Chapter 608: 331 Heavenly Master_3

Upon hearing this remark, the expressions of Yun Songzi and his four companions changed, and hesitantly they said, "Is what you’re saying true? Would you dare to swear an oath to the Heart Demon?"

Fang Zhixing laughed dismissively, "I’m an Undying, and the Heart Demon has no hold over me. Whether you choose to believe my words or not is up to you."

Yun Songzi and the others were at a loss for words.

"I naturally believe what Fellow Daoist An says,"

Yun Songzi forced a chuckle and added, "However, it wouldn’t do for Fellow Daoist An to come all this way for nothing. I have a proposal."

With an indifferent tone, Fang Zhixing responded, "Feel free to speak."

Yun Songzi quickly continued, "At the grand gathering two days from now, the Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian factions will surely be at each other’s throats.

As a member of our Taoist sect, I hope you can lend a hand once to help us boost our prestige."

Pausing for a moment, Yun Songzi stroked his beard and added, "Of course, we won’t let you put in such effort in vain. If we obtain any rare treasures from the Ancient Imperial Forbidden Zone, you’ll be allowed to choose one item. How about that?"

Fang Zhixing sneered internally and flatly said, "I’ll stick to what I said before, I don’t want to get involved in more affairs."

Upon hearing his words, Yun Songzi instead smiled contentedly and nodded, "Good, we will not insist."

Shortly after, Fang Zhixing stood up and left.

Just then, Pingyangzi entered, and the two brushed past each other without further conflict.

Sitting down, Pingyangzi watched Fang Zhixing and his two companions walk away, with displeasure etched across his face, "Why must you be so submissive and fawning over this An Baopu?"

With an indifferent expression, Yun Songzi replied, "This man has emerged out of the blue and is quite formidable. I’ve received reliable information that he indeed defeated the Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak."

Pingyangzi’s face shifted slightly, and he snorted coldly, "That doesn’t prove anything."

Meanwhile, Fang Zhixing and his two companions continued to walk further away.

Lian Yue couldn’t help but speak up, "Big Brother An, are you really not interested in going to the Ancient Imperial Forbidden Zone?"

Lian Quan echoed, "The Ancient Imperial Forbidden Zone is tied to the previous dynasty, and rumors say that in its final days, countless treasures and rare curiosities were moved inside it."

Unmoved, Fang Zhixing replied, "Have you ever considered why, out of twelve who entered last time, only one person came out alive?"

Lian Yue and Lian Quan looked at each other, at a loss.

Fang Zhixing sighed softly, "Unless we understand the true situation of the Ancient Imperial Forbidden Zone, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to venture there rashly."

Lian Yue nodded thoughtfully, "True, after all, you only have one life to live."

Her words seemed insincere.

The Divine Skill of turning one into three pure ones is profound and inexplicable.

The three of them, Lian Yue, could indeed have two enter while one remained outside.

Even if two clones died, the impact on her wouldn’t be too severe; at worst, her Cultivation would fall slightly.

The three returned to the attic.

Gradually, dusk fell.

Lian Sheng came back, reeking of alcohol.

He called over Fang Zhixing and Lian Yue and said with a laugh, "Yang Baiqi told me that the Confucianism faction has agreed to join forces with Buddhism to suppress Taoism; the condition is that Confucianism will get five spots."

Fang Zhixing shook his head speechlessly, saying playfully, "The Heavenly Master Sect really isn’t popular, is it!"

...

...

Night fell.

Xigou’s Shadow Clone ran back.

"Cuiwei Palace has been found!"

Xigou, wagging his tail, smirked, "I also saw the Deer Antler Chair; it’s indeed inside Cuiwei Palace."

Fang Zhixing’s spirit was uplifted as he asked, "Is there an opportunity?"

Xigou relayed telepathically, "I overheard that tonight the Prince of Chu will take a bath at Flowing Spring."

Fang Zhixing was elated.

Quickly, the man and the dog silently left the guesthouse, avoiding all the guards, and made their way to Cuiwei Palace.

At this moment, the Prince of Chu had just left Cuiwei Palace not long ago, leaving the guards sparse.

Fang Zhixing, dressed in black and masked, followed Xigou into a palace.

For both of them, doing such a task was far too easy.

Before long, a Deer Antler Chair came into view.

Without a word, Fang Zhixing took a seat on it.

He focused on the System Panel.

Time ticked away!

Yet, nothing happened.

"It seems only the unique Dragon Chair will do!"

Fang Zhixing sighed.

...

...

In a flash, two days passed!

The grand assembly of the Buddhist faction proceeded as scheduled.

All the monks and guests from various factions gathered at the water and land venue.

Fang Zhixing calmly took a seat, casually observing everyone.

Look!

Abbot Jing Xuan was seated among the senior monks.

Several of these senior monks exuded a daunting presence, clearly the masters from Wanfa Temple.

On another side, a group of scholars dressed in Confucian robes appeared gentle and cultured, courteous and polished.

The middle-aged man leading them was the prestigious scholar Yang Baiqi, dressed in white as if carved from ice and snow, his demeanor natural and elegant.

Gathered together, their heads were surrounded by purple aura, forming a vast and boundless Vast Righteous Qi, indescribable.

"Scholars united truly are a frightening sight!" Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

After waiting a short while,

A heavyweight made his entrance.

It was none other than the Prince of Chu!

He appeared to be under forty years old, tall and burly with a face like chiseled stone, sporting a short beard, and possessing a disdainful majesty between his brows.

The Prince of Chu, donned in a Python Robe and smiling, stepped into the venue.

The entire room instantly quieted down to the point you could hear a pin drop.

"Greetings to the Prince!"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

"You may rise!"

The Prince of Chu, with a beaming smile, sat regally on the Deer Antler Chair, the center of attention.

He laughed out loud, "Today is a grand celebration for the Buddhist sect. Let us invite Master Kongji, the abbot of Wanfa Temple, to enlighten us about Buddhism."

All eyes on him, a white-browed old monk stood up, ascended the platform, and began to expound on Buddhist practice.

Although Master Kongji’s speech was filled with theory and sounded exceptionally dry,

Insiders can catch the subtleties.

Fang Zhixing, who also understood Buddhism, actually found the discourse quite engaging and greatly enlightening.

The morning quickly passed.

Master Kongji finally concluded his lecture.

The Prince of Chu sipped tea and began, "Next, let us discuss the distribution of slots for the event."
