Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the three people Lan Zhi was referring to were none other than the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao.

Zhang Xiu frowned. "Them? They seem to be Taoists!"

Lanzhi asked curiously, "Taoists? Who are those people?"

"Hmph, they're nothing but a bunch of crooked and wicked people who deceive and bewitch others!"

Perhaps due to his living environment, Zhang Xiu, who always believed in the supremacy of force, was very resistant to these Taoists who promoted non-action, benevolence, and tolerance.

Because Zhang Xiu did not conceal his voice, his words were clearly heard by Zhang Jiao in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao stopped and turned around. When he saw Zhang Xiu riding on horseback, dressed in the attire of a Yulin Langguan (Imperial Guard), Zhang Jiao's expression changed slightly.

"This gentleman is mistaken! We are merely servants of the One God, helping people to enjoy His glory!"

Immediately, Zhang Jiao bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiu with a kind expression.

"Taiyi God??"

Zhang Xiu was taken aback for a moment.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Jiao smiled slightly at Zhang Xiu.

"I see!!"

Unexpectedly, they worshipped the Taiyi God. Zhang Xiu frowned and looked Zhang Jiao up and down. This was not a good time to criticize him.

Because Taiyi (the Supreme God of Heaven) and Houtu were the supreme gods that both the government and the emperor had to worship, he dared not make any unwarranted criticisms.

"In that case, please forgive my rudeness earlier. Farewell!"

Zhang Xiu then cupped his hands in greeting to Zhang Jiao, ignored him, and urged his horse forward.

"Wait a moment, sir!!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was about to leave, Zhang Jiao quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhang Xiu turned around and frowned as he looked at Zhang Jiao. Although he dared not criticize Taiyi God, it did not mean that he did not reject Zhang Jiao, this Taoist. After all, there were quite a few people who used the guise of gods to swindle and deceive.

"I observe that this young official is surrounded by a red light, and also contains a trace of purple energy. He is a reincarnation of a star, and is destined to be my lord's protector!"
