Zhao Fangxu: Erzhuang, is your trick really effective?
Erzhuang: "(`?ω??) "
Do you think anyone even talks about the company anymore?
Zhao Fangxu: Ah, this...
As the company muddied the waters, Lu Xuan's ruthless methods were no longer the hot topic; instead, his good looks became the main subject of discussion.
No one really cared about Shen Chong's death. Loan sharks are disliked everywhere, and even within the Quanxing sect, some of their relatives and friends had been killed by Shen Chong.
The members of Quanxing all believed they deserved to die, so naturally no one spoke up for Quanxing.
Shen Chong's death caused Lu Xuan to become an even bigger topic of discussion, and he was directly ranked at the top of the list of the most handsome young superhumans in the world of superhumans.
The rumors, both true and false, are becoming increasingly confusing...
It is said, just said, that the Taoist priest from Wudang was a master of extraordinary cultivation. He killed the Quanxing sect member who was trying to collect his debt in a single move because he didn't want to pay his bill while drinking at a bar.
It is said, and it is only said, that the Taoist priest who came down from Wudang was ruthless and cruel. Shen Chong was chopped to pieces just because he did not offer a toast.
It is said, or rather, just said, that Shen Chong died because the lights were not turned on, causing wither skeletons to spawn in the mine.
There are even rumors that the Taoist priest from Wudang was dismembered by the righteous Taoist priest Lu because he tried to borrow Shen Chong's Qi, and Shen Chong refused.
The news spread quietly, even reaching Xia He and Lü Liang, who were secretly plotting an operation under Gong Qing's orders.
Beep beep! The call is connected.
"Acting Sect Leader?"
Hearing Xia He's seductive voice on the other end of the phone, even Gong Qing felt a surge of heat in his heart.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts that were rising in his mind, Gong Qing spoke coldly.
Have you received any news recently?
Xia He's charming voice came through.
"Got it."
"That's good."
"I heard... it was Shen Chong who refused?"
Gong Qing: "(@_@;)?"
Gong Qinggang breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face fell again upon hearing Xia He's reply.
"No? What news did you hear?"
"Is not it?"
On the other end of the phone, Lü Liang sat on the sofa looking at the news on his phone and couldn't help but speak up.
"According to the news I read at Jianghu Xiaozhan, Master Lu from Wudang didn't pay for his drinks and tried to borrow money from Shen Chong. When Shen Chong refused, he was beaten to death!"
"Can't you guys watch something serious for once?"
Gong Qing couldn't help but swear, and was almost driven mad with anger.
On the other end of the phone, Xia He chuckled softly.
"What? Shen Chong isn't really dead?!"
There have been too many true and false rumors circulating in the world of supernatural beings lately.
Xia He and Lü Liang knew Shen Chong's abilities best and didn't believe he was really dead.
Shen Chong has accumulated a lot of Qi over the years using his abilities, not to mention that he has also honed his physical body, making him especially skilled in close combat.
With Shen Chong's strength, he is a top-tier individual in the world of supernatural beings. Even if he were to run into disciples of orthodox Taoist sects, he wouldn't suffer any losses. If he couldn't win, he could at least run away!
Could he really have died at the hands of an unknown Wudang disciple?
“You don’t know the accurate information, but I do.”
"That Taoist priest from Wudang... he's terrifying!"
Gong Qing's voice carried a hint of fear.
He thought of the secrets he had heard during his years of hiding in Longhu Mountain and the conversation the old Celestial Master and the others had had a couple of days ago.
I heard that Wudang took in a peerless genius twenty years ago and even received the inheritance of Lu Zu. At that time, the sound of ten thousand swords resounding in Wudang shook the entire Taoist sect.
The old master and Lu Jin were filled with emotion as they spoke.
They all exclaimed that Wudang was flourishing in this era, and that a new True Man of Penetrating Subtlety and Manifestation had emerged.
Master Lu Jin spoke with great fervor, constantly mentioning the Jiazi Extermination of Demons and the annihilation of the Quanxing Sect.
