Ye Bai was not yet aware of a huge surprise waiting for him.

"Kuimu Wolf, are we still following the plan to capture Master Zhishen now?"

Zhang Lingxue asked tentatively.

One of Ye Bai's pet beasts suddenly left, which could disrupt Ye Bai's plan.

"No need, Candle Dragon Spirit has its discretion. We still need to find Master Zhishen and seize control of the 750 Bureau first."

"If we can't act first and set up the defenses urgently, the Seven Stars may quickly break through the current defenses and enter the 750 Bureau."

"The indescribable objects here cannot be released by the Seven Stars. This concerns a quarter of Flame Country's territory."

The indescribable objects of the 750 Bureau have been sealed heavily. It took Master Zhishen considerable effort to unravel the seal of the Evil God back then.

However, the Sun God is very adept at breaking seals among the Seven Stars.

He's a very renowned sealing master.

He was once wanted by Flame Country for committing genocide.

After bidding farewell to the Evil God, Master Zhishen walked into a zen room.

This was where Master Zhishen usually practiced the Ten Dragons and Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Skill.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, and streams of white vapor emerged from the top of Master Zhishen's head, forming the shadow of Ten Dragons and Ten Tigers in the air.

The sound of dragon's roar and tiger's roar emanated from the top of Master Zhishen's head.

Before long, sweat poured from Master Zhishen's body like rain.

His body emitted a sound like popping beans, and his muscles were tense and taut.

Golden light radiated from his skin, making Master Zhishen seem like a golden statue at this moment.

Suddenly, a thumb-sized flying insect appeared through the door gap, silently flying in the air, circling Master Zhishen twice as if confirming something.

Then it slipped out through the door gap.

The Blue Phoenix, staying in the underground sewer, suddenly grinned, "Found you."

"It seems you've discovered Master Zhishen."

"But our actions must be cautious, and we must not alert anyone else."

Ye Bai instructed the Blue Phoenix.

The air in the underground sewer was somewhat unpleasant, and the Blue Phoenix opened the insect nest, from which countless Gu insects swarmed out.

Wherever they passed, the exotic beasts dwelling in the sewer turned to white bones.

"I have just released the Barrier Gu."

"As long as within the range of this barrier, no one will hear the sounds of fighting."

"But the Barrier Gu can only last for three hours, and if it receives severe impacts, it will fail."

"You'd better manage the timing."

"Controlling the Barrier Gu consumes energy, so I will not be able to cope with combat temporarily."

"I will use the Invisibility Gu to hide my aura, so as not to be a burden."

Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue exchanged glances.

"No problem, leave the fighting to us."

Zhang Lingxue had a close-combat Asura Demon Ape and a healing True Bright Goddess Butterfly at hand.

Dealing with Master Zhishen should not present any problem.

Moreover, Ye Bai was assisting from the side. If there were any issues, Ye Bai would offer help immediately.

Master Zhishen, in the zen room, suddenly realized that the surrounding sounds had become much quieter.

This made him feel a hint of unease.

"Strange, I am a Tier Seven strong being, and I have the blessing of the Evil God. Why am I feeling a trace of unease?"

The illusion of Ten Dragons and Ten Tigers on Master Zhishen dissipated instantly.

"Something's not right, it's too quiet around."

"Vajra Demon-Subduing Staff."

A nearly two-meter-long dark-golden stick appeared in front of Master Zhishen.

At this moment, a massive black fist broke through the zen room, heavily aiming toward Master Zhishen.

Master Zhishen gripped the Vajra Demon-Subduing Staff, his whole body taut with muscle.

He braced himself vigorously, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground underfoot.

Master Zhishen's tiger mouth was numbed.

The fist was blocked, and he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Continue, Asura Demon Ape."

The Asura Demon Ape slowly withdrew its hand, clasping both hands together, and slammed down fiercely on the dilapidated house below.

A loud bang was heard.

The whole ground shook slightly, with a cloud of dust filling the air.

But due to the effect of the Barrier Gu, people in the 750 Bureau didn't notice the surrounding abnormality.

They only felt a slight tremor of the ground.

Since the 750 Bureau was established underground, tremors were common occurrences, hence, this did not attract the attention of patrol members.

As the smoke cleared, the dusty Master Zhishen crawled out of the ruins.

He looked very disheveled.

The Asura Demon Ape's previous attack did not inflict serious damage on Master Zhishen.

"Hmph, it's indeed you, one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Kuimu Wolf and Heart Moon Fox."

"How did you break through the Tenfold Roshomon to get in here?"

Master Zhishen asked very puzzledly.

He emitted a strong aura, showing no fear of Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue.

A wild smile and a contemptuous look appeared on his face, "Honestly, I haven't fought directly with the Twenty-Eight Constellations before."

"I always wanted to ask Marshal Qilin why, as a Tier Seven strong being, I am not one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Isn't it ironic?"

"From the moment I was rejected by the Twenty-Eight Constellations, I swore in secret to defeat one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations publicly, to prove myself above them."

"Actually, the person who wants to fight you the most is me, Kuimu Wolf."

"I wanted to know which is sharper, the blade of White Tiger's Fang or my Golden Body defense."

"But it doesn't matter, I'll take care of this Asura Demon Ape first, then duel you."

Master Zhishen took a deep breath; his body emitted a sound like popping beans.

He swelled with the wind, instantly reaching a height of nearly three meters.

The length of the Zen Staff also extended.

At this moment, Master Zhishen changed in appearance, black dragon scales grew on his body, with six whiskers appearing on his mouth.

The shape of the Zen Staff became a dragon head, emitting a melodious dragon's roar.

"I haven't fought with full strength for ages; honestly, I'm quite regretful."

"Had I known you were so weak, I would've killed you all and taken your soul artifacts."

"Flame Country not recognizing me is okay; as long as the world recognizes me, it's enough."

Master Zhishen let out a hoarse voice, his large eyes staring at Ye Bai's direction.

"Once I handle this Asura Demon Ape, I'll come for you."

Master Zhishen strode forward boldly, with each step causing a bottomless crack on the ground.

The Asura Demon Ape, seeing the aggressive human approaching, was provoked into a combat stance, its eyes turning red.

"Take this strike!"

Master Zhishen leaped high, like a cannonball, into the sky, then lifted the Zen Staff and swung it fiercely toward the Asura Demon Ape's head.

If it could hit the Asura Demon Ape's head, it was estimated to explode like a watermelon.

But Zhang Lingxue would not let this happen.

"True Bright Goddess Butterfly, Holy Light Protection."

The True Bright Goddess Butterfly radiated light resembling broad daylight, ascending into the sky like the blazing sun.

A milky white protective shield descended upon the Asura Demon Ape.

At that moment, Master Zhishen exerted all his strength and swung forward forcefully.

As the Zen Staff touched the milky white protective shield, an immense force struck.

Unable to hold, the Zen Staff flew out instantly, embedding heavily into the wall.

Master Zhishen was also affected, slamming into the wall with a thud, then slowly slid down.

"Not bad."

Master Zhishen stretched his muscles.

"I can admit your strength is good, but compared to me, you are still somewhat lacking."

"Now, I'll let you know what true power is."

"Unmoving Ming King Mantra blesses my body, aiding me in obliterating adversaries!"
