After Ala Di walked down, the people from the Nanyang Taoist faction surrounded him. Their expressions were angry as they loudly said something. I didn't need to listen to know that they were condemning Ala Di for giving up on the competition.
It was a pity that Ala Di didn't pay attention to these people. Instead, he had a strange smile on his face as he stood there. His eyes were still looking at me, giving me goosebumps.
At that moment, President Xu, Chen Shuhe, and the others walked over with surprised expressions and announced the result of the exchange. Afterwards, Chen Shuhe walked over and said to the leader of the Nanyang Taoist faction, Lin Zhong, "Now that the competition has ended, according to the previous bet, your Ghost Raising Sect's Liang Kaixiong matter will no longer be pursued … … Also, I have a small gift for you."
After saying that, he took out a book titled "Introduction to Metaphysics" and handed it over to Lin Zhong.
Previously, when this exchange was decided, the people from the Nanyang Taoist faction had added a condition. They said that if they won, they would give us their Taoist books. Now that we were the ones who won, Chen Shuhe had already prepared this kind of common printed material to mock them.
Lin Zhong naturally understood Chen Shuhe's intentions. After remaining silent for a while with a dark expression, he turned around and left with his group.
After they left, the people from the Guangdong branch could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and cheered. Zhang Kanwen and a few other youngsters rushed over and surrounded me, loudly congratulating me. President Xu, Chen Shuhe, and the other older people also stood to the side and smiled at me.
After Zhang Kanwen and the others calmed down, Chen Shuhe walked in front of me and said emotionally, "When you obtained the title of Young Phoenix, I only thought that you were a talented youngster. But now, it seems that you are worthy of the title of Young Phoenix. With your pressure points, you were able to defeat the four great Glorious Knowledge experts of the Nanyang Taoist faction. This kind of glory is enough for you to be called the number one of the younger generation in the Metaphysics world!
In the future, it wouldn't be impossible to remove the words' younger generation 'from the world. "
I could understand his agitation, but this evaluation was a bit too high. There were many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the world of Metaphysics, especially those hidden families and sects. I knew of the geniuses of the Corpse Sect, the Han Family, and the Zhang Family. There were many that I didn't know of. I really didn't dare to be called number one.
I smirked but didn't reply. Chen Shuhe didn't say much. He just invited President Xu and the others to a celebratory party. We should get drunk.
I thought he would ask us to come too, but he said we young people would not be happy in the company of old men, so he left us to celebrate on our own.
Then, he pulled President Xu and the others and left. Zhang Kanwen and Zhang Wenfei, the two brothers, dragged me to a nearby restaurant and celebrated. I returned to the hotel in a drunken state after midnight. I fell asleep on my bed and didn't wake up until the sun was high up in the sky.
After waking up, I circulated my Dao Qi, and the alcohol was gone. However, I wasn't in a hurry to get up. Instead, I lay there lazily and thought about the black-clothed Ah Zan.
From how the Kuman Thong had bitten off the first Yin-Yang Fish, I could see that they weren't afraid of the Yin-Yang Fish. Moreover, the second Yin-Yang Fish had an extra dark green energy compared to the first one.
It was obvious that the black-clothed Ah Zan had knelt down and admitted defeat because of the dark green energy. I vaguely remembered that he had said something about the power of the nine spirits … Did the black-clothed Ah Zan know what the dark green energy was?
According to my previous speculation, the dark green energy was the residual power of the Dao Qi, but I wasn't sure. Moreover, since the black-clothed Ah Zan knew this power, had he come into contact with it?
I suddenly thought of a possibility. The dark green energy came from the Tai Sui. Had the black-clothed Ah Zan come into contact with another Tai Sui?
During the trip to the Corpse Sect, I had a vague feeling that the Tai Sui was the corpse of the Star of Time, and there were only four Stars of Time. If the giant corpse of the Corpse Sect was really the Tai Sui, then I had already seen two Tai Sui, and there were still two I hadn't seen yet.
If I could find the third Tai Sui through the black-clothed Ah Zan, it would be the best.
I couldn't cultivate the dark green energy, so I could only absorb it from the Black Bead. Most of the Black Bead's energy was used to isolate the aura of the True Dragon Vein.
I wouldn't be able to come into contact with the giant corpse of the Corpse Sect in a short time. If I could find the third Tai Sui, maybe I could get another Black Bead that I could absorb.
The people from the Nanyang Dao wouldn't leave so soon. I thought about it and immediately called Wang Yongjun. I wanted him to help me find out where the people from the Nanyang Dao were staying.
