Under One Person: The Great Celestial Venerable of All Worlds

Chapter 70 Extraordinary Skill: The Six-Story Immortal Thief

"..."

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Lingyu remained calm and responded loudly, "You've been watching me all night, and if you don't come out one by one, you'd be too embarrassed to show yourselves..."

He had long noticed that ever since he obtained the "Heavenly Scroll," there had always been several gazes watching him, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, but never completely disappearing.

"hey-hey……"

The next moment, a short old man holding prayer beads emerged from behind a tree, followed by a burly man carrying a schoolbag, a young man wearing a straw hat and carrying a soul-summoning banner, and a man and a woman.

"Master Lingyu is truly shrewd... Please leave a copy of the Tongtian Talisman, and we will definitely not make things difficult for you!"

Zhang Lingyu turned his head and asked, "Who are you all...?"

"All Sects..."

The elder leading the group was a renowned figure in the Quanxing sect, an expert in weapon crafting, named Yuan Tao.

The burly man was his apprentice, Han Dan'er, who, despite his exceptional talent in weapon crafting, was born mentally challenged.

The young man carrying the soul-summoning banner is named Xue Fan. He has the innate ability to summon souls. The white banner in his hand is a magical artifact, refined from corpse oil.

The remaining man and woman were both newcomers. The man was named Zhu Shan, who practiced the Vermilion Palm technique, and the woman was named Xiao Rou, who practiced the Soft Bone technique.

"Master Lingyu, we've searched your residence but couldn't find it... Did you have it with you?" Yuan Tao smiled.

"..."

Zhang Lingyu didn't respond, but calmly looked at them: "Just the few of you... you want the Heavenly Scroll?"

He was somewhat disappointed.

Upon hearing this, a figure instantly rushed out from the opposing group; it was Zhu Shan: "So, Master Lingyu looks down on us? Very well, let me learn from you!"

sizzle...

wow——

However, the next moment, a bolt of lightning flashed, and the man was sent flying backward, his chest charred black.

"Couldn't even withstand a single palm strike..."

"You dare to talk about learning from me?"

Seeing his companion knocked unconscious, Yuan Tao didn't care at all: "Hehe, this kid was impatient and overestimated himself. Master Lingyu, please don't take offense. Shall we talk about the Tongtian Talisman?"

Zhang Lingyu raised his hand and beckoned: "If you want to take the Tongtian Talisman, defeat me first."

"That's easy to say!" Yuan Tao nodded, "But before that... we need to clear out the 'traps' first."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingdao, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly widened his eyes and noticed the movement behind him.

"Kid, you hid pretty well!"

He turned his head and saw an old man with eyes as black as dark caves standing behind him, staring at him with a smile.

"When?!"

He immediately channeled his Qi, and lightning flashed as he unleashed a "Palm Thunder" strike, only to have it nimbly dodged by his opponent.

"Hey! These young people nowadays are so impatient!"

This person was none other than Xia Liuqing, a renowned figure of the Quanxing sect who had been famous for over eighty years. He came from a family of shamans and was a leading actor in the Peking Opera in his youth, specializing in "divine masks".

wow——

The next moment, he raised his hand, and colorful light instantly gathered in his palm. Two rays separated from it, transforming into seven-colored maces, which he held in his hand. The remainder solidified into a mask that would be painted when performing in an opera...

Upon closer inspection.

It is none other than "Yuchi Gong" from Peking Opera!

boom!

Facing Zhang Mingdao's lightning attack, Xia Liuqing struck him with her mace, forcing him to reveal himself completely. The force of the blow was so great that Zhang Mingdao groaned.

"Junior Uncle, we've been seen through!"

Despite the pain, Zhang Mingdao flashed to Zhang Lingyu's side.

Xia Liuqing then stepped forward: "These two little kids are too green to play mind games with us old folks!"

Even so, Zhang Lingyu remained calm: "Add one more, are there any others?"

"What, are we not enough to deal with the two of you?"

"Now that everyone's here, Eighth Senior Brother, I'll leave it to you!"

"Um?"

The Quanxing members frowned, and then a bolt of lightning appeared from not far away, instantly appearing. It was Liang Fuguo, the eighth disciple personally taught by the Old Celestial Master and Zhang Mingdao's master!

"Master!"

Seeing this, Zhang Mingdao smiled and stopped pretending. This was their backup plan. With the strength personally taught by the Celestial Master, the situation was already under control. With the addition of the two of them, taking down these people would not be difficult.

"I see……"

Xia Liuqing narrowed her eyes slightly: "No wonder you two little brats dared to scheme against us, this is your trump card..."

He then grinned.

"But how can you be so sure... we weren't prepared?"

Swish!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dark shadow darted out, striking Liang Fuguo with such speed that it was impossible for anyone to react.

boom!

In the nick of time, Liang Fuguo raised his hand to block the opponent's punch, but he was still hit hard, which showed that the opponent's strength was enormous and far beyond that of an ordinary person.

"He's a foreigner?!"

Upon seeing the face of the attacker, Liang Fuguo's eyes widened. It was one thing for the Quanxing to attack the mountain, but why did a white-skinned foreigner also come?

"It's here!"

Upon seeing this person appear, Fu Xuan, who was observing from afar on the mountaintop, narrowed his eyes and smiled. This was an important target he wanted to recruit this time.

"Baron!"

Baron Grylls is a foreign mercenary who came to assist his old friend Xia Liuqing. In addition, he has a very special identity - he is the inheritor of "Six Treasures Immortal Thief", one of the Thirteen Wonders!

Twenty years ago, he became a professional explorer after being discharged from the special forces. While rescuing an expedition team that had lost contact during an expedition to Kanchenjunga Peak, he was stranded in the mountains due to a blizzard. By chance, he met Nguyen Phong, who was living in seclusion in the mountains.

This person was one of the Thirty-Six Thieves and the founder of the "Six Treasuries Immortal Thieves." His extraordinary skills were based on the six internal organs of the human body, constructing a perfect digestive system that instantly breaks down ingested substances into Qi...

As long as you keep eating.

Then one can live forever without aging.

However, for those with weak willpower, this method has a huge side effect: they will find it difficult to control themselves and will eat people. Ruan Feng was originally a recluse and his cultivation in terms of willpower was not good. Therefore, in order to prevent himself from eating people, he hid in the deserted snow mountain.

When they met Nguyen Phuong in Barun, he was unconscious. Trapped in the mountains, he and a companion stayed temporarily in the cave where Nguyen Phuong was staying, hoping that the blizzard would stop soon so that they could take him away.

The blizzard lasted for several days, and their food supplies were long gone. Starving, his companions wanted to kill Nguyen Phuong and eat his flesh, but he stopped them, upholding his humanity. His companions then tried to kill him first, but he knocked them unconscious...

He never woke up again.

As time went by, Baron's will was gradually eroded by hunger. In a daze, he picked up a knife, ignored his companions on the ground, and walked towards Ruan Feng.

But as he raised the knife, his humanity once again stopped him, causing him to tremble all over. In the struggle, he plunged the knife into his own thigh and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Barron didn't know.

Ruan Feng did not fall into a coma; he had only entered a state of "turtle breathing" to conserve energy. He witnessed the entire process and became interested in this foreigner who would rather die than eat people.

After that, he revived him with his own blood, taught him Qi cultivation, and imparted the "Six Treasuries of Immortal Thieves." When he finished his cultivation and was able to leave the mountain, he almost roared as he gave him a message:

"No matter how long! At least stay the way you are now! Just be a fucking outcast! At least!"

In this world where people can eat each other when pushed to the limit, being an outcast...

Hold on!
