One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

"Ryoko!!!"

The hysterical roar, like muffled thunder, exploded in the sky above Biyou Village, shaking the leaves in the forest.

"Is that the voice of Village Chief Ma?"

He gazed towards the mountaintop, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He looked away, patted the dirt off his clothes, and stood up.

"Since you say you can solve Chen Duo's problem..." Hei Guan stared at Zhou Yan, his tone grave, "then we'll wait for you for three days! Brother Zhou, don't lie to me!"

"Oh? Wait three days?"

Zhou Yan leaned against the tree trunk, raised an eyebrow, and let out a sneer.

"I went to great lengths to heal her, only for you to take her back to the company and continue to face judgment from those high-ups?"

He didn't think Chen Duo could live a good life anywhere.

Putting aside the fact that Liao Zhong's death is a done deal... just considering the intricate machinations of the company's upper management, the best outcome for Chen Duo is to return to the bunker and wait to die!

not to mention……

Others may not know, but he does.

There are bad people in the company!

The clarinet player sighed and shook his head.

"I'll figure something out about Chen Duo's situation. After all, my boss has some special privileges..."

Don't worry, the day you cure Chen Duo, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!

After saying that, he turned around and beckoned to the crowd.

"It's getting late, Chu Lan, Lao Meng, let's go back to the woodshed to rest."

The temporary workers all stood up.

They knew perfectly well that Hei Guan was going back to devise a battle plan...

Although everyone reached a certain tacit understanding regarding Chen Duo's matter.

However, they still stand on the opposite side as to Ma Xianhong and that broken stove, as well as Zhou Yan and the others.

Let's chat a little longer, maybe even develop some kind of mutual appreciation...

The work that follows will be impossible to do!

"Wait a minute."

Just as everyone took two steps, Zhou Yan suddenly spoke.

"Is there anything else?"

The clarinet turned its head, a strange sense of unease rising in its heart.

"Chen Duo's departure or stay is just a pretext."

Zhou Yan, hands in his pockets, spoke in a casual tone, as if chatting about everyday matters, "Your real targets are the Body Cultivation Furnace and Ma Xianhong, aren't they?"

Swish-!

When confronted so directly, the temporary workers all turned pale!

Hei Guan, Wang Zhenqiu, Xiao Zizai and others tensed their muscles instantly, their Qi surging, ready to fight at any moment!

Is this a sign that they're about to reveal their true intentions?

As a result, Zhou Yan simply waved his hand casually.

Why are you so nervous?

"To make a long story short, there has probably been no better time to destroy the furnace than now."

In short, you can smash the stove all you want, but before that…

Zhou Yan tilted his head: "Lingyu, give the things to them."

The temporary workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Lingyu walked forward expressionlessly and took out a small, round metal ball with black and gold stripes from his pocket.

Tap twice with your fingertips.

They pulled out a large clump of thick rope and several gleaming steel needles directly from it!

Spatial magic artifacts!

Zhang Lingyu shoved the rope and steel needle directly into Zhang Chulan's hands without saying a word, then turned and sat down under the tree.

The temporary workers were completely baffled, unable to understand what was going on.

Zhou Yan grinned:

"Ah Lian, you all go to so much trouble, please tie us 'outside help' up..."

Stop looking, these aren't real acupuncture needles, just for show... um, they'll just be stuck into your clothes.

"what?"

Zhang Chulan's jaw nearly dropped to the floor; he held the rope in his hands as if it were a hot potato.

"Uncle-Master, what you've done..."

Zhou Yan's eyes widened: "What are you standing there for? Tie me up, just do it!"

Zhang Chulan shuddered and, without daring to utter a word, quickly did as instructed!

He held the rope and approached Lu Linglong, who was closest to him.

Zhou Yan then suddenly added:

"Don't tie it too tight, or I'll beat you up!"

Zhang Chulan was completely numb.

What exactly do you want...?

"Uncle-Master, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Why don't you do it yourself..."

Zhou Yan scratched his nose, thinking that it made sense:

"Alright, Chen Duo, go tie up the pink-haired sister."

"oh."

Chen Duo nodded obediently, took the rope, and did as she was told.

Before long, the foreign aid team, led by Zhou Yan, was all tied up like dumplings.

Zhou Yan sensed it for a moment.

It's just the right tightness, so you can break free without much effort.

Even the buttons were fastened neatly and attractively...

I have to say, he's definitely a product of the company's training; his rope skills are top-notch!

Then, he lazily leaned against the big tree behind him.

"Alright, just make up any reason."

For example, they might drug us in our food... and then let us do whatever we want!

Don't worry, we absolutely won't interfere.

Hei Guan's brain had crashed; he felt completely unable to keep up with the thought process of this top disciple from Longhu Mountain.

"What are you up to?"

Zhou Yan helplessly turned his head towards the mountaintop:

"My good nephew is young and impetuous, and he can't see the situation clearly. He always has to suffer some losses before he can learn his lesson."

Because of my position, I can't personally confront him and wake him up, so I'll just borrow your knife for now.

