Chapter 236: Jiang Your Majesty's Move! Chu Chaoran's Statement (Farewell)

On the street, all pedestrians stopped one after another, looking at the sun "hiding" in the sky.

Yujing City seemed to have entered the night ahead of time.

However, it lasted for less than a minute before the sun slowly revealed its head.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the golden sunlight splashed back onto every corner of Yujing City.

Looking up, the sky was cloudless, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"What happened to the phone just now? The camera won't open."

"I didn't take a picture either, can't post it to Moments."

"Why wasn't the solar eclipse forecasted?"

On the street, the flow of people returned to normal, pedestrians hurrying, as if they had returned to their own life rhythm.

For everything that had just happened, for those whose soul-aspects had not awakened, it was as if it hadn't happened.

"What about those three?" Lin Jianyue's expression was dazed, murmuring softly.

"Don't know." Zhang Fan's expression was solemn.

A fight at the Three Tian Shi level was not something they could speculate about. Ordinary people couldn't understand it at all, and couldn't even see it.

Right now, what Zhang Fan needed to care about most was not the result of this battle.

"You hurry and go, leave Yujing City right now."

Zhang Fan turned around, looking at Lin Jianyue.

At first, he only thought the Daoist Alliance Headquarters would send an investigation team to investigate Meng Qinghuan's death.

But who could have thought that those above had long noticed Jiangnan Province and had actually hidden a Three Tian Shi to come along in the dark.

In fact, everything was as the Daoist Alliance Headquarters had anticipated: the pond of Jiangnan Province was too deep, and it really did hide a big fish that couldn't see the light.

With such a commotion today, Zhang Fan could imagine that next, Yujing City would surely usher in a major investigation, a major purge.

If she didn't leave now, Lin Jianyue might not be able to leave.

At that time, pulling out the radish would bring out the mud, and he would never be able to stay out of it again.

"Not only leave Yujing City, but don't stay in Jiangnan Province either." Zhang Fan realized the seriousness of the situation. If things went wrong, even he would have to go out and hide for a few days to avoid the limelight.

"Okay." Lin Jianyue also knew the stakes and didn't say much more.

Hu Hu Fa Wang Huo had come, clearly Jiangnan Province was no longer safe, and I'm afraid the power of the Wu Wei Gate would have to shrink accordingly.

"After leaving Jiangnan Province, find a way to find Zhao Jiexuan and have him contact me." Zhang Fan instructed.

Now, although he had already stepped into the 【Great Being】 realm, compared to giants like the Master of the Profound Palace and Hu Hu Fa Wang Huo, he was still not enough.

Fortunately, he had already realized the secret of the 【Golden Glow Treasure Box】. As long as he found Zhao Jiexuan, he would have a great chance to fuse with the Evil God.

By that time, with the soul-aspect supplemented and the three combined into one, Zhang Fan would truly have the capital to stand firm and be able to deal with the increasingly complex and chaotic situation ahead.

"I know."

Lin Jianyue nodded, keeping Zhang Fan's words in her heart. Not daring to have the slightest delay, she hailed a taxi and headed straight for the airport.

"Jiangnan Province is probably not a place to stay." Zhang Fan watched Lin Jianyue leave, his thoughts turning rapidly.

"But wanting to leave is not that easy."

"Perhaps there are other ways."

That day, Zhang Lingzong had called him, saying he had left a mobile phone for him, inside which was a number. When he was truly at the end of his rope, he could dial that number.

But right now, it seemed it hadn't reached that critical moment yet.

"Stay calm, stay calm..."

Zhang Fan took a deep breath, suppressing his rapidly turning thoughts, and cleared his mind.

The Supernatural Association's investigation team was in Yujing City. Even if he could leave now, he couldn't. If he left now, it would truly be "there is no silver three hundred taels here," a guilty conscience.

Meng Qinghuan's death had nothing to do with him; it couldn't be counted on his head.

As for Hua Yanqiu, she didn't die at his hands either; in broad daylight, it was Ren Xiao who made the move.

Even if they checked the surveillance, the soul-aspect leaving the body would definitely affect the signal, so I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to capture anything, at most they would capture him meeting with Lin Jianyue.

The Thirteen Zodiacs' disguises in reality were almost perfect, so they shouldn't be able to find anything either.

What's more, now that Lin Jianyue had left, even if they checked, it would take time.

"Overall, I am still safe for now, but there are no airtight walls in this world. As long as those above want to check, they will always be able to find something."

"Wait and see, observe for a while first."

Zhang Fan analyzed the current situation and took a deep breath.

Beep, beep, beep...

Just at this moment, the sound of a car horn attracted Zhang Fan's thoughts.

"Fang Changle!?"

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, only to see Fang Changle's body leaning out of the car.

"Get in the car." Fang Changle greeted.

"What a coincidence."

Jiang Hu was sitting in the driver's seat, turning his head to greet Zhang Fan.

"When did you guys get back?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Just got back. Originally wanted to go to the Daoist Alliance, didn't expect to meet you here."

