Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 818 An Upset
"Wang lost just like that?"

"She defeated the Tang Clan and Wudang in succession. Bi Lian's strength seems to be much stronger than I imagined."

"As expected, there is still a source of Qi!"

The battle was so fierce that it naturally alarmed everyone, and there was a lot of discussion about it.

But to everyone's surprise, the most exciting part was yet to come.

Feng Shayan was ordered by Feng Zhenghao to lose to Feng Baobao without a fight. This was normal; although Feng Zhenghao didn't know Feng Baobao's true strength, he knew she was there on behalf of the company to protect Zhang Chulan.

Feng Zhenghao, a businessman and a newly promoted member of the Ten Elders, naturally chose to protect Feng Baobao because he had high hopes for Zhang Chulan. However, he seemed to be a bit too "business-minded," treating everyone, including his family, his daughter, his son, and even himself, as bargaining chips that could be traded or used to his advantage.

He first caused Feng Shayan to lose without a fight, and then knelt before Wang Ai in the clean room, indicating that the Feng family would follow the Wang family's lead. Although Feng Xingtong was defeated by Deng Youfu, Deng Youfu also suffered a great loss. Moreover, the complete version of the Spirit Binding and Commanding technique was indeed quite powerful, directly taking a large chunk out of Liu Kunsheng's soul.

Wang Bing's advancement also revealed that the Wang family could summon spirits and command generals, so Feng Zhenghao naturally had to go and find out the truth. Unexpectedly, after getting the information, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Wang Ai could obviously see that Feng Zhenghao was hiding something, not to mention Wang Ai, even the brain-dead Wang Bing could see it.

However, the Feng family is almost the richest family in Tianjin, and Wang Ai is very envious of their money.

He Songling once taught the entire community of extraordinary people a lesson: a bunch of bumpkins who fight and brawl every day will never develop; only economic development is the true path to progress.

The subsequent rise of the Reverse Life Group has been a testament to this.

Many people want to imitate him, but unfortunately, doing business requires both brains and timing. If He Songling hadn't traveled through time and happened to be caught up in a world war, selling antibiotics, sulfonamides, and weapons at an explosive rate, he wouldn't have been able to succeed.

This is especially true of these muscle-bound oddballs.

Many family members tried to emulate He Songling's path, but the best outcome for any of them was merely relying on their local influence to engage in the sand and gravel trade.

Making money is certainly lucrative, but they haven't stepped out of their comfort zone. They still rely on their family's influence to make a living locally. To be honest, these big families and powerful factions could earn just as much money doing other things.

It's as if it never really developed.

Until Feng Zhenghao suddenly rose to prominence.

For many years, the community of extraordinary individuals has not seen anyone so skilled in business.

Feng Zhenghao started his own business in 84. After making money in the south, he returned to his hometown of Tianjin to invest and start businesses. Today, Tianxia Group is a leading enterprise in the local area, involved in multiple industries such as real estate, investment, transportation, and food.

At the time, veterans in the industry exclaimed, "He Songling has been reborn!"

Wang Ai was very envious of Feng Zhenghao's money.

Even if Feng Zhenghao had chosen such a humble approach, or even if he had taken a more forceful stance, as long as he could offer money and resources in exchange, the Wang family would still return the complete Book of Spirit Binding to the Feng family.

What era are we living in? Things are so different now. Especially since He Songling once told these strange people that only worldly money and power can truly defeat this group that worships fighting and brawling.

What would the Wang family dare to do to the Feng family? Feng Zhenghao's wealth is not much less than that of Wang Ye's father. He pays more than 100 million in taxes every day. If we were to use the same methods as when dealing with the previous successors of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, they could be killed, crippled, disappeared, or kidnapped. Then the country would let them know what it means to fight terrorism with just coordinates.

Only old fogies like Ma Benzai and Zhang Huaiyi, who don't know how to keep up with the times, still like to hide in the village, have no power, and no one will even know if they die.

And then, we arrived at...

"what?"

"Zhang Lingyu lost?"

"How could Zhang Lingyu lose?" "Ling Songhe? Who's that? Never heard of him?"

"They came with the Lu family, and I heard they might be from Trinity University."

"Really? No wonder."

This is the biggest upset of the entire Luotian Grand Ceremony.

Due to the changing times, although the supernatural beings occasionally interacted, they no longer engaged in life-or-death duels as they did during the Republican era.

Even so, the strength of some people is still widely acknowledged, including Zhang Lingyu, a high-ranking priest of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Although the title "High Priest" has existed since ancient times, referring to someone with profound knowledge and skill, in Taoism it's not just a casual term. It refers to the person who sits in the very center during a ritual.

In Taoism, the High Priest is the title of the officiant in Taoist rituals. Together with the Chief Lecturer and the Supervisor of the Ritual, they are known as the "Three Masters," who jointly preside over the rituals. The High Priest is the head of the ritual hall, maintaining a pure mind and body, expounding the teachings, and performing the rites according to the altar. They preside over all matters, large and small, including presenting memorials to the emperor and handling all court affairs. They must adhere to the scriptures and esoteric rules, maintaining proper decorum and piety, and must not be frivolous or impetuous. They must be solemn and reverent before the Buddha image and must not violate these rules.

Even nowadays, you need to be able to independently preside over a religious ceremony to be considered a "high priest".

In reality, Zhang Lingyu's appearance, demeanor, and actions were exactly the same as the requirements for a "high-ranking official" as printed in the textbook.

This person is basically recognized as the number one young person under the age of thirty, apart from Trinity University.

Not to mention this is Longhushan's home ground, their own territory.

In no time, the name "Ling Songhe" spread throughout all those who participated in the Luotian Grand Ritual at Longhu Mountain.

"Who are you talking about?"

Lu Ci and Wang Ai stood up at the same time. Lu Ci stared intently at the messenger with his one eye. "Say it again, what is the name of the person who defeated Zhang Lingyu?"

Wang Ai, standing nearby, tried to calm him down: "Old Lü, don't get agitated, maybe..."

"Maybe my ass!" Lu Ci was unusually blunt with his best friend. "Remember when Zhang Chulan came to see us? That thing on his head." Lu Ci's blind eye was practically bulging out of its socket, and his voice was like that of a demon from the depths of hell: "He said it was given to him by the Lu family!"

“This…” Wang Ai looked like someone who had been genuinely frightened by a ghost story, her face turning pale.

Able to use a Qi-based human form, possessing intelligence and a wicked sense of humor, this person is named Ling Songhe. Wang Ai recalled that Qi-based Zhang Chulan from back then, and that lively glance he gave him.

"Bore!"

Wang Ai's steps were unsteady, and she plopped down on a chair, causing it to collapse.

"Wang Bing, go, go find Wang Bing!" Wang Ai didn't care about his image at all and hurriedly called for help.

"The old man and the young master are still alive..."

"No matter where he is, bring him here!" Wang Ai roared. "Don't worry about whether he wants to or not, knock him out and tie him up as soon as you see him! Hurry!!"

There's nothing we can do about it. Judging from this order, Wang Bing's opponent tomorrow will be Ling Songhe. Wang Ai is afraid that her precious great-grandson will die.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiwei's face twitched: "Old Lu, tell me honestly, who did you bring!"
