Aura I

On the high and Human Immortal Platform, Qing Su, Zhang Zhenhai, Chang Yuqing, and Ding Yu were paired up and engaged in a fierce battle of wits and moves.

Of the four, Qing Su is the weakest, currently only Super Grade External Medicine. This was only achieved with the blessing of her Blood Descendant.

The strongest one was actually Ding Yu.

After returning to raise pigs for a year, this guy's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and thanks to the powerful regenerative abilities of his Blood Descendant, his mind slowly recovered.

Compared to before, he is now much more composed, and there is almost no sign of impulsiveness or emotionality on his face.

His moves are steady and controlled, demonstrating exceptional skill.

Zhang Rongfang stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching the game.

Each of the four characters had a row of Attribute Panel appearing Upper Capital. But these weren't the key points. The key point was the timing of utilizing the +1 Enemy Anticipation, which also became apparent at this moment.

With a single glance, he could see what one of them might do next.

This is the true application of the Enemy Anticipation +1" strategy.

It is possible to detect and predict the opponent's move one second before they make it.

'This prediction seems similar to before, but it doesn't require familiarity with the opponent's martial arts. It's a strange ability, almost like martial arts precognition. It makes absolutely no sense.'

After a year of research, Zhang Rongfang discovered that the +1 effect of "Enemy Anticipation" had transcended its previous level. Instead of slowly familiarizing himself with the opponent's martial arts moves, he could now know what the opponent was going to do a second in advance.

This effect is extremely terrifying.

However, there are limitations; if the opponent Enemy Anticipation in attacking, it will not be effective. For example, when he went to spar with Di Jiang later, it was still useless.

When he came to his senses, the four people in front of him had already finished their rehearsal.

Clap clap clap clap

Zhang Rongfang clapped his hands gently.

"Very good, all four of you have made great progress. There are just a few things you need to pay attention to."

He then gave his comments on each of the four individuals.

With Zhang Rongfang's current martial arts skills and combat experience, dealing with several Super Grade martial artists would be a piece of cake.

The martial arts examination was completed soon.

Next came the various official matters of the Human Immortal Temple.

"Master, the Confucian Sect in the city is becoming increasingly active. This time, they sent people to contact us, saying they hope to have a face-to-face exchange with you," Qing Su reported.

"The Righteous Lineage Confucian Sect?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"Exactly. They're becoming increasingly open about their actions. They had a significant conflict with the Academy's forces a few months ago, but it seems they've reached an agreement now. It seems they're preparing for something," Qing Su replied.

"That's true. Recently, during our surveillance, we've noticed that many experts from the Righteous Lineage have been appearing out of nowhere, leaving Wushan Prefecture together. We don't know what they're up to," Zhang Zhenhai added from the side.

"What about the rest of the Blood Descendant?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"After you issued the ban, they all went quiet and disappeared without a trace," Zhang Zhenhai replied.

She glanced at Zhang Rongfang and continued, "Previously, the Western Sect approached Heavenly Sincerity Palace to question them about matters here, but the Great Dao Sect suppressed the matter. Now, things have calmed down considerably regarding the Sea Dragon. The Abbot mentioned earlier the matter of strangling the Sea Dragon."

"It can be done now," Zhang Rongfang replied. "Master Yue is showing me with his actions that I can do it."

"You mean...?" Ding Yu trembled violently.

"Since they've dared to bully us so openly, if we don't retaliate, even more forces will come to oppress my Human Immortal Temple at will. So," a cold glint flashed in Zhang Rongfang's eyes, "You've all been preparing for this long enough. Which of the Daoist Registry hasn't returned yet?"

Previously, Sea Dragon, Imperial Clan Divine General, the Academy, and Spirit Noble joined forces to besiege and kill him. If he didn't retaliate, would they really think he had a good temper?

Now, a year later, he has truly and thoroughly solidified his status as Great Grandmaster.

Especially the spiritual and willpower field. This kind of mysterious and profound grasp of the energy in combat is extremely difficult to improve. It is only because Di Jiang, who has the Reverse Time Society, can always find someone to spar with in the same place.

Now this shortcoming has been addressed.

Of course, what gives Zhang Rongfang the most confidence is the Attribute Points he has accumulated over the past year.

And, the Reverse Time Society.

The Reverse Time Society sent someone beforehand and had a long talk with him. It was all for the sake of this operation.

The fundamental reason for the action was the deaths of a Spirit General and a mountain chief from the previous incident.

I thought the Academy had given up long ago, but I didn't expect it to have been holding back all along. This time, it's going to seize the opportunity and probably lead to a big battle.

After their conversation, some of the four were worried, while others were excited.

"This time, Non-Self acting alone. The seniors of the Reverse Time Society are also carrying out a major operation. This time, it is aimed at the Western Sect," Zhang Rongfang revealed again.

Over the course of a year, his relationship with the Reverse Time Society deepened. Both sides viewed Gods and Buddhas as adversaries, and with a shared hatred of the enemy, they naturally grew closer.

Aside from the most mysterious president, he had already met all the other high-ranking members of the Reverse Time Society.

"Yes!" The four understood, and a sense of excitement rose within them.

After being hidden for so long, the Human Immortal Temple is finally going to show its true colors to everyone.

