Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

The silence in the room felt like a mountain pressing down on everyone's chest.

Zhang Chulan was speechless. There was nothing wrong with what Brother Dan said, so why did he cause such a commotion? He was truly speechless.

His eyes darted around, and he started talking: "Um, Uncle Zhang, I think I just heard something about a traitor lurking among us?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Zhang Wei had no choice but to play the role of peacemaker. He sighed and said, "Xiao Zhang, you don't know, there's a big traitor among the higher-ups of the Northeast branch. Even when Lao Gao pulled everyone onto the bench, it was no use."

"There is such a thing!"

Zhang Chulan, having experienced the hardships of high technology, was well aware of its advantages and disadvantages, never expecting the traitor to be so capable.

That makes sense; you can't become a traitor without some ability!

A thought suddenly struck him, and he clapped his hands and grinned, "Minister Gao, isn't it a headache not being able to find a traitor?"

Gao Lian was still thinking and did not answer.

Zhang Wei gave a bitter smile: "It's more than just a headache. Without finding this traitor, there's no way we can even begin to discuss any further actions from our Northeast branch."

Zhang Chulan winked: "Looks like Brother Dan's arrival really came at the right time!"

Zhang Huaidan smiled slightly.

Gao Lian also temporarily snapped out of his thoughts: "What do you mean?" he asked uncertainly, "Does Master Huai Dan have any way to find the traitors? We've found nothing from Kuandeng."

Zhang Huaidan confirmed that the person was indeed real, but trying to find the traitor without any clues is simply a pipe dream.

Even if one were above the level of a true immortal, Gao Lian would not believe that one could be omniscient and omnipotent.

Those on the upper floors of the building temporarily suppressed their thoughts about the rampaging immortals.

“Master Huaidan, this is a pressing matter for our Northeast branch, and it is not something to be taken lightly.”

"It's not that we don't believe in real people, it's just that how can real people find traitors?"

Zhang Wei said sincerely, "If Master Huaidan can find the traitor, that would be a great help to us!"

Gao Lian calmed himself and silently thought, "Grandpa Tianbiao, True Man Huaidan has been a great help to us. He destroyed so many powerful evil spirits along the way and even helped us find the traitor."

'Hmph, he doesn't have the ability to expose the traitor!'

Hu Tianbiao scoffed; he wasn't some kind of old house demon.

Even the wide stool couldn't catch him red-handed. What makes Zhang Huaidan think he can just use the word "real person" to make a hidden traitor repent and expose himself?

What a joke!
Zhang Wei cupped his hands in greeting: "Master Huai Dan, what should we do?"

Zhang Chulan patted his chest: "That's too easy! Just look into Brother Dan's eyes and say 'I am a traitor,' and you don't need to worry about anything else. Just leave it to Brother Dan. How about that? Isn't it much more awesome and convenient than the 'Congkuan Deng' method?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Those present were all high-ranking officials from Northeast China, with some experience in their own right. Zhang Chulan's words truly evoked complex emotions in them.

Liu Wei scratched his head: "Xiao Zhang, you're not playing a trick on us, are you?"

He actually wanted to ask if Zhang Huaidan was playing a trick on him, but he changed his mind before he could finish his sentence.

The remaining people exchanged glances, both amused and exasperated.

Feng Baobao suddenly blurted out, "What he said is true..."

Gao Lian hesitated, thinking he had no other choice but to try anything, saying, "I'll trust you this once. Liu Wei, go and call for help."

Having almost blurted out his true feelings, Liu Wei left somewhat annoyed to call for help.

Zhang Chulan took in everyone's expressions but didn't care. Once they saw Dan Ge's methods, they would know what unfathomable means really meant!

Zhang Wei asked curiously, "This matter is of utmost importance. How exactly will the judgment be made? Could we be wronging an innocent person?"

Seeing that everyone was still skeptical, Zhang Chulan grinned and said, "Come on, Uncle Zhang, perfect timing, you can give everyone a demonstration."

Zhang Wei smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and met Zhang Huaidan's eyes: "Master Huaidan, I..." He smiled awkwardly: "I am a traitor."

Everyone was completely baffled. Zhang Chulan laughed loudly, "See, everyone? Just like Uncle Zhang, it's too simple. If he were lying, it would be impossible...!!!"

Zhang Chulan's voice stopped abruptly, his smile froze on his face, and an incredible light burst forth in his eyes!
Feng Baobao blinked, then pulled out a knife from somewhere and slashed Zhang Wei's head, splitting it open like a raw melon: "You're a traitor..."

At the critical moment, Zhang Wei tilted his head, but a tuft of his hair was still knocked off.

As the broken hair fell to the ground, Feng Baobao's second slash followed immediately, leaving Zhang Wei both shocked and furious.

"Stop!" Gao Lian shouted.

