Almost immediately, Wang Ming and Zhai Yin shared the news that Teng Luchen was already suspecting Wang Ling.
In fact, Wang Ming and Zhai Yin had already rehearsed this earlier on in order to deal with how things would develop.
Apart from his blood relatives, Zhai Yin, Lotus Sun, Odd Zhuo, Kumiya Ryoko, Zhou Ziyi, Gu Shunzhi, Qin Zong and Xiang Yi currently knew Wang Ling's true strength.
Most of the remaining core members of Battle Sect, such as Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal and Immortal Zhenyuan, were in fact still half-baked.
Their instincts told them that Wang Ling wasn't just a sixteen-year-old teenager.
Instead, it was a ten-thousand-year-old demon experiencing the daily life of a high school student …
Fortunately, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was one of Wang Ling's few close friends in the cultivation world. Even if he was in a half-imaginative state, he would still tacitly cooperate with Odd Zhuo to cover for Wang Ling.
His EQ was very high, and his temper was very much to Wang Ling's liking. This was also one of the main reasons why Wang Ling had helped Battle Sect rise back then.
But it clearly wasn't appropriate for Teng Luchen to be the first to inform a core member of Battle Sect who was in a half-imaginative state about Wang Ling.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary people.
Now, Lotus Sun was using the power of the Gray Church to cover for Wang Ling.
At the same time, it might be necessary to achieve a two-pronged approach.
In this situation, Odd Zhuo was needed to coordinate the work.
"Master, what's wrong? Why do you look so serious?"
At Battle Sect's training ground, Odd Zhuo was instructing Zhou Ziyi in his cultivation of the spirit sword. When he received Zhai Yin's message, Zhou Ziyi saw Odd Zhuo's frown and hurriedly asked this question.
"There's a problem. Your grandmaster might be suspected by a senior. "Odd Zhuo didn't hide anything and told Zhou Ziyi directly.
Under his training, Zhou Ziyi's newly grown legs and body coordination had made great progress. He was no different from a normal person now. He had passed the test of walking, running, and jumping.
"Actually, I think it's already a miracle that Grandmaster hasn't been suspected until now …"
Zhou Ziyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Odd Zhuo. "Who on earth is suspecting grandmaster?"
"A senior surnamed Teng. Everyone calls him Elder Teng."
"Is his name Teng Luchen?"
"You know him?"
"He's the owner of the Nine Heavens Teahouse. And he knows me. In fact, Elder Teng was a good person. He was quite concerned about the development of the young people in the cultivation world. When I broke my leg, he brought tea leaves to our house to visit me, "Zhou Ziyi said.
"But you know your Grandmaster's situation. He's very strong, yes. But not everyone likes to be shrouded in glory. "
Odd Zhuo sighed. "Living quietly is also a kind of cultivation … I'm afraid you and I won't be able to comprehend this kind of spirit in a short time."
"Indeed."
Zhou Ziyi nodded.
He knew that he would never be able to reach Wang Ling's heights in his lifetime.
But Zhou Ziyi also had his own cultivation path, which he realized was very similar to Odd Zhuo's.
That was chivalrous, serving the country and the people.
This was also the reason why he had worshipped Odd Zhuo and taken him as his master back then.
Zhou Ziyi imagined that if he had great strength, he might take a completely different path from his grandmaster, Wang Ling.
For example, taking responsibility for the common people and becoming the benchmark for all the cultivators in the world.
As a benchmark, it was impossible for him to take the low-profile path of a reclusive cultivator … when that time came, all the glory of wealth and fame would follow.
As the saying went, "To wear the crown, one must bear its weight."
Zhou Ziyi felt that this was the path he needed to explore in the future: how could he not forget his original intentions and maintain his true colors under these limitless halos?
Although they walked different cultivation paths, Zhou Ziyi didn't think that he, Odd Zhuo, and Wang Ling were enemies.
The essence of the world was that light and shadow went hand in hand.
Some people wanted to be the shadow, and some people wanted to be the light.
Where there was light, there was shadow; no one could leave the other.
"Elder Teng is very strong; it won't be easy to fool him. Of course, I don't have much contact with Elder Teng. It's just a hunch. Shifu, you have to handle this carefully … "
After thinking for a while, Zhou Ziyi said, "I can handle the training on my own. Grandmaster is in trouble now, so you should go and solve his problem first."
"Your shimu is already helping out in secret on the inside. But the outside still needs to be resolved, "Odd Zhuo said.
Odd Zhuo said, "The command center of Nine Heavens Essence Courtyard has been hijacked by a group of villains, and Elder Teng is currently being held hostage to manipulate the system. This has caused the test field to deviate from the original script, and they've dispatched even more powerful spirit beasts to attack the high school students taking the test. "
"Hijacked?"
Zhou Ziyi asked curiously, "No way … Elder Teng should be very strong. Can they beat him?"
Very quickly, his eyes lit up, and he said without waiting for Odd Zhuo's reply, "Oh! I get it! Elder Teng is doing this on purpose … he wants to see grandmaster's reaction! That's why he arranged this! "
It could only be said that Zhou Ziyi was Zhou Ziyi in the end; he was indeed extremely smart and had figured it out with just one hint.
Odd Zhuo was very satisfied with this analysis. "Go on. If I had to solve this outside problem, what would you do if it were you?"
"Since Elder Teng is deliberately not doing anything to test grandmaster, then we'll force him to do it. Not only do we have to force him to do it, we also have to send people to save him. "
Zhou Ziyi smiled. "Elder Teng's identity isn't simple; it's reasonable for us to send people to save him. Furthermore, Elder Teng is in Songhai city, right? Isn't that within the scope of Battle Sect's authority? I remember that Huaxiu Alliance originally signed a very long security outsourcing agreement with Battle Sect … "
"Hahaha, you're too smart, Ziyi. We're thinking the same thing."
As he listened, Odd Zhuo couldn't help laughing. "We'll continue with the training later. I'll send Senior Immortal a message first. Tell him to take action immediately. Also, he must be on the highest level of alert. This will show how much importance Battle Sect takes this matter. "
…
Roughly ten minutes later, at Battle Sect's headquarters in Songhai city.
In Zhengyang Square in front of True Venerated Hall, the Primordial Horn, which the sect had set up on hundreds of mountain peaks, sounded like the deep cry of a primordial divine beast.
In a short period of time, each peak had dispatched a total of six thousand Battle Sect disciples at or above the Golden Core stage to assemble in the square.
Two hundred elders at or above the Nascent Soul stage were standing on magic artifacts in formation in the air above the square.
This was Battle Sect's first rapid response force after entering level one alert. Battle Sect had already practiced this several times before, but no one expected them to actually be put to use so quickly.
"It's the sound of the Primordial Horn … the elders want us to return to the sect quickly! Captain, what do we do now? "
At that moment, the sect disciples who were carrying out sect missions in Songhai city all raised their heads the moment they heard the Primordial Horn.
"Listen to my orders, unless you're on a mission to keep an eye on someone! Everyone else who can return to the sect! Follow me back to the sect immediately! There's going to be a tough battle! "
