Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

After making his decision, the old celestial master summoned Rongshan and, together with Tian Jinzhong, rushed to Baiyun Temple as fast as possible!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Back at Baiyun Temple, the people sitting in the main hall drinking tea became increasingly agitated, though they themselves didn't know why.

Anyway, there was a sense of unease, which prompted them to take some action; some people sensed that something was wrong.

But he still chose to follow his intuition and kept asking Fang Dongtian where he was going.

"What on earth is that kid doing? How come so many people are affected! Wait, could it be one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"

"The Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Rootless Life! Rootless Life! No, calm down, calm down!"

Lu Jin almost fell into the trap. He couldn't help but think of the time when Wu Gensheng killed the old sect leader.

He couldn't help but think of the tragic deaths of his fellow disciples, and he almost rushed out to find Qin Qi and question him about where Wugensheng was!

But after regaining his senses, he immediately realized that Qin Qi could not possibly be related to Wugensheng; their ages and backgrounds were completely different.

I must have been influenced by something to think that way just now! But what was that thing?!

Just as Lu Jin was wondering, Xu San and Xu Si arrived with the people from Na Du Tong. They were looking for Qin Qi.

“There are a few cases recently that may be related to Master Qin Qi. Chairman Zhao asked us to take him away for questioning.”

"No, my martial uncle isn't here right now."

“But according to our information, he has been in the mountains and hasn’t come out. This time, the young Taoist priest’s situation is very serious; it involves the murder of an ordinary person.”

"Um……"

"It still won't work. Please discuss everything tomorrow."

Liu Xingyang stepped forward at this moment, increasingly convinced that Qin Qi must have done something extraordinary!

At this moment, all the unusual movements were aimed at finding him, and the more they wanted to find him, the more Liu Xingyang had to stop them!

"If Third Brother and Fourth Brother can't speak, then what about me? This matter is far too serious; the higher-ups have already ordered me to investigate."

At this moment, Zhao Fangxu walked in from outside, with Master Zhao beside him. This time, he was unable to stop the other party.

When it comes to the deaths of ordinary people, the company received verbal permission from above, and the Taoist Association had no choice but to compromise.

At this time, the people from NaDuTong Company at the foot of the mountain had already begun preparing to search the mountain!

On their way, they were stopped by disciples of Longhu Mountain, and at that time, the Old Celestial Master and Tian Jinzhong also arrived.

"Alas, my old arms and legs are really no good for rushing along."

The old Celestial Master walked along the road, step by step, towards the main hall. After entering, he glanced at everyone, smiled, and said:

“They’re all here.”

"Old Celestial Master, what brings you here?"

Zhao Fangxu frowned. What was the old master doing here at this time? Could it be that he wanted to help that kid?

"Just wandering around. Oh, by the way, looks like the company's planning to arrest someone. I wonder who they're targeting? Do you need my help?"

The old celestial master asked the question.

"No need, this is a company matter, so I won't trouble you, Master."

Zhao Fangxu refused, then frowned even more as he looked at the Longhu Mountain disciples blocking the company employees.

"You are obstructing official business, and I have the right to arrest you all as well!"

Zhao Fangxu's words did not shake the disciples of Longhu Mountain in the slightest; the old Celestial Master had said so when they came.

No one is allowed to go up the mountain. Uncle-Master Qin Qi is doing something important and absolutely cannot be disturbed. No matter who it is, they must be stopped!

These people were all people who followed Qin Qi to wipe out the Quanxing gang. They were all grateful for Qin Qi's kindness, and they were not slacking off at all when they came to help.

They really did it!

"When my disciples and their descendants heard that I was coming to Baiyun Temple, they insisted on coming to see my nephew Qin Qi."

"By the way, you still haven't answered me who Mr. Zhao wants to arrest?"

The old master was still pretending to be confused when Lu Jin stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, causing the old master to narrow his eyes.

'This kid is really trying to prolong his life; he's got guts.'

Lu Jin only said that no one should disturb Qin Qi within a day, and the old master deduced what Qin Qi was doing from this behavior.

