Chapter 127: The Storm is Coming

Zhang Wei worried about He Fenni's safety and hurriedly ran back, with Danielle quickly following behind.

Before they even got close, they heard gunshots and the screams of several men.

Danielle exclaimed, "It's my team members!"

Zhang Wei said in shock and anger, "It must be that squad of soldiers controlled by the Grudge Specters!"

The group immediately drew their guns and ran to the scene.

They saw several foreigners lying on the ground, their survival unknown, while Morgan had also been hit in the shoulder and was struggling on the ground.

Only Chen Meijun and a few other women had not been attacked.

The leading officer sneered, "I haven't played with women in a long time; I must keep them to play with, hahaha!"

Zhang Wei was furious; this foreign officer was speaking Japanese. He immediately took out a Eight Trigrams Mirror, aimed it at the officer, and shouted, "What kind of monster are you? Reveal your true form at once!"

The officer covered his eyes, turned to look at Zhang Wei, and roared, "Damn Chinaman, go to hell!"

Having said that, he raised his hand and fired his gun.

Zhang Wei hurriedly dodged, and Jin Maiji, who was to the side, quickly fired a shot with his. 38, hitting the officer directly in the head.

But the officer gave a sinister smile and immediately fired at Jin Maiji, who rolled to dodge.

The next second, the officer let out a miserable scream.

It turned out that Chen Meijun had seized the opportunity to draw the Zhong Kui Treasure Sword and stabbed it into the officer's chest.

The Grudge Specter inside the officer shrieked, then vanished into thin air.

The remaining dozen or so soldiers roared and prepared to turn their guns.

Seeing that Chen Meijun and the others were about to be shot by the soldiers, Zhang Wei shouted, "Grand Martial Uncle, save us!"

"Whoosh!"

Inside the Shenfeng Cave, a gust of wild wind blew through, causing those dozen or so soldiers to lose their footing and all fall to the ground.

Subsequently, Zhang Sheng's figure appeared; none of the group had noticed how he arrived.

Chen Meijun asked in surprise, "An immortal?"

Zhang Sheng ignored her; he flicked his horsetail whisk and shouted, "Tiny Japanese specters, you dare to act so violently? You shall not be spared lightly!"

Having said that, Zhang Sheng took out the Soul-Capturing Banner and gave it a casual flick; the Grudge Specters inside the soldiers screamed and were all sucked into the Soul-Capturing Banner.

Danielle, standing to the side, was greatly astonished, never expecting that these Grudge Specters, which would require a squad of elite mages to resolve, could be dealt with so easily.

Zhang Sheng put away the Soul-Capturing Banner, looked at the group, and said, "This place was originally supposed to be a blessed land of heaven and earth; I fear the spiritual energy here caused these dead Japanese invaders to become Grudge Specters."

"This place is not suitable for a long stay; you all should leave early."

Having said that, Zhang Sheng flicked his horsetail whisk, and his figure immediately vanished.

Chen Meijun asked in surprise again, "It is an immortal! Consultant Zhang, your Grand Martial Uncle is an immortal, right!"

Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips, saying, "I don't know either, but I reckon he probably is."

"Alright, since Grand Martial Uncle said this place is not suitable for a long stay, let's leave here first."

Danielle hurriedly stepped forward to heal Morgan with Holy Light; as for the foreigners of Team B, they had all been killed, and the other soldiers who entered had lost their leading officer, while the rest fell into a deep sleep and became vegetables.

Zhang Wei brought the members of Team A out completely intact, but for Team B, only Danielle and Morgan remained.

Zhang Wei immediately called Hu Xin to report the news, while Danielle also reported to the people at the Mages' Association via secret arts.

Very soon, Baron James arrived with a platoon of soldiers, along with a group of police officers.

Baron James saw that Danielle was uninjured, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You've worked hard. This place will be taken over by the military; the police officers will immediately evacuate the nearby residents and maintain a cordon."

Danielle hurriedly said, "James, this place is very important, and it belongs to Lamma Island; you had best not mess around."

Baron James glanced at Zhang Wei and said with a straight face, "I am very clear about the situation here; there is no need for Miss Danielle to remind me."

Zhang Wei stepped forward and said, "Mr. James, since this place is under military control now, can we leave?"

Baron James shook his head and said, "Of course not. The Specter-Catching Unit is now under my management. You will still need to cooperate with the military's actions later."

Baron James said righteously, "Such an elite squad was wiped out in the Shenfeng Cave; if there are still lingering specters inside, once they leak out, the safety of the citizens of Xiangdao will face a great hidden danger."

"Inspector Zhang, as a Royal Police officer, you wouldn't shirk your responsibilities, would you?"

Zhang Wei frowned slightly and said, "Yes, sir!"

Baron James chuckled, turned, and left; he immediately arranged for a military squad to investigate the Shenfeng Cave.

Zhang Wei walked to Danielle's side and said, "It looks like you and this James have a rather deep relationship."

