Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

The flying zombie's escape once again weighed heavily on Jiang Xue's mind, and her expression became much more listless.

Even hypersonic missiles can't do anything about it, she really doesn't know what to do!

Looking at Ling Feng's solemn face, she actually felt quite regretful.

In particular, he should not have repeatedly questioned his judgment on the flying zombie behavior.

"So what do you think we should do now? Make more sky lanterns to track it?"

"The Kongming lanterns are useless!" Ling Feng flicked the ash from his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said in a deep voice:

"Besides, even if the Kongming lantern can be located, so what? The real problem is how to force it out."

This creature is cunning in that once it has been fooled, it will never fall for the same trick twice.

Even if you keep bombing it with bunker-buster missiles, it will only hide even more thoroughly and will never come out again.

Jiang Xue's heart tightened immediately, and her voice became much more urgent:

"What can we do? We can't just leave this thing unattended, can we? Its dangers are terrifying!"

"Now you're panicking? At this point... we have no choice but to call in reinforcements!"

"Call for backup? Call for backup what?"

"My senior disciples from the Maoshan sect!"

"You have a senior disciple?" Jiang Xue paused, then asked in surprise:

"When you submitted your information before, didn't you say that no one taught you how to do it?"

Wait a minute... what did you just say about your sect?

Maoshan? Which Maoshan? Is it the long-lost Shangqing Maoshan sect?

"..." Ling Feng was a little stunned, and his whole body froze on the spot.

What does "long lost" mean? When did Maoshan cease to exist in this world?

Could it be that there has been a huge break in the transmission of the Daoist tradition in this world?

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, only staring at her intently, Jiang Xue felt a chill run down her spine.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Ling Feng dropped the cigarette he was holding, stood up abruptly, and asked, word by word:

"Did you just say that the Maoshan tradition has been lost?"

"Yes...yes!" Jiang Xue was startled by Ling Feng's strong reaction.

"Isn't this common knowledge? If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

The already somber atmosphere in the command post became even quieter.

Everyone held their breath, watching Ling Feng cautiously, but no one made a sound.

Ling Feng ignored everyone else and kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Xue.

His eyes were almost covered with a thick layer of frost.

How did Maoshan martial arts become lost? Why were they lost?

"This... I'm not so sure about that." Jiang Xue felt a chill run down her spine under that sharp gaze.

"I'm not lying to you. Even though there are relevant records in the Special Affairs Bureau's archives, they are very sloppy and vague."

It is said that more than a hundred years ago, the entire Taoist sect encountered an unprecedented upheaval!

No one knows exactly what happened, and from then on, the Shangqing Maoshan lineage was completely severed.

No, it should be said that... countless sects have lost their orthodox lineage!

"Countless gates?" Ling Feng murmured to himself upon hearing this.

"You mean, it's not just Maoshan that has lost its teachings? All the other Taoist schools have lost theirs too?"

"That's right!" Jiang Xue nodded slightly, her tone even carrying a hint of regret and helplessness:

"That upheaval swept through almost the entire Taoist community, including nearly all the renowned sects of that time!"

"Are all the major sects, such as Quanzhen, Longhushan, Gezaoshan, Qingwei, and Lingbao, included?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xue continued, ignoring Ling Feng's gloomy expression.

"After that great upheaval, the major Taoist sects with complete lineages almost lost their lineage!"

From then on...slowly...as time went by, it could no longer hold on.

"No wonder..." Ling Feng closed his eyes in pain, muttering to himself.

His previous doubts were resolved; he had indeed guessed correctly—there really was a problem with the lineage's transmission.

"So... what kind of sects are still existing today?"

"They're basically all small sects and factions that remained from before the great upheaval!"

"A small, insignificant sect?"

"Yes! Because they were less affected by the impact, the lineage wasn't completely severed!"

Ling Feng really didn't know what to say; he felt a tightness in his chest and a deep sense of frustration.

Is being too strong a sin?

The renowned sects such as the Three Mountains Talismans and the Northern School of Quanzhen lost their lineage in an unknown catastrophe.

On the contrary, those insignificant little sects that were initially overlooked managed to survive by sheer luck.

It's truly...sigh...life is unpredictable! No wonder so many things in this world...

While he couldn't understand it, he also felt it was somewhat ambiguous, and couldn't muster any curiosity to investigate it.

However, this was also his own fault; he had spent nearly a year in the past, busy integrating the legacy within his mind.

I have never taken the time to delve into the hidden past of this world.

It wasn't until today, when it was mentioned by chance, that I came to understand part of the cruel truth.

……

After a moment of silence, Ling Feng's grim expression gradually softened.

Then, with a serious expression, he continued to ask Jiang Xue beside him:

"Is there any mention of this in the Special Affairs Bureau's archives?"

What exactly happened during that great upheaval?

"No!" Jiang Xue shook her head, her answer crisp and decisive.

Ling Feng grew somewhat anxious: "How could it not have been mentioned? Did you not read it carefully?"

"Please!" Jiang Xue rolled her eyes, speechless, her voice a mix of exasperation and amusement.

"That happened more than a hundred years ago. How could the Special Affairs Bureau possibly know so much about it?"

Moreover, more than a hundred years ago, that was the darkest and most turbulent era in the Great Xia Dynasty.

For the next few decades, the land of China was embroiled in war and chaos.

Ancient Taoist texts, Taoist manuscripts, and even remnants of people who personally experienced the great upheaval—

During that long period of war, it gradually disappeared into the long river of history.

After hearing all this, Ling Feng's last hope vanished, but unwilling to give up, he asked one more question:

"If everything is gone, why does the Special Affairs Bureau still have those records?"

"That happened later!" Jiang Xue organized her thoughts and continued:

"With the complete end of the Dark Turmoil, the Great Xia of China was officially established!"

Although the light has arrived, some unnatural and unusual events still occasionally occur.

In order to deal with these matters, the predecessor of the Special Affairs Bureau, the Dao An Society, was quickly established.

The full name of the Daoist Safety Council is the Daoist Safety Council. Just hearing the name of this department...

You should know that the members of this organization are basically Taoists.

It could be considered a semi-official organization, but it was basically managed by the Taoist sects themselves...
