Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 937 - 377: The Daoist Descends to the Mortal Realm (Part 4)

Zhou Xuan’s plan came out, Zhou Lingyi’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Double deception?"

"That’s right... The evil rat is hiding, Bi Fang is also hiding. I’ll craft a scheme to coax both of them to reveal themselves."

Zhou Xuan said with a smiling look; "For those two creatures lurking in the shadows, we can only use underhanded tactics. If I kill the Daoist, the snake will be startled, and Bi Fang won’t come to the mortal world. We have to lure them step by step."

This series of interlinked strategies sounded extremely brilliant to Zhou Lingyi, who covered her mouth and nose with a fan and laughed gently: "Bi Fang thinks he’s joined forces with the evil rat, the evil rat also thinks he’s teamed up with Bi Fang, but on the day the situation unfolds, they will never imagine that their people have never truly met."

"Just wait and see, it’s going to be a great show."

Zhou Xuan finished speaking, then said to Zhou Lingyi, "Sister, I’ll continue with my storytelling, I’m fine, you can return to Mingjiang." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I definitely cannot go back."

"Is there still something big?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Something huge." Zhou Lingyi sat slightly tilted on a stool, holding tea, her smile blossoming like a flower and said: "It’s hard to come to Mingjiang Prefecture, of course, I want to see your storytelling with my own eyes... Your storytelling, for me, is the most important thing."

"Alright, alright, feel free to listen, feel free to listen."

Zhou Xuan happily went on stage, with friends and family seating in the audience, his confidence surged even more.

...

Zhou Xuan’s presentation continued, while deep in the audience, a person in white appeared.

This was Jia Dao, the first Daoist under Bi Fang.

The "Upper Soldier" in the legend of ascending to immortality in seven days refers to such naturally gifted Daoists like Jia Dao.

He was lurking in the audience, waiting for the storytelling to end, so he could leave and scout out Zhou Xuan’s defense arrangements in the human world—whether there was any breach.

Otherwise, why would eight out of the nine golden sticks in the Divine Country have sounded, predicting that the time to kill Zhou Xuan had arrived?

Meanwhile on stage, as Zhou Xuan was storytelling, another consciousness emerged from his Secret Realm—an Engineer.

The Engineer is an "adult consciousness" in the Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty, with exceedingly potent spiritual control.

Apart from possessing Miss Qiang’s ability to manipulate flesh, she also has unparalleled "shadowing" skills.

"Ah Xuan, I’ll keep track of that Daoist, he won’t escape.

The Engineer gave her solemn pledge to Zhou Xuan.

The white-robed Daoist "Jia Dao" had someone shadowing him, so naturally, Zhou Xuan didn’t worry about him.

Moreover, he didn’t have the time to spare.

Zhou Xuan found that there was another blunder in tonight’s storytelling.

The first time he told stories, he chose the wrong books, receiving almost no audience response, thus unable to gather Wish Power.

The second time, he was sure the book choice was right, and the Wish Power gathered, as towering as mountains and seas, pressed straight towards the Prefecture City among the clouds.

But this time, a peculiar situation arose—despite the dense Wish Power being only three yards away from the Prefecture City among the clouds.

After that, no matter how hard Zhou Xuan tried storytelling, the Wish Power indeed condensed more densely but just wouldn’t grow taller or reach into the Prefecture City.

The distance between the Wish Power and the cloud-bound Prefecture City remained three yards, unchanged under any circumstances.

"Why can’t I cross the final three yards?" Zhou Xuan was very suspicious.

The Prefecture City in the clouds is the blueprint, the Wish Power is the bricks and tiles, only when Wish Power reaches the Prefecture City can the reconstruction work in Mingjiang Prefecture proceed systematically.

Yet the three-yard distance wedged between them suddenly became an insurmountable wall of sighs, blocking the rebuilding of Mingjiang Prefecture...
