But at that very moment, a voice faintly rang in Zhang Huaiyi's ear.

"Uncle-Master, have you forgotten me?"

"not good!"

Zhang Huaiyi sensed something was wrong, for Xia Zhi had silently approached him without him noticing.

Xia Zhi extended his lightning claw and gently pressed it against Zhang Huaiyi's shoulder.

The ferocious Yang Wu Lei fiercely bit into the magical defense covering Zhang Huaiyi's body!

"drink!"

Zhang Huaiyi exhaled and uttered a sound, fully activating the Qi within his body, transforming it into magical power to unleash his Yang Five Thunders, and doing his utmost to resist Xia Zhi's Yang Five Thunders.

However, Xia Zhi also wields magical power.

The two bolts of Yang Wu thunder collided with each other, producing bursts of lightning and sparks that were dazzling even in daylight.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a tiger pounced and slammed into Zhang Huaiyi's waist!

Although the tiger was shattered by Zhang Huaiyi's protective lightning in the next moment, the impact still made him sway and his legs become unsteady.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Zhi suddenly exerted his strength, using tremendous force to suppress Zhang Huaiyi's Yang Wu Lei with Yang Wu Lei.

His body had devoured the thousand-year-old serpent monster and many eight-eyed giant spiders, and his own strength, even without using magic, was measured in tons.

Zhang Huaiyi's Yang Wu Lei finally gave out, and Xia Zhi firmly pressed down on his shoulder.

If he keeps squeezing, Zhang Huaiyi's shoulder will be crushed.

Xia Zhi smiled, let go of his hand, and took two steps back.

He put away the Yang Five Thunders on his body, took his magic wand, and bowed to Zhang Huaiyi.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me."

Zhang Huaiyi also withdrew his Qi, feeling somewhat embarrassed yet also gratified, and sighed.

"The younger generation is truly formidable! Our Longhu Mountain has worthy successors!"

He asked Xia Zhi with a puzzled look.

"What is that tiger-transformation trick of yours? I've never seen it before. Could it be a new spell that you, Senior Brother, comprehended from the Celestial Master's teachings?"

"This is magic I learned from abroad, and it's very different from our Qi. Currently, I'm the only one in the world who can cultivate both Qi and magic at the same time."

Xia Zhi smiled at Zhang Huaiyi.

"Uncle-Master, can you come back with me now?"

Chapter 298 Zhang Huaiyi's Escape

"Yes. Almost fifty years have passed. I've grown old, and so have my senior brother and junior brother Tian."

Zhang Huaiyi sighed a couple of times, seemingly swayed by Xia Zhi's words.

But the next moment, something happened that caught everyone off guard.

Zhang Huaiyi instantly activated his thunder magic, abandoning his son and grandson, and turned to run away.

"Nephew, give up! Your uncle will never go back! Hahahaha!"

Summer Solstice: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

I was stunned!

This is not the Zhang Huaiyi I know!

No wonder his master and Uncle Tian both call him Big-Eared Thief!

This was the first time Zhang Yude had ever seen his father, who was known for his absolute authority and strict discipline, also act like a rogue. He and Zhang Chulan were both dumbfounded.

Xia Zhi's smile froze.

Watching Zhang Huaiyi run off into the distance, he spoke very kindly to Zhang Yude and Zhang Chulan.

"Senior brother, Chu Lan, let's go back to the mountain first. I left a mark on our martial uncle; he can't escape. After I send you back, I'll come back to 'invite' him back to the mountain!"

Xia Zhi's smile appeared very friendly on the surface, but Zhang Yude and Zhang Chulan could both sense a huge "Qi" gathering around him.

It seemed as if if they dared to pull such a stunt, a palm strike would immediately send them on their way.

The word "please" in particular even gave the two of them a tender feeling of being torn apart by five horses.

"Senior brother, you're not planning to run away with Chu Lan too, are you?"

Faced with Xia Zhi's smile, Zhang Yude, who had initially had some ideas, immediately shook his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"No way! How could that be!"

Zhang Yude and Zhang Chulan went into the house, packed some things, and came out carrying a large bag and a small bag.

Zhang Yude smiled at Xia Zhi.

"Junior brother, shall we set off now?"

Xia Zhi extended her left hand and spoke to Zhang Yude and Zhang Chulan.

"Senior brother, Chu Lan is grabbing my arm."

"so?"

The two of them grabbed Xia Zhi's arm with some curiosity.

The next moment, Xia Zhi flicked her magic wand lightly.

"Apparate!"

Snapped!

A crisp sound, like a balloon exploding, rang out from the spot, and Xia Zhi, Zhang Yude, and Zhang Chulan instantly vanished from their original positions.

Soon after, villagers who had heard the continuous thunder came running over, only to find the gate locked and the house empty.

They saw the broken millstone and stone block on the ground and wondered.

"Old Zhang smashed something? He's so angry, he even broke the millstone? He's got some strength!"

For several days afterward, the villagers did not see Zhang Huaiyi and his family, so some concerned villagers notified the police.

Later, NaDuTong was also alerted.

Two employees from Na Du Tong came over and, after investigation, determined that these were extraordinary individuals, and that two "high-level masters" had fought here. They immediately reported this to the higher authorities.

