Chapter 265

【It's not a matter of talking nonsense — the fact that he went to such great lengths to hide the Snake-Browed Copper Fish proves that what it records has value!】

【Exactly. Otherwise, who would be crazy enough to make so many arrangements at several treasure eyes just to leave false written records for posterity?】

【But this claim is too absurd — it's completely impossible to believe!】

Both inside and outside the venue, the noise was extraordinary.

But Zhang Lin paid no attention to any of this, and instead continued: "Wang Canghai recorded that the King of Dongxia was a monster that crawled out from beneath the earth!"

"And because of those ten years, he gained the trust of the Dongxia people, and was once led to see a door beneath the earth known as a divine miracle!"

At this moment, in the small balcony of the second-floor private box, Old Lady Huo's hand had already tightly gripped the armrest of her chair.

Yang Lu raised her eyes to glance at Old Lady Huo, whose expression was quite unusual, then lowered her gaze again, lost in thought.

In Zhang Yueshan's office, his expression was also quite tense!

After all his calculations, he had never expected that Wang Canghai's Snake-Browed Copper Fish actually recorded the secret of the Qingtong Sect!

At this moment, all the memories that the people of Jiumen had forcibly suppressed were awakened once more.

Old Lady Huo even murmured: "In the end, we still couldn't escape this fate. The secret of this door has finally come out."

"This is probably also the retribution of the Laojiu Sect — making a pact with people yet failing to honor it. Sooner or later, a price must be paid."

At this moment, Yin Nanfeng walked into Zhang Yueshan's office.

Seeing his face full of tension, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm truly amazed — I never expected that this copper fish actually held such a tremendous secret!"

"You old undying one, you say that back then, Buddha Ye used the Laojiu Sect taking turns to guard the Qingtong Sect as an exchange condition, tricking that Qilin of your main family to seek the Method of Life for him."

"Afterward, not only did no one from the Laojiu Sect honor the agreement to guard the door, they even caused that Qilin to disappear."

"If all these matters were exposed by Mr. Zhang, do you think it would affect the reputation of Zhang Dafo Ye?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yueshan slammed his palm on the table.

"He dares!"

Yin Nanfeng, however, let out a giggling laugh. "Look at the way you speak — what wouldn't he dare?"

"Can you kill him, or can you put him under house arrest?"

"Could it be that you've forgotten how ruthless he was when he crippled Zuo Fu?"

"Let alone the Xinyue Restaurant — even if your Laojiu Sect itself took action, would there be anyone who could deal with him?"

"The old generation is withering, the young generation is immature — the Laojiu Sect's glory has long since faded."

"Most importantly, do you still treat him as an ordinary storyteller?"

"With his current influence, he has long since entered the nation's sight."

"If you dare to send people against him today, tomorrow the nation can step in and shut down your Laojiu Sect's gambling dens!"

Every word Yin Nanfeng spoke cut straight to the heart, and Zhang Yueshan's face turned pale as he listened.

He had lived a long time, but this was the first time he had felt such urgency and helplessness!

Zhang Lin truly could not be touched — nor could he be moved!

With a casual move, Zhang Lin could easily destroy both of Zuo Fu's eyes.

And during his clash with Old Lady Huo, he had even made her suffer a hidden loss.

Zhang Lin's abilities could now only be described as unfathomably deep.

Therefore, even though Zhang Yueshan was anxious in his heart, he had no idea how to stop Zhang Lin from continuing to speak.

At this moment, Zhang Lin certainly knew that once the Qingtong Sect appeared, the people of the Laojiu Sect would all be shaken.

But so what?

Wasn't it the Laojiu Sect itself that made a pact with people and then failed to honor it?

Once such deeds are done, one should know that the day will come when someone digs them up to whip the corpse!

At this moment, Zhang Lin continued: "The dragon-fish secret text records that, according to legend, the Wan Nu Kings of every generation were not hereditary — after the previous one died, they all crawled out from that door beneath the earth!"

"And that door beneath the earth can only be opened when the previous Wan Nu King passes away. Otherwise, the karmic flames of hell will burn away everything about the one who opens it, leaving Mount Zhangbai with no white peak!"

"Wang Canghai was fortunate enough to witness one such succession ceremony of the throne! What filled him with great terror was that the Wan Nu King who crawled out from that door beneath the earth was a monster — not a human!"

At this moment, no one could remain calm any longer!

This mysterious Didiqi Sect had already aroused everyone's intense curiosity.

What was even more exhilarating was that the secret text had already faintly indicated the location of the Didizhi Sect.

Mount Zhangbai!
