Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Rolling, swirling dark clouds, thick and murky, thunder rumbled across the sky, and torrential rain poured down.

[Approaching along the border of Jingzhou, they came in a cloud of clouds, obscuring the sky.]

[A battlefield where two armies confront and fight each other.]

[Xiang Che's tiger-like eyes exuded an overwhelming and domineering aura; his halberd stood erect, halting his once invincible military momentum.]

Wasn't Fairy Pei going to deal with that filthy thing?

Why are they now bringing dirty things into the Jingzhou battlefield?

Xiang Che halted his attack.

This allowed Chen Chao to catch his breath.

[A smirk, a nonchalant expression, yet a hidden cunning.]

He's been having a tough time lately.

The land of Jingzhou is a crucial strategic point that influences the situation in Nancang.

Even though he didn't want to provoke that timid, cowardly brute, he had no choice but to send troops to fight for it.

[A domineering physique unparalleled throughout history, combined with Xiang Che's invincible military force.]

[In direct combat on the battlefield.]

He could only avoid direct confrontation, prolong the battle lines, and employ a strategy of maneuvering and maneuvering with depth.

[Grind down their military strength inch by inch, deplete their morale, and wait for them to reveal a weakness.]

Chen Chao rubbed his face.

[Looking into the distance.]

Dark clouds surged and hung low, pressing down on the city.

The pervasive, unsettling aura instilled a instinctive fear and resistance, making one unwilling to be tainted.

"The Daoist disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Great Virtuous Teacher, the Celestial Patrol Envoy..."

Chen Chaomang murmured, revealing your layers of identity.

The fading light eventually cast shadows on his face.

[It forms the image of a majestic dragon and python.]

"The Executive Vice Sect Master of the Holy Sect!"

His voice was deep and resonant, like the roar of a dragon.

Having served as the prefect of Yangzhou for many years, he was well aware of Emperor Shengzong's political and cultural background.

Especially that sect leader.

[They are even more mysterious and unpredictable, acting recklessly in pursuit of research results.]

He knew he could raise an army and seize Yongzhou.

[Possessing the qualities to rise to prominence in a chaotic world.]

[It was all orchestrated by that Holy Sect Master.]

He was merely one link in the chain of the other party's experiment, used to gather clues.

Despite this, the extraordinary phenomenon of the dragon and python devouring the sky was still enough to make him a powerful warlord in a chaotic world.

[Dare to defy fate!]

Deep down, he felt awe, even fear, towards Yu Ji.

[It possesses a portion of the results of its research.]

[This allows for a deeper understanding of Yu Ji's ambition and the taboos he has crossed.]

You've arrived.

Of all his identities, this was the one Chen Chaomang cared about most.

[This is your identity as the Executive Vice Sect Leader.]

[Several years ago, she joined the Chaotic Dance of Spring and Autumn, and Yu Ji took her on as a disciple, making him her junior brother.]

What secrets and deals are involved?

He was unfathomable.

[But there's no need to overthink it; it inevitably involves Yu Ji's taboo research.]

[If the person facing him were Gong Si, after Yu Ji had disappeared without a trace.]

He was confident in the power, methods, and shrewdness he currently possessed.

Even if suppression isn't possible, the relationship between the two sides can be elevated to a cooperative one.

[Instead of becoming mere pawns in Yu Ji's research experiments, or appendages of the Holy Emperor.]

[But I can face you...]

Chen Chaomang's eyes were gloomy, the shadows of which seemed to etch the image of a dragon and python.

Finally, he flashed his familiar, uninhibited smile.

[Choose to follow your heart for now.]

You are truly a completely unknown mystery to him.

[Adding to this is the swirling, viscous dark clouds, and the unpredictable, erratic atmosphere.]

Given his shrewdness and personality.

It's impossible to test the waters or engage in strategic maneuvering at this time.

A true man is one who can bend and stretch.

[A true shrewd and astute leader is one who can assess the situation and act decisively.]

The weighing of options and careful consideration are all completed in a fleeting moment.

