The walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the entire underground space looked as if it had been ravaged by a giant beast.
A moment later, all was calm.
Zhang Yunyuan stood there, the bar was now completely empty, with only thick blood plasma covering the walls, ceiling and floor, the pungent, nauseating smell of blood overpowering all the alcohol.
The entire Quanxing Southern Guangdong Liaison Station was torn to pieces, leaving no one alive!
Overnight, in three provinces, three Quanxing nests with different functions were uprooted in three completely different but equally cruel and violent ways, leaving their members dead without a complete corpse!
When the news spread, the surviving members of Quanxing felt not just a chill, but a terrifying fear that shattered their very souls!
They finally understood that Zhang Yunyuan's revenge was a more terrifying form of torture than death!
The goal is to completely erase them, from their physical bodies to the very traces of their existence!
That blood-red ultimatum was no longer a warning, but rather the King of Hell's roll call.
Faced with this naked and unreserved violence, the entire dark side of the supernatural world is left with nothing but trembling and despair!
Chapter 192 An Old Friend's Surprising News, Mei Feng's Thoughts
Zhang Yunyuan's terrifying efficiency in sweeping acupoints with lightning speed was like a sudden magnitude 12 earthquake, turning the dark side of the entire world of supernatural beings upside down.
Those Quanxing demons who usually prided themselves on being lawless and treating human life as worthless experienced for the first time what "divine punishment" truly meant.
The message spread faster than lightning.
When news of the third stronghold being uprooted and all its members being crushed into a bloody pulp reached the temporarily cobbled-together core of Quanxing through various underground channels, an unprecedented, deep-seated panic spread like a plague.
In a secluded courtyard located in the southwestern border region, disguised as an ordinary farmhouse, the atmosphere is so oppressive that it feels like solidified marsh gas, ready to explode at any moment with a spark.
Yuan Tao's face, which always carried a hint of craftsman's arrogance, was now as white as paper, and his hand holding the teacup was trembling as if he had Parkinson's disease, spilling tea all over the table.
Beside him, Xia Liuqing, who usually loved to play dumb and was always cheerful, also dropped all pretense. His old face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and his eyes were full of shock as if he had survived a disaster.
"He's insane... He's a fucking lunatic!"
Yuan Tao slammed the teacup to the ground, unaware that scalding tea had splashed all over his trouser leg. His voice was shrill and distorted with extreme fear.
"He's not human! He's a monster!"
Three provinces overnight!
Hundreds of brothers, not even a single intact bone was left! How can we continue fighting like this?!
Xia Liuqing clicked her teeth, her voice hoarse:
"When I was young, it was the era when Li Muxuan and Bai Huliang were rampant in Quanxing. I had heard of this young master's name when the old sect leader Wugensheng was still alive."
It is said that he is the most hidden trump card of Longhu Mountain, a living ancestor of the same generation as the Old Celestial Master, but who never shows his true colors.
I initially thought it was just a rumor, but I never expected...
Rumor has it, but he's still being conservative!
He looked at the young man sitting in the main seat, who had remained silent the whole time, and his tone carried a hint of coercion:
"Gong Qing! Say something!"
You caused this mess, and now that killing god has specifically named you as the target!
If you don't make a decision soon, all of us old bones will have to die with you!
Shen Chong, the "root of trouble" among the Four Madmen, also pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses unusually solemn:
"Gong Qing, Elder Xia is right. Now is not the time to talk about ideals or ambitions."
Zhang Yunyuan's ultimatum was like the King of Hell's roll call.
If he can't find you when the three-day deadline is up, we'll be the next ones to die.
It is said that he has close ties with Na Du Tong and Tian Xia Hui. In China, who would dare to offend these two forces?
Not to mention his own sect's power, the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain.
The intelligence network spans across China; even a fly can be found.
If he could find those three strongholds, he could definitely find this place.
His words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
Gong Qing remained silent.
He kept his head down, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
Only his hands, clenched into tight fists with knuckles slightly white from excessive force, betrayed his inner turmoil.
He never expected things to escalate to this point.
He calculated everything: people's hearts, timing, and even the Old Master's forbearance.
But they overlooked this unconventional, rule-abiding, and rage-driven ancestor...
In the midst of this suffocating silence, an aged yet still somewhat melodious voice rang out from outside the courtyard gate.
"Gong Qing, you must go."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman with a hunched back, a wrinkled face, and wearing a faded coarse cloth dress, slowly walking in with a cane.
