Chapter 158: The Former Leader

Yue Hanzhang's speed of progress in martial arts also shocked Luo Zhaoqing.

But what really forced him to maintain this "calm state" was the fact that the ancient saints had failed one after another.

He couldn't understand why his previous failure was due to his insufficient understanding of this person. Even after he had crossed the line between life and death several times, he was still unable to do anything to such a top-notch genius warrior.

So when Yue Hanzhang showed such an obviously fatal defeat, he was able to kill two people in a row.

Even if you are unwilling to reflect on this.

But Luo Zhaoqing felt that he should look for his own problems.

Since when did it become so difficult for the Holy Church to gather so much power together to kill an ordinary martial arts practitioner?!
One after another, there were saints who were supposed to be Taoist monks but paid the final death because of it.

Luo Zhaoqing could already feel that he and others seemed to be being led by an invisible force.

A kind of "helplessness" that makes you have to go all the way after paying so much.

But until this moment, Luo Zhaoqing didn't think about the fact that Yue Hanzhang was setting a bait to fish.

The first thing that came to his mind was the figure of Tian Shouli, the patrol officer on the long street yesterday.

"The Tian family..."

When he thought of this, a kind of resentment made Luo Zhaoqing whisper these words.

Even though this murmur seemed so incoherent, when the sound echoed in the huge carriage, everyone looked enlightened as if they understood the "mastermind" behind the scenes.

It was during this series of sudden realizations that someone spoke in a cold voice.

“The Tian family is indeed hateful, but it is very difficult to defeat them.

But as the bait held out by the Tian family, the opportunity to get rid of Yue Hanzhang is becoming increasingly rare and scarce, but it is still a conceivable goal.

Moreover, at this moment, if Yue Hanzhang could be killed, it would also be a setback to the Tian family's conspiracy.

Therefore, the next time, we must let the most confident person come!"

When this person spoke again, with just a few words, he closely linked the relationship between the mastermind behind the scenes and the evildoer on the stage.

It is difficult to directly defeat the Tian family.

But he defeated the Tian family by killing Yue Hanzhang.

It even makes what they are doing at this moment have more important meaning.

This is no longer a waste in the face of death, nor is it a diversion of hatred towards Qin Linhui.

This is truly a very important part in the implementation of the great cause of Praise the Holy Religion!
As the man finished speaking, Luo Zhaoqing, who didn't know whether he was forced to remain calm or forced to be autistic, suddenly changed his expression.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the crowd with great surprise, at the source of the originally cold voice, the cold and beautiful woman whose temperament was like a glacier in the deep sea, and even more "graceful".

Luo Zhaoqing rarely lowered his head to indicate, and even used honorifics when he spoke.

"If you are willing to take charge of the implementation of this great cause of the Holy Church, it would be great. You are the elder of the Luo family, and you have served as the leader of a branch of the Holy Church in a state.

In terms of high moral character and prestige, you are the one who deserves it.”

Upon hearing this, the woman, who was as cold as an iceberg, glanced at Luo Zhaoqing in an "old-fashioned" way.

For a long time before this, she stood among the crowd, not conspicuous, and was always the most silent and inconspicuous one.

But as she opened her mouth just now, a kind of invisible ethereal aura emerged from her, making her almost instantly become a conspicuous presence that could not be ignored in the crowd.

"I have more important things to do. The True Dragon lineage of the former Tiandu Taoist Temple is about to complete the martial arts cultivation path on my body.

If it succeeds, it will be no less than the path that Zhonghe had planned to take earlier.

If things hadn't turned out the way they are today, why would I have to worry about it?"

When he heard this, even Luo Zhaoqing half lowered his head, a look of shame showing on his face.

"It is the younger generation who are ignorant and fail to do things well."

At this moment, the cold and beautiful woman simply ignored Luo Zhaoqing's statement and turned her gaze to another corner of the crowd.

As her eyes swept across her, every figure fell into the cold and beautiful woman's sight, and the rise and fall of their shoulders with each breath touched her magnificent memory.

And that living body constantly brings a sense of strangeness while being familiar.

Between the two phases.

The cold and beautiful woman's final gaze fell.

"Zuo Shangjun?"

When he heard the cold and beautiful woman's voice, the person in the corner opened his eyes with a slightly sad expression.

The previous changes in the cultivators' moods, such as depression and excitement, seemed to have failed to disturb Zuo Shangjun.

But at this moment, the cold and beautiful woman's words forced him to respond.

"Shang Jun has met the old leader."

Hearing this, the cold and beautiful woman smiled, which was rare, but made her look even more "graceful".

"Don't call me old leader anymore. The past is all in the past. Besides, calling me old is making me old.

But if you are still willing to listen to my orders, how about you join the battle this time?" Hearing this, Zuo Shangjun's face became even more bitter.

