Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

The combination of Mount Luofu's incredibly high proportion of destiny and the rumors of the immortality secret was a complete disaster.

Whether Mount Luofu truly holds the secret to immortality is no longer important. When everyone believes it does, the truth becomes irrelevant because no one cares about it anymore.

In their eyes, compared to the so-called truth, they care more about this possibly false secret of immortality. Even if they can't obtain it themselves, they absolutely can't let it fall into the hands of others.

As long as there's even a slight possibility that Mount Luofu holds the secret to immortality, countless people will rush towards him like moths to a flame.

With Zhang Zhiwei's reminder, Lu Jin quickly realized this. A wry smile appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared, and Lu Jin's expression became firm and filled with killing intent.

"During the Jia Shen Rebellion, because of the San Yi Sect and my family, I missed the opportunity to save my friend Zheng Zibu. But this time, unless I die, I will never allow anyone to harm Luo Fu!"

In Lu Jin's heart, Luo Fu was no longer just the innate anomaly who had proactively sought him out to inherit the San Yi Sect's lineage.

Past experiences and inner obsessions overlapped with Luo Fu's current situation in Lu Jin's mind.

In Lu Jin's heart, Luo Fu was like the sect he had once wanted to save but was powerless to, and like Zheng Zibu, whom he had missed the opportunity to save.

This is why Lu Jin cared so much about Luo Fu in such a short period of time, even risking his life for him.

Essentially, Lu Jin wasn't just doing it for Luo Fu as a disciple but to fulfill his own obsessions.

He was even willing to sacrifice his own life for Luo Fu.

Even though he didn't know the reason, Zhang Chulan envied Luo Fu for having such a trustworthy elder who was willing to risk his life for him.

"Master, please don't do this," Luo Fu quickly refused. "I truly don't possess the so-called immortality secret. I believe that as long as I can prove this, then with the official's or the Ten Elders' explanation, everything will be fine."

"You brat, stop pretending to be so naive," Zhang Zhiwei glared at Luo Fu and said, "We old guys have all experienced the Jia Shen Rebellion. The Eight Wonders alone were enough to make those jackal-like guys chase after them relentlessly, let alone the fact that you supposedly possess the secret to immortality. Don't say such empty words about explaining things clearly. Do you think anyone will actually believe you if you explain?"

After a slight pause, Zhang Zhiwei said decisively, "Wrong, they won't believe you. Instead, they'll assume you're hiding something."

"Yes!" Zhang Chulan seemed to be genuinely moved by the situation and couldn't help but say, "The world of Outworlders is different from the world of ordinary people. They're afraid of people who are different from them. If you're too good or too strong, they won't feel at ease. They'll suppress you and alienate you. Only when you're similar to them will they accept you comfortably. At that time, they won't care whether you're good or bad. So, the most carefree people in this world are those experts who know how to disguise themselves to be like everyone else."

Zhang Chulan's words reached Zhang Zhiwei's ears, causing him to say, "Is that how the big-eared thief taught you, his grandson?"

Instantly snapping back to reality, Zhang Chulan smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just trying to enlighten Tiger, after all, he's in a much worse situation than us inheritors of the Eight Wonders."

"You're not much better," Zhang Zhiwei glared at Zhang Chulan in annoyance and then suddenly smiled strangely. "Kid, before the Luo Tian Dajiao started, you seemed to be eager for others to know about your relationship with Luo Fu, hinting to others that your grandfather thought highly of him. Why, are you regretting it now?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhang Chulan's face immediately turned bitter.

How could he have imagined that such a bombshell would suddenly explode on Zhang Luofu?

The secret to immortality?

Was that something an orphan like him could get involved in?

But to make matters worse, in order to get Zhang Luofu to help him share the pressure from the Qi Body Source Technique, he had publicly declared how close he was to Zhang Luofu in front of countless people.

Now, it seemed like this relationship couldn't be shaken off even if he wanted to.

Zhang Chulan even suspected that if he waited a few more decades, he and Zhang Luofu might become the new Thirty-Six Thieves, creating a Yi Wei Rebellion that surpassed the Jia Shen Rebellion.

However, these thoughts were no longer important.

The key was how to deal with the trouble caused by this so-called secret of immortality.

This news first came from Quanxing, which meant that concealment was impossible. Perhaps, this news had already spread throughout the entire Outworlder world.

"Senior Brother," Tian Jinzhong hesitated and said, "Do you think these people will take advantage of the Luo Tian Dajiao to do something to Luo Fu?"

Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and then suddenly smiled wryly, "Junior Brother, do you think the Luo Tian Dajiao can still have a complete ending after this news spreads?"

"Um... Grand Master, Grand Master Jinzhong," Zhang Chulan raised his hand and said, "I think, if there's really no other way, maybe we can ask the company for help. After all, the backing of All Things Company is the country. Even if those Outworlders are daring, they can't possibly confront the country head-on, right?"

"That is indeed a solution!" After nodding, Zhang Zhiwei changed the subject and said, "Although you're a member of the company, I think you probably have limited knowledge about the company."

"Grand Master, does the company also have shady secrets?" Zhang Chulan asked in surprise.

"Not really," Zhang Zhiwei said, "I just don't know if you know about a place in the company called the Dark Fortress?"

"Dark Fortress? What's that?" Zhang Chulan's eyes revealed pure ignorance.
