Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 139 New vest, the dead are alive?
"Chen Jinkui has gone crazy, our chance has come!"

The next day, Lucheng.

In the meeting room of the Truth Seeking Society, there was a round table in the middle, and four people were sitting in a circle around the table.

As soon as these words fell, three pairs of eyes looked at the man sitting in the main seat, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

The middle-aged man in a pink shirt sitting on the north side of the round table was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the tea bowl in his hand.

He quickly steadied his movements, his voice filled with anxiety as he couldn't help but ask for confirmation: "President, is this news credible?"

Others also echoed:

"Yes, President, where did this news come from? Why did Chen Jinkui suddenly go crazy?"

The man who was the focus of everyone's attention raised his hand to smooth his 1:9 hair. The corners of his eyes and thick black eyebrows were slightly raised, making his long face look even longer.

The man was the president of the Truth Seeking Society, Huang Ning.

Huang Ning heard this and nodded seriously, saying:

"This news has spread outside. I asked someone to verify it and it is true."

"As for why Chen Jinkui went crazy, the people at Nadutong are investigating, but the reason is still unknown."

"It is said that when the people who knew everything found him, he was lying on the grass... His eyes were wide open, saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he was repeating some meaningless words. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't wake him up."

"Now, he has been transported back to the Shuzi Sect."

"The affairs of the Shuzi Sect will be temporarily managed by his eldest disciple."

"I heard they've invited a lot of doctors to treat it, but they can't even find the cause yet."

Huang Ning's eyes lit up slightly, "That is to say, Chen Jinkui is not only crazy, but also in a serious condition."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed some joy on their faces.

……

The four people at the round table were the president and elders of the Truth Seeking Society, but they actually came from four different sects.

Yanwu Hall, Natural Gate, Yiliu Flow, and Huangmen Sancai.

Huang Ning came from Yanwu Hall. Although he was elected as the president, he was actually the youngest among those present.

Yanwutang is famous for its horizontal training. The reason why Huang Ning was able to take the position of president is not only because of his flexibility in dealing with people and things, but also because of his solid horizontal training skills.

After Huang Ning, the person with the highest status present was Fang Ye, who originally came from the Natural Gate.

Fang Ye sat opposite Huang Ning.

He was wearing a green Tang suit and had neatly combed white hair. He was born in the Natural Gate and was the oldest and most senior member of the Truth Seeking Society.

Bian Tong, one of the thirty-six thieves, was his senior brother.

Different from Yanwutang which focuses on horizontal training, Ziranmen places more emphasis on internal strength. All the moves are about the natural and smooth movement of Qi, and the purpose is to cultivate the skill of nourishing Qi.

So even though Fang Ye is over a hundred years old, his mental state seems to be very good.

A man slightly younger than Fang Ye was sitting on the south side of the round table. He had a round head and face and very sparse hair. His name was Wang Aiguo.

His appearance and temperament are unremarkable. Compared with the elders of the alien sect, he is more like a gatekeeper.

Yiliu Qi emphasizes that the Qi flow and fist force complement each other, attract and follow each other, and when one moves, all others move as well. It requires a high level of talent for cultivation.

Back then, Gao Gen, who had a very good relationship with Wu Gensheng, defected from Yiliu and joined Quanxing.

As for the man in the pink shirt who spoke first, he was Huang Sanxiu, who came from the Huangmen Sancai and was good at Sancai Fist and Sancai Sword.

At this moment, the four people's eyes met above the round table, and everyone's eyes contained the same joy -

"If Chen Jinkui really goes crazy and can't recover for a while... wouldn't the position of the Ten Lords be vacant?!"

……

"Xiao Ning, does our Seeking Truth Society have a chance?"

Fang Ye subconsciously scraped the tea leaves with the cup lid, looked at Huang Ning, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

"If a position in the Ten Lords Association becomes vacant, it means that every sect will have an opportunity."

"But our Truth Seeking Society's chances of winning aren't very high," Huang Ning said calmly.

After hearing these words, the excitement in the eyes of the other three people gradually faded, replaced by indignation.

"No matter what, it's time for us to take the top spot in the Ten Lords Association!"

Huang Sanxiu placed the tea bowl in his hand on the table, making a crisp sound.

"In terms of background, our Seeking Truth Society is composed of four sects that have been passed down for a long time."

"Which of these four sects has not existed for more than a hundred years?"

"Now, we are being suppressed by some emerging sects. It's really frustrating!"

