Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 535 The Notorious Person

Before the morning mist had dissipated, the stone steps of Longhu Mountain had been worn smooth and shiny by the people coming and going.

Starting from the memorial archway at the foot of the mountain and extending all the way to the Shangqing Palace halfway up the mountain, this bluestone road is packed with people.

The bluestone road was crowded with pilgrims carrying incense sticks and tourists carrying luggage.

Although these people came with different purposes, they all had expressions of pious reverence on their faces.

A pilgrim held up the fortune sticks he had just drawn and asked for divination from a Longhushan disciple wearing a Taoist robe.

There were also tourists holding paper and pen, chasing the little Taoist boy sweeping the floor to ask about the wonders of the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, and the tip of the pen spread out ink balls on the paper.

As one of the three major immortal gates of Yongguo, the atmosphere of Longhu Mountain is much stronger than that of the other two immortal gates, Xiaoyao Mountain and Shu Mountain.

Xiaoyao Mountain seeks freedom and ease, and hates being entangled in worldly affairs. Therefore, it is hidden in the South China Sea, making it difficult for even those who yearn for it to see its true appearance with their own eyes.

As for Shushan, there is no need to mention it.

Everyone in Mount Shu has only one thought in mind, and that is to slay demons and eliminate evil.

If you encounter demons causing trouble and need them to subdue them, they will definitely go there with pleasure.

But if you just want to go to the mountain to pray for peace, or to seek marriage and wealth, then they will not welcome you.

Moreover, the murderous aura of Mount Shu was too strong, and the sword intent soared into the sky, making ordinary people dare not even approach the mountain gate, let alone go up the mountain.

In comparison, the atmosphere of Longhu Mountain is particularly different.

The memorial archway at the foot of the mountain is magnificent, and the three characters "Longhu Mountain" written on it are vigorous and powerful. It is said that they were bestowed by the current emperor!

Walking up the bluestone steps step by step, when you reach the mountainside, you will find that this place seems to be divided into two halves by an invisible line.

In front is Shangqing Palace, where the disciples of Mount Longhu usually hold their morning prayers, and it is also a holy place for pilgrims to burn incense and worship.

The Tianshi Mansion in the back is a place that only disciples of Longhu Mountain are allowed to approach.

Li Zhi, Liang Feng and the other two walked along the bluestone steps all the way to Shangqing Palace.

They did not disturb anyone and quietly came to the outside of the Tianshi Mansion.

Although the gate of Tianshi Mansion is open, in order to prevent pilgrims from accidentally entering on weekdays, Longhu Mountain specially arranges a little Taoist boy to sweep the floor and guard it.

The little Taoist boy was sweeping the dust and fallen leaves at the door when he suddenly saw Li Zhi and four others walking into the Tianshi Mansion without any scruples.

The little Taoist boy thought Li Zhi and the others were pilgrims or tourists who had strayed into the place by mistake, so he quickly stepped forward to stop them. He said politely, "Dear donors, this is the Tianshi Mansion. We do not welcome outsiders. Please leave."

Liang Feng glanced at the little Taoist boy calmly and said, "We are from the Night Tour Division. Didn't you people from Longhu Mountain ask me to kowtow and offer you tea? I'm here now!"

Although the little Taoist boy was not clear about the grudge between Liang Feng and Longhu Mountain, he could hear the bad intention in Liang Feng's words. He quickly bowed his head and apologized, then ran into the Tianshi Mansion without stopping to call for help.

Not long after, several people suddenly rushed out of the Tianshi Mansion, each of them looking very aggressive.

Liang Feng looked carefully and recognized the person walking in front at a glance. He was the one who had snatched the blood-sucking vine before and the one who had humiliated him.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

However, before Liang Feng could open his mouth to speak, the man had already burst into laughter: "Haha, I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you!"

As he spoke, the man glanced at Li Zhi, Zhang Lang, and He Qiao with disdain. A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said sarcastically, "What? Still looking for help? Are you planning to rob us in Longhu Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Feng was so angry that she trembled all over. Her eyes widened in anger as she pointed at the man and shouted, "You stole that bloodthirsty vine from me!"

However, the man was completely unfazed by Liang Feng's anger. Instead, the smile on his face became even more playful, and he said lightly, "Since I snatched it, it's naturally mine. Don't you understand this principle?"

Liang Feng was so angry that she almost fainted. She opened her mouth to continue arguing, but Li Zhi stopped her with his hand.

Li Zhi's face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at the man with a sharp gaze. He said slowly, "May I ask your name, sir?"

After hearing this, the man shifted his attention away from Liang Feng. He looked Li Zhi up and down, thinking to himself that Li Zhi looked a little unfamiliar.

After all, he knew almost all the members of Hanzhou Yeyousi Guishu, but he had no impression of Li Zhi in front of him.

However, despite some doubts in his heart, the man did not take Li Zhi seriously.

After all, this is Longhu Mountain, his territory, so he naturally would not be afraid of a stranger like Li Zhi.

He casually patted his sleeves before speaking slowly, "I am Zhang Yuannian, the son of Zhang Tianshi! Who are you? How dare you intervene in this matter?"

When Li Zhi heard the name Zhang Yuannian, he knew who this person was.

Although this man is just a bastard's son, as the son of Zhang Tianshi, his status is extremely noble. No wonder he dares to provoke the Night Patrol Division.

Li Zhi nodded and replied, "Night Patrol Division C, Li Zhi!"

Zhang Yuannian frowned slightly upon hearing this. He naturally knew that the Bing clan was in charge of Leizhou, so he felt a little strange and couldn't help but mutter, "Bing clan? Why did they come to Hanzhou? Li Zhi? Why does this name sound familiar..."

Just as Zhang Yuannian was thinking to himself, a disciple from Mount Longhu beside him seemed to suddenly remember something. His face changed and he hurried forward and leaned over to whisper in Zhang Yuannian's ear.

Zhang Yuannian's face changed as he listened to the disciple's words. His eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at Li Zhi in disbelief, shouting, "You are the Li Zhi who killed his master and disobeyed him!"

Li Zhi felt helpless, as he knew that in the cultivation world of Yongguo, he would never be able to get rid of the reputation of a master-killer.

Zhang Yuannian stared at Li Zhi intently with undisguised disdain on his face, and said bluntly, "You're a notorious person, and you still have the nerve to stand up for others?"

Li Zhi naturally didn't look happy when someone pointed at his nose and said something like that. His face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at Zhang Yuannian intently. He said in a deep voice, "You insulted my colleagues in the Night Patrol Department. Naturally, I have to intervene in this matter!"

Zhang Yuannian heard this and a sneer of disdain appeared on his lips. He glanced at Li Zhi and said contemptuously, "Just you? Are you worthy?"

However, before he could finish his words, Li Zhi suddenly moved.

Li Zhi's figure flashed, as fast as a ghost, and the black sword in his hand was drawn out without knowing when.

The sword was completely black, covered with scarlet eyes, and exuded a strange aura.

Li Zhi held the black sword and rushed towards Zhang Yuannian like a gust of wind!
