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

"Are you aware of what happened today?"

"I understand."

"If that's the case... then what are the specific conditions for your cooperation with them?"

The question was directed at the abbot of Baiyun Temple, but Jiang Mo's gaze shifted to several of the company's directors and regional managers.

Xu San and Xu Si weren't there, nor was the fat man they'd mentioned. Jiang Mo recalled his conversation with the company that morning, pondering for a moment: Had the other side changed their minds? Or were they different factions making different decisions?

The abbot of Baiyun Temple suddenly felt an immense pressure bearing down on him. He dared not conceal anything and confessed frankly:

"The company allows us to study the scriptures of extraordinary skills. For the sake of maintaining order in the jurisdiction, the scriptures must be handed over to them for safekeeping."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Mo looked at the board members.

"Yes, Senior Jiang, we have reached an agreement with the fellow Daoists of Quanzhen. Everything is ready, and we are just waiting for you to start the handover ceremony of the extraordinary skill."

Huang Boren smiled faintly, his words were especially respectful, and the more people knew about the young man's background, the more surprised they were, and he was no exception.

“Well done, everything is ready. I understand your concerns about security, and I also understand the needs of the various Quanzhen sects.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a sense of foreboding.

Jiang Mo's voice was soft, yet it rang clearly in everyone's ears:

"Leaving aside whether you have the ability to safeguard it, I remember that the company's original intention was... to make sure that I do not allow Quanzhen disciples to enter the mountains to practice strange skills."

"Do you all really know about this?"

Chapter 298 No ability? Then destroy it.

"?"

The abbot of Baiyun Temple felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his passionate heart; his face stiffened, and he was speechless with frustration.

The worst fears have come true; they never disclosed the agreement between the company and Sany Doors.

Jiang Mo's words, spoken in front of everyone, stunned the elders and disciples of Quanzhen.

Is the company two-faced?!

"Reporting to senior... the company has not mentioned this matter to us."

Once he realized what was happening, Abbot Baiyun calmed his displeasure and turned to Huang Boren and the other directors to verify the information. His voice was slightly low.

"Chairman Huang, if you had this idea from the beginning, why didn't you inform us earlier? Or is there another reason behind it?"

Due to the solemnity of the occasion and the imminent handover ceremony of the extraordinary skills, he could not afford to break ties with the company inside the Trinity Gate. In any other place, the agreement reached between the two parties would have already been null and void.

"Master Xu, Senior Jiang, you may not know this, but Chairman Zhao, who discussed this matter with you before, has not yet been reinstated. Perhaps he acted too hastily, which led to a discrepancy between his proposed plan and the results of our board meeting. Please forgive him."

Huang Boren remained calm and spoke tactfully:

"He is him, and the company is the company. The decisions made by the board of directors will not be changed at any time. Master Xu, please continue to trust us."

"..."

The abbot of Baiyun Temple couldn't help but find it laughable, but he didn't expose him further.

This nonsense is so clumsy. Zhao Fangxu has served as chairman of Nadutong for decades. Even though he is currently suspended, can't he represent the company's thoughts? It's clearly utter rubbish.

At this moment, he felt like he had a thorn in his side, facing two choices.

One option is to continue cooperating with the company, but there's no way to guarantee that they will be able to learn the special techniques later.

Secondly, they could cooperate with the Sanyi Sect, bypassing the company's interference, and leave the unique skills within the Sanyi Sect, allowing their disciples to come and learn and inherit them privately.

What should we do?

Remembering what Jiang Mo had told him, he realized that disciples of the various Quanzhen sects had the right to inherit at any time, but the risks were uncontrollable, so the company's supervision was necessary. Otherwise, if a chain reaction was triggered, no one would be able to take responsibility, but no one could absolve themselves of all responsibility.

Moreover, his disciple was the great-granddaughter of Lu Jin of the Three Realms Sect. She belonged to the Quanzhen Sect and had close ties with the Three Realms Sect. Most importantly, the Lu family had raised this little girl to be strong and upright. If she were to achieve great success in her cultivation in the future, cultivating extraordinary techniques would be a natural progression...

In an instant, the abbot of Baiyun Temple was filled with countless thoughts. His slightly furrowed brows quietly relaxed, and he pondered:

"Let's stop talking about undue trust. The attacks happening around the world today keep me on my toes."

"The previous decision was not well thought out. The company is willing to help with safekeeping, and I and my fellow practitioners appreciate the company's kindness. After much consideration, I still think it is best to entrust the extraordinary skill to Senior Jiang for safekeeping."

Instantly.

The company's directors and regional managers were taken aback; the abbot's actions were unexpected.

The Quanzhen elders and disciples present breathed a sigh of relief and remained silent, seemingly supporting his decision without making a sound.

Ignoring the hesitant expressions and complex looks of the board members, the abbot of Baiyun Temple turned to Jiang Mo and said decisively:

"Senior, we dare not accept such extraordinary skills, for fear of causing trouble. We beg you to keep them safe for us. If any Quanzhen disciples admire them and come to study them in the future, we wonder if you could make an exception for us?"

