"Reporting to the Hall Master~" Taishi Zhanran had never expected to summon Kong Hongwu so quickly. Hearing Kong Hongwu's rebuke, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. "There is a Buddhist sect disciple within the star formation under this general's jurisdiction, and that disciple has remained inside the defensive formation for several months already!"
"What? Your defensive formation has been active for several months? Could it be... that the Buddhist sect disciple within it has discovered something..." A trace of anxiety appeared on Kong Hongwu's face. If the matters of the Immortal Palace became known to the Daoist sect, perhaps he would not fear it. But if the Buddhist sect caught even the faintest scent of it, then... how could he possibly conceal it?
Taishi Zhanran nodded. "Indeed! This general feared that the Buddhist sect disciple might discover something, so I sent the star map into the defensive formation. Once the star map emerged, the entire formation operated at its utmost limit. If it cannot force him out, it will kill him!"
"Hmph, why force him out? Kill him outright!" Kong Hongwu snorted coldly. "If that Buddhist sect disciple discovers the abnormalities of this Yaotai Gathering, how can our Star Lord Palace remain on the Cangxian Continent? How can you and I still have the face to return to the Immortal Palace?"

"Mm, keep a close watch
