Chapter 1434: Chapter 533: A Glimpse, A World (Part 2)
But apparently,
he miscalculated. Those mountain winds, upon reaching the cloud wall, penetrated it effortlessly without the wall even stirring,
the fierce wind continued to slice through the Hundred-eyed Child’s flesh, and the crimson blood seeped into the cloud wall’s structure.
The originally pure white wall was stained with blood.
"Alas."
Zhao Wuya sighed.
What a wonderful cloud wall it was, originally intended to serve as the swaddling of the Hundred-eyed Child.
Now, alas, it could no longer be a swaddling cloth, but as a shroud, it was more than enough.
"Brother Xuan, what should we do?"
Zhao Wuya asked after hearing a muffled groan from within the cloud wall.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "Disperse the wall."
"Alas."
Zhao Wuya withdrew the incense, and the cloud wall dissolved, turning into wisps of red mist, drifting away with the wind, while the Hundred-eyed Child had become nothing but a skeleton, falling down.
Zhou Xuan’s lucky streak held, but the clue he grasped had also snapped.
"There’s something strange about the gale in the mountains."
Zhou Xuan was not disheartened; instead, he gazed at the distant verdant hills and mountains and spoke lightly.
The Hundred-eyed Child Zhou Xuan held was, according to Little Brain’s speculation, nothing more than a wisp of consciousness of the real Hundred-eyed Child.
Lotus Mountain was the Hundred-eyed Child itself.
To avoid further interrogation by Zhou Xuan, the Hundred-eyed Child simply severed an arm, cutting off that wisp of consciousness.
One must say, the real Hundred-eyed Child was indeed outrageously arrogant. Cutting off his consciousness was one thing; he brazenly conveyed messages on the mountain winds.
"Zhou Xuan, with your skills, you can’t find me."
"In the Buddha Country, it is said that Zhou Xuan is an unparalleled Demon Master from Jing Country, but in my opinion, he’s just so-so."
"If the Yanfutai Buddha Mother were here in these mountains, today, you would be buried at Lotus Mountain."
"Hahaha... hahaha!"
The Hundred-eyed Child relentlessly mocked Zhou Xuan, and the winds across the mountain echoed with wave after wave of stronger taunts, whether east, south, west, or north.
Yet Zhou Xuan laughed sternly, "He thinks he’s smart, but he’s actually very foolish."
This remark elicited a sympathetic response from Zhao Wuya,
Ya Zi patted Zhou Xuan’s shoulder, consolingly adopting a "been-there-done-that" demeanor, "Brother Xuan, don’t be discouraged. As the saying goes, even the wisest may make a mistake; even immortals have their naps."
"..." Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan squinted and said, "I didn’t make a mistake this time."
"Stop pretending, the Hundred-eyed Child has already run away, and you didn’t mess up? I heard you curse yourself just now, saying you thought you were smart but were actually foolish—I heard that, stop pretending," Zhao Wuya continued.
Zhou Xuan flicked his finger at Zhao Wuya’s forehead and reprimanded, "I was mocking that Hundred-eyed Child for thinking he was smart, but actually being very foolish; you misheard."
"He ran away, and he’s still foolish?"
"If he didn’t run, interrogating him would be tough, but now that he’s run, he’s shown his true colors."
Zhou Xuan spoke with confidence,
Zhao Wuya, upon hearing this, found it strange and said, "Brother Xuan, what are you up to now?"
"There must be something off; Ya Zi, Little Brain, let’s have a word."
With these words, Zhou Xuan summoned his "Shanshui Jian" stone temple.
The temple door opened halfway, sweeping Zhao Wuya, Little Brain, and Zhou Xuan inside, then it closed tightly, and the entire temple began sinking into the ground.
This stone temple completely isolates against the possibility of "walls have ears."
Not even the Hundred-eyed Child, nor the will such as "Heaven and Earth," could listen to the conversation within.
...
Inside the temple, Danzi was not chanting this time, but instead dozing off in a corner.
When the three entered, Danzi heard the noise, opened his eyes to look over, but he didn’t greet them, instead turning over to continue drifting off.
Zhou Xuan patted Danzi’s belly and said, "Danwa, stop sleeping, wake up, let’s talk business."
"All your stuff is trivial; if you want to talk business, talk about how to take me to see ’Dan Mother.’"
"Then wake up and let’s talk about trivial things." Zhou Xuan remained unfazed.
Danzi: "..."
"So, talking is secondary; you mainly don’t want me to sleep, right?" Danzi stretched lazily and sat up.
Zhou Xuan recounted what had happened, verbatim, to Danzi.
After listening, Danzi didn’t have much of a reaction, only asked, "So, are you expecting me to catch that damn Hundred-eyed Child you chased away? I’m telling you, I can’t do it."
"Danwa, didn’t you understand what I was saying?"
Zhou Xuan highlighted the key point and said, "The wind wall Zhao Wuya and I built was easily broken by the Hundred-eyed Child."
"That just means your skills are lacking. Your methods are insufficient; you’re not good enough.
What’s there to talk about? Just practice more if you suck."
Danzi put on a haughty face.
Zhou Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "There’s something unusual here. Think about it: Zhao Wuya and I joined forces to build the wind wall. That’s a great skill; even a god-level couldn’t break it so easily,
yet the Hundred-eyed Child, despite not having high combat skills, how could he have broken it so easily? There’s definitely something fishy here."
Danzi, upon hearing this, agreed it made sense and tilted his head, asking, "So what’s next?"
"When that gust of wind entered our cloud wall, the wall didn’t even move, as if it didn’t react."
Zhou Xuan said, "I suspect that this wind didn’t come from the real space... it came from another dimension of Jing Country,
