"Possibly. This Demoness is cunning and full of tricks. Who knows what other backup plans she might have?"
Master Ziguang's expression turned serious. "If this Daoist Ning breaks through to the tenth level of the Nascent Soul Realm one day, I'm afraid even those two from the Illusion Star Palace won't be a match for him if they join forces. If we invite him to help the Nether Buddha Sect subdue the demon, perhaps we can eliminate this Demoness once and for all."
Master Zisong froze.
He hadn't expected the sect master to be thinking of recruiting him.
While he was still stunned, he heard Master Ziguang murmur to himself, "It would be even better if he joined the Nether Buddha Sect..."
Master Zisong could only smile wryly. "Senior Brother Ziguang, I'm afraid that might be difficult. His body-tempering art is even stronger than our Nine Nether Heavenly Buddha Art."
"Isn't that the truth? I was only thinking aloud."
Master Ziguang smiled sheepishly.
The two left the bamboo grove and went their separate ways. Master Zisong found Zinian and brought him to the courtyard where Chen Changming was staying.
At that moment, Chen Changming was anxiously waiting in a room in the courtyard. He spotted Master Zizhu entering the courtyard through the window, accompanied by an old monk with kind eyes and a benevolent face, and immediately brightened.
He hurried to open the door and ushered the two inside.
"Daoist Ning, where is your injured friend?" As soon as he entered, Master Zinian asked impatiently.
Chen Changming waved his hand, and the Universe Pagoda appeared.
A flash of light passed, and Gu Huaibei appeared on the bed.
Gu Huaibei still wore a black cloak, so there was no need to worry that anyone would recognize her.
