Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 231 Killing for life is a matter of course
Looking at the white-clad youth at the head of the group, Xu Si's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he gestured.

"Baby, do you see that? That young man in white leading the group is Chen Feng, the vice-leader of the Tang Clan. Although he's only a vice-leader, everyone in the circle knows that he's the real person in charge of the Tang Clan, and also the face of the Tang Clan."

"Furthermore, although Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei is universally acknowledged as a peerless master, many people also know that this face of the Tang Clan is no less powerful than the Celestial Master, and may even surpass him. If you encounter him in the future, you must treat him with utmost care."

Upon hearing this, Xu San nodded and adjusted his glasses.

“Bao’er, you must be careful. I’ve heard from the seniors that this person has a very sharp eye and super strong perception. Be careful to hide yourself and don’t let him notice anything unusual.”

His father, Xu Xiang, had previously warned the two of them that this Tang Clan leader was the most dangerous person in the world of supernatural beings.

Feng Baobao nodded solemnly, gave an OK sign, and her eyes gleamed with what seemed like wisdom.

"Don't worry, Third Brother and Fourth Brother, I may look a little silly, but I'm actually incredibly clever."

Just then, Chen Feng, who was walking towards them, seemed to sense something and turned to look at the three of them.

Those eyes remained calm as always, revealing no emotion.

But that one glance was enough to make the three of them feel something different, as if they had been seen through and had nowhere to hide.

Xu Si's expression stiffened, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "He really is an old monster. His perception is really strong. He noticed it after just a few glances?"
Although his mind was in turmoil, he still managed to put on a kind and ingratiating smile.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao would appear here.

Xu San and Xu Si are not worth taking too seriously; they are regional leaders, although they have some power and status in the world of supernatural beings.

But that wasn't enough for Chen Feng.

Feng Baobao is quite interesting. According to the plot of the comic, it has been confirmed that she is the daughter of Wugensheng Feng Yao, and is suspected to be a product of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

If it were any other time, he would probably use some means to investigate, but not now, Chen Feng has more important things to do.

Seeing the three approaching, the Tang Clan members around them instantly felt reassured and began to speak.

"Sect Leader, we demand an explanation for this!!"

"Yes, so what if it's Longhu Mountain? Even if he's a disciple of the Celestial Master, he can't get away with killing our Tang Clan members."

"Chief, we'll listen to you. We'll do our best to cooperate with whatever method you suggest for handling this matter."

Although they were furious, they did not lose their composure. Facing the prestigious Chen Feng, the disciples gradually calmed down and placed their expectant gazes on him.

After carefully scanning the three corpses, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. He then said to Tang Miaoxing beside him, "Miaoxing, I heard Zhang Wang say that the whole incident was under surveillance. Show me the surveillance video from back then."

The present era is not much different from the previous one. All kinds of high-tech methods have emerged. Technologies like surveillance are even more powerful than the special abilities of some skilled individuals.

Although the information from surveillance footage may not be entirely accurate, it can at least serve as a reference.

Upon hearing this, Tang Miaoxing waved his hand, and immediately a disciple wearing glasses came out, holding a large screen.

The company has firmly blocked and prohibited the dissemination of this video, as it involves two major forces.

However, with the intervention of Director Tang Ming, the video was transmitted to the Tang Clan the moment the incident occurred.

With a tap of the finger, the video started playing.

In a very ordinary alley, Tang Wenlong and his two companions were walking and chatting when they came across a smiling man at a corner.

At first, the three were somewhat wary, but the moment they saw the other person's face, they relaxed. The other person was Zhao Huanjin, a disciple of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

The four then talked for a while, appearing quite peaceful.

But just as the two groups were leaving, Zhao Huanjin suddenly turned around, his smiling expression turning strange, and he arrived behind Tang Wenlong and the other two at an extremely fast speed.

Bah! ! !
A piercing sound came from the video, followed by a flash of lightning, which was none other than the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Faced with this sudden attack, none of the three were able to react before their bodies were pierced through.

Fortunately, Tang Wenlong quickly regained his senses, endured the pain, and desperately activated the Earth Flow Pillar, tumbling away.

