When the message was received, Wukong and the Bull Demon King were busy washing fruit.

The Yun family is coming to visit; this is for their hospitality.

"Big brother, what should we do?" Bull Demon King asked, scratching his head as he held a plate of Azure Frost Jade Fruit.

"I'll go take a look," Wukong said, handing the Mystic Ice Glazed Crimson Flame Fruit to the Bull Demon King.

"Big brother, take Luo Ci with you," Tian Susu reminded him.

After all, Luo Ci's current combat power is the highest under the Heavenly Dao.

"Okay, I understand. If Master asks, just say that Ancestor has something to discuss with me," Wukong said softly.

"Don't worry, brother." Bull Demon King and Tian Susu nodded.

Before Wukong and Luo Ci could leave, Bai Qingqing's voice came from the study: "Wukong..."

"I'll go first," Luo Ci said, and quickly walked towards the door.

After leaving the mortal dwelling, he took flight and headed towards Xiao Hengduan Peak.

Within the Vanders, he was unable to fly.

Luo Ci was the first to arrive.

The area around Xiaohengduan Peak was already covered in ice and snow.

Tang Qian and the others had been turned into ice sculptures.

Although frozen into an ice sculpture, the person was still alive, and even their eyeballs could move.

Upon seeing Luo Ci, a feeling of joy welled up inside him.

It is Lord Luo Ci.

There's hope.

"What kind of monster dares to cause trouble at Tianhen Mountain? How dare you!" Luo Ci's eyes widened in anger, but his simple-minded eyes did not have much of a deterrent effect.

However, his cultivation level was genuinely at the half-step divine realm.

Since Niu Shanming advanced to the Immortal Realm, his strength has been able to freely switch between the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm.

As long as it doesn't exceed the world's tolerance limit, it's fine.

He sensed danger from the stone demon on Xiaohengduan Peak, so he didn't hesitate to raise his strength to the maximum.

The blue stone did not answer, nor did it move at all.

The temperature around us dropped even lower, and large, white snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.

The snowflakes drifted lightly, but when they landed on the trees and rocks, they instantly shredded them into pieces.

The pure white snowflakes are like the sharpest magical weapons in the world.

Luo Ci immediately erected a spiritual energy shield.

However, the spiritual energy shield at the peak of the ninth level of the half-step divine realm was no match for a few falling snowflakes.

Click, click.

As snowflakes fell, the spiritual energy shield shattered instantly.

Luo Ci's expression immediately turned serious. He flipped his wrist, and a palm-sized golden dragon scale floated in mid-air.

Golden light suddenly burst forth, and the falling snowflakes turned into raindrops and fell.

The surrounding snow melted rapidly under the golden light.

This includes Tang Qian and Niu Yancai, among others.

The moment the ice and snow melted and Tang Qian and Niu Yan were able to move on their own, they immediately hid behind Luo Ci.

His teeth were chattering so badly that he couldn't even recount what had happened.

"Lord Luo Ci, what happened?" Niu Shanming and the others arrived much slower than Luo Ci.

"This stone demon is strange, be careful," Luo Ci said solemnly.

“Dragon scales…” The blue stone twitched slightly. Although it had no facial features, Luo Ci and the others seemed to see it frowning.

"Since you recognize it, why don't you surrender?" Luo Ci said as she poured spiritual energy into the dragon scales.

As spiritual energy was injected, a loud dragon roar suddenly resounded throughout the world.

The dragon's oppressive aura swept across the land.

Niu Shanming and the others could not withstand such pressure and knelt down with a thud.

But this overwhelming pressure seemed to have no effect on the bluestone; its voice remained casual and natural: "Interesting."

Luo Ci's expression changed drastically.

This is his trump card.

"Where did you get this dragon scale?" Qing Shi asked slowly.

Luo Ci pursed her lips, not answering, but only looking at Qing Shi warily.

"Hand over the dragon scales to me, and I will tell you where the treasure is in exchange, and I will even spare your lives," Qing Shi said again.

"Don't even think about it!" Luo Ci's face turned ashen, his hands gripping the dragon scale tightly.

"You ungrateful wretch!" Qing Shi sneered, conjuring up a pair of invisible giant hands that snatched the dragon scale away.

"Give it back to me!" Luo Ci roared and rushed forward without regard for anything else.

Niu Shanming also unleashed the Sea-Turning Seal.

Everyone unleashed their strongest magical treasures and launched their most powerful attacks.

However……

Qing Shi simply waved his hand casually, and Luo Ci and his group were knocked to the ground, all their attacks vanishing.

Niu Shanming and the others immediately widened their eyes.

Just who is this stone demon?

The mighty Lord Luo Ci was defeated by him with ease.

“Tell me where you got your dragon scales? I might spare your lives.” Qing Shi floated in mid-air, coldly staring at Luo Ci.

"You're dreaming..."

“I can tell you.” At that moment, Wukong’s voice came from afar.

The next second, Wukong arrived on his somersault cloud in just two breaths.

“This is…” Qing Shi’s gaze lingered on the somersault cloud that Wukong was riding on, then he abandoned Luo Ci, floated in front of Wukong, and even gently touched the somersault cloud.

"Don't touch it." Wukong quickly moved back.

But the bluestone had already been touched.

The next second, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a golden bolt of lightning struck straight down.

The bluestone was bathed in lightning, but not a single stone chip was shattered.

Instead, he stretched comfortably and said, "Great, that feels good!"

Niu Shanming and the others grew increasingly horrified. Just who was this person? How could he say that the tribulation of lightning was enjoyable?

But at this moment, they were no longer worried about their own safety.

Now that Wukong has arrived, it means that the master already knows what happened here.

"I've slept for a long time, and my body is a bit stiff. Let me give you another massage." Qing Shi said, and then touched Wukong's somersault cloud again.

Golden lightning struck down again.

After doing it three or five times in a row, Qing Shi finally let out a long sigh of relief: "That feels so good!"

Seeing that he had finished chopping the blue stone, Wukong stepped forward and said, "My lord, may I have a word with you in private?"

"Little monkey, where did you get these clouds from?" Qing Shi asked in return.

“You will know once you come along, sir,” Wukong said.

"So mysterious." Qing Shi snorted and put away the dragon scales on his own.

"Give me back the dragon scales!" Luo Ci cried out, her eyes red.

"Little monkey, lead the way." Qing Shi ignored Luo Ci and slowly said to Wukong.

"Please, sir..." Wukong turned around and said respectfully.

The distance from Xiao Hengduan Peak to Xingyue Zongfan Residence is very short, only a moment.

However, halfway through the journey, Qing Shi changed his mind.

"I have something very important to do right away. Let's talk another day." With that, Qing Shi transformed into a streak of light and prepared to leave.

But the next second, a green branch stretched out from the horizon, blocking its retreat.
