One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

"Almost there, the enemy has already shown their face. We should be able to see more clues by tomorrow!"

Zhi Jinhua smiled.

"Brother Qi, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, what's going on?"

Zhang Chulan looked completely bewildered.

"You'll know when you go!"

Chen Qi led Feng Baobao and Chen Duo and followed them.

"Let's go!"

Xu Si patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder and then followed.

Finally, Zhang Chulan, whose expression was inscrutable, quickly followed the others.

In a courtyard nestled against a cliff on the back mountain

When Chen Qi and his two groups arrived, the door to the inner room was open.

The three celestial masters, Zhang Zhiwei, Tian Jinzhong, and Lu Jin, sat in a row inside waiting.

Several young Taoist priests were serving him, and behind Tian Jinzhong stood a tall and burly middle-aged Taoist priest.

"Guys, please!"

Lu Linglong welcomed Chen Qi and his group in with great generosity. Her uprightness, optimism, and resilience made Chen Qi take a second look at her.

"Is this the Lu family's tradition? It's so obvious in a young girl!"

Chen Qi admired it in his heart.

Even with his extensive knowledge of the supernatural world, Chen Qi greatly admired the Lu family's approach to educating their descendants.

"Mr. Xu San, Mr. Xu Si, and this young brother Chen Qi, hello all three of you! Chu Lan, please come in!"

The old celestial master spoke first as he looked at the group of people who had entered.

"Old Master, this is sexism! You didn't even say hello to Bao Bao and Duo'er!"

Chen Qi strode in and said with a relaxed expression.

"Oh? Hehehe, it was my oversight. Times have indeed changed. But even when I was young, I would never have disrespected women. You wouldn't be secretly recording a video of me on Douyin and posting it online to get me cyberbullied, would you? That would affect the tourism industry of Longhu Mountain!"

The old master chuckled.

"Wow, you really know a lot, sir!"

Zhang Chulan listened with a blank expression; he had become accustomed to the ancient yet modern things on Longhu Mountain over the past few days.

Chapter 88 Meeting Lu Jin, Talking About Four Arrogant People!

"Hehe, everything has to keep up with the times, right? Now I watch those bonsai bloggers' live streams every day, and I follow along to grow flowers and play with birds. Come on, Miss Feng, Miss Chen, come in quickly!"

The old master chuckled and didn't forget to add Feng Baobao and Chen Duo.

"Master, who is this...?"

Zhang Chulan looked at Tian Jinzhong.

"Come and pay your respects. This is also your advisor, Tian Jinzhong. Back in Longhu Mountain, Jinzhong, your grandfather Huaiyi, and I were the closest friends!"

The old Taoist priest said.

"Hahaha, Master Jinzhong, then I must—kowtow to you!"

The next second, Zhang Chulan knelt down in front of Tian Jinzhong with a big smile on his face and kowtowed three times.

It was incredibly crisp and fresh.

"I go!!"

"Don't shake Bilian!"

"Suck up!"

"I concede defeat..."

This scene left Wang Ergou, Xiao Xiao, Canglong, Zhi Jinhua, and the others stunned.

"Oh shit!"

"This boy!"

"It's still the same!"

Xu San, Xu Si, and Chen Qi put their hands to their foreheads, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"This must be Old Master Lu Jin, right? I should also give you..."

Zhang Chulan wasn't satisfied yet, and turned to Lu Jin, wanting to kowtow again.

"No, thank you, I can't accept such a gift!"

Lu Jin quickly waved his hand, both amused and exasperated.

"Don't be like that, sir. I really need to thank you properly. Without you offering the Tongtian Scroll, the Luotian Grand Ceremony wouldn't have been so lively. Please accept my thanks!"

Zhang Chulan smiled and kowtowed again.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, Lao Tian, ​​this kid is making fun of me, he's got some nerve!"

Lu Jin laughed.

"Heh heh heh, doesn't he even know whose grandson he is!"

The old master and Tian Jinzhong both laughed.

"Alright, kid, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. I can promise you one thing. As long as it's not against my conscience, I'll do it for you no matter how difficult it is!"

Lu Jin said happily.

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Zhang Chulan was overjoyed.

"Being shameless can definitely bring you a lot of benefits!"

Chen Qi and the group of onlookers around him were filled with emotion.

