Undercurrents IV
These Twelve Moves martial arts moves are based on the Blood Lotus and are structured around the terrifying explosive power of the Golden Toad Skill.
Then, using the martial arts Talisman Art of the Great Dao Sect as nourishment, they absorbed many other martial arts moves.
Finally, a new martial art with Twelve Moves was formed that could fully utilize its own advantages.
"Twelve Moves, three of which are ultimate attacks that can only be used in Blood Lotus State. The remaining nine moves can be used in any form. Their power is far, far greater than the previous moves."
His previous martial arts skills were completely unable to leverage the advantages of his Blood Lotus State.
Once the Blood Lotus is activated, the Breaking Limit Skill cannot be used.
But this new set of martial arts is different.
It completely redesigns the body, constructing a new power generation pattern that allows for the stacking of Breaking Limit Skill and Limit State within the Blood Lotus State! This is the true core.
Moreover, the Golden Toad Skill was not included in the martial arts techniques of the Great Dao Sect at all, so only some moves of the Flame Emperor Talisman could occasionally activate the explosive power of the Golden Toad Skill.
But once the Golden Toad Skill reaches the Sky Devouring, what's truly terrifying is the accumulation of power before unleashing it.
The power accumulated by Sky Devouring was fully unleashed this time under Di Jiang's guidance and integrated into the Twelve Moves martial arts moves.
"Since it is based on the Immortal Path Blood Lotus and the Golden Toad Skill of the Sky Devouring Realm, let's just call these Twelve Fused Martial Arts Moves the Twelve Immortal Arts."
"Go down the mountain. What about me?" At this moment, Ostandin, who was standing to the side, realized what was happening and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Zhang Rongfang's gaze, he suddenly remembered that he had killed the other party's subordinate before. "Wait!! I can make amends!!"
"Sorry." Zhang Rongfang didn't care whether the other party could come down the mountain or not.
Since Senior Di Jiang hadn't mentioned this, it meant that the other party couldn't leave. Therefore, he cupped his hands in gratitude to the other party for his guidance and instruction over the past few days.
But for the rest, there was nothing he could do.
Turning around, Zhang Rongfang looked at Ran Xin Yue was already waiting on the mountain road not far away.
The other person hesitated, as if they had something important to say.
Zhang Rongfang ignored what she wanted to say and simply walked over.
"Let's go, it's time to go down the mountain."
Ran Xin Yue had a complicated expression.
She had watched him grow rapidly from the very beginning.
Such speed, such talent, such physique—she already understood just how important the person before her Reverse Time Society.
In particular, the terrifying poisonous blood that was being used against the Worship God on the mountaintop did not isolate her, so she was always on guard duty by her side.
I've been observing from the sidelines the whole time.
"Now, there's some bad news you might need to know."
Ran Xin Yue paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"What news?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
Having made up for his huge weakness in martial arts, he now plans to begin observing and training his Blood Descendant. If there are no problems, he can use this method to quickly build up his own power.
To establish an absolutely safe territory for your life, you naturally need enough manpower.
Now he's figured it out: truly top-tier experts only need a handful of people.
The mutual support and assistance among a few people is enough to take care of a small area.
"Someone is impersonating you to kill experts from the Great Dao Sect!" Ran Xin Yue's words pulled him back to reality from his expectations for the future.
"To date, the Great Dao Sect has lost three Grandmasters and fifteen Super Grade experts!"
These words instantly made Zhang Rongfang's expression freeze.
He was valued by Yue Dewen because of his talent, which was an advantage, but his talent was so terrifying that it led to suspicion, which has always been the case.
But now, "the Great Dao Sect will probably send someone to investigate you very soon. The Great Grandmaster at the Jade Void Palace are very suspicious of you, but Yue Sect Leader has suppressed all the doubts about you."
Ran Xin Yue said in a deep voice.
"Furthermore, what's worse is that someone is investigating the methods you used to kill the Worship God Warrior. And it's highly likely that they've already found some clues."
"So, they can't target my master, so now they can only target me? They're looking for a breakthrough through me?" Zhang Rongfang understood instantly.
There's a mastermind behind this, using him as a weakness to target Yue Dewen.
"You are now the only legitimate successor to Yue Sect Leader. If something happens to you, it will cast a huge doubt on the Grand Master," Ran Xin Yue nodded.
"It's just an overflow of the conflict between the Five Kings. Someone wants to use my schemes to scheme against my master. But he doesn't know that many things, the truth cannot be hidden, and the false cannot be made true."
Zhang Rongfang.
The real problem is his methods of restraining his worship of Worship God.
He walked down the mountain, lost in thought.
Until finally reaching the foot of the mountain.
He then spoke again.
"By the way, are there any other top experts nearby like Ostandin Di Jiang?"
He now has a vague feeling that Ran Xin Yue's identity is problematic and that she is definitely connected to Di Jiang.
But at this moment, I pretend not to know.
In any case, Senior Di Jiang gave him a lot of guidance, and it could be said that he was practically a teacher to him.
Upon hearing Zhang Rongfang's question, Ran Xin Yue remained silent.
Ostandin isn't exactly a skilled fighter in the area, is he? Who lured him here? Don't you have any idea?
Previously, only Di Jiang lived in seclusion in this place.
But this guy's temper is such that if someone else went up the mountain, they wouldn't care at all.
If anyone disturbs him and lacks the strength and talent, they will be killed in a single encounter.
