Chapter 303: Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing
Hearing the old Taoist's words, Pan Dan's expression changed slightly. He took a step back, covering his broken arm, and turned around to run away.
The moment he saw the old master waking up, he knew he had lost. No one knew how terrifying the old master was better than him.
But before he could move, he heard the old Taoist sighing.
"Stay."
Suddenly, there was a surge of wind and clouds in Longhu Mountain. The strong wind blew up the old Taoist's white hair and rolled up countless sandstorms, making the sky dark and the stars and the moon dim.
Pan Danfei's body in the air was getting slower and slower. As the wind whistled, his figure began to retreat, and finally returned to the original place. The wind between heaven and earth was like invisible shackles that bound his hands and feet.
Li Daoxuan was dazzled by what he saw; this turned out to be the Borrowing Wind among the 72 Disha magical powers .
If he used this magical power, it could only affect the Yin God realm at most. Unlike the old Taoist priest, he could actually restrain a Yang God cultivator!
Pan Dan still wanted to struggle, but he pinched his hands to perform Taoist spells, and golden lotuses blossomed under his feet, protecting him and blocking the hurricane.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Qianyang and others were all incredulous, because this was the magic of Elder Zhenlian.
The old Taoist priest slowly walked towards Pan Dan and blew gently, extinguishing the blooming golden lotus light and also blowing away his transformation technique.
With snow-white beard and bright eyes, he has an immortal demeanor. He is clearly Elder Zhenlian of Mount Longhu.
"Uncle Zhang!"
Zhang Qianyang was shocked. At this point, he had no choice but to believe that Uncle Zhang had actually betrayed Longhu Mountain.
"Uncle Zhang, why?"
Zhang Qianyang was extremely puzzled. In his opinion, Uncle Zhang was highly respected in Longhu Mountain and was a very trustworthy elder.
Since he was a child, Uncle Zhang has always been very kind to him. He often secretly took him down the mountain and bought him delicious food. In his eyes, Uncle Zhang was a carefree and free hermit.
Zhenlian glanced at Zhang Qianyang, sighed softly, and said nothing.
He seemed to have accepted his fate, staring at the old Taoist priest who was slowly approaching, and said, "Zhang Zhiyan, you are so lucky. If it weren't for Li Daoxuan, you would have been the one to die this time!"
After a pause, he looked deeply at Li Daoxuan and said, "What I regret most this time is that I underestimated you. I wanted to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, but I didn't expect that I would end up in trouble here!"
If he were given another chance to start over, he would definitely get rid of this insidious and cunning Li Daoxuan at all costs!
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Elder Zhenlian, I have to say that you acted really well. I did doubt you at first, but later because of the attitude , I gradually dispelled my doubts about you."
He exclaimed: "You really have a good way. You pretended to be Pan Dan, and then cooperated with Master Uncle to keep Master Uncle in the dark."
Zhenlian sneered and said, "He has always looked down on me, but he doesn't know that every step he takes is being used by me!"
Li Daoxuan sneered: "Then how did your arm break?"
Zhenlian's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
The old Taoist sighed softly and said, "Alian, the poison was not cast by Jiuxiao. The one who cast the poison was actually you, right?"
Zhenlian nodded, then looked at the silent Zhang Jiuxiao and said, "Zhang Jiuxiao, do you really think that the leader hasn't noticed that you are pretending to surrender?"
Zhang Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Daoxuan suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "So the person who fell into the devil's trap mentioned by the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox is not Zhang Jiuxiao, but you!"
Zhenlian was a little surprised and said, "It seems that you know a lot, but you are possessed by the devil? What is the way, what is the devil, it's just a matter of success and failure."
"Back then, Eight-Tailed Fox pretended to be subdued by Zhang Jiuxiao in order to deceive him into submission. But the leader soon discovered that Zhang Jiuxiao was only pretending to be nice. He actually wanted to use our sect to take charge of Longhu Mountain and become a Heavenly Master. Once he achieves his goal, he will definitely turn against our Holy Sect!"
"So the leader asked Yawei to contact me and reach a cooperation with me. I will be responsible for poisoning Zhang Zhiyan and at the same time frame the crime on Zhang Jiuxiao. He has a domineering personality and has made many enemies. Once Zhang Zhiyan dies, he will become the target of public criticism. At that time, the leader will help me kill him!"
