Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 201 Fellow Daoist? What fellow Daoist is there?
Zhao Zhen chuckled, shook the blood off his hands, and then said to his two fellow disciples, "Let's go, let's leave here first, we can talk about it later."

Zhang Zhiwei gritted his teeth, glanced at the corpses of Li Quan and the others on the ground, and then quickly followed Zhao Zhen's steps.

Upon returning to the noodle shop, seeing Zhao Zhen sitting down as if nothing had happened, Zhang Zhiwei once again approached and questioned her:

"Old Zhao! Why did you kill those fellow Daoists from the Natural Sect just now?"

"Fellow Daoist? Don't be ridiculous, Lao Zhang. Things have come to this point, what fellow Daoist are you talking about?"
"If we don't kill them, and they go back and tell their elders that Huaiyi was taken away by people from your Celestial Master's Mansion, do you think those sect leaders will go to Longhu Mountain and cause trouble in front of the Celestial Master?"

"Let them make a fuss if they want, when has my master ever cared?"

"If you take action, won't you be creating a permanent feud between our Celestial Master's Mansion and the Natural School?"

"A blood feud? Don't be ridiculous. Everyone's dead. Who knows who did it?"

Moreover, Huaiyi had already killed one of the disciples of the Natural Sect before we arrived. The feud had already been established. What difference would it make whether we killed one or ten?
Even if the news leaks out, the sect will only know that it was Zhang Huaiyi, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, who killed the person, and that it has nothing to do with the Celestial Master's Mansion.

But if you kill someone in Huaiyi and then openly bring them back to Longhu Mountain, that will be even more troublesome!

After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Zhang Zhiwei fell silent for a moment.

Just then, Zhang Huaiyi, who had remained silent the entire way, slowly spoke up:

"Senior brother, I think Brother Zhao is right. I killed the person, and I will bear all the grudges myself. I must not implicate Master and our sect!"

"You! Sigh..."

Zhang Zhiwei sighed deeply. Although he knew that Zhao Zhen's actions were the most rational, he still couldn't accept killing his former comrade for such a reason in a short time, as his mindset hadn't yet changed.

"Alright, it's pointless to argue about whose fault it is now, since things have come to this."

"Speaking of Huaiyi, why did the people of the Natural Sect attack you?"

It's no wonder Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled, because since the list of the Thirty-Six Thieves was leaked, the sects involved have all dealt with their own members, and there has never been a case like today where people from other sects have taken action to hunt them down.

"Old Zhang, don't you understand? Ever since Hu Tu, the leader of the Shuzi Sect, started touring the country with Hu Haiwang's corpse, things have become completely irreversible."

Just yesterday, Mr. Dou Ruchang, the third-in-command of the Secret Painting School, publicly dissected his heart and committed suicide in front of various schools to prove his innocence.

"Given Mr. Dou's status in the Secret Painting and his high reputation in the world of supernatural beings, if he was treated this way, do you think these people would have any chance of letting the other thirty-six thieves go?"

"What?! Even Mr. Dou is dead?!"

A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Zhiwei's face. He never expected that this sworn brotherhood would escalate to such a serious extent, even leading to the tragic death of Mr. Dou.

You should know that this third-in-command of the Secret Painting Sect is a senior figure whom even his own master treats with utmost respect!

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhang Huaiyi, whose expression was gloomy, and then looked at his arm.

"Huaiyi, you should have known about Mr. Dou's death long ago, right? Through the official document in your hand..."

"Um……"

Zhang Huaiyi nodded, slowly raised his right arm, revealing the area on his arm where the proclamation had been written.

Xiqing is a unique secret technique of the Secret Painting lineage.

Users need to mix the special ink with their own blood and apply it to the skin. The ink will then disappear.

Write words again using Qi on the ink-covered area, and the words will appear simultaneously on the bodies of all those who have used the same batch of ink.

"So, Lao Zhang, if you want to protect Huaiyi, you'd better secretly bring him back. Otherwise, it'll be the Celestial Master's side that will be in trouble." "Sigh... I never expected things to get so serious this time. Huaiyi, Huaiyi, what can I say to you!"
Forget it, you should go back and tell your master what you have to say. Come on, let's go back up the mountain!

"Old Zhao, could you please give us another ride?"

After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei took the initiative to walk towards Zhao Zhen, wanting Zhao Zhen to use the Golden Escape Flowing Light to send them back to Longhu Mountain.

But as he walked, Zhang Zhiwei slowly stopped.

Because behind him, Zhang Huaiyi's feet never moved an inch.

"Huaiyi, what do you mean by this?"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I can't go back to the mountain with you."

Zhang Huaiyi gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Huaiyi, you've really grown up, haven't you? You won't even listen to your senior brother anymore?"

"Senior brother, you don't understand. If I go back now, I will only harm Master and you!"

Zhang Huaiyi shouted in pain.

"Are you worried that other sects will come to demand your people? You can rest assured about that. Master's original words were that no one can harm the disciples of our Celestial Master's Mansion on our territory!"
Even if others find out about you on the mountain, to put it bluntly, they have no say in our Celestial Master's Mansion!

As for the sect leaders and high-ranking members of those major sects, since Master could refuse their request to join forces to wipe out the Thirty-Six Bandits, he can refuse their request to come up the mountain to demand the release of the hostage again!

"No, that's not what I'm worried about, it's that..."

At this point, Zhang Huaiyi opened his mouth, but then hesitated and stopped.

"In short, senior brother, I'm begging you, please just pretend you didn't find me this time you came down the mountain, okay?"

"No way!!!"

Zhang Zhiwei suddenly turned around, a flash of anger in his eyes.

"You heard it yourself, even the third leader of the Secret Painting Sect, Mr. Dou, is dead. If you keep wandering around down the mountain, who will come next time?!"

Zhang Huaiyi lowered his head, remaining silent in the face of Zhang Zhiwei's anger.

"Alright, Huaiyi, I'll ask you one last question: are you coming back with me or not?"

"Senior brother, I told you, I'm not going back!"

Zhang Huaiyi suddenly looked up, his eyes no longer showing any fear. For a moment, Zhang Zhiwei even vaguely saw the same look in his eyes when he competed with him in the square!
"Alright, Huaiyi, then I'll make this clear: even if I have to break your legs, I'll bring you back to the mountain today!"

"Then you are welcome to give it a try, senior brother!"

hum! ! !
Almost at the same time, two dazzling golden lights shone from Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Zhiwei.

Behind the two, Zhao Zhen shook his head helplessly upon seeing this.

"Sigh, I knew things would turn out this way..."
