Inside Si Tiantai, Ying Feiyang left cleanly after causing a ruckus. However, he left behind a mess for people to clean up.
Now, Ce Tianji was reporting to Mu Zixuan with a bitter face. "Alliance leader, Di Lingtian heard that Ying Tianming is in Si Tiantai. He sent word for alliance leader to cooperate and capture him and send him to Kunlun to show the sincerity of our cooperation."
Mu Zixuan spread her hands and said helplessly, "Sincerity, sincerity. You make it sound like we have sincerity with the Six Realms. Unfortunately, my junior has left. Where can I hand it over to him?"
Ce Tianji was shocked. "Left? Where did he go? Didn't they say he is in closed-door cultivation in Si Tiantai? "
"This … I can't say." Mu Zixuan shook her head. She held her forehead and said, "This junior of mine really left me with a difficult problem. He knew that he was the target of the Six Realms' Evil Destroyer, but he still appeared in Si Tiantai with great fanfare. Everyone knew about it. Then, he said that he is in closed-door cultivation in Si Tiantai. He just wants to use himself as bait to get me to show my weakness … If I don't hand him over, then my cooperation with the Six Realms will be severed. But if I reveal his whereabouts, I will become the target of suspicion of the Buddhist sects. How troublesome … "
Ce Tianji asked, "Then, alliance leader's choice is …"
Mu Zixuan had already weighed the pros and cons. She said, "Now that I am in the position of alliance leader, I don't know how many eyes are staring at me. It is better to be cautious and not be used against me. Help me reject Di Lingtian."
Ce Tianji said worriedly, "But the last time you covered Ji Fengming's retreat, you have already offended the Six Realms' Evil Destroyer. If you reject them now, I'm afraid …"
Mu Zixuan was also helpless. She shook her head and said, "There's no other way. Cooperation is always accompanied by compromise and compromise. Right now, we are still of use to each other. Di Lingtian is a smart person, he should understand this point."
Ce Tianji continued, "Ying Tianming has not only caused one trouble. There is one more thing. After that brat's actions, there are some people in the alliance who are dissatisfied with the alliance leader. Led by Golden Hook Shuo of Sharp Metal Tower, Taizhen Temple, Dharma Characteristics Temple, Yin Yang Sect and others who have great enmity with Ying Tianming, they are all saying that you are unfair in handling matters and are intentionally biased towards Ying Feiyang. These days, they have been gathering together, who knows what they are plotting …"
"Hehe! Previously, when we said that we would settle our enmity, no one forced them to agree. They only agreed if they were confident. In the end, one by one, they made a fool of themselves under my junior's sword. Now, they want to go back on their words. Now, they are even pushing the responsibility to me? "Mu Zixuan's words were mocking, but his gaze was getting colder and colder. "If it doesn't suit their interests, then it's unfair. If it suits their interests, then it's fair. No wonder they always consider themselves to be righteous. If they can do such a thing, then I can't bear to see it. Being their Alliance Leader really lowers my status …"
Ce Tianji saw the murderous intent between his brows and understood Mu Zixuan's meaning. "Alliance leader, you mean … as usual?"
Mu Zixuan nodded, his gaze cold as winter. "That's right. The Six Realms' Evil Destroyer wants to rebuild the Hungry Ghost Realm. At this time, he should be in urgent need of blood. If we send this gift at the right time, it should make Di Lingtian less resentful."
"No problem." After Ce Tianji responded, he couldn't help but mock, "Sacrificing themselves to stop the Six Realms' Evil Destroyer might be the only righteous thing they have done … at least they are worthy of calling themselves righteous in the past."
Mu Zixuan leaned back on his seat and said tiredly, "After two years of cleaning up, although the Righteous Sky Alliance is already under my control, there are still people with ulterior motives jumping out from time to time. Junior forced them out. In a sense, you have helped me. This time, I will return the favor. What one sword to settle our enmity? He is kind, but there are people in the dark who are thinking of skinning him and breaking his bones. Unless he cuts the necks of all his enemies with one sword, this enmity will never end. I should be the one to teach him how to end this so-called enmity! "
Hearing Mu Zixuan's words, Ce Tianji's expression was hesitant. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Alliance leader, forgive me for being blunt. Recently, have you been too sentimental?"
