The person who barged into the Wizard Li's God's eyes was a young man wearing a brownish-red suit with a face as fair as jade. He looked to be in his twenties at most. If he were to appear in a high school, it would be reasonable for him to be regarded as a student.
This young man was originally chatting with Consul Hong with a smile on his face. His courteous and calm demeanor gave off a sense of maturity that was contrary to his appearance. He could be said to be quite graceful. However, when he seemed to have sensed something while he was chatting and turned his head to meet Zhang Lisheng's eyes, his face suddenly became distorted. It was as though he had instantly transformed into a monster that was waiting to devour someone.
"Zhang Lisheng, Zhang Lisheng, Zhang Lisheng …" The young man stared at Zhang Lisheng for a while and his mouth twitched nervously. Then, he began to call out Zhang Lisheng's name louder and louder.
As the man's furious roar resounded through the world, the phantom of a skinny old Daoist priest, who was sitting on a futon, wearing a greyish cyan Daoist robe made of coarse linen, with three strands of long beard and a thin linen hairpin on his head, became clearer and clearer.
When the outline of the old Taoist became clear, he seemed to have come to life. His posture of resting with his eyes closed suddenly changed as he opened his eyes to look at Zhang Lisheng.
Feeling an unprecedented pressure, Zhang Lisheng's hand that had already reached into his backpack clenched a faith gem tightly and smiled coldly. "I remember that you're Duan Lianbao, an elite disciple of the Gate of Dao.
You should know that I've reconciled with the Gate of Dao and the previous grievances have long been written off. If you want to make a move on me now, you'd better think about whether you can bear the serious consequences or not.
Not only that, this is New York in the US, not your Gate of Dao.
The person standing next to you is a senior official of the Chinese bureau, not a brother or sister of the same Gate. I don't know how you managed to condense that old Taoist's projection behind you, but I know that your 'juggling' has already attracted the attention of the entire Manhattan. The pressure it produced has also almost caused the Chinese Consul General in New York to have a nervous breakdown. If I were you, I'd quickly calm down.
"You destroyed my Senior Brother's corpse and destroyed my Martial Uncle and Martial Uncle's bodies and souls. When I was refining my body in the alchemy furnace and my soul in the demonic domain, every time I felt like I was living a life worse than death and couldn't hold on, all the pain would be swept away as long as I imagined your appearance.
Compared to my hatred for you, that pain is nothing at all … "Duan Lianbao gritted his teeth and said. However, when he caught a glimpse of Consul Hong, who had already lost his composure and was sitting on the ground with his mouth wide open like a fish out of the water, panting heavily, the old Taoist's phantom behind him slowly disappeared.
The pressure receded like a flood, but Zhang Lisheng did not let go of the faith gem. Shrugging, he said with a smile, "No matter how much you hate me, you've chosen to focus on the overall situation now.
Congratulations on defeating yourself, young man. " The praise in his words was not sarcasm, but it was more sarcastic than sarcasm, causing Duan Lianbao to be so furious that his entire body trembled.
Zhang Lisheng's plan was to bully Duan Lianbao with his power and repeatedly infuriate Duan Lianbao. In the end, he would wait for Duan Lianbao to be exhausted to make a move before eradicating his powerful enemy in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, when he was about to use his glib tongue to make the Gate of Dao's disciple suppress his anger again, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a black suit with an extraordinary temperament pushing open the wooden door of the consulate's side room and walking out quickly. Coincidentally, another room was also opened at the same time, and a black-haired beauty walked out.
After the middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament appeared, he walked straight up to Consul Hong and cast a spell. Consul Hong's body stood up swaying like a noodle with the help of an external force.
"Clear the heart and restore the mind." Moving his lips lightly, the middle-aged man cast the spell with a flick of his finger. After a gust of wind blew in all directions with him as the center, all the people who were suppressed by Duan Lianbao's aura and lost their composure felt relieved and returned to normal.
"How do you feel, Consul Hong? If you still feel flustered and stuffy, you might as well take a rest. You'll naturally feel better when you wake up." When the middle-aged man saw that Consul Hong's legs were strong enough to stand up, an apologetic smile appeared on his face. Then, he looked around and said, "The same goes for everyone else."
"D-Director Li, what's wrong? Section Chief Duan, he …" After Consul Hong regained his senses completely, he pointed at Duan Lianbao and said with a flushed face.
"Consul Hong, it's indeed my Junior Nephew who was reckless this time. I hope you can forgive him," the middle-aged man said with a wry smile. Seeing that he was unwilling to explain, Consul Hong, who had made a fool of himself, frowned. "T-This …" After a while, he finally said with a cold face, "I can forgive him. I, Hong Guangming, will not stoop to the level of a young man in his twenties.
However, according to the foreign affairs discipline, I must submit a written report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when such a thing happens. I hope you can understand this. "Nodding at Guo Caiying by the side, he forced a smile and greeted her before striding to the study room.
Looking at Consul Hong's disappearing back, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. Whispering to the Gate's junior who had caused the trouble, he ordered, "Follow me." Then, he turned around and walked up the stairs quickly.