Then Chen Chao, clad in golden armor, ascended the city wall and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Welcome, Great Master, Celestial Envoy, and Executive Sect Leader!"

The resounding voice echoed far and wide.

The word "Deputy" in "Executive Deputy Sect Leader" seemed to have been unintentionally omitted by him.

[I'm still wondering why Pei Qingyu brought you here, Xiang Che.]

He glanced up.

I wonder what that old bastard is up to now.

[Slippery as an eel, constantly hiding and maneuvering.]

No one wanted to engage in a major, head-on confrontation with him.

[Like a woman.]

[Now they're actually adopting a welcoming attitude.]

Xiang Che spat out a disdainful remark.

Looking back at the surging dark clouds.

The flames of war in Jingzhou were briefly averted due to the dark clouds gathering in the sky.

The people looked up to him, chanting his honorific title.

[Gradually gathering momentum, it circled back to Jingzhou.]

[The Celestial Master's Mansion.]

The main gate of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

The old Taoist priest, a tall and imposing figure, strode out, his face deeply weathered, gazing at the distant sky.

[I sensed the familiar aura of that wicked disciple.]

[He returned to the ancestral hall with a blank expression.]

【Boom! 】

The ancestral tablets, which had originally been observing the murky thunderclouds in the sky, all began to throb.

He looked at the old Taoist priest with a hint of doubt.

The old Taoist priest remained calm and composed, showing no emotion, and paid no attention to his ancestors.

Walk straight to the long table where the ancestral tablets are enshrined.

[The black-robed figure waved lightly.]

[Buzz...]

The sound of swords clashing echoed, like the resounding roar of thunder.

The overwhelming power instantly crushed the entire ancestral hall, even freezing the ancestral tablets in place for a moment.

Intricate talismans are engraved in the void, their radiance permeating the air.

The talismans swirled and intertwined, forming mysterious and complex array patterns.

The old Taoist priest raised his hand and probed into the endless void.

[Then emerged a simple, ancient-looking magic sword.]

【Boom! 】

The ancestral tablets all moved in unison.

[Zhang Xunzhi, the ancestor, even jumped to the edge of the long table, leaned forward over the memorial tablet, and approached the old Taoist priest.]

[It seems like they're trying to persuade him to calm down.]

This sword is one of the most precious treasures of the Daoist realm.

The Celestial Master's Mansion's Sword of Exorcising Evil and Destroying Demons: The Three Pure Ones and Five Emperors' Mysterious Sword

[Its status is comparable to the jade tablets, rulers, and crowns of Confucian sages.]

[Its sheer destructive power can be discussed.]

It is the best in the world.

[Especially to exterminate demons, monsters, and evil spirits.]

Speaking of the sinister and corrupt...

Then we have to look at the dark clouds rolling down the sky over Jingzhou.

Clearly, our ancestors had already guessed the old Taoist's thoughts.

The old Taoist priest held the ancient, abyssal sword.

[His expression was solemn, and his demeanor dignified.]

"No one can stop me today."

The ancestral tablets remained still for a moment, then most returned to their original positions.

[Following the established principles of the Celestial Master's Mansion.]

Respect each disciple's personal choices and decisions, and do not interfere.

Only a few had the closest relationship with the old Taoist priest.

Still hesitant.

[And peering forward, one could see Zhang Xun's ancestor, who was about to drop his long table.]

[Then he continued to patiently and earnestly offer advice.]

The old Taoist priest ignored his incessant rambling.

He lifted his long robe, sat cross-legged, and held the Celestial Master's Sword horizontally in front of his knees.

[Roll up your sleeves and gently wipe.]

[Zhang Xunzhi, the patriarch, saw that the old Taoist priest completely ignored him.]

[His temper flared up immediately.]

A subtle light glimmered above the memorial tablet.

[Spot by spot, the name engraved on his memorial tablet is traced.]

The overwhelming pressure, transcending dimensions, ravages the human world from the heavens.

You simply snapped your fingers.

The world of heaven and earth changes in an instant.
