Li Ke and Wang Hai were completely confused by the conversation.
This Chen guy knew Celestial Master Zhang?
From his tone, the two seemed to be very close.
Also, this kid was called back to deal with a powerful demon that was about to be born?
The fuse of the legendary event?
Li Ke and Wang Hai couldn't help but gulp.
They felt like they'd heard something terrible.
The old Taoist seemed to have noticed their thoughts.
He casually glanced at the two of them.
"Don't say another word after you get out of here. Otherwise, you two won't be able to escape."
Both of them shuddered.
The old Taoist had spoken in a very gentle tone.
However, there was a trace of bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.
Chen Zhao let go of Zhang Ding.
Zhang Ding's face turned red and white. His limbs felt uneasy.
His eyes flashed. He seemed to be hesitating about whether he should take this opportunity to attack Chen Zhao.
"Daojun Zhang, don't make a mistake," the old Taoist suddenly said with a snort.
The old man seemed to be able to read people's minds.
Zhang Ding sneaked a glance at the old Taoist and put his thoughts away, embarrassed.
"Go and undo the Spirit Vessel Seal on that person."
"Spiritual Master Wuxu, this person and his ancestor have a grudge against me …"
"I don't care what grudge you have with him, but I know that if you don't undo it, you won't be able to get through this."
The old Taoist glanced at Chen Zhao.
"Zhang Daojun, this is a person who once beat up a peerless great demon to the point that he couldn't even take care of himself. In terms of means, you can't beat him. Moreover, he doesn't hang around in the country, so your influence is useless against him. If you push him too far, he might really kill your entire family."
"Whatever," Zhang Ding said. "As long as this kid agrees not to be an enemy of the Maoshan Sect, I won't make things difficult for him."
"I won't agree on his behalf," Chen Zhao said coolly.
The old Taoist chuckled. "Daojun Zhang, now is not the time for you to ask for conditions. You can't even protect yourself. There's no point in talking about conditions."
Chen Zhao didn't know what kind of grudge Zhou Yinan had with Zhang Ding.
Perhaps he would agree on his side.
Zhou Yinan would turn against him.
In that case, he would be in a terrible situation.
Zhang Ding's eyes flashed. He unwillingly removed the spell on Zhou Yinan.
Zhou Yinan woke up in a daze.
Then, he looked at the strange scene in a daze.
He knew what kind of person Zhang Ding was.
The only reason why he didn't kill him when he saw him was because he was suddenly kind.
How could he suddenly undo the spell?
Also, why was everyone's expression so strange?
What had happened while he was under the spell?
Zhang Ding's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
Looking at the three people on his side, they all had different expressions on their faces.
Especially Wang Hai and Li Ke, they kept avoiding his gaze.
What the hell happened?
"Let's go." Zhang Ding was the first to leave.
He didn't even look back as he left in a carefree manner.
However, in Li Ke and Wang Hai's eyes, there was a hint of embarrassment behind his calm demeanor.
One of the most powerful beings in the Huaxia Spirit World had been beaten by a nobody.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
"Brothers, what exactly is going on?" Zhou Yinan asked.
No one answered Zhou Yinan's question.
Since Chen Zhao didn't explain, Li Ke and Wang Hai didn't dare to talk about what had happened.
After all, they had just been warned by Taoist Wuxu.
"Let's talk about you first," Chen Zhao said. "What kind of grudge do you have with that Zhang Daojun?"
Zhou Yinan lowered his head, not really willing to speak.
"Old Zhou, we're all on the same side. There's no need to be so secretive."
"Yeah, Old Zhou, we went through thick and thin just now," Wang Hai said. "Also, I won't hide it from you. I also have some grudges with the Maoshan Sect."
Everyone's eyes focused on Wang Hai. Wang Hai continued, "I told you that my master was an old beggar. I was the one who sent him off in the end."
Everyone nodded. Chen Zhao had only met Wang Hai today, but he did mention this to Wang Hai.
"A few years ago, I went to his grave and found that the old beggar's grave was empty. After investigating, I found that a few days after the old beggar was buried, people from the Maoshan Sect wandered around the area. The Maoshan Sect is best at refining corpses. Moreover, the old beggar was not weak when he was alive. I don't even need to think to know what they're going to do with the old beggar's body."
Did this really need to be said out loud?
Of course it was for refining corpses.
The higher the cultivation of a cultivator, the more powerful the zombies they could refine.
Moreover, some cultivators' corpses could even be refined into certain spells.
Everyone was in the industry, so there was no need for evidence.
As long as there was a suspicion, then it was very likely.
Moreover, the Maoshan Sect had a history of doing such things.
Their viciousness was abhorrent in the Huaxia spiritual world.
Unfortunately, the Maoshan Sect was too powerful. Lone cultivators and savages couldn't beat them at all.
Moreover, they had political backgrounds and influence.
This made them somewhat unscrupulous in their actions.
They were also smart enough not to touch the corpses of important figures or people with powerful backgrounds.
"Forget it. Since you guys want to know, I'll tell you about me and the Maoshan Sect." Zhou Yinan sighed and made up his mind.
"I'm a descendant of the Ma-yi Sect," Zhou Yinan said.
Everyone was confused. Only Chen Zhao looked at Zhou Yinan with a meaningful look.
That was because the Qingyi Sect was derived from the Ma-yi Sect.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a branch of the Ma-yi Sect.
Chen Zhao also learned from Li Qing that the Ma-yi Sect was actually a branch of the Maoshan Sect.
This meant that Chen Zhao and the Maoshan Sect actually had a connection.
It was just that the connection was a little distant.
That was all Chen Zhao knew.
"The Maoshan Sect is divided into three sects: the White Cloak Sect, the Ma-yi Sect, and the Black Cloak Sect," Zhou Yinan explained. "The White Cloak Sect can observe the wind and water, detect the veins of dragons, and search for the secrets of heaven. The Ma-yi Sect specializes in exorcising ghosts and demons and also protects the sect. They are the Maoshan Sect's protectors. As for the Black Cloak Sect, they raise ghosts and refine corpses, reverse life and death, and invert human relationships. The Maoshan Sect has always been led by the White Cloak Sect, but in recent years, there have been many scammers using the Maoshan Sect's name in the jianghu. This caused the Maoshan Sect's reputation to plummet, so the White Cloak Sect retreated and went into seclusion. That's how the conflict between the Black Cloak Sect and the Ma-yi Sect started. My grandfather, Zhou Cangnian, was the leader of the Ma-yi Sect back then. He was also a protector of the Maoshan Sect."
"Is it the famous Ma-yi Divine Lord from 30 years ago?" Wang Hai asked.
"Hehe … I didn't expect someone to know my grandfather's name. I thank you on his behalf."
