Chapter 23 Action
Fu Xuan had another purpose in having the Feng family release the news, besides ensuring Zhang Chulan's qualification for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony...
This is the situation we are in today.
As mentioned before, his first priority upon returning was to complete his unfinished business, and his second priority was to settle scores with his enemies. Of the seven families gathered this time, six had participated in the siege back then...
This is the perfect opportunity to take action!
Of course, with his current cultivation level, it was obviously impossible for him to deal with these old men. Let alone fighting them, it would be very difficult to even put his own Qi into their bodies.
Throughout history, in the world of supernatural beings, no matter how strange or unpredictable the methods used, what matters most in a fight is the strength of one's life force. If one's life force is strong enough, one can be impervious to all magic and unbreakable by any magic. This is why he didn't go to Longhu Mountain immediately.
but……
Fu Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked down at Feng Zhenghao. Now that he had people among the Ten Elders, he could use them to infiltrate, divide and conquer them one by one.
In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to obtain the "Heavenly Scroll" in order to awaken a powerful "henchman"...
He was the one who comprehended the "Tongtian Lu".
Zheng Zibu!
In fact, Feng Tianyang saved more than eleven brothers and sisters, including Zheng Zibu. However, when Feng Tianyang arrived, Zheng Zibu had already died, so he could only save his soul first.
Because he suffered greatly before his death, not only was his physical body damaged, but his soul was also incomplete. Therefore, he is still in a deep sleep with a confused mind and needs to have his soul restored before he can recover.
Fortunately, Zheng Zibu absorbed Fu Xuan's Qi, and with Feng Tianyang's years of care, his soul and consciousness did not dissipate into his inner realm, thus reducing the difficulty of repair.
After examining the patient, Fu Xuan determined the method: to use his own Qi to inscribe the operation of the Tongtian Talisman into the patient's soul...
This is the foundation of his spiritual practice.
It also possesses the ability to invoke divine powers.
It can draw upon the mysteries of heaven and earth to repair itself!
Having already made up his mind, Fu Xuan remained calm and composed, his gaze sweeping across the "pavilion" below.
At this very moment, the once quaint and exquisite pavilion had been reduced to ruins, leaving everyone stunned...
"Old Lu! What are you doing!"
"Senior Lu!"
Lu Jin's face darkened.
"Hmph, those of my generation among you might have guessed it, this is one of the Thirteen Extraordinary Skills of the Jia Shen Year—the Heavenly Talisman!"
"So the rumors were true!"
Both Wang and Lü exchanged glances.
"The reason I called everyone here today is to formally announce that if the person selected for this conference does not intend to become the successor of the Celestial Master... then I will pass on this 'Heavenly Register' to them!"
"What?!"
Everyone was taken aback.
Chen Jinkui's first reaction was: "This...this could be one of the thirteen legendary skills that supposedly caused the Jia Shen Rebellion?!"
"It's the real deal, you can ask these senior figures if you don't believe me..." Lu Jin nodded.
Lu Ci frowned: "Hmph, what a fine 'immaculate life'! You seemed so virtuous back then, I thought the rumors were untrue, but it turns out they're true. You're the ultimate beneficiary of this turmoil!"
"Forget it..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin suddenly sighed, "So many years have passed... yet I still remember that scene!"
His eyes flickered, as if he had returned to the scene when he saw his dearest friend, Zheng Zibu of the Shangqing School, crawling to him on the verge of death.
"After my brother comprehended this 'Heavenly Talisman,' he was relentlessly hunted down. Outnumbered and tortured beyond recognition, he barely escaped, only to discover that his hometown had also been destroyed by those guys..."
"He was unwilling to let his insights be lost forever, so he finally found me and passed on this unique skill to me!"
Mentioning this, Lu Jin's face showed sorrow again: "I still can't forget the unwilling expression on his face before he died. Oh, by the way, he also told me the names of the group of people who were chasing him... Would you two like to hear them?"
He glanced at Wang and Lü, his eyes sharpening.
Wang Ai lowered her head, avoiding eye contact: "Ahem! It's all ancient history..."
Lu Ci waved his hand, "Forget it, Brother Lu, let's not talk about it. Let's get down to business!"
Zhang Zhiwei then spoke up: "Brother Lu! Are you really going to offer up the Tongtian Talisman? This might cause..."
"Old Master, don't you understand? It's better to guide than to suppress!"
"This matter has been suppressed for so many years, yet the mere appearance of Zhang Chulan has stirred up trouble from all sides; that speaks volumes!"
Lu Jin raised his hand, and talismans materialized out of thin air, his words carrying a pointed meaning: "The Quanxing Sect? Although those people are utterly wicked, at least they dare to take responsibility for their actions! The truly dangerous ones are those masked troublemakers!"
"Back then, you, Longhushan, and Lu Jin, among others, stood idly by to protect ourselves from the tragedy. Did we really think we were innocent? Besides, I'm over a hundred years old; how many more years do I have left to live? This time, I won't stand idly by!"
"Don't all people want this power...?"
"No need to steal it, just take it!"
Seeing that Lu Jin was determined, Zhang Zhiwei didn't say anything more. He couldn't control this matter, so he could only nod and say, "Alright then, we'll do as you say."
The other five people exchanged glances, their faces darkening. They knew perfectly well why he had done this, but they were helpless to stop him.
With that, the purpose of the gathering was achieved, and everyone dispersed. Fu Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time, also took action.
"First target: Muyou."
Hearing the command in his mind, Feng Zhenghao adjusted his glasses and walked to Mu You's side: "Brother Mu, I have something I'd like to talk to you about. Shall we find a place?"
"Oh?"
Mu You, completely oblivious, said, "Then let's go!"
No one would have imagined that this rising star, the youngest of the "Ten Elders," and a universally acknowledged ambitious figure in the martial arts world, would be someone else's subordinate and would even plot against others in the territory of Longhu Mountain.
Therefore, in Mu You's view, this was just a perfectly normal exchange of information. He also happened to be very concerned about Zhang Chulan's affairs, and perhaps he could get something useful...
As for what he can give...
There are so many!
This is precisely why Fu Xuan made him his primary target. As the leader of China's premier intelligence organization, he was not only recognized by the people of the world but also possessed a vast amount of information.
If he can take it down, he will gain access to China's largest intelligence network, making it easier and more credible to collect intelligence and release information in the future.
As for the other three...
The Lü family has already made arrangements; the Wang family can wait until the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony to make their move; and finally, there's the Shu Zi Sect…
Watching Chen Jinkui's retreating figure as he descended the mountain.
Fu Xuan narrowed his eyes.
With Feng Zhenghao holding him back, Mu You couldn't escape. He could take advantage of this time to deal with Chen Jinkui, who was the only guy he was 100% sure of winning over.
"The Art of Technique..."
"Although it can't compare to the Zhuge family and Wudang, it has the advantage of having a large number of people, and sorcerers are rare, so it can be considered a significant help."
He smirked and chased after them.
