Chapter 69 All-Out Attack on the Mountain
The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain has a history of nearly two thousand years, which is also the time that the Celestial Master's lineage has been passed down to this day.
It was founded by Zhang Daoling, the first Celestial Master, with the aim of opening up a path to heaven for Taoism, a way to "become an immortal".
As for the specifics, since Fu Xuan has not yet reached the heavens and cannot see what is happening outside of heaven and earth, he can only be certain of one thing—all the Celestial Masters of past generations are the guardians of this "secret to becoming an immortal," and are "pitiful people" imprisoned in the Celestial Master's Mansion.
This is why, in Taoist legends, those who can achieve immortality are often not the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, but other fellow disciples. However, it is also because of the existence of the "Celestial Master's Degree" that Taoists are more likely to become the best... even those who can reach the heavens!
"Speaking of which, if Zhang Chulan really chooses to join the Celestial Master's Mansion, it would be a good thing. Perhaps we could get a glimpse of the true nature of the 'Celestial Master's Degree' through his eyes..."
Of course, Fu Xuan was just thinking about it. He already had a smooth path to heaven, so why would he need the Heavenly Master's Pass? Besides, compared to this little benefit, it would be more advantageous to have Zhang Chulan follow him.
Soon, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Chulan entered the library, and the door closed. The two went up to the second floor and sat cross-legged on the futons.
"Master...as agreed, I have obtained the qualification to inherit the Celestial Master's position. Can you tell me now...the inside story of the Jia Shen Rebellion!"
"..."
Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him: "Chu Lan, what do you think defines a Celestial Master?"
"what?"
"Who is the most skilled fighter on Mount Longhu? Or the one most adept at political maneuvering? Or perhaps the one most beloved by the disciples?"
"I have no idea……"
Zhang Chulan shook his head.
"Let me tell you, only those who are recognized by the previous Celestial Master are considered Celestial Masters. This recognition is not just lip service or some fancy ceremony; it means truly receiving the secret teachings passed down by the previous Celestial Master..."
"Celestial Master's Salvation!"
With that, Zhang Zhiwei stood up, his body shimmering with golden light, his aura soaring to the heavens: "Zhang Chulan, today I will pass on the Heavenly Master's Seal to you, and from this day forward you will officially become my successor!"
He raised his hand.
Seeing the advisor suddenly become serious, and feeling the same pressure he had only experienced from the boss, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard...
"Gulp..."
"Um, sir, please don't be in such a hurry..."
"Let's take it slow... okay?"
……
……
at the same time.
Seeing the golden light emanating from the second floor of the library in the distance, Lü Liang's eyes flickered: "It's your turn..."
He patted Hu Jie beside him.
"Qi...give me Qi..."
It immediately rushed out of the woods and onto the mountain path.
"Who goes there?!"
Two Taoist priests patrolling nearby were taken aback when they saw the figure rushing towards them. Seeing that the newcomer was hostile, they began to cast the "Golden Light Spell".
But as soon as the light appeared, the two were tackled to the ground, and a hideous, twisted face came into view. It opened its mouth and began to tear at the golden light like a wild beast.
"It's an enemy attack—!"
Because they were prepared, the nearby Taoist priests immediately heard the commotion and quickly notified the company, the Lu family, and the Feng family who were on standby, and they came to their aid.
In no time, the group assembled and easily subdued the frenzied Hu Jie, then began searching the surrounding area...
"That's not right..."
"Is he alone?"
At this moment, commotion suddenly arose in the woods surrounding the Celestial Master's Mansion, as if a large group of people were approaching from all directions. Everyone reacted immediately...
It's a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
While they were subduing Hu Jie, over a hundred members of the Quanxing gang had already crept up the mountain and approached the Celestial Master's Mansion. The sounds of fighting followed, and several footsteps approached.
"Oh, everyone's here?"
Before long, more than twenty figures emerged from the forest, all of them renowned members of the Quanxing Sect. Leading them were top experts of the Quanxing Sect: "Root of Calamity" Shen Chong, "Intestinal Poison" Dou Mei, and "Thunder Smoke Cannon" Gao Ning.
Lu Jin's eyes narrowed: "Four arrogant men... how come there are only three?"
Shen Chong smiled and said, "Sorry, Xia He has disappeared somewhere, but it doesn't matter. She's still a bit too much for you guys. Let us handle it."
"Gentlemen, shall we begin?"
Dou Mei and Gao Ning stepped forward.
A burst of red light surged forth.
Enveloping everyone inside!
"It's the Twelve Labors Formation!"
In an instant, everyone in the company, the Lu family, and the Feng family felt a surge of irritability, followed by a drop in mood. Two completely opposite emotions, one positive and one negative, were pulling at each other in their minds, causing them immense headaches.
This is Dou Mei and Gao Ning's strongest combined attack, which can affect the "Twelve Meridians" of those within the formation. It can not only weaken the opponent, but also cause them to collapse over time. If someone gets caught up in a certain emotion and cannot extricate themselves, the corresponding internal organs will also be damaged...
These are the "Twelve Labors"!
"Let me deal with them!"
Knowing how troublesome these two were, Lu Jin shouted, "The more people there are in front of this formation, the more trouble we'll cause! Besides, they couldn't have only sent these three experts. The Taoists from Longhu Mountain alone can't hold them off. You all need to go and provide support!"
"Mr. Lu, please be careful!"
Without much hesitation, the others immediately dispersed as previously arranged, while Lu Jin activated "Reverse Life" and used "Heavenly Talisman" to fight the three of them.
"Senior, what's our next move?"
After getting away from everyone else, Feng Zhenghao connected with Fu Xuan in his mind.
"You proceed with the original plan to help the Celestial Master's Mansion deal with the Quanxing Sect. Ignore the experts, just catch the small fry. Also, keep an eye on the situation in Tian Jinzhong's room."
"Understood!"
Then, Fu Xuan contacted Feng Tianyang and the others who were waiting at the foot of the mountain: "The Quanxing has moved. You all go up the mountain immediately, hide well, and wait for Zhang Zhiwei to show up."
"Okay!"
After making the arrangements, Fu Xuan set off, his figure flashing several times before he arrived at the top of Longhu Mountain. He sat down cross-legged and looked down at everything below.
"What a show..."
"Longhu Mountain probably hasn't been this 'lively' in a long time~"
Then, with a thought, he sensed a Qi pill in the mountain. He wanted to see what choice it would make in the face of such a crisis.
……
……
Just when chaos had broken out on the mountain.
"Junior Uncle, are they really coming?"
Zhang Mingdao hid in the shadows, watching Zhang Lingyu walk alone on the secluded mountain path, and transmitted his voice through Qi.
"If their goal is 'unique skills,' they will definitely come. If not, it means they have other plans, and we should quickly notify the others," Zhang Lingyu responded.
Their current goal is simple: to use the "Heavenly Talisman" to lure the Quanxing masters, capture them, and then interrogate them about their purpose in attacking the mountain.
Given Zhang Lingyu's demonstrated cultivation level, those who come to seize the treasure must be extraordinary individuals. They have also prepared a backup plan, which, if executed properly, can weaken the strength of the Quanxing sect.
soon……
Zhang Lingyu stopped in her tracks: "Did you notice?"
"Um."
Zhang Mingdao nodded, his eyes flickering.
next moment……
"Tsk tsk tsk! Sneaking out alone so late at night, are you secretly practicing your newly acquired treasured martial arts technique?"
A mocking voice rang out.
It slipped into their ears.