Danielle hesitated for a moment and said, "He has been pursuing me. I am very sorry about last time; I originally wanted to avoid his pursuit, but I didn't expect to drag you into it."

"Tch," Zhang Wei didn't believe Danielle's nonsense at all. He said, "What kind of person James is, don't you know? There isn't a word of truth in his mouth; how can you still use Holy Light?"

Danielle was a bit embarrassed and angry; she glared at Zhang Wei and sighed, "I know your Grand Martial Uncle is Zhang Sheng, the First Celestial Master, so even if James takes action against you, you won't be in any life-threatening danger."

"How about this, when I have time, I'll treat you to a meal to apologize, okay?"

"Tch, adding an 'okay' at the end, no sincerity." Zhang Wei shook his head, "Besides, if I eat with you, James will hate me to death; by then, I'll still have to coax Fenny."

"You!" Danielle was furious, gave a cold snort, and immediately helped Morgan away.

Zhang Wei laughed, then found He Fenni and the others, asking, "Are you all okay? Do you need to rest for a while?"

He Fenni immediately threw herself into Zhang Wei's arms and whispered, "I almost thought I wouldn't be able to see you again."

Zhang Wei also felt some lingering fear and hurriedly comforted He Fenni.

Chen Meijun asked, "Consultant Zhang, your Grand Martial Uncle is so strong, why didn't he seal this place?"

Zhang Wei actually had doubts too, but regarding the elusive Zhang Sheng, he didn't know much either.

He said, "I don't know what Grand Martial Uncle's plans are either; in any case, there must be his reasons for this."

In Xiangdao, Zhong Fabai arrived at Dongzhou Island and met Uncle Feng. He said with a happy face, "Brother Feng, have you heard recently that the foreigners have set up some kind of conference for talented people and strange beings, and many demons and ghosts have come to Xiangdao?"

"There is also news recently that a blessed land of heaven and earth has appeared in the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island. That is Martial Uncle's territory; why let the foreigners mess around?"

Uncle Feng glanced at Zhong Fabai and asked, "What, are you also going to Lamma Island to attend that conference?"

Zhong Fabai shook his head and said, "I just feel there must be something fishy about this."

Uncle Feng nodded and said, "It seems you aren't stupid after all."

Zhong Fabai hurriedly widened his eyes and said, "Huh? What are you being so snide about?"

Uncle Feng laughed and said, "This must be Uncle-Master's arrangement. Don't interfere, lest you get lectured by Uncle-Master."

Zhong Fabai frowned and said, "But A-Wei is right there in the Shenfeng Cave."

Uncle Feng furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Perhaps this is Uncle-Master's trial for A-Wei. In any case, with Uncle-Master looking after him, what kind of accident could there be?"

"By the way, a disciple from the Maoshan Sect has come to open a Daoist hall. Come with me to meet him."

Zhong Fabai was completely baffled and said, "Why do you think Uncle-Master, in his old age, doesn't open a Daoist hall himself?"

The next day, Uncle Feng took Zhong Fabai to the checkpoint to welcome the Maoshan disciple arriving from Guangdong Province.

Uncle Feng had Zhong Fabai wait at the checkpoint holding a sign. Soon, a man who was 1.75 meters tall and very lean walked out.

This person's appearance was very distinctive: he had a unibrow, with his entire eyebrows joined together.

The man lowered his head to calculate, then looked in a certain direction, and sure enough, he saw Zhong Fabai holding the sign.

He hurriedly waved and walked over, calling out, "Many thanks to the two Uncle-Masters for coming to meet me."

Uncle Feng nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Ying, no need for formalities. I'll take you to find a place to stay first."

Zhong Fabai hurriedly asked, "Nephew-disciple, you are so young and yet you can already establish a Daoist hall on your own. You are truly young and promising."

Lin Chengying smiled very modestly and said, "Uncle-Master is joking. This nephew still has much to learn from you two Uncle-Masters regarding Daoist arts."

Uncle Feng smiled and said, "Xiao Ying, that you can inherit the title of One-Brow Daoist shows your Daoist cultivation is not ordinary."

"Your coming to Fragrant Island to establish a Daoist hall this time counts as good timing. Fragrant Island has been a bit restless lately; with your skills, you can also carve out a reputation for Maoshan."

Lin Chengying hurriedly asked, "Uncle-Master, what has happened in Fragrant Island recently? I heard that there is an Uncle-Grandmaster presiding over Fragrant Island; even the Western God of Law or the Pope would have to show respect."

Zhong Fabai laughed and said, "Nothing much, perhaps Uncle-Master is just bored and looking for some fun?"

"Slap!"

"Ouch!"

Zhong Fabai rubbed the back of his head where he had been hit and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Uncle-Master, I'm sorry."

Uncle Feng laughed quite happily.

Lin Chengying could only stifle his laughter.

This Lin Chengying, who came from Guangdong Province, was the grandson of Zhang Sheng's second senior brother, Daoist One-Brow, and was also the new generation's One-Brow Daoist.

