Master Guzhen's Buddha palm descended, while the Heavenly King's demonic palm likewise worked in concert with it, imprisoning an area roughly an acre around the banner. On the side of the banner near Guzhen, Buddha light overflowed; on the side near the Heavenly King, demonic qi surged.

Countless sounds arose within the space. Guzhen watched coldly. Although the myriad Yingluo continued to pour forth, the banner clearly would not attack on its own.
