Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 231 Ever-Changing Ambition

Several days later, in the Qinling Mountains.

Zhao Zhen and Duanmu Ying strolled together along the path, enjoying the scenery as they slowly made their way deeper into the Qinling Mountains.

The reason for choosing to bring Duanmu Ying instead of Zhang Huaiyi was that the headquarters of Na Du Tong needed someone to be in charge.

Once Zhao Zhen takes Zhang Huaiyi away, then the headquarters will only have Duanmu Ying left, who has almost no fighting power.

If someone were to take advantage of this situation and steal from his hometown, Zhao Zhen would truly feel like committing suicide.

This also exposes a common problem within Nadutong: it has been established for too short a time and its foundation is still too shallow compared to those established forces.

Aside from All-Knowing, who would dare to trespass into the strongholds of other established forces in the world of supernatural beings? Who knows, an old monster might suddenly appear out of nowhere!

Moreover, Na Du Tong is indeed lacking in top talent. Currently, the only combat force they can muster is two people, even including the "temporary worker" Zhang Huaiyi.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhen considered taking in the "Thirty-Six Thieves," in addition to considering the sects behind them, he also considered that they were all outstanding figures of their time.

"Yingzi, in your impression, what kind of person is Zhou Sheng?"

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's question, Duanmu Ying fell into deep thought for a moment.

"I didn't have much contact with my third brother, but I remember that my fourth brother, Wugensheng, described him as sharp-tongued and very ambitious."

My third brother is proficient in all kinds of divination arts, especially Qimen Dunjia, and once said that one day he wanted to master the changes of all things in the world.

"Control the changes of all things in the world? What a boastful tone. But ambition, everyone has it, don't you, Eiko?"

"Yes, I think there's no disease in this world that I, Duanmu Ying, can't cure or save. I wonder if that counts as ambition?"

"Of course it counts."

Zhao Zhen smiled gently.

"And what about you, Senior Brother Zhao? What are your ambitions?"

"Me? I'm not as pure as you guys. My ambitions have actually been constantly changing with my life experiences."

"Hmm? I'm getting more and more curious."

"When I was a child, my parents died and I was almost starving to death. An old man took me in, raised me by his side, and taught me all his skills."

Later, when I was a novice in the world, the world was in chaos, and I was also a disciple of the Quanxing Demon Clan. At that time, I had only one ambition: to survive, to survive by any means necessary.

Therefore, I traveled to various mountains and visited major sects in the world of supernatural beings, all to broaden my horizons and avoid dying one day at the hands of others without even understanding why.

However, I was lucky and had some talent, so I made a name for myself in those years. In addition, I met Master Zuo and the Celestial Master who vouched for me and solved my biggest problem.

Therefore, since the Lu family's birthday banquet years ago, with the Golden Escape Flowing Light protecting me, survival has no longer been a problem for me.

"And then your ambitions began to change?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded, picked up a weed from the ground, and chewed it in his mouth.

"Later, when the Japanese devils started the war, I thought of using my skills to protect my country and rush to the aid of my country in times of crisis."

So after that, I went to the area outside the Great Wall, thinking that one day I could wipe out all those little devils.

From then on, the fame of "Golden Thunder Lord" spread far and wide.

"What 'Golden Thunder Lord'? If I were really the Thunder Lord, I would have already struck these damned Japanese devils to death."

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head. "But no matter what, Senior Brother Zhao, you did indeed wipe out the entire Hiei Mountain ninja clan single-handedly. Based on that alone, in my opinion, you are worthy of the title 'Golden Sky Thunder Lord'!"

"It wasn't all by my own efforts; I was just lucky, thanks to you, that I survived by sheer chance."

"In the battle of Tianming Mountain back then, if it weren't for the fact that the Tang Clan suffered heavy casualties and that countless righteous individuals from the Otherworld fought bravely and relentlessly, how could I, alone, possibly annihilate the Bihe Mountain Ninja Clan? How could that be possible?"

After hearing this, Duanmu Ying fell silent for a moment.

"Yes, I still remember the scene of corpses strewn all over Tianming Mountain back then..."

"So, after that brush with death, my ambitions changed again, because I realized that the impact of individual power is ultimately too insignificant."

"So you founded NaDuTong? But I've heard that recently the higher-ups seem to be targeting NaDuTong."

"That's normal, after all, we're being treated like 'bandits' now too."

"You choose to support them? That's a huge gamble!"

"Sometimes, gambling isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Zhao Zhen blinked and gave Duanmu Ying a meaningful look.

At the same time, Duanmu Ying also gave Zhao Zhen a deep look.

She suddenly felt that, compared to the thirty-six of them, this man in front of her seemed to have a clearer understanding of what she truly wanted.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Sheng invited us to meet in the Qinling Mountains, but the Qinling Mountains are so big, where exactly are we supposed to find him?"

"It should be around here, right? If we go any further, we'll be entering the Qinling Mountains."

Duanmu Ying looked around at her surroundings, but just then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake without warning.

"careful!"

Zhao Zhen's gaze sharpened slightly, and as he placed one hand on Duanmu Ying's back, he activated the Golden Escape Stream Light.

The next instant, accompanied by a flash of golden light, Duanmu Ying's figure appeared dozens of meters away.

Just as Zhao Zhen saw Duanmu Ying off, an earth dragon emerged from the ground, twisting its massive body and crashing down on Zhao Zhen.

boom! ! !
A loud bang shattered the tranquil atmosphere of the Qinling Mountains!
Amidst the thick smoke and dust, Zhao Zhen suddenly burst forth. Judging from his still composed demeanor, the sneak attack had clearly had no effect on him.

"To lure someone here to meet, only to launch a surprise attack without a word—is this the rule of Wudang?"

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the slender figure in the distant tree.

"Third Brother!"

Upon seeing that figure, a look of joy immediately flashed in Duanmu Ying's eyes.

Swish!
With a flash, he appeared in front of Zhao Zhen in the next instant.

The person in front of them was wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat on his back. He looked disheveled. Who else could it be but Zhou Sheng?
"Yingzi, don't come any closer!"

Just as Duanmu Ying was about to step forward, Zhou Sheng suddenly shouted and stopped her.

"Third brother?"

"Stay away, I don't want to accidentally hurt you..."
