Chapter 362: The Closed-Door Disciple of the Chu Chu Chaoran True Person

Yunshen Clubhouse.

Inside the Canghai Hall, tea fragrance spilled, and a wisp of incense smoke permeated the air. Directly above, a portrait of a Daoist priest was worshipped. That Daoist stood on Mount Zhongnan, the high sun hanging above his head, carrying an ancient sword on his back—it was none other than the famous True Person Chongyang.

"President Wu, I invited you here today because I want to ask you about someone."

In the main seat, a middle-aged man spoke. He was dressed in plain clothes, quite ancient and simple, his hands white and delicate, his face revealing a faint red glow—one look and one could tell his nourishing cultivation had reached the extreme.

"What kind of person does the Daoist brother want to ask about?" Wu Qilang looked at Wang Qianan, but remained calm.

Originally, he had come to Chang'an to participate in the 【23rd Daoist Youth Debate and Cultivation Forum】. The event had ended two days ago, but because of Wang Qingyi's incident, he had stayed behind, delaying for three days.

Now, Wang Qingyi's situation had stabilized, and the Wang family had finally come looking for him.

This person before him, named Wang Qianan, was an expert of the "Qian" generation, his cultivation already having entered the 【Zhai Shou】 Great Realm, and he held great weight among the high-ups of the Wang family.

"Qingyi, this child, I watched him grow up from a young age. Among the younger generation of our Wang family, he can be considered outstanding, and he has also practiced the 【Life and Death Ming Chapter】 left by the founder to three-tenths of its potential..."

As he spoke, a cold look surged onto Wang Qianan's face.

"Now, he is ruined, and there must be an explanation for this matter."

"I don't quite understand the Daoist brother's meaning." Wu Qilang said in a tight voice.

"Just now, Qingshan also said..." Wang Qianan pointed to Wang Qingshan standing beside him.

On an occasion like today, naturally, there was no seat for him.

"Everyone knows the ins and outs of the matter. Today, I invited President Wu and Daoist friend Lin here to discuss it clearly."

As his voice fell, Wang Qianan looked at Wu Qilang, and then at a Daoist priest sitting on his left.

That Daoist priest was of similar age to Wang Qianan, yet his phenomenon was not the slightest bit inferior to his.

Daoist Kusong, Lin Kusong, an expert of Mount Zhongnan, was also in the 【Zhai Shou】 Realm and was the person in charge of hosting this forum.

"The Purple Electric Toad is an innate strange treasure. That young man named Qin Ergou is a disciple of Mount Zhongnan. Since he obtained the opportunity, that is his fate; I will not ask more..."

Wang Qianan said in a deep voice: "But that person named Zhang Fan..."

Speaking to this point, Wang Qianan paused and looked at Wu Qilang: "I have never heard of this little brat, but his methods do not look like those of someone from our Daoist Gate..."

Wang Qinghe had his cultivation ruined by him, Wang Qingshan was seriously injured by him, and even if Zhang Fan had not stepped forward, Wang Qingyi would not have rushed to Mount Nanwang and suffered this unprovoked disaster.

Item by item, it was hard not to notice him.

"President Wu, I heard that this little brat is from your Jiangnan Province?" Wang Qianan asked.

Wu Qilang remained silent. The Wang family appeared to be asking, but in reality, they were here to hold him accountable.

Wang Qinghe being ruined, Wang Qingshan being seriously injured, and Wang Qingyi almost losing his life were all actually related to Zhang Fan.

Most importantly, when the mysterious expert who seized Wang Qingyi's True Seed of Life and Death took action, Zhang Fan was also present, making it hard not to make associations.

How could there be such a coincidence?

"Zhang Fan is indeed from our Jiangnan Province, but he is not in the Daoist Alliance's establishment; instead, he is a disciple of Mount Zhenwu." Wu Qilang replied.

"A disciple of Mount Zhenwu..." Wang Qianan's gaze sank slightly.

On this point, he had also heard from Wang Qingshan, and he had even heard that this Zhang Fan had some ambiguous relationship with the descendant of Mount Sanqing, Yu Xuanji.

It was precisely because of these intricate relationships that Wang Qianan had not rashly taken action, but instead sought out Wu Qilang and Lin Kusong, wanting to probe Zhang Fan's background.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would have long since become prisoners of their Wang family.

"Our Wang family has also dealt with Mount Zhenwu. The year before last, for the birthday of the Zhenwu Great Emperor, I also went to Mount Zhenwu and visited True Person Pure Yang. I have seen all the outstanding disciples of this generation..."

"It seems there is no such person."

Speaking to this point, a look of suspicion surged in Wang Qianan's eyes. For such a young man to have had no reputation at all beforehand was truly too strange.

"I am not very clear about this, but it is absolutely true that Zhang Fan is under Mount Zhenwu." Wu Qilang paused slightly, then added.

"I can reveal a piece of news here."

"What?"

"Last year, a major case occurred in our Yujing City. Perhaps both of you should have heard of it. The Shen family colluded with the Wu Wei Sect to refine demon talismans, and the matter was exposed..." Wu Qilang said in a tight voice.

"The Shen family... I remember the ancestor of this family once studied at Mount Long Hu." Lin Kusong said in a tight voice.

