198: There's no such thing as magic; believe in science!
Meanwhile, Old Celestial Master also learned about Zhang Lingyu, Ma Xianhong, Lin Yuan, and Lü Liang packing their bags.
Old Celestial Master specifically came to Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, ah, The Ten Elders' meeting just ended. Master temporarily not letting you take the position of The Ten Elders is also for your own good. You mustn't..."
"Master... do you think I'm someone who cares about false fame? The Ten Elders are so intimidating, yet I still killed three, didn't I?"
"I know the domestic situation has been tense recently. This time, I won't be in the country."
Old Celestial Master frowned.
"What? You've caused enough trouble domestically, now you want to go wild outside? How about I buy you a plane ticket to Sakura Country?"
"No... I want to go to Nasen Island."
Old Celestial Master frowned.
"Nasen Island? I heard that girl Lu Linglong is also going to Nasen Island."
"You're not worried about her, are you?"
Lin Yuan smiled after hearing this.
"Master, there's nothing between her and me yet. I'm not just going to Nasen Island for her."
"That kid Zhang Chulan even talked Senior Brother Lingyu into going with him."
As soon as Zhang Chulan was mentioned, Old Celestial Master's eyes immediately changed.
Old Celestial Master always felt a bit indebted to Zhang Huaiyi's grandson.
"Alright then... I won't stop you from doing this. I couldn't stop you even if I wanted to."
"By the way, how are you all going? As far as I know, Nasen Island is quite remote, and there are no direct flights from the country."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly.
"Heh heh, want to go to Nasen Island? That's not difficult at all. Wouldn't it be fine if I just flew there with Senior Brother Lingyu?"
...That afternoon.
At this moment, a host with a cameraman was live-streaming at Tianshi Mansion, showing the daily life of Daoists to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Old Celestial Master was leading everyone on a tour of Tianshi Mansion.
Along the way, the host asked Old Celestial Master:
"Old Celestial Master, recently, people online often say that Daoists all know Daoist Magic and can catch ghosts. Is all this true?"
Old Celestial Master immediately waved his hand.
"What Daoist Magic is there? It's all just folk legends. As people of the new century, we should believe in science! All ghosts and gods are lies."
However, just as Old Celestial Master finished speaking, several young Daoist children ran over from not far away in a panic.
Above their heads, four figures were flying on swords in mid-air, directly passing over everyone's heads, and were coincidentally captured by the program's camera.
"This... this... this is flying on a sword!!?"
"Old Celestial Master... is this really not a Spell?"
Old Celestial Master immediately shook his head vigorously, while constantly complaining about Lin Yuan in his heart.
That brat! He doesn't even know how to restrain himself in public.
"No!! This is absolutely not some Spell!! This is just our recently invented drone-mounted sword."
"Drone technology is so advanced, carrying a person to fly shouldn't be that difficult, right?"
But at this moment, all the viewers in the live broadcast room saw it clearly.
"Mom!! I want to learn this!!"
"Ah, right, right, right! The Daoist Master just said to believe in science, and then he flew away directly on a long sword."
"And he still says he doesn't know Spells!? Who is he trying to fool!?"
...Several days later, Zhang Chulan and his group successfully arrived at Nasen Island after a long journey.
The journey was relatively uneventful.
But once they landed, they didn't know where to go.
Finally, with the guidance of a farmer, they were led to Elijah.
"You all hold on tightly to each other. I'll teleport you in a bit."
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
Teleport them!?
With the authority of the Divine Tree, the King and guards of Nasen Island could move freely within the space of Nasen Island.
Thus, Elijah could perform spatial movement.
But when they arrived at the scene, they found that the so-called Seventeen of the Thirty-Six Thieves was not there.
The guards then informed them that a group of people had forcibly taken Seventeen away, and one of them was named Old Wang, whose ability was very similar to Six Vault Immortal Thief.
Zhang Chulan immediately led his people to intercept Old Wang and his group.
And they actually succeeded in ambushing Old Wang.
Baron, as the Legacy holder of Six Vault Immortal Thief, had exchanged several blows with Old Wang and was already at a disadvantage.
He hadn't eaten people like Old Wang, so the quality of his Six Vault Immortal Thief was inferior to Old Wang's.
Before long, he was beaten back repeatedly.
Old Wang looked at everyone with an arrogant expression.
"Baron, what's the use of your Cultivate time being longer than mine!!!!"
Baron spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cough cough cough, I don't want to end up neither human nor ghost like you."
At the same time, the people Old Wang brought also completely surrounded Zhang Chulan and his group.
Seeing Zhang Chulan falling into a disadvantage.
At this moment, there was a series of sword cries in the sky.
Four dark figures swept over from above the crowd.
"Yo... quite lively, isn't it!?"
As Lin Yuan's extremely domineering and cold voice came, everyone present froze in place.
"Who is it!!! Playing tricks! Come out!"
Old Wang immediately cursed angrily.
Zhang Chulan and his group all showed joyful expressions.
"Hahahahaha! Martial Uncle Lin Yuan is here!"
Accompanied by terrifying thunderclaps exploding in mid-air, a huge thunderous throne appeared above the dark clouds.
Lin Yuan sat on the throne, surrounded by floating lightning, like an emperor.
Zhang Lingyu, Ma Xianhong, and Lü Liang stood majestically on their swords, like heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Hahahahaha! Martial Uncle Lin Yuan!! I missed you so much!!"
"Immortal Master Lin Yuan!! You've finally arrived!!!"
"My goodness!? Lin Yuan!? Wasn't he grounded? How did he get out?"
"You believe he was grounded!? That's all to fool children."
"I'm really impressed! How is he everywhere!!"
At this moment, the faces of those who had abducted Ruan Feng were extremely grim; the duck that was within their grasp had to fly away.
If Lin Yuan hadn't shown up today, they would have definitely succeeded!
As Qu Tong's subordinates, they had known how terrifying Lin Yuan was for a long time. When executing this mission, she had repeatedly emphasized that they must avoid Lin Yuan.
"Run separately!! I refuse to believe it! He can't chase us all!"
With that, several people ran in different directions.
Lin Yuan sat on the throne, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"Heh heh heh... you know nothing about power!!"
Saying this, Lin Yuan slowly raised his hand, and the surrounding lightning immediately transformed into silver snakes, rushing towards those people.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
A series of explosive shots rang out.
Crack! Crack! Crack!!
Accompanied by the rapid spread of electric arcs in the air, several charred bodies had now appeared on the ground.
Qu Tong's subordinates were all instantly dealt with in one encounter.
"Oh my god!! Resolved from a distance!?"
"No... no, they were just killed like that!?"
"How do I feel that Immortal Master Lin Yuan's killing is getting simpler and simpler now?"
Everyone felt a bit of existential doubt; the enemies they had fought for a long time were instantly killed by Lin Yuan in one encounter.
They all suspected that their many years of arduous Cultivate had gone to waste...
