Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 728: The Lord's Divine Power, the Calm Before the Storm
The golden letters on the Bible papers flying in the air faded, and the papers slowly fell down and became ordinary things.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the ground. There were several charred corpses there. Father Anderson took them away when he left just now.

"I hope these guys have a better eye and don't force me to cut them all off!"

Zhang Zhiwei muttered to himself, turned his head to look at the disciples who were tied to the cross, waved his hand, and several electric snakes flew out, pierced through the ropes on their bodies and disappeared.

As soon as several disciples came down from the cross, they didn't care about their weak bodies and immediately bowed down, shouting words like "Master, you are mighty!" and "Master, save us!"

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand, asking them to stop and stand up to talk.

Several people agreed and helped each other to stand up. They seemed a little nervous when facing Zhang Zhiwei.

Speaking of which, this was their first time to see Zhang Zhiwei, the head archbishop. He was indeed as powerful as the legend said. No wonder the original head of the hall was willing to come in and be a subordinate and become a branch master.

But at the same time, this made them feel confused about the future. The tricks they had cultivated were destroyed, and they were afraid that they would not be able to ask the gods to possess them in the future.

As a top-incense disciple, if one cannot be sent out as a spirit medium, then he should be the one to do it. They have a place among the four pillars of the hall.

"Master, our secret is ruined and has little effect on the sect. Do you want us to return to our positions?" one of them said tremblingly.

Return to one's place... Zhang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then realized what the other party meant. The so-called return to one's place means that the soul returns to the hall in advance and becomes a smoke soul or a breeze, just as this seems to be the destination of most of the disciples who go out to perform rituals.

"That's not necessary. Now that the trick is gone, just repair it. You continue to look for Wang Ai. After reporting everything, rest with him. Soon, I will come to the Magic City in person to heal your injuries." Zhang Zhiwei said.

Although these people were seriously injured, in his current state, he really couldn't help them deal with it. He could only postpone it temporarily and deal with it together when he arrived.

Upon hearing that Zhang Zhiwei could help them repair the secret, the disciples were overjoyed. They had no time to think about it and immediately bowed to thank the leader for his kindness.

This way of talking is weird... Zhang Zhiwei didn't want to stay any longer. He nodded to the disciples who had come out to perform rituals, then turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared from bottom to top.

Soon after he disappeared, a faint black mist emerged from the surroundings, and several sharp-nosed and monkey-faced figures with green eyes suddenly appeared and looked at the disciples who had been sent out on the field.

These people kept looking up at the sky, staring at the direction Zhang Zhiwei left, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time.

"Liuzi, Erhu, what's wrong with you guys? Why are you just staring at the sky?" asked a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.

This person was actually a disciple who was sent out to protect the Tiantong Hall, and he was also from the same hall that Master Huang Jiu came from.

Most of the immortals in this hall are yellow immortals. After the immortals possess the body, the disciples who go out to perform rituals will also have some characteristics of yellow immortals.

The disciple currently uses the Kunbanqiao technique, which means he is borrowing the power of the immortals, but he is the one who controls the power.

In this state, part of the body will become like Huang Xian, but because it is dominated by a human, a human figure can still be seen.

And to "Kun Quanqiao" is to hand over the body and mind to the immortals, who will take the lead. Therefore, in the state of "Kun Quanqiao", the appearance of the disciple will change greatly, for example, showing the state of having a beast's head and a human body.

The immortals were used to the environment outside the Great Wall, and they were a little uncomfortable when they suddenly entered the Demon City. Therefore, most of the disciples who went out to perform rituals here showed half of their abilities to others.

Not long ago, an immortal escaped from the God Hall and said that someone had caused trouble and all of their disciples had been crippled.

The head of the guard hall is Master Huang Jiu. Huang Xian is the most vengeful person. How can he not seek revenge after suffering a loss? He wants to get back at the person immediately.

Soon after, the branch of the Godang started to operate, the barracks king began to send out troops, and all the troops in the branch moved together to seek revenge.

They followed the disciples' breath and began to search, and a few clever disciples found this place.

However, they seemed to have arrived a little late. When they arrived, the battle was already over. All they saw was the mess around them and a few dazed companions.

