Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

At this moment, knowing the truth of the past, he was calmer and more afraid of death than anyone else. At the same time, he was absolutely certain that leaving the mountain gate would be tantamount to courting death. The Wang and Lü families, the World Society, and other forces were simply beyond his ability to contend with.

"Bastard!"

"Let me tell you, if anything happens to the baby, you, Zhang Chulan, even if you become a worthless Taoist master, I will make you pay the price!"

Enraged, Xu Si grabbed Zhang Chulan by the collar and began cursing.

"Alright... Xu Si!"

"This is not the time to argue about this! Come on, let's go back."

Xu San pulled the two apart and dragged Xu Si away, not wanting to waste time pointlessly here.

"Xu San!! You're still helping this little bastard."

"Enough!! Don't you know Zhang Chulan's situation?"

Xu San's face was gloomy. He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, saying, "You want him to go down the mountain? Can you protect him? Do you want him to die? We'll handle Bao Bao's matter ourselves."

"Third brother, I..."

When Zhang Chulan saw the two brothers arguing incessantly, he tried to persuade them to stop, but was scolded.

"Shut up and do your job. Before you become a true master, with your mediocre skills, everything you do will only drag us down."

Xu San said without any mercy, and he forcefully dragged the cursing Xu Si away.

"You cowardly little bastard, don't let me see you again. If anything happens to Bao'er, you'd better not live either."

"Aaaaaah!! Xu San, don't pull me!"

Chapter 255 The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Jiang Lin and the Lü Family

Eight o'clock at night.

After a tiring afternoon, Zhang Zhiwei finally finished all the trivial matters and came to the pavilion on the back mountain to meet Jiang Mo and the others.

"Oh? Senior brother, you've finally arrived."

"Is everything alright inside? Are any of the little ones hurt?" Tian Jinzhong asked, raising his hand.

"No, I've sent all the company's people away. Quanxing's operation this time also exceeded their expectations. The deceased will be properly handled and cremated."

Zhang Zhiwei walked into the pavilion, plopped down, and looked at the two kneeling boys, asking in surprise, "Just them?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Master Jiang's timely help, I would probably have been harmed by him."

Tian Jinzhong gave a general account of what happened.

Although Zhang Zhiwei showed no obvious anger, Gong Qing and Lü Liang, whose injuries had eased, were both drenched in sweat and trembling like leaves.

The person closest to them was none other than the frost-haired youth who had attacked them earlier. He had used extraordinary methods to severely injure them in an instant, and even now, thinking back on it still made them shudder.

"Who...who is this?"

"Why...is there no such person's name in the martial arts world...?"

Gong Qing and Lü Liang were pale, their hearts filled with regret and fear. Even though they racked their brains anxiously, they could not get any clues about the person in front of them.

“Gong Qing.…”

"The acting leader of Quanxing has been patiently waiting for three years, which is quite remarkable. Tell me, what exactly are you planning this time? Did you orchestrate the attack on the mountain?"

Faced with Zhang Zhiwei's questioning, Gong Qing dared not raise his head to meet his gaze, but only spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Searching for clues about the origins of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques...the siege of the mountain to create chaos was my plan..."

"After all these years, you still remember it? Sigh."

Zhang Zhiwei suddenly felt a headache coming on. This troublesome thing brought disaster wherever it went, and he couldn't hide it no matter what he wanted to do.

There have always been people in the martial arts world who are interested in this, which is understandable. It's just that the power hidden behind this extraordinary skill is too shocking. Most extraordinary people get dizzy and unable to control their greed after just one glance.

"Grand Tutor, is there anything else... you need to ask?"

No matter how eloquently Gong Qing spoke or how sincerely he submitted, Zhang Zhiwei still distanced himself from him:

"Stop, I'm not your Grand Tutor, the leader of Quanxing. No need for that."

"Little brat from the Lü family, did your old man send you?"

"No... this junior... came by myself..."

