Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 364 Old Celestial Master, May You Rest in Peace

Zhang Huaiyi also immediately flashed over, the lightning around him already gone.

He suddenly knelt heavily in front of Zhang Jingqing with a thud, his forehead pressed deeply into the cold earth, his shoulders trembling violently, and suppressed sobs escaping intermittently.

"Master... this disciple... this disciple is late! This disciple... deserves to die!"

Zhang Jingqing slowly opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the two disciples in front of him who were his most proud and most concerned.

There was no pain on his face, but rather a faint, yet incredibly relieved and contented smile.

Blood continued to seep from the wounds on his mouth and body, and his body was already swaying precariously.

Zhang Jingqing trembled as she struggled to raise her still relatively intact hand.

The withered hand gently stroked Zhang Zhiwei's drooping head, carrying endless entrustment and recognition.

Then, he slowly moved toward Zhang Huaiyi, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, with an indescribable mix of emotions and a sense of relief at finally letting go.

"Good...good boy..."

Zhang Jingqing's voice was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, yet it reached their ears clearly, carrying the deepest love and ultimate understanding.

"To be able to see you all one last time before I die, I, your teacher, have no regrets in dying..."

His final gaze passed over his two grieving disciples and fell upon the sky, which had been cleansed by thunder and seemed to symbolize rebirth.

Her hand finally fell limply to her side...

The legendary Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing passed away peacefully in the Fenhe Valley, surrounded by his two beloved disciples.

"master!!!"

……

Looking down at the figure lying in Zhang Zhiwei's arms, Zhao Zhen slowly closed his eyes.

"May the old Celestial Master rest in peace..."

After a brief moment of silence, Zhao Zhen quickly regained his composure, knowing that now was not the time for him to be down.

"Yu Yang!"

"exist!"

"Now that the Old Master's matter is settled, it's time for us to make our move! Let's close the net!"

"Yes!"

As Yu Yang fired the signal gun, countless company employees dressed in Na Du Tong uniforms pounced on the Quanxing disciples who were hiding in the shadows, like hungry wolves!

In an instant, the entire Fenhe River Valley was thrown into chaos.

The Quanxing members, who had originally intended to quietly come and watch the battle, instantly transformed from relaxed observers into panic and curses the moment they noticed the employees of Na Du Tong.

They never expected that NaDuTong would be waiting for them here!

Little did they know that Zhao Zhen had been planning this scheme ever since the Old Celestial Master descended the mountain, all in order to make good use of Zhang Jingqing's "gimmick".

He not only used the Jianghu Xiaozhan channel to spread the news of the Old Celestial Master's pursuit of the thirteen people throughout the country.

They even went so far as to use the "spies" within the Quanxing sect that Na Du Tong had planted within it, trying their best to make all Quanxing disciples start paying attention to this point.

Especially in the final battle in the Fenhe Valley, Zhao Zhen sent someone to find Granny Liu of the Quanxing Sect, who was about to retire from the martial arts world, and used her abilities to announce the news of the decisive battle in the Fenhe Valley to all the Quanxing Sect members!
Given the nature of the Quanxing disciples, some might not dare to kill the Celestial Master themselves, but there would be plenty of people willing to join in the fun if they witnessed their own disciple killing the Celestial Master!
So although it appears that there are only Zhang Jingqing and ten experts from Quanxing in the Fenhe Valley today, there are actually more than a hundred Quanxing disciples watching from the shadows.

These are the people Zhao Zhen truly targets!

To ensure everything went perfectly, he gathered almost all of the company's best people here today, surrounding the area for dozens of miles in layers!
Let alone those scattered rabble of Quanxing, even a fly wouldn't be able to escape today!
Below, in the center of the battlefield.

As Zhao Zhen's figure slowly approached, Zhang Zhiwei, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head with a blank expression.

"Condolences..."

Zhao Zhen spoke with a complex expression, "Life and death are preordained. This is Master's choice, and also my choice..."

"Originally, if I hadn't waited for you, I planned to kill these bastards myself. But fortunately, I waited for you, and the Old Master also waited for you."

"I should have come earlier. If I had come earlier, my master wouldn't have..."

Hearing his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei's self-reproachful words, Zhang Huaiyi, who was standing to the side, also lowered his head in silence.

Clearly, he had the same thought in his mind.

"Whether you come early or early doesn't really matter. As long as the Old Master can see you one last time before he dies, that's enough."

After all, his time is almost up.

"You know it all?"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Zhao Zhen again.

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"The reason why the old Celestial Master chose to descend the mountain is precisely for this reason. After passing on the Celestial Master's teachings to you, he had no more worries."

Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi tacitly refrained from asking Zhao Zhen how he learned about the secret of the Celestial Master's Ceremony, which was not passed down within the Celestial Master's Mansion.

After all, the two had known Zhao Zhen for so long that they had long been used to the occasional "abnormal" things that happened to him.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, and then slowly stood up.

"Were all the people outside who surrounded and killed Quanxing your men?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded.

"But Lao Zhang, don't misunderstand, this is also the Old Celestial Master's intention."

"I know……"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Zhang Jingqing's corpse on the ground again with a complicated expression.

"I want to take my master's body back to Longhu Mountain. That's where my master's home is..."

"Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"Need not."

After politely declining Zhao Zhen's offer, Zhang Zhiwei lowered his head and looked at Zhang Huaiyi beside him.

"Huaiyi, do you want to come back to the mountain with me?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, Zhang Huaiyi's body trembled instantly.

"Senior brother, I can't go back with you..."

"Why? If you're still worried about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and your identity as one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, then there's absolutely no need to worry!"
Even if someone knows you've returned to the mountain, I want to see who dares to cause trouble on my Dragon Tiger Mountain from now on!

Facing the domineering Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Huaiyi remained silent with his head down.

Looking at Zhang Huaiyi's pathetic state, Zhang Zhiwei was immediately filled with anger.

"You bastard!!!"

But just as Zhang Zhiwei grabbed Zhang Huaiyi by the collar and lifted him off the ground with one hand, he realized that his junior brother, who was always serious and unsmiling, had been crying his eyes out!

"Senior brother, ultimately, it's my fault that Master is in this state. How can I possibly have the face to return to Longhu Mountain?!"
