Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"No, it definitely wasn't me. It was all done by the Quanxing demons. It has nothing to do with me. I just acted rashly."

"Don't play dumb with me! I'm asking you, did you hire that person?! Tell me the truth!"

"Definitely not. How could I possibly join forces with those utterly depraved Quanxing demons? Besides, they're the ones who kill people."

"…………"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, then the tone became very gloomy: "Do you think we don't know what you've done?"

“We saw all those little tricks, but we just didn’t want to get involved. I’ll ask you one more time, did you do this?”

"…………This time it wasn't me, I was fooled this time too."

Zhao Fangxu remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"I don't care whether what you said is true or false, but no matter who asks you later, you can't give a straight answer."

"And next time you do something, find me solid evidence. Even if it didn't exist originally, you have to conjure up evidence for me!"

"This matter is both a big and a small matter; to put it simply, it's just a misunderstanding."

"To put it bluntly, that's extremely serious! Baiyun Temple is located in Beijing, and there are countless people in the area who have connections with them."

"Do you think they might feel that your actions this time were deliberately targeting them? That it was all an act to deal with them?"

This was Zhao Fangxu's biggest worry. Everyone in the higher-ups was paranoid, and they would start to suspect that any slight movement was aimed at him.

My actions this time will definitely arouse suspicion, and I will definitely be targeted later! Although it's impossible for me to be removed from my current position.

But the future is definitely going to be tough.

"I'm going to a meeting now to do my best to suppress this matter. Be careful in your actions afterward."

"Anything involving those in higher positions must be handled with utmost caution, extreme caution, and absolutely no effort should be made to prevent them from feeling threatened!"

"Alright, that's enough said. As usual, destroy the SIM card, all traces of the phone, and forget everything."

The call ended, and Zhao Fangxu then destroyed the phone and other devices, erasing all traces, before preparing to leave.

"Third son, Fourth son, take the men and let's go."

Zhao Fangxu called Xu San and Xu Si to evacuate all the people from Na Du Tong. This matter was not over yet; he would have to face more questioning and reprimands later.

Xu San and Xu Si didn't know what had happened, but looking at Zhao Fangxu's gloomy face, they realized the seriousness of the situation.

He immediately ordered his men to withdraw and leave.

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

Meanwhile, the people in the lobby began to calm down. They stopped being restless and patiently sat down to drink tea.

The unease I felt has also disappeared.

"That solved the problem in one go. So what exactly did this Fatty Zhao come here for?"

Lu Jin watched the departing members of Nadutong Company, somewhat puzzled. They had caused such a commotion before, displaying an aura of invincibility.

But why did they run away like a drowned rat with its tail between its legs? What happened in such a short time?

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise; fortune and misfortune are interdependent."

The old Grand Tutor nodded when he saw this scene. What was originally a man-made disaster had turned into a blessing once it was over.

The man-made disaster is over, but what will happen next? The old master sat down, sipping tea and waiting patiently.

Time passed by, minute by minute! Until nightfall, the entire mountain was ablaze, and eerie blue flames enveloped the entire Baiyun Temple!

"It doesn't harm anything external, and it's entirely dark blue. This is Yin Fire, and this is the Earthly Calamity. That kid is really bold."

The old master looked at the blue flames spreading around the stool, but these flames did not ignite anything.

It had no temperature; it simply spread to everything it could touch, including people.

"That's strange, we're all surrounded by flames, how come you're the only one unharmed?"

Lu Jin was now surrounded by blue flames and had become a blue person. He looked at the old celestial master, whose body was covered with a layer of golden light.

The blue flames avoided contact and did not spread to the old master.

However, the other disciples of Longhu Mountain also activated the Golden Light Mantra, but their golden light was still covered by blue flames.

It is clear from this that the one who defends against the flames is not the Golden Light Mantra, but the Old Master himself!

"Maybe I'm a rather aloof person, which is why the flames don't want to get close to me."

