This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

News of what happened at the Floating Life Inn spread quickly, especially after Xu Xie's death, when the Gu God Temple collapsed for no apparent reason, and the other divine messengers also died tragically, their bodies buried under the collapsed temple.

Some of the core members of the Gu God Cult went insane for no reason, some were arrested because their crimes were exposed, and others were beaten to death by the oppressed masses. In short, the once-powerful Gu God Cult disintegrated and collapsed completely within a day or two.

Kong Xiang seized the opportunity, completely renovated the Floating Life Inn, and renamed it "Encountering Immortals Pavilion".

The room where Zheng Zhuang stayed was carefully sealed off, and it was claimed to be a place where immortals once lived.

After all, although everyone ran out of the inn that day, quite a few people still saw Zheng Zhuang riding away on his sword, and the fame of "Yu Xian Lou" spread as a result.

After that, the business of "Yuxianlou" got better and better every day. Everyone wanted to come and get some "immortal energy". Even the city lord made a special trip to visit and stayed there for a day.

All of this was unknown to Zhengzhuang, who had already left.

There was another reason why he did not kill the Gu God directly.

He could sense that the power of faith emanating from the Gu God was much stronger than that of Ah Xiu and the others, and they were almost from the same source. If he killed the Gu God, he would likely gain a lot of power of faith.

However, most of the faith power of the Gu God was stolen from the City God. If it were transferred to him, it might not be able to return to the City God.

Therefore, even though he knew that the power of faith would be useful to him, he still handed over the Gu God to Zhao Chenghuang in order to avoid bearing the consequences.

As for what Zhao Chenghuang would do, he didn't need to worry about that.

Zheng Zhuang's flying sword was very fast, so he returned to Peach Blossom Courtyard in Quliang City that night. He didn't wake Niu Daben and Qin Qianqian, but simply left Lan Pangzi aside and went to sleep.

The next day, Qin Qianqian sat alone in the courtyard, her hands supporting her face, looking somewhat sullen.

With Zheng Zhuang away these past few days, she felt something was missing, to the point that even the food at Peach Blossom Pavilion tasted a bit off. However, she did drink quite a bit of peach blossom wine.

Although peach blossom wine is produced in limited quantities and has even been sold at extremely high prices privately, it is still not difficult for her to get a taste.

The peach blossoms of old peach trees are different from ordinary ones; they possess a unique spiritual quality, and often only a small piece needs to be added when making wine.

Niu Daben has a deep obsession with the peach blossoms of the old peach tree, and occasionally he will shamelessly drink a sip or two of peach blossom wine.

Qin Qianqian sipped a few drinks, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said to Niu Daben:

"Where did you think the young master went? He's been gone for several days now. What if he's not coming back?"

Niu Daben snorted smugly at the old peach tree, still savoring the taste of the peach blossom wine, and said while curling his tongue:

"The Lord has his own plans, why are you worrying about this?"

Qin Qianqian rolled her eyes: "What do you know? What if the young master meets some vixen outside..."

Niu Daben said irritably, "Our master's magic power is boundless. Let alone one fox spirit, he could kill ten of them with a single sword strike!"

"Oh dear, I wasn't talking about that kind of vixen!"

Are there many different kinds of fox spirits?

"..."

Just then, the sound of a door opening rang out, and the man and the ox quickly turned around to look, only to see Zheng Zhuang walking out of the house.

"Ah! Young master, when did you get back?" Qin Qianqian asked in surprise.

Zheng Zhuang smiled slightly; he had missed the little girl a bit after not seeing her for a few days.

"I came back last night. It's so much more comfortable to have my own yard."

"Oh dear, why didn't you wake us, young master? Did the trip go smoothly?"

"It went fairly smoothly. I took a trip to Jiankang City, and oh, I brought back a little thing. Blue Fatty, come out quickly."

Zheng Zhuang nodded, then called out into the house.

The blue fat cat hopped out, and being a demon after all, and with the help of Zheng Zhuang's elixir, its wounds had almost healed.

"Ah! What an adorable little fox, and it's even blue!"

Qin Qianqian immediately screamed; girls generally have little resistance to such furry little things.

She ran over quickly. The blue fat boy instinctively tried to dodge, but the little girl was a cultivator after all, and she was faster, picking him up in one go.

As she stroked the little fox, she said, "Is its name Blue Fatty? It is quite chubby!"

The little girl was overjoyed and kept playing with the Doraemon; the little thing was just too cute.

The blue cat was extremely unwilling, but it couldn't break free, so it looked to Zheng Zhuang for help.

Zheng Zhuang pretended not to see and asked:

"Has anything happened these past few days?"

Niu Daben was stunned when he saw the blue fat man. Qin Qianqian was right; the master had indeed encountered a vixen.

Upon hearing Zheng Zhuang's question, Niu Daben quickly replied, "Reporting to my lord, there's nothing special. It's just that the old man came by once last time to ask if my lord has returned."

Zheng Zhuang nodded slightly. He was just about to look for Chen Chui. Ah Xiu's matter was settled, and it was time to meet the woman in the painting, the so-called Empress Cangyue.

……

In a secluded cave, two figures sat facing each other.

One of the middle-aged women, dressed as a peasant, suddenly let out a muffled groan, and then a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Fourth Sister, what's wrong?" another handsome middle-aged man asked with concern.

He looked to be in his forties, but not old at all. Dressed like a scholar, he exuded masculinity, and with his angular face, he possessed an indescribable charm.

“The Gu God… is dead!” said the woman known as “Fourth Sister”.

The middle-aged man was immediately shocked: "How is this possible? Who did this? That City God shouldn't have such abilities!"

"I suspect it's the person who killed Qin Ming and Ah Xiu. Apart from him, we haven't provoked any other cultivators. It's truly despicable!"

"Is he the expert from the Divine Sword Sect you mentioned? Should I go and meet him?"

"No! Your identity must not be revealed now, or it will ruin the master's great plans!"

Tu Si Niang quickly stopped the middle-aged man, her eyes filled with love:

"I know you want to avenge me, but the time is not right yet. Besides, I heard from Night Bat that the person is highly skilled, and I can't bear to see you get hurt."

The middle-aged man grabbed Tu Si Niang and sneered, "Are you looking down on your husband? You deserve a beating!"

"Oh dear, I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again. My husband is the best!" Tu Si Niang said coquettishly.

The middle-aged man asked, "Is there any news about the person who rescued the ox demon?"

Tu Si Niang knew what he was planning to do, and quickly advised him, "You must not provoke that person. I have already reported this matter to the master. You can give up on the Yellow Ox Demon, but you must not make an enemy of that person unless absolutely necessary."

"So powerful? Is he some kind of reclusive old monster?" The middle-aged man was somewhat skeptical.

Tu Si Niang said with lingering fear, "Luckily, I concealed my aura at the time. If he had discovered me, I probably wouldn't have made it back, because he was the one who stopped the Blood Demon!"
