Chapter 1278: Chapter 482: Pink Nebula (Part 2)

At the entrance of the cave stood a young, slender figure, none other than Zhou Xuan.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader recognized the visitor and immediately changed his previously stern expression, smiling as he spoke, "I never expected to see Mr. here in this cave?"

"The power of the Heavenly Fire, combined with some of the magic from Wuwen Mountain, has an intriguing similarity, mainly focusing on depriving others of their Taoist practices and incense,

I felt the presence of the Heavenly Fire emerge, so I came on a day trip to have a look. Did I interrupt the Sect Leader’s important matters?"

Zhou Xuan said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

"It’s nothing important, just a minor friction between King Xishan and me. I just moved some family laws for a slight punishment."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader smiled radiantly, but soon, one sentence from Zhou Xuan caused his smile to freeze.

"Oh? King Xishan and I are old friends, not related by blood, but we share familial ties and friendships. Sect Leader, you’re using your family law to punish my people? You’re quite something!"

Zhou Xuan’s words left the Eternal Life Sect Leader stunned; he suddenly realized that Zhou Xuan was standing up for King Xishan.

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Mr.’s incense battle power today is truly impressive, and you are the future prominent Dan Officer of the Heavenly Dome. How could I dare move against your people?"

"Then, keep a distance from the Fox Clan from now on."

Zhou Xuan turned his head and said to King Xishan, "Lao Xi, the alchemy is about to begin, aren’t you going to lend a hand?"

"Mr., I’m coming over, I’m coming over," King Xishan’s expression softened a bit, tears welling up in his eyes as he spoke.

"Hmm."

After Zhou Xuan responded, he took another day trip to leave, while King Xishan calmed his emotions and then coldly said to the Eternal Life Sect Leader, "Sect Leader, Mr. has urgent matters calling me, forgive me for not accompanying you."

Even now, he maintained his excellent demeanor, never losing his usual poise,

but it was precisely this courteous manner that made the Eternal Life Sect Leader feel extremely frustrated. After King Xishan left, he said angrily, "King Xishan, you’ve chosen a good master! The road ahead is long, be careful not to slip. If you stumble, I’ll make your Fox Clan regret it."

Tiancan Monk also felt indignant and said to the Eternal Life Sect Leader, "That Zhou Xuan is somewhat too inconsiderate. He hasn’t even become the Dan Officer yet, and he already ignores us both..."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader, in a ’reprimanding’ manner, stared at Tiancan Monk and said, "Speak no more of Zhou Xuan’s shortcomings in the future. He’s not someone we can afford to offend."

"..." Tiancan Monk.

"Zhou Xuan can slice a Dream Realm Heavenly God’s avatar with one strike. He gains recognition from the Green Sheep Palace Master and even Bai Yujing through his alchemy, and has Butcher and incense fire Taoist backing him up. Such a person? Can we afford to offend them?"

After finishing, the Eternal Life Sect Leader shared his survival philosophy, saying, "Old Can, let me give you one more piece of advice: when walking in the human world, only bully those who are easy to bully. When you encounter a truly strong person, nod, bow, and smile; that is the legitimate path."

Tiancan Monk finally realized—no wonder the Eternal Life Sect Leader has survived for so long and is one of the ancient gods of the Heavenly Dome; he’s truly understood life?

It’s clear that "it was Zhou Xuan standing up for King Xishan," yet the Eternal Life Sect Leader only sublimates his anger towards King Xishan and holds no grudge against Zhou Xuan.

"The human world’s interpersonal relationships are too complex. I still have a lot to learn."

Tiancan Monk sighed, expressing.

...

"Hmph, that old Dream Realm is truly despicable, impersonating me. Deserved to be slain."

The misunderstanding between Mingjiang Prefecture and the incense fire Taoist was resolved when Zhou Xuan clearly stated he was joking with the Old Incense, causing the incense fire Taoist to feel disgruntled.

Upon returning from the mountain cave, Zhou Xuan pointed at the corpses in Xie Family’s Cave and said to the incense fire Taoist, "Old Incense, don’t be quick to get angry. Let’s talk about business—here, you can’t take any of the corpses with you."

The corpses above the nine sticks of incense in the human world all need to be compiled by the incense fire Taoist and reported back to the "Time-Space World."

Faced with Zhou Xuan’s demand, the incense fire Taoist hesitated, saying, "Zhou Housheng, you’re quite overbearing. Among these corpses, I have no jurisdiction over the Buddha Country Five Forms; they aren’t Jing Country people,

but the bodies of the Six Supreme Duan Jia, I need to take them back to the Time-Space World."

But Zhou Xuan shook his head like a rattle and said, "What Six Supreme Duan Jia? They’re all Buddha Country people."

"..." incense fire Taoist.

"The people of the entire Mingjiang Prefecture, ordinary walkers, can testify that the six Duan Jia Supreme embraced Buddha Country nationality at my stage."

Zhou Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, saying, "If they didn’t die by my hands, by now they would already be obeying the orders of the Buddha Master."

"I affirm every word of Mr.’s; there is nothing false about it. The Six Supreme Duan Jia claimed the Medicine Buddha of Buddha Country as their new master in the play."

"As Mr. says, what Six Supreme Duan Jia? They are all Buddha Country people."

The Painter and Music Master chimed in one after another.

"Is that so?"

The incense fire Taoist flicked his horsetail whisk and said, "In that case, I’m in no position to manage affairs after their deaths. I don’t have the authority to handle Buddha Country bodies, so they..."

His horsetail whisk pointed at the corpses on the ground, revealing a sly grin of "I know how to be flexible," saying, "they’re yours, Zhou Housheng."

"Very well, very well."

Zhou Xuan said no more, and tossed the bodies of the Dun Jia Disciples, Supremes, and Buddha Country Five Forms one by one into his Secret Realm.

With so many of the nine sticks of incense, he worried that the Blood Well might get overstuffed.

"Can’t finish, simply can’t finish."
