Wandering Gods of Day and Night

"Bang!"

After a loud bang, the housekeeper’s head smashed to pieces, white and red, flowing slowly down the mountain.

One or two wouldn’t be considered horrific, but dozens of people, pushed randomly by an invisible hand against the mountain, shattered chests, and abdomen sacks.

Those unbearable, slightly steaming innards slid down the mountain, the pure white snow dyed blood red, intertwined, creating a scene that warmed Bai Ze Longba’s pants.

Since birth, it’s the first time he witnessed the people of Longba Manor being massacred so brutally. At that moment, he finally understood—though Longba Manor was famous and influential in Snow Plain Prefecture, it didn’t mean no one dared to attack the manor.

The cruel punishments Longba Manor used on others are today being visited upon the manor itself by outsiders.

Bai Ze’s face turned pale, terror-stricken, wanting to lower his head, but Zhou Xuan’s right hand gripped his jaw like an iron clamp.

"Kid, when you used your family’s male and female slaves to fish for Ghost-faced Eels, didn’t you enjoy watching it?"

"Weren’t you quite proud when destroying entire families’ bones and tendons? Now that people around you are dying one after another, can’t bear to look, huh?"

Zhou Xuan’s words in Bai Ze’s ear were no less terrifying than the voice of a death-claiming Evil Ghost.

Bai Ze shook uncontrollably due to overwhelming fear.

His teeth continuously trembled, slight random collisions, making a "da da" noise.

"Hero, I don’t know who you are, but I think you must want something, say it."

"I am the most favored son of the Longba family. Whatever you want, my father will get it for you, even if you want the moon from the sky, for my sake, he will pluck it down."

Bai Ze pleaded for mercy with a bitter face.

He finally knew that this Mr. from Mingjiang Prefecture truly dared to kill him.

Zhou Xuan shook his head slowly, saying, "I want nothing, just make a bet with you. If you win, I’ll let you go."

"What bet, Hero, just say it... Just say it." Bai Ze began to sob.

Zhou Xuan pointed to the emerald heavenly pool’s Cold Pond, saying, "Bai Ze kid, you came here, lured by greed, to fish for Ghost-faced Eels, right?"

"Yes."

"You also caught a Ghost-faced Eel, right?" Zhou Xuan asked again.

"Yes, yes." Bai Ze nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Then I’ll throw you kids into the heavenly pool now, if the Ghost-faced Eels, don’t eat you, you win the bet."

"How, how can I win the bet?"

Glancing at the pool, Bai Ze saw several dark shadows seeming to swim in the emerald deep waters.

The shadows were large, likely Ghost-faced Eels—their families perhaps, seeking the vanished smaller Ghost-faced Eel in the pool.

If Bai Ze collided with those Ghost-faced Eels, then...

"You must bet."

Without waiting for Bai Ze to react, Zhou Xuan tossed Bai Ze Longba, along with several other Longba family children, into the heavenly pool.

The kids floundered endlessly, struggling like the fishing male and female slaves.

Bai Ze Longba tried to swim towards the shore, barely making a few strides when a shadow several meters long appeared underwater—the elongated and flat large Ghost-faced Eel approached,

"Ah!"

Bai Ze screamed in terror,

In the emerald pool, emerged a hint of red, red frighteningly intense, red dazzlingly enchanting...

Zhou Xuan, seeing things mostly done, called out to the Eternal Life Sect Leader: "Little Changsheng."

"Master, I’m here."

Hearing Zhou Xuan call, the Eternal Life Sect Leader hurried over.

Zhou Xuan said, "Once things are settled, you and Tiancan Monk, take the male and female slaves to Mingjiang Prefecture."

"But they are people from Snow Plain Prefecture."

"They have slave status, returning to Snow Plain Prefecture means death, better to send them to Mingjiang Prefecture, the Shan De Association there is a charitable organization, they will treat these slaves kindly."

Zhou Xuan said.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader asked again: "Master, that Wuya Taoist came to Snowfield and hasn’t awoken, we should go to Mingjiang Prefecture, if so, shall we send him back to Ping Shui Prefecture?"

"Fine."

Zhou Xuan said: "Let Ya Zi rest first at Ping Shui Prefecture, and when you reach Mingjiang Prefecture, do another thing."

"Master, just instruct."

"Go to Mingjiang Huifeng Medical College, find Turtle Mountain Daoist, have him pretend to be me."

Zhou Xuan wanted to undercover it to the end—that Boba thought he truly left Snow Plain Prefecture, searching elsewhere for abundant Buddha energy.

If so, it must play it the full way, letting the Eternal Life Sect Leader, Tiancan Monk, take Turtle Mountain Daoist, touring major prefecture cities in Jing Country, acting like searching for Buddha energy.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader understood, nodding incessantly, showing comprehension.

"Alright, I’m leaving first."

Just about to depart, Zhou Xuan remembered something, turned around to instruct the Eternal Life Sect Leader: "Oh, when Ning Jin Longba arrives, you Three Divine Beings must use ’Moving Mountains’ magic to make those two peaks shake continuously."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader pondered deeply, tasted thoroughly, said: "If this way, the large mouth formed by two mountains will have a chewing meaning... Master, only you can create such scenes."