Hearing Huang Sanxiu's complaint, Wang Aiguo, who had sparse hair, nodded and said:
"Five years ago, we had a good chance, but we were overtaken by Ru Hu from Xigu Pavilion with his kung fu and the title of 'Two Supremes'."

"Last year, Feng Zhenghao from the Tianxia Association came from behind and took the seat."

"Originally, there would be no rotation of seats in recent years, but Chen Jinkui had an accident. No matter what caused his madness, this is a good thing for us."

"In the Shuzi Sect today, except for Chen Jinkui, no one else can hold this position."

"There's a good chance this seat will become vacant, and this might be the closest we'll ever get to it."

"If it doesn't work this time, I don't know how long I'll have to wait."

Huang Ning nodded slightly, his expression solemn.

"In terms of seniority, our Truth Seeking Society is also qualified, but we have many competitors."

His thick black eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were shining as he analyzed the forces in the alien world:

"The Tang Sect, originally specialized in assassinations, has transformed itself into a martial arts school. It's said that they've received quite a few talented disciples in recent years."

"Among the sorcerer sects, besides the Shuzi Sect, the most prominent one is the Zhuge Wuhou Sect. If we talk about the position of the Ten Lords, Zhuge Gong can also occupy a seat."

"There is also Jishitang. Their elixirs are extremely popular in the alien world and have an excellent reputation."

"These are all strong competitors of the Truth Seeking Society."

After hearing Huang Ning's analysis, Fang Ye took a sip of tea and slowly continued:
"The Tang Sect has Dan Shi, the Wu Hou Sect has Wu Hou Qi Men, and even the Ji Shi Tang has the Eight Methods and Five Gates secret technique."

"In the final analysis, what our Truth Seeking Club lacks is nothing more than a unique skill."

"If we really had a unique skill, those people would never dare to look down on us."

Huang Ning was also aroused at this time, and an expression of indignation appeared on his face.

He sneered, "Over the years, the resources and voice of the alien world have been controlled by the major sects and the Four Families. There's no place for sects like us to have a say."

"Ten years ago, the battle with Zhang Huaiyi severely damaged the vitality of our four sects. In the end, we relied on banding together to form the Seeking Truth Society, which was able to maintain a firm foothold in the world of extraordinary people."

"If the Truth Seeking Society wants to make further progress, someone must join the Ten Lords Society."

"As long as you join the Ten Lords Association, you will have a say in major events in the alien world. At that time, a lot of resources will naturally be allocated to you."

"In fact, if Nadutong can support us, our chance to join the Ten Lords will come."

"However, even if I want to talk to Zhao Fangxu, I need an opportunity."

……

The meeting room fell silent.

They originally thought that this was an opportunity, but after analyzing it, they found that there were many difficulties.

All four of them frowned, looking thoughtful.

How can we break the deadlock in this matter?
After a moment, Fang Ye, the oldest, sighed slightly and said:

"Seeking the truth, seeking the truth. We named our sect 'Seeking the Truth Society', isn't it to constantly remind ourselves to pursue the truth and the miraculous skills of the Jiashen Rebellion?"

"We've been keeping an eye on the Qinling Mountains for this very reason."

Having said that, Fang Ye looked up at Huang Ning.

"Xiao Ning, what's the situation over at Qinling? I remember Liu Jian successfully entered a few days ago." Huang Ning shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Ever since that text message, I haven't been able to contact Liu Jian."

Speaking of text messages, everyone immediately recalled the text message Liu Jian sent back a few days ago -

[Seven strange individuals have been observed attempting to enter the Qinling Mountains. They appear to be from the Twenty-Four Sections Valley. Should we continue following them?]

Their excitement at that time is still vivid in my mind.

After waiting for decades, new clues finally appeared, and of course we couldn't let them go.

So, they immediately responded to the command to [keep tracking].

But I didn’t expect that the person would lose contact like this.

Huang Ning saw the tension on the three people's faces and said to comfort them, "That aura is special. It's normal that you can't receive the signal inside."

"I was planning to send someone over there two days ago, but I heard that the Ten Lords and the company's people had already gone there, and there are still people guarding there."

"Now, we have no choice but to wait."

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Huang Ning's eyes.

"If Liu Jian can come out safely, maybe he can bring us good news!"

The others nodded in agreement.

In 1944, after the incident of the thirty-six sworn brothers broke out, the leader of the Natural Gate asked Bian Tong, who was also from the Natural Gate, to lead the way and lead people into the Twenty-Four Section Valley.

