The more you believe me, the more real it becomes.

Chapter 92 Do you want to see my true form or my Dharma form?!

Hu Weixi could only shout sternly:
"You old Taoist priest, do you truly have no fear of my gate?!"

This amused Du Yuan, who looked at her and said:

"Don't you understand? The wolf demon that went after Madam Han was killed. The person behind you clearly knows this, yet they still sent you, a little demon, here."

"Isn't it just that I wanted to use you to test the waters?"

“Cultivation is not easy for demons, so I will offer advice and guidance whenever I can. But someone as wicked and stupid as you is extremely rare, and you are not worth saving!”

The leopard could smell something, so how could Du Yuan not see that the fox and the wolf demon were in cahoots?
Having said that, Du Yuan's mocking expression deepened, her gaze passing over Hu Weixi and piercing straight into the emptiness behind her. Standing with her hands behind her back, her clear voice pierced the night sky:

"Now you see me here,"

Finally, Du Yuan asked with a smile:
"Are you still satisfied?"

Du Yuan's words were piercing, and although Hu Weixi did not reply, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not worth the Taoist priest's continued efforts.

They were even gripped by a startled realization.

After a moment of shock, he could only say in a panic:
"Impossible! How could a mere madman like you presume to presume to act so recklessly towards a Celestial Venerable?"

But before she could finish a single sentence, she froze on the spot.

Immediately, everyone was horrified to see that irregular wriggling movements were emerging all over her body.

It was as if something had been forcibly stuffed into her body, and now it was about to burst out!
In the blink of an eye, she started bleeding from all seven orifices and was clearly beyond saving.

She herself knew that the Taoist priest was right; she was indeed just a pawn thrown in to test the waters.

Driven by an intense desire to survive, she struggled to reach out her hand to Du Yuan:
"Master, save me... save me!"

Du Yuan said indifferently:

"I told you, you're not worth saving!"

At this point, the last glimmer of hope was swallowed up by the constantly writhing protrusion.

Then, something that looked like Hu Weixi, but everyone knew it wasn't Hu Weixi, stood there in an odd posture.

As those pupils continued to roll, they transformed into a pair of heterochromatic eyes with a hint of pale gold.

It exhibited no strange behavior other than its color, yet the moment it appeared, it silenced the entire world.

All the ordinary people present panicked and lowered their heads at that moment, not daring to look at such a terrifying sight.

Du Yuan, the only one still standing tall, knew that the old man who was truly hiding behind the scenes had 'arrived'.

This is something that a little monster like Hu Weixi can't compare to.

I am now a Taoist priest, not a Buddhist monk.

so.
After Du Yuan smiled calmly, she put her hands behind her back.

It's as if to say, "Look all you want, I'm not afraid of your stuff!"

But in reality, this action revealed the small seal.

Since that obviously strangely dressed young man was scared away.

Today, I should be able to borrow some of my friend's prestige!

Sure enough, as increasingly suspicious and contemptuous gazes swept over his waist...

Even from a great distance, Du Yuan could sense the disbelief in that person's pupils contracting.

Thinking of this, Du Yuan slowly stepped forward.

Amidst the other party's surprise and uncertainty, they slowly approached.

As they walked, Du Yuan asked it:
"So, you want to see my true form,"

The two sides are now only one step apart.

Du Yuan looked down at him and asked in a cold voice:

"You still need to see my Dharma form!"

Just then, the small seal fluttered, revealing four ancient seal characters: "Imperial Edict to Guard the World!"
"Alas--!!!!!"

Under the immense pressure from Du Yuan, the creature immediately screamed and retreated repeatedly.

Only after collapsing to the ground did he regain his senses, then raised one palm high and brought it down suddenly.

The body was smashed to pieces. Only a pair of pale gold, jewel-like pupils remained, rolling among the many ashes.

They came and went so quickly, without any hesitation!
Seeing this, Du Yuan smiled calmly, feeling relieved.

It's definitely more convenient to have someone behind you.

Behind Du Yuan, many members of the Han clan hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Thank you so much, Daoist Master, for saving the Han family!"

With a clatter, all the members of the Han family knelt down. Only the heads of the Fang, Cui, Xing, Feng, and Zhang families remained kneeling, too shocked to follow suit.

But at this moment, he saw that not only was he still standing there, but he also noticed that the Taoist priest seemed to be turning around.

So they quickly knelt down and shouted:

"From this day forward, my Cui family of Qingzhou will be at your disposal, Daoist!"

"We, the members of the Zhang clan of Qiantang, will obey your orders, Daoist!"

"The Qinghe Fang clan, the Qingzhou branch, numbering over a thousand, will follow the Daoist's lead without question!"

"Through mountains of knives and seas of fire, the Xing family will not hesitate!"

Seeing that all the nice words had been said by his companions, the last remaining member of the Feng family, the head of the Feng family, paused for a moment, then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, knelt down and cried out:

"Me too!"
-
Meanwhile, in the Prince Anqing's residence.

King Anqing was looking at the guests with great satisfaction.

They were all representatives of the Qingzhou gentry.

Their arrival proves that their great cause is just around the corner.

The only thing that dissatisfied him was...
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced slightly to the left and right.

This is his seat, so besides him, the host, there is also the Lone Peak Master, whom he relies on most.

And people from the five major clans: Fang, Cui, Xing, Feng, and Zhang.

They came, but only the second son or the eldest son of the head of the family came.

He understood that the other party didn't want to leave the game too early, so he still treated them with great hospitality.

But why did the person surnamed Feng only send his own son?
Has he forgotten whose side his Bo Ling Feng clan belongs to?
-
Everything was fine until the last "Me too," which made Du Yuan turn around and look at the other person.

After staring at it carefully for a while, Du Yuan felt both disappointed and amused.

This isn't a leopard's head with bulging eyes, or a swallow's chin and tiger's whiskers.

After shaking her head with amusement, Du Yuan was about to say that there was no need for such a thing when she saw the leopard she had rescued running towards her with something that looked somewhat familiar in its mouth.

Upon closer inspection, Du Yuan was surprised to discover that it was actually her own white jade bodhi!

But when he reached into his pocket, he took out his own.

Remembering the god's instructions, Han Cheng hurriedly said:

"Daoist Master, this is a gift sent to you by the Supreme God. It is said that the leopard found a treasure that pleased the Supreme God so much that the Supreme God even promised to grant the leopard a divine position!"

"But this spirit leopard prefers to live in the mortal world and be supported by us."

"oh?!"

Curious, Du Yuan reached out and took the white jade bodhi.

Upon first touch, Du Yuan saw that the white jade bodhi had transformed into a white jade hairpin.

Then, without any object moving, it rose from nowhere.

A mountain breeze, carrying an indescribable coolness, also blew in at this moment, gently smoothing Du Yuan's slowly growing hair.

Finally, with a gentle touch, she styled his hair into a neat bun.

Only then did the Taoist priest truly resemble a Taoist priest, rather than just a monk.

The man and the god smiled knowingly at each other.

I've overslept, so I might as well post tomorrow's drafts too.