But the next moment, Zhao Huanjin moved with lightning speed and appeared in front of him in an instant. Without any mercy, he raised his hand and slapped down on Tang Wenlong's head.

Blood immediately flowed from his seven orifices, and he died instantly from the blow.

After doing all this, the fourth disciple of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion suddenly came to his senses, looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and showed a look of horror. Then, as if he sensed someone approaching, he hurriedly ran away.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Baobao appeared, glanced at the three corpses on the ground, took out her phone, and made a call...

The video ends here.

All the disciples present remained silent, waiting for Chen Feng to give his answer.

Yang Lie watched the scene in the video, took a deep breath, and asked, "So? Did you figure anything out?"

Chen Feng reached out and slid his hand across the video's progress bar, reviewing several key scenes before carefully glancing at the three corpses of the gatekeepers on the ground.

"Yes, that's right. The injuries on these bodies are definitely from the Five Thunder Orthodox Technique of Longhu Mountain, there's no mistake."

Having sparred with Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi several times, Chen Feng was quite familiar with the thunder techniques of Longhu Mountain. He might be able to imitate them using the Qi Source Flow.

Based on the situation in the video, it can be concluded that the murderer was Zhao Huanjin, the fourth disciple of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

Moreover, judging from the video, it is highly likely that Zhao Huanjin is being controlled by some kind of magic.

However, there is no doubt that he committed murder.

Through careful observation, Chen Feng could not determine whether this highly skilled disciple from Longhu Mountain was being controlled by the Double-Handed Technique.

After considering all this, he turned to Tang Miaoxing beside him and asked again, "You should have asked Tang Ming about the company's attitude towards this matter."

Upon hearing this, Tang Miaoxing immediately responded: "The company's board of directors is also discussing this, and they haven't made a decision yet. Their main point right now is for both sides to negotiate and try to avoid a major conflict."

Clearly, this situation is quite tricky for the company, as both sides are powerful entities, making it very difficult to handle.

At this moment, Zhang Wang glanced at the three corpses on the ground, his face solemn: "Senior brother, what should we do? We must make Longhu Mountain give us an explanation no matter what."

Now, as the most prestigious person in the Tang Clan, Chen Feng's actions determine the Tang Clan's approach and stance.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Feng raised his head, glanced at the disciples around him, and spoke calmly.

"What's there to think about? It's simple: a life for a life. Zhao Huanjin killed my Tang Clan disciples; he must die." Without a doubt, he chose the simplest and most direct method.

Don't say things like you were controlled by someone. Since Zhao Huanjin killed him, then he should pay with his life.

Being controlled is your own fault; you're not as skilled as others, so you can't blame anyone else.

Upon hearing this, all the Tang Clan members present fell silent. They knew that the killer was no ordinary person; he was the fourth disciple of the Celestial Master, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect.

They had long heard that this sect leader was always domineering, but they didn't expect him to remain so unyielding in the face of Longhu Mountain.

Seeing that the matter was settled, none of the senior executives present had any objections.

Chen Feng turned to look at Xu San and Xu Si, who were not far away, and waved to them, signaling them to come over.

Upon seeing this, Xu Si quickly stubbed out the cigarette he had just lit, ran over at top speed, and smiled.

"Oh, Master Chen, just tell me what you need. I'll do it for you as long as you ask. My father has already given me instructions. I'll need your guidance in the future."

The two men's fathers, Xu Xiang and Chen Feng, were not strangers. They had worked together for a period of time to deal with several troublesome cases involving supernatural beings.

Chen Feng chuckled lightly: "I didn't expect that Xu Xiang, such a steady person, would have a son like you. But it's not bad."

“I know why you’re waiting here. You just want to see what Tang Clan’s attitude is. I can tell you, it’s very simple: a life for a life. Go back and tell the board members. That’s my decision.”

A strange light flashed in Xu Si's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and nodded.

"Alright, Master Chen, I've got this in mind. I'll definitely talk to Chairman Zhao about it."

He was just a gofer; his job was to convey the Tang Clan's message. What happened next and how it was done was not his concern.

