410 Changes I

As long as one still has a sliver of self-confidence and has not been completely defeated, the Final Form will not self-destruct or degenerate.

But at this very moment.

Ran Xin Yue recalled the monster Great Grandmaster who called himself Zhang Rongfang. His speed, strength, defense, and recovery all surpassed those of them, the Worship God Grandmaster.

That was a complete and utter crushing defeat.

No wonder the final Worship God Grandmaster broke down.

Ran Xin Yue herself felt that her Dao heart was unstable and her Final Form was in grave danger.

She immediately put aside her distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

As long as you don't think about it, you won't feel defeated, and you won't Final Form unstable! Hmm.

'That guy can't possibly be Zhang Rongfang! A monster Extreme Realm's cultivated for who knows how many years, suddenly appearing disguised as a junior. And he even has the nerve to call me "Uncle-Master"! Shameless!'

Once Ran Xin Yue had this thought in her mind, everything suddenly went smoothly.

Her somewhat unsteady Final Form quickly stabilized.

"Yes. Only those lunatics in the Extreme Realm would do something so outrageous."

That's true. Haven't they done plenty of outrageous things throughout history? One more won't make a difference. So he's an old monster who's cultivated for countless years longer than me! Maybe even over a hundred years! With my talent, if we started cultivating at the same time, I definitely wouldn't be weaker than him!

Thinking about it this way, Ran Xin Yue felt that her Final Form was more stable.

Immediately, she regained her confidence and stood up, though she was weakened from having her Spirit Thread devoured.

However, maintaining the strength of the Three Voids Worship God and ensuring safety is still possible.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around to collect the spoils of the three grandmasters.

Suddenly, she paused, her expression changed slightly, and she looked towards the depths of the forest on her right.

"Who goes there!?"

"It's me, Xin Yue."

Two strong men and women dressed in tight-fitting green leather outfits, wearing cloaks and carrying bows and arrows, emerged from the Woodland.

Both were masked, with agile figures and extremely powerful arms. The longbows they carried were made of some kind of special metal.

"Are you alright?" the man in the middle of the two asked in a deep voice.

"It's alright. You're late." Ran Xin Yue's expression changed slightly. She looked around and said again.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else!"

"Good!"

The three of them left quickly together.

After driving for more than ten minutes through the forest and mountains, we finally stopped and stood still in a depression between gullies.

"Did you see the signal I sent?!" Ran Xin Yue asked softly.

"Don't worry, we can avoid those eyes and ears here. We just happen to be nearby and are also very worried about you. Many people in the group miss you very much," the masked man said in a deep voice.

At the same time, he took out a special black Token full of holes from his pocket and showed it to Ran Xin Yue.

"Since I chose this path, there's no turning back." Ran Xin Yue shook her head. "This time, I wouldn't have sent out a distress signal unless I was forced to."

"What on earth happened?!" the Masked Woman interrupted.

Ran Xin Yue quickly recounted her experience in its entirety.

As she spoke, their eyes widened more and more as they listened.

"Are you sure that person didn't Worship God?!" the man asked incredulously.

"Yes, there is a fundamental difference between Worship God and No God Worshipping. After we Worship God, we can sense the difference in others. Just like the two of you, you are not Worship God now. I can tell the difference," Ran Xin Yue replied.

"There's only one type of person who could kill three Worship God Grandmaster No God Worshipping," the masked man said solemnly.

The three exchanged a glance.

"Great Grandmaster the Extreme Realm!"

Ran Xin Yue said in a low voice.

"Yes."

"So, where did the real Zhang Ying go? And where is the real Zhang Rongfang? Why would that person need to impersonate someone else? Is there something special about this identity?"

"Could it be a plot to seize control of the Great Dao Sect? But why was it suddenly exposed at this time?"

"Could it be? That person knows your true identity, Xin Yue!?"

Suddenly, the Masked Woman uttered a sentence that silenced the other two.

The three fell silent, their thoughts clashing intensely.

For a long time.

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense," Ran Xin Yue said, alarmed.

"He probably already knew I was a member of the Reverse Time Society. So he deliberately exposed himself in front of me in order to get in touch with us. Because he knew that even if I told Yue Dewen about him, probably no one would believe me."

"A twenty-two-year-old Great Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm? You must be mistaken. It should be two hundred and twenty years old, right?" the masked man said speechlessly.

"Then who do you think this person is?" Ran Xin Yue asked. "The leader of the Extreme Realm in the organization is unpredictable and difficult to contact, but you are often at headquarters, so you should know him better than I do."

"I don't know. Entering different Extreme Realm brings different obsessions and aftereffects. Several Extreme Realm masters have forgotten a lot of things. But let's try sending a message back to see if anyone else knows. After all, there are only a few Extreme Realm Great Grandmaster."

"Should we send a message to Yue Dewen?" Ran Xin Yue asked.

"No, if we could bring this person into our ranks, it would be a great help to our cause," the masked man replied. "We're also in contact with the Confucian Sect. Their reaction hasn't been great; they seem to be watching from the sidelines, neither opposing nor approving."

"Their principle is that a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. We are at a disadvantage now, so naturally they don't think highly of us. We are all on the path to the Extreme Realm, and sooner or later they will be forced to confront Gods and Buddhas," the Masked Woman said coldly.

