never intended to let the Tang Clan go from the very beginning.

If he hadn't known what was going on, he would have suspected that he was one of their accomplices, someone who had come specifically to trick the Tang Clan.

Gao Lian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Now is not the time for regrets; we need to find a way to control the impact.

First and foremost, we must ensure that Lin Rufeng is apprehended and brought to justice.

Gao Lian opened his contacts, found Cheng Mo's number, and dialed it.

beep - beep - beep -

connected.

"Hey, Lao Gao." Cheng Mo's voice came through the receiver, quite relaxed, the kind that loves a good show. "I've been watching a real spectacle, too bad you weren't here."

Gao Lian paused for a second.

I'm so glad I didn't come.

He composed himself and spoke as calmly as possible: "Is Master Cheng at the scene in Yanbian?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Tang Miaoxing...is he confirmed dead?"

"Oh, his head's off, he's dead as dead as can be."

Gao Lian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again: "Master Cheng, I have a favor to ask."

"you say."

"The person who killed Tang Miaoxing is named Lin Rufeng, and Xia Liuqing from Quanxing was also present at the scene." Gao Lian said, emphasizing each word, "Please ask Master Cheng and your company's people to take down these two."

He paused, then emphasized, "Especially Lin Rufeng, Master Cheng, please do your utmost to capture him."

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Mo's expression was strange.

The array's glow was fading, but Lin Rufeng stood motionless, like a pillar.

"That Lin Rufeng... doesn't seem to have any intention of running away."

Gao Lian frowned slightly: "Wait for me."

He got up and went out to the monitoring room. In the live footage that came back, Lin Rufeng was indeed standing still.

Gao Lian pondered for a moment: "In short, I'll trouble you, Daoist Cheng, to keep a close eye on him. If there are any unusual movements, please take action."

"That's no problem."

……

Yanbian, on the edge of the battlefield.

Cheng Mo hung up the phone.

Xia He leaned closer and whispered, "Is Grandpa Xia going to make an arrest?"

Cheng Mo shook his head: "I'll just symbolically stop him when the time comes. What Lao Gao really wants is Lin Rufeng."

He glanced at the corpses of the Tang Clan disciples on the ground and clicked his tongue: "Tang Clan leader, this is going to be troublesome."

In the distance, employees of NaDuTong had already begun setting up the perimeter, and some of them walked over in this direction, their movements swift and efficient, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.

Xia Liuqing glanced at Lin Rufeng, then at the fading fireflies, and bowed to Lü Ci and Guan Shihua, saying, "Farewell, my lords."

He turned and ran.

Just as he was about to hit the edge of the fluorescent light, the light barrier completely disappeared.

Xia Liuqing took a step forward, suddenly accelerated, and shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

Cheng Mo gave Xia He a look, rushed forward, and threw a punch.

Xia Liuqing seemed unsurprised by his attack—this old bastard was probably waiting for this when he ran away.

He wiped his face with his hand, and the divine mask instantly attached itself to his face. With the steel whip in hand, he did not dodge at all, and lashed out at Cheng Mo's head with the whip.

As Cheng Mo charged forward, he suddenly bent back, the steel whip grazing his nose. He then punched Xia Liuqing's wrist holding the whip and kicked her side at the same time.

Xia Liuqing took his kick, let out a muffled groan, and spat out a mouthful of blood, but used the force to propel herself forward, instantly reaching a distance of ten meters.

Cheng Mo steadied himself and glanced at Xia Liuqing's departing figure.

I guess you could say I'm trying to stop them.

As for whether the people from Nadutong can catch Old Master Xia, that depends on their fate.

He turned around and stared at Lin Rufeng.

Lin Rufeng showed no reaction to Xia Liuqing's departure, standing there blankly, blood still dripping from the sword in his hand.

The people from Na Du Tong had already arrived, moving quickly yet cautiously, slowly surrounding them.

Lu Ci and Guan Shihua stood still.