"Old Lu, let's get down to business!"

Master Tian said.

"Okay, bring it up!"

Lu Jin waved his hand.

Two young Taoist priests led in a person whose face was somewhat distorted and who looked mentally unstable.

"Huh? Hu Jie?"

Zhang Chulan was stunned when he saw this person, and then he remembered what Chen Qi and the others had just said about Hu Jie's arrest.

"The day before yesterday morning, the head of the Ludong region received a report and rushed to the scene, only to find that Hu Lin of Hujiazhuang had died in his own manor. There were signs of a fierce fight at the scene, indicating that a master was fighting against several enemies!"

Xu Si said.

"Ah!! You, you!!!"

Hu Jie, who was already delirious, suddenly stared wide-eyed at Chen Qi.

"Oh? You still remember me after what happened that day?"

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow and looked over.

"Huh? What's going on? Brother Chen Qi and Hu Jie have met before?"

Seeing this, Lu Jin asked.

"Of course, I was there when his father, Hu Lin, died, and I was the one who reported the case!"

Chen Qi said directly.

"What!!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this, including Xu San and Xu Si.

"Brother Qi, why didn't you mention this to us? And weren't you supposed to be with us at the hotel down the mountain that day?"

Xu San asked in shock.

Everyone else stared intently at Chen Qi, waiting for his answer.

"There's nothing wrong with talking about this. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you both know that I had an ambiguous relationship with Xia He from Quanxing before, right?"

Chen Qi said.

"What??"

"Quanxing Xiahe?"

"Four madmen?"

"Xia He, the bone-scraping knife?"

"Unclear?"

This shocked Lu Linglong and her group of young people even more, but their eyes also lit up with a burning desire for gossip.

"I know, Xia He wasn't a member of Quanxing back then. After she joined, you two rarely interacted. It was only this time, when they captured Chu Lan, that they called Ding Shian, which prompted you to take action!"

Xu Si nodded.

"Yes, for the past few years I've always felt that Xia He had some kind of hardship, and that she joined Quanxing against her will, so I've been tracking her. That day I received news of her whereabouts, so I immediately rushed to Hujiazhuang in the next province to check!"

Chen Qi said.

"The results of it?"

Lu Jin and the others understood Chen Qi's motives for investigating Xia He, since they had a past relationship and it was normal for him to want to help her.

"As a result, all four madmen of Quanxing were there, and they used Hu Lin's manor as their stronghold. When I arrived, I happened to see Hu Jie being manipulated by them and killing his own father, Hu Lin, with his own hands!"

0 ······Requesting flowers··· ·········

Chen Qi said in a deep voice.

"what!!!"

These words shocked everyone.

"Kill, kill my own father!!!"

Zhang Chulan's pupils shrank sharply, deeply shocked.

"Chu Lan, the world of supernatural beings is just this cruel..."

Seeing Zhang Chulan's discomfort, Tian Jinzhong spoke up to comfort him for the first time.

"I...I know, Master Tian...but to kill one's own father..."

Zhang Chulan was still unable to come to his senses.

"Hmph, so what? Those bastards from Quanxing have always been lawless and do whatever they want. The Four Madmen of Quanxing are especially known for manipulating people's minds. They're a bunch of beasts!"

Lu Jin snorted coldly.

Lu Jin has a deep-seated hatred for Quanxing; his sect, Sanyi Sect, was destroyed by Quanxing.

.... ..... 0

"Hu Jie is indeed bewitched by the Four Madmen of Quanxing. He has also fallen for the tricks of Shen Chong, one of the Four Madmen, known as 'Root of Calamity,' which is why we were able to catch him this time!"

Lu Linglong said calmly.

"The Four Madmen of Quanxing... Shen Chong is the root of all evil..."

Zhang Chulan looked up at Lu Linglong.

Since entering the world of supernatural beings, the name he heard most often from Quanxing was "Four Madmen," and he had also met Xia He.

"The root of the trouble is Shen Chong. His ability is 'usury.' He can make contracts with others, control people to hunt other superhumans, absorb the Qi of the dead to strengthen himself, and extract a portion of the Qi as interest for every superhuman he kills!"

"The more superhumans he hunts, the higher the percentage of interest he earns, eventually turning those under his control into mad, bloodthirsty killers consumed by greed and power!"
