I am your natural enemy

The atmosphere in Tianshi Mansion today was a bit strange. An outsider knocked out a man's back teeth in front of several high-ranking Taoist priests in Tianshi Mansion. Those Taoist priests just looked at him with their eyes on the nose and their noses on their hearts, as if they didn't see anything.

The purple-robed Taoist priest, who was the only one who knew in advance that the old Heavenly Master was going down the mountain to experience tribulations, had a gloomy face and sad eyes.

At this moment, he looked at several other Taoist priests of the same generation who had already received the news. Some of them had gloomy faces, not knowing what they were thinking, some could no longer keep their composure and were getting anxious, and some had already pulled their disciples over and started to explain what had happened.

Now, Wen Yan, an outsider, actually cares more about the murder of the old Heavenly Master than anyone else in the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Everyone else was thinking about what was going to happen next, only Wen Yan was thinking about revenge for the old master.

It may not be accurate to say now that the incident was committed by the guy who was beaten, but the incident is definitely related to the guy who was beaten.

Go ahead and beat him. The old Taoist priest gave all the Taoist orders to Wen Yan, so it doesn't count as being beaten by an outsider. Just beat him to death.

As a member of the Tianshi Mansion, let alone being the mastermind in the murder of the old Tianshi, even if he was just involved, the lightest punishment would be to hold an altar in the Patriarch's Hall, submit a petition to the Heavenly Court, and report to all the ancestors of the past generations, go through the complete procedures, deprive him of his Taoist certificates, and completely abolish him.

Even if a person is left with a life, his soul is damaged and he cannot even be reborn as a ghost after death. The body cannot be reborn if it is buried in a corpse-raising ground.

When Wen Yan came, he actually just wanted to ask something. If he started here, it would be much more efficient.

But after the action, his anger rose rapidly and he threw the guy with blood on his face to the ground. Wen Yan held the Heavenly Master's Order in one hand and the Chunjun Mace in the other, and looked at the others with murderous intent.

"Who else wants to succeed the position of Heavenly Master?"

His power dissipated wantonly, covering the entire area. There seemed to be a strange rhythm in his voice, and an even more strange power in the flames. Even under the shadow of the flames, there was some imperceptible charm at work.

As he spoke, there were three other people who had special reactions and were noticed by Wen Yan at a glance.

He had heard of these people's names before, but at this moment he couldn't match the names with the people.

As soon as they looked at each other, Wen Yan's body moved.

In the blink of an eye, one of the guys with anger in his eyes and a gloomy face flew into the air, his head was knocked askew, and he flew backwards with several teeth spewing out of his mouth.

Wen Yan held the Heavenly Master's Order in one hand, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He exploded at this moment. No Taoist could compete with him in fists and feet.

Last time, after returning from the Sea of ​​the Dead, even my body has gained some resistance to many things, some of which have not yet been shown in specific data. Simple or low-level Taoist magic can be resisted with my body without any problem.

In the Tianshi Mansion, he rushed around recklessly, breaking the Taoist rhythm here.

In just a few minutes, all the Taoist priests in the Tianshi Mansion who had the hope of succeeding the position of Tianshi were beaten by Wen Yan.

Several Taoist priests were either lying on the ground vomiting blood or with one side of their faces swollen like pig heads.

Wen Yan looked at the people on the ground, holding the Heavenly Master's Order that was still dripping with blood, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

Some of these people looked like the type who had been acting for decades, but suddenly lost control and started doing things they had never done before, things they were not used to, and suddenly they felt a little unnatural.

There were also some who had the will but not the courage. They might have been prepared, but in the end they did not dare to really assassinate the old Taoist priest. At this moment, seeing those high-ranking Taoist priests, they all looked at him with their eyes and noses, as if they did not see anything. They knew that the beating was in vain.

Furthermore, Wen Yan was an extremely strange person. He beat up the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion in the Tianshi Mansion. Even after opening an altar and inviting a patriarch out, he was still able to break the law with his force, as if they had opened a fake altar and invited a fake patriarch.

There was another one, who probably did not participate. But when he saw everyone else being beaten, it seemed unreasonable for him not to be beaten too. But he couldn't beat them anyway, so he just took the beating.

Anyway, these people have all lived half their lives, and none of them can make Wen Yan feel that they are at the same level as the old master in all aspects.

Now Wen Yan really had no intention of continuing to beat them.

Well, anyway, if the old master doesn’t die this time, he should have no problem living for another ten years, right?

The last time I heard someone say it, it was the headquarters director, Tsai Hei-zi, who said that under normal circumstances, the old Heavenly Master still had another ten years to live.

It took more than ten years for the old Taoist priest to practice the trumpet again and train his successor again, which was a bit difficult according to the rules of the Taoist Temple.

But it's not impossible to force it, maybe there is still hope.

Furthermore, in the old Heavenly Master’s case, even if his physical body was severely damaged during the ordeal, his lifespan must have been shortened.

As long as he recovers his body later, according to the old master's current state, his lifespan may be longer than before.

Wen Yan was not sure whether a cultivator’s life span would increase as his realm improved.

