One person: Started at Wudang, got hit on the head by Lu Zu's sword.

Gong Qing instinctively wanted to question everything he had just seen.

After all, Lu Xuan is here. Putting aside everything else, it at least means that all his plans over the years have come to naught.

Finding oneself at the last minute to fail is even more painful than killing Gong Qing outright.

Gong Qing – Acting leader of Quanxing.

As everyone knows, the leader of the Quanxing, an abnormal organization that preys on people, cannot be normal; even if he has to pretend, he has to act out some kind of problem.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous for the leader of a thousand-year-old organization like Quanxing to be a normal person?

There's something unusual about Gong Qing's rise to the position of sect leader; he wants to know the truth of history and find those blank years in history...

Don't get me wrong, this is a Chinese animation. What he's looking for isn't the official historical text, but the truth about the Jia Shen Rebellion and the inside story of the creation of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

After a long investigation, Gong Qing gradually pieced together part of the truth from that year and identified the person who could help him know the whole truth.

That's right, it's the Old Master.

If we could defeat the old Celestial Master and seize his divine mandate...

Gong Qing believed that all the truths he wanted to know were in the Heavenly Master's Scripture.

Then Gong Qing woke up from his dream.

Defeating the Celestial Master is something I can only dream about.

Then, Gong Qing turned his attention to Zhang Huaiyi, after all, Zhang Huaiyi was one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, a master of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Zhang Huaiyi seems to have completely connected the key events of the Jia Shen Rebellion, the Eight Extraordinary Skills, and the Celestial Master's Mansion. Finding Zhang Huaiyi will...

Then Gong Qing woke up from his dream. Zhang Huaiyi was not someone to be trifled with. With his physique, he might be slapped to death by Zhang Huaiyi.

Fortunately, there's always a way out.

After years of lying low, Gong Qing discovered that Tian Jinzhong seemed to be hiding a huge secret, a secret so big that he hadn't dared to sleep for decades, fearing that his sleep-talking would reveal clues from back then.

Gong Qing meticulously investigated the clues about Tian Jinzhong's injury and subsequent disability, finally pinpointing Tian Jinzhong and confirming that he definitely knew the inside story of what happened back then.

Then came Gong Qing's desperate siege of Longhu Mountain, where the Quanxing faction risked their lives.

Failure means the cost of one's life, success means the full truth to be revealed, as for the loss of the entire sect...

Gong Qing has risked his own life, how could he possibly care about the lives of others?

The result! The result.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan appeared out of nowhere. He was so fierce that he slaughtered the Quanxing sect like chickens. The original plan might not have been enough for Lu Xuan to kill.

Fortunately, Wang Zhi was a rich and foolish man, and with Gong Qing's own deception and the public anger of the Quanxing sect after being provoked, Gong Qing's plan to besiege Longhu Mountain was successfully completed.

Nearly 800 Quanxing members besieged Longhu Mountain. Most of the Quanxing main force, along with foreign superhumans and mercenaries hired by Wang Zhihua at great expense, were used to delay Lu Xuan, and the latest equipment was used for constant monitoring.

Shouldn't one's own plan be flawless?

Why is this happening?

Gong Qing thought he was about to succeed.

The result... was just one step away! Just one step away! He was one step away from uncovering the truth about the Jia Shen Rebellion.

Why is Lu Xuan here? Shouldn't he be in the back mountain?

A problem was presented to Gong Qing.

Now how to do?

Option 1: Pretend to be innocent and lie that you have come to deliver a message in order to save your life.

The downside is that he will definitely be hunted down by Quanxing, and if his identity is exposed, he will still die.

Option 2: Bring along Lü Liang, who is equally terrified, and the two of them together will slay Lu Xuan...

Option one sounds utterly ridiculous, and as for option two...

He glanced at Lü Liang, who was trembling with fear.

Gong Qing: "..."

Chapter 137: So... the clown was actually myself?

Gong Qing was still thinking when suddenly the door opened wide, and a suction force pulled Gong Qing and Lü Liang directly into the room.

Lu Xuan gently lowered his hand, about to speak.

Suddenly, Gong Qing kicked the still bewildered Lü Liang to the ground.

Stepping on the blank-faced Lü Liang, Gong Qing was filled with indignation.

"Grand Master, Master Lu, I have captured a Quanxing sorcerer who has been sneaking around outside. I have brought him here for you to see."

That's why people say Gong Qing is a genius; he's quick to adapt to changing circumstances.

