Xuanxiao looked at the Ginseng Fruit that Duobao had gnawed to pieces and silently calculated. "There's no way I can host a Ginseng Fruit banquet for Kunpeng now. What should I do? It's all Duobao's fault. He came to the Daoist Palace looking for treasures—wasn't that just forcing me to beat him up?"

"Ding! Friendly reminder: West Queen Mother of West Kunlun possesses the Innate Spiritual Root, the Peaches of Immortality. You can go steal a few. Quest issued: Steal the peaches. Reward: Innate Spiritual Treasure, Snow Moon Sword."

When Xuanxiao heard the quest, he was overjoyed. He immediately concealed his presence and headed to West Kunlun. After sweeping the area with his divine sense, he found himself in an awkward situation—he had seen something he shouldn't have. As it turned out, West Queen Mother was bathing. Sensing the sweep of his divine sense, she flew into a rage. "What shameless wretch dares to bully me like this?"

Xuanxiao was helpless. He hurriedly asked the system in his heart, "What do I do?"

The system replied, "Listen carefully. Run your qi through the three meridians and seven chakras, and you'll be able to release Bodhi Sarira Light. Pin the blame directly on Zhunti. Remember, just give your real name... Then do this."

Xuanxiao immediately followed its instructions. In an instant, Sarira Light blazed around his body. "Fellow Daoist West Queen Mother, please don't attack. I'm Xuanxiao from East Kunlun. I took a wrong turn."

West Queen Mother flew into a rage. "Zhunti, can't you have even a little shame? Your Bodhi Sarira Light is leaking out!"

Xuanxiao hastily withdrew the Sarira Light and replaced it with the Pure Qi Auspicious Cloud exclusive to the lineage of the Three Pure Ones. "I really am Xuanxiao."

West Queen Mother flew into a rage and took out the Kunlun Mirror, intending to capture him. Xuanxiao hurriedly dodged away and sped toward Mount Sumeru. West Queen Mother had been bathing when his divine sense swept over her, so naturally she wasn't about to let him go. She chased after him at once. Thus, one pursued while the other fled, until they reached Mount Sumeru. Xuanxiao darted inside in a flash...

Because Jieyin and Zhunti had recently suffered one misfortune after another, they had kept the Mountain Protection Array active the entire time. This made West Queen Mother even more certain that the shameless Zhunti had just used his divine sense to spy on her bathing. She cursed loudly, "Zhunti, you had the nerve to spy on me in West Kunlun, but not the nerve to come out and face me?"

Hearing West Queen Mother cursing outside the mountain, Zhunti flew into a rage. "Hey! I, Zhunti, have never been interested in women. Fellow Daoist West Queen Mother, don't slander me!"

West Queen Mother angrily said, "I chased you all the way here, and you still dare deny it?"

Zhunti was helpless. "Fellow Daoist West Queen Mother, if you insist on framing me, then I'll have no choice but to attack." As he spoke, he took out the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Xuanxiao secretly asked the system in his heart, "Um... what do I do next?"

The system was speechless. "Obviously, you continue on to West Kunlun to steal the peaches... West Queen Mother and Zhunti are fighting here. Who's going to stop you? Later, transform into Jieyin's appearance and knock Nine Heavens Profound Lady unconscious. Then plunder every Peach of Immortality. This blame will land squarely on the Western side."

Following the system's instructions, Xuanxiao returned directly to West Kunlun and transformed into Jieyin. Three Pure Ones' Pure Qi billowed around him. He struck Nine Heavens Profound Lady unconscious with a single palm and thought, What a pity. If her foundation weren't so weak, I might have taken her in.

Afterward, Xuanxiao took action, leaving not a single blade of grass behind as he gathered up all the Peaches of Immortality. He slipped back to the Sun Star and held a Peach banquet with Dijun and the others.

Taiyi wore a look of shock. "Where did you get these Peaches of Immortality? West Queen Mother treasures them dearly."

Xuanxiao gave a sly grin. "I went through great difficulty to steal them. Don't let word get out. Only our group gets to eat them, understand?"

Dijun nodded. "Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong."

Meanwhile, West Queen Mother and Zhunti fought fiercely, but neither gained any advantage. Furious, West Queen Mother shouted outside Mount Sumeru, "Jieyin, Zhunti, this isn't over! Just you wait..."

Back in Pangu Hall, the Witch Clan was discussing how to deal with Kunpeng. Dijiang said, "A few days ago, Dijun came up with some ridiculous thing called the Demon Clan, which was irritating enough. Now Kunpeng has come up with something called the Way of Script? Using the primordial spirit to outline runes—what's the meaning of that? I suspect he's targeting our Witch Clan."

Jumang said, "Eldest Brother, there's no need to suspect it. He's very obviously targeting us. I heard Kunpeng is a giant fish, though I don't know if that's true."

Zhurong said, "I know about this. According to rumors from the demons of the North Sea, there's a fish in the Northern Darkness called a Kun. The Kun is so huge that even a bronze cauldron wouldn't be able to stew it all. It must be pretty big..."

Gonggong came out to complain. "Hmph, what kind of brain do you have? You remembered it wrong. The demons of the North Sea clearly said, 'No one knows how many thousands of miles it is,' and you're talking about a bronze cauldron being unable to stew it? With Kunpeng's cultivation, the North Sea itself couldn't stew that demon."

Xuanming pondered. "Forget what the exact saying is. The meaning is that Kunpeng, this big fish, is big enough, right? He also offended our Witch Clan. Let's go settle the score, beat him up, and stew him afterward. Come on." With that, she headed toward the entrance of Pangu Hall.

Dijiang said, "Gonggong, Xuanming may not be able to defeat Kunpeng. Go with her and do your best to capture him and bring him back."

Gonggong nodded. "Don't worry. Got it." With that, the two witches headed together for the North Sea. Unfortunately... they were destined to find nothing. Kunpeng was currently drinking with Dijun and the others on the Sun Star.
