Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 290 Retracing the Path

After Master Mingyu returned to Da Luo Palace with Master Yanqi, the two continued their chivalrous adventures in the mountains. In any case, with Master Mingchong staying behind at Da Luo Palace, they were not short of contacts.

In the days that followed, Gu Zhao heard one piece of good news after another.

First, Master Yuzhang has achieved a breakthrough.

Secondly, Wasp Valley was wiped out by several old Taoists working together. The endless wasps were burned to ashes by Master Yansong's Taiyi Wind and Fire, and the queen bee and several bee demons were also killed by the old Taoists.

Third, the Tianjue Society held the Autumn Tianjue Grand Ceremony, which was also a ceremony that used living people as sacrifices to refine magic. The old Taoists directly displayed their power during the ceremony and executed the leader of the Tianjue Society on the spot.

As a result, the largest power in Qianshan Prefecture collapsed. With the help of Xu Jingyue and his wife, they appeased some other small forces in Qianshan Prefecture that were not malicious. Then, the headquarters of the Tianjue Society in Qianshan Prefecture was renamed Da Luo Temple.

Then came the fourth: several ghosts who had a relationship with Xu Jing and his wife and had never done evil went to Da Luo Temple to pay homage to the mountain, wanting to build a temple in the countryside and collect incense offerings.

The Taoist lineage has never been afraid of competition, especially when it comes to ghosts and gods without any malevolent energy. So, after they promised to help the people and protect the local area, two small forces emerged in Qianshan Prefecture, similar to Bishuitan in Baishi Prefecture.

Thus, Changping Prefecture, Baishi Prefecture, and the new Qianshan Prefecture gradually formed a power structure with Daluo Palace at the head and other satellite forces surrounding it.

This is a normal pattern. Just like Yongzhou Chaoyang Island is undoubtedly number one, and it is said that the island's ancestor is a master of the same generation as the Great Sage of the Spirit Court, but that does not prevent other forces from establishing their own sects in Yongzhou.

Because of this series of good news, the number of thunder seeds surrounding Gu Zhao's Five Thunder Order directly increased to seven.

"Seven stars aligned!" Gu Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, his life becoming more and more prosperous.

Just a few days ago, Li Qingshuang also left the Daluo Palace, so Gu Zhao planned to go to the modern world and bring a few more people back.

……

The autumn air is crisp and clear, but unfortunately, this phrase doesn't apply to Guangzhou.

The sun was still shining brightly, and the warm breeze carried heat, offering none of the coolness of autumn, but rather a lingering warmth of summer.

Therefore, Gu Zhao could still see the slender waists and dazzling white legs of young women on the street, as well as many envious glances when they looked at him.

Yes, anyone who is accompanied by two top beauties will attract envious glances, not to mention that Gu Zhao is also a tall and handsome young man.

Jiang Shishi held her head high and didn't care at all. She even became more proud when she encountered the curious glances of other beauties.

Xiao Ya was a little shy, but because she had just finished exercising and her legs were still a bit weak, plus she was wearing high heels, she had to hold onto Gu Zhao's arm for support.

"Revisiting this place, hehe!"

Looking up at the three characters "Yuanfa Palace" on the mountain gate archway, Jiang Shishi smiled and said, "We first met here."

Xiao Ya smiled and nodded, recalling the scene when the three of them first met.

"I still remember that there was this idiot who couldn't stand you showing off, so he deliberately challenged you," Jiang Shishi chuckled.

Gu Zhao shook his head and chuckled. At that time, he had just gained magical powers and was in a hurry. He couldn't wait for the yellow paper he ordered online to arrive, so he rushed to Yuanfa Palace to buy yellow paper and cinnabar, which resulted in a little commotion.

Yeah, in a bad mood, I even smashed the other person's car.

However, lightning strikes are covered by car insurance, so he suffered no personal injury or property damage. It just caused some trouble, and his old car wouldn't fetch a good price.

It must be said that Taoists are quite kind; they always do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and punish others severely as a warning.

Blessings are immeasurable!

Just then, a BMW 3 Series turned from the nearby intersection and parked in a roadside parking space. A young man and his girlfriend got out of the car and walked hand in hand toward Yuanfa Palace. Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence!

With nothing else to do, Xiao Ya, Jiang Shishi, and I retraced our steps, and by sheer coincidence, we ran into the very person who had brought us closer together.

Human intuition is quite sharp; when Gu Zhao looked at the young man, the young man also looked at Gu Zhao.

Although a year and a half had passed, a conflict had occurred, and the young man's memory was obviously good; he recognized Gu Zhao at a glance as well.

"Holy shit?" The young man's temper hadn't changed; he instinctively swore.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi noticed Gu Zhao's actions and followed his gaze, looking slightly surprised.

If they had run into this young man elsewhere, they might not have recognized him at all. But since they had just talked about this matter, they vaguely remembered him and recognized him when they met face to face.

Xiao Ya's mouth opened slightly, "What a coincidence?"

Jiang Shishi looked at the young man with a half-smile, "It's quite a coincidence."

When the young man saw Gu Zhao, he also noticed the two women beside him. Upon closer inspection, he remembered that these two women were the cause of his conflict with Gu Zhao.

"Holy crap!" The young man's curse turned into an exclamation this time, especially when he saw Jiang Shishi holding Gu Zhao's hand and Xiao Ya holding Gu Zhao's arm.

His girlfriend, however, had already forgotten about the incident. Hearing her boyfriend swearing incessantly, she couldn't help but tug at him, "What's wrong?"

"Damn it, it's the Joker!"

The young man's lips twitched, and he refused to take another step forward. In this situation, unless he went up and beat the man up, he would only embarrass himself.

"Go home!" The young man turned and walked away.

"Didn't we say we'd get a peace charm for our parents?" his girlfriend asked.

"I'm not asking anymore!" The young man shook off his girlfriend's hand, turned around abruptly, and because the movement was too sudden, he bumped into someone walking by.

"oh my god!"

The young man hit a foreigner, who appeared to be older.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" the young man's girlfriend hurriedly apologized.

"Can't you watch where you're going?" the young man said with a shrug, showing no remorse, before pulling his girlfriend away.

The foreigner's eyes flickered, and he reached out and grabbed the young man's arm.

"What are you doing?" the young man shouted, raising his eyebrows. "Trying to stage an accident? Let go!"

The foreigner smiled slightly and then let go.

The young man didn't see that right where the foreigner had just grabbed his arm, a bluish handprint flashed by, making him suddenly feel a chill in the otherwise hot weather.

But the young people couldn't sense it, while Gu Zhao felt it clearly.

Normally, he doesn't use his divine sense, and the foreigner keeps his magic power hidden, so it's impossible for anyone to detect him. But now that he's casting a spell, the fluctuations in his aura are clearly visible.