Lu Liang replied in fear. Having been born in Lu Family Village, he knew Lu Ci's ruthlessness better than anyone else and would never dare to smear the old man.

"Really? You come from a good background, so why bother mixing with this group of people?"

"This junior...this junior does not know..."

Overwhelmed by the pressure, Lü Liang became incoherent, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Yes, he doesn't know how he ended up in this situation; every step he took was extremely poor.

However, Zhang Zhiwei was too lazy to ask any more questions. He simply flicked his left finger, and two golden light spots were condensed and struck Gong Qing and Lü Liang between the eyebrows. Their brains buzzed, and their bodies went limp and they fainted.

Inside the pavilion, Jiang Mo drank tea, Lu Jin remained silent, and Tian Jinzhong seemed to be deep in thought.

"How about... I go down the mountain for a walk?"

Considering the potential for further threats, Zhang Zhiwei decided to fight against the Quanxing sect.

"Old Lu, Old Tian, ​​what do you two think?"

"Hey, Master Jiang, do you think it'll work?"

Tian Jinzhong hesitated slightly, then reminded him:

"This is a peaceful and stable era. Senior brother, if you were to wage war against Quanxing, many people would likely die. Should we inform the company first?"

"Greeting...I'm afraid that won't be an option."

Zhang Zhiwei declined to discuss the matter with the company.

He knew that once the company found out about his intentions, he would definitely face obstruction. After all, those people always liked to maintain stability and controlled the forces of good and evil to a state of equilibrium, and would not allow him to go on a killing spree.

Furthermore, Quanxing's actions this time have given Zhang Zhiwei enough reason to retaliate. As long as he acts quickly, it won't be easy for the company to intervene or hold him accountable.

“Since you want to go down the mountain, then there’s no need to worry. Use this kid to gather that bunch of scum together and deal with them.”

"I'll keep an eye on Ten Elders for you. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll deal with them."

Lu Jin supported Zhang Zhiwei's actions and considered his future situation.

"A true man acts without needing to explain himself to others."

Jiang Mo put down his teacup, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"It's one thing to deter petty villains and dispel their desire for extraordinary skills, but it's another to save face for the sect. Do what you think is right."

"It just so happens that I also want to visit the Lü family. I'll take Lü Liang with me and see how the Lü family's bloodline is doing now."

"Oh? You're implying something, aren't you, Master Jiang? Would you like to have a chat with us?"

Zhang Zhiwei was quite curious about the secrets of the Lü family.

"The Lu family's Soul-Clearing Technique is the same as the Double-Handed Blue Hand technique from back then. It was inherited through Duanmu Ying's bloodline modification. However, that witch may have secretly planted methods in the bodies of some members of the Lu family out of hatred, waiting for an opportunity to possess them. Many years have passed, and I want to go and see if the entire Lu family has been possessed by her."

Jiang Mo waved his hand, and a transparent vortex suddenly opened, pulling Lü Liang into it.

"It's actually possible...?!"

Tian Jinzhong turned pale upon hearing this, realizing that the entire Lü family, including both direct and collateral relatives, numbered probably one or two hundred people.

"If she is powerful enough, the number will be far greater than this."

"In the end, cultivation is nothing more than replicating one soul after another, like puppets. The current her is nothing more than the original body that I killed back then, a product derived from memories and malice."

Jiang Mo said casually, he didn't know if Duanmu Ying, who had been hiding for so many years, would bring him any surprises when she made a comeback.

After listening to the opinions of the three men, Zhang Zhiwei felt that the plan to go down the mountain was feasible and decided to carry it out. He took out his phone and tagged everyone in the group chat of his ten disciples that night, giving them the order.

"Tomorrow I will go down the mountain to purge the Quanxing sect. No matter what news comes, no one is allowed to leave the mountain. At the same time, I have ordered that the Zhengyi disciples in various places also not to go out. My mind is made up. Anyone who tries to dissuade me or disobeys my orders will be expelled from the sect."

