Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 357 You Are Not Me, Zhao Zhen
"Old Zhang..."

Zhao Zhen's voice slowly rang out.

He gave Zhang Zhiwei a deep look, his eyes carrying a somewhat inexplicable meaning.

"There are some things I shouldn't have told you, but we've known each other for so many years, so before I leave, I still want to ask you a question."

Zhang Zhiwei was slightly taken aback and looked up in the direction of Zhao Zhen at the door.

"If the Celestial Master dies at the hands of Quanxing after descending the mountain this time, will you regret it?"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Zhiwei's pupils contracted sharply.

Regret? Need I say more?!

If his master were to die tragically at the hands of the Quanxing demons, he would surely live in the shadows and guilt for the rest of his life!

But before his master left the mountain, he also warned him that if he dared to leave the mountain on his own, he, Zhang Zhiwei, would no longer be Zhang Jingqing's disciple!

Thinking about this, Zhang Zhiwei was caught in a dilemma.

“I know what you’re worried about, just like how my master accepted karmic connections back then.”

Although I ultimately chose to respect his decision back then, so many years have passed, and I still can't help but feel guilty whenever I think of my master's tragic death.

If I hadn't been so rational back then, and had chosen to act impulsively, taking her away before I could claim her, would the outcome have been different?

As he spoke, a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Zhen's lips.

"Hehe, maybe, but things might get worse."

But Lao Zhang, you are not me, Zhao Zhen. You are now the 65th Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

I believe you can make the best choice, the one you'll least regret...

Without waiting for Zhang Zhiwei's reply, Zhao Zhen's figure disappeared from everyone's sight with a flash of golden light.

For a moment, the entire side hall fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes turned to Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master, but in the face of everyone's gaze, Zhang Zhiwei could only sigh.

……

Meanwhile, NaDuTong's Beijing branch.

The first thing Zhao Zhen did after returning from the Celestial Master's Mansion was to send someone to find Yu Yang.

At this moment, Yu Yang was still interrogating Quanxing, whom Zhao Zhen had sent back from the Celestial Master's Mansion, together with Lü Ci. However, after receiving Zhao Zhen's order, he instantly realized that something big was about to happen.

As expected, Yu Yang's pupils contracted sharply when he heard from Zhao Zhen that the old master Zhang Jingqing had come down the mountain to avenge his disciple.

"What? The Celestial Master actually came down the mountain in person?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly.

"So, is the Celestial Master's Mansion planning a full-scale war against the Quanxing Sect?"

As the leader of the righteous path, the Celestial Master's Mansion governs the entire Zhengyi sect. If the Celestial Master's Mansion openly declares war on Quanxing, then the Shenxiao Sect, Jingming Sect, and other forces belonging to the Zhengyi lineage will respond one after another.

In this way, this is no longer a "personal" grudge, but a full-scale war that is about to sweep across the entire world of supernatural beings!

"No, only the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing went down the mountain, and he had strictly forbidden Zhang Zhiwei and the others from going down the mountain before he did so."

It seems the Celestial Master intends to settle accounts with the Quanxing Sect alone.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and couldn't help but sigh softly. After all, the matter of the Celestial Master's Ordination involved the Celestial Master's Mansion's top secrets, so he couldn't say much more to Yu Yang.

From the moment Zhang Jingqing decided to leave the mountain, he was destined to die at the hands of Quanxing.

After all, Zhang Jingqing's strength was not like that of Zhang Zhiwei later on. Although Zhang Jingqing was also quite strong as the 64th Celestial Master, he was still somewhat inferior to the "Celestial Master" of later generations.

Even if Zhang Jingqing were to break through the encirclement of Quanxing, he would inevitably die sooner or later without the Heavenly Master's Seal.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen immediately made arrangements: "Yu Yang, from now on, have our people keep an eye on the Quanxing gang, with Longhu Mountain as the center."

"Chairman Zhao, you mean..."

"Regardless of what the Old Celestial Master's purpose is this time, the activities of the Quanxing gang have indeed become quite rampant recently."

So this time, we at All-Around Network definitely have to lend a hand!

"understand!"

Yu Yang nodded, instantly understanding Zhao Zhen's meaning.

Several days later, in Huatian Village, Jiangxi Province.

A man was running frantically along the path, glancing back every now and then as if some ferocious beast was chasing him.

Rumble~
The sky was as black as ink, and thick, dark clouds churned and boiled, swallowing up all the light.

Suddenly, a blazing white lightning bolt tore through the dim sky, its twisted light instantly illuminating the entire mountain wilderness, like a spear hurled from the heavens by a god, causing the forest to tremble violently.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, a figure slowly emerged from the end of the road.

Pfft!
At this moment, the man's physical strength finally reached its limit. In extreme fear and exhaustion, he suddenly stumbled and fell into a small puddle, looking extremely disheveled.

Tap tap tap~
Heavy footsteps slowly sounded, each step feeling like it was stomping on the man's heart, causing him a suffocating fear.

"No...don't come any closer!!!"

The man shouted in terror.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck, illuminating Zhang Jingqing's indifferent face.

"Liu Zhaoyi, you should be one of the thirteen people who attacked Jinzhong, right?"

Zhang Jingqing spoke in a calm tone.

Liu Zhao swallowed hard, glancing fearfully at the charred corpses behind Zhang Jingqing, which had been struck by lightning.

Only at this moment did he finally understand why Na Du Tong and the Celestial Master's Mansion had chosen to release them all on Longhu Mountain.

It's not that those pedants and company people are out of their minds, or that they have some kind of benevolent virtue.

Their true purpose was to go down the mountain to find more members of the Quanxing sect and then wipe them out one by one!

Since joining the Quanxing Sect, Liu Zhao has acted as he pleased without any scruples, and in just over a decade, he has made a name for himself in the world of supernatural beings.

But he never imagined that one day he would become the "bait" for others to besiege the enemy's stronghold and attack their reinforcements!
"Master, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I really just went there to join in the fun, I didn't mean to attack your disciple!"
It was all...it was Yin Lin. She told me that Master Tian possessed the secret of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, which made me so blinded by greed that I thought I should try my luck.

"Old Celestial Master, please forgive me this time, considering I've never offended the Celestial Master's Mansion in the past!"

As he spoke, Liu Zhao began kowtowing repeatedly to Zhang Jingqing, as if pounding garlic.
