Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 221 Completely Abolish the Eight Extraordinary Techniques
Perhaps it was the change in the Tang Sect's structure that caused a slight change in the entire world of supernatural beings across the continent.

The butterfly effect occurred, and Chen Feng's actions caused the original trajectory of events to change inexplicably.

Upon seeing Liu Zhenguo appear ahead, even Zhang Zhiwei sensed something unusual. His bright, restrained eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to pick up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

The person in front of me is very different; the aura emanating from him is truly extraordinary.

Liu Zhenguo and Zhang Zhiwei had never heard of the name Quanzhen Longmen, although he was quite familiar with the people of the Quanzhen School.

Zhang Zhiwei had some connections with the most senior members of the Quanzhen Sect, but this person was not among them, clearly a rogue cultivator from Quanzhen.

Even so, Zhang Zhiwei dared not underestimate his opponent, because the strange feeling emanating from Liu Zhenguo was even stronger than the aura emanating from the old Taoist masters of Quanzhen.

This feeling, barring any unforeseen circumstances, likely indicates that one's sexual cultivation has reached a very high level.

Before he could continue thinking, Liu Zhenguo had already introduced himself and bowed.

"Liu Zhenguo of Quanzhen Longmen greets everyone present. You are all important figures from various forces, and we will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will do me a favor."

This action revealed his face in its entirety to those present.

His face was very pale, and his features were somewhat strange. At first glance, he looked ethereal, but after staring at him for a while, he became a little creepy and gave off an indescribable unnatural feeling.

It feels calm, like a stone that blends into its environment, yet also feels somewhat out of place in this world.

He exuded an inexplicable aura.

Upon seeing this, Lü Ci, who was sitting in his seat, chuckled softly, his only remaining eye fixed on Liu Zhenguo.

"I've heard that the Quanzhen Longmen Taoists emphasize seclusion and cultivation, and are most famous among the Quanzhen rogue cultivators."

"Master, as a disciple of Quanzhen, why must you wade into the muddy waters of the secular world?"

Wang Ai, standing to the side, smiled and echoed, "That's right, Daoist Master, you are different from us ordinary people. You focus on cultivating your character. Once you enter the secular world, everything you pursued before may vanish into nothingness."

Both of them were shrewd old foxes, and they immediately sensed something unusual about Zhao Fangxu's behavior.

Connecting this to what had happened at the Tang Sect, a bad feeling arose in their hearts.

Faced with the words of the two elders, Liu Zhenguo's expression remained unchanged, and he simply responded calmly.

"The meaning of some things in this world often only becomes apparent after the dust has settled, or even many years later. Before retiring, there is always something to do. This time, I am going to put an end to something from the past and settle the cause and effect."

"The Way has no fixed path, and the name has no fixed name. Isn't the greatest path in a person's life still just that of a 'person'? If one can also do something for the greater good of the entire continent, that would be even better."

This statement is somewhat inexplicably clever, as it doesn't directly state what the person intends to do.

After saying this, Liu Zhenguo said no more, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to Zhao Fangxu.

This action shows that the two have a very close relationship.

Liu Zhenguo was sitting right opposite Zhang Zhiwei, and Chen Feng could also see the two of them from his angle.

Based on these words and the plot of the comic, Chen Feng had already vaguely guessed some things.

Liu Zhenguo, whose given name is Zhenguo, is a name that reveals his extraordinary nature.

Currently, if the pinnacle of the Zhengyi sect is the Old Celestial Master, then the pinnacle of the Quanzhen sect is very likely Liu Zhenguo, who is standing right in front of us.

According to the information in the comic, the person in front of us has already reached the realm of Yang God.

This Yang God is not like the Yang God created by the Quanzhen masters in the anime Luo Tian Da Jiao; it may be a real Yang God.

Those that are purely yin and have no yang are ghosts.

Those that are a mixture of Yin and Yang are Yin spirits.

A being that is purely Yang and has no Yin is a Yang spirit.

The things created by those true masters can at best be called Yin spirits.

To be a bit bold, the person in front of me might not be as young as he looks; he might be some kind of old monster.

"Brother Chen, do you know who this person is?"

The one who spoke was the old Celestial Master standing to the side, but what was slightly amusing was that his voice was very low, and only Chen Feng could hear it.

