After persuading the painter, Zhou Xuan addressed the many lanterns of the God Traveling Department that came upon hearing the news: "All traveling gods of Mingjiang heed my order, without my permission, no one is to approach the Fire Lotus."

The God Traveling Department saw that the order was given by Zhou Xuan, so they dared not overstep and had to surround the altar, quietly observing what would happen.

At this moment, the burning momentum on the Fire Lotus had begun to subside, but the four lotus seeds burst open one by one.

"In the thirty-third heaven, there are many World Buddhas, the supreme and wise Buddhist Law can relieve the eight sufferings of the human world."

"Birth, separation from loved ones, death, resentful encounters, the five skandhas, and separation from loved ones. If a person in the human world, they cannot avoid these eight sufferings."

"The killing karma I have created now is all for the salvation of tens of millions of citizens of Jing Country."

"Seeking Wave Monk of Buddha Country, meeting the traveling gods of Mingjiang, my Dharma name is Mo Ya."

Four monks walked out from the lotus seeds, greeted the God Traveling Department of Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

While the painter was stunned, Zhou Xuan remained unfazed, clapping his hands as he said: "Brilliant, four demon monks, orderly in their roles, introducing themselves as required, drawing the grandiose picture for Mingjiang Prefecture as needed... Resolving the eight sufferings of the human world? If you people of Buddha Country descend, there will be a ninth suffering in the human world of Jing Country."

The four Seeking Wave Monks appeared, and the Music Master and Painter had already begun to burn incense, while the rest of the traveling gods on site descended one after another from the lanterns.

Mo Ya Monk held a chessboard in his hand, not even sparing a glance at the other traveling gods, but looking straight at Zhou Xuan with blazing eyes.

"Mr. Zhou, seeing your presence, it seems you already knew the little monk would visit Mingjiang Prefecture?"

"Do you know me too?"

Zhou Xuan retorted.

"Mr. Zhou and the incense fire Taoist, teamed up to commit an atrocity in our Buddha Country Baoshan Temple. This blood debt, please do not hesitate to repay today, it must be repaid."

"As for that Master of Space-Time from Jing Country— the incense fire Taoist..."

"The four of us will slaughter everyone in Mingjiang Prefecture, to see if we can force out that old Taoist." said a monk with an ugly face, aggressive as fire, shouted irascibly.

Mo Ya Monk appeared more cultured in temperament, with two drooping white brows, if not for the dense beards growing on his neck, his Buddha's image would indeed be dignified.

Whereas that hot-tempered Seeking Wave Monk, with a tusked blue face, seemed just like an Evil Ghost, clearly not a good character at a glance.

He slapped his chest, his voice like a drum, loudly shouted,

"Treasure Tree Heavenly King of Buddha Country, with the Buddha Artifact Shell Leaf Tree, shall meet the painter and the Music Master of Mingjiang Prefecture."

As his words fell, Treasure Tree Heavenly King clapped his hands like a knife, slicing himself cleanly in two along his waist and abdomen,

The lower half instantly turned into a seedling of a Shell Leaf Tree palm, growing vibrantly, one meter, two meters... In a few moments, it grew to dozens of meters high, lush and verdant, with a crown that spread wide, faintly gleaming with hues.

When the Shell Leaf Tree had grown to its climate, Treasure Tree Heavenly King slammed his hands on the ground, his half-human self soared into the air, flipped and landed on the tree.

Mo Ya Monk, Treasure Tree Heavenly King, both revealed their titles, the remaining two monks also refused to be outdone.

"Zhi Ming Monk of Buddha Country, adept at delving into others' Rivers of Destiny, today I shall see what twisted fate awaits Mingjiang's traveling gods."

"Boat Monk of Buddha Country, a monk who has worked painstakingly, to ferry the three senior brothers, traversing the Time Realm to arrive at the Human World, vows to stir up a bloody tide at Mingjiang Prefecture. Amongst you, if there are nine sticks of incense, maybe you can briefly stop us brothers, but if not... I advise you to run for your lives."

Boat Monk dropped the wild words, also confirming Zhou Xuan and King Xishan's speculation, that among the four Seeking Wave Monks, there must be a monk with nine sticks of incense, otherwise, he wouldn't dare utter such wild words.

But the many traveling gods of Mingjiang Prefecture were not intimidated by the wild words, no matter the lesser skill, they couldn't retreat even half a step.

If they lacked even courage, how could they bear the title of the God Traveling Department?

"Lao Le, battle."

The painter and Music Master exchanged glances, then one after the other, advanced toward Treasure Tree Heavenly King.

Treasure Tree Heavenly King had just called out specifically to challenge the Music Master and the painter, these three thus as the vanguard of both sides, tangled in combat with each other.

"Good to come."

Treasure Tree Heavenly King slapped the Shell Leaf Tree, becoming one with the tree, leaping forward tens of yards, the trunk like a sharp arrow pierced into the Music Master's body.

The Music Master showed no fear, nor did he dodge, letting the giant tree body crush to pieces his own— the true power of Bone Elder from the Suffering Faction, lies in "Blood and Flesh Regeneration," not evading, the Music Master intended to use his own flesh and blood, for close combat with Treasure Tree Heavenly King.

"Zhou Xuan, you caused chaos at Baoshan Temple, I, Zhi Ming Monk, ask you to submit to the law..."

Zhi Ming Monk transformed into a stream of light, fiercely shot toward Zhou Xuan,

King Xishan suddenly blocked in front of Zhou Xuan, his fox fur like swirling snow enveloped that stream of light, sneered: "Demon monk of Buddha Country, first spar a few moves with this old fox."

Zhou Xuan had long known King Xishan's Dao cultivation was high, didn't expect he could single-handedly neutralize Zhi Ming Monk's attack.

"Stronger than I imagined."

Zhi Ming Monk was blocked, Boat Monk then came to snatch at Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan at this time, pulled with his hands behind him, bringing Zhou Lingyi, Lord Jian, Lord Jiu from Ping Shui Prefecture.

Three arrows in succession, launched one after another, Lord Jian wielding the Divine Bow, forced the Boat Monk to retreat,

Zhou Lingyi linked with Zhou Xuan through incense fire, ready for "incense fire feedback" at any moment, Lord Jiu, after taking a sip of wine, threw toward Mo Ya Monk a paper banner from Mr. Ye's Tangkou.

Mo Ya Monk's figure floated up, stood on one leg, forcibly stepped on the paper banner that began to expand in the wind.

His expression seemed to hide a bit of anxiety, constantly looking at the sky.

"Mo Ya Demon Monk, I know what you're looking at... waiting for Gong Zheng's arrival."

Zhou Xuan sneered coldly: "Don't wait anymore, when he can descend, only I can decide, if I don't allow him to descend, he can only stay well above in the sky!"
