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

Chapter 191 The Main Characters Assemble!
"Everyone, would you like to join us?"

As soon as Lü Liang finished speaking, a conflicted look appeared on Zhang Chulan's face.

He had no interest in so-called divine skills and sacred objects.

However, judging from all the signs at present, the mysterious ceremony that Wugensheng prepared back then is very likely closely related to Bao'er's background.

He wanted to help Bao'er uncover the mystery of her origins, so he couldn't avoid this matter.

But what if he really did go with Lü Liang to recreate the ritual, and it actually happened...?

Not to mention the peaceful life he had longed for, the entire world of supernatural beings will probably be thrown into turmoil because of this.

But if he chooses to give up now, then his promise to Bao'er to help find her family will likely fall through...

Zhang Chulan looked conflicted, slowly raised his eyes to look at Feng Baobao, and asked softly:

"Sister Bao'er, what do you think?"

"Ah...what do you mean, what do you think?"

Feng Baobao raised her head, blinked her eyes, and looked completely bewildered.

Zhang Chulan pointed in Lü Liang's direction, and patiently asked again in a gentle voice:
"Do you want to participate in the recreation ceremony that Brother Lü just mentioned?"

Feng Baobao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lü Liang and asked seriously:

"What kind of ceremony did you just mention? Will it help me find my family?"

"I might not be able to directly help you find your family, but at least I can let you know where you came from," Lü Liang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this answer, Feng Baobao nodded quickly without hesitation, and even raised her hand:

"Then I'll join!"

After speaking, she turned her gaze to Zhang Chulan and asked:

"Zhang Chulan, are you coming with me?"

……

Zhang Chulan was about to open his mouth to answer when Wang Ye spoke first.

"Zhang Chulan, you'd better think this through carefully."

Wang Ye's expression was unusually serious at this moment, and he gently placed the thermos cup that he always carried in his hand aside.

He stared intently at Zhang Chulan, his eyes full of dissuasion.

“Zhang Chulan, I told you during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that if you continue down this path, the peaceful life you desire will be lost.”

“You’re a smart person, and I believe you’re prepared for the price you might pay, but this brings unknown consequences to the world.”

"Zhang Chulan, have you thought about this issue?"

"I've thought about it."

Zhang Chulan's expression also turned serious. He slowly turned his gaze to Feng Baobao and said firmly:
"I've thought about it countless times, not just thought about it. I simply want to help Sister Bao'er find her past and her family!"

"That's all we want; none of us want to hurt the world."

"Old Wang, once you spend more time with Bao'er, you'll realize just how powerful she is, and how weak she is."

"She can learn any skill in the world, but she can't learn how to be a person. All of this is because she is missing something that is crucial."

Wang Ye instantly understood Zhang Chulan's meaning. He glanced at Feng Baobao, then quickly returned his gaze to Zhang Chulan, confirming:
"You mean 'the past'?"

Zhang Chulan nodded emphatically and repeated firmly, "I want to help Bao'er find it."

……

"So, Feng Baobao, what are your own thoughts?"

Wang also turned his gaze to Feng Baobao and asked seriously:
"What you crave most is to figure out your past, to understand where you came from, right?"

"Yes." Feng Baobao nodded decisively.

Seeing Feng Baobao's decisive action, Wang Ye raised his hand to rub his temples, trying to relieve the throbbing in his head from thinking, and then continued:

“Feng Baobao, if… I mean if… the price for you to understand these things is that many people will suffer misfortune as a result, and even many people will lose their lives, in that case, would you still insist on knowing your past?”

"meeting."

Feng Baobao nodded again, her answer firm and resolute.

Wang Ye was immediately speechless, and complained, "Didn't you hesitate at all?"

Feng Baobao remained calm and replied, "I won't kill anyone. I promised Gouwazi."

"I'm not saying you directly killed someone..."

He couldn't help but gesture with his hands, trying to explain it clearly.

"What I mean is, if the past you're looking for involves the interests of many people."

"Even your very existence involves huge stakes, so there could really be many people involved or even lose their lives."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Feng Baobao tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying:
"It sounds like they didn't die because of me, but because of those powerful figures..."

This answer left Wang Ye speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally gave a thumbs up with a complicated expression:
"You cow!"

"laugh--"

Seeing Wang Ye's embarrassed expression, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but burst out laughing and teased him:

"Old Wang, don't waste your energy on Bao'er. She knows exactly what she wants."

At this point, Zhang Chulan turned to look at Lü Liang and said seriously:

"Brother Lü, count me in on the ritual revival!"

“I’ll participate too.” Feng Baobao immediately raised her hand.

“Okay,” Lü Liang replied with a smile.

……

Seeing Wang Ye's unwell expression, Zhang Chulan smiled, reached out, patted Wang Ye's shoulder, and warmly comforted him:
"Old Wang, stop being so hesitant, come work with us!"

"Aren't you curious about how the Eight Extraordinary Techniques came about?"

