Seeing the appearance of Miao Fengjun, Li Muyang was not surprised at all.
After all, this fellow had already exposed his whereabouts earlier, using the rainbow-colored glaze staff to send an alarm.
Li Muyang directly closed the temple door and began healing the severely injured Princess Pingyao, not even bothering to pay attention to Miao Fengjun who was putting on an act inside the temple hall.
Seeing that Li Muyang ignored him, the old demon wasn’t embarrassed.
He cheerfully floated over and landed beside Li Muyang.
“Such a considerable grievance, layman, why bear so much resentment?”
While tending to the wounds, Li Muyang glanced at Miao Fengjun and said, “Would evil power not befall this imperial city? Why did you reveal my tracks, yet the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch had no reaction?”
Logically, at the moment Miao Fengjun spoke in the palace and Li Muyang’s identity was exposed, the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch should have taken notice.
But until Li Muyang escaped the imperial palace, that huge eyeball hidden behind the sky had not made an appearance.
This could only be explained by the fact that the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch was unable to see the scenes within the imperial city.
To this, Miao Fengjun admitted frankly: “That’s right, within this last imperial city of Great Zhou, it is the only special region where one can avoid the gaze of the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch, inside the Ancient Resentment Well.”
“Here, we can speak frankly, without any need for concealment.”
After speaking, the headless holy monk lifted the human head in his hands, sizing up Li Muyang with a curious look: “I didn’t expect we would meet here, layman Jiang Xiaoyu. How many faces do you really have?”
Miao Fengjun was both puzzled and curious.
At the side, the driver Ding Liang, who had just escaped a deadly crisis, was still in a state of shock.
Hearing the conversation between Li Muyang and Miao Fengjun, he was even more terrified.
He looked at Li Muyang with disbelief and said, “Sir… Is your real name Jiang Xiaoyu?”
The old ghost in the clay jar was even more frightened and screamed.
“Holy shit! Jiang Xiaoyu! Miao Fengjun!”
“You two old monsters are actually not dead! This is impossible! Are you humans or ghosts?”
The old ghost’s scream was piercing to the ears.
The headless holy monk glanced at the clay jar and said, “This item left by Fairy Qinghe is somewhat interesting. I had thought of making something similar, but never found the time to begin. I did not expect Fairy Qinghe to complete it.”
Although he revealed his identity as the old demon, this headless holy monk still bore the demeanor and tone of a saintly monk, completely different from what had been seen of Miao Fengjun before.
Li Muyang, while treating Princess Pingyao, said, “That body of yours, it isn’t your true form either, right?”
The headless holy monk let out a laugh and admitted, “Correct, this is the golden body of the Liu Li Buddha. Layman, you seem to be quite concerned about this?”
Li Muyang glanced at him and said, “I have been entrusted by the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor to come here to kill you, seize the golden body of the Liu Li Buddha, and cremate it to lay it to rest.”
Li Muyang did not hide his intentions in the slightest.
The headless holy monk was not surprised either and nodded, “I guessed so. You have the scent of the Four Cardinal Virtues on you, definitely invited by the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor. However, you have no chance of killing me, but I might consider offering you this Buddha’s golden body.”
The two who should have been mortal enemies were now conversing amiably and frankly with each other.
This bizarre scene made the old ghost in the clay jar even more terrified.
“There’s also the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor? The Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor isn’t dead either?”
“Has the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor also turned into a monster? Good heavens! How many ancient immortals and gods are still struggling to survive!”
“In this world of despair, is there any hope left!”
The old crow’s wailing was incessant, its piercing cries causing a sharp pain in the ear.
Li Muyang directly knocked a finger onto the clay pot, interrupting the creature’s lamentation.
“Shut your damn mouth.”
After silencing the old crow’s wails, Li Muyang continued to treat Princess Pingyao’s injuries.
The colorful light from the Seven Treasures Glass Staff sprinkled down, and together with Jie Zijiu the Puppet Master’s healing skills, Princess Pingyao’s wounds were slowly mending.
In the midst of healing, Li Muyang continued to inquire.
“So what’s the deal with the Great Radiance Buddha? Why is it here, and how did it become like that? What is the monster on its back?”
The abnormality of the Great Radiance Buddha was unsettling to Li Muyang.
He felt that this change was very significant.
Fortunately, the headless monk didn’t hide anything and explained directly, “The monster on the Great Radiance Buddha’s back was originally a being of this world, but in the dark catastrophe ten thousand years ago, to avoid the netherworld curse of the Heavenly Person Five Decays, it chose to mutate itself, becoming a parasite. We call these self-degrading beings ‘Otherworldly Demon Gods’.”
“Although Otherworldly Demon Gods can avoid the Heavenly Person Five Decays, they must abandon their own bodies, and all traces they leave in the world will be erased. Once the mutation is successful, they can no longer exist independently in the world, and need to live in symbiosis with a Great Divine Power, so that both can continue their lives.”
“The Great Radiance Buddha is a victim who lost its self-consciousness after being parasitized by an Otherworldly Demon God.”
“And like the Great Radiance Buddha, there were many deities and immortals harmed by Otherworldly Demon Gods ten thousand years ago.”
“After the lands were separated and the Misty Sea emerged, these parasitized deities and immortals were divided between two lands.”
“I don’t know about the situation on the neighboring continent, but here in the Tianyuan Continent, I have carefully investigated, and there are no traces of Otherworldly Demon Gods left in the Mortal World.”
“It is said that a thousand years ago, a Sword Cultivator named True Man of Green Leaves eradicated them all.”
The headless monk casually delivered such terrifying news.
Li Muyang’s brows fiercely twitched, somewhat shocked.
“Erased by True Man of Green Leaves?!”
If he’s not mistaken, this so-called group of Otherworldly Demon Gods… are actually those mysterious Divine beings from the Nine Heavens, right?
The Extreme Night God that descended from the heavens is an Otherworldly Demon God.
This group of monsters, having survived since the ancient times, all possess True Immortal Level combat power, although they are restricted by the Heaven and Earth Seal and can only exert the upper limit of power of the world.
But even so, they have the battle consciousness, skills, and techniques of True Immortal Level beings, which are incomparable to Cultivators of the same realm.
Li Muyang himself has battle consciousness comparable to True Immortal Level beings, yet even so, he was brutally beaten in the game simulator when facing an Extreme Night God.
And the True Man of Green Leaves from Tianyuan Continent could, single-handedly with a sword, kill off all the Demon Gods on the continent?
Holy shit…
Li Muyang found it hard to believe.
He always knew that Liu Li Fairy’s master was very strong, and he had always held True Man of Green Leaves in high regard.
But with every deeper understanding, the military achievements of True Man of Green Leaves gave him a feeling of “terror,” the more he understood about his fearsomeness, the more awe he felt.
And clearly, Miao Fengjun was also astonished by True Man of Green Leaves’ achievement.
The headless monk sighed, “Fairy Qinghe is the most awe-inspiring Cultivator I have ever seen.”
“But this True Man of Green Leaves is even more terrifying than Fairy Qinghe. Sadly, he stepped into the Misty Sea and has been missing ever since, likely having encountered an accident.”
“Although there is also a Heaven and Earth Seal over the Misty Sea, the sealing power there is very weak, and some things hiding in the Misty Sea can exert power far beyond the world’s upper limit.”
