Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Zhang Chulan stared at him curiously, and Zhang Huaidan's eyes also flickered slightly.

moment.

Liu Wei was a little embarrassed and awkwardly changed the subject: "Brilliant! This is the might of the Demon King. Zhang Wei is already at his wit's end."

Zhang Chulan was slightly surprised: "I said, what did you find out just now? At least give me a definite answer!"

Liu Wei could only smile wryly; it wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it.

Zhang Chulan was about to ask again when Zhang Huaidan said, "Chulan, there's no need."

Zhang Chulan then realized that not only Liu Wei, but other high-ranking officials also wore wry smiles.

Recalling the unusual behavior displayed by the immortals not long ago, Zhang Chulan understood.

Liu Wei and the others didn't know, but the spirits associated with them did, though they were unwilling to say.

Zhang Chulan was puzzled. Why wouldn't they let anyone explore the realm above the Demon King? What were these immortals hiding?
Liu Wei's suspicious voice interrupted his thoughts: "Why hasn't Gao Lian taken down Zhang Wei yet?"

Looking around.

Neither side could gain the upper hand, and they ended up in a fierce battle.

……

Gao Lian was drenched in sweat, and Hu Tianbiao's voice echoed in his mind: 'Young Gao, his Yin Qi is very strange!'

Gao Lian gritted his teeth: "Grandpa Tianbiao, I would like to trouble you to support me with even greater efforts."

A demon king must have at least several hundred years of cultivation, which is an unimaginable amount of experience for humans.

Of course, the cultivation of demons is different from that of humans. Their hundreds of years of cultivation may have been mixed with some exaggeration.

But no matter what, it remains incredibly powerful.

Even at his peak, Gao Lian was unable to fully contain Hu Tianbiao's power.

'You were incredibly careless. If you hadn't taken that blow and allowed the Yin energy to seep into your body, you would have captured him long ago.'

What else could Gao Lian say but smile bitterly? When he learned that Zhang Wei was a traitor, he was undoubtedly the one who found it most unacceptable.

Decades of tacit cooperation, countless life-and-death experiences—even brothers might not have this kind of experience.

When such a truth suddenly comes out, no one can remain calm.

Gao Lian dodged Zhang Wei's claw attack, thinking to himself, "Grandpa Tianbiao, is there any way to dispel the Yin Qi within me?"

The Yin Qi that Zhang Wei had just injected into his body was not only extremely cold, but also carried a deep-seated resentment and poison that was difficult to dispel, which greatly restricted his movements.

'If I could drive them away, I would have done so long ago!'

Hu Tianbiao's voice was very impolite.

Demonic energy is also a type of yin energy. When Gao Lian was attacked, this resentful and poisonous yin energy entered his body.

Even with hundreds of years of cultivation, he was powerless.

Furthermore, he must constantly monitor the intensity of the demonic energy transmitted to Gao Lian; if the intensity is too high, the demonic energy will damage Gao Lian's foundation.

Unfortunately, this is the biggest limitation of shamans.

Even though one possesses astonishing immortal cultivation, finding a perfect vessel to contain such power is extremely difficult.

To give an easy-to-understand analogy.

Originally, Hu Tianbiao could transfer 100 units of energy to Gao Lian, but after being injured by the resentful and yin qi, he could only transfer 30 units.

Once Hu Tianbiao transmits more than 30 units of energy, Gao Lian will suffer irreparable damage.

Fortunately, it was a demon king like Hu Tianbiao who could precisely control every bit of demonic energy; otherwise, Gao Lian would have already suffered damage to his meridians.

Gao Lian himself was attacked by resentful and yin energy, greatly reducing his combat power. Hu Tianbiao also had to be careful not to hurt him, which greatly reduced his support.

With both factors combined, Gao Lian can only exert less than one-tenth of his usual strength.

Everything stemmed from Zhang Wei's sudden sneak attack with that palm strike.

"The old man is warning me that my body has been corrupted by Yin Qi! I can no longer withstand any more demonic Qi!"

"Zhang Wei, what exactly is this thing you've summoned?!"

Exclamations of alarm rang out from all sides. It turned out that several high-ranking officers who were watching from the sidelines were all feeling the erosion of Yin Qi as the battle with Zhang Wei dragged on!

Gao Lian's expression changed: "You all step back!"

"Lao Gao!"

"How can this be done!"

With the help of several people, Gao Lian was able to hold his own against Zhang Wei. Once they left, Gao Lian would inevitably be at a disadvantage!
……

a moment ago.

Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue: "This guy is pretty fierce."

No one responded. The high-ranking officials stared blankly, and Liu Wei even exclaimed in disbelief, "Grandpa Tianbiao was a demon king of his generation. How could he not be able to remove the evil spirit on Zhang Wei's body?"

