Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were alright, but when Zhang Huaidan arrived, even Gao Lian dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Nowadays, in the world of extraordinary people in Xia Kingdom, who doesn't know the name of this Master Huai Dan? Some even worry that no one from the Northeast has come to offer their congratulations, so they've come here to demand an explanation.
'Oh? Zhang Huaidan, whom Kun Sheng mentioned, has actually reached the level of a true master in this day and age. I'd like to see for myself.'

Hu Tianbiao let out bursts of shrill laughter.

Gao Lian couldn't quite figure out this man's temperament, and muttered to himself, "Grandpa Tianbiao, Grandpa Kunsheng was a top-tier demon, reaching the pinnacle of demonic power. Even so, he was powerless before True Person Huaidan. Now he has attained the legendary status of True Person, truly deserving of the title. I wonder..."

Hu Tianbiao was somewhat displeased: 'Are you comparing me to Xiao Kunsheng?'

"Of course that's not what I meant. Grandpa Kunsheng is merely at the peak of the Great Demon realm; how can he compare to you, Ancestor? And I have never doubted your abilities, Ancestor."

"I've seen far more than a hundred things in my centuries of life; I don't need your reminders."

Hu Tianbiao's voice resonated in my mind.

Gao Lian could only smile wryly and pray that his grandfather would behave himself.

Gao Lian looked around at the group of high-ranking officials who were filled with surprise and doubt: "Let's put the matter of the traitors aside for now. The support from North China has arrived, and there's also... Master Huai Dan. Everyone, come with me to welcome the Master."

An uproar immediately erupted. "Master Huaidan, what is he doing in our Northeast?"

"Ha! You wouldn't be thinking of exorcising demons, would you!"

Liu Wei shrank back: "Don't talk nonsense. There are no demons or monsters. They are immortals, and good immortals at that. They are good immortals recognized by the state."

Zhang Wei's eyes flickered uncertainly: "Old Gao, I feel that things are not simple. Could it be that Master Huai Dan came to the Northeast because he has his eye on that demon sword?"

It must be said that although the demon sword Hirumaru is evil, it absolutely deserves the title of a divine weapon.

Everyone was shocked.

"That's a demonic sword stained with the blood of countless extraordinary beings from the Xia Kingdom. Does Master Huaidan really want to subdue it?"

"Not to mention that we have connections everywhere, I'm afraid even the Lü family and the Tang family wouldn't agree! Many of their ancestors died under Hirumaru."

"Moreover, Hirumaru is notoriously evil. What if Master Huaidan is contaminated by it?"

Zhang Wei shook his head: "No matter how evil the Demon Blade is, can it be more evil than Master Huai Dan? To put it bluntly, the Demon Blade is just a weapon. The blood debt on it cannot be controlled by the weapon itself."

Everyone was talking about it.

Gao Lian said softly, "I would rather that Master Huai Dan came for the Demon Blade, but I'm afraid he has other purposes."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

Gao Lian sighed: "There's no use in speculating here. Let's go and meet Master Huai Dan first."

The group left the bunker.

Gao Lian observed the crowd discreetly.

Zhang Huaidan's arrival certainly made him take it very seriously, but the most urgent task was to find out the identity of the traitor.

Even the wide stool was of no use, which was something Gao Lian hadn't expected.

As thought crossed his mind, he wondered if the lurking traitors would slip up under the pressure of the arrival of Master Huai Dan.

……

Gao Lian greeted him with a loud laugh: "Welcome, welcome! It is an honor to have Master Huai Dan grace us with his presence. Please forgive me for not welcoming you sooner."

The high-ranking officials behind her were all amazed by her unparalleled demeanor. Her eyes slowly swept over them, possessing an irresistible and captivating magic!
'This young man, what a demeanor…'

Hu Tianbiao muttered to himself.

Over the centuries, Hu Tianbiao had seen countless people, but none of them could give him the same feeling as he did now with Zhang Huaidan.

He truly deserves to have attained the legendary realm of a true immortal.

His fox-like eyes revealed no depth whatsoever, only a sense of admiration swirling within them.

However, since the shamans and immortals are one, they influence each other. With Hu Tianbiao's hundreds of years of cultivation, Gao Lian is usually unable to sense the other's feelings.

However, at this moment, Gao Lian clearly felt the surging emotional fluctuations emanating from Hu Tianbiao.

Gao Lian was secretly horrified, but outwardly remained calm.

Zhang Huaidan said softly, "You're too kind."

Zhang Chulan suddenly appeared from the side: "Minister Gao, where are we?"

Gao Lian smiled and composed himself: "You are welcome, Master. This is not the place to talk. Please come this way."

Upon arriving at the headquarters of Nadutong in Northeast China, most of the senior executives dispersed, leaving Gao Lian with Liu Wei, Zhang Wei, and several other senior executives to receive Zhang Huaidan.

In the living room.

Gao Lian carefully chose his words: "Master Huai Dan has gone to great lengths to come to the Northeast as a guest, and we should do our best to be a good host. However, things are complicated in the Northeast right now, and we did not arrange for anyone to go to Longhu Mountain to congratulate you. Please do not take offense."

