"How dare that fortune teller act so recklessly?"

The middle-aged man spoke both excitedly and fearfully.

"No..."

Elder Song shook his head and said in a low voice, "Half an hour ago, Liu called me, saying someone set fire to the Spirit Treasure Hall of Shangqing Tao."

"The Daoists from Shangqing Tao chased after the arsonists, but only caught one out of the four."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said, "Who would be so bold as to dare set fire to Shangqing Tao?"

Recently, Abe and his group's challenge up the mountain almost confirmed that Shangqing Tao harbored an 'Immortal.'

Ordinary people are too afraid to even approach, so how could they dare to set a fire?

There were four arsonists, so could it be...

"The ones who got away aren't Abe and his group of four, are they?"

The middle-aged man suddenly realized.

"Correct!"

Elder Song nodded and continued, "The arsonist captured by Shangqing Tao was one of those who went up the mountain with Abe."

"But that's not the important part; what's important is..."

Here, Elder Song paused slightly, then sighed and said, "That Immortal has acted again!"

"This is a video that Liu filmed at the scene."

"Take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Song picked up the phone on the coffee table and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man quickly took the phone and opened the video.

In the video, the fire blazed, voices were chaotic, and many Daoists were desperately fighting the fire.

But due to the wooden structure, the fire did not subside; instead, it continued to grow.

At this moment, a black cloud mysteriously appeared in the sky.

Soon after, raindrops the size of beans fell, quickly extinguishing the flames.

After watching the video, the middle-aged man was stunned.

Tonight, the weather was very clear, with not a cloud in the sky apart from the moon.

How could it possibly rain in such weather?

The YL Hotel is less than two kilometers away from the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

If it rained on Dragon Tiger Mountain, even if it didn't rain here, they should see dark clouds.

But when he went out to buy cigarettes, he saw nothing!

"Was this rain summoned by the fortune teller?"

The middle-aged man's voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke.

His emotions were incredibly complex.

Within them, there was fear, shock, disbelief, and a trace of uncontrollable excitement.

"It seems so."

Elder Song nodded slightly and replayed the video with a gentle swipe of his finger.

"Did you notice how special this rain was?"

"The rainfall only covered the burning Spirit Treasure Hall, leaving the surrounding areas completely dry."

Elder Song said solemnly.

The middle-aged man listened and watched carefully again.

Sure enough, as Elder Song had said, the rain only fell on the burning area.

None of the onlookers even got wet.

In other words, it was as if the rain was tailor-made for the fire, not a drop more or less.

"It seems this Immortal is even more remarkable than we imagined!"

Elder Song said gravely, "Not only is he proficient in the Thunder Technique and can Condense Clouds into Words, but he can now also perform Cloud-Forming and Rain-Spreading."

"And he can control the area of rainfall so precisely."

"Also... you mentioned earlier that Abe was struck dead by lightning."

"This place is less than two kilometers from Dragon Tiger Mountain, neither too far nor too close."

"Yet he could control the Thunder Light so precisely to strike only Abe dead in this range."

"Such skill far exceeds our previous estimates!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead after hearing this.

Abe was struck dead right at the hotel entrance.

This means if the other party wished, they could strike any of them dead at will, couldn't they?

It's terrifying!

"Elder Song, what should we do next?"

The middle-aged man struggled to calm his fear before asking.

"His actions not only punish Abe but might also serve as a warning to us."

"Let's withdraw Liu and the others first, then execute the second plan!"

Elder Song contemplated briefly before saying calmly.

"I understand!"

The middle-aged man nodded.

For some reason, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The next morning, as the sun rose,

Lu Heng slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a hint of joy.

Last night after using the Earth Escape Talisman to descend the mountain and striking Abe dead with the Thunder Light Talisman, he felt a sense of fulfillment.

With such a joyful heart, his cultivation progress also doubled with half the effort.

"System!"

He called out to the Celestial Destiny System's interface and examined it.

Host: Lu Heng (Daoist Name: Qingfeng)

Age: 18

Status: Mid-stage Leukemia

Cultivation: Fourth-Layer Qi Refining

Cultivation Techniques: "Taiyi Five Qi Spell", "Heaven-Stepping Cloud Step"

Magical Treasure: None

Life Span: 26

Indeed, his cultivation had broken through from the previous Third-Layer Qi Refining to the Fourth-Layer Qi Refining.

His life span had also increased by about twenty points, all contributed by those four.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then, the door suddenly knocked.

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother?"

"Get up quickly, Master is looking for you!"

Outside the door came the call of his junior sister, Qingyue.

Lu Heng shook his head helplessly.

This girl, despite being born into a prestigious sect, was always so rash without any composure of a noble lady.

He opened the door, and Qingyue rushed right in.

"Senior Brother, Master is looking for you!"

"He said the people from the Religious Affairs Bureau are leaving, and you should go see them off."

Qingyue glanced around curiously.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's not like you haven't been here before?"

Lu Heng gently tapped Qingyue's forehead.

"Ouch!"

"What's wrong with looking around?"

Qingyue pouted, covering her forehead.

"Tell Master that I know."

"I'll change my clothes and then go to see them off."

Lu Heng waved his hand, signaling Qingyue to leave.

"Hurry up!"

Qingyue, as if her pants were on fire, hurriedly ran out again.

Lu Heng was speechless.

After changing his clothes, he went straight to the mountain top square.

Many young Daoists had also gathered there.

In groups of three or five, they whispered amongst themselves.

Ever since his cultivation began, Lu Heng became exceptionally perceptive.

By slightly tuning in his ears, he could hear what everyone was discussing.

"I heard the people from the Religious Affairs Bureau are withdrawing this morning?"

"Yes, that's what Senior Uncle Xuanming said."

"Once they leave, will we return to normal?"

"Probably, but Senior Uncle Xuanming said we have to wait for further notice."

"Finally, they're leaving. It's about time."

"Exactly, always questioning us like we're wanted criminals."

"Sending these harbingers of doom away, we'll finally return to normal life..."

Lu Heng couldn't help but smile.

It's understandable why everyone was fed up with these people from the Religious Affairs Bureau.

They continuously questioned everyone in search of the 'Immortal.'

More importantly, they were prying into his master Taoist Xuancheng's private matters.

In the entire Shangqing Tao, Taoist Xuancheng was the most respected.

In doing so, they positioned themselves against all the Daoists, so how could they find any useful information?