"Old Celestial Master, stop pretending to be confused. This involves ordinary people, so Qin Qi must be taken away for interrogation!"

Zhao Fangxu was repeatedly frustrated by Qin Qi, and instantly became angry, his composure completely shattered.

"Don't rush, wait until tomorrow. If it's true, I'll personally cripple that kid and hand him over to you to deal with. But not today. If you're willing, you can wait here."

"If you don't want to leave, then leave. No matter what you say, we won't let you search the mountain today."

The old master spoke in a calm tone, but those around him could sense an undeniable authority in his voice.

"Zhang Zhiwei! Don't forget who you are!"

Zhao Fangxu immediately became anxious. He didn't know why, but he felt very uneasy and had a desire to find Qin Qi as soon as possible.

"I'll say it again, either sit down obediently, or get out!"

The old master didn't stand on ceremony. With a single glance, Zhao Fangxu froze on the spot, only then realizing who the person in front of him was!

The Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain! The unparalleled master, second only to one person! He was the number one person in the world from his youth, and he remains the number one person even in his old age!

The other party may not be able to fight against the state, but killing him is still a piece of cake! Dealing with an ordinary person like him doesn't even require lifting a finger.

His sheer presence alone could scare someone to death! This is the serious look of Zhang Zhiwei, a master among men!

"He's so old and still has such a bad temper. But Mr. Zhao, I'm willing to vouch for him. If anything happens to Qin Qi, I'll take responsibility."

Lu Jin also stepped forward at this moment. He and Fang Dongtian had been friends since the past. Qin Qi could not be said to have been raised by him, but it was close enough.

He was willing to stand up at this time and trust the other party.

"Never mind what it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Keep track of the time, guard the mountain, that kid can't escape, and he won't run away!"

Lu Jin spoke up.

What could Zhao Fangxu say at this point? The old master had already lost his temper, so he had no choice but to agree and sit down to wait.

Around noon, the situation in Qin Qi's area began to change. The man-made disaster gradually dissipated, and what followed was the natural disaster!

Rolling fire erupted from the ground, preparing to scorch Fang Dongtian, but it was all transferred to him by the array that Qin Qi had set up!

----------------------

Isn't this pace a bit too fast? It's the third update today too.

Chapter Ninety-Six: We, the younger generation, have our own arrogance; we dare to test our mettle against heaven and earth!

"Phew, this time it's an earthquake disaster, huh? Well then, let's see if you can burn me to death or if I can suppress you!"

Qin Qi showed no fear whatsoever. Even as flames engulfed him, he remained unmoved, and the sixty-four hexagrams appeared around him!

It includes the changes of the Five Elements, the Four Directions and Four Spirits, and the Four Seasons, and also the constant flow of the Three Powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man!

Qin Qi is refining the earth fire! This flame surges from the ground, harming the body but specifically scorching the soul!

This underground Yin Fire is an extremely dangerous thing, but it is also a good thing for tempering the remaining Yin energy in the soul!

Qin Qi immediately created a technique in the flames that used Yin Fire to temper the soul and forge a pure Yang soul!

He sat quietly amidst the earth fire, enduring the scorching flames, the yin energy within his soul transforming into wisps of black mist that scattered into the air!

....................................................................................

Meanwhile, outside, the people who had gathered due to the man-made disaster began to change, starting with the issue of Qin Qi killing ordinary people.

Zhao Fangxu received a call from the company, which included a report on the investigation into Qin Qi's murder of ordinary people.

"Mr. Zhao, according to our investigation, the Qin Qi Daoist priest captured in the surveillance video who killed ordinary people is likely a fake!"

"We also saw Master Qin Qi's figure in the surveillance footage on a street outside Zhuge Village."

"By checking the time, we found that the two figures appeared less than five minutes apart. It's impossible for them to kill someone in Beijing and then run to Zhuge Village in such a short time."

Zhao Fangxu immediately tensed up after hearing the report from his superiors. He had dared to come in such a high-profile manner this time.