Zhang Huaidan said calmly, "Minister Gao is too kind."

Zhang Chulan said with a smile, "Speaking of working tirelessly, there is indeed some truth to it. Minister Gao doesn't know that we encountered a Japanese evil spirit on the train."

Gao Lian was taken aback.

Zhang Wei asked in surprise, "What kind of evil spirits are these?"

Zhang Chulan did not hide anything and recounted the events of the journey in detail, which greatly surprised the people who heard it.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed: "The True Man has vanquished demons and monsters, eliminating a great scourge for the Northeast. It's truly exhilarating! Those evil spirits must be the power secretly accumulated by the remnants of the Bihe Ren clan. They never dreamed that they would actually run into the True Man by sheer chance!"

Liu Wei was deeply moved and repeatedly flattered, "Yes, those Japanese devils lurked in the Northeast for decades, raising so many evil spirits and harming countless people of Xia Kingdom. The real man has vanquished evil and punished wickedness, which is truly gratifying!"

Gao Lian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "Minister Gao, please speak frankly."

“Xiao Zhang, according to you, even thunder magic couldn’t subdue those evil spirits for a while. The Heavenly Master’s Mansion’s thunder magic is the most effective against evil spirits, so those evil spirits must have already reached a very high level of power, probably even becoming great evil spirits. How could this be…”

Gao Lian couldn't help but glance at the completely calm Zhang Huaidan.

Liu Wei and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance. Looking over, they saw seven or eight large evil spirits vanish into thin air, which was indeed quite unbelievable.

Zhang Chulan laughed: "You're not asking me to find evidence, are you? I can't help you with that."

The implication is clear: believe it or not.

A sudden silence fell over the room. Gao Lian silently murmured to himself, "Grandpa Tianbiao, you heard that too."

Actually, although he found Zhang Chulan's description absurd, it wasn't enough to throw him into a state of panic when it happened to Zhang Huaidan.

It was only because Hu Tianbiao was urging him in his mind that Gao Lian asked one more question.

'Zhang Huaidan, a true immortal, is an astonishing genius among humans. How many years has he cultivated?'

Hu Tianbiao seemed not to hear, talking to himself in Gao Lian's mind.

As spirits without physical bodies, they can be considered evil spirits to some extent.

Zhang Chulan's description.

Gao Lian and the others seemed to understand but not quite.

Hu Tianbiao, however, had a very profound understanding.

The evil spirits in those wild graves that survived the baptism of thunder magic unscathed were all over sixty years old and could be considered great evil spirits!
Its strength is equivalent to that of a great demon!
Even though Northeast China is the stronghold of the Ma Xian sect, powerful demons are by no means as common as cabbages on the roadside.

The high-ranking officials at the headquarters of Northeast Nadutong worship mostly powerful demons as their deities.

At this moment, Hu Tianbiao was extremely shocked!

So Zhang Huaidan killed seven or eight powerful demons with a single glance? What level of skill is that!
Of course, evil spirits are ignorant and foolish, acting only out of resentment and malice, and cannot compare to true great demons.

Furthermore, a person who has lived for 60 years is a great demon, and a person who has lived for 30 years is also a great demon, but there is a significant difference between them.

No matter how much you explain, Zhang Huaidan only glanced at it once!
Gao Lian had no idea what Hu Tianbiao was thinking, but that didn't stop his expression from changing slightly and his heart from being shaken!

Gao Lian sensed the awe emanating from Hu Tianbiao!

He was deeply shaken and tentatively asked, "Grandpa Tianbiao, are you in awe of True Person Huaidan?"

Hu Tianbiao cursed, "Bullshit! How old is he? He's not even a fraction of my age. Why would I respect him?"

Gao Lian remained silent, his deep-seated sense of awe still lingering.

His feelings were hard to describe.

For more than a decade, I have never felt a sense of awe towards my ancestor, Tianbiao.

It should be noted that Ancestor Tianbiao was a being above the Great Demon, and even in the vast Northeast, he was one of the most powerful immortals!

As a result, after just a few words, he actually developed a sense of awe towards Huai Dan Zhenren.

Gao Lian felt like he was dreaming.

'Alas! Ancestor Tianbiao, in the hundreds of years of the world of extraordinary beings, only one True Man Huai Dan has emerged. This is a universally acknowledged fact, so…'

'Aren't you annoying?'

Gao Lian stopped himself from speaking.

To avoid making things worse and ruining Grandfather Tianbiao's reputation.

If Xiao Kunsheng were to face Zhang Huaidan in his current state, he probably wouldn't even have the courage to fight him...

'Grandpa Tianbiao, what are you saying?'

"It's nothing. Please be more polite and ask him exactly what he wants to do in Northeast China."

Hu Tianbiao remained silent, seemingly still, but his reverence for Hu Tianbiao remained undiminished.