The old master smiled and said.

"That's a pretty lame joke."

Lu Jin complained.

They stared at the Baiyun Temple, now engulfed in flames, wondering what Qin Qi was up to.

The flames began engulfing the entire mountain at night and burned until noon the next day!

"The Yang Spirit is complete!"

Qin Qi was surrounded by flames, but after his soul left his body, the surrounding yin fire began to dissipate on its own!

Yang Shen (阳神) refers to a soul that has shed all Yin energy and is left with only pure Yang energy. When one reaches this point, one's cultivation of life has been perfected!

Beyond that lies the realm of transcendence! Perhaps not quite reaching the strength of an immortal, but still worthy of being called a half-immortal.

Once Qin Qi has completed the physical tempering, he will truly be able to transcend the mundane world and transform from an ordinary mortal into a stronger being!

That will be a transformation in my life!

Moreover, after achieving the Yang God status, even if Qin Qi's physical body dies, he can survive in the form of the Yang God! This is undeniably powerful!

"Phew, because I moved the earth fire, the Seven Star Lamp lacked the tempering of the earth fire, so it couldn't be completed in a day."

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise."

Qin Qi looked at Fang Dongtian. At this moment, the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Ceremony was not yet completed. Originally, one day and one night would have been enough.

However, because Qin Qi moved the earth fire, this crisis was missing, and the tempering was also missing, so it will take more time to complete the life extension!

"We can't relax yet; there may be more crises to come. Take this time to rest!"

Qin Qi adjusted his breathing and began to gradually merge with nature, drawing energy from it to replenish his body's losses.

Another half day passed, and as night fell, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Qin Qi and his group squarely in the middle.

"They keep threatening to strike you with lightning, I'm speechless!"

Qin Qi sighed as he looked at the lightning tribulation, then jumped into the air and took the lightning bolt upon himself, not by blocking it but by enduring it with his bare body!

This divine punishment is both a punishment for those who defy fate and a test for them; if they pass it, they live, and if they fail, they die!

This was something that no one could do, but because Qin Qi performed the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique, and he had a very close relationship with Fang Dongtian.

He then used the method of cause and effect transformation to transfer this divine punishment to himself, so that he could bear it.

"Cough cough, that lightning bolt was really powerful!"

Qin Qi's skin and flesh were instantly charred, but as the Four Spirits appeared and the cycle of the four seasons unfolded, his injuries were instantly healed!

"Life continues endlessly throughout the four seasons, in an ever-renewing cycle!"

"Today I will defy the heavens! To fight against the heavens and the earth is an endless source of joy! Come and fight!"

"Boom!"

Perhaps Qin Qi was too arrogant, and even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore, so they sent down eight bolts of lightning that struck Qin Qi through!

"Shouldn't we have taken it one step at a time? Why did we attack them all at once? Is that the right thing to do?!"

Qin Qi's injuries have become even more serious. He wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries from the previous wounds.

But the eight bolts of lightning struck in one go, their combined power giving him no chance to catch his breath. The injuries penetrated deep into his internal organs, even damaging his bones.

"Nine times nine returns to the origin, come again! If you're so capable, then kill me!"

Qin Qi didn't learn a single lesson. He took a deep breath, used the Nine Returns to Origin Technique, and instantly recovered from his injuries!

At the same time, nine bolts of lightning converged in the sky and struck down in one go, this time with even greater power!

But this time it wasn't over yet. Nine times nine equals one, and indeed the lightning also equalized. The nine bolts of lightning gathered together and struck Qin Qi nine times in one go!

"Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering, again! Again!"

During this time, Qin Qi figured out how to use the power of heavenly lightning to forge his body, and the Three Powers, Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams continued to rotate!

His body began to be rebuilt under the repeated thunderbolts, shedding all impurities and absorbing the most powerful and yang energy from the thunder!

Reforge an indestructible body! With each act of destruction, Qin Qi's physical attributes will be enhanced.