However, the call didn't go through. I guessed that Wang Yongjun was busy. I thought for a while then called Dai Nanzhou. He was Wang Yongjun's assistant, so I could ask him to take care of this matter.
It turned out that Dai Nanzhou was very efficient. In the afternoon, he called me back. Not only did he tell me the hotel where the people from the Nanyang Dao were staying, but he also told me something else.
He told me that when he went to the Four Seasons Hotel to check the room number of the Nanyang Dao people, he met Xu Ziyu.
When I heard the name, I didn't remember. After a few seconds, I remembered what had happened that year. "Xu Ziyu, how are you doing now?"
Dai Nanzhou hesitated for a while then said, "Xu Ziyu doesn't seem to be doing well. When I met him today, he looked very strange. His face seemed to have a dark aura. Moreover, when I met him, I saw him enter the room of the black-clothed Ah Zan of the Nanyang Dao group."
I was surprised. How did Xu Ziyu get involved with the people from the Nanyang Dao group?
In recent years, I've heard news about Xu Ziyu on and off. She's now a very famous female celebrity. In the entertainment circle, there are often rumors of people going to Southeast Asia to visit various eminent monks. Could it be that Xu Ziyu is in the same situation?
It was understandable, but Dai Nanzhou said that Xu Ziyu's face seemed to have a layer of dark energy. This was even stranger. I had seen Xu Ziyu's glabella on the TV, but I couldn't see it clearly through the TV screen, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Dai Nanzhou was just an ordinary person. If he could see something strange on Xu Ziyu's face, things wouldn't be that simple.
While I was pondering, Dai Nanzhou hurriedly asked, "No matter what, we're old classmates. Do you want to check on her?"
After hesitating for a while, I nodded and agreed.
Xu Ziyu seemed to have some connection with the black-clothed Ah Zan, and I also needed to contact him. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check on Xu Ziyu first.
After I agreed, Dai Nanzhou immediately told me Xu Ziyu's address. I couldn't help but laugh. This fellow was really warm-hearted. He had already prepared everything.
Xu Ziyu was a celebrity, after all, and ordinary people couldn't meet her. However, Dai Nanzhou had used Wang Yongjun's connections to contact the CEO of an entertainment company in Hong Kong. He then arranged for someone to take us to the hotel where Xu Ziyu was staying.
The moment I saw Xu Ziyu, I furrowed my brows.
Dai Nanzhou wasn't wrong. Xu Ziyu had encountered a big problem.
Her glabella was dark, and anyone with a bit of knowledge about geomancy could see that she didn't have long to live.
I used my Dao energy to check on her soul. Then, I found out that her fate wasn't in danger, but that her three souls were unstable. The dark glabella was a sign that her life soul was unstable.
If I wasn't wrong, Xu Ziyu only had half a month left to live. Moreover, her three souls were unstable, which caused her to be sick and her memory to deteriorate. She seemed to be in a trance.
Logically speaking, her body should be very haggard, but the strange thing was that when I looked at her, I felt an indescribable attraction.
I looked at her for a long time, but I didn't understand what was going on. But soon, I found a small gilded doll on her body, which reminded me of the Kuman Thong of Ah Zan.
Was it possible that Xu Ziyu's situation was because she had been supporting the Kuman Thong?
At this time, Xu Ziyu's expression also changed. It was obvious that she recognized me and Dai Nanzhou. But strangely, Xu Ziyu pretended not to know us. With a cold face, she asked the assistant next to her to chase us out.
Dai Nanzhou scolded Xu Ziyu with a gloomy face. I had a strange feeling in my heart. Xu Ziyu knew who I was, and logically speaking, she should be asking me for help. Why did she pretend not to know me and chase me out?
Before I could figure it out, a figure suddenly walked in front of Dai Nanzhou and me. He said to me with a strange tone and a faint smile, "Little Brother Zhou Yi, do you still remember me?"
I looked up and saw a white-haired old man wearing sunglasses. His body was emitting Dao energy, and he seemed to be in the early stage of the acupoint sealing realm.
I frowned, but before I could say anything, the old man took off his sunglasses and said with a smile, "You should recognize me now, right?"
He was right. The moment he took off his sunglasses, I recognized him. This person was Professor Deng Meng, who had killed the child in Xu Ziyu's stomach!
After so many years, this evil person from back then had actually appeared in front of me again.
Before I could say anything, Deng Meng put his sunglasses back on and looked at me emotionally. "Back then, I thought that you were quite talented, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you still don't have much Dao energy. What a pity."
Hearing his words, I felt a little strange. My current realm far surpassed his, and with the dark green energy concealing me, it was normal that he couldn't see through my cultivation.
But I didn't expect him to think that my cultivation was too low.
