I changed the world.

Page 292

The sky was already showing the first hint of dawn. Outside the Celestial Master's Mansion, on a parking lot that had been cleared out to serve as a temporary helipad, Zhang Lianchuan, the eldest son of the current Celestial Master Zhang, was waiting with a group of Taoist priests. The group would occasionally look up at the sky as if gazing into the distance.

About fifteen minutes later, a clear rumbling sound came from the sky. The sound grew louder and louder, and all the Taoist priests looked into the distance at the same time. They saw a small black dot approaching from the clouds on the horizon.

The small dot arrived extremely quickly, soon reaching above the crowd. By then, everyone present could clearly see that it was a small tiltrotor jet painted with the imperial dragon emblem.

The strong airflow from the jet engine caused the robes of the Taoist priests below to flutter. In order to make room for the plane to land, the Taoist priests began to retreat.

The jet circled above them once, its engines began to spin, gradually adjusting to a hovering position before slowly descending.

The plane came to a stop on the temporary tarmac, and the canopy at the rear of the plane was immediately lowered. Qian Bushi, the director of the Imperial Religious Affairs Bureau, walked quickly out of the cabin accompanied by several officials.

Upon seeing Zhang Lianchuan approaching with a smile, Qian Bushi's face unusually lacked a smile. He quickened his pace and stepped forward, first bowing to Zhang Lianchuan in greeting. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he solemnly said, "Supervisor Zhang, please do not stand on ceremony. This matter is extremely urgent. I have come with His Majesty's decree to see the Celestial Master immediately."

Zhang Lianchuan had received the information in advance. In fact, he was a little stunned when he first received the information. After all, the old Celestial Master was still on the mountain and had not returned. At this moment, he suddenly received the news that Director Qian of the Imperial Religious Affairs Bureau had rushed over overnight with His Majesty's edict. His first reaction was that he was caught off guard.

In particular, unlike usual, this time Director Qian did not arrange a time in advance for his visit, but instead took the royal private plane directly to Danding Mountain. The total preparation time given to Danding Mountain was only a little over an hour. In Zhang Lianchuan's opinion, it would be too late to call his father back overnight.

The detailed information that quickly followed made Zhang Lianchuan immediately understand why Director Qian had acted that way. However, this information only deepened his unease, since he had just parted ways with his father the previous morning and knew perfectly well why the Old Master had gone to Zhebi Peak.

Chapter 567 Father, have you become an immortal?

Knowing their own situation, the Celestial Master's Mansion knew exactly what they could do to deal with the monster far away in Fengsui Fort.

Left with no other choice, he could only notify his father first. Fortunately, he was able to get through on the phone. Unexpectedly, after learning the general situation, the old master did not show any concern. He simply asked him to convey the message and wait for his return before hanging up the phone.

Zhang Lianchuan was completely bewildered, thinking to himself: Return? How can I return? It's too late, Father!

He even began to wonder if his father was too old to hear him clearly, and considered whether he should call his father again to clarify things...

But before he could dial the number again, he witnessed a scene in his study that he would never forget:

The space in front of him suddenly rippled like water. At first, Zhang Lianchuan thought that his blood was rushing to his head and his eyes were blurry, so he subconsciously rubbed his eyes. However, after that, he saw his father step out of the void, wearing that familiar Taoist robe, and appear in front of him out of thin air.

"Father...Father, you...you've become an immortal?!" Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Lianchuan was speechless for a moment, feeling that his entire worldview had been greatly impacted. He was stunned for a long time before he stammered out.

Previously, although I had heard my father talk about what Guan Zeping's team encountered and saw on Zhebi Peak, and even seen the video that looked like a natural disaster, some things always felt a bit distant when heard from others, especially these strange and supernatural rumors, which always sounded like unreal stories.

However, at this moment, when his father actually appeared out of thin air in front of him, Zhang Lianchuan finally felt that this world seemed to be different from what he had previously known!

"What nonsense are you spouting..." When Zhang Sicheng appeared in the room, he was momentarily dazed, subconsciously looking around as if still recalling what had just happened. It wasn't until he heard his eldest son's question that he came to his senses, immediately frowning, his face darkening, and he reprimanded him.

However, seeing his son's speechless expression, he could understand, so he went straight to a round-backed chair and sat down, then said, "The situation is urgent, and His Majesty's envoy is about to arrive, so I will return first."
