Just as everyone was offering their deepest respect to He Chongxu, something completely unexpected happened.
He Chongxu, holding the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang with both hands, suddenly took a step forward and knelt before Ying Chen with a thud.
"My own mistakes, I will confess myself!"
"No need for outsiders to interfere!"
"This sinner, He Chongxu, is willing to offer a method to atone for my sins and clear my name! I implore Immortal Ying to grant me this chance!"
The entire scene fell silent, not a single sound was heard.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially those who had just paid their respects to He Chongxu.
Their faces were a picture of astonishment.
They had initially thought He Chongxu was the last backbone of Hong Kong, a man of integrity. Turns out, He Chongxu was actually the last pure sycophant of Hong Kong!
Ying Chen looked at He Chongxu with some surprise.
He had been prepared to send He Chongxu on his way, and he hadn't expected this turn of events.
"A method to atone for your sins?"
"What method?"
He Chongxu calmly replied, "Many years ago, I stumbled upon an old cultivator's miscellaneous notes. Besides some cultivation theories, it also incidentally mentioned something. That was the origin of the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang."
"Although the legend says the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang was borrowed from Gui Xu during Yu the Great's flood control efforts, there's never been any proof. Instead, those notes assert with certainty that the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang was forged by a rogue cultivator named Wu Yue San Ren."
Upon hearing He Chongxu's words, Ying Chen raised an eyebrow.
Others might not be able to discern the truth, but Ying Chen could tell immediately!
That's right, the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang was definitely not some treasure from the ancient Gui Xu.
If a treasure of that caliber had survived, it would not have deteriorated over time to the point of becoming completely useless after only a few uses.
The power of the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang and its internal patterns almost definitively proved it was forged by a later hand.
Some of the forging patterns were even unconventional and deviated from orthodox methods.
Ying Chen had found it strange before, but now, hearing the word "rogue cultivator," he immediately understood.
Rogue cultivators were known for their unconventional approaches, weren't they?
This meant that the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang likely was forged by that rogue cultivator named Wu Yue San Ren!
"And so?" Ying Chen asked, his expression unchanging.
"The notes not only recorded the origin of the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang but also mentioned that there were flaws when the artifact was forged. In other words, this divine weapon was imperfect from the very beginning."
"Wu Yue San Ren regretted this greatly and spent his entire life trying to find a way to repair it. However, the repair materials were so rare that he couldn't find them before his death."
Ying Chen's eyes flickered, "You mean... you know where the repair materials can be found?"
He Chongxu replied respectfully, "I wouldn't dare say I know for sure, but I have some clues. And all of this is thanks to Immortal Ying's enlightenment; otherwise, I wouldn't have understood this point."
"Oh?" Ying Chen's curiosity was instantly piqued.
He wanted to continue questioning, but seeing He Chongxu's secretive demeanor, he suspected that if he pressed further, he wouldn't get an answer.
It was likely that some secrets were involved that were not convenient to reveal to outsiders.
After all, there were not only ruthless Hong Kong tycoons present but also several Grand Feng Shui Masters.
Once these secrets were known, it was hard to guarantee they wouldn't be tempted.
"Get up!"
"If you can truly repair this item, your atonement will be complete. Not only will I exempt you from all punishment, but I will also grant you this territory of Hong Kong as your dojo! From now on, you will be the true Island- trấn Feng Shui Master of Hong Kong!"
Ying Chen said casually.
As he finished speaking, he gently lifted his foot and stomped on the ground.
The next second, the entire Kowloon Mountain rumbled and shook. The earth veins and feng shui within a thousand-meter radius responded in unison, emitting a roaring sound like a thousand valleys flowing together.
Even the distant bay surged with waves, transforming into streams of dragon-shaped waves that rushed towards Ying Chen's location.
Seeing this, He Chongxu and the Feng Shui Masters present were aghast.
"How is this possible? He can actually summon the feng shui of the entire Hong Kong to his command?"
"This must have reached the level of a Bodhisattva's dojo, as described in legends! It is said that a Bodhisattva takes a region or a province as their dojo, and within the dojo, their golden body is invincible. The feng shui earth veins, the wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning are all at their disposal. Terribly frightening!"
"Thank you, Immortal Ying!" He Chongxu's eyes gleamed, his face filled with excitement.
He bowed solemnly to Ying Chen.
He could also see that, even if Ying Chen didn't completely control the feng shui and earth veins of Hong Kong, he must have mastered at least seventy to eighty percent!
Most importantly, while others could only refine a single mountain or a body of water as their dojo, Ying Chen had connected the feng shui and earth veins of the entire Hong Kong into a unified dojo!
Before this, it was something He Chongxu had never even dared to imagine! He Chongxu's understanding of Ying Chen's power deepened once again.
Let alone having any rebellious thoughts, even if he did, he would never dare to show them.
And with Ying Chen promising him the entire Hong Kong dojo, it was as if he had directly inherited a large corporation and transformed into the true power broker of Hong Kong!
What others called a "power broker" was merely a metaphor.
He Chongxu's status as a power broker meant he was truly integrated with the mountains, waters, and earth veins of Hong Kong; the land was him, and he was the land!
With such immense benefits and temptations, could He Chongxu let this opportunity slip away?
Of course not!
This time, no matter what, he had to help Ying Chen repair the Jia Hai Chi Jin Liang!
"Then, Immortal Ying... shall we take our leave? There's no time to waste."
"After all, the troublemaker is dead, and there's no point in staying here to talk to these useless fops."
He Chongxu suggested.
With his words, he directly offended all the Hong Kong tycoons present.
This was a complete declaration of his stance, standing with Ying Chen.
Ying Chen nodded and uttered a single word: "Go."
Then, the two of them soared into the air, their robes fluttering.
They moved as if treading on level ground on the mountain path, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Watching them go, the onlookers sighed with envy.
Indeed, cultivation was the best path!
At least this ethereal and elegant immortal demeanor was something others could not imitate.
"What are you still standing here for? Disperse!"
"Also, you few, and Officer Lin, please come to my home at eight tonight. I have important matters to discuss with you."
Sheng Huo waved his hand and said.
As he walked past the third son of the Li family, Sheng Huo casually patted the eldest son of the Li family on the shoulder.
"My condolences. You are the eldest son of the Li family, and with your father's passing, you must bear the responsibility of the eldest. After all, Hong Kong cannot be without the Li family!"
Upon hearing Sheng Huo's words, the eldest son of the Li family instantly understood. He bowed deeply to Sheng Huo, his face filled with emotion.
"Thank you, Uncle Huo, for your reminder! I will surely channel my grief into strength and help the Li family resume normal operations as soon as possible!"
"The departed has departed, and the living continue. The best remembrance is to carry on your father's legacy and honor the family tradition and Hong Kong!"
"Good! It's good that you understand!" Sheng Huo nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain, which had been hyped for days and filled with conflict, thus came to an end.
It seemed that apart from the deceased Yin Long Dao Ren and Li Fengcheng, no one else suffered significant losses.
Even without considering winners and losers, there were no real victors or vanquished.
The only true losers were Yin Long Dao Ren and Li Fengcheng.