"Besides, haven't you always been worried that we're going too far and wanted to keep an eye on us? Putting aside Bao'er and me, even with Brother Lü, can you feel at ease if you don't keep an eye on him?"

"Hehe, isn't that why you've been following Brother Lü all this time?"

"If you don't join us today, Brother Lü definitely won't take you on anymore."

"How about it? Think it over, Lao Wang!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang's lips curled up slightly, but he remained silent.

It has to be said that Zhang Chulan's ability to manipulate people is truly remarkable; he no longer needs to waste words trying to persuade Wang Ye.

Wang Ye pondered for a moment, then brushed Zhang Chulan's hand away with a look of disgust, which was taken as tacit approval of the suggestion.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lü Liang's face. He turned his gaze to Zhang Xuan and asked:
"Senior Zhang, you—"

Before Lü Liang could finish his question, Zhang Xuan spoke up without hesitation:

"I'll do anything to get the Juzi Token back!"

Lü Liang nodded and said methodically:

"Based on the information we have so far, to recreate that ritual, we need to gather eight different sacred objects, find eight disciples from sects with ancestral ancestors who have attained sainthood to guard the eight gates, and also have five special sects to assist us with the Five Elements method."

Lu Liang's gaze swept over Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye, and he continued:
“The three of us meet the requirements to guard the Eight Gates. Also, Lao Qing should be almost done with his work.”

“Baron will most likely be interested in this, and Feng Xingtong is also worth trying to get involved with. Chen Duo and Liu Yanyan also meet this requirement…”

After saying that, Lü Liang turned his gaze to Zhang Xuan again.

"As for the Five Elements method, the Mo Sect's techniques belong to 'Earth,' so Senior Zhang Xuan will be in charge."

Zhang Xuan immediately nodded in agreement.

“Gold is easy to obtain; just find someone in the Tang Clan.”

Lü Liang counted them one by one:

"As for 'wood', Ma Xianhong is definitely still alive. As for 'water', we don't have a choice yet. We need to go to the Tengshan Sect to take a look."

"In the end, there was only one 'fire' left."

"The Fire Virtue Sect? I remember there was a guy called Hong Bin at the last Luo Tian Grand Ceremony who was known as the Little Fire God. He was quite strong, but not very bright," Zhang Chulan interjected.

Lü Liang nodded and laughed, "Being brainless makes things easier."

"The Huode Sect is very important. Their sacred artifact is said to have been lost. Once things are settled in the Northeast, I'll take Zhuge Qing there for a bit. Maybe we can even kidnap someone."

Zhang Chulan nodded, his eyes shining.

It seems they are not far from recreating the ritual.

He looked up at Lü Liang, "Brother Lü, that sacred object..."

"I know about the sacred object," Lü Liang replied simply.

Before heading to the Tang Sect, he had already contacted Chen Duo, who should already be working on refining the Yin-Yang Mayfly Gu. If all goes well, it should be successfully refined within two weeks.

At that time, perhaps we can use the magical Gu worms of the Qinghe Miao tribe to lure out the Qinghe Gu Gu.

Afterwards, if we can find similar methods from other sects and acquire other sacred objects as well, that would be ideal.

If that's truly impossible, the Nine Nether Talisman of the Liu family in Xiangxi and the Eight Trigrams Formation of the Zhuge family can be considered as alternatives.

Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Lü Liang's eyes, and a faint excitement welled up in his heart.

Perhaps, it won't be long before we achieve our goal.

"Brother Lü, what are we going to do next?" Zhang Chulan asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan's gaze followed.

Lu Liang raised his hand, pointed to the demon sword, and said, "The bait is here. Let's lure out the people behind us first."

He was eager to know what role Qu Tong played in this trip to Northeast China.

Lü Liang raised his hand, gesturing for Zhang Chulan to come closer, and then gave the order:

"Zhang Chulan, you guys take the demon sword first, and then... Old Wang and I will..."

……

Two hours later.

In Shenyang, at the hotel where the Fish and Dragons Club group was staying.

There was a knock on Ishikawa Shin's door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"President Ishikawa, I am Zhang Chulan, the all-knowing one."

Shin Ishikawa opened the door and immediately saw Zhang Chulan standing in the doorway.

Just as he was about to speak, his peripheral vision caught sight of Feng Baobao standing behind Zhang Chulan, and the knife she was holding.

Ishikawa Shin raised his hand and rubbed his eyes hard, as if afraid that what he was seeing was just an illusion or that he was seeing things.

But even after rubbing his eyes until they were red and swollen, the scene before him neither disappeared nor changed.

At this moment, Ishikawa Shin could no longer hear what Zhang Chulan was saying; only one thought kept swirling in his mind—"Hiruma, Hiruma has finally been found!"

"President Ishikawa!" Zhang Chulan raised his voice, which brought Ishikawa Shin back to his senses.

At that moment, Ken Ishikawa, who was in the hotel room, also walked towards the door, asking as he went:
"Father, what happened?"

"Hiruma! It's Hiruma!"

