Signs on All Sides

"Why is Shi Gong following him around beating people up?"

Ao Li shouted, "Ao Moang admits defeat!" Ao Moang, who was wildly wielding a three-edged mace, had no choice but to concede defeat and was then pulled away by the Tongtian Rope.

The water curtain can display the situation of many people in the Kunlun Sacred Land, but the water curtain cannot make any sound.

Matters involving the outcome of a fight can be judged, but what was said can only be found out by questioning the person who came out.

Watching Buddha Son Shigong defeat Ao Mo Ang, Daoist Randeng was puzzled as to why Buddha Son Shigong had stopped stealing the Drunken Peach and instead started fighting.

"That old deity of Kunlun must have said something to Shi Gong!"

The Daoist Randeng murmured to himself, but he was equally puzzled.

Every Buddhist disciple in the Western Sect is selected from among thousands of people; a Buddhist disciple who has emerged from among thousands of people will have no friends.

Even those who were on good terms with Vishnu and his Buddha Son Shigong, such as Brahma and Vishnu, only banded together because of mutual interests; their relationships were as fragile as ice in spring.

Apart from the two leaders, Buddha Son Shigong would not trust anyone else.

But it all happened in the blink of an Daoist Randeng. In the short time it took for the two to approach each other, they inexplicably ended up together.

After leaving Taoyuan Buddha Son Shigong even took the initiative to defeat and eliminate Ao Mo Ang.

Ao Moang was a skilled young fighter, with a decent cultivation level of the Seventh Realm. He could even put up a fight against cultivators in the Sole Self Realm. However, he was powerless against the onslaught of the Buddha Son Shigong.

If it weren't for the fact that the Buddha Son Shigong, did not wish to kill the dragon, this dragon prince would have had no choice but to return home lying down.

"Ao Mo Ang, why did the Buddha Son Shigong so ruthlessly kill you?"

Without any old immortals poisoning people, Ao Moang was the only contestant whose body didn't need adjustment after being eliminated. After being pulled along, he obediently stood behind Ao Li.

Daoist Randeng asked a question, Ao Moang opened his mouth, but only responded after Ao Li nodded.

"He just told me to get out of the way, and then he attacked," Ao Moang replied honestly.

"And what about this person? What did he say?"

The Daoist Randeng pointed to Zhang Xuezhou in the water curtain and asked Ao Moang again.

"He didn't say anything," Ao Moang said. "My strength is far inferior to that of the Buddha Son Shigong, and how could I possibly defeat this fellow from the Immortal Court? Fortunately, the Great Dragon God declared defeat for me, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been injured!"

"My lord from the Immortal Court?"

Daoist Randeng thought to himself, "This is bad," and Li Jing's expression also changed slightly.

Wearing masks to conceal their identities has many advantages. Once Wang Wenqing and Hu Wenchang return to the Immortal Court, they can remove their masks and blend into the group of Immortal Court cultivators. The participants in the grand event will find it difficult to distinguish them, thus giving Wang Wenqing and his group an advantage in terms of attack and other aspects. They might even be able to fool their opponents into going the wrong way and entering the formation, just like the old immortal.

There are many ingenious uses for it; it just depends on how you use them.

But Li Jing didn't expect that before he could even take advantage of his home turf, someone would use his identity against him.

As soon as Li Jing thought about how the Empress and Emperor seemed to have neglected to report when the Immortal Court cultivators were eliminated, he knew very well that the other party must be the Holy Son of Kunlun.

"This century-long agreement is absolutely terrible!"

The elimination of all the Immortal Court cultivators left Li Jing with little hope. He felt that the battle for the century-long agreement would likely be completely manipulated by the Kunlun Holy Son, and few would come out on top.

"What on earth is this idiot trying to do?!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Daoist Randeng was already cursing the erratic behavior of the Buddha Son Shigong.

"Leopard Fang of the Nine Spirits Holy Land withdraws!"

Having defeated Ao Mo Ang, the Buddha Son Shigong clearly did not stop there. Instead, he defeated the Leopard Fang Demon King, who was in the same secret place as Ao Mo Ang.

Compared to Ao Moang, this Leopard Fang Demon King didn't fare so well; one of his eyes was almost blown out, and his left hand, which held the blade, was also broken.