His voice trembled: "Although the Yin Qi fluctuations on Zhang Wei's body are higher than those of a top-tier demon, they are not at the level of a demon king. Gao Lian is actually struggling in a fierce battle. What a joke!"

The group of high-ranking officials began to breathe heavily, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhang Chulan's gaze sharpened: "Brother Dan, the one on Minister Gao's body is a demon king, but I feel that he is similar to Liu Kunsheng, whom I saw at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

Liu Wei's eyes widened: "How can Grandpa Kunsheng compare to Grandpa Tianbiao!"

Zhang Huaidan laughed and said, "That's because he can only unleash less than 10% of his strength."

Liu Wei was struck dumb, and the eyes of all the senior executives also stared blankly over.

Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "Why?"

Zhang Huaidan said calmly, "The biggest drawback of a shaman is that he cannot bear the full cultivation of an immortal. However, asking an immortal to possess one's body is not without its risks. The demonic energy cultivated by demons is different from the true energy cultivated by humans. If the demonic energy flows in the meridians for a long time or exceeds a certain limit, it will cause irreversible consequences."

Liu Wei and the others fell silent; this was indeed an irreparable flaw of those who practiced shamanic practices.

"Just now, Zhang Wei launched a sneak attack with his palm, and Yin Qi invaded Gao Lian's body. In order to prevent him from being harmed, the demonic Qi transmitted from the immortal possession in his body will be greatly reduced to avoid exceeding that limit."

The expressions of the surrounding executives turned grim.

Zhang Chulan said softly, "Then why can't we expel the Yin Qi?"

Zhang Huaidan said, "Demons are inherently a form of Yin Qi. Can you wash away dirty water with clean water?"

Zhang Chulan chuckled awkwardly: "Haha."

Upon hearing this, the senior executives turned pale. Liu Wei clenched his fists and said, "No, it can't be. Ancestor Tianbiao is a great demon. Even if he uses brute force, he can expel Zhang Wei's yin energy."

The higher-ups seemed to have found an outlet for their frustrations, and they echoed the sentiments one after another.

Zhang Chulan looked at Zhang Huaidan.

Zhang Huaidan said calmly, "The Yin Qi that Zhang Wei released was not simple. Although I don't know what he summoned, the Yin Qi contained extremely heavy Yin filth and resentment. Those who were guarding the formation were contaminated. It's possible that they specifically studied how to restrain the shamans."

The expressions on the faces of the higher-ups changed again.

Liu Wei said in a deep voice, "Master Huai Dan, we shamans are not so fragile. We cannot be restrained by anyone..." His voice trailed off.

Several high-ranking officers who were providing cover cried out in alarm, clearly influenced by Zhang Wei's Yin Qi.

Looking at that young and unassuming face, Liu Wei stammered, "Master Huaidan, what's wrong?"

The higher-ups were also somewhat stunned.

Zhang Chulan chuckled and said, "Brother Dan saw through the details. Is there something surprising about it?"

Liu Wei trembled, a single thought surging through his mind, unstoppable. He couldn't help but whisper, "Master Huai Dan, please..."

A burning flame of expectation instantly ignited in the eyes of the top leaders.

However, Zhang Chulan jumped out and blocked his way: "What are you asking me to do?"

Liu Wei opened his mouth, but couldn't finish his sentence.

When Zhang Huaidan arrived in Northeast China, he first helped deal with seven or eight powerful evil spirits, greatly weakening the reserve forces of the Bihe Ren.

It remains to be seen how many casualties the subsequent actions of the Northeast branch will reduce.

Even more remarkably, they uncovered Zhang Wei, a notorious traitor who had been lurking in the Northeast branch for decades, amidst laughter and conversation.

Master Huaidan has no kinship with anyone present, yet he has already done enough.

The real person didn't even ask for anything in return, yet...

When Zhang Wei was arrested, apart from Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, no one believed him. He even shamelessly questioned the real person, and...

When the master casually mentioned it before, the immortals on the high-ranking people suddenly sprang up, suspecting that the master had other motives!
The human heart is made of flesh.

If Liu Wei had put himself in their shoes, he would have turned around and left long ago if he had experienced those things.

The fact that the real person is still standing here, still protecting them, shows how magnanimous the real person is!
Given all of the above, how could he possibly have the audacity to ask Master Huaidan for help?

Liu Wei smiled bitterly: "Master, Zhang Wei is a traitor. We must not let him escape. I humbly request that you, Master, do you have any way to break this deadlock?"

Zhang Chulan walked to the side.

Zhang Huaidan said, "Either he risks damaging his foundation to bear more of the immortals' power, or the immortals on him will bear the consequences."

Liu Wei was taken aback: "Real person, I understand the former, but the latter?"

The senior executives were also somewhat bewildered.

There is a limit to how much power a shaman can bear.

Once the limits are broken, even greater power can be unleashed, but severe consequences will also follow.

