"You should change your surname, you can't use Zhu."
When these words fell,
Many warlords were first stunned, then they all couldn't hold back their laughter, and the scene immediately became agitated.
And Zhu Xun, who had thought the good times were about to come, now had his complexion turn from pale to crimson, then to purple, and with a "puff," he even spat out a mouthful of pus and blood.
He was finished!
One careless move and the entire game was lost.
According to reason, it shouldn't have been this way, after all, Zhu Xun was a man with strong cultivation and unparalleled Divine Skills, commanding a large army and with an old monster backing him.
Although it was very likely that he couldn't compete for supremacy, he was still qualified to vie for the Devil Concubine in distress.
Many of the warlords present had previously regarded Zhu Xun as a formidable rival.
But who could have expected?
Such a ferocious warlord, a remnant of the Zhu's, was ruined by Yuan Mingzhen in just a few words.
The most fatal wound was Yuan Mingzhen's last sentence.
After all, she was the heir to the Zhu's Dharma lineage, Mouth Containing the Heavenly Constitution, incapable of lying. Her words were equivalent to expelling Zhu Xun from the Zhu Family.
Once the news spread, all the Zhu family members coming to his side would disperse, and his army would be dismantled.
As for keeping it secret?
Inside the Little Leiyin Temple, not a single person would keep this Heavenly Eunuch's secret.
Accompanying the roaring laughter, the humiliated Zhu Xun had no choice but to temporarily escape.
Then the warlords all set their sights on You Changqing and Shi Zhongsheng.
Gao Tianci, who had initially been regarded as an enemy by everyone, was instead ignored, which made him even more unhappy.
The next focal point: the overt and covert struggles among the warlords.
All the demon monks were quick to understand and yielded the stage.
Allowing these powerfully strong demon figures and provincial representatives to begin fighting, the situation immediately became explosive.
Tao Qian, both listening and watching contentedly, was unraveling the situation like unwinding threads.
At the same time, he also quickly sorted out the situation of the Northern Land Provinces, analyzing in his mind,
"It seems that it won't be long before the Northern Land Provinces ignite a large-scale war amongst the warlords."
"The source of it all lies in the Alchemists' 'Hidden Dragon Feeding the True Dragon' plan."
"There's only one Ancestor Dragon Bloodline!"
"The Alchemist's full support can only happen once!"
"These warlords, as well as the many forces behind them, will do everything to seize the maturing fruit."
"The loser dies, and the winner takes all."
"The many big and small warlords will join forces first to deal with the triad of Zhang Jinluan, Si Xixin, and Hong Fu..."
Tao Qian thought to himself while also feeling a sense of powerlessness.
Although Master Tao had stirred up many things, he was also self-aware.
Once the chaos in the Northern Land broke out, there was no place for him to intervene.
Not to mention him, even if the entire Spirit Treasure Sect was dragged into it, it would hardly be helpful unless he could invite Lingbao Tianzun to descend from the heavens.
Such wishful thinking was needless to say.
"When will those blood-sucking old rats of the Alchemists die out?" Tao Qian cursed in his heart, a rare occurrence.
Just then, the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, who had recovered at some unknown time, approached Tao Qian and his wife with the appearance of the young Guanyin,
Standing at a deliberate distance, she first beamed a charming smile at Yunrong, indicating she had no covetous intentions at present.
Then she turned to Tao Qian, pretending to be naive and coyly said,
"Wu Gou, brother!"
"My master and the two senior masters want you to come over for a moment, presumably regarding your magical duel with that ugly monk tomorrow."
"Shan'er surreptitiously tells you, it's a good thing, they have powerful treasures and Divine Skills to lend you."
"Hurry and come with Shan'er, do not delay."
While speaking words that made Tao Qian terribly uncomfortable, the Beautiful Corpse actually seemed like a charming and adorable young girl, coming up to pull and tug Tao Qian to see the three Arhats.
At that moment, Tao Qian's mind suddenly flashed with the many scenes from his time in Southern Yue, especially the terrifying Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Image of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, the image of her pulling apart the Dharma Image, the scene of her swallowing a Buddha's son without hesitation...
Had it not been for the persistence of his Mind, Master Tao would probably have taken out the Toad God Wa Dang and smashed it down at her already.