But he is sure that even for ordinary people, their mental state and mentality will directly affect their physical health.

If they are ordinary people, one has a strong mind, a firm will, and a calm mentality, while the other is depressed, even if they are in exactly the same physical condition, the former will definitely live longer.

When he reaches the old Heavenly Master's level, it will definitely have a negative impact on his physical condition.

Wen Yan was not acting without purpose. He gave the old Taoist priest some sugar as an offering. At the first moment, the effect of the sugar was obviously not long.

According to his understanding, the buff triggered by the offering sugar locks the health to about 20%.

When the old Taoist priest was in the worst physical condition, it was estimated that only a trace of skin was left.

After the blood is locked, the body will be forcibly lifted up.

In this way, the blood lock time will be greatly reduced.

The difference between when the buff takes effect and after the effective time ends is very obvious.

But after coming back, the effective time of the offering sugar increased significantly in just one day.

However, the old Taoist's physical condition did not recover significantly.

It's bursting through the sky, that is, the state from 1% health to 3% health.

The only possible difference is that the results of the old master's recent tribulation have begun to take effect.

Wen Yan finished his training, put the Chunjun Mace back on his back, and came before the high-ranking Taoist priests at the Tianshi Mansion.

"Wen Yan couldn't suppress his anger for a moment, and was a little presumptuous. I hope you won't blame me."

Hearing Wen Yan's words, the older Taoist priest in purple robe took a step forward, without any more politeness, he just stretched out a hand, placed it on Wen Yan's shoulder, and said with a complicated expression.

"You have the Heavenly Master Order given to you by the old Heavenly Master himself. You can punish the scum who betrayed their master and ancestors in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. No matter where you put it, there will be no problem.

Even if you beat him to death on the spot, it is not your personal grudge. Even if you ask the ancestors of all generations to help, they will still think that you have no problem. "

Wen Yan cupped his hands, then looked at the other high-ranking Taoist priests, all of whom had heavy expressions on their faces, indicating that they agreed with what he said.

They even began to imagine the scene in their minds where the old Heavenly Master returned from surviving a catastrophe, seriously injured, with his life hanging by a thread, and before dying, he entrusted the Heavenly Master's Order to Wen Yan and asked for help in his last words.

When he thought of this, a thin Taoist priest closed his eyes slightly, covered his face and wiped his tears, then rushed forward quickly and kicked the Taoist priests who were lying on the ground.

After kicking him a few times, he was still not satisfied, so he took a few steps and snatched the sword used for training from a disciple not far away.

"Today, I will kill these evildoers who betrayed their master and ancestors, and let them follow the old master!"

With tears in his eyes, the old Taoist priest took out his sword and stabbed towards the chest of the Taoist priest who was hit first. It was obvious that he really wanted to kill him and wanted to stab him to death on the spot.

Many people heard the old Taoist priest's words that showed his mental breakdown.

The square below was dead silent.

There were originally quite a few disciples of the Tianshi Mansion who were unaware of the inside story. When they saw Wen Yan, an outsider, run into their Tianshi Mansion and beat up several Taoist priests who were qualified to succeed the position of Tianshi.

These people were still somewhat shocked and angry, but seeing that the Taoist priests with the highest status at the scene did not move or say anything to stop them, they held back this time.

Hearing the old Taoist priest's words at this moment, some people were shocked and couldn't believe it, some turned pale, and some were ready to turn around and leave.

But no one stopped the old Taoist priest.

For decades, the old Taoist priest's status and reputation in the Taoist Temple have been much higher than those outside.

If the old Taoist priest were to be the first to speak out and stab the evil disciple to death on the spot, no one would dare to say there was anything wrong.

Wen Yan looked at his nose and his heart, and didn't bother to care.

The Tianshi Temple is cleaning up its house, what does it have to do with him, an outsider?

"Let's go inside and talk first." The only Taoist priest who knew in advance about the old master's tribulation, sighed and spoke.

The only Taoist priest clenched his sword finger and shook it. A pitch-black wooden sword flew out and hit the sword of the old Taoist priest, causing the sword to deflect a little and pierce the opponent's shoulder, but did not pierce the Taoist priest on the ground through the heart.

Entering a side hall, several Taoist priests who had been beaten were brought in and thrown on the ground.

The only Taoist priest looked at the Heavenly Master's Order in Wen Yan's hand, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"We just received a message from the Lieyang Tribe headquarters. The details are not very clear. Old Master... Old Master really..."

Even the Taoist priest was unable to continue speaking.

Wen Yan sighed.

"After surviving the catastrophe, the old Heavenly Master returned, skinny and with his body on the verge of collapse, unable to even stand up.

It is even more impossible to experience long journeys and fatigue from traveling by boat or by car.

I could only arrange for the old Taoist priest to stay in the nearby Decheng Hospital, in Gauss's department.

I thought it was foolproof.

But I didn't expect that Gauss was led away by someone, and when I came back, I was stopped by someone.

And within a day, the news was leaked somehow.

In one day, not counting the group of guys who were captured before they even got close to the hospital.

There were four people who sneaked into the old Taoist priest's ward.

The first three are all easy to deal with, there are ordinary people and warriors.

