Without waiting for me to react, the other three people also stood up at the same time. The middle-aged man with the Perfect Acupoint Pressing realm said, "Elder Lu, don't be impatient. That Zhao Wenshan's lineage met with a calamity a few decades ago, and is now lacking in talent. However, in the early years, he was the leader of our guest Metaphysics world. No matter if it's spells or magic tools, he naturally has his own strengths. We can't break this restriction for now, but there's no need to be angry. Wait for President Zhang to deal with things over there and come back, then we'll think of something."
President Zhang?
Hearing this name, my heart froze. Previously in the mourning hall, I heard that the filial son was President Zhang's youngest son, so I had some suspicions. Could it be that Old Man Zhao's death had something to do with President Zhang?
I've heard Zhang Wenfei mention the Meizhou branch's president before. His name is Zhang Bingcheng, and he seems to have some sort of relationship with Zhang Wenfei. However, I've never met him, so I don't have a clear impression of him.
What made me even more uneasy was that although Zhang Wenfei and Old Man Zhao were from the Wen Shan lineage, they were also members of the Metaphysics Society. If this was really done by Zhang Bingcheng, then wouldn't it be internal strife in the Metaphysics world?
The Metaphysics Society had always had strict rules, and Zhang Kanwen was a director of the headquarters, while Zhang Bingcheng was just a small branch president. Where did he get the guts from?
Also, from what the middle-aged man said, the Glory of Consciousness realm elder was clearly not Zhang Bingcheng, but some "Elder Lu". How could the Meizhou branch have two people in the Glory of Consciousness realm?
From the looks of it, there was probably an external power involved in this matter.
At this moment, the Glory of Consciousness realm "Elder Lu" nodded and said, "Fine, we'll wait for President Zhang to come back before we deal with it. You three be careful, I'll meditate and heal my injuries."
With that, he sat down cross-legged again. Before he closed his eyes, he said to the Yin Yang Yama Brush that was wrapped in a halo of light, "Surnamed Zhao, I advise you not to resist anymore. No matter how strong this restriction of yours is, it will be opened sooner or later. Now that you've opened it, I can still make the decision to send you into reincarnation.
If you persist in going about things the wrong way, when we forcefully break the restriction in the future, it won't be that easy for your soul to dissipate! "
His words startled me. What kind of barrier is Mr. Zhao's soul hiding in?
No wonder I failed to summon the soul. It wasn't the culprit who did something to it, but he fused his soul into the restriction to protect this magic tool.
I frowned and pondered for a while. When I looked up, Old Man Lu had already closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
At this moment, among the four of them, two were at the Nine Apertures Acupuncture Point Realm, one was at the Completed Acupuncture Point Realm, and the last was at the Glory of Consciousness Realm.
The three people in the Acupuncture Point Realm aren't much of a threat, I have the confidence to deal with them alone. Only the old man in the Glory of Consciousness realm is a problem. Although his pupils are strong, he has just reached the Ghost King realm after all. It isn't a problem to deal with ghosts, but against a Fengshui Master, I'm afraid he can only barely fight with the early stage of Glory of Consciousness.
As for this old man surnamed Lu, I can't see through his strength. If he is at the middle stage of the Glorious Memory realm and I make a move rashly, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain any advantage.
Fortunately, he was currently recuperating from his injuries, which gave me a chance.
With the protection of the dark green energy, Tong Tong and I could ambush him. Even if Old Man Lu is at the middle stage of Glory of Consciousness, if we attacked him, we could hurt him or even kill him.
I didn't like to take risks, but Mr. Zhao's soul was in the restriction. These people said that Zhang Bingcheng would come back soon. At that time, I was afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to ambush him.
Only by fighting with his life on the line might he be able to save Old Master Zhao's soul and the truth of what had happened would come to light.
After making up my mind, I called Tong Tong and told her about my plan to ambush him. Tong Tong always listened to me. She didn't care if it was dangerous or not.
It was the same this time. After I told her, she didn't say a word. She quietly urged the Yin energy in her body, creating a dark ball of light in her hands. Then, she nodded and said to me, "Brother, I'm ready."
I also took out the Pure Yang Talisman I had prepared earlier. I used the dark green energy to isolate the surroundings. At the same time, I read the Pure Yang Divine Spell and made a Pure Yang hand seal. Soon, the Pure Yang Karma Flame condensed on my fingertips.
Once everything was ready, aside from the old man surnamed Lu, the other three sat down cross-legged and began to recover their Dao Qi.
It was the best chance to ambush him. I didn't have to worry anymore. I covered Tong Tong and my body with the dark green energy to ensure that no wisp of their aura leaked out. Then, I took Tong Tong and quietly sneaked into the room.
Tong Tong and I didn't make a sound. With the dark green energy isolating our auras, the other four didn't react even when we arrived in front of Old Man Lu.
The dark green energy was perfect at isolating Dao energy. However, cultivators had an instinctive reaction to danger. I didn't dare to move forward. I stopped and directly pressed the Pure Yang Karma Flame in my hands toward Old Man Lu's body.
At the same time, I secretly told Tong Tong to take action.
Tong Tong didn't slow down. The dark ball of light in her hands turned into a black talisman. Together with my Pure Yang Karma Flame, she pressed it toward Old Man Lu's forehead.
Talisman techniques could only be used by cultivators. I had never heard of ghosts using such techniques. Tong Tong had never used them before. However, judging from the aura of the black talisman, it was even denser than the Heavenly Yin energy that Tong Tong had used to defeat the Well Ghost. It was likely that she had cultivated this technique after she had advanced to the Ghost King realm.
