Under One Person: The Sea Emperor Who Shattered Heaven and Earth

He did a lot of mental work. He gritted his teeth, looked at Jiang Zhen, and in the end, his obsession with finding the truth prevailed.

"Never mind... We have to find out what kind of world this is going to become."

Wang Ye took a deep breath and took a step forward.

Suddenly, a strange bird call came from the night sky above.

"Cuckoo-"

A huge owl suddenly flew out from the dense canopy. The owl flew extremely fast, and just as it was about to land, a distorted light and shadow suddenly appeared on its body.

As if conjuring a person out of thin air, the owl transformed in mid-air, instantly becoming an old man wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with messy hair and looking crazy.

"Clap."

The old man landed steadily on the ground.

Upon seeing the old man's appearance, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding bigwigs, including Lu Jin, Lü Ren, and Wang Ai, instantly became extremely solemn.

"Brother, this... this old thing is still alive?" Lu Ci said to Lu Ren beside him in a low voice, his tone full of disbelief.

Wang Ye stared at the disheveled, crazy old man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely stunned. He pointed at the man, bewildered, and stammered, "You...you are..."

However, the person who came didn't even glance at Wang Ye.

After the mad old man landed, his expression instantly became extremely solemn. He straightened his tattered Taoist robe, took three steps forward, and bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhen.

"Chief Jiang."

Then he turned to Zhang Zhiwei and bowed in the same manner: "Greetings, Celestial Master."

"I'll take this arrogant and unfilial descendant back and discipline him."

Wang Ye's mind went blank for a moment, his eyes widened instantly, and he stared intently at the disheveled old man in front of him, finally confirming the man's identity:

"You...you are Master Zhou Sheng?!"

The master of Feng Hou Qi Men, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves who caused decades of bloodshed in the entire circle back then—Zhou Sheng!

Zhou Sheng turned his head slightly, glared at Wang Ye with his eyes, and said angrily, "It's me! Little Ye, you come here!"

"Hey! The advisor's here!"

Wang felt a chill run down his spine from Zhou Sheng's gaze, and immediately shrank back, scurrying to Zhou Sheng's side.

Zhou Sheng looked at Wang Ye, who stood in front of him, pale-faced and with a questioning look in his eyes, and sized him up. "Good boy, stand still, don't move."

Zhou Sheng patted Wang Ye's shoulder with a forced smile, his tone so gentle it sent chills down Wang Ye's spine. Wang Ye was a little confused and straightened his back obediently: "Master, what are you trying to do?"

The next second, Zhou Sheng's face instantly turned furious. He took a step to the side and swiftly picked up a thick wooden stick from the bushes on the ground.

"What am I going to do? I'm going to beat you to death tonight, you bastard!!"

Zhou Sheng cursed loudly, swung the wooden stick in his hand, and with a piercing whistling sound, slammed it hard into Wang Ye's buttocks!

"Snapped!!"

"Awooo————!!!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream, so shrill it was almost unrecognizable, instantly echoed throughout the entire back of Longhu Mountain.

Wang Ye was knocked half a meter off the ground and was seen bungee jumping wildly on the ground while clutching his buttocks.

"Master! Ouch! My dear Master! Why did you hit me?! It hurts! It hurts!!"

But Zhou Sheng had no intention of stopping. He grabbed his stick and chased after Wang Ye relentlessly, the stick falling like raindrops.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Ouch! Oh! It hurts so much! Help, Master! Sea Emperor, help me!!" Wang was whipped so hard he jumped up and down, constantly letting out all sorts of strange screams.

As Zhou Sheng fought, his beard flew wildly with rage, and he pointed at Wang Ye's nose, cursing loudly:

"You insolent bastard! You dare to go inside and ask about anything?! Huh?! How many heads do you have?!"

"I held you back in the inner realm all night! You stubborn bastard, you kept asking me questions all night long! If I had been even a fraction slower, you would have been completely annihilated, not even a hair left!!"

