Chapter 303 The Net - Lan Du Shou!
At the foot of Zixia Mountain, a cool morning breeze rustled through the grass and trees.
At the entrance to the hidden tunnel, a few rays of sunlight dappled down, illuminating the figures.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves broke the silence, and in the distance, dust billowed as several black-clad knights galloped toward them.
Their black clothes were embroidered with the symbol of a net, an intricate web pattern that symbolized the most mysterious and powerful organization in Cangzhou today.
The leader was none other than Lan Dushou, one of the leaders of the Luo Wang organization that Su Ye had summoned earlier.
He was dressed in a black robe, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.
His appearance added a touch of solemnity to the originally tranquil Zixia Mountain.
Lan Dushou looked up at the hidden, dilapidated tunnel halfway up the mountain, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
He waved for everyone to stop, then walked slowly forward alone to the entrance of the tunnel.
At this moment, the orphans of the Zixia Taoist sect were gathered in the tunnel, their faces solemn and their expressions sorrowful.
The sudden sound of footsteps broke the heavy atmosphere, and everyone looked warily towards the outside of the tunnel.
Lan Dushou pushed open the door and entered. His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on the sect leader's second son—that young senior brother.
"I am Lan Dushou from Luowang. I greet you young heroes."
He smiled slightly and bowed respectfully.
An Zixiang frowned as he looked at the uninvited guest, a strange sense of vigilance rising in his heart.
"So it's the leader of the Net of Heaven who has graced us with his presence. May I ask what brings you here?"
He stood up and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
"I have come here hoping that you will join the Net and work together to achieve great things."
Lan Duji said it casually.
His voice echoed through the valley, as if possessing an irresistible force.
These words immediately caused an uproar inside the tunnel.
The orphans of Zixia looked at each other, a strange sense of tension rising in their hearts.
Although they had heard of the Net, they never imagined that they would one day have any dealings with it.
"I know you may have some misunderstandings about the Net."
"But please believe that we are not indiscriminate killers."
"In this chaotic world, only great power can protect oneself and those around us."
"By joining the Net, you will gain unprecedented power and opportunities."
Lan Dushou seemed to sense their hesitation and unease. He smiled slightly and continued.
"Although our Zixia Daoist Sect has suffered this great calamity, we will never collude with you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a young disciple of Zixia retorted angrily.
In the eyes of these Jianghu forces, even the renowned Xuanjing Division of the Great Qian Dynasty, which has been famous for hundreds of years, is regarded as a lackey of the imperial court and is despised.
Not to mention assassin organizations like Luo Wang.
Moreover, his master was the son of the Cloud King, who was one of the three kings of different surnames, along with the Night King.
That's even more impossible!
Although Su Ye and Ye Wang have absolutely no connection.
But the disciples of the Zixia Taoist sect, filled with grief and indignation, don't care about any of that now.
Moreover, they now possess most of the inheritance of the Zixia Taoist sect.
If they want, they can go to the Taoist headquarters.
Out of consideration for their shared Taoist heritage, they entrusted a portion of their teachings to some highly respected old Taoist masters for "safekeeping."
Relying on the status of the Hundred Schools of Thought and Taoism in the martial arts world and even the Tianwu Continent.
It's still possible to save their lives.
After all, they came all the way to the Taoist headquarters for help, so the Zixia Taoist sect was wiped out.
They then went to the headquarters of the Taoist sect, intending to wipe out their entire family.
That would be a bit impolite.
Isn't this a slap in the face to Taoism on the spot?
Oh... fellow orphans of the same Taoist lineage, the world created by Mu Jin Bai Yi is all in "I Summon Famous Generals of All History in Another World." They're practically begging to come and pay protection money.
They were all wiped out at your Taoist headquarters.
How can anyone tolerate this?
At that time, Yuzhou might become a gathering place for all sorts of old Taoist monsters who would block the gate.
After all, those old monsters of Taoism are known for their longevity and profound cultivation.
Sometimes, even their own people thought that a certain senior figure had quietly passed away in some corner.
However, just when people were about to forget about it.
He came back, and his cultivation level was ridiculously high!
Therefore, all forces on the Tianwu Continent are extremely wary of Taoism.
This is completely undetectable!
It's impossible to see through the true strength of Taoism, and who knows which inconspicuous corner might suddenly reveal another old Taoist monster.
This feeling of being unable to control the situation made various forces both awe and fear of Taoism, while also feeling helpless about it.
Of course, even the Taoists themselves might not be able to see through their own true nature.
Because they didn't know which hidden corner of the Tianwu Continent would produce another ancient Taoist monster!
This is precisely where the unique charm of Taoism lies.
They deeply understand the ways of heaven and earth and pursue harmonious coexistence with nature.
His cultivation level and lifespan both surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, the orphans of Zixia are not worried about having nowhere to go.
"Commendable courage, but too naive."
"Now that you are all alone and helpless, how will you survive in this chaotic world?"
"Are we just going to stand by and watch ourselves become lambs to the slaughter?"
Lan Dushou wasn't angry. He glanced at the disciple indifferently and said...
It's true that Taoism will protect them, but that only ensures their safety.
As for the later reconstruction of the Zixia Taoist sect and revenge against the Night King, etc.
Then there's nothing we can do to help.
Lan Dushou's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the hearts of Zixia's orphans.
They knew that Lan Dushou was right; having lost their teachers and fellow disciples, they could no longer survive alone in this chaotic world.
"The Zixia Taoist Sect is now defunct in name only. You all possess extraordinary skills; are you truly content to waste your time in the remote mountains of Taoism?"
"Joining the Net will not only allow you to serve as the king's vanguard, but also enable you to fully utilize your talents and martial prowess."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lan Duji continued.
An Zixiang took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger.
He knew that although Lan Dushou's words were harsh, they were not without reason.
The Zixia Taoist sect no longer exists, and these orphans truly need to find a new home.
However, is joining an organization like Luo Wang really what they want?
"Of course, we at Luo Wang are not the kind of people who force others to do things against their will."
"If any of you do not wish to join, we will not force you."
"However, in this chaotic world, it is probably not easy to remain unscathed."
Why don't you all think this over carefully?
Lan Dushou seemed to sense his senior brother's hesitation, and he continued.
After saying that, Lan Du Shou turned and left, leaving the room in silence.
His words were like a seed that took root and sprouted in the hearts of the orphans of the Zixia Taoist sect.
They knew it was a difficult choice, a choice that would determine their future.
As Lan Dushou emerged from the tunnel, he listened to the whispers inside and simply smiled faintly.
Everything was under his control.
These orphans of the Zixia Taoist sect will understand sooner or later.
In this chaotic world, how can one survive and even seek revenge against the Night King?
That requires relying on great power.
And the net is exactly what they need to rely on.
