Taking drugs makes you invincible, and the alien world is swept up in tears

Chapter 226 Stop! Stop fighting for now

Sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves, spilling onto the bluestone slabs of Longhu Mountain, adding a touch of tranquility and peace to this ancient Taoist temple. However, this tranquility did not last long, as a rapid phone ring broke the peace.

The old Taoist priest sat in a side room of the Taoist temple, holding a cup of cold tea in his hand, his eyes showing a sense of indifference and detachment. However, when the news came from the other end of the phone that "Wu Gensheng is still alive", his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if shocked by an invisible force.

"What? He's still alive?" The old Taoist priest's voice was filled with disbelief, even a hint of disbelief. Wu Gensheng, the name that once stirred the turmoil of the martial arts world and instilled fear in countless people, had unexpectedly resurfaced after disappearing for decades.

The old Taoist priest put down the phone, his heart pounding. He recalled his interactions with Wu Gensheng, the days they'd fought side by side, the fierce battles they'd waged for the righteousness of the underworld, as if it were only yesterday. Wu Gensheng, that aloof and decisive hero, his every appearance unleashed a storm of bloodshed. Yet, even this man, after disappearing for decades, had reappeared in public view.

"Wu Gensheng, what on earth do you want to do?" The old Taoist priest pondered inwardly, his mind constantly replaying Wu Gensheng's past deeds. That turbulent history, those terrifying legends, seemed to foreshadow that Wu Gensheng's return would bring an unprecedented storm.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest's junior brother pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at the old Taoist priest's furrowed brow and guessed something in his mind.

"Senior brother, what's wrong? Is it news about Wu Gensheng?" There was some concern in the junior brother's voice.

The old Taoist nodded and told his junior brother the news on the phone. The junior brother was also shocked after hearing it. He knew Wu Gensheng's power very well, and he knew even more about the turmoil that Wu Gensheng's reappearance would bring to the martial arts world.

"Senior brother, why do you think Wu Gensheng came back this time?" asked the younger brother.

The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Wu Gensheng is an ambitious man. He never gives up his goals easily. This time he came back, he must have a bigger plan."

Upon hearing this, the junior fellow's heart tightened. He knew very well how ruthless Wu Gensheng's methods were, and he knew that once Wu Gensheng went mad, no one would be able to stop him.

"Senior brother, what should we do now?" asked the younger brother anxiously.

The old Taoist priest took a deep breath and said, "First, investigate Wu Gensheng's whereabouts and find out what he wants to do this time. I will contact other sects to discuss countermeasures together."

The junior brother nodded and turned to leave. He knew that this storm was unavoidable and he could only do his best to deal with it.

As night fell, the Taoist temple at Mount Longhu was hushed. The old Taoist priest sat alone in his side room, his mind racing. He recalled his various encounters with Wu Gensheng, all the past grudges and hatreds that seemed to flood back at that moment.

"Wu Gensheng, what exactly do you want to do?" The old Taoist priest pondered inwardly once again. He knew the ruthlessness of Wu Gensheng's methods, and knew that once Wu Gensheng went mad, no one could stop him. However, he also understood that as the head of Longhu Mountain, he had a responsibility to protect this land and its people.

Just then, the junior brother came hurriedly with a serious look on his face.

"Senior brother, I found out some information about Wu Gensheng." said the junior brother.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest immediately perked up. He asked anxiously, "Where is Wu Gensheng? What exactly does he want to do this time?"

The junior fellow apprentice reported the news he had found to the old master. It turned out that Wu Gensheng had been secretly researching a magical technique for years, attempting to use it to resurrect a dead person. This person was Feng Baobao.

"Feng Baobao?" The old Taoist priest was shocked when he heard this. He knew the grudge between Feng Baobao and Wu Gensheng, and he knew what Feng Baobao's death meant to Wu Gensheng.

"Wu Gensheng and the others seem to have mastered some kind of magical technique and want to resurrect Feng Baobao." The junior brother continued, "However, Feng Baobao's soul is not complete. Even if she is resurrected, it will not be her complete self."

The old Taoist priest's heart sank upon hearing this. He was well aware of the strangeness and dangers of the resurrection technique, and knew even more that if this magic got out of control, it would bring unimaginable consequences.

"Did Wu Gensheng come back this time just to revive Feng Baobao's soul?" asked the old Taoist priest.

The junior fellow nodded and said, "That should be the case. Wu Gensheng has always been brooding over Feng Baobao's death. This time he came back, he must have wanted to make up for this regret through the resurrection technique."

The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Wu Gensheng's actions not only violate the moral code of the martial arts world, but are also a blasphemy against life. We cannot let him succeed."

The disciple was heartened upon hearing this. He knew very well how powerful the old Heavenly Master was, and knew that once the old Heavenly Master decided to take action, no one would be able to stop him.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" asked the younger brother.

The old Taoist priest took a deep breath and said, "I will go down the mountain myself to stop Wu Gensheng. You stay on the mountain and take care of Longhu Mountain's affairs for me."

Upon hearing this, the disciple was shocked. He knew the danger of going down the mountain to face Wu Gensheng, and he knew even more how risky the old master was taking. However, he also understood that this was the old master's responsibility as the head of the sect.

"Brother, you must be careful." The junior fellow said, "Wu Gensheng is not someone you can easily deal with."

The old Taoist nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful. You stay on the mountain and keep an eye on Longhu Mountain for me. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

The junior brother bowed deeply, then turned and left.

He knew he couldn't change anything and could only watch it all happen silently.