Therefore, for the rest of us, it makes no difference whether Di Jiang is here or not.
Zhang Rongfang noticed something amiss from her expression.
"It seems there isn't any, that's good, that's good."
"What you up to?"
"The situation is too chaotic; I don't want to get involved," Zhang Rongfang replied. "Otherwise, my master would be summoning me to Great Capital."
"So... do you want to go?" Ran Xin Yue's heart tightened.
"With Prefecture Lord Shangguan Feihe here, and with him as my witness, it's impossible for me to have traveled so far overnight to kill the other Grandmasters of the Great Dao Sect. Therefore, as long as we confront each other, this matter will fall apart on its own."
Zhang Rongfang.
He had just seen Shangguan Feihe a few days ago, and many people can testify to that.
Ran Xin Yue sighed.
The Great Dao Sect is now the target of public criticism, and it's unknown how many forces are investigating its weaknesses and flaws.
It was only a matter of time before Zhang Rongfang's affair was uncovered.
However, the key now is not that, but the method that Daozi has mastered to restrain the worship of Worship God.
This is what all the forces that Worship God are extremely wary of.
"Don't think about it anymore, let's go." Zhang Rongfang wasn't as worried as she was. He laughed heartily and strode back towards the distant Aloeswood Manor.
At this point, he had nothing left to fear.
Whether it's Master Yue, the Reverse Time Society, or the chaotic struggle for supremacy among the Five Kings, as long as he is strong enough, he can calmly observe and watch the world unfold.
As for such clumsy methods as framing and slander, their main purpose is nothing more than to draw attention to him and thus amplify the impact of the restraint on the worship of Worship God.
February 30th.
Shangguan Feihe sent a letter to clear Dao Child Zhang Ying's name, stating that Daozi had always been by his side.
However, the letter pointed out that Zhang Ying mysteriously disappeared in Qingchuan Prefecture for more than half a month, and no one found any trace of her.
The assassination of a Grandmaster within the Great Dao Sect has caused an increasingly heated uproar.
After visiting Shangguan Feihe, Zhang Rongfang secluded himself to cultivate himself and remained aloof from worldly affairs.
Early March.
The Snow Rainbow Pavilion, True One Sect, Xizong Western Sect, Black Ten Sect formed Special Envoy Team to go to Qingchuan Prefecture to investigate the matter of restraint in Worship God.
The Great Dao Sect declined to participate in the investigation to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Zhang Rongfang, as Daozi, personally came out to greet them.
Qingchuan Prefecture Restaurant – Brocade Goodness Hall.
The tables Upper Capital all four sides were laden with a variety of colorful dishes.
The special envoys consisted of five people, led by a Fierce General from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion, with each of the other forces sending one Ginseng. Finally, a Fire Messenger from the Ling Ting supervised the process.
The Fierce General the team was an old acquaintance Zhang Rongfang recognized.
"General Zhou Yan, it's been a long time. I never expected to meet you again under these circumstances," Zhang Rongfang greeted him with clasped hands.
"I didn't expect this either." Zhou Yan looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression.
The sounds of string and wind instruments filled the air, and beautiful women danced and sang softly.
But his attention was completely focused on Zhang Ying in front of him.
"This investigation is really just a formality, and Daozi doesn't need to worry about it. It's obvious that someone is framing him," he added calmly.
"With General Zhou's words, I am relieved," Zhang Rongfang with a smile and a nod.
He already knew that he couldn't hide what had happened before.
Some people used his situation to attack Master Yue, hoping that Master Yue would protect them, which led to the Great Dao Sect being attacked by many Worship God forces.
If Master Yue doesn't protect him, then the Great Dao Sect will also lose a top-tier Daoist Daozi. That would also be a huge loss.
The best way now is to just muddle through.
Therefore, General Zhou's arrival was only natural.
In other words, General Zhou is one of their own people sent by the Snow Rainbow Pavilion.
Zhang Rongfang understood.
"Speaking of which, Zhang Ying Daozi's talent is also unprecedented. To be able to enter the Nascent Soul Late Stage at this age and still have Super Grade cultivation level is truly extraordinary! No wonder Yue Sect Leader is so concerned."
On the other side, an envoy dressed in a Daoist robe spoke with a slightly mocking expression.
This person is a representative of the True One Sect, Daoist Cong Shan. The True One suffered heavy losses, with three of the Ming Mountain Five Sons killed by Yue Dewen. His sarcastic tone is therefore quite normal.
"Dao Child Zhang Daozi is exceptionally talented; it would be mediocre if he didn't attract envy. Cong Shan, what you're saying is rather unpleasant to hear," another monk with drooping ears, wearing Purple Gold Kasaya, said with a smile.
This person was named Yuan Cheng, a top expert of the Yuan Generation within the Western Sect True Buddha Temple.
He is considered to be of the same generation as the current Abbot, Master Yuan.
He is also the most senior member of this group.
"Could you seniors please tell me how to begin the investigation?" Zhang Rongfang changed the subject. He had killed many experts from the Western Sect, so it seemed that the visitors were up to no good. "It's actually very simple." Zhou Yan smiled. "Although we are only here to go through the motions, we still need to go through the proper formalities."
He paused.
"Therefore, from today onwards, Daozi will be completely isolated and investigated with us. You are not allowed to have any communication with the outside world. We will release you once we have investigated and found out the truth."