Behind him, Duan Lianbao glared at Zhang Lisheng, whose face was filled with regret, for the last time. Gritting his teeth loudly, he abruptly turned around and ran up the stairs. In just a few steps, he caught up to the middle-aged man and called out in a low voice, "Junior Uncle Li …"
"Lianbao, our Gate of Dao adheres to the truth contained in 'Heaven, Earth, and Man.' The omniscient power and spells that we cultivate are different from the Gate of Dao in the world. However, 'Dao can be Dao, but it's not a Dao.' Our Great Dao can include the Minor Dao.
The ancient Chan, Dao, and Jie School are all branches of Dao … "The middle-aged man did not even turn his head around. While preaching the greatness of his Gate in a mysterious manner, he walked into a guest room on the third floor of the consulate.
When the middle-aged man saw that Duan Lianbao did not look impatient at all despite him saying a lot of nonsense and was still listening attentively, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Junior Nephew, you're born to be a genius that's hard to come by in a thousand years. Not only that, you're also trained by Senior Brother Duan so you're already extraordinary.
After going through hardships, you've also gotten rid of your impetuous temperament, and now, you're actually chosen by the Primordial Lord of Heaven and the Grand Supreme Lord's inheritance. I believe that you'll definitely be the leader of the Gate of Dao in the future … "
"Junior Uncle, you're overpraising me," Duan Lianbao said respectfully. "There are countless people in our Gate of Dao who are better than me in terms of virtue and wisdom. I'm already satisfied if I can contribute to the defense of the Gate of Dao in the future."
"You're talking about virtue and wisdom, but you're not talking about strength. It's clear that no matter how humble you are, there's no one who can be compared to you among the younger generation of the Gate of Dao," The middle-aged man sat on the sofa and shook his head with a smile. "Actually, even in my generation, or even in the previous generation, there's no one who can be your opponent.
How can the Primordial and the Grand Supreme Lord's inheritance be underestimated?
However, no matter how great your strength is, you'll just be a mad tiger if you don't cultivate your mind. You'll only bring disaster, so it's better to be powerless. For this reason, the Elders don't allow you to go into closed-door cultivation but to go out into the world to temper yourself.
I also know about the tragic death of Junior Nephew Zheng Tianliang. Senior Brother Song, I, and my brother's death is engraved in my heart … "When he reached here, a bone-deep hatred appeared on his face. Duan Lianbao, who was standing by his side, suddenly remembered that the blood brother of this Junior Uncle Li in front of him was one of the Gate of Dao's elites that he hated the most.
"But so what if it's engraved in my heart? The situation is chaotic now, and all kinds of gods and ghosts from outer space to the foreign realms have come out.
Our Gate of Dao wants to protect ourselves and even make progress at this moment, so the jade bait is necessary. "After the middle-aged man finished digesting his hatred, he finally added," For this reason, before 'that' matter is carried out, we can't act rashly no matter what. I hope you can remember this, right? "
"Junior Uncle Ju 'an, don't worry. It's just that I suddenly encountered the ancient witchcraft's successor that caused me to make a big mistake just now. I'll never do it again in the future," Duan Lianbao said resolutely.
"That's good! That's good!" Even though the young disciple beside him still looked young and inexperienced, he was actually the only successor of the Gate of Dao's leader. Naturally, Li Ju 'an did not dare to force him too much. When he saw him admitting his mistake, he nodded in satisfaction and comforted him instead, "You don't have to worry too much about this matter tonight. It's not a big mistake.
In the end, it's just that we've provoked the ancient witchcraft's successor and caused a small commotion among the foreigners, frightening a few foreign affairs officials. Now, in order to deal with those visitors from outer space, the central government always needs to use us, so they won't be too harsh on us.
Hmph, no matter how strong that witchcraft's successor is, he's just a loner. Even if he's quite valuable, he's just like duckweed in this chaotic world. He'll be gone just like that. Let's just wait patiently. Sooner or later, he'll have to face his tribulation. "
When the middle-aged man reached the end of his sentence, he could no longer suppress the murderous aura that appeared between his brows. At this moment, Zhang Lisheng, who was viciously cursed by him, was walking on the noisy Manhattan street at night. Coincidentally, he was also talking about these Gate of Dao's people. "Senior Sister, why are the shadows of those Gate of Dao's people everywhere?
They were in the Noah business delegation last time and now, they've actually appeared in the New York Consulate. Don't tell me that the Chinese government is really using them as public officials? "
"It's a special period now. The Atlanteans are doing everything they can to understand the detailed information about the cooperation intention between the US and China. In order to deal with the high-tech means of those aliens, the government can only rely on supernatural forces. There's no other way …" Guo Caiying sighed and answered with a lingering desire to continue.
Originally, no matter if it was the Gate of Dao's elites or the Gate of Witchcraft's powerhouses, even though they could be appeased by political treatment, none of them had ever served in a key department before. Usually, they would be placed in the scientific research institute under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the research institute under the National Defense University, or the ethnic and religious administration bureau of various provinces and cities under the State Bureau of Religious Affairs. However, due to the current situation, they had no choice but to grasp some real power.
Even though they were only military officers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stationed abroad, security cadres of secret units, and so on, it was not good to make an exception.
