The White-Bearded Elder Offers Some Guidance

Looking at Lü Dongbin, Old Iron Crutch's doubts deepened.

Who exactly is this person? How could they have such a powerful background?

He was actually an enemy of Daluo Golden Immortal.

However, Old Iron Crutch did not ask, because he knew that he had no right to ask about it.

"You're right, your situation is indeed very bad right now," Lü Dongbin said.

"How did you know?" Old Iron Crutch asked.

"Your injuries are too severe. If I'm not mistaken, you've been seriously wounded," Lü Dongbin said. "I left my mark inside you before. Now, with your injuries so severe, you'll probably die soon. If you stay here any longer, you'll likely die. I advise you to give up resistance immediately and surrender obediently, and I might spare your life."

Upon hearing Lü Dongbin's words, Old Iron Crutch was immediately stunned.

He never expected that the young man in front of him would know so much about his identity.

"What? Don't you believe me?" Seeing Old Iron Crutch staring blankly at him, Lü Dongbin's face immediately darkened.

"No, of course I believe you, of course I believe you!" Old Iron Crutch quickly said, "Daoist Master, I misspoke earlier. You are not me, you are my master. I, Old Iron Crutch, will forever remember your kindness to our Zhang Household!"

"Then get out of here! Don't waste my time!" Lü Dongbin said. "If you don't leave now, I'll kill you myself. I've already offended Zhang Hu, so I don't mind killing a few more members of the Zhang Household."

"I know you wouldn't dare kill me," Old Iron Crutch quickly said. "However, if you're unwilling to come with us to the Nine Bends Cave Abode, then neither of us can enter, and you don't need to waste your time here with me."

"Alright, since you want me to go with you, then of course I won't refuse." After saying that, Lü Dongbin took the lead and walked forward.

Seeing this, Old Iron Crutch was secretly pleased.

He was initially worried that Lü Dongbin wouldn't be willing to go to the Nine Bends Cave Abode with them, since that Nine Bends Cave Abode was a very dangerous place.

Now that Lü Dongbin has agreed to go with them, they have an extra helper, making it much easier for them to find that Daluo Golden Immortal.

And so the four of them continued walking forward.

After walking a short distance, Lü Dongbin stopped.

He turned to Old Iron Crutch and said, "Alright, you wait here for us. Once your injuries have healed, you can come with us to find the lair of that Daluo Golden Immortal!"

"Alright!" Upon hearing Lü Dongbin's words, Old Iron Crutch quickly replied, "I'll wait for you here, Daoist Master!"

"Hmm." Lü Dongbin nodded lightly, then turned around and continued walking forward with Zhang Yue'e.

Watching Lü Dongbin's departing figure, Old Iron Crutch couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy.

Such a powerful expert is actually the disciple of that female demon. This world is truly insane.

Just as Old Iron Crutch was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, atop a distant giant mountain, a burly man with white hair and beard, a full beard, sat cross-legged in the void, quietly meditating and cultivating.

Around him, streaks of purple lightning danced in the air, constantly bombarding his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of thunderous explosions resounded through the air, the sound waves rolling like a tsunami.

These booming sounds, like thunderclaps, continuously bombarded the body of the white-bearded, white-haired old man.

The white-bearded, white-haired old man remained expressionless, as if he felt no pain, and continued to sit cross-legged in meditation.

After three days and three nights, the white-bearded, white-haired old man finally opened his eyes and revealed a bright smile.

He slowly stood up and glanced around at his surroundings.

He reached out and grabbed, and a purplish-red gourd appeared out of thin air in his hand. He looked up and shouted, and a booming sound immediately came from the gourd. The gourd mouth churned and produced hundreds of purplish-red lightning bolts, which continuously bombarded his body.

Boom boom boom boom!

Each bolt of lightning that struck his body caused his skin to split open, and blood to gush out continuously.

However, he didn't care at all. No matter how the lightning struck his body, he remained calm, as if the lightning didn't exist at all.

"Whoosh!"

As the purple lightning inside the gourd was continuously absorbed, a tremendous force of attraction was released from the gourd's mouth, forming tornadoes that swept across a radius of a thousand meters in an instant, sucking in all the nearby trees and rocks.

In the blink of an eye, all the plants and rocks within a radius of a kilometer turned into dust and vanished.

"Hahahaha!" The white-bearded, white-haired old man laughed loudly, "As expected of the Divine Artifact of the Purple Firmament Palace, its power is truly astonishing. In such a short time, my injuries have already healed."

After he finished speaking, the white-bearded, white-haired old man's gaze fell on the Old Iron Crutch once again.

"Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise," said the white-bearded, white-haired old man. "Your Zhang Household members are already waiting for you outside."

"Oh?" Upon hearing the white-bearded, white-haired old man's words, Old Iron Crutch raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes. "Daoist Master, shall we set off now?"

"Let's set off now," said the white-bearded, white-haired old man. "Remember this: if you dare to play any tricks, and I kill you, then that little girl in your Lineage will be in big trouble."

"Don't worry, Daoist Master, I won't play any tricks," Old Iron Crutch quickly said.

After listening to Old Iron Crutch's words, the white-bearded and white-haired old man nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he vanished in a flash.

Seeing the white-bearded, white-haired old man disappear before his eyes, Old Iron Crutch hurriedly urged his body forward, rushing after the white-bearded, white-haired old man.

However, after they left, Old Iron Crutch stopped and turned to look at Zhang Yue'e.

"Let's find a place to hide for a while first, and I'll contact you again once my injuries have healed," Old Iron Crutch said to Zhang Yue'e.

After listening to Old Iron Crutch's words, Zhang Yue'e hesitated for a moment before nodding.

She is currently seriously injured, and her injuries have not yet fully healed. If she were to go with Old Iron Crutch to see the Daluo Golden Immortal, she might expose her identity.

Although she was prepared, she did not want the Zhang Household family members to know, because she did not want them to know that she already knew their identities.