She looked like an ordinary old lady from the countryside, but as soon as she appeared, all the unruly demons present, including Yuan Tao and Xia Liuqing, subconsciously stood up, their faces showing a hint of awe.
The person who arrived was none other than Mei Jinfeng, one of the most senior and mysterious elders in the Quanxing sect, who had once served closely under the former sect leader, Wugensheng.
Mei Jinfeng ignored everyone and walked straight up to Gong Qing, her cloudy eyes, which seemed to see through people's hearts, quietly looking at him.
"Gong Qing, go and turn yourself in."
Her voice was flat, as if she were talking about something trivial: "You can't beat him."
Gong Qing suddenly raised his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes: "The entire Quanxing Sect can't even protect me, Gong Qing?"
“You know absolutely nothing about his strength. Do you even know his history? I met him more than seventy years ago.”
Mei Jinfeng shook her head, walked to the side and sat down, as if recalling some distant past, her voice becoming somewhat distant.
"Seventy-two years ago, before the Jia Shen Rebellion, I was just a little girl following Wu Gensheng around aimlessly."
Back then, heroes emerged in great numbers, and extraordinary people appeared one after another.
But even in that era of brilliant minds, some people remain legends.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the roof and reach towards the distant horizon.
“I remember it was at the Eight Immortals Palace in Chang’an. Wugensheng took me there and insisted on meeting some close friend.”
"The boy was wearing an old, faded Taoist robe, and his hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. But his aura was in no way weaker than Wugensheng's."
A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Mei Jinfeng's eyes.
"At that time, Wugensheng told me that his 'Divine Spirit' had reached its peak, and that he was undoubtedly the number one in the world of supernatural beings."
"I traveled all over the country with him and met countless heroes and great men."
"Which of the thirty-six thieves isn't a renowned and highly skilled master?"
"But Wugensheng was not as polite to them as he was to Zhang Yunyuan."
She paused, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"Later I learned that he was Zhang Yunyuan, the youngest junior brother of the old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain."
A monster that has lived since before the Jia Shen Rebellion.
These people are so powerful that their strength far exceeds our comprehension.
You think the Old Celestial Master is the 'ultimate master,' the ceiling? Haha, that's because you haven't seen real battles between gods.
"Some time ago, Lu Ci from the Lu family and Wang Ai from the Wang family, those two old fogies, joined forces to try and take down that kid named Zhang Chulan. And what happened?"
It is said that he was so frightened away by a single palm strike from this junior advisor.
The two Ten Elders, who stood at the pinnacle of their time, didn't even have the right to make him move an inch.
These two were both renowned masters before the Jia Shen Rebellion, and they've lived peacefully for so many years!
Mei Jinfeng looked at Gong Qing, and for the first time, her aged face revealed an undisguised solemnity.
"If you turn yourself in now, you'll be the only one who dies."
If you don't go, he will wipe every single one of us who is associated with the word 'Quanxing' from this world.
When the time comes, if you don't want to show your face, someone will take you there.
Mei Jinfeng's words were like a final, heavy hammer blow, striking Gong Qing's heart, and the hearts of everyone else as well.
Yuan Tao, Han Dan, Balun, Xia Liuqing, and the others all stared at Gong Qing with fierce eyes.
The meaning is already quite clear.
If you don't want to be dignified, we'll help you be dignified!
Both inside and outside, there are dead ends.
Gong Qing's body trembled violently. The resentment and arrogance that had been lingering in his heart finally crumbled inch by inch in the face of absolute and irresistible power.
He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the emotions in his eyes had faded, leaving only a deathly stillness.
He knew what he should do.
He sent a message out through an extremely secretive channel that even the company couldn't monitor.
The message contained only one sentence: "I am willing to meet Zhang Yunyuan."
Soon, Zhang Yunyuan's reply, through the intelligence network of the World Society and the Ancient Absorbing Pavilion that covered the entire China, spread throughout the world of supernatural beings in a more domineering and unquestionable manner.
The reply is equally simple.
A location, a sentence, and a list.
"Three days later, on the Ganbei Grassland."
"If I do not see Gong Qing in the Ganbei grasslands in three days, I will kill everyone on this list."
That list was none other than all the well-known elders and core members of the Quanxing Society, including Yuan Tao, Xia Liuqing, Mei Jinfeng, and many others.
The release of this blood-red ultimatum shook the entire world of supernatural beings once again.
