[Note: Qi is as chaotic and unpredictable as the beginning of the universe. When the divine spirit is fully formed and all Qi returns to its source, it can transform all phenomena into nothingness. Its very existence is an anomaly. Blessed by destiny and entangled in cause and effect, the host must proceed with utmost caution.]
At the heart of the Jia Shen Rebellion was Wu Gensheng, the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect, who had comprehended the divine skill "Divine Spirit," which could reduce all magic to nothingness!
The two people beside him were Ghost Hand King Wang Yaozu and another Quanxing elder, Yuan Jingui.
Both of them had reached the level of heroes in terms of cultivation.
As soon as Wang Yaozu entered the room, his gaze was fixed on Li Muxuan, who was lying on the ground, blood at the corner of his mouth, and unconscious.
A terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted in his sinister eyes.
A chilling, bone-piercing pressure, like an invisible giant wave, swept across the entire Yinghe Tower, locking onto Ruan Tao and the others standing beside Li Muxuan.
"Who did it?"
His voice was hoarse and cold, devoid of any emotion, yet it sent chills down Ruan Tao's and the others' spines.
Wang Yaozu is a hero and an extraordinary person. For him, defeating Ruan Tao and his two fellow extraordinary people is no different than crushing ants.
The difference between a hero and a first-rate person is like the difference between clouds and mud!
Ruan Tao managed to stay upright and not collapse to the ground, but his face was already deathly pale.
He roared fiercely:
"What do you want? We're just having a friendly sparring match between peers!"
"You, Ghost Hand King of the Quanxing Sect, are you trying to bully the weak, or are you going to make an enemy of all the righteous sects?!"
As he spoke, he shouted loudly to the righteous disciples around him, whose expressions varied.
"Fellow practitioners, you have all seen it!"
"It is the heretics of the Quanxing sect who have come to cause trouble at our gathering place! We urge everyone to join forces and exterminate these evil demons and heretics to set things right!"
He attempted to forcibly turn a vicious street fight, which he started by abusing his power, into a conflict between good and evil, dragging everyone into it.
Gao Gen frowned, his hand already on the hilt of his sword, his expression one of struggle.
Fengping glared angrily, a flash of fire appearing on his body.
Although they despised Ruan Tao's character, they felt an even deeper, more visceral loathing for the Quanxing sorcerers.
For a moment, tensions rose within the building, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
A bloody battle seems about to break out.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Wugensheng smiled and waved his hand, gently pressing down Wang Yaozu, who was about to make a move.
"Ghost Hand King, calm down."
His voice was gentle, yet possessed a power that compelled people to believe him.
Wang Yaozu's murderous aura faltered. Although he still stared intently at Ruan Tao, he ultimately did not take another step forward.
Wugensheng looked around, his gaze sweeping across the hesitant faces of Gao Gen, Feng Ping, and others, before finally landing on Zhang Yunyuan, who was standing in front of Li Muxuan.
When he saw Zhang Yunyuan's youthful yet unusually calm face, he was slightly taken aback, and then revealed a meaningful smile.
Ignoring the tense atmosphere inside the building, he walked up to Ruan Tao.
"Hello, sir."
His smile was sincere and warm, as if he were greeting a long-lost friend rather than an enemy.
"I am Wugensheng, the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect."
"I overheard the whole thing downstairs. Li Muxuan is young and impetuous, and he didn't know his own strength, which disturbed everyone's enjoyment."
He bowed respectfully to Ruan Tao.
"I am here to apologize to you and everyone in Qingzhu Garden on his behalf."
This scene stunned everyone present.
Ruan Tao was even more incredulous. All the eloquent words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
The legendary leader of Quanxing, who was known for being lawless and disregarding rules, was actually... apologizing to me?
"In this matter, it was indeed our side that was in the wrong first."
The apology on Wugensheng's face seemed genuine.
"How about this? All your expenses at Yinghe Tower today will be on the Quanxing account. In addition, I will prepare a generous gift and personally visit the head of Qingzhuyuan another day to apologize. What do you say?"
He paused, glanced at Li Muxuan on the ground, and sighed.
"As for Li Muxuan, I will take him back and discipline him strictly later. I hope you gentlemen will be magnanimous and give me the courtesy of letting this matter drop, is that alright?"
His words were impeccable, and he adopted an extremely humble attitude, giving the other party ample face.