"I don't have much time to stay here, so please investigate and get back to me as soon as possible," Ran Xin Yue instructed.

"Don't worry, within three days."

*** Zhang Rongfang returned home, changed his clothes, and then leisurely returned to the Mu Chi Prefecture where he had watched the play.

Another play was already being performed on the stage, featuring a beautiful woman dressed in light gauze, sitting in the center of the stage playing a solo Pipa.

The Pipa was like pearls falling onto a plate, light and crisp.

The people below were eating sunflower seeds, drinking beverages, or bragging.

My brother-in-law has already gotten up and disappeared; he's probably gone to the government office again around this time.

With unrest raging nearby and affairs keeping him very busy, it's remarkable that he was able to stay for so long.

Lu Mei Sha was talking quietly with her older sister Zhang Rongyu.

Upon seeing Zhang Rongfang return, Lu Mei Sha's face inexplicably flushed, and she snorted and ran away.

The older sister was left there, secretly chuckling to herself.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Rongfang sat down, picked up a pear, and stuffed it into his mouth.

They didn't spit out the pits, but chewed them up and swallowed them in a few bites.

"It's nothing, I just wanted Mei Sha to consider you. Didn't you take Chen Yu Xi away? She's getting old and can't find anyone suitable right now. I think you two are quite a good match," Zhang Rongyu said with a smile.

She made no mention of what she had just said: that Zhang Rongfang secretly took Chen Yu Xi away because he was jealous and liked her.

"She has a terrible temper. There's only a chance if she's willing to change. Otherwise," Zhang Rongfang said bluntly.

"Who are you calling bad-tempered?!" came Lu Mei Sha's angry voice from behind.

"Look at this," Zhang Rongfang couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't this just a bad temper?"

"I have a very good temper! Absolutely!!" Lu Mei Sha rushed over and stood to the side, roaring. "If you dare say I have a bad temper again, believe me, I'll beat you up!!"

Zhang Rongyu couldn't help but laugh too.

"I'll give you two hands." Zhang Rongfang said without changing his expression.

"You!!!" Lu Mei Sha was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to fight on the spot, but when she thought about the difference in strength between the two, she was afraid that she would really be beaten. She knew that Zhang Rongfang was capable of fighting.

I was so frustrated that I felt like I was about to explode with anger.

"Sister!! Look at him!!" She immediately turned her head, grabbed Zhang Rongyu, and stomped her foot in a spoiled manner.

"Alright, alright, you're acting like little kids." Zhang Rongyu patted her hair helplessly. "With your temper, you're too impatient. Can't you see he's just teasing you?"

Lu Mei Sha immediately became agitated, muttering some unpleasant words, essentially refusing to admit that she had a bad temper.

Zhang Rongfang to the side, was somewhat surprised. When did Lu Mei Sha become so close to her sister?

Out of respect, he didn't use his Dark Light Vision to look at his sister, but even without it, he could sense that Zhang Rongyu didn't know martial arts. At most, she had smooth breathing and was more energetic than the average person.

The rest are just ordinary people.

I don't know what method they used.

After a while, Lu Mei Sha was coaxed into calming down and turned to leave.

Zhang Rongyu then pulled Zhang Rongfang to a nearby Tea Pavilion to brew tea.

"You look like you have something on your mind. Tell me, what's wrong?"

The two sat down cross-legged, and a maid brought out tea sets and charcoal fire.

"However, this trip back has taken long enough; it's time to go back to my post," Zhang Rongfang replied.

He came back this time only to visit his Elder Sister and Brother-in-law, but he didn't expect to encounter so many things.

"Your post? You're definitely not in the place you mentioned before. Tell me the truth, where are you working?" Zhang Rongyu's smile slowly faded.

"In Qingchuan Prefecture, Ze Province," Zhang Rongfang answered honestly.

"Your face screams that something's wrong," Zhang Rongyu sighed. "Remember, Wushan Prefecture will always be your home. Your brother-in-law and I will always be here. No matter what trouble you get into outside, if you really can't handle it, then come back."

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of Zhang Rongfang. Their hands were intertwined on the edge of the table, and for a moment they were silent.

The maids lit a fire, added charcoal, placed a kettle, and poured in mountain water.

A faint red light appeared.

The two remained silent.

Until the water in the kettle just begins to boil, producing bubbles like fish eyes.

Zhang Rongyu then withdrew his hand and began to carefully prepare the tea.

The tea leaves are granules crushed from a roasted tea cake. I don't know what kind of tea it is, but it has a strong fruity aroma when I take it out.

"Actually, you're getting older and have your own opinions now. But in life, many times, you can't shoulder everything just because you're stubborn."

She looked up at her younger brother.

"Don't forget, you still have me as your older sister. I wouldn't have dared say this before, but now..."

She said seriously again.

"Without your brother-in-law, I wouldn't be like I used to be."

"We are different now."

Zhang Rongfang, the "sister," had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"So don't be afraid. We will definitely, definitely become people above all others!" Zhang Rongyu said softly.

Looking at Zhang Rongfang, who was growing more and more like his father, she felt a surge of hope for the future.
