Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 318 Remember to attend my succession ceremony

"I'll go with you then. The Lü family is nothing more than a den of dragons and tigers."

"Not quite a den of dragons and tigers, but it's pretty close."

"Since you know this trip is dangerous, how dare you say you're going alone?"

Zhang Zhiwei rolled his eyes and looked at his old friend with a speechless expression.

"Now it's all over. Even if I wanted to go with you, I can't."

"I never intended for you to come with me."

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head again.

"Now that you are about to succeed as the 65th Celestial Master, if you come with me, you will represent not only Zhang Zhiwei, but also the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion."

Similarly, don't be fooled by how eloquently the people from various sects spoke earlier. If you actually asked them to accompany me to the Lü family, believe me, not a single one of them would agree.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately fell silent.

He was no longer the arrogant "foolish lion" he once was at the Lu family's birthday banquet. Both war and the passage of time had gradually worn away Zhang Zhiwei's sharp edges.

Now that he is about to inherit the position of Celestial Master, how could Zhang Zhiwei not understand the intricacies involved?
"Sigh, if I could, I really wouldn't want to inherit the position of Celestial Master."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei also let out a long sigh.

"why?"

"Actually, Huaiyi is more suitable to be the Celestial Master than I am."

Once you become a Celestial Master, the burdens and responsibilities on your shoulders can never be lifted…

"People always have to grow up; you can't stay carefree and naive forever."

Zhao Zhen replied with a hint of schadenfreude.

Finally, this guy is going to experience all the mess he's gone through over the years!

"Yes, Huaiyi is now wandering outside, and Master's health is deteriorating day by day. If I don't shoulder the burden of the Celestial Master's Mansion, who will?"

After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei shrugged resignedly.

"Alright, enough about me. How confident are you about going to the Lü family this time?"

"If I can use the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique, I'm 90% confident."

Zhao Zhen answered with a serious expression.

"How is that possible? Nowadays, everyone in the world of supernatural beings knows about your Golden Escape Flowing Light technique, Old Zhao. How could the Lü family not be on guard?"
I heard that the "Art of Techniques" sect recently spent a fortune hiring a master of formations. Who do you think they were trying to protect against?

"Are you guarding against me?"

"Otherwise what? It's just that the two of us are relatively close. Otherwise, if I were them, I would definitely set up that Void-Severing Array in our Celestial Master's Mansion. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully!"

"Seriously? I'm not some monster, why are you so afraid of me?"

Zhao Zhen spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"The main problem is that your Golden Release: Flowing Light ability is too shameless, so people have no choice but to be on guard!"

Zhang Zhiwei laughed, but after a brief moment of teasing, he became serious again.

"I reckon I'll be taking over the position of Celestial Master around this time next year..."

"So early?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

Inheriting the position of Celestial Master means that Zhang Zhiwei must receive the Celestial Master's ordination from the previous Celestial Master, Zhang Jingqing.

Zhao Zhen knew all too well about this mysterious Celestial Master's Decree; it was essentially a restriction passed down for a thousand years by the Celestial Master's Mansion!

However, if this restriction is passed on to the next Celestial Master, the price will be the death of the previous Celestial Master!
That is to say, the day Zhang Zhiwei accepts the Heavenly Master's ordination will be the day the old Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing dies. "There's nothing I can do. My master is urging me on. I guess he doesn't want to see Jinzhong and me searching for Huaiyi at the foot of the mountain all day anymore."

"Are you and Jinzhong still looking for Huaiyi?"

"Well, if we still can't find it this year, we'll give up completely."

"What about Jinzhong?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, a bad feeling suddenly welling up in her heart.

"I don't know, we split into two groups to go down the mountain."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head.

"Stop looking. Tell Jinzhong to hurry back to the mountain. You saw what happened at Jishetang. These days, what wouldn't the world of supernatural beings do for these Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"
"You send someone from Jinzhong to look for Huaiyi. If he doesn't find him, that's fine, but if he does find him, it might not be a good thing for him."

"You mean, someone would dare to attack a member of my Celestial Master's Mansion?!"

"Heh, with the world in such a mess, who cares whose disciple you are?"
"If I hadn't been there a few days ago, didn't those two from the Lü family also plan to kill the two elders of Jishetang to silence them, and then frame Quanxing?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei clenched his fists.

"I understand. I'll go find Jinzhong right now and ask him to come back to the mountain with me!"

"Ah."

Before leaving, Zhang Zhiwei also took a deep look at Zhao Zhen.

"Remember to come to Longhu Mountain next year for my succession ceremony."

"Don't worry, you definitely will."

……

After seeing Zhang Zhiwei off, Zhao Zhen also bid farewell to the two elderly people at Jishetang.

Outside Jishetang, Yu Yang had been waiting for a long time.

"Chairman Zhao, are you really going to the Lü family alone?"

"Mm." Zhao Zhen nodded.

"But the Lü family is one of the four families after all. If we catch them off guard, that would be fine, but Chairman Zhao, you have openly announced that you will soon venture into the village alone. They must have been prepared all along..."

A hint of worry flashed in Yu Yang's eyes.

Although he was confident that his boss Zhao's cultivation level was unmatched even in the entire world of supernatural beings, one can't fight against many opponents, and even ants can kill an elephant if there are too many of them...

"It's alright. After today's commotion, the Lü family is now completely isolated and helpless in the industry. The only family that might dare to risk public condemnation to help them is the Wang family."

Today's actions are not only to uphold justice for Jishetang and snatch the Shuangquan Hand back from the Lü family, but also to demonstrate the strength of Na Du Tong to the entire world of supernatural beings!

The principle of "might makes right" applies even more to the dog-eat-dog world of supernatural beings.

To smoothly take over the management authority handed over to us from above, the first step is to flex our muscles and subdue these troublemakers!

"That's true, but you saw the attitude of the Lü family today, Chairman Zhao. What if they become desperate and do something really bad to you? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

As he spoke, Yu Yang gritted his teeth.

"How about I gather all the best and temporary workers from our All-Knowing team and secretly follow you into the village, Mr. Zhao?"

"No need. Since this is a battle to establish our authority, we must defeat them thoroughly until they are convinced of our superiority!"

Besides, too many people might not be a good thing. Here's what we'll do: just in case, you and some men will meet me outside the village.

"All right……"