After these disciples arrived, more people who were there to protect the hall came one after another. For a moment, the black energy here became more and more dense.

Dozens of people stood in the black air. Most of them had human bodies with animal heads. Some had fox heads, some had weasel heads, and some had snake heads.

There are also some who look no different from ordinary people, except that their eyes and lips are blood red, which makes people shudder at the first sight. They are the Qingfeng Beiwang in the hall.

Among these people, the leader was a middle-aged man in a robe, about 1.7 meters tall, thin, with less flesh on his cheeks, giving people a fierce feeling. He was none other than Master Huang Jiu who had transformed into a human form.

The few people who were originally in a daze, seeing the great immortals in the hall all arrived, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and reported the situation.

After hearing this, the evil spirit on Master Huang Jiu's face suddenly disappeared, and he said in disbelief:
"The leader actually knew about this and came to rescue you personally?"

You know, he hasn't reported this matter yet, and he's not even planning to report it.

After all, as the branch master of the hall, he also has to save face. How could he inform the archbishop of the hall just for a small matter?

Wouldn't that make him appear incompetent?

But he didn't expect that the leader knew about it before he reported it.

"The leader is really powerful!" Master Huang Jiu sighed and looked at the disciples who came out to perform rituals: "Tell me, tell me what happened in detail!"

Several disciples began to tell the story from the beginning. They were working as security guards in a church school and were drinking some wine when suddenly several foreigners from the concession came to check with some people in strange clothes.

Although they have not been in the Magic City for long, they have long been accustomed to this kind of inspection. Is it nothing more than a pretext to come here to make money?

They used the old method to deal with it, which was to let the immortals cast hysteria on them, making them think they had gotten the money and return empty-handed.

But they didn't expect to meet a tough guy this time. As soon as they used hysteria, the opponent used means to take them down. Only the immortal in the body, seeing that the situation was not good, used the yellow immortal's talent of fast speed to escape.

"Who wants to hear this nonsense?" Master Huang Jiu interrupted his disciple and continued, "Tell us how the leader came, when he came, and when he left?"

Several disciples immediately started telling the story.

"Turning into lightning and falling from the sky, and destroying the enemy in a wave of the hand? This is what the leader does!" Master Huang Jiu exclaimed.

Then, he remembered that the sky was clear before, but suddenly he heard thunder. At that time, he just thought it was a drought thunder, but now he thought it was caused by the arrival of the leader.

Chuantang has been promoting the idea that Thunder is the incarnation of Tiantong Sect Master, his eyes, and the manifestation of his consciousness... Anyway, no matter how weird it is, he has never taken this information seriously.

Before becoming the head of the guard hall, he was also the head of a hall. He knew very well that it was normal to make up a story about himself to be more powerful in order to gain popularity, and he had done so before.

But he never expected that what Chuan Tang had taught was actually true... Is the leader really that powerful? Last time in Liaodong, there was no such thing. Could it be that the leader had made another breakthrough, or had cultivated the complete thunder method... Master Huang Jiu was puzzled, but no matter what, this was a good thing.

"Since the leader asked you to go to the head of Chuantang to recuperate, then go ahead!" Master Huang Jiu waved his hand and said.

Master Huang Jiu is different from Master Huang Liu. Master Huang Jiu's style of doing things is much more eccentric and cruel. If it were in the past, he would definitely convert these two disciples who had bad tricks into Qingfeng, but since the leader has given the order, he certainly cannot disobey.

"The leader is quite humane in his work. That's good. There is a future in following him!" Master Huang Jiu thought to himself.

Although he doesn't do things very humanely, this doesn't stop him from looking for a boss who is humane.

"Master Jiu, do we still need to cause trouble for those foreigners?" said an immortal.

Master Huang Jiu was about to say that the money must be returned tenfold, but then he changed his mind and thought, the leader was so powerful, but he let the other person escape. This showed that he wanted to settle the matter peacefully. If he ran over to cause trouble, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the leader?

Although Master Huang Jiu behaved strangely, he was definitely not a fool. He said in a deep voice:

"Since the leader already knows about this, let me ask for his opinion. Now, let's retreat!"

