One person: Senior brother Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master begged me to descend the mountain.

"Oh……"

After a brief moment of calm, a dry laugh escaped from Gong Qing's throat.

He raised his head and stared intently at Zhang Taichu, who sat imposingly in front of him.

Whether someone is a good match or not is not up to you to decide.

Gong Qing's face showed a hint of madness:

"This...senior."

"Although I don't know which crack in the rock you sprang from."

"But since you made this special trip for Elder Tian, ​​even at the risk of revealing your identity."

That means...

Gong Qing stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, his eyes turning sinister and vicious:

"You care about him a lot."

"Or rather, you care a lot about that secret from back then."

Zhang Taichu remained seated there.

He didn't even lift his eyelids; he simply reached out and slowly straightened a wrinkle on his cuff.

That kind of disregard.

That kind of attitude of treating the other person like they don't exist.

This almost completely depleted the little confidence Gong Qing had just built up.

Gong Qing gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and his voice suddenly rose several octaves:

Do you think killing me will solve the problem?

"How naive!"

"Since I dared to come to Longhu Mountain and dared to touch this old man who knows the core secrets of the Jia Shen Rebellion, wouldn't I leave myself a way out?"

Upon hearing this...

Tian Jinzhong, who had been hiding behind Zhang Taichu, suddenly trembled.

He knew all too well the methods of the Quanxing gang.

They are all-pervasive and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

"A backup plan?"

Zhang Taichu finally stopped what he was doing.

Tell me about it.

Zhang Taichu picked at his ear, his tone languid:

"Let me broaden my horizons and see what tricks you rats in the gutter can pull."

Gong Qing took a deep breath.

He knew this was his only chance.

Whether you can walk out of this door alive depends on whether this all-in hand can intimidate your opponent.

"It's very simple."

Gong Qing grinned, revealing a ferocious smile:

"I had already arranged the manpower before even starting the attack on the mountain."

"As long as I don't go down from Longhu Mountain after midnight tonight, or don't send out a specific signal."

"So..."

He suddenly pointed his finger at Tian Jinzhong.

"Tomorrow morning, news that Tian Jinzhong possesses a path to heaven hidden in his mind will spread throughout the entire world of supernatural beings!"

"I will have people spread the word that the thirty-six thieves from back then did not all die!"

"It is said that although Zhang Huaiyi is dead, he left the source of Qi and the whole truth about the Jia Shen Rebellion to this old man Tian!"

"I would say, whoever obtains Tian Jinzhong will grasp the secret to immortality!"

boom!

These words were spoken.

Tian Jinzhong, who was in a wheelchair, turned deathly pale instantly.

poison!

That's incredibly toxic!

This move is practically driving Longhu Mountain to its doom!

Human nature is greedy.

Even if everyone knows this information was released by Quanxing, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance.

Those big shots stuck in their bottlenecks, those greedy families, and those extraordinary individuals who want to rise to the top in one step.

Will they let this opportunity slip by?

Absolutely not!

At that time, Longhu Mountain will no longer be facing just the Quanxing Sect.

It's the entire world of supernatural beings!

It's the Wang family! It's the Lü family! It's Na Du Tong! It's even the high and mighty Ten Elders Society!

"How is it?"

Seeing Tian Jinzhong's reaction, Gong Qing's smile grew even more smug.

He felt he had made the right bet.

They rediscovered the thrill of being in control.

"Senior, you are very strong."

"That move just now really opened my eyes."

"But I still want to ask you something."

Gong Qing leaned forward, his eyes flashing with a crazed light, and said, word by word:

"Can you protect him for a while, or for a lifetime?"

"When all the extraordinary people in the world rushed towards Longhu Mountain like mad dogs."

"When the four major families used the pretext of righteousness to force the Celestial Master's Mansion to resign."

"What are you planning to do?"

"Should we kill them all?"

At this point, Gong Qing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter was full of sarcasm and provocation.

"Kill all the supernatural beings in the world?"

"Hahaha!"

"That's tens of thousands of lives!"

"That's the foundation of the entire world of Inhumans!"

"Do you dare?"

"Even if you dare to kill, would the Old Celestial Master dare? What about the thousand-year-old foundation of Longhu Mountain?"

"so……"

Gong Qing abruptly stopped laughing, his eyes turning cold as he stared at Zhang Taichu:

"Let me go."

"As long as I get down the mountain safely, this secret will remain a secret."

"From now on, Quanxing will never set foot in Longhu Mountain again."

"This is a great deal, isn't it?"

