Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 235 Preparing to Perform a Miracle Before the Public
"I understand. Fortunately, there's still an appeal. This matter can't be rushed. I'll think about it first. Wait for my news." Master Mingyu said to Master Zhiqing, and then hung up the phone.

Although Master Mingyu did not open the broadcast, everyone's cultivation was so profound that they all heard his conversation with Master Zhiqing.

"Changyi has no experience, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself," Master Mingyu shook his head.

Master Shenhao comforted him, “You can’t say that. Changyi helped his classmate exorcise evil spirits and did not make baseless accusations without evidence. This shows that he is upright, clear-headed, and kind-hearted. He is a rare and outstanding young man.”

"Not bad, not bad, everyone has a youthful past." Master Yansong also comforted him with a smile, "You should be secretly happy to have such a successor."

Master Mingyu sighed, "Fortunately, we have the sect leader, otherwise Changyi's matter would have been quite troublesome."

The Celestial Master's Mansion is not to be trifled with. There are not many Taoists in the country who have cultivated true internal energy, not to mention that the Celestial Master's Mansion is the leading force in the Southern Taoist sect. If the system is mobilized, Changyi will most likely be fine, but the cost will certainly be considerable.

"What does Senior Brother plan to do?" Master Yihong asked.

"Let's finish tomorrow's work first. If all else fails, I'll make a trip to Citibank." Master Mingyu waved his hand.

What might have been a hassle before is no longer a hassle at all. As long as he finds Eric, whether he releases the Heavenly Warriors or unleashes a Palm Thunder attack, it will be enough to make Eric submit.

The old Taoist priests laughed upon hearing this, and naturally had no worries.

Master Yihong thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Zhao and asked, "Sect Leader, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Zhao was taken aback. "What am I thinking?"

Master Shenhao raised a white eyebrow, understanding Master Yihong's meaning. "Brother Yihong, do you mean we should take this opportunity to establish our authority?"

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Wear the flag? Show off in front of everyone?"

Master Yihong stroked his beard and pondered, "But in doing so, we would be exposing ourselves, and those with ulterior motives would come knocking on our door."

"Even if they're exposed, what can they do?" Master Jingfeng chuckled strangely. "Those who come looking for trouble aren't being killed indiscriminately; they're just courting death."

Those who follow the Dao cultivate their Dao and their minds. It is unacceptable to indiscriminately kill the innocent, but they will not willingly suffer injustice. If an ordinary person is blind, their Daoist heart will not be tarnished, whether they are given a slight punishment or killed and their soul destroyed.

Master Shenhao frowned and added, "But if he were to display his divine power in public, even if not many people believed him, the impact would likely be significant, and it might even spark a surge of interest in Taoism within the country."

Master Yansong chuckled and said, "It's not a big problem. We'll be exposed sooner or later anyway. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. Besides, there are already all sorts of mystical videos online. Once we're exposed, they can finally relax."

Master Shenhao asked, puzzled, "Why are we bound to be exposed sooner or later?"

Gu Zhao explained, "Because the number of Thunder Seeds is increasing, sooner or later they will be able to take away all the Taoists in the country who have cultivated internal energy. However, with such a large population in our country, there are actually many talented people who have never cultivated Taoism."

Master Shenhao understood, “That’s why we need new people to join us. If we can attract talented people to cultivate the Dao by showing our divine power in front of others, it will be a good thing for us.”

Daoist Yansong nodded, "That's right. To be able to cultivate true qi in a place with scarce spiritual energy is a sign of exceptional talent. With the Thunder Seed examining one's character, there's nothing to worry about in the future."

Master Qingyuan said worriedly, "But exposure also has its downsides. If those people have no bottom line, won't it implicate our relatives and friends?"

Master Yihong narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them. "Then we'll see if they have the guts."

Daoist Yansong laughed and said, "Brother Qingyuan, you are overthinking it. They may be bad, but they are definitely not stupid. Besides, our relatives and friends all have golden bracelets to protect them. Even a truly stupid person cannot harm them."

Master Qingyuan nodded knowingly.

Master Shenhao looked at Master Mingyu and asked, "You have a meeting tomorrow morning. Is a day and a night enough?"

Master Mingyu nodded and joked, "I guess I'll have time to come back for breakfast."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Let me ask where Changyi is being held, and where his parents are now." Master Mingyu picked up his phone again and dialed Master Zhiqing's number. "Uncle-Master?" Master Zhiqing asked curiously, wondering why Master Mingyu had called back so quickly.

"Where is Changyi being held, and where are his parents?" Master Mingyu asked.

"Changyi is being held in the Berkeley Municipal Jail in California. Brother Wang and his group found a hotel in Berkeley to stay in."

"Specific location."

"Um... at the Albec Hotel on 17th Street in Berkeley."

Gu Zhao opened the map on his phone, found the two locations, and starred and saved them.

"Do you know the specifics of Eric's family?" Master Mingyu asked.

“I know.” Daoist Zhiqing nodded. “Brother Wang told me that Eric’s full name is Eric Calvin.”

The Calvin family is one of the largest ranchers in Northern California. Besides a food conglomerate, their main businesses include the Calvin Biotech Group, a pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, as well as a foundation and investment firm.

Master Mingyu snorted coldly, "They have quite a bit of influence, no wonder they dared to frame Changyi."

"That's why the lawyer said the situation isn't optimistic!" Master Zhiqing said in a deep voice. "Brother Wang told me to just agree to Eric's conditions and then find a chance to escape back."

"No!" Master Mingyu rebuked, "Cultivation is about cultivating the mind. If Changyi accepts this, he can forget about making any progress in the future."

Master Zhiqing thought the same thing, "So I didn't agree. I told him that you were still trying to find a solution, and if all else failed, we could ask the Taoist Association to step in. Changyi will be fine."

“Changyi will certainly be fine.” Master Mingyu smiled faintly and said, “I will go to the United States now and bring Changyi and his parents back.”

"Huh?" Master Zhiqing was taken aback.

He knew the abilities of Gu Zhao and Daoist Mingyu. Daoist Mingyu had personally demonstrated the Golden Light Divine Mantra that day, and he had also witnessed the power of the Golden Gang Bracelet. Naturally, he knew how formidable Daoist Mingyu was.

Although he was still a little apprehensive, he didn't dare to object since Master Mingyu had spoken. He simply asked, "Shall I book you a flight to San Francisco?"

"No need," Master Mingyu refused again. "Going there by plane won't serve its purpose of establishing authority."

Master Zhiqing didn't understand, "Establish authority?"

But Master Mingyu didn't intend to explain to him. He simply said, "Do you have information on Eric and the Calvin family? If not, have Changyi's lawyer send you a copy and then send it to me."

“Alright!” Master Zhiqing nodded.

"Hurry up, I need it now." Master Mingyu hung up the phone, looked up at everyone and said, "It's not a big deal, I can make the trip myself."

At this point, Master Mingyu laughed and said, "Trying to hide it might be a bit troublesome, but establishing authority is too easy."

The old Taoists had no objection. They had already defeated the White Bone God Lord, who had cultivated for over a thousand years, by joining forces. If they needed several of them to deal with a mere mortal family, that would be giving them too much credit.

"I'll go with my martial uncle," Gu Zhao said with a smile. "I'll keep an eye on him, and if we really need people, we can go back to the Great Luo Palace to call for reinforcements."

Master Yansong laughed and said, "Alright, alright, then let's go back to the Daluo Palace and wait for news."

Just then, Master Mingyu's phone vibrated; it was Master Zhiqing sending over various documents.

Gu Zhao stood up. "Then let's set off."
