Xia He's hands even glowed with a pinkish light.
Among the Four Madmen, Xia He's abilities are almost irresistible to men.
Perhaps some people can control their greed, cowardice, and anger, but lust is something rooted in human nature; it is the instinctive yearning for inheritance. Only a few can remain unmoved like the Old Master.
"Three of the Four Madmen are gone. If you make a move, I don't mind if there are no more Four Madmen in this world."
Luke's eyes were indifferent, and his Qi suddenly erupted.
A powerful surge of energy, like a raging wave, suddenly erupted from Luke's body, instantly engulfing the entire space.
The intensity of that energy was so great that it seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens and shaking the universe.
Under the impact of this force, cracks began to appear on the ground, spreading and winding like a giant dragon awakening, with dust flying and gravel flying everywhere.
Zhang Lingyu and Xia He were so shocked by this sudden and shocking scene that they retreated one after another. Their faces were extremely pale under the impact of the Qi wave, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
The pink light in Xia He's palm trembled slightly under this powerful energy, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
"I'm not an old master, I'm young and hot-blooded, and I don't know my own strength when I hit someone."
Although Luke had no intention of killing Xia He, it did not mean that Xia He could show any signs of attacking him. Killing a Quanxing demon was no psychological burden for him, even if that Quanxing demon was Zhang Lingyu's lover.
"Brother Lu, Xia He absolutely did not mean that..."
Under Luke's pressure, Zhang Lingyu explained with difficulty.
Luke's lips curled up as he teased, "Weren't you just vehemently denying it? Now you're protecting it. It's a pity the old master didn't see this."
The Celestial Master didn't mind Xia He's identity. He wasn't afraid of making mistakes, as long as she could admit them. At worst, she could atone for her sins. What he disliked most was Zhang Lingyu's unwillingness to admit her inner self.
Not frank at all, very contradictory. The most important thing for a Taoist is sincerity. If a person cannot be sincere to his own heart, then what kind of Tao is he cultivating?
Zhang Lingyu's pale face flushed red again, and he growled, "Brother Lu, don't talk nonsense. Xia He's crime doesn't warrant death."
Luke's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, "Hu Jie and his son did not deserve to die. Although Hu Jie was a playboy, he did not deserve to be killed by his son."
If Zhang Lingyu had said anything else, Luke might not have had any objections, but the words "Xia He's crime doesn't warrant death" really made Luke laugh.
Many people have died because of Xia He, although most of them suffered because they couldn't control their lust.
Even Hu Jie killed his father because he was tormented by the Twelve Labors of Emotion by Monk Yongjue and lost control of his mind.
But to say that Xia He bears no responsibility at all is simply a joke.
Luke doesn't want to meddle in other people's business and is willing to give the old master face by not killing Xia He 3.3, but that doesn't mean he will ignore the facts.
Zhang Lingyu's face turned deathly pale again as she stared at Xia He in disbelief.
Xia He looked sad, but did not refute.
Unlike Zhang Lingyu, Xia He knew what kind of person she was. Even though she was initially powerless and her superpowers influenced her life, even her own father was affected by her powers and had ulterior motives towards her, no one could control her after she joined the Quanxing Sect. She always knew that what she did was wrong, but she just went with the flow and never resisted.
There are roughly these categories of people in the Quanxing sect: those who indulge their desires and do evil, those who are unable to control themselves for various reasons and eventually drift along with the tide.
Of course, there are also those like Ding Shian and Tu Junfang, who voluntarily joined the Quanxing sect but did little or no evil.
Chapter 107: One Person's Perspective: Gong Qing, Acting Leader of Quanxing Sect, Greets Elder Tian!
When the fire broke out at Longhu Mountain, Rong Shan, the ninth disciple of the old Celestial Master who was taking care of Tian Jinzhong, had already been lured away from the mountain by Xiao Yuzi.
There were only three people in the room: Tian Jinzhong, Xiaoyuzi, and Xiaoqingzi.
Looking out the window, Xiao Qingzi asked worriedly, "They wouldn't really destroy the Celestial Master's Mansion, would they?"
Xiao Yuzi, standing beside him, remained calm: "It's alright, they don't have the ability, nor do they intend to destroy the Celestial Master's Mansion."
“Little Yu, I don’t know if they have the ability now, but you can’t be sure if they don’t intend to!” Tian Jinzhong said, “You don’t know, these people simply…”
Before Tian Jinzhong could finish speaking, Xiao Yuzi punched Xiao Qing directly in the face. Caught off guard, Xiao Qing immediately lost consciousness and fainted!
Tian Jinzhong's expression changed drastically: "Xiao Yuzi, you..."
"Of course I know. I told them when I was down the mountain that if they were going to destroy anything, they should focus on destroying the less important places." Xiaoyuzi slowly turned around, her face expressionless. "After all, I've spent three years on the mountain; I've developed an attachment to it!"
Xiao Yuzi cupped his hands in greeting: "Gong Qing, acting head of the 21 sects of Quanxing, greets Elder Tian!"
"you!"
"It can't be that bad," Gong Qing laughed. "Don't you think you know the Quanxing sect's demons very well? Is it surprising that the Quanxing sect leader might come to your Longhu Mountain to be a novice for a few years if he's in the mood?"