It must be said that this skill is indeed impressive, using Qi to condense the voice into a single thread and accurately transmit it to a person's ear.

But it's not too difficult; the key is to have a precise grasp of Qi.

Chen Feng's lips twitched, a wisp of Qi flowed out from his body, and he responded immediately using the same method.

"Old Celestial Master, you are a Taoist, after all. If you really think about it, you are from the same system. So why are you asking me what about this murderous sect?"

With his talent and ability, once he understands how it works, it's quite easy for him to imitate.

Upon hearing this, the old master realized it was inappropriate and shook his head helplessly.

That makes sense; the other party lives abroad most of the time, how would they know about such a thing?

The next moment, Chen Feng's voice rang out again.

"Yes, I've heard people mention this before. This Master Liu isn't really part of that circle. He's spent his whole life in seclusion and doesn't know much about what's going on inside."

"I'm quite curious about how this Fatty Zhao managed to get this person to come out."

Just as the two were about to continue their discussion, a voice entered their ears.

"Gentlemen, I am just an ordinary Taoist priest. I pay homage to Lu Zu and cultivate. There is nothing special about me. There is no need for you to waste your energy on me at this time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng and Zhang Zhiwei were both taken aback, a hint of curiosity flashing in their eyes. At the same time, they looked up at Liu Zhenguo in front of them.

He didn't open his mouth, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Don't worry, I didn't hear the conversation just now. I just noticed the difference because I have quite a bit of experience with this technique."

Unlike the other two, Liu Zhenguo was very calm, and didn't even open his lips.

That's quite a skill.

Once everything had calmed down, Zhao Fangxu spoke again slowly, his expression solemn.

"Everyone, the next thing is the most important thing. I believe you are all aware of what happened to the Tang Clan, and almost everyone here knows the inside story of the Jia Shen Rebellion."

"All the chaos stems from the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Therefore, after discussions among the company's board of directors, we have decided to do everything possible to abolish the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and end them in this generation."

Immediately upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Reactions ranged from surprise and joy to indifference, disbelief, and anger…

A variety of emotions appeared on the faces of those present.

No one expected this to happen.

The moment Wang Ai, the head of the Wang family, finished speaking, he expressed his opposition. A cold look appeared on his face, and his tone was no longer as calm as before.

"Chairman Zhao, this is not a good matter for the Wang family. We went through so much trouble and lost so many people to acquire this unique skill. Do you think you can just throw it away like that?!"

"Besides, there was an agreement back then that whoever snatched the Eight Extraordinary Techniques would own them. Now, Chairman Zhao, do you want to destroy that agreement yourself?"

Lu Ci, the head of the Lu family standing beside him, also had a frosty expression, but his tone was relatively gentler.

"Chairman Zhao, this matter cannot be rushed. We need to proceed step by step. If we try to take big steps, we are bound to stumble."

Even though he was called a mad dog, Lü Ci still didn't dare to speak too aggressively, after all, he was dealing with the company.

In this situation, even Lu Jin lost his previous composure and couldn't help but speak up: "Chairman Zhao, this matter is not appropriate. If this kind of extraordinary skill is completely eradicated, it will be a great loss to the world of supernatural beings."

"I, Lu Jin, may have to object to a complete break."

He didn't care about anything else, but this promise to his brother forced him to.

Back then, due to a momentary lapse in judgment by Lu Jin, he failed to save his beloved brother Zheng Zibu in time.

At that time, Zheng Zibu was crippled and covered in blood, lying in front of him. His only wish was to pass on this extraordinary skill.

It could be said that Lu Jin, who claimed to have lived a flawless life, felt deeply guilty about the Zheng Zibu incident.

As long as Lu Jin finds Zheng Zibu, it shouldn't be too difficult to protect him with some effort, given the Lu family's prestige...

For various reasons, if Zheng Zibu's Tongtianlu were to be lost again, Lu Jin would likely be uneasy.

He has been troubled by two major problems: the successor of the Reverse Life Triple Technique and the successor of the Tongtian Talisman.

The problem of finding a successor for the Reverse Life technique has been solved; only the successor for the Tongtian Talisman remains.

At this moment, three of the Ten Elders and the heads of three of the Four Great Families expressed their clear opposition.

The four great families have a history spanning hundreds of years and have many skilled members. Their combined opinions cannot be ignored by anyone.

