Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Chapter 1442: Chapter 535: Sacrificial Wine Wandering God (3)

"What I said is not false, the turtle shell has already divined the result," defended Chen Lanzi.

Lord Jiu sneered, "Do you think I didn’t know the whereabouts of the ’Ten Fingers’ at that time?"

"Then why don’t you punish Zhou Lingyi?"

"Why punish? She used the ’Ten Fingers’ to save her brother. This kind of human affection, you really don’t understand. If, one day, your relatives need some Alien Ghosts to save them, should our God Traveling Department remain upright or show leniency?"

"Affection is mutual. Today, you grant me your favor; in the future, I will repay it."

Lord Jiu gestured with both hands.

Chen Lanzi, unaware of why Lord Jiu was bringing up past events, coldly said, "Is Lord Jiu going to teach me some human principles?"

"I want you to remember my favor."

Lord Jiu’s expression suddenly turned fierce, and with a sneer, he said, "The report you submitted to me, I burned it on the same day—if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be alive now."

"How do you say that?"

"If you knew what a terrifying figure Zhou Xuan is, you would understand."

Lord Jiu stared coldly at Chen Lanzi, "If you caused the people from the Capital City to capture his sister, Zhou Xuan would show you... the desperation between life and death—the Dun Jia couldn’t protect you, nor could the Ping Shui Prefecture."

"Hmph."

Chen Lanzi snorted again, but this time, her stance was noticeably less resolute.

She imagined if Zhou Lingyi had been captured by the authorities because of the report she submitted to the Capital Mansion, then her fate...

"Would I end up as miserable as those six Supreme of the Dun Jia?" murmured Chen Lanzi.

Lord Jiu, being close, naturally overheard this, and said coldly, "No, you would end up far worse—the six Supremes never touched Zhou Lingyi."

"Stop thinking about fighting Zhou Xuan, and stop being at odds with Master Zhou; you couldn’t defeat them before, and now Zhou Xuan has gained momentum. He’s the strong one, and you’re just a slender pinky finger. You can’t win; go do what you must,

in the future Ping Shui Prefecture, take whatever Zhou Xuan Mr. says as the ’Arrow Order.’ Just follow whatever he says."

"Absurd... absurd..."

Faced with the same harsh verdict, Chen Lanzi now spoke with a certain sense of helplessness.

And just then, a powerful and heavy drum sound swept across.

Lord Jiu looked up to the sky, immediately retracting his severe attitude from chastising Chen Lanzi, and adopted a "flattering, smiling" demeanor.

He stood up, cupping his hands in salute, "Ping Shui Prefecture’s Little Jiu, warmly greets the three Heavenly Dome Gods."

Li Changxun, the Eternal Life Sect Leader, and Tiancan Monk all descended.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk knew Lord Jiu as the ’Witch God’s’ Human World Walker; they naturally came to pay their respects to Lord Jiu for this Pilgrimage.

"No need, no need, we all work for Master Zhou."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader said with a grin while shaking a rattle.

Lord Jiu naturally exchanged pleasantries with the three.

Tiancan Monk then said, "The Eternal Life Sect Leader and I heard about Master Zhou’s encounter with the Buddha Country Lord, so we hurried over."

"What Buddha Country Lord, meeting our Master Zhou means getting a good thrashing."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader said immediately.

"Should be thrashed, should be thrashed, but for us, sealing the mountain suffices, and the rest follows Mr.’s command."

Lord Jiu said cheerfully.

"Indeed, indeed." Li Changxun said, then turned to Lord Jiu, "Old Jiu, Ping Shui Prefecture truly is fortunate, with Mr. in charge, no Realm Master can enjoy the spoils."

"Yes, the three God-level entities have come to assist, it’s truly a strong lineup." Lord Jiu thought today’s scene was quite grand.

Unexpectedly, the Eternal Life Sect Leader laughed, saying, "We, Tiancan Monk and I, don’t count as heavyweights. Just look at the sky."

Lord Jiu looked up, only to see numerous Divine Silks drifting across the Heavenly Dome, with a vague jade disc hanging high.

"Changsheng Palace Master has already ordered, all Daoists in the palace are on standby, and if Master Zhou is at risk, all palace Daoists will descend together."

"White Jade Capital has also received the news, and if Master Zhou is in trouble, they won’t stand idly by."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader eagerly introduced.

This time, not only Chen Lanzi was taken aback, even Lord Jiu clicked his tongue—he knew Zhou Xuan had face, but didn’t expect it to be this momentous.

Lord Jiu shook his head, turned to Chen Lanzi, and spoke with underlying meaning.

"Mr. has major influence, with the Ancient God of the Sky Dome, the White Jade Capital, and Immortal Daoists, any one or two picked out is enough to make waves in the human world,

All three parties gathered—don’t mention the Seventeen Layers of the Buddha Country’s Lord, even if the Seventh Layer’s Lord came over, what could they do?"

Chen Lanzi saw Lord Jiu’s slightly mocking gaze and sighed inwardly before lowering her head, saying, "Lord Jiu, I’ll go take care of my matters."

"Go, go, Lanzi, some things are worth understanding."

"Lanzi understands."

Chen Lanzi once envied Zhou Lingyi—this young Witch, upon arriving at Ping Shui Prefecture, became an esteemed figure within the prefecture.

Driven by jealousy, Chen Lanzi also disliked Zhou Xuan.

But now, Zhou Xuan ascended to great power, dominating Ping Shui Prefecture and Mingjiang Prefecture, and all she could do was hide her envy inside.

"Thank you, Lord Jiu."

Chen Lanzi came to understand Zhou Xuan’s connections—with the capability to summon the Ancient God of the Sky Dome, she feared she had reported the wrong paperwork up.

"Thankfully, Lord Jiu burned it, it was burned well."

"In your future dealings, avoid small-minded scheming, as I won’t tolerate it next time."

Lord Jiu once again reminded Chen Lanzi.

"Lanzi understands, Lanzi understands."

Chen Lanzi summoned her "Sacrificial Wine Lantern" and flew away from the place.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader, Tiancan Monk, Li Changxun, took no notice of Chen Lanzi, as if she were just a bird flitting by, unnoticed, coming and going without consequence.

The three focused solely on looking inside Lotus Mountain, watching Zhou Xuan’s movements.

...

At Lotus Graveyard, Zhou Xuan gazed at the sky.

He saw many familiar faces arriving.

Zhao Wuya also noticed, counting on his fingers,

"Ping Shui You Shen, two ancestral grandfathers, two Ancient Gods, the Zhou Family Ancestor Tree’s shade reached here, Divine Silks drift across the sky dome, and possibly some Daoists descending... did the Hundred-eyed Child violate heavenly laws?"

Zhou Xuan also pondered, saying, "I merely asked them to seal the mountain, how did Little Brain summon so many people here?"

"Big Boss, I’m back. I told them that Yanfuti revealed itself, and everyone decided to come."

Little Brain returned excitedly.

Zhou Xuan nodded, saying, "Alright, they’ve come, though many, having more isn’t necessarily bad. I’ll just perform for some old friends of mine what’s called—burning the mountain to hunt."

Without hesitation, he summoned his Kongming Mirror.

Through the Kongming Mirror, Zhou Xuan’s Bone Teeth continuously etched that "Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Suppressing Buddha" tattoo map.

At that moment,

Zhou Xuan’s Kongming Mirror suddenly began to sway slightly. This sway felt like an invisible finger reaching into the mirror, creating ripples that hit the mirror’s edge, causing it to rock.

This was something Zhou Xuan had never encountered before when summoning the Kongming Mirror...