"Sentimental? Why do you say that?" Mu Zixuan laughed in self-mockery, and there was a hint of sorrow in his words. "I'm someone who can remain indifferent even when Master steps onto the path of death!"
"I just feel that it was inappropriate for you to help Ji Fengming get out of danger. And now …" Ce Tianji considered his words. "Although you have your reasons and can always convince me, I still feel that you have given way too much to Ying Tianming …"
Mu Zixuan smiled. "Ha, I knew it. Uncle Ce, you have a problem with me covering Ji Fengming's retreat. You finally can't help but ask? "
Ce Tianji said, "Yes, covering Ji Fengming's retreat and letting him take back the Deva's Five Signs of Decay will give Wei Wushuang hope to recover. But once Wei Wushuang appears again, with his reputation and power, all our years of planning will be in vain. I really can't think of any reason for you to do this. If it is for your friendship with Ji Fengming, this price is too …"
Mu Zixuan laughed. "Uncle Ce, you are thinking too lightly. Let me ask you, what is five plus one?"
Ce Tianji said angrily, "Isn't five plus one six? We are talking about serious matters. What are you trying to change? "
"Wrong!" Mu Zixuan pressed the table and leaned forward. She stared at Ce Tianji and said word by word, "Five plus one is the gathering of six realms. The Six Realms Reincarnation Formation reappears!"
"Six Realms Reincarnation Formation!" Ce Tianji's heart skipped a beat. He thought of this infamous legendary formation. Every time this formation appeared, it was a catastrophe for the righteous faction. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew that two years ago, a half-finished upper three realms reincarnation formation was enough to make the righteous faction suffer heavy losses. If the Six Realms Reincarnation Formation appeared again, then the consequences … Ce Tianji couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Mu Zixuan said, "Do you understand now? Why is Di Lingtian in such a hurry to rebuild the Hungry Ghost Realm? It must be for the Six Realms Reincarnation Formation. We want to nurture the enemy to strengthen ourselves. But if we don't have the means to control the enemy, then we will be nurturing a tiger that will invite disaster. Although the Hell Realm is under my control, Di Lingtian is the master of the six realms. With his influence, no one knows how much he has infiltrated the Hell Realm. So, in order to shed all pretense of cordiality with the six realms and let me become the hero that destroys the six realms, we must prepare a backup plan. In terms of formation skills, other than Wei Wushuang and Ji Fengming, only the two of them can break the Six Realms Reincarnation Formation. "
"Ji Fengming has no interest in power. Plus, he is my friend and won't fight for merits with me. He is the best candidate to break the Six Realms Reincarnation Formation. So we cannot fail." Mu Zixuan knocked on the table and said coldly, "As for Wei Wushuang … everything is still uncertain. It won't be easy to break the seal and come out."
Ce Tianji suddenly realized. "I see! Alliance Leader, you think far ahead. You are indeed our Prince Ziwei! "
But he paused and said, "But as for Ying Tianming … Alliance Leader, tell me the truth. You really don't have any thoughts of siding with him?"
Mu Zixuan seemed to think seriously. In his mind, the time he spent with his Honored Master kept popping up like bubbles. He was dazed for a moment. Then, he put his hand on his forehead and laughed. "Ha, for Honored Master's sake, maybe I did inadvertently. But … he isn't a threat now. As his senior, there's no harm in letting him win …"
"Be careful. If you let him win too much, you might lose everything …" Ce Tianji wanted to remind him but he saw that Mu Zixuan had already closed his eyes. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised as if he was lost in his memories. In the end, he couldn't bear to say anything.
Ce Tianji tiptoed out of the hall and closed the door softly. Only at this moment could Prince Ziwei, who was always treading on blood, stay in the past.

Shu County was located in the center of the basin. In terms of Fengshui, it was a treasure bowl that brought wealth from all directions. Perhaps it was because of this treasure land that Shu County had been an important place for commerce since ancient times. In addition, the world had been peaceful for more than a hundred years, so it developed even faster. In terms of wealth, it was only second to Luoyang and Yangzhou.
