Chapter 135

Immediately following was a scream of terror, and then dead silence.

At this time, most of the residents on Miao Street had already moved away, so very few people witnessed this scene.

For those who knew the Zhang brothers, they thought this was just a conflict within the Zhang family caused by distribution issues.

As for the lightning strike incident that occurred in Maiyi Lane, everyone just took it as an accident.

Currently, public security personnel had arrived at the scene and transported the remains of Liu Zhangan and Liu Zhangfu away.

Due to the lightning strike accident caused by local abnormal weather, the public security bureau gave this incident its characterization.

Tanaka Yu's remains had been arranged by Tamamo Emi and sent back to the hotel together with Tianpei Bangyan.

On the way back, Tamamo Emi and Gongsan Pingbalang were in the same car.

"Chairman, I'm sorry! What if this operation fails?" Tamamo Emi asked.

Gongsan Pingbalang looked out the window with gentle eyes and said: "Try your best to do it first; if it doesn't work, I have another set of plans to ensure success. It's just that this backup plan is not a foolproof strategy, so I don't intend to use it yet."

Tamamo Emi expressed her concern: "I suspect that the Huaxia authorities might have already noticed our plan and specifically left these seven places when collecting land on Miao Street."

Gongsan Pingbalang looked at her with great interest, gently lifted her chin, smiled, and said: "Even if they discovered it, so what?

The Huaxia authorities do not value Feng Shui and even oppose Feng Shui theory. Otherwise, our previous actions in eight cities would not have been so smooth. Do you understand?"

Being looked at like this, Tamamo Emi's face flushed slightly, and she responded respectfully: "Yes, everything will follow your arrangements."

At this time, the vehicle passed by Maiyi Lane, and the two happened to see Lin Yu walking into the lane, while the dark clouds over the lane were gradually dispersing.

Gongsan Pingbalang looked at Lin Yu's figure and joked: "This Mr. Lin Yu is quite interesting; I will handle the Zhongcaotang project myself."

Hearing this, Tamamo Emi felt very surprised, not understanding why Lin Yu could receive such special attention from President Gongsan.

Stepping into Maiyi Lane, Lin Yu found the place desolate.

The entire lane was only inhabited by the seven descendants of Liu Jinyong, which used to be bustling with activity.

For Lin Yu, these simple and honest families were originally ordinary commoners; he didn't expect that because of the demolition of Miao Street, life would become so difficult.

Lin Yu walked slowly into the depths of the lane, pushed open the courtyard gate at the very end, and walked into the living room; tea fragrance greeted him.

Liu Jinyong, who was making tea, saw Lin Yu and revealed a happy smile.

"Master." Lin Yu called out respectfully.

"You're here." Liu Jinyong smiled and pushed a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of Lin Yu, then turned to add water.

"Come." Lin Yu responded, looking at Liu Jinyong's back, a feeling that could not be described in words rising in his heart.

Liu Jinyong placed the kettle on the stove and began to talk to himself: "Today is truly a disgrace; if they hadn't been unwilling to learn Maiyi Divine Physiognomy back then, I should have let them leave Maiyi Lane."

Subsequently, he sat upright opposite Lin Yu and introduced himself seriously: "Let me introduce myself formally; I am Liu Jiaheng, one of the Six Thieves of the Mysterious Gate, who steals the secrets of heaven. Fifty years ago, I participated in a great battle within the Mysterious Gate together with your grandfather, Lin Bu'er."

"Do you know why we went to steal the Six Divine Skills of the Mysterious Gate fifty years ago?" Lin Yu became interested as soon as he heard this.

Ever since Dong Xuhui mentioned the "Six Thieves of the Mysterious Gate" to him, this question had been lingering in his mind.

Liu Jinyong took a light sip of tea, a smile on his face as he said: "Zhang Song must not have told you; actually, he was also one of the 'Six Thieves of the Mysterious Gate' back then, nicknamed the Stealing Heaven Thief."

"The reason we had to steal those supreme skills fifty years ago, which eventually led to the internal strife of the Mysterious Gate, was all because of a Neon Country person."

Hearing this, the name Gongsan Pingbalang suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's mind, so he blurted out: "Could it be Gongsan Pingbalang?"

Liu Jinyong nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's him. Gongsan Pingbalang also has a Huaxia name called Lin Zhongyou. Because he was born with double pupils, he was taken as a disciple by a great figure of the Mysterious Gate and entered the Penglai Sect.

Relying on this heaven-sent talent, he mastered the core skills of the Mysterious Gate, such as mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, and divination, in just ten years. Until one day, by chance, someone discovered the secret of the nine-petaled chrysanthemum tattoo on his body..."

Lin Yu interrupted: "That is the symbol of the Chrysanthemum Society."

Liu Jinyong shook his head seriously to correct him: "No, that is the emblem of the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect, the only indigenous Mysterious Gate school in the Neon Country.

When his identity was exposed, he had already gained the opportunity to approach the Six Divine Skills of the Mysterious Gate. So we had to act before that, stealing those secret manuals."

Speaking of this, Liu Jinyong sighed and continued, "Although we succeeded, we were also framed as the 'Six Thieves of the Mysterious Gate,' triggering decades of chaos.

Even so, we could not return the secret manuals, fearing they would fall into the hands of Gongsan Pingbalang."

Lin Yu thought of the flower-picking thief: "Pang Qinquan?"

Liu Jinyong nodded heavily, surprised at how Lin Yu knew. "It was because of a Neon Country woman that he betrayed us. Later, he defected to the Tongtian Pavilion together with Dong Xuhui.

I don't know about what happened after that. As for after Gongsan Pingbalang's identity was exposed, Old Zhang and I regained recognition from our respective Mysterious Gates."

At this time, Liu Jinyong added tea for Lin Yu; Lin Yu hurriedly stood up to show respect. But Liu Jinyong signaled him to sit down and said with a smile: "Don't be so reserved; there are only the two of us here, no need for so many rules."

After sitting down, Liu Jinyong continued: "Whether called the 'Six Thieves of the Mysterious Gate' or the 'Wuxu Six Thieves,' they were all nicknames given to us by those who were dissatisfied.

In reality, each of us was protected by our own master; otherwise, we would have been caught long ago. However, what I didn't expect was that this move actually plunged the Mysterious Gate into a bloodbath.

Four of the six great sacred lands were directly destroyed, leaving only Penglai and Kongtong barely preserving their foundations. Nowadays, within the borders of Huaxia, where is there any true Mysterious Gate existence?"

Sometimes I even question whether our choice back then was correct. But if we hadn't done that, how could we have stopped Gongsan Pingbalang from obtaining the Six Divine Skills?

Lin Yu pondered repeatedly and finally decided to inform Liu Jinyong of the news that Pang Yuntian had died: "Actually, not long ago, the flower-picking thief Pang Yuntian passed away."

Although somewhat surprised, Liu Jinyong still responded with a smile: "This was within expectations. A person who possesses the Undying Divine Skill forgets many memories every time they are reborn.

I heard that Pang Yuntian had already experienced at least ten deaths. As long as the brain is damaged, this divine skill can force the body to return to its original state. If one's own spiritual energy is insufficient to recover, it will draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth to replenish it."

Next, he said to Lin Yu seriously: "However, in history, people who practiced the art of immortality eventually turned into non-human existences, such as Drought Demons and Yinggou."
