The Wudang Junior Master

Inside the hall, the doors and windows were closed.

The old Taoist priest and Mr. Zhao sat at the top, while the others sat on both sides. The atmosphere had been stagnant for a long time.

"I say, are we just going to sit here like this?" Lu Jin said, "What should we do? Come up with a plan."

Zhou Meng looked at Zhao Fangxu and asked, "Mr. Zhao, have you really not found any clues in the imperial mausoleum?"

Zhao Fangxu sighed and said, "No, the company has mobilized many people and conducted a secret investigation for a long time. Apart from the six words "The Emperor's Tomb is Fallen, the Immortal Emerges", there is nothing else."

"The Emperor's tomb is destroyed, and an immortal appears?" Chen Jinkui was a little confused. "What does this mean? Does it mean that an immortal is about to appear?"

"An immortal has appeared? Humph, ridiculous." Lu Ci snorted coldly, "It's just a trick."

Wang Ai quietly observed the expressions of the old Taoist priest and Zhao Fangxu, and interjected, "The corpse in this imperial mausoleum has remained intact for thousands of years? It's incredible. Perhaps there really are immortals in this world."

Guan Shihua, who was sitting opposite and in charge of the Northeast, said, "Whether there will be an immortal or not is a matter for the future. The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of the emperor's corpse."

Zhao Fangxu pushed his glasses and said, "This is why I called everyone here. Although the company is also searching with all its might, we still hope that everyone can contribute and help find the whereabouts of the emperor's corpse."

Huang Ning'er of the Truth Seeking Society said, "Boss Zhao, it's no problem for us to help you, but you have to explain to us why this emperor's corpse is so important."

Zhao Fangxu did not answer this question, but turned to look at the old Taoist priest beside him.

The old Heavenly Master opened his eyes and explained, "This matter involves the secret treasures of the immortals. The emperor's corpse is the molt of an immortal. It has remained incorrupt for thousands of years, and its flesh is indestructible. The secret hidden within it is even greater than the Jiashen Rebellion. If it is not recovered in time, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe on earth."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"This... can't be." Chen Jinkui said in shock, "After all, it's just a corpse. How can it cause such a disaster on earth..."

You know, even the Jiashen Rebellion back then could not be considered a major disaster.

Just this caused a bloody storm back then. If someone hadn't instigated the incident and made things end badly, it's not certain whether the incident would have happened at all.

After all, many people involved in the Jiashen Rebellion were elite disciples from various schools and sects. If everyone had chosen to resolve the issue in a low-key manner, there probably wouldn't have been such a big chaos later.

The others didn't say anything, but looked at the old Taoist priest, waiting for more explanations.

Although they believed in the old Taoist priest very much, since this matter was so big, everyone naturally wanted to know more.

The old Heavenly Master didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything, and said frankly, "Everyone, regarding the Emperor's corpse...or rather, the Yellow Emperor, everyone should know something about his deeds."

Everyone nodded. Who among the Chinese people didn't know Huangdi?

"There are many legends about the Yellow Emperor, and the world generally regards them as myths. However, as extraordinary people, we possess powers that ordinary people cannot understand. Therefore, there should be no objection to the identity of our ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, as an extraordinary person."

Everyone nodded again. Everyone knew that Xiang Yu, Guan Yu, and Zhuge Liang were all famous and powerful people in ancient times. Then no one doubted that Huangdi, who was even more legendary and had many deeds, was also a person of extraordinary powers.

Seeing everyone's rapt attention, the old Taoist priest continued, "During the Yellow Emperor's time, many gods competed for supremacy. Innately powerful extraordinary people emerged one after another and shone brightly. Let's take something that everyone knows about."

"The origin of the Eight Great Techniques is also inextricably linked to this era thousands of years ago."

"Emperor Xuanyuan fought Chiyou, and the Battle of Zhuolu lasted for years. He dreamed that the gods bestowed upon him the secret code, and he ascended the altar to offer sacrifices and practice diligently. A divine dragon carried a map across the Luo River, and a phoenix carried a book in the clouds. He ordered Feng Hou to deduce it into a text, and thus began the art of Dunjia Qimen."

After hearing this, Chen Jinkui said in a deep voice: "One of the Eight Wonders, Fenghou Qimen."

Zhou Meng remained silent.

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Yes, the Eight Miraculous Skills are considered extraordinary nowadays, but they were nothing in the Yellow Emperor's time. And Feng Hou was one of the Yellow Emperor's ministers at that time."

"In that ancient era, there were many extraordinary people like Feng Hou. As the leader of the Five Emperors, the Yellow Emperor's knowledge probably far exceeded our imagination."

"As for the story of the Yellow Emperor, I won't bother to elaborate. Although he is no longer with us, the immortal remains he left behind may contain some secrets. Once they are discovered..."

The old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, and his majestic and vast aura burst out in an instant like a raging storm.

"By then, I'm afraid no one will be able to bear the consequences."

Everyone was momentarily intimidated by the old Heavenly Master's aura. After a long moment, Feng Zhenghao wiped his sweat and said, "Old Heavenly Master, Director Zhao, since the secret of this emperor's corpse is so profound, has it been solved after all these years?"

"Oh, what I mean is, if we can't solve it, then maybe the corpse stealer won't get anything."

Zhao Fangxu glanced at Feng Zhenghao and also took in the expressions of the others.

"Regarding this matter, the company will not hide it from you. We did attempt to investigate, but found nothing. Without worrying about being laughed at, there are very powerful restrictions on the emperor's corpse that we cannot break."

Feng Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, the situation is not too bad."

Bang!

There was a loud noise, startling everyone.

Zhao Fangxu's eyes were as sharp as blades, and his usually kind and benevolent face now made people feel terrified.

"We can't gamble!"

There was only this one sentence, but everyone knew that this matter was probably much more serious than they had expected.

But the old Taoist priest and Zhao Fangxu seemed unwilling to reveal anything more.

Lu Jin was the first to stand up and said, "Old Heavenly Master, Director Zhao, don't worry. My Lu family will do everything in our power to find the whereabouts of the emperor's corpse, no matter the cost!"

Lu Ci folded his arms and said, "My Lu family is the same."

"My Wang family naturally has no choice but to accept it."

"I, Shaolin, will also do my best."

"Me too!"

Everyone representing various sects and factions expressed their opinions.

After the meeting, everyone left with their own thoughts. Only the old Taoist priest and Zhao Fangxu came to a small pavilion on the mountain in the backyard.

"It won't be long before the alien world becomes bustling. Director Zhao's job will probably be difficult."

Zhao Fangxu sighed, "What can I do? It's my responsibility. I just hope these people can be less aggressive."

"I have already discussed this with other fellow Taoists and will fully support Director Zhao's work."

"Thank you, old master."

"Mr. Zhao is too polite. To be honest, this matter is of great importance to our Taoist sect."

"Oh, this damn tomb robber!"
