On the way up the mountain, there is a pavilion for viewing clouds.

The night breeze rustled through the treetops.

Zhou Yan sat on the stone bench, his legs crossed.

He took out his phone from his security guard uniform pocket and found the video he had just recorded at the foot of the mountain.

Press play button —

"ah!!!"

"Lü Liang...you've aided and abetted the wicked...you've conspired with a tiger for its skin! You mustn't...!"

on the screen.

Lu Liang was covered in blood, clutching a bloodstained dagger, and panting heavily.

*Pfft—*

He thrust out a knife, plunging it deep into Gao Ning's neck.

The monk's gaze gradually became unfocused.

Then, with a strong pull, the incision became smooth, and blood gushed out high.

He turned around and walked towards Shen Chong, who was slumped to the side.

With a swift motion, he slit Shen Chong's throat at the same angle.

A row of Quanxing was neatly stacked on the ground.

Lü Liang hacked from one end to the other, each strike fatal!

He didn't even blink at the sporadic curses!

Clang—

The dagger fell onto the cement pavement.

Lü Liang's knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground.

He tilted his head back, looked at the camera, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Make a peace sign, it'll look better that way."

Lü Liang's eyes twitched, and he raised two blood-stained fingers—

"Yes... Mr. Zhou..." his voice trembled, "Is it okay now?"

Lü Liang felt a churning in his stomach.

Although he joined the Quanxing sect, he did plenty of bad things.

But... this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands!

"You're so thoughtful... With this video in hand, you no longer need to worry about me betraying you... Haha..."

He gave a wry smile. "Otherwise, the Quanxing Sect would be the first to not let me off the hook..."

No.

To be precise, if those beasts saw this...

He won't die.

It would be a hundred times worse than death!

From behind the camera, Zhou Yan's voice came through:

"Very good. You can go now."

In the scene, Lü Liang was about to get up when he suddenly froze.

He glanced at the corpses around him, and the color drained instantly from his face.

"No...no, Mr. Zhou, what about me?"

Lü Liang pointed to his own nose, his voice trembling:

"So many people went up the mountain together, some went to the palace, some died..."

"So, I'm the only one who's gone back, all lively and energetic?"

He swallowed hard, then grabbed Zhou Yan's arm.

"I...I can't die, Master Zhou! I have to live, only by living can I do things for you!"

The camera shook slightly.

"I told you to leave, but you wouldn't." Zhou Yan's voice was impatient. "Fine then, you'll come back to Longhu Mountain with me."

thump.

Lü Liang collapsed onto a pool of blood.

"Master Zhou, please stop joking!" Lü Liang was almost in tears. "Going back to Longhu Mountain, isn't that just courting death...?"

In the shot, Zhou Yan's leather boots appear at the edge of the frame.

"This won't work, that won't work either." Zhou Yan chuckled. "Kid, you're pretty stubborn."

Lu Liang's face was deathly pale, and he was clutching his hair.

Zhou Yan... what is he after?!

He deliberately killed his fellow disciple himself and recorded it.

Is it just a way to amuse oneself?

That doesn't make sense!

"You don't want to go up the mountain, right? That's fine too."

Zhou Yan spoke slowly and deliberately, "There's another way."

Lü Liang's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared intently at the leather boots: "Wh...what method...?"

The leather boots approached step by step.

Zhou Yan's upper body is partially visible in the frame, with an innocent smile on his face.

Lü Liang was confused, but felt a chill run down his spine...

Instinctively, I used both my hands and feet to back away!

"Master Zhou, I was wrong!" Lü Liang screamed.

"I...I'll go back to Longhu Mountain with you! Going back to Longhu Mountain would be great!"

"Master Zhou...don't come any closer, Master Zhou!"

Zhou Yan stopped in his tracks.

"I told you to go up the mountain, but you didn't." He bent down to pick up the dagger from the ground. "Too late."

Lü Liang tried desperately to shrink back.