He took all the blame upon himself, never mentioning that Ruan Tao and his gang had bullied the few and humiliated people in public.
Ruan Tao was completely baffled by his actions.
Fight? The other side consists of three veteran figures from the Quanxing Sect; we might not be able to defeat them.
Not fight? Their leader has already apologized in person. If we keep harping on it, we'll seem petty and unreasonable.
He held it in for a long time, his face turning a deep purplish-red, and finally he could only squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Good... take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he glared at Li Muxuan on the ground, then, along with his two other junior brothers, slunk out the door and left quickly.
A conflict that was on the verge of turning into a bloodbath was resolved by Wugensheng with just a few words.
He didn't even use the slightest bit of force.
Zhang Yunyuan witnessed all of this and was deeply shocked.
He watched as Wugensheng, who was smiling and directing Yuan Jingui to pay the bill, and then bent down to help Li Muxuan up, felt a surge of emotions welling up inside him.
Quanxing's style of doing things has always been unrestrained and without any taboos.
Their true nature is to seek revenge and repay kindness with kindness.
But this man in front of me, in order to achieve the most direct goal of "pacifying the situation," was able to abandon his so-called "face" and "rules" without hesitation, and publicly bow his head and apologize to the younger generation.
This vision, this mindset...
Don't get bogged down in details; just look at the results.
For the first time, Zhang Yunyuan felt that besides the pure power of his master and senior brother, there was another kind of "power" in this world that was even more terrifying.
A kind of personal charm, a precise understanding of people's hearts.
No wonder he could make so many unruly and eccentric people willingly follow him.
This man is definitely something.
Chapter 34 A single letter connects to the divine; Wugensheng makes an invitation.
The conflict subsided, and Ruan Tao and his group slunk away.
Inside Yinghe Tower, the atmosphere remained somewhat tense.
After treating Li Muxuan's injuries, Wugensheng turned around and solemnly bowed to Zhang Yunyuan, who had been standing quietly to the side.
"Thank you for your help earlier, Daoist Master. Otherwise, Li Muxuan would have suffered a great loss today."
Zhang Yunyuan smiled calmly and returned the greeting.
"It's nothing, Sect Leader Wugensheng, you don't need to be so polite."
But he already had a different plan in mind.
According to the plot, the strongest place for enlightenment in the entire world of supernatural beings is the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley.
Of all the people in the world, only this man before them knew his exact location.
If I want to quickly improve my strength and seize the greatest opportunity in the upcoming Jia Shen Rebellion, I must make contact with him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunyuan had an idea and took out the name card he had obtained from checking in at Yinghe Tower.
This name card looks similar to the ordinary name cards that people exchange, but it feels warm and smooth to the touch, neither paper nor silk, and its material is like some kind of peculiar glass.
A faint light flows within, as if sealing some indescribable "fate".
When Wugensheng saw him take out his name card, he smiled and extended his hand as well.
"I haven't yet asked for your name, Master. May I ask for a name card so I can visit you in the future to express my gratitude?"
Zhang Yunyuan then handed over the calling card.
The moment Wugensheng's fingertips touched the name card.
His eyes suddenly narrowed, and an unbelievable glint flashed deep within his pupils!
He clearly felt a gentle force that was inexplicable, irreversible, and irresistible, carrying the pure intention of "goodwill recognition" and "equal interaction," like a gentle spring rain that nourished the core of his soul!
This is neither an attack nor an enchantment.
Rather, it is a manifestation of a higher level of rules—a "bond" power recognized by heaven and earth!
It aroused in Wugensheng a strong sense of closeness and curiosity towards the young Taoist who wrote his name, stemming from his life instinct.
It felt as if I had encountered a kindred spirit whom I was destined to know and understand.
"Ha...hahahaha!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Wugensheng suddenly burst into laughter.
His laughter was no longer as casual as before, but was filled with heartfelt joy, excitement, and the exhilaration of meeting a worthy opponent!
His eyes shone like stars as he gave Zhang Yunyuan a deep look, then with a flick of his wrist, he handed the name card back.
"Master Yunyuan, until we meet again."
After saying that, he helped Li Muxuan up, and led Wang Yaozu and the other two away in a long stride.
Zhang Yunyuan took the name card and sensed that there seemed to be something extra inside.
He calmly put the name card back into his pocket and turned to leave Yinghelou.
Back at his lodgings, he unfolded the name card and found a small note tucked inside.
