Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Boba spoke earnestly to persuade Ning Jin Longba,

"The matter is big, the Six Great Families need to deliberate carefully." Ning Jin Longba, facing such a major issue, dared not make a rash decision alone,

so he got up to leave,

but Boba wanted to keep him, saying, "Lord Longba, don’t rush to leave, you can listen to my strategy first; capturing Zhou Xuan, in my opinion, is not difficult."

Ning Jin Longba sat down again, wanting to hear Boba’s idea, to see what kind of brilliant plan this Snowfield Golden Buddha had come up with to hunt the currently most popular Zhou Xuan.

Boba was about to speak when the door of the side room was knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Who is it?"

Boba asked.

"Senior brother, it’s me."

"Oh, Ning Yu, come in." Boba replied.

The door was pushed open, Zhou Xuan, disguised as Ning Yu, stepped in with small steps, shut the door gently, and then glanced at Ning Jin Longba, making an eye gesture to Boba.

This gesture was clear, Zhou Xuan had an important matter to discuss with Boba, fearing too many eyes would notice.

Boba smiled and said, "No problem, Lord Longba is here to join us in a major undertaking."

"Major undertaking? What major undertaking, why haven’t I heard from senior brother before?"

Zhou Xuan was already deep into the role; at this moment, he was Ning Yu, and Ning Yu, as a junior brother, naturally had to do the tasks of a junior brother.

He picked up the door bolt, intending to latch the door—discussing important matters required confidentiality first.

While he was bolting the door, Boba said, "We want to snatch Zhao Wuya away from Zhou Xuan, to use him as a sacrifice."

"Ah..."

Zhou Xuan’s "Ah" was heartfelt, where could he have imagined, having just impersonated Ning Yu and sneaked into Buddha Praise Heavenly Palace, to hear such shocking news.

At the same time, this "Ah" also greatly aligned with Ning Yu’s character—he knew, Ning Yu was definitely not a particularly brave person; hearing that senior brother intended to capture Zhao Wuya as a sacrifice, he would surely be as surprised.

"Ning Yu, don’t be surprised."

Boba advised, "Zhao Wuya harbors a great secret."

Zhou Xuan wasn’t interested in the secret, but instead asked, "Senior brother, snatching Zhao Wuya isn’t easy. Zhou Xuan is watching over him from beginning to end, protecting him."

"Zhou Xuan? If Zhou Xuan blocks our way, we’ll cut him down too."

Boba’s tone had a hint of ferocity, and upon hearing this, "Ning Yu" dropped the door bolt which rolled onto the ground,

this was Zhou Xuan overly acting the surprise of Ning Yu; at this moment, he was deeply immersed in the role, aided by the Hundred Human Phenomena, merging his mindset with Ning Yu hence the "dropping door bolt" behavior.

After watching the door bolt roll a few times, Zhou Xuan quickly lowered his body, pressed it down, and then silently bolted the door securely.

Seeing this, Ning Jin Longba joked, "Golden Buddha, Master Ning seems to have a particularly small courage."

"If you were bold, why didn’t you decide on my plan straight away?"

Boba retorted rudely, Longba was caught off guard, coughed twice to mask the awkwardness.

Ning Yu walked up to Boba and said, "Senior brother, Zhou Xuan and the others are about to return to Ping Shui Prefecture. They testified to our Revolving Wheel Temple’s limited Buddha energy in the Heavenly Spirit Tower,

and they are going to other Prefecture Cities to borrow Buddha energy."

"No problem, let them borrow."

Boba sneered and said, "Though Jing Country is vast, there aren’t many places with abundant Buddha energy, he’ll definitely be back."

"Yes." Zhou Xuan nodded.

And Ning Jin Longba curiously asked, "Why does Zhou Xuan need to borrow Buddha energy?"

Boba smiled and said, "He said... he’s going to Ping Shui Prefecture to deal with a Buddha Country Lord named ’Yanfuti’; he needs a large amount of Buddha energy to create a Sea of Buddha."

"Oh?"

"For this reason of borrowing Buddha energy, we can unknowingly cut down Zhou Xuan."

Boba declared with confidence, "We can kill him within the Snow Mountain Buddha Sea."

"What about after killing him?"

Ning Jin Longba asked, "After leaving the Buddha Sea, how will you face Zhou Xuan’s companions and escape unharmed?"

"I can create a new Zhou Xuan within the Buddha Sea—that new Zhou Xuan will be my puppet."

"Will others not discover this puppet?"

Ning Jin Longba asked.

Boba confidently replied, "Whether it’s divine skills, abilities, or personality, the new Zhou Xuan will be exactly the same as the old Zhou Xuan. The only difference is—the mind of the new Zhou Xuan will be stamped with a seal, becoming my marionette."

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Zhou Xuan applauded.

Ning Jin Longba’s tightly furrowed brow also relaxed quite a bit, he said, "This plan sounds very feasible."

"Just wait, as soon as Zhou Xuan comes to borrow Buddha energy, our plan can be launched."

Boba was very proud of his plan, further stating, "After Zhou Xuan becomes our puppet, Zhao Wuya will lose protection, snatching him as a sacrifice will be a piece of cake."

"A clever plan indeed..." Ning Jin Longba paused before continuing, "But I’ve never understood why Zhao Wuya must be the sacrifice this time? Is it because of the Wu Ya Zen within him?

Golden Buddha, forgive me for reminding, Wu Ya Zen is part of the Ancient Buddha, the avatar of the Ancient Buddha as a sacrifice, I fear even the Six Great Families will not agree."

"Rest assured, Zhao Wuya no longer has Wu Ya Zen within him." Boba replied casually.

The nearby Zhou Xuan felt amused upon hearing this, secretly speaking, "You, Boba, are Yanfuti’s child, you are the closest to Yanfuti, of course you know the Wu Ya Zen has been captured by that damned Buddha Mother."

"Since the Wu Ya Zen is gone, what is the use of Zhao Wuya?"

"What use? Zhao Wuya is originally a giant bird from the Snow Mountain."

"The Heavenly Peng Bird under the Ancient Buddha?" Ning Jin Longba was astonished to the point of dropping his jaw upon hearing this...
