Your Master Was Murdered

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

Half an hour later, a flash of white light appeared within the Mourning Hall, followed closely by three figures materializing inside.

One was a youth dressed in modern clothes, though he wore his hair tied back in a ponytail, looking quite young.

Another appeared in ancient attire, his complexion pale and sickly, yet his eyes held a sharp glint that others lacked.

The one in the middle was a young man who seemed around twenty years old, roughly one meter ninety in height, with long hair casually draped over his shoulders. Among the three, he looked like an ordinary person.

At this moment, Uncle Jiu saw them and immediately cupped his fists in greeting, saying:

"Lin Jiu greets the three of you. This humble Taoist is the Maoshan Daoist from the group!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan swept his gaze around the surroundings, instantly discerning a few things. The items within the Mourning Hall were clearly not from the modern era.

He quickly understood that this was definitely not his own world.

With that thought, Zhang Chulan felt a surge of excitement and silent elation.

From today onward, I'm no longer an outlier, hahaha!

When Zhang Chulan heard Uncle Jiu's self-introduction, he immediately cupped his fists and said:

"Hello, Uncle Jiu. My name is Zhang Chulan, and I'm the Moonlit Bird Walker from the group!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu smiled warmly and nodded at Zhang Chulan.

Then, both of their gazes turned to Jiang Zhen and the other person.

Jiang Zhen saw this, smiled, and said: "Jiang Zhen, my group name is: Pangu Clansman!"

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Chulan and chuckled, saying:

"Zhang Chulan, aren't you Chu Zhanglan?"

At these words, Zhang Chulan's face immediately showed an awkward, sheepish grin as he said:

"Uh... well, hehe, big shot, I was just being cautious. A chat group suddenly popping up—I wondered if some monster was behind it.

So, hehe, big shot, please be magnanimous and overlook my little fault!"

Jiang Zhen rolled his eyes at that, then turned his gaze to the last person.

At this moment, the pale-faced youth cupped his fists toward the three and said:

"This Humble One is Ling Lianhua. May I ask the three of you, what exactly is this place, and what was that sudden image that appeared? Why have I come here?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen patted Zhang Chulan and said:

"Kid, this is your job. Explain it clearly to him. I'll first investigate what's happened here."

With that, Jiang Zhen waved his hand, and the Creation Tome instantly appeared. In the next moment, countless streams of information converged into the tome.

When Uncle Jiu saw this, he was stunned, his eyes wide open.

A few seconds later, Jiang Zhen put away the Creation Tome and closed his eyes to organize the gathered information.

After a while, Jiang Zhen's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

"Interesting, very interesting. I never expected that in your world, Uncle Jiu, there was such a glorious era in ancient times.

There really were Level Six existences back then, but... it seems those beings have all left!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu looked at Jiang Zhen with a shocked expression.

"That... senior, are you an immortal or a god?"

Jiang Zhen shrugged and said: "Heh, I'm no immortal or god, but I can match them in terms of realm.

My path isn't one of cultivation or divinity. As for me, I'm still human!

Besides, I'm not that old either. In the past, I mostly grew slowly while in slumber.

Counting it up, I'm at most eighteen, not even twenty..."

Zhang Chulan heard this and snickered, saying:

"Big shot, so it's 'a man remains a boy until death,' right?"

Jiang Zhen rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"Heh, little Zhang, don't come cracking jokes at me now. Let me tell you, after a while, you'll understand the origin of your 'Moonlit Bird Walker' name.

I hope by then, you can still be like this!"

After speaking, Jiang Zhen turned his gaze to Ling Lianhua and said with a smile:

"Ling Lianhua, do you understand now what kind of existence the Chat Group is?"

Ling Lianhua nodded upon hearing this and said with a sigh of admiration:

"I understand. I just never imagined that other worlds truly exist. This has truly opened my eyes!"

Jiang Zhen curled his lip and said:

"This is nothing. Every world is different. Even dying and coming back to life isn't impossible.

Alright, let's not dwell on the extras. I'll tell you about the matter of us coming here."

He also spoke about some of the significance of this chat group's existence.

Then, Jiang Zhen laid out everything he knew about the chat group.

After hearing all of this, the three of them were stunned.

"Holy crap! Big shot, is this for real? We're basically working for the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Worlds?"

Jiang Zhen: "More or less. Anyway, there are benefits and drawbacks.

After all, danger exists. Like this time—you didn't have enough people, so you were all dragged in to fill the numbers.

It's mainly because something unexpected happened in Uncle Jiu's world.

Some things that shouldn't exist appeared, causing changes in the storyline. That's why we came.

Also, Zhang Chulan, don't you find it strange? Uncle Jiu, Lin Jiu, zombies, a Maoshan Daoist?"

As Jiang Zhen finished speaking, Zhang Chulan's eyes went wide, and he said with an incredulous look:

"Wait, big shot, don't tell me... you mean...

This is a movie world? And this Maoshan Daoist is Uncle Jiu?"

Jiang Zhen nodded and said, "Pretty much, but you've got the order wrong. It's not that it's a movie world.

You should see it this way: this world exists first, and with Uncle Jiu in it, then zombie movies came about!"

Zhang Chulan frowned at this, his mind racing. After a moment, he slowly looked up and said:

"Big shot, are you saying the world came first, and then the movies?"

Jiang Zhen nodded. "Smart. The movies we see are just people getting bits of transmitted information and finding inspiration from it.

Then they create novels, movies, and TV shows.

In the future, if you run into something like this, don't act so clueless again.

Besides, you and Li Lianhua are the same—in some people's eyes, you're just characters in TV shows or anime.

Oh! I almost forgot. The world I'm in now is also an anime world. I just transmigrated into it."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan looked utterly shocked.

But then, as if something clicked, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Jiang Zhen, saying:

"Wait, big shot, since you say I'm a character from an anime, that means you've seen my story. So, this 'Moonlit Bird Walker' thing about me—what's that all about?"

Jiang Zhen immediately gave him a thumbs-up and said with a chuckle:

"Smart, you're really smart. You guessed right. But as for the specifics, I can't tell you.

In short, the situation is about to unfold, and your peaceful life is about to be shattered.

So, I suggest you take this chance to train hard while you're out here.

Otherwise, later on... tsk tsk tsk, trouble after trouble, one after another! All left behind by your Old Master."

At these words, Zhang Chulan instantly thought of his constant moving around, and his face turned extremely grim.

Then, Jiang Zhen turned to Li Lianhua and said with a smile:

"What I just said to Zhang Chulan might not make sense to you.

But I can tell you plainly: I know a bit about your fate's trajectory. It might not be complete, but the gist is probably the same.

The Green Tea poison inside you can't be cured in your world, but in this world, it might not be impossible.

At the very least, the Golden Light Spell and Yang Five Thunders that Zhang Chulan here cultivates should be helpful to you. The Golden Light Spell is decent at expelling external evils.

Especially since the foundation of the Golden Light Spell is Dual Cultivation of Life and Soul. Combined with some of Uncle Jiu's talismans, it should easily purge the Green Tea poison from your body.

Of course, there's one more thing I can tell you: your master was murdered.

And your senior brother—he's actually not dead. So, think it over for yourself!"

After saying this, Jiang Zhen glanced at Zhang Chulan and said:

"Old Zhang, Li Lianhua's strength is formidable, and his martial arts are superb. His Yangzhou Slow and Xiangyi Tai Sword are especially powerful!

Think about it carefully. And your martial arts—they're not from your family either!"