But Zhang Huaidan's last sentence was something even they, as native practitioners of shamanism, had never heard of before.

Historically, only those who practice shamanism have been able to bear this burden.

I've never heard of spirits being able to help share the burden.

Zhang Huaidan didn't explain further, but smiled and said, "Perhaps this is one of the differences between a demon king and a great demon."

……

As the few who had been providing backup left, Gao Lian indeed fell into a slump. Zhang Wei yelled repeatedly, "Gao Lian, why are you doing this? Spare my life, and we'll all be on good terms!"

Gao Lian roared, "Shut up, you traitorous dog!"

His eyes were as resolute as iron!

'Grandfather Tianbiao, I accept the consequences. Please support me with even more strength!'

Hu Tianbiao's voice was stern: "You'd better think this through. I can give you more power, but in the current situation, to take down Zhang Wei, you'll have to shorten your lifespan by at least ten years!"

He changed the subject abruptly: "In the past, you would have had no choice but to tough it out, but things are different now."

The implication was clear, and Gao Lian understood perfectly: 'I won't ask Master Huaidan for help. Leaving aside whether he agrees or not, he's already helped the Northeast branch a great deal. To ask him for such a huge favor again... Grandfather, that would mean I couldn't maintain my integrity.'

Gao Lian had his own considerations. Zhang Huaidan hadn't come to Northeast China for sightseeing!
The reactions of Ancestor Tianbiao and the other immortals just now reveal a lot!

Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that Master Huaidan must have something he wanted!
The Northeast Branch owes Master Huaidan too many favors for exterminating evil spirits and finding traitors!
At this moment, if we help capture Zhang Wei...

Even if it's just to repay Zhang Huaidan's favor, he would probably still try to persuade Hu Tianbiao.

There was a moment of silence. Hu Tianbiao let out a long laugh, a laugh that resonated deep within him: 'What do you mean by "true self"? Young man, you're not a child anymore, yet you spout such youthful nonsense.'

Gao Lian suffered repeated defeats, and Zhang Wei, seeing that he was about to rush out of the reception room, became extremely anxious: "Grandpa Tianbiao, now is not the time for idle talk, please..."

"What's your rush? With me here, how could I let him get away? Young man, the difference between a demon king and a great demon isn't just about cultivation level."

As soon as he finished speaking, demonic energy erupted, filling the reception room. It was pitch black, leaving only a clear space behind Zhang Huaidan.

Zhang Wei's expression changed drastically!

This demonic energy was as black as ink and as sticky as glue. His yin energy, which carried filth and resentment, was actually suppressed!
It's important to understand that the things he acquired weren't just the result of his own efforts.

Instead, it was the Bihe Rencan group, which had been lurking in the Northeast for decades, that specifically studied and developed a method to counter the evil spirits and shamans who emerged from the Northeast!
The effect was indeed immediate; Gao Lian, who was hit by him, could not exert even a tenth of his strength.

Several high-ranking officers who were on guard were corrupted by his Yin Qi and could only retreat unwillingly!
Zhang Wei's breathing was heavy, his gaze solemn: "Demon King!"

Above the Great Demon is the Demon King!
Despite decades of research, the Bihe Rencan group could only produce Great Evil Spirits and could never unravel the secrets of the Demon King.

Zhang Wei looked around and saw only darkness. The viscous demonic energy seeped into his pores, making him shudder and causing the evil spirits on his body to panic.

Gao Lian could clearly see every part of the room, and his heart was heavy with sorrow: 'Grandpa Tianbiao, it's all my fault. If he hadn't succeeded in his sneak attack, you wouldn't have had to pay such a price!'

In an instant, he understood.

If a powerful demon increases its support, it will cause serious damage to the shaman. However, if the demon king increases its support, he has another option.

That comes at the cost of burning through the road!
"With my centuries of cultivation, burning this for a few years is no problem. Let's take him down."

Hu Tianbiao's voice clearly sounded weak.

Gao Lian gritted his teeth and shouted sharply, "Zhang Wei!"

The furious voice shook the heavy demonic energy. Zhang Wei was already completely suppressed and hadn't even had time to react when a hand pierced through the demonic energy and imprinted itself on his chest.

'Snap!'

A series of cracking sounds, like popping beans, sent Zhang Wei flying out of the reception room. With a muffled thud, he slumped into the wall, barely breathing.

The demonic energy dissipated.

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Old Gao!"

The senior executives breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to prevent Zhang Wei from escaping.

Gao Lian had mixed feelings. Cultivating as an immortal was truly difficult, and his ancestor Tianbiao had made many sacrifices.

Fortunately, this matter was resolved independently, without owing Master Huaidan any further favors.

otherwise……

Gao Lian was slow to realize the truth.

Zhang Huaidan's gaze was fixed on what was behind him with great interest. (End of Chapter)