Seeing that the King of Ten Thousand Foxes couldn't sit still and had to step in to help, Daoist Randeng was clearly very troubled by the trouble brought about by the Buddha Son Shigong.

"Rulai, Tathagata is more composed. Rulai, his homeland was massacred by the vassal states under Brahma and others. Sooner or later, a fierce battle will ensue between him and Shi Gong and others. Shi Gong has recently married a wife skilled in creating ice and snow. Tathagata's hands and feet Rulai cold and his movements slow in the ice and snow. How can he possibly win..."

Daoist Randeng cursed inwardly, but couldn't help but ponder the internal conflicts within the Western Sect. He felt that if the two leaders didn't kill a few Buddhist disciples, the Western Sect would inevitably fall apart in the future.

He has shamelessly tried to win Rulai Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Jianglong to Tathagata's side, but this Rulai Tathagata to win the competition for successor so that he can inherit the orthodoxy of the Western Sect.

"Rulai Buddha seizes the opportunity during the grand gathering of the hundred-year covenant to defeat Shi Gong, only by eliminating Shi Gong among the three gods, can Brahma and Vishnu's abilities—one skilled in magic and the other in scouting and patrolling—be rendered useless. As for the elusive Buddha's disciple, Wu Chao, let's not even mention him!"

As he gazed at the water curtain, the Daoist Randeng was filled with countless thoughts.

Although the Daoist Randeng was the leader of the Western Sect, his relationship with the Buddha Son Shigong was merely a business transaction.

As the leader, he is responsible for the safety of the members, but if some unavoidable accidents occur, it is not the responsibility of Rulai and Randeng.

Finding such an opportunity is not easy.

It requires either the right timing, the right location, and the right people, or it requires the Buddha Son Shigong to go mad, in order to have a legitimate reason to retaliate.

"The Twenty-Seventh of the Xieluosi River Holy Land is willing to admit defeat!"

The words of the Demon King Feiyu startled Daoist Randeng. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ao Sheng, who was looking smug, below Qing Ershiqi, who had been taken away by the Tongtian Rope.

Zhang Xuezhou's methods were underhanded and swift, much faster than a fight to determine a winner, making the century-old Mount Kunlun gathering almost a one-man show for his opponent.

Now that Ao Sheng had defeated Qingniao Yao Qing Ershiqi of the Xieluosi River Holy Land, it almost made Daoist Randeng mistakenly believe that Zhang Xuezhou and the others had defeated the contestants again.

"It's a pity that Zhu Shiyin is missing, and we didn't get to see the Holy Son of the Xieluosi River Holy Land this time," the Empress said with a frown.

"His Majesty's failure to strictly restrain Zhu Shiyin led to the simultaneous disappearance of Hairy Head Sun. He repeatedly instructed me to express my apologies to the Emperor and Empress when I came to the Heavenly Court," the Demon King Feiyu bowed and apologized.

No need for formalities!

The Emperor and Empress replied with displeasure, and then used magic to drag the unresisting Azure Bird Demon, Qing Twenty-Seven, to the front of the Jieyin array. After the messenger turned the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches plate, the Azure Bird Demon was also sent out.

Compared to Zhu Shiyin, this bluebird demon from the Xieluosi River Holy Land hadn't even fully developed its human form, so its strength was on a completely different level. It was essentially just a contestant there to make up the numbers, so it's not surprising that it was eliminated so early.

"Someone has arrived at the main hall!"

As an unfamiliar secret region emerged from the water curtain, a collapsed and abandoned dilapidated palace came into view, and everyone's faces showed strange expressions.

As the dilapidated scene came into view, the most mysterious Heavenly Court Hall of the Kunlun Sacred Land was opened to the public.

This will also reveal the true essence of the Heavenly Court. As Dharma Master Hongyi, marked by the long mirror, followed in Hongye's footsteps, they once again stepped into the main hall area of Heavenly Court.

Unlike Master Hongye, who was wandering around the perimeter, Hongyi actually entered the main hall area.

The dilapidated and collapsed scene came into view, and for a moment, no one could believe what they were seeing through the water curtain.

If it weren't for the large bronze chair at the very front of the broken hall, with its matching glass cup, no one would believe that this was once the main hall of the Kunlun Heavenly Court, a place where stars gathered.
