Seeing Mao Xiaofang's somewhat puzzled expression, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Good and evil are not absolute, but relative. In different situations, good and evil may transform into each other. The key is whether we can look at everything in this world with a peaceful mind, not be deceived by appearances, and see through the essence of things."
Mao Xiaofang nodded in deep agreement.
Just then, Xiao Shan's divine sense detected a powerful individual entering Gantian Town.
At this point in time, the only possible candidate is Lei Gang, Mao Xiaofang's senior brother.
So Xiao Shan smiled and said to Mao Xiaofang, "Master Mao, your senior brother Lei Gang has returned."
"I have already refined the life tablet and placed it in my sea of consciousness to nurture it. He cannot break my magic power," Mao Xiaofang said, looking at Xiao Shan.
"Does Master Mao have any way to deal with the curses and black magic of the Southern Frontier?" Xiao Shan asked with some curiosity.
Mao Xiaofang didn't rush to answer, but instead called out to the outside, "Achu, Ahai, you and Axiu go to town and bring your senior uncle back."
"Yes, Master," Xiao Hai replied from outside.
"Lei Gang needs to consume the blood of 99 live sheep to recover his power upon his return. What are your plans, Master Mao?" Xiao Shan continued to ask.
“Group leader, since my senior brother wants to fight me, then I will have a good fight with him!” Mao Xiaofang said with a serious face. “As for the 99 live sheep, I will not let the villagers in the town suffer losses for nothing. I will buy them with my own money when the time comes.”
"Master Mao, are you planning to play your cards right in front of Lei Gang?"

“Well, rather than playing games and causing trouble for the villagers, it’s better to be straightforward and decisive.” Mao Xiaofang sighed. “After all these years, I didn’t expect him to still be unable to let go of fame and fortune, and unable to let go of his competitive spirit.”
Xiao Shan looked at Mao Xiaofang, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Master Mao, your free and easy spirit is truly admirable."
Mao Xiaofang laughed heartily: "Group leader, you flatter me. I was merely following my heart."
At this moment, Yu Dachu, Ahai, and Lei Xiu arrived at the entrance of the town.
Lei Gang was blind, and a scarf was wrapped around his neck to cover the wounds caused by practicing the Flying Head Curse.
"Dad, why did you come out alone?" Lei Xiu ran forward to help him.
"Uncle-Master, we've come to pick you up!" Yu Dachu and Ahai called out to Lei Gang.
Lei Gang was somewhat surprised and suspicious of the three people's arrival.
However, he then nodded and followed them toward the Fuxi Hall.
On the way to Fuxi Hall, Lei Gang appeared to have gained a profound understanding.
He also appeared approachable when facing Yu Dachu and Ahai.
This was a plan that Lei Gang had already devised.
He hoped to gain Mao Xiaofang's trust through this performance so that he could carry out his subsequent plans.
"Senior brother, welcome back! Let's go inside and talk." Mao Xiaofang greeted Lei Gang at the entrance of Fuxi Hall.
Lei Gang nodded: "Junior brother, I have been traveling in the South Seas for decades. Although my eyes are blind, my mind is still clear. However, I am afraid I will have to trouble you with my crippled body."
“Senior brother, you don’t need to be so perfunctory and try to lull me into a false sense of security. I already understand your intentions. A gentleman is open and honest, while a petty person is always anxious and worried.” Mao Xiaofang said bluntly, “Senior brother, we are brothers, you don’t want to be that two-faced petty person, do you?”
Upon hearing Mao Xiaofang's words, Lei Gang was taken aback, but then pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Junior brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Senior brother, have you ever heard of the art of listening to hearts? It allows one to hear the voice of the heart, understand the intentions of the heart, and discern both good and evil intentions," Mao Xiaofang said, looking at Lei Gang.
Lei Gang looked at Mao Xiaofang in disbelief: "Junior brother, I never expected you to have such abilities. I misjudged you."
"Senior brother, if you want to fight me, then please do it openly and fairly. There's no need to resort to any underhanded tactics," Mao Xiaofang said to Lei Gang. "Junior brother knows that you were injured in the fight and need the blood of 99 live sheep to restore your magic power. You don't need to secretly kill sheep to get the blood. Junior brother can pay for live sheep for you to help you recover your power. Once you've recovered, we can fight again and decide the winner."
