Chapter 830 A Timely Rescue
"For Lingxuzi to be robbed, the right time, the right place, and the right people must all be present."

After saying this, within that large circle of Buddha's rainbow, the Zen Master Caihu on the rock chanted a mantra, and then segments of the mantra fell and imprinted on the back of the black owl, forming a pattern.

"Take this spell diagram into the borderlands. When the Southern Fire Borderlands are completely unified and the borders are drastically changed, a great variable will appear. At that time, lift up your clothes and reveal this spell diagram on your back. Then, Lingxu can be destroyed with a flick of his finger!"

"really."

Black Owl and Old Ancestor Kuma said in unison.

“Excellent, excellent, a monk does not lie,” said Zen Master Caihu, clasping his hands in prayer.

"Does the Zen Master know that the Venerable Lingxu is going to forge a magic weapon? Although everyone knows the details of this weapon now, judging from the importance he attaches to it, this weapon must be a first-class magic weapon in the world, or even a weapon for killing," Black Owl said.

"That's right!"

The old ancestor of crying ma didn't find Black Owl's words too bizarre, and agreed, saying, "Looking at Master Lingxu's past actions, almost none of them are in accordance with common sense. Logically speaking, he is just a celestial being and should not have such extraordinary appearance, but he has repeatedly exceeded the imagination of outsiders."

"Take the current situation for example. Due to his aggressive actions in Nanhuojiang, he has disrupted many of Yunyu Temple's plans, forcing them to devote more energy to Nanhuojiang and continue to waste time with Master Lingxu."

"You need not worry."

Zen Master Caihu was unconvinced and revealed more secrets to the two of them, saying, "This incantation diagram is a part that I copied from a treasure that the master cherishes as his life. When the time comes, you only need to lift it up and you will be able to take a treasure."

However, you must be careful not to become greedy and linger in battle after obtaining this treasure. You only have temporary control over the treasure; you are not its true owner.

Seeing that Zen Master Caihu spoke with such certainty, Black Owl was certain that the other party was absolutely confident and that it was not an arrogant disregard for his true form. His expression relaxed as if he were relieved, but in reality, he was secretly on guard.

"By the way, your magic..."

Zen Master Caihu suddenly spoke, and Jiang Heixiao, suppressing the shock in his heart, thought in horror, "Could it be that he saw through it too?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zen Master Caihu noticed something was off about Jiang Heixiao's eyes, so he changed the subject.

“All laws are inherently the same. When used for good, they are Buddhist teachings; when used for evil, they are heretical teachings. But your magical roots lie in killing and feeding on animals. Without great wisdom and courage, or profound Buddhist teachings, how can you not be confused and bewildered by this law?”

"Once the calamity is over, you should temporarily abandon this method. The day you can wield a butcher's knife and also perform Buddhist rituals will be the time for you to regain your magic."

"I will heed your teachings!"

Black Owl felt relieved and clasped his hands together.

The matter was settled, and the Buddha's rainbow immediately dissipated, leaving only the fragrance of sandalwood filling the mansion.

"How wonderful, how wonderful!"

Seeing that the important figure in heaven whom he had worked so hard to persuade had ultimately benefited Jiang Heixiao, the old ancestor who cried out was filled with mixed feelings. He said, "With the Zen master's favor, your path will surely be smooth sailing from now on."

"Please instruct us on what to do next, Ancestor," Black Owl said respectfully.

"The situation at Huozhushan is currently in dire straits, and the demons of all realms have lost their courage. Now is the time for you to step up and go to support that Venerable Honggu, to be a timely help."

"But I heard that the Venerable One was extremely rude to Xiao Qing Gu and even joked about killing me."

"Just kidding, just kidding."

The old ancestor of crying chuckled nonchalantly and said, "That Venerable One seems to be acting recklessly, but in reality, he is scheming. Since the initial division of the Three Realms, your Little Stone Holy Sect has been wholeheartedly supporting the Cloud Rain Temple, far more so than the senior affiliated sects such as the Flood Dragon Palace and Hundred Birds Mountain in Falling Silver Lake. To attack you now would be like cutting off your own arm."

Besides, word has already spread at the Cloud and Rain Temple that the Four Fiends of Cloud Floating are quite fond of you.

"There is one more thing, Ancestor, you should know how to do it."

"She will not participate in the power struggles within Xinjiang," the Old Ancestor Kuma solemnly assured him.

Inside the Xiaozhu Golden Courtyard, the lights were still bright, but they could not dispel the almost tangible deathly silence.

A rosy glow enveloped the figure on the main seat, where Hong Gu leaned languidly against the jade throne, her thick snake tail coiled beneath her.

A wisp of crimson flame leaped and shifted at the tip of its tail, sometimes like a bird flapping its wings, sometimes like a ferocious beast baring its teeth, making her eyes beneath the thin veil appear deep and unfathomable, like two icy pools.

Inside the hall, several prominent figures from unorthodox sects, including Xia Yu and Xiao Qing Gu, sat or stood, their auras dark and gloomy.

The air was so heavy it felt like it could drip water. The lingering killing intent from Hong Gu's earlier attack still lingered, and the dull pain in my ears hadn't subsided. In this deathly silence, a sense of dread was amplified.

The beast's face was ashen, and its two front paws had crushed the floor tiles. He had already received news that the sword boy's head had been found. At this moment, his throat bobbed, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Ah"

A very soft chuckle escaped from beneath the thin veil.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it sent a jolt through everyone's hearts.

Looking around, Hong Gu saw a sea of ​​dark heads, none of them of any use.

He knew the nature of unorthodox methods well. When they had the upper hand, they would become fierce tigers descending from the mountain. But when it came to fighting tough battles and tackling difficult challenges, they would each have their own agendas and pull against each other.

Even someone as skilled as her would find this situation difficult.

Some things and some situations cannot be achieved through violence; even supernatural powers have their limits.

"What a formidable and infamous Master Lingxu! If we fail to eliminate him this time, even if we achieve victory in the other two regions, there's no guarantee that he won't become another ambitious True Lord of Taiping Mountain in the future."

The sound echoed throughout the hall, but no one dared to respond.

Xiao Qinggu wanted to speak up. She had mentioned a good plan earlier, but the generals of the frontier had already taken action, causing the plan to be shelved. However, she still felt that the plan could be used again.

Dog-Sealing Protector pulled Little Green Maiden back. Now that the Wind-Stabilizing Pill was lost and everyone's courage was gone, the plan to launch a thunderous attack while Lingxuzi was distracted refining the treasure in the Poisonous Yang Fiend Cave was no longer feasible.

In the continued deathly silence, Xia Yu transmitted his voice to Hong Gu, saying, "Your Excellency, perhaps we should wait until the day of great upheaval before making any plans."

With just a glance from Hong Gu, the inner fire in Xia Yu's heart was ignited into a real blaze, which spewed from his mouth and nose, instantly filling the air with a burnt smell.

Hong Gu said to Xia Yu, "Remember, it's enough to do something stupid and say something stupid once. If you do it again, I may not have the patience to tolerate your stupidity."

"Report!" After an unknown amount of time, a voice from outside the hall broke the deathly silence, "Little Stone Saint Cult Leader Jiang Heixiao has arrived with his followers to provide assistance!"

The people standing frozen in the hall suddenly stirred. All the cultivators looked up and saw a person slowly ascending the steps. In the shadow cast behind him, a three-pronged neck was waving. He was accompanied by several people, each of whom was quite skilled.