However, the people of Shu pursued leisure. Compared to Yangzhou and Luoyang, which were busy and bustling with goods and carriages at dawn, Shu County's merchants preferred to sleep until the middle of the morning. The merchants in Sichuan preferred to sleep until the middle of the morning, and then open for business after leisurely eating breakfast.
Therefore, although the market was open, there weren't many people on the streets. Not many people paid attention to a carriage that drove by.
In the carriage, Ying Feiyang said to Ling Xin, "Now that I have awakened the power of the dragons, I don't need to take a leisurely carriage anymore. I can make some preparations in Shu County and buy the things I need along the way. Then, I can hurry on with my journey …"
As Ying Feiyang spoke, Ling Xin lifted the curtain of the carriage. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked curiously at a peddler who was making dough. She didn't even blink.
"Goddess? Goddess? "Ying Feiyang called out twice more before Ling Xin came back to her senses. Her face turned slightly red as she said, "Hmm? I'm listening. "
Ying Feiyang saw this and said with a smile, "Goddess, you're looking so seriously. Have you never been to the market before?"
There was a flash of sadness in Ling Xin's beautiful eyes, but in the end, she said as if nothing had happened, "Since I was young, I was regarded as the reincarnation of a goddess and entered the Youtan Pure Sect to cultivate. After that, I didn't have much free time. Although I did go to Chang 'an, Luoyang, and other big cities, I came and went in a hurry. I didn't have the time to stroll around the market …"
Although Goddess Ling Xin spoke in a carefree manner, Ying Feiyang could hear the disappointment in her voice. After getting along for a long time, Ying Feiyang also had some understanding of the goddess.
As a goddess who had been passed down for generations, she had been the symbol of nobility, nobility, purity, and selflessness since the day she was born. No matter where she was, she was the focus of attention and worship. She had always tried her best to play the role of a goddess, making her words and actions graceful and in line with the dignified demeanor that a goddess should have.
If not for the fact that he had gotten along with her for a long time and could occasionally see her revealing the spirituality that a young girl should have, Ying Feiyang almost thought that she was a statue that had walked down from the altar.
Thinking that she could not go shopping and play like other girls of the same age since she was young, Ying Feiyang suddenly felt an inexplicable pity in his heart. He said, "Goddess, I grew up in Shu and can be considered as half a master in Shu Commandery. If you are interested, I can take you to the market in Shu."
Ling Xin was slightly moved, and a flash of expectation flashed in her eyes. But then she regained her calmness and smiled calmly, "There will always be opportunities in the future. Now it's more important. I'll buy some dry food and the like and come back. Besides, Brother Ying, don't you want to keep a low profile? It's better not to show up at this time and attract attention … "
When Ying Feiyang heard this, he suddenly felt discouraged. He had a lot of old friends in Shu. If he wanted to go to Donghai secretly, it was not appropriate for him to show up here. "Well, by the way, I bought a cart of wine on credit. Goddess, you just happened to help me pay for the wine. Just mention my name and say thank you to the boss. Look, it's this shop!"
Ying Feiyang raised his hand and pointed at a tavern that was neither too big nor too small. The shop was a little remote, and it did not look like a high-class place. However, the signboard was wiped clean, and the words "Mu Family Tavern" were written on it.
When Ying Feiyang finished speaking, he handed the money bag to Ling Xin. He stretched and said, "I asked a lot of money from our Alliance Leader Mu. It's more than enough to pay for the wine. I'll have to trouble Goddess. I won't get off the carriage. I haven't slept much these days. I'll take this opportunity to take a nap in the carriage."
"Okay, Brother Ying has really worked hard these days in order to learn how to control the Guardian's magical power. Leave this kind of small matter to me." As she said this, Ling Xin stopped the carriage at the side. Ying Feiyang took the opportunity to lie down. As soon as he closed his eyes, he started snoring. The Goddess put on the black veil and bamboo hat, turned over and got off the carriage. Then, she walked away gracefully.
However, as soon as she entered the door of the tavern, Ling Xin immediately felt that something was wrong. It was currently morning. In the world, except for a few drunkards, who would come to drink in the morning? However, the tavern was almost full of people and the atmosphere seemed to be at daggers drawn.
And everyone's attention was on the table in the middle of the tavern.