"You, you!" Tian Jinzhong stared at Gong Qing in disbelief, somewhat incoherently.
Gong Qing smiled and said, "Let me be frank, I have only one purpose in getting close to you senior figures in this field!"
"I am fascinated by the events of the Jia Shen Rebellion, especially Zhang Huaiyi!"
“Our predecessors in the Quanxing sect suffered at the hands of Zhang Huaiyi, so I chose to infiltrate Longhu Mountain. On the other hand, we are also searching for Zhang Huaiyi everywhere.”
"But in the end, his body was dug up after much searching."
"Of course, you won't tell me that on your own initiative~"
"However, I was lucky. Just when I was about to give up, I actually found a clue, haha~"
"So I've been waiting for an opportunity, like today, to confirm something with you!"
Tian Jinzhong frowned: "What is it?"
Gong Qing slowly walked up to Tian Jinzhong, bent down, and stared at Tian Jinzhong: "Back then, you and Zhang Zhiwei went down the mountain in two separate ways. Few people knew the purpose of your trip down the mountain."
"But I know."
"You're here to find troubled children, Zhang Huaiyi!"
"What I need to confirm is, did you really not see Zhang Huaiyi this time you went down the mountain?"
Tian Jinzhong's pupils dilated: "How did you know about this!"
"On this matter, only Master, Senior Brother, and I know the answer!"
"Only three people know about this," Gong Qing said with some pride. "But deducing it wasn't difficult!"
"Rumor has it that you two went down the mountain to find the traitorous disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion. It goes without saying who this traitorous disciple is."
“I have seen the wounds you were seriously injured in back then. It is clear that they were caused by verbal and physical torture.”
"So, what did they want to ask you when they abducted and tortured you on your way back to the mountain to report?"
"That is naturally the purpose of your descent from the mountain, Zhang Huaiyi!"
"Is my deduction reasonable?"
Tian Jinzhong closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "So, it was all just your guesses."
“Indeed~ And let me tell you, today’s surprise attack on Longhu Mountain was launched based solely on my guess. If I’m wrong,” Gong Qing slit his throat, “I’ll be killed by my comrades!”
"Really?" Tian Jinzhong stared at Gong Qing. "That's a real pity. You guessed right!"
"Back then, we did go down the mountain to find our junior brother, and the people who kidnapped me did interrogate me about his whereabouts." Tian Jinzhong trembled, saying with some regret, "I only regret that I couldn't find my junior brother!"
Suddenly, Tian Jinzhong asked excitedly, "If Huaiyi were by my side, how could they possibly hurt me?!"
Seeing Tian Jinzhong's performance, Gong Qing couldn't help but smile: "You really are..." As he spoke, he picked up a walkie-talkie: "Hello, come in!"
The next second, the door was pushed open, and a blond-haired kid walked in.
Upon seeing who it was, Tian Jin was startled!
"Are you going to keep going?" Gong Qing asked with a smile. "Or will you let me continue guessing?"
"You know, during the past few years in Shanshang, I have spent most of my time taking care of your daily life."
“During this time, I discovered more than once,” Gong Qing said excitedly, “that you almost… fell asleep!”
"You, who claim to be a god who hasn't slept for decades, actually dozed off! Hahaha~"
"This discovery is incredibly exciting because it gives me another possibility, which is..."
At this moment, Tian Jinzhong's body began to tremble, sweat poured down his forehead, and his expression turned frightened. What he was afraid of was never death, but the secret that he would rather die than give up!
Gong Qing also became extremely agitated: "It's not that you don't want to sleep, but that you can't sleep, or rather, you dare not sleep!"
"So, according to my speculation, you went down the mountain back then to find Zhang Huaiyi."
"The person who kidnapped you is also looking for Zhang Huaiyi."
"final"
"The robbers did not get Zhang Huaiyi's whereabouts from you."
"They think you haven't found him."
"otherwise"
"They should have killed you on May 520th to silence you."
"If Longhu Mountain knows Zhang Huaiyi's whereabouts, it will become an obstacle for them."
"In fact, Longhu Mountain did not obtain Zhang Huaiyi's whereabouts from you either."
"And from then on, you were afraid to sleep, but why?"
"The only thing that comes to mind is..."
Gong Qing nodded: "It can cause people to lose some self-control!"
"What you're afraid of is sleep talking!"
"From the day you were rescued and brought back to the mountain, you had a secret that you had to keep hidden: you met Zhang Huaiyi on that trip down the mountain!"
Tian Jinzhong's eyes were bloodshot and full of veins, and at the same time, the secret that had been hidden for many years appeared in his mind.
Seeing Tian Jinzhong's expression, Gong Qing knew he had achieved his goal. He then provoked Tian Jinzhong again: "Not only that, your meeting with Zhang Huaiyi contained some information that you were willing to deceive your teachers and elders to hide!"
"Am I right?"
"Little brat, you're quite the thinker!" Tian Jinzhong glared angrily at Gong Qing. "But you're wrong this time. I didn't find Huaiyi!"
"Even if you cut off my hands and feet, or destroy my meridians, what didn't happen, didn't happen!"
"No matter where I am placed or who I am facing, my answer will be the same!"