Several bewildered executives then realized what was happening.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

"You slashed a high-ranking official in the Northeast headquarters with a knife, little girl, are you born in the Year of the Ox or the Year of the Tiger?!"

"What happened???"

Two of the higher-ups had question marks growing out of their heads.

Just then, Liu Wei arrived at the reception room with other senior executives. Everyone looked bewildered: "What happened?"

Zhang Wei was furious: "Xiao Zhang, I thought you were a promising junior. How did you manage to discipline this woman? You really want to chop off my head if we disagree?"

Zhang Chulan held Feng Baobao's arm, his gaze complicated: "To be honest, I never suspected you at all. I didn't expect someone to be so well hidden."

Although this is really outrageous, and anyone else would not believe it at all, Dan couldn't possibly be wrong.

Zhang Wei was furious! "Don't make false accusations!"

Gao Lian frowned deeply: "Zhang Chulan, what exactly happened? What makes you think Zhang Wei is a traitor?"

Zhang Chulan stared intently at Zhang Wei, and even now, he hadn't revealed a single flaw.

He said in a deep voice, "Look into Brother Dan's eyes, and no one can lie."

Gao Lian's expression changed: "No one can lie, which means you can only tell the truth. Just now, Old Zhang..."

Zhang Wei turned his head in surprise: "Old Gao, you also think I'm a traitor?"

The senior executives found it utterly baffling.

"You've got it wrong. Anyone could be a traitor, but Old Zhang couldn't!"

"Among us, Lao Gao is the least likely, and Lao Zhang is the second least likely!"

Liu Wei also realized what was happening and shouted, "To be honest, Zhang Wei and I don't get along, but if you call Zhang Wei a traitor, I'll eat this conference table right now!"

Zhang Wei's face showed a mixture of grievance and gratitude. He then looked in one direction, his anger still lingering: "Master Huai Dan, if I may be so blunt, you didn't come to the Northeast just to cause trouble, did you?"

The gazes of the senior executives also shifted.

Gao Lian frowned deeply. Apart from himself and Zhang Wei, he would thoroughly investigate anyone who was accused of being a traitor.

Zhang Chulan said softly, "Brother Dan wouldn't..."

A voice came from behind: "Chu Lan, step back."

Zhang Chulan stepped aside.

Zhang Huaidan scanned the crowd one by one, and the executives who were under his gaze felt a sudden tightness in their hearts for no reason.

Finally, he gazed at Zhang Wei.

He sneered repeatedly: "Master Huaidan, do you still think I'm a traitor?"

Zhang Huaidan spoke calmly: "Aren't you one?" The first word was like a gentle breeze and drizzle, the second word was like a raging storm, the third word was like a thunderclap, and the fourth word was like the heavens and earth pressing down!
No matter how well Zhang Wei disguised himself, a trace of sinister energy still leaked out.

In an instant, you could hear a pin drop in the room.

When shamans and spirits collaborate, they invariably utilize demonic energy. Demonic energy is actually a type of yin energy, but it has its own distinct characteristics.

The yin energy emanating from Zhang Wei at this moment was not demonic energy.

A look of astonishment flashed through Hu Tianbiao's mind: 'It really is him! How is that possible? How did Zhang Huaidan manage to recognize him?!'

Gao Lian, disregarding everything else, pointed a trembling finger at Zhang Wei.

"Old Zhang, you, you, you're a traitor!"

All the high-ranking officials were completely bewildered; they could never have imagined that the traitor would be Zhang Wei!
Zhang Wei's face was deathly pale, and he was drenched in sweat, having lost all the color he had shown earlier.

This is not only because his identity has been revealed, but also because of the lingering oppressive effect of Zhang Huaidan's question earlier!

The shock in my heart had not yet subsided; it was simply unimaginable that Zhang Huaidan could be so terrifying.

With just one sentence, a mere four words, he was exposed after decades of hiding.

She bit her tongue hard, knowing she could no longer hide it.

A dark glint flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, and he suddenly sprang to his feet, his palm carrying extremely compressed Yin Qi as he struck Gao Lian's side.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before anyone could accept the fact that Zhang Wei was a traitor, he suddenly attacked and injured people!

High and honest in the middle of the palm.

Hu Tianbiao roared, "You brat, do you want to die?"

Zhang Wei struck successfully and fled towards the door.

Gao Lian was furious: "Stop him!"

A chill ran through him, not only from the blow, but also from the fact that Zhang Wei was a traitor.

The high-ranking officials all tried to summon spirits to stop Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei, this notorious traitor, was no pushover. His body emanated a chilling, sinister aura, and he instantly repelled four or five people.

Gao Lian's chin grew longer and his teeth sharper, as if he had been possessed by Hu Tianbiao: "Zhang Wei, you're not leaving today!"

