From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Of the others, only Hong Guniang and Duanmu Ying were able to stand behind Jiang Liu, ignoring the blue lightning power that darted around like lightning snakes.

Looking at Jiang Liu again, despite being engulfed in lightning magic, he remained completely still, as steady as Mount Tai. It was as if this electric current wasn't even enough to tickle him. Moreover, he still maintained his smile, and his right hand was still slowly pressing down on Shi Jian's right hand, causing it to fall towards the back of his hand.

It's as if this is an inescapable "destiny"!

"Fuck!"

At this moment, the lightning magic in Shi Jian's palm had reached the thickness of an index finger, wrapping around the two people's hands and even completely covering their fists.

Even so, it still couldn't harm Jiang Liu in the slightest, nor could it even stop the speed at which his right hand was pressed down!

It maintained a constant speed!

and--

Boom!

Just as he was about to cast the spell, the back of his hand touched the table.

"Jiang Liusheng!"

Lin Jiu immediately shouted.

In an instant.

The thunder magic vanished without a trace.

Shi Jian clenched his slightly numb right palm, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "President Jiang's abilities are extraordinary; even thunder magic cannot harm him in the slightest. Shi Jian is in awe!"

"Master Shi is too kind. It is but a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Liu was modest and returned the greeting with a bow, as if he and Shi Jian shared a mutual appreciation.

While everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Liu and Shi Jian, Shi Shaojian quietly walked behind Bao Jinmei, reached out, and plucked a strand of her hair...

···

"This senior uncle has gone too far."

On the other side, Jia Le, who had already run back to her room, took out paper and pen, and was preparing to copy down the rules and regulations, was indignant. She also thought of Shi Shaojian, who was following behind Shi Jian. "And that Shi Shaojian, he looks like a spoiled young master. He even mocked us. He is really despicable!"

"Stop complaining! If our senior master hears us, we'll have to copy it more than two hundred times!" Qiu Sheng sighed helplessly, glancing out the window, only to witness Shi Shaojian pulling out Bao Jinmei's hair...

"Look!"

Qiu Sheng reached out with both hands and pulled Wen Cai and Jia Le to his side, and together they looked out the window. "The eldest uncle's son plucked a hair from that foreign girl's head."

Why?

Jiale was puzzled.

"fool!"

Without hesitation, Wen Cai said, "Our orthodox Maoshan sect doesn't have this type of magic. It's obviously a heretical and unorthodox Maoshan sect!"

Because Uncle Nine took Ren Tingting as his disciple, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai usually practiced their cultivation more diligently and would occasionally take the initiative to ask Uncle Nine for guidance, so they had more knowledge than Jia Le.

"Oh? Then let's go tell them!"

Jiale was about to climb out the window when Qiusheng grabbed his shoulder and said speechlessly, "What are you doing? Do you think your senior uncle will believe you? If you go out rashly, you might get a scolding from your senior uncle and master."

"What should we do then?"

Jiale was puzzled.

"Yes, Qiusheng, what should we do then?" Although Wencai was more knowledgeable than Jiale, he was still a bit dull-witted, and he asked blankly, just like Jiale.

As the saying goes, "The guilty party must be caught red-handed!"

Qiu Sheng was somewhat speechless at Wen Cai's stunned expression, but fortunately, he had spent a considerable amount of time with him and had gotten used to it, so he shared his thoughts...

···

After Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian left the courtyard, a golden light descended from the sky, revealing Zhang Zhiwei's figure. He bowed to Lin Jiu and Simu first, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"No need for formalities."

This move, "Golden Light Across the Ground," already astonished Lin Jiu and Si Mu. How could they dare to put on airs of elders just because they were a few years older?

Not to mention that Zhang Zhiwei is a ruthless person. He slapped their senior brother from Maoshan when they went up the mountain... It's fortunate that the senior brother left in advance, otherwise, if they had met Zhang Zhiwei again, who knows how awkward it would have been.

After the two became acquainted, Zhang Zhiwei explained the specific rules of the competition to Jiang Liu, saying, "Eleven matches, one-on-one, to be held over four days. The first three days will have three matches per day, and on the last day, I will compete against my junior brother Zhang Huaiyi."

The roster doesn't need to be finalized in advance. Generally, it's a matter of the Zhengyi sect making the moves and the Confucian sect responding, except that members of the Confucian sect who have already participated cannot participate again.

Jiang Liu had no objection to this rule.

To subdue Zhengyi, one must naturally counter his moves. If it were just a matter of force, he could do it all by himself, so why go through all this trouble?

"Could it be Shi Jian from the Shangqing faction?" Sai Huohou exclaimed. "He's definitely no match for the guild leader, but the guild leader can't make a move!"

"You were right, Brother Saihuo Monkey."

Zhang Zhiwei shrugged and then asked Jiang Liu, "So, who are you planning to send to spar with that 'senior brother' of the Zhengyi sect? I saw you arm wrestling with him just now, and I'm afraid he won't hold back."

