"Old Benefactor, the road ahead is endless, the sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the other shore!" Ga She, transformed into golden light, loudly chanted the Buddha's name, incessantly speaking towards Cai Wen in front.

"Damn bald donkey! We have no grievances or hatreds, why must you press me so bitterly!" Cai Wen, while controlling his Spiritual Treasure, desperately fled, wishing he could immediately escape from Yafeng Ancient Star to the Central Heaven outside the Dao Domain.

Within the golden light, Ga She persisted relentlessly, earnestly persuading: "Old Benefactor, if you are willing to return with this little monk, I will definitely beg the Great One to spare your life!"

"Bald donkey, are you so determined to have me return and face death?" Cai Wen's face brimmed with fierce energy as he instantly pressed down on his tunneling light, glaring coldly at Ga She approaching from a distance.

"Amitabha Buddha, since the Great One has ordered this little monk to capture you, I must see it through!" Behind Ga She, rings of golden light rose, casting him in the semblance of a true Buddha descending to the world!

"Fine, then go to your death!" Cai Wen roared fiercely, his Mountain and River Brush in hand as sharp as a blade edge, heavy as mountains. At such close distance, he struck at Ga She with unrivaled fierceness, difficult to evade.

"Alas, the Buddha is merciful! Anh!!" Seeing that Cai Wen had made a move, Ga She, initially hesitant, let out a light rebuke, imbued with a hint of the Buddhist Sect's heavenly tone. Then, he activated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, modified by Li Qingming, a vast expanse of golden radiance enveloped his body, and he swung his fist to meet the attack!

"What a foolish monk! This Mountain and River Brush, bestowed by Yan Hui, is a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and you think your mere mortal body can withstand it? That's utterly delusional!" Hearing Ga She's loud shout, Cai Wen was initially startled, thinking it was bad news. However, seeing Ga She's action, he felt a surge of joy, and his Vast Righteous Qi burst forth unabated, pouring into the Mountain and River Brush.

"Hum!"

Like a Great Sun in the sky, as Ga She approached the Mountain and River Brush, his body radiated with golden light, shining like the sun, emitting scorching brilliance.

In his left hand, he pinched the Immovable Ming King Seal, evolving the myriad stars, and his right hand clenched tightly, like a massive seal, heavy as mountains, breaking through the heavens.

The sharp tip of the brush collided with the golden fist, yet the expected loud collision sound did not occur.

Instead, it seemed as if space itself froze, and after a moment, it violently burst forth with dazzling brilliance, like a myriad of exploding stars, shooting light in all directions.

"Krakrak~~~"

Then, a somewhat dull shattering sound emerged from where they met. Immediately after, the space around them for ten miles shattered explosively, completely collapsing from the shockwave!

It must be said, the head-on collision of two Quasi-Saint Peak experts was indeed fierce, even causing the sturdy ancient city space to collapse, yet they themselves were unhurt and unmoved, truly terrifying!

"Who dares to wield weapons within Yafeng City, not afraid of being captured by us, having their Divine Souls extracted, and suffering eternal torment?"

At that moment, the soldiers guarding the city, led by Commander Zixia, rushed over from afar, galloping through the sky, loudly reprimanding.

"Clang!"

Seeing this, Cai Wen and Ga She exerted force simultaneously against each other, releasing a clear metallic clinking sound, propelling each other away.

"Eh? Isn't this Manager Cai of Elegant Scholar Pavilion? And you, little monk, aren't you with Brother Qingming? What are you two doing fighting here?" Zixia removed the golden armor from his head, smoothed his black long hair, appearing not at all worried that the two might escape.

"Commander Zixia, it is clear this darn monk caused all the trouble, it has nothing to do with me, please allow me to leave!" Upon seeing Zixia, Cai Wen swallowed a rising chill, promptly pinning the blame on Ga She.

"This little monk has seen Commander Zixia. Commander, earlier Cai Wen had a conflict with us at the Elegant Scholar Pavilion. In order to capture us, he tricked a Golden Robed Scholar to come. Once we reached the Elegant Scholar Pavilion, the Golden Robed Scholar realized he had been deceived by Master Cai who was about to punish him, but Master Cai escaped first! The little monk was ordered by my lord to capture him, not knowing this old benefactor would suddenly counterattack. I could only defend, and then we encountered all the masters here!" After Cai Wen spoke, Ga She calmly stated his piece, not arrogant or flustered.

Cai Wen's complexion drastically changed, he cried out loudly: "Commander, he is lying! Please believe me!"

"Amitabha Buddha, Commander, monks do not lie!" Compared to Cai Wen's tension and panic, Ga She remained leisurely and slow.

Zixia ignored Cai Wen, still frowning, and asked: "Little monk, you just mentioned he invited a Golden Robed Scholar? What does he look like?"

"Yes, it was a Golden Robed Scholar!" Ga She nodded slightly, explaining: "He has long hair cascading over his shoulders, eyes like stars, eyebrows sharp as swords, embodying an indomitable and aloof temperament!"