Without needing many words, the two began to fight.

A chilling aura filled the air, and a demonic wind raged, instantly transforming the reception room into a battlefield.

Some of the high-ranking officers helped with the raid, while others went to evacuate the headquarters staff.

Liu Wei had just stopped Zhang Wei when he was struck by the Yin Qi, and he felt half of his body stiffen.

Looking around, the other high-ranking officials were using various methods to resist the aftershocks of the battle caused by Gao Lian and Zhang Wei in the confined space.

The half of his body that had been hit became increasingly stiff. Liu Wei inwardly groaned, but then, out of the corner of his eye, he subtly moved closer.

It was as if they had entered another world. A meter away, there was a raging storm, but within a meter, it was calm and peaceful. The aftershocks of the battle could not penetrate at all.

And the frozen shoulder was rapidly returning to normal, causing my heartstrings to tremble.

Everything happened because he stood next to Zhang Huaidan.

The immortals surrounding him were deeply shocked, murmuring in their minds: 'Such a person, such a true master…'

Feng Baobao glanced to the side: "Zhang Chulan, how do you cook a table to make it taste good..."

Zhang Chulan said with a smile, "It should taste better when dipped in special Northeastern soybean paste."

Liu Wei smiled awkwardly, relieved, and wisely refrained from replying.

The remaining high-ranking officials, aside from a few who were there to help out, also cleverly came over.

"Master Huaidan, I am truly sorry. If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we would have been deceived by Zhang Wei."

"The power of a true master is terrifying! That bastard Zhang Wei has nowhere to hide!"

"Why is the real person completely unaffected? Sigh! I was just doubting the real person, but now I realize how blind I was."

Zhang Huaidan smiled but remained silent.

The executives all smiled apologetically, showing no embarrassment.

Zhang Chulan said with a smile, "I think everyone is still worried about whether Minister Gao can successfully take down this traitor."

Liu Wei had recovered about 70-80%, but his heartstrings were still trembling. Hearing this, he said softly, "Little Zhang, you don't know this. Gao Lian is very lucky. He has gained the favor of Hu Tianbiao, the ancestor of the Hu family. Taking down Zhang Wei is a piece of cake for him."

Everyone echoed in agreement.

Zhang Chulan's heart stirred. Dan Ge's true purpose was to drive the group of immortals into a frenzy, disregarding everything.

He was powerless to do what Dan wanted to do, but he wasn't completely helpless either.

The spirits of Northeast China are known for their mystery, and little is known about them. This is a good opportunity to ask: "I've only ever met one spirit, Master Liu Kunsheng. This Hu Tian..."

Then a series of laughs were heard.

Liu Wei said with a smile, "Uncle Kunsheng, as a rising star of the Liu family, is just a junior in front of Grandfather Tianbiao."

Zhang Chulan listened intently.

Liu Wei didn't keep him in suspense any longer: "Grandpa Tianbiao is a demon king!"

Zhang Chulan was startled: "Demon King!"

That sounds incredibly impressive!
What is a Demon King?

Liu Wei explained in detail: "The way immortals cultivate is different from that of us humans. Because of their lifespan, when they reach a certain age, their physical bodies will decay and they will exist in this world as spirits."

Zhang Chulan nodded: "I know all of that, so how can one become a demon king?"

Liu Wei said, "The cultivation level of immortals is basically calculated in years. Those under one Jiazi are insignificant demons, those under one Jiazi become great demons, and those under three Jiazi are the pinnacle of great demons. Master Kunsheng and the one on my body are great demons under three Jiazi."

“Starting from the fourth cycle of the sexagenary cycle, one can be called a demon king of a region, whose strength is far beyond that of a great demon.”

As they talked, jealousy resurfaced.

"Gao Lian must have had some incredible luck to be so highly regarded by Grandfather Tian Biao."

Zhang Chulan glanced at Zhang Huaidan and asked doubtfully, "According to your logic, wouldn't every immortal become a demon king as long as they live long enough?"

The surrounding middle and senior managers couldn't help but laugh, and they all started offering their explanations.

“You’re not a medium, so you don’t understand the difficulties of immortal cultivation. To go from the peak of a great demon to a demon king, you’ve blocked at least 90% of immortals.”

"It's not easy for a great demon to go from sixty years to the top of the great demon realm. Because it is a spiritual body, it is much more difficult for it than for us humans to cultivate."

Zhang Chulan's heart stirred: "What should be called the immortals above the Demon King?"

Everyone was immediately stumped by the question.

Liu Wei was taken aback: "Are there really immortals in the world who can surpass the Demon King?"

He glanced at Zhang Huaidan almost imperceptibly, just as Zhang Huaidan looked back at him.

Liu Wei smiled awkwardly: "Wait, let me ask the old man."

Inquire about the spirits residing within. (End of Chapter)