Soon, Dou Le, the head of NaDuTong's East China region, arrived at the scene with his temporary workers.

Dou Le looked at the surrounding traces, especially the numerous carbonized spiderweb-like scorch marks, and suddenly felt a toothache.

"This is a Thunder Mage."

Any supernatural force involved in thunder magic is not someone to be trifled with!

He flipped through the research materials he had collected, and then his head started spinning.

"Zhang Xilin, Zhang Yude, and Zhang Chulan, a grandfather and grandson? They look to be over seventy years old, their surname is Zhang, and they are proficient in thunder magic?"

Dou Le quickly realized something.

"So Zhang Xilin is probably just an alias. His real name is Zhang Huaiyi! Did some high-ranking priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion come down the mountain and fight with Zhang Huaiyi?"

Since it concerned the Eight Extraordinary Skills and the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, Dou Le really wished he could turn back time and pretend he had never been there.

"Who would believe it was a coincidence! The Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain was looking for Zhang Huaiyi of the 'Qi Body Source Flow,' and they actually found him? This is going to cause a lot of trouble in the world of supernatural beings!"

……

On the other side, Xia Zhi, along with Zhang Yude and Zhang Chulan, had just disappeared from the land of Qi and Lu, and the next moment they arrived near Huangshan.

Zhang Yude's face turned pale and then red, while Zhang Chulan vomited out loud.

His face was deathly pale, his body swayed precariously, and he nearly fainted.

Apparition is definitely not a pleasant experience.

It's like being squeezed into a thick rubber tube, unable to breathe, with every part of your body subjected to intense compression.

Moreover, it's such a long distance from Shandong to Huangshan.

Summer solstice also causes excessive energy expenditure, resulting in some headaches.

Traveling nearly a thousand miles together with three people was quite strenuous for him.

After entering the city, they booked two rooms in a hotel and rested for two days before they used Phantom Shift again amidst Zhang Chulan's pale face.

……

Xia Zhi traveled alone from Longhu Mountain to the land of Qilu, taking less than a day on a flying broomstick, but it took three days to return with two other people.

With a snap, sensing the unusual Qi, Zhang Zhiwei ran over and saw that Xia Zhi had returned with two people.

Although Zhang Huaiyi wasn't in it, the two figures, one big and one small, looked quite similar to the Big-Eared Thief from his memory!

Upon seeing Zhang Zhiwei, Xia Zhi raised her hand in a salute.

“Master. This is Senior Brother Zhang Yude, the son of Martial Uncle Zhang, and his grandson Zhang Chulan.”

Looking at the three of them, who all looked rather unwell, especially Zhang Chulan who was vomiting and seemed unable to get used to it, Zhang Zhiwei frowned.

Are you injured?

Xia Zhi shook her head slightly.

"This is a side effect of magic; you'll be fine after a short rest."

Zhang Yude, who was strong and healthy, was the first to recover.

He didn't know how to perform the Taoist rituals of Longhu Mountain, so he simply knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to Zhang Zhiwei.

"Zhang Yude pays respects to the Sect Leader, Senior Uncle!"

Zhang Zhiwei was overjoyed to see that Zhang Huaiyi not only had a son, but also a grandson.

"Good! Good! Get up, child. It's good that you're back!"

He pulled Zhang Chulan aside, used his Qi to help him recover quickly, and asked Xia Zhi.

"What about your martial uncle? Is he still unwilling to return to Longhu Mountain?"

Hearing Zhang Zhiwei's question, Xia Zhi's eye twitched, and Zhang Yude also showed an embarrassed expression.

"I was caught off guard and my martial uncle escaped. However, I have marked him and will go back to invite him back to Longhu Mountain after resting for a few days!"

Zhang Zhiwei expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Ran away? Hmph. He's eighty years old, how much longer can he run? If he doesn't come back soon, his grave might be dug up!"

He gave Zhang Chulan a massage, and once he recovered, he spoke to Zhang Chulan in a kind and gentle manner.

"Chu Lan, I'm your grandmaster! Come, let me show you around Longhu Mountain. From now on, this will be your home!"

"Master!"

After recovering, Zhang Chulan followed his father's example and kowtowed three times to the Old Celestial Master.

He grinned, and like Zhang Lingyu, he was also missing a few teeth.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Zhiwei took Zhang Chulan's hand and helped him up, his face beaming with joy.

"Come on, I'll take you to find your Martial Uncle Lingyu. You're not that far apart in age, so you should get to know each other better!"

Chapter 299 Searching Again

Zhang Zhiwei, accompanied by Zhang Yude and Zhang Chulan, first showed Tian Jinzhong his condition.

Like Zhang Zhiwei, Tian Jinzhong immediately noticed that the two men shared many characteristics with Zhang Huaiyi.

For example, those big ears!

Looking at Tian Jinzhong's prosthetic arms, which were clearly different from those of ordinary people, the two realized that it was caused by their father (grandfather), and felt extremely ashamed. They knelt down and kowtowed to Tian Jinzhong.

"Zhang Yude pays respects to Uncle Tian!"
