The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 175 Tianmao Zhenren
At this moment, the leaders of Maoshan and Quanzhen sects have arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain.

Their car was parked at the foot of the mountain.

After getting off the vehicle, the two sect leaders each led their disciples.

"Master Tianmao, I never expected to meet you here today."

The leader of the Quanzhen School, Qing Yuanzi, and the leader of the Maoshan School, Tianmao Zhenren, greeted each other.

Master Tianmao gave a wry smile.

"True Lord Qingyuan, it seems I'm not the only one having bad luck today."

When the True Lord of Maoshan received this news, he was completely stunned.

His own disciple, having been bribed by the Buddhist sect, attempted to take action against the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master, but failed and was caught on the spot.

As his mentor, he also bears responsibility.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one in this situation; Master Qingyuan from the Quanzhen School was also in trouble with him.

Having an extra companion instantly made this Master Tianmao feel much better.

This is just like being called to the teacher's office when you were in school. You're naturally nervous when you're called in alone, but if you have a companion, the pressure is instantly reduced.

Qing Yuanzi thought so too.

Seeing that Master Tianmao had come here with him, he felt much less stressed.

It can be considered as finding joy in suffering.

On their way here, both of them gave their disciples a thorough dressing-down.

They never expected that these two rebellious disciples would dare to accept bribes from the Buddhist community.

Now that Longhu Mountain has caught them red-handed, even they can't protect them anymore.

Moreover, they had already decided on their way here that they had no intention of protecting their two apprentices at all.

In this situation, we have no choice but to give up.

If we don't give up, they will also be implicated.

The leaders of the Quanzhen and Maoshan sects ascended Longhu Mountain and arrived at the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Two gatekeepers outside the Celestial Master's Mansion blocked their way.

The two sect leaders then stated their purpose.

Then the two gatekeeper disciples said, "Please wait here for a moment, esteemed sect leaders, while we go and inform them."

The two leaders of Maoshan Quanzhen Sect looked rather grim. In the past, when they came to the Celestial Master's Mansion at Longhu Mountain to see Celestial Master Xuanzhen, they could go straight in. But today they were stopped, which meant they had been instructed to do so beforehand.

However, they didn't have much of a temper, since they were in the wrong and Xuanzhen was no longer in charge of Longhu Mountain.

The Celestial Master's Mansion is currently under the temporary control of Zhang Tianlu.

It's normal for Zhang Tianlu to want to teach them a lesson.

Two gatekeeper disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion came to inform the Ancestral Celestial Master and the Mysterious Celestial Master of the news.

After listening, Xuanzhen looked at the Celestial Master.

"Ancestor, people from Maoshan and Quanzhen have arrived. Should we let them in?"

Zhang Tianlu remained calm and said, "Let them stand outside for an hour first."

When a disciple makes a mistake, the master also bears responsibility.

How do these two masters usually discipline their disciples?
Since they couldn't control him, they decided to punish their master as well.

This will serve as a lesson for them today.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master did not say anything upon hearing this.

We will follow the ancestor's orders.

Zhang Tianlu didn't actually do anything wrong.

Taoist disciples cultivate magical arts and supernatural powers precisely because they possess extraordinary abilities that elevate them above ordinary people, thus requiring them to be even more self-disciplined.

If one cannot control oneself, one will bring disaster to the country and its people, and be no different from a demon.

Just like Shi Jian and that senior disciple of Quanzhen.

If one's will is not firm, one might dare to accept bribes from the Buddhist community today, and tomorrow one might dare to accept bribes from demons.

Over time, it's not impossible for them to become complicit with demons and monsters.

The villains in TV series and movies are not born villains; they all gradually become evil and corrupted by darkness.

Since the people of Maoshan and Quanzhen cannot discipline their disciples, let's teach them a lesson so that they will remember this day and be able to better control their disciples when they return.

Quanzhen Qingyuanzi and Maoshan Tianmao Zhenren stood outside for a full hour.

Their faces also showed helplessness.

They had already anticipated this on their way here. This trip to the Celestial Master's Mansion at Longhu Mountain would probably not go smoothly.

I never expected to be turned away before I even got inside.

But they didn't dare say anything and just stood there obediently.

An hour later, Zhang Tianlu had two gatekeepers lead them in.

After entering the Celestial Master's Mansion, Qing Yuanzi and Tianmao Zhenren greeted Xuanzhen Celestial Master.

Because these three are all leaders of their respective sects, and they are all of the same level according to seniority.

Therefore, there is no need for them to pay their respects to each other; a simple greeting is sufficient. However, they still need to pay their respects to Zhang Tianlu.

After all, Zhang Tianlu's seniority was many levels higher than theirs.

According to their seniority, they should perform a grand ceremony when they see Zhang Tianlu.

After paying homage to the Celestial Master, Zhang Tianlu kept his eyes closed.

They were not offered seats, but simply made to stand.

The two sect leaders could only stand.

After a while, Zhang Tianlu spoke up, instructing Xuanzhen to go inside the Demon Subduing Hall and bring out Shi Jian and the Quanzhen disciples.

Xuanzhen nodded.

I personally went to the Demon Subduing Hall.

He brought the person back a dozen minutes later.

I was locked up in the Demon Subduing Hall of Longhu Mountain for one night.

Shi Jian and his gang were disheveled and covered in wounds.

Clearly, life inside the Demon-Subduing Hall was not easy; the demons and monsters there certainly gave them a hard time.

These guys are quite skilled at holding on this long.

After Master Xuanzhen brought them over, the leaders of the two sects looked at their own group of useless disciples.

Qing Yuanzi and Tianmao Zhenren were also enraged.

At this moment, Zhang Tianlu spoke up.

"These are your own men. I'm only responsible for capturing them. How you deal with them is up to you."

Shi Jian and the senior disciple of Quanzhen were, after all, from Maoshan and Quanzhen respectively.

Zhang Tianlu didn't kill them outright, which was a way of giving face to Maoshan and Quanzhen.

Otherwise, killing Maoshan Quanzhen would be acceptable, but it would be a loss of face.

So entrusting the matter to them to handle is already giving them a lot of face.

Qing Yuanzi and Tianmao Zhenren also understood this principle.

After thanking the Celestial Master, they turned to look at Shi Jian and his group.

At this moment, Shi Jian was no longer the spirited man he had been before.

With his master, the True Immortal, right in front of him, Shi Jian wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground; he couldn't even lift his head.

Tianmao Zhenren and Qingyuanzi both gave a direct rebuke.

"You unfilial disciple, kneel down before me!"

Upon hearing this rebuke, Shi Jian and the others were so frightened that their legs went weak and they immediately knelt down.

They were trembling after they knelt down.

They are not afraid of others at all.

The person I fear most in this life is my own teacher.

After all, the kindness of their teachers is as heavy as a mountain, and they were all raised by their respective sect leaders.

This master-disciple relationship is just like that of a father and son.

They have an innate reverence for their respective masters.

They also knew that being caught doing this would implicate their master.

This made them even more ashamed.

Master Tianmao looked at Shi Jian and the group of Maoshan disciples kneeling before him.

He is very disappointed with his friend.

He slapped Time across the face, sending him flying.

"You brat, how have I been teaching you? Are you that short of money?"
