"Chu Lan, kid."
Wang Ai slowly tapped the cane in her hand and said in a persuasive tone:
"We, as your elders, don't mean to make things difficult for you. It's just that someone has to bear the consequences of the mistakes your grandfather made back then."
If you reveal the whereabouts of the 'Qi Body Source Flow' and entrust it to us, the reputable sects, for safekeeping, it can be considered an atonement for his sins.
We guarantee that you will not only descend the mountain safely, but from now on, in this world of extraordinary beings, with our four major families protecting you, no one will dare to harm you in the slightest.
These words sounded dignified, but in reality, they concealed malicious intent.
Zhang Chulan knew exactly what was going on. He chuckled and remained a bachelor to the end.
"Gentlemen, you don't need to go to such trouble."
I genuinely have no idea what 'Qi Body Source Flow' is. If I did, would I have waited until now?
He would have taken it out long ago to exchange for money and enjoy life.
He shrugged, his face bearing a roguish expression that said, "I'm a tough nut to crack, what can you do to me?"
"If you don't believe me, that's simple too."
He pointed to his head and laughed heartlessly:
"Just use your Lü family's Soul-Clearing Technique to investigate. I'll cooperate fully and won't resist. Then everything will be clear, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Ci and Wang Ai exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of ruthlessness in each other's eyes.
This kid is forcing them to take action.
A cold glint flashed in Lü Ci's eyes. He slammed his hand on the armrest, his voice as icy as the wind in the dead of winter, "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
He turned to a middle-aged man with a sinister face beside him and shouted, "Lü Gong, make your move!"
The young man in his twenties who was mentioned was none other than Lü Liang's older brother, Lü Gong.
Upon hearing this, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and he slowly walked up to Zhang Chulan.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was being held down by several skilled members of the Lü family but still looked indifferent, all the resentment he felt towards his younger brother Lü Liang was transformed into anger directed at Zhang Chulan.
"Kid, you asked for this."
Lü Gong's voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.
He extended his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together, and at the tip of his finger, a wisp of dark blue, seemingly entangled evil energy slowly condensed.
That chilling and eerie mental fluctuation instantly enveloped the entire room, making the air seem to drop several degrees.
The forbidden technique that the Lü family stole from Duanmu Ying, a technique capable of peering into souls and altering memories!
As Zhang Chulan watched the increasingly approaching, ominous blue light, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He still wore that nonchalant smile, but only he knew that the cold sweat on his back had already soaked through his clothes.
He's gambling.
They bet that someone would come to rescue him while he was on Longhu Mountain.
Just as Lü Gong's fingertips, wreathed in a deep blue aura, were about to touch Zhang Chulan's brow.
A sudden change occurs!
"boom--!"
A muffled, thunderous explosion did not come from the outside, but rather exploded directly inside Lü Gong's body!
Just as Lü Gong was about to unleash the Bright Soul Technique, he felt an overwhelming and domineering force that was impossible to resist rebound from Zhang Chulan's body without warning, instantly shattering all his defenses and raging wildly within his body!
At this moment, the Qi within his body completely spiraled out of control, exploding like a powder keg!
"puff--!"
As if struck by lightning, Lü Gong's body flew backward for more than ten meters, spraying a brilliant arc of blood along the way, before finally crashing heavily into the wall.
He slipped and fell, his veins were severed, and he was covered in blood. He fainted on the spot.
This sudden scene left everyone present horrified!
Lu Ci and Wang Ai jumped up from their chairs, their faces filled with disbelief and horror.
They were completely unaware of where this power came from!
It was as if... as if it appeared out of thin air!
Lu Ci roared, his aura exploding as he warily surveyed his surroundings.
The only response he received was a soft creak.
The two heavy mahogany doors of the building were slowly pushed open by a gentle yet irresistible force.
Moonlight streamed in from outside the door, casting a long, long shadow of a slender figure.
A handsome young man, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old and dressed in a simple Taoist robe, walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.
His steps were light and slow, but each step seemed to land on everyone's heart, instantly freezing the tense atmosphere in the room.
His face was expressionless, and his clear eyes were as calm as an ancient well, yet so deep that they seemed capable of swallowing the stars.
He simply stood there quietly, and it was as if he had become the center of this world.
The moment Zhang Chulan saw him appear, his eyes, which always held a hint of calculation and unease, burst forth with an unprecedented, overwhelming joy, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw!
All fear, all pretense, vanished in that moment.
