Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 102: Fierce Fire Cooking Oil

When the latest issue of "Canglang Anthology" was published, Zhu Wuyao had already returned to Zhaixinglou.

The fate of "the Immortal Venerable's First Disciple" left behind only caused a huge uproar in Beixuan City.

As mentioned last time, Zhou Zhi returned to his hometown in glory.

His second uncle, who was supposedly an immortal, turned out to be Zhou Zhi. He even wanted to bring his grandson to pay him a visit, but was ridiculed on the spot and lost all face.

The mysterious little box that appeared at the end further piqued the curiosity of countless people.

As Zhou Zhi's cultivation level gradually improved, many readers vaguely sensed that the finale was approaching.

But I never expected it to come so suddenly.

With the hanging of the sign at Mohen Bookstore, the content on the sign announced the end of the story of "The Immortal Venerable's First Disciple".

Regardless of whether it was praised or criticized before, this novel that stirred up a storm is now coming to an end, so we should at least buy it and read it to send Zhou Zhi off on his final journey.

Even Zhang Shun, who had always been reluctant and speechless, lined up and finally managed to snag a copy.

Although Zhang Shun disliked Wu Yu, he was also a writer of storybooks and submitted manuscripts. In addition, in order to provide better criticism and guidance, he actually submitted every issue of "Canglang Anthology".

Literati look down upon each other.

Even though Zhang Shun disliked Wu Yushu's books, he had to admit that he had never seen such an addictive genre of storybooks before.

He rescued a beggar who turned out to be a sword immortal, and was treated differently by a mysterious elder in the library. He helped a powerful figure collect his remains and was then taught the Demon-Slaying Heart Sutra...

It has little substance.

But it has a kind of addictive magic.

No matter how unwilling Zhang Shun was, he couldn't lie through his teeth and say it wasn't attractive.

Therefore, when criticizing her, people would only say that her words were vulgar and unworthy of respect, that she only knew how to please readers, that she had no literary qualities, no educational value, and that even her thoughts were very shallow.

Opening the "Collection of Canglang's Writings," the first story, unsurprisingly, is about the Immortal Venerable's first disciple.

In the past, when Wu Yu portrayed the character Zhou Zhi, although he would occasionally write about his youthful spirit and chivalrous acts, the way he handled things became more mature and steady as the story progressed.

In the beginning, if you encounter any injustice, you should immediately stand up for it.

After experiencing many things, Zhou Zhi learned not to act impulsively when faced with his master being wrongly accused of demonic possession.

Instead, they first feigned compliance, then seized the opportunity to explore the source of the demonic energy.

This is about the character's growth.

However, in the opening of this piece, when the author is speechless, he describes a Zhou Zhi who has reverted to the impetuousness of a youth.

In her writing, although Zhou Zhi never forgot the purpose of his trip, his actions subtly revealed a targeting of the Zhou family.

This delightful "returning home in glory" scene, like oil on a hot plate, propelled Zhou Zhi's reputation to its peak, with countless people around him fawning over him.

Zhou Zhi became the pillar of stability.

He became the savior in the eyes of countless people.

They called Zhou Zhi the new generation of sword immortal, firmly believing that with him here, the city's peace would surely be protected.

The worship of Zhou Zhi was in full swing.

The fervor was so intense that it instilled a vague sense of unease.

Although the plot of returning home in glory and slapping the enemy in the face is very satisfying, those around Zhou Zhi, after learning about his personal feud with the Zhou family, felt that his behavior was somewhat strange.

I always felt that Zhou Zhi wanted to take the opportunity to get revenge and frame the Zhou family.

Isn't this a form of personal revenge?

As a reader, I naturally know that the Zhou family is not simple.

However, the characters in the story are unaware of this.

Even Zhou Zhi himself did not have conclusive evidence.

But none of that matters, because the voices of admiration for him can drown out the occasional doubts.

In such an atmosphere, it would seem somewhat disappointing for anyone to say they don't admire Zhou Zhi.

Zhang Shun was somewhat surprised and murmured:

"Could it be that wisp of demonic energy hidden within Zhou Zhi's soul..."

He wasn't the only one who thought of this.

Granny Feng in Huicaotang was also reading the storybook written by Zhu Wuyao.

But she thought about things much more deeply.

This part of the plot barely touches on Zhou Zhi's inner thoughts. It leaves one wondering whether he has truly succumbed to temptation or is simply playing along.

That day, a demon attacked under cover of night, and it was the first time that the people of the city had witnessed the true power of the Moon Appreciation Sword Technique.

The thin blade, like moonlight plated with silver, split into countless illusory shadows, like the bright moon hanging down, pure and cold.

Where the moonlight shines, crimson flowers bloom.

That was a powerful and ruthless sword immortal.

When Sui Zhi saw this passage, the image of that serene yet alluring scene instantly flashed into her mind.

It was as if I could see a sword immortal, a lone figure with a sword, under the moonlight as pure as silver gauze, capable of protecting an entire region.

She held her breath and continued looking down.

But in the next instant, my heart clenched.

With extremely calm and restrained strokes, Mr. Silent wrote a sentence—

"He was too powerful. He protected the entire city single-handedly. He was so powerful that some people began to feel fear."

Sui Zhi slowly opened her eyes wide.

She immediately understood that when Mr. Wuyu wrote "certain people," he was not referring to the enemy, but rather to certain people in the city who were under Zhou Zhi's protection.

no……

Zhou Zhi was once a carefree young master, riding horses and enjoying the spring breeze. Even during the most desolate years in the sect, he simply kept quiet and kept company with books.

Zhang Shun, however, was quite understanding.

If he discovers that the safety of the entire city rests in the hands of one person, and there is no one else who can restrain or counter him, he will become somewhat wary.

This person may be kind and good now, but what if one day they change their nature?

Are you suggesting that we should entrust our lives to the character and mood of others?

In particular, this speechless description of Zhou Zhi makes him seem somewhat strange.

This is even more worrying.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not necessarily your friend; they could also be your enemy.

This statement is true.

Zhang Shun could clearly sense the sinister intentions behind the city defense battle.

But he found it didn't work!

Zhou Zhi himself didn't seem to realize that anything was wrong; he was only focused on finding the source of the demonic energy.

At the victory celebration banquet, at the height of his fame, which was also the moment when the unexpected happened—

The crowd was drinking and making merry, their toasts flowing freely. They were praising Zhou Zhi's strength and achievements, as if he were the most amazing and unique person in the world.

Suddenly, Zhou's second uncle burst into the banquet hall.

This disrupted the harmonious atmosphere.

He was in a terrible state, as if he had been chased and fled all the way to the banquet.

Pointing at Zhou Zhi, he opened his mouth and said:

"You've all been fooled by this fame-seeking scoundrel. He's the biggest demon. If Zhou Zhi doesn't die, demons will keep appearing!"

Everyone was shocked and puzzled.

Uncle Zhou continued:

"You all know that our Zhou family has a grudge against him, but you don't know that this enmity arose because our Zhou family discovered the secret that his parents were possessed by demons!"