There was quite a bit of commotion here, and many eyes had already come over, both good and bad. He didn't want to create any more trouble, so he rolled up a cloud of black mist and left with his men.

Soon, the black fog dissipated, and the church was empty, with only a few crosses left.

As for some ordinary priests and nuns around, they had already fled when the battle started.

In the dark, several people stared at the ruined church.

One of the tall figures in a red robe stood in the dark, watching the scene silently.

"Signing a contract with a monster and letting the monster descend upon you to gain powerful strength, is this the Tiantong Church?"

He raised the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Rather than calling it a church, it's better to call it a group of shamans. They destroyed the Holy Trinity Church and killed a red-robed leader? Do you want me to kill them directly?!"

A young man next to the man in red said:

"We arrived a step too late and did not see the battle between the traitorous Thirteenth Division and the Tiantong Church. However, since they were able to defeat the Thirteenth Division, they are opponents worthy of attention."

"Let's wait and see. The situation in various countries is very bad right now. The organization does not want to confront the Holy See for the time being. If we want to take action, we have to wait until the people from Section 13 leave!"

On the other side, at Tianmen Peak of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

To project such a powerful force thousands of miles away in an instant not only consumes Qi, but also consumes the mind. This is why he did not use the lightning incarnation to go and talk to Wang Ai.

Soon after he regained consciousness, messages came from Mr. Huang Jiu, Mr. Huang Liu, and Wang Ai, asking for his opinion.

We are in the open while the enemy is in the dark. Zhang Zhiwei's advice is to remain constant in the face of change. If you encounter something you can't handle, just report it in time.

Afterwards, Wang Ai reported many things to Zhang Zhiwei alone.

Nowadays, the scale of Tiantong Church in Shanghai has become quite large, and with a larger scale, more problems have arisen.

Among these problems, the major ones were basically overcome by Wang Ai relying on the Wang family's connections and the support of Fengming Tower.

As for minor problems, like trouble caused by gangs or the police, they were overcome by the immortals using some small tricks.

However, these are internal reasons and are easy to handle. They are nothing more than coercion or inducement.

But external factors are more difficult to deal with.

Ever since Zhang Zhiwei took over Yongxin Company and controlled the three tycoons of Shanghai with his blue hand, he ordered Yongxin Company to stop the opium and human trafficking businesses, and not only did he not do it himself, he also stopped others from doing it.

The human trafficking business is easy to deal with. If anyone disobeys, let Huoyun Evil God bring people to kill them.

After a few incidents, although petty theft and child trafficking still exist, no one dares to engage in large-scale human trafficking by transporting people by shipload.

Not only that, Yongxin Company also sent people to Malacca and other places based on the account books left behind, and redeemed some of the people who had been sold before.

But the opium business is not easy to handle...

Nowadays, there are many people who smoke this stuff. If you don't do it, and don't let others do it, what should you do when those addicted people are out of stock and often cause some public security problems?
This caused great dissatisfaction among the police station and even the people in the concession.

Not only that, the foreigners outside also started to cause trouble.

In the past, Yongxin Company not only bought a lot of opium, but also sold a lot of it, and even exported it to various countries, receiving high praise. However, with the Yongxin Chemical Factory being burned down by Zhang Zhiwei, this business was also gone.

It can be said that the current Yongxin Company has offended several of its former major business partners. Although it is still prosperous and there is no sign of decline, this is just the calm before the storm.

External forces are accumulating strength to defeat it in one fell swoop, and then redistribute the cake, select agents, and continue the business.

"No one knows when they will attack?" Wang Ai said.

This is one of the things he is worried about now.

The Tiantong Church can thrive in the Magic City thanks to Yongxin’s help. They are deeply bound together, and they prosper together and suffer together.

"What kind of means do you think they will use? Legitimate business means or despicable ones?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Legitimate business practices are a little difficult to deal with, but despicable ones... are easy as pie...

"That must be a despicable trick. How could a group of pirates do anything legitimate?" Wang Ai said with certainty.

"Since we know they are going to use despicable tactics against us, how can we just sit there and wait for death? We must strike first," Zhang Zhiwei replied.
