Chapter 48 The Devil’s Invitation

Zhang Jingqing was a little confused. He had been good friends with Zuo Rutong all his life and was familiar with the Sanyi Sect's third level of reverse rebirth, but he had never known that their sect also knew how to control heavenly thunder.

Moreover, with Zuo Rutong's broad mind and straightforwardness, he would certainly not hide the fact that it is similar to the thunder method of Longhu Mountain, and there is even a possibility that he would discuss it.

The Trinity Sect in all generations has never been proficient in thunder magic or thunder talismans, so the only possibility is obvious.

"Perhaps it was arranged by Uncle Lu Jin?"

Tian Jinzhong boldly guessed that he also had good friends in the Sanyi Sect. Combined with the information he had collected, apart from this suspected candidate, there were no other people who might be able to use Lei Fa and help the Sanyi Sect.

"Well, it's possible."

Zhang Jingqing's brows relaxed slightly, and the worries in his heart were reduced. He looked at Zhang Zhiwei again and praised with satisfaction:

"You really came in time this time and killed the demon. You also knew your limits and didn't force your way through the mountain gate and offend others."

"Master, I will remember your teachings from the Lu family incident."

"However, if there is a chance, I really want to talk to them and try out the mountain protection method."

Zhang Zhiwei accidentally revealed what was in his mind.

"Hmm?" Zhang Jingqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Seeing his master's increasingly majestic demeanor and his sandbag-sized fist placed next to the tea table, Zhang Zhiwei quickly shut up.

"Uh, Master, you heard it wrong, no, really not."

"Grumpy."

Zhang Jingqing snorted coldly and did not pursue the matter further. He just raised his hand and handed the letter written by Wu Gensheng to the three disciples for review.

"What do you think?"

They came together, their eyes fell on the letter, their pupils dilated slightly, reading the contents, but their expressions were completely different.

"Master, this devil wants us from Longhu Mountain to help contact our friends at Trinity?"

Tian Jinzhong pondered and said, "I think there is a trick. Since they dare to come to Longhu, they must have made preparations in secret and planned to ambush Sanyi's friends and other sects along the way?"

"Ambush? Not necessarily."

Zhang Jingqing shook his head and continued to sip his tea: "Similar letters were sent by Wu Gensheng to Wudang, Shangqing, and Huode Sect."

"He wants to personally end his feud with Sanyi in front of all the major sects and decide life and death through fighting. If he cheats again, how can he stay in the world of good and evil in the future?"

Zhang Zhiwei weighed the pros and cons and said calmly: "I think this is feasible. If the devil really dares to find some monsters to cause trouble, then let's keep them all."

Zhang Jingqing acquiesced to his statement and turned to look at Zhang Huaiyi:
"Wu Huaiyi, what do you think?"

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right. I am willing to follow you, Master. Brother, I will wait for the demon to attack at the foot of the mountain."

"Is it?"

Zhang Jingqing stared at this disciple who always kept a low profile and was restrained, like a thief or a rat.

It was just two words, but at that moment, Zhang Huaiyi read multiple meanings into them.

The terrible feeling of oppression made his heart beat violently. Even if the master did not do anything, just sitting there, the familiar fear would uncontrollably surge into his heart.

What did the master discover?!
The thought seemed to take root and sprout, and no matter how Zhang Huaiyi tried to convince himself, he could not suppress the trembling in his heart.

Exactly the same as that test!
Finally, the pressure exceeded the threshold. Zhang Huaiyi broke out in a cold sweat and said with a stiff upper lip: "Master, I have something to report. Please forgive me."

"Tell me." Zhang Jingqing's eyes were calm, not surprised at all. He saw his disciple's slightly trembling shoulders.

Zhang Huaiyi did not dare to hide anything and confessed everything: "I traveled around before and killed some Quan Xing monsters who were causing trouble in the area with my bare hands."

"I happened to meet this devil. I was not good enough to learn his skills, so I was defeated by him."

"I am ashamed of this fact. I was afraid of being punished, so I didn't dare to tell you." Zhang Jingqing was calm when hearing the tense words: "How strong is that demon?"

“It’s really amazing.”

Seeing that his master was not angry or blaming him, Zhang Huaiyi felt relieved, only to realize that his back was wet with cold sweat.

This brief evaluation immediately made Tian Jinzhong, Zhang Zhiwei and Tianshi look at him in awe.

"Expand and tell me."

Zhang Huaiyi did not dare to refuse his master's request, and continued, "That demon is good at using evil magic. My disciple's golden light was immediately destroyed by it, and no one can get close to him."

"What else?" Zhang Jingqing frowned, having a bad feeling.

"No more, Master." Zhang Huaiyi stood there, waiting for his fate, his mood full of ups and downs.

Tian Jinzhong felt very uncomfortable after hearing this and said in a lost voice: "I never thought that the devil could break the golden light spell."

"It's out of the norm. This world is so big, there are so many extraordinary people, anything that happens is not surprising."

Zhang Jingqing began to worry about the proposal in the letter. The demon's strength was unfathomable and might pose a great threat to Trinity's friends.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhang Zhiwei made the final decision: "Master, don't worry about it."

"As long as the devil dares to come to Longhu Mountain, we have the final say here. Let the friends of Trinity make their choice. We respect their wishes. The contents of this letter must be passed on."

Seeing that what he said made sense, Zhang Jingqing also made up his mind and told Tian Jinzhong:
"Please go to Jinzhong again and try to contact our friends at Sanyi through the inn or the Lu family."

"Okay! Master, I'll set off now." Tian Jinzhong replied.

"Ah."

After he left, Zhang Jingqing looked at the two disciples again, his tone slightly serious:

"It's only these two days. You should prepare well and not miss any of the training you should do. Adjust your condition to the best to prevent the demon from causing trouble."

"Understood, Master."

The two of them spoke in unison, bowed, and left the room one after another.

Deserted temple.

The bonfire burned slowly in the quiet atmosphere, reflecting Li Muxuan's lonely expression. The blood on his forehead had dried up. His dusty hands grabbed the charred pheasant leg and mechanically put it into his mouth.

Old Man Duan on the side sat upright, holding a golden talisman in his hand, covering it with Qi and muttering to himself. Mysterious power spread out like ripples.

At this moment, Wu Gensheng, who had just ended the contact, opened his eyes again. Suddenly, he felt a movement in the palm of his hand, like the touch of ants crawling. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked down.

"My brother and his uncle will never let you go, so take care of yourself!"

Wu Gensheng exerted a little force, and the ink-blue words on his palm disappeared completely.

Li Muxuan looked over here, his lips moving: "Master, I have thought it through. I want to go with you."

"it is good"

Wu Gensheng raised a bitter yet gratified smile and teased Old Man Duan:

"You are really capable. This bad boy didn't listen to my advice and ignored it. I didn't expect that he would be enlightened by you."

The liquid-like golden light gradually dissipated. Old Man Duan put away the talisman and said absentmindedly, "If you don't listen, I'll slap you. This kid is teachable."

"Oh, you really are."

Wu Gensheng scratched his head in shame: "If I had known this would work, I would have tried it too."

Old Man Duan's physical strength and Qi were almost restored to full state. Seeing that the time was almost up, he frowned and asked, "Can we set off?"
