Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

'Tap tap~~'

Footsteps echoed around them as the group entered the tall, deep cave known as the Tang Tomb.

Zhang Chulan felt as if he had returned to the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley. He calmed his mind and his eyes flickered slightly. If there were no surprises, this was the residence of the Tang Clan member who survived the original thirty-six people.

If it weren't for Brother Dan's help, I really don't know how much effort it would have taken to see him.

He couldn't help but feel excited. Could this survivor of the Tang Clan answer all the questions in his heart?
If not, how many answers can be given?
Zhang Chulan's thoughts were racing, and Lu Lin and Lu Linglong were in no better shape.

Their eyes met, and they nodded to each other, determined to get some clue about Wugensheng from this senior member of the Tang Clan.

However, they were not the only ones with this goal.

Mei Jinfeng listened to her own footsteps, feeling somewhat absent-minded.

Xia Liuqing looked aggrieved. Without even thinking, she knew that Jin Feng definitely wanted to become the sect leader.

He wanted to say that Wugensheng had disappeared for decades and was probably already ashes, but the words came out differently.

"Jin Feng, good people are always blessed. You don't need to worry too much. I believe that this time, you will definitely achieve a breakthrough."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Liuqing cursed herself inwardly.

However, seeing Mei Jinfeng's expression soften, the angry curses in his heart immediately subsided.

'I did this to comfort Jin Feng.'

He muttered to himself, his gaze drifting slightly, when he suddenly noticed that Ding Shian's eyes were very sharp.

His face radiated a clear and enlightened light that was so intense that it was impossible to look directly at him.

Xia Liuqing was startled. He had just been suppressed by Master Huaidan and thought that Ding Shian's mental state had been crushed, and that his life was ruined.

I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. You truly are two of the best in the world!

"Xiao Ding, that's how it is. People shouldn't always get stuck on trivial matters. You should know that wind, rain, thunder, and lightning are the power of heaven and earth. How can you and I, mere mortals, withstand them?"

Xia Liuqing's mindset was impeccable; in his heart, he had already regarded Zhang Huaidan as a celestial phenomenon and wouldn't dwell on it at all.

"Ah."

Ding Shian responded in a deep voice, his gaze fixed intently on the backs of Zhang Huaidan and the other two at the front.

His gaze was very strange, as if he were looking down at someone.

But for Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang, Ding Shian still had a promising future.

Compared to Master Huaidan, his strength and comprehension were worlds apart; such a gaze was simply arrogant and ignorant.

Xia Liuqing frowned. She thought Ding Shian had already overcome his inner turmoil, but now it seemed that things weren't so simple.

……

After walking several dozen meters, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Sect Leader, Master Zhang Wang."

A small commotion arose among the Tang Clan members. Tao Tao, standing in the crowd, exclaimed in surprise, "Tang Yao, Tang Yu!"

These two were clearly elite members of the Tang Clan's inner circle. They had disappeared recently, and Tao Tao had assumed that Tang Miaoxing or Zhang Wang had assigned them a secret mission.

The two nodded blankly.

Ma Long took a deep breath: "What are you doing here? It's been almost three years. I can only see you once a year at the Tang Clan's annual meeting. What are you doing?"

Tang Yao and Tang Yu glanced at Tang Miaoxing but remained silent.

In this situation, everyone felt that the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

As Zhang Chulan observed the two, a thought struck him. Most of the Tang Clan disciples who had previously demonstrated Tang Clan techniques to Brother Dan were not of the same surname.

Within the Tang Clan, the significance of those with different surnames is self-evident; they are considered members of the outer sect.

There are very few inner disciples with the surname Tang.

Since the Tang Clan is divided into inner and outer sects, the strength of the inner sect should not be so weak.

At this moment, through Tao Tao and Ma Long's reactions, he vaguely understood something.

It didn't require him to use up too many brain cells.

Soon, the group arrived at the end of the cave.

In a large open space, Tang Clan disciples stood in twos and threes.

These people were noticeably older than Tao Tao and the others, and their auras were quite solid, but each of them had a blank expression on their face.

Zhang Chulan's mind raced: 'These people are clearly a level above Tao Tao and the others. Is this the true power of the Tang Sect? What exactly are they doing?'

At the same time, the Tang Clan disciples who entered the Tang Tomb also let out a series of exclamations.

"Uncle Fulu!"

"Sister Ah Hong!"

"Old Hui!"

"You guys! What are you all doing here? I thought you were on some secret mission!"

Everyone was stunned. Tao Tao subconsciously looked at Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang: "Sect Leader, Master Zhang Wang, they..."

