Qin Luo remained calm.

Mu Baichuan stepped forward, leaning on his cane, and said in a deep voice, "Young friend, if Longhu Temple is willing to cooperate with Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, we can achieve a win-win situation."

"Cooperation? Do you have the attitude to cooperate? Longhu Temple is not an entity you can control at will."

Qin Luo's eyes were filled with coldness.

"that is."

Ziyue nodded in agreement.

Zhou Dapeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When Zhu Chi and his group arrived at Longhu Temple, they tried to break down the door, completely disregarding the temple.

Mu Baichuan said with a smile, "Our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion only wants Black Mountain. As long as Longhu Temple doesn't interfere with Black Mountain's affairs, we will no longer target Longhu Temple. In fact, we can turn a blind eye to other matters."

Zhou Dapeng quickly chimed in, "Immortal Master, Black Mountain is just a remote and impoverished place. There's no need to make an enemy of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion over a Black Mountain."

Qin Luo knew they coveted the fortune of Black Mountain, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "The mountain god of Black Mountain was appointed by me. Anyone who dares to touch Black Mountain is my enemy."

"Did you confer the title of god?"

Mu Baichuan couldn't believe it.

The conferment of gods requires bearing immense karma, yet this junior can withstand the backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

Hu Sanniang sized up Qin Luo; he was handsome and had an ethereal air about him. "Could it be that I've misjudged him?"

Zhu Chi didn't care. He looked arrogant and said, "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king. This is the Zhu family's territory. The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion doesn't need your permission to take Black Mountain."

"It seems there's no room for negotiation."

Qin Luo sighed softly.

He originally intended to give Zhu Chi a chance.

Zhu Chi's eyes were filled with mockery, "Without the gatekeepers of Longhu Temple, you still dare to be arrogant in front of me."

Zi Yue chewed on a candied hawthorn, pouting as she looked at them like they were idiots. "My senior brother was appointed as a door god. You don't think my senior brother is weaker than a door god, do you?"

Mu Baichuan and Hu Sanniang looked at each other with wariness. This refined and easy-going young Taoist priest dared to break into the county government office, which was full of experts, so he must have something to rely on.

"What are you waiting for? Take them down."

Zhu Chi was getting impatient.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Dapeng quickly stepped back.

Upon hearing the order, the surrounding guards paused for a moment, then gripped their spears and thrust them forward simultaneously.

The heavy armor worn by these Iron Guards contains a special metal that makes them immune to attacks from Foundation Establishment experts. Ordinary cultivators dare not confront them head-on.

Qin Luo grabbed Zi Yue's shoulders and lifted her up. Then he raised his right foot and slammed it heavily onto the floor. Ripples spread across the ground, and floorboards shattered one after another. A terrifying shockwave spread out, and the guards along the way were blown away.

Even Zhou Dapeng, who had retreated to the back, was thrown into the air.

Seeing this, Mu Baichuan placed his cane in front of him, creating a blue barrier.

The guards only stopped when they crashed into the barrier.

At this moment, Zhu Chi realized that Qin Luo was not as simple as he thought. The powerful figures he had sent out earlier might have already been dealt with, but even so, he was still fearless.