"Like you, I also have a lineage of cultivation from Tiandu Daoyuan, and now is also the time to integrate and sort out the critical points. This..."

The cold and beautiful woman nodded.

"I remember it was the 'Three Transformations and Eighty-One Return to the Truth Palm', right? It brought out three unpredictable changes in each palm of the three-step boxing stance of the Nine Palace Steps, eighty-one real and fake moves, and was once called the culmination of a complex martial arts technique!

But precisely because of this, you have to go into battle. This... Yue Hanzhang's talent in martial arts is monstrous, and is confined to the ordinary Nine Palaces and Seven Stars. You can't gain an advantage by fighting him. If you are not careful, you may be easily taken advantage of by him.

Moreover, even including the most crucial few strikes that killed Zhong He at his hands before, what really made him successful were the omissions and shortcomings of the ancient martial arts of our Holy Sect.

This happened once or twice, and it can be said that he has a sharp mind in martial arts.

The same thing happened three or four times. It can only be said that he was already prepared in terms of Holy Church martial arts.

It was hard to guess where the preparation came from before, but now it seems that it was probably the Tian family who supported him secretly!

Therefore, only someone like you, with endless and continuous changes in martial arts, and outside the path of the Holy Religion, can perhaps make his overly sensitive ability to respond unaffected.

Furthermore, when facing him, it is easy to lose control of the mind.

You'd better take a few shots of brain fluid martial arts potion before going on stage, and use other things to occupy your mind first, which is better than being influenced by others."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shijin in the corner had already obediently opened the safe and took out the dark blue potion one bottle at a time.

Zuo Shangjun's expression changed again and again as the cold and beautiful woman spoke.

"So... it has to be me..."

The cold and beautiful woman nodded.

“I’ve said before, we have to let the most confident person come.

It's you, that's you!
Zuo Shangjun, could it be that your death once before has made you lose all your courage? !

Besides, I remember that you are not alone?

Your daughter married into a branch of the Liu family and is now a grandmother.

Your son, yes, don't look at me like that. I knew you had a son back then. He is still hiding his identity and serving in the Zhenyuan Army, right?

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think more about them."

In the huge carriage, there was no other moment that made people feel colder than when the cold and beautiful woman's voice fell.

As a result, Luo Zhaoqing's eyes also kept twitching.

At this moment, he was looking at the cold and beautiful woman of about eighteen or nineteen who was speaking. Her expression and face seemed to completely overlap with the vicious leader in his young memory.

That was his childhood nightmare.

It was an existence that he was somewhat afraid of until now!

These cold and threatening words were like a fatal blow, nailing Zuo Shangjun to the spot.

The bloody threat is more powerful than any persuasion based on facts and reason.

The old leader is worthy of being the old leader. He is still as vicious and cruel as he was back then, and he knows people's hearts well.

So he had to lower his head with difficulty in order to "think more about them."

"Yes, Shang Jun, I will obey your orders."

And at the same place, the cold and beautiful woman's voice was still ringing.

"Don't be like that. Think about the bright side. You should know my vision. I think you are the most suitable person to fight Yue Hanzhang, which means that in the entire carriage, including me, you have the greatest chance of winning!

If you really win, this will be the first achievement of our resurrected saints! From now on, the resources of the Holy Church will also be tilted towards you!"

When he heard this, even Zuo Shangjun's expression eased a little.

But before Zuo Shangjun's extremely sad expression could completely relax.

The cold and beautiful woman's voice continued to sound.

“Of course, if you are not strong enough, anything can happen in a martial arts fight. You should know what to do at that time.

If even you can't gain the upper hand over him, then we have to realize that in terms of pure martial arts, it will be difficult for anyone to gain the slightest advantage.

But in the ring, in the martial arts fight, the real advantage is not limited to the martial arts level.

If possible, you can exchange injuries for injuries! Even, exchange your life for injuries!
If there is no advantage, we will create one!
This is a public fight. The maximum delay he can have is one hour. He has no right to refuse a fight!"

Looking at Zuo Shangjun's face which was constantly surging with various emotions, when she spoke again, the cold and beautiful woman's voice really seemed to be floating in the depths of the dark sea glacier.

Cold and inhuman.

"If you are seriously injured, the Holy Church will take care of you in your old age, and even find a way to help you walk the forbidden path!
If you unfortunately die, all your descendants will be taken care of by the Holy Church. If they want to join the Holy Church, there will be high positions waiting for them. If they want to continue to remain anonymous, the Holy Church can also secretly watch over them and clear the way for them.

But if... then don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship..."

In the extreme coldness, there seemed to be a smell of blood.

"Zuo Shangjun - I will obey the leader's orders!"
