Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Lord Jiu whistled and led the rest of the You Shen to retreat.

...

After entering Ping Shui Prefecture, the Six Buddha Slaves did not turn into the winter wind. Moreover, they concealed their ferocious Dharma Images and transformed into six ordinary wandering monks.

They lined up in a queue, continuously heading towards Lotus Mountain. Anyone passing by would think they were "ascetic" little monks.

After Zhou Xuan helped the Six Buddha Slaves resolve the "troubles" from the God Traveling Department, the Bead Holder Slave said to the Golden Body Slave, "Master Slave, Zhou Xuan has quite the presence. First, it was the gods carrying his sedan, and now with just a word, he can make the God Traveling Department let us through."

"Without such presence, why would Ning Ba have awakened us old monsters?"

The Golden Body Slave said, "Once we kill Zhou Xuan today, remember to ask Boba for Zhou Xuan’s ’Four Heavenly Venerable Cloud Patterns.’ Within those patterns lies the skull of an Ancient Buddha."

The awakening of the Six Buddha Slaves is not without reason.

They were all once Human World Walkers serving the Ancient Buddhas, and they knew a lot about the "Dream of the Four Heavenly Venerables."

"Naturally."

The Ancient Scripture Slave, on the side, worriedly said, "Master Slave, do you think the Nuo God will awaken today?"

"Are you afraid of the Nuo God?"

The Golden Body Slave suddenly stopped and turned to ask the Ancient Scripture Slave.

The Ancient Scripture Slave, without any sign of shame, nodded and said, "Yes, I am."

Unlike Boba, who looked down on the Nuo God, these Six Buddha Slaves had seen the presence of the Nuo God during ancient times; they understood the Nuo God’s power all too well.

"Hmm, I am afraid too."

After confessing, the Golden Body Slave changed the topic, saying, "However, there is nothing to fear today. The Nuo God will not awaken."

"Truly?" the Kasaya Slave asked on the side.

"Of course," the Golden Body Slave said. "The War Intent of the entire Ping Shui Prefecture has sunk very low, indicating that the Nuo God’s slumber is extremely deep, and he cannot awaken."

"Then we can relax."

The Buddha Slaves breathed a sigh of relief. Among the six of them, the most feared entity was the Nuo God. Now that he could not awaken, there was no one in Ping Shui Prefecture who could stop them.

...

A quarter of an hour later, the Six Buddha Slaves had approached the ruins of Lotus Temple,

In front of the halfway-collapsed temple gates, there was a languid woman holding a cat, sitting in a Taishi chair sunbathing and petting the cat.

The Buddha Slaves immediately split into two columns to bypass the woman,

But surprisingly, the woman spoke leisurely, "The Little Class Master of Zhou Family’s Troupe, Zhou Lingyi, greets the Six Buddha Slaves."

Upon hearing the name "Zhou Family’s Troupe," the Golden Body Slave immediately stopped and asked, "Master Zhou, you knew we were coming?"

Zhou Lingyi squinted her eyes and said, "I didn’t know at first. I only knew my brother went to Snow Plain Prefecture to borrow Buddha energy. But just after my brother left, someone told me that you were going to enter Lotus Temple to build a Buddha Sea, that’s when I knew you were coming."

The Dharma Image was of the Buddha Slave wearing the Fierce Ghost Mask, but wasn’t called—the Ghost-faced Slave.

He stood farthest from Zhou Lingyi, but he still sensed a strong Netherworld aura emanating from her.

"Master Zhou, you have a heavy scent of Soul Shepherd City on you."

"Do you come from the Netherworld?"

The Ghost-faced Slave asked.

Zhou Lingyi did not reply, but instead warned the Six Buddha Slaves, "All of you eminent monks are supreme symbols of the Snow Plain Prefecture, but as a little class master, let me advise you,

Building a Buddha Sea is building a Buddha Sea; don’t create any messy insignias,

This place can be Ping Shui Prefecture, or it could be the Netherworld teeming with Red Spider Lilies."

Her words were full of warning,

But the Golden Body Slave simply laughed heartily, "Master Zhou, you overstate things. We’re simply here to build a Buddha Sea and nothing else, no need to worry."

Having said that, he cupped his fists and led the remaining Buddha Slaves into the temple.

On the way into the temple, the Ghost-faced Slave asked in confusion, "Master Slave, that Zhou Lingyi is no simple person."

"Indeed, not simple."

Throwing a glance back, the Golden Body Slave said to the others, "I mentioned before, today’s Ping Shui Prefecture harbors very low War Intent.

But... that Zhou Lingyi’s War Intent is exceptionally high. For a moment, within her lazy demeanor, I glimpsed something reminiscent of the Nuo God."

Upon hearing the word "Nuo God," a hint of worry flashed involuntarily in the eyes of the slaves.

The Golden Body Slave sighed and said, "Now, I don’t even know if the Nuo God will awaken, so once inside the temple, remain discreet. Stick to Boba’s plan, eliminate Zhou Xuan within the Buddha Sea without a trace."

All the slaves agreed.

...

Outside Ping Shui Prefecture, hundreds of carefully selected specialists from the Six Great Families had already assembled,

These individuals, led by Ning Jin Longba of Longba Manor and Gang Jari Ze of Rize Manor, were set to enter Pingshui Prefecture City.

However, before the city gates, a man dressed in a white shirt stood, holding two long wooden boxes in hand.

"People from Snow Plain Prefecture are not allowed to enter the city."

Lord Jian said in a voice that wasn’t loud.

Ning Jin Longba asked, "Who are you?"

"Sun Controller of Ping Shui Prefecture, Teng Jian."

Faced with the formidable presence of the Six Great Families, Lord Jian responded with great authority...