Ishikawa Shin was so excited that he became incoherent.

At the same time, he approached Feng Baobao with a devout expression, his hands trembling as he made a gesture of offering, preparing to receive the demon sword.

However, Feng Baobao did not hand over the demon sword to him, but instead said in a serious tone:

Zhang Chulan said that this knife should not be touched carelessly, otherwise something bad will happen.

"Yes, yes, yes, Hirumaru can bewitch the mind, so we must be extremely careful."

Ishikawa Shin quickly agreed, and at the same time turned to Ishikawa Ken and shouted:

"Jian, quick! Go get the special box!"

Hearing Ishikawa Shin's urgent urging, Ishikawa Ken, standing behind, seemed to be nailed to the spot, remaining motionless.

His eyes widened, and he stared at Feng Baobao's hand with disbelief.

"Jian, what's wrong with you—"

Ishikawa Ken urged him again, while turning to look at his son.

Then, he subconsciously followed Ishikawa Ken's shocked gaze, and soon his face showed the same astonished expression as his son's.

It was only then that Ishikawa Shin suddenly realized: this usually quiet, black-haired girl had been holding Hirumaru with her bare hands the whole time, without even wearing gloves.

Why are you looking at me?

Feng Baobao keenly noticed Ishikawa Shin's strange gaze and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"You actually managed to pick up this knife? How did you do that?" Ishikawa Shin's face was full of excitement, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"I just... reached out and picked it up."

Feng Baobao remained calm and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she were recounting an ordinary, everyday event.

Shin Ishikawa's gaze slowly moved upwards, from the demon sword to Feng Baobao's face, his eyes full of searching, trying to find something unusual.

Feng Baobao looked back at her with clear eyes.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with it..."

Standing behind, Ken Ishikawa couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his words filled with undisguised astonishment.

At this moment, Ishikawa Shin finally came to his senses and anxiously shouted to Feng Baobao:

"Danger! Put the leech ball down right now!"

"Oh."

Feng Baobao responded and decisively let go.

With a loud clang, the demon sword fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Ishikawa Shin was even more dumbfounded.

"You...you just let Hiruma go like that?"

"Didn't you tell me to put it down?" Feng Baobao said, looking somewhat bewildered.

Ishikawa Shin was already somewhat numb with shock.

He swallowed hard, his hand trembling as he pointed to the demon sword on the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"I know my request is absurd, but could you please pick up Hirumaru again?"

"Oh." Feng Baobao bent down to pick up the demon sword, then continued to look at Ishikawa Shin with clear eyes.

"Why is she unaffected by Hirumaru..." Ken Ishikawa murmured from behind, "What's going on?"

At this moment, Ishikawa Shin's gaze towards Feng Baobao had already taken on a hint of admiration.

……

"What's all this noise about so late at night?"

Because of the commotion, the doors of the adjacent rooms also opened one after another.

Xu Xin and Lü Ci came out of the same room. Lü Ci had just cursed when his gaze was drawn to the knife in Feng Baobao's hand. He frowned and asked:
"This is a demon sword?! Zhang Chulan, where did you find it?"

“It’s in the dense forest not far from that cave,” Zhang Chulan replied calmly. “President Zhao repeatedly reminded me about this, and I was really worried, so I took Sister Bao’er to search the area around the cave carefully again.”

"Then, we found the knife behind a tree, and we didn't dare to delay, so we quickly brought it back."

"However, I'm not sure if this is a demon sword, so I came to have it identified by Chairman Ishikawa first."

"that's it!"

Lu Ci said decisively, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, as did Xu Xin.

Zhang Chulan silently observed all of this.

He noticed that Old Zhang, who came out of another room, had his eyes lowered, making it impossible to see his expression, but his body seemed to be trembling slightly with excitement.

Zhang Chulan lowered his gaze slightly and subtly withdrew his eyes.

At this moment, Ishikawa Shin had taken a rectangular wooden box from Ishikawa Ken.

He opened the wooden box and took out a tool that resembled pliers. Then, he carefully used the tool to grip the hilt of the demon sword and steadily put it back into the wooden box.

The moment the demon sword was sheathed, the tense expression on Ishikawa Shin's face vanished instantly, replaced by joy.

He hugged the wooden box tightly, bowed deeply to Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Xu Xin, Lü Ci, and the others, and said sincerely:

"The Ishikawa family will forever remember everyone's help!"

Lu Ci waved his hand dismissively and said, "Stop with the nonsense."

Zhang Chulan didn't speak, only smiled, glancing at Old Zhang beside him out of the corner of his eye.

It seemed that Old Zhang was planning to sneak away.

Just then, Zhang Chulan spoke up loudly, "Now that the demon sword has been found, why don't we discuss how to deal with it now, so as not to delay and cause any unforeseen problems?"

"Brother Zhang," Zhang Chulan called out, "The company needs to make detailed records. As the representative of the Northeast region, you can participate in the discussion with us."

Old Zhang paused, then agreed.

"it is good."