Tang Miaoxing waved his hand, silencing the noise of the crowd.

At this moment, the inner disciples of Tang Tomb parted in an orderly manner, and a short, thin, and hairless old man slowly walked over.

The moment this person appeared, Tao Tao and the others all gasped in shock.

A terrifying premonition inexplicably arose in my mind, as if I were facing the Grim Reaper who had walked out of hell.

Zhang Wang's gaze immediately became extremely complicated.

Tang Miaoxing, who was standing beside him, sighed softly and called out, "Junior Brother Xu Xin."

……

'Xu Xin, that's Xu Xin, the survivor from the Tang Clan among the thirty-six people from back then!'

The moment Zhang Chulan saw the frail old man, he had a guess in his heart, but Tang Miaoxing personally revealing his identity still shook his heart.

For a long time, the thirty-six people have been like dust in history, making people feel that they are ancient things that have passed away.

I never imagined that I would actually see living, breathing people today!

……

'Xu Xin.'

Lu Lin's expression was solemn. Having cultivated the top-tier technique of Reversing Life to the third level, he was far more perceptive than others in certain aspects.

When I saw Xu Xin, I felt a sense of relief, but I was also filled with fear.

It seems that this thin, bony old man, who looks like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, is death in the human world!
'If the intelligence is correct, then Xu Xin was imprisoned in the Tang Tomb when he was young. What kind of martial arts has he cultivated over the decades that gives me such a terrifying feeling!'

Lu Lin's heart raced.

This feeling was something he had never experienced even with Lu Jin.

...Ding Shian trembled slightly with excitement, something Lu Lin could feel, but he felt it even more deeply.

Yes, that's it!
In the Tang Clan today, the realm that even Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang have never touched is contained within this old man!

Ding Shian's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's.

In any case, Zhang Huaidan certainly cannot be compared to him in this respect!
As he wavered, Mei Jinfeng, who was beside him, exclaimed in a frenzy, "You, you are Xu Xin!"

The sound waves spread out, and everyone's expressions changed. Tang Miaoxing and the other person looked over.

Xia Liuqing quickly stepped forward and chuckled, "Jin Feng got a little excited. It's only natural. Don't take it to heart."

As the two spoke, the slightly awkward atmosphere eased.

Tang Miaoxing said softly, "Junior Brother Xu Xin, as I told you before, this is Master Huai Dan from the Celestial Master's Mansion."

Xu Xin looked over, his eyes clouded over, and behind that cloudiness lay a bottomless darkness that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhang Huaidan's eyes remained unchanged, as if he were just an ordinary old man.

Xu Xin spoke up: "With his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, the Celestial Master's Mansion truly lives up to its reputation as a prestigious sect, producing such a prodigy. It is truly enviable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wang said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Xu Xin, you must not be disrespectful to True Master Huai Dan!"

A person's character is beyond the judgment of others.

Moreover, Xu Xin's current identity is that of a sinner who committed a terrible crime back then.

Having spent decades in the Tang Tomb, Xu Xin, whose mind had become as calm and still as stagnant water, was still taken aback by Zhang Wang's words.

Zhang Wang knew that because of his betrayal in his youth, he always regarded himself as a disgrace to the Tang Clan.

But once the door is closed, it's perfectly normal to do whatever you want to yourself.

Why deliberately belittle him in front of outsiders?
This is not in line with Zhang Wang's style of doing things.

Even more strangely, Tang Miaoxing did not express any opinion, silently supporting what Zhang Wang said.

This is so strange!

His sincere praise turned out to be rude?
Xu Xin was greatly puzzled, but upon closer inspection, he immediately discovered something unbelievable.

Zhang Wang and Tang Miaoxing.

They subtly respected Zhang Huaidan, this mere child?
why?
Is it because his master is the Celestial Master?

Given their current status and humble demeanor, it would be more appropriate for the Old Master to personally intervene.

Xu Xin was deeply shaken: 'This is the only way. Both Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang are completely convinced of Zhang Huaidan's abilities and consider him to be above them!'

From this perspective, it can be explained why his praise was seen as disrespectful by the two men.

It's like a nephew patting his uncle on the shoulder and saying, "Uncle, you're quite handsome, you have a bright future ahead of you, I believe in you!"

However, the thought of this only made Xu Xin more confused. Although Tang Miaoxing had told him that this Master Huaidan was not to be underestimated and was a distinguished guest.

But how do we explain all of this right now?
To put it dramatically, even if this young man were a star descended from heaven, he wouldn't be able to make Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang so obedient and submissive!

