From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Done.

Jiang Liu looked at the three figures in the distance and went to greet them.

"President Jiang, could I trouble you with something?"

The visitors were Zhao Yuanzhi and Liu Chuang, who had come with Lu Jin.

"Please feel free to speak."

Seeing that Zhao Yuanzhi was about to kneel down, Jiang Liu stopped him, saying, "There's no need for such formalities, it's meaningless."

"Ugh--"

Zhao Yuanzhi sighed and got down to business, "Mr. Ren is currently trapped in Shanghai, his fate unknown. I would like to ask you to go there to check. If he is still alive, I hope you can bring him back. He is the director of political ideology and also has military talent; he absolutely cannot be allowed to die!"

"So, is his life more important than the life of an ordinary citizen in Yuhang City?" Jiang Liu asked Zhao Yuanzhi.

"I······"

Zhao Yuanzhi didn't know how to answer, but finally nodded.

"Tsk, how naive."

Jiang Liu grinned, "It's because there are too many people who think like you that they are betrayed."

You, including that Mr. Ren, don't even know which group you should trust, and you're still worried that the superhumans with power are an uncertain factor.

The guns in your hands, compared to ordinary people, are also a force that makes them afraid.

The people of Yuhang are actually more afraid of you!

Faced with these facts, Zhao Yuanzhi found it difficult to refute them, and could only plead, "Please, Chairman Jiang, I can give you everything I have..."

"In your eyes, are we just guys who do things for money?"

Jiang Liu's eyes turned slightly cold. "In the past six months, you have visited Cultural Street many times, visited Mingxin Academy, and listened to my sermons. But it still doesn't change the fact that you don't consider us your own people. This is disheartening, Chairman Zhao."

Zhao Yuanzhi wanted to kneel down, but his body was blocked by an invisible force, and he could not kneel down no matter what he did.

resignedly.

He could only keep pleading, hoping Jiang Liu would help him with this!

“Going to Shanghai to confirm Mr. Ren’s life or death is fine, but people with supernatural abilities are also human. As human beings, they are also qualified to participate among you. As for their future status, they will earn it through their own abilities. The capable will rise and the mediocre will fall.”

Jiang Liu made his stance clear: he would do everything in his power to secure a legitimate right for the extraordinary individuals to enter the system. "If you don't trust me, then naturally I don't trust you either."

Indeed.

This behavior is somewhat like kicking someone when they're down, but people's hearts are unpredictable.

Therefore, his attitude must be tough.

"no problem!"

Zhao Yuanzhi had no choice but to agree and dared not play any tricks. If it weren't for the help of the extraordinary person, he would be dead by now.

"If that's the case, then I hope we can be more sincere with each other in the future."

Seeing this, Jiang Liu said no more. He temporarily placed Zhao Yuanzhi in the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe's courtyard and asked Boss Cha, Zhao Xinchuan, Peng Qizi, He Anxia and others to handle the identification and cremation of the body. He also asked Zhuge Yu to take charge of the overall situation for the time being. He then went to Shanghai with Lu Jin, Miss Hong and Miss Liu to look for Mr. Ren's whereabouts.

Whether alive or dead, one can see the person.

"I also need to go!"

Just as they were about to set off, Liu Chuang ran to the courtyard of the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe.

"You'll only be a burden." Lu Jin didn't mince words and spoke bluntly.

“With you by our side, our progress will be slower. Do you want Mr. Ren to live, or do you want him to die?” the girl in red asked.

"I···"

Liu Chuang was speechless. He clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, and stared intently at Jiang Liu, hoping that he would take him with him to rescue Mr. Ren.

"Now is not the time to act rashly. If you really want to help, stay with Zhao Yuanzhi."

Jiang Liu walked past him and said, "Although the unrest in the city has been quelled, it is hard to guarantee that there are still dangerous elements hiding in the shadows who want to assassinate Zhao Yuanzhi."

The latter watched Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, and Liu Guniang leave, gritting her teeth, but could only stay by Zhao Yuanzhi's side.

[Zhao Qian.]

After leaving the city, Jiang Liu, relying on his remaining spark of sincerity, contacted Zhao Qian, saying, "Keep an eye on Liu Chuang; that guy has a lot of ulterior motives."

Zhao Yuanzhi and Liu Chuang had a good relationship. It is said that before Zhao Yuanzhi became the chairman of the trade union, the two were practically inseparable.

However, after Zhao Yuanzhi became the president, the relationship between the two became increasingly delicate.

The former has taken on the airs of a chairman.

The latter felt a sense of inferiority and unease, as well as a desire to keep climbing the ladder.

Liu Chuang's idea of ​​going to Shanghai with Jiang Liu and the others was probably to take this opportunity to impress Mr. Ren and gain a better position later.

[Understood, Young Master.]

Zhao Qian responded, his gaze falling on Liu Chuang, whose face was full of disappointment but whose eyes were flashing with an inexplicable light. He thought to himself, "He seems to have quite a few little schemes. However, the turmoil in the city has been quelled. A mere patrol captain can't cause any major trouble."

On the other side, the river flowing out of the city allowed Lu Jin, Miss Hong, and Miss Liu to completely relax. Using the Eight-Nine Mysteries, they transformed their Qi into Qi, which enveloped the three of them. Following the natural flow of Qi and the magnetic field of the world, they arrived in the Demon Capital in no time.

