Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Accompanied by exclamations of surprise, news quickly swept across Dragon Tiger Mountain like a hurricane that the Heavenly Master had returned, indirectly suppressing the attention on Zhang Longyi.

But Zhang Longyi knew that the matter was far from over.

When he thought of his generous speech on Heavenly Pillar Peak, his face contorted with emotion.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Yi Chengzi! I curse you, bastard!"

His lips were bitten in agitation, droplets of bright red blood dripped down onto the pristine white marble floor, starkly conspicuous.

With a sweep of his wide sleeves, Zhang Longyi instantly became a master of desk clearing, swiping all the brushes, inks, papers, and inkstones from the table.

Smack, thud, bang, boom.

Failure itself isn't frightening; what's terrifying is having one's failure put on display.

"I was such a fool, really, how could I believe that idiot woman's words; this was a trap, a trap designed to make me, Zhang Longyi, walk into the spotlight voluntarily."

Amidst the chaotic scene, Zhang Longyi sat collapsed in the center of the floor, hair disheveled, eyes bloodshot; at that moment, he had figured everything out.

Someone had set the stage, just waiting for him to leap into it.

The door creaked open.

A gentle woman tiptoed in.

"Longyi..."

"Rong Er, you came. "

"It's rare for you to think of me while busy with Senior Brother Zhang Menqing, calling out so loudly."

At that moment, Zhang Longyi, with streaks of blood between his front teeth and hair covering his face, smiled like a demon, looking immensely creepy.

Even Zhang Ronger felt a chill looking at Zhang Longyi in that state.

"Long... Longyi, what do we... what do we do now?" The gentle woman, knowing she was at fault, stammered softly.

Looking at the innocent face before him, Zhang Longyi couldn't help but think of the vulgar words and the flowing ink-like hair on the Liuying Jade, as well as the eyes that were slowly being overtaken by white.

Smack!

He slapped the gentle woman across the face with a fierce and swift backhand.

"You ask me what to do, I feel like finding a hole to crawl into."

"Didn't you say that True Monarch Zhang Menqing, with his high cultivation, would certainly notice if someone was spying? Look at those Liuying Jades, others are practically throwing them in your face."

"You damn make me feel sick!"

After sending the gentle woman spinning in the air with a slap, Zhang Longyi, still not satisfied, followed up with a liver-busting punch and then began furiously kicking the fallen cultivator on the ground with his feet.

As the saying goes, a 2.0T foot doesn't do a 1.4T job; Zhang Longyi of the True Person Realm couldn't punch with the force of the Qi Refinement Realm. Soon, the pitiful wails from the figure on the ground began to subside.

Boom!

At that moment, the door suddenly burst open, revealing the silhouette of a Daoist.

"Enough, Zhang Longyi, do you really want to kill her?"

"Zhang Lingyue is now on the verge of breaking his limits, and Zhang Ronger is his most cherished disciple. If you still want the Yin Dragon Pill, stop this immediately."

"Father!"

"Don't call me father. You've disgraced me completely; you can't even control a woman, and that's truly disappointing."

"Clean yourself up. Qi Longhu has brought the Heavenly Master back to Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the Heavenly Master has decided to celebrate for three days. Our Tianxuan Peak Lineage has two individuals breaking their limits, and one more is on the path of breaking through. This is a huge joyous occasion. You and Zhang Ronger need to tidy up; you must attend tonight's banquet."

When mentioning Qi Longhu, a smile inevitably spread across True Lord Yuanhong's face.

Ever since he took that straightforward young man as his disciple, he felt plagued by bad luck, and deep down, he felt dubious, which is why he sent him away to travel.

But what a breakthrough! His disciple had managed to bring back the long-absent Heavenly Master Zhang Ji Shi. And due to Qi Longhu, the returning Heavenly Master showed exceptional favor towards their lineage, planning to reside with them at Tianxuan Peak.

For their gradually declining lineage, this was like a shot of adrenaline. Even the sect elders personally praised Yuan Hong for having an excellent eye and rewarded him with many treasures, entrusting him to cultivate Qi Longhu well.

The concept of fortune is ethereal and unpredictable, waxing and waning like the sun and the moon, yet it truly exists.

In the cultivation world, it has always been said that when the time is right, both heaven and earth will put forth strength together, but when fortune fades, even heroes cannot act freely.

Since Qi Longhu was not the problem, then by process of elimination, the real jinx had to be apparent.

Looking at the mad Zhang Longyi, a trace of barely discernible disgust flashed in True Lord Yuanhong's eyes.

It seemed he had misjudged Qi Longhu. Ever since he returned from cultivating his Yin Thunder Technique, his Tianxuan Peak Lineage had been bogged down with bad luck. It seemed...

For a moment, True Lord Yuanhong entertained the thought of making Zhang Longyi leave Tianxuan Peak.

Today, as if he gained a new lease on life, his newly taken concubine had announced her pregnancy, carrying a boy; next year he would have another happy addition to the family.

"Father!"

Looking at the pitiful state of Zhang Longyi, Yuan Hong, after many years of fatherhood, ultimately found it impossible to make that hard decision. He sighed deeply and said:

"Longyi, I know you feel wronged, but the situation is what it is, we have to continue the act, even if it's pretense."

"After attending the Heavenly Master's return feast today, you should stay at Tianxuan Peak and not go anywhere else."

"I know about the organization you've created outside, using human souls and Yin Qi to speed up the cultivation of the Yin Thunder Technique, you should stop that too."

"You've offended Yi Chengzi, he's vengeful and powerful in cultivation. Once you leave Tianxuan Peak, father might not be able to protect you. There's no telling how many people wish to take your head to curry favor with Yi Chengzi, hoping to climb the ranks."
