From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Zhang Jingqing asked Zuo Ruotong.

"No."

Zuo Ruotong also mentioned Jiang Liu's methods, "He learned from his adoptive father and can reverse the eight directions with one hand, but he can go even further. Moreover, he has an innate method, a mutated benign child's fate."

"A child's destiny!"

Zhang Jingqing's exclamation caught the attention of the nearby sect leaders, who all turned to look at Jiang Liu, who was serving Ghost Hand King, and began to have their own thoughts.

Those who are chosen by the leader of the Sanyi Sect must have impeccable character.

Those with a benignly mutated "child spirit" destiny are naturally stronger than others with innate abilities because their special abilities form a self-contained system, not much different from various acquired Qi cultivation methods, and they can also cultivate both body and mind.

"What is his innate ability? Is it the Four Duty Officer? Or the Five Directions Exorcist? Or perhaps the Six Ding and Six Jia?" Zhang Jingqing wanted to find out. Even if it wasn't one of them, he was still interested. After all, there were very few people with a naturally benign child's fate. If he could enter his Longhu Mountain and be properly trained, the Zhengyi sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, might be able to open a new lineage!

“None of those.” Zuo Ruotong shook her head. “But what exactly it is, Zhang Tianshi might be able to see after the Ghost Hand King begins collecting offerings later.”

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see."

Zhang Jingqing also became interested.

It's estimated that it will start soon, and someone will beat Wang Yaozu to death. Jiang Liu couldn't help but step forward and make a move.

At that time-

“I went up and stopped him.”

Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts were almost identical to Zhang Jingqing's, and he even spoke them aloud, asking Zuo Ruotong, "When Master Zuo mentioned practicing, was he referring to Jiang Liu? I've never encountered a child with such a destiny before, and I really want to see just how powerful this innate technique is."

Boom!

Zhang Jingqing tapped Zhang Zhiwei on the head in an annoyed tone and scolded, "I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. This is Ghost Hand King's ritual to leave Quanxing. No matter what happens afterward, for now, it's a good thing that he wants to turn over a new leaf."

“Master Zhang, there’s no need to be so serious. Jiang Liu will make his own decision. Perhaps we can give him a helping hand later,” Zuo Ruotong said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Jingqing didn't think Zuo Ruotong would joke in this kind of situation.

"Let's talk about it after Wang Yaozu's ceremony begins," Zuo Ruotong said, keeping everyone in suspense, but also revealing that "Jiang Liu is much more courageous than anyone here imagines."

What else could Zhang Jingqing say?

We can only wait and see.

At that very moment, members of the Quanxing sect also arrived.

Among the visitors, Jiang Liu recognized four people who were considered friends of Ghost Hand King. The tall, thin man kept several weasels; the woman dressed like a young virgin carried a vegetable basket filled with poisonous snakes; and the last one, a large, bald, ugly man, possessed fairly good external martial arts skills.

The last one remaining is Yuan Jingui.

As for the others, Jiang Liu didn't know them well, nor did he intend to get to know them.

"Old Wang, you've got guts! You're actually going to leave Quanxing for this godson." Yuan Jingui didn't care about the people from various sects present and mocked Ghost Hand King with a grin.

There's no rule against Quanxing members attending the ceremony for leaving Quanxing. As long as they don't cause trouble, the other prominent sects present won't interfere.

Of course, this is only in the public eye.

Privately, if someone were to lay a hand on a member of the Quanxing sect who was present, no one would say anything. After all, they were members of the Quanxing sect, and every single one of them, even if they didn't deserve to die, would have their limbs broken.

“I advise you to leave Quanxing as well.” Ghost Hand King glanced at Yuan Jingui and snorted, “In the territory of Sanyi Sect, if you tell me that your wife has given birth to a son with an anus, I will congratulate you. But having an anus doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have the chance to poop. If your family is raided and wiped out one day, you’ll have something to cry about.”

"Hey, I came to see you, why are you cursing me?" Yuan Jingui wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and pointed at Ghost Hand King's three friends in Quanxing, saying, "You're leaving Quanxing. From now on, those of us who are good friends with you won't be able to drink with you anymore."

"go with!"

Wang Yaozu snorted coldly, "Among the Quanxing, I only get along with a few of you, but do you really only have me as your old friend in the Quanxing?"

I don't think so!

If you really still want to drink with me, that's fine too. After my ritual to gather blessings is over, just find a sturdy pillar and ram your head into it!

If you can't bear it, I'll have my son help you."

The woman carrying a basket of venomous snakes smiled and said, "Old Wang, you really have no mercy. You're making your adopted son use our heads to curry favor with the righteous sects here."

Faced with the mockery, Ghost Hand King scoffed and said, "You are all nameless nobody from Quanxing. How much are your heads worth? My son wouldn't stoop to doing such a thing. It's just that this old man is really afraid of being alone."

"Alright, we just came to take a look, not to mock you," the tall, thin man with a yellow leather coat perched on his shoulder said with a chuckle.

The burly man said to Jiang Liu, "As a son, shouldn't you advise your father? Even if he has never committed any major evils since joining Quanxing, once the initiation ceremony begins, those disciples from prestigious sects and independent cultivators who have suffered because of him can easily kill him with a single punch or kick. For your future, it would be unfilial to just watch him get beaten to death."

Jiang Liu hadn't expected that this seemingly burly fellow would actually possess such a delicate side, but without a word, he circulated his internal energy, letting it spread out—

# Chapter 13 Instant Kill

In an instant, the aura that seemed to soar into the sky spread outwards, causing the dust within a radius of twenty or thirty meters to tremble slightly.

"Such cultivation level!"

Is he really only fifteen?

