Chapter 316: Different Ways, Don’t Conspire with Each Other
There was no suspense in the rescue process. At 7:30 in the evening, Lu Jin sent Er Zhuang back to the company branch. Gao Lian's heart finally settled down, and he was so excited that he thanked him incoherently.

"Thank you, Mr. Lulu."

"Thank you, Senior Jiang!!"

Gao Lian choked up and hugged his weak daughter tightly. His mood went up and down throughout the day, and it was very painful.

"I'd like to ask the immortals in your hall to keep an eye on it. The traitor has not been cleared out yet, so it's not safe now."

"Yes, you are very considerate."

After being reminded by him, Gao Lian was very nervous and asked:

"Mr. Lu, could you please escort my father and daughter?"

"Let's go."

Lu Jin did not refuse the younger generation's request.

During the years when he was in charge of the Lu family, Gao Lian would often come to visit with his father. The two could be considered old acquaintances, so he was naturally willing to help with this small favor.

Ten minutes later, a group of black cars drove out of the gate of the company branch and sped away. Their destination was the immortal temple worshipped by the Gao family.

At the Nadutong headquarters, all the directors breathed a sigh of relief when they received Gao Lian's news. Suddenly they felt terrified that the hostage had been taken overseas. It was just one step away.

Zhao Fangxu asked Gao Lian to guard Er Zhuang and guard against other possible insiders in the company to launch attacks. Before his own camp was cleared out, Er Zhuang's safety was the top priority.

At the same time, temporary workers on the front line also sent messages.

The tunnel that had existed underground for a long time was found. It had so many branches that it was outrageous. Currently, there were eighty-one branches, and there were far more than that. It was interconnected and as complex as a maze.

"Search every inch of it thoroughly. The overseas entrance must be blocked;"

"No mistakes!"

The board of directors directly issued an order to mobilize all available resources to blockade the underground tunnel.

Due to the different time zones, it is still daytime here on North Kolai Island and it is almost noon.

A silver-white figure suddenly appeared in the void. Jiang Mo looked down at the entire island, seeming to be thinking about something.

"rise."

The next moment, he activated the Ten Directions Gu in his body and set up a barrier.

Across a distance of hundreds of thousands of meters, red Qi like a cage appeared around the entire island, constantly condensing into a barrier, isolating the North Kolai Island, which was short of food resources, from the outside world, and even the beach could not be set foot on.

"."

After doing all this, Jiang Mo felt that it was not enough, so he performed a secret technique. As he raised his right hand, the void roared, and a huge white vortex was born. It was a wonderful effect he had gained based on the principle of "the human world is so close".

One hand reaches into the vortex, spanning thousands of miles;
A corresponding giant hand appeared in the sky above the Trinity Gate, covering the sky for hundreds of meters.

In a moment, three shadows seemed to be inspired and soared into the sky. They were the Xuanyan Iron Guards who were responsible for guarding the mountain gate. They disappeared into the white vortex in an instant.

Jiang Mo, who was in Beikelai, placed three humanoid killing weapons on the island to prevent them from getting out of control.

soon.

The kingdom of heaven was opened, and Lu Ci walked out, looking as if he was still unsatisfied. His hands were covered in sticky blood. Holding a boning knife, he used the ancestral skill of the jailer to torture prisoners without reservation.

"how?"

"Ask clearly."

Lu Ci squatted down and scooped a handful of sea water from a nearby pit to wash his hands. While rubbing his hands, he reported:
"They are not as tough as you might think. The leader is Watanabe Mano from one of the three major secret cultivation families in Japan."

"Unlike the Biheren who have been used as slave tools their entire lives, they are both powerful and capable and should not be underestimated. In the past, especially during turbulent times, many dignitaries and even those in power needed to rely on them to survive."

"This time, the plan was leaked by a company insider who contacted the Watanabe family for cooperation."

"At present, the Japanese and other secret cultivation families do not know the true identity of the target they captured this time. It is probably just that there are informants watching them and know that they have taken action."

"Most of the guys you detained are the elite of the Watanabe family. They are one of the main branches of the Eastern aliens. They are born with the supernatural power of the Spirit Mirror, which has the ability to seal or shatter all tangible life in the mirror. It is passed down through their bloodlines, and there are also cultivation scriptures passed down within the clan to help them continuously improve."

"The other Higashi-nin are the last remnants from the East. Their new Majin and main force were dealt with by me some time ago."

Hearing this, Jiang Mo had a general understanding. In the ancient books he had read in the past, there were many descriptions of the Eastern cultivation system.

In addition to the well-known ninjas, sorcerers, and swordsmen, there are also some more evil and bizarre people, such as onmyojis, sorcerers, secret practitioners, temple monks, etc.

"Their communication equipment, as well as the Watanabe family's unique Yin-Yang Spirit Pendant, a magical tool that can establish spiritual communication, were all destroyed by me." Lu Ci shook his hands and stood up. Noticing the red screens that blocked the sky around him, it was not difficult to guess Jiang Mo's intentions. He smiled lightly and said:
"Are you going to exile those beasts here?"

"Ah."

