Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 195 The Chaos Begins

"Okay, you're right. I do seem to have been too hesitant in my actions these past few years."

"That's right, just do it! Why think so much!"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Now that things have come to this, there's no use thinking about it too much. The most urgent task is to do everything possible to protect Duanmu Ying, who saved my life, during the upcoming Jia Shen Rebellion. As for the remaining Eight Extraordinary Skills...

In any case, the company will eventually have to spend manpower and effort to take back this disruptive tactic, so let's control it as soon as possible before it spreads too far.

Of course, Zhao Zhen was also aware that such a miraculous skill with unpredictable and supernatural abilities would definitely cause a scramble for it throughout the entire world of supernatural beings.

Even though Na Du Tong's power is growing stronger every day, it still seems somewhat insignificant compared to those established powers.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Zhao Zhen never intended to recover all eight extraordinary skills on his own.

We'll collect as many as we can, just to lighten the load for future recycling work.

There's no need to force those things that can't be accepted.

On the other hand, Wugensheng really did find something incredible!

Unexpectedly, in the "What is a Man" cave, besides the alchemy legacy left by Alchemy Ancestor Zhang Boduan, there was another "hidden treasure".

It's a pity that I missed out on it back then.

However, judging from Wugensheng's current actions, Zhao Zhen guessed that the conditions for opening this "hidden treasure" must be extremely harsh, far beyond what Wugensheng alone could accomplish.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to select "helpers."

Could it be that the real secret buried in that cave is really related to the legendary "immortal"?
After all, only gods can probably bring the dead back to life.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen actually had a thought of going to the Valley of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

But the moment that thought appeared, Zhao Zhen immediately extinguished it.

"What a close call! How could I have had such a thought?!"

A few beads of cold sweat appeared on Zhao Zhen's forehead.

Knowing full well that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley is now almost a dead end, why would he still think of taking the risk?

"That makes sense. The reason why those thirty-five people agreed to this sworn brotherhood, which everyone with eyes could see was going to cause trouble, was probably because Wugensheng took them to the Valley of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms."

Having witnessed this incredible skill firsthand and found what appears to be the legacy of an immortal, how many people could truly refuse such an opportunity?

With my current level of composure, I'm probably close to saying goodbye to Feng Hou Qi Men, right?

After a self-deprecating laugh, Zhao Zhen gently patted the little fox Hutu's head.

"what?"

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

"I haven't finished eating yet!"

"Eat when you get back. When we get back, I'll have them build a special ancestral hall for you, and treat you like the Gao family does!"

"really?"

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you!"

A few days later, Yu Yang delivered a letter to Zhao Zhen's desk.

"Chairman Zhao, something has happened."

Seeing Yu Yang's solemn expression, Zhao Zhen calmly opened the letter in front of her.

The letter was very simple, just about the oath of brotherhood of the thirty-six thieves, and included a list of the thirty-six thieves.

"So it has finally begun..."

Zhao Zhen sighed and then threw the letter in his hand into the stove to burn.

"Chairman Zhao, it's not just us; this letter has been delivered to almost all the major powers as well."

The entire world of supernatural beings is in an uproar. The list is full of outstanding disciples from various sects who have actually become sworn brothers with the leader of the Quanxing Sect. Moreover, there are even disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion on the list!

I heard that many sect leaders are currently on their way to the Celestial Master's Mansion, wanting the Celestial Master to take the lead in purging these sect traitors! "Let the Celestial Master's Mansion take the lead?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

"How could they come up with such a thing? Everyone in the world of supernatural beings knows that the Celestial Master's Mansion is known for protecting its own, especially this generation of Celestial Masters."

"To think that the Celestial Master would lead the way in punishing his beloved disciple is a pipe dream!"

"After all, as the leader of the Zhengyi sect, it's normal for the Celestial Master's Mansion to force the old Celestial Master to make a statement first."

"Don't worry about them. Anyway, none of our All-Knowing employees are among these thirty-six thieves. Just have someone keep an eye on the reactions of all parties."

By the way, have you arranged all the personnel I asked you to assign?

"Don't worry, Chairman Zhao, it's already been arranged." Yu Yang nodded.

"Hmm, is there any news about Duanmu Ying?"

"After we came out of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley, our men saw her heading southeast, probably to return to Jishetang."

Judging from Miss Duanmu's appearance, she probably doesn't know that the list of the Thirty-Six Thieves has been leaked.

"Chairman Zhao, should we send someone to make contact with Miss Duanmu?"

"No need, I'll go to Jishetang myself."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao."

……

A few days later, at Jishetang.

When Duanmu Ying happily returned home, the expected scene of her parents rushing to hug her with joy did not occur.

"Father, Mother, Zizhong, I'm back!"

As soon as she entered, Duanmu Ying saw an unexpected figure in the lobby—Master Liu, the head of Jishetang and Duanmu Ying's master.

"Master? What brings you to my house?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Duanmu Ying's eyes.

Seeing her master's gloomy face and silence, her initial joy gradually cooled down.

"You wicked child! Kneel down!"

Beside Master Liu, Duanmu Ying's father, Duanmu Bo, suddenly roared.

Pfft!
Duanmu Ying instinctively knelt down, looking pleadingly at her husband, Wang Zizhong, and her mother.

Faced with Duanmu Ying's pleading gaze, Wang Zizhong gritted his teeth and then knelt down in the hall with Duanmu Ying.

"Master, Father, Yingzi was just confused for a moment. Please forgive her this time!"

"A moment of confusion? What do you mean by a moment of confusion?"

Duanmu Ying was really confused. She had been inside for a while and still didn't know what her family members were talking about.

"You wretched child! Still pretending nothing's wrong! Look at yourself!"

Duanmu Bo roared again and then threw a letter in front of Duanmu Ying.

Duanmu Ying picked up the letter from the ground with a puzzled look on her face, and then her expression changed drastically.

"This... Father, where did you get this letter?"

"Yingzi, judging from your reaction, this matter is indeed not unfounded..."

At this moment, Master Liu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

"What else do you have to say now?! We sent you out to practice medicine and help the people, to contribute to the war effort, and what did you do? You actually went and became sworn brothers with the leader of the Quanxing Sect!"

"Duanmu Ying, you've really made something of yourself!"
