Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 393 Aftermath
Upon hearing this, Chen Gou'er's smug smile faltered, and he then became engrossed in his work.

He scratched his head and cheek, and even considered diving into the river to catch a few strange creatures.
Seeing this, Li Wushou knew perfectly well that Chen Gou'er had something to hide.

He pulled Chen Gou'er to his side and asked softly again:
"Dog, did you see the Blood Buddha escape from the Holy Domain just now?"

Chen Gou'er's face flushed red instantly. He wanted to plunge into the Domain River, but Li Wushou held him firmly. He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

The old beggar had told him to eat the Holy Spirit of the Holy Domain and then hide in the Domain River, but he couldn't resist showing off to Li Wushou.

Now look what happened, the old beggar didn't teach him how to answer!
Why did Li Wushou suddenly ask such a difficult question? Chen Gou'er was speechless.

Li Wushou, with his arm around Chen Gou'er's shoulder, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Chen Gou'er didn't say a word, his face was full of answers.

Li Wushou was 80% certain that the old beggar had gone after the Blood Buddha, and that the two of them had been eyeing the Blood Buddha for quite some time.

When Li Wushou saw Chen Gou'er bite open the Holy Domain, he actually believed that the old beggar was telling the truth when he said he was waiting for him outside. Now it seems that he knew something was wrong inside the Holy Domain all along?

Why let them go in and work themselves to death while the other two wait outside for Blood Buddha to come and get what they want?

It's really infuriating!
The churning waters beneath their feet gradually subsided, and Li Wushou and Chen Gou'er stood in the poisonous domain, momentarily falling into silence.

Chen Gou'er felt unwell, as if he had fleas all over his body.

Just then, a figure silently appeared beside the two. Chen Gou'er looked closely and immediately felt as if he had been granted a pardon, shouting:
"I am sleepy!"

Then the flesh and blood wriggled and clung to Li Wushou's body, forcibly drilling into the divine aperture between Li Wushou's eyebrows.

"Huh?"

Li Wushou and the old beggar were both taken aback. In the past, Chen Gou'er could not freely enter and exit Li Wushou's divine aperture like the old beggar, but now he could do so on his own.

But the old beggar's expression changed slightly the next moment; something was wrong.

Wasn't it supposed to be Chen Gou'er waiting for him underwater?

Judging from their expressions, they've already given themselves away?
Despite his haste, the old beggar was still a step too late, and he couldn't help but complain to himself:
To be honest, I didn't take it seriously myself when I handed the matter over to Chen Gou'er!

Sighing inwardly, before Li Wushou could erupt in anger, the old beggar spoke first:
“I just saw the incarnation of the Blood Buddha run out. He was so ashamed that I chased after him and gave him a face.”

Li Wushou glanced at the old beggar, not mentioning again what he and Chen Gou'er had tried to hide earlier, but asked with some doubt:
You mean incarnation?

Tianning Daoist and Wuxiang Daoist are undoubtedly incarnations, but could the white-robed Blood Buddha also be one?
The old beggar seemed to sense Li Wushou's confusion and replied directly:

"The Blood Buddha himself didn't come; he's been hiding well. After this incident, he'll be even more secretive. But it's all for the best. According to his teachings, there's not much difference between the true form and the emanations; they will eventually converge!"

Li Wushou nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood the old beggar's plan to take advantage of the Blood Buddha.

Suddenly, Li Wushou remembered something and pressed for an answer:
"The Blood Buddha is not in the Fubo Domain?"

"Run away early!"

The old beggar muttered something, and seeing that Li Wushou showed no signs of losing his temper, he slipped back to the Three Immortals Pavilion.

"They've escaped. So they're really not in the Fubo Domain anymore."

Li Wushou muttered something to himself, having already made a rough plan of how to handle the aftermath.

His mind sank into the Three Immortals Pavilion, gazing at the five Nascent Soul cultivators lying haphazardly in the courtyard, and he said to the old beggar:
"Take down these people first, check if there are any omissions, and search them to see if there are any extra treasures. Their camp should still be in the treasures. Take the valuable people too."

After speaking, without giving the old beggar a chance to refute, Li Wushou withdrew his attention from the Three Immortals Pavilion and turned to fly towards the camp of Hungry Ghost Mountain outside the Domain River.

As they flew, Li Wushou pondered the situation ahead. Now, the Azure Lotus Envoy was dead, the Heavenly Ning Daoist was dead, and the Formless Daoist was dead.

Judging from the Blood Buddha's methods, he doesn't care about his origins in the Fubo Domain at all; all he cares about is his path to Buddhahood, and he might even harbor resentment towards Wu Zhuangyuan.

After all, he had been suppressed by Wu Zhuangyuan for so many years.

The fact that the other party had already hidden away indicates that Blood Buddha had prepared an escape route.

Therefore, Li Wushou didn't need to consider Wu Zhuangyuan's feelings or cover for him.

After all, since the Blood Buddha even killed the Formless Daoist who had submitted to the Wave Domain, the other factions couldn't be blamed on the Wave Domain.

Once we've got control over the five Nascent Soul cultivators, we can coordinate our narrative and pin the blame for the death of the Azure Lotus Envoy on the Blood Buddha. Anyway, judging from what the old beggar said, the Blood Buddha is hiding pretty well right now.

It's estimated that the various forces won't be able to find him for the time being, which will help him share some of the attention.

Even the gray-haired demons registered on Mount Queshen of Fenglingdao, Li Wushou planned to pin on the Blood Buddha.

It's just unknown whether there are any remnants of Hui Xuan's primordial spirit within the Sealed Spirit Path, or whether they noticed the hungry ghost's earlier act of devouring him.

However, this cannot be entirely unfounded against Blood Buddha, after all, didn't Wuxiang Daoren fall into Blood Buddha's trap without anyone noticing?
It just takes a little more effort!
Thinking of this, Li Wushou was speechless.

If I had known earlier that Blood Buddha was plotting these things in the Domain River, I wouldn't have bothered to eat Ash Xuan first.

However, Li Wushou was not afraid. Once he had control of Bayong, Luxingzhi, Qujiang, and Luofu City, they were actually under his control.

Therefore, even if Feng Lingdao knew that he had killed Hui Xuan, he could do nothing about it.

If Feng Lingdao rashly enters Luofu City, he will only become his prey.

Unless Mahjong Master crosses borders!
However, it's hard to say for sure.

Judging from the fact that the other party descended in his Dharma body to destroy the city for such a trivial matter as Zhu Liuli, it can be seen that the other party has no logic or common sense.

She's a complete madwoman!

Therefore, avoiding direct conflict is of course the best option.

After returning, it would be best to arrange for Lu Xingzhi and Bayong to go back to Luofu City to inquire about Hui Xuan's situation.

Then, depending on the situation, we'll see which approach to take.

He then sought a place to retreat into seclusion for a period of time to fully process and digest the gains from this trip.

At the same time, Fang Zizhen and Wu Xia returned to the Central Region.

On the one hand, he was paving his way into the Central Domain, and on the other hand, he was gathering information about the Luo clan.

If things go wrong, fleeing directly to the Central Region is a good option, since I was going there anyway.

After reviewing everything from the beginning, Li Wushou felt a sense of sudden enlightenment; the situation was much better than he had anticipated.

At least there's one more Blood Buddha charging ahead of him.

I really need to give the Blood Buddha a good talking-to!

With ink spreading from his fingertips, Li Wushou transformed back into a hungry ghost and rushed out of the domain river.

I need to find a place to go into seclusion first!