He strained his throat, using all his strength, and shouted out the name that haunted his dreams.
"Young Master—!"
Chapter 166 A single palm strike sends the enemy flying, adding another layer of grudges.
"Zhang Yunyuan?! You're still alive?!"
When they saw the young face of the newcomer, which hadn't changed at all in decades, Lü Ci and Wang Ai were as shocked as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Especially Lü Ci, who stared intently at Zhang Yunyuan. In his cloudy old eyes, besides horror, there was an overwhelming resentment and murderous intent that had been suppressed for decades and had finally found an outlet.
Zhang Yunyuan ignored them.
His gaze merely swept casually over Lü Gong, who was covered in blood and convulsing like a dead dog on the ground, and a cold, sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
"The Soul-Clearing Technique? You treat this piece of junk stolen from Duanmu Ying as a treasure?"
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a knife, precisely piercing the Lü family's greatest sore spot.
"I'm curious, why doesn't your Lü family use the Ruyi Jin anymore?"
Could it be that this generation is full of useless idiots who have even lost the ability to make a living, thus cutting off the family's skills?
These words are piercing to the heart!
The lack of successors to the Ruyi Jin technique and the illegitimate origins of the Minghun technique are the two most secretive and shameful concerns of the Lü family over the past few decades.
Now, Zhang Yunyuan has so blatantly exposed this fact in front of the Wang family, which is tantamount to pressing the Lu family's face to the ground and rubbing it repeatedly with the sole of his shoe.
"you……!"
Lu Ci trembled with rage, his wrinkled old face turning a deep liver color. He pointed at Zhang Yunyuan, his voice sharp and distorted with extreme anger.
"I thought you had died in the Jia Shen Rebellion long ago!"
I never imagined you'd be like that monster Feng Baobao, decades have passed and you still look so young!
His shout completely confirmed Zhang Yunyuan's identity.
Although the younger generation of the Lü family around them did not recognize Zhang Yunyuan, the keywords "Jiashen Rebellion" and "ageless appearance" were enough for them to imagine a dramatic and earth-shattering event.
The eyes of everyone looking at Zhang Yunyuan were filled with shock and disbelief.
"They intercepted and killed the inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, acted perversely, and disregarded human life."
Zhang Yunyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a terrifying aura erupted from him, causing the air in the entire room to freeze.
"You dare call yourselves the righteous path?!"
This relentless questioning, like the last straw, completely broke the rationality of Lü Ci and Wang Ai.
"Zhang Yunyuan! You're asking for death!"
The two old monsters, whose mere stomp could shake the entire world, were utterly enraged at this moment.
Wang Ai slammed his dragon-patterned cane heavily on the ground, and the shadow behind him instantly twisted and expanded violently!
In an instant, a cold wind howled, and ghosts wailed!
A massive, ferocious ancient battle spirit, radiating overwhelming resentment, was forcibly summoned by him using the domineering method of binding spirits and commanding generals. It roared and pounced towards Zhang Yunyuan!
At the same time, Lü Ci roared and shook his arms, unleashing his domineering and unparalleled Ruyi Force without reservation!
The air around him seemed to be distorted by this force, turning into dozens of visible, high-speed rotating spirals of energy.
Like countless invisible blades, they came from all directions, blocking all of Zhang Yunyuan's escape routes and attacking him relentlessly!
In an instant, the entire building was filled with a mix of eerie winds and powerful energy, and a coexistence of killing intent and oppressive aura, as if it had transformed into a battlefield of carnage.
However, they were met with a thunderous attack from these two top masters, who were driven by rage.
Zhang Yunyuan simply snorted coldly.
He didn't even move his feet an inch; he simply raised his right hand and made a light, perceptible press in front of him.
There was no earth-shattering fanfare, nor any dazzling light and shadow.
Only a thin layer of Qi, seemingly containing the chaotic colors of the beginning of the universe, silently unfolded before him.
A strange scene happened.
Wang Ai's fierce battle spirit, the moment it rushed into the Qi barrier, its massive body was like an ice block thrown into a furnace.
It let out a piercing, silent scream, and was instantly swallowed and decomposed by the chaotic Dao Qi, disappearing into nothingness!
As for Lu Ci's dozens of Ruyi Force vortexes, which were powerful enough to tear apart steel, they were completely assimilated by that chaotic domain without even causing a ripple, as if they had never existed.
Just one move!
The combined attack of two top masters was so easily neutralized!
