Longhu Mountain, in the dim forest at the back mountain.

The tall young man grabbed the neck of the middle-aged man in front of him and lifted him up high.

“Hehe——”

The middle-aged man stared with his eyes wide open, his face flushed red, his feet kicking wildly in the air, and his two palms wrapped in Qi grabbed the young man's arms in claws. But no matter how hard he fought back, he couldn't hurt the other party at all, as if that arm was not made of flesh and blood, but made of fine steel.

"What is this, a disguise?"

Li Yun frowned slightly, ignoring the struggle of the man in front of him, and turned to look at the young Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain beside him.

He had only watched the anime Under One Person in his previous life, and he couldn't remember the details of the plot very clearly.

The young Taoist priest said quickly, "There is a man called Yu Huadu in Quanxing, known as the Man of Thousand Faces, who has the ability to change the appearance of himself and others..."

Li Yun was surprised and asked, "Can the voice and figure be changed?"

The young Taoist nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's quite interesting!"

Li Yun nodded and threw it away.

The terrifying muscle strength burst out instantly, and the middle-aged man's body turned into a stream of light, smashing seven or eight trees in an instant, crossing a distance of twenty or thirty meters and crashing into a broken wall not far away.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the middle-aged man's body was embedded in the stone wall, and spider-web-like cracks spread along the edge of the human-shaped pit.

Looking at the middle-aged man with his head drooping weakly on the stone wall not far away, the young Taoist priest widened his eyes in horror.

"He... he's dead?"

"He's not dead."

Li Yun didn't even look at the middle-aged man on the stone wall. Instead, he looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him and said calmly, "According to what you said, isn't it possible that everyone on Longhu Mountain has been replaced?"

“Indeed… huh?!”

The young Taoist priest finally reacted and looked at Li Yun in horror, who was feeling oppressive in front of him.

"I'm not a full-blooded demon! Don't come over here!"

"Ha ha!"

At this moment, hearty laughter came from the woods next to him, saving the frightened little Taoist priest.

Li Yun turned his head and saw Mr. Lu Jin, who was wearing a black suit, walking out of the forest, followed by seven or eight figures. They were the young masters he had summoned.

"Little friend Li, you worry too much."

Lu Jin smiled and explained, "Yu Huadu's ability is not that exaggerated. Except for him, as long as other people use the Qi in their bodies, they will immediately reveal their true form."

"I see."

Li Yun turned his head thoughtfully and looked at the little Taoist priest beside him.

The young Taoist priest quickly mobilized the Qi in his body to prove his identity.

Li Yun nodded, no longer doubting.

The young Taoist priest felt relieved and just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw Li Yun blocking in front of him, looking at Lu Jin, Lu Linglong and others with a calm yet dangerous expression.

"No way, you even doubt me?"

Lu Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise, but when he saw Li Yun's calm face, he stopped reluctantly and mobilized the Qi in his body to prove his identity.

The people following him also mobilized the Qi in their bodies to clear their suspicion.

Time was running out, so Lu Jin made it short and told Li Yun his thoughts.

Li Yun looked surprised: "You want to use me, who has won the Tongtian Scroll, as bait?"

Lu Jin smiled and shook his head: "What are you thinking? Your bait is too hard, I'm afraid they won't take the bait. I want you to take the forged Tongtian Scroll and pretend to practice, so as to lure them out and snatch it."

As he spoke, Lu Jin took out a copy of the Tongtian Talisman and handed it to Li Yun.

Li Yun took the copy, opened it and saw that the contents were all blank.

"no problem."

Li Yun nodded, put away the forged copy, turned and walked towards the stone wall.

Looking at Li Yun's back, Lu Jin took out his mobile phone and leaked the agreed location information.

…

At the same time, in the woods not far from the attic.

The man, whose figure and appearance were exactly the same as Zhang Chulan, frowned tightly, restrained the Qi in his body, hid behind a tree, and quietly looked at the black-haired girl Feng Baobao who was standing blankly outside the attic.

This person is none other than the Man with a Thousand Faces - Yu Huadu.

He was ordered by the acting leader to seduce the company employee named Feng Baobao.

In this attack on the mountain, in addition to the two goals of Tongtian Lu and the secret hidden by Tian Jinzhong, their third goal is the mysterious girl who once appeared in Zhang Huaiyi's memory.

In Zhang Huaiyi's memory before his death, Feng Baobao looked like this now.

More than a decade has passed, and her appearance has not changed at all. This almost immortal and eternal youthfulness has attracted the attention of Gong Qing, the head of Quanxing, so he listed Feng Baobao as one of the most important targets of this trip.

"Yu Huadu, why haven't you made a move yet?"

A cold voice came from behind him, and Yu Huadu quickly turned around.

I saw Xiao Yuzi, who was wearing a Taoist boy's robe...or the head of Quanxing, Gong Qing, walking slowly towards me with a calm expression.

Yu Huadu looked depressed and complained in a low voice: "Master, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's that Zuo Yu and Xu Si have been staying here, so I don't dare to show up easily!"

“…”

Gong Qing frowned upon hearing this, and glanced at the people outside the attic. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Forget it, don't worry about Feng Baobao for now. Tian Jinzhong's secret is our main goal. Now the mission has changed. You first cooperate with me to lure away the protectors around Tian Jinzhong, and then find a way to deal with this fool after you succeed."