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Chairman Liang, who was in a wheelchair, quickly offered some advice:

"Master Xu, your actions are so slow and cumbersome. You're troubling the members of the Sanyi Sect. Now everyone in the martial world knows that the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are right here. It's rather selfish of you to ask all the seniors to look after them."

"Moreover, many disciples of the Sanyi Sect are still traveling outside. This action is tantamount to bringing them unwarranted disaster. Or do you think the company is untrustworthy and unable to keep its promises...?"

"Why not maintain basic trust and discuss a safekeeping plan for the extraordinary skills together? This would minimize the risks, help you inherit the secret techniques, and avoid adding unnecessary trouble for the members of the San Yi Sect. It's a win-win-win situation. What do you think?"

The cooperative relationship between the two parties was already on the verge of collapse. Jiang Mo did not intervene in their conflict. He simply raised his hand slightly, and his true qi flowed. In an instant, he used a profound technique, and the scriptures stored on the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion floated above his palm.

"Since you have all come from afar for this extraordinary skill, I might as well explain things clearly."

Everyone was on edge, their eyes fixed on the eight scrolls that Jiang Mo was holding up. Each scroll was sealed by a silver-white barrier, isolating it from everything outside.

"I will not pass on this extraordinary skill to either of you, nor will I keep it. Rather than leave it in the world and cause people to yearn for it, it is better to destroy it."

"!!!" Everyone was stunned and extremely surprised.

An elder of the Quanzhen School was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly pleaded:

"Senior, you mustn't!! If you do this, what will become of us?!"

"The treasures of the Ziyang Immortal Abode have been destroyed, which gave rise to these eight techniques mixed with extreme human desires. Strictly speaking, they do not belong to your lineage, but the visit of the nine people of Jia Shen has indeed caused irreparable damage to Tongtian Valley."

Jiang Mo's eyes were like a deep pool under the moonlight, without the slightest ripple. He calmly said:

“I was willing to return it to the Quanzhen sects to make up for the loss of your lineage... As for what happened today, I regret to say that I have not seen any ability in you to protect it or your own lives.”

"Senior, please give us some time!!"

The abbot of Baiyun Temple was extremely anxious.

"there is no time."

"The number of heretical cultivators in various places is unknown. If you use the lives of your disciples, or the lives of ordinary people, to blackmail me in the future, will I give in or not? Will you give in or not?"

Jiang Mo was determined to destroy it.

He could no longer trust the power of the Quanzhen Sect and the company. The land was full of talented people, including many reclusive grandmasters. If they were determined to seize the extraordinary skills, they would be unable to stop them. Letting them go would open a floodgate for disaster.

The disciples and elders of Quanzhen were rendered speechless by the rebuttal. They had neither the courage to speak nor sufficient arguments to prove their ability, especially since the bloody lessons learned by the other five sects had occurred just a few hours earlier.

"Senior...please, allow us to pause a bit longer, we are sure we have a foolproof plan."

The abbot of Baiyun Temple had pale lips and was still making a last-ditch effort. He mumbled incoherently, unable to accept such a sudden change, as if the blood in his body was about to freeze.

"Senior, is the company so unworthy of your trust? You want to destroy it? I cannot understand it, and I find it utterly absurd. Do you know how regrettable that would be?"

Chairman Liang argued his case forcefully, becoming increasingly agitated as he spoke:

"It is clearly a rare treasure that can benefit everyone and cannot be judged or measured by common sense. The ability of the Double-Handed Healing Technique alone to cure all physical diseases can cover tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, enough to free countless patients trapped in the mire from the torment of illness."

“You stand tall, you see far, you live forever, you are untouched by the world, but can’t you think about ordinary people?”

"Millions of people die from illness every year, so the significance of the 'Double Perfect Hand' technique is absolutely profound and significant. If we can uncover its origins and mysteries, what a magnificent achievement we will make! What a place we will be in history!"

"Even if we can't do that, enabling some Qi cultivators to come into contact with, learn, and master this method can save many lives. As for the evil cultivators you mentioned, I acknowledge their threat and uncontrollability, but compared to the benefits that can reach more people, they are utterly insignificant!"

"Are you familiar with the 'train dilemma'? If I were the one making the decision, I would not hesitate to choose the side that saves more people, even if I am on the side with fewer people and am willing to be sacrificed."

Chairman Liang spoke somewhat inappropriately, his face turning red with embarrassment. What he said was his true feeling.

Huang Boren, who was standing next to him, patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and then added:

"Brother Liang, take a rest and let me say a few words. The senior has his reasons for having concerns. How could he not have thought of what you can think of?"

"The value of the Eight Extraordinary Skills is undeniable. Several of them can indirectly or directly extend lifespan by several times, or even ten times. But fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If you see the benefits, you must also see the drawbacks. If the Double Perfection Technique completely eradicates disease, the population will only increase. This may not be a good thing. Insufficient resources will increase the social burden and affect the stability of order."