The reason for this Daoist title was mainly because the unibrow passed down in their family was too prominent.

Uncle Feng brought Lin Chengying to stay at Zhong Fabai's grocery store. Uncle Feng said, "You stay here for now. Find a job here to get settled first, then consider the matter of opening a Daoist hall."

Lin Chengying hurriedly thanked him.

Zhong Fabai asked, "How is the family?"

Lin Chengying hurriedly said, "They are fine. The senior and junior brothers are doing quite well relying on Feng Shui."

"I heard that Uncle-Master Qiusheng's son, Qiubao, is doing well in Fragrant Island now. Why haven't I seen him?"

Uncle Feng shook his head slightly and said, "He inherited Senior Brother Qiusheng's good looks and has already gone into the entertainment industry."

"By the way, based on my father's deeds, he has been filming zombie-themed movies in the entertainment industry, and they are quite popular."

Lin Chengying said happily, "So, Qiubao is a popular actor in Fragrant Island."

Zhong Fabai nodded and said, "That's also quite good. Uncle-Master said that everyone has their own destiny. Then there's A-Fa, who is still sulking with Uncle-Master and working as a chef frying glutinous rice in some office building."

Lin Chengying nodded and did not ask about this matter. He hurriedly asked, "By the way, Uncle-Master Feng, why has Fragrant Island been chaotic recently? The sect also heard that there were strange occurrences in Fragrant Island, which is why they sent me."

Uncle Feng sat down and said, "The reasons behind this matter are very messy and the components are very complex, so I won't go into detail. In short, the foreign devils are condoning Nanyang sorcerers, the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect of Japan, and some Western evil cults to cause trouble."

"It is only because Uncle-Grandmaster is here that no major problems have occurred. This time, the foreign devils are directly organizing some 'First Conference of Talented and Extraordinary People'; they must be plotting something big behind the scenes."

"Now, the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island is rumored to be a blessed land, with large amounts of spiritual energy and Dharma treasures appearing inside, and there might even be more rare treasures within."

"Many people are gathering on Lamma Island now; Lamma Island will inevitably be a place of blood and slaughter."

Lin Chengying asked in surprise, "Then Uncle-Grandmaster isn't going to intervene?"

Zhong Fabai snorted coldly and said, "I suspect this blessed land might be Uncle-Master's own handiwork? Oh my, Uncle-Master is truly brilliant and wise!"

He hurriedly looked around and, finding he hadn't been hit, felt relieved in his heart.

Uncle Feng said from the side, "Just know about this matter; don't go around talking about it."

Lin Chengying nodded and said, "I understand, Uncle-Master Feng."

Uncle Feng stood up immediately and said, "Then I will return to Dongzhou Island first. If there is anything, call the Dongzhou Island Police Station to find me."

Zhong Fabai said with some disdain, "Tch, can't you be found through me?"

Uncle Feng ignored the childish Zhong Fabai and left the grocery store immediately.

Zhong Fabai immediately patted Lin Chengying on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Nephew-disciple, Uncle-Master will definitely find you a suitable job."

Inside a Japanese-style company, a beautiful woman wearing an expensive kimono said softly, "Have you found out who killed my younger sister, Konishi Michiko?"

The man in a suit hurriedly said, "Hai, it has been found. One is a police sergeant from Dongzhou Island named Lin Zhengfeng, nicknamed 'Feng the Fourth', who is a Maoshan disciple and a student of Zhang Sheng."

"Zhang Sheng?" Konishi Yumiko was slightly surprised. She hurriedly asked, "Is this Zhang Sheng that 'Daoist of Many Treasures', the current Number One Heavenly Master?"

The man nodded and said, "Hai, it is indeed this person!"

Konishi Yumiko snorted coldly and said, "And the other person?"

The man felt the air grow a few degrees colder and hurriedly lowered his head, saying, "The other one is currently a probationary inspector in the Ghost-Catching Unit named Zhang Wei. He has always been raised by Lin Zhengfeng, but his parents' identities are unknown. His Daoist arts are very powerful; the Qin Shi in Xiaodong Bay was dealt with by this person."

Konishi Yumiko was somewhat surprised. She murmured, "I heard the Qin Shi in Xiaodong Bay was meant to deal with Zhang Sheng. I didn't expect it to be resolved by a junior? Impossible, Zhang Sheng must have taken action."

She hurriedly said, "You must pay close attention to matters related to Zhang Wei, Lin Zhengfeng, and the others. Tell me everything, no matter how small."

"Hai, President."

Konishi Yumiko waved for the man to leave. She instead lay lazily on the floor, stroking her cat.

He thought to himself: The cultivation world of Fragrant Island has always been under the word of Zhang Sheng, but this time, how could he watch idly as the foreign devils cause trouble?

Moreover, the appearance of a treasure in the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island is truly too bizarre.

She does not believe that someone who could severely wound the First Celestial Master in his prime decades ago would allow others to act recklessly.
