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

As a person blessed by righteousness, although he may have his own petty thoughts about some matters of self-interest, he never has too many ideas when it comes to important matters.

If we could join Bai Zhi's plan, it would cause quite a stir in society.

That's not very realistic. After all, if this kind of thing were made public now, it would definitely cause panic.

However, if he succeeds in this endeavor, people will speak of him with utmost respect from now on.

Moreover, if this succeeds, it will also benefit future generations.

Even if this mega-project can't be maintained in the future, it can still ensure peace for at least several hundred years, which is a great thing for future generations.

"Then what do you want me to do? The ancestral master is already on your side, so there's not much use in coming to me again."

The old man glanced at Lü Dongbin and said in a low voice.

He was quite confident in his knowledge, but that also depends on the person. Compared to the rest of the cultivation world, he was among the top tier.

However, compared to his own ancestor, he only had a slight advantage in a small part of knowledge. In everything else, whether it was experience or anything else, he was no match.

Therefore, he was still puzzled by Bai Zhi's invitation.

“It’s very simple. This time, I’m going to Hell, and I hope the old man can use the demon dragon as a medium to open the gate.”

Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said.

"Demon Dragon?" The old man was puzzled; he had never heard of that name before.

"Oh, that's the Holy Lord's future son. He ran over and was caught by my security department. He and the Holy Lord have the same demonic energy, which should be able to be used to open the gate."

“The future son of the Holy Lord, no wonder I’ve seen the Yin and Yang energies changing these past few days, so that’s why.”

The old man nodded knowingly.

"But this matter... even the founder could do it, there's absolutely no need to ask me."

"The original plan was for Mr. Lü Dongbin to open the gates of hell, but now I've changed my mind. I think it should be you, sir, who opens them, and then Lü Dongbin and I will enter hell."

Bai Zhi explained.

"Miss Bai Zhi, do you mean... to use me to intimidate them?"

Lu Dongbin frowned. This was probably the only thing he could think of that Bai Zhi had done.

"But my current strength is far too weak compared to my peak period."

"If I prepare in advance, I might have a chance to fight against a single demon, but if I face so many demons, my final result will probably be that I will be torn to pieces by them."

"Don't worry about your safety. You're only following me as proof of the plan's execution, to increase its persuasiveness."

"After all, the eight great demons won't trust me and sign a contract so easily."

Bai Zhi explained in detail.

"No, that's not the point... it's that my identity is too sensitive. I have no doubt that if I appear in front of them, they won't try to negotiate with you, but will attack me without hesitation."

Lu Dongbin frowned even more deeply, finding it difficult to understand Bai Zhi's thoughts.

"That's exactly what I wanted. If you hadn't come to hell with me, how would I have provoked the demons to make their move?"

Bai Zhi shrugged.

"Ok?"

Lu Dongbin was puzzled. Surely Bai Zhi couldn't possibly want to beat up all of these demons, could she?

"That's right, just like you think. I'm going to beat them up, and you're the excuse that lets me show off my strength."

"Although they were relatively friendly to me when I spoke to them remotely before, no one would believe that demons would give up their freedom and stay in hell from now on because of some favors or face-saving, right?"

The effect of his contract signing was indeed very strong, but the demons weren't stupid. After seeing those terms, they would most likely not sign them voluntarily.

The only way to reason with these guys is through force.

After assessing the power of the resurrected Holy Lord, Bai Zhi was certain that even if all eight demons attacked together, they would still be no match for the Divine Lord.

After all, in the original story, these demons were only capable of destroying a city at most.

As a powerful weapon at the level of a messenger, the Divine Lord can destroy a country with a single stroke, and with a little effort, he can easily give this planet a makeover.

"So confident...?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's confident words, Lü Dongbin did not refute them.

The reason is very simple: no one is stupid or tired of living, and Bai Zhi has no reason to deliberately frame him.

After all, they already possess the power of that contract, so there's absolutely no need to resort to such roundabout methods to cheat people.

Therefore, Angelica dahurica must have its own thoughts and methods.

"Since that's the case, then I, this humble Taoist, will risk my life to accompany you. What's wrong with taking you on a journey through a mere hell?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that reckless, nor am I a masochist. Just follow me, and I'll make sure you don't die."

"Well... now that we've finished discussing this, what are your thoughts, sir?"

After persuading Lü Dongbin, Bai Zhi looked at her father.

"I have no opinion."

The old man answered decisively, "Even the patriarch risked his life. As a junior, what can he possibly say when he's only responsible for opening the gates of hell?"

"Alright, please come with me to the Destiny Building... The old gentleman might even meet an old friend there."

Remembering the message on her phone from the security department that a thief had been caught, Bai Zhi smiled and said.

Chapter 348 Don't let anger cloud your judgment

"Hey, let me go! I'm from District 13!!"

In a room filled with upholstered furniture, a short-haired woman was restrained in a chair, fidgeting restlessly.

At the same time, he looked at the fully armed security squad leader in front of him with a hint of fear.

