Mutual Restraint

Being around top figures is an honor, but also a constraint.

The fact that Your Majesty allows Zou Bugui enter and leave the secret realm, and even greets Daojun and Nine Spirits Yuansheng on your behalf, shows that you have bound Zou Bugui to the point where it is impossible for him to leave.

Zou Bugui aware of this.

At this moment, he was like a eunuch serving emperors, bound to the palace for his entire life.

Except for a few favored officials who could travel freely, most eunuchs would enter the palace quietly and die in obscurity.

Zou Bugui will be no exception.

That's why he devoted all his attention to Zhang Xuezhou.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou Zou Bugui, it was his only choice, and he ultimately carried it through to the end.

Knowing his inner convictions, the Emperor felt more at ease assigning him tasks. Even Zhang Xuezhou's death sentence for leading Li Guang, which brought great calamity, was pardoned by the Emperor and instead converted into hard labor.

Listening to the three Sacred Land lords' banter and seeing the troubled Venerable One, Zou Bugui's brows also furrowed slightly.

If His Majesty is not doing well, there will inevitably be someone to whom he will vent his anger.

This target could be powerful demons who didn't play a role, Zhang Xuezhou who caused trouble, or Lingyu, Feiyu, and other related individuals.

Zou Bugui seek to gain any benefits; he only wished that Zhang Xuezhou could arrive at the Sacred Land safely and leave safely, ultimately enabling the Yin-Yang School to flourish.

He pondered for several seconds, then whispered something to His Excellency.

"Young people like him definitely need to be more quick-witted!"

His Majesty makes no secret of the fact that someone is helping him think about it.

After all, he was prepared to bestow the Yang Soul Dharma Body upon others, so he clearly had no intention of becoming the sole ruler.

If someone else's suggestion solves his problem, the Venerable One thinks it couldn't be better, and he won't get angry at all.

"You don't need to worry that I'll be angry," the Venerable One laughed. "You should know that even the Heavenly Emperor had many advisors back then. It's perfectly normal that I can't think of something others can!"

"What idea has this young old man come up with?" Daojun asked with great interest.

"He won't do it," the Venerable One waved his hand and said, "But his son is quite clever; perhaps he can help think of a solution!"

"It seems his son is a smart man," Daojun said.

"He should still be smart!"

Leaving aside things too far in the future, Huli, Luli, and Yangli in the Sacred Land were all watching Zhang Xuezhou cast his spell with great anticipation.

Compared to taking elixirs to heal injuries, Technique Method are another method.

While a powerful rebirth may be stimulating to the body, living is always better than dying.

Seeing that they had achieved some success, Huli, Luli, and Yangli were extremely grateful to Zhang Xuezhou, completely disregarding the fact that they had lost almost half of their fortune.

While Zhang Xuezhou may not be exceptionally intelligent, Zhang Xuezhou clearly far more intelligent than these three demon kings.

This was achieved by borrowing the wealth of the Three Demon Kings to break through to a higher realm, and by gaining their favor.

The fact that Tiger Strength Demon King suffered such severe injuries is inseparable from Zhang Xuezhou's guidance to Li Guang.

It was clearly Zhang Xuezhou who caused the trouble, but Tiger Strength Demon King took the fall, and now all the demons have to spend their life savings to beg him for treatment.

The three demons even felt that Zhang Xuezhou had paid too high a price for this, almost failing to break through to the next realm and suffering serious health problems.

After comparing the options and finding himself unable to come up with a solution, His Excellency spoke up.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou was in the Sacred Land, to quickly stand up.

"Wait for me, brothers. I'll be right back after I go to His Excellency's place," Zhang Xuezhou said, standing up.

"Hurry up and go, don't waste time!" Goat Strength Demon King.

"Come back soon," the Demon King Luli nodded.

"I don't want to die anymore, you have to keep treating me!"

It seems that the Tiger Strength Demon King has been reborn.

The Longevity Pill kept him alive, while Technique Method healing magic only caused a slight itch, without the intense pain of the Hemostatic Powder.