"Leaving aside his methods, his skill alone is already comparable to that of some of the sect leaders present!"

"No wonder Master Zuo took a liking to him!"

"I'd also heard before that he was a virgin!"

"..."

Zhang Jingqing's eyes gleamed, and she couldn't help but pat Zhang Zhiwei on the shoulder, saying, "See? I told you! Tigers and leopards hide in the deep mountains, and unicorns are buried in the fields!"

"Master is right!"

However, the glint in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes was even brighter.

Since joining Longhu Mountain, he has cultivated himself to this day. There are many in the mountain who are not as good as him, but there is only one who is worse than him, namely his current master: Zhang Jingqing.

Today, however, he encountered a young man from a humble background in the countryside who was younger than him but whose cultivation was no less than his own. He was also tempted to spar with him.

If this weren't the ceremony for the Ghost Hand King of Quanxing to withdraw from Quanxing and for his master to hold his shoulder, I would have liked to rush up and fight him directly.

"Gentlemen, I'm sure you all know very well that I've disliked you ever since I was old enough to understand things."

Jiang Liu didn't care what the other prominent sects thought; he simply spoke his mind, "If you truly consider your master a friend, then please just stand here and watch quietly, shall you?"

"Or what?"

The burly man with the thick skin sneered.

Bang!

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Jiang Liu did not hesitate and threw a punch, striking the burly man in the abdomen.

The man reacted extremely quickly, a golden halo appearing on his body, but it was broken by the fleeting red and blue energy between Jiang Liu's fists.

In an instant, the burly man from Quanxing was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He was sent flying by an invisible force, crashing into a tree about the size of a bowl in the forest before rolling to the ground, severely injured.

“Then I wouldn’t mind killing you all,” Jiang Liu said coldly.

The burly man was not dead.

Killing Wang Yaozu's old friends in front of him, even if they were just cronies, would be going too far. The only option was to severely damage them instead.

"This kid is really something else," Zhang Jingqing commented, but she also felt a genuine fondness for him. However, she felt that bringing him into Longhu Mountain would be even more difficult than dealing with Zhang Zhiwei.

Speaking of Zhang Zhiwei, even when he was being restrained by him, he was still eager to try.

Ghost Hand King's "Reversing Eight Directions" technique has perfected the art of street performers, and all the major sects know a thing or two about it. The Quanxing members who can befriend Ghost Hand King must also be quite skilled. Apart from the leaders of the major sects, it would be impossible for anyone else to defeat him in one move, even if they were to launch a sneak attack.

But Jiang Liu did it!

How could Zhang Zhiwei not be excited?

“Master, you see, there’s still a little time before the start of that ceremony to gather offerings. Why don’t I go and try out that river?” Zhang Zhiwei suggested to Zhang Jingqing. He was incredibly bored on the mountain.

"Don't cause any unnecessary trouble!"

Zhang Jingqing pressed down on Zhang Zhiwei's shoulder and said coldly, "Be patient."

The rest of the Quanxing gang, having witnessed Jiang Liu's prowess, became somewhat interested. One shifty-eyed fellow stepped forward and sneered, "Hey, little brat, pretty good, huh? Want to spar with your uncle?"

Without saying a word, Jiang Liu pressed out with his palm, and the aura that reversed all directions instantly entered his heart, squeezing it hard!

Click!

In an instant, the man's heart shattered, his cold smile turned to astonishment, and he fell straight to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and fell silent.

"hiss--"

The rest of the younger generation from prestigious families all gasped in astonishment.

Most of them knew the nature of the Quanxing gang; if they were killed, no one would stand up for them. But to ask them to kill the Quanxing gang members they encountered so decisively, even if they had the ability, few could bring themselves to do it on the first try.

After all, most of them come from prominent families and have studied under major sects. No matter how reckless the Quanxing people are, they would never actively provoke the younger generation of these prominent families and sects unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, most of these younger generations have also retained their innocence.

Jiang Liu's decisiveness in killing made them realize that they were not only inferior to him in terms of cultivation, but also in terms of temperament.

"Old man, I killed him, you won't mind, will you?" Jiang Liu asked Wang Yaozu after he finished doing all this, ignoring the other Quanxing members who were furious.

"Why should I care? I don't even know them."

Wang Yaozu is indeed a member of Quanxing, but he doesn't know everyone in Quanxing. After all, the rules for joining Quanxing are very simple: just announce your joining publicly. How could he possibly get to know everyone?

He didn't really care that Jiang Liu had killed these few people he was on good terms with.

Jiang Liu spared the life of that tough guy, which was already giving him face as a father. What else could he say? In fact, he really hoped that Jiang Liu would be even more ruthless and kill his old friends as well, so that he could keep him company on the road to the underworld!

It is precisely this ruthless nature that makes the surrounding prestigious sects wary...

However, Wang Yaozu had already figured it out. Given Jiang Liu's temperament, he wouldn't actually join a prestigious sect just because he left Quanxing. As long as these prestigious sects would consider that Wang Yaozu had left Quanxing, they wouldn't bring up his background when they met Jiang Liu in the future, that would be fine.

Given Jiang Liu's behavior and the fact that he has now revealed his strength, Wang Yaozu believes that the various sects will not push him towards Quanxing.

Making friends with one more talented young person is always more cost-effective than having another Quanxing demon.

Especially in these chaotic times, having more friends always means having more options.

After receiving Wang Yaozu's approval, Jiang Liu addressed the remaining Quanxing members he didn't recognize: "I don't want things to get out of hand later, so if you don't want to leave your lives behind, then leave. And a few uncles and aunts, this is the first time I've addressed you like this. If you want to watch the show, that's fine, but if you talk nonsense, I don't mind crippling you."

"high!"
