Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 354 The last thing
"Master, why didn't you tell me?"

Two lines of tears streamed down Zhang Zhiwei's face, and his fists were clenched tightly.

It wasn't until he truly received the Celestial Master's ordination that he finally understood why his master, Zhang Jingqing, insisted on having him complete this "succession ceremony" even at this crucial moment.

The so-called "succession ceremony" is not about any formalities or seals; the key lies in the Heavenly Master's Code.

"Zhiwei, from now on, you will be the one to inherit the Heavenly Master's Lineage."

"I know you've always been a blabbermouth, so asking you to keep this secret is really putting you in a difficult position."

Zhang Jingqing smiled slightly, stood up, and reached out to pat Zhang Zhiwei's head.

"Originally, between you and Huaiyi, Huaiyi should have been more suitable to inherit the position of Celestial Master."

Unfortunately, he went far, far down the wrong path, and even as his teacher, I couldn't bring him back.

"Master, your disciple will go and bring Huaiyi to you right away!"

"stop!"

Just as Zhang Zhiwei was about to get up, he was stopped by Zhang Jingqing's sharp shout.

"Stop crying! Your master isn't dead yet!"

"But Master, you gave me the Heavenly Master's Ordination, so wouldn't you be..."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei's voice began to choke up.

After inheriting the Celestial Master's Degree from Zhang Jingqing, he learned the secret of the Celestial Master's Mansion's thousand-year-old heritage, and also the price of inheriting the Celestial Master's Degree.

"Everyone must die eventually, and I am no exception. But at least before I die, I want to do one last thing for you..."
-
Meanwhile, inside the quiet room of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Tian Jinzhong sat by the window, staring blankly out the window.

"Today must be the day my senior brother inherits the position of Celestial Master, right? Sigh, I really want to witness his succession ceremony..."

Although he said that, Tian Jin knew very well in his heart that he couldn't go.

This was not only an order from his master Zhang Jingqing, but also because Tian Jinzhong himself knew that at this critical juncture, he absolutely could not let his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei be distracted by his own affairs.

Recalling the scene of encountering Zhang Huaiyi on the way down the mountain and forcibly extracting the "truth" from him, Tian Jinzhong felt his heart instantly filled with endless regret.

If I had known this would happen, I really shouldn't have kept pressing them for answers!

But now that things have come to this, I know everything I should and shouldn't know. The reason those guys ambushed me was probably also because of this secret, right?

"Master, senior brother, I'm sorry, Jinzhong lied to you."

But this secret, I will never reveal, even if it takes me to my grave!

Thinking of this, Tian Jinzhong's eyes became incredibly resolute again.

Just as he was about to use cultivation to calm his agitated mind, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past outside the meditation room.

"who!!!"

Tian Jinzhong immediately became alert, and dazzling golden light gathered around him.

"It actually recovered. I must say, it truly lives up to its reputation as a master of both arts and sciences."

A sinister voice sounded outside the window, and almost the instant the voice rang out, Tian Jinzhong rushed out of the meditation room. At the same moment he burst out, a chilling, bone-deep energy, like a venomous snake, lunged towards Tian Jinzhong's throat!
The shadowy figure moved with uncanny speed, as if it could predict his movements. Its fingertips were wreathed in a ghostly blue aura, aiming straight for vital points.

"You bastard from Quanxing! You're asking for death!"

Tian Jinzhong let out a low roar, and golden light suddenly burst forth around his body. He tried to forcefully block the attack with his Golden Light Spell, but he ultimately underestimated his opponent's strength.

boom!
The moment the dark figure's attack collided with the golden light, Tian Jinzhong was forced back several steps, his back slamming against the doorframe of the quiet room. His blood surged, and his eyes were filled with horror.

The opponent's Qi was not only vicious, but also carried a strange power that twisted the mind, causing him to become dazed. It was as if the secret he was guarding in his mind was being forcibly stirred by an invisible hand!
The other party's goal was not only to kill him, but also to directly explore or destroy that forbidden place deep in his soul!
"Tsk, Golden Light Mantra... As expected of a high-level master. It's just a pity that it's crippled now."

The shadowy figure's voice was hoarse and distorted, carrying an inhuman emptiness.

With a swift movement, he closed in again as if by teleportation, his azure aura transforming into several sharp claws that blocked all of Tian Jinzhong's escape routes, aiming straight for the top of his head!

Tian Jinzhong's pupils suddenly contracted, and the golden light was pushed to its limit.

He gritted his teeth, his mind made up. Even if it meant taking his own life, he would never let his opponent succeed!
At this critical moment, a calm yet infinitely majestic voice pierced through the space and exploded directly in the ears of the shadowy figure and Tian Jinzhong.

"roll!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap from the heavens, carrying an undeniable power!

The next instant, accompanied by a flash of golden light, the shadowy figure froze abruptly, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, his body flying backward and smashing through several large trees along the way.

"puff!!!"

The dark figure coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggling to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with horror as he looked toward the source of the sound.

Ahead, Zhao Zhen had appeared in the center of the courtyard at some point, standing with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

His gaze pierced through space, like two tangible golden swords, firmly locking onto the dark figure.

“Zhao…Zhen…”

For the first time, the shadowy figure's voice carried a strong sense of apprehension and fear.

He knew how terrifying Zhao Zhen was, and he also understood that since the other party was here, it meant that the people at the succession ceremony had probably been completely dealt with.

Thinking of this, the shadowy figure made a decision without hesitation.

A burst of dark blue energy erupted suddenly, merging into the air like ink. At the same time, his figure became blurry and uncertain, as if he were about to vanish into nothingness.

"Want to go?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, and in the next instant, his figure disappeared from the spot again.

"Ugh!!"

A piercing, inhuman scream seemed to come from another dimension!
Blood splattered everywhere as Zhao Zhen ripped an arm off the shadowy figure.

Even so, after giving Zhao Zhen an extremely venomous look, the shadowy figure, still heavily injured and furious, completely merged into the void and disappeared, leaving only a faint, untraceable spatial ripple.

"Ok?"

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and glanced thoughtfully at the spot where the dark figure had disappeared.

This is the first time someone has managed to slip away right in front of him. What kind of escape technique is this? Why have I never heard of it before?
Just as Zhao Zhen lowered his head and fell into thought, the severed arm in his hand suddenly disappeared without warning!