As he spoke, Fang Changle's expression was solemn, his gaze looking at Hua Yanqiu, who had fallen in front of the Bujianshan Coffee Shop. At this moment, the latter's soul-aspect was gone, leaving only this lifeless body.

"What's the situation?" Fang Changle asked.

"It's a long story." Zhang Fan was silent for a moment, but still told what had just happened.

Overall, there was no concealment. After all, last time facing Yin Tiger, the other party had revealed quite a bit of his bottom line before Fang Changle, so concealment had no meaning.

That was the time they went through life and death together; Fang Changle could be considered one of his own.

"This Ren Xiao is truly ruthless, killing in the street, and killing someone from the Supernatural Association at that." Fang Changle said in a deep voice.

Meng Qinghuan was like this.

Hua Yanqiu was also like this.

It just so happened that both times were right before Zhang Fan's eyes. Going back and forth, no one would believe it was a coincidence. Perhaps...

"That Ren Xiao has already targeted you." Fang Changle said solemnly.

"The most troublesome thing now is being afraid that those above will pin this black pot on me." Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

"No matter, their deaths had nothing to do with you in the first place." Fang Changle shook his head and said.

The only trouble was Zhang Fan's true identity.

Once the secret of the Divine Demon Sacred Embryo was exposed, the deaths of Meng Qinghuan and Hua Yanqiu seemed to have become trivial matters.

"As long as they don't take you to Shangjing City, everything is still negotiable." Fang Changle analyzed.

"They will take me away?" Zhang Fan's eyebrows furrowed.

If that was the case, he would take out the Nokia and make a call.

"This is Jiangnan Province. If they want to take you away, they have to ask if Maoshan agrees." Fang Changle sneered.

Jiangnan Province was Maoshan's territory.

"However..."

"However what?" Zhang Fan pressed.

"You saw it just now, Hu Hu Fa Wang Huo came to Yujing City and actually hooked two big fish. Don't know what the result of this battle is?" Fang Changle said in a deep voice: "If Hu Hu Fa Wang Huo folded in Yujing City, I'm afraid the entire Daoist world would be shaken..."

"At that time, if the Daoist Alliance Headquarters moved with thunderous anger and truly made a ruthless move, that would be plowing the courtyard and sweeping the cave..."

If it truly reached that point, Jiangnan Province would be purged from top to bottom, and I'm afraid Maoshan wouldn't be able to protect Zhang Fan either.

"So the situation ahead depends on the result of this battle?" Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

"Not bad."

Fang Changle nodded: "You go back first, don't show your face for these two days. I estimate the Supernatural Association's investigation team won't have time to look for you."

"I have people at the Daoist Alliance. Once there is news, I will notify you immediately."

"Okay!"

Zhang Fan nodded. Slowing things down would make them round; using stillness to control movement, doing nothing at this time was actually better.

In the Yujing City that followed, on the surface, there were no waves, but in the dark, the wind and clouds were surging.

Please... you... collect_(!)

That night, the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance Headquarters secretly sealed the city. Anyone who was a practitioner was allowed in but not allowed out.

Lin Jianyue was just half a step faster, which was why she escaped the investigation.

Two days later.

Shangjing City.

No. 273 Xianyin Road, Daoist Alliance Headquarters.

It was late at night, and the office at the end of the corridor was still lit.

A kind old man, wearing a pair of reading glasses, was playing chess with a tall, thin man before him.

"President, there is news from Jiangnan Province."

Just at this moment, Yue Cangfeng walked in hurriedly, his expression solemn.

As one of the most capable assistants beside Jiang Your Majesty, it had been a long time since he had felt such pressure as he did today.

"Where is Junior Uncle now?"

Fan Lingzhou stood up violently, his mind long gone from the chessboard before him. Only the kind old man before him, stooping, his gaze unblinking, seemed to still be wandering on the chessboard.

"Life and death unknown, currently missing, even the body hasn't been found." Yue Cangfeng's expression was ugly.

Soul-aspect fighting is the most dangerous, not to mention that now even the body couldn't be found.

Although the intelligence said life and death unknown, missing, from various signs, even if Hu Hu Fa Wang Huo wasn't dead, I'm afraid he wasn't far from it.

"Master of the Profound Palace... and that evil seed of Zhang Lingzong... didn't expect them to actually be hiding in Jiangnan Province..." Fan Lingzhou's expression was coldly terrifying.

"What about these two?"

"The Master of the Profound Palace left Yujing City and then had no trace. The Wu Wei Gate has been hiding its form and concealing its traces for so many years, they have their ways..." Yue Cangfeng said in a deep voice.

The Wu Wei Gate has been dealing with the Daoist world for so many years, knowing each other's roots and bottoms. Especially when the Three Corpse Daoist emerged, in order to prevent the Daoist world from tracking and spying at will, they even compiled a set of 【Anti-Tracking Work Manuals】 for Wu Wei Gate disciples to read and practice.

"What about that evil seed of Zhang Lingzong?" Fan Lingzhou said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that the one under Long Hu Mountain ten years ago is clearly not the same as this one..."