Halfway through, people from Yanwutang and Yiliu also joined in.

But in that team composed of elites from several sects, only the leader of the Natural Sect came out alive.

However, half an hour after he came out, he was inexplicably choked to death by a thorn that was so small that it could not be any smaller while eating.

Before his death, he described the journey—

“We saw a miracle!”

……

"Knock knock knock!"

A rapid knock on the door interrupted everyone's reverie.

Huang Ning shouted angrily towards the door: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb the meeting?"

"Yes, President, there is...something big!"

The disciple outside the door was out of breath, obviously having run all the way here, and his voice was mixed with uncontrollable excitement and excitement.

Huang Ning heard the voice of the gatekeeper disciple.

He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Senior Brother Liu is back!" The disciple was so excited that he almost jumped up, his voice trembling.

"Are you talking about Liu Jian?"

Huang Sanxiu stood up suddenly, walked directly to the door, and asked the disciple anxiously face to face.

The disciple nodded vigorously and said repeatedly:

"Yes! Yes! Senior Brother Liu is waiting at the martial arts hall now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Huang Ning and the other three all lit up.

Huang Ning stood up. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the excitement in his eyes was still very obvious.

He nodded to his disciples and said, "Tell Liu Jian to come directly to the meeting room!"

……

In front of the martial arts hall.

Lu Liang was leaning against a tree, leisurely admiring the disciples' cultivation.

At this time, his appearance had changed.

He had shoulder-length purple hair, deep and mysterious black eyes, and a strong and upright figure, exactly like the poisoned corpse in the Qinling Mountains.

Of course, his face was no longer as purple as the corpse's, and it looked a little more lively.

Lu Liang was playing with a wooden badge in his hand.

When he saw the badge on the corpse, he made the decision in his heart to go to Qiuzhen to find Huang Ning.

In his opinion, Huang Ning is an ambitious and intelligent person, but he lacks opportunities and has low moral standards.

Such a person is perfect to be an insider.

As for why he didn't go directly to Huang Ning at this moment, but waited here leisurely.

Of course, it was because he only modeled the appearance of the corpse and did not gain any memories.

However, Lu Liang was not worried, because Huang Ning must be eager to see him.

Sure enough, within two minutes, the gatekeeper's voice came from far away:
"Senior Brother Liu, the president and the elders asked you to go to the meeting room."

"Okay! You lead the way."

Lu Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a kind smile, and took a step forward to follow.

……

At the entrance of the meeting hall.

Before Lu Liang even stepped into the house, he clearly felt four pairs of expectant gazes, the heat in those gazes seemed to penetrate him.

"It seems that this just happened to coincide with the Truth Seeking Association meeting?" Lu Liang thought to himself and instantly realized the current situation.

He said to Huang Ning who was standing at the front: "President, I need to talk to you alone first."

Upon hearing this request, Fang Ye and the others immediately showed some reluctance on their faces.

But after Huang Ning repeatedly assured them that they would share information, they cooperated and left the house.

Soon, only Lu Liang and Huang Ning were left in the conference room.

Huang Ning raised his hand to signal Lu Liang to sit on the chair opposite, and poured a cup of tea and pushed it over.

Although he was extremely concerned about the situation in Qinling Mountains, Huang Ning, who was well versed in management, still smiled warmly and said to Lu Liang with concern:

"We haven't been able to contact you these days, and we are all very worried."

"I originally planned to send people to Qinling to look for him, but I didn't expect that the company and the Ten Boss's people were guarding the entrance—"

Huang Ning's voice suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and his expression changed instantly.

He looked at Lu Liang with a look of doubt and uncertainty, and asked:

"Liu Jian, all the entrances there are blocked. How did you get out?"

"Of course it's because——"

Lu Liang gave Huang Ning a sunny smile.

The next moment, the devouring sac in his hand flashed, and a corpse appeared at Huang Ning's feet.

Huang Ning subconsciously looked down, but was so shocked that he stood up suddenly.

"This...this...this is..."

The corpse had a purple face and was a little swollen. It looked like it had died of poisoning.

But these are not the point!

The point is - he knew the identity of this corpse, it was Liu Jian whom he sent to Qinling Mountains.

But if the person lying on the ground was Liu Jian, then who was the person sitting in front of him?
Huang Ning's whole body tensed up instantly, and every muscle was on alert.

His eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at Lu Liang.