The reason for choosing Lu Jin, Miss Hong, and Miss Liu together is that Lu Jin and Miss Hong also cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. Since their cultivation methods are of the same origin, it is quite easy for them to take flight together without causing any fluctuations in their internal energy. As for Miss Liu's innate ability, "Flash Time Skill," which is similar to a superposition of gathering and dispersing energy, she has been learning to control the timing of the four seasons and six energies with Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Miss Hong, and others in order to correspond with the twenty-four solar terms, so she will not be greatly affected.

"Brother Jiang, you really are like a god riding the clouds now." The moment he landed, Lu Jin could see the city in front of him clearly and couldn't help but sigh.

A thousand miles can be covered in an instant; it couldn't be more true!

# Chapter 458 Formulating a Rescue Plan

"This method of ascension is essentially about using human magnetism and Qi transformation to sense the flow of Qi and magnetic fields between heaven and earth. Go with the flow, and as long as you control the direction well, it's not difficult to learn." Jiang Liu explained his "ascension" principle, which made Lu Jin and Hong Guniang roll their eyes.

Not difficult?

Before one has established all five internal organs as the central palace, and properly integrated these five organs and five energies to stabilize life, even if one understands the method of ascending to heaven, one will not be able to learn it.

Furthermore, sensing the power of heaven and earth through one's own body is also one of the foundations.

"Then you can just not be the president of the Confucian Association, and instead help others deliver documents and mail. You'll have food to eat anywhere," Miss Liu exclaimed in a daze.

Jiang Liu: "..."

[Were you a fellow disciple of Sun Wukong when he was learning his skills from a master?]

Despite his inner grumbling, Jiang Liu still agreed with Miss Liu, saying with a smile, "That's right!"

If I used this skill to open a security escort agency, the business would definitely be a huge success!

The only problem is that currently I'm the only one who knows this method, so I have to handle all the business myself, and I also need to understand the changes in the magnetic field and energy patterns of every part of the entire map of China.

This was naturally a joke used to lighten the mood before the operation began.

thereafter.

Using his mental scanning skills, Jiang Liu covered the entire area of ​​Shanghai. After determining Mr. Ren's location, he pulled the consciousness of the three people into his own inner world, revealing a three-dimensional map.

It must be said that the combination of mental scanning skills and inner vision is a perfect match.

He said seriously, "Shanghai now has multiple concessions. The southwest is the French Concession, and there are four sections of the International Settlement, divided into east, west, north, and central. The east and west sections are jointly managed by multiple countries, the north section is the American Concession, and the central section is the British Concession."

"Mr. Ren is still alive, but he is trapped in the city of Shanghai, so we must rescue him."

"The forces that were hunting him and his other members included not only Mr. J, but also the foreign forces in the local concessions. Unlike Mr. Bonaide, they were thinking about how to plunder China's resources faster, better, more conveniently, and for longer."

The unification of China would inevitably hinder this.

Therefore, they will inevitably take action, even dispatching magicians and alchemists to participate in the pursuit of Mr. Ren and his companions.

At this point, Jiang Liu paused, looked at the three of them, and asked, "What are your plans? You can tell me about them."

Miss Liu was the first to raise her hand and speak: "I have a plan, in three steps. First, we will infiltrate the county town to attract their attention; second, you will take Mr. Ren and the others back to Yuhang; third, we will blend into the crowd and quietly leave Shanghai."

Lu Jin and Hong Guniang nodded in agreement.

With their abilities, escaping Shanghai without fighting the army wouldn't be a problem.

"Sending Mount Tai is as light as a mustard seed, but carrying ordinary people is difficult to escape the mortal world."

Jiang Liu shook his head. "If I were to take Mr. Ren with me, we would have to move along, pulling and tugging at each other, at a speed only slightly faster than a normal person running. That wouldn't be appropriate."

"Oh, then I misspoke before. Your abilities aren't suited for delivering messages or running errands," Miss Liu suddenly exclaimed.

"It's just that it's not suitable to take living beings that haven't obtained Qi with them when they take flight."

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes.

Returning to the immediate problem, Lu Jin pondered for a moment, then pointed to the area around the county center and said, "Why don't we stage a big incident and kill Zhiqing?"

To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!

Since everything started because of J Zhiqing, it should also end because of J Zhiqing!

"Yes, but it's unnecessary."

Jiang Liu rejected the proposal, saying, "It's true that he's doing this for his own benefit, but at this stage, the Gong faction and the Confucian Society need to develop stealthily, so they need to rely on his strength to complete the Northern Expedition first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin also abandoned his assassination attempt.

"Sister Hong, what do you think?"

Seeing that the girl in red looked thoughtful, Jiang Liu asked her.

The young woman pointed to the Huangpu River and said, "Foreigners value profit the most, so even in these extraordinary times, their trading ships will not stop operating."

Therefore, after entering the city, given that you, Brother Jiang, cannot quickly take Mr. Ren and the others away, the best way is to travel by water.

Find a ship heading south and determine its departure time.

Sister Liu, you've made great progress in your cultivation recently, and with the guidance of our young master, your strength has increased significantly. Your ability can even achieve a simple invisibility effect. Come with Lu Jin to find Mr. Ren.

"And you, Brother Jiang, will be responsible for keeping the rest of the people chasing Mr. Ren occupied."

"But how do we get on the ship?"
