Gong Qing looked coldly at Tian Jinzhong: "Second Grand Tutor, everyone knows you're the most tight-lipped. I wasn't planning on asking you, Lü Liang!"
The blond-haired boy standing to the side was none other than Lü Liang. Lü Liang, covered in a layer of blue qi, slowly raised his hand.
"Huh? You!" Tian Jinzhong completely lost his composure. He felt that the blond-haired boy looked somewhat familiar when he first saw him. "Stop! You two wicked children don't understand anything!"
The blue light emanating from Lü Liang's hand approached Tian Jinzhong's head.
"The character '巽' (xùn) represents a wind rope!"
At this critical moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly appeared, followed by a transparent wind rope that firmly secured Lü Liang's hands, preventing him from getting any closer to Tian Jinzhong.
Lü Liang's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm, "Save me!"
Although the Soul-Enlightening Technique is powerful, it is ultimately just a support skill. Even with the complete Dual-Handed Technique, it doesn't significantly increase combat power; at most, it only makes one less susceptible to injury. Faced with this unexpected situation, Lü Liang's first reaction was naturally to call for help.
However, Gong Qing couldn't care less about Lü Liang; he only had one thought in his mind.
We've been spotted! Run!
To become the leader of Quanxing, even if only as an acting leader, requires a decisiveness that is difficult for ordinary people to match.
When he saw that the rope had bound Lü Liang's hands, he knew he had fallen into someone's trap.
Regardless of how he was exposed, now that he has been exposed, he only has one choice.
run! ! !
"The clapper of the gong!!!"
But it was too late. A sudden clapper sounded, freezing Gong Qing in place, unable to move.
The person who made the move used sorcery; the one who used the wind rope was Zhuge Qing, and the one who used the chaotic metal clapper was Wang Ye.
These two should have gone their separate ways after Wang Ye's competition ended.
But Luke kept them there, and the two of them gave Luke face, so they became the soldiers lying in ambush there that night.
"It's you two! 々々!"
Tian Jinzhong thought that the secret he had kept for decades was about to be lost, and he had already prepared himself to die. He did not expect that things would change, so he was not in a hurry to die.
"Hey, Old Tian, we meet again. Old Qing, what's up?! Hurry up and make your move, I can't control him anymore."
Mr. Wang greeted Tian Jinzhong, and then called out to Zhuge Qing who was standing to the side.
Wang Ye's Chaotic Golden Tuan can transport people to another dimension, where time flows differently from the real dimension. In short, it pauses or slows down time for people or things in that area.
However, this is conditional. How long it can be fixed depends entirely on the extent of the other party's influence on the world, which is the so-called weight of fate.
For example, when Wang Ye used this move on the Old Celestial Master, he could only freeze the Old Celestial Master for a moment, which exhausted all of Wang Ye's Qi.
This is not only because the Celestial Master possesses profound spiritual cultivation, but also because of his great influence in this world.
For example, in the original novel, Wang Ye also used the Chaotic Golden Bell on Feng Baobao, but Feng Baobao didn't even stop. Is it because Feng Baobao is stronger than the Celestial Master?
Of course not, it's because Feng Baobao's immortality has a greater impact on the world than the Old Celestial Master's.
Although Gong Qing was of lowly birth and died young, his power and influence were considerable.
In the original story, it was precisely because of his actions on Longhu Mountain that the Old Celestial Master came down the mountain and wreaked havoc, almost wiping out the entire Quanxing. This incident indirectly increased his influence, making him extremely close in importance to the Old Celestial Master, which is why it was so difficult for Wang Ye to restrain him.
Moreover, since Gong Qing had already revealed his identity as the acting leader of Quanxing, Wang Ye was genuinely afraid that he might have some other tricks up his sleeve, so he didn't dare to release Luan Jin Tuo for the time being.
Zhuge Qing stepped forward, bowed to Tian Jinzhong, and then teased him.
"Oh dear, who is this? Isn't this Master Wang? If even Master Wang couldn't handle this opponent, how could I, a defeated opponent of Master Wang, possibly defeat him?"
Wang Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, Lao Qing, you're being unreasonable! I tried to advise you, but you wouldn't listen. How can you blame me?"
Zhuge Qing squinted, waved his hand, and said, "I know, I know, hey, it was just a joke, why can't you take a joke?"
Wang Ye's lips twitched: "Screw you, hurry up and do it. This acting leader of Quanxing has too much power. I don't know what he's been up to. Even my Chaotic Golden Tuo can barely hold him still."
"Alright, untie him! He can't escape."
Zhuge Qing said confidently.
"Then I'll believe you."
"Disrupt the chaotic clapper! Release it!!!"
The moment he regained his senses, Gong Qing wanted to run away.
As for Lü Liang, well, who cares about him at a time like this? It's good enough if he can even take care of himself.
However, upon seeing the tall, expressionless figure outside the door, Gong Qing froze, gave a wry smile, and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Gong Qing, acting leader of Quanxing, greets the Celestial Master."
The tall figure blocking the doorway was none other than the Celestial Master. The moment Gong Qing saw the Celestial Master, he knew he was doomed, so there was no point in trying to escape.
Seeing this, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and jokingly scolded Zhuge Qing.
"You, Zhuge Qing, you knew the Celestial Master was coming all along, didn't you?"
Zhuge Qing smiled slightly and said, "Not at all, it's just that my eyesight is a little better, and I saw the figure of the old Celestial Master."
Wang Ye looked at Zhuge Qing suspiciously and said, "Old Qing, you think you have good eyesight with those small eyes?"
The veins on Zhuge Qing's forehead were almost bulging, and he opened his eyes as wide as possible.