Even Lü Liang was completely dumbfounded. Had I been betrayed?

I've always been the one betraying others, but now I'm the one being betrayed?

To betray so quickly and thoroughly, Gong Qing, you truly deserve to be called the acting leader of Quanxing!

Gong Qing silently gave himself a thumbs up, thinking, "I really am clever and resourceful."

Then I discovered...

Something seems off about the atmosphere.

Lu Xuan: "..."

Tian Jinzhong: "..."

Is this atmosphere appropriate?

Seeing Gong Qing's decisiveness and thorough betrayal, Old Master Tian Jinzhong was completely dumbfounded.

Lu Xuandu was impressed by Gong Qing's wit.

"Gong Qing...you truly deserve to be the acting leader of Quanxing!"

"I wonder what Daoist Lu means?"

Gong Qing's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless.

"I'm Xiaoyuzi!"

"Oh~" Gong Qing looked at Lü Liang on the ground and pretended to be stupid.

"So this person's name is Gong Qing?"

Gong Qing had made up his mind to deny it to the death.

Now that his plan has failed and it's impossible to get Tian Jinzhong's memories back, he should focus on saving his own life.

As for Lü Liang...

Gong Qing put his hand behind his back, and a silver needle fell silently, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

He was a disciple of Bi Yuan, a renowned master of the Quanxing sect, and naturally knew the Ghost Gate Acupuncture Technique.

If Lü Liang cooperates, I might spare his life; but if he dares to betray me, then I won't blame him for secretly killing him.

Seeing that Gong Qing was pretending to be stupid, Lu Xuan had no interest in engaging in trash talk with him.

With a raised hand, an invisible force crushed Gong Qing, causing him to collapse to the ground.

With a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds, Gong Qing's bones broke, and he lay on the ground unable to move.

Gong Qing was suddenly startled. Lu Xuan actually attacked him without listening to his explanation?

Did he really confirm his identity? No, even if you did confirm my identity, why did you just take action like that?

Damn it! Shouldn't you argue with me, present evidence to try and prove my identity, and then I refute it point by point?

Wait a minute... Lu Xuan does seem to be that kind of person!

How come I overlooked this before?

Gong Qing suddenly felt a familiar sense of bewilderment.

This feeling had been present ever since the start of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, making Gong Qing feel like a college student who was always half asleep, and he was in a daze all day long.

It's like... it's like being shrouded in a halo of idiocy.

Then, Lu Xuan's voice rang out, instantly chilling Gong Qing to the bone, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Gong Qing, I have no interest in playing house with you."

Have you been feeling like the world is unreal lately, like you've forgotten a lot of things? Do you feel like you're dreaming?

"because……"

You've always been in my dreams!

Lu Xuan's voice was so flat that it had no inflection, but to Gong Qing it sounded as terrifying as a demon from the deepest hell demanding his life.

Crack! A sound of something shattering, not existing in the real world, rang out.

That was something Lu Xuan had placed on the heads of all the Quanxing demons on Longhu Mountain using the Yellow Millet Technique—a halo of brain damage.

That's right! Lu Liang's complaints about a group of Quanxing members openly gathering in the back mountains of Longhu Mountain a while ago were true. Everyone in the Quanxing group present was labeled as brain-dead.

Its function is just as its name suggests, making all the members of the Quanxing sect ignore reality like idiots, rushing to their deaths just like the brainless villains in novels.

Otherwise, the Quanxing sect would have been scared away long ago. Why would they stay on Longhu Mountain and foolishly come to their deaths?

Lu Xuan essentially put a "brain-dead halo" on the heads of every Quanxing member, and with the dream shrouding Longhu Mountain as a place where one could only enter but not leave, he left all the Quanxing members who entered Longhu Mountain on the mountain.

All they were waiting for was tonight's grand stage performance, where Gong Qing would take the stage to stage the epic drama of "Quanxing's Siege of Longhu Mountain".

Gong Qing suddenly realized what was happening.

I just realized what stupid things I've been doing lately.

After learning of Lu Xuan's prowess, he actually planned to harm Lu Xuan?

Meanwhile, his Quanxing subordinates completely ignored Lu Xuan's performance at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and followed him like fools to deal with Lu Xuan.

Only now did Gong Qing realize how foolish his behavior had been. Thinking back to how he had openly convened a meeting of the Quanxing sect on the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, Gong Qing was so embarrassed he wanted to dig his toes into the ground.