"Oh, right."

Zhou Yan seemed to suddenly realize something, and his tone turned cold.

"I almost forgot to remind you, you can smash the stove, but not people!"

"There isn't a single person in Biyou Village who deserves to die. If I find out you've been so ruthless towards the villagers..."

Zhou Yan stared intently into the clarinet's eyes and said seriously:

"I will make temporary workers disappear from the company's payroll completely!"

As soon as he said that, the air seemed to drop to freezing point.

Hei Guan frowned and sighed.

He could naturally just appease the other party first; getting things done was the priority.

However... given the precedent of Chen Duo's incident.

His opinion of Zhou Yan has changed significantly.

After thinking about it, I think it's better to be upfront about it:

"I can tell you're a reasonable person; you wouldn't be unaware of such a simple principle."

We must take Ma Xianhong with us, otherwise, as long as he remains active outside, a second "body-cultivation furnace" could appear at any time!

Old Meng looked around and sighed helplessly.

If possible, he really didn't want to go to war with these little kids...

"It seems you still haven't grasped the situation."

Zhou Yan shook his head.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden gust of wind arose!

Boom—!

Thick, dark clouds suddenly blocked out the moonlight, plunging the entire forest into boundless darkness!

The temporary workers could faintly hear the sound of wind and thunder.

Sizzle—!

The clarinet player abruptly lowered his head, only to discover in horror...

All the temporary workers, including himself, were standing on a patch of pitch-black mud that had somehow turned into a swamp.

The thick, black mud, so thick it couldn't be dissolved, was churning and surging like a living thing.

They were trapped tightly in a small circle!

"This is... Yin Five Thunder!"

A bead of cold sweat slowly slid down the black tube's temple.

Crack!

It's like water droplets being poured into boiling hot oil!

The black mud at their feet suddenly seemed to boil, flashing with dense purple arcs of electricity.

In less than a breath, that drop of sweat was completely evaporated!

Gudong.

He swallowed hard.

Having traveled all over the country for so many years, he has seen countless top-notch extraordinary people... and he has also witnessed the methods of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

But I have never seen such a rich, powerful, and extremely destructive thunder magic before!

In complete darkness.

Only the pupils of the young man under the tree shone brightly, flowing with a breathtaking azure luster!

This move left Hei Guan and the others dumbfounded.

Even Lu Lin, who was tied up to the side, completely lost control of her expression!

Only now did he realize just how unfathomable his sister's "friend" strength truly was!

This... is just lightning magic!

Don't forget...

He also possesses the Heavenly Scroll!

next second.

The deep blue in Zhou Yan's eyes faded, the moonlight shone down again, and the dark clouds dispersed.

The suffocating, dark, and muddy swamp beneath their feet receded completely, as if it had never existed.

Zhou Yan leaned against the tree, his voice cold.

"Get this straight: the reason you had the opportunity to smash the furnace was because I wanted you to."

"No one in Biyou Village is allowed to move."

"Don't force me to repeat myself."

After saying that, Zhou Yan closed his eyes and gave the order to leave.

"Alright, Brother Guan, business is more important! Let's go, let's go..."

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing the dark lightning beneath his feet disappear, Zhang Chulan didn't want to stay a second longer. He quickly grabbed Hei Guan's arm and turned to leave.

Zhou Yan's voice suddenly rang out again, startling him!

"Take a picture before you leave, so my dear nephew and Ah Lian's can see it, lest he think I abandoned him..."

Click—!

Flashes of light pierced the night sky.

After taking the photos, the group of temporary workers quickly disappeared into the woods, not daring to look back!

"That's...that's terrifying..."

It wasn't until he was quite far from that big tree that Old Meng belatedly realized his legs had gone weak and he almost fell over.

"You know, I'm a beastly master..."

Old Meng's face was deathly pale, and his voice was trembling:

"In those few short seconds, countless insects and microorganisms were swallowed up by that viscous sea of ​​lightning..."

"I can indirectly sense the power contained within... That young man, he's not bluffing!"

Old Meng swallowed hard. "If he wanted to, he really could have wiped us all out in that instant!"

Zhang Chulan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Do you need to tell me? I've personally witnessed Uncle Zhou's abilities!"

Was the Corpse Demon of the Complete Realm any tough? He was still chopped into charcoal with a single slap!

He turned his head and looked at the clarinet.

This time, Black Pipe didn't fiddle with the magical artifact on his forearm, nor did he utter a word of rebuttal.

He just stared intently at the direction of the mountaintop of Biyou Village, his expression constantly changing.

"Let's go."

After a long pause, Hei Guan noticed Zhang Chulan's gaze and uttered two words in a deep voice:

"Get to work."

"What about Village Chief Ma?" Zhang Chulan asked tentatively.

The man with the black tube glared at him impatiently: "What, Village Chief Ma? Has the company specifically ordered us to kill him, or bring him back?"

"All we know is that there's a furnace that can transform superhumans. Nothing else!"

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened, and he immediately gave a thumbs up.

"It has to be Brother Guan, he's so insightful!"