Gong Qing, listening from the side, was so excited that he wished he could cut off his own head, the acting leader of Quanxing, to cheer for Old Master Lu Jin.
...What a ghost!
Gong Qing was terrified as he listened, fearing that he would be discovered the next second and then dragged out and beheaded by Lu Jin.
Most importantly, coincidentally, the peerless genius they were talking about who shook the Daoist sect had the same name and looked exactly like Lu Xuan!
Gong Qing: "..."
What a coincidence!
Just by looking at that, I know we absolutely can't beat them!
As the target of Lu Jin's "Jiazi Demon Slayer" and "Pacify Quanxing," Gong Qing is now terrified that Xia He and the others will go to their deaths without knowing the accurate information.
He can't sleep well at night now and is already thinking about whether to ask Master Tian for the secret to not being able to sleep.
fine! fine!
Although neither of them believed Shen Chong was dead, they didn't go looking for Lu Xuan to die.
My plan is about to begin; now the most important thing is to execute it...
"You should cut off all contact with others and start the plan as soon as possible."
Gong Qingping calmed himself down.
Have you found a suitable candidate?
Xia He looked at Lü Liang, who scratched his head helplessly.
"I managed to get in touch with someone from the Liu family a couple of days ago, but then the contact was suddenly cut off."
Lü Liang pondered for a moment.
"Could it be that after hearing that Shen Chong was killed, they felt there was no future in joining the Quanxing Sect and were afraid to join?"
As he was pondering, Lü Liang's phone suddenly vibrated, and his eyes lit up when he saw the message.
"We've made contact again."
"Acting Sect Leader, everything's fine on my end now!"
"That's fine."
Gong Qing breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the plan proceeded normally, there wouldn't be any problems.
"You need to act quickly, I'm worried that things might change if you delay."
Lü Liang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the messages on his phone.
He quickly frowned again.
"Strange!"
"What's wrong, Xiao Liangzi?"
Looking up, Xia He, with her pink hair, lay on her side on the sofa, looking directly at him. The curves of her body beneath her pink hair rose and fell, making him subconsciously want to…
Lu Liang snapped back to his senses and dared not look again.
"Sister Xia, stop playing around! We have important business to attend to."
"Oh?" Xia He raised an eyebrow slightly: "What important matter?"
Lü Liang looked at his phone, somewhat puzzled.
"That person from the Liu family said she just happened to be in Tianjin. Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?"
"maybe?"
Xia He smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned.
"As long as she can help, isn't that enough?"
"makes sense."
Lü Liang nodded; their plan was the most important thing now.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Rising to Sainthood and Shattering the Void.
The Yongle Palace was quite quiet late at night, and the vast palace complex appeared even more solemn in the darkness.
Lu Xuan, dressed in a plain Taoist robe, entered the main hall under the guidance of a young Taoist disciple.
These past few days, Lu Xuan has been telling fortunes at the entrance of Yongle Palace, so naturally he had to inform Yongle Palace, essentially registering his business there.
Because Zhou Meng had informed them in advance, Lu Xuan's request to enter the hall to pay his respects after the temple closed at night was easily approved.
After all, Taoist practitioners have a tradition of engaging in worldly cultivation, and it is common for them to stay and visit each other.
Lu Xuan's identity was not considered a secret within the Daoist sect.
Strictly speaking, Lu Xuan was nominally considered half a member of the Yongle Palace.
This place was originally built to commemorate Lü Zu, and it contains countless murals.
These magnificent murals are art and history in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of practitioners, they represent the inheritance of the extraordinary world.
These magnificent and colorful murals contain the hard work and ideas of the ancestors of the supernatural world, and every stroke is filled with the wisdom they have come to understand.
For ordinary people with supernatural abilities, these murals are meaningless, since looking at them will not help them improve their cultivation or help them comprehend any supernatural powers or techniques.
But for those Taoist masters who truly cultivate themselves, these murals are priceless treasures.
