A man-made arena was carved out, becoming the final battlefield for the Guardian of Mingjiang Prefecture.
The final battle was about to erupt at any moment,
The Painter, Music Master, and Peng Sheng stood atop a tall building, overlooking the fog-laden Mingjiang Prefecture, hoping to glimpse traces of Star Covering and Zhao Qingxiao amidst that vast mist,
But found nothing.
"Star Covering and Zhao Qingxiao are well hidden."
The Painter said to Peng Sheng.
Peng Sheng nodded, saying, "Star Covering's fog, the art of hiding within the mist, is her specialty."
"She is also a master of the nine incense sticks in the human world, employing advanced techniques. Only when we surround her completely, leaving her no place to hide, will she reveal herself."
The Music Master, with hands behind his back, said as well.
Everyone was waiting for Star Covering, yet the Painter still wore a worried expression.
In circumstances where the incense fire level was significantly surpassed, having more people didn't necessarily guarantee success.
Regarding the future of Mingjiang Prefecture, this first office of the Bone Elder Association always felt an insecurity.
This unease was something both the Music Master and Peng Sheng also shared.
"Will Star Covering and Zhao Qingxiao be the final key players in this Heaven and Earth chess game?"
The Painter tentatively asked,
The Music Master and Peng Sheng did not respond, amidst the vague and thick fog, there seemed to be a lurking gigantic poisonous entity, exhaling corrosive venom...
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Amidst the continuous dull sounds and sorrowful wails, suddenly ten or so small blood-red flowers bloomed in the white fog...
"Star Covering is here."
The Painter felt a jolt in his heart, first tearing through space, rushing towards where the blood flowers bloomed at the extreme speed of the human world.
Peng Sheng leaned backwards again, moving towards the fog along with the Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree.
The Music Master issued a Hall Secret Letter, saying, "The final battle has begun, Star Covering has appeared, Mingjiang and Ping Shui's Day and Night Wandering Gods, take your positions."
The traveling gods of Mingjiang and Ping Shui each exhibited their divine skills, also heading towards where Star Covering appeared.
...
Amidst the dense fog, everything seemed calm,
Zhao Qingxiao, once more using the nine incense sticks' Dun Jia method, constructed a vast and spacious Dragon Prison Well, dividing Heaven and Earth.
He presided over the Dragon Prison Well, suspended a hundred feet above the ground at the well's mouth, holding a turtle shell.
Star Covering, maintaining Bai Guang's good appearance as a singer, dressed in a luxurious long dress, casually leaned against a street-side bench, her posture and expression as languidly leisurely as her singing voice.
"Daoist Zhao, this Dragon Prison Well, only permits entry with no exit, allowing those within Mingjiang and Ping Shui brave enough to thwart my massacre, all to enter this well."
Star Covering said with a smile, "Saving me the trouble of having to find each one after finishing off those in the well, quite bothersome."
"Should I call you Star Covering, or Bai Guang?"
The Painter asked.
"Either is fine."
Star Covering replied, "Bai Guang is a singer in the human world, to put it grandly, uses songs to bring beauty to the world, but putting it less positively, is merely the private plaything of affluent patrons and distinguished officials,
Star Covering is the Guardian of the human world, once thought 'Guardian' was noble enough, but is merely a plaything of Jing Country's supreme will, if he asks me to live, I cannot die, if he asks me to die, I have to use numerous skills, sell my dignity, only to ask for mere survival,
Since both are playthings, what difference does a name make?"
"Kidnapper, the ones I nurture... Food Heaven, Light and Shadow, Life God, Liu God, are all my captive playthings... More than half of the City God, a portion of the Witch, a portion of the Bone Elder Association, were once under my control, and that Mr. Feng of Human World No Distance, Mingjiang Prefecture's top assassin, were all under my command."
Star Covering finally sat up a bit straighter, reminiscing on those glorious days of having everything "in the palm of her hand," she said: "Kidnapper, Mr. Feng, are my rare opportunities, plus the assistance of the Taiping Monk, Mo Tingsheng from the Buddha Country, if given another fifteen years... no... ten years, without using violence, just by utilizing the kidnapper's human goods, I could completely corrupt the three Great Halls of Mingjiang Prefecture,
And the Hall Disciples coming to besiege me today, would all become my henchmen."
The Painter did not deny Star Covering's plotting blueprint, because the other side had indeed almost succeeded.
"Luckily, the Young Master came to Mingjiang Prefecture."
The Painter said, "Mr. Feng, Kidnapper, Mo Tingsheng, as well as Light and Shadow, Life God, Liu God, Food Heaven, and the three stone Buddhas of Peng Town, all fell under his hand,
The three God-level deities daring to descend upon Mingjiang also couldn't escape, all perishing in Mingjiang."
"He's a genius."
Star Covering placed her hands on her knees, not concealing her admiration for Zhou Xuan, saying: "I once thought Mo Tingsheng was a genius at manipulating people's hearts, a mastermind of sinister plots from the Buddha Country, but clearly, he couldn't hold a candle to the Young Master— Mr. Zhou just so effortlessly cut off my left and right arms in the human world,
He also invited the incense fire Taoist to kill my brother Qunxing at the God Traveling Department."
She raised her head to gaze up at the tall building, pointing to the building, said: "Painter, look at that building, square and upright, doesn't it look like a tombstone? A tombstone for my brother Qunxing—
—and of course, the tombstone for Mingjiang Prefecture and Ping Shui Prefecture's Day and Night Wandering Gods."
"Better leave it for you as your own tombstone instead."
The Painter first invoked the "Cui Ji Divine Spell," lighting the lamp for good fortune, biting through his tongue's tip, and spitting out a ghostly blue flame.
This flame was Bone Elder's Cui Ji Divine Lamp, through the lamplight, could see through the illusions.
Through the flame, he saw Star Covering's form incredibly real, it was not an illusion, it was definitely the true body.
"The opportunity has come."
The Painter seized the moment, once more activating the "Space Law," his body twinkling like a Flying Star, with Heaven and Earth's extreme speed, instantly moved behind Star Covering, with a Tao Flame igniting in his right hand.
