Chapter 229: Chaos, Thousand Faces
At night, Longhu Mountain was silent.
Several figures moved silently through the mountains and forests.
They were light on their feet and quick in their movements, and it was obvious that they were all experts.
Suddenly, four talismans lit up on the treetops.
Electric snakes danced wildly, and arcs of scorching white electricity shot towards the leader. The surrounding night was dispelled by the light of lightning.
Seeing the lightning coming, the figure reacted quickly and immediately set up a spherical Qi shield around the body.
Thunder and lightning struck it heavily from top to bottom.
Snapped--
A sound of explosion was heard, and the spherical protective shield seemed to be stabbed by a spear, with the surface concave inward, revealing a thrilling arc.
After a long while, the lightning slowly dissipated, and cracks appeared on the surface of the Qi shield, but it managed to hold on.
"Master Lu! We haven't seen each other for so many years. Why are you so angry when we meet?"
The leader made a weird sound.
"Yuan Tao, you little thing, why are you running up to Longhu Mountain so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Standing on the tree branch, Lu Jin looked down coldly at the people below.
"Haven't you heard that the Tongtian Talisman has been revealed? I'm thinking of asking you for advice."
Yuan Tao laughed strangely.
"Maybe my father can meet you sooner. He must be missing you down there."
"I'm not in a hurry. Sooner or later I will go down."
Lu Jin jumped down from the branch.
"But before that, I have to send a few more of Quan Xing's troubles down there."
Around them, Lu Linglong, Zhi Jinhua and other young people walked out from the shadows and surrounded Yuan Tao and others.
"It seems that we have fallen into a trap, Master Lu, I wonder how we were exposed?"
Yuan Tao played with the rosary in his hand and asked,
"I think we acted in a very secretive way. Logically, you shouldn't have discovered us."
"I have already sent people to set up detectors around Longhu Mountain. As soon as you came up the mountain, I discovered the movement."
Lu Jin said in a deep voice,
"Is that so?"
Yuan Tao showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Give up! Yuan Tao!" Lu Jin shouted.
"Master Lu, it's not that easy to take me down."
Yuan Tao let out a shrill laugh. Although he was surrounded, he still looked confident of victory.
"Little guys, come together!" Lu Jin gave the order and started drawing talismans in his hand again.
Lu Linglong and other young people immediately flew forward.
"Everyone retreat!" Seeing Lu Jin take action, Yuan Tao immediately called out.
They are no match for Lu Jin in a head-on battle, so they still need some strategy to deal with him.
. . . . . .
The main hall at the back mountain.
"Chu Lan!"
Jin Renfeng walked towards the Nadutong people who were waiting in front of the hall and greeted them.
"Mr. Jin? Why are you here?"
Seeing the golden phoenix appear, Zhang Chulan was surprised.
"Aren't you going to receive the ordination tonight? The ordination ceremony of Mount Longhu has been passed down for more than 1,900 years. It's such an ancient and mysterious ceremony, so I naturally want to come and see it for myself."
Jin Renfeng stood in front of the few people and smiled.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you!"
A voice came from far away.
"The ordination ceremony at Mount Longhu is a closely guarded secret. You can't see it today even if you want to."
"Even if you can't see it, it's nice to be there to witness it! The Heavenly Master Succession Ceremony is something that only happens once every hundred years. Just taking a look at it from the side is enough."
Turning his head to look at the old Taoist priest who was walking slowly towards him, Jin Renfeng smiled.
"You are quite open-minded!" the old Taoist shook his head.
Seeing that the person pushing the wheelchair was Taoist Master Rongshan, and not seeing the little Taoist boy Gong Qing was pretending to be, Jin Renfeng asked,
"By the way, the matter I asked the old Taoist priest and Mr. Tian for help..."
"Don't worry, we did what you told us to do and didn't leak any information."
Mr. Tian said calmly.
"These days, Rongshan and Lingyu have been taking care of me!"
"That's good!"
Knowing that the arrangement was correct, Jin Renfeng nodded.
Afterwards, the old Taoist priest looked at the protagonist of this transmission, Zhang Chulan.
"Master..."
Facing the old Taoist's gaze, Zhang Chulan's expression froze.
"Chu Lan, don't be too nervous."
Seeing this, Tian Jinzhong comforted him,
"Becoming the successor of the Heavenly Master does not mean that you will inherit the position of the Heavenly Master immediately. You, the master, are still alive and kicking, and it is a long time before you die. It is not your turn to take the position yet!"
Hearing his fellow apprentice criticizing him, the old Taoist snorted.
Zhang Chulan accompanied with a smile.
Afterwards, because they had to direct the actions of Naduotong, Xu San and Xu Si took their leave first.
