Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 226 The World of Extraordinary People is Not Just About Fighting and Killing
"Hmm? Where is the sect leader?"

"It seems Zhao Zhen used the Golden Escape Technique to send them away?"

"This Golden Escape Flowing Light ability is really convenient. If I had this ability, would I still need to hide from those righteous people all the time?"

"Of course! Otherwise, do you think it was because when the Venerable Master was still alive, we Quanxing disciples would always invite him to any event we had?"

"Alas, what a pity, the Master didn't leave this skill to our Quanxing sect..."

"Alright, since Wugensheng has already left, there's no need for us to stay here."

"Damn it, I got tricked by that bastard Wugensheng this time. I hope I never run into him again!"

"There will always be another chance, let's all go now~"

"gone."

……

After realizing that Wugensheng had been sent away by Zhao Zhen, the Quanxing group scattered and disappeared like birds and beasts in no time.

For a moment, only Zhao Zhen and the people from various sects remained on the field.

"you!!!"

Upon seeing Wugensheng disappear before his eyes, Hutu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhao Zhen! How dare you let Wu Gengsheng escape with your own hands! You are condoning evil and openly colluding with the Quanxing heretics!!!"

Looking at Hu Tu, who was trembling with anger, Zhao Zhen's face flashed a faint, cold smile.

"Master Hu, let me give you a piece of advice: you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want!"

"In full view of everyone present, all the sect leaders can testify for me that it was you, Zhao Zhen, who openly let Wugensheng go!"

Hu Tu's finger, pointing at Zhao Zhen, trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, the leaders of the various sects surrounding Hu Tu all spoke up to dissuade him:
"Old Hu, let it go. Chairman Zhao's move was for the sake of the bigger picture."

"Yeah, forget it, Lao Hu, there's no need."

"He's just a monstrous demon. If we can't kill him this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

……

In fact, apart from Hu Tu, the leaders of the other sects were all quite clear-headed.

With so many Quanxing members gathered here today, if a war breaks out, let alone whether we can kill Wugensheng, even if we can, countless of our own disciples will likely die.

It's completely unnecessary to sacrifice so many disciples for a mere Wugensheng.

I was forced into this situation by circumstances, so I had no choice but to stay here with the Shuzi Sect.

Now that Zhao Zhen has "thoughtfully" provided a "stepping stone" for everyone, they should naturally take the opportunity and go with the flow.

Besides, since Wugensheng has already been sent away by Zhao Zhen, there's no point in saying anything more.

It would be even more unnecessary to offend Na Du Tong and Zhao Zhen as a result.

However, it is clear that not everyone is as rational as these sect leaders.

"Zhao Zhen, I was only giving you some face before because of the Celestial Master and the deceased Left Sect Master! But now you've first protected the Thirty-Six Thieves, and then openly let the fiend Wugensheng go. Do you really think no one in this world of supernatural beings can deal with you?!"

As Hu Tu roared, the arena fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were on Zhao Zhen and Hu Tu on the field, and the surrounding air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Protecting the Thirty-Six Traitors? Master Hu, what do you mean by this?"

"I speak with a furrowed brow," said Yan Yan, the sect leader of Huode Sect.

"Not long ago, my disciples from the Shuzi Sect tried to use internal divination to find the whereabouts of the Thirty-Six Thieves, and discovered that Duanmu Ying and Zhang Huaiyi, two of the Thirty-Six Thieves, had been secretly hidden by them!"

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the various sects all frowned.

Duanmu Ying is one thing, although Jishetang has a high reputation and extensive connections in the industry.

However, the sworn brotherhood of the thirty-six thieves had caused too much of a stir, and at this critical juncture, no one dared to offend the public out of mere personal feelings.

The only reason Zhao Zhen took her in was because Duanmu Ying had saved his life during the battle at Tianming Mountain.

But Zhang Huaiyi was different. He was a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion who led the Zhengyi sect, the beloved disciple of the 64th Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, and had been taught half of the Thunder Technique. He was originally a high-ranking official of the Celestial Master's Mansion who was expected to inherit the position of Celestial Master in the future!
Given the Celestial Master's Mansion's transcendent status in the world of supernatural beings, most sect leaders, except for Hu Tu, were unwilling to offend the Celestial Master's Mansion.

When they were coerced by Hu Tu to go to Longhu Mountain to ask Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing to join forces to wipe out the Thirty-Six Bandits, wasn't the Celestial Master's attitude already very clear?

In short, they're unwilling to take action!

In the entire world of supernatural beings, who doesn't know that the current Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing is known for being extremely protective of his own? Do you really expect him to personally kill his own disciple?
Therefore, most people simply turned a blind eye to Zhang Huaiyi and pretended not to see it.

After all, Zhang Huaiyi was a high-ranking Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion who had practiced thunder magic, and his cultivation was quite remarkable. Killing him would require paying a considerable price.

After paying this price, the Celestial Master's Mansion will not only be ungrateful, but may even hold a grudge against them.

This kind of losing proposition is easy to understand if you use your brain even a little.

Therefore, upon hearing that Zhang Huaiyi was also in Na Du Tong, the leaders of various sects all tacitly chose to remain silent.

"Master Hu, does the Celestial Master know about this matter you mentioned?"

“Yes, Zhang Huaiyi is, after all, a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion. Even if he really is hiding somewhere, it should be the Celestial Master's Mansion that steps in, not us…”

"Furthermore, Master Hu, you said that your disciples asked the question in the inner realm, but that probably can't be considered substantial evidence, can it?"

"Yes, to conclude that the All-Knowing Bureau is protecting the Thirty-Six Thieves based on just your words is ridiculous. What if you wrong someone? Wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world?"

……

Hu Tu glanced at the leaders of the various sects present, a flash of undisguised anger in his eyes.

He originally thought that after he revealed the whereabouts of Zhang Huaiyi and Duanmu Ying, these sect leaders would join him in pressuring Na Du Tong, thereby forcing him to hand over the thirty-six thieves!
To Hu Tu's surprise, after hearing his words, these sect leaders not only did not stand on his side, but instead made excuses and talked about other things!
He knew perfectly well what these sect leaders were worried about: the immense power of the Celestial Master's Mansion and Zhao Zhen's strength!

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhen's lips curled into a faint smile.

Ultimately, the world of supernatural beings has never been just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social interactions!
Old man, since you've chosen to draw your sword against me, don't blame me for drawing mine too!

"Master Hu, since you've put it that way, I might as well tell you that sorcerers aren't just found in your sorcery sect; my All-Knowing Sect has them too!"
Not long ago, my all-knowing sorcerer also found out the whereabouts of the Thirty-Six Thieves in the inner realm. He said that Zhou Sheng, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, was hiding in your sorcery sect!
How does Master Hu explain this?