Jiang Mo opened the kingdom of heaven again, and a vortex bloomed. The dense and embarrassed figures were all released by him. The chains of the Nine Evils' Yin Qi that bound their limbs were still there.

Watanabe Mano and several powerful secret practitioners of the family were tortured to the point of being on the verge of death. There were bloody holes all over their bodies, and broken veins and white bones were visible. Their faces were even more horrifying, as their facial features disappeared out of thin air, leaving only abrupt faces.

The pores of the skin have been enlarged countless times to allow for breathing and survival, and the densely packed holes look particularly creepy.

That was Lu Ci's masterpiece of Red Hand. Without harming the lives of the captives, he wiped out their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears, making them unable to speak, hear, smell, or see, and their consciousness was trapped in silent darkness.

The Bihei ninjas and the strange people of the Watanabe family who escaped from the starry sky cage were all terrified. When they saw Lu Ci, they were as if they had seen a ghost. This perverted executioner was so cruel that his methods were simply chilling.

Just now in heaven, they had witnessed a stubborn companion being tortured alive by Lu Ci, with his flesh gouged out and bones cut. Then Lu Ci rescued him and tortured him repeatedly without even interrogating him. He was tortured to vent his selfish desires, and even suicide was a plundered and unattainable luxury.

At this moment, those Japanese aliens were more afraid of Lu Ci than Jiang Mo. One would give them a quick and comfortable death, while the other would make their life worse than death, like going through purgatory.

Their bodies were bound with pitch-black chains, and they could not move. Cold sweat dripped down their cheeks, their breathing became rapid, their hearts were pounding, their pupils were filled with fear, and their brains were confused and blank.

"roll."

Jiang Mo's eyes swept down, and the chain broke.

Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned, and their stiff bodies regained some consciousness. They fled in panic, taking the head of the family and several seriously injured senior executives with them, and soon disappeared from the island.

"Master Jiang, when does the trial you arranged start? Can I bring a junior with me?"

"It's just these two days. Just don't feel bad if he dies."

Seeing him nod in agreement, Lu Ci laughed:
"How can this be possible? True gold is not afraid of fire, not to mention that these Japanese bastards all have injuries on their bodies."

"If the child of my Lu family is killed so easily, wouldn't it be even more fatal for him to inherit the family business after I am buried? It is better to test him as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, I can choose another one to train."

night.

After returning to the sect, Jiang Mo summoned Cheng Zhen, Lu Jin, and Chang Qing to have a discussion. He also invited core members of the sect, such as Si Chong, Shui Yun, and Li Qing, who were traveling outside, to discuss and decide on the trial.

"I always have a bad feeling, but I can't tell what it is."

"Maybe the world will change someday. While there is still time, I want to train the young people in my sect. What do you think?"

As soon as Jiang Mo finished speaking, Chang Qing said:
"You are worried that the disciples in the sect have lacked practical training over the years. If jade is not polished, it will not be made into a useful tool. In my opinion, this thing can be accomplished."

"Uncle Master, then let's do as you say."

Cheng Zhen agreed, paused, and thought:
"Jun Ze and Mu Ci can skip this trip. With their skills, it's easy for them to deal with those bandits."

"Training is meaningless to them. It would be better to let them secretly monitor the trial to prevent any accidents. As for Lin'er, she can go and hone herself."

Everyone had no objection and quickly made a decision.

Jiang Mo turned his head and talked to Cheng Zhen again: "How many disciples in the sect meet the requirements now? How many are outside?"

"Reporting to Uncle Master, there are 3 people in the sect who have not yet reached the Great Completion of the Second Stage, and 27 outside, which is exactly 30 people. However, the latter 27 people may have relatives or careers, and are bound by various worldly constraints, so I am afraid they cannot spare the time."

"I will inform you that those who can come back will come back. Those who cannot come back will be expelled. They can still maintain their master-disciple relationship with the master in the sect, but they just don't need to rely on the protection of the sect and enjoy the flattery of the world outside."

"Tell them clearly that this trial will not have the protection of the teacher and will be very risky. Give them three hours to respond."

Jiang Mo's attitude was particularly firm, so Cheng Zhen and other fellow disciples immediately set about handling the matter.

In less than half an hour, all the replies were received. There were only four secular disciples willing to take part in the trial. When presenting the results, Cheng Zhen found it difficult to guess how his uncle felt.

Will it be disappointment?
Still helpless?

Blame?
However, Jiang Mo was very calm and showed no emotional fluctuations.

These younger generations had such little interaction with him that they were like strangers. Moreover, time would change many things. Jiang Mo could understand the decisions they made in a comfortable environment, but he did not care.

Finally, seven people were selected to participate in the trial, plus a younger generation from the Lu family.

Seeing that there was still a vacancy, Lu Jin brought up the question he had wanted to ask earlier:
"Brother, uncle, can you let my daughter Linglong go and hone her skills as well? Also, since we are all young people, should we inform the old friends in the Tianshi Mansion?"

"Okay, go ahead and ask. Just limit the number to four." Jiang Mo agreed.

Cheng Zhen also met Junior Brother Lu's gaze, smiled and nodded: "Yes."
