"Let me drink some water first."
The Sparrow Demon said and flew to the edge of the Spirit Pool, flapping its wings.
The Cyan Snake did not stop it, merely urged with increasing eagerness to know what had happened.
After all, the Nine Pearl Monk was related to Leifeng Pagoda.
And inside Leifeng Pagoda, was the sister she had missed for eight hundred years.
Bai Suzhen!
"It's like this, Xiao Qing Immortal, allow me to explain slowly!"
After drinking several more sips of the Spirit Pool water, the Sparrow Demon finally stopped withholding information and slowly recounted the news it obtained.
As it spoke, the expression on the Cyan Snake's face kept changing.
"So, the Nine Pearl Monk died outside?"
"Makes sense..."
"If it were in Jinshan Temple, even if all nine bald donkeys worked together, I wouldn't have had a chance to kill any one of them."
The Cyan Snake muttered to itself.
The Sparrow Demon continued its account.
"According to the circulating news, Old Nine of the bald donkeys descended the mountain to hunt that big Black Bear."
"Unfortunately, he didn't anticipate that the Black Bear would actually acknowledge a Daoist as its boss!"
"Speaking of that Daoist, it seems his name is Lin Heng. He was previously unheard of, but recently gained fame in the Mortal World due to the dispute of Buddhist Dao concepts."
"But now, he's not only famous in the Mortal World but the entire Cultivation Realm is discussing him, especially his background!"
The Cyan Snake looked puzzled: "Background?"
"Yes, background!"
The Sparrow Demon said, "According to multiple sources, that Daoist named Lin Heng not only possesses the Golden Light Spell and the Five Thunders Righteous Method of Dragon and Tiger Mountain but also has Wudang Mountain's Tai Chi Feather Duster, Maoshan's Palm Thunder and Heaven-Reaching Talisman, as well as Qingcheng Mountain's Qi Body Origin Flow!"
"These are all secrets not spread by the major Daoism Holy Lands, yet they all appear on him, so the Cultivation Realm is debating, whose disciple is he, really?"
"Xiao Qing Immortal, what do you think?"
The Sparrow Demon curiously asked.
However, the Cyan Snake's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as if contemplating something.
"Are you sure he truly possesses the Qi Body Origin Flow?"
The Sparrow Demon rolled its eyes, "Xiao Qing Immortal, I might lack other skills, but my knack for gathering information, you still doubt? I have a dedicated demon intelligence organization! If I wasn't sure about this, I wouldn't be in my line of work."
"That's true."
The Cyan Snake nodded, not denying it.
She also knew that the Sparrow Demon wouldn't easily report unreliable information to her.
"So, the Nine Pearl Monk was taken down by that Daoist, along with the Bear Demon?" the Cyan Snake asked.
Familiar with the Black Bear Spirit's sneaky nature, who always looted Jinshan Temple treasures whenever she invaded, she had long been accustomed to this.
The only surprise was the presence of a Daoist behind this Black Bear Spirit.
"Together? There's no need to join forces."
Upon hearing the Cyan Snake's question, the Sparrow Demon said disdainfully:
"That Daoist was incredibly powerful, the Nine Pearl Monk was single-handedly taken down by him."
"The Black Bear Spirit? Just a bystander enjoying the show."
Known far and wide for its infamous reputation, the Black Bear Spirit was famous for preferring petty theft and enjoying chaos from a safe distance.
The Sparrow Demon always despised it.
"That Daoist is so strong? Just by his own power, he dealt with the Nine Pearl Monk?" The Cyan Snake's beautiful eyes showed a hint of amazement.
The Sparrow Demon replied: "Yes."
"Eyewitnesses say that Daoist used the Qi Body Origin Flow to directly render all of Old Nine's divine techniques useless!"
"Later, Old Nine used a Eighth Grade Prayer Beads, wanting to use the Magical Artifact to subdue the Daoist."
"Guess what happened next?"
"When the Eighth Grade Prayer Beads were thrown at the Daoist, he turned a Pill Furnace in the opposite direction and smashed that Prayer Beads away."
"It's said that Old Nine's face turned green at that point, haha, what a shame I didn't get to see it, or I'd have mocked him on the spot!"
Evidently, the Sparrow Demon harbored great prejudice against the Buddhist Sect people.
As it recounted the Nine Pearl Monk's setback, it chirped incessantly, taking joy in others' misfortunes.
But the Cyan Snake wore a peculiar expression.
"Destroyed the Buddhist Sect's Eighth Grade Prayer Beads with a Pill Furnace? Really?"
She furrowed her elegant brows, feeling it was incredible.
The only explanation was,
that Daoist's cultivation was heaven-reaching!
In his hands, let alone a Pill Furnace, even common grass and wood could wield astonishing power!
"Oh right, I haven't told you the great news yet!"
The Sparrow Demon suddenly recalled the main point.
The Cyan Snake was startled: "There's more good news?"
She thought the Sparrow Demon meant the unexpected demise of the Nine Pearl Monk as the joyous news.
"Of course!"
The Sparrow Demon suddenly became serious, speaking mysteriously in a low voice:
"According to the latest information I received, Old Nine's death has enraged everyone at Jinshan Temple."
"Especially his eight senior brothers, they're practically exploding with anger."
"If the information is accurate, then in the next two days, at least four bald donkeys from Leifeng Pagoda will descend the mountain to seek revenge on the Daoist at Qingfeng Temple!"
"At that time, with Leifeng Pagoda unguarded, Xiao Qing Immortal, won't your opportunity come?"
The Sparrow Demon started to fantasize about the scene of Leifeng Pagoda falling, it couldn't help but grin, imagining that Xiao Qing Immortal finally had the chance to rescue the legendary Little White Immortal!
"The monks guarding Leifeng Pagoda are personally descending the mountain for revenge?" The Cyan Snake's beautiful eyes narrowed in contemplation.
After a moment, she returned to the depths of her abode, gathered some items, and prepared to leave.
The Sparrow Demon was startled at this, quickly reminding:
"Xiao Qing Immortal, are you heading to Jinshan Temple now?"
"I said within the next two days, not that those bald donkeys have already descended the mountain..."
It thought the Cyan Snake couldn't wait any longer.
Unexpectedly, the Cyan Snake shook her head and said: "I'm going to Qingfeng Temple on White Cliff Mountain."
"Since that Daoist possesses Qingcheng Mountain's Qi Body Origin Flow, then certain things should be entrusted to him."
...
...
Two days had passed since the Nine Pearl Monk was slain.
During these two days, not only did the Cultivation Realm widely discuss the event, but in the Mortal World, the video of that day's great battle also went viral on every trending topic list.
Lin Heng's immortal-like demeanor and divine-like methods profoundly impacted people's hearts.
Many who were previously hesitant about which was superior, Buddhism or Daoism, had been won over by Lin Heng.
His Reputation Value, as a result, exploded once again.
In those two days of accumulation, his total Reputation Value broke through one hundred million once more.
Thinking about the legendary level rewards from the draw, Lin Heng was extremely excited.
However, just as he prepared to focus and start the draw in the Quiet Chamber,
a weighty presence suddenly descended.
At the same time, in the Spirit Medicine Garden, the Black Bear Spirit sprang up, looking at the distant ice-cold figure of a woman in green!
"Why is she here?" The Black Bear Spirit's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
