The person dressed as a scholar opposite them is naturally Daoist Master Wen Shi.
Wen Shi smiled and said, "You don’t understand, do you? For us scholars, the most important thing is our face."
"Otherwise, why are there so many legends of scholars living off their looks in ancient times?"
As soon as Wen Shi finished speaking, the three people around him laughed heartily.
An elder with a dark plexion couldn’t help but touch his face and said, "Actually, when I was young, I was also a scholar, and many people admired me back then."
"Oh, give it a rest. Back in the Hundred Divisions days..." Celestial mander pointed at the dark-faced elder and started laughing, but his words abruptly stopped halfway.
It was as if "Hundred Divisions" was a taboo term.
Suddenly, the once cheerful scene turned slightly awkward.
"What? You weren’t happy during the Hundred Divisions days?"
A sudden cold voice rang out.
Immediately, the four in the courtyard became cautious, strong auras emanating around them.
Today was the birthday feast, and everyone in the mansion was given a holiday. To gather with old friends, the younger generation was sent away, told to return in the evening.
At this moment, besides the four of them, there was no one else in the yard.
To e uninvited and remain unnoticed by the four—clearly the visitor had ill intentions.
Furthermore, the words just spoken choked them up, making them feel quite unfortable.
"Stop playing tricks, show yourself to this old man!" Celestial mander roared.
Suddenly, an overwhelmingly Divine Power emerged, a golden lion that was larger than the entire mansion appeared.
As soon as it appeared, the golden lion let out a roar.
The golden impact carried a kind of Divine Power, revealing the essence of everything it touched.
However, the next moment...
A hand silently landed on the lion’s head.
Then...
Crash!!
Without any resistance or signs, the majestic golden lion instantly became wrapped in countless cracks and shattered in a moment.
"Pfft!!" As the Divine Power broke, Celestial mander was also affected, his face pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Wen Shi opened a book in his hand, and instantly characters appeared, transforming into symbols that fell upon Celestial mander.
Immediately, Celestial mander’s aura stabilized a bit.
The other two elders exchanged a glance, stepping forward in unison to shield their old friend.
"I really didn’t expect you to be here too, Wen Shi..."
"And you two, Wang Ran, Li Mo, very well."
The voice echoed again.
"Who exactly are you? Are you an old acquaintance from the past? May we meet face to face?"
The speaker had a large forehead, and his hair was white yet his face youthful.
"Wang Ran, you always know what to say."
A cold voice responded.
At the same time, the figure of Zhou Wuliang emerged.
The instant Wen Shi saw Zhou Wuliang’s figure, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Unlike the previous encounter where this old fellow seemed on the verge of death, now an unfathomable aura flowed around him.
To crush Celestial mander’s Divine Power with one hand showed Zhou Wuliang’s current strength.
The other three, upon seeing Zhou Wuliang, their pupils trembled abruptly.
"It’s you!!"
"Zhou Wuliang!!"
"This is impossible!!"
Their exclamations varied; Zhou Wuliang’s condition had been closely monitored by them all along.
What they wanted most was to see Zhou Wuliang barely clinging on, incapable of anything else.
For years, Zhou Wuliang had indeed been like that.
But the Zhou Wuliang before them now felt utterly unfamiliar.
"The matter of the past can’t be concealed, according to the law of Tongtianmen, you should all die."
Zhou Wuliang spoke coldly.
Then he pressed down with one hand...
Buzz!!
An indescribable force descended instantly, like the will of heaven and earth, like the mind of Star River.
As this palm fell, everyone felt the word "death" emerging in their hearts.
It was as if they, too, believed they deserved to die.
Celestial mander seemed to sense something. With a trembling voice, he shouted out two words.
"Heavenly Master!!"