"good!"

Yu Huadu agreed decisively, feeling relieved.

During the days he stayed in Longhu Mountain, he watched a lot of competitions and naturally knew what kind of existence Zuo Yu was - that was a monster that he could never deal with with his strength!

Soon, the two figures disappeared quietly into the woods.

Outside the attic, Zuo Yu glanced at the woods not far away with a smile, then patted Xu Si's shoulder.

"You stay here and look after Feng Baobao. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving for a while."

"Hey, Mr. Zuo, wait!"

Xu Si quickly turned around and wanted to call Zuo Yu.

But when he turned around, Zuo Yu's figure had disappeared in front of him, leaving only a faint breeze.

"...Running so fast."

Xu Si lowered his arms helplessly, then turned his head and stared at Feng Baobao who was standing stupidly in front of the attic.

"Bao'er, Mr. Zuo is gone too, now it's just the two of us left!"

…

In a remote courtyard in the back mountain, Rong Shan stood in the room, whispering to comfort Tian Jinzhong, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a complicated expression.

"Uncle Master, just stay here and don't worry about the situation in the mountains. The company and Mr. Lu have already set up a net against all the evil spirits. There won't be any accidents."

"Of course I know that."

"So what are you worried about?"

“…”

Tian Jinzhong glanced at the confused Rong Shan, said nothing, and just looked at the door with complicated eyes.

He still remembered the scene when his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei accepted the inheritance from the Heavenly Master. After the master had ordained him, his senior brother walked out of the attic with a heavy and sad face and announced two pieces of news to them.

They were the news that Senior Brother had officially inherited the position of Heavenly Master... and the news of Master's death.

Combined with the secrets he learned from his junior fellow apprentice Zhang Huaiyi, Tian Jinzhong was naturally very clear that the inheritance of the Heavenly Master's degree also represented the death of the previous generation of Heavenly Masters.

If Zhang Zhiwei really intends to pass the Heavenly Master Degree to Zhang Chulan.

Then after tonight, he will have to face the news of his senior brother's death.

This is the real reason why Tian Jinzhong is uneasy tonight...

Rong Shan naturally didn't know about this kind of thing, and Tian Jinzhong couldn't tell him.

Just as Rong Shan was scratching his head, thinking about how to reassure Uncle Tian, ​​the sound of fierce fighting suddenly came from outside the house.

Rong Shan was startled when he heard the sound, and immediately stepped in front of Tian Jinzhong, looking at the door vigilantly.

"Master Tian!"

"Master Rongshan!"

Accompanied by a scream of fear, the door was pushed open violently.

Gong Qing, who had lost his Taoist hat, rushed into the room in a panic, his freckled little face full of fear.

As soon as he entered the door, Gong Qing tripped over the threshold and fell forward involuntarily, revealing the grinning face behind him.

"A monster of all natures!"

Rong Shan suddenly became furious, and a golden light even more intense than Zhang Lingyu's emerged from his whole body. Then he stepped forward without hesitation, swung his palm wrapped in golden light and slapped the Quan Xing monster who was chasing after Gong Qing.

“Crack—”

With the sound of breaking bones, the man outside the door flew backwards, drew an arc and fell to the ground.

"He is the disciple of the old Heavenly Master!"

Looking at Rong Shan, whose whole body was covered with golden light in the room, the demon Quan Xing was suddenly shocked and quickly retreated, covering his broken arm.

Rong Shan's face was filled with rage, and just as he was about to chase after him, he suddenly remembered his uncle who was unable to move and his master's instructions. He could only suppress his anger, stop, snort angrily, turn around and pull up Gong Qing who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, a sudden scream of fear came from outside the high wall of the courtyard.

Rong Shan turned his head suddenly and saw the Quan Xing monster flashing past the courtyard door, with an unconscious Taoist boy with tear marks on his face under his arm.

"It's Xiao Qingzi!"

Gong Qing anxiously grasped Rong Shan's sleeve, tears streaming down her face, sobbing, "In order to let me escape, Xiao Qingzi was captured by them!"

"What?!"

Tian Jinzhong and Rong Shan couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"These evil beasts!"

Tian Jinzhong angrily hammered the armrest of the wheelchair with his arm.

Then he turned to look at Rongshan and said angrily.

"Rongshan, go quickly and rescue Xiao Qingzi for me!"

"good!"

Rongshan agreed without hesitation.

But just as he was about to walk out of the room, Rongshan suddenly stopped hesitantly.

"Uncle Master, if I leave, you here..."

"It doesn't matter. It's very secluded here. Besides, you don't really think Quan Xing would be interested in a useless person like me, do you?"

"But Master said——"

"Master or not, saving Xiao Qingzi is better than anything else!"

Tian Jinzhong glared at Rong Shan who had stopped at the door and said angrily, "Rong Shan, I tell you, if anything happens to Xiao Qingzi tonight, neither you nor I will be at peace for the rest of our lives!"

"Go now!"

"……yes!"

Rong Shan gritted his teeth, turned around quickly, and chased in the direction where Quan Xing's demon fled, wrapped in golden light.
