This celestial master cultivates both physical and magical arts; why did you provoke him?

Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.

Xia En withdrew his fist and looked down at his hand.

There was a little purple powder on his fist, which he wiped off with his thumb and put his hand in his pocket.

He turned around and walked back.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

At the alley entrance, Fang Zijian stood there, holding his phone, his whole body trembling.

His face was as white as paper, and his lips were trembling, but he held the phone very steadily.

"Did you get a picture?" Shane asked.

Fang Zijian nodded mechanically.

"Don't send it out."

Fang Zijian nodded mechanically again.

Xia En walked past him and returned to Qingheju.

Fang Zijian stood still, looking down at the video on his phone screen.

Golden lightning, golden fists.

The scene of that four-meter-tall monster being smashed to pieces with a single punch.

His hands began to tremble, not from fear, but from excitement.

"This is fucking..."

He muttered to himself, "What kind of god-like move is that?"

The next day, Fang Zijian showed the video to Liu Ruyan.

After reading it, Liu Ruyan remained silent for a full minute.

"Wow, he... has he always been this strong?"

Her voice sounded a little unsteady.

"Shane seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

Fang Zijian said, "When we fought the Zombie King before, I used a few moves. This time, I only used two moves: a palm strike and a powerful punch. Two moves, and that so-called guardian was gone."

Liu Ruyan fell silent again.

Shen Ye walked over from the side, his silvery-white eyes fixed on the phone screen.

"This is Mingyuan, one of the four guardians under Xuanming."

"Do you know him?" Fang Zijian asked.

"I've heard of it."

Shen Ye's expression was solemn. "Mingyuan has cultivated for eight hundred years and is known for its strength. Within the Evil Spirit Cult, its combat power ranks in the top ten."

"Xuanming sending it to test Xia En means that Xuanming has already noticed Xia En."

Fang Zijian's heart sank. "Has the big boss noticed me? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Neither good nor bad."

Shen Ye said, "The good thing is that Xia En's strength has been recognized. The bad thing is that even stronger opponents will come looking for him next."

Fang Zijian swallowed hard. "Even stronger? Isn't this strong enough? He was killed in two moves."

Shen Ye glanced at him. "Among the four guardians, Mingyuan is the weakest."

Fang Zijian's face turned pale.

When the news reached Longhu Mountain, Zhang Jingxuan was drinking tea in the back hall.

Zhang Jingqing, the senior disciple from Longhu Mountain, rushed in with his phone and showed him the video.

After reading it, the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingxuan remained silent for a long time.

Then he put down his teacup and smiled.

"This kid," he said, "is becoming more and more like me."

Zhang Jingqing's lips twitched. "Master, you didn't have the feat of smashing the Evil Spirit Cult's protector with a single punch back then, did you?"

Zhang Jingxuan glared at him. "Are you questioning my abilities?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Zhang Jingqing quickly waved her hand, "I just feel that my junior brother... seems to have gone beyond the scope of the Celestial Master's Mansion."

"What scope?"

"That is to say... in the history of the Celestial Master's Mansion, there has never been a Celestial Master of this caliber."

"He's proficient in lightning magic, talismans, physical techniques, and the invincible golden light technique. And he's mastered each one to its fullest potential. This isn't just a matter of talent; this is..."

"What is this?"

"That's cheating."

Zhang Jingxuan looked at Zhang Jingqing, remained silent for two seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"You're right, he's cheating. But cheating is a skill in itself. Others might want to, but they can't."

Zhang Jingqing was speechless.

That evening, Xia En received a WeChat message. It was from Zhang Jingxuan and contained only one sentence:

"I heard you killed the protector of the Evil Spirit Cult in two moves?"

Xia En replied with a single word: "Mm".

Zhang Jingxuan:

"Not bad. But next time, don't use two moves, one is enough. Save your mana and energy."

Xia En stared at the message and smiled. He replied, "Okay."