"That's right then!" Zixia nodded, saying: "No wonder Manager Cai would rather flee than fall into his hands! The methods this little forebear uses are indeed plentiful!"

With that, Zixia pointed at Cai Wen, his tone changing: "Alright! Listen up, bring Manager Cai back to Elegant Scholar Pavilion for me!"

"Yes, sir!" The Black-armored Soldiers responded in unison, "Krakrak" moving into motion, instantly surrounding Cai Wen.

Cai Wen's face dramatically changed, he tightly clung to his last bit of hope, looking at Zixia saying: "Commander, for the sake of our years of acquaintance, let me go!"

"No debate about it!" Zixia waved his hand and said, "If I let you go, Xingzhi will definitely give me a hard time! But don't worry, I will ask Xingzhi to spare your life!"

"Is there really no room for discussion?" Cai Wen still wouldn't give up, knowing fully well that Zixia, being a Saint Body, would be nearly impossible to escape from.

"Shopkeeper Cai, you know my character! Stop this senseless resistance!" Zixia frowned, his voice gradually growing colder.

Cai Wen's eyes flickered with a fierce light as he said bitterly, "You forced my hand, this is all your doing! Mountain and River Brush, seize the mountains and rivers, unseal!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Cai Wen infused a vast amount of violet energy into the Mountain and River Brush. With lightning speed, it soared up, reaching above the Nine Heavens where Vast Righteous Qi surged, its brush tip like it was dipped in thick ink, began to draw in the air.

"Quick, stop it!" Feeling the surge of Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth, Ga She seemed to have sensed something, he shouted loudly and leapt towards Cai Wen.

His shout startled the Black-armored Guards; they all instinctively stopped what they were doing, looking bewilderedly towards Commander Zixia.

"Damn it, what are you all looking at me for? Go and stop that Mountain and River Brush!" Even though Zixia did not know why Ga She said that, his instinct told him it was the right thing to do.

But speaking of which, is this guy really a disciple of Confucian Saint Kong Yuan? A gentleman is supposed to be gentle and as smooth as jade, but this fellow's speech is bold and extremely crude, hardly befitting a disciple of Kong Yuan.

...

Just as everyone had leaped into mid-air, the Mountain and River Brush completed its final few strokes. Above the Heavenly Vault, two rows of bright golden Tao Runes emerged from the Void:

"Demon sealed within the Void, Mountain and River Brush slashes the hidden sky!"

"Amitabha Buddha, this is the end!" Ga She shrank his head, somewhat helplessly chanting Buddha's name.

Zixia floated over to Ga She's side and asked, "Little monk, what did you sense just now? And what's with those two rows of Tao Runes?"

Ga She waved his hand and explained, "Great Commander, what you don't know is that our Buddhist Sect traditionally has an extraordinary ability to sense Demonic Qi. When that Mountain and River Brush was drawn in the sky, I sensed a faint trace of Demonic Qi beneath its brush tip. If I'm not wrong, that brush has just released a Demon!"

"A Demon?" Zixia was momentarily stunned but then chuckled, "Just a Demon! Back in the days when I… when I traveled the Path to Heaven, I've eradicated countless demons and ghosts. It's nothing!"

Ga She was about to say something when suddenly, another change occurred overhead.

"Ha ha ha, you forced my hand! You forced my hand!" Cai Wen laughed maniacally, his entire body gradually began to shrink and in a moment, transformed into a glaring mist of blood, along with his Primordial Spirit and Soul, entering the two rows of golden runes.

Above the Nine Heavens, the Tao Runes which had absorbed Cai Wen's flesh, Primordial Spirit, and Soul, began to change drastically, slowly transforming into a golden gate that was thirty feet tall and about ten feet wide.

"Life Sacrifice!" Ga She narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "We are in big trouble!"

"What does that mean?" Zixia also sensed something was wrong.

Ga She summoned up his Buddha Power, while remaining on guard, he said, "If it were just an ordinary demon, there would be no need for a Quasi-Saint Peak Expert to sacrifice his life. Given the current situation, it looks like what's sealed behind this space might be a Holy Demon, a Saint-level Demon!"

"Hell, if that's the case, then why would Yan Hui grant such an important Innate Spiritual Treasure to a morally crooked tavern manager!" Zixia was shocked.

"Wuu~~~"

At that moment, layers of black Demonic Qi burst outwards, quickly engulfing the entire gate. Following that, a thunderous roar echoed through Heaven and Earth.

Everyone looked up only to see dense black mist bubbling furiously, like boiling water.

Suddenly, a huge head stretched out from the portal, as if it was breaking free from something.

This head was somewhat similar to that of the Human Clan, but also distinctly different:

It had a pair of dark, buffalo-like horns atop its head, as long as its head itself, and its dark green cheeks were covered with fine scale armor. Below its broad nostrils, there was a mouth with four sharp fangs.

Truly a ferocious and terrifying sight! (To be continued. If you like this work, please feel free to recommend and vote monthly at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