"Master, may I ask when the operation will take place?" Chang Yuqing asked.

She was the only Spirit Person in the temple, and although she had been Spirit Person, her feelings were still somewhat complicated.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a coordinated action by everyone," Zhang Rongfang replied with a smile.

He emphasized the word "everyone".

Chang Yuqing seemed to understand something.

By the time she had sorted out her thoughts and came back to her senses, Zhang Rongfang was no longer there.

"Go and contact the first-generation Blood Descendant Daoists. Ten days later, the top fifty will come with me to Ming Wu Mountain."

A voice drifted from afar on the wind.

Chang Yuqing looked up at the misty edge of the Human Immortal Platform and understood.

The current abbot has finally made up his mind to stand with the Rebel Alliance.

The last siege made him truly understand that the Human Immortal Temple was destined to be at odds with many other sects.

Even Yue Dewen couldn't possibly provide comprehensive protection and care for this area.

Therefore, *** Wushan Prefecture.

Compared to Wu Mountain a year ago, the city has expanded considerably, resembling an obese person who has gained weight, with dozens of residential blocks and market districts added to its perimeter.

In front of the Mu Chi Prefecture.

At this moment, Zhang Rongfang, dressed in casual clothes, stood in front of the door, looking at the plaque that was being replaced.

It has been two months since my last visit.

Since understanding his sister's feelings, he has come here less and less.

Initially, he came to Wushan Prefecture to live in seclusion in order to take care of his sister's family, but now... "Oh my, it's Young Master Rongfang back!" The gatekeeper on duty recognized Zhang Rongfang's identity from afar at a glance and hurriedly came to greet him.

The doorman was quite old, around forty years old, and when he saw Zhang Rongfang, he smiled genuinely.

For no other reason than that Zhang Rongfang was the one who was usually the most lenient with the servants and guards.

He was never arrogant, always treated everyone as equals, and patiently listened to people finish speaking. This subconscious respect was what many guards and doormen valued most.

"Oh, it's Old Lu. The plaque was fine, why are you taking it down again?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"Rong Fang, you don't know? Your master has been promoted! This time he's preparing to move here to Rong Prefecture to serve as the Magistrate," the gatekeeper Old Lu, replied.

"Really?" Zhang Rongfang recalled that he had been in seclusion recently and hadn't seen any news from his brother-in-law for a long time. He suddenly realized.

"And what about Madam? Is she at the manor?" he asked.

"Madam went out to enjoy the garden with two friends," Old Lu said. "Young Master Rongfang, you don't know, but last month, all the servants in the manor were replaced. Now, the people who come are all incredibly powerful figures, much more so than before. Just looking at them from afar, you can feel their overwhelming presence!"

As a doorman, his eyesight was impeccable, but he wasn't very literate and didn't know how to use adjectives when speaking. He only knew how to describe degree in simple terms.

"Is that so?" Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes.

He naturally knew what was going on.

Since my nephew recovered and displayed terrifying talent, the Confucian Sect has sent many highly skilled martial artists to protect him.

This time, they've openly intervened.

This suggests that his nephew, Zhang Huanqing, has been recognized by them.

"Let's go in and take a look," Zhang Rongfang said.

"Please come in!" Old Lu quickly led the way with a smile.

The two passed through the main gate and walked along the blue-and-white stone slabs all the way inside.

They soon arrived at the Inner Courtyard. Old Lu couldn't go in, so he changed into a young, skilled fighter dressed in gray and white, with a White Jade pendant hanging from his waist, to lead the way.

Zhang Rongfang didn't wander off, but walked straight toward his nephew Zhang Huanqing's courtyard.

In the courtyard, Zhang Huanqing was engrossed in tracing the calligraphy of famous masters with a small brush.

He had grown considerably older than he had a year ago. He looked like a five or six-year-old boy.

In addition, with his dark blue robe and white headscarf, he already exuded a subtle aura of power.

"Your uncle is here." The black-haired old man who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and said softly.

"Uncle?" Little Huan Qing paused, his pen still. "I don't want to see him. Grandpa Meng, could you please get rid of him?"

Recalling the miserable experience of being unconscious for so long, he still felt a strange sense of unease.

"Are you sure?" The old man glanced at him indifferently.

"I'm sure." Little Huan Qing said seriously, "I'm different now. Didn't you say that after gaining the Sword Bell's recognition, I would be the true successor?"

"So what?" The old man's expression remained unchanged.

"Therefore, I don't want to see him. Besides, he's a High Grade martial artist, yet he dared to attack me back then. Don't you always say, 'Repay evil with kindness,' how will you repay kindness?"

So I'd really appreciate it if you could help me teach him a lesson. I still remember what happened back then,"Little Huan Qing said earnestly.

The old man looked at him, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

At this point, Little Huan Qing was indeed no longer as violent as before, and he knew how to arm himself with reason and maintain the legitimacy of his actions.

This is quite remarkable for a two-year-old child.

Many children this age probably can't even speak clearly.

"Although it's not quite right, I'll help you this time."

"Thank you, teacher!" Little Huan Qing was overjoyed, but he kept his expression steady and did not show any great joy.

The old man stood up, dusted off his hem, and turned to walk towards the gate leading to the courtyard.

Just then, Zhang Rongfang approached step by step from outside.

The two met at the doorway.