"Rongshan, you stay with your uncle tonight!" The old Taoist priest was making arrangements for the transmission of the ordination.
"Yes! Master!" Taoist Master Rongshan agreed.
He is the ninth disciple of the Heavenly Master, and the one ranked before Zhang Lingyu. He is responsible for helping the Master with some chores on weekdays.
"Chu Lan, come with me, I will personally teach you."
The old Taoist priest pointed at Zhang Chulan and led him towards the main hall.
Seeing Zhang Chulan leaving, Feng Baobao wanted to follow behind.
"Little girl, you can't come with us. No outsiders are allowed to be present during the ordination ceremony."
The old Taoist priest stopped and turned around.
"You should wait outside with Xiao Renfeng!"
Feng Baobao looked hesitant, she didn't want to leave Zhang Chulan.
"Sister Baoer, it's okay! Just wait for me here!"
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan spoke to comfort her again.
After hearing this, Feng Baobao stopped.
boom--
The palace door was closed.
Only Jin Renfeng and Feng Baobao were left in front of the hall.
Jin Renfeng looked around, checking what was going on around him.
He didn't come to the hall for no reason.
In the original timeline, Quan Xing's leader Gong Qing learned about Feng Baobao's existence from Zhang Huaiyi's dying memory, and based on some scattered information, he vaguely guessed the fact of her immortality.
In order to find out the truth, he sent Barron and Xia Liu to take action against Feng Baobao.
Although Jin Renfeng has taken care of Lu Liang now, there is no guarantee that he will not target Feng Baobao.
That's why Jin Renfeng came here to wait and see if he could run into Barron.
Under the quiet moonlight, the mountain breeze brought a burst of noise.
When Jin Renfeng and Feng Baobao heard the sound, they couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
"This is the forest at the back of the mountain! The one making such a big noise now must be Lu Jin's guy!"
Jin Renfeng thought to himself, he glanced at Feng Baobao who was confused, and decided to stay for a while.
“Now that they have taken action, if Quan Xing has set his sights on Feng Baobao, they will probably send someone over soon.
"Wait a minute, if no one comes, it means they are not interested in her."
"It won't be too late for me to take the initiative to search for Barron then!"
Bright golden light shone from the windows of the hall, as if a scorching sun had suddenly appeared in the hall.
The inheritance of Tianshidu began.
blah blah-
Just then, footsteps were heard not far away.
Jin Renfeng turned around and saw a figure walking towards them.
"Who?"
Jin Renfeng shouted softly.
"It's me! Renfeng!"
The first thing that caught my eye was a head of silver-white shoulder-length hair, followed by Feng Shayan's charming face revealed under the moonlight.
"Shayan? Why are you here?"
When Jin Renfeng saw the person coming, he looked strange.
"Didn't you go back to Tianxiahui with your adoptive father?" "My father got into trouble. He was attacked by the Wang family and was seriously injured. I came here this time to ask you to go down the mountain with me."
Feng Shayan said anxiously.
"Something happened to my godfather?"
A hint of panic appeared on Jin Renfeng's face, but it quickly disappeared.
"So, my foster father is seriously injured and needs me to go and treat him?"
“That’s right!”
"But for such an urgent matter, why didn't you use your phone to notify me? Instead, you came here in person?"
"There's no cell phone signal in the mountains, so you can't answer the phone if I call you."
Feng Shayan explained.
Jin Renfeng took out his cell phone, only to see that the signal bar indeed showed no signal.
"It's really hard for you! You even knew that my phone had no signal."
Jin Renfeng chuckled and looked up at the woman in front of him.
"There's no time to waste, Renfeng, come down the mountain with me!"
Feng Shayan walked forward and grabbed the man's arm.
"Okay! Let's leave now!"
Jin Renfeng agreed without hesitation and left with her.
. . . . . .
thump—
Lu Jin kicked the Qi shield in front of Yuan Tao, and the powerful force created a dent in it.
Swah——
Yuan Tao's body exploded backwards, his feet constantly rubbing against the ground, and he flew more than ten meters before he could stand firm.
"Immortal Trapping Talisman!"
Lu Jin drew a line with his fingers, and a chain-like talisman of clear light shot out and was tied to Yuan Tao's body like a long snake.
With his limbs tied, Yuan Tao was unable to move.
Lu Jin flew forward and raised his fist.
"Stupid! Help me!"
Seeing that the protective magic weapon could not hold out, Yuan Tao screamed.
"biu~biu~biu~biu~biu~"
The fat man next to him took out a small water gun and shot at Lu Jin.
The water droplets emitted clear light and shot out like bullets.
Lu Jin's expression froze and he dodged.
The water hit the trees, breaking them into pieces one by one.
