Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 356 The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain?

The words of the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing were still as powerful and resonant as ever, not at all like those of a dying man.

"Could it be that the news that the Celestial Master's title will be passed on to the next Celestial Master and the previous Celestial Master will die is false?"

Just as Zhao Zhen was pondering to himself, Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, glanced at Tian Jinzhong not far away with some surprise.

"Jinzhong, you're awake?"

"Ah."

Tian Jinzhong nodded, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"Master, while the commotion was raging here, a sorcerer secretly slipped away to Jinzhong."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's words, a fierce glint flashed in Zhang Jingqing's eyes.

"Is that so? So it was a diversionary tactic. It seems these guys aren't willing to let Jinzhong off the hook so easily..."

"This is outrageous! They almost crippled Jinzhong, what more do they want!"

Zhang Zhiwei roared angrily.

Zhao Zhen nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhang Jingqing.

"Old Celestial Master, we have captured some of the Quanxing members who caused trouble on the mountain today. What do you plan to do with them?"

"Please, Chairman Zhao, release them all for me."

Upon hearing this, not only Zhao Zhen, but also Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Release them? Master, why?"

Tian Jinzhong subconsciously blurted out a question.

Zhao Zhen also frowned, but compared to the words of the old master Zhang Jingqing, what struck him as more unusual was Zhang Zhiwei's attitude.

If it were Zhang Zhiwei in the past, he would have definitely made a huge scene and argued loudly after hearing those words, even if they were spoken by his master.

But today, he appeared unusually calm.

Could it be that this Celestial Master's Ordination has the effect of changing a person's nature?

Zhang Jingqing didn't explain further, but continued:

"Chairman Zhao, you just need to release the people after I've seen off all the guests. Leave the rest to our Celestial Master's Mansion."

"Oh well."

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, but a bad feeling gradually crept into his heart.

What exactly is this old Taoist master trying to do?
Soon, with the end of the farce and succession ceremony, the various sects that came to witness the ceremony were all sent down Longhu Mountain by Zhang Jingqing.

During this time, Zhao Zhen was placed in a side hall along with Zhang Zhiwei and others.

"Old Zhang, don't you think something's a bit off?"

"Ok?"

When Zhao Zhen asked him a question, Zhang Zhiwei replied somewhat absentmindedly.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but frown at this.

"What are you doing? You've succeeded to the position of Celestial Master, and now you've lost your soul?"

Faced with Zhao Zhen's mockery, Zhang Zhiwei also showed a bitter smile.

"Old Zhao, where's Huaiyi?"

"Didn't see them. They probably sneaked down the mountain in the chaos."

"Is that so... This big-eared thief is indeed very much in line with his style."

"Senior brother, I also think Chairman Zhao is right. Master has been acting a bit strange ever since the succession ceremony!"

Tian Jinzhong spoke with a solemn expression.

"What happened on the mountain while I was away?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Master probably has his own things to do..."

Just as Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, Sun Heqian rushed in from the doorway in a panic.

"Master, Chairman Zhao, something terrible has happened! The advisor has disappeared!"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen jumped to his feet. "He Qian, what did you say? Your advisor is missing? What happened?!"

Tian Jinzhong rushed to Sun Heqian and asked loudly with wide eyes.

"After seeing off all the guests, the clerk asked me to release those Quanxing demons down the mountain. But when I was about to go back and report after releasing them, I found that I couldn't find the clerk anywhere on the mountain!"

"Have you searched the back mountain? Is it possible that your advisor went there?"

"We've searched, but it's not there. Could it be that Master has gone down the mountain?!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Jinzhong's pupils contracted sharply.

Recalling his master's unusual behavior earlier, Tian Jinzhong immediately realized what was going on!

"There's no mistake, your master has definitely gone down the mountain! Quick, Heqian, gather the others and come with me down the mountain to chase after your master!"

"Yes!"

"He Qian!"

Just as Sun Heqian was about to go out to call for help, Zhang Zhiwei, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly called out to stop him.

"master?"

Sun Heqian turned his head and looked at his master Zhang Zhiwei with some confusion.

At the same time, Tian Jinzhong's eyes were also fixed on his senior brother.

"You're not allowed to go..."

After Zhang Zhiwei uttered those three words, he seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he collapsed into the chair.

"Senior brother, do you know what you're saying?!"

At this moment, Tian Jinzhong's eyes were bloodshot.

He couldn't understand why his senior brother had become so unfamiliar after only a dozen days apart.
"I told you, you're not allowed to go!"

Zhang Zhiwei slowly opened his eyes and repeated his words again.

"Why?!!"

Tian Jinzhong asked, his eyes full of confusion.

"Because...this was my master's last instruction."

"The final... explanation..."

Tian Jinzhong kept repeating these words to himself, his eyes gradually changing from confusion to panic, and finally he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

"Ha... Haha, senior brother, don't scare me. Master is perfectly healthy, so why would he give any final instructions?"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't speak, but lowered his head and fell silent again.

After inheriting the Celestial Master's Degree, this once "big mouth" of the Celestial Master's Mansion has become increasingly taciturn.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen roughly understood what the old master Zhang Jingqing was planning to do.

As expected, the succession of the Celestial Master's title inevitably comes with the death of the previous Celestial Master.

However, the time of death was not immediate, but rather some time later.

Knowing that his days were numbered, it seems self-evident what choice the old master Zhang Jingqing would make.

"Old Zhang, the Celestial Master went down the mountain to settle scores with Quanxing, right?"

"Um……"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded with a complicated expression.

"understood."

Zhao Zhen turned around and walked towards the side hall gate without looking back.

"Old Zhao, where are you going?"

Zhao Zhen stopped and turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei.

"Before the old Celestial Master left, he instructed the people of your Celestial Master's Mansion not to leave the mountain, but I have never been a member of your Celestial Master's Mansion."

Having said that, he continued to walk forward.

But just as Zhao Zhen reached the door, he stopped again.