The two of us attacked at the same time. Intense Dao energy and Yin energy fluctuated, causing a great commotion. Old Man Lu suddenly opened his eyes. However, before he could react, the Pure Yang Karma Flame and the black talisman reached him at the same time.
He only had time to read half of the spell when a scarlet flame rose from his body. At the same time, a wisp of black energy reached him and enveloped half of his body.
Old Man Lu immediately screamed. Half of his body was enveloped in the cold black energy, while the other half was enveloped in the scarlet flame. It looked extremely strange.
The loud sound caused the other three people in the room to stand up. However, after successfully ambushing Old Man Lu, the other three were no longer a concern. I didn't rush to take action. Instead, I stood to the side with Tong Tong, on guard to prevent Old Man Lu from counterattacking in a desperate situation.
However, it was obvious that I was overthinking. Regardless of whether it was the Pure Yang Karma Flame or the black talisman in Tong Tong's hands, they were extremely powerful. They were enough to cause fatal damage to someone in the Glorious Memory realm. Old Man Lu had no way of fighting back. He could only desperately resist the two Yin and Yang techniques. The Dao energy on his body grew weaker and weaker. In the end, he closed his eyes and fainted.
Truth be told, the old man surnamed Lu's reaction was already very fast in a situation where he was ambushed. Unfortunately, whether it was hand seals, talismans, or spells, they all required a process. Only when one reached the Celestial Master Realm and could use a one-word spell would they be able to do it instantly.
Old Man Lu hadn't reached the Heavenly Master realm, so the outcome was already decided.
Of course, this didn't mean that Tong Tong and I could deal with any Glorious Memory realm Fengshui master. This Old Man Lu was obviously below the three-star realm. As long as he was above the three-star realm, he would be able to block the Pure Yang Karma Flame and the black talisman. If he attacked Tong Tong and me, we would be the ones to lose.
The situation wasn't clear yet, so I didn't kill him. After Old Man Lu fainted, I turned to attack the other three.
Seeing that Tong and I had successfully ambushed the old man surnamed Lu, the remaining three naturally knew that they were no match for us. Seeing that I was about to make a move, the three of them tacitly made the same choice, and that was to run!
The three of them rushed towards the door. However, as they were all Fengshui masters of the Pressure Point Realm, their speed couldn't compare to mine, let alone my magic tool. I waved the Heavenly Fan in my hand, and the Lonely Grave Map appeared, trapping the three of them within. Tong Tong also chased after them, and with a wave of the two black chains in his hands, he wrapped them around the three's bodies and dragged them back.
When the three of them returned to me, the Dao Qi in their bodies had already been completely sealed by Tong Tong. They fell to the ground in exhaustion, and all of them had expressions of defeat.
In the end, it was the middle-aged man who had completed the Pressure Point Realm who sat up and carefully said to me, "Daoist friend, why did you ambush us? Is there a misunderstanding?"
I shook my head and chuckled, but didn't reply to his question. I only told Tong Tong to look after them. Then, I got up and walked to the Yin Yang Yama Brush that was surrounded by a halo of light. I asked, "Is Old Man Zhao here?
I am a good friend of Zhang Wenfei, and we met once before. I wonder if Old Man Zhao still remembers me? "
After I asked this question, no sound came from the Yin Yang Yama Brush. Instead, Old Man Zhao's urgent voice appeared in my mind. He said to me, "Little friend Zhou Yi, it's not good to stay here for long. I will remove the restriction now. Quickly take the Yin Yang Yama Brush and leave this place. I will tell you the details later."
Old Man Zhao was obviously very clear about the current situation, and he urged me to leave as soon as he spoke.
I originally wanted to interrogate the four people in the room, but since Old Man Zhao had said so, I could only give up. After the halo of the Yin Yang Yama Brush disappeared, I reached out and grabbed it. Then, I lifted my feet and was about to leave.
However, after leaving, I was a little hesitant.
Although I didn't know the specific details, the four people in the room had seen my appearance. With my reputation in the Metaphysics world, as long as they wanted to, it would be easy for them to find out my identity.
Since the day my parents died, I had become more and more careful. It was best to eliminate this kind of danger in the bud … In short, I would be most at ease if I killed the four of them.
However, this was four lives after all, so I was still a little hesitant.
At this moment, the three people who were still conscious clearly saw through my thoughts. It was the middle-aged man who had sealed his acupoints completely. He suddenly stood up from the ground and said to me in a threatening manner, "Fellow Daoist, do you know the background of this Elder Lu that you ambushed?
He is a member of the Lu family in the capital!
I advise you to be smart and run away now. It's not too late.
If you have any crooked thoughts, you should know the power of the Lu family in the capital since you are also a person of the Metaphysics world. When the time comes, you will have nowhere to hide! "
Hearing his words, I was stunned at first, and then my eyes quickly turned blood red.
The Lu family in the capital!
Lu Zhenyang!
The scene from a few months ago instantly appeared in front of me. After a moment of silence, I took out the Pure Yang Talisman and chanted the Pure Yang incantation. In an instant, the Pure Yang Karma Fire appeared on my fingertip.
The middle-aged man seemed to realize that something was wrong. He wanted to say something, but I didn't give him the chance. I directly waved the Pure Yang Karma Fire. In the blink of an eye, the three people screamed and burned into a sea of fire.
After dealing with the three of them, I turned my head and looked at the unconscious old man surnamed Lu lying on the ground.