This has dispelled Tiger Strength Demon King's suicidal thoughts. If this method can heal his body, Tiger Strength Demon King will definitely want to live.

"Tolkien's godson is quite good!"

"That's quite good!"

"It's so much better than the other one!"

Where did that Jin Wanliang go?!

"Who knows? Maybe he's imprisoned in Western Kunlun too!"

The three demon kings whispered among themselves about the Golden Toad Dharma King Jin Wanliang, and also mentioned Zou Bugui and Zhang Xuezhou.

While the Tiger Strength Demon King continued to nag and complain, his body still aching, Zhang Xuezhou had already entered the secret realm and heard about the Venerable One's predicament.

"How do you think I should gain the trust of Daojun and Yuansheng?" the Venerable One asked.

"What is your most prized possession?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"That is naturally my Yin-Yang Eyes," the Venerable One said.

"Can I retrieve this demonic treasure?"

"How?"

"Take one and give one to Daojun, and one to Yuansheng. They will definitely trust you," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That's a good idea," Daojun said with a smile.

"I think it's a good idea," Nine Spirits Lion nodded.

"You're really pushing me to my doom!" the Venerable One complained. "They trust me now, but I don't trust them anymore!"

"Zhu Jiuyin, you have a problem. You're allowed to scheme against others, but no one can touch you," Nine Spirits Yuansheng complained.

"We were just playing with your eyes, not harming your demonic treasure," the Daoist Master laughed. "If I had any designs on you, would I have waited until now?"

"It's not that I'm afraid you'll kill me with one stroke, it's just that I'm worried you might accidentally break my demon treasure," the Venerable One said wrigglingly.

"You think your eyes are broken from a fall?" Nine Spirits Lion said, "They're so badly damaged you couldn't even pierce them with a knife!"

"That's a terrible idea, I wouldn't dare do that!"

His Excellency shook his head and then pointed at Zhang Xuezhou.

"Think of other ways," His Majesty instructed.

"What is the most relied-upon treasure of the Dao Lord? What is the most relied-upon treasure of the Primordial Saint?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"What do you mean?" Daojun asked, frowning slightly.

"You mean?"

His Excellency's eyes gleamed slightly, as if he had already guessed what Zhang Xuezhou truly wanted to express.

"His Majesty has entrusted the Yin-Yang Eyes to you two, and in return, you can exchange two important treasures for this temporary treasure," Zhang Xuezhou said. "This way, none of you will have to worry about anyone causing trouble!"

"That's not wrong," said Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, "But I've only cultivated one Nine-Turn Inner Core, so I can't divide it between two people."

"Just take the Qiankun bag from your waist," the Venerable One said.

"I have many heavy items in my Qiankun Bag, so using them as collateral wouldn't be too much of a waste of your eyeball. But what about Daojun?" Nine Spirits Primordial Saint asked.

"My throwing knife is quite heavy, and this spellbook is barely presentable!"

Daojun opened his mouth, and a red flying blade shot out, while a scroll of animal hide was taken out from his sleeve.

"Your spellbook..."

"Anyone below the lords of the major Sacred Land can be killed simply by obtaining a single strand of their hair and writing their name in the book; the success rate is at least 90%!"

Daojun spoke in a calm voice, which made Venerable and Nine Spirits Lion Saint gasp.

"Can we kill Li Guang?" the Emperor asked.

"He is the lord of the Sacred Land, so naturally he cannot be killed," Daojun replied.

"He is the lord of the Sacred Land?" the Venerable One asked doubtfully. "Which Sacred Land?"

"Don't ask me. If I tell him too much, it'll be troublesome if he comes knocking on my door," Daojun shook his head and said, "I don't want to cause a scene where we both perish!"

"Then I won't ask!"

His Excellency nodded.

When he asked again whether the spellbook could kill Emperor Jing, Daojun denied it with a dark expression. The Venerable One felt a little regretful but also relieved.

However, Daojun's spellbook is undoubtedly a valuable treasure, enough to be included in a fair exchange mechanism.
