The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Lü Dongbin glanced at Bai Zhi, his expression full of surprise.

"This is practically a power of rules. If it weren't for the fire demonic energy on your body, I would have thought that the world had created another God of Contract, representing the world's primordial power, just like the Eight Great Demons."

"I don't think I've never been a God of Contracts before."

"Miss Baizhi, listen up."

As he spoke, he tried to gather power in his hand to attack Bai Zhi.

Of course, he didn't have any problem with Bai Zhi, but he was trying to see what would happen if he tried to violate the provisions of the contract.

Because the agreement stipulates that after signing the contract, the two parties are in an alliance, and if they violate the contract, they will be subject to severe sanctions, including some repercussions against themselves.

As he gathered more and more power in his hands and locked onto Bai Zhi, he felt a lingering sense of unease in his heart. If he were to actually throw it out, it would probably be just as the contract stated: his entire body's power would become disordered, and he would self-destruct and die.

"How does it feel?"

Looking at Lü Dongbin, who had withdrawn his power, Bai Zhi asked with a smile.

She understood, of course, that what had just happened was just an experiment, and even if the other party were to actually fight, the power granted by the Rat Talisman was still insufficient.

"The contract has a very powerful effect. I feel that even if those demons sign the contract, they probably won't be able to break it."

"No wonder you have such lofty ambitions and such abilities; you are indeed capable of doing such things."

"I just don't know how strong this contract is?"

Lü Dongbin looked at the contract in Bai Zhi's hand.

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused it.

Here, a person can also become this contract.

If the contract were seized and easily torn up, unforeseen circumstances might arise.

"Your concerns are valid, so, would you like to try tearing it?"

Bai Zhi handed the contract to Lü Dongbin, indicating that he should give it a try.

Lü Dongbin didn't stand on ceremony. He took the contract directly, his hands filled with magic, and tried to tear it apart.

However, when he exerted force, a tearing sensation came from his own body.

It was as if he wasn't tearing apart the contract, but rather tearing himself apart.

If it were merely physical pain, he could still bear it, but this pain seemed to be acting on both his body and soul.

Even he, an immortal, could not withstand such intense pain.

Chapter 346 Father: The Ancestral Master spoke to me, why would I have such a dream?

"jingle"

The door knocking alarm rang, and the old man, who was engrossed in various magical materials, subconsciously looked up.

"Welcome to Old Man's Antique Shop, what do you want..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence because he recognized the newcomer. He didn't recognize one of the men, who was wearing an ancient Chinese robe, but he knew the other one all too well.

"Bai Zhi? What do you want from me here!"

"Dad, let me tell you, I don't have any talismans left here."

The old man grabbed the pufferfish from the table and looked at Bai Zhi with a wary expression.

"Sir... there's no need to exaggerate like that. It's been so long. If I really wanted to do something, I would have done it long ago. Look at Xiaoyu now, she often comes to my place to play."

“If I had just taken her hostage and forced you to hand over the talismans, you would have had to do as I said, but I didn’t do that.”

"Besides, look who's next to me?"

Bai Zhi pointed to Lü Dongbin beside her.

"he?"

The old man adjusted his glasses and looked at Lü Dongbin with a probing gaze.

Hmm, he looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is.

Does this feel familiar?

The old man frowned; he did feel like he had seen this man somewhere before.

But I just can't remember.

That shouldn't be the case. Someone dressed so uniquely must leave a very deep impression.

And he's Asian, maybe someone I knew when I was in China?

"I'll give you a hint: he's a Taoist priest."

"Taoist priest?"

The old man's brows furrowed even deeper, and some strange images flashed through his mind.

It seems like I've actually seen someone like that before, dressed in such clothes, and identified as a Taoist priest. Maybe we're even from the same lineage.

But for some reason, I just can't remember who this person is or how I met them.

"Still can't guess?" Bai Zhi looked at her father, who was deep in thought, with amusement.

The old man probably never imagined that his ancestor would be resurrected in such a bizarre way and then appear before him.

“Little girl, it’s normal for me to forget a lot of things as I get old.”

Do you need me to give you the answer directly?

"Or would you like some more hints?"

"Alright, Miss Baizhi, stop teasing this old man."

Lü Dongbin shook his head helplessly, then looked at his father, "Old man, my name is Hui Daozi, surname Lü, courtesy name Dongbin."

Dad: ?

He looked at Lü Dongbin with an incredulous expression. "Isn't your name... a bit too much?"

Well, the old man hadn't quite grasped it yet; he just assumed someone had given Lü Dongbin the same name as a deity.

