Sunset Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.

Outside the Taoist temple, the experts from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion unconsciously wanted to kneel down; their souls trembled.

This is a terrifying force that they cannot contend with.

"Help...help me..."

Wang Xiao's mind was still talking.

"waste!"

The vixen kicked Wang Xiao's head away.

Despair was all that remained in Wang Xiao's eyes. His body was burned to ashes by the golden flames and finally scattered by the wind.

The area outside the Taoist temple was eerily quiet.

Zhou Dapeng broke out in a cold sweat. The experts from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion had been killed, and they certainly wouldn't let it go. Even if they couldn't deal with Longhu Temple, dealing with him, the county magistrate, would be easy.

Cao Mang looked at Wu Xuantian, who was clad in golden armor and wielding a broadsword. He had previously doubted whether the door gods were real, but now he was certain that they truly existed.

Since the people of Jinyang City rushed to put up door gods, there have been fewer and fewer cases of burglary in the city. Cao Mang had thought it was strange at the time, but now he understands that door gods are really useful.

Wu Xuantian stood in front of the Dragon Tiger Temple, his tall figure like a peerless god-king. His shout of "Kill without mercy" made the powerful men from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion tremble, and the iron guards unconsciously retreated.

Zhu Chi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with anger. Wang Xiao had followed him for many years and was his confidant. He never expected that Longhu Temple would be so domineering and give him no face at all.

Hearing the commotion outside, Zi Yue and Jin Yan ran over with their bowls to see what was going on. "Wow, it's door gods!"

"How impressive!"

Jin Yan's eyes were filled with admiration.

The seductive woman chuckled, "What powerful door gods! No wonder the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty forbade the conferment of divine titles."

Zhu Chi was not intimidated. He snorted coldly, "A mere door god dares to act so fiercely, Elder Mu."

Everyone looked at the blind old man, who was a retainer of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and a powerful cultivator.

Mu Baichuan, leaning on his cane, did not step forward. Instead, he turned to look at Zhu Chi beside him and said, "Your Highness, since Longhu Temple does not welcome us, let's leave."

Zhu Chi was stunned. This powerful elder who could command the wind and rain was actually afraid of a mere door god.

Even someone as powerful as Elder Mu didn't dare to make a move, and the fear in the eyes of the other experts from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was even stronger.

"Third Sister!"

Zhu Chi looked at the vixen.

Hu Sanniang adopted a delicate and frail demeanor, appearing gentle and harmless. "Young Master, I am but a weak woman, only good at talking."

"hehe!"

Zhu Chi's face darkened.

Neither Hu Sanniang nor Mu Baichuan dared to make a move, proving that the door god was very powerful. Zhu Chi regained his composure, looked at the expressionless Qin Luo, and said, word by word, "You will regret this!"

Qin Luo remained calm and said softly, "If you want to be enemies with Longhu Temple, I'll fight you to the end."

"We'll wait and see."

Zhu Chi snorted coldly, turned around and left Longhu Temple, followed by the powerful figures from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

Hu Sanniang lightly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, exuding charm, "May I ask how you are addressed, my friend?"

Qin Luo did not answer.

"Hehe, we'll meet again." Hu Sanniang said with a charming smile as she turned and left.

"Old Wu, you've worked hard."

"This is my duty!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Xuantian returned to the portrait.

Ziyue approached with a bowl in her hand. "Senior brother, are they here to cause trouble?"

"Yes."

Qin Luo nodded.

Not long ago, Xuanzhi Mountain sent powerful figures to cause trouble, and now Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is coming to cause trouble as well. Qin Luo recalled his master's words and couldn't help but sigh, "Longhu Temple will have a lot of trouble in the future."

"If they come looking for trouble again, I'll beat them up with talismans!" Ziyue glared with her bright eyes.

Qin Luo chuckled and patted Zi Yue's head. "Don't always think about taking action. We should win people over with virtue."

"hey-hey."

Ziyue nodded with a smile.

Qin Luo knew they wouldn't leave easily. "Little dumpling, tell your friends to keep an eye on their movements."

"no problem."

The little dumpling flapped its wings and flew away.

...

Leaving Sunset Peak.

Zhu Chi's face remained dark the entire time. As the heir of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, all the geniuses of various sects treated him with utmost respect. Yet he was humiliated in this inconspicuous Longhu Temple. "Elder Mu, is it possible that even you cannot deal with the gatekeepers of Longhu Temple?"

Mu Baichuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, that gatekeeper has absorbed a large amount of faith power and has become quite powerful. It is not a wise move to confront it head-on."

"Then what should we do?"

"Secular affairs are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. As long as the surrounding people stop worshipping the door gods of Longhu Temple, the power of these door gods will be greatly reduced."

"That makes sense."

Zhu Chi clapped his hands excitedly with his jade fan, "Magistrate Zhou, you are in charge of this matter. If I see the door god portraits of Longhu Temple again in three days, you will come to me with your head."

Zhou Dapeng's face was very ugly. He couldn't afford to offend either Longhu Temple or the Prince of Zhenbei.

"Ordinary people are prohibited from offering incense and praying at Longhu Temple. Anyone who dares to disobey will be severely punished!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Dapeng had no choice but to agree.

"Cao Mang, I'm leaving this matter to you."

"My lord, this... is very difficult."

"It has to be done, even if it's difficult."

"..."

Cao Mang had the idea of ​​resigning from his official post.

But he still has a family to support.

Hu Sanniang staggered to Zhu Chi's side, "Young Master, why didn't you notify the Imperial Observatory?"

Zhu Chi waved his jade fan and said arrogantly, "There's no need to trouble the Imperial Observatory to deal with the Dragon Tiger Temple."

Hu Sanniang smiled without saying a word. Zhu Chi didn't want the Imperial Observatory to get involved; there must be something fishy going on.