"Sister Liu, you're sure you'll be fine going to spar with Shi Jian then, right?" Jiang Liu's gaze fell on Miss Liu.

"A piece of cake!"

After half a year, Miss Liu had completely settled her heart into the center of her body, and her blood and energy were becoming stronger and stronger, so she was full of confidence.

Shi Jian's lightning technique was indeed powerful and startled her, but as long as she used the "Flash Time Technique," she could ignore most attacks by gathering and dispersing her energy.

"Then there's no problem."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly and then transmitted his voice to Zhang Zhiwei, "Brother Zhiwei, your 'nephew' seems to have ulterior motives. He might launch a night attack on the female members of my team tonight. Would it be alright if you kept watch outside tonight?"

"Nephew/Master?"

Zhang Zhiwei was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Shi Shaojian and exclaimed in surprise, "He can't be that stupid, can he?"

This is the Celestial Master's Mansion!

"How should I put it? I'm afraid Master Shi spoiled him, so even though you slapped him and I suppressed him, he still has 'expectations'."

Jiang Liu was also slightly speechless. "Perhaps they think we're only strong in terms of life force, and are not wary of other evil techniques..."

Honestly, if I catch him red-handed, the matter will be much easier to resolve, and we might not even need to hold the contest anymore.

But this was a real slap in the face for Zheng Yi.

Therefore, Brother Zhiwei, although you are no longer a Taoist, Zhang Tianshi still recognizes you, so it would be best if you handled this matter.

All we want to do tonight is get a good night's sleep.

"rest assured!"

A dangerous glint appeared in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.

They are of the same breath and connected branches.

If that "senior brother's" son really dares to cause trouble here tonight by using some evil magic, then he, as the "junior uncle," will have to teach that scoundrel a good lesson!

If this gets out, it won't just be the Shangqing Maoshan Sect that loses face, but also the Celestial Master's Mansion...

···

That night.

Qiusheng, Wencai, and Jiale secretly got up, climbed out of the courtyard, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, they secretly climbed over the wall.

Zhang Zhiwei, who was secretly guarding the courtyard, opened his eyes the moment the three of them got out of bed. He quietly hid in the shadows and wondered to himself, "What are the disciples of Brother One Eyebrow and Brother Four Eyes doing outside in the middle of the night? Could it be that they are going to work together with Shi Shaojian from the inside?"

Oh shit!

What kind of things have the Taoist brothers from Maoshan collected?

Considering that Jiang Liu also gifted Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng Guangdian, Zhang Zhiwei thought that the two might be a bit "bad," but he thought they weren't bad.

Can go out in the middle of the night—

Still suspicious.

So he followed without making a sound.

The three were completely unaware that Zhang Zhiwei was following them. They ran away from the main road, took a side path, went through the woods, and arrived at the courtyard where Shi Jian was.

Logically speaking, the Maoshan disciples should already live in the same courtyard, but Shi Jian is twice or even twice as old as the others, and he has already cultivated to the point of "Qi Tong Tian Zhen" and has an extraordinary realm, so he naturally has a separate courtyard.

Upon seeing the courtyard, Qiu Sheng stopped and hid in the bushes, peering around before saying to Wen Cai and Jia Le, "If Shi Shaojian is going to perform a ritual, he definitely won't stay in the courtyard, otherwise it would be too blatant. He'll definitely come out. Let's wait."

In the blink of an eye.

An hour passed.

"Should we go back?"

Jiale yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said to Qiusheng.

"Yes, Qiusheng, he probably won't come out."

Wencai was also dozing off. "Think about it carefully. We have so many experts in our area. How dare he come?"

Even if they dared, they wouldn't do it tonight.

Moreover, the martial arts competition will begin tomorrow.

"That makes some sense."

After keeping watch for an hour, Qiu Sheng's eyelids were trembling. Just as he was about to call it a day, a dark figure darted out of the yard. The drowsiness in his eyes immediately vanished. He slapped Wen Cai and gave Jia Le two slaps to wake them up, saying, "He's out! Let's hurry and catch up!"

Ignoring Qiu Sheng's slap, the two were overcome with excitement and hurriedly followed Qiu Sheng in pursuit of the shadowy figure.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhiwei followed suit.

The dark figure was none other than Shi Shaojian. He quietly ran to a quiet grove of trees behind Longhu Mountain, took out his Qiankun bag, and took out a piece of white paper the size of a carpet. On it, special talismans were drawn with cinnabar. He then took out an incense burner, lit a pair of white candles, and inserted three incense sticks.

Afterwards, Shi Shaojian took out a black talisman and a strand of golden hair. He placed the hair into the talisman, rolled it up, lit it, and chanted an incantation. The talisman burned completely, turning into a wisp of invisible smoke that drifted towards the courtyard where Jiang Liu was located…
