After Li Zhong finished speaking, Li Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked at his elder brother with a complicated expression.

"Brother, I remember you were quite upright when we were kids. How come you've become more and more treacherous since you became the bureau chief?"

Li Zhong picked up a book and threw it at him, saying, "You brat, if I weren't so deep, our bureau would have been gone long ago."

Li Yuan slunk out of the office and found a quiet spot to make a phone call to a Taoist master.

May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings and may the True Man Yunlong enjoy good health.

"Hey Li, what trouble have you run into this time?"

In Yunlong Cave of Wudang Mountain, Zhong Yunlong sat cross-legged on a stone bed, preparing to enter a meditative state, when he received a phone call from Li Yuan.

In the past, unless it was something that Bureau 749 couldn't solve, they wouldn't suddenly call me.

"Hey, what are you saying? If there's nothing else, I'd like to call the Taoist priest and ask him some questions."

"You little rascal, you're getting smoother and smoother. Tell me what it is. I'm going into seclusion later, and I'll turn off my phone and cut off all contact with the outside world."

Zhong Yunlong told the truth.

"No, no, no, Master, it's like this..."

Li Yuan briefly recounted the whole story, including his elder brother Li Zhong's concerns.

Zhong Yunlong frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that the person Li Zhong mentioned who could use thunder magic should have some connection with him, but this connection was too small to be easily detected.

“Yes, I think your elder brother Li Zhong is right. We can’t be careless about this. We should ask the Old Master directly.”

Zhong Yunlong nodded, "Alright, then I will use my inner vision to deduce this person's background. Regardless of whether he is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, it is not convenient for Wudang Mountain to get involved in this matter."

"That's right, that's right, thank you for your hard work, Daoist Yunlong." Li Yuan flattered him, not expecting Daoist Yunlong to be so easy to talk to. He thought he would have to beg for something in return.

"We're all working for the country, don't be so polite. You don't need to hang up, it'll only take a few seconds."

After responding with a smile, Zhong Yunlong slowly closed his eyes.

The internal scenario deduction method is more accurate, but it can backfire if you are not careful when using it.

Of course, Zhong Yunlong believed that as long as he did not try to deduce how long the leaders of Longhu Mountain and Wandao Longmen would live, it was unlikely that others could retaliate against his internal divination.

After all, his inner field of vision was exceptionally powerful and stable.

However, just as Zhong Yunlong entered the inner realm with a smile, intending to use Li Yuan's cause and effect to deduce Chen Xuan's origins...

But his originally rosy complexion suddenly changed, turning pale to a visibly pale color. The internal mental deduction lasted only three seconds before it could no longer be deepened.

"puff!"

Zhong Yunlong's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. "How is this possible? How could this happen?"

"Back when I had achieved mastery of the inner vision, out of curiosity, I predicted which of Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain would prosper more in the next twenty years. I suffered a minor backlash, but I was not seriously injured!"

Zhong Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly, "And this time, I was just using the inner vision to deduce someone's identity, and I suffered such a strong backlash. I feel like if I grit my teeth and continue, I'll end up seeing my master?"

"Master, what's wrong? What happened over there?"

The call didn't stop, so Li Yuan naturally heard what Zhong Yunlong was doing.

Good heavens, what's that sound? Is it the sound of vomiting blood?

"It's alright, it's alright. You heard it too, I suffered a backlash from my inner vision and I'm injured now. I'm afraid it won't be able to heal for a while."

"Huh? How could this be?" Li Yuan exclaimed in shock. "Could it be that the person who came down the mountain to destroy the Immortal Path was the Celestial Master?"

Zhong Yunlong's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this. "Even the Old Celestial Master couldn't have caused me to suffer such a backlash. I was merely deducing his identity, not his future or past."

"Huh? What... what do we do?"

“I have no other choice. You should find someone more capable,” Zhong Yunlong said.

"And what about Master Zhishun?"

"No, he's good at divination, not healing. Going to him might kill him," Zhong Yunlong said. "I suggest you go directly to Zhang Zhiwei. If he can't handle it either, then..."

Li Yuan's expression changed drastically. "Thank you for your guidance. I'm so sorry to have caused you to get hurt innocently."

"That's all."

As soon as the call ended, Li Zhong immediately called the old master.

Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.

During the peak tourist season, Zhang Zhiwei, the "Old Celestial Master," was forced to work multiple times.

"Wow, the legendary Celestial Master!"

"With white hair and a youthful face, he really looks like an immortal from a TV series!"

"Old Celestial Master, I'd like to take a picture with you so I can enshrine it in my home to ward off evil spirits!"

Zhang Zhiwei stood in front of the main gate of Longhu Mountain, making a peace sign with both hands, while facing a group of young tourists.

Because he was so engrossed in his work, he didn't even hear Li Yuan's phone call.

I only saw it after taking photos with fans and then taking out my phone.

"Why does the 749th Bureau keep calling this old man for no reason? I'm enjoying my retirement."

"Oh dear, why is my right eyelid twitching all of a sudden?"

The old master looked at his phone screen like a mirror, and as soon as he looked down, he saw a call from his personal disciple.

"Lingyu, how did things go?"

"Let's put that aside for now. Let me tell you about someone and see if he's a deity," the old master said with a laugh. "You think he's a deity from a TV drama? You don't find that easy to meet."

"Master, my Taoist skills are meager, and I really can't calculate it. Could you please take a look for me?" The blood at the corner of Zhang Lingyu's mouth hadn't even dried yet.

"Oh, if you can't figure it out, then the behavioral therapist will take a look at it for you."

The old celestial master sat on the bluestone, completely disregarding the matter, and began to calculate with his hands, "Chen Xuan, is it?"

However, after pinching for the third time, the old master suddenly widened his eyes, "Holy crap! This..."

"I just don't believe it! What kind of background could an 18-year-old kid have that would cause such strong resistance?!"

Even in his old age, the Heavenly Master, who never admits defeat, has already agreed to his disciple's request to perform a divination. If there is no result, wouldn't he be disgracing his reputation in his later years?

He gritted his teeth and persevered. Before he knew it, the old master had unleashed his full power. The aura of such a master swept around like a whirlwind, and no one could enter within ten feet.

"Pooh!"

Fortunately, Zhang Zhiwei was highly skilled and finished the job in time; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured and coughed up blood.

"Master, how is it?"

As the old master listened to the phone call, he looked at the mouthful of saliva he had spat out on the ground, which was now streaked with blood.

"You unfilial disciple, are you trying to harm your master?" Zhang Zhiwei cursed. "When we were kids, you used Zhang Zushi's birth date to make up stories for me to calculate. This time you've gone even further, telling me, which patriarch of the Taoist sect is this Chen Xuan?"

"What? Master, you threw up too?"

"What? You vomited?" Zhang Zhiwei was confused for a moment, but immediately understood what had happened. He glared at him and cursed, "You little brat, come back and I'll skin you alive!"
