"But in 1944, a massive upheaval swept through the entire world of supernatural beings!"
Chen Qi said.
"What riot?"
Zhang Chulan hurriedly asked.
"At that time, a war broke out in the Dragon Kingdom. Normally, the superhumans would either resist the invaders or hide to avoid the war. However, that year, the superhumans launched a brutal massacre, and all the forces in the superhuman world participated in it!"
Chen Qidao.
"How...how could this be? What could be the reason?"
Not only Zhang Chulan, but even Xu San and Xu Si were stunned.
This is no ordinary secret. Even Feng Zhenghao of the World Society spent a lot of time and effort to find out some of the things that happened back then.
Xu Xiang was able to uncover this extent by leveraging the company's network of contacts and with some guidance from Chen Qi.
The main reason why it is so difficult to investigate is that the elderly people from back then all kept quiet about the matter and were unwilling to reveal anything.
"Actually, if there had been such large-scale conflicts in the world of supernatural beings before the company was established, major sects like the Celestial Master's Mansion of the Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect would definitely have intervened!"
"But during that massacre that year, both factions remained silent and let it go. Only a year later, after the war ended, did they come out and give an excuse, saying that they were too busy fighting the invaders' aliens to care about anything else. But this explanation is untenable!"
"Because the Tang Clan from Sichuan actually contributed the most back then..."
Chen Qi paused for a moment after saying this.
"So what exactly is the reason that these two parties have remained silent on this matter?"
Xu San frowned.
"Back then, the leaders of those forces all kept silent about this matter, and the truth remained elusive. But nothing stays hidden forever. After so many years of investigation, your father, Xu Xiang, has finally learned some of the truth!"
Chen Qidao.
"dad?"
Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance.
"The reason this happened back then was actually to find and compete for eight people!"
Chen Qi said in a deep voice.
"Eight people?"
Zhang Chulan was puzzled.
"Yes, it is rumored that these eight people comprehended eight powers. These eight powers were not some secret manual left by their predecessors. It seems that they were born out of thin air. No one had ever heard of them before, and they were not recorded in the history of supernatural beings. That's why it is said that these eight people comprehended them on their own!"
"These eight powers are known as the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and the Qi Body Source Flow is one of them. The one who possesses it is your grandfather, Zhang Xilin, or rather... Zhang Huaiyi!"
Chen Qi spoke eloquently.
"Eight, eight extraordinary skills, Zhang, Zhang Huaiyi??"
Zhang Chulan was stunned. He had never imagined that his grandfather had such a background.
The waters of this world of supernatural beings are far, far deeper than he had imagined.
"Zhang Huaiyi?"
Xu San suddenly ran to the computer and pulled up the information he had just searched for; he finally found it.
"Zhang Huaiyi was one of the 66th generation disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion, but he was expelled from the mansion in 1944!"
Xu San read out the information in shock.
"Removed from the list? How could that be?"
Zhang Chulan could hardly believe it.

"I don't know the reason either, but your Golden Light Spell, and the one you used when facing the zombies at your grandfather's grave that day, should have been lightning magic, right?"
Chen Qi looked at Zhang Chulan.
"You even know about Lei Fa?"
Zhang Chulan looked up in shock.
"Thunder magic is the core technique of the Celestial Master's Mansion. If the Golden Light Mantra is the foundation of the Celestial Master's Mansion, then thunder magic is an advanced technique with great power. It is also because of the powerful thunder magic that the Celestial Master's Mansion has become one of the leaders of the righteous path in the past two thousand years!"
After Xu Si finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Chulan:
"You're quite something, kid. Didn't you say you only knew the Golden Light Mantra? I didn't expect you to know thunder magic too. Thunder magic in the Celestial Master's Mansion can only be passed down to core high-ranking disciples. It seems your grandfather really is Zhang Huaiyi!"
"The Celestial Master's Mansion... Thunder Magic... Where is the Celestial Master's Mansion?"
After muttering a few words, Zhang Chulan suddenly raised his head.
"Longhu Mountain, didn't I say? Now the entire world of supernatural beings knows your identity. I reckon Longhu Mountain will be coming knocking on our door soon!"
Chen Qidao.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Zhang Chulan was shocked.
"Hey, let's clean house, after all, the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Technique are techniques that the Celestial Master's Mansion doesn't pass on to outsiders!"
Xu Si grinned.
"..."
Zhang Chulan now truly felt that his situation was in grave danger.
"Alright, Fourth Brother, stop scaring Zhang Chulan. What era are we living in? Zhang Chulan is just a child. There's nothing wrong with him being forced to cultivate techniques by his grandfather. The Celestial Master's Mansion won't make things difficult for Zhang Chulan!"