Having said all that.

Gong Qing leaned against the door and let out a long sigh.

He is waiting.

Wait for the other party to compromise.

In his view, as long as the other party did not want Longhu Mountain to be destroyed and did not want Tian Jinzhong to become the target of public criticism, they had to let him go.

This is the power of wisdom.

This is why Gong Qing was able to secure his position as the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect!

"Are you done talking?"

Just then.

Zhang Taichu sat there.

She gently blew the earwax off her finger, then slowly raised her eyelids to look at Gong Qing, who had a confident expression on his face.

That look in his eyes.

It's like watching a clown who has just finished performing acrobatics, leaving you with a sense of utter boredom after the show is over.

"Is this your backup plan?"

Zhang Taichu shook his head, a faint smile curving his lips.

"I have to say, your brain is definitely a bit better than those useless bunch of people outside who only know how to shout for war."

"But it's only a little bit."

Gong Qing's smile froze.

The unease that had just been suppressed in my heart began to grow wildly again like weeds.

"What...what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything."

Zhang Taichu supported himself on his knees with both hands and slowly stood up.

With his movements.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure once again filled the entire room.

Gong Qing, who had been talking eloquently just moments before, suddenly felt as if someone had grabbed him by the neck.

All pride and confidence crumbled instantly in the face of this oppressive force.

Zhang Taichu walked step by step toward Gong Qing.

With each step I took, the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.

"You just asked me that."

"If the whole world came, would I dare to kill them all?"

Zhang Taichu stopped in front of Gong Qing.

Looking down from a high vantage point.

Those deep eyes seemed to hold a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"I can tell you the answer right now."

He bent down slightly, bringing his face close to Gong Qing's, which was beginning to tremble uncontrollably, and spoke softly as if he were whispering a love confession:

"If they really dare to come."

"Just kill him!"

"As for your concerns about the Longhu Mountain foundation..."

Zhang Taichu straightened up, a hint of disdain on his face:

"As long as I'm still here."

"As long as the Celestial Master is still alive."

"This Longhu Mountain will not collapse."

"If anyone dares to reach out, I'll chop off their hand."

"Anyone who dares to stick their head out, I'll twist their head off."

"If you don't believe me..."

Zhang Taichu chuckled softly, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes:

"You can let your backup plans try it out."

"Look how fast they run."

"My slap is faster."

Gong Qing was completely dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Zhang Taichu would consider the bigger picture, his reputation, and be subject to moral blackmail.

But he was wrong, terribly wrong.

The person in front of me doesn't care about the big picture at all!

He embodies the big picture!

"No...it's impossible..."

Gong Qing collapsed to the ground, his lips trembling, his eyes unfocused.

"You can't do that..."

"You'll become public enemy number one..."

"You will destroy Longhu Mountain..."

"That's my business."

Zhang Taichu interrupted his ramblings.

He reached out and gently patted Gong Qing's cheek.

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

"and."

"Have you forgotten something?"

Zhang Taichu's voice suddenly became somewhat eerie.

"You just said..."

"The rumors will spread as long as you don't go back or send a signal?"

Gong Qing paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

"Yes...that's right..."

"This is a dead end...you can't break it..."

"A dead end?"

Zhang Taichu smiled, a very happy smile.

"Little one, you're still too young."

He slowly raised his right hand, and a faint golden light began to gather at the tip of his index finger.

The golden light wasn't dazzling, but it exuded an aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Have you ever thought about it?

"if……"

"You are not dead."

"I can't even speak."

"Not a single secret can be revealed."

"You can't even... write?"

Zhang Taichu's voice was very soft.

It was like a curse from the deepest hell.

Gong Qing's pupils contracted instantly.

An unprecedented chill ran through me.

"What...what are you going to do?!"

Gong Qing let out a scream that was so terrified it was almost a distorted voice.

He desperately tried to shrink back, to escape the finger that was slowly approaching.

"No!!!"

"You can't do that!!!"

"Kill me! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!!!"

Compared to a fate worse than death, he would rather be killed with a single blow right now!

At least if he dies, he can take Longhu Mountain with him in death!

"Kill you?"

"Wouldn't that be too easy on you?"

Zhang Taichu shook his head, his finger hovering steadily three inches in front of Gong Qing's brow.

"You have such a silver tongue."

"Since you like threatening people with your words so much..."

"After that..."

"Let's not use it then."

Before he could finish speaking...

Zhang Taichu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The golden light at the fingertips suddenly intensified!