"The one who appeared this time should be the cub who 【Sealed Gods and Erected Statues】 in North Zhang twenty years ago. I said at the beginning, since he had already 【Sealed Gods and Erected Statues】, how could he have practiced the 【Divine Demon Sacred Embryo】?" Yue Cangfeng said coldly.

"Nonsense, isn't Zhang Lingzong also such an anomaly?"

"I don't believe their whole family are anomalies." Yue Cangfeng retorted.

"Where did that little guy go?"

Just at this moment, Jiang Your Majesty spoke, his bland voice interrupting the argument between the two.

"This little guy is too cunning, fled all the way to the southwest, very difficult to track." Yue Cangfeng said in a deep voice.

"Notify North Zhang, let them go to Southern Yunnan to try their luck."

Jiang Your Majesty pushed a small pawn on the chessboard, checking the chariot.

"President, you mean..." Yue Cangfeng's eyes lit up violently.

"Not bad, Heaven is big and Earth is big, that kid can only run to Southern Yunnan..." Fan Lingzhou sneered.

"Zhang Lingzong is hiding in Mount Ailao. He wants to rendezvous with his old man."

"Let the people of North Zhang wait for the rabbit. Once this little ghost is caught, not afraid that Zhang Lingzong won't come out. At that time, father and son will be killed together."

Speaking to this point, Fan Lingzhou and Yue Cangfeng looked at each other, a cold light flashing in both their eyes, admiring Jiang Your Majesty even more.

The President is worthy of being the President. With a light move, he could grasp the crux of the problem and solve the key to the contradiction.

"President, what about Hu Hu Fa Wang Huo..." Fan Lingzhou stopped mid-sentence.

"Immortals and gods were originally mortals; only afraid that mortals' will is not firm... On the road of cultivation, where are there no calamities? Having reached this step, if one hasn't even broken through life and death, then don't practice the Dao." Jiang Your Majesty said blandly.

"This is his calamity, and also his fate. If he can't pass it, then there's nothing to be done."

As he spoke, Jiang Your Majesty pushed his reading glasses, gently picked up the thermos cup on the table, blew away the floating tea leaves, and took a small sip.

Fan Lingzhou and Yue Cangfeng looked at each other, remaining silent.

"President, what about that little ghost hiding in Yujing City?"

Just at this moment, Yue Cangfeng spoke again, his eyes containing a cold luster.

"That little ghost is also Zhang Lingzong's seed. Ten years ago, the one who hurt Changgeng under Long Hu Mountain was definitely him. Not long ago, the slight fluctuation in Dongshan Province, I estimate it was also him..."

"This little ghost entered the Great Night Not Bright, and now it looks like he has already escaped the calamity. Absolutely cannot be left alone."

Speaking to this point, a sharp killing intent flashed in Yue Cangfeng's eyes.

"Little Yue, do you know why you always lose to Little Fan in chess?" Jiang Your Majesty stared at the chessboard, his kind gaze falling on the Chu-Han boundary.

"Hmm!?" Yue Cangfeng, hearing this, was slightly stunned, subconsciously shaking his head.

"Playing chess is not about fighting for spirit; one cannot blindly be brave and fierce." Jiang Your Majesty said blandly.

"Otherwise, even with the heroism of the King of Chu, one can only commit suicide at the Wu River."

"I... I don't understand the President's meaning."

Yue Cangfeng scratched his head, looking at Fan Lingzhou somewhat awkwardly. The latter also shrugged, seemingly not having grasped Jiang Your Majesty's meaning either.

"Playing chess emphasizes give and take. Since we have already made our move, we should also let others walk their steps." Jiang Your Majesty looked at the general who had been arched into a dead end by the small pawn, and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm!?"

"Let others walk their steps?"

Yue Cangfeng and Fan Lingzhou looked at each other, both confused, not knowing who the "others" in Jiang Your Majesty's mouth referred to.

Drip... Drip... Drip...

Just at this moment, the fax machine beside the desk rang, and a document was transmitted over.

Yue Cangfeng, seeing this, hurried over, picked up the document, and glanced at it. His expression was stunned.

"President, this came from Zhenwu Mountain."

Yue Cangfeng's face was filled with shock, and he respectfully handed the document to Jiang Your Majesty.

Jiang Your Majesty only glanced at it lightly, his gaze tightening violently, but in an instant, he returned to his original kind appearance.

"Daoist Brother's wonderful move!!"

Jiang Your Majesty murmured softly, placed the document beside the table, and with a wave of his hand, the small pawn that had arched the general into a dead end turned into powder in an instant.

On this day, a piece of news came out from Zhenwu Mountain and spread throughout the Daoist world under Heaven.

Next year, the second day of the second lunar month, Zhenwu Mountain's disciple-recruitment ceremony.

Chu Chaoran will choose a closed-door disciple to inherit the Pure Yang Dharma lineage. At that time, fellow Daoists from all sides are invited to the mountain to observe the ceremony!!!
