Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 144 Zuo Ruotong's Disappearance

"Use the profound technique again?"

Zuo Ruotong was slightly taken aback, then a helpless smile appeared on her face.

"I'm sorry, Zhao Zhen, I don't want to, and there's no need to, discuss this matter."

"why?"

"Over the years, I have maintained the Reverse Life Technique, not because of any diligent cultivation, but because of the hidden dangers left over from when I was trying to break through to the second level. In order to save my life, I have no choice but to do so."

I originally thought that the ball on my head would become a second head when I broke through the triple barrier, but after yesterday I realized that the ball is still a ball, and I am still me.

"Zhao Zhen, is there any point in me continuing to contest this ball?"

"Left Goalkeeper, I know you feel much more at ease now that you've let go of this ball, but have you considered how the Sanyi Goalkeeper will cope without you as their leader?"

"After I die, there will naturally be someone to succeed me as the head of the sect."

As for how the Sanyi Sect should conduct itself, there is no need to worry at all. Although the threefold path cannot reach the heavens, the mystery of the reversed threefold path is still obvious to all.

The Sanyi Sect will remain the Sanyi Sect; it simply no longer needs to identify itself as the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect).

Faced with Zuo Ruotong's answers, Zhao Zhen simply shook his head slowly.

"Master Zuo, your realm has already transcended the ordinary and entered sainthood, so you can naturally easily let go of the shackles brought by past glory, but what about others?"
You witnessed everything Senior Si Chong did today. Do you think he would be as open-minded about this matter as you are?

After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Zuo Ruotong fell into a long silence.

Zuo Ruotong knew her junior brother's temperament all too well.

He could never give up the glory of the Sanyi Sect, nor could he ever abandon his identity as a member of the Xuanmen.

This has nothing to do with personal greed. It is because of the fact that if the reputation of Trinity is ruined in their generation, wouldn't they be ashamed to face their ancestors after death?

Seeing that Zuo Ruotong's resolve was finally wavering, Zhao Zhen pressed his advantage and continued:

"Master Zuo, whether the Sanyi Sect will continue to consider itself a Xuanmen sect in the future is another matter for now, but don't forget one thing: Senior Si Chong and the others witnessed the entire process of how you broke through to the third level..."

"What do you mean?"

Zuo Ruotong frowned upon hearing this.

"You have an obsession with the Triple Realm. Could it be that Senior Si Chong, who also started from childhood and cultivated the Triple Realm of Reverse Life his whole life, has no obsession with the Triple Realm?"
The other disciples might not have noticed anything amiss in that battle, but I can guarantee that with Senior Si Chong and Senior Brother Cheng Zhen's level of cultivation, they definitely discovered that Wu Gensheng's Divine Spirit was the key to your advancement to the third level, Sect Leader Zuo!

"You mean, after I die, they'll go after Wugensheng?"

“That’s inevitable,” Zhao Zhen replied directly.

What makes you so sure?

"Master Zuo, when I was a guest at the Celestial Master's Mansion years ago, Celestial Master Zhang told me about the requirements that the Celestial Master's Mansion had for its disciples. Would you like to hear about them?"

"You said."

"We who cultivate ourselves should hold ourselves to the standards of saints, but we should also look at others with the eyes of ordinary people."

"Fan's vision..." Zuo Ruotong murmured softly.

"May I ask, Master Zuo, do you still stand by what you promised me before Wugensheng came up the mountain?"

Zuo Ruotong gave Zhao Zhen a deep look, especially after seeing the blood-soaked robes on Zhao Zhen's body. A hint of guilt appeared in her eyes, and she then let out a long sigh.

"Of course it counts." Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that under his combined offensive of playing the victim and making promises, Zuo Ruotong's heart was finally beginning to waver!

"Very well, then please, Master Zuo, continue to practice your profound skills for another month. After a month, everything will naturally become clear."

Time will tell whether what I said today is true or false.

"A month... Fine, I'll do as you say and play for another month."

As she spoke, white true qi surged around Zuo Ruotong, and her originally aged body gradually regained its youth.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I don't need to do anything, I just need you, Master Zuo, to accompany me to a place."

Swish!
As the golden light inside the cave gradually faded, the vast cave fell into a deathly silence once more.

……

The next day, seeing that a whole day had passed without any movement from the back mountain, Chengzhen, knowing his master's condition, finally couldn't hold back any longer and returned to the cave in the back mountain.

But when he arrived at the cave on the back mountain, Chengzhen was instantly dumbfounded.

Not only Zhao Zhen, but even his own master had vanished without a trace inside the cave.

Although she was a little flustered at first, Chengzhen regained her composure in the shortest amount of time.

He knew that with his master's cultivation level, even if Zhao Zhen possessed the Golden Escape Technique, he could never take him away silently if he himself did not wish to.

But in this situation, why did Master disappear along with Zhao Zhen?
After much deliberation, Chengzhen ultimately decided not to spread the news of Zuo Ruotong's disappearance. Instead, she immediately went to her uncle Sichong, who was still reflecting on his mistakes, and told him everything.

"What?! My senior brother is missing! Damn it, I knew that little bastard was up to no good!"

Upon learning all this, Si Chong immediately flew into a rage.

"Uncle-Master, the most pressing issue right now isn't Zhao Zhen, but Master's sudden disappearance. How are we going to explain this to the other members of the sect?"

The sect has just undergone a major upheaval in the past two days, and the entire Sanyi Sect is in a state of panic.

At this crucial moment, Zuo Ruotong, the backbone of the Sanyi Sect, suddenly disappeared. If the other members of the sect find out, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause!

Si Chong took a deep breath, and suddenly recalled the scene in his mind where he and Cheng Zhen had begged Zuo Ruotong to use his profound skills again, but were ultimately rejected by Zuo Ruotong.

Senior brother, could it be that you were the one who instructed Zhao Zhen to do all of this behind the scenes?

Did you know I would fight tooth and nail to stop you from telling the truth to your disciples, which is why you ultimately chose to leave without saying goodbye?
Senior brother, why did you have to do this...?

Thinking of this, Si Chong also closed his eyes with a pained expression.

He knew that his senior brother must have been forced into doing this by him.

But all he did was not want to let down the ancestors of the Sanyi Sect, and not want Sanyi to be completely destroyed in their generation...

"Uncle-Master, should we go find Master secretly now?"

A moment later, Si Chong slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of determination gradually flashed in his pained gaze.

"No, there's no need to look for it."