The Shen family had been in the talisman business for generations, and even Mount Maoshan ordered large quantities of talisman paper, talisman ink, and other magic tools from them every year.

Lin Kusong naturally had also heard of it.

"Having obtained a method for refining demon talismans, they didn't know how high the sky was." Wang Qianan sneered.

Coming from a Pure Yang family, he naturally did not put such small families in his eyes.

"At that time, Zhang Fan and two Maoshan disciples were also involved and were brought back for investigation. That night, Mount Zhenwu made a call to guarantee him."

Speaking to this point, Wu Qilang paused slightly and looked at the two: "Do you know who from Mount Zhenwu came forward to guarantee him?"

"Who?" Wang Qianan asked, snatching the words.

"Three Three Tian Shi Liu!" Wu Qilang's lips parted slightly, spitting out a title.

"Liu Liu Nan Xu!?"

Wang Qianan's heart jumped, his gaze tightening slightly. Three Three Tian Shi Liu personally coming forward to guarantee this young man explained a lot.

At the very least, it could prove that this young man was not only a disciple of Mount Zhenwu but also held a status that was not simple. Otherwise, ordinary Mount Zhenwu disciples would not even have the qualifications to see Three Three Tian Shi Liu's face.

"Little Meng, how did you get to know this Zhang Fan?"

Just at this moment, Wang Qianan changed the subject and suddenly looked at Meng Qiwu standing behind Lin Kusong.

According to what Wang Qingshan said, Zhang Fan was invited by Meng Qiwu, which was why he stood up for that Qin Ergou, leading to all that followed.

"Qiwu, tell the truth." Lin Kusong was impartial, stating his attitude.

"Not long ago, regarding the Toad Treasure Mountain incident, I believe all seniors know that Zhang Fan and the two brothers Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang from Mount Laojun were also there..." Meng Qiwu said in a tight voice.

For a major event like the birth of an innate spiritual fetus, the Wang family naturally knew, and even after the fact, they had experts go to Toad Treasure Mountain to investigate.

"That kid was also there? He actually also has a connection with the descendants of Mount Laojun?" Wang Qianan's expression tightened slightly.

The degree of importance he placed on that young man named Zhang Fan continued to rise.

A disciple of Mount Zhenwu, appreciated by Liu Liu Nan Xu, and also having a good relationship with the descendant of Mount Sanqing, Yu Xuanji, and the Qi brothers, the descendants of Mount Laojun.

Yet for such a young man, he had never even heard of him before; it was strange, revealing a trace of eeriness amidst the extraordinary.

"Later, he stayed at Mount Zhongnan for a few days with the Qi brothers from Mount Laojun and received an audience with Ye Three Tian Shi, and we got to know each other from there."

What Meng Qiwu said was a selective truth, picking out no flaws at all.

"Ye Beichen!?" Wang Qianan was stunned.

"Ye Three Tian Shi also knows this young man?"

Wang Qianan's way of addressing Zhang Fan had unconsciously changed from "little brat" at the beginning to "kid," and now to "young man."

"How does Ye Three Tian Shi know this rising star of the Daoist Gate?" Wang Qianan could not help but ask.

Ye Beichen was the youngest Three Three Tian Shi of Mount Zhongnan, known together with Liu Liu Nan Xu as the "Double Heavens." His influence in Chang'an, and even the entire Qinxi, was extremely great.

Therefore, although both were Heavenly Masters, for Wang Qianan, the weight of Ye Beichen and Liu Liu Nan Xu was different.

"I don't know about this; I don't dare to ask more about Three Three Tian Shi's affairs." Meng Qiwu shook her head.

This was indeed the truth; she was also very curious about the relationship between Ye Beichen and Zhang Fan.

"Zhang Fan..."

Wang Qianan remained silent, but in his heart, he was chewing on this name. Fortunately, he was cautious by nature and did not rashly take action to arrest him. Now it seemed that this unknown young man had great energy, and the relationships behind him were actually so intricate.

"Daoist brother Wang, I have a sentence; I don't know if I should say it or not."

Just at this moment, Wu Qilang spoke.

"Daoist friend can speak freely." Wang Qianan said.

"What I say next is just my own opinion, a personal guess. I hope that once we walk out of this door, everyone will act as if they haven't heard it." Wu Qilang said solemnly.

Wang Qianan heard this, his expression turning serious, and then he said in a deep voice: "Daoist friend, rest assured, today's conversation will not leak a single word."

As he spoke, his gaze glanced at Wang Qingshan beside him.

"I can also guarantee it." Lin Kusong nodded.

"Next month is the apprenticeship ceremony of the Chu Chu Chaoran True Person, right?" Wu Qilang changed the subject, mentioning an unrelated matter.

"Hmm!?"

Wang Qianan was stunned at first, and then his expression became solemn.

"Now the outside world is curious about what kind of root seedling could make the Chu Chu Chaoran True Person value them, break the rules to reopen the mountain gate, and accept them into the sect." Wu Qilang continued.

"This Zhang Fan, seemingly appearing suddenly, if you ponder carefully, there are traces to follow."

"President Wu means that the closed-door disciple the Chu Chu Chaoran True Person wants to accept..." Wang Qianan raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing.

"I didn't say anything." Wu Qilang laughed loudly.

"Could it be that this Zhang Fan could be..." ===== CHAPTER 363 =====
