The two exchanged several moves quickly, their movements so fast that the onlookers' eyes couldn't even keep up with their speed.
Wu Nian tried to rush up to help several times, but failed each time.
A moment later, the two figures separated. The God-King was clutching his arm, where black blood was oozing out.
Countless black mists swirled around the wound, slowing down the healing process.
Clearly, the deity was at a disadvantage and suffered a loss.
The crowd perked up and slowly gathered around the Divine Lord.
The deity casually wiped away the bloodstains and laughed, "Ruan Mingzhuo, you are as cunning and difficult to deal with as ever."
Mingzhuo: "Nonsense! You're the cunning one! Hiding yourselves, shameless! Your so-called extraterrestrial god, you wouldn't happen to be like you, without a body and only able to possess others, would you?"
A flash of anger crossed the deity's eyes, but he quickly realized what was happening. "Are you testing me?"
Mingzhuo: "Yeah, you're only just realizing it? It's true that being brainless affects intelligence—why are you staring at me like that? You don't even have a body, how could you have a brain?"
God: "..."
Even though he knew Mingzhuo was deliberately provoking him, he was still angered.
Some people are perfectly fine, so why do they have to have a mouth?
After a while, he started chuckling again, "I'm not going to argue with you. I've already released what was being suppressed under Qingmen Temple. And look at them."
He was full of confidence and had infiltrated Qingmen Temple early on, naturally looking for an opportunity to tamper with things.
Kongchen and two other eminent monks spent a lot of time studying Buddhist mental techniques in order to eradicate those resentful thoughts, and even studied the wisp of resentment sealed in Qingmen Temple.
It was at this moment that he directed his resentment at the three of them.
If Mingzhuo falls for the trap, then those resentments will be channeled back into Mingzhuo during this spell.
But if Mingzhuo doesn't fall for the trap, that's fine too. The three high monks, controlled by resentment, will become his puppets.
The deity sighed, "Who told you to be so unlucky as to encounter someone as cunning as Ruan Mingzhuo? You didn't have to fall into depravity; it's all her fault."
Kong Chen and the other two were shocked and quickly sat down cross-legged to circulate their spiritual energy to resist the invasion of resentment.
Outside the room, the sounds of fighting could be heard, clearly indicating that the thing being suppressed below was causing trouble within the temple.
Yuan Hui trusted Ming Zhuo, so she nodded to him and rushed out.
Wu Nian hesitated to leave, fearing that if he left, the area would completely fall into enemy hands.
Mingzhuo: "Don't all of you Saha sect members like to sow discord? Do you want them to blame me?"
Kong Chen broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Benefactor Ruan, we don't blame you! It has nothing to do with you; it was our carelessness."
The deity looked at him and said softly, "Why don't you blame her? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have needed to remove any resentment, let alone become tainted by it. You would have passed away peacefully, each with your own independent pagoda for rebirth, and would still be highly respected monks admired by thousands. But because of her, you have ruined your reputation in your later years."
His voice was seductive; even if you didn't want to listen, it still seemed to want to penetrate your heart.
Mingzhuo: "What a bunch of fancy stuff."
She walked to Kong Chen's side, grasped his wrist, and then suddenly raised her hand, forcing out a wisp of gray-black medium mist from Kong Chen's fingertips, which was then sucked into the Qingqi Bowl.
Mingzhuo hadn't expected this trick to work so well. She quickly grabbed the wrists of the other two high monks and did the same.
The three wisps of grayish-black resentment were absorbed into the Pure Qi Bowl.
The deity was shocked: "What are you doing?"
How is that possible? Once those resentful thoughts enter the body, they quickly follow the direction of blood flow and invade the heart and brain.
How could she remove it with just a wave of her hand?
Mingzhuo: "Idiot, your scheme has failed again! You won't admit you're brainless. Even Pei Di knows you can't just eat anything, how could you dare drink the tea that Axu handed you?"
She knew from the beginning that Kong Chen was not her target, but the fact that Kong Chen was placed here as such a large target must be to mislead her.
Now that she's seen through this, it wouldn't make sense for her not to do something.
So she instructed Gu Xu to hide a needle in his sleeve and, while pouring tea, to subtly prick his fingertip and let blood drip into it.
Gu Xu served tea to the other three, while he served tea to Kong Chen.
That person will definitely be wary of himself, but he will absolutely not be wary of Gu Xu, because he is in a hurry to hide his identity and will not make trouble for an ordinary person like Gu Xu.
“I didn’t expect Ah Xu’s blood essence to be so effective, probably because he is immune to all evils, but you’re definitely going to be in trouble,” Ming Zhuo said with a smile.
The deity's expression suddenly changed. He was currently in a state of possession, originally due to the invasion of evil spirits, and his body was experiencing a rejection reaction.
Gu Xu's essence and blood circulated within his body, blocking the flow of Yin energy.
Normally, he could dissolve that essence blood with a wave of his hand, but now he has to deal with Ming Zhuo with all his might and he's injured, so this is very bad.
Enraged, the Divine Lord slammed his palm down on Gu Xu, shouting, "Holy Child, what are you doing? How dare you help outsiders against me?!"
Mingzhuo's pupils contracted slightly, and in that instant, his aura surged. With the surging sword energy, he directly forced the Divine Lord to retreat repeatedly, unable to withstand the sharpness of the sword.
Realizing he was no match for the deity, the deity quickly changed his mind, asking, "Have you forgotten why you came here today?"
Since he had suffered repeated defeats, he didn't want to linger and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Anyway, after such a long period of stalemate, things have pretty much settled down on the other side.
She herself did not lose; on the contrary, Mingzhuo would pay a heavy price for her arrogance.
