The news of Fa Hai manifesting in the heavens quickly spread throughout the Cultivation Realm, undoubtedly causing a tremendous sensation.

Demons and evil spirits were uneasy, all involuntarily recalling the fear from eight hundred years ago when facing that Mad Monk.

"It must be because the Leifeng Pagoda was damaged, making Fa Hai furious!"

"It's over now. Jinshan Temple will definitely invite Fa Hai to descend to the human world. I can't imagine what kind of bloody storm it would stir up by then..."

"Damn it, I originally wanted to take advantage of these chaotic times to show my might, and now I can't even think about it."

"Staying in the clan isn't safe either. I need to find a desolate place to seal myself and avoid the world!"

Many Demon Race patriarchs were beginning to prepare for self-seclusion.

"Patriarch, is it necessary? You've cultivated for a thousand years with immense cultivation. Even if you can't defeat Fa Hai, you don't have to be scared into sealing yourself away, right?"

Many young demons felt speechless despite having heard of Fa Hai's infamous reputation, but still thought their patriarchs were making a big deal out of nothing.

"What do you know?"

"You haven't experienced that era, so you have no idea how abnormal Fa Hai is. He's a madman; if you cross paths with him, begging every deity won't save you."

The ancient Great Demons cursed, expressing that the younger generation truly enjoyed too many peaceful days and had no idea what it meant for Fa Hai to descend to the human world.

Despite their internal disagreements, many young demons were no longer daring to talk back.

...

At the same time, unlike the fear of demons and evil spirits, human cultivators were full of anticipation for Fa Hai's appearance.

"These days, demons are emerging everywhere."

"The Black Mountain Demon was just the beginning. Fengdu Ghost City is the truly terrifying place, and that Demon-locking Tower on Shushan is rumored to be very restless lately."

"If the Daoist Holy Land were well and peaceful, it would be fine; in times of chaos, they would naturally act to stabilize the situation."

"But the key is that even the Daoist Holy Land currently can't take care of itself. Even Qingcheng Mountain was directly wiped out. In this situation, without a formidable person coming, who knows how much the human world would be harmed!"

"So if Fa Hai could descend to the mortal realm, it would undoubtedly be fantastic news!"

"Indeed."

Many people enthusiastically agreed.

Although Fa Hai is said to be arrogant and stubborn, it must be admitted that he has always taken on the task of subduing demons and eradicating devils without hesitation.

In these times, there really is a need for someone like him to appear.

"But speaking of it, the Observatory Master of Qingfeng Temple, who has recently risen to fame in Daoism, also deeply harbors a heart to save the world and its people. The only pity is that his current strength is somewhat lacking; otherwise, he would undoubtedly not tolerate the rampant demons."

Someone suddenly mentioned Qingfeng Temple, which instantly sparked heated discussions.

"That is true. It's well known that the Observatory Master and the Buddhist Sect have deep antagonism, almost to the point of an endless survival struggle."

"But when Lingyin Temple was unable to cope during the great battle against the Black Mountain Demon, that Observatory Master actually stepped up and slew three major Black Mountain Fiends in a row, which was truly unexpected!"

"Indeed, in these days, from the early challenges from the Great Brightness Temple to Jinshan Temple's repeated crusades against Qingfeng Temple, there were even small rumors saying that when Lingyin Temple's army set out that day, it might originally have been to kill the Observatory Master."

"Who would have thought that under such animosity, when facing demons, with Lingyin Temple unable to resist, it would be that Observatory Master who put aside grievances and biases to come forward resolutely?"

"Say what you will, this mentality and perspective are exemplary for the Righteous Dao, leaving one with no choice but to respect!"

"Truly, the Buddhist Saint Sect should learn a great deal from this!"

"Exactly!"

...

Lingyin Temple's Dust Concealment could never have imagined that this battle would leave him with nothing but his underpants.

Yet he was still subjected to commentary across the Cultivation Realm, even being told to learn from Qingfeng Temple on what it means to be an exemplar of the Righteous Dao and what magnanimity looks like?

"Learn from him, my ass!"

Already exceedingly frustrated and aggrieved, Dust Concealment was so infuriated that he coughed up blood.

...

On the other side.

In Black Mountain, gloom and despair spread.

No one among the mountain demons could have imagined that after surviving the horrific battle at Qingcheng Mountain, all five great demons would fall just trying to capture a Cyan Snake?

This dealt a tremendous blow to the Black Mountain demons.

"It's all the fault of that damn Buddhist Sect!"

"Our Black Mountain had no prior grievances with the Buddhist Sect. If they hadn't intended to summon Fa Hai to deal with us, how would the five lords have encountered such calamity?"

"Those bald monks should really die!!"

The Black Mountain demons were gnashing their teeth in anger.

Tree Demon Granny, however, was indifferent to this.

What truly concerned it was Fa Hai's Golden Body.

The oppressive power from that day in the sky still left it shaken even now,

"Granny."

Suddenly, a figure appeared, interrupting its thoughts.

Amidst a mountain of bones, rooted in a heap of corpses, Tree Demon Granny put away Fa Hai's Golden Body, then looked indifferently at the Yellow-clad Ghost.

"Did you not bring back the Cyan Snake?" Tree Demon Granny spoke, its tone calm and revealing neither joy nor anger.

But the Yellow-clad Ghost hastily knelt: "Granny, I went to Qingfeng Temple, but there was a Grand Array there, so I didn't dare to force my way in..."

On that day, to catch the Cyan Snake, the other five great fiends personally went themselves.

Tree Demon Granny was indifferent, merely sending a disciple, the Yellow-clad Ghost known as Huang Mei here at Black Mountain.

"Forget it, I didn't expect you to accomplish anything anyway."

Perhaps its mind wasn't on the Cyan Snake, so Tree Demon Granny did not blame it.

At this moment, Huang Mei suddenly spoke: "But Granny, on this trip, I discovered two other things!"

Tree Demon Granny looked at it dispassionately.

It said solemnly: "In Qingfeng Temple, there is a Spirit Medicine Garden, where all planted are rare treasures, including the Earth Nourishing and Connecting Demon Ginseng and the Red Flame Netherworld Spirit Root!"

"What?"

Tree Demon Granny slightly raised its eyebrows, showing some surprise, then asked: "And what's the other discovery?"

Huang Mei said gravely: "I saw that wretched creature!"

Tree Demon Granny's eyes narrowed: "Xiaoqian..."

Its expression gradually darkened, remaining silent for a long time before speaking coldly:

"Seeing her is normal. Her ashes are with me, she can't leave me."

Huang Mei gritted its teeth: "Damned, if it hadn't been for Yan Chixia originally giving her the hiding Magical Treasure, we should have caught her long ago."

"That wretched creature, always siding elsewhere, back then helping Yan Chixia was one thing, but now to see her warn that Daoist at Qingfeng Temple, such shamelessness!"

Huang Mei cursed viciously, with deep-seated jealousy and resentment in its eyes.

"Enough."

"She doesn't matter."

Tree Demon Granny spoke, interrupting Huang Mei's cursing, then said: "Those wasted Thousand-legged State Preceptors were killed by that Daoist."

"Very well, I'll rest for two days, and then I'll personally visit Qingfeng Temple."