A surge of golden light suddenly illuminated the surroundings!

Lu Liang couldn't move an inch.

A flash of light.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Lü Liang's left hand was severed at the elbow.

Before he could faint from the pain, the blade turned again. His right leg was severed cleanly at the knee!

Blood gushed out.

Lu Liang was in so much pain that his face contorted, and he rolled around screaming in agony!

"Zhou Yan! You..."

"Shh-"

Zhou Yan's voice rang out from off-screen, calm and indifferent.

"Whether you want revenge, or whatever..."

"A senior colleague whom I greatly respect once said..."

"No matter how painful or bitter it is, you have to live on!"

"When you feel you can't hold on any longer, remember this..."

"That's the time for cultivation!"

The progress bar has reached the bottom.

The video ended, and the image froze on Lü Liang's despairing eyes.

Zhou Yan pressed the lock screen button.

All done!

The bond has been established...

Next, it's time to witness the reappearance of the double-handed technique!

In truth, compared to being turned into a human pig by his great-grandfather, I was already being very merciful!

Putting his phone away, Zhou Yan rested his chin on his hand and began to ponder his situation.

This trip to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has made him quite famous in the world of supernatural beings...

Recalling the squad he'd tied to the tree with the blunt force...

Wang Bing was slapped into the ring.

And there's that tall pile of garbage down the mountain.

Regardless of good or bad...

Just tell me you're not famous!

It's definitely not safe to stay in the Longhushan Scenic Area anymore.

People come to cause trouble every few days. Which scenic spot would hire a security guard like myself?

In addition, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has just ended.

I'm stuck on this mountain, unable to stop anyone, and it's unlikely I can go any further...

Lost in thought, I suddenly heard celestial music:

[Ding~ Host's desire to switch jobs is becoming increasingly strong!]

[Will it consume ten years of general administrative resources to change the location for guard duty check-in?]

Zhou Yan blinked.

Is this even possible?

You should have said so earlier!

I checked the remaining 30 years of general-purpose power on the panel...

And the Golden Light Mantra of 150 years, the Thunder Magic of 200 years, the Six Treasures Immortal Thief of 50 years, and the Tai Chi Long Fist of 40 years...

Once you've chosen your check-in point...

Ten years of hard work is nothing!

Of course, someone as meticulous as Zhou Yan couldn't be too hasty.

[Master, will our general cultivation level be able to change every ten years from now on?]

[Ding~ The host's burning desire to switch jobs has been detected... Each change requires a three-day cooldown period~]

Reliable!

Zhou Yan felt much more at ease!

The three-day cooldown period is almost negligible.

It takes seven days to accumulate a single "weekly reward"!

Since the location for taking photos can be changed...

That leaves a lot of room for maneuver!

What Tang Clan, Biyou Village, or even Lü Family Village!

Wherever there's trouble, that's where we'll stand guard...

It doesn't matter who you are.

Stop them one by one.

Two of them, one for each pair!

Zhou Yan could almost picture himself standing before the old Celestial Master, extending a finger and gently tapping his chest:

"I heard your name is 'One Top'?"

The more I thought about it, the more uncontrollably the corners of my mouth turned up...

"Master Zhou..."

"Ahem... Brother Zhou!!!"

Rong Shan’s rough voice rang out from outside the pavilion, startling Zhou Yan!

He turned his head.

Rong Shan stood a few steps away, looking at him with a strange expression.

"Brother Zhou, are you alright? Did you fall victim to some sorcerer's tricks when you came down the mountain?"

Zhou Yan scratched his nose awkwardly:

"It's nothing... I'm happy that Lu Fei's grandmother is getting married tomorrow."

"What's wrong, Master Rongshan?"

Zhou Yan stood up and patted the corner of his clothes.

Rong Shan smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright! Let's go, Master and Elder Lu... are waiting for you in the main hall!"

Zhou Yan nodded.

Indeed, it's always time to say goodbye!

"Okay, let's go!"
