The photo of Zhongli Tingzhou being taken away by Genshan was uploaded to the websites of major spirit refiners.
As soon as I saw the photo, I realized that the man was cold and lonely, like a lonely snow lotus on a cliff.
The netizens who had sworn that Zhongli Tingzhou was the devil have all fallen silent.
"Fuck, is the person in the photo really Zhongli Tingzhou?"
"I was just thinking, if this guy is the devil, then everyone could be the devil.
"It turns out that the legendary genius who appears once in a million years is so handsome. I have decided that he is my idol."
"Don't rush to act crazy upstairs. His temperament could be a fake. We'll know if he's a demon king after the state tests him."
"Just wait and see. I don't think Zhongli Tingzhou can be the Demon King. Those who want to watch the show can stop thinking about it."
"Heh, you can't judge a person by their appearance. Didn't your parents teach you that the more innocent and kind a person looks, the more likely they are to scare you to death when they get angry?"
…
One photo stirred the already murky water into a puddle of muddy water even more. Everyone had their own opinions. Whether Zhongli Tingzhou was the Demon King or not, the attention reached an unprecedented peak.
The location of Genshan’s headquarters is secret and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. When Gao Han arrived at the door, he was refused entry.
Fortunately, General Zhongli arrived in time.
The Zhongli family is powerful and several of their people work in the military. Although they cannot cover the whole sky with one hand, they can still hold up half the sky. No matter how special Genshan's identity is, he dare not confront the Zhongli family and finally took a step back.
"That's right. Even Shi Huo doesn't dare to obstruct this general. You are still too young." General Zhongli walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and walked into the gate of Genshan headquarters with great domineering power.
Gao Han followed behind him, and no one dared to stop him.
Leaving behind the Genshan members who looked unwilling.
"The people of the Zhongli family are too arrogant."
"They have the capital to be arrogant. If you can be like General Zhongli, you can also ignore many people." Zang Shanding glanced at the person who complained, shook his head and went in.
Genshan may be powerful in front of most family forces, but that doesn't mean he can be powerful in front of the Zhongli family. A family that has been passed down for thousands of years is no joke. The younger generations seem to have become too proud of themselves recently.
With General Zhongli in charge, the people of Genshan did not dare to treat Zhongli Tingzhou rudely as they usually did when interrogating prisoners.
Zang Shanding was the person in charge of maintaining order, not the trial of the case. He left after handing over the matter. A moment later, the person who was really in charge came.
"General Zhongli, please forgive me for bothering you to make this trip in person. Genshan, please forgive me for not welcoming you in person." A middle-aged man with a small beard walked in with a smile. He was one of the persons in charge of Genshan, Yu Weiping.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. How are you going to prove that my brother is not the Demon King?" General Zhongli was as decisive as ever, without saying a single word of nonsense.
"General Zhongli, we are not here to prove that your brother is not the Demon King, but to prove whether he is the Demon King." The young man was unhappy that he spoke to their boss in this tone, and every expression on his face showed his dissatisfaction.
"Did the general speak to you?" General Zhongli slapped the table and swept his sharp eyes around, creating a sense of oppression in the room.
The young man felt as if a heavy weight was pressing down on his shoulders and he almost fell down.
"General Zhongli, please calm down. The newcomer is ignorant." Yu Weiping pressed the young man's shoulder without changing his smile.
The young man suddenly felt relieved and stepped back, not daring to speak again.
"There's nothing we can do. The orders have already been issued from above. We still need to test whether your brother is the devil or not," Yu Weiping explained.
General Zhongli snorted, "How are you going to test it?"
Yu Weiping looked at Zhongli Tingzhou, who had a cold expression on his face. "The method is very simple. In order to avoid missing something, we have prepared two procedures. The demon king has a special way of killing people, so his training method must be different from the ordinary. We need to test your brother's spiritual power..."
Genshan also invited people from the Soul Refiners Association. Over the years since the Demon King appeared, some people from the Soul Refiners Association had dealt with the Demon King and experienced his psychic power firsthand.
In addition to this, Zhongli Tingzhou also had to do something. Of course, this was not because the public wanted an explanation, so they gave it.
The existence of the devil, so far, no one can ensure that he will not cause any harm. Behind Genshan is the country, and anyone who may bring harm to the country cannot be let off easily.
"This is the general process. I wonder if you have any objections." Yu Weiping asked with a smile.
General Zhongli frowned, and before he could speak, Zhongli Tingzhou stood up with a hint of impatience on his face.
"Then let's get started."
"Since my brother has no objection, let's fight quickly and decisively." General Zhongli, who always followed his brother's will, no longer had any objections.
"Okay, please follow me." Yu Weiping led the way.
Zhongli Tingzhou took two steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Gao Han, "Aren't you coming over?"
As soon as he stopped, everyone stopped too, looking at Gao Han, confused.
Gao Han didn't think they could find out anything fishy. The difference between Xi Jing and Bai Yi Zhongli was not only reflected in their personalities, but also in their training methods and various fighting styles. It would be strange if they could find out anything.