Despite his confusion, Xu Xinren, being a seasoned veteran, knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things.

He was also flexible: "I have been in Tang Tomb for decades and am unaware of the changing times outside. I hope you will forgive me, Master."

While talking, Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang observed carefully. They didn't find anything wrong. The Tang Clan disciples who followed them in also didn't think much of it, but they were full of curiosity and a desire to explore his presence.

On the contrary, the elite inner disciples who were in seclusion within Tang Tomb showed clear astonishment and confusion in their eyes.

Xu Xin thought to himself, 'What exactly happened? It seems that not only Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang, but even the disciples of my Tang Clan are completely convinced by this young man.'

My eyes darted around and met those calm, serene eyes again, and I felt a deep, unfathomable abyss within them.

Zhang Huaidan said, "Elder, you flatter me."

Tang Miaoxing said in a low voice, "Back then, we claimed to have dealt with the disciples on the list of the Thirty-Six Thieves, but unfortunately, my master was soft-hearted for a moment. The real master also saw that Xu Xin is still alive in this world."

Xu Xin felt a chill run down his spine as the conversation turned to his own affairs.

Was Tang Miaoxing seeking the opinion of this Master Huaidan?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Tang Clan slowed their breathing and understood something.

Zhang Huaidan laughed and said, "The past is gone with the wind. I think the Wang family is quite skilled at using spirit control and command. This elder has wasted decades in the Tang Tomb. Perhaps he can go out and bask in the sun during the last period of his life."

Xu Xin's heart trembled violently. Was this all?
Can this Master Huai Dan really bring him back to the light of day with just one sentence?
Tang Miaoxing felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

This time, breaking the sect rules and bringing everyone to the Tang Tomb was all for the purpose of arranging for Xu Xin to bask in the sunlight again.

Among these, the approval of Master Huai Dan is of paramount importance.

The person is currently very understanding, and everything is developing in a positive direction.

Seeing Xu Xin standing there in a daze, Tang Miaoxing immediately called out, "Junior Brother Xu Xin, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank Master Huai Dan!"

Zhang Wang directly rebuked: "With this true man's words here, you'll face at least half the difficulties when you leave Tang Tomb."

Xu Xinyan's body trembled slightly.

Although he had not yet figured out Zhang Huaidan's specific background, he dared not be negligent: "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the True Man who has given me a second chance at life."

Zhang Huaidan said, "Now that the company is nominally in charge of the world of supernatural beings, we need to consider their attitude."

He glanced at Zhang Chulan as he spoke.

Tang Miaoxing chimed in, "Of course."

Zhang Chulan moved quickly, stepped forward, and said, "Uncle Xu Xin, Zhang Huaiyi is my grandfather."

Xu Xin's eyes trembled slightly, a complex light flashing across them.

He forced a smile: "Young man, you are indeed handsome."

Zhang Chulan's heart sank. He wasn't sure what the other party's attitude was towards his grandfather's sworn brother, so he took the initiative.

In retrospect, the word "young generation" undoubtedly represents the worst possible outcome.

This indicates that the other party is distancing themselves from him and no longer acknowledges what happened back then.

Zhang Chulan felt a mix of emotions, but his heart calmed down only when he saw Zhang Huaidan's image reflected in his eyes.

He didn't know why Xu Xin wanted to distance himself, but with Dan Ge here, everything was much simpler.

He shook his head, dialed a number, and looked at Tang Miaoxing: "This is such a big matter that I can't make the decision myself. Sect Leader Tang, why don't you talk to Chairman Zhao?"

Tang Miaoxing took the phone, feeling slightly embarrassed.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Fangxu said, "I fully understand the Tang Clan's situation back then. On one hand, there was the special circumstances, and on the other hand, there was the camaraderie among fellow disciples. It is admirable and admirable that they could make such a choice when caught in the middle!"

"Thank you for your understanding. So, how should we handle this now?"

"You don't need to ask me. I'm not qualified to give you advice. I'm just expressing my opinion on behalf of the company."

"As for how to arrange things for you, a disciple who hasn't shown up for decades, as long as it doesn't violate the law, it's an internal matter for the Tang Clan."

"As for your concern about your junior brother's information being leaked, that's easy to handle. Regardless of what he did back then, and regardless of whether your treatment of the thirty-six people was excessive, those matters ended back then. Today, I will not allow anyone to use these matters to stir up trouble again!"

"This attitude applies not only to your Tang Clan, but to everyone: whoever causes trouble, I'll deal with them!"

"Understood!" (End of Chapter)