"I just like to squint, who told you my eyes are small?"
Wang Ye gave an awkward smile, shrank back, and dared not speak.
The old master ignored the joke between the two juniors and instead stared at Gong Qing for a long time before speaking.
"My junior brother really has a lot of influence, that he actually troubles the acting head of Quanxing to clean up his excrement, serve him tea and water."
Inside the room, Tian Jinzhong's lips twitched, and he said with dissatisfaction, "Senior brother, what are you saying? It's as if I eat and drink that stuff."
The old celestial master remained silent, then suddenly gave Gong Qing a large sinus and roared angrily.
"You fiend, how dare you associate my junior brother with such filth! You truly have no remorse."
Gong Qing, who had initially maintained the demeanor of a sect leader, was slapped across the nose by the Old Celestial Master. His eyes rolled back instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, his limbs twitching involuntarily. Clearly, the Old Celestial Master's blow was quite forceful!
Chapter 109: One Person's Story: Ding Shian Appears
"Hiss! *2"
Although they knew that Gong Qing deserved his punishment, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing still gasped in shock when they saw the old master slap him.
As for Lü Liang, he was about to curse Gong Qing when Gong Qing decisively abandoned him and prepared to run away.
But when he saw the old master slap Gong Qing to the ground, Lü Liang couldn't help but feel relieved that he had been arrested long ago.
However, thinking about what he would face after being arrested, Lü Liang's legs began to go weak.
"Hehehe, young Wang Ye, young friend Zhuge, I must thank you for saving my junior brother!"
The old master bowed to Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing.
Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing dared not accept the offer and quickly stepped aside, feeling flattered.
"Old Master, please don't accept this. We can't accept it. Besides, it's not entirely our doing. Luke ordered us to lie in ambush here to protect Old Master Tian. You should thank him instead."
The old celestial master suddenly realized something and seemed to be deep in thought.
"It turns out it's him!"
Tian Jinzhong, sitting in his wheelchair, said, "I thank you all, I should thank you all. By the way, senior brother, how did you know that something had happened here?"
The old celestial master slowly said, "I encountered Rongshan and felt that something was wrong, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see such a good show as soon as I arrived."
Because three of the four madmen of the 520 Quanxing were killed by Luke, Lu Jin was not in danger of going into a demonic state. The Old Master did not have to waste time saving Lu Jin, so the time to meet Rong Shan was much earlier.
Let's move the timeline forward a bit, to after Rongshan was lured away by Gong Qing.
When the old master saw Rongshan, he was clearly taken aback: "What are you doing here?"
Rong Shan threw a blood-covered man wearing a Longhu Mountain Taoist robe onto the ground: "Hehehehe, this kid actually disguised himself as someone from the mountain to try and ambush me. Hehehehe, which fellow disciple on the mountain don't I recognize? Trying to fool me?"
At this moment, the old Celestial Master's tone was somewhat displeased: "I asked you what you were doing here? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on your Uncle Tian?"
"Uh..." Rong Shan immediately broke out in a sweat. Seeing his master's anger, he quickly explained, "My master's side has been very quiet, no one's causing trouble. But they're causing so much trouble on the mountain, I just wanted to help..."
"Foolish!" the old master scolded.
Rongshan was startled and said as he hurried back, "Master, no one has ever come here to cause trouble. Not to mention the Quanxing people, even people from our mountain rarely come here."
The old master snorted coldly: "Old Tian has no ability to protect himself at all. What if something happens to him?"
"It's alright, it'll be alright!" Rong Shan didn't know if he was comforting the old master, himself, or both.
What happened next is self-explanatory. The old celestial master rushed over at breakneck speed and caught up with Gong Qing, who was trying to escape.
"Wow!!!"
Speaking of Rongshan, Rongshan, who was kneeling outside the room, finally burst into tears, his face covered in sobs.
Upon arriving, Rong Shan was genuinely panicked, fearing that his negligence might have put Tian Jinzhong in danger.
He was completely stunned when he heard Gong Qing reveal his identity.
At that moment, Rong Shan felt like the sky had fallen. If Tian Jinzhong hadn't been safe and sound, he probably would have truly collapsed by now.
That's exactly how it was in the original story. When Rong Shan saw Tian Jinzhong's corpse, he opened his mouth wide but couldn't make a sound. If the Old Master hadn't slapped him in time, Rong Shan would have been crippled.
Sometimes crying is very important; it's a way to release emotions. Some emotions need to be released, otherwise, if they are kept inside, they will eventually become a problem.
"Rongshan, nothing happened to me. Besides, it's not your fault. Stop crying. You're a grown man. Get up."
Tian Jinzhong had no disciples or descendants, so Zhang Zhiwei's disciples were like his children, especially Rong Shan, who had been by his side for many years. Seeing Rong Shan so sad, (cbdd) immediately spoke up to comfort him.
The old celestial master glanced at Rong Shan and scolded, "Ignore him. If he's not ashamed, let him cry. Let him kneel there. He's a grown man and he has no judgment at all. He deserves it."
That's why the Old Master knows how to teach his disciples; he knew that Rongshan needed a reprimand, not comfort, at this moment.
Only in this way can Rongshan's guilt be reduced.
"Speaking of Luke, where did that kid go? This old man should really thank him!"
Of course, the old master knew where Luke was, but was the question he asked really "Where is Luke?"
His question was how Luke knew about Gong Qing. After all, Gong Qing had been infiltrating Longhu Mountain for so many years, and so many people in the Celestial Master's Mansion hadn't discovered his identity. How did Luke find out, and even know about Gong Qing's plan, and arrange for Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing to guard this place in advance?