He originally wanted to wait here for them to come back, but he didn't expect Zhongli Tingzhou to stop and ask him.
"I'll go take a look too." Gao Han didn't want to waste time explaining.
The whole program is not complicated to test.
The first few tests were conducted with instruments, and the results came out on the spot. Unlike the Demon King, his psychic energy was of very pure color. This information could be found out by simply checking at Penglai University.
The final test was actual combat, and Zhongli Tingzhou’s opponent was Zang Shanding.
Gao Han checked Zang Shanding's information on the way here, and suspected that the people of Genshan wanted to take this opportunity to test Zhongli Tingzhou's true strength, and Zang Shanding was the ruler.
He glanced at General Zhongli, who had narrowed his eyes with a dangerous look in them. It was obvious that he also understood.
Even the leaders of Penglai University don’t know how strong Zhongli Tingzhou is, let alone the outside world.
Although Zhongli Tingzhou does not hold any official position and has no competitive advantage, he represents the Zhongli family.
On the surface, he is of the same generation as Sima Yi and Tang Yuxi, so if we count seniority, they all have to call him uncle. But because he is of similar age to these people, when General Zhongli and others retire in the future, the Zhongli family will be controlled by Zhongli Tingzhou. Finding out his background is equivalent to finding out the background of the next person in power in the Zhongli family.
If Zhongli Tingzhou was a normal person, Genshan’s goal might be achieved.
Unfortunately, these people don’t know that the drama queen’s strength is not much weaker than Zhongli in white, and may even be stronger.
Gao Han actually couldn't understand this. Logically speaking, they were the same person. Even if the drama queen suffered from intermittent amnesia, his training methods and psychic powers should be the same.
But it was just different, and he couldn't understand the principle behind it. He could only find an opportunity in the future to slowly figure it out.
Gao Han withdrew his chaotic thoughts and began to focus on the battle in front of him.
Genshan's intention in selecting Zang Shanding soon became apparent.
Zang Shanding's strength has broken through to the second level. His magic weapon is a spiritual weapon, and even the talisman on it is a top-level talisman.
Above the superior talisman is the top-level talisman, whose power is unmatched by ten superior talismans. Especially the top-level talismans of good quality, which are almost out of stock and difficult to buy.
Zhongli Tingzhou's magic weapon is also a spiritual weapon, and it is a weapon in the form of a long sword, which fits the cold aura on him.
The long sword was unsheathed, the talisman vibrated, and turned into a sky full of sword lights, which attacked with overwhelming force and terrifying power.
Zang Shanding felt the powerful and invincible momentum. Every sword light was filled with murderous intent. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He used a killing move right at the beginning. If his opponent was replaced by someone else, he would probably be crippled if not killed.
The Demon King has never used such a powerful move.
Zang Shanding became more and more unconvinced by those rumors. If Zhongli Tingzhou was the Demon King, how powerful would he be? He could split his spirit into two? Even psychic power and spiritual arts could be split into two? That was nonsense.
Half an hour later, the door to the training ground opened.
The clothes on Zang Shanding's body were torn into pieces, becoming rags that hung precariously.
He has tried his best and has tried everything he can. Now that it has come to this, Zhongli Tingzhou will surely not be able to hide it any longer. The people outside were right in their guess.
He had indeed broken through to the second level of cultivation. No matter how talented Zhongli Tingzhou was, his strength was at most between the third and second levels. It turned out that his guess was just a guess.
"I am still not satisfied. How is it?" General Zhongli asked proudly with a smile on his face.
Yu Weiping glanced at the people from the Soul Refiners Association, who shook their heads slightly, "Based on all the test results, the possibility that Zhongli Tingzhou is the Demon King is less than 10%. I hereby determine that he is not the Demon King."
"Not bad, quite straightforward, much better than others." General Zhongli nodded with satisfaction.
"Let me see you three out." Yu Weiping personally escorted them to the gate of Genshan and watched them leave.
"What do you think?" Yu Weiping turned around and asked Zang Shanding beside him.
Zang Shanding sighed, "As expected of a genius from the Zhongli family. If it had taken a little longer, I might have lost."
“Even though I’ve already broken through to the second level, I’m still no match for him?” Yu Weiping frowned.
"If I'm not mistaken, Zhongli Tingzhou's strength is also second-rate, and he may break through faster than me." Zang Shanding didn't want to admit that he was not as strong as others, but the fact is the fact.
"The Zhongli family really should not be underestimated. Each generation is stronger than the previous one." Yu Weiping shook his head. The conclusion that the Zhongli family can't be stronger than three generations is totally inappropriate when applied to them.
Zhongli Tingzhou is still young, but his strength is already so tyrannical. When he takes charge of the Zhongli family in the future, who knows to what level he can cultivate? It seems that we have to notify those guys to restrain themselves and try not to confront the Zhongli family.
General Zhongli came by car, dropped them off at the school gate, and then returned to the military headquarters.