“Can a water gun be so powerful?”
Seeing this, Lu Jin was shocked.
"It seems that this water gun is also a magic weapon."
Then, the fat man took out a hammer and smashed the talisman on Yuan Tao's body with a few hits.
"Hurry up and bring it here, Scurry Rabbit!"
As soon as he got out of trouble, Yuan Tao said hurriedly.
"Hey? Don't you want to continue playing?"
The fat man asked stupidly.
"What the hell are you doing? If you keep playing, you'll die."
Yuan Tao put on the rabbit slippers and said angrily.
"Don't try to escape!"
Lu Jin flew forward.
"Baibaiel, you!"
Yuan Tao laughed loudly and ran away.
The rabbit slippers on their feet emitted a faint light and flew away with the two of them.
"Dean Dai's curse!"
Seeing that the two were running very fast and he could not catch up, Lu Jin drew a talisman to speed up.
According to legend, Dai Zong, the Speedy Guardian, could travel 800 miles a day, as fast as a galloping horse. The Dai Zong Curse, which originated from this, also has the same effect.
Two in front and one behind, three people galloped through the mountains and forests.
"Yes, Lu Jin has been following us..."
While running away, Yuan Tao made a phone call.
"If you can get the Tongtian Talisman, then take it. If you can't get it, there is nothing you can do..."
"Let those lurking on the mountain and those waiting at the foot of the mountain start a commotion together!"
"The more chaos, the better. This way, they will lose sight of our biggest goal."
. . . . . .
Qianshan tourist area.
"Hey! I didn't expect Bilian to actually win!"
A young Taoist priest sighed.
"No way! If that guy becomes the Heavenly Master in the future, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will definitely be doomed!"
Another young Taoist priest said with a sad face.
The two men walked slowly while complaining, and inadvertently, they bumped into three figures.
Seeing that the three people were not from the Tianshi Mansion, the young Taoist priest stepped forward and said,
"How did you get to the front mountain? Didn't you find the way down?"
“Haha, that’s not the case!”
A man in a peaked cap laughed.
"However, Taoist priest, the Luotian Grand Ceremony is over, but we are still not satisfied!"
True Qi burst out from the three people. Ripples appeared on their bodies, revealing their true fierce appearance.
“Are you a person of the whole nature?”
Seeing the appearance of the three people, the young Taoist priest screamed.
"Master Dao, let us get closer!"
The burly man in the lead yelled, raised his fist and attacked the two men.
As if it was a signal, the originally quiet Longhu Mountain suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.
Countless figures jumped out from their hiding places and began to burn, kill and loot. Wherever they passed, like a swarm of locusts, leaving only ruins.
"Haha! Come on, everyone! Let's turn the Tianshi Mansion upside down today!"
A man wearing round-frame goggles let out a strange cry and threw out two Qi bombs, blowing up the roof of the house.
In an instant, whether in the mountains in front or behind, the light of true Qi flashed everywhere.
. . . . . .
In the dense forest, Jin Renfeng followed Feng Shayan and walked quickly.
"Shayan, where are we going?"
Jin Renfeng asked,
"Look, the forest is getting denser and denser. It doesn't look like there is a road."
"This is a small path I found by accident. After this section, you will reach the main road."
Feng Shayan explained nervously.
"Look, this road isn't easy to walk on. Why don't you just use your ability to travel through space and go straight over it?"
Jin Renfeng asked again.
"Before coming here, I consumed too much of my inner energy, and now it's not enough to use the ability to travel through space."
Feng Shayan explained reluctantly.
"So that's it!"
Jin Renfeng looked at the woman in front of him with amusement.
It's not even clear that spatial abilities can't be used in places out of sight. It seems that this guy is indeed a fake.
In fact, as soon as this "Feng Shayan" appeared in front of him, he found something wrong. He had slept with Shayan for nine years and knew every detail about her. Even if there was a little difference, he could react immediately.
Although the Feng Shayan in front of him looked exactly the same, her facial expressions, reactions, movements and postures gave him a strange feeling, and the induction of her true Qi was completely different from that of the previous Shayan.
"The Thousand Faces Man is poisonous? His face-changing skills are really good!"
Jin Renfeng said in his heart.
"No wonder he is so brave to show up in front of me alone."
If he wasn't so familiar with Shayan, he probably wouldn't have recognized her immediately.
"It seems that because of the loss of Zhang Huaiyi's memory, Quan Xing did not target Feng Baobao this time, but instead targeted me who possessed the Tongtian Talisman."
"I guess he will lead me into a trap next. The one who was originally used to deal with Feng Baobao was Baron, the Six Treasury Immortal Thief. If nothing changes, he will probably be the one waiting for me this time."