But the fourth one was a Taoist priest named Zhang Xiuyong.

This fellow was quite self-aware and well prepared. He probably knew that he dared not use magic in front of the old Taoist priest.

He also carried a pistol with him...

When I arrived, he had already emptied the magazine towards the old Taoist priest.

I captured the man alive and detained him in the Lieyang Tribe.

I was so angry that I went to Tianshi Mansion immediately.

I just want to ask them. I don’t care about their reasons. I just want to know who they are, what channels they used, and how they did it.”

Wen Yan lowered his head slightly and spoke the truth.

Before he could finish his words, he saw two Taoist priests, one on the left and one on the right, grabbing the hot-tempered Taoist priest.

The hot-tempered Taoist priest was in tears, with veins bulging on his forehead and a ferocious expression on his face. Neither of the two Taoist priests could hold him back.

"You bunch of bastards, let me go. I'm going to beat these beasts to death in front of the master! Beasts!"

Wen Yan looked at those people, took out the Heavenly Master's Order, and advised them.

"Master, calm down first.

Even if you later report to the ancestors, hold a grand altar, forcibly deprive him of his Taoist certificates, and leave a mark on his soul.

As a result, no one, including his descendants, will be able to enter the Tianshi Mansion for the rest of their lives.

Then he was expelled from the Tianshi Temple, his surname was abolished, and his name was removed from the family tree.

Afterwards, he called on the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and the Lieyang Tribe to hold an interrogation meeting together.

He was sentenced to death and died from being struck by five thunders.

..."

After Wen Yan said a lot, he changed the subject.

"Then you should calm down now and ask the important questions first.

For example, where did they get the information, who told them, and who colluded with them?

It would be impossible for them to achieve this on their own.

Whose subordinates are those people, who are they colluding with, and who is trying to assassinate the old Taoist priest?

This series of questions is the key.”

Wen Yan held the blood-stained Heavenly Master's Order in his hand and gave the hot-tempered Taoist priest some advice, and he finally calmed down.

"That's right, we must ask these questions first."

The hot-tempered old Taoist threw the blood-stained sword aside, and without waiting for Wen Yan to go up, he grabbed the Taoist who was beaten first and slapped him twice.

"Speak! Will you tell me or not?"

The Taoist priest, whose back teeth had been pulled out, was slapped twice more, and blood was oozing out of his mouth.

"Still not telling me?!"

One of them was being beaten, and the other Taoist priest next to him, whose face was half swollen like a pig's head, spoke quickly.

"I really don't know. I didn't do anything. No matter how much I fight for the position of Heavenly Master, it's not my turn. I... I just heard that the old Heavenly Master went down the mountain to experience tribulations and disappeared. I saw what they seemed to be doing, so I followed them and secretly took a peek."

Before he could finish his words, the hot-tempered Taoist turned his head.

"What do you know?"

"I saw them come into contact with some water demon."

The old Taoist priest had a bad temper and was ready to kill someone when he got angry.

Several people were frightened. This old Taoist priest was really brave.

Wen Yan came over quietly, stretched out a hand and held the old Taoist priest.

“Master, the old Heavenly Master certainly doesn’t want to see you being so unruly. Even if someone among them has committed a capital crime, they still have to follow the normal procedures.

If the dead are expelled from the family tree, there will be controversy.

The dead cannot be judged."

With just a few gentle words, the hot-tempered Taoist priest was calmed down.

"Yes, just kill them. It's too easy for them."

Wen Yan turned around, took the Heavenly Master's Order, and wiped the blood off the Heavenly Master's Order on the other person's body.

"Hurry up and tell me the truth. Don't look at me anymore. I can guarantee that none of you will have any hope of succeeding the position of Heavenly Master.

If we say it now, we can still prevent it from bringing disaster to our descendants. If we say it later, it will be all over.”

"It's... the one in the Yellow River."

"Which one in the Yellow River? Let me be clear. Even if it is the river god, there is more than one in name. Besides these, who else is there? Let me tell you slowly.

Don't think I don't know that there were more than one group of people who wanted to assassinate the old Taoist priest.

There must be more than one of you doing this.

It’s just that some people were close, while others failed on the periphery.

If that's all you know, then I can only say you are complete waste.

Although you have pulled some strings, at least you have the hope of being listed as the successor to the Heavenly Master.

We should not be led by the nose all the time, so let's be sincere.

Just tell me what you want, and I'll kill the two of them. It's a good idea, and you can keep your life too.

If you are beaten to death by me, don't worry, you won't even be qualified to enter the underworld."

Wen Yan had been fanning the flames before, and now he was threatening again.

The person who was hit first, before he could say anything, someone else couldn't hold on any longer.

"I just sent someone to gather information. My people just entered Decheng and were imprisoned because of a fight with monsters. I didn't do anything. How dare I assassinate the old Taoist priest!"

"Who gave you the news? How did you know that the old master was in Decheng?" Wen Yan asked immediately.

"An old acquaintance told me."

"From the Fiery Sun Department?"

"no."

Wen Yan was stunned. Hey, besides the people from the Lieyang Tribe, there are actually other masters?
