There Was Always a Higher Mountain; Master Hadn't Even Waved His Hand Before It Was All Over

"This..."

Recalling the crisp slap he had just heard, Lu Changzhi fell into deep thought.

"Wait, what exactly is their strength?"

Even Lu Changzhi was starting to lose his composure.

I thought the countdown just now was some big surprise they were planning.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the countdown to our face-to-face meeting?

What kind of power does it take to get things done to this extent?

Perhaps sensing, or perhaps guessing, Lu Changzhi's shock, the voice that first appeared in his bloodline spoke again:

"Grandson, don't get agitated."

"The old man just happened to live near that guy and wanted to show off in front of you. He's not that great. You'll realize it's nothing once you get to that point."

"However, your growth has truly exceeded expectations. Keep up the good work and maintain this momentum; you're likely to surpass your father soon."

"Alright, that's enough. This version of the bloodline is still a bit harmful to the body, but there's no danger now, so I'll be going."

He spoke quickly and rapidly.

Before Lu Changzhi could ask anything, the blood in his body once again solidified into a single mass, and the aura disappeared.

It disappeared along with it.

And Lu Changzhi's physical strength.

After strenuous activity, people inevitably feel completely drained.

This time, the feeling of being hollowed out is extremely intense.

The sudden loss of power nearly caused Lu Changzhi to stumble, but fortunately, he managed to hold on.

After regaining his balance in one breath, Lu Changzhi slowly sat down.

"This grandfather's generation is no ordinary person, but the amount of energy they expends is truly staggering..."

As he sat down, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but recall everything that had just happened, still feeling a sense of déjà vu.

The crisis came in a flash, and then vanished just as quickly.

It seems like they've come, but it also seems like they haven't.

I participated, yet it seems I didn't.

That unbelievable door-to-door service, that countdown-like efficiency, it's just...

At this moment.

In mid-air, the White Tiger Token suddenly changed.

The blood-red light on it disappeared, and a moment later, it transformed into a beam of light and flew straight towards Qin Li.

Brush.

A soft sound.

The White Tiger Token transformed into light and entered Qin Li's body.

At the same time, a flood of information rushed into Qin Li's mind.

After a brief inquiry, Qin Li felt a sense of realization:

No wonder.

So many questions from my past life have been answered in this moment.

No wonder the White Tiger Clan was so weak, and no wonder the White Tiger Clan Chief was so enthusiastic after learning that he possessed the White Tiger Bloodline.

It turns out that the enthusiasm wasn't fake, and the act of providing resources and letting oneself try out the White Tiger Token wasn't fake either.

The key to all of this lies in the information mentioned in this White Tiger Token —information that was unknown back then.

There was once a man who, wielding a sword, suppressed the entire White Tiger Clan White Tiger Clan, forcing them to compromise.

The innermost part of this token seals away any possibility of the White Tiger Clan's resurgence.

The White Tiger Clan can take it back.

However, the condition is that one of their descendants must be assisted until the White Tiger Clan becomes powerful enough to pose no threat to them.

If he fails to do so, or breaks the agreement, he will no longer hold back.

"No wonder the White Tiger Clan wasn't very popular even among the sacred beasts in my previous life."

Qin Li understood. For most of the self-proclaimed superior sacred beasts, this was clearly a great humiliation.

"To force the White Tiger Clan to make such a compromise, their strength must already be quite formidable."

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; though the sacred beast is not as powerful as it once was, it is still extraordinary nonetheless.

Within the same realm, each sacred beast has its own advantages.

Not to mention the idea of one person suppressing an entire clan.

And.

The will that had just descended was probably many times stronger than it had been back then.

"It seems that it was indeed a lucky thing that I didn't perish at that moment in my previous life."

Having understood the opponent's strength level, Qin Li felt relieved.

You should know that in her previous life, she didn't even have the strength to take on the White Tiger Clan Chief in a one-on-one fight.

"But."

Qin Li slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Changzhi, who was sitting in the chair without much of a ripple.

"My greatest fortune must be meeting my master in this life."

There is always a higher mountain than the one above.

Despite the terrifying force that had just struck, Master was completely unharmed and ended it all without even waving his hand.

If the other party hadn't been subdued by their master, how could they possibly have come to control this White Tiger Token now?

"Thank you, Master."

Qin Li took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi nodded and said:

"Practice diligently."

Qin Li nodded, then said something and got up to leave.

Luo Ling'er and Jin Fugui also spoke up, preparing to leave.

"Oh, right."

Upon hearing Jin Fugui's words, Lu Changzhi seemed to realize something and offered a reminder:

"Plant this seed on the land belonging to the Shen Clan first, don't plant it on Hidden Origin Peak."

Jin Fugui nodded in agreement, and then Lu Changzhi remained.

Call.

Lu Changzhi let out a soft breath and just laid the recliner flat.

"Changzhi."

Liang Si's figure flashed and arrived:

"What just happened, was it related to you?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi nodded.

Liang Si's gaze narrowed slightly:

"They seem to have ill intentions?"

"It's not a good thing." Lu Changzhi nodded.

"But it's all been resolved."

"Resolved?" Liang Si stared at Lu Changzhi suspiciously:

"That aura just now was extraordinary. The elders here almost lost their composure. What methods did you use, kid?"

"It wasn't me." Lu Changzhi shook his head with a smile, pointing to his chest:

"He called me 'grandson' and then helped me solve it."

"Call me your grandson..." Liang Si said, his eyes suddenly widening as he stared at Lu Changzhi as if he'd seen a ghost.

"You've improved so quickly, kid?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, looking at Liang Si with a hint of uncertainty in his expression:

"I suspect you're using this method to probe our intelligence?"

"Whether I touch it or not." Liang Si shook his head, looking at Lu Changzhi with a hint of disbelief on his face.

"The more you cultivate, the faster you progress. This bloodline is about to blossom in your generation."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:

"To be honest, haven't the bloodlines been quite extensive and numerous in previous generations?"

Liang Si paused for a moment, then asked in return:

"Though the branches and leaves may grow lush and verdant, they ultimately do not bear fruit, do they?"

Seeing that Liang Si did not answer, Lu Changzhi did not press further, but nodded:

"That's true."

At this moment, Liang Si raised his hand and tossed over a small gourd, saying:

"Have some drink. I just used my blood energy and I'm almost trembling with weakness. I'll head back now."

After saying that, Liang Si disappeared.

Thump~

The lid was opened, and a delicate fragrance wafted out. Lu Changzhi took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

After a few breaths, I lay down and went to sleep.

Somewhere.

The gate stood Jingjing on the ground, surrounded by broken walls and ruins.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

The man patted the blushing Sima Qingyun on the shoulder with satisfaction, then walked away into the distance.

Two steps forward, and a hundred feet away.

The old man paused.

The next moment, power surged from within his body.

Boom!

The figure exploded, but it didn't cause much damage, only creating a gust of wind.

A strong wind blew by, and the door crashed down with a loud bang.

Sima Qingyun stared intently into the distance, his lips twitching violently, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

"A clone... a doppelganger?!"