Upon hearing Zhou Sheng's outburst of curses, the expressions of the bigwigs who had been watching the show around them changed drastically once again.

Based on speculation and Zhou Sheng's reaction, Wang Ye actually attempted to divine the matter of "Jiang Zhen" within the inner realm?!

The group of sorcerers all gave Wang Ye a thumbs up. He was incredibly bold to try to deduce an existence of this caliber. It was no different from sticking his head into a meat grinder!

"Snapped!!!"

Zhou Sheng struck Wang Ye hard on the back with the stick again, knocking Wang Ye to the ground and making him groan.

Zhou Sheng threw away the wooden stick that had broken in two, pointed at Wang Ye, who was rubbing his buttocks and covered in cold sweat on the ground, spat, and cursed with lingering anger:

"What were you trying to do just now? You dare to meddle in everything! You're looking for death, aren't you? You ignorant brat! If I don't beat you half to death today, you'll die of your curiosity sooner or later! Now get up and come with me! Don't get in the way of Chief Jiang and the Celestial Master!!"

Wang Ye lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Master... I was wrong, please stop hitting me, I'll go with you right now..."

Wang Ye grimaced as he got up from the ground and limped behind Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng bowed again to Jiang Zhen and the old Celestial Master in the pavilion, then waved his hand, and with Wang Ye, whose face was full of bitterness, he transformed into a black wind and disappeared into the dark forest of Longhu Mountain amidst the shocked gazes of the group of strange people.

Chapter 164 A World in Chaos

Qu Tong's earth-shattering declaration, burning with divine power, was not merely like dropping a nuclear bomb on a calm lake; it was like tearing the fig leaf covering supernatural forces to shreds in front of billions of people worldwide.

The balance of order between "mortals and superhumans," which had been hidden in the shadows and maintained for who knows how long, was completely destroyed that night.

What made Longguo even more uneasy was that after Qu Tong announced the end, apart from the entourage accompanying Jiang Zhen, the New World people scattered throughout Longguo who were traveling or visiting relatives did not hesitate at all. They came out from various provinces and cities and began to rush towards the same direction at full speed without stopping, with a clear goal—Longhu Mountain.

For a time, groups of New World personnel could be seen everywhere at major transportation hubs, on highways and railways. They wore uniform white coats with the word "Justice" printed on the back, their steps were hurried and orderly, and wherever they passed, the air was filled with a sense of impending doom.

The Dragon Kingdom's official monitoring network detected the massive movement of this supernatural force immediately. However, faced with this movement of hundreds of thousands, all regional leaders received orders from above at the same time:

"No obstruction! No checks! Clear the way!"

At this extremely sensitive juncture, where the slightest misstep could reshape the global landscape, everyone knows that if a subordinate accidentally creates a misunderstanding that angers the new world or infuriates the person atop Longhu Mountain, the consequences would be unbearable.

Most importantly, we need to figure out what that maritime emperor really means.

The authorities didn't stop it, but the general public went completely crazy.

Qu Tong's announcement was etched into everyone's minds. Now, a large number of people with unusual demeanor and hurried manners have suddenly appeared in reality. How could the people not understand?

"Look! Look at that person's outfit! Those clothes... isn't that the subordinate of that Sea King from my dream the other day?!"

"My God! So... they're the superpowered people I was talking about?!"

In the plaza of a high-speed rail station, a dozen or so people from New World were preparing to enter the station. Because of Qu Tong's public appearance, they were instantly stared at by countless ordinary people around them with expressions of fanaticism, fear, and curiosity.

As more and more ordinary people gathered around them, the whispers grew louder, and hundreds of people began to excitedly surround them, the New World man frowned slightly.

"Don't get into a conflict with them, go somewhere else."

As soon as the words were spoken, the true qi beneath the feet of these dozen or so people erupted with a thunderous roar. Under the stunned gazes of hundreds and thousands of ordinary people, they stomped violently in the void.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a series of muffled air explosions, the dozen or so people suddenly rose into the air, stepping on the air as if running wildly on invisible steps, leaving more than a dozen afterimages in the sky before disappearing into the distance.

