One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

As they were talking, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door. Then, the door was slowly pushed open and a disciple poked his head in: "Zhang Chulan, the old Heavenly Master wants to see you."

The four of them exchanged glances, and an invisible pressure quietly spread. Zhang Chulan stood up and patted his collar, as if to encourage himself: "The time has come, I'm going."

"Come on, Xiao Lanzi." Feng Baobao smiled faintly, and there was unquestionable support in that smile.

"Remember, no matter what the outcome, this is your home." Xu San's words were warm and powerful.

Xu Si grabbed Zhang Chulan's hand and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Boy, if you succeed, don't forget to bring back a few bottles of good wine to celebrate!"

Zhang Chulan smiled and nodded, then turned and walked out of the room, entering an unknown fate. As his back disappeared into the night, the atmosphere in the room became more solemn.

"I hope he can succeed." Feng Baobao whispered, breaking the silence.

"Definitely." Xu San and Xu Si answered at the same time, their voices full of confidence and expectation.

"After all, he is Zhang Chulan." Xu Si added, with a confident arc on his lips.

Zhang Chulan came to the Tianshi Mansion. Faced with the sudden test, a rare solemn look appeared on his cynical face.

"Zhang Chulan, Ye Lin recommends you as a candidate for the Heavenly Master degree. However, this is not an honor that can be easily obtained." The old Heavenly Master looked at the young man in front of him with a sharp gaze.

Zhang Chulan smiled bitterly: "Old Heavenly Master, I have never thought about any glory. But, if this is my destiny, I am willing to give it a try."

"Very good." Zhang Zhiwei nodded with satisfaction. "Then, your first test will be... to find and uncover the truth behind the Jiashen Rebellion."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Zhang Chulan, but also Lu Jin and Ye Lin beside him changed their expressions slightly.

The Jiashen Rebellion was a taboo and mystery hidden deep in the alien world, a taboo that no one had dared to touch for decades.

"The Jiashen Rebellion? This..." Zhang Chulan was stunned, then revealed a resolute expression, "I accept it."

"Remember, Zhang Chulan, the truth is often more complicated and more dangerous than you imagine." The old Taoist priest said meaningfully, "However, I believe you can give us an answer."

At this point in the conversation, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes slightly, signaling the end of the meeting. As he left the main hall, Zhang Chulan looked back, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. He knew that from this moment on, the trajectory of his life would undergo a drastic change.

"Brother Ye Lin, you pushed me into a big pit." Zhang Chulan said half-jokingly, but the gleam in his eyes revealed his expectation and determination.

Ye Lin smiled, his smile full of trust in Zhang Chulan: "Don't worry, Zhang Chulan, you are never alone. We are all behind you."

Ye Lin led Zhang Chulan through a maze of corridors to a simply furnished yet warmly appointed room. As soon as they entered, Xu San leaped up like a cheetah poised for action, his eager eyes seemingly able to penetrate all pretense and reach the truth.

"How's it going, Xiao Lanzi? Did you pass the level with the old Taoist priest?"

There was a subtle hint of nervousness in his voice, and he obviously had high hopes for this meeting with Zhang Chulan.

Xu Si leaned lazily against the window, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, and said nonchalantly, "You've only been out for a short time. I thought you were going to spend the night in that palace." Although his words were understated, a hint of concern unconsciously slipped into his eyes.

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips with a complicated expression, as if he didn't know how to start.

He glanced at Xu San, then at Xu Si, and ultimately just shook his head, not answering immediately. The silence thickened in the air, forming an indescribable pressure.

Seeing this, Ye Lin interrupted at the right time. He patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder and responded to the Xu brothers' questions in a relaxed yet firm tone:

"Don't look at them like this. The task given by the old Taoist priest is not simple. He wants Zhang Chulan to find out the truth about the Jiashen Rebellion." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

"The Jiashen Rebellion?" Xu San repeated this familiar yet mysterious word, his brows wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川". "This...what a heavy task this is, it's simply..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Si had already jumped up from the window with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"The Jiashen Rebellion, that legendary taboo?" Xu Si interrupted Xu San, his tone a mixture of surprise and worry. "Is the old Taoist priest asking Xiao Lanzi to do an impossible task?"

Ye Lin smiled, a smile that held deep meaning. He looked at Zhang Chulan, his eyes filled with certainty: "Yes, but it's not impossible. You've forgotten that Zhang Chulan never plays by the rules."

Zhang Chulan could feel the eyes of the people around him focused on him. He straightened his chest. Although he was still nervous, his tone was remarkably firm. "Yes, it is difficult. But no matter what, this is the path I have chosen. I will unveil the Jiashen Rebellion, both for myself and for all those who want to know the truth."

Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying unspoken support and trust. Finally, Xu San clapped his hands, breaking the brief silence: "Alright! Then we'll help you! No matter what the road ahead holds, we brothers are united!"

"Yes, Xiao Lanzi,"

Xu Si also joined in, throwing the unlit cigarette into the trash can. "When has our Xu family ever been afraid of hardship? Besides, you have us old hands to cover for you."

Zhang Chulan looked at everyone around him with gratitude. This deep brotherhood filled him with warmth. He smiled and said, "With you all here, I have nothing to fear. Let's go and start preparing now. We'll see what happens during the Jiashen Rebellion!"

Zhang Chulan and his group were enthusiastically discussing how to uncover the mystery of the Jiashen Rebellion. Suddenly, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a gentle knock on the door. A calm voice rang out: "Is Ye Lin here? I'm Lu Jin."

Hearing this familiar name, Xu San immediately stood up, signaling everyone to calm down, and walked quickly to the door. When the door opened, he saw Lu Jin, dressed in black. His expression revealed an undeniable majesty and depth, a commanding presence without even anger.

"Senior Lu, why are you here?" Xu San asked politely, while stepping aside to invite Lu Jin into the house. The latter's eyes swept over everyone present, finally stopping on Ye Lin.

"I'm here because I want to talk to Ye Lin alone about something." Lu Jin's words were concise and direct, causing everyone present to hold their breath involuntarily, and the atmosphere became subtle.