"Fourth brother, you're the most discreet and obedient. Come with me."

Soon, disciples began to receive the order and reply with only four simple words: "Disciple understands."

........

The next day, early in the morning.

Jiang Mo, Lu Jin, Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, and Zhao Huanjin descended the mountain together. As they passed through a certain mountain path, they sensed a strange aura lurking hundreds of meters away.

"?"

Jiang Mo frowned slightly, then took a step and disappeared. In an instant, he returned carrying a panicked assassin. He was wearing a tactical cloak that mimicked the jungle, and had blond hair and blue eyes, clearly a foreigner.

"......"

Looking at the dark, large-caliber sniper rifle, Zhang Zhiwei understood everything.

With Zhang Chulan's flesh and blood and golden light technique, he simply couldn't withstand such an attack. It seems his intuition was right; not letting the child go down the mountain was indeed a wise move.

"Who sent you?"

"I...click."

Seeing that his mission had been exposed, the assassin angrily pulled the pin on the grenade at his waist.

However, Jiang Mo was a step ahead. With a single sweep of his hand, the assassin, along with his tactical uniform, firearms, and grenades, dissolved into wisps of yellowish-brown earthen energy, sinking into the ground and disappearing forever.

The group continued their journey. As they were about to part ways at the foot of the mountain, with a "whoosh!" sound, Jiang Mo dragged Gong Qing out of the heavenly realm and handed him over to Zhang Zhiwei to guard.

"Keep an eye on him, Zhiwei. Jin'er and I will go ahead first."

"Hey, wait for my good news. After we agree on the location for the final showdown, would you and Lao Lu like to come and join in the fun?"

"talk later."

Gong Qing, listening to the conversation between the two, had his pupils shrink slightly and stood frozen in place.

The over 100-year-old Celestial Master addressed the young man, who was barely twenty, as an elder. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there could be such an immortal person in the world. Just how terrifying was his cultivation?

I actually attacked someone like that, no wonder... I didn't lose unjustly.

In the instant he lowered his head in a daze, Jiang Mo, along with Lu Jin, transformed into a dazzling silver light and vanished into the vast天地 (heaven and earth), leaving no trace.

A detached voice pulled him back to reality.

"Gong Qing, gather your disciples and let's find a place to have a good talk."

"It is... the Celestial Master."

A fierce glint appeared in Gong Qing's eyes. With his head possibly being snapped off at any moment, he had no room to refuse.

"Just wait patiently."

Zhao Huanjin released two beams of golden light, which condensed into chains that firmly bound Gong Qing's hands.

Zhang Zhiwei looked up at the clear blue sky and felt the gentle breeze, and murmured, "Hmm, the weather is nice."

"Let's go, fourth brother."

"Hey, Master, you're here."

The master and disciple detained the leader of Quanxing Sect and embarked on their journey, determined to wage war against Quanxing, causing bloodshed and eliminating any future threat.

.......

Lüjia Village.

Inside an ancient hall, Lü Ci held his mobile phone, leisurely brewing tea while listening to Wang Ai's smug voice.

"Hehe, Hedgehog, aren't my sources pretty good?"

"I told you the Quanxing sect would cause trouble, and look, here they are. I wonder how many Celestial Master's Mansion disciples were killed. Of course, in my opinion, it would be better if all these poor, pedantic, and stinking Taoist priests were dead."

"Fatty, why are you talking like a gossip? If you're so capable, go and take revenge yourself."

Lu Ci smiled wryly. He was tired of hearing about it. He felt a little regretful. There had indeed been an unexpected incident in this operation. Gu Liang had mysteriously disappeared, which allowed Zhang Chulan to take advantage of the situation.

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Contact me when you have any news."

Lu Ci hung up the phone, rubbing his temples with a headache, and asked his eldest son, Lu Zhong, who was standing next to him, "Is there any news about that beast?"

"Yes, but I don't know how to tell you," Lü Zhong said, looking troubled.