The news of this incident spread quietly to the major sects after it happened. Faced with the impending conflict between the two major forces, Longhu Mountain and Tang Sect, they all remained silent and awaited the outcome.

…………

Meanwhile, at Longhu Mountain.

A somber atmosphere pervaded the entire Celestial Master's Mansion, and news of recent events had reached everyone's ears.

All of the Celestial Master's disciples who were away received orders and returned to the mountains.

At this moment, inside the main hall on the mountain, all the disciples, along with Zhang Zhiwei, had gathered.

Zhao Jinhuan, the main figure in the whole affair, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face no longer calm as before, but filled with grief and pain.

In front of him, besides the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, there was also an old man with a gaunt face wearing a Taoist robe.

The old man reached out and placed his hand on Zhao Huanjin's head. In an instant, a dazzling blue light flashed, and miraculous Qi entered Zhao's head.

After an unknown amount of time, the blue Qi slowly receded.

Seeing this, Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei disregarded everything else and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Old Wang, what's the situation? Is there really anything strange?"

Old Wang, a top-level master of the Quanzhen School who has been hidden for many years, is considered the most senior member. He is highly skilled, extremely powerful in sexual cultivation, and has a deep understanding of the soul.

At the same time, he and Zhang Zhiwei have a close relationship and have been friends for many years. He has been living in seclusion for many years and only came here this time because he was entrusted with a task.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang shook his head, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and stroked his beard.

“Old Zhang, no, in my perception, there is no problem with your disciple at all, not even a flaw. Here’s what you’d like, have your disciple recount the situation as it happened, and I’ll analyze it.”

At Zhang Zhiwei's prompting, Zhao Huanjin fell into recollection and recounted the whole incident in a trembling voice.

“Master, I did see those three Tang Clan disciples. I had met Tang Wenlong once before and we only had a brief conversation. But for some reason, when I came to my senses again, I found that all three of them were dead.”

“I can assure you, Master, I am absolutely not lying to you. Everything I said is true.”

Although he was very strong-willed and had experienced a lot, this matter was obviously unexpected. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they realized that they had caused such a big mess.

Seeing his disciple's expression, Zhang Zhiwei sighed softly.

If it were someone from another sect, they might be given some leeway and some room for compromise.

But it was the Tang Clan, and he knew Chen Feng's personality well, so things probably wouldn't end well.

After careful analysis, Old Wang raised his head, his expression slightly serious, and gave his answer.

“Old Zhang, I know all the techniques in the world that can control the soul. As long as they are used, there will be traces that cannot escape my eyes. But in my perception, your disciple is perfectly normal. So there is only one possibility, and that is the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.”

"After all, we are all familiar with these eight extraordinary skills. Although they all have the potential to lead to serious consequences and prevent one from reaching the main hall, they are indeed miraculous."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, a rare hint of melancholy appearing on his face.

"Okay, Lao Wang, I'll take care of things here. I'll leave it to you this time. I'll be very busy and I'm sorry I can't entertain you any longer."

Old Wang nodded, knowing about the recent major events, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, I'll be going now. If you need any help, just call me."

After the other party left, Zhang Zhiwei remained silent for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call.

After a few rings, the call was immediately connected.

Before the other end could speak, Zhang Zhiwei preemptively spoke, his tone unusually serious and heavy.

"Lu Ci, this was done by your Lu family, wasn't it?"

The Lu family's Minghun Technique is known to all the experts who participated back then as being inextricably linked to the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

Bang!! Crack!!

A sound of something breaking came from the other side, followed by Lü Ci's voice, which was less carefree than before and more cautious and even fearful.

“Master, I can assure you that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my Lü family. How could I dare to provoke Longhu Mountain and the Tang Clan? You know that in the battle of Toutian Cave, the Tang Clan avenged my elder brother. How could I kill someone from the Tang Clan?”

Although he's a mad dog, he's not stupid. At this time, daring to provoke the Tang Clan and Longhu Mountain is simply courting death!

"Celestial Master, I am leading several of the most skilled members of my Lü family in the Soul-Brightening Technique to Longhu Mountain. We will be there soon, and I hope they will be of assistance..."