In his view, this was somewhat disrespectful to the founding master.

I wonder whose child this is, and whose parents are so audacious.

“Old sir… pay attention to the Taoist name in front of him. Also, don’t you feel that he looks very familiar? Is there something wrong with him?”

Bai Zhi couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to remind him.

"The Taoist name, and the sense of familiarity..."

Bai Zhi's reminder was like a bolt of lightning striking her father, leaving him completely stunned.

The knowledge from countless scriptures and historical documents he had read began to resonate in his mind.

In those documents about the eight great demons, the Eight Immortals are of paramount importance.

The person in front of me perfectly matches the description in the literature of Lu Dongbin, the founder of the Dan Ding School, also known as the Heavenly Venerable of the Wonderful Way.

Even the sword he carried on his back exuded a sense of historical depth.

However, historical records say that the Eight Immortals mysteriously disappeared.

Many people speculate that these eight immortals have ascended to the upper realm.

Because at that time, many virtuous or powerful people ascended to the heavens.

However, as time went by, the power that mages could use diminished, and ascension became a myth.

Therefore, in the current world of magic, it is believed that the gates to the heavens have been closed, and that due to the development of technology, the mysteries of the mortal realm are being gradually explored by humankind, and the threshold for using power is becoming lower and lower.

As the threshold for using power decreases, the world is gradually entering the Dharma-ending Age.

Such a world is no longer suitable for powerful immortals and gods to descend.

But now, Lü Dongbin was standing right in front of him, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Bai Zhi, whom he considered an evil being.

Could it be that the mysteries of the modern world will once again see a surge in development, and the spring of mages is about to arrive again?

This confused Dad a bit.

"Don't overthink it. He's been dead for a long time. He's just been resurrected by the Rat Talisman."

"A rat charm, that's it!!"

The old man slammed his fist down; Bai Zhi's reminder cleared his confused thoughts.

The rat talisman's ability to transform stillness into movement can indeed be applied to statues of deities.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for his ancestor to appear before him.

Thinking about it this way, let alone Grandmaster Lü Dongbin, even the Three Pure Ones could be resurrected using the Rat Talisman.

However, he still couldn't understand why Lü Dongbin would side with Bai Zhi.

You should know that the person resurrected by the Rat Talisman has their own thoughts, let alone an immortal.

"But...why?"

The old man's eyes still held a hint of confusion as he looked at the two of them.

"Old sir, you must have many questions. Although I would like to explain, I have just explained it to Lü Dongbin, so I won't waste my breath."

"Besides, even if I told you those things, you probably wouldn't believe me, so let your ancestor explain to you why he's on my side."

Bai Zhi knew very well that her father's impression of her was deeply ingrained.

Although after everything that's happened, they wouldn't necessarily start a fight just because they see me, they certainly wouldn't have anything nice to say to me.

However, many of my plans still require talented people.

Although my father's power is not as great as that of a god, he is still very knowledgeable and is among the most powerful people in this world.

Therefore, we should still try to win it over if we can.

She can't possibly make things escalate to the point of life and death just because someone has a simple sense of justice.

That's not appropriate.

"Miss Bai Zhi really knows how to order people around, but this matter is indeed worth discussing in detail. Old man, would you be willing to listen to my words?"

Lü Dongbin shook his head helplessly, then looked at his father and asked gently.

"Ah, of course, I am very honored to hear the words of the patriarch. Please wait here for a moment, I will go and prepare tea immediately!"

What else could Dad say? The patriarch had already spoken; he couldn't possibly rebel and say anything against it.

Stand at attention and listen carefully.

Chapter 347 I'm Going to Beat Up the Demon

"Can this idea really be realized?"

After hearing Lü Dongbin's description of the situation, the old man couldn't help but gasp in astonishment; it was simply too crazy.

In the past, each country had its own heaven and underworld, but now, Bai Zhi is actually thinking of creating a unified two worlds. The scale of this project can only be described as insane.

He really found this situation a little hard to imagine.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

After Lü Dongbin finished explaining to his father, Bai Zhi also came over.

"This might be a crucial opportunity to end this endless cycle."

"Moreover, if you succeed in this, you will definitely be remembered in history, and you will be the first to offer incense in the family genealogy."

Bai Zhi said with a smile.

"The first incense stick is offered in the family genealogy..."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, the old man was speechless for a moment. Is this how you invite people?

To be honest, after Bai Zhi said that, he actually became somewhat interested.

The main purpose is to be the first to offer incense... no, it's to benefit future generations and to earn a good reputation for oneself.
