Then there was a thick fog stretching across the front. When Qi Kuo saw the fog, Dao Xin suddenly warned him that the fog was extremely dangerous.

Qi Kuo's expression froze, and then he saw from the memories of the four people that they rushed into the thick fog. Then an ancient, vast, and distant elephant cry was heard, and then two huge mouths swallowed the four people.

Then when the four people emerged from the big mouth again, they were directly transformed into mortals.

Finally, Dafang Zhenren appeared, and then they had a conversation, and then they flew all the way to the sky above Huacheng, until they were thrown down from the clouds and smashed through the roof of Yuhuan Palace.

Seeing this, Qi Kuo felt a chill run down his spine. Was that... an immortal technique that could directly deprive a True Immortal of their cultivation? Or was it a divine beast?

And this person is now above Huacheng!

The four people whose souls Qi Kuo had extracted to check their memories died at this moment. Their bodies and souls disappeared because their Taoist magic power had been devoured and their original spirits had disappeared, so their souls floated directly towards the City God Temple in Huacheng.

Qi Kuo himself turned into white light and flew out of Zhenyang Palace straight into the sky.

When Qi Kuo saw Fang Jian standing on the golden cloud, he realized that his aura was identical to his own, and he knew that he was also a Xuanxian. He felt relieved and bowed his head and said, "I am Qi Kuo, the abbot of Zhenyang Palace. I am honored to meet you, Daoist Fellow Dafang. I wonder why you would harm my disciple for no reason?"

Fang Jian said calmly, "I've made it clear. Your Sanyang Patriarch stole my boy's candied haws. I'm here to get my face back."

Upon hearing this, Qi Kuo did not try to argue with the Sanyang Patriarch about the candied haws. Instead, he said, "Since that's the case, I'll give you a hundred strings of candied haws and apologize to you, fellow Taoist. How do you think that is?"

Fang Jian frowned. He didn't expect Qi Kuo to take the initiative to back down, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Qi Kuo said, "Fellow Daoist, are you not satisfied? How about this: I will give your boy a hundred strings of candied haws made with the 'Flying Spirit Pill' and then apologize to you. How about that?"

"..." Fang Jian shook his head and said, "No?"

"Oh?" Qi Kuo immediately realized that this Dafang Zhenren was here to cause trouble, so he said, "Then what do you think we should do, fellow Daoist?"

Fang Jian said, "I want the Sanyang Patriarch to come to me personally and apologize."

Upon hearing this, Qi Kuo's eyebrows tightened, and a celestial light flashed around him. He said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, enough is enough."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Fang Jian, who had transformed into Dafang Zhenren using the Ruyi Transformation, twitched his two long snow-white eyebrows and then said to Qi Kuo with an unhappy look on his face.

Qi Kuo also responded coldly: "I dare not, I am just giving advice to my fellow Taoist."

Fang Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to fight?"

Qi Kuo waved his sleeves and said with his hands behind his back, "Come!"