Gradually, his body became pure Yang, and his resistance to lightning became incredibly strong!

Since ancient times, evil spirits have been most afraid of thunder, but Qin Qi's soul and body are both pure Yang at this time, so this terrifying thunder has become the best tonic in his eyes!

After being tempered by lightning, he began to condense his supreme Dao foundation!

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

"This kid is still acting arrogant even after being hacked like this. He's really stubborn."

The old celestial master looked at Qin Qi, who was being struck by lightning in the sky, and couldn't help but chuckle. Then he looked at Lu Jin and said, "What do you think, Lu Jin?"

Lu Jin's expression immediately turned ugly. He had a feeling that the old master was implying something, whether he was talking about that kid or him.

"You're amazing. You try to withstand it yourself."

Lu Jin said irritably.

"Now that I'm older, I would really like to try it if I were younger."

The old celestial master looked at Qin Qi not far away, using lightning to temper his body and remove evil spirits, and using earth fire to burn his soul and remove yin energy.

With both his body and soul cultivated to the ultimate state of pure Yang, this kid's cultivation has reached its peak!

If the old master couldn't see through Qin Qi's true nature before, he can't see it now; Qin Qi's true nature is far too complex.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Burning in Flames, Tempered by Heavenly Thunder, Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, the Great Dao Achieved! (Third Update Complete!)

"Grandpa, I feel like my martial uncle has been struck by lightning and cooked. I can almost smell the roasted meat."

Lu Linglong stood beside Lu Jin, looking at Qin Qi, who was being struck by lightning in the sky, with a worried expression. She sniffed and indeed smelled the aroma of roasted meat.

"Oh, nephew, I'm sorry, we're cooking. Would you like to join us for some?"

At this moment, Rong Shan came out with some skewers. They had been grilling meat not far away, and the smell that Lu Linglong had smelled was from the grilled meat.

"Uncle Rongshan, please don't do this kind of thing at such a serious time. Mmm, it smells so good, I'll just have a taste."

Lu Linglong looked at the skewers Rong Shan handed her and couldn't resist taking a bite. Then she couldn't resist eating another skewer, and then ten skewers.

“Nephew, don’t worry, your junior brother will definitely be fine. That guy is the most powerful person I’ve ever met besides Master.”

"I truly cannot imagine what he cannot handle, what could kill him!"

Rong Shan looked at Qin Qi being struck by lightning in the sky, but for some reason he couldn't feel nervous, especially after hearing Qin Qi's arrogant words.

He became even less nervous; he didn't believe Qin Qi would die in the thunder at all.

"That's right, Uncle-Master will definitely be fine. Could you please sprinkle some extra chili powder on me, Uncle-Master Rongshan? I like it spicy."

Lu Linglong nodded. Her martial uncle was so powerful, he would definitely be fine. "Okay, let's grill some more skewers and eat together when he comes over."

This wait lasted for a whole day and night, and the lightning struck for a whole day and night before it finally stopped!

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

When everything was over, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and golden sunlight shone on Qin Qi. Above his head, an illusory lotus flower unfolded!

"The Five Elements converge at the origin, the Three Flowers gather at the crown, the body is without leakage, and the soul is pure Yang. I lack nothing now!"

When Qin Qi opened his eyes, a dazzling divine light burst forth from them, and the Three Flowers returned to his body. Qin Qi's supreme foundation was completed!

Originally, it would have taken Qin Qi quite a while to get to where he is today, but the Three Tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man accelerated his cultivation!

After surviving the man-made calamity, he was blessed with great fortune! After surviving the earth-shattering calamity, he was blessed with the Yang God. All of this was in preparation for surviving the final tribulation of lightning!

The great fortune signifies that Qin Qi is a person favored by Heaven. Although he goes against the will of Heaven, the power of the tribulation lightning will be weakened.

There is no evil within the Yang spirit, and it is even more able to withstand the extremely strong and Yang power of thunder!