Not long ago, when I was climbing up the ventilation duct, I didn't make a sound, but the other person still found me.

They even brutally blasted a hole in there and dragged her out.

If she hadn't been lucky, that punch would probably have cut her in two.

“You little thief, whether you’re from District 13 or District 51, you’ve come to our Destiny Building, so you’re an intruder. We have reason to suspect that you’re here to steal trade secrets.”

"So, you have to stay here until our boss decides whether you stay or leave!"

The head armor of the security squad leader glowed red as he spoke, subtly conveying a sense of intimidation.

After the last intrusion, they were on high alert and showed no mercy to the intruders, catching them and immediately putting them in high-tech restraint devices.

This device, which can suppress biological activity and is extremely heavy, makes it virtually impossible for anyone to escape.

Unless the other party is someone like a Star Core Hunter.

"Oh no, could this company really be doing something shady? Am I going to die here?!"

Cheng Xiaoyu swallowed hard, various movie scenes flashing through her mind.

"Wow, it's been so long since I've been to Destiny Company! My comic books and game console, I'm back!!"

A faint sound drifted in from outside, attracting Cheng Xiaoyu's attention.

"Am I hallucinating because I'm locked up? Why do I feel like I'm hearing my own voice?"

She looked at the doorway with a somewhat confused expression.

But the voice grew louder and louder, and even included the familiar voice of Uncle Long.

"Xiaoyu, I've told you before, you need to be careful about your behavior when you're on someone else's turf."

"But speaking of which, why did Father call us here, saying he wanted to discuss something important? Hasn't he always had a bad impression of Bai Zhi?"

"Oh, Uncle Long, it must be that Dad realized that Xiao Baizhi is a kind person, which is why he called us here."

Look, they're serving the dishes! Hehe, there must be a big welcome party going on!

"Wait, this isn't a hallucination, it's real! That's me and Uncle Long from before!!"

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened; she had no recollection of having this memory.

This company is so mysterious and powerful, how could I possibly have no impression of it at all?

Could it be that something happened in the future that caused me to lose this memory of the present?

Just like in the Men in Black movies, what happens when you're exposed to something and that memory is lost?

But she didn't care about anything else now and immediately started shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Uncle Long, help me!!"

"Hey, you woman, what are you doing?!"

The security team leader shouted angrily, but did not actually cover her mouth. After reporting to Bai Zhi that they had captured the woman, they received an order not to harm her, but simply to restrain her.

As for the rest, she can do whatever she wants.

"Huh... I think I heard someone calling me?"

Jackie Chan, who was curiously observing his surroundings, glanced at a large door at the end of the alley with some concern.

His intuition told him that the faint sound he had just heard came from inside.

Although he had never heard this voice before, it inexplicably carried a hint of familiarity.

"Oh, Uncle Long, you must have misheard. Let's take the elevator up quickly, I want to read comic books."

Xiaoyu tugged at Jackie Chan's sleeve.

"No, Xiaoyu, I think I really heard a sound, right at the end of the way. Look, there's light coming out."

"Could it be that Bai Zhi has imprisoned someone and is conducting secret experiments here?"

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Jackie Chan upon hearing this.

"Uncle Long, your imagination is too vivid. This isn't a movie."

"No, Xiaoyu, listen carefully, someone is really calling me. I have to go see!"

Upon hearing that indistinct voice again, Jackie Chan immediately stopped and ran towards the room at the end of the alley.

"Oh dear, Uncle Long is such a hassle."

Xiaoyu muttered helplessly and had no choice but to run over as well.

Is anyone inside?

Jackie Chan shouted, and a voice came from inside, "Uncle Jackie, come in and save me!!"

"As expected, Bai Zhi was causing trouble here. Could those medicines of hers have been produced through human experimentation...?"

Jackie Chan had a series of thoughts running through his mind, then he raised his foot and kicked the door.

The originally incredibly sturdy alloy door was kicked open with a single step.

"Ah, Uncle Long, you're finally here! Save me!!"

Upon seeing Jackie Chan suddenly appear, Cheng Xiaoyu became excited and began to twist her body incessantly.

“Mr. Jackie Chan, please immediately step back outside the cordon. I can pretend I didn’t see what you just did.”

The security team leader turned around, and the tall mecha looked down at Jackie Chan.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu pinned to the spot by restraint devices behind him, he frowned. He wanted to question her, but the ethereal aura appeared inexplicably, igniting his anger.

He uncontrollably raised his fist and slammed it towards the squad leader.

"That's some real strength, Jackie Chan. Please stop attacking immediately, or we will retaliate."

Seeing the damage displayed on the screen, the squad leader immediately took out his baton.

"Uncle Long, what are you doing? You haven't even asked about the matter clearly."

Xiaoyu was stunned to see her Uncle Long attack the other party without even knowing what had happened.

In her memory, her Uncle Long was not like that at all. Even when facing bad people, he would not just take them down without a word.

But now, he's become so irritable.

"Xiaoyu, get out of my way! They're holding someone captive, I have to rescue her!"
