Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 50 Carrying a Bomb to Visit Ancestral Graves

More than half a month later.

Siming Mountain is located on the border of Yongzhou. It is a low mountain and hilly area with undulating peaks and overlapping ridges.

At the foot of the mountain lies a town called Siming Town.

Originally, this town was rarely visited by outsiders due to its remote location, and it was almost completely isolated from the world.

However, as news of Duan Chuan's recruitment of followers spread throughout the entire world of supernatural beings, many unfamiliar faces gradually appeared on the streets of this town.

Zhao Zhen walked along the small road in Siming Town, silently looking at the surrounding buildings.

He knew that, strictly speaking, this was his old man's hometown.

……

"My hometown? It's a place where red maple leaves stretch for miles. Every time the maple leaves fall, the whole area turns bright red. It's incredibly beautiful."

It's a pity, I've been away from my hometown for so long, it's been decades since I've been back..."

"Since you miss it so much, why don't you go back and visit?"

"Go back? I dare not..."

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, you have the Golden Escape Technique, so even if there are enemies blocking your way, you can get away at any time, right?"

“Silly boy, you don’t understand. If they find out that I still have feelings for my hometown, then that place will never be peaceful again.”

"Serves you right. Who told you to make so many enemies? Couldn't you have been a little more peaceful when you were young? Now that you're old, you're unable to go home..."

"Hey you brat, now you actually dare to lecture me!"

……

Recalling his conversation with the old man, a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Zhen's lips.

"This old man, after running away his whole life, is he finally not going to run away this time...?"

Just as Zhao Zhen was feeling sentimental, the figure walking towards him made him slightly startled.

"It's you?!!"

Lu Ci exclaimed in surprise, a hint of astonishment and apprehension flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"That's true. After all, that sorcerer was your master, so of course you would come to collect his body."

Faced with Lü Ci's sarcastic remarks, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly.

What did this "mad dog" ever do to you?
Alright, since you drew your sword first, don't blame me for drawing mine!
"Who do we have here? Isn't this Erbi from the Lü Family's Twin Jewels?"

"You're the one who's a fool! Your whole family are fools!"

Upon hearing this, several veins bulged on Lü Ci's forehead.

"brother……"

Behind Lü Ci, Lü Ren's helpless voice rang out again.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry. My brother was ignorant and offended you earlier. I hope you will forgive him. I apologize to you on his behalf."

After saying this, Lü Ren also bowed deeply to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Lü Ci, then slowly shook his head.

"No problem."

"Brother Zhao, is your trip also to witness this act of karmic connection?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded, then looked around. "There are quite a few people here..."

"After all, this is a rare opportunity to receive a karmic connection, even within the Quanxing sect, and of course, the large number of people involved must also be related to the person receiving the karmic connection."

Lu Ren smiled slightly. Zhao Zhen knew that he actually meant that the old man had made too many enemies over the years, which was why so many people had traveled a long way to come here.

"Maybe."

"Actually, there is something I don't understand, so I would like to ask Brother Zhao for his advice."

"Brother Lü, please speak."

"This Golden Light Master, as an elder of Quanxing, has accumulated a lot of blood debts over the years, but because of his unique technique, Golden Escape Flowing Light, no one can do anything about him."

Logically speaking, if he wanted to, he could have used this method to escape for the rest of his life. So why is he making such a big fuss now, and even publicly withdrawing from Quanxing by accepting donations?
Could it be that he really believes, given what he's done over the years, he can actually survive these seven days of receiving offerings?

“Let alone seven days, the things we’ve encountered along the way would probably make him unable to even make it past the first day!” Lü Ci chimed in.

Faced with the Lu brothers' confusion, Zhao Zhen gradually fell silent until he finally spoke slowly after a long while: "Since he chose this place as the location for collecting blessings, it means he never intended to leave here alive."

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Lü Ren's eyes.

"This is the old man's hometown."

"So that's how it is, fallen leaves return to their roots..."

"Does a monster like him even deserve to return to his roots?"

Lu Ci clenched his fist, a flash of extreme hatred in his eyes.

He still remembers the tragic state of his uncle, who loved him the most when he was a child, dying with his eyes wide open. Given Lü Ci's personality, he would not let the culprit who killed his uncle go, even if he died!
"After that sorcerer dies, I will personally cut off his head and bring it back to my uncle's grave as an offering!"

As he said this, Lü Ci's eyes were almost fixed on Zhao Zhen in front of him.

Zhao Zhen wasn't angry at this; instead, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"You can try it."

Seeing the tension between the two growing, Lü Ren quickly and solemnly pulled Lü Ci behind him.

"Brother, stop talking nonsense!"

"But big brother..."

"Shut up!"

After being loudly reprimanded by Lü Ren, Lü Ci shut his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, but no matter what, that Golden Light Venerable has a blood feud with my Lü family, so my Lü family will definitely not let him off easily this time."

Although Brother Zhao is a disciple of the Golden Light Master, you are different from those Quanxing demons. Furthermore, you have the Left Sect Master and the Celestial Master personally vouching for you. Therefore, I hope that Brother Zhao will remain rational during this recruitment and not make a mistake.”

"Don't worry, since this is the old man's own choice, then whatever the outcome, it's the retribution he deserves, and I won't interfere with his choice."

Zhao Zhen nodded, but the next second she suddenly changed the subject.

"But when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. When a person dies, all blessings and misfortunes should vanish with their death."

I was raised by that old man. It seems I can't rely on him to take care of me in my old age, but seeing him off in his final days is the only way I can repay his kindness in raising me.

But if someone isn't even allowed peace after death, then I wouldn't mind taking two explosives and strolling around their ancestral graveyard one day when I'm bored.

"you!!!"

Lu Ci clenched his fists, his fierce eyes seeming as if he wanted to devour Zhao Zhen alive!
Threat, this is a naked threat!
Do you think threatening me, Lü Ci, will make me afraid of you?!
Just as Lü Ci was about to say something more, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out: "Young friends, please don't be angry..."

Lu Ci turned his head and looked behind him. Who else could that withered, frail old man be but Duan Chuan, his "deeply etched" enemy?!