Immediately, no one in the room spoke up. Even Guan Shihua, who had initially wanted to express her support, frowned and chose to observe.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward.

This situation was clearly beyond Zhao Fangxu's expectations, while the reactions of Wang Ai and Lu Jin were within his expectations.

But why would Lu Ci, that mad dog, react this way? Normally, this matter has little to do with him.

It seems the information we received earlier was true. The Lü family's Soul-Clearing Technique is probably related to the Eight Extraordinary Techniques in some way, or more accurately, it is one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

Zhao Fangxu gently pushed up his glasses and spoke slowly.

"Our company is aware of and understands your attitudes, but you should also understand us, as you are all aware of the turmoil caused by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

"My position as a director of the company is not easy to manage either. The higher-ups have put a lot of pressure on me. Originally, it would have been fine to put the matter of the Eight Extraordinary Skills aside, but I didn't expect that something like Zhang Huaiyi would happen. Now the pressure is also very high. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Master Liu to come out of seclusion."

"My attitude towards you all over the past few years has been evident to all. As long as it is something within the world of supernatural beings, we will never get involved and have given you all a lot of convenience. But now, shouldn't you all do me a favor?"

As expected of a company director, his words were impeccable.

They gave him face, and the threat was also implied in the conversation; no one dared to ignore the pressure from above.

Wang Ai narrowed her eyes and spoke again: "We understand what the higher-ups mean, but at least give us some time, Chairman Zhao. Such actions are too decisive."

"The Eight Extraordinary Skills were agreed upon by everyone during the War of Resistance. At that time, all the sects contributed a lot to the victory of the War of Resistance, and countless people died. When the Jia Shen Rebellion occurred, everyone tried to resolve it as soon as possible, for fear of delaying the affairs of the country. It would be inappropriate to suddenly change our minds during this period."

He was also a cunning old fox, and took this opportunity to directly point out that he had contributed a lot to the war of resistance against Japan on the mainland, and that the agreement to seize the Eight Extraordinary Skills was tacitly agreed upon by all sects.

If this gets out, it won't be good for the company's reputation.

If you want to delay for a while, you'll have more options at that point.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fangxu nodded in agreement.

“Old Wang is right, that makes sense. I’ll talk to the higher-ups again and see if we can ease things a bit on abolishing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.”

After saying this, he paused, his tone becoming slightly more assertive, and his aura suddenly surged.

"However, shouldn't you all give me some face so I can go back and report? Well then, I'll trouble the people in my company to register all those who know the Eight Extraordinary Skills when we get back. If anyone wants to teach the Eight Extraordinary Skills, they just need to contact the company and explain the situation."

"In the future, if someone not on the register learns the Eight Extraordinary Skills, then it will be the company's turn to handle this matter."

Upon hearing this plan, Lü Ci and Wang Ai's expressions instantly turned gloomy.

Fatty Zhao has finally revealed his true intentions; this may be his real purpose.

Okay, this method is really effective.

Chen Feng picked up the tea in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Thinking of the phone call from his superiors earlier, he finally let out a soft sigh and spoke calmly.

"Yes, Chairman Zhao is right. Our Tang Clan wholeheartedly agrees with this."

The moment those words were spoken, Zhang Zhiwei immediately picked up the conversation and spoke as well.

"Our Celestial Master's Mansion also gave Chairman Zhao face and agreed to this matter."

Immediately afterwards, everyone present began to agree, even Lu Jin, who had initially opposed it, agreed after a moment of contemplation.

Guan Shihua was more than willing, after all, the Spirit Binding Technique was too much of a threat to the shamanic practitioner, and she agreed to anything that restricted the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

The others didn't care much about the Eight Extraordinary Skills, but since the company had spoken up, and even the Tang Clan and the Celestial Master's Mansion had agreed, they naturally had to give them some face.

Finally, only Lü Ci and Wang Ai have not yet spoken out.

All eyes in the room were on the two of them.

Wang Ai gripped her cane tightly, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "Alright, since everyone agrees, then my Wang family will do the same. I will go back and get started on the registration immediately."

"It's just that my Wang family spent a lot of effort and many people died trying to master this skill. Now that we're making so many sacrifices for the company's future, I hope you won't be disappointed..."