Zhang Qianyang said sadly: "Uncle Zhang, what about me? Have you also planned how to take my life?"
As a descendant of the Heavenly Master, the only way for Zhenlian to become the Heavenly Master is to kill all the direct bloodline. Only in this way can the collateral line become the new direct bloodline.
So Zhang Qianyang must not live!
Zhenlian avoided Zhang Qianyang's sight and said, "Yes, Pan Dan promised me that you would die in the underworld, but I didn't expect that not only did you not die, but you survived and even recovered your cultivation!"
Li Daoxuan finally figured everything out and said, "So you changed your plan and decided to secretly add fuel to the fire, hoping that my master and Zhang Jiuxiao would fight to the death, and then you would reap the benefits. I guess you were the one who revealed my whereabouts in Shanghe Village to Zhang Jiuxiao after you turned into Pan Dan!"
Zhenlian sneered, "That's right, it's a pity that Zhang Jiuxiao and his son are too useless, and you actually escaped back. Li Daoxuan, you are indeed smart, but unfortunately, you ruined the leader's plan, he will definitely not let you go!"
At this point, the truth is revealed.
The Taoist master who was secretly bewitched by the Moro Cult back then was not Zhang Jiuxiao, but Zhenlian.
Zhang Jiuxiao thought he was using the Moro Sect, but he didn't know that the Moro Sect was also using him to intensify the internal conflicts in Longhu Mountain, and even used him to assassinate the poisoned old Taoist priest.
The person who poisoned Zhang Jiuxiao was Zhenlian. His original plan was to frame him and then join forces with the masters of the Moro Sect to kill him. However, he did not expect Zhang Qianyang to suddenly appear. He could only change his plan temporarily and contact Zhang Jiuxiao as Pan Dan, which led to the two of them constantly confronting each other and finally fighting to the death.
However, Li Daoxuan discovered Zhang Jiuxiao's secret in Shanghe Village, forcing Zhang Jiuxiao to take action in advance. Zhenlian then transformed into Pan Dan, ready to continue adding fuel to the flames. He believed that Zhang Qianyang would swear to protect the old Taoist priest. In this way, the two brothers must fight to the death.
All he needs to do is take the opportunity to kill the poisoned old Taoist priest, then he can kill two birds with one stone and become the final winner.
The plan was very good, but unfortunately, Li Daoxuan played a trick on it.
With the awakening of the old Taoist priest, all the conspiracies and tricks became a thing of the past in the face of absolute power.
"Alian, why, why do you have to become a heavenly master?"
The old Taoist priest suddenly asked.
He believed that he had done his best for Zhenlian. In Longhu Mountain, Zhenlian was second only to him in terms of status.
"Because I want to live, I want to become an immortal!"
Zhenlian's words made him slightly stunned.
Zhenlian stared at the old Taoist priest and questioned, "Zhang Zhiyan, don't you know that with my aptitude, cultivating to the early stage of Yangshen is already the limit, and I have lived for one hundred and twenty-four years!"
Humans' understanding and aptitude in spiritual practice far surpass those of monsters, but there is one thing they are far inferior to, and that is lifespan.
It takes at least five hundred years for a monster to cultivate to the Yang God realm, and its lifespan will be very long after that. Although humans can cultivate to the Yang God realm within a few decades, even for a Yang God master, it is difficult to live more than two hundred years. The only way to achieve immortality is to become an immortal!
With his cultivation level at the early stage of True Lotus Yang God, if he doesn't break through, he probably won't live for many more years.
"We all have the bloodline of the Heavenly Master. Just because I am from a side branch, I can only practice inferior techniques. Zhang Zhiyan, if you give me your resources, I may not be worse than you!"
The old Taoist priest looked at him with a very sad look for a long time, then spoke.
"Alian, do you remember the boxing moves I used to do with you after we played chess?"
Zhenlian was stunned, not knowing why he suddenly brought up this matter. The boxing method was slow and ugly. He persisted for a while, but gained nothing, so he gave up.
"The ancestor has a rule that the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing can only be passed on to direct descendants. Later, I found that your cultivation was stagnant, so I integrated the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing into that set of boxing techniques and taught it to you privately."
After a pause, the old Taoist priest said with great regret: "It's a pity that you can't learn it."