Lei Gang's face turned ugly. He hadn't expected Mao Xiaofang to expose his plan so directly: "Fine, since you already know, then I don't need to hide it anymore. Junior brother, so many years have passed, and you haven't changed a bit. This time, I will definitely defeat you in this battle!"
Mao Xiaofang calmly looked at Lei Gang, who was gritting his teeth: "Senior brother, victory or defeat is not important. What is important is whether we can be true to our conscience! Junior brother hopes that you can truly let go of your obsessions and stop being blinded by power and desire."
After saying that, Mao Xiaofang turned around and walked into the Fuxi Hall.
Lei Gang stood there, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
After a while, he stepped into the Fuxi Hall.
He knew that Mao Xiaofang's strength should not be underestimated, but he still decided to go all out.
“Junior brother, this is when I am at my weakest. You don’t even think of taking advantage of me. You want to wait for me to recover my strength. I don’t know whether to call you stupid or naive,” Lei Gang said to Mao Xiaofang, who was walking ahead.
Mao Xiaofang sighed and said, "Senior brother, Master said back then that you were wicked, competitive, fond of fighting, and driven by fame and fortune. So many years have passed, and I never thought you still hadn't come to your senses!"
"We at Maoshan have upheld righteousness and warded off evil for many years, and have always persisted in subduing demons and monsters. What we are doing is not for fame or fortune, but for our duty to protect our territory and ensure the safety of our people."
"Master Mao is right. With great power comes great responsibility. When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. Fame and fortune are not to be pursued, but merely embellishments to add to one's glory. Do not put the cart before the horse." At this moment, Xiao Shan, sitting in the Fuxi Hall, slowly spoke.
"Who are you?" Lei Gang asked upon sensing Xiao Shan's presence.
Xiao Shan smiled and said, "My name is Xiao Shan, and I am also a cultivator who walks among the mortal world."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is a friend I recently met, my senior brother. I hope you won't do anything reckless," Mao Xiaofang reminded him.
Lei Gang didn't take Mao Xiaofang's words to heart.
Seeing this, Xiao Shan had no intention of disturbing the fellow disciples' reminiscing and went directly to the courtyard to continue his cultivation.
Just as Xiao Shan arrived at the courtyard, he discovered that someone was tagging him in the chat group.
Zhang Chulan: "@Group Owner Xiao Shan, Group Owner, how are things going with Master Mao? Have you finished dealing with the zombie issue?"
Chapter 680, Healing Lei Gang's Eyes! (Please Subscribe!)
Group owner Xiao Shan: "The zombie matter has been dealt with. Now Lei Gang is back, and Master Mao is preparing to fight him."
Zhang Sanfeng: "Group owner, could you please livestream the magic duel?"
Group owner Xiao Shan: "No problem!"
Zhang Chulan: "Group owner, are you planning to wait until you've watched Master Mao and his fellow disciples' duel before going back?"
Group owner Xiao Shan: "Hmm! Just to be on the safe side, I think it's best to watch their battle before going back!"
Huang Rong: "That makes sense!"
Group owner Xiao Shan: "@Wu Xie, Xiao Wu, how's the situation on your end?"
Wu Xie: "I've already started practicing the Yin Sha Hun Yuan Gong. I'll be able to use it when we go down into the pit!"
Group admin Xiao Shan: "Okay! That's good! If you need any help later, just let us know in the group!"
Wu Xie: "Okay!"
……
The World of Zombie Master.
After consuming the blood of 99 live sheep, Lei Gang's internal energy was finally restored.
Mao Xiaofang bought 99 goats and then gave the mutton to Liu Maoxing, asking him to help prepare extra food for everyone.
Liu Maoxing naturally said there was no problem with that.
So in the following days, everyone started eating mutton in different ways.
After regaining his magical power, Lei Gang said to Mao Xiaofang, "Junior brother, letting me regain my magical power was the most foolish decision you ever made."
"Senior brother, there hasn't been a competition yet, how do you know I'm inferior to you?" Mao Xiaofang seemed quite worried.
With the group points provided by the Blood Magic Body, Mao Xiaofang also purchased several skills from the chat group's shop and practiced them in the chat group's training ground.
Mao Xiaofang's cultivation level has now firmly surpassed Lei Gang's, but Lei Gang is unaware of this.
