"What did you see?"

Yun Ziliang asked Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan pointed towards the directions of Six Ears and the Demon-Slaying Vajra, and said, "Look at them both, when the Medicine Buddha was pounding the medicine, their forms ruptured the same way, yet the way they ruptured is completely different.

Six Ears’ body cracked, emitting faint golden light,

but the Demon-Slaying Vajra’s body was being chiseled open bit by bit, with blood spurting from the wounds, just like a regular person being struck and killed."

After observing for a while, Yun Ziliang said, "That Medicine Buddha said they are five styles of Buddha Country, perhaps this difference is exactly the distinction between the ’five styles’ and other Buddha Country people."

"Why these five are called five styles, perhaps we need the second rule to emerge before we can know."

Yun Ziliang mentioned the second rule, and the incense fire Taoist heard it and came over, asking Zhou Xuan, "What exactly is the second rule you’re talking about?"

Zhou Xuan glanced up and down at the incense fire Taoist, smiling as he said, "Actually, there’s not much to it, it’s just ’speak where it comes from, explain its origin’."

Upon reaching this point, Six Ears and the Demon-Slaying Vajra had already been chiseled to death.

From the eye in the sky over the stage, came a sinister and frightening voice.

"The second rule, anyone who enters must clearly state who they are, where they come from, how they arrived, and what they intend to do here,

without mixing in a single lie, otherwise, erased by the stage."

After the eye announced the second rule, it radiated a chilling gaze.

The gaze seemed to see through people’s hearts, discerning whether every spoken word was true or false.

"Why did you set this rule?"

Li Changxun and the Engineer were somewhat puzzled, while not far away, the incense fire Taoist’s face alternated between dark and light; when his face steadied, his gaze was blankly fixed ahead, as if deep in thought.

Zhou Xuan said to Li Changxun and the Engineer, "The most crucial thing inside the stage is to earn the audience’s support,

in a grand play, whoever the audience supports, his popularity rises, along with ’strength in numbers,’ the audience can largely bolster the ’performers’ who hold high popularity."

"Put simply, this rule is to let everyone reveal themselves - they are either the scheming Tunnel Armor Disciples or the ambitious Buddha Country invaders, if they honestly express why they came, from where, and what they intend to do,

then the audience will surely detest them and support us."

Gaining the audience’s support at the stage is what Zhou Xuan most desires, of course, aside from support, Zhou Xuan also wishes to - through these "truths," figure out how those Buddha Country people entered Jing Country.

After hearing, the Engineer gave Zhou Xuan a thumbs-up and said, "Boss Xuan, were you raised in a cemetery?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Otherwise, why do you have so many cunning ideas?"

"... " Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan adjusted his hat and, looking at the absent-minded incense fire Taoist, said to the others, "Seeing the troubled expressions of the Tunnel Armor Disciple and Buddha Country people, I must lead by example."

Tunnel Armor Disciples and Buddha Country people, all schemers and full of evil plans, dare not speak their hearts in front of the many audiences in Mingjiang Prefecture City.

Zhou Xuan then waved casually to Hulu Taoist and Medicine Buddha, and said,

"If you dare not speak, then let me go first,

I am Zhou Xuan, Young Master of the Zhou Family’s Troupe in Ping Shui Prefecture, I’ve been residing in Mingjiang Prefecture City recently,

today, I come here with no hidden agenda, intending to do just two things,

first, I wish to thoroughly restore Mingjiang Prefecture City, to once again revive the once-grand Ye Ming River nightlife, allowing every family to return to their former lives, and to live even better."

This candid opinion moved the Mingjiang people to tears.

After Zhou Xuan took charge of the disaster-stricken Mingjiang Prefecture City, the majority of Mingjiang people possessed normal hearts and emotions, fervently supporting Zhou Xuan.

Yet there are always some who secretly slander Zhou Xuan, speak ill of him, fabricate rumors about him.

Some of these rumor spreaders are dispatched secretly by various forces, akin to the former Mouse King and Little Mouse.

Some are foolish, completely credulous to rumors, and spread them after hearing others discuss.

But there are also those who are purely malign,

unable to see others succeed, upon witnessing Zhou Xuan embraced by all classes in Mingjiang, they ceaselessly try to defame and slander Zhou Xuan.

The rhetoric they use most to defame is - that Zhou Xuan, having saved Mingjiang Prefecture City, surely seeks something in return! Who wouldn’t seek benefits after doing something so big?

This speculation in recent days has gradually gained ground in Mingjiang Prefecture City, and even begun to surface from "underground" to public knowledge,

and now, faced with "life and death" pressure, Zhou Xuan’s most sincere and earnest words decisively smash these conspiracy theories.

After all, lies lead to death, Mingjiang people have no reason to suspect Zhou Xuan of deception.

Precisely because Zhou Xuan cannot lie, his words are ever more poignant.

"Could it be the great master truly seeks nothing? Just views our plight in Mingjiang as unbearable and wishes to save us?"