"If one extraordinary skill is like this, how much better can other extraordinary skills be? What we three parties need to do most is to sit down and have a good talk to reach the optimal solution, rather than making a crude and simplistic decision that destroys the extraordinary skills and loses their immeasurable potential value."

The two men each presented their own version of events, employing both directness and tact, and their arguments were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, demonstrating a negotiation skill far superior to that of the Quanzhen disciples.

After they finished speaking, Jiang Mo's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said methodically:

"First of all, the healing effect of the red hand on the body that you mentioned cannot cover such a wide range. It is just a technique that uses Qi to repair the human body."

"Regardless of whether you have enough people who can learn it, even if you use the power of science and sophisticated equipment to achieve its effect, the consumption of Qi is still certain."

"Before you can utilize Qi, you must discover it, study it, and master it. The amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources required in this process is staggering."

"Human Qi is divided into innate and acquired. How many extraordinary people are willing to extract acquired Qi from you to heal millions of ordinary people? This is simply an unrealistic fantasy. The so-called benefits will ultimately only benefit a small number of people."

"Furthermore, the power of the Blue Hand can modify souls and rewrite memories. You can't control it, so the threat is even greater. Even someone with only a half-baked talent like Duanmu Ying, after seventy years of arduous training, can secretly control thousands of parasites. If the Double-Handed Technique really has an accident and leaks from the company, and is learned by a grandmaster of evil cultivation, assimilating the consciousness of tens of thousands of people, then the consequences will be beyond your expectations."

Chapter 299 No need for reason, let your fists do the talking.

Jiang Mo spoke at a measured pace, his words calm yet cutting into the hearts of the board members like a knife.

Their ideas were met with ruthless rejection, and the reasoning that shrouded their beautiful vision was torn to shreds.

Mr. Liang's body trembled slightly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead from nervousness.

At this moment, as the one refuting, he was unwilling to give up and was still thinking of ways to delay and devise a countermeasure. However, he also clearly realized that the other party wanted to destroy the strange technique, and he was afraid that they could not shake it with their words.

Chairman Liang stood frozen in place, while Cheng Nan, the director accompanying him, lost his composure and said in a cold voice, trying to appear tough:

"Senior... Your opinion is just one person's opinion, and it may not be entirely correct. I can agree with the risks and concerns you mentioned, but why do you think that the company and Quanzhen are incapable of protecting the extraordinary techniques? Those elusive evil cultivators are not as powerful as you say, and we are not as incompetent as you think."

"..."

Jiang Mo chuckled, his voice as calm as ever, and he didn't take the junior seriously.

"So-called great achievements and historical fame are not as important to me as a gentle breeze in the mountains."

His gaze swept over the expressions of the crowd, who dared not speak out but were filled with anger. Their eyes were red, and they hesitated to utter a word.

Jiang Mo remained unmoved and made the final decision:

“I’m going to destroy your amazing skills. There should be rules to follow. I’m telling you, you’re not good enough, and you don’t listen.”

"I don't want to be branded with a reputation for arrogance, nor will I use my seniority to oppress you. Today, here, you have one last chance."

"Prove it to me. I don't like listening to your flowery, twisted logic. This path won't work. Use your fists, your strength, and your determination to prove to me that you are qualified to acquire extraordinary skills."

"?!"

Everyone was terrified; judging from this, the Sanyi Sect was truly going to destroy the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

"What do you mean by this...?"

The abbot of Baiyun Temple suddenly turned pale; how could he dare to make a move at the Sanyi Gate?

The company's senior management remained silent. Things had escalated to this point and there was no turning back. Some sighed in disappointment, while others had shifty eyes.

“I have a general idea of ​​how many evil cultivators there are outside and how strong they are. With the cultivation levels of my junior disciples, they are more than capable of killing them.”

"But you are indeed not as good as those evil old monsters. I will not make things difficult for you. No matter how many people come today, there are no restrictions on your methods. I will choose a place for you. Everyone, give it your all. If you can touch the clothes of any of my junior disciples, then you are qualified. I will pass on the Eight Extraordinary Techniques to you and will not interfere further."

As Jiang Mo spoke, he looked around at Chengzhen, Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu, and Chang Qing, and asked with a smile, "Who among you will go and entertain these distinguished guests?"

"Thank you for your trouble, I'll do it."

Lu Jin volunteered, but his senior brothers were too old for him to do it, so they simply let him do it.

"Senior, your disciples are indeed powerful, but you are underestimating us too much..."

An elder of Baiyun Temple felt he had a chance to succeed and led several of his elite disciples to the front lines.

"Senior, is what you said true?"

Huang Boren pushed up his glasses. They had come prepared this time, with two temporary workers, eight permanent workers, and more than a dozen experts from Quanzhen. Although they dared not be so arrogant as to say they would win 100%, they were not going to be completely unable to even touch his clothes.

Even the two usually cautious district leaders, Hao Yi and Hua Feng, were tempted. Now, this was the only path they could choose, so they exchanged glances with the two temporary workers, Lao Meng and Wang Zhenqiu.