"When will we have our competition? Where will it be held?" Lei Gang asked impatiently.
Mao Xiaofang looked at Lei Gang speechlessly and asked, "Your eyes aren't healed yet, are you in such a hurry?"
"My eyes are already blind. Unless I find a living person to replace them with, which of you two will give me your eyes?" Lei Gang looked at Yu Dachu and Ahai.
"Master!" The two men were so frightened that they hid behind Mao Xiaofang, afraid that Lei Gang would really take their eyes.
Mao Xiaofang took out the recovery potion he had bought from the chat group store and said to Lei Gang, "Senior brother, since we're going to have a battle of magic, I won't take advantage of you. I'll heal your eyes for you!"
As he spoke, Mao Xiaofang told Lei Gang to drink the recovery potion.
Lei Gang was quite confident in Mao Xiaofang's character.
So Lei Gang drank the recovery potion in one gulp.
Then Lei Gang was surprised to find that his eyesight was gradually improving.
Once his eyes could see clearly again, Lei Gang looked at Lei Xiu beside him and said, "Xiu'er, you've grown up!"
Lei Xiu was naturally very excited to see that her father's eyes had actually recovered.
Yu Dachu and Ahai stared at Mao Xiaofang in shock, never expecting their master to possess such amazing skills.
It can restore sight to the blind.
After Lei Gang and his daughter calmed down, Yu Dachu finally spoke up and asked, "Master, when are you and your senior uncle going to have your magic duel?"
“Master, A-Chu definitely wants to call the reporters over. He’s been hanging around the Guangming Daily office in town lately! The matter of the magic duel involves many secrets of Maoshan. How can we let the reporters be present?” A-Hai said from the side.
Mao Xiaofang did not answer Yu Dachu and Ahai's questions, but looked at Lei Gang and said, "Senior brother, let's have our duel today!"
"Where are you planning to fight?" Lei Gang asked excitedly, thinking about his upcoming duel with Mao Xiaofang.
Mao Xiaofang looked at Lei Gang and said, "Let's set it up over there on the back mountain. You guys get ready too. We'll start in two hours."
Lei Gang nodded and left with Lei Xiu.
Watching Lei Gang leave, Mao Xiaofang took Ah Hai back to prepare items for the duel.
As for Yu Dachu, he slipped out to find Shu Ning, a reporter from Guangming Daily.
Xiao Shan arrived at the back mountain first, and then used his Five Elements Technique to create an altar for the battle.
The Art of Controlling the Five Elements is a hybrid technique that disassembles, merges, and reshapes the five elements, which greatly tests the practitioner's mental control.
After setting up the two altars for the duel, Xiao Shan also set up array barriers around them to prevent the battle from affecting innocent civilians.
After everything was settled, Xiao Shan sent a message to Mao Xiaofang directly in the group chat.
Group owner Xiao Shan: "Master Mao, I've finished setting up the altar on the back mountain!"
Mao Xiaofang: "Thank you, group owner!"
Two hours later.
The people of Gantian Town have already taken action upon hearing the news.
After learning that Mao Xiaofang was going to have a magical duel with someone, their curiosity was piqued, and they insisted on coming to see for themselves.
Next up were the two main characters of this battle.
Lei Gang carried a treasure bag on his waist and held a bronze bell in his hand.
Mao Xiaofang changed into a yellow robe and carried the Five Emperors Golden Coin Sword, while Ahai carried the rest of his belongings.
Yu Dachu appeared in the crowd of onlookers, accompanied by reporter Shu Ning.
Shu Ning wanted to go forward for an interview, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

After they each stood on the altar, Lei Gang looked at Mao Xiaofang and said, "Junior brother, I will not hold back in this battle!"
"Senior brother, just go all out, junior brother will take it all!" Mao Xiaofang said without hesitation.
Seeing that the battle between the two was about to begin, Xiao Shan immediately started a live stream in the chat group.
Group owner Xiao Shan: "The battle of wits has begun! Come and watch!"
Zhang Chulan: "Coming, coming!"
Yue Buqun: "Looking forward to it, looking forward to it!"
Huang Rong: "Who do you think will win this time?"
Hua Manlou: "I think it should be Master Mao!"
Lu Xiaoqian: "I also think it's Master Mao!"