Zhang Jingxuan:

"By the way, the pillars in the main hall have been replaced. It was with the money you transferred last time. Thank you."

Xia En: "You're welcome. It's nothing."

Zhang Jingxuan:

"When are you going to come back and take a look? The pillar has been replaced, and you haven't seen it yet."

Xia En thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go back as soon as I'm done with this."

Zhang Jingxuan: "Okay. Take care of yourself."

Xia En placed her phone next to her pillow and closed her eyes.

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silvery-white glow on the floor.

He recalled what Mingyuan had said: "Lord Xuanming has sent me to test your abilities."

Xuanming. The leader of the Evil Spirit Cult.

That name, hidden in the shadows, never revealed, that strikes fear into the hearts of countless people.

He turned over and buried his face in the pillow.

"Go to sleep," he said sullenly. "I have things to do tomorrow."

The next morning, Xia En was awakened by a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and there stood a man outside, Chen Guodong.

His complexion was terrible, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Master Xia, something has happened."

"What is it?"

"The underground palace in the eastern suburbs, the one near the Chu King's tomb, has shown signs of anomalies again. Our detection equipment indicates that there is a huge energy source moving underground at a very fast speed, heading towards—the city center."

Xia En narrowed his eyes and asked, "How large is the energy source?"

Chen Guodong swallowed hard. "Ten times bigger than that zombie king from last time."

The courtyard was quiet.

Fang Zijian poked his head out of the house, his face pale.

Liu Ruyan closed the book in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly.

Shen Ye emerged from the corner, carrying a porcelain jar, a cold glint flashing in his silvery-white eyes.

Xia En remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he smiled, not a bitter smile, not a helpless smile.

It was a calm smile, tinged with a hint of anticipation.

"Ten times bigger?" he said. "Tsk, interesting."

He put on his coat, put the black jade talisman in his pocket, tucked the short sword Zhanxie into his waistband, and stuffed the stack of talisman papers into his bosom.

"Walk."

"Let's go take a look."

He strode out of the courtyard.

Behind him, everyone followed.

The sunlight shone on him, casting a long shadow on the ground.

The entrance to the underground palace is located in the eastern suburbs.

The detection equipment indicated that the energy source was located fifty meters underground and was slowly rising.

It is expected to reach the ground in thirty minutes.

Chen Guodong has evacuated all residents within a two-kilometer radius and set up layers of cordon lines.

Armed special police officers guarded each intersection.

But they all knew that

If the thing below really comes up, these bullets won't even be enough to tickle it.

Xia En stood at the entrance of the underground palace, looking down at the dark, gaping opening.

Yin energy surged out from within, so intense it almost solidified.

"Such a strong evil aura."

He drew his dagger and planted it in the ground.

Then he took out the stack of talismans and pasted them one by one around the entrance of the cave.

Thirty-six talisman papers were arranged in a circle, and each one was glowing.

Gold, red, blue, purple.

The lights of various colors intertwined, resembling a giant rainbow ring!

"Talisman Array - Heavenly Gang Subduing Demons." Xia En formed hand seals.

The thirty-six talismans lit up simultaneously, their lights connecting together.

It formed a huge light shield, sealing off the entire entrance to the cave.

"Alright." Shane dusted off his hands. "It can't get up here."

Chen Guodong was taken aback and asked, "It's that simple?"

"Simple?"

Xia En glanced at him. "Each of these thirty-six talismans takes an hour to draw. It took me three days just to prepare them."

Chen Guodong fell silent.

"and,"

Xia En added, "This is only temporary. The Heavenly Gang Demon Subduing Formation can only last for three days at most. Within three days, we must find a way to completely resolve this."

"What method?"

Xia En did not answer. He stared at the hole sealed by the light barrier, remaining silent for a long time.

Then he turned around and walked towards the city center.

I'm going to find someone.

"Who?"

"Someone who can tell me what's down there."

He took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Chen Guodong.

"Captain Chen."

"Um?"

"If I don't come back, tell my master not to look for me."
