Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 336 Parents who love their children will surely plan far ahead for them.

"So, is that Nascent Soul born from Wugensheng? I don't really think so."

Lu Qian flicked his sleeve, and a slight breeze swirled between him and the old Celestial Master, carrying the secret conversation between the two.

"Young man of the Lü family, didn't you already have your answer? Why are you asking me this question again?"

"As for whether it is or not, it's about 50/50."

Hearing the old celestial master's irritating voice, Lü Qian stopped teasing the old man. After all, if he continued, the centenarian celestial master would explode.

No one expected that Zhang Huaiyi, who had been hiding like a rat his whole life, would be able to bury such an astonishing secret in his own rat hole.

After glancing at the old master's ashen face, Lü Qian still asked the last question.

"Old Celestial Master, you foresaw this outcome, didn't you?"

The silent wind rippled between the two once more. The old master stood on the treetop opposite him, the breeze lifting his robes and stirring the white hair at his temples.

Even though he didn't answer, sometimes attitude is an answer in itself. The old master was not unaware of this outcome.

So what was it that allowed the old master Zhang Zhiwei to foresee some of the outcomes in the past?

The answer is obvious: the restriction passed down through generations of the Celestial Master—the Celestial Master's Degree.

Seeing this, Lü Qian abandoned his attempt to probe for information, but became even more determined and expectant about the path he was about to take.

"It seems that some things cannot be fully understood until one reaches a certain level of understanding."

He turned his gaze, his crimson-gold pupils sweeping over Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, and sighed as well.

"Alas, parents who love their children will surely plan far ahead for them and consider their fortunes and misfortunes. But they don't know whether such a loving heart is right or wrong for themselves and for others."

"To remain in this world, to wander through the mortal realm, is both interesting and tragic."

"Life and death are separated, time and years are intertwined. Even if we meet again downstream in time, are the people from back then the same people now?"

Lu Qian looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight was dazzling tonight, and the endless Milky Way flowed in the night sky, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden.

The radiance of the stars and the moon is clear and bright, more beautiful than sunlight, but it reveals a ruthless loneliness and indifference, like an eternal illusion.

"The flowers bloom the same every year, but the people are different year after year."

"I hate that the bright moon hangs high above me but does not shine on me alone; I hate that the bright moon hangs high above me but does not shine on me alone."

The old master broke the silence. He looked down at the situation below, which had changed from a fierce encirclement to a cautious probing, and added a sentence.

"It's just human nature; why talk about likes and dislikes?"

Below, the senior members, observing Zhang Chulan's sudden change and those strange yet familiar methods, all changed their strategies, shifting from relentless attacks to cautious probing.

Because of the past experiences with Wugensheng and [Shenmingling], which left them with too many shadows and bad memories, they did not want to suffer a similar fate.

However, after a moment, the veterans, with their rich experience and combat skills, no longer hesitated and changed their approach again, using even more ruthless and merciless moves and methods than before.

They have already figured out the limits of Zhang Chulan's bizarre methods. Although they haven't uncovered all the secrets, it's more than enough for them, whose goal is to kill him.

"So that's how it is. He really wasn't born without roots."

The veterans sighed with mixed feelings, their voice containing a hint of relief, followed by an even purer killing intent than before.

No wonder they turned on each other so quickly. If Wugensheng had stood in front of them in person, they wouldn't have dared to make a move openly.

Just like the legendary tale of the Old Celestial Master, even though Wugensheng was despised and scorned by many, no one dared to underestimate him.

He's a troublemaker, capable of stirring up trouble throughout the entire world of supernatural beings.

But now, these two young men with questionable methods are not Wu Gensheng himself, so what are they afraid of? Let's just do it!

Suddenly, three tall, robust old men rushed out from the crowd. They did not use their Qi, but relied solely on their physical speed to rush in front of Zhang Chulan in the blink of an eye.

The remaining elderly men used various methods to cleverly attack Feng Baobao, hoping to capture this silly-looking girl alive.

The three venerable elders, who appeared to be very strong and powerful, did not use their own external martial arts techniques to enhance their abilities after arriving at Zhang Chulan's side.

He simply relied on his physique, honed over a century, to wield his fists and palms, attacking Zhang Chulan's three dantian points with swift, accurate, and ruthless precision.

For extraordinary individuals, no matter how powerful their cultivation, once their meridians are sealed, they cannot use their immense power; no matter how wondrous their magic, once their three cores are destroyed, they can only dissipate their cultivation and become ordinary people.

But there are always exceptions, because life is the foundation of a person, and the life skills that a practitioner cultivates cannot be sealed or dispersed.

Without using thunder magic or golden light spells, the old celestial master could still knock down everyone present except Lü Qian with a single slap, relying solely on his physical body and spiritual sense.

However, Zhang Chulan clearly does not belong to this category. His cultivation level was mostly obtained by stealing it from the Qi Body Source Flow.

"puff!"

Before long, the three elders had completed their surprise attack, their three strikes accurately penetrating Zhang Chulan's three cores. Zhang Chulan instantly fainted, not even having time to react to the pain.

A tremendous force enveloped Zhang Chulan's body, about to send him flying backward, but before he could even lift off the ground, two more senior figures appeared behind him.

The two of them, one holding up a slender silver needle, flicked their wrist and, with a light touch, accurately pierced Zhang Chulan's Du meridian, blocking his entire body's meridian system.

Another person held two nails, each about an inch long, in both hands. With a flick of his wrists, just like the old man before him, he casually drove the nails into Zhang Chulan's collarbone in the back of his heart.

After completing all this, the five old men's cold expressions softened slightly, and they clasped their hands in greeting to the old celestial master standing on the treetop.

"Old Celestial Master, we have damaged his foundation today. Now we will use silver needles to block his meridians and steel nails to his collarbone. Once we get the information we want, we will hand him over to you for your judgment."

"Um."

The old master simply nodded, then turned his back to the scene and paid no further attention, as if he didn't care about Zhang Chulan's fate at all, even if he died on the spot, it was just a trivial matter for someone else.

"thump--"

Right after Zhang Chulan was captured, even though Feng Baobao was exceptionally intelligent and possessed a beast-like fighting instinct, she was no match for the old monsters who had been honed over a hundred years. Before she could even last two rounds, she was bound tightly by magical artifacts and talismans.

As for Xu Si, he was naturally knocked unconscious and casually left aside. Although Zhao Fangxu said that he would spare his life, the old guys still understood the limits very well.

"Young lady, we have no intention of taking your life. Perhaps someone will want you dead in the future, but at least not now."

"You are safe today."

The old men placed the unconscious Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao on either side of them. They surrounded the two, glancing at the two figures in Taoist robes standing with their backs to the crowd in the tree behind them, and tried to keep their voices down.

"We want to ask you, where is Wugensheng?"