This visually stunning supernatural miracle plunged the previously bustling square into a deathly silence, followed by a deafening roar of hysteria and screams that seemed to tear roofs off.

"It's real! The voice in my head is real!! Superpowers really exist in this world!!"

"They can fly! They were just flying on air!!"

"Wait a minute! If the Sea Emperor's subordinates have superpowers... then do our traditional reclusive sects in China, like Taoism, Shaolin, and Wudang, also possess such abilities?!"

"Of course it exists! How could something passed down from our ancestors be fake! Quick, let's go to Longhu Mountain! Let's go to Wudang Mountain!!"

"Isn't there some martial arts school or something that's recruiting recently? Hurry up and check it out! It'll be too late if you're late!!"

"Who knows, maybe I'm one in a million martial arts genius?!"

After one night, not only orthodox famous mountains with extraordinary people like Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, but even ordinary folk martial arts schools in various cities that usually only teach ordinary people to strengthen their bodies and practice some basic punches were flooded with a large number of ordinary people with crazy expressions and shining eyes.

Some people blocked the entrance of the martial arts school with their bedding rolls, some took pictures of the school's sign with their phones, and some even stood in a horse stance right in front of the school, saying they would start practicing now.

Just when the outside world was in complete chaos, a rumbling sound from the back of Longhu Mountain broke the silence once again.

A jet-black military helicopter, bearing the highest level of clearance, forcibly landed on the open ground behind the mountain. The wind whipped up by its rotors sent fallen branches and leaves flying everywhere.

Before the cabin door had fully stabilized, Zhao Fangxu, chairman of Nadutong, jumped out from inside, covered in sweat.

Behind him followed Duanmu Ying, who had a strange expression and crossed his arms.

Zhao Fangxu walked very fast, almost jogging, through the people standing around the pavilion.

Lu Jin, Lü Ren, Wang Ai, and the other ten prominent figures stood there with grim expressions. Seeing Zhao Fangxu fly back at any cost, their faces twitched. This indicated that the higher-ups were now completely uneasy.

Zhao Fangxu had no time to care what the Ten Elders thought; he ran into the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, Jiang Zhen and Zhang Zhiwei were chatting about something.

"Huh...huh..."

Zhao Fangxu stopped and took a few deep breaths. He looked at Jiang Zhen, who was sitting there.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and went straight to the point:

"Uncle Jiang, I believe you already know what's happening outside."

Zhao Fangxu's voice was hoarse with extreme anxiety. He swallowed hard and stared intently at Jiang Zhen.

"That crazy woman Qu Tong used her self-harmed and fragmented soul over the past few decades as a trigger to forcibly imprint the existence of the Extraordinary and your name into the minds of billions of people around the world. Her declaration before her death has brought everything into the open."

"Right now, official organizations around the world, including those in the United States and Europe, are completely terrified. They've been bombarding our foreign affairs departments with calls all day long!"

"Those foreign officials are now frantically trying to find out if you really intend to follow Qu Tong's words in the consciousness space about 'submitting to the new world and eradicating the disobedient'? Do you really intend to completely reshuffle the entire world as Qu Tong said?"

As soon as Zhao Fangxu finished speaking, the entire pavilion and even the surrounding woods within a few hundred meters of the back mountain fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared at Jiang Zhen without moving.

They were all too aware of the weight of Zhao Fangxu's question. Every word Jiang Zhen uttered would directly determine whether, at sunrise tomorrow morning, the world would erupt into a global supernatural war or continue with its daily lives.

Faced with Zhao Fangxu's questioning, which was almost filled with despair and panic, Jiang Zhen simply poured out the cold tea in his hand.

Seeing this, Huang Chunjie immediately bent down and silently and skillfully poured Jiang Zhen another cup of hot tea.