Gao Lian took a deep breath and subtly observed his surroundings. He saw that Liu Wei and several other high-ranking officials had expressions of awe on their faces, clearly having communicated with the spirits around them.

On the contrary, Zhang Wei remained calm, which made Gao Lian secretly praise him. He was indeed worthy of being called Old Zhang!

He exhaled a deep breath and looked at the youth who was like a deep pool: "Master Huaidan, let's not beat around the bush. I'll be frank. Did you come to the Northeast for the demon sword Hirumaru?"

Several high-ranking officials present felt their breath catch in their throats.

Zhang Huaidan chuckled: "No."

Zhang Chulan chuckled, "What's so great about a broken Japanese sword? If our Brother Dan wants to use one, he'll use a Tang sword!"

The group breathed a sigh of relief, but Gao Lian's gaze sharpened: "Then may I ask, Master, what brings you to the Northeast this time?"

Then he felt his tone was rather stiff: "Na Du Tong has some influence in the Northeast, and the Gao family knows quite a few people. Master Huai Dan previously vanquished the evil spirits and greatly diminished the hidden power of Bi He Ren, which was of great help to our work. Although I, Gao Lian, only have a meager strength, I know what it means to repay kindness with kindness and want to help Master Huai Dan."

His words were impeccable.

Zhang Chulan perked up his ears. "Yeah, what did Brother Dan want to do in Northeast China?"

Zhang Huaidan laughed and said, "The Northeast is the domain of shamans and other supernatural beings, and the five immortal families all possess incredible power."

Before Gao Lian could even speak, Hu Tianbiao exclaimed with delight, "I love listening to this real person speak!"

Gao Lian smiled and said, "You flatter me, sir."

The immortals and humans are one; praising the immortals is praising the shamans. If someone else said this, Gao Lian wouldn't take it seriously, but when it came from Zhang Huaidan, it was extremely pleasing.

Zhang Huaidan nodded: "The special nature of immortals means that their lifespan is far longer than that of humans. I have many unsolved mysteries and would like to ask Minister Gao to introduce me to the oldest immortals in Northeast China."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt the atmosphere in the room drop to freezing point in the blink of an eye!
Gao Lian sprouted sharp canine teeth: "Zhang Huaidan, don't think that just because you're a real person you can do whatever you want."

Her voice was shrill and sinister, completely different from before.

Liu Wei's eyes turned into snake pupils: "Your idea is dangerous. You'd better put it aside!"

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

Don't think we're afraid of you!

Hedgehog fur, mouse whiskers, weasel tail...

Apart from Zhang Wei, all the high-ranking officials in the hall possessed superhuman qualities!

Zhang Chulan was shocked. He immediately understood that these people were possessed by immortals!
What's going on? Why did Dan's one sentence cause such a big reaction?
"Grandpa Tianbiao, calm down, calm down!"

Gao Lian was utterly horrified; the ancestor Tianbiao had actually possessed him!
The unwavering sense of awe that had always been there was now replaced by immense anger!

If it weren't for some lingering fear, I probably would have rushed up and torn it to shreds!
'Little brat, what do you know!'

"Grandpa Tianbiao, I don't understand, but I hope you can calm down!"

Zhang Huaidan remained calm, it seemed his guess was correct!

"Dear immortals, please be patient."

The sound contained the sound of thunder, and the weakest immortal was directly shaken out of its possession, while the higher-ups were still in shock.

This scene is both a form of persuasion and a blatant display of power!

The gazes of the immortals were shaken.

Hu Tianbiao said in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Huaidan, I don't care what your purpose is, there is no coward among us demons, we are not afraid of death!"

Zhang Huaidan frowned slightly, his reaction was unusually strong, he actually had the will to die, wasn't that a bit exaggerated?

He hadn't anticipated the current situation; this was a real problem.

Zhang Chulan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Hey, everyone, don't get excited. Let's talk this out. Brother Dan just mentioned it briefly. Don't overreact, gentlemen."

Feng Baobao blinked: "Let's talk this out..."

Zhang Wei followed suit and stepped forward: "Gentlemen, calm down. Xiao Zhang is right. The most urgent thing is to unite our guns against the enemy, deal with the Bihe Ren remnants who are plotting to seize the demon sword in the Northeast, and find the traitors hiding among us!"

The immortals slowly broke free and regained control of their bodies, but the high-ranking officials present were still greatly alarmed.

"Uncle Zhang is right!"

Zhang Chulan gave a thumbs up, his goodwill towards Zhang Wei greatly increased. No wonder he's surnamed Zhang!
Zhang Wei smiled politely.

The others remained silent, the events of just moments ago still vivid in their minds. The reactions of the immortals were unprecedented and remarkably consistent.

This compels people to think deeply.

After a moment's thought, even Gao Lian couldn't remain calm.

The awe he felt for his ancestor Tianbiao vanished, replaced by fear, anger, and a willingness to die for him!

He asked himself.

What exactly did Master Huaidan step on?

These kinds of reactions shouldn't have appeared on Grandfather Tianbiao at all! (End of Chapter)