Lu Ci kicked the unconscious Ishikawa Shin at his feet, his tone impatient: "Hey, someone take this guy back. Have Gao Lian invite my son to do some business."

Two men from Nadutong rushed forward, carried the unconscious Ishikawa Shin on their shoulders, and Okiji and Sekishika nodded and walked toward the convoy.

The other employees slowly approached Lin Rufeng, their steps light, wary of any wild beast that might suddenly attack.

Lin Rufeng stood still without making a move.

Just as the person from All-Knowing was about to touch Lin Rufeng—

The ground suddenly shook.

With a loud bang, a hand reached out from the ground, grabbed Lin Rufeng's ankle, and tried to pull him down.

Lu Ci roared, "Leave the knife behind!"

The Ruyi Force instantly flowed away, and the invisible Qi, like a rope, coiled towards the demonic blade in Lin Rufeng's hand.

But someone was faster than him.

The array patterns beneath Cheng Mo's feet had already silently unfolded, and almost at the same instant the ground trembled, he formed hand seals.

"The character 'Kun' represents the Earth River Chariot!"

The ground beneath Lin Rufeng exploded with a deafening roar, and a thick stone pillar shot into the sky, lifting him and the owner of the hand on the ground into the air.

The stone pillar quickly reached a height of four or five meters.

The person underground was pushed out by the stone pillar, covered in mud, and it was Liu Yunwei who had run away earlier.

"Ah!" Liu Yunwei exclaimed in surprise, his hand still tightly gripping Lin Rufeng's ankle, his body swaying in mid-air. "Old Lin is now—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Cheng Mo had already appeared above them.

No one saw how he jumped up there—one moment he was on the ground a few meters away, and the next he was in mid-air, as if he had been launched up by something.

He kicked Lin Rufeng in the shoulder, causing Lin Rufeng to sway to the side and tumble off the stone pillar. He then stepped on Liu Yunwei in the chest, causing Liu Yunwei to cry out, release his grip, and fall to the ground.

The sword in Lin Rufeng's hand flew out, twirled a few times in the air, and then stuck into the soil with the tip pointing downwards.

The two crashed to the ground almost simultaneously, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Cheng Mo landed and stood beside the two of them.

Lin Rufeng lay motionless on the ground. Liu Yunwei lay on his back, his eyes rolled back, and a bubble was coming out of his mouth.

Ruyi Jin arrived just then, wrapping around their bodies like a rope and binding them tightly.

Actually, it doesn't matter if they're not tied up—they're both already unconscious.

Lu Ci stood still, staring at Cheng Mo, his face contorted with worry over the scars on his face.

This kid's use of sorcery was a bit clumsy; the stone pillar rose a beat too slowly, and the force was also a little lacking.

However, his movements were incredibly fast, and he couldn't even see how the kid had leaped into the air.

Even though he was paying most of his attention to Lin Rufeng, he was still able to see the figure of a junior.

Moreover, the force control of the last two kicks was extremely precise, knocking both men unconscious without causing any serious injury.

Lu Ci asked, "Kid, which family are you from?"

Cheng Mo said calmly, "Cheng Mo, Liangyi Temple, Zhongnan Mountain."

Lü Ci narrowed his eyes: "Cheng Shou's apprentice?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "Exactly."

Lu Ci looked him up and down: "You have some ability; you haven't disgraced your master's name."

"Oh."

Lü Ci frowned.

Guan Shihua, standing to the side, chuckled and tried to smooth things over: "So you're Xiao Cheng? Youcai told me, the young man is quite good."

Cheng Mo immediately turned around, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly, his tone respectful: "Grandma Guan, I should have visited you long ago, but I have been tied up with trivial matters and have not been able to make the trip. I feel really bad about it. I will definitely pay you a visit in a few days."

Guan Shihua smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits: "Oh, this child, what's with all this talk of apologizing? I'm just happy you came."