Xu San then spoke.
"Really?"
Zhang Chulan felt a glimmer of hope.
"I'm guessing they'll either take you back to Longhu Mountain to accept you as a disciple, or warn you not to pass on the martial arts techniques. Now that you're a company employee, we'll help you explain the situation!"
Xu Si smiled.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother! Thank you, Third Brother!"
Zhang Chulan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"The problem now isn't Longhu Mountain, it's your Qi Source Flow! All the supernatural forces will be eyeing you!"
Chen Qi's casual remark plunged Zhang Chulan into despair once again.
"Qi, Brother Qi, there's another post updated. This time it's you..."
Just then, Xu San, sitting in front of the computer, suddenly shouted in shock, his tone even showing panic.
"what happened?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Qi and Xu Si picked up their phones and refreshed the website. Soon, a post appeared before their eyes.
"Chen Qi, the successor of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief?"
Chen Qi, Xu San, and Xu Si exchanged glances.
"The successor of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief? Could it be that you, Senior Chen Qi, are also a successor of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"
Zhang Chulan immediately guessed what it was, and while shocked, a secret joy rose in his heart.
With Chen Qi being so powerful, Zhang Chulan felt much more at ease knowing that Chen Qi was on the same boat as him.
Although Chen Qi and the others had previously stated that they would protect him, after learning more about it, Zhang Chulan felt that they were also after his Qi Source Flow.
Now that Chen Qi is also facing problems, Zhang Chulan immediately trusts him more.
This trust is not based on anything else, but on the same circumstances.
Not to mention that Chen Qi's appearance could more or less distract the attention of the supernatural forces, right?
"Hmm? That's strange!"
Chen Qi frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Aside from Feng Baobao and Xu Xiang, only Chairman Zhao of the company headquarters knew that Chen Qi was the successor of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief.
But what were Chairman Zhao's reasons for selling himself out?
"Please stop being obsessed with me~~ Oh, I'm just a legend~~"
Just then, Chen Qi's phone rang.
"Hey?"
Chen Qi answered the phone amidst everyone's attention.
"Yes, I saw it... Oh, I see... Although it was agreed that he had this right, he didn't even give me a heads-up. I thought he was going to turn against me... Okay, I got it... Are you sure...? Then let's leave it at that!"
Chen Qi hung up the phone after speaking.
"what happened?"
Xu San and Xu Xiang hurriedly asked.
"No, it was Chairman Zhao from the head office who pushed me out. The purpose was to relieve some pressure on Zhang Chulan, and also to stir things up so that the company could have more time to discuss the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"
Chen Qi only told half of the story.
According to Xu Xiang, Chairman Zhao wanted to take this opportunity to fully unleash the lingering problems from the Jia Shen year and then find a way to eradicate them in this generation.
Chairman Zhao's idea is that as long as the Eight Extraordinary Techniques don't disappear, the world of supernatural beings will forever be buried with a landmine that no one knows when it will explode.
The power of the explosion is also impossible to guess.
Chairman Zhao prefers to resolve this matter peacefully, even if it takes the efforts of one or two generations, it must be started.

"What do you think, Brother Qi?"
Xu Si rarely spoke in such a serious tone.
"I don't care. If anyone dares to mess with me, I'll wipe them out one by one!"
Chen Qi said indifferently.
"Brother Qi, you absolutely have to protect me! I'm your little follower!!!"
Zhang Chulan shamelessly pounced on Chen Qi and hugged his leg, no longer calling him "senior" but instead calling him "Brother Qi" like Xu Si and the others.
"Chen Qi, are you trying to steal my slaves?!"
Feng Baobao looked at Chen Qi.
"Sister Bao'er, look at what you're saying. I'm still your slave, but at the same time I'm also Brother Qi's little follower. There's no conflict, right?"
Zhang Chulan took shamelessness to the extreme.
"Alright, that's enough for today, baby. Let's go home now. We probably won't be able to enjoy such a leisurely life anymore!"
.... ..... 0
Chen Qi said.
"Yes, Zhang Chulan. Remember to be on call 24/7. If you dare to ignore the phone again like last time, I'll castrate you!"
Feng Baobao said.
"Oh!"
Zhang Chulan nodded repeatedly.
"Third son, Fourth son, I'm leaving Zhang Chulan in your care. Let me know if anything happens. I'm leaving now!"
Chen Qi and Feng Baobao left as the three watched them go.
"Fourth Brother, what do you mean by castingrate me?"
Zhang Chulan didn't understand what I just said.
"It means cutting off your testicles!"