It's precisely because the surveillance video clearly captured Qin Qi committing murder, but now you're telling me it's fake!

"What exactly happened? Could it be a smokescreen? Could that surveillance video be fake? Was that person an imposter?!"

Zhao Fangxu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, considering this possibility, we have already sent people to inquire near Zhuge Village. Please wait a moment, the report has been returned."

Zhao Fangxu waited a while, and then the person on the other end of the phone continued to report.

"According to the latest news from President Zhao, Master Qin Qi was indeed visiting Zhuge Village at the time. After our people inquired, they discovered that he is the current head of Zhuge Village."

"Zhuge Gong, his son Zhuge Qing, and Zhuge Bai, Zhuge Lü, Zhuge Meng, Zhuge Guan, Zhuge Sheng, and seven others, plus the old woman at the door, can prove that Qin Qi was in Zhuge Village at that time."

"A total of eight witnesses!"

Zhao Fangxu became even more nervous, as things began to develop in a direction unfavorable to him. At this moment, Master Liu from the Taoist Association also received a phone call.

"Okay, yes, I understand, hahaha, good!"

Master Liu, who had been feeling down and gloomy, suddenly brightened up. He looked at Zhao Fangxu and then gave him a smug smile.

The information Zhao Fangxu had just obtained was leaked to them the very next second, and now the situation has reversed!

"Is it possible that the person who went to Zhuge Village was an imposter?"

Seeing Liu Daoist's expression, Zhao Fangxu's arrogant demeanor immediately turned gloomy; the other party had already received the news.

"Well, that's basically impossible. Back then, Zhuge Gong asked Daoist Qin Qi to guide a few of the younger members of his family."

"At that time, the group really fought. Appearances can be faked, but cultivation level, realm, and techniques cannot be faked."

"The most likely explanation now is that the Taoist priest Qin Qi who committed the murder was actually an imposter."

The voice on the other end of the phone continued to report bad news, and then another call came in, which the person hurriedly answered.

"Mr. Zhao, there's another breaking news. The person impersonating Master Qin Qi has made another move, and this time they unexpectedly encountered someone from the industry."

"The two engaged in battle, and the person disguised as Daoist Qin Qi revealed his true identity as the Demon Master Yu Hua Du of the Quanxing Sect."

At this moment, veins bulged on Zhao Fangxu's forehead. The Thousand-Faced Man's Poison Painting Technique was a unique skill, and he was most proficient in disguise!

And this time he was caught red-handed, so his previous excuses are completely untenable! This is troublesome.

"Mr. Zhao, didn't you say you had solid evidence before, and that no matter who came, it wouldn't make a difference?"

"Isn't it said that even if you have a powerful backer, you can't break the law? Well said. I feel there's something wrong with this matter."

"You've always targeted our martial uncle before, is this time you settling a personal score?"

"Mr. Zhao, don't rush to explain. Save it for when you talk to your superiors. Let's see if they believe you. Fatty Zhao, you've really messed up this time."

Master Liu laughed heartily. He felt as good as he had before, when he had been suffocated by the fat man.

Now it's your turn to suffer, Fatty Zhao.

Zhao Fangxu's face was gloomy. Then another call went through to him. Hearing the ringtone, he hurriedly went out of the house and found a secluded place.

"I am Zhao Fangxu."

"Fatty Zhao! What are you doing! Who gave you the right to surround Baiyun Temple? Do you know how serious this is?!"

An extremely angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Everything was fine at first, but..."

"Don't give me a 'but'!"

"Do you know how many departments and how many people are waiting for us to make mistakes? Do you know how many people want a piece of this company?"

"The military, politics, all sides—they were unwilling to contribute when things didn't work out, but now that they've succeeded, they want to reap the benefits!"

"Do you know how much pressure I'm under up there? At a time like this, you're still causing me trouble. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?!"

The person on the phone was hurling insults at Zhao Pangzi, but he couldn't utter a single word because the person on the other end was someone from above.

"Phew, tell me honestly, did you orchestrate this?"
