"Master, there are people from the Island Country coming up the mountain!"

A young Daoist hurriedly ran into the Spirit Treasure Hall and reported to his master Xuanming.

"People from the Island Country?"

Xuanming frowned.

Although Shangqing Tao is well-known in the Dragon Country, those who come up the mountain to burn incense and worship are only people from the Dragon Country themselves.

There are hardly any foreigners.

After all, the foundation of Taoism is shallow abroad.

Even those who believe in it are just overseas Chinese.

Since Shangqing Tao opened to tourism, this is the first time people from the Island Country have come.

"Let's go out and see!"

Xuanming is responsible for receiving tourists and devotees.

Since people from the Island Country came unexpectedly, he naturally needs to go out and see what's going on.

"Senior brother, let's go and have a look too!"

Seeing the situation, Qingyue pulled at Lu Heng's sleeve and whispered.

Lu Heng looked at her speechlessly.

This girl, wherever there's excitement, she wants to go there, completely lacking the awareness of being a Daoist.

Even so, he was still pulled out by Qingyue.

The tourists and devotees who were previously watching Sister Hong wiping the deity statue also had their gossipy fire ignited.

Everyone was curious, what do these people from the Island Country want to do by coming up the mountain?

Could it be they are also here to burn incense and worship?

Therefore, everyone poured out of the Spirit Treasure Hall in a swarm.

In the mountain top square, Mukai was eloquently speaking to the live broadcast camera, with the perfect cooperation of two cameramen.

Upon seeing Xuanming and others arriving, he immediately stopped his topic.

What's the point of continuing when the main figures are here?

"Hello, dare I ask how should I address you, Daoist?"

Mukai quickly walked up to Xuanming, smiling.

"I'm Xuanming!"

Xuanming introduced himself.

"Daoist Xuanming, let me introduce you..."

"This is Mr. Abe, from the Island Country, a descendant of the Yin Yang Master Seimei Abe."

"Mr. Abe received the heritage and training of a Yin Yang Master from a young age."

"After achieving some cultivation success, he traveled the world, looking for relics left by the gods."

"A few days ago, Mr. Abe saw some videos about Shangqing Tao."

"Everyone says Shangqing Tao has Immortals showing their presence, so he was very curious and asked me to bring him here to explore..."

Mukai explained the purpose of the visit.

"Chattering and jabbering..."

Abe from the Island Country also started speaking.

Xuanming and others didn't understand the language of the Island Country, and naturally looked confused.

Seeing this, Mukai quickly translated: "Mr. Abe said that since Shangqing Tao has Immortal manifestations, it must have unique heritage."

"He wishes to witness the heritage of Shangqing Tao today."

"It would be best if he could spar with the experts here..."

As soon as Mukai finished speaking, the surrounding crowd exploded in uproar.

"Damn, I thought they were here for something else, turns out they're here to cause trouble!"

"What else do you think these people from the Island Country can be up to?"

"Don't you see that pseudo-army broadcasting with two phones, probably here to ride the hype too."

"The guy can broadcast if he wants, but bringing people from the Island Country, that's low!"

"I see it now, these people from the Island Country are here to spoil things!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Shangqing Tao has Immortals showing up, they can't handle these punks?"

The tourists and devotees whispered among themselves.

Qingyue frowned slightly and whispered, "Senior brother, are they really here to cause trouble?"

"Seems like it."

Lu Heng nodded slightly.

He felt somewhat regretful.

If it wasn't for testing the Heaven-Stepping Cloud Step that day, he wouldn't have been caught on camera by tourists and devotees on the mountain.

If that hadn't happened, online celebrities and streamers like Sister Hong wouldn't have been drawn in.

Now that Shangqing Tao has gained so much attention, everyone, regardless of human or dog, wants to jump on the bandwagon.

Xuanming said blandly, "If you are here to burn incense and worship, I am very welcoming."

"But if you're here just to cause trouble, then please leave!"

To be honest, he's seen plenty of people claiming to spar or challenge as an excuse to cause trouble.

Before it was always people from Dragon Country, but now it's people from the Island Country.

"Daoist Xuanming, why turn people away from thousands of miles away?"

"Mr. Abe represents the Yin Yang Masters of the Island Country, while Shangqing Tao represents the traditional Taoism of the Dragon Country."

"Isn't it wonderful to sit down together and spar, discussing the Dao?"

Seeing Xuanming directly refuse, Mukai hurriedly persuaded.

"Shangqing Tao is a place of serenity, it cannot tolerate your mischief here!"

Xuanming snorted coldly with an angry expression.

Recently, just dealing with those domestic online celebrities and streamers had already made him worried sick.

Now a few people from the Island Country came to stir trouble, his temper was beginning to flare.

"Well..."

Mukai was a bit dumbfounded.

With no other choice, he had to turn aside and communicate with Abe and others.

After the communication, a look of hesitation appeared on Mukai's face.

"Mr. Abe said, if no expert from Shangqing Tao is willing to come out and spar, then it proves Shangqing Tao is only famous in name."

"And everything that happened before was deliberately hyped by Shangqing Tao to attract tourists."

"He plans to announce these facts to the world, letting everyone see through you deceiving Taoists..."

Mukai awkwardly translated Abe's words completely.

Today's events were somewhat beyond his expectations.

He didn't expect Shangqing Tao to refuse so decisively.

This made things awkward for both sides.

Leaving them with no place to go, nor stay.

Moreover, he didn't expect Abe and others, who were relatively gentle before, to become so firm now.

It's like a clash of spear and shield.

After listening, Xuanming was so angry his eyes went round.

They didn't want to cause trouble, but the other side was aggressive and kept causing it.

Meanwhile, those internet celebrities and streamers who were previously broadcasting on the mountain quickly swarmed over like flies smelling something sweet.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Hang, today a big event happened at Shangqing Tao..."

"People from the Island Country have come up the mountain to challenge Shangqing Tao, let's see what it's about..."

"Everyone says Shangqing Tao has Immortals showing up, didn't this attract people from the Island Country over..."

"We'll see today if the Immortals of Shangqing Tao are real or fake..."

"I told you there are no Immortals at Shangqing Tao, Sister Hong was just plain unlucky..."

"The shameless hype by Shangqing Tao will finally face consequences! They don't dare face the challenge from the Island Country, surely they're guilty..."

"Shangqing Tao's refusal to fight not only disgraces Taoism but also our Dragon Country, let's all resist together..."

The interruptions by online celebrities caused Lu Heng's brow to furrow more and more.

These people claim to be Yin Yang Masters, but how much ability do they really have?

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Mukai.

"System, query this person's past information!"
