"The Supreme True Buddha came so quickly? Are they coming to make trouble for us?"
Xuanyuanzi was shocked.
"No... it's the Ruins of Zhangshi."
Wang Ba's expression darkened slightly.
The message came from Xiahou Heavenly Demon, who was hiding inside the Reclining Buddha.
He had specifically warned Wang Ba that the monks of the Supreme True Buddha had already begun heading toward the Ruins of Zhangshi.
However, the forces coming this time were nowhere near as grand as those sent to attack the Cloud-Heaven Realm last time.
Even so, he was rather surprised:
"I knew the Supreme True Buddha must have already set their sights on the Ruins of Zhangshi, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly."
Of course, what surprised him even more was that Xiahou Heavenly Demon knew he had unified the Ruins of Zhangshi. It seemed Xiahou Heavenly Demon still had people within the ruins, or perhaps even an avatar of his own there.
Xuanyuanzi considered this briefly, then asked with concern, "Do you need to hurry back immediately, fellow Daoist?"
Wang Ba nodded and sighed softly. "Now that the Supreme True Buddha has begun heading toward the Ruins of Zhangshi, I must hurry back as well. Fellow Daoist, I won't trouble you here any longer. I'll head back first, and we'll meet again another day."
Xuanyuanzi pondered for a moment, then reminded him, "You might wish to visit the Lord of the Still Cave, fellow Daoist. I think you may gain something."
Hearing this, Wang Ba's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately nodded. "That was precisely my intention."
When the cultivators there heard that Wang Ba was leaving, they all bowed. Quite a few even wanted to give him all the spirit plants and other such things nearby, but Wang Ba politely declined them
